My Disciples Are All Villains

Over 1,000 silver-armored guards manifested their avatars with heights over 1,000 feet. They stood side by side, forming a strong line of defense.

At the same time, the formation appeared again, covering the sky. It was even darker than before.

The halberds in the silver-armored guards' hands burst forth with a beam of light, continuously attacking the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

Meanwhile, now that Whitzard completed its task, it cleverly retreated and hid itself.

Although Yu Zhenghai and Yu Shangrong's injuries had been healed and their strength had been boosted by Whitzard, they still felt pressured as they resisted the beams of light.

At this time, Lu Zhou flew toward the captain of the silver-armored guards before he said, "A formation that enables one to continuously release Birth Chart power?"

The captain of the silver-armored guards smiled and said, "Even if you're a Saint, you'll have to obediently surrender today. This Five Elements Sky Formation can gather the purest vitality energy in the world, constantly replenishing the silver-armored guards so they can unleash an endless onslaught of attacks on you."

Then, the captain looked at the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion who were resisting with all their might. Despite himself, he thought their efforts were rather admirable. Hence, he said, "If you surrender, I'll ask the Great Void to spare your lives and let all of you join the ranks of the silver-armored guards."

The captain of the silver-armored guards thought his team was rather strong. They might not be comparable to Saints, but they were still a force to be reckoned with. The Sacred Hall often sent them to the Unknown Land to carry out missions, showing their weight. He thought that the people from the Evil Sky Pavilion had high potential and were even stronger than his subordinates, and thus, would make a good addition to the team.

The battle was incredibly intense now. With the Five Elements Sky Formation, the silver-armored guards had the upper hand. After all, they had an endless supply of vitality energy.

The captain of the silver-armored guards was still lost in his fantasy of his team growing stronger when he heard a low voice by his ears.

"Did you forget what I said?"

"Hm? What?"

Swoosh!

All of a sudden, Lu Zhou appeared very close to the captain of the silver-armored guards and iron-armored huge beast.

"Ah?" The captain of the silver-armored guards' expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly unleashed a palm seal. However, the palm seal passed through Lu Zhou harmlessly.

"What's going on?" The captain of the silver-armored guards was perplexed. He looked around and saw nine figures surrounding him. He could not tell which was real and which was fake so he hurriedly controlled the iron-armored huge beast.

The iron-armored huge beast roared before spitting out an orb again.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Just like before, the attack passed through Lu Zhou harmlessly.

"A projection?" The captain of the silver-armored guards frowned.

As soon as his voice fell, a big and wizened hand fell on his shoulder.

"You're wrong."

The captain of the silver-armored guards shuddered despite himself and instinctively activated his protective energy.

However, Lu Zhou's hand seemed to contain the force of a mountain; it was immovable. It continued holding onto the captain's shoulder.

With half of the divine power, Lu Zhou yanked his hand back.

The sound of flesh tearing and bone breaking rang in the air as the captain's arm that had been severed by Lu Zhou's bare hand flew into the distance!

"My arm!"

The captain of the silver-armored guards hurriedly flew off on the iron-armored huge beast's back, widening the distance between him and Lu Zhou.

The divine beast continued to spit out orb after orb. Due to its size, it was not easy for it to escape, and it was not also not easy for it to pin down Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou followed closely behind wherever the divine beast flew. Nonetheless, he did not let his guard down; he would not make the rookie mistake of underestimating his enemies, especially when his enemy now was a divine beast. However, if there was no divine beast, even if there were more silver-armored guards, they still would not be his match.

The iron-armored huge beast circled Zhixu's Pillar of Destruction, evading Lu Zhou. Clearly, the captain of the silver-armored guards was stalling for time. In his opinion, once his subordinates were done with dealing with the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion, they would be able to rush over and besiege Lu Zhou. At that time, their victory would be guaranteed.

Lu Zhou used the power of the Dao as he unleashed a palm seal.

Boom!

A palm seal hit the iron-armored huge beast.

The iron-armored huge beast roared, sending soundwaves rippling out to the surroundings. Then, it stopped roaring abruptly before it swept its wings that glinted with cold light out.

This scene reminded him of when he fought the Nine-clawed Black Dragon in the black fog, and he was slightly startled. He raised his shield and hurriedly blocked the attack.

Bang!

