Chapter 500: Suppress

Qiu Jinan was furious. Yang Ding, you're usually such an honest person, how come you're playing dirty behind the scenes now?

How come he hadn't thought of that!

Their Five Elements Sect also wanted to promote themselves. This celebration of the Heavenly Court Sect was such a good opportunity to brag about their sect, and they had missed it in vain!

Daoist Daoist Bu Yu wrote "Legends of the Congwendao Sect" every day. Now, you could hear storytelling about the Congwendao Sect in any teahouse, and the popularity of the Congwendao Sect was doubling.

Qiu Jinan also wanted to do this, but unfortunately, the Five Elements Sect didn't have a talent like Daoist Daoist Bu Yu.

Luo Hongxia was doing fine; the Moon Laurel Immortal Palace was a semi-secluded sect, and the sect was full of female cultivators, so they didn't need to promote their popularity to be higher than the Five Elements Sect and the Zhenyu Sect.

"Sect Master Lu, is it still too late to promote our Five Elements Sect now? The reward is negotiable." Qiu Jinan asked the Decayed Fairy next to him. The general consensus in the Cultivation Realm was that the ancient era was strong to the extreme, and everyone was willing to associate themselves with the ancient era. With the Heavenly Court Sect around, wouldn't anything they said be associated with the ancient era?

The cooperation matters were negotiated by Lu Yang; how would the Decayed Fairy understand these things?

She transmitted to Lu Yang, who was fighting on the arena. Lu Yang pondered for a moment and gave a response.

"Although I can take this opportunity to praise the Five Elements Sect now, saying things like 'as expected of the Five Elements Sect, which contains the power of the heaven and earth five elements,' and 'the founding ancestor had great talent,' the timing is wrong. It's easy to give people a very stiff feeling, which is not conducive to establishing the reputation of our Heavenly Court Sect. Tell Sect Master Qiu that it won't work this time, but we can cooperate with the Five Elements Sect next time."

"Oh."

On the arena, Lu Yang was fighting fiercely with Yan Tianzhi.

In the previous round, Yan Tianzhi had fought with all his might to defeat Bai Ming for the sake of publicity. To be able to defeat Bai Ming, he naturally had his merits.

Taotie and Azure Dragon were transcendent great races of the demonic clan. Originally, one could only tattoo one battle pattern in the Jin Dan stage, but Yan Tianzhi's physique was extremely compatible with the battle pattern cultivation method. After returning from the Qingzhou Celebration, he entered seclusion to comprehend it, bathed in the Dragon Transformation Pool, and realized the Azure Dragon Battle Pattern.

Compared to the Taotie Battle Pattern, the Azure Dragon Battle Pattern had appeared for a shorter time and he couldn't master it proficiently yet, but even so, it was enough to put pressure on Lu Yang.

"The power of the battle pattern is really hard to deal with." Lu Yang gritted his teeth. This wasn't reading an advertisement; he really felt that way.

Yan Tianzhi's fighting style was fierce, and it was all close-quarters combat. Lu Yang wasn't a body cultivator, so fighting Yan Tianzhi head-on was a disadvantage.

According to the cultivation method, Lu Yang belonged to the dharma cultivator and sword cultivator categories.

If only he could swap with Meng Jingzhou, let Meng Jingzhou fight Yan Tianzhi, and he himself fight Lan Ting, it would guarantee that both sides could advance.

Several water balls appeared behind Yan Tianzhi. The Azure Dragon controlled water; this was the ability of the Azure Dragon Battle Pattern.

The two ends of the water balls became sharp, turning into water needles that pierced toward Lu Yang.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

"Jinghong!" Lu Yang casually made up a name for the sword move; what he was actually using was the "Slash-Character Technique."

Sword moves at this realm were actually about the same, with no big difference. The only difference was the name.

Don't look at Mingtai's superb sword skills, killing in the early Jin Dan stage group, the sword moves he used were exquisite to the extreme, but in fact, they could all be summarized into the basic sword moves Lu Yang knew, such as the "Slash-Character Technique," "Break-Character Technique," and "Point-Character Technique."

As long as he didn't use moves with obvious characteristics like "One Sword Becomes Wan Jian," "Wan Jian Return to Sect," or "Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate," the moves of a sword cultivator were about the same. The comprehension of the sword path was what determined the strength of the basic sword moves.

