Lu Zhou shook his head.

Hua Zhenghong continued to say, "There are many people who know my identity in the Great Void. Since you have a good relationship with the White Emperor, did he not tell you anything?"

Bai Zhaoju: "?"

Lu Zhou sighed.

Hua Zhenghong waved her hand.

The Templars brought out their formation flags again.

At the same time, the nine-winged divine dragon in the sky roared.

Lu Zhou turned around and said, "Retreat."

Bai Zhaoju nodded and pulled Jiang Aijian before he moved 3,000 feet back in just a blink of an eye. He knew blood was going to rain down on the Endless Ocean soon like hell on earth.

As soon as Bai Zhaoju and Jiang Aijian retreated, the Golden Buddha's Body appeared around Lu Zhou before he stepped forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The Templars attacked with their swords and sabers in unison.

The Golden Buddha's Body shone around Lu Zhou, easily deflecting all the attacks. He was completely unharmed.

Upon seeing this, Xi Zhong said in a deep voice, "Lady Hua, let me do it!"

Xi Zhong flew out, looking like a streak of green light. He joined his palms together, and his eyes shone with murderous intent. In just a moment, green flames burned around his hands. Then, his hands moved to strike Lu Zhou's face.

Just as Xi Zhong's attack was about to land, Lu Zhou's divine mark robe fluttered, and the ancient Dragon Soul roared.

Xi Zhong's body trembled immediately, and his movement slowed down by a beat. He did not know when but at some point, a huge palm seal was already flying toward him.

Boom!

Xi Zhong felt as though he had been struck by lightning. His entire body was in pain. He flipped in the air and was sent flying back.

Hua Zhenghong was shocked. 'Just how terrifying is his cultivation?'

Xi Zhong was not convinced. He stabilized himself before he shot out like an arrow again as he joined his palms together. He spat out blood, forming a blood-red dragon. Then, he said in a deep voice, "Give me a hand!"

"Understood!" the ten Templars replied in unison. They channeled the power of the flag formation to Xi Zhong immediately.

Streaks of light entered Xi Zhong's body, boosting his strength immediately.

Swoosh!

The space in front of Xi Zhong began to tear as he shot toward Lu Zhou again.

Lu Zhou brought out Unnamed in the form of a shield expressionlessly.

Bam!

When Xi Zhong's palm seal collided with Unnamed, Xi Zhong froze. Even with his enhanced strength, he could not even push Lu Zhou half a step back.

Everyone looked at Lu Zhou in shock.

Xi Zhong glared at Unnamed before he said through gritted teeth, "This is just the beginning!"

Bzzz!

The space began to twist and ripple around Xi Zhong before he attacked again.

At this moment, Hua Zhenghong said, "Don't forget about me."

Following that, red lotuses fell on Lu Zhou. He held Unnamed with his right hand and his astrolabe with his left hand.

Boom!

Jiang Aijian's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "Damn it! Two versus one? When did Senior Ji become so fierce?!"

Bai Zhaoju raised an eyebrow before he asked, "Don't you know his identity?"

Jiang Aijian was puzzled. "I do, but his strength has yet to recover to its peak, right?"

"Hasn't recovered? Well, we'll find out if we continue watching. If he defeats Hua Zhenghong, then he must have at least seven light disks."

Soon enough, Hua Zhenghong brought one light disk out.

Lu Zhou raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Traitor, I'll get rid of you today."

"Hm?"

Xi Zhong and the Templars did not understand, but Hua Zhenghong understood. She trembled immediately. She was unwilling to accept this reality, but these words shook her heart.

'No! I refuse to believe it! He's just trying to scare me!'

The power from the light disk intensified suddenly as Hua Zhenghong said, "You destroyed my light disk back then. Today, I'll repay you for that!"

At this moment, Lu Zhou's body shone with a faint blue light. As his hair fluttered in the air, his eyes shone with a blue light as well. Once again, the ancient Dragon Soul roared. Electric arcs flashed on his body, and his power increased by many times. He had mobilized the power from the painting and entered the Unholy One's state again!

The four power cores in Lu Zhou's golden lotus provided him with surging power in just a blink of an eye.

"Scram!"