Unnamed in the form of a shield caved in.

Lu Zhou felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His blood and qi roiled violently, and it felt as though his body was being torn apart.

"As expected of a divine beast!" Lu Zhou cast the power of the Dao again.

Time stood still.

The divine beast seemed to sense the slowing of the time and flapped its wings to rise higher into the sky.

Just as Lu Zhou arrived near the iron-armored huge beast, the time flowed normally again.

The divine beast brought the captain of the silver-armored guards and flew up along Zhixu's Pillar of Destruction, rushing into the black fog.

Whoosh!

"So fast?!" Lu Zhou was astonished. Before he could even make a move, the iron-armored huge beast had already disappeared.

At this time, the furious roar of the iron-armored huge beast resounded from within the black fog.

Lu Zhou frowned. 'Is it calling for reinforcements?'

Lu Zhou turned to look at the Five Elements Sky Formation.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and the others were still resisting the beams of light with all their might. They were very tenacious. If other Venerable Masters were in their shoes at this moment, they would have long been pierced by the beams of light, and their bodies would be riddled with holes.

Lu Zhou scoffed coldly and decided to deal with those silver-armored guards first.

Swoosh!

Due to his speed, when Lu Zhou moved, he generated an ear-piercing sonic boom. He appeared at the Five Elements Sky Formation and unleashed palm seal after palm seal. Each of the palm seals dealt with a beam of light.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

After palm seals pushed the beams of light back, they landed on the silver-armored guards. The palm seals hit their targets one after another.

One by one, silver-armored guards plummeted from the sky.

"Surround him!"

Dozens of silver-armored guards swooped down from the sky and surrounded Lu Zhou before they stabbed at him with their halberds.

In a battle at this level, they could not see Lu Zhou's figure at all. They could only rely on their senses and the… power of the Dao!

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Nonetheless, it was still not enough. With that, another dozen or so silver-armored guards joined the fray.

Lu Zhou was surrounded by his enemies that were like schools of fishes that were waiting to take a bite out of their prey.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

More and more silver-armored guards joined in, unleashing energy seals and beams of light to suppress Lu Zhou.

When Lu Zhou was about to be pushed down, he called out in a deep voice, "Pillar of Impermanence!"

Buzz!

The Pillar of Impermanence grew 1,000 times and 10,000 times in diameter. It went from having a diameter of 100 meters to a diameter of 1,000 meters. It sent the silver-armored guards flying immediately.

Under Lu Zhou's control, the Pillar of Impermanence swept out horizontally.

Hundreds of silver-armored guards spat out blood immediately as the sound of screaming rang in the air.

Lu Zhou controlled the Pillar of Impermanence and hovered in the sky.

At this time, a five-colored light orb flew over from the side at a speed beyond imagination.

Upon seeing this, the captain of the silver-armored guards, who was holding onto his right shoulder, shouted excitedly, "It's over for you!"

Lu Zhou shattered a Deadly Strike Card and rose up to the sky. His target was the iron-armored huge beast.

Currently, the iron-armored huge beast was the most uncertain factor. Coupled with the over 2,000 silver-armored guards, the commotion would definitely bring reinforcements.

Lu Zhou chose the most simple and violent method to deal with the most uncertain factor first.

The palm seal was like a mountain as it flew toward the iron-armored huge beast.

Lu Zhou no longer paid attention to the iron-armored huge beast. The Deadly Strike Card's palm seal that had been imbued with the divine power would definitely destroy one of its hearts.

At this time, a silver-armored guard found an opening and arrived at Lu Zhou's side, stabbing his halberd at Lu Zhou's vital point.

Lu Zhou calmly struck out with his hand.

Bang!

The palm seal knocked the silver-armored guard away. Its strength was vicious and fierce.

"Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,000 merit points."

A silver-armored guard attacked from the right.

Lu Zhou unleashed another palm seal at the other party's abdomen.

Blood gushed out violently from the silver-armored guard's abdomen.

"Ding! Destroyed one Birth Charts. Reward: 1,000 merit points."

At the same time, the Deadly Strike Card's palm seal forcefully blocked five orbs from the iron-armored beast. When it arrived in front of the iron-armored beast, it suddenly grew 100 times bigger.

Boom!

The captain of the silver-armored guards was shocked. He was forced to leap off the iron-armored huge beast's back.

