Chapter 331
Chapter 331 Who Will Be His Match?
As soon as the two avatars appeared, Duan Xing turned around and left without a word . It was better for them to stay away .
The Fiend Temple disciples were slightly stunned before they hastily followed Duan Xing to another mountain .
“Sect master, about the old senior…”
“You should look after yourself . Do you really have the time to worry about the old senior? Did you hit your head on the rock this morning?” Duan Xing retorted .
Duan Xing was right . The old senior was the master of these two opponents . Was there a need to worry about him?
Duan Xing led the other disciples off Cloud Shine Peak .
At this moment, Lu Zhou was staring at the two huge avatars as well . He nodded slightly . All the rumors he had heard were verified at this moment . Their strength and cultivation bases were, indeed, as powerful as Ji Tiandao . When Ji Tiandao’s great limit was upon him, his cultivation base had deteriorated . It was only natural that Ji Tiandao could no longer restrict these two disciples at that time .
Lu Zhou suddenly realized a problem . ‘How should I defend myself?’ His Divine Court realm cultivation base was not completely restored, and he only recovered two-fifth of the Heavenly Writing’s extraordinary power . Moreover, the extraordinary power was precious . It would be a waste to use it to fend off the spillover energy from his disciples’ battle .
‘I should probably find shelter . ’ Lu Zhou was about to leave when the two 100-foot avatars shot toward Lilac Mountain .
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong attacked at the same time with their Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars .
“Cloud Shine Peak is a nice place . It can’t be ruined . ”
“Agreed . ”
The saber and sword collided . Rocks split open, and the heavens trembled .
The Eight-leaf Golden Lotuses gathered power like whirlpools .
Yu Zhenghai joined his palms together and placed them before himself . His Jasper Saber hovered above him . Under the avatar’s enhancement, the Jasper Saber that was wrapped in energy was now 1,000 times larger . “Slash!”
Yu Shangrong’s avatar dispersed . He shot upward and raised his Longevity Sword . Thousands of energy blades merged with it, and he brought it down on the Jasper Saber’s energy blades . His avatar reappeared .
Boom!
The huge energy blade struck Lilac Mountain, causing a deep gorge on the mountain . If one looked up from the base of the mountain, the cut would resemble a slot canyon . The slot canyon did not last long before the sounds of cracking reverberated in the air . Rocks began to fall off Lilac Mountain’s face . With its support gone, Lilac Mountain began to crumble . Huge boulders rolled down the mountain, crushing trees along their way . The beasts on land ran for their lives .
Hua Chongyang looked down from above . He watched as Lilac Mountain crumbled .
“Keep up!”
“Understood!” The flying chariot flew toward Radiant Cloud Forest .
Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong fought fiercely along the way . Wherever they went, the trees would fall . The two of them continued flying into the depth of Radiant Cloud Forest .
“The Hundred Tribulations Insight puts great strain on one’s Primal Qi . Just how long can they keep this up?” Hua Chongyang had difficulty believing what he was seeing .
“Brother Chongyang, you have a Seven-leaf cultivation base . If you can’t figure it out, how do you expect the three of us to figure it out?”
Hua Chongyang gulped . He looked at the huge energy blades that flew back and forth between the two avatars . The energy blades seemed several times larger compared to when they had just started out .
After a series of exchanges, Yu Shangrong moved to the forehead of his avatar at lightning speed . He raised his right hand, and the Longevity Sword flew into his grasp . He closed his fingers around the hilt, and energy blades shot out from between his fingers . “Senior brother… take this . ”
Yu Zhenghai frowned slightly . He withdrew his avatar and shot toward the horizons . He unleashed his avatar again and raised his saber horizontally . He said drily, “Alright . ”
Hua Chongyang and the others held their breaths .
Yu Shangrong flipped his right hand and left a series of afterimages in his wake .
What shocked the others was that his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar left afterimages as well .
“Grand technique!?”
“Guiyuan Sword Technique . The Untraceable Sword . ” It was called the Untraceable Sword because it left no trace behind as it moved . The sword could no longer be seen by naked eyes due to how fast it was moving . Yu Shangrong studied Yu Zhenghai for a moment . Then, tens of thousands of energy blades converged and shot toward his opponent . With his avatar, he made a beeline for Yu Zhenghai as he wielded his Longevity Sword .
“Great Dark Heaven Seal!” Yu Zhenghai seemed to anticipate this move from Yu Shangrong . His energy blades converged . With the Jasper Saber in the center, he was now wrapped in an extremely tough defensive shield .
Bam!
The two forces collided . The excess energy rippled horizontally over a distance of 1,000 meters .
The trees on land were also affected by the ripples . If one looked down from above, it would seem as though someone had dug pits all over the place .
The two avatars dispersed at the same time after the great collision .
Yu Zhenghai retreated .
Yu Shangrong retreated as well .

