Chapter 116 - The Six Compatible Daoist Seal
Chapter 116: The Six Compatible Daoist Seal
“Please speak, Pavilion Master,” Hua Wudao said respectfully.
The middle-aged man was pained to see this. His master had to bow and kneel just for a chance to fight his opponent. Years ago, Hua Wudao held awe-inspiring authority in the Yun Sect and commanded the respect of many. However, today, his master was humiliated in the Evil Sky Pavilion. Worst of all, he, as a disciple, was helpless. What could he do against so many elites and the crushing situation? He could only lower his head at this moment.
Lu Zhou rose to his feet slowly. He placed one hand on his back and the other stroked his beard. He said, “First, you have no right to fight me. Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng will fight in my stead. You can try and block their attacks. Second, my time is precious. If you lose, you’ll have to agree to one condition of mine.”
The middle-aged man’s face turned red, his temper was clearly about to erupt.
Lu Zhou’s voice rang in the air again. “Naturally, you can choose to decline.”
“You…” The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, a furious expression etched on his face. He was clearly a middle-aged man, but he’s the perfect example of the saying, ‘The young are fearless’. He appeared defiant.
Bam!
Hua Wudao suddenly gave the middle-aged man a kick so hard that the middle-aged man fell to his knees. He berated him, “I brought you here to widen your horizons. Now, look at you. Are you trying to meddle in my business?”
“I dare not!”
“If you butt in again, I’ll sever our ties as master and disciple.”
The middle-aged man was stunned by his master’s words. He could only nod. “Yes… Yes, master.”
Hua Wudao strode forward with his hands on his back. He seemed very confident as well. He looked at Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin and said, “I can agree to any one of your conditions as long as it doesn’t involve the Yun Sect.”
“Very well.” Lu Zhou stroked his beard calmly.
Mingshi Yin came forward. He appraised Hua Wudao with interest. “On my master’s behalf, I’ll see just how great this tortoise technique of yours is.” He was speaking truthfully when he said that a defensive technique that had been studied for 20 years was a tortoise technique.
Hua Wudao was not offended. Instead, he raised his right hand slowly and said, “My pleasure.” When he said this, Daoist seals appeared on his body.
Heaven, earth, life, death, water, and fire. Six seal scripts appeared in sequence. They revolved around Hua Wudao at a uniform speed.
“Six Compatible Seal!”
The Six Compatible Seal was an extremely complicated Daoist Seal. Cultivators capable of cultivating this Daoist seal to its peak were rare. The term ‘Six Compatible’ was a cultivation method jargon. It consisted of three inner compatibilities of the essence, Qi, and spirit, and the three outer compatibilities of hands, eyes, and body.
Hua Wudao’s Six Compatible Seal was even more unique. A circle that was roughly two meters in diameter had appeared under his feet. It resembled the Taiji diagram that was overflowing with life. If he was capable of cultivating his energy to this state, he did not spend the past 20 years in vain. His obsession with cultivation was apparent.
When Mingshi Yin saw the Six Compatible Seal, he stopped looking down on Hua Wudao. He adjusted his stance and condensed his Qi into energy. Energy seals filled the air around him. There were so many of them that they could almost cover the sky.
When Hua Wudao saw this, he said, “If this is all you’ve got, I suggest that both of you come at me at once!”
“Hm?” Mingshi Yin frowned. He leaped and launched his energy seals at Hua Wudao. He shouted, “Arrogant!” Thousands upon thousands of energy seals rained down on his target.
In just a blink of an eye, the six scripts suddenly enlarged. The circle of light under Hua Wudao’s light grew to twice its size as well.
Bzzt!
Hua Wudao’s Primal Qi and the Daoist seal resonated loudly.
Bang!
Mingshi Yin’s energy seals bombarded the Six Compatible Seal. However, contrary to expectations, not only did Mingshi Yin fail to break the Six Compatible Seal, but his attacks were also reflected back.
Everyone else was shocked.