Lu Zhou pushed Unnamed out fiercely.

Boom!

The energy seal around Xi Zhong's hands broke immediately, and the tyrannical power crashed against his chest, causing him to vomit blood as he flew back.

Then, Lu Zhou raised his hand and grabbed Hua Zhenghong's light disk.

The space in the area twisted continuously.

The Templars were pushed back by the residual force alone.

Hua Zhengong, who was very familiar with the characteristics that manifested on Lu Zhou, widened her eyes in shock. She said tremblingly, "H-how, how could it be you?!"

Hua Zhenghong was truly afraid. She felt as though her heart had been seized by an invisible force at this moment. She felt uncomfortable, and even breathing became difficult.

Lu Zhou remained indifferent. He ignored Hua Zhenghong's question and pulled Hua Zhenghong's light disk down with his bare hands.

Crack!

The light disk broke.

Hua Zhenghong let out a heart-wrenching cry and withdrew her broken light disk before she turned to flee. She shouted as though she had lost her mind, "Stop him! Stop him!"

When the Templars saw Lu Zhou in the Unholy One's state, the fear from the past seized them.

"Unholy One?!"

"Is he the Unholy One?!"

"The Unholy One is back!"

The Templars fled in all directions.

Lu Zhou leaped up as Unnamed shifted into the form of a sword. A 3,000-foot-long energy sword shrouded Unnamed as Lu Zhou swung it in all directions.

The fleeing Templars were cut down by Unnamed, which had been imbued with the divine Dao power. Some of them were even cleaved into two.

The strongest among the ten Templars was just a Dao Saint. Let alone him, how could the others withstand Lu Zhou's attack?

At this time, only Hua Zhenghong and Xi Zhong, who was severely injured, were still fleeing.

Lu Zhou used the great power of teleportation. Coupled with the effects of the Unholy One's state, his speed was peerlessly fast.

Even Bai Zhaoju could not catch Lu Zhou's movement. He exclaimed in surprise, "So fast!"

When Bai Zhaoju recovered, he said to Lu Zhou, "Leave Xi Zhong to me!"

Upon hearing this, Xi Zhong turned around and pleaded in a trembling voice, "Y-your, Your, Your Majesty, please… please… no… no…"

"It's too late to beg for mercy now. I've been away from the Great Void for so many years that the world seems to have forgotten about my deeds in the past," Bai Zhaoju said.

Buzz!

Bai Zhaoju's avatar appeared again, towering between heaven and earth as it looked down at Xi Zhong.

All the blood drained out of Xi Zhong's face at this moment.

Meanwhile, Lu Zhou had already arrived above Hua Zhenghong. He said in a voice laden with disgust, "Beast."

Hua Zhenghong raised her head and called out, "Nine-winged divine dragon!"

The nine-winged divine dragon was Hua Zhenghong's only hope of escaping now.

The nine-winged dragon flew over and circled the sky above Lu Zhou.

However, Lu Zhou calmly threw out the Great Void Token.

The Great Void Token hovered in the air and emitted a brilliant light.

Then, Lu Zhou asked, "Why aren't you leaving?"

When the nine-winged divine dragon saw the Great Void Token, it flew around it twice before it quickly fled and disappeared into the horizon.

Hua Zhenghong's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. "The Great Void Token?! You're the one who killed Zui Can?!"

Lu Zhou flashed and appeared in front of Hua Zhenghong. He stared at her with his blue eyes as he said, "How dare you talk to me in this manner."

Lu Zhou quickly launched a palm seal over.

Hua Zhenghong raised her hand and unleashed a palm seal to counter the attack.

Boom!

Without any suspense, Hua Zhenghong was sent flying back as she threw up blood. She was completely dominated by fear at this moment and seemed to have lost her mind as she attacked in a frenzy.

Countless red lotuses filled the sky and circled Lu Zhou.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Lu Zhou did not move at all and allowed Hua Zhenghong to attack. After an unknown amount of time had passed, he finally asked tonelessly, "Are you done?"

Hua Zhenghong's breathing hitched.

Lu Zhou manifested his blue avatar.

Boom!

Hua Zhenghong, who had been hit by the blue avatar, vomited bloody uncontrollably.