The palm seal that was dazzling as a firework destroyed one of the iron-armored huge beast's hearts, causing it to plummet from the sky.

"Y-you… You're really going to oppose the Great Void?" The captain of the silver-armored guards looked at Lu Zhou in disbelief.

Lu Zhou flicked his sleeves and shot down another silver-armored guard before he said, "I want to kill you. Why are you opposing me?"

The captain of the silver-armored guard was speechless.

Swoosh!

Lu Zhou arrived in front of the captain in just a blink of an eye and struck with his hand again.

Boom!

The captain pushed his hand out as well. Alas, he was no match for Lu Zhou and was sent flying back.

"The Great Void wants to kill so I naturally will oppose it. Just like how I want to kill you, you'll also oppose me. Don't tell me the Great Void expects people not to resist and obediently let themselves be killed?"

"..." The captain of the silver-armored guards endured the pain and stabilize himself before he looked at the Five Elements Sky Formation. The formation was still stable. However, the iron-armored huge beast had suffered a fatal blow and could not be used for now.

With this, the captain ordered decisively, "Team One, return to the Great Void to request for reinforcement!"

"Understood!"

About 50 silver-armored guards put away their avatars and halberds before they gathered and flew away.

There were too many silver-armored guards; it was impossible to stop all of them from leaving.

Lu Zhou unleashed his grand technique and chased after them with his astrolabe in hand. The astrolabe buzzed before it released a huge beam of light.

"Block!"

In the Five Elements Sky Formation, over 100 silver-armored guards brought of their astrolabes to help their comrades block Lu Zhou's attack.

How could Lu Zhou let them leave?

"Very well. I'll start a massacre!"

Lu Zhou manifested his Thousand Realms Whirling avatar.

Everyone, including those from the Evil Sky Pavilion, was shocked and dumbfounded when they saw the avatar and the astrolabe.

"One Birth Chart Thousand Realms Whirling avatar?"

"It's… so short?!"

The captain of the silver-armored guards looked at the avatar in bewilderment. The opponent he had been struggling against for so long only had one Birth Chart? Was his opponent deliberately hiding his strength? It did not make sense. This was not the time to hide one's strength, after all. Moreover, his opponent had already shown his dominating strength earlier; what was the point of pretending or hiding now?

Naturally, only Lu Zhou knew the avatar was actually the blue avatar. He had used the Concealment Card earlier, after all.

Lu Zhou brought up his astrolabe again. 36 lights flashed before leaving only one dazzling light flashing.

'There's no doubt there's only one Birth Chart!'

The astrolabe was aimed at the small team of silver-armored guards who were getting further and further away.

The expressions of the 50 silver-armored guards changed drastically when they saw the astrolabe shooting out four beams of light.

"Block it!"

10 silver-armored guards spun around and held up their astrolabes to resist the attack.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The beams of light easily pierced through the astrolabes.

"Ding! Destroyed one Birth Charts. Reward: 1,000 merit points."

Lu Zhou received ten of the same notifications from the system.

With this, Lu Zhou had used up the power of Birth Chart from the blue avatar. It had only one Birth Chart, after all. Hence, he dismissed the avatar.

At this time, the captain of the silver-armored guards flew over with his subordinates.

"Kill," Lu Zhou said.

The five experts of the Evil Sky Pavilion and the two beast emperors began their counterattack. Influenced by Lu Zhou, their fighting spirit rose.

Lu Zhou was about to use Unnamed to shoot down the stragglers that were still trying to return to the Great Void to request reinforcements when he saw a stream of flames that spanned thousands of feet in the air, lighting up the entire sky.

Following that, a long cry shook the heavens and earth.

"The Divine Fire Phoenix?!" The captain of the silver-armored guards looked at the Fire Phoenix that had suddenly appeared in shock.

The Fire Phoenix easily caught to the silver-armored guards who were leaving before flapping its wings, drowning the silver-armored guards in a sea of fire.

Then, the Fire Phoenix flew toward the Five Elements Sky Formation, and its wingspan expanded, spanning tens of thousands of feet.

With just a look, it looked as though hell had descended on earth. The entire place for as far as the eyes could see burned in a sea of fire.

The Divine Fire Phoenix hovered near the Five Elements Sky Formation and looked down at everyone.

