Chapter 114: Turning Points
The next moment, several powerful figures made their move, urging their weapons to unleash terrifying beams of light that tore apart Lu Zhao's magic array.
Then the group rushed out and charged towards Lu Zhao.
These individuals are all extremely powerful, further enhanced by the weapons they wield.
Even among powerful beings, these guys would rank among the top.
"You're quite capable, buddy. We were thinking of dealing with those guys and then using you to collect the bounty, but you really lived up to expectations and took care of them ahead of time," a powerful figure said, a cold glint in his eyes.
"As expected of a great power, my methods are indeed still very immature and cannot harm you at all," Lu Zhao said with a smile, shaking his head.
"Since you've already surrendered, then just wait to be suppressed by us." A powerful figure spoke, extending a large hand to suppress them.
The terrifying power spread, causing the mountains here to roar.
Lu Zhao did not resist at first, as if he had completely resigned himself to his fate, and waited for the other party's large hand to fall before suddenly launching an attack.
At the same time, dozens of green fragments burst forth from Lu Zhao's body.
These are all heirloom sacred bell lock pieces, each containing immense power.
Lu Zhao suddenly released the fragments, intending to use these fragments of the Holy Bell to suppress these powerful beings and prevent them from escaping.
Then a flame shot out from the black gourd, turning into a seven-colored pillar of fire that spread outwards.
The terrifying flames surged, nearly engulfing the entire mountain range.
Before the giant hand could even land, it was engulfed by the seven-colored flames.
Then Lu Zhao acted, urging the flow of the seven-colored flames to instantly envelop the others, preparing to annihilate them with the seven-colored flames.
As expected, the attack was very sudden, and the powerful figures were instantly enveloped.
Then came screams, foreshadowing the fate of the powerful figures.
The whole process was completed in one go, without the slightest mishap.
The seven-colored flames quickly died down, leaving only a pile of ashes.
After completely dealing with these powerful figures, Lu Zhao finally felt relieved. Without these trump cards, he really wouldn't have dared to run around like this.
Just as Lu Zhao was about to set off and collect the spoils from these people.
Suddenly, he sensed a special Dao principle, and he was very familiar with it, as it belonged to one of the powerful figures who had just made their move.
Clearly, some people are still alive, and have lived to this point.
Lu Zhao immediately turned around and looked in the direction of the Dao.
On the vast horizon, a dark figure was seen rapidly approaching; it was the powerful figure who had just made his move, and this person was not dead.
Clearly, he had just sent out a deity to take all the danger for him.
"Well done, Lu Zhao. You really have a lot of trump cards up your sleeve. You've managed to wipe out so many powerful figures. If I hadn't been so careful, I would have really fallen into your hands this time." The man said, but his movements were not slow at all.
Various secret techniques poured down, almost overwhelming Lu Zhao.
Having learned from his previous experience, he dared not get too close to Lu Zhao and could only use his methods from a distance, preparing to suppress Lu Zhao first.
As a result, Lu Zhao was too fast, giving him no chance at all.
Finally, the man's expression turned cold, and he activated the remaining four deities, which transformed into four streams of light and surrounded Lu Zhao.
The four divine beings transformed into four streams of light, surrounding the area from four directions.
The speed of the deity is too fast, and it contains the consciousness of this person. If it is manipulated in this way, it is no weaker than an ordinary great power.
The four gods surrounding Lu Zhao indeed put Lu Zhao under tremendous pressure.
Even with his ability to shift the stars, he was still constantly in danger.
Lu Zhao did not use his trump cards, which made this powerful figure very helpless. He even kept thinking about how to force out Lu Zhao's remaining trump cards and then completely suppress him.
At this moment, in the mountains, Lu Zhao was still entangled with those gods.
The remaining Dao principles within the mountains also became a great supplement for Lu Zhao's cultivation.
Before they died, those people used all sorts of terrifying methods, and the Daoist aura still lingers to this day, not completely dissipated.
Lu Zhao used the Dao principles within the mountains to continuously improve his cultivation level.
Engage with these gods, preparing to unleash flames to annihilate them.
He quickly seized an opportunity, using the fragments of the Holy Bell to entangle a deity, and then ignited the flames within the Immortal-Slaying Gourd.
But when the Immortal-Slaying Gourd shook, it only spewed out a wisp of flame.
This wisp of flame enveloped a deity, preparing to utterly annihilate it.
After all, with each deity destroyed, the opponent's consciousness diminishes by a fraction, and the deity's death can even cause the destroyer to suffer a backlash.
However, there were too few of these flames, and they were insufficient to cause enough damage.
The flames that had been burning the god gradually died out, and the remaining half of the god was successfully preserved.
The man had initially thought he was going to lose a god, but then this happened.
This made the man's eyes light up, realizing that Lu Zhao had run out of tricks.
"Haha, without the seven-colored flames, let's see what you can use to stop me." The powerful being burst into laughter.
At the same time, he reached out a large hand and grabbed at Lu Zhao.
With Lu Zhao out of his trump cards, he naturally had nothing to worry about.
As he extended that giant hand, his divine beings also began to move, activating various weapons to entangle the fragments of the Holy Bell.
"Baby, please turn around." Lu Zhao suddenly shouted.
The Immortal-Slaying Gourd shot into the sky in an instant, and the gourd stopper flew up silently.
Then, from the mouth of the gourd, a terrifying sword aura shot out, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, instantly engulfing a large area.
