Chapter 1103: Zhu Honggong Displays His Might
When the life heart was in midair, the sunlight refracted off it. The refracted light that was the color of a rainbow fell on the sea, forming a sharp contrast with the dark red seawater.
The cultivators who were watching could not help but sigh in admiration and awe.
Lu Zhou received a notification as soon as the life heart flew into his hand.
“Ding! Obtained the Nether Wolf King’s life heart. Ability: night vision; endurance.”
“Not bad.”
When Lu Zhou wanted to put the life heart into his pocket, he finally realized he was shirtless. His robes had long been destroyed during his ti in the valley. He shook his head helplessly.
One should never reveal one’s wealth. If he held the life heart so openly, it would definitely stir up ill intentions in so people. He could not afford to unleash his strength all the ti.
At this mont, from a treetop thousands of ters away, a cultivator transmitted his voice over. “Senior, be careful!”
Lu Zhou had already sensed the strange movents in the sea. He looked down and saw the huge waves. Clearly, sothing was rushing over in the sea.
At this ti, several cultivators rushed over and ca to a stop dozens of ters away from Lu Zhou. They looked down at the sea and saw shadows under the surface of the sea.
Lu Zhou raised an eyebrow. “How did you know the sea beasts were coming?”
“Currently, many places in Great Tang are experiencing beast tides. Most cultivators are gathered in various cities to defend them.”
“Why did so many fierce beasts attack for no reason?” Lu Zhou was puzzled.
Those cultivators shook their heads.
“All of you retreat and defend the cities,” Lu Zhou said calmly.
“Understood.”
The cultivators bowed. They were about to leave when the sound of fighting further out at sea entered their ears. When they looked in the direction of the commotion, they saw a golden avatar flying above the sea in the distance, sending the countless leaping sea beasts flying. The avatar’s strength was astonishing.
“Another golden avatar?”
The cultivators looked at the approaching golden avatar in shock.
Lu Zhou was puzzled as well; when did such an expert appear in the golden lotus domain? Only a few people dared to co to the red lotus domain or go to the Endless Ocean, let alone fight with fierce sea beasts.
Splash!
The waves surged to the sky.
The avatar flew higher up into the sky as well, revealing a golden halo at its back that illuminated the sky.
When Lu Zhou saw the golden halo, he first thought it was Yu Shangrong. However, he soon discovered sothing while the golden halo spun and the eleven leaves shot out in all directions, killing the sea beasts leaping out of the sea.
Lu Zhou saw a figure waving his fists around, knocking down sea beasts.
As the figure drew closer, the sound of laughter rang clearly in the air followed by the figure saying, “If you’re still too green to eat soone like !”
“Old Eighth?”
…
Lu Li stood on Dang Kang’s back as Dang Kang dove from the sky. He said loudly, “Old Zhu, behind you!”
“Don’t worry! I will beat the shit out of it!”
The golden avatar turned around and punched a giant sea beast away. It exploded imdiately.
Zhu Honggong laughed again. “What do you think? I’m ridiculously strong! When I return to the Evil Sky Pavilion, Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother won’t be able to bully anymore!”
For the most part, Zhu Honggong and Lu Li’s journey back was rather smooth. It was only over the last few days that the sea beasts began to appear. With that, they fought all the way back to the red lotus domain.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself. You only killed those ordinary sea beasts. Have you forgotten what a difficult ti we had avoiding the sea beast king? The beasts you killed can be easily dealt with by a Ten-leaf cultivator! The terrifying ones are Birth Chart Beasts and beast kings!”
Zhu Honggong smiled sheepishly before he said, “It doesn’t matter. The shore is just up ahead…”
“Sothing’s wrong; I can sense it. There’s sothing happening in the direction where we’re heading. I suspect it’s the mbers of the Black Tower Council moving together in a group,” Lu Li said.
Zhu Honggong asked, “Did they co to welco us? Old Lu, I didn’t know you have such a high status in the Black Tower Council!”
Lu Li shook his head and said, “It’s not high; I’m just an ordinary mber. However, the surging energy is strange. It might not even be the Black Tower Council…”
“What are you afraid of? I’m here to protect you.”
