Luke sneered and said, "You dare to show off your petty tricks in front of me?"
Having said that, he suddenly leaped up, pouncing on Wang Ai like a tiger descending a mountain. Wang Ai was shocked and hastily summoned back the tiger, trying to defend against Luke's attack.
However, Luke was too fast, and he didn't have time to react before Luke punched him in the chest.
To shoot a man, shoot his horse first; to capture a thief, capture his king first. If this tiger is scattered, who knows what strange things Wang Ai will summon next? Let's subdue this old bastard Wang Ai first.
"boom!"
With a deafening crash, Wang Ai was sent flying again, this time smashing through the crumbling wall and flying straight out of the house. The tiger also vanished in mid-air, turning into a wisp of green smoke.
Lu Ci was shocked to see this. He hadn't expected Luke to be so powerful; even Wang Ai, who had used his divine magic, couldn't withstand his attack.
If I don't take action soon, I'm afraid I'll end up like Wang Ai.
However, he was not like Wang Ai. Shen Tu was not good at close combat and lost his advantage when someone got close. His own Ruyi Jin was not a technique that was useless when someone got close. He was good at both ranged attacks and close combat.
So he took a deep breath, and the purple energy condensed again, as if he were enveloped in a layer of purple mist.
He roared and pounced on Luke like a tiger descending a mountain, his fists whistling through the air, carrying boundless killing intent.
Although Lu Ci's fist was directly in front of Luke, Luke could already sense Lu Ci's power coming from all directions.
That's the power of Ruyi Jin. It seems to be right in front of you, but it can always attack your opponent from an unbelievable angle.
"It's a bit interesting."
Luke's lips curled up, but he raised his hand and brought it to his waist, which was the starting stance of the Heaven-Covering Palm.
"Sky-Covering Palm".
Countless golden palm shadows appeared, neutralizing the omnipresent Ruyi Force. After that, the palm shadows merged into one, transforming into a huge golden palm print that swept towards Lü Ci.
Veins throbbed on Lü Ci's forehead as he dodged with a speed unbecoming of his age, unleashing a burst of purple energy in a two-pronged attack to block Luke's unparalleled palm strike.
The essence of the Sky-Covering Palm lies in the phrase "covering the sky and obscuring the sun." When a palm strike is unleashed, the power is immense and overwhelming, leaving the enemy with no way to dodge or escape, and they can only withstand it head-on.
Of course, the extent to which one can achieve this depends on their individual cultivation.
Luke didn't use all his strength in this palm strike, but he still used about 70-80%. Strictly speaking, Luke's life cultivation was similar to Lü Ci's, but he was far inferior in talent. Lü Ci had to exert a lot of effort to get past this palm strike. His chest heaved violently as he gasped for breath, and a huge palm print appeared where he had been standing.
"You run pretty fast, but can you even keep up?"
Luke lunged forward and engaged Lü Ci in close combat.
Luke and Lü Ci clashed fists and feet, each strike carrying immense power capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, as if they were about to tear the world apart.
Luke's punches were like a storm, relentless and impenetrable, while Lü Ci, relying on the agility of his Ruyi Jing, constantly moved among Luke's punches, looking for an opportunity to counterattack.
However, Lü Ci's Ruyi Force was exceptionally insidious, and it quietly seeped into Luke's body, attempting to attack his internal organs. Luke felt a chill rise from within him, knowing something was wrong, but he remained calm.
His cultivation level was high enough that his innate Qi surged within him, instantly expelling the chill from his body.
"Hmph, you dare to show off your petty tricks in front of me?"
Luke snorted coldly, his attacks becoming even more ferocious. His figure was like a ghost, sometimes to the left, sometimes to the right, sometimes in front, sometimes behind, making it difficult for Lü Ci to predict.
Who says those who practice external martial arts can only engage in head-on collisions? Luke's movement skills are also very fast.
Seeing that the Ruyi Force was ineffective against Luke, Lü Ci felt a chill run down his spine. He knew he had to go all out, or things might not end well today.
So he took another deep breath, condensing his purple energy to its peak, and his whole being seemed to transform into a purple storm, sweeping towards Luke.
Luke, however, was not afraid at all. He charged forward, and his fist collided with the purple storm, producing a deafening roar.
In an instant, sand and stones flew everywhere, and the sky and earth changed color. This earth-shattering battle had reached a fever pitch.
