My Disciples Are All Villains

Daoist Master Xuan Ming hovered in the air. He was puzzled by the tall and muscular man's sudden appearance. He asked with a frown on his face, "You are?"

"I'm looking for him."

"Who's he to you?" Daoist Xuan Ming asked warily.

"An acquaintance and sometimes an opponent."

As the saying went, 'The enemy of my enemy is my friend'.

One of the disciples standing behind Xuan Ming said, "I don't think he'll be able to live for long."

"Is that so?"

"The Flying Star House always gets its revenge… Let's leave." Xuan Ming waved his sleeve. He did not want to waste time here.

The two disciples nodded.

The three of them were about to fly away when the tall and muscular flew in front of them again. He said frostily, "Wait."

"Why are you standing in our way, sir?"

"You may leave, but you'll have to leave your heads behind."

Xuan Ming was not in a good mood. When this man challenged him, he immediately drew his broken sword and coldly said, "You asked for this so don't blame me for this!" He moved like a fired arrow. He lunged and thrust with his broken sword.

The red energy sword was like the tongue of a serpent.

Bam!

Xuan Ming's energy sword stopped short a foot before the man's face. It was as though it was blocked by a sturdy wall.

'Hm?' Daoist Master Xuan Ming felt his arm go numb. He nearly lost his grip. He looked up and exclaimed hoarsely, "Golden energy?"

Yu Zhenghai stood with his hands on his back. The energies around him were locked on Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming suppressed the shock he felt as he tried his best to free his energy sword. However, he could not pull it free no matter how hard he tried. It was as though it was being firmly held in place.

"Weak," Yu Zhenghai said softly.

Realization suddenly dawned on the two disciples that they were in a dangerous situation. They did not hesitate and turned around to flee.

Yu Zhenghai flipped his palm and pushed it forward.

The Jasper Saber spun away from him as countless energy sabers shot out from it.

The two disciples barely had time to cry out before they disappeared.

Xuan Ming was thoroughly shocked by this. The golden energy was terrifying!

Yu Zhenghai stared at the person hovering horizontally in front of him and asked, "Where is he?"

Instead of answering the question, Xuan Ming said, "I'm the Flying Star House's Daoist Master Xuan Ming!" He could sense how powerful the man before him was. Revealing the force he was from was a last resort to save his life. He hoped the Flying Star House's name would be able to deter the man from killing him.

Alas, Yu Zhenghai could not care less about the Flying Star House. He pushed his palm out.

A golden palm seal struck the broken sword with a crushing momentum.

Yu Zhenghai advanced.

The broken sword shattered in just an instant, and the palm seal continued on its trajectory toward Xuan Ming.

The Great Dark Heaven Palm!

Bam!

Daoist Master Xuan Ming spat out a mouthful of blood in the air as he reeled back.

Yu Zhenghai launched another palm seal with a flurry of movements.

Xuan Ming glared at Yu Zhenghai. He gritted his teeth and bit back the pain as he summoned his avatar.

Whizz!

A Seven-leaf red lotus avatar appeared in the sky. It charged forth with its red lotus and blocked the palm seal.

Yu Zhenghai did not retreat. He continued to strike with his palm seals. The Primal Qi on his palm was instantly condensed into energy. A richer and swifter golden palm seal appeared.

Bam!

This palm strike hit the red lotus, denting it.

Xuan Ming spat out blood again. He dropped lower and hastily retracted his avatar.

Xuan Ming was gravely injured after suffering two hits. He would surely die if he took another hit. He was extremely frightened now. He looked at Yu Zhenghai and hastily pleaded, "Senior! Please have mercy!"

Yu Zhenghai looked down at Xuan Ming and asked, "Any last words?"

"I have no quarrel with you, senior. Why must you kill me?" Xuan Ming asked, perplexed.

"Is that all?"

"Senior… If I've offended you, please let me know. I'll atone for it. However, if you're going to kill me without saying anything, I..." Xuan Ming trailed off for a moment, his heart trembling, before he continued to say, "If I die, my life stone in the Flying Star house will shatter. At that time, the Flying Star House will come investigating! Senior…"

Yu Zhenghai interjected frostily, "If you're finished, die!" He could not care less about what Xuan Ming had to say.

Yu Zhenghai flicked his fingers lightly.

