My Disciples Are All Villains

Having experienced this several times, Lu Zhou was not surprised. With the effects of two Strengthened Binding Cage Cards, it was only natural that Yu Zhenghai and Si Wuya were unable to break free.

This was the second time Si Wuya was hit with this card. It seemed like the effects were just as effective.

When Lu Zhou used the first Strengthened Binding Cage Card, he infused it with some of the Heavenly Writing's extraordinary power so that he would not be harmed by Yu Zhenghai's energy. He felt fortunate that things were still within his control. He kept these two cards especially for him.

Si Wuya parted the front of his robe and lowered his head to look. Under the dim moonlight, the words 'Imperial order' were especially eye-catching. This was not 'Bind' as he had expected. He said in shock, "The Celestial Masters Sect's technique?" However, he did not think the old man before him was a member of the Celestial Masters Sect just because of this. This technique reminded him of his master's Binding Mantra. Both techniques shared quite a lot of similarities. He looked up and studied the old man again.

Lu Zhou stepped forward. When he was about three meters from them, he looked at Si Wuya and asked, "You wish to die as well?"

Before an expert, all plots and schemes were meaningless. Si Wuya said, "If I stood by idly, I would be doing a disservice to my Eldest Senior Brother, the Nether Sect, and the teachings of my master."

Si Wuya's actions surprised Lu Zhou. He remembered what Zhu Honggong told him. Si Wuya had rescued Zhu Honggong, Yu Shangrong, and Yu Zhenghai... Now, he was still trying to save Yu Zhenghai.

At this moment, Yu Zhenghai stood up. He placed a hand on Si Wuya's shoulder, pulled him back, and said in a deep voice, "I've told you. This has nothing to do with you."

"Why must you be this stubborn, Eldest Senior Brother?" Si Wuya asked with a frown.

"Listen to me on this." Yu Zhenghai's expression was dark as he sternly said, "Get lost."

Yu Zhenghai pushed Si Wuya to the side again. He had no other choice. It was not easy for the Nether Sect to rise to its heights today. He had already come up with a countermeasure. This was nothing but a branch. Worst case scenario, he could just give it up. As long as there was life, there would be hope.

Yu Zhenghai was no stranger to death. He had been bullied many times in the past. He met Lu Zhou's eyes and said, "One should answer for one's actions."

"Very well." Lu Zhou placed a hand on his back and extended a hand before himself. "I won't bully you. I won't be using any Primal Qi. If you can defeat me, I'll spare you."

Yu Zhenghai was slightly stunned. He did not know why this old man would target him. He had no quarrel with him. He was baffled!

Whoosh!

Yu Zhenghai charged forward with a punch.

Lu Zhou sidestepped him and tackled him with his shoulder.

Bam!

Yu Zhenghai flew to the side.

"Ding! Punished Yu Zhenghai. Reward: 500 merit points."

"Is that all?"

Lu Zhou's achievements in Body Tempering was not inferior to Yu Zhenghai.

Yu Zhenghai had experienced countless setbacks and sufferings, under his master's watch, he had converted his past experiences and misfortunes into motivation to work harder. Could he not defeat an old man without his Primal Qi? No!

Yu Zhenghai got to his feet again and charged. His fist whooshed through the air, and his attacks rained down on Lu Zhou.

Lu Zhou dealt with the attacks calmly. He parted the winds of the punches with his fierce palm strikes.

As the saying went, 'Four ounces could move 1,000 catties'.

Bam!

Yu Zhenghai reeled again!

"Ding! Punished Yu Zhenghai. Reward: 500 merit points."

"Again!" Yu Zhenghai cried out, enduring the pain.

The cycle repeated itself over and over again.

Huang Shijie and Hua Chongyang did not leave. At this moment, they walked into the hole on the wall as well. They stared at the scene before them with their mouths agape.

"S-so... t-this is how a Nine-leaf beats up an Eight-leaf?" Huang Shijie said incredulously. He felt as though he was watching a senior beating up a junior. It did not seem like the old man was trying to look cool.

"I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself."

"But... Why would Senior Lu pick on Sect Master Yu?"

The two of them exchanged a glance.

Miss Conch poked her head out between them and watched the battle.

Huang Shijie glanced at her before looking at Hua Chongyang.