The captain of the silver-armored guards glared at the Fire Phoenix and said, "I'm Liu Chengzi, the captain of the Great Void Silver Guards. I can represent the Great Void and give you a chance to enter the Great Void."

The sudden arrival of the Fire Phoenix had halted the battle.

The silver-armored guards looked at the Fire Phoenix warily.

Meanwhile, those from the Evil Sky Pavilion who had seen the Fire Phoenix previously could tell that the Fire Phoenix had grown stronger again.

The Fire Phoenix looked at Liu Chengzi suspiciously.

Liu Chengzi continued to say in a deep voice, "Although you killed my men, I can represent the Great Void and grant you amnesty if you atone for your mistake by killing them!"

Then, Liu Chengzi turned around and pointed at Lu Zhou and the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion.

The Fire Phoenix continued to look at Liu Chengzi with burning eyes as it opened its beak.

Upon seeing this, Liu Chengzi did not wait and immediately said, satisfied, "Very good!"

At this time, Lu Zhou asked tonelessly, "Fire Phoenix, I've been waiting for you for a long time? Why are you hovering in the air doing nothing?"

"Huh?"

At the same time, a stream of fire shot out from the Fire Phoenix's mouth toward Liu Chengzi.

"Ah! Why?!"

True fire burned Liu Chengzi immediately, causing him to plummet to the ground immediately. No matter how strong the Divine Soul Bead was, it could not withstand the continuous burning of the true fire.

With a heart filled with doubts and confusion, the charred Liu Chengzi fell to the ground, screaming shrilly.

As the saying went, 'When the tree falls, the monkeys will scatter'.

With their captain defeated, the Silver Guards broke rank, breaking the Five Elements Sky Formation as they scattered.

This was not the time to consider merit points, but Lu Zhou waved his sleeve and said, "No one can leave!"

With these words, the people of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew in all directions.

"Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,000 merit points."

"Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 500 merit points."

Lu Zhou received ten notifications that notified him he had been rewarded with 500 merit points.

At this time, to stop the silver-armored guards from escaping, Lu Wu leaped into the air and cast Ice Seal again while Yu Zhenghai cast the Great Dark Heaven Memorial and Yu Shangrong used the Guiyuan Sword Technique, using energy sabers and energy swords to block all paths of retreat.

Following that…

"Ding! Destroyed one Birth Chart. Reward: 1,000 merit points."

This notification rang consecutively 1,001 times.

At this time, the Fire Phoenix rose higher into the sky. It spread flapped its wings, raining down fire.

A prairie fire started immediately.

"..."

"Damn, so decisive and merciless!"

Mingshi Yin rode on Qiong Qi and flew toward Lu Zhou.

The others had to fly back to avoid the fire, using their astrolabes and protecting energies to keep the fire at bay.

Buzz!

"Pavilion Master!" Someone called for help.

The people of the Evil Sky Pavilion were not impervious to fire, after all.

Upon hearing the call of help, Lu Zhou called out, "You can stop now."

With this, the Fire Phoenix tucked its wings and returned to its original size. Its flames disappeared, revealing the dazzling and vivid fiery-red feathers underneath. However, when it saw the iron-armored huge beast on the ground, it opened its beaks and shot out a stream of flames again.

The flames devoured the iron-armored huge beast as it rampaged and struggled. This went on for a while before it finally stilled.

Everyone was in disbelief.

'Aren't they both divine beasts?'

The Fire Phoenix looked around, clearly pleased with itself, before its gaze finally rested on Lu Zhou.

"Go and check the situation out," Lu Zhou said with a flick of his sleeve.

"Yes." Yu Zhenghai cupped his fists together. He thought that his master was still the best.

Although the Fire Phoenix was powerful, the Silver Guard was still a force from the Great Void and could not be underestimated. The finishing blow was powerful, but it was still best to make sure there were no stragglers left.

The experts of the Evil Sky Pavilion flew around, quickly sweeping the area.

As for the others, they stared at the Fire Phoenix in a daze.

The four elders were greatly impressed, but they were worried the Fire Phoenix would attack Lu Zhou. They hoped Lu Zhou would show some respect to the divine beast.

As soon as the thought of Lu Zhou showing a modicum of respect to the Fire Phoenix appeared in the four elders' minds, Lu Zhou looked at the Fire Phoenix and extended his hand before he said, "Life heart."
