Chapter 999 - You Dare Covet My Things?
Chapter 999: You Dare Covet My Things?
Up until now, the supreme mystic power had not let Lu Zhou down.
After the supreme mystic power concealed the Confinement Seal’s aura, the Confinement Seal quietly descended to the foot of the mountain.
Meanwhile, the thousands of people from the Humble White Sect could not figure out what was going on at all.
Xiao Yunhe, who had also seen the Confinement Seal, reminded everyone, “Don’t make a sound.”
It was so silent at this moment that one could hear a needle drop.
Ying Zhao’s cunning had truly exceeded everyone’s expectations. The cultivators had already left, but it was still hiding, unmoving, in the depths of the pond. It was very cautious indeed.
Just as the Confinement Seal was about to enter the pond, it increased in size
Buzz!
The sound of the Primal Qi startled Ying Zhao. It stomped its hooves and emerged from the surface of the pond.
Alas, before Ying Zhao could fly out of the pond, the Confinement Seal increased in size again. It seemed as big as the sky at this moment as it pressed down on the surface of the pond.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Ying Zhao struck at the Confinement Seal in a frenzy.
Meanwhile, when Xiao Yunhe saw Ying Zhao emerge from the pond, he could not help but clap his hands. “It’s really Ying Zhao! This is the will of the heavens!”
Upon hearing these words, the thousands of cultivators rushed forward.
“Don’t come over,” Lu Zhou said again.
The cultivators came to a stop several hundred meters away.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As time passed, the frequency of Ying Zhao’s attacks grew.
The Confinement Seal shook and rang loudly.
Lu Zhou was not worried Ying Zhao would disappear beneath the pond. After all, once it was completely enveloped by the Confinement Seal, it would be bound in a sealed space. However, he knew he could not wait until Ying Zhao was bound. After all, Ning Wanqing and the others would return sooner or later when they discovered the life heart was fake. At that time, it would be truly troublesome. If it was possible, he did not want to use his enhanced Peak Trial Card. Who knew when he would be able to buy three Peak Trial Cards again?
“Brother Lu, I suggest we end it now,” Xiao Yunhe said.
Lu Zhou nodded.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Ying Zhao’s attacks grew even more frenzied. Under its violent attacks, the Confinement Seal shook even more.
Lu Zhou raised his hand and clenched his fingers.
The Confinement Seal shrank swiftly.
Ying Zhao cried out at this moment. Its cry was unusual; it contained human emotions.
Everyone present could clearly tell it was pleading.
“Livestock, you even know how to beg for mercy?” Lu Zhou said in a deep voice.
Ying Zhao once again let out a panicked cry.
Currently, the Confinement Seal was the size of a room. If it continued to shrink, Ying Zhao would be turned into minced meat.
Lu Zhou stopped the Confinement Seal from shrinking. Then, he asked, “Do you want to live?”
Ying Zhao fell silent and no longer made a ruckus.
Everyone was amazed by this. They did not expect Ying Zhao to be so intelligent. It could even sow discord and led the cultivators from the four forces in circles. If Lu Zhou were not around, there was no doubt Ying Zhao would be the winner today.
“If you don’t want to die, hand over your life heart.”
Ying Zhao let out a cry.
This time, the cultivators did not understand what the cry meant.
Lu Zhou turned and saw the cultivators from the Humble White Sect shaking their heads. None of them understood Ying Zhao. He sighed inwardly, wishing Conch was here. Since Conch was not here, he could only guess Ying Zhao’s meaning. He extended his hand and said again, “Life heart.”
At the same time, the Confinement Seal thrummed and buzzed threateningly.
“Don’t try to deceive me with a fake life heart.”
At this moment, a retching sound rang from within the Confinement Seal.
Everyone looked at the Confinement Seal intently even though they did not have a clear look.
On the other hand, as the owner of the Confinement Seal, Lu Zhou could, naturally, tell what was happening inside. He used his energy and brought out the crystal that was brimming with vitality energy out of the Confinement Seal.
The crystal-clear life heart was like a moon as it hovered in the air.
Everyone looked at it enviously. This was the life heart that cultivators fought to the death for. Who would have thought that it looked so beautiful? It shone dazzlingly and looked out of this world. It was 100 times more beautiful than the fake life heart. Its rich vitality energy seemed to imbue the trees and plants that had been destroyed by the earlier battle with life.
“It seems to be better than an advanced life heart,” Xiao Yunhe said with shining eyes. He was really tempted to ask Lu Zhou for the life heart. He was almost certain it could restore his damaged Birth Disk. However, how could Lu Zhou be willing to part with such a treasure?