Hua Chongyang understood what he was thinking. He said, "No." If they took Conch hostage, they were only sealing their fates. Moreover, the Penglai Sect and Nether Sect would be dragged into this. Moreover, he could not bring himself to do such a thing.

Bam!

Yu Zhenghai kept reeling. He kept losing, but he kept fighting. He struggled to his feet and said through gritted teeth, "Again!"

This scene reminded Yu Zhenghai of the terrifying training process of the Body Tempering realm when he first joined the Evil Sky Pavilion. That was a memory he could never get rid of for the rest of his life. His master had trained him with a regime that was 100 times stricter than what the others were subjected to. His training continued regardless of the seasons, whether it was freezing cold or sweltering hot. Ji Tiandao had tempered his body and will day after day, year after year. It was normal for him to be beaten up. Staying inside an icy cave naked and being exposed to the scorching sun were regular components of his routine. Perhaps it was due to his body, he successfully tempered his body and entered the Mystic Enlightening realm in ten years. It would not be an exaggeration to say the hardships he went through were equivalent to the collective hardships the other eight disciples went through, if not more.

The two of them fought for what seemed like hours.

Yu Zhenghai had lost count of the times he was sent flying.

Bam!

Yu Zhenghai was sent flying again.

"Senior Lu, I'm begging you!"

Thud!

Surprisingly, Si Wuya fell to his knees at this moment.

Without a second word, Hua Chongyang ran to Si Wuya's side and fell to his knees as well.

Yu Zhenghai was lying on the ground, panting heavily as he looked at the night sky. He was exhausted; he no longer wished to move. He felt as though all his internal organs were injured.

Lu Zhou sighed. 'Hang in there. I can't let this rascal off so easily.' With or without Primal Qi, his old bones were not made to withstand long battles. He had underestimated this rascal's tenacity. He looked at Si Wuya and asked, "You're kneeling for him?"

"Please spare the sect master, senior Lu." Hua Chongyang prostrated himself.

When he heard this, Yu Zhenghai suddenly shouted, "All or nothing..." He charged toward Lu Zhou like a bull, advancing with much greater strength than before.

Lu Zhou frowned slightly. 'Just how much strength does this rascal have? The Wuqi Tribe, huh? Should I act shamelessly?'

Yu Zhenghai did not have any complicated thoughts in his mind. Once he had a goal or target, he would not give up until he got what he wanted. He leaped to the side with the aura of a mountain bearing down.

Whoosh!

Instead of retreating, Lu Zhou advanced. He looked up and raised his hand at lightning speed.

As the saying went, 'Four ounces could lift 1,000 catties'.

Yu Zhenghai suddenly backed away, laughing. "You've been tricked!" He pushed both his palms down.

"Hm?" Lu Zhou suddenly felt Yu Zhenghai had the force of 10,000 ounces. Was this another characteristic of the Wuqi Tribe? His finger shone with a blue light as he said in a deep voice, "Rise." He pushed up, holding Yu Zhenghai up with his hand!

The others were shocked.

Similarly, Si Wuya and Hua Chongyang looked at this scene in shock.

Yu Zhenghai knew how heavy his technique was. He was almost certain no one could withstand his attack without using Primal Qi. 'How... is this possible?'

In just a blink of an eye, Lu Zhou tossed Yu Zhenghai, and Yu Zhenghai sailed through the air again.

Yu Zhenghai fell to the ground with a loud crash before he rolled around. He felt as though the world was spinning at this moment.

Lu Zhou said, "Trying to trick me?"

When Yu Zhenghai came to a stop, he endured the pain and looked at Lu Zhou, clearly frightened. It did not work! He lost again! He had lost completely. Fear washed over Yu Zhenghai's heart... He thought he was peerless in Body Tempering. Why was this old man so outrageously powerful? He felt despair rising in his heart as well. It seemed like everyone was as significant as an ant in front of a Nine-leaf cultivator. "At this point, you can do whatever you want with me, be it to kill or to flay me alive." He had never felt this kind of despair before.

"Do you think I don't dare to kill you?!" Lu Zhou tapped the ground lightly with his foot. Primal Qi surged.

When the Primal Qi rippled out, everyone present felt their hearts sink.

This was the end.

A palm strike sailed through the air at this moment!
