#2532 - It turns out that you really can't

The prodigies and kings among the various forces wore expressions of anticipation after their initial shock.

This Yuan Chu was so arrogant; they wondered how he would handle the situation.

At this moment, the expression of Bai Yishan, the Holy Son of the Azure Water Sect, was so dark it could drip water.

A person of low cultivation, who until a few days ago was just a rogue cultivator, dared to provoke him so brazenly.

Today, at this exchange meet, if he didn't teach him a severe lesson, where would his face be?

"Yuan Chu, you are asking for humiliation!"

Bai Yishan suppressed his anger, came to the lake surface, and said to Lou Bujue: "Friend Lou, you deal with him first, and after you're done, this Holy Son will teach him another lesson!"

"Since that's the case, then I'll go first!"

Lou Bujue had long been impatient and desperately wanted to trample this arrogant Yuan Chu under his feet.

In front of everyone, he wanted to thoroughly crush his dignity and make him understand just how vast the difference between them was.

To think he dared to be so arrogant just because he had the backing of Sky Melody Peak; it was simply a joke.

In the competition between peers, individual strength was what mattered; the strong from the sects wouldn't interfere.

Today, in front of the Holy Sons, Holy Daughters, and prodigy kings of the various forces, who would dare to forcefully intervene?

Even if the Heavenly King himself came, he couldn't protect this person today!

"Little Yuan Chu, you shall tremble before this Holy Son!"

Lou Bujue made his move, his aura soaring to the sky, immortal power surging, and he took a step forward forcefully.

Instantly, the lake water stirred up thousands of layers of waves.

Those lake waters soared into the sky and, in the air, were condensed by his immortal power into a seven-storied tower, like a great mountain, descending from the sky, suppressing Jun Wuxie.

Lou Bujue's posture was extremely domineering.

Throughout the entire process, he had his hands behind his back, only taking one step forward.

That power was already earth-shattering, changing the color of the wind and clouds.

Beneath his feet, a large area of the lake surface had turned into a huge vortex, like an abyss about to devour the heavens and the earth, a terrifying scene.

Inside the pavilion, Mu Xingzhou's pupils contracted, and the immortal power within his body was already circulating, ready to help at any time.

He knew that Yuan Chu had previously been just a rogue cultivator and had only just entered the sect, with too low a cultivation level.

With his cultivation, how could he possibly cope with Lou Bujue, who was at the Great Luo Immortal Monarch Realm?

He was being so high-profile today, seemingly deliberately provoking Lou Bujue and Bai Yishan; he didn't know what he was planning or what gave him the confidence to do so.

But no matter what, he was, after all, a member of Sky Melody Peak of the Illusion Sound Sect; if he really encountered danger, he, as a Holy Son, definitely couldn't stand by and watch; he had to step in to protect him.

However, he was very puzzled in his heart as to why the Holy Daughter seemed so calm.

The Holy Daughter seemed to have a good relationship with Yuan Chu, and they were both from Sky Melody Peak.

Could it be that she wasn't worried at all?

At this moment, Mu Xingzhou suddenly felt that the power and aura of the water tower descending from the sky were rapidly weakening in an instant.

At the same time, he saw Yuan Chu move, stepping on the lake surface, his body leaving behind countless afterimages, his speed as fast as a flowing light, instantly breaking through Lou Bujue's immortal power barrier, closing in on him.

This scene was too sudden; apart from Qingqing and Wan'er, everyone else revealed a look of shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

Lou Bujue, who had been waiting to see Jun Wuxie suppressed to the point of kneeling, had his pupils violently contract.

A look of alarm flashed across his face; he reacted with lightning speed, retreating rapidly, trying to create distance, while simultaneously pushing forward with one hand, an immortal power handprint shaking the void, wanting to force his opponent back.

However, he saw in shock that the other party's palm shattered his immortal power handprint like a hot knife through butter.

Almost simultaneously, the other party's immortal power-condensed palm appeared before him.

He didn't even have time to react effectively.

With a 'smack' sound,

the crisp sound of a slap echoed in the sky above the lake.

