"You think you can keep me here?" Fan Xiuwen's words were filled with confidence. After all, all cultivators of the Nascent Tribulation realm Eight-leaf Tribulation were confident in their own strength.
The four-walled cage forms a square matrix and continues to shrink.
Fan Xiuwen took three steps back. He raised his hand in front of himself and started making hand seals.
Lu Zhou nodded lightly and praised him. "Great Dao Occult Technique?" This was a good opportunity for him to test the Binding Cage's abilities. Will the cage be able to withstand the grand technique?
In just the blink of an eye, Fan Xiuwen completed the hand seal. As soon as he finished, waves of energy surged out from him again.
Bang out!
The cage keeps shrinking.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
Countless shadows bounced off the inner walls of the cage. It was as if a ferocious beast was rampaging in the cage at this moment.
The eyes of an average person would not be able to catch Fan Xiuwen's shadowy movements. The speed is too fast. However, the cultivators were still able to catch a glimpse of his movements even though it was not very clear. This showed that Fan Xiuwen's strength was incredible.
The sound of impact continued to echo in the large hall. However, even with the grand technique, Fan Xiuwen failed to free himself from the Binding Cage.
Lu Zhou shook his head. 'You can only blame yourself for being unlucky. The arrest rate is only 30%, however, you are still caught.' After a while, he discovered that the sound of the sputter was gnawing at his ears. He shouted, "Shut up." With a simple command, the Binding Cage shrank at an incredible speed.
The crack!
Fan Xiuwen's armor and mask shattered, revealing his face. The cage had now shrunk to the point where it bound his body.
Lu Zhou only glanced at Fan Xiuwen indifferently before he turned his gaze into the distance.
Fan Xiuwen's face was broken, making him look terrifying. Well, as the saying goes, 'It would be hard to keep shoes dry if one traveled along the river often'. Fan Xiuwen had done all sorts of evil deeds 300 years ago, it was no wonder that he would bear the scars for it. After which, he took a completely different path from Ji Tiandao. It is ironic to see him in such a state.
Lu Zhou said, "From start to finish, you're the one who overestimates yourself."
At this point, Fan Xiuwen had given up on fighting. He could sense that the cage was not only locking him in place, but also affecting his cultivation base. He tried to circulate Primal Qi in his sea of dantian Qi but to no avail. He did not even think of freeing himself using his physical strength. He looked at Lu Zhou, clearly unwilling to accept his defeat.
Lu Zhou seemed unperturbed by the incident as if everything was going according to his plan, and rightly so.
"O-senior old ... what do you want?" Fan Xiuwen was confused. The strength of the Evil Sky Pavilion completely exceeded his expectations. Everything that happened today was beyond her expectations.
Lu Zhou asked coldly, "Who is the mastermind behind the incident of the Fish Dragon Village?"
Fan Xiuwen did not believe that this extremely powerful old criminal would offend the Black Knight and the important people in the palace as traitors. He coughed and turned around.
Lu Zhou did not mind. He said, "I have time on my hands ..."
"Time?" Fan Xiuwen laughed. “15 years. After that, who will remember you?”
Little Yuan'er raised his hand and replied, "I'll do it."
“...” Fan Xiuwen stared at the girl speechlessly.
Lu Zhou simply said, "That doesn't matter."
“Senior old, there's no point in killing me. Everyone who joined the Black Knights were prepared to lose their lives. Even if you kill us all, you won't get anything from us.”
"Hard-headed!" Lu Zhou shook his head lightly. After that, he no longer cared about Fan Xiuwen. After all, Fan Xiuwen had spent 300 years in the Black Knight. It had been more than enough time for him to grow tough and shut up. A person like Fan Xiuwen could not be threatened with death.
After all, Lu Zhou was in no hurry. Since the people in this country thought he only had a decade or so to live, he would do his best to live a good and long life to hate them.
…
Outside the large hall.
The third fight was really intense. Even the limestone floor of the square outside the great hall was completely destroyed. However, this was not the time to worry about such things.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and calmly observed the battle. They were locked in battle. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Too slow." His voice that had been encompassed by Primal Qi reached Duanmu Sheng's ears.
Duanmu Sheng understood the meaning of his master. As he moved, his speed greatly increased all of a sudden. At this moment, the Master Spear he was holding was no longer visible. Afterimages can be seen everywhere.
The two Dark Knights were slightly surprised. After a protracted battle, it would be difficult for them to maintain their speed and strength. However, not only did Duanmu Sheng maintain his speed and strength, but it seemed like they had also increased!
'Really monsters!'
Lu Zhou pointed at the ongoing fight and said, "Leng Luo, you not only overestimated yourself, but you also completely underestimated the Evil Sky Pavilion."
It was clear that Duanmu Sheng was quickly winning.
The two Dark Knights suddenly felt the pressure on them increase dramatically as thousands of shadows from spears shot towards them. The attack seemed to be unaffected by their energy and the protection of their avatars.
If the full potential of the Overlord Spear was unleashed, it could even destroy an avatar.
The two Dark Knights began to bend under the pressure as they retreated with their avatars.
"Imust be!" How could a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivator who had just grown the pressure of a two-leaf Tribulation realm cultivator and a Three-leaf Nascent Divinity at the same time!
When Duanmu Sheng jumped up, Lu Zhou said to him, "When would you use your strongest technique if not now?"
The strongest technique of the cultivation method is called the great technique. A great technique would deplete a lot of one's Primal Qi. Therefore, cultivators would not carelessly use their grand techniques.
However, Duanmu Sheng looked like a machine filled with boundless Primal Qi. He showed no signs of slowing down at all. After listening to his master's words, he was filled with confidence. He brandished his Master Spear as he recalled Lu Zhou's demonstration of a grand technique. Spear and sword are only means for the same purpose. He shouted, "Imperfect Divine Intervention!"
In just an instant, countless spear shadows appeared and descended.
"Retreat!" The two Dark Knights retreated quickly. Unfortunately, it's too late.
Bang out! Bang out! Bang out!
The protective energy of the two Knights of Darkness was violated by the Spear Master. At the same time, the shadow of the spear pierced them from left and right. With two quick punches, they were knocked off!
Bumped!
The two Dark Knights landed on the limestone floor which was broken by a collision. Blood flowed from the wounds on their shoulders. As they pressed their hands against their shoulders to stop the bleeding, they looked at Duanmu Sheng in fear. They have been greatly defeated. No backhand schemes or sneak attacks. Duanmu Sheng had defeated them fairly.
Lu Zhou's expression was calm. He stroked his beard and nodded.
With victory, Duanmu Sheng's confidence rose to the sky. He's so happy! He knelt down and cupped his hands together before he said, “Thank you for the instructions, sir! I'm glad I didn't disappoint you and managed to defeat both!” He pointed at Yue Chong and Duan Yanhong with his Master Spear, worried that they would escape under his nose.
Fan Xiuwen gripped the cage bars. His eyes were filled with disbelief.
"There's one more .." said Lu Zhou coldly.
Fan Xiuwen gulped. His initial confidence and courage had been eroded by continuous blows.
"This piece is useless!"
"This piece is useless!"
Yue Zhong and Duan Yanhong shouted in unison, looking embarrassed.
After hearing this, Little Yuan'er spoke up, “There is no need to call yourself useless. Since you were defeated by my master, you can brag about it in the future!”
Duanmu Sheng scratched his head. 'Didn't I beat them?'
