Chapter 111: Bestowing You the Separation Hook  

Everyone witnessed Zhang Qiuchi’s Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivation base.

The disciples on the Green Jade Altar were excited when they saw this.

Mingshi Yin frowned. When he saw the Daoist Mudras’ increasing number, he shook his head and said, “I told you that I don’t want to fight, and yet, you’re forcing me to fight you.”

Zhang Qiuchi scoffed and charged at Mingshi Yin, “You don’t have a say in this!”

Primal Qi surged from Mingshi Yin’s body, and his protective energy parried the Mudras. Then, he said, “It’s been a few years. Have your Mudras gotten weaker?”

“You’re a loser who can only rely on your glib tongue.” Zhang Qiuchi attacked at lightning speed.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Both of them were instantly engaged in a battle, leaving afterimages in the air.

Energy waves intertwined and collided!

Mingshi Yin retreated as he fought. He conjured up energy waves to parry Zhang Qiuchi’s attacks

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Many of the disciples’ cultivation bases were lower than the Brahman Sea realm. It was rare for them to witness a battle between Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm cultivators. They looked suitably impressed.

“The elder’s Mudras are excellent. I’m sure the villain will lose very soon.”

“To be honest, I’m quite confused. It’s said that Ji Tiandao intentionally suppresses his remaining disciples. Even then, they’re a match for Elder Zhang who’s at the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm.”

“It’s nothing strange. Elder Zhang isn’t using his full strength yet. Let’s watch for a while longer...”

“Even without Elder Zhang, we still have the grandmaster. There’s no need to worry.”

The crowd was satisfied with the discourse. They calmed down and continued watching the battle.

Daoist Mudras were similar to Zen Mudras. Mingshi Yin knew how to deal with these Mudras. He kept using his energy to parry the incoming Mudras. This way, Zhang Qiuchi became the attacker while Mingshi Yin became the passive defender.

“Old geezer, don’t make me do this!” Mingshi Yin waved his arms. He kept conjuring waves of energy to block the attacks.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Mingshi Yin continued to retreat as he defended himself.

Zhang Qiuchi bellowed, “Too weak!” He did not think highly of Mingshi Yin at all. The energy around him erupted again.

Mingshi Yin felt that something was amiss as the look in his eyes changed. ‘This old geezer seems to be stronger than before...’ He looked at his surroundings, feeling wary about this place. After all, this place was not too far from the Green Jade Altar. If Zhang Yuanshan and the other elders appeared, he would be in a disadvantageous position.

At this moment, Mingshi Yin saw Zhang Qiuchi spread his palms before dozens of Mudras were launched at him. A burst of Primal Qi surged out of his body as he quickly retreated.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Mingshi Yin was continuously forced to retreat!

Zhang Yi was delighted that he gained the upper hand. He crowed, “As expected, you’re as weak as before!”

Mingshi Yin turned around and fled.

“He did it on purpose?” Zhang Qiuchi was taken aback.

Mingshi Yin was several meters away in an instant. Indeed, he had relied on the impact of Zhang Qiuchi’s attacks to flee.

“Come catch me if you dare... My Third Senior Brother and master will be coming soon!”

Zhang Qiuchi thought nothing of this. He called out coldly, “Running away? You’re too late!” He quickly unleashed his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. “Hundred Tribulations Insight! Grand Technique!”

With the two active ultimate skills, Zhang Qiuchi moved at breakneck speed. In just a blink of an eye, he appeared next to Mingshi Yin and struck with his palm.

Boom!

“I knew you’d do this, you old geezer!” Mingshi Yin instantly activated his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar as well and parried Zhang Qiuchi’s powerful strike.

However, Zhang Qiuchi had a Two-leaf Golden Lotus avatar. Mingshi Yin’s leafless avatar was much smaller compared to a Two-leaf avatar. It was like a child facing off against an adult. When their avatars’ energies collided, Mingshi Yin fell to the ground with a loud rumble.

The disciples from the Green Jade Altar had rushed over at this moment and witnessed this majestic scene.

“With Elder Zhang’s Two-leaf Avatar, this Mingshi Yin will surely lose!”

“However, we shouldn’t underestimate Mingshi Yin as well. I didn’t expect him to have an avatar. He’s already a Nascent divinity Tribulation realm cultivator.”

“He has rotten luck. Elder Zhang’s the only one here, and he ran into him. Elder Zhang is destined to be the bane of Mingshi Yin’s life!”

The disciples from the Green Jade Altar were excited and proud when they saw this scene.

...

Meanwhile, Bi An hovered in the horizons. Lu Zhou sat on its back as he stroked his beard and calmly watched on.

“Master, aren’t we going to help Fourth Senior Brother?” Little Yuan’er asked.