Lou Bujue only felt a sharp pain in his face, his brain shaking, buzzing, his eyeballs in unbearable pain, almost shaken out of their sockets by the force of this slap; for a time, his eyes went black, the world spun, and his body lost its balance, flying out on the spot.

The entire exchange meet, inside the surrounding pavilions, was silent, without a sound.

The kings among the prodigies watched this scene dumbfounded, feeling as if it were a fantastic tale.

What was going on?

Lou Bujue, in the first exchange of blows, was actually slapped by that Yuan Chu, and his entire person flew out.

Moreover, when had Lou Bujue's immortal power become so weak?

Something was wrong!

The kings among the prodigies came back to their senses and saw the clue; Lou Bujue's cultivation had been suppressed.

At this time, he was actually only at the Fifth Heaven of the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm!

Lou Bujue flew far away, landing on the lake surface, splashing water everywhere.

He struggled to climb up, shaking his head hard to quickly recover, his eyes bursting with cold light!

"You! Damned Yuan Chu, do you have the Sky Melody Peak Master's Guanyin Jade Bracelet on you!"

Lou Bujue had previously discovered that he was enveloped in a special field.

In that instant, his cultivation directly fell from the Great Luo Immortal Monarch to the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm!

It was rumored that the Sky Melody Peak Master had an ancient treasure called the Guanyin Jade Bracelet; once its mysterious power was activated, it would form a domain of equality for all beings.

Within the domain of equality for all beings, cultivation would be forcibly suppressed to the same level as the holder of the Guanyin Jade Bracelet.

This Yuan Chu's cultivation was unbelievably low, actually only at the mere Fifth Heaven of the Nine Heavens Saint Immortal Realm!

"You're talking about this?"

Jun Wuxie did not pursue Lou Bujue but instead sat down cross-legged in the center of the lake, suspended on the water's surface.

He raised his left wrist, and an icy blue jade bracelet, engraved with mysterious Dao patterns and exuding Buddhist charm, was flowing with a mysterious light.

Upon seeing this, the pupils of the prodigies all contracted.

Guanyin Jade Bracelet!

It really was the Sky Melody Peak Master's ancient treasure!

"The Sky Melody Peak Master actually gave the Guanyin Jade Bracelet to you!"

The prodigies felt unbelievable.

How precious was the Guanyin Jade Bracelet; for so many years, they had never seen Lin Yinqing use the Guanyin Jade Bracelet.

It meant that the Sky Melody Peak Master was even reluctant to give this Guanyin Jade Bracelet to Lin Yinqing.

And now, she had given this treasure to Yuan Chu, who had only entered the sect for a few days!

"Holy Son Lou, is now the time to discuss the Guanyin Jade Bracelet?

I said, my strength is low, I'm just a small cultivator.

But I'm still much stronger than you, a Holy Son who's just fishing for fame.

The facts prove that you really aren't good enough."

"You dare to insult me!"

Lou Bujue was so angry that his black hair flew wildly.

He spread his arms, and the power of immortality boiled, with endless Dao patterns emerging.

Around his body, countless sword energies instantly evolved.

The way of the sword and slaughter swept open, stirring in the heavens and the earth.

"Senior Brother Yuan Chu, be careful; this is one of the strongest immortal arts of the Seven-Storied Immortal Tower, Seven-Storied Sword Slaughter!"

Qingqing couldn't help but remind him from inside the pavilion.

"It's just an immortal art from the Seven-Storied Immortal Tower; it's not worthy of the stage.

Once the immortal arts of my Sky Melody Peak are released, they can naturally steadily suppress it."

The immortal power around Jun Wuxie's body, who was sitting cross-legged on the lake surface, flowed, and the lake water rolled up, quickly condensing into a zither.

Upon seeing this, the kings among the prodigies were all stunned for a moment.

Was this Yuan Chu going to use the Sky Melody Peak's sound-killing immortal art?

He had only entered the sect for a few days; to what extent could he have cultivated the Sky Melody Peak's sound-killing immortal art?

Perhaps he hadn't even reached the level of a preliminary understanding.

