My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 112: You’re Not Afraid of Me?

Everyone’s attention was focused on the object sailing through the air before they turned to look at the person who had spoken.

‘The grandmaster?’

‘Why is he helping the villain?’

Lu Zhou who had spoken stood next to Bi An. He continued stroking his beard with one hand while he rested the other on his back.

The disciples from Green Jade Altar who were watching the battle were dumbfounded.

“Grandmaster?”

“What’s happening?”

“Did the grandmaster intend to kill the villain? Did the weapon slip from his hand and ended up in the villain’s hands instead?”

At this moment, the Separation Hook and Scabbard had already reached the spot before Zhang Qiuchi.

“A desperate struggle!” Zhang Qiuchi had already raised his Life Cutter. He decided to deal with this latest development after he killed his opponent.

Bam!

Zhang Qiuchi’s saber landed on the Separation Hook and Scabbard.

The Separation Hook and Scabbard spun wildly from the impact of a heaven-grade weapon and continued falling downward.

Zhang Qiuchi was shocked when he saw this. ‘This object is capable of withstanding a slash from Life Cutter?’ He frowned as he stared intently at the peculiar weapon.

The weapon that was sent flying by Zhang Qiuchi continued on its trajectory toward Mingshi Yin’s hands as though it was searching for its owner.

“Ding! Separation Hook and Scabbard has successfully acknowledged its master. Activated grade: Heaven-grade. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”

Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. If Mingshi Yin did not have the Separation Hook, he would not stand a chance of defeating Zhang Qiuchi who wielded Life Cutter. Initially, he intended to temper Mingshi Yin’s personality first before giving the Separation Hook and Scabbard. After all, Mingshi Yin was too reckless and stood out too much. However, this seemed like a good opportunity as well.

The moment the weapon acknowledged its master, Mingshi Yin’s eyes lit up in excitement. Before he thanked his master, he leaped into the air at lightning speed. In the next moment, he unsheathed the Separation Hook. He seemed like a tiger who had sprouted wings as he charged at Zhang Qiuchi.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

A wave of energy that was much more majestic compared to before surged out of Mingshi Yin’s body. His speed and movements were at their fastest. When he wielded the Separation Hook and Scabbard, it seemed like fireworks in the sky as it flashed with light. It seemed as though the sky was his playground at this moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Mingshi Yin struck with a hook using his backhand while he used his forehand to strike with the saber. He kept switching between the two modes of attacks, and all his blows landed on Zhang Qiuchi’s Life Cutter. At this moment, his voice resounded in the sky. “Zhang Qiuchi, you’ve unleashed your grand technique four times in a row. If it weren’t for Life Cutter, you won’t stand a chance against me.”

Realization dawned on Zhang Qiuchi at this moment. The so-called grandmaster was the master of the Evil Sky Pavilion. The revelation put immense pressure on him. His power continued to wane while Mingshi Yin’s power grew. It did not take long before Mingshi Yin gained the upper hand.

Zhang Qiuchi, naturally, had no intentions of throwing his life away. In just a split second, he decided to retreat until he was within the Green Jade Altar’s Grand Formation! He quickly raised Life Cutter, intending to copy Mingshi Yin.

However, at this moment, Mingshi Yin solemnly said, “Hundred Tribulations Insight.” His 20-feet avatar appeared, causing his speed to increase. The Separation Hook and Scabbard continued to rain down blows on Zhang Qiuchi like a tempest.

“Damnit!” Zhang Qiuchi kept retreating.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The collision between the two heaven-grade weapons sent sparks flying through the air.

However, Mingshi Yin’s confidence in his Separation Hook and Scabbard far exceeded that of Zhang Qiuchi in Life Cutter.

Mingshi Yin suddenly said, “Farewell!”

“Hm?” Zhang Qiuchi barely registered what Mingshi Yin had said when countless vines began to grow around him, cutting off his path of retreat.

“Hundred Tribulations Insight,” Mingshi Yin said coldly. This time, his avatar was no longer 20 feet. It was now 30 feet. Moreover, a leaf could be seen on the Golden Lotus under the avatar.

“What... When did you sprout a leaf?” Zhang Qiuchi’s eyes widened in disbelief.

Puh!

