Chapter 1172 - Kindness Can Lead to Destruction
Chapter 1172: Kindness Can Lead to Destruction
Time was of the essence.
Lu Zhou had to reduce most, if not all, of the threats to non-threats in 30 minutes.
Although all of the members of the monster hunting squad were now on the ground, whether it was from being struck down or on their own accord to flee, Lu Zhou did not intend to stop. He tossed the Golden Taixu Mirror into the air.
The golden mirror was like the sun in the sky. A beam of blue light that covered thousands of meters shone on everyone, revealing their strength.
Under the blue light, Yu Wenqiu lay prostrated on the ground as his frail body trembled violently. He did not know where to hide.
When Yu Wenqiu was about to flee, Lu Zhou appeared above him.
Dozens of palm seals from the Expansive Heavenly Energy rained down immediately.
Yu Wenqiu instinctively raised his astrolabe to protect himself. Alas, his astrolabe only managed to withstand three palm seals. The following palm seals landed on him one after another.
In just ten seconds, many people had lost at least two Birth Charts.
Cao Zechun, the captain of the monster hunting squad, lost more than half of his 14 Birth Charts. Fu Ruandong who originally had ten Birth Charts lost all her Birth Charts.
Cao Zechun stared at the sky in a daze, wondering if the Grim Reaper was here.
In life, when taking risks, one should not be surprised if things go awry. In just a short time, the monster hunting squad made a quick judgment: scatter and flee!
All of them flashed and flew in different directions even if they were heavily injured. In this kind of situation, the bet was on who was chased. With that, the others would have a chance of survival.
Lu Zhou watched the monster hunting squad run. He rose higher into the sky and brought Unnamed in the form of a bow out.
Buzz!
Lu Zhou stood above the clouds and wind as he held a gigantic blue bow. A huge and long energy arrow was already knocked. Following that, his hand moved, leaving afterimages behind, as he released energy arrows after energy arrows in all directions at the fleeing cultivators.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The blue energy arrows were dazzling like fireworks as they fell like a storm. Each one contained the full might of the supreme mystic power. Their lethality made people despair.
Fu Ruandong, the Godly Archer, was lying on the ground and watching this scene. As though she had forgotten about the pain and the total loss of her Birth Charts, a smile could be seen on her face as she admired the blue fireworks in the sky.
“This… is what… real archery… is like…” Fu Ruandong murmured. Following that, a cold wind swept past, and her eyes turned lifeless as her aura vanished completely.
The energy arrows struck the cultivators who had fled 1,000 meters away. Some of them were unlucky and were struck multiple times, making them look like hedgehogs. Almost all of them fell to the ground, unable to move.
The cultivators were waiting for their deaths when Lu Zhou suddenly stopped releasing energy arrows.
Lu Zhou put away Unnnamed. He flew past Cao Zuichun and Fu Ruan Dong to collect their weapons and received two notifications in return. Then, he flashed and appeared above Lu Wu. He said, “Don’t move.”
Lu Wu raised its head slightly, wondering what Lu Zhou was doing.
Lu Zhou looked at the time; he did not have much time left. Without saying anything, he pushed a blue lotus toward Lu Wu.
“Old Thief!” Lu Wu was shocked. It thought Lu Zhou was going to attack it. However, it soon felt strong and rich vitality energy surging into its body.
Soon enough, there were more than ten blue lotuses above Lu Wu.
It was easier for humans to treat their own kind. Since they were small, the energy required was also lower. However, for a powerful fierce beast like Lu Wu, without a strong enough cultivation base, it was extremely difficult to treat its injuries.
Lu Wu did not expect that Lu Zhou would treat it so it was stunned on the spot., quietly enjoying the treatment. The energy from the Heavenly Writing was the purest energy in the world after all. Its injuries were healing at a speed visible to naked eyes, and the vitality energy assimilated and stabilized its life heart. One of its hearts that was damaged was also fully healed in a short time.
Lu Zhou landed when the Supreme Mystic Card’s time was up.
The sky was dark, and the strong wind blew the stench of blood away. If it were not for the scattered corpses on the ground and the destruction of the land, one would wonder if the battle earlier was just a figment of one’s imagination.
Lu Zhou bent down and checked Duanmu Sheng’s pulse with two fingers. He sensed the changes in Duanmu Sheng’s body and discovered that in Duanmu Sheng’s Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the corrosive power; the Great Void Seed, and Lu Wu’s essence Qi seemed to be maintaining a delicate balance and were fusing. This miracle surprised him. After he removed his hand, he murmured, “Unbelievable…”
“Master, how’s Third Senior Brother?” Conch asked.
“He’s fine. He’s better than expected,” Lu Zhou replied.
“Why is he still unconscious then?”
Lu Zhou stood up and placed his hands on his back before he said, “The three kinds of energies in his body haven’t completely fused yet. With his current cultivation, it isn’t easy for him to withstand such a large amount of power…”
“Oh.”
When Duanmu Sheng was killing the Li Lis at the Jianbei Circuit’s Northern Sword Canyon, he was only at the peak of the Nine-leaf stage. It would take a long time for him to process the new power; it was impossible for him to do it in one go. Ning Wanqing was right; this was a great opportunity for him.
“We shouldn’t stay here for long,” Lu Zhou said.
“Wait a… moment.” Lu Wu rose to its feet. Its paws were like the mountains.
“What’s the matter?” Lu Zhou asked.
Lu Wu said, “Your power… has been exposed. Young Master’s… Great Void Seed… has been exposed… We can’t… let them… go!”
Lu Zhou said, “It’s not easy to kill all of them.”
If the Supreme Mystic Card had no time limit, it would not be a problem to kill everyone from the monster hunting squad. He could use all kinds of skills without restraints and make them fall into despair, but his time was limited. Moreover, they even fled in different directions. It was good enough that he managed to kill more than half of them. He wondered if a Venerable Master could do more than this.
Lu Wu turned around and said to Lu Zhou, “Kindness can… sometimes lead… to destruction. Lu Tiantong… you have… changed.”
Lu Zhou did not refute Lu Wu’s words.
At this moment, Lu Wu raised his head and looked at the dark clouds where Primal Qi was gathering.
Boom!
Lu Wu stomped on the ground and jumped into the clouds as its nine tails fanned out. Each tail possessed the force to stir up a hurricane and make the earth shake.
“All of you must pay with your lives!”
The clouds roiled and the mist swirled as a terrifying chill blew from all directions.
The members of the monster hunting squad who were hiding were all frozen. Those who hid in the water were the most miserable; they were instantly frozen and became part of the lake.
Those hiding in the forests wore expressions of despair on their faces as they were being frozen.
“The beast emperor… is actually so strong…”
Previously, when they had their Birth Charts destroyed, they still had the strength to stand back up. Now, they could not resist at all. They could only wait for death.
In the end, due to their lack of understanding of the beast emperor, this legendary team in the Unknown Land became fertilizer for the land.
Since ancient times, there were many cultivators with this kind of ending.
In the eyes of the fierce beasts, humans were just a type of reptile. They did not have compassion for humans.
From the beginning until the end, Lu Wu only had one goal: kill all of them!
