read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 792

The place was deathly silent.

Those who had manifested their avatars silently withdrew them. They gulped, frightened and confused.

Ye Zhen was only a Nine-leaf cultivator. Although he had mastered the karmic fire and had several lives, his most deadly attribute had to be his cunning. His strength was a far cry from a Ten-leaf cultivator.

Meanwhile, Chen Tiandu was renowned under the heavens. Apart from Ye Zhen, he was the mainstay of the Flying Star House. He could even fight on even ground with Sikong Beichen. And yet, such a peerless character died after being hit by one of Lu Zhou’s palm strikes. He was completely powerless to fight back!

At this moment, Lu Zhou had used up all his extraordinary power. ‘I’m out of Deadly Strike Cards as well. Moreover, I’m sure that the price has gone up as well.’

However, Lu Zhou knew that he could not save this card even if he wanted to.

Ye Zhen was stunned. For as long as he could remember, his heart had always been as calm as a still lake. No matter how great a disturbance was, he had always remained unmoved. The more people he killed, the more he grew numb. Nobody could pressure him or threaten his life. Currently, his life was being held in another person’s hand. This was the first time he had felt such helpless despair. He looked at the palm-shaped pit in a daze as he called out haltingly, “House… House Master?”

The expressions of the 10,000 cultivators were indescribable.

When the Five Terminal Formation was broken, Primal Qi was restored to the Nine Infants avatar.

Lu Zhou’s cultivation base was restored as well. However, he did not have much energy left after such a long battle. Naturally, he still had the Peak Trial Card, but he did not think it was worth it to use the card in this situation.

Lu Zhou’s display of strength today served as a strong deterrent. No one dared to move recklessly.

Lu Zhou’s hand was still firmly gripping the last head on Ye Zhen’s Nine Infants avatar. Golden flames burst forth from between his fingers at this moment.

The remaining head struggled desperately.

Meanwhile, the red lotus karmic fire and golden flames canceled each other out.

It did not seem easy to destroy the last head of the Nine Infants.

Lu Zhou gauged his extraordinary power again. Indeed, there was nothing left. He looked at Ye Zhen who was breathing rapidly, ‘Should I purchase a Deadly Strike Card right now and end this battle?’

Ye Zhen’s consciousness was fading away; his eyes were rolled up into the sockets. However, at this moment, his red lotus buzzed.

Ye Zhen’s 170-foot avatar grew to 200 feet tall.

“A Ten-leaf Nine Infants!” Yu Zhenghai could not help but feel amazed. “This is the first time someone has lasted this long against my master.”

The members of the Flying Star House saw a ray of hope amidst the darkness and despair. They really hoped Ye Zhen would survive but felt slightly conflicted when they thought about the Nine Infants. Even if he survived, would it be right for him to continue to stay in the Flying Star House? Indescribable despair filled their hearts when they thought about their dead house master.

The balance was destroyed at this moment.

Sikong Beichen was fully on guard.

Ye Zhen’s power increased several folds in just a moment.

Bam!

Ye Zhen finally managed to break free of Lu Zhou’s grip. After he caught his breath, he chuckled. Currently, he resembled the vicious and horrifying Nine Infants. It was difficult to even look him in the eyes. He reveled in his increasing strength and the new height of his avatar before he looked at Lu Zhou and said triumphantly, “The heavens are on my side! The heavens are on my side! So this is what it feels like to be a Ten-leaf cultivator? You’ve used up all your strength… It’s my turn now!”

Lu Zhou shook his head. “Everyone thinks you’re smart, but you’re acting extremely foolish now. Not even Chen Tiandu can withstand my palm strike. What makes you think you, with your crippled Nine Infants avatar and recently attained Ten-leaf stage, are able to defeat me who had just recently attained the Ten-leaf stage. How are you going to defeat me?”

Ye Zhen was taken aback. “…” Lu Zhou’s words were akin to a bucket of cold water that was splashed on his face. He recalled that shocking palm seal earlier and was reminded of Chen Tiandu’s death.

‘Run!’

Ye Zhen withdrew his avatar. He tapped his dantian’s sea of Qi and ignited his sea of Qi. In just a moment, he was bathed in flames and shot toward the horizon like a meteorite.

The others were stunned speechless by this.

‘He had spoken so arrogantly just a moment ago, and now, he’s making such a cowardly move?’

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and shook his head. Then, he raised his hand again.