Relying on the Guanyin Jade Bracelet, he originally had an advantage.

He didn't expect that he would actually be so arrogant and use a newly learned sound-killing immortal art.

"You are truly arrogant!"

Lou Bujue couldn't help but sneer in his heart upon seeing this.

Originally, he had no confidence, but at this moment, he knew that he had a chance to severely injure him.

A newly learned immortal art could exert even one-tenth of its power, which would already be very good; how could it compare to the Seven-Storied Sword Slaughter he was using?

"Senior Brother Yuan Chu!"

Qingqing clenched her fists tightly, somewhat anxious.

She was also shocked; what was wrong with Little Uncle-Master? He had only learned the Sky Melody Peak's immortal arts for a few days, yet he dared to use the sound-killing immortal arts at this time; wasn't this using his weaknesses to attack the strengths of others?

Mu Xingzhou was also nervous, and he couldn't help but worry in his heart.

Originally, he had a sure chance of winning; with the Guanyin Jade Bracelet on his body, within the domain of equality for all beings, with Yuan Chu's power at the same level, probably no one would be his opponent.

This could be seen from the fact that he had just slapped Lou Bujue away.

But now, he insisted on using the Sky Melody Peak's immortal arts that he wasn't familiar with.

At this time, the sound of swords resounded through the sky.

Endless sword energy came killing, covering the sky and covering the earth.

The sword energy of the Seven-Storied Sword Slaughter, while coming to kill, evolved countless storied buildings in the sky, like immortal palace halls, stirring with terrifying power, cooperating with the sword energy to kill.

The scene was very terrifying.

The entire sky above the lake was filled with sword energy and the storied building phenomenon.

The terrifying aftermath swept open in all directions, impacting the pavilions, and being obliterated by the Dao patterns that lit up the pavilions.

But the resulting air currents rushed into the pavilions, blowing the clothes and black hair of the kings among the prodigies, causing them to flutter wildly.

Zheng—

The sound of a zither then rang out.

Crisp, like a mountain spring tinkling.

At the same time as the zither sounded, a piece of musical note rushed out, the power of sound-killing rolling, instantly turning into a true dragon, emitting an earth-shattering dragon's roar.

The dragon's body was like immortal iron cast, the dragon's head was infinitely domineering, rushing towards the sword energy and the storied buildings.

Jun Wuxie sat cross-legged on the lake surface, skillfully plucking the zither strings with both hands, the zither sound zheng zheng, like metal horses and iron armor.

At the same time, endless musical notes rushed out from between his ten fingers and the zither strings, turning into one true dragon after another, roaring, all the way shattering the sword energy, the dragon claws tearing apart the storied building phenomenon, invincible.

"Dragon's Roar Rhapsody!"

Qingqing and Mu Xingzhou were dumbfounded.

This was one of the Sky Melody Peak's unique immortal arts, Dragon's Roar Rhapsody.

This immortal art was not easy to cultivate and required a long time to comprehend before one could obtain a little bit of essence.

The entire Sky Melody Peak, only the Master could completely control this art; even she herself had never completely understood the essence.

Little Uncle-Master, however, displayed it so superbly, with ease!

How on earth did he do it?

Little Uncle-Master only joined the sect a few days ago.

Even if Master shared all his insights with Little Uncle-Master, it shouldn't be like this, it's simply unbelievable!

"This Yuan Chu, his comprehension is terrifyingly heaven-defying?"

Mu Xingzhou felt incomparably shocked in his heart.

To master this immortal technique in just a few days, and to such a perfect degree?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have dared to believe it, it was simply like a fairy tale.

"Lou Buju, your Sevenfold Immortal Tower's immortal technique is nothing more than this, yet you dare to show off in front of my Heavenly Sound Peak's immortal technique, who gave you the courage?"

Jun Wuxie's words echoed amidst the zither music and dragon roars.

The True Dragons filling the sky suddenly surged with power once more, unstoppable, completely disintegrating the Sevenfold Sword Killing Immortal Technique.

Keng!

One True Dragon after another pounced towards Lou Buju, startling him into using all his immortal techniques to resist, but he still couldn't withstand them.

