Chapter 185: Every Family Has Its Own Problems

Lu Zhou had already thought of a countermeasure before this. He was even prepared to use four Critical Strike Cards. Alternatively, he could just kill one of them first. The remaining three monks’ strength would be greatly weakened as soon as one of them died. He was quite certain Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin would be able to take on three of them. However, unexpectedly, the four Arhat Golden Bodies had merged!

The Golden Lotus under its feet was still blooming. Five leaves… Six leaves…

At this moment, Lu Zhou was in no hurry to make a move. He wanted to see how many leaves the combined Golden Bodies would sprout.

When the Golden Lotus finally stopped blooming at the sixth leaf, the Four Divine Monks shot past Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

Duanmu Sheng’s cultivation base was only at the Two-leaf level after all. Kong Jue and Kong Wen attacked him with the Ward Mudra and sent him flying.

Mingshi Yin blocked the first wave of attacks with his Bluewood that he fortified with Primal Qi. However, the Bluewood crumbled soon after. Naturally, he was not as straightforward as Duanmu Sheng. When the Bluewood crumbled, he was nowhere to be seen.

The Four Divine Monks’ target was no longer Duanmu Sheng nor Mingshi Yin. Their deaths were meaningless. Instead, they shifted their focus to Lu Zhou who was standing with his hands on his back at the bottom of the Hall of Great Strength’s steps.

As the saying went, ‘Kill the horse to get to the rider’.

“Seal of Fearlessness.”

Kong Wen, Kong Jue, Kong Zhi, and Kong Zhang clapped in unison. Four Seal of Fearlessness merged into one like the Golden Arhat Bodies. After merging, the Seal of Fearlessness was half the height of an adult. Alas, it still could not compare to a Great Seal of Fearlessness. Nonetheless, even without the support of the Taien Mantra, this attack could still claim the lives of many.

The disciples of the Heaven Choice Temple seemed resigned to their fates.

The shining and golden Seal of Fearlessness shot toward the greatest villain in the world. To be more precise, the strike was aimed at Lu Zhou’s head.

The Evil Sky Pavilion’s disciples did not seem worried at all at this moment.

Lu Zhou had intended to land a hit on the Golden Arhat Body. However, when the Seal of Fearlessness was shooting toward him…

“Xu Liao, what are you waiting for?”

Without anyone else noticing, Xu Liao, Xu Fan, and Xu Hai charged toward Lu Zhou. A greenish glow appeared in Xu Liao’s hand.

“A sneak attack?” Lu Zhou did not expect the three people by Xu Jing’s side would launch a sneak attack at this moment. It was obvious now that Xu Liao, Xu Fan, and Xu Hai had already betrayed the Heaven Choice Temple. He did not have the time to think and instantly shattered an item card in his hand.

A Golden Buddha Body that was 100 feet tall appeared!

Impeccable Card!

Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam! Bam!

The Seal of Fearlessness landed on the 100-feet Golden Buddha Body harmlessly.

Next, Xu Liao, Xu Fan, and Xu Hai’s weapons landed on the Golden Buddha Body with a loud clang. Two of the weapons shattered while the green light in Xu Liao’s hands shot inside the Golden Buddha Body and disappeared.

“Ding! Recovered a Sky Fragment. Reward: 100 merit points.”

Lu Zhou did not even have the time to inspect the Sky Fragment.

“Get lost!” Lu Zhou snarled. “Thunderblast”.

Three heavenly bolts of lightning struck, sending Xu Liao, Xu Fan, and Xu Hai flying back. Two of them spat out blood that arced in the sky while the other died immediately.

Lu Zhou shifted his gaze to the Four Divine Monks.

The Four Divine Monks stared at the colossal Golden Buddha Body with eyes brimming with shock.

“A Buddhist grandmaster?” Kong Wen felt his throat dry up. His eyelids were twitching uncontrollably.

The Impeccable Card could only last for ten seconds. Lu Zhou had to cherish every second he was given. He quickly raised his hand as another item card appeared. “How dare this puny Temple of Great Emptiness provoke me?”

A vortex appeared in Lu Zhou’s palm. A grand-sized Great Seal of Fearlessness that was much larger compared to the Four Divine Monks’ shot toward them.

Boom!

The four-in-one Golden Arhat Body shattered upon contact with the Great Seal of Fearlessness, causing Primal Qi to spill out into the surroundings.

As soon as the grand-sized Great Seal of Fearlessness destroyed the Golden Arhat Body, Kong Wen, Kong Jue, Kong Zhi, and Kong Zhang spat out blood and were sent flying back.

Lu Zhou wondered, ‘Can I take them down with a single strike?’ If he could, it would be a great win for him. He stared at the direction where the Great Seal of Fearlessness was heading.