Binding Cage Card!

This was his third Cage Bind Card.

The golden cage flew out along with Lu Zhou as he pursued Ye Zhen in the air.

The others followed suit.

Lu Zhou looked at the golden cage and said, “I don’t think you’ll be lucky every single time!”

Ye Zhen did not even look behind himself as he continued shooting past a few peaks. If he went further, he would be leaving Cloud Mountain’s range.

Ye Zhen turned to look at the golden cage and recalled the golden cage from before. He wondered if it was the same trick. He was under the impression that the golden cage was used to track him so he landed on the ground and waited for the golden cage to drop. At the same time, he looked at the nearby peaks, searching for the best route to escape.

The cultivators followed Lu Zhou and flew above the forest.

At this moment, the golden cage dropped down on a canopy of trees.

Boom!

Ye Zhen nodded, pleased with his judgment. ‘It’s time to leave.’

Ye Zhen pushed away from the ground, flying at an angle. He had thought the golden cage would fade away when, contrary to his expectations, the golden cage began to close in on him.

“Hm?” Ye Zhen launched several palm seals at the golden cage.

A huge golden net was formed on the ground and in the air as it tightened.

When Lu Zhou saw this, he nodded. ‘It’s finally triggered!’

The trees around the golden cage were crushed by the cage.

At this moment, Ye Zhen had naturally sensed the abnormality of the situation. He continued to attack the golden columns that were closing in on him.

This resembled the scene when Lu Zhou captured Leng Luo.

A cornered beast would still fight…

“What technique is this? Why is it different from before?” someone asked in confusion.

“Wasn’t this a tracking energy seal? It can restrict one’s opponent as well?”

The cage continued shrinking.

The sounds of Ye Zhen’s attacks colliding with the cage resounded through the forest and the mountain range. Alas, no matter how he struggled, he could not stop the cage from shrinking.

A square bald patch was created in the forest as the golden cage drew tighter.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Ye Zhen seemed to snap at this moment. “Despicable!”

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Ye Zhen rammed against the cage in a frenzy. Alas, it was futile. Eventually, the cage tightened around his body like metal rings. He was bound tightly on the ground, and he had lost all access to his cultivation base.

Lu Zhou hovered above Ye Zhen and looked at him indifferently.

Ye Zhen’s heart shook as he looked at the calm old man. At this moment, he finally felt the extent of the old man’s power. It felt as though the person hovering above him was not human but a towering and insurmountable mountain.

It seemed like the old man had intentionally lured him into lowering his guard with the first golden cage. Ye Zhen despaired. ‘How sly!’

Lu Zhou raised his hand slowly. Unnamed appeared. He pointed the tip down as he asked evenly, “Ye Zhen, any last words?”

Ye Zhen looked around himself. He gritted his teeth and asked with a hint of defiance, “Is this your true strength?”

Lu Zhou shook his head and said, “You’re not fit to witness my true strength.”

“…”

The others gulped.

At this moment, the elders of the Flying Star House cried out, “The palace forces are here! We can’t lose Ye Zhen! Old senior, are you going to stand against the royal court?!”

“You’ve already killed the house master. Are you going to wipe us all out?!”

It seemed like the Flying Star House intended to struggle until the end. The moment the house master, Chen Tiandu, died, the power balance had been disrupted. The Flying Star House was now without a leader, and Ye Zhen was now a fish on the chopping board.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard indifferently and said, “Even if Chen Tiandu were alive, he wouldn’t have dared to speak to me in that tone.” He lowered Unnamed and asked, “So what if I decide to wipe all of you out?!”

Swish!

Under the eyes of the members of the Flying Star House, the Sky Martial Court, and the Cloud Mountain Sect, Lu Zhou brought Unnamed down. Energy shrouded Unnamed as it pierced Ye Zhen’s skull with utmost precision.

Bam!

“Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 5,500 merit points. Domain extra: 1,500 merit points.”

Indeed. What could the others do if the old man wanted to kill all of them? They felt chills run up their spines.

Ye Zhen could not resist, and he could not unleash Primal Qi. Therefore, Unnamed easily pierced his head.

With this, the new Ten-leaf Ye Zhen died! He was truly dead.

Lu Zhou raised his hand and withdrew Unnamed.

“…”

The pillar that supported the Flying Star House was completely destroyed!

The people from the Flying Star House panicked and began to retreat behind the Sky Martial Court cultivators.
