The gazes of thousands of cultivators were all focused on Lu Zhou alone.
The powerful masters were all trying to sense the vital energy fluctuations from Lu Zhou, wanting to uncover the truth.
The result was lifeless, without any aura, just like an ordinary person.
Luo Changfeng's Celestial Sword Flash began to gather power... beams of sword light converged together.
"Master..." Little Yuan'er showed a look of concern.
The other three Great Villains weren't as nervous as Little Nine, instead watching with interest.
The fourth disciple, Ming Shiyin, said: "Don't worry, Master wouldn't just send himself to death for nothing."
Perhaps Master really has some trump card he hasn't used yet. Let these people test it out.
Little Yuan'er knew the intentions of her senior brothers and sisters, which could be seen from their unguarded expressions.
But...
Master is facing the strongest move of the Celestial Sword Sect, even a peak Primordial Spirit Tribulation Realm expert wouldn't dare to say they could withstand it completely, right? It's clearly Luo Changfeng's trap.
Lu Zhou remained calm... calm...
Outwardly as steady as an old dog, but inwardly panicking.
He kept his eyes on the item cards on the panel, the Peak Trial Card and Fatal Block.
At the same time, he was alert to all directions.
If necessary, he must use the Peak Trial Card.
He also realized that the suspicion of the Four Great Villains was growing.
Theft is never good, try looking at [ pawread.com ].
[Ding, side quest triggered, "People's hearts are unpredictable, reveal the true faces of the villains."]
Seeing the quest appear, Lu Zhou felt a slight stir in his heart.
Truly beset on all sides!
Being a master is truly frustrating!
***
At this moment, Luo Changfeng's Celestial Sword Flash completed its power gathering.
"Prepare to die!"
Whoosh, whoosh whoosh...
The vortex-like sword edge shot towards Lu Zhou.
The swirling vigorous qi wind forced thousands of cultivators to squint their eyes. Their vision was obscured.
"Master, dodge quickly!" Little Yuan'er exclaimed in shock.
Duanmu Sheng, Ming Shiyin, and Zhao Yue also widened their eyes, showing concern.
Even if Master wasn't injured, forcibly taking this move would be difficult... why do it?
"Old man, you can't die!" Ming Shiyin and Zhao Yue, Duanmu Sheng exchanged a glance, frowning, and Duanmu Sheng instinctively shouted.
If he dies.
Those cultivation techniques and weapons will disappear with him.
Whoosh!
Duanmu Sheng and Zhao Yue flashed forward.
Just as the hundreds of sword edges were about to reach.
The third disciple and fifth disciple stirred up huge waves.
One towards Master, one towards Luo Changfeng's sword edge.
"Hmm?"
Lu Zhou frowned slightly.
Villains are villains, afraid I'll die and take the treasures to the grave?
Truly a lapse in vigilance!
"Master... retreat!"
Duanmu Sheng exerted all his strength, the vigorous wind he stirred up deflected the sword edge slightly, directing it towards the barrier of Jinting Mountain.
Even so, the aftermath still made Lu Zhou somewhat uncomfortable.
Lu Zhou immediately turned around, pretending to flee back to the barrier in a sorry state.
The energy of the fifth disciple Zhao Yue was meant to save Master, but upon entering the barrier, it also struck the barrier.
Boom!
Boom!
The invisible barrier in mid-air burst open like fireworks.
Creak, creak...
Cracks appeared.
The barrier of Jinting Mountain showed signs of breaking, probably won't hold for long.
The surroundings quieted down.
Vision restored.
Lu Zhou slightly raised his hand, glanced at the barrier, and sighed inwardly.
Fatal Block still had 5 uses left, it wasn't triggered, which meant there was no attack just now that threatened him.
But these villains really ruined things!
"I knew this old demon Ji was pretending, he ran so fast just now!"
"I saw it too, truly disgraceful!"
"Who would've thought the mighty old demon Ji would fall to such a state."
The thousands of cultivators felt even more confident.
Luo Changfeng hovered forward, looking down and said, "Is this your method? Truly an eye-opener."
Anyway, for the righteous cultivators, whether these demons played tricks or not was meaningless.
A missed strike was no big deal.
"Luo Changfeng, you really have no shame. You wanted my Master to stand still and take your full-force strike? Do you think we're all fools?" The fifth disciple Zhao Yue mocked with a smile.
"Zhao Yue, I was sparring with your Master, he didn't say anything, yet you all suddenly intervened! Haha... it seems your Demon Patriarch's status isn't what it used to be." Luo Changfeng said.
"Who would've thought the old demon Ji would need a few disciples to protect him, truly a rare sight."
Lu Zhou didn't pay attention to their words.
Just some mocking trash talk.
A waste of time.
And completely meaningless.
He glanced at the Peak Trial Card again.
Three cards, one and a half hours.
Which means, once used, he must fight quickly.
The fourth disciple Ming Shiyin saw Master's expression and cupped his hands, "Master, why waste words with them... Your divine might is unparalleled, as long as you hold off the Ten Great Masters, the rest are just small fry, leave them to us four to handle, wouldn't that be perfect?"
Lu Zhou frowned slightly, speaking in a deep voice:"Are you doubting your Master's decision?"
"Disciple wouldn't dare!"
Lu Zhou now deeply understood the meaning of "pacify internal troubles before dealing with external threats."
If these villains aren't made to behave, the future won't be smooth.
The Peak Trial Card has limited time, once it ends, he'll be in crisis again.
"Duanmu Sheng!"
"Disciple is here."
"You are bold!" Lu Zhou's voice involuntarily rose.
"Ah?"
"Who allowed you to meddle in your Master's affairs?"
Duanmu Sheng's face changed slightly, he hurried forward, knelt on the ground and said, "Disciple knows his mistake, disciple was worried about Master's safety. Luo Changfeng, that old thief, is deliberately luring you into a trap! Please don't fall for it!"
Many things were already out in the open, just a thin layer of paper away. For the past month, Ji Tiandao had been struggling to maintain appearances. But these disciples weren't fools, some details had long aroused their suspicions.
Lu Zhou had transmigrated here, not Ji Tiandao himself, no matter how hard he tried to imitate, he couldn't capture Ji Tiandao's essence in speech and mannerisms.
At this point, these villains already understood that Master was just holding on. Since it's just holding on, there's no need to keep up the act.
Ming Shiyin didn't pretend to be afraid like Duanmu Sheng.
With a sinister smile on his face,"Master, why bother, you've acted enough."
"Hmm?"
"Third Senior Brother, get up..." Ming Shiyin's attitude shifted.
The respectful look on Duanmu Sheng's face disappeared, he slowly stood up.
The fifth disciple Zhao Yue giggled and said, "Master, give up... as long as you pass on the cultivation techniques and weapons to us, today we will definitely do our best to take you away, you will always be our Master."
Little Yuan'er widened her eyes and said, "Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, what are you..."
Opposite.
Luo Changfeng saw the demons fighting among themselves and laughed heartily.
"Truly, heaven's sins can be forgiven, self-inflicted sins cannot!"
"With such villains, you should've been prepared for this."
"The departure of the five villains is the best example... I think, we righteous sects don't even need to act, this old demon won't have a good end."
The Ten Great Masters exchanged glances, chatting and laughing.