Upon seeing this sword energy, the great man instantly froze.
His face had lost all color, showing only the terror of seeing death.
Over the years, while he was cultivating alone, he had witnessed countless life-or-death crises, but he survived them all.
This was the only crisis he felt he was going to die.
At that moment, he truly began to regret why he had been blinded by greed.
If he hadn't gotten involved, he wouldn't have died here.
"I hate—" the powerful being roared before his death.
Before he could even roar, the terrifying sword light had already struck down, instantly engulfing the powerful figure and turning him into ashes.
Under the terrifying power of the Immortal-Slaying Calabash Island, he didn't even leave a trace.
After dealing with these people, Lu Zhao immediately sat down cross-legged and began to comprehend the Dao principles here. The Dao principles here were too vast.
There were nearly fifty half-step great powerhouses, which was already quite terrifying.
Aside from their own Dao principles, there are also the methods they employ. Many of these methods are derived from other sources, and while their Dao principles differ from their own, they are all useful to Lu Zhao.
Having these special methods is equivalent to increasing the number of Dao principles.
That's why Lu Zhao likes to fight others.
When fighting with others, various principles of the Dao will be mobilized.
During the following period, Lu Zhao remained in the mountains, constantly studying the principles of the Dao and improving his strength.
As for the Yin-Yang Sect, many powerful figures learned the specifics.
These people, filled with murderous intent, pursued the Qinling Mountains.
However, after these people left, Hua Yunfei also began to take action. He infiltrated the Yin-Yang Sect's ancestral tomb and began searching for those royal bodies.
Sure enough, he found the bodies of several kings in some new tombs.
The primordial essence remaining in the corpse was Hua Yunfei's best tonic.
"This Fellow Daoist Lu has helped me many times. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had the chance to come here," Hua Yunfei said.
Li Xiaoman sat cross-legged not far from Hua Yunfei, with golden vortexes still shimmering in her eyes.
"You should still be careful. No one is kind to you for no reason. If he's doing this to you, he must have ulterior motives," Li Xiaoman calmly reminded him.
"What could he possibly want from me if he's not after my life?" Hua Yunfei said.
"That's hard to say," Li Xiaoman said, shaking her head.
"Leaving aside these speculations, the last time we encountered Ye Fan, we fought a fierce battle. This guy's growth rate is indeed terrifying. If I hadn't mastered the Secret of the Art of War, we would have definitely suffered a great defeat in this battle," Hua Yunfei said.
"That's already pretty good. At least this time, your actions have seriously injured Ye Fan, and that guy has completely disappeared. We don't know where he's hiding now." Li Xiaoman shook her head.
"The Holy Body is indeed terrifying, but I've almost reached the hundredth level of absorbing the essence of the body. After reaching the hundredth level, there will be a major improvement. I hope I can give Ye Fan a surprise next time I see him," Hua Yunfei said with a smile.
He found a way, just like Duan De, to excavate the buried royal bodies in the ancestral tombs of various religious sects.
Because nine out of ten royal bodies in Zhongzhou were accepted as disciples by various religious sects.
Instead of aimlessly searching in the Qinling Mountains, it would be better to enter the cemeteries of various religious sects and absorb the essence from these corpses.
At this moment, in the Qinling Mountains, Lu Zhao had already finished his comprehension.
His gains this time were not small either, as he comprehended the Dao principles of those half-step Great Powers.
This greatly improved his strength, bringing him close to the ninth level of the Dragon Transformation Realm.
Now that the Yin-Yang Sect has entered the Qinling Mountains, they must be heading towards him. Therefore, he plans to defeat them one by one in the coming days.
The primary method is still to use the special killing formation here.
After entering the Qinling Mountains, the Yin-Yang Sect began searching throughout the region.
However, after searching for a long time, they still could not find Lu Zhao, because the Qinling Mountains were too vast and no one knew where Lu Zhao was.
They didn't even see one of the cultivators who were besieging Lu Zhao.
This made them wonder if something was wrong.
However, not long afterward, someone spotted a shadow moving incredibly fast, flashing past in the distance.
"It's definitely Lu Zhao! That guy is still alive! He must still be deep in the Qinling Mountains!" a half-step Great Power shouted.
So these people all turned into streaks of light and chased after the direction Lu Zhao had flashed.
They were moving too fast, and their worries had greatly diminished.
After all, with so many rogue cultivators chasing after him, even if Lu Zhao had other methods, they would be exhausted in such a long chase.
The Yin-Yang Sect is not foolish; it will not easily give away its treasures to others.
Because they themselves didn't know how many trump cards Lu Zhao was still hiding.
If they relied entirely on themselves, they would have to use up countless elders, so they came up with this plan after discussing it.
Whether successful or not, it will be of great benefit to the Yin-Yang Sect.
If they succeed, the Yin-Yang Sect will be rid of a major threat; if they fail, they can deplete Lu Zhao's trump cards, at which point they can take action themselves.
"He's right there," a powerful figure from the Yin-Yang Sect shouted.
"Quickly find a way to intercept him. This time we must suppress him and then bring him back to the sect to be slowly tormented." A half-step Great Power gritted his teeth.
Lu Zhao moved very fast, constantly traversing the Qinling Mountains.
He then lured the Yin-Yang Sect members to disperse, intending to deal with them one by one.
He soon discovered the lone individual, a near-powerful being who had separated from the others to investigate, preparing to ambush him together.
"Then you can start first." Lu Zhao charged towards the man.