Mingshi Yin flipped around in the air. He stumbled back three steps before he finally steadied his steps. His arms felt slightly numb. It was no wonder Hua Wudao had confidently agreed to Lu Zhou’s conditions. He did not even regard Mingshi Yin and Duanmu Sheng as worthy opponents.
In this round, the defense was successful. Hua Wudao had won!
“Again!” Mingshi Yin was used to defeating his opponent through scare tactics and catching them off-guard. This method had served him well. However, his usual method of fighting could not be applied in the current situation.
“Separation Hook and Scabbard!” Mingshi Yin summoned his heaven-grade weapon.
Under everyone’s shocked gaze, the Separation Hook and Scabbard flickered in the air.
Hua Wudao frowned slightly, but his tone was calm. “A heaven-grade weapon.”
One of the reasons why heaven-grade weapons were so valuable was due to the fact that they could be used to break through energy. Since they could break through energy, it was only natural for them to be able to pierce through protective energy and avatars!
The Separation Hook and Scabbard left many afterimages in the air as Mingshi Yin waved them around.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Mingshi Yin focused his attacks on a single point!
The Six Compatible Seal seemed prepared against the attacks of a heaven-grade weapon.
The six scripts suddenly shone with a brilliant light before they merged into one and defended the spot that Mingshi Yin targeted!
Bang!
The energy reflected the attacks again.
The more ferociously Mingshi Yin attacked, the more powerful the rebound was. With this strike, he reeled back and nearly crashed into a pillar in the Evil Sky Pavilion’s great hall. Before his feet even touched the floor, he said in a deep voice, “Again!”
Mingshi Yin was truly unwilling to accept this outcome. He flipped in the air as he readied himself to attack. However, Duanmu Sheng’s voice rang in the air at this moment.
“Stand down! I’ll have a go this time!” The Overlord Spear was raised before Mingshi Yin, blocking his way.
Mingshi Yin was not the berserker-type, after all. He was skilled in speed and agility. If his opponent hid behind the Six Compatible Seal, Mingshi Yin would be at a serious disadvantage.
Duanmu Sheng brandished his Overlord Spear.
Bzzt!
Hundred Tribulations Insight!
Duanmu Sheng’s 30-feet avatar towered above the others in the great hall. He kept his avatar in its energy form so the great hall was not affected.
Duanmu Sheng was clearly more powerful.
“Thousand Waves!”
The Overlord Spear immediately left thousands of clones in the air.
When he saw this, Hua Wudao exclaimed approvingly, “As expected of the impressive Evil Sky Pavilion. It seems that everyone has a heaven-grade weapon here.” As he spoke, the six scripts around him converged into one again. They formed an energy shield as large as the scripts themselves.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The thousands of clones of the spear stabbed at the shield.
The Six Compatible Seal rippled and dimmed for an instant. However, it quickly regained its shine.
“Daoist Six Compatible Seal has all the blessings of nature! I’ve never seen someone use the Six Compatible Seal like this,” Zhou Jifeng praised.
“Me too. I’m from the Clarity Sect, and I’ve heard about the Six Compatible Seal. We were only focused on methods of attacks, but we’ve neglected our defenses! This battle has truly widened my horizons!” Pan Zhong said.
Duanmu Sheng snorted at this moment. “Doing nothing but defend will get you nowhere! Again!” He swung the Overlord Spear again. Clones from the spear that were clearly more powerful than before appeared.
Lu Zhou nodded in satisfaction. He spoke with his hands on his back, “Since you know enough to focus on a single point, you should implement it in earnest…”
Aerial attacks were not too effective against the best defense.
Duanmu Sheng nodded, “Thank you for the instructions, master!”
With the support of the Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar, the spear’s clones were moving so quickly that they looked like a blur.
“Imperfect Divine Intervention!” The ultimate skill of the Divine One Technique was unleashed!
Hua Wudao exclaimed in surprise. “I didn’t expect an Evil Sky Pavilion disciple to be this powerful… Alas, this isn’t enough!” He lunged forward, and the circle morphed. The exterior of the Taiji diagram expanded. The eight trigrams surrounded the circle now. Eight trigrams combined with the Six Compatible Seal!