Kong Wen, Kong Jue, Kong Zhi, and Kong Zhang were reeling in different directions…

Suddenly, the Great Seal of Fearlessness shot toward Kong Wen. The giant palm print resembled the hand of Buddha that had caught a monkey.

Dong!

There was a loud toll in the air that disappeared as soon as it appeared.

“Ding! Killed a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm target. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”

Kong Jue, Kong Zhi, and Kong Zhang fell to the ground with a thud.

Lu Zhou shook his head. He did not seem to be satisfied with the Deadly Strike Card’s performance. It was clear that the Deadly Strike Card could only take down a single target. Although it would destroy any energy that stood in its way, it did not have a killing effect on anything that was not its target. The Deadly Strike Card was an apt name for it. There was a reason it was called Deadly Strike and not Deadly Strikes Card.

The monks from the Temple of Great Emptiness were dumbstruck. They stared at the Four Divine Monks who were sent flying. No, wait… It seemed like Kong Wen had died…

From the beginning to the end, Lu Zhou had merely unleashed two skills. He used one defensive skill, the Golden Buddha Body, and one offensive skill, the Great Seal of Fearlessness.

The disciples of the Heaven Choice Temple stared at Lu Zhou with their mouths agape.

Little Yuan’er was used to this and did not seem surprised.

Zhao Yue and the female cultivators could only see flashes of golden light from inside the Hall of Great Strength. They were not able to see the actual battle.

Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, had never witnessed such a scene before. He stood riveted to the ground, in awe. He could not believe what he had just seen.

“Duanmu Sheng, Mingshi Yin…” Lu Zhou said in a deep voice.

“Yes, master.”

Duanmu Sheng leaped over from the side with the Overlord Spear in his hand.

Bam!

Mingshi Yin emerged from the ground where he had disappeared into earlier. He said respectfully, “Yes, master.”

Lu Zhou glanced at Mingshi Yin. As far as he knew, there was no tunneling technique in the Bluewood Heart Technique. ‘When did this rascal learn it?’ However, this was not the time to be thinking about this matter. He said, “I’ll leave these three to you.”

“Yes, master!”

At this moment, Kong Jue, Kong Zhi, and Kong Zhang were frowning. The three of them were only injured by backlash from the shattered Golden Arhat Body. The Great Seal of Fearlessness did not affect them. The three of them slammed their palms on the ground and stood up straight.

Kong Jue coughed as he bowed and said, “Wait!”

“We won’t!” Mingshi Yin who had been suppressed a moment ago was burning with fury and resentment. He exchanged a glance with Duanmu Sheng before both of them pounced forward like famished wolves.

The flying chariot in the skies saw it had become disadvantageous and did not hesitate to turn tail and leave! In just a moment, it vanished into the horizons!

The 20 monks on the ground were ghastly pale. They were like a plate of loose sand.

When Kong Wen was still around, Duanmu Sheng and Mingshi Yin could still somewhat stand their ground. Now that Kong Wen was dead, they could surely do better!

Both sides fought fiercely again.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou shifted his focus from the battlefield and called out, “Little Yuan’er, Zhao Yue.”

“Yes, master.” The two disciples stepped forward.

“Clean this up.”

“Yes, master!” Zhao Yue bowed.

At this moment, Zhu Honggong, Old Eighth, finally regained his senses. He hastily made a big show out of his loyalty. “Master, master… What about me? I’m sure that I, Old Eighth, will be able to unleash my amazing strength and help lighten your burden!”

Little Yuan’er bared her canine teeth as she pointed at the monks who were chanting the Great Compassion Mantra moments ago and said, “I’ve had enough of the lot of you! I’ll give you the beating of a lifetime!”

Little Yuan’er and Zhao Yue had no problems dealing with these monks.

Lu Zhou looked at the injured Xu Liao and Xu Fan. He asked indifferently, “Why did you attack me?”

The two of them were trembling at his moment.

Meanwhile, Xu Jing was in shock. He did not expect the three remaining monks with the Xu generational name in the Heaven Choice Temple would launch a sneak attack on the world’s greatest villain. He coughed violently and spat out blood, unable to accept this. “Why?”

“You can stop pretending to be so righteous! Xu Jing, you’d rather give the sable magnolia to the villain than to give to us… And you have the audacity to ask us why?” Xu Liao said with a sneer. Although he was afraid, there was no point pretending at this moment.

Xu Jing said exasperatedly, “You evil creatures! How can you fall for the Temple of Great Emptiness’ lies?” If he had not hidden his injuries from everyone, these two would have acted against him long ago. They would not have waited until this moment.
