read My Disciples Are All Villains - Chapter 833

The Ten-leaf golden lotus avatar towered in the air. The golden karmic fire made the 200-foot avatar look even more dazzling.

Anyone who saw the avatar would look at it in fearful respect.

For Nie Qingyu and the others, they knew Lu Zhou was finally going all out when they saw this.

The sword strike demonstrated his unparalleled strength! His attack was clean and thorough!

They were stunned.

Meanwhile, the huge energy sword accurately pierced the Yong’s heart.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The Yong looked as though it had forgotten how to struggle. It did not seem to register the pain searing through his internal organs as it felt its life quickly slipping away.

Nie Qingyun, Yu Zhenghai, and Yu Shangrong continued to look at the sword in awe. There was nothing flashy or beautiful about it; it was plain. However, when it stabbed into the heart of this defense-type Birth Chart Beast, it moved like a hot knife through butter.

After a brief moment of silence, the Yong seemed to finally register the pain in its body as it screeched wretchedly. Unlike the previous times, its cries formed a powerful soundwave. At the same time, the Primal Qi in its body rippled out in waves.

“Retreat!” Nie Qingyun flipped backward.

There was no need to block this attack and fight to the end.

Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong flipped backward as well.

Lu Zhou, who had just reached the Ten-leaf stage, was now the person standing closest to the Yong. The stubbornness of the Yong had exceeded his expectations. That sword strike had contained almost half of his extraordinary power, and yet, the strike still failed to kill the Yong.

After a beat, Lu Zhou put Unnamed away and retracted his avatar.

Seeing One’s Nature, unmoving like a mountain, water as calm as a lake, Buddhist Dhyana Mudra.

Lu Zhou made a series of hand signs.

The Dhyana Mudra kept the sound technique at bay. It resonated and thrummed at the same time.

With this, the Ten-leaf karmic fire Lu Zhou perfectly blocked the sound technique.

“I’d like to see how long you’re able to endure!”

Lu Zhou felt indignant.

Unnamed appeared in his hand again. It glowed with a faint blue light.

Even the Birth Chart Beast that was skilled in defense would not be able to block this attack from the extraordinary power and black runes.

Lu Zhou flew out as he brandished Unnamed. Every time he struck, he would leave a new wound on the Yong’s body.

At this moment, the Yong finally decided to give up on the delicacy in front of him. It turned around and fled, enduring the pain in its body.

Lu Zhou gave chase as he followed up with more attacks.

The Yong was already injured by Nie Qingyun, Yu Zhenghai, and Yu Shangrong. Then, it received a fatal blow from Lu Zhou. It was also burned by the Ten-leaf karmic fire. There was no doubt it would die soon.

However, Lu Zhou did not ease up nor did he let his guard down. Instead, he unleashed his grand technique and appeared in front of the Yong, holding his sword with both hands.

An energy sword several times larger than the one before fell on the Yong’s head like a guillotine.

Meanwhile, Nie Qingyun, Yu Shangrong, and Yu Zhenghai who had just flown over saw this scene. Their expressions froze immediately.

“Uh…”

The Cloud Mountain disciples’ expressions were even more exaggerated. They could hardly believe what they were seeing.

At this moment, the Yong that had been cleaved into two fell from the sky. That was right. The defense-type Birth Chart Beast that suddenly appeared was cleaved into two by Senior Lu!

In fact, Lu Zhou had only dealt this final blow with all his extraordinary power after he confirmed Unnamed could breach its defenses. He deemed this the safest course of action.

Lu Zhou did not want to waste too much time chasing after it. If they moved far from the range of Cloud Mountain, there would surely be more variables.

The Birth Chart Beast was so inconspicuous; it would definitely attract people’s attention.

Therefore, it was best to end the battle as quickly as possible and leave no trace behind. The simple but fierce sword was a good way to achieve that.

…

On a tree branch of a huge tree far from Cloud Mountain.

The few cultivators stared at the shocking sword strike with their mouths agape. It took them a long time to regain their senses.

“F*ck! He’s a Ten-leaf karmic fire cultivator!”

“What color is it? Sometimes it’s blue, and sometimes it’s golden.”

“I’m starting to think I have a problem with my eyes. I think we’re too far away to be able to see clearly.”

“I’ll send a letter to the Sky Martial Court now.”

