Chapter 408 - Old but Still Vigorous

The Primal Qi storm came to an abrupt stop at the peak of its height.

Primal Fiend Potion?

So long as the general’s dantian’s sea of Qi was destroyed, no potion would be of help. All Lu Zhou had to do was to destroy the avatar.

Lu Zhou’s eyes seemed like they were burning blue as he looked at the general in front of him.

The general’s eyes were filled with fear. He discovered belatedly that the old man before him was like a demon king who had crawled out from a bottomless abyss. It seemed like his misconception that the old was weak had numbed his thoughts and judgment. Those deep and knowing eyes seemed capable of seeing through everything.

Lu Zhou’s hand clamped tightly around the general’s neck like a gold band. This was the best move to use; the Zen Sect’s capture hand seal. Since his opponent had consumed the Primal Fiend Potion, it was not advisable to have a battle of attrition. The only way was to defeat his opponent with one move!

“The Expansive Heavenly Energy?” Lu Zhou said slowly and clearly, “I’ll destroy your Heavenly Energy with my bare hands!”

He clenched his fingers that were shining brightly.

Crack!

The general’s head lolled to the side after Lu Zhou snapped his neck.

Lu Zhou let go, and the general fell on the solid ground with a loud bang.

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

The light blue energy on Lu Zhou’s body vanished. He had used up all his extraordinary power.

The Nether Sect’s Four Great Protectors were filled with emotions when they witnessed this scene. They saw no signs of deterioration in Lu Zhou’s cultivation base that came with the approaching great limit. Lu Zhou was just as majestic as he had always been! He was old but still vigorous!

Lu Zhou placed his hands on his back as he watched the ongoing battles in his surroundings.

Liu Bing’s subordinates fought more valiantly. After all, they were not injured when they started the fight.

Si Wuya, on the other hand, seemed to be having a progressively difficult time since he was wounded by the wolf king avatar earlier.

Lu Zhou had already used up his extraordinary power. If he wanted to help, he could only use the item cards. However, he might not have to.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Si Wuya reeled back. His Peacock Plume dropped down and formed huge wings on his back again. He flapped them.

The two generals who consumed the Primal Fiend Potion were as vigorous as ever.

“Li Jingyi,” Lu Zhou said.

Li Jingyi was startled into jumping. She bowed from afar and said, “Old senior…”

“Do you like to watch the show?” Lu Zhou stared at Li Jingyi.

Li Jingyi shuddered slightly. She said, “Let me explain, old senior… I only followed Xiang Lie here to keep an eye on him. If Xiang Lie had fought earlier, the Four Great Protectors would’ve been dead by now…”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. He looked at Li Jingyi from a distance and said, “Is this what Jiang Aijian told you to do?”

Li Jingyi smiled sheepishly and merely nodded.

“There’s no need for you to do anything against characters of this level, old senior!” She raised the paper umbrella in her hand. She leaped at lightning speed into the battlefield as her paper umbrella spun. A huge umbrella-shaped energy shot down from the paper umbrella.

“Penglai Sect. Green Bird.” Lu Zhou discovered something immediately. The umbrella in Li Jingyi’s hand was called Green Bird.

As the umbrella spun, energy blades shot into the surroundings.

“Nothing escapes your eyes, old senior…” Li Jingyi dropped lower. She summoned her Seven-leaf avatar again. Her Seven-leaf avatar that was nearly 90-foot tall worked well with her weapon, Green Bird. They launched a barrage of attacks into the surroundings!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three generals were sent flying as they spat out mouthfuls of blood.

“Thank you for your assistance.” Si Wuya rose higher. He shot numerous energy needles from the wings on his back. The needles shot toward their dantians’ seas of Qis.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The three generals’ avatars shattered.

At the same time, Green Bird multiplied into eight umbrellas. Then, another round of attacks that seemed to blot out the skies rained down on the three generals.

Si Wuya continued to attack as well.

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

Boom!