With a boom.

His immortal technique shattered, his protective immortal罡 was broken, and he was sent flying, letting out a painful cry.

Scarlet blood splattered in the air, falling into the lake and dyeing the water red.

Several deep, bone-deep cracks appeared on Lou Buju's chest, directly piercing through his chest cavity, tearing his internal organs.

Those were the claw marks left by the dragon.

After landing, he groaned, and before he could adjust his state, the True Dragons rushed over again.

Instantly, a burst of fresh blood bloomed, accompanied by Lou Buju's miserable screams.

His body was covered in bloodstains, flesh and blood flew everywhere, and he suffered heavy damage.

Zheng!

Almost at the same time, a sound wave swept out, entering Lou Buju's body and blasting him away again.

Lou Buju's body shook violently, he spat out blood wildly, and his entire aura instantly weakened.

The power of sound sealed his cave heaven star sea.

At this point, Jun Wuxie also stopped.

Here, he would naturally not kill the Holy Sons of these great forces.

Otherwise, it would make the Illusion Sound Sect a target of public criticism.

"Lou Buju, you're not good enough, go stand aside."

Jun Wuxie's indifferent words were like sharp knives piercing into Lou Buju's heart, making him hate him so much that he almost fainted on the spot.

"Yuan Chu! You are too arrogant, if it weren't for your Guanyin Jade Bracelet..."

"What ifs, there are no ifs.

If you're not convinced, you can go find a Guanyin Jade Bracelet too.

In a battle of the same realm, you are so vulnerable, what face do you have to talk about ifs here?"

"You—"

Lou Buju gasped for breath in anger, almost exploding on the spot.

Damn it!

Too damn it!

"Alas, Holy Son, come back, losing is losing."

A pleasant voice, with a helpless sigh, came from the pavilion where the Heaven's Chosen of the Sevenfold Immortal Tower were.

The speaker was the Holy Maiden Yun Huawai of the Sevenfold Immortal Tower.

She is very beautiful, with a face that could topple kingdoms, not much worse than Qingqing, with a slender figure and an otherworldly temperament.

"Does this Holy Son need you to remind me that I lost?"

Lou Buju was like a powder keg at this time, and he rebuked the Holy Maiden Yun Huawai.

Yun Huawai's face turned slightly cold, but she didn't argue with him, she just stopped talking, and the look in her eyes towards Lou Buju was no longer as indifferent as before, but with a bit more indifference.

"Bai Yishan, now it's your turn to play.

I heard that your Azure Water Sect's immortal techniques are no different from street juggling, I wonder if this is true."

"Yuan Chu!"

Bai Yishan was so angry when he heard this that his face turned ashen.

What nonsense have you heard, who said that?

It was clearly this Yuan Chu who made up a sentence out of thin air, and then asked him if this was the case!

How unreasonable.

This person is too arrogant, this is a public provocation, wanting to drag him into the water.

But in today's situation, the other party has the Guanyin Jade Bracelet in hand.

Lou Buju was defeated so thoroughly, if he went up, how much better would he be?

This Yuan Chu, I don't know what level he has cultivated the Divine Forbidden Domain to, his combat power in the same realm is so heaven-defying!

"Yuan Chu, do you want to make enemies for Heavenly Sound Peak and even the entire Illusion Sound Sect today?"

Bai Yishan was cowardly in his heart, and did not want to have a so-called discussion with Yuan Chu.

He knew that he had no chance of winning, and losing would be very embarrassing, sweeping the face of the Azure Water Sect.

"Making enemies?

Isn't it you and Lou Buju who targeted our Illusion Sound Sect first?" Qingqing sneered, "Why doesn't my Senior Brother Yuan Chu target other people, but only targets the two of you, don't you know why in your hearts?

Now, you realize that you are at a disadvantage, afraid of losing face, so you pretend to be aggrieved here, it's really ridiculous!"

Qingqing's ridicule made Bai Yishan's face extremely gloomy, and his hands trembled with anger.

Xu Wangchuan was also the same at this time, no longer having that shameless look with a lewd smile.