They hovered in the air as they looked at each other from a distance .
Yu Zhenghai’s hand was tightly wrapped around the Jasper Saber . He flexed each of his fingers in succession . Veins popped along his arm .
Yu Shangrong’s little finger shook slightly . He quickly suppressed it .
Yu Zhenghai spoke in a bright and clear voice, “You’re much stronger than I imagined . ”
“You flatter me, senior brother . You’re not doing too bad yourself . ” Yu Shangrong smiled .
“Junior brother… You’re the first person who made me unleash all my strength,” Yu Zhenghai said solemnly .
“I hope I satisfied you, senior brother . ”
Yu Zhenghai spread his hands . His Jasper Saber spun in the air . At the same time, his avatar appeared again .
Whizz!
Yu Shangrong did not want to be left behind as well . His avatar appeared .
The chaotic flow of energy in the skies at the moment had caused a storm . Who would be a match for whom in this battle?
Meanwhile, Lu Zhou was still seated beside the windowsill . He would occasionally glance in the direction of the avatars . He silently praised the two rascals for being tactful enough to avoid this place .
Lu Zhou peacefully closed his eyes and entered his meditation state again . He could hear the clashes of the avatars every once in a while . The entire Cloud Shine Peak seemed to reverberate with it as well .
“Si Wuya…” Lu Zhou suddenly remembered another rascal . ‘Where is he?’
Due to the distance, Lu Zhou could not possibly see Si Wuya . However, he was certain that Si Wuya came here with Yu Shangrong . In that case, where would he be watching the battle from? He had three more improved Binding Cage Cards . Everything was ready . All he needed now was time .
Time passed by in a blink of an eye . It was a new day . When the sun slowly rose from the horizon, Lu Zhou heard thunderous clashes . He opened his eyes and looked in the direction of Hundred Leaves Lake . It was a complete disaster . His disciples were nowhere to be seen .
Lu Zhou looked at the cooldown timer for his item cards . Five hours…
“Old Senior…” Duan Xing called out at this moment .
Lu Zhou emerged from the room with his hands on his back . He saw Duan Xing standing respectfully in the center of the courtyard . The battle, which had gone on for three days and three nights, did not make Duan Xing lose his enthusiasm . In fact, he seemed more invigorated than ever . He said, filled with praise, “My horizons have greatly been widened! Truly!”

“What’s the outcome?” Lu Zhou asked . ‘Although their cultivation bases are equally matched, in a dragged-out battle, the factors that determine the victor and the loser are determination and experience . ’ Based on this, Yu Zhenghai would most probably win . However, it had been many years since he had spent any time with them . Perhaps, Yu Shangrong had matured after so many years . It might be too presumptuous of him to say that Yu Zhenghai would win .
“It’s hard to tell… However, in terms of intensity, the battle isn’t as exciting as it was two days ago,” Duan Xing said .
They were progressing into the late stage of their battle .
Lu Zhou stroked his beard . ‘They should be getting tired by now . ’ It was just like running . The longer one was in the race, the more tired one would feel .
After considering it for a moment, Lu Zhou said, “Let’s take a look . ”
“Alright . ” Duan Xing wanted to watch up-close as well . Alas, they were not brave enough .
Now that the battle was not as intense, it was difficult for them to watch from a distance . However, if they were too close, they were worried they would be discovered by the Nether Sect’s Four Great Protectors . With the old senior backing them, they, naturally, had nothing to fear .
“Kindly board the flying chariot, old senior . ” Duan Xing extended his arm at once .
How else would they travel together if not on the flying chariot?
The others boarded the flying chariot as well . Although it was damaged, it played a role at the crucial moment .
As soon as Duan Xing boarded the flying chariot, he gave the disciple at the helm a kick and said, “With the old senior riding with us, I must personally man the helm . ”
Lu Zhou glanced at Duan Xing . He said nothing . He reckoned that Duan Xing was only fit to be a small-time leader with that kind of attitude . In any case, it had nothing to do with him .
The flying chariot departed from the base of Cloud Shine Peak . It moved toward Hundred Leaves Lake .
“Old senior, kindly bear with this speed,” Duan Xing said .
Lu Zhou looked at the cooldown time . He stroked his beard and nodded . This speed was acceptable, considering they had to navigate around the trees .
As the flying chariot drew closer to the battle, the sounds of the clashing energies grew louder .
When the flying chariot was at Hundred Leaves Lake, their field of vision widened .
The nearby trees had all fallen .
Duan Xing smiled and said, “I’m going to speed up . ”

“There’s no need for that . ” Lu Zhou raised a hand and stroked his beard .
“Why?”
‘Why does he have so many questions? What a troublesome fellow!’
Lu Zhou asked, “Duan Xing, how did you find out that their battle would take place on Cloud Shine Peak?”
Duan Xing pondered over Lu Zhou’s question for a moment as he steered the flying chariot . Then, he said with a sigh, “I went through much trouble to find out about this when I went to Pingdu Mountain . ” “If you’re able to find out about it, then, anyone can find out about it,” Lu Zhou said drily .
“Old senior, are you saying that there might be other people here?” Duan Xing hastily slowed down the flying chariot as he steered it toward the periphery of the forest . Lu Zhou remained silent . Although it was only a guess, the possibility was high .
Duan Xing looked to the left and the right . After the flying chariot entered the forest, their surroundings were unusually quiet . A wave of regret rose in his heart . “You’re right, old senior . I’m too hasty and obtuse… The rats would all be gone by now with our flashy movements . ”
However, Lu Zhou remained calm, he did not seem angered . Duan Xing sighed inwardly with relief . When the flying chariot moved past Lilac Mountain, Duan Xing and the others were in awe . The huge chasm and the destruction wreaked by the energy blades shocked them . It was a complete mess down there .
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The clashing of energies sounded closer now . Duan Xing said, “Radiant Cloud Forest is up ahead…”
The flying chariot deliberately avoided the clearings formed from the battle and moved closer to the Nether Sect’s flying chariot .
They saw the two avatars vanish just in time .
In the skies, Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai reeled back at the same time . They somersaulted a few times before they finally stabilized their bodies .
After fighting for three days and three nights while maintaining their Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars, it was clear just how terrifying their cultivation bases were .
An excited expression appeared on Duan Xing’s face . “Old senior, I think they’re reaching their limits . ”
Lu Zhou stroked his beard as he looked at the two opponents facing each other from a distance . “There’s no need to rush . ”
Duan Xing did not dare to question Lu Zhou . If the old senior said that there was no rush, there was certainly something amiss .
