Chapter 406 - Abandon Wisdom

It was him. He was not mistaken. Liu Bing found it difficult to breathe at this moment, it was as though something was lodged in his windpipe, and he could not get it out no matter how he tried. He gulped repeatedly. So what if he was a prince? If he had lightning speed, he would escape without any hesitation. However, after witnessing that arrow shot, he pushed that thought out of his mind. Was he so naive to think that he would be able to escape?

The skies were clear, and there was a warm, gentle breeze.

Ha Luo, with one hand on his chest, could no longer maintain flight and dropped to the ground with a loud boom.

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 1,500 merit points.”

Lu Zhou stepped into the air as though he was on land and flew higher into the sky. He was Ji Tiandao, the great villain who defeated countless enemies in the past.

Shen Liangshou was kneeling on the ground as he watched Lu Zhou excitedly. Lu Zhou was his idol! Who cared about being the first on the whitelist, Xiang Lie, the prince, or the others? All of them dimmed in comparison to Lu Zhou.

Hua Chongyang, Bai Yuqing, Yang Yan, and Di Qing felt as though they were boosted with energy at this moment. They could barely contain their excitement as they faced their sect master’s master. They bowed in unison. “Greetings, old senior.”

Li Jingyi retracted her paper umbrella. She carried it in her arms as she bowed. “Greetings, old senior.”

The Azure Dragon Hall’s Second Seat, Yu Hong, looked at the sky with a pained expression. He felt awkward. Similar to Shen Liangshou, he did not know how to put his feelings into words when he recalled his past actions. He supported himself and rose to his feet.

The remaining 700 to 800 Nether Sect disciples were filled with emotions as they bowed and said in unison, “Greetings, old senior.” Their voices were loud and friendly, filled with reverence. This old man was their sect master’s master, after all. They could be regarded as the disciples of his disciple.

Si Wuya spread his wings. He looked at Ha Luo’s corpse with a stunned expression. After confirming that Ha Luo was truly dead, he was even more shocked. Since when was his master skilled in archery?

Lu Zhou hovered in the air and surveyed his surroundings. His gaze finally fell on the Other Tribesmen who were currently trembling in fear. He said curtly, “Kill them.”

Si Wuya bowed and said, “Understood.”

This time, nobody dared to Si Wuya. With such a powerful existence supporting him, who would dare to oppose him?

The remaining hundreds of men from Rouli and the witchcraft cultivators wanted to escape through the air. However, even their chief, Ha Luo, was killed by a single arrow. They no longer had the courage to escape.

Under Lu Zhou’s protection, Si Wuya dove as his peacock plume spread. A pair of huge and shining golden eyes swept past the bodies and chests of the people of Rouli.

Although the people of Rouli were known for defensive skills, they were instantly cut into halves by the heaven-grade weapon.

The Nether Sect disciples were filled with satisfaction as they watched this. Earlier, they had been overwhelmed by the group of witchcraft cultivators and men from Rouli. How could they not feel angry and annoyed?

The witchcraft cultivators had no way of escaping from Si Wuya’s onslaught of attacks. They were killed one after another. There were fewer and fewer Other Tribesmen in the area. They were now like a platter of loose sand. They had no means of resisting such an expert. Even if there was a Six-leaf elite among them, they would probably still find it difficult to stand up to Si Wuya who was in a frenzy…

Si Wuya He activated his avatar. The Six-leaf Golden Lotus swept through the crowds with huge golden wings. The two rows of buildings along Liang Province City were sliced into halves.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lu Zhou kept an eye on his merit points on the system dashboard before he finally closed it. Although each target was only worth ten points, he earned quite a lot of points since there were so many Other Tribesmen. Then, he slowly turned around and looked at Liu Bing. “Liu Bing.”

“Huh?”

“You colluded with the Other Tribesmen. Aren’t you worried that Emperor Yong Qing will have your head for this?” Lu Zhou asked.

“Uh… well…” Liu Bing found it difficult to string words together. He was so anxious he felt like crying.

