Chapter 1160 - Master Has A Bad Temper

During the battle in the Jianbei Circuit"s Northern Sword Canyon, Lu Zhou had mostly used energy seals. He had used the supreme mystic power sparingly and secretly. He had mostly used his five Golden Buddha"s Bodies to defeat the enemy.

At that time, Lan Xihe dealt with Lu Wu while Lu Zhou dealt with the others. Moreover, Lu Zhou"s Disguise Card was still in effect at that time. However, Lu Wu was not one to rely on its sight to identify its target. This was not surprising considering the manner in which he identified Duanmu Sheng.

Lu Wu gnashed its teeth as it said, "Even if... I... was reduced... to ashes… I"d… still recognize… you!"

The island in the middle of the lake was still frozen.

At this moment, the mighty Lu Wu seemed a little timid. It retreated as though it was faced with something extremely annoying that it did not want to face. Like a cat, it retreated in small and graceful steps.

Lu Zhou remained expressionless when he heard Lu Wu"s words. After all, Lu Qianshan had previously mistaken him for Lu Tiantong, the ancestor of the Lu clan as well; it was not too surprising if Lu Wu committed the same mistake. However, what was strange was that Lu Wu had interactions with Lu Tiantong as well. Was he a friend or a foe?

Lu Zhou looked at Lu Wu and said in a deep voice, "Do you really want to die?!"

If it were not for Lu Wu using its essence Qi to protect Duanmu Sheng, Lu Zhou would have thrown a Deadly Strike Card out without any hesitation. This was the only reason he had restrained himself.

At this moment, Duanmu Sheng charged out again and attacked from a different angle. The tip of the Overlord Spear was pointed at Lu Zhou as he roared, "Old thief!"

"Wicked disciple!" Lu Zhou turned around and struck with his palm.

Countless golden palm seals surrounded Duanmu Sheng in the air. When a golden palm seal landed accurately on his chest, the others followed suit and fell on him.

At this moment, Duanmu Sheng"s strong defense was on full display. The weaker palm seals felt like an itch on his body while the stronger ones only pushed him back and made him drop from the sky.

Based on this, it was clear Duanmu Sheng"s cultivation base was no longer at the Nine-leaf stage like before. He was many times stronger than before.

Lu Zhou"s bad temper flared up at this moment. He increased his force as he attacked like he was. .h.i.tting a sandbag; sometimes he attacked from the left, sometimes from the right, sometimes from above, and sometimes from below.

This old man has a bad temper!

Lu Zhou increased his firepower. It was like hitting a sandbag, sometimes left, sometimes up, sometimes right, and sometimes down. Since he was incredibly familiar with the Divine One Technique, Duanmu Sheng"s moves were useless against him.

After practicing spear techniques all year round, the Divine One Technique had long been ingrained into Duanmu Sheng"s memory. Although he was not himself now and his mind was in a state of chaos, it was instinctual for him to attack with the Divine One Technique.

At this moment, Lu Wu lowered its body and took two steps back. When it looked at Duanmu Sheng who was being beaten up, it said, "Shameless… Lu Tiantong, if you… have the ability… why don"t you… beat him… to death!"

Lu Wu retreated again.

"It hurts!" Duanmu Sheng cried out when he was. .h.i.t in the chest. No longer able to withstand the torrential attacks, he fell into the lake again.

…

Ye Tianxin and Conch flew closer to the frozen lake and continued to watch from afar.

"Master"s temper…" Conch trailed off.

"This is considered a light beating. In the past, Third Senior Brother was bedridden for three months after being beaten…"

"..."

"Apart from Eldest Senior Brother, master beat Third Senior Brother the most. Through that, Third Senior Brother gained the skill to endure a beating…" Ye Tianxin explained.

"Uh… Enduring a beating also counts as a skill?" Conch was speechless.

"Of course!" Ye Tianxian said, "I remember back when master wasn"t in the Evil Sky Pavilion, the Righteous Sect and the Heavenly Sword Sect took advantage of the disappearance of the barrier around Golden Mountain Court to attack the Evil Sky Pavilion. At that time, Third Senior Brother managed to hold on until master returned. If it were any other person, they would"ve been beaten to death by those from the n.o.ble Path."

"..."

…

Lu Zhou naturally would not kill his disciple; he only beat his disciple from all directions.

"Ding! Disciplined Duanmu Sheng. Reward: 200 merit points."

"Ding! Disciplined Duanmu Sheng. Reward: 200 merit points."

"Ding! Disciplined Duanmu Sheng. Reward: 200 merit points."

Lu Zhou continued to receive the same notification over and over again.

System. "..."

In the end, the disciplining session earned Lu Zhou quite a lot of merit points.

The disciplining session only ended when Duanmu Sheng called out weakly, "M-master…"

The Overlord Spear fell from Duanmu Sheng"s hand.

Lu Zhou flicked his sleeve and the Overlord Spear flew toward the island.