The commotion was so great that it naturally alerted many people, including Xu San, Xu Si, and Feng Baobao, who knew that Zhang Chulan had been taken away.
However, by the time the three of them arrived, the Old Master and Lu Jin had already arrived.
The old celestial master did not intervene immediately. He even stopped Lu Jin, who was about to go up, stroked his beard, and said with a smile.
"Old Lu, don't worry, Luke might not necessarily lose. In my opinion, Lü Ci might not be able to beat Luke."
In other words, a hundred years of cultivation had made the old master's mind strong. Although he was shocked by Luke's strength, he was not so shocked as to lose his composure.
Luke's strength does not pose a threat to the Old Master, at least not in terms of the strength he has shown so far.
But there is only one Zhang Zhiwei in this world, a unique Zhang Zhiwei, and no one can pose a threat to him.
Even with Zhang Zhiwei's century-long cultivation, unparalleled in the world, he had to admit that Luke was far stronger than him at the same age.
"Old Lu, young Luke's palm technique is quite interesting. Did you teach him?"
Lu Jin shook his head and said, "I don't see this child often. This palm technique could have been taught to him by his good-for-nothing father, or it could have been something else he had."
After being reminded by the old master, Lu Jin's anxious and confused mind finally calmed down. He saw Luke pressing down on Lü Cida, and even though he was over a hundred years old, he still couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
Lu Ci and Lu Jin have been at odds since childhood. Lu Ci dislikes Lu Jin, thinking that he is pretentious and hypocritical all the time.
Lu Jin felt that Lü Ci was too ruthless, biting anyone he saw. Lü Ci was better when his older brother Lü Ren was around; at least Lü Ci listened to his older brother and someone could keep him in check.
But ever since Lü Ren was beheaded by the demonic sword of Bi He Ren on the battlefield of the War of Resistance against Japan, Lü Ci has gone completely mad. He is ruthless and merciless in his actions, which makes Lu Jin even more disgusted with him.
Seeing his juniors dominating Lü Cida, Lu Jin couldn't be happier.
Firstly, because their own family has produced many talented individuals and has successors; secondly, because their younger generation is able to overpower Lü Ci, so that Lu Jin will feel superior to Lü Ci whenever they meet in the future.
Feeling refreshed and invigorated, truly refreshed and invigorated!
Chapter 50: One Person's Story: The Old Celestial Master Watches the Battle, and Lu Jin is Shocked
"call!"
Xu Si took a deep drag and smoked the cigarette out of his mouth, the smoke almost completely obscuring his face.
"Goodness, this is troublesome. With him around, Zhang Chulan has no chance of winning."
Why did they come to participate in the Luo Tian Grand Ritual?
It's all for Zhang Chulan to obtain the right to inherit the Celestial Master title, thereby obtaining clues about Feng Baobao's background.
But with Luke, the monster who overwhelmed the Ten Elders, around, how could Zhang Chulan possibly win?
Feng Baobao's mood unusually low, but her eyes quickly lit up, and she whispered mischievously.
“I’ve got it! Zhang Chulan can’t beat him, but I can keep him occupied! Although this kid is really fierce and I can’t handle him, I can keep him occupied for a while. As long as he can’t get past me, Zhang Chulan will win, right? Although I can’t beat him, keeping him occupied is still possible. I won’t die.”
Xu Si's eyes lit up, and he whispered, "That's a good idea; it can be used as a backup plan."
This kind of plan should only be used as a last resort; we can't just unleash our full potential from the start. As for other plans, let's brainstorm together!
"No."
However, Xu San rejected the plan outright.
Xu Si looked at Xu San with dissatisfaction and said, "Hey, Xu San, what do you mean by this? I finally came up with a reliable idea, and now you're saying it won't work?"
In Xu Si's view, compared to the intermittent bouts of his previous witty outbursts, Feng Baobao's idea was much more reliable and had a high chance of success.
Xu San adjusted his glasses and said in a deep voice, "This plan won't work. Let alone whether Bao Bao can hold off Luke, even if he can, have you forgotten Bao Bao's special nature? This cannot be taken lightly."
The main reason is that Xu San couldn't bear to see Feng Baobao get hurt, even though Feng Baobao wasn't afraid of getting hurt at all.
Xu Si stroked the stubble on his chin and said thoughtfully, "What you said makes sense! Since the baby's situation can't be exposed, we can only ask Zhang Chulan to make do and have Luke become his godfather."