At this moment, four of the six generals who stood in front turned to face Lu Zhou at the same time. “Old senior… W.. we would like to beg for forgiveness on His Highness’ behalf!” The four of them respectfully stepped forward.

Lu Zhou’s eyes shifted to the four generals. “Beg for forgiveness?”

“Old senior… His Highness had been at the borders for many years. Even if he had no contributions, his efforts must have meant something,” a general who stood on the left said.

“His Highness has always worked diligently… The citizens are filled without nothing but praise for His Highness.”

“His Highness carries the will of the Emperor. There are many things that are beyond his control.”

The four of them stepped forward again.

Liu Bing frowned. ‘What are they doing?’

“Generals?”

The general on the far left did not turn around. With a low voice, he said, “Your Highness, please forgive us for our insubordination.”

The four of them bowed at Lu Zhou. As soon as they bowed, they quickly leaped toward Lu Zhou.

“In the name of the Emperor!”

Whizz!

Four avatars appeared, and energies began to collide.

The buzz of the resonance was extremely deafening.

“Master!”

“Old senior!”

The others exclaimed in shock.

The shining golden avatars were formed from semi-transparent energies. The four avatars gathered, putting their lives on the line together…

With barely a moment to spare, Lu Zhou shattered an Impeccable Card. A shining Golden Buddha Body appeared, shielding him.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Four deafening explosions rang in the air, as the four avatars collided with the Golden Buddha Body before shattering.

The generals were sent flying back, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

When Liu Bing regained his senses, he shouted, “Are you out of your minds?! What do you think you’re doing?”

The two remaining generals stopped Liu Bing. “They’re men of His Majesty to begin with! Please stay your anger, Your Highness!”

These words immediately brought Liu Bing back to his senses. The four generals were the men of the Emperor, to begin with. He only trusted these two generals by his side. All the others whom he trusted had long died on the battlefield at the border in the distant west. These four men were merely obeying his father, the Emperor. That aside, the thing that shocked him most was how Lu Zhou remained unharmed even with the four generals’ surprise attack. Lu Zhou was truly too powerful! These four had disregarded their lives to attack Lu Zhou. Their attacks might be even stronger than the joint attacks from Hua Chongyang, Bai Yuqing, Yang Yan, and Di Qing. Even then, they could not do anything to the 100-foot Golden Buddha Body! It was too f*cking tough!

Ten seconds passed by in a blink of an eye.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. There was a trace of indignance in his expression. If he was honest, he did not know how he should go about killing these people. His only option was to use a Peak Trial Card, however… it would be a waste to use it in this situation. Using Deadly Strike Cards was a waste as well. If he left it up to Hua Chongyang and the others, he would not be rewarded with merit points. This was a difficult situation for him.

Everyone had no idea that the greatest villain of all time was currently thinking of the best way to earn merit points instead of defending against the attacks.

Rumble!

Among the rubble, a figure suddenly pushed the debris away and looked up.

Xiang Lie stomped his feet on the ground. A tremor rippled out to about 100 meters away. Like a cannonball, he attacked from below. He joined his palms and raised his hands. His left index finger and right index finger were pointed up. There was a talisman held between his two fingers with the words ‘Abandon Wisdom’ on it. ‘Abandon Wisdom’ meant one should empty one’s mind of all ideas, distracting thoughts, flashy elements, and strike with all of one’s strength.

Xiang Lie’s eyes gleamed. A trail of blood could be seen at the side of his lips.

Lu Zhou looked down. He flipped his palm and pushed downward. A blue lotus appeared under his feet as a blue light shone from between his fingers…

Originating from nothing and everything at the same time. Living in samsara and learning from it.

“Abandon Wisdom!” A huge palm seal shot down, The words ‘Abandon Wisdom’ shone.

“Impossible…” Xiang Lie was almost upon Lu Zhou when his fingers were pressed down by the huge ‘Abandon Wisdom’ palm seal. He was defenseless as tofu.

Boom!

The Celestial Masters Sect’s Abandon Wisdom palm seal struck the ground with a loud boom.

The deep pit in the shape of a palm shocked the others.
