Chapter 533 Enlightenment Amidst a Sea of Flowers, A Solitary Appreciation
A peach blossom fell, which Lu Zhuo caught with his outstretched hand. He gently inhaled the fragrance from his fingertips and murmured, "What a beautiful flower... It deserves to be admired by everyone."
Each peach blossom is like a flying sword.
Each flying sword will transform into a peach blossom.
A thousand swords were unleashed simultaneously, creating a magnificent rain of peach blossoms!
Standing alone in a sea of flowers, he was the most stunning and unparalleled peach blossom.
"Legend has it that the founder of the Flying Sword Sect, the Flying Sword Daoist, could kill enemies with the sand flowing from his fingertips by flicking flowers and leaves. He seemed to have no sword, but in fact, the sword was everywhere. He once even stirred up petals and leaves from the entire mountain range to condense sword energy to kill enemies. The scene was absolutely stunning... I thought it was just a legend or an exaggeration, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Mu Ye's eyes were excited as he stared intently at the peach petals that were flying in mid-air and could penetrate everything.
A sword is a weapon of killing, and it will inevitably be tainted with murderous intent and bloodlust. Usually, no matter what, one would not associate it with harmless peach petals.
Rong Shu tried to reach out and take a petal.
However, before the petal could even land in her palm, it automatically transformed into a sharp sword aura and stabbed towards her, which she dodged in time by turning her head.
Beside him, Mu Ye silently withdrew his hand that was about to pick up the flower petals. He then took out a recording stone, intending to record this scene so that when he returned to the True Martial Alliance, he would definitely let the brothers in the alliance see it.
There are quite a few bystanders who act like Mu Ye; in their eyes, the sea of flowers before them is an absolutely beautiful sight.
Only Leng Juechen, who was in the midst of it, could clearly feel the oppressive atmosphere it brought.
“How is that possible… just a Nascent Soul stage cultivator…” Leng Juechen narrowed his eyes slightly.
The feeling he got was more like facing a Nascent Soul cultivator...
“…No, this feeling…Could it be…How is this possible?!” Leng Juechen’s expression shifted constantly as he stared intently at Lu Zhuo, who was surrounded by a sea of flowers.
Rong Shu, who was watching the battle, narrowed his eyes and immediately transmitted his voice to Si Chenbi: [Chenbi, isolate the outside world... No! Make sure no unauthorized personnel get close.]
At the same time, Leng Tieyi, who was "chasing" Duan Yuyan, seemed to sense something and stopped what he was doing, turning his head to look at Lu Zhuo.
In the distance, a biting wind howled and snowflakes fluttered down.
A tightly sealed, icy world forcibly trapped an old cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage who had not yet comprehended any supernatural powers.
Xing Xue appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, she was completely absorbed in the battle and thoroughly enjoyed the thrill of fighting.
In that instant, she sensed something unusual about her surroundings. She scanned the area with her divine sense and was stunned the next second.
What kind of scene was that?
In the void, a person stands alone, detached from the world.
With a gentle wave of his sleeve, countless peach blossoms fluttered down, accompanying him.
The world before us is filled with the rich fragrance of peach blossoms, which, in their most stunning and dazzling manner, forcefully occupy everyone's field of vision.
No matter how many petals obscured the view, in that sea of flowers, that blue figure remained the most elegant and unparalleled.
Wherever he is, that place is the center.
"...Wherever I am, that is the ten-mile peach blossom forest." In the depths of his heart, Lu Zhuo seemed to hear an echo—
'...You are a loser. You...were only one of the top four in the tournament...'
'According to your script, shouldn't you be the leader?'
Before the 'voice' could continue its sarcasm, Lu Zhuo shook his head with amusement and hissed, "Loser? No, no, no..."
His eyes shone with the same brilliance as always.
"I, Lu Zhuo, have always been the most elegant and composed winner."
"It was true in the past, it is true now, and it will be true in the future."
"A temporary setback? That's not a failure. It's just that Heaven sees that I am exceptionally handsome, talented, and have had a smooth life, so it adds a little difficulty for me."
Absolute confidence, absolute elegance, absolute composure – that is Lu Zhuo.
Even if he falls into an endless abyss and cannot see a single ray of light, Lu Zhuo himself can still emit light.
Amidst the swirling sea of flowers and endless pink blossoms and fragrance, a fierce surge of sword energy swept through the air.
The surrounding area only had a small amount of sword energy emanating from it, yet it was capable of shattering mountains and collapsing rocks, its sharpness unmatched.
Leng Juechen's vanished three heads and six arms reappeared. Amidst the clash of swords, he annihilated several sword energies, but the endless peach blossom petals that permeated the heavens and the earth were impossible to eradicate no matter how hard he tried.
For a moment, Leng Juechen was completely surrounded by the seemingly fragile peach blossoms, making him appear somewhat restrained.