The spear struck a huge rock and shone brightly under the sun.

Duanmu Sheng"s current condition was too unstable. Although his life was not in critical danger now, he still needed a period of time before he could control his new power.

At this time, Lu Wu had already retreated dozens of meters away. It lowered its head and stared at Lu Zhou fiercely as though it was going to attack. When it saw Lu Zhou had subdued Duanmu Sheng, it said, "If it… weren"t… for me… he would"ve… died long ago…"

Lu Zhou turned around and glanced at Lu Wu. "If it weren"t for that, do you think you"d be standing in front of me with your life intact at this moment?"

Lu Wu"s mouth moved as it mumbled under its breath as though it was not convinced. No one knew what it was saying or if it was cursing.

…

At the distant sh.o.r.e.

Ye Wusheng and Ye Cheng watched with expressions of confusion on their faces.

"Brother Ye, why isn"t Lu Wu making a move?"

"I"m curious as well. He launched a blue palm seal; this means he can mobilize the power of heaven and earth. However, based on his performance, he doesn"t look like he has pa.s.sed his second Birth Trial; he"s rather weak. This is too confusing…"

"Brother Ye, there are all kinds of strange things in the vast world. Perhaps, the golden lotus domain underwent a huge change a long time ago?"

"That"s possible…"

There were slight differences in the various domains, but they grew greater and greater as time pa.s.sed, after all.

…

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou flew higher up into the sky before he pushed a blue lotus out.

The blue lotus bloomed and spun rapidly above Duanmu Sheng. In just a blink of an eye, rich vitality energy surged and shrouded him.

The vitality energy from the blue lotus melted the frozen lake and surged into the frozen-dead fishes. With that, the fishes that were brought back to life hurriedly swam away.

The entire area was cast by the blue light from the blue lotus.

The trees that lined the sh.o.r.es regained their vitality.

Crack!

The frozen ice blocks on the island cracked and thawed.

It was not long before the place regained its appearance in spring.

Lu Wu leaped back. It looked at the blue lotus vigilantly. "Old B*stard… Lu!"

After the blue lotus disappeared, Duanmu Sheng fainted. However, his condition seemed much better than before. The purplish-blue Qi, the essence Qi, and the corrosive energy merged into one.

Lu Zhou waved his hand, moving Duanmu Sheng onto the island.

Lu Wu said, "You can"t take... Young Master… away..."

"Young Master?" Lu Zhou frowned slightly.

"Stop pretending! Old Thief Lu, if you take him away... he will die!" Lu Wu"s hind claws dug into the ground as though it was prepared to spring forward.

Lu Zhou said, "I"m not Lu Tiantong…"

"Impossible!" Lu Wu clearly did not believe Lu Zhou.

"It"s up to you what you believe." Lu Zhou asked, "Why did you call him Young Master?"

Lu Wu muttered under its breath again, seemingly cursing again.

"Are you cursing me?" Lu Zhou could tell from Lu Wu"s expression, even if he could not understand its language, that it was cursing at him.

"If Venerable… Master Duanmu was... here, he"d… sever his… relations.h.i.+p with... you... a lesson!"

"Venerable Master Duanmu?"

"Shameless... human..." Lu Wu was firm in its belief that Lu Zhou was Lu Tiantong.

Lu Zhou said, slightly surprised, "You"re saying Duanmu Sheng is the direct descendant of Venerable Master Duanmu?"

Lu Wu remained silent and only looked at Lu Zhou with eyes that were br.i.m.m.i.n.g with hostility.

Lu Zhou said, "I"m going to take him away. How are you going to stop me?"

"Old Thief… Lu!" Lu Wu leaped up into the clouds before it swooped down.

Lu Zhou rose into the sky and held his golden astrolabe that was the size of the sky up.

Boom!

Lu Wu"s huge body and four paws landed on the astrolabe. Like a mountain, its terrifying weight pushed Lu Zhou down.

Back then, Lu Zhou was able to hold an island up with his extraordinary power. How could he not be able to withstand Lu Wu"s weight now?

The golden astrolabe turned blue, and a powerful force pushed Lu Wu up. It turned around and let out a deafening soundwave.

Wuuuu!

"Sound technique?"

The soundwave resonated throughout the entire place.

With the Heavenly Writing Power, Lu Zhou was naturally unaffected by the soundwave.

However, when the soundwave swept across the lake, it stirred up a huge wave.

Lu Zhou"s figure flickered. He put his astrolabe away before he pushed a hand out and said, "Confinement Seal."

The Confinement Seal flew out.

Lu Wu raised its head to look at the Confinement Seal that was like a fly in its eyes; disdain was apparent on its face. It raised its paw and swiped its claw at the Confinement Seal.

Bang!

The Confinement Seal flew back before it quickly flew back and circled above Lu Wu"s head. Then, it rapidly increased in size until its size was not inferior to Lu Wu"s.

Boom!

The Confinement Seal fell on Lu Wu!
