Chapter 545 It's You, This Small Path! [7700-word big chapter, asking for monthly votes!]_4
Worldly affairs are truly lamentable.
In the events unfolding, Lu Qingfeng had been aware long before his eldest disciple reincarnated. He harbored doubts in his heart and looked towards Zheng Chi, waiting for an explanation.
Yet Zheng Chi remained silent.
Atop Si Ming Peak, silence pervaded.
A quarter of an hour.
Half an hour.
Seeing his unrepentant attitude, Lu Qingfeng's patience wore thin, his anger flaring.
"Back then, I saved your life, defied the heavens to change your fate, and led you onto the path. And yet, you brought calamity upon the mortal world!" A fierce light flashed in Lu Qingfeng's eyes, and with a raise of his hand, he struck toward Zheng Chi's forehead, "If that's the case, today I shall personally eliminate this menace and cleanse the mortal world!"
A palm wrapped in a strong wind.
If it truly struck, even if Zheng Chi were a True Immortal, he wouldn't die but would lose half his life.
"Teacher."
Zheng Chi looked up at Lu Qingfeng, his face conflicted and struggling.
In the end.
He did not dodge or avoid but allowed Lu Qingfeng's palm to come down.
"Teacher, please show mercy!"
Qin Wei's expression tightened, and without a second thought, he furiously launched his Divine Fire Fan to block the palm for Zheng Chi.
"How dare you!"
Lu Qingfeng shouted angrily.
With a fierce swing of his green bamboo staff, twelve Iron-Backed Centipedes climbed and intertwined into a formation, instantly blasting the Divine Fire Fan aside, along with Qin Wei, making him unable to block any further.
Zheng Chi gave up resisting, his arms drooped, and his face seemed relieved.
Waiting for Lu Qingfeng's palm wind to fall.
However.
As the palm wind faced him, it suddenly stopped. Zheng Chi was taken aback and then heard a cold snort—
"Hmph!"
"Thinking to use the Golden Silkworm to substitute for your life, one life for another?!"
"As your teacher, how could I let you off so easily!"
Zheng Chi opened his eyes.
Only to see his teacher change his palm to a seal, and from the other hand holding the green bamboo staff, twelve Iron-Backed Centipedes flew out, about to entangle him in an instant.
"Teacher!"
Zheng Chi did not expect this change, reacted too slowly, and felt overwhelming Sealing Power assaulting him from all directions, pinning him down rigidly, unable to move, let alone resist.
He furrowed his brows.
Flames surged around his body, his eyes fiery intense.
Gongyang Ye saw this and his expression changed, "It's truly the 'Xuanhuo Technique' of the Five Fire Sect!"
He had sensed a familiar aura from Zheng Chi upon their first meeting. Now seeing Zheng Chi deploy this technique, he immediately realized that his fellow disciple had also cultivated the Five Fire Sect's Great Method.
This was the 'Xuanhuo Technique'.
Even in this method, his prowess surpassed Gongyang Ye, a genuine Five Fire Sect True Immortal by countless measures.
However.
Although Zheng Chi's proficiency in the 'Xuanhuo Technique' was strong, and the Five Fires were tumultuous, for the moment, he could not tear through the blockade and suppression. Lu Qingfeng, seeing the flames, sent out countless Divine Fires from his palm seal.
Terrifying Divine Fires covered the sky, compressing Zheng Chi's surrounding flames to their limit.
Only a few sparks remained.
This was the Dutian Demon Flames, belonging to Divine Skills, and not something the Five Fire Sect's Xuanhuo Technique could compare to.
"Disciple has offended!"
Zheng Chi clenched his teeth, gold, Xuan, and dark lights rose from his body.
Zhang Jingshan and the others looked on, their pupils shrinking, "It's the aura of the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect, Sanwen Immortal Sect, and Five Stars Prefecture!"
First the 'Xuanhuo Technique' of the Five Fire Sect.
Then recalling when Zheng Chi captured Yu Fengzi earlier, he used the top-notch Great Method of the Sanwen Immortal Sect, 'Plague Emperor's Great Seal'. Now showing the Golden Silkworm Gu of the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect and the 'Pox God Skill' of the Five Stars Prefecture.
This was the amalgamation of four top immortal sect Great Methods in one body.
And his appearance seemed to possess high proficiency in all.
"No wonder he could contend against three great Immortal Alliances as the Longevity Alliance Leader, possessing such formidable power!"
Zhang Jingshan and others finally witnessed how formidable this fellow disciple was.
Their eyes widened.
Eager to assist, but seeing their teacher still had the upper hand, they dared not rashly intervene. Thus, they stood by, ready to act at any moment.
The green bamboo staff swung.
The twelve Iron-Backed Centipedes formed an array, sealing Zheng Chi tightly.
Lu Qingfeng stamped his foot—
Boom boom boom!
The ground shook and the mountain trembled, and the center of Si Ming Peak split open, revealing a bottomless abyss.
This was the 'Mountain and Earth Breaking Skill', a technique of the Great Divine Power. Once executed, mountains split and earth cracked, and the twelve Iron-Backed Centipedes pressed against the world, about to send Zheng Chi into the belly of the mountain. Once the mountain merged, Lu Qingfeng would then insert countless talismanic scripts with his Great Mana, and unless he permitted it, Zheng Chi would never see the light of day again.
He was indeed angry, wanting to severely punish this second disciple.
"Teacher."
"Please lift your honorable hand high, spare your disciple and let me leave!"
Zheng Chi, seeing the abyss within the mountain belly and sensing danger, quickly pleaded with Lu Qingfeng to spare him, hoping to escape to heaven.
However.
Lu Qingfeng paid him no heed.
Just holding the green bamboo staff, he pressed against the struggling Zheng Chi, inch by inch pushing him into the mountain belly.
"Teacher—"
Zheng Chi clenched his teeth, veins bulging on his face, flushed. With a loud shout, gold light shimmered intensely on his body, and a majestic and grand ghostly aura spread out, trying to sweep across all directions. His entire being transformed into a several meters tall Vajra figure.
"This is—"
"The 'Ghost Ancestor Golden Body' of the Nine Nether Ghost Nether Sect?"
Qin Wei, holding the Divine Fire Fan, steadied himself from the blast, seeing Zheng Chi transformed into a furious Vajra, instantly recognizing the technique. Zhang Jingshan and others, not recognizing it at first, took a moment to recall. After all, before they grew up, the Ghostly Nether Immortal Venerable who inherited the Nine Nether Ghost Nether Sect's traditions had long been slain by Lu Qingfeng.
Other than being collected by Lu Qingfeng, the various secret techniques of the Nine Nether Ghost Nether Sect were no longer passed down in the outside world.
This was their first encounter.
"The 'Xuanhuo Technique' of the Five Fire Sect."
"The 'Plague Emperor's Great Seal' of the Sanwen Immortal Sect."
"The 'Golden Silkworm Gu' of the Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect."
"The 'Pox God Skill' of the Five Stars Prefecture."
"The 'Ghost Ancestor Golden Body' of the Nine Nether Ghost Nether Sect."