"really……"
Rong Shu's expression relaxed, and a smile appeared in his eyes: "...Lu Zhuo has comprehended his own supernatural power."
Unexpectedly, the third person to comprehend the supernatural power was not Feng Qianli or Si Chenbi, but Lu Zhuo.
Xing Xue and Lu Zhuo, who were ranked lower at the Heroes' Gathering, both caught up and mastered the supernatural arts first, allowing them to go further on the path of cultivation.
"Cough cough..."
Leng Juechen coughed from the choking pollen and withdrew his [Three Heads and Six Arms] supernatural power, while the peach blossom rain around him gradually subsided.
He looked at the person opposite him with a complicated expression: "If it were a life-or-death battle, I would not have held back just now, nor would I have sat and waited for you to attain enlightenment."
"Thank you for going easy on me, Senior Brother." Lu Zhuo raised his hand in a bow, accepting the favor.
"If today truly is a life-or-death battle, I will not hold back!" Lu Zhuo waved his sleeve, and petals of peach blossoms swept out, surrounding him and gradually revealing his true form under the sunlight.
Those weren't "peach blossoms," but a thousand other flying swords! A thousand flying swords that Lu Zhuo had never used from beginning to end!
"You...you control two thousand flying swords?!" Leng Juechen's pupils shrank.
"Before sparring with Senior Brother Leng, I could only control 1,500 blades," Lu Zhuo said modestly.
Because of the enlightenment he had just gained, he was now able to control two thousand flying swords simultaneously.
Lu Zhuo couldn't quite describe the feeling, but he vaguely sensed that the supernatural power he wanted to master was not far away.
"Five hundred flying swords... and you actually managed to hold back without using even a single one?" Leng Juechen thought he had been suppressing Lu Zhuo from the beginning, but he didn't expect that the other party had also "held back".
It was only at this moment that Leng Juechen truly began to take Lu Zhuo seriously.
……
"Rong Shu! How long are you going to keep watching this show...?"
A roar drew Rong Shu's attention back.
"You bastard! If you don't come soon, I'm going to kick the bucket..." Duan Yuyan cursed at Rong Shu while turning to look at Leng Tieyi behind him, pleading pitifully for mercy.
"Senior sister, can we make a deal? I'm really just an innocent passerby. Please be kind and lenient... Ouch!"
A cold glint flashed in Leng Tieyi's eyes, and suddenly several gleaming steel needles appeared where Duan Yuyan had been standing!
Duan Yuyan did not relax for a moment, and repeatedly used teleportation to escape.
"Chen Bi! Save me!"
Duan Yuyan's gaze fell on Si Chenbi not far away, and she flew over with a joyful expression, hiding behind Si Chenbi.
Si Chenbi paused for a moment, but ultimately did not betray Duan Yuyan.
"Chen Bi, you're still the best! Rong Shu is a heartless beast!" Duan Yuyan said, her eyes brimming with tears.
Upon seeing this, Leng Tieyi, who had caught up, scoffed, "What kind of person hides behind a young lady? Come out!"
"I won't come out! I won't come out! If you have the guts, come over here!" Duan Yuyan became smug again. His smug face and tone made even Si Chenbi want to hit him, let alone Leng Tieyi on the other side.
"Chenbi, you hold them off for a bit, okay? I won't get in your way..."
Duan Yuyan knew when to stop and immediately slipped away.
"Shameless scoundrel!" Leng Tieyi glared at Si Chenbi: "Junior sister, are you going to help this kind of shameless scoundrel? A degenerate villain?"
Si Chenbi remained silent, staring intently at Leng Tieyi, refusing to budge an inch.
"Little Duan, are you still alive?" Rong Shu crossed her arms and turned to look at Duan Yuyan, who was rushing toward her.
"You...you, Rong Shu! Why didn't you come to save me?!" After Duan Yuyan caught his breath, he began to question Rong Shu: "You have time to flirt with girls, but no time to save me??" He was truly furious!
Rong Shu spread his hands innocently: "I just trust you~"
"As the only disciple of the Grand Master, you should have some skills. You shouldn't have fallen so quickly."
Despite Duan Yuyan's disheveled escape, he managed to hold out for so long against Leng Tieyi, a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even if Leng Tieyi wasn't going all out, it was still something an ordinary mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn't withstand.
and so……
Rong Shu's eyes darted around as she scrutinized Duan Yuyan from head to toe.
This guy... is definitely up to something!
Although Rong Shu had no evidence, her intuition told her that something was very wrong!
However, Xiao Duanzi has been pushed to this point by Leng Tieyi, and after being publicly humiliated for so long, he hasn't revealed a single trace of his true colors.
Rong Shu was genuinely curious.
Is the Grand Master, the strongest in the academy, and the only disciple he acknowledges, really just a weakling who can only run away and has no fighting ability whatsoever?