Xiao Yunhe sighed. Soon enough, a terrifying thought appeared in his mind. He thought about snatching it away and escaping. However, he knew it was impossible. Moreover, when he recalled Lu Zhou’s terrifying strength, he decisively dismissed the idea.
After sensing the life heart’s energy, Lu Zhou asked, “Better than advanced life hearts?”
Xiao Yunhe said, “Since it’s a fierce beast with such high intelligence, its life heart should be a top life heart.”
Yu Zhenghai said, “Didn’t you previously say its intelligence is that of a ten-year-old child? Are there even more powerful fierce beasts than Ying Zhao?”
“Of course. There are two types of powerful fierce beasts: those with incredible strength but no intelligence and those with incredibly high intelligence,” Xiao Yunhe said.
Everyone nodded.
Lu Zhou looked at the Confinement Seal and said indifferently, “Withdraw.”
Ying Zhao fell out of the Confinement Seal immediately after Lu Zhou withdrew it. Ying Zhao, that was greatly weakened after losing its cultivation, flapped its wings. Its face seemed to be filled with panic and fear at this moment.
Everyone looked at it curiously.
At this moment, a cold wind suddenly stirred in the air.
“Who is it?” Lu Zhou frowned, activating his protective energy.
A cold light shone in the sky, accompanied by six distinct explosions.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
At the same time, monstrously huge energy seals sailed in the air as a Thousand Realms Whirling avatar appeared and disappeared a few times in a row.
Lu Zhou, who was lifted up by the huge wave of energy, quickly stabilized his footing.
Everyone was shocked and looked over. They were confused. Things had happened so quickly.
However, Xiao Yunhe had a good look at the shadowy figure. “Ye Liuyun?”
Everything happened too quickly, so fast that it was hard to understand.
Ye Liuyun emerged from the shadows. He wiped the blood off the corners of his lips before he smiled and looked at Lu Zhou whom he had pushed back frostily. “A good hunter is always patient. I’ve been waiting all this time to launch a fatal strike. Old man, it seems like you’ve lost at least four Birth Charts. Moreover, my dagger is poisoned. Sooner or later, you’ll lose all your Birth Charts.”
Ye Liuyun was elated, buoyed by the feeling of successfully seeking revenge for his destroyed Birth Chart. He threw his head back, laughing heartily and looking slightly crazy. At this time, he had the highest cultivation base.
Lu Zhou looked at Ye Liuyun who did not even bother to conceal his glee. Indeed, Ye Liuyun’s earlier consecutive attacks demonstrated his skills as a master assassin. Every move was aimed at destroying his Birth Charts.
Ye Liuyun said, “It’s too late for you to regret your actions now. Hand over the life heart, and I’ll leave you with an intact corpse.”
Xiao Yunhe and the others were stunned, unable to react. They only felt the world was truly unpredictable; everything changed in just an instant.
When Lu Zhou looked at his system interface, he noticed he had six fewer Critical Block Cards. This meant that his Birth Charts were fine. With this, he turned his attention back to Ye Liuyun and said, “You’re seriously injured.”
Ye Liuyun smiled and said, “So what if I’m injured? I still have seven Birth Charts. It’s more than enough to deal with you.”
‘Seven Birth Charts? It seems like King Chen managed to destroy another of his Birth Chart with the Hollow Halberd…’
Lu Zhou shook his head. “It seems like you don’t understand what I mean…”
“What do you mean?”
“You are going to die soon,” Lu Zhou said. He had been holding onto his enhanced Deadly Strike Card all this time. He did not want to use his item card too early in the game. He wanted to sit on the fence and watch the tigers fight. It seemed like he made the right decision. Moreover, he even obtained Ying Zhao’s life heart.
Ye Liuyun burst into laughter.
Xiao Yunhe said from the side, “Ye Liuyun, your death is near.”
“Who are you?” Ye Liuyun felt that Xiao Yunhe was familiar, but he did not recognize Xiao Yunhe.
he looked extremely familiar and could not recognize him.
At this moment, Lu Zhou said, “I hate sneak attacks the most. Moreover, no one is allowed to covet my things.”
Ye Liuyun said with a sneer, “You’re still posturing?”
Lu Zhou used Di Jiang’s power and the supreme mystic power as he launched his attack.
Bang!
In just a moment, the heavily injured assassin, Ye Liuyun, felt his vision blur. Before he could react, a palm seal had already landed on his body.