“Mingshi Yin has been in the Divine Court realm for a long time. He’s not any less talented than Duanmu Sheng. If I help him, how’s he supposed to train himself in actual battle?” Lu Zhou said.

“You’re really wise, master. I want to fight as well... with them.” Little Yuan’er pointed at the disciples on the Green Jade Altar.

“Just watch. Don’t butt in,” Lu Zhou chided.

“Oh.”

The disciples on the Green Jade Altar disciples were low-ranked cultivators. It was meaningless to fight them.

...

When Zhang Qiuchi’s attack landed true, he stared at the ground smugly. ‘With this, Mingshi Yin will surely be injured, if not dead.’

Mingshi Yin stirred up clouds of dust when he crashed onto the ground. He was temporarily obscured from everyone’s sights.

When the dust dissipated, creaking sounds could be heard.

Creak! Creak! Creak!

Vines started growing out of the ground. They resembled tentacles as they reached for Zhang Qiuchi.

“Bluewood Heart Technique?” As Mingshi Yin’s former opponent, Zhang Qiuchi immediately recognized this technique. This was the essence of the Bluewood Heart Technique, utilizing Primal Qi to promote plant growth. In the forest, Mingshi Yin’s cultivation base and strength would improve tremendously. ‘Did he do that on purpose as well?’

“You sly fox! Do you think that I haven’t thought of a way to deal with your Bluewood Heart Technique after all these years?” Zhang Qiuchi bellowed as he suddenly recalled his Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar. Instead of retreating, he flew toward the dense growth of vines!

“Elder!” The disciples of the Green Jade Altar were shocked.

At this moment, energy began to surge from the vines.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A fire was ignited, and the vines shrunk backward immediately.

“You old geezer! Forget it! I won’t fight you today!” Mingshi Yin coughed a few times before he turned around to flee.

“...” Upon seeing this, there were no changes in Lu Zhou’s expression. However, he felt extremely speechless inwardly. His disciple Mingshi Yin’s will to survive was much stronger than he had expected. His disciple only thought about escaping with his life intact all the time that he had forgotten about facing and defeating his enemies.

Mingshi Yin continued to run.

Zhang Qiuchi called out, “So, this is all there is to the villains in the Evil Sky Pavilion...” His voice resounded in the entire area.

Upon hearing this, the disciples on the Green Jade Altar laughed. It seemed like the villains of the Evil Sky Pavilion were not as terrifying as they had imagined. To think that a villain would flee out of fear!

Zhang Qiuchi spoke in a deep voice, “With my Two-leaf avatar, I would be embarrassed to no end if I let you and your leafless avatar escape.”

Hundred Tribulations Insight!

Grand technique!

Zhang Qiuchi unleashed his powers again. He moved swiftly. He seemed to have recreated the scene from before as he appeared next to Mingshi Yin again. A wave of powerful energy spread outward with Zhang Qiuchi’s avatar in the center.

Boom!

This time, Mingshi Yin could not activate his avatar in time to defend himself. He was like a lonely boat in the middle of the sea during a storm as he flew out. All of a sudden, he flipped in the air before he landed on the ground. He tried his best to suppress his boiling Qi and blood as he said tauntingly, “Come on! You can’t kill me, your grandfather, with this!”

Zhang Qiuchi spoke haughtily in the air, “Do you think you can provoke me into continuously unleashing my grand technique? You’re thinking too much! Your death is near!” As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his right hand. A gray weapon materialized and hovered above his palm. It spun for a moment before dropping into his hand. It was a saber that was half gray and half dark crimson.

The disciples on the Green Jade Altar were abuzz when they saw this.

“Life Cutter! It’s Elder Zhang’s Life Cutter!”

“Three years ago, Elder Zhang brought this heaven-grade weapon back from Rongbei!”

“So this is why Elder Zhang is so confident that he unleashed his ultimate skills four times in a row. He has a heaven-grade weapon with him...”

“Mingshi Yin is dead meat! Every time this saber appears, a life will surely be taken away!”

Bzzt! Bzzt! Bzzt!

Life Cutter began to vibrate. Wave after wave of pure energy appeared and shrouded the saber.

“Mingshi Yin, die!”

Mingshi Yin did not expect Zhang Qiuchi would possess a heaven-grade weapon. Zhang Qiuchi was not the Four Dark Knights. He knew the Bluewood Heart Technique’s weakness. On top of that, he had Life Cutter as well. There was no way he could beat him!

Zhang Qiuchi raised his Life Cutter! Before he slashed the saber down, a voice rang from afar.

“Catch!”

Whoosh!

The Separation Hook and Scabbard sailed through the air toward Mingshi Yin.
