Chapter 1203: True Fire Burning in the Red Lotus Domain
Qin Naihe still remembered the palm strike in Cold Breeze Valley. He was very experienced in dealing with unfamiliar cultivators, and he had also experienced many life-or-death situations. Hence, he knew the best to protect himself. The only time he had suffered a loss was when he was in Cold Breeze Valley.
Qin Naihe understood now how Qin Moshang had lost a Birth Chart before. Previously, he already had a hunch that the opponent had to be strong to be able to destroy one of Qin Moshang"s Birth Charts. He had advised Qin Moshang against coming to his place, but Qin Moshang and a few refused to listen. Qin Moshang had thought Venerable Master Qin would serve as a deterrent. To seek revenge was impulsive and stupid. Smart people would not be so rash. Just as he had expected, Qin Moshang might be the genius of the Qin clan, but due to his insufferable and arrogant personality, Qin Moshang was destined to suffer.
Most of the younger generation of cultivators were properly educated by their parents and elders and were also taught to be conscientious when dealing with matters. Only Qin Moshang was a joke.
Qin Naihe chuckled and said, "So it"s you, Old Senior. No wonder, no wonder."
Qin Naihe"s words further confirmed the ghost servant"s thoughts. As his flames of fury burned, the flaming skeleton suddenly manifested a green astrolabe.
When the green astrolabe flew up to the sky, it began to burn with True Fire. Following that, the 15 Birth Charts burst forth with a dazzling light before shooting out beams of light. Like dragons, they pounced toward the Twelve Sect of Cloud Mountain.
Nie Qingyun"s eyes widened in anger; at this moment, he could not speak.
"Sect Master, retreat! The important thing now is to stay alive!" Two elders dragged Nie Qingyun with them as they flew into the distance.
Thousands of disciples followed closely behind them.
Fire rained down on the land.
A protective seal appeared around the flying chariot, keeping the fire at bay.
At this moment, Lu Zhou no longer hesitated and flew up. He manifested his astrolabe.
Lu Zhou"s astrolabe swiftly grew and covered the sky.
Then, Lu Zhou imbued the astrolabe with his divine power and blocked the rain of fire. He wondered what Qin Naihe would do; would he launch a sneak attack.
The flaming ghost servant roared, "Surrender your life!"
Like a ball of fire, the ghost servant shot toward Lu Zhou. The Flaming Ghost Servant opened its mouth wide and shouted, "Surrender your life!"
Like a ball of fire, it shot straight towards Lu Zhou. It drilled forward, wrapped in the True Fire.
"True Fires aren"t easy to extinguish. Senior, with the power of the Dao, it"s easier to destroy the ghost servant," Qin Naihe said.
Lu Zhou ignored Qin Naihe. "I"m not a Venerable Master. How am I going to use the power of the Dao?"
Lu Zhou looked at the rapidly approaching flaming ghost servant. With one hand, he held the astrolabe up to block the rain fire. Then, he pushed his other hand out.
Whoos.h.!.+
The flaming skeleton, which used to be the ghost servant, collided with Lu Zhou"s palm seal. The two forces were locked in a stalemate, pus.h.i.+ng against each other.
All of a sudden, the huge force pushed Lu Zhou back. In just a blink of an eye, he was pushed thousands of meters back. As expected, a Fifteen Chart cultivator was too powerful.
Everyone was terrified.
On the contrary, Qin Naihe was puzzled. "He"s clearly a Venerable Master. Why isn"t he using the power of the Dao? Is he toying with his opponent?"
Qin Naihe recalled the palm strike at Cold Breeze Valley again. Although the palm strike did not contain the power of the Dao, its force was definitely that of a Venerable Master.
Qin Naihe looked down.
The ground looked like a sea fire at this moment.
Yu Zhenghai was pressing down on the Confinement Seal at this moment, making sure the third ghost servant was unable to move.
Qin Naihe knew this was a good time to make a move. No matter whom he attacked, he would be able to turn the tide of the battle. He took a deep breath; he could feel his heart racing wildly in his chest. It felt as though tens of thousands of ants were crawling all over his body at this moment. He was nervous; he was hesitating! Should he make a move or not? Should he make his stance clear?
At this moment, Qin Moshang raised his head with great difficulty and pointed at Qin Naihe. "Traitor!"