As soon as Zhu Honggong’s voice fell, the sea beasts in his surroundings rushed toward the shore.
Zhu Honggong was shocked. He withdrew his avatar and flew higher up. He looked down at the sea and asked, “What’s happening? These past few days have been strange!”
“As expected, it’s a beast tide. The sea beast king is headed that way as well,” Lu Li said.
“Perhaps, that’s the reason the mbers of the Black Tower Council are in a group? They’re probably here to stop the sea beasts, right? Zhu Honggong asked. Since Lu Li had taken on such a mission before, he thought his theory was right.
Lu Li shook his head and said, “Impossible. At this point, it’s too late to stop the sea beasts. Moreover, there are many experts in the Black Tower Council. If they really want to deal with this, sending one or two judges is enough. There’s no reason to send a group of people here…”
“What’s the point of thinking so much now? Let’s head to the shore first! I’m exhausted,” Zhu Honggong said as he leaped onto Dang Kang’s back.
…
The cultivators behind Lu Zhou stared at Zhu Honggong and Lu Li in a daze; they were at a loss for words. They felt they had learned a lot today.
…
At this ti, the duo was only 1,000 ters away from the shore.
“There are people up ahead.” Zhu Honggong saw the cultivators hovering in the sky.
“They must be here to stop the sea beasts…” Lu Li speculated. Based on their postures, it seems like they were here to stop the sea beasts.
Zhu Honggong said as he controlled Dang Kang to fly over, “Who cares? Look at that bare-chested guy! It’s obvious he’s just a low-level cultivator!”
All of a sudden, Dang Kang’s speed doubled without any warning. It was clearly very excited.
Zhu Honggong said in confusion, “Slow down, slow down!”
Dang Kang snorted. Its body seed to be thrumming with energy at this mont.
At this ti, they were only 500 ters away from the shore. Zhu Honggong tried to rein Dang Kang in. He sighed before he scolded, “Can you consider my pride and dignity? We’re already close to the shore…”
With these words, Dang Kang really slowed down.
The two parties looked at each other from afar.
Lu Zhou looked at Lu Li and Zhu Honggong carefully.
Ti passed really quickly. Zhu Honggong seed to have grown even fatter than before while Lu Li seed much calr than when they first t.
At the sa ti, the duo was also looking at Lu Zhou, scanning him from head to toe.
Lu Li had always been observant. He had seen the seawater that had been dyed red and the corpse floating in the sea. He exclaid in surprise, “The Nether Wolf King?”
Lu Li looked at the shirtless young man again; the young man looked very familiar, but he could not rember where he had seen the young man before. No matter how he racked his brains, he could not figure out who the young man was. Nevertheless, he was certain he must have t the young man before.
Zhu Honggong said loudly, “Hey, the sea beasts are coming! If you want to live, you better run. I don’t have the ti to save you.”
Lu Zhou said, “Wicked disciple, get down here!”
‘Wicked disciple? Get down? What’s this high-handed manner of speaking? However, this voice is rather familiar…’
Zhu Honggong said, slightly speechless at being called a wicked disciple, “I don’t have the ti to argue with you. Hey, you’re standing here without a shirt; do you think you’re the god of the sea?”
“Impudent!” Lu Zhou’s soundwave rolled out.
Shocked, Dang Kang threw Lu Li and Zhu Honggong off its back before it made a turn and dashed forward. Then, it grunted before it ca to a stop in front of Lu Zhou. It lowered its head before it prostrated itself while its tail wagged incessantly. It was clearly submitting itself to Lu Zhou.
Zhu Honggong. “???”
Lu Zhou nodded and patted Dang Kang’s head. Then, he turned to look at the surging sea. After a mont, he turned around and landed on the shore.
Dang Kang obediently followed Lu Zhou and sat at his side.
Lu Li looked at this scene in confusion. “Old Zhu, did your pig just… betray you?”
anwhile, Zhu Honggong had been frozen by that single word, ‘impudent’. That one word alone dragged up many unbearable mories from the past. He gulped. ‘No way…’
anwhile, Lu Zhou was calmly waiting for his eighth disciple to co down.
Zhu Honggong’s reaction was rather slow. After all, Lu Zhou’s sudden change in appearance was rather hard for people to accept.