Mingshi Yin pierced Zhang Qiuchi’s chest with the Separation Hook and Scabbard. From the moment he obtained the heaven-grade weapon, he had been constantly pushing Zhang Qiuchi back. He did not stop for a single second to rest! “I’m sorry... I’ve always had a leaf.”

The battle ended just like that.

Zhang Qiuchi’s remaining Primal Qi kept his body in midair.

Mingshi Yin straightened his back as he hovered in the air. He wiped the Separation Hook with his sleeve and returned it to its scabbard.

Thud!

Zhang Qiuchi finally dropped to the ground.

“Ding! Killed a Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm target. Reward: 1,000 merit points.”

“Ding! Recovered the heaven-grade weapon, Life Cutter. Re-refining is needed before use.”

When Lu Zhou raised his hand, Life Cutter shot into his sleeve in just a blink of an eye.

Mingshi Yin hastily descended and rushed over to Bi An.

Since the vines were obstructing their view, the disciples from the Green Jade Altar disciples were unaware of what had happened. However, they were still able to see Bi An that was hovering high in the sky. When the vine finally disappeared, they were greeted by the sight of Mingshi Yin kneeling and cupping his hands together.

“Thank you, master! I’m glad I didn’t let you down!”

Loyalty +2.

Lu Zhou stroked his beard calmly. He merely glanced at Mingshi Yin and nodded in reply. He did not expect Mingshi Yin to have concealed his strength. It seemed like Mingshi Yin had sprouted a leaf during his battle with one of the Four Dark Knights as well.

Mingshi Yin stood up and said to Little Yuan’er, “Little Junior Sister, did I look like Second Senior Brother when I took out Zhang Qiuchi with a single strike earlier?”

Little Yuan’er rolled her eyes at him and said, “How would I know?”

If there were people who were still confused, the conversation between these people confirmed the old man’s identity.

“He’s the old villain?!”

“Ji Tiandao?”

“Impossible! The grandmaster whom Duan Xing introduced to us is the master of Evil Sky Pavilion?”

“Run!”

The disciples with weak cultivation bases did not dare to linger. Their lives were more important than watching a battle. In just a blink of an eye, only one disciple from the Green Jade Altar was left on the scene.

Little Yuan’er turned to look and said, “Eh, there’s someone who isn’t afraid of you, master.”

Lu Zhou looked at the person and discovered it was Zhang Chu, the Righteous Sect’s fifth elder. He asked calmly, “You’re not afraid of me?”

Zhang Chu remained silent.

Lu Zhou nodded slightly and praised Zhang Chu. “I thought the Righteous Sect is only filled with cowardly mice.”

“Master, I haven’t had enough yet. Can I kill this man, too?” Mingshi Yin asked excitedly. “I promise it would not cause too big of a ruckus! He’ll die even faster than Zhang Qiuchi.”

Lu Zhou shook his head. He glanced at Zhang Chu and said, “There’s no need for that.”

Killing Zhang Chu was meaningless. He was only a small fry. His death would be of no consequence to the Righteous Sect.

Lu Zhou waved his sleeve as he said, “I like people with guts... I’ll spare your life.” Then, he said to his disciples, “Let’s return to the Evil Sky Pavilion.”

Bi An flew toward the clouds.

“Have a safe journey, master. I’ll go look for Third Senior Brother,” Mingshi Yin said.

Lu Zhou ignored him. He rose into the skies on Bi An’s back.

Mingshi Yin shot into the forest at lightning speed. “Why is Senior Brother taking so long for a trip to the toilet?” Soon after, he vanished, disappearing from the area.

....

After a long while, Zhang Chu slumped to the ground. A hot stream of liquid trailed down his legs at this moment.

‘That was f*cking scary! It’s too terrifying! The old villain was standing in front of me!’ Zhang Chu was nearly in tears.

...

In the quiet forest.

A man in green robes walked out unobtrusively. He looked in the direction where Bi An had flown off and muttered to himself, “Master, you seemed to have changed a lot...”

He walked slowly toward Zhang Chu who was sitting limply on the ground.

“Hello.”

“H-h-hello.” Zhang Chu nodded with a lingering fear.

“I don’t think it’s their intention to frighten you.”