Zhang Chulan, who was watching the battle from a distance, was engrossed in the fight that was beyond his imagination when he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The feeling came and went quickly, but he never expected that Xu Si had already arranged everything for him.
Suddenly, Zhang Chulan caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of his eye and quickly turned his head to look. He saw that old codger Wang Ai had already stood up with the help of Lü Ci's great-grandson, Lü Gong, who had just used the Soul-Brightening Technique on him. Although he looked disheveled, the sinister light flashing in his small eyes still sent chills down one's spine.
The old man actually cut his own palm and began to smear something on a piece of white cloth that he had found from somewhere, emanating a chilling aura.
Zhang Chulan couldn't understand, but that didn't mean Lu Jin couldn't. Lu Jin's expression suddenly changed.
"Old man, he's even brought out his best tricks."
They have known each other for over a hundred years. Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, and for a long time after its founding, the Lu, Lü, Wang, and Gao families were closely connected and belonged to the alliance of families in the world of supernatural beings. Lu Jin was well aware of some of the Wang family's methods. Even within the Wang family, the methods used by Wang Ai were secret techniques that could only be used as a last resort.
The Wang family's divine scrolls need to be prepared in advance, but the scrolls will eventually run out. If the enemy cannot be defeated after the scrolls are used up, the family will be in danger.
To prevent this from happening, the Wang family ancestors developed a secret technique. In critical moments, drawing with blood can unleash tremendous power, but using this technique inevitably results in a significant loss of vital energy.
But Wang Ai was clearly out of his mind. At over a hundred years old, he had been repeatedly humiliated by a young man. If he didn't get his revenge, he, as the tenth elder, would never have the face to show his face in public again.
Lu Jin has always been upright and incorruptible. He can't stand bullying the weak or the powerful, especially when the victim is a junior member of his own family.
However, just as Lu Jin was about to make a move, he was stopped by the Old Master.
"Old Lu, what's the rush? Just watch for a while longer."
Lu Jin glared at him, his hair and beard bristling, and said, "Old man, so you're not worried because he's not one of your Longhu Mountain people? I don't believe you don't know what Wang Ai is capable of. Lu Ci alone is enough for Lu Ke to handle, and if Wang Ai is added to the mix, it will be disastrous. If we don't take action now, it will be too late."
The old master glanced at Lu Jin and laughed, "Hehe, I told you your eyesight is bad. Listen to me, you'll see soon enough that this little Luke hasn't even used his full strength yet!"
As they spoke, Wang Ai finished his blood painting. He activated it with his Qi, and a large, blood-red python sprang out of the painting and coiled around Luke, who was fighting with Lü Ci.
"Get back!"
During the battle, Luke was always able to see in all directions and hear in all directions. Of course, he noticed Wang Ai's movements. After forcing Lü Ci back with a palm strike, he turned around and struck the blood python with a palm strike.
When the Sky-Covering Palm was unleashed at full power, it caused the clouds in the sky to fall, and the sky darkened. The Blood Python was sent flying back by this palm strike, and Wang Ai had to use almost all his strength to keep the Blood Python from dissipating.
The blood python twisted and writhed in the air, letting out a mournful roar, before finally falling helplessly to the ground and turning into a pool of blood.
Wang Ai's face was pale, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, clearly indicating that this attack had greatly exhausted him.
Luke did not press his advantage, but instead looked coldly at Wang Ai, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
His current opponent is Lü Ci, while Wang Ai, who was eliminated from the competition long ago, is not worth his time.
Although Luke is warlike, he's not stupid. He can win against two opponents, but it will take a lot of effort, and he might even get injured.
That's why when he kicked down the door, he deliberately placed Wang Bing in a position where Wang Ai could see him, and used verbal insults to provoke Wang Ai into attacking him first, so that he could incapacitate most of Wang Ai's fighting ability in the first instance.
Because he was unsure whether Lü Ci would make a move, he could only devise a strategy targeting Wang Ai first, so that even if Lü Ci did make a move, he could handle it with ease.
Things proceeded as he had planned. Wang Ai was indeed enraged by Wang Bing's miserable appearance and attacked him first. His prepared Heaven-Covering Palm technique came in handy.
Luke then delivered another blow, ensuring that even if Wang Ai was able to fight, she posed no threat to him.