The three of them crashed down on the ruins of Liang Province’s city. Even with the help of the Primal Fiend Potion, they could not defeat their mighty opponents.

Everything was quiet.

The brewing Primal Qi storm above Liang Province’s city vanished without a trace as Primal Qi began to flow back in the air.

Li Jingyi retracted her paper umbrella. She bowed slightly toward the prince and Si Wuya before walking away.

Lu Zhou looked at the ruins on the ground. Everything was broken and chaotic. He shook his head. There had been three of them, but Si Wuya merely managed to take one out. If Li Jingyi had not joined in the battle, it would have been difficult to say who would have won. In any case, he found this outcome acceptable.

Liu Bing, however, did not feel too good… In fact, he looked slightly murderous.

Si Wuya retracted his Peacock Plume and descended to the ground.

Little Yuan’er looked up with a smile and said, “Seventh Senior Brother, she’s alive… Fortunately, I was here to protect her. Otherwise, she would’ve died!”

Si Wuya nodded awkwardly. “Thank you, Little Junior Sister.”

She meant well, but why did it sound like she was cursing?

Si Wuya carried Liu Wenjun and shook his head slightly.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou walked forward in the sky as he stroked his beard and looked at Liu Bing.

After his seemingly insane outburst, Liu Bing had calmed down. His expression was apathetic.

Lu Zhou looked at Liu Bing and said, “You’re not suited for the Divine Capital… The border is where your calling is at.”

Liu Bing was slightly taken aback. When he looked up, Lu Zhou was already descending to the ground.

Liu Bing considered Lu Zhou’s words before he shook his head and sighed. Was he after fame and reputation by staying at the borders for all these years? He had only returned to the Divine Capital one time, and he had nearly lost himself. He even colluded with the Other Tribes… He was this close to becoming an infamous character who would be cursed at for 10,000 years. He was so close to becoming a sinner who would even use his own younger sister! Before he knew it, he had turned into the kind of person he despised the most. His opponent was never Great Yan or Great Yan’s citizens.

The general on Liu Bing’s right was frightened. He asked tentatively, “Your Highness… Should we report back to the Divine Capital?”

Report back? Why would they go back? To meet that merciless person who would use his own son? Hilarious! “No.”

“In that case, where should we go? We vow to follow Your Highness to the ends of the world and beyond!” The two generals kneeled in the air.

“I want to go to the borders…” Liu Bing did not refer to himself with the royal pronoun.

“The borders?”

“I’d like to retrace my steps…” Liu Bing said gently as he nodded. He wanted to return to where the blood of his brethren was spilled and where their bones lay in eternal slumber. “If you’re unwilling, you’re free to go wherever you want…”

“We vow to follow Your Highness to the end of our lives!” The two of them did not rise to their feet and continued kneeling.

Liu Bing flew downward and said, “Write back to say that the Fourth Prince, Liu Bing, has died during the battle in Liang Province.”

Meanwhile, Shen Liangshou shook his head when he saw Liu Bing leaving. “Come to think of it, Liu Bing is quite the hero. Alas, the Divine Capital isn’t suitable for him. There’s hardly any freedom there. If he’s not careful, he would be consigned to eternal damnation.”

Little Yuan’er rolled her eyes and said, “Coming from you?”

“Uh…” Shen Liangshou felt embarrassed and offered no more of his opinions.

Si Wuya did not have the mind to think about Liu Bing. He was keeping a close eye on Liu Wenjun’s condition.

Lu Zhou landed slowly. He stood before Si Wuya with one hand on his back. He silently extended the other hand toward Si Wuya.

Si Wuya knew what Lu Zhou meant. He brought out the Si Wuya Peacock Plume with a gentle wave of his hand and brought it to his master’s palm.

Lu Zhou knew that Si Wuya was a man with many plans. This weapon was too powerful in his hands.

At this moment, the members of the Nether Sect ran toward them from afar. Their feet stirred up clouds of dust. In just a moment, the Four Great Protectors showed up in their sight.