Qin Naihe, who was still hesitating, frowned. He turned around and retreated 1,000 meters, no longer caring about Qin Moshang"s life and death. At the exact moment he turned, he saw a scene that subverted all his views and knowledge.
"Go!" Lu Zhou immediately increased the divine power by almost half.
Bang!
The palm seal suddenly increased by several times.
The flaming ghost"s right phalange broke immediately. Due to the huge momentum, the skeleton crashed into the palm seal that was as big as the sky before bouncing back and falling down.
With that, Lu Zhou"s palm seal flew out as well. Then, it expanded several times again in size.
The jaw on the ghost servant"s skull trembled, making cracking sounds, but no words came out. No one knew what it was going to say. Since it was only a skeleton now, no one could see the frightened expression on its face.
Everyone watched as the palm seal chased after the flaming skeleton.
Before the ghost servant fell to the ground…
Boom!
The palm seal, which contained the divine power, suddenly accelerated and hit the skeleton, shattering it into fragments in just a blink of an eye.
"..."
The astrolabe in the sky spun and descended.
"I"d like to see what kind of disgusting technique this is!"
Unnamed in the form of a sword appeared in Lu Zhou"s hand. As he glanced at Qin Naihe, whose silhouette was faintly discernible through the clouds, he pushed his hand out.
Unnamed flew out toward the astrolabe.
Bang!
The astrolabe flipped over and was sent flying by Unnamed.
The shattered skeleton seemed to be relying on the power of the astrolabe to reform again.
At this time, Qin Naihe"s voice rang in Lu Zhou"s ears. "There"s no need to care about him. His power will disappear soon."
Lu Zhou ignored Qin Naihe. He mobilized his remaining divine power and sent out countless energy swords.
The energy swords looked like long dragons as they flew toward the astrolabe. One by one, they pierced the Birth Charts on the astrolabes. Those Birth Charts with strong defenses could only withstand three or four energy swords at most; those with weaker defenses were as fragile as paper and were easily pierced by the energy swords that contained the divine power.
"Ding! Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 3,000 merit points."
"Ding! Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 3,000 merit points."
"Ding! Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 3,000 merit points."
Lu Zhou continued to receive a series of system notifications until the ghost servant had three Birth Charts left.
At this moment, the astrolabe suddenly cracked. A storm of Primal Qi suddenly appeared, destroying the last three Birth Charts.
The flaming skeleton roared, "Die! Die with me!"
The Primal Qi storm wreaked havoc on the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain.
Under the Primal Qi storm, the True Fire raged and burned at an even faster speed.
Lu Zhou looked at the sea of fire that devoured the forest on the Twelve Sects of Cloud Mountain.
The cultivation world was rich in Primal Qi, and the vegetation was far superior to what was on earth.
The fire skeleton lay in the sea of fire and laughed maniacally.
Swoos.h.!.+
The flying chariot flew over from afar.
When Yu Zhenghai saw the tongues of fire dancing wildly in the air, he used the Great Dark Heaven Memorial to cover the sky and cut off the tongues of fire. The roar of the water dragon rang in the air, stirring up waves of water to extinguish the flame.
Alas, the True Fire quickly surged and burned again.
Yu Zhenghai kicked the Confinement Seal to the side and looked at the ghost servant embedded into the ground. Following that, a sky full of energy sabers rained down mercilessly.
"Ding! Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 3,000 merit points."
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 3,500 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points."
Destroyed a Birth Chart. Reward: 3,000 merit points."
With that, one of the ghost servants died.
However, Yu Zhenghai felt it was not enough. The energy sabers continued to fall for a long time. Only then did he nod in satisfaction as he muttered to himself, "This way, he won"t come back to life…"
The fire continued to rage as Yu Zhenghai put his Jasper Saber away and flew toward the flying chariot.
The flames were spreading at an unimaginable speed. Moreover, the bad weather in the red lotus domain with its fierce wind only fanned the fire even more.
The Twelve Sect of Cloud Mountain was drowned in a sea of flames in just a few breaths.
The skeleton on the ground pointed at Lu Zhou as it roared, "Venerable Qin will definitely kill you!"
Lu Zhou launched another palm seal.
Boom!
The palm seal seemed to carry the weight of a mountain as it pressed down on the skeleton.
Crack!
This time, it shattered into fragments and no did not reform again.
"Ding! Killed one target. Reward: 3,000 merit points. Domain bonus: 1,500 merit points."