The Jasper Saber spun out.

When Xuan Ming saw the golden Jasper Saber, his eyes turned red. Energy surged from his body, and he summoned his avatar again!

Whizz!

Xuan Ming directed his red lotus upward, blocking the Jasper Saber.

The Jasper Saber was wrapped in the energy saber as it descended from the heavens with crushing force and slashed at the red lotus.

The lotus split open!

"A desolate-grade weapon?!"

Xuan Ming quickly joined his palms together.

The Jasper Saber cleaved Xuan Ming's avatar into two.

There was no doubt about the outcome of the fight.

The Jasper Saber returned to Yu Zhenghai.

The energy in the air dispersed, and the surroundings fell silent again.

Yu Zhenghai glanced at the two halves of the falling corpse as he shook his head. "My wise brother has exaggerated slightly. The red lotus domain isn't all that terrifying." It did not cross his mind that he had grown stronger as well.

Just when Yu Zhenghai was about to leave, a figure shot toward the corpse that had been cleaved into two.

Light glinted off a sword.

One slash, two slashes, three slashes.

The corpse was picked up.

Yu Zhenghai frowned. "An elite!"

It was not difficult to recognize an elite once they made a move.

After the corpse flew up in the air again, the figure kept slashing at the corpse.

The shadows of a red sword made a dazzling display in the air.

The corpse was diced into shreds before the pieces fell to the ground.

Then, the figure flew toward Yu Zhenghai.

Yu Zhenghai said, "Finally, a worthy opponent!"

He drew his saber and fought!

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The energy sword and energy saber clashed.

The energy sword was fierce. Its attacks were like a tempest. Yu Zhenghai had to retreat as he parried.

"Nice!" Yu Zhenghai was surprised by the elite swordsman. He shot backward. He spread his hands.

Great Dark Heaven Memorial!

Countless golden energy sabers rained down.

The newcomer did not relent. He shot past the energy sabers. He immediately faded out of sight. Then, it split into three before they charged toward Yu Zhenghai!

"Second Junior Brother?" Yu Zhenghai, naturally, recognized this kill. He was delighted.

"Eldest Senior Brother, focus! Don't you lose to my sword!"

Return and Enter Three Souls.

Three energy swords attacked at the same time.

Yu Zhenghai smiled in delight. An energy saber burst forth from his Jasper Saber.

Sovereign Descent!

A tidal wave of energy sabers rose and fell.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The three energy swords were devoured by the energy sabers.

The remaining energy sabers clashed with the Longevity Sword.

Both opponents reeled back.

Yu Shangrong retreated 100 meters back while Yu Zhenghai retreated 10 meters back.

With this, the battle ended.

Both of them looked at each other from a distance.

Their surroundings fell silent again.

There was a hint of surprise and unwillingness in Yu Shangrong's eyes. It was as though he was slightly unwilling to accept the outcome. After all, he was forced to retreat roughly 100 meters back. This was unforgivable. He continued looking at Yu Zhenghai.

Time passed. Blue seas turned into mulberry fields. The mountains, rivers, sun, and moon changed, but the individuals remained the same.

The Eldest Senior Brother Yu Shangrong knew had returned. After what seemed like hours, he said, "I've lost."

Yu Zhenghai shook his head and said, "No, you haven't."

"Hm?"

"The Jasper Saber is now a desolate-grade weapon. I have an unfair advantage," Yu Zhenghai said.

"I see." Yu Shangrong felt better upon hearing these words. "The red lotus domain is extremely vast. It's comparable to the golden lotus domain. Why did you come here, Eldest Senior Brother?"

"Master ordered me to come to your rescue," Yu Zhenghai said.

Yu Shangrong smiled faintly. "The Sword Devil has never lost a battle. Why would I need rescuing?"

"This is different… Second Junior Brother, are you going to go against master's order?" Yu Zhenghai used their master's name against Yu Shangrong for once.

Yu Shangrong sighed and shook his head. "Although Master is a Nine-leaf cultivator, he likes to do unnecessary things."

Yu Zhenghai laughed. "You should tell him that when you see him in person."

"There's no need for that…"

"Here, your scabbard." Yu Zhenghai tossed the Longevity Sword's scabbard to Yu Shangrong.

Something stirred within Yu Shangrong when his Longevity Sword returned to its scabbard.
