Satke Tackling
Chapter 53: 53
It shocked everyone when they saw Duanmu Sheng blazing. Even Lu Zhou did not expect that his third disciple, who was calm, steady, and behaved as a good senior brother in front of him, would turn into a rude man!
After shouting once, Duanmu Sheng simply injected his energy into the chains that bound him and swung them swiftly and violently. Fortunately, the large hall was quite spacious, or it would be destroyed by it.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
He leaped forward and dragged Zuo Xinchan into another fierce battle, filling the air with waves of energy again. Despite the fierce attacks, however, everyone knew that there was a gap between their cultivation base, and that Zuo Xinchan was deliberately using Duanmu Sheng to show her prowess.
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou watched them fight in silence. He did not say anything, nor did he intend to stop them. By watching them fight, he could learn more about the strength and cultivation base of his students while paying attention to the strength of Zuo Xinchan, who was the vice head of the Fiend Temple.
Although Ji Tiandao had defeated straight sect experts many times and shown the world his incredible prowess, every godly cultivator knew that he would become old and weak one day. So far, no one in the cultivation world has been able to break through this boundary.
The Fiend Temple, on the other hand, was the most ambitious sect in the cultivation world right now. It had built up its power by devouring other sects. In the past, it had even clashed with the Nether Sect, but there had never been a large-scale conflict because the two of them were afraid of each other's strength.
His attack on the female cultivators of Derived Moon Palace was just an excuse, and his true purpose was to visit the Gold Trial Mountain, form an alliance, and show off his strength.
However, did Lu Zhou really need an ally? And what made the Fiend Temple think that they were qualified to be her allies?
There are many powers in this great world. The Fiend Temple was not the only one who wanted to join hands with the Golden Court Mountain, and it was not as good as the others in terms of status, qualifications, and strength. It was somewhat ridiculous when proposing an alliance with only the vice head who ranked third in the Black Roll.
Therefore, Lu Zhou did not stop his disciples from getting angry.
As the battle progressed, the difference between their cultivation bases became increasingly clear. Then, Zuo Xinchan repulsed Duanmu Sheng with a powerful punch and threw him into Pan Zhong's embrace.
Bam!
The force of the collision sent Pan Zhong several steps back, leaving his arm numb. “Third Master, you don't have to fight him anymore!” he urges.
At this point, Duanmu Sheng finally realized that the distance between their cultivation bases could not be offset by his overwhelming resistance.
Mingshi Yin jumped into the middle of the great hall again. The fight between the two Nascent Divinity Tribulation experts proved to be more lively as they needed to figure out a way to defeat the opponent while controlling his attacks, in order to not inflict any major damage to the building.
Just like Duanmu Sheng, the years of suffering from Ji Tiandao had made Mingshi Yin stronger than any opponent with the same level of cultivation as him. However, his opponent this time was a Nascent Heavenly Tribulation expert with a four-leaf avatar.
That battle made Zuo Xinchan become so arrogant that she forgot herself. Under the enhancement of his four-leaf avatar, he shouted in a deep voice, “Understand the mind and see the character!” Then, he placed one palm over the other on top of his dantian and left his mind blank. The movement is called Dhyana Mudra, which is one of the strongest movements of Zen teachings.
As soon as the seal appeared, it suppressed all the surrounding energy waves and dropped Mingshi Yin flying backwards.
“Senior Brother!” Yuan’er small looked worried.
The result made Zhou Jifeng and Pan Zhong horrified as well. They could not believe that the vice head of the Fiend Shrine, Zuo Xinchan, was so powerful. At the same time, they finally understood why the Fiend Shrine could become a terrifying force among the evil sects in just three short years.
The battle was over, but Zuo Xinchan did not draw her ink-colored avatar, nor did she get rid of Dhyana Mudra. He was very satisfied with the result as he looked up and said, “Are the three Misters satisfied with the outcome of the battle?”
“…”
The large hall was silent, and no one answered his question.
“How can you have cheeks to show off? You are a Nascent Divinity Tribulation cultivator, and you have a four-leaf avatar! ” Word Yuan’er small, not sure.
“Third Master and Fourth Master are not ordinary cultivators. I had to use Dhyana Mudra. Yes, I admit that I oppressed them using this skill, and I apologize. ”
Zuo Xinchan knew that it was just a face-saving remark, so she did not put it into her heart.
It was then that Lu Zhou spoke again, in an old but powerful voice, “Zuo Xinchan!” It immediately attracted everyone's attention. “You have used your Dhyana Mudra cleverly. ”
“I thank Old Senior Ji for his praise. If possible, I would like to practice the fight with Senior Ji. ”
It shocked Duanmu Sheng, Mingshi Yin, Yuan’er Minor, Zhou Jifeng, and Pan Zhong.
The four men behind Zuo Xinchan also looked slightly surprised. That's not part of the plan! Even a peak expert of the New Divinity Tribulation who had seven or eight avatar leaves would not dare to make such a request! They were wondering what purpose their vice head was doing this. He had achieved his goal after defeating Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin, so why would he have to take unnecessary actions?
Lu Zhou's eyes were indifferent and his expression was calm. He was not surprised by the request.
In the middle of the great hall, Dhyana Mudra shone like ink while the avatar maintained its illusory form, showing everyone its incredible power. They seemed to be waiting for Lu Zhou to fight them.
Zuo Xinchan raised her voice and said, “Senior Ji need not worry. My Dhyana Mudra can block the ultimate skill! If Old Senior can defeat me in less than ten steps, I will be ready to help! ” His tone is proud and rather arrogant.
Lu Zhou slowly got up and rested his eyes on Zuo Xinchan. “Evil Sky Pavilion was no longer as strong as it used to be..” his powerful voice grew louder as he said, “.... but it was still not a place where evil creatures like you could act recklessly!”
When he finished, he reached out and stretched out his fingers, facing the palm outward. Meanwhile, the deadly attack card formed a small vortex in his palm. Turning counterclockwise, the vortex suddenly expanded and exploded into a blinding light. When the light reached its brightest level, Lu Zhou gently flicked his sleeves.
A super-sized hand seal flew towards Zuo Xinchan, looking like a Buddhist palm!
Big Seal of Fearless? Zuo Xinchan shouted. Her Dhyana Mudra was small when compared to that.
“Vice Head!” the four men shouted at the same time.
‘Effable strength’ has frightened everyone present!
How does the Buddha's palm hold monkeys? It was exactly like the Great Seal of the Fearless! [1] 1
Buzz!
In the blink of an eye, the Fearful Great Seal of Fear devoured Dhyana Mudra. Zuo Xinchan widened her eyes as she raised both of her arms and produced thousands of Dhyana Mudra while the power of her four-leaf avatar exploded!
Despite all his efforts, the Great Seal of Fearless continued forward, unhindered, and swallowed all the small Mudras. Then, with a loud bang, the super-sized seal smashed into Zuo Xinchan's chest and dropped her backwards, throwing her into the courtyard outside the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Bam!
The crowd was shocked at how powerful he was, as he had managed to survive the attack from the evil patriarch!
When Zuo Xinchan was thrown into the courtyard, she did a backflip and knocked herself down with both feet, breaking the stone slab that opened the ground as she landed!
He managed to stand firm and upright, but his eyes were full of fear.