The Slash-Character Technique broke the water needles. The moment the water needles touched the sword Qi, they turned into water vapor, permeating the arena.

"Heaven-Opening!"

Lu Yang made up another sword move casually. The sword Qi was grand and atmospheric, upright and peaceful, with the power of ten thousand men who could not be defeated.

Yan Tianzhi, who had originally wanted to use the water mist to approach Lu Yang, felt his hair stand on end, feeling a thick threat.

This move couldn't be resisted head-on with the body.

"Shield Ghost!"

The ghost king holding the shield bared its fangs and brandished its claws, blocking in front of Yan Tianzhi. The ghost king transformed by the battle pattern collided with the sharp sword. The collision was silent, but it produced a thousand layers of air waves, blowing away the water vapor that permeated the arena.

Shield Ghost was Yan Tianzhi's first battle pattern. It had no offensive power, but in its place was a defensive power that couldn't be broken by the same level.

Yan Tianzhi's pupils shrank. He saw cracks appearing on the Shield Ghost; it actually couldn't withstand this sword strike.

As expected of an ancient genius, he was indeed powerful.

Yan Tianzhi still didn't know Lu Yang's identity.

"Receive!"

Yan Tianzhi withdrew the Shield Ghost. The Shield Ghost turned into a battle pattern and branded itself on his arm. His arm bore part of the damage the battle pattern received, and blood flowed immediately.

Fortunately, it only bore an equal amount of damage. If it were damage transfer, his arm would have been pierced by the sword Qi by now.

Yan Tianzhi summoned the Taotie and Azure Dragon battle patterns again, wanting to launch an attack again.

Lu Yang scratched his cheek and put away his sharp sword: "Fighting like this is endless. Forget it, let's try the move I just learned."

"Suppress!"

A huge golden statue descended from the sky, covering Yan Tianzhi, who was preparing to charge!

Yan Tianzhi didn't expect the sudden appearance of the statue and hit his head against the inner wall of the statue, bumping a big lump on his head.

The two great battle patterns collided with the statue. The statue was as heavy as a mountain, and the collision of the battle patterns only made the statue sway slightly.

Instead, the shock echo produced by the collision made Yan Tianzhi temporarily deaf in both ears.

"What is this?!"

Even though the audience was well-informed, they didn't recognize this move.

"It feels like the Buddha Sect's Six-Foot Golden Body."

"Stop talking nonsense. Whose Six-Foot Golden Body is so far away from the caster? It must be an ancient lost move."

"Didn't you hear him say a 'Suppress' word just now? Maybe this is the ancient lost 'Words Follow the Law'!"

"What!"

Yan Tianzhi wanted to dig a hole and drill out from below, but unfortunately, the arena had been blessed with great magic power. Even a Spirit Transformation stage battle couldn't damage the arena, cutting off his last hope.

Lu Yang wasn't so weak that he couldn't even move his own golden body. Taking advantage of Yan Tianzhi not thinking of other ways and being stunned, he kicked his own golden body over. The golden body, along with Yan Tianzhi, rolled off the arena.

Lu Yang won.

The young Sect Master Lu had passed all the way through, finally reaching the finals, and had to face his lifelong nemesis—Meng Jingzhou.

Lu Yang sat cross-legged to restore the spiritual power he had just consumed. The finals officially began.

Meng Jingzhou had long been impatient and jumped onto the arena.

He gave two strange laughs and rubbed his hands: "Hehe, it's finally my turn."

He had returned from his studies with Qiu Jinan and finally had the opportunity to show his skills and properly clean up the lawless Lu Yang.

Being an Acting Sect Master is amazing, but if you should be beaten, you still have to be beaten!

"Congwendao Sect, Meng Jingzhou."

"Heavenly Court, Young Sect Master."

"Let's discuss this. This time you cooperate with me to act, and next time I'll praise you like this too." Lu Yang kindly transmitted his advice. As fellow sect brothers, if they could not fight, they shouldn't fight, as it would destroy unity.

"You say not to fight, so we don't fight? Let me tell you, I'm determined to hit you today!" Meng Jingzhou wouldn't let go of the opportunity to fight Lu Yang.

Lu Yang sighed and had to change his way of speaking: "Then I order you to admit defeat in the capacity of Acting Sect Master."

Meng Jingzhou: "..."

"How about we discuss it again?"

The second update will be at eleven o'clock.