“Letter my ass… Give me some talismans. Why do I need to be so diligent? This is a Ten-leaf karmic fire cultivator. Let’s not get involved in this. That’s enough watching for today. We’re retreating!”

“Boss, what color was that? Ack! Sorry, boss!”

…

The Yong, a Birth Chart Beast, crashed onto the ground with a loud boom.

“Ding! Killed the Birth Chart Beast, Yong. Reward: 6,000 merit points.”

Nie Qingyun and the others finally regained their senses. Even then, the shock lingered in their hearts.

After all, Senior Lu finally stopped suppressing his realm and used his Ten-leaf cultivation base to fight.

Nie Qingyun nodded. As expected, Senior Lu was incredibly powerful. Although they were both Ten-leaf cultivators, he was aware of the difference between him and Senior Lu. Finally, he said, “Congratulations, Senior Lu, on killing the Birth Chart Beast.”

“Master.” Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai cupped their fists at the same time.

Lu Zhou retracted his avatar and Unnamed. He nodded in response before he flew down toward the Yong. He hovered above it and looked for its life heart.

Nie Qingyun said, “The Birth Chart Heart must be somewhere near its heart.”

Lu Zhou said, “Not always. Most beasts that started cultivation have undergone some mutations. For a beast such as this, its internal organs and bones have become stronger. The heart is the heart. The life heart is a crystallization of vitality. These two objects aren’t the same.”

“I’m enlightened. My knowledge is too shallow.” Nie Qingyun felt embarrassed.

Lu Zhou raised his hand slowly, clearing away the trees and weeds in the surroundings. In just a blink of an eye, only the Yong’s carcass was left.

Nie Qingyun, Yu Zhenghai, and Yu Shangrong stood nearby.

“For the first time in my life, I witnessed how powerful the golden karmic fire is,” Nie Qingyun praised.

“Is it different from the red karmic fire?” Yu Zhenghai asked.

“When the red karmic fire ignites, its red flames seem similar to the fire that civilians lit in their houses. The golden karmic fire, on the other hand, seems more capable of destruction.”

“Which one’s more powerful?” Lu Zhou asked

“That’s hard to say. Those who mastered karmic power are few to begin with. However, judging from your fight with Ye Zhen, they’re almost the same. Back then, you were using the Nine-leaf cultivation base. If you used the Ten-leaf karmic fire, Ye Zhen wouldn’t have stood a chance against you, Senior Lu,” Nie Qingyun replied.

At this moment, Lu Zhou saw a life heart that glowed red. He waved his hand, bringing the life heart into his hand.

“Ding! Obtained the life heart of the Birth Chart Beast, Yong. Provides 1,500 years of life. Capable of initiating a Birth Chart. Birth Chart ability: Defense.”

Nie Qingyun’s eyes lit up. A hint of envy could be seen flashing in his eyes. “Senior Lu, is it really a Birth Chart Heart?”

Lu Zhou nodded and said, “Indeed.”

“Congratulations, Senior Lu!”

“Congratulations, master.”

The three of them bowed in unison

Lu Zhou put it away. He would study it in the future.

Since this was a Birth Chart Beast, it certainly had a connection to initiating a Birth Chart.

Lu Zhou’s current understanding of Birth Charts was too low. He could only make preparations to initiate his Birth Chart after he understood them.

“Let’s return.” Lu Zhou flew back to Cloud Mountain.

…

Inside the Sacred Rites Hall in the Sky Martial Court.

“Court Master, we’ve sent men to the Sky Wheel Mountain Range. They made a huge discovery at the eastern rift valley of the mountain range. There were signs of Birth Chart Beasts there. It’s likely that a Birth Chart Beast was born there.”

The elders seemed thrilled by this news.

“That’s good news. How many years has it been? It’s almost time for the red lotus domain to have a cultivator with a Birth Chart!”

“Court Master, I suggest we make our move now and head to Sky Wheel Mountain Range.”

“Yes, we mustn’t waste time!”

The elders spoke up one after another.

Yu Chenshu maintained a neutral expression. He did not respond to this topic immediately. Instead, he asked, “Any news on the Yong at Cloud Mountain?”

“The shadower did not reply… Our men are heading there now.”

Jian Tingzhong said, “It’s not easy to take down a defense-type Birth Chart Beast. It’s highly possible the Birth Chart Beast escaped from them. If that’s the case, the Birth Chart Beast will certainly flee toward the rift valley.”
