Who Let Him Cultivate?! (WX)-Chapter 612: One-Sided Suppression

Lu Yang paid no heed to the nonsense Zhu Yunwu was spouting. Raising his sword, he snickered. “What an arrogant junior. If you refuse to accept this, why not settle it through a duel?”

“Fine!” What do I, Zhu Yunwu, have to fear?! Not to mention that this Young Creed Leader Lu is an impostor; even if the real one were here, I wouldn’t be the slightest bit afraid!

Zhu Yunwu cut an imposing and handsome figure. His clothes were so bright they seemed to gleam white. Every part of his appearance was immaculately groomed, down to his neatly trimmed nails.

Some demon maidens who admired him screamed at the sight of their beloved.

“Big Brother Zhu is here!” The prodigies of the Demon Alliance were thrilled to see Zhu Yunwu making such a powerful entrance, his demeanor alone rivaling that of the young creed leader of the Heavenly Court Creed.

“Zhu Yunwu. Tch, why is he here?” Ao Yue clicked his tongue, reluctant to face him.

“Is this Zhu Yunwu very powerful?” Meng Jingzhou transmitted an auditory message to Jiang Shishi.

This was a moment that would decide the Phoenix Tribe’s fate. Jiang Shishi stared nervously at the altar, her palms sweating. Meng Jingzhou’s question temporarily diverted her attention. “Extremely powerful, even more powerful than me or Ao Yue! When he debuted, he wasn’t particularly remarkable. At best, he was on par with someone like Qin Feng, nowhere near me or Ao Yue.

But half a year ago, Zhu Yunwu appeared and challenged the prodigies of the various tribes one by one. Even Ao Yue and I were defeated by him.”

“He became that powerful so suddenly?”

Jiang Shishi shook her head. “It wasn’t sudden. I only learned afterward that he had been taken in as a disciple by Supreme Lord Zhu Tian since childhood. He was always powerful; his previous losses to Ao Yue and me were because he had been biding his time and concealing his abilities.

“Half a year ago, Supreme Lord Zhu Tian emerged and began operating covertly within the Demon Region to unify the demon race. That’s when Zhu Yunwu revealed his true strength!”

She sighed. “The personal disciple of a half-immortal is truly fearsome. In terms of innate talent, Ao Yue and I are no weaker than Zhu Yunwu. But his shifu is Supreme Lord Zhu Tian—this is where the gap lies. Supreme Lord Zhu Tian is a terrifying existence who rose during the glorious ancient era of prodigies and lived until now. His knowledge and experience likely surpass that of both my and Ao Yue’s shifu combined.”

~~~

Zhu Tian was more than willing to let Young Creed Leader Lu face his own disciple. This way, I can demonstrate the high standards of my tutelage.

The battle of establishing authority is now!

Zhu Tian voluntarily withdrew, ceding the space on the heavenly altar to Lu Yang and Zhu Yunwu.

The Dragon and Phoenix tribes and Jiang Lianyi did the same.

The once lively heavenly altar was left with only two individuals. All eyes were upon them. Everyone wished to know which of these two peerless prodigies was stronger.

Lu Yang drew his sword—the Yaoguang Sword, one of the Seven-Star Sword Set. It measured three feet and four inches, glistening with an inherent glow.

Zhu Yunwu let out a low cry and shifted into his original appearance—six legs and four wings. His steps were light, and his form was agile. He looked like he was dancing, leaving countless afterimages in his wake.

“That’s the Dijiang Tribe’s Stunning Swan Footwork! Moving like a stunning swan, stirring dragons and serpents from the land!” A demon elder recognized Zhu Yunwu’s technique. It’s said that this footwork has been lost to time, with nobody in the Dijiang Tribe capable of performing it. For the young Zhu Yunwu to do so, he must have been taught by Supreme Lord Zhu Tian himself!

Hundreds of thousands of sword qi surged upward from both sides of Lu Yang’s body, swirling with five-colored radiance. It was a breathtaking spectacle that illuminated the heavenly altar.

“Let me see just how formidable this sword cultivator famed for offensive prowess truly is!” Zhu Yunwu’s voice was icy and merciless, laced with a trace of mockery.

His footwork changed again, integrating the movement of his wings into his already nimble steps. His four wings became four swords, slicing through space and sweeping across the ninth level of the heavenly altar like a myth reborn.

Lu Yang answered with his sword. The hundreds of thousands of sword qi transformed into raging tidal waves, crashing down layer upon layer like a magnificent lotus in full bloom.

Boom!

In the clash of the two powerhouses, Zhu Yunwu was overpowered. He was sent flying backward, slamming squarely into the carved railing of the heavenly altar.

“What?!”

The crowd was astonished. Zhu Yunwu was defeated after just one exchange?

Meng Jingzhou looked at Jiang Shishi silently. “This is the fearsome Zhu Yunwu you spoke of?”

Jiang Shishi was dumbfounded, never imagining Zhu Yunwu to lose so quickly.

Zhu Tian was furious. What kind of joke is this? This wasn’t part of the plan! If Zhun Yunwu is humiliated, how do I still establish authority in this authority-establishing battle?

He activated his Incipient Dao Fruit, attempting to forcibly control Lu Yang.

To his horror, no matter how he tried, the other party seemed completely unaffected.

This brat isn’t under control at all!

What exactly are my subordinates doing? Using the Dijiang Command to control a Golden Core cultivator to impersonate Young Creed Leader Lu is such a simple task. Yet they still botched it?

The elderly Dijiang was dripping with cold sweat. He activated the Dijiang Command until it smoked, yet Lu Yang showed no signs of being controlled.

Lu Yang pressed his advantage, executing a sword mantra. The Yaoguang Sword emitted a resplendent stellar light, turning into a meteor that shot toward Zhu Yunwu, who had fallen at the edge. Lu Yang didn’t hold back; he had been going all out from the beginning.

Zhu Yunwu’s head was still spinning from the severe sword blow he had received earlier. Sensing danger, he instinctively rolled over. The Yaoguang Sword grazed past him. It was the closest of the closest shave!

Zhu Yunwu regained his clarity, but still couldn’t figure out what was happening. Wasn’t I told to just go through the motions? That the other party is an imposter and will surely be no match for me?

What was with that sword technique just now?

Damn it! Even the real Young Creed Leader Lu would probably be at this level! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

Zhu Yunwu was no pretty vase; his battle achievements had been earned through real combat. Although the current situation is outside the plan, now that things have already come to this, I will have to fight for real!

Knowing he could no longer hold back, he unleashed his full power. “Heaven-Treading Step!”

His six legs galloped, treading upon the sky. Each step was frighteningly heavy, causing even the space to shake. This was his strongest trump card, the ultimate move he had used to defeat Ao Yue. Realizing his opponent’s terrifying strength, he was clear that any probing or holding back would only be to his disadvantage. Thus, he decisively employed his ultimate technique.

Zhu Yunwu took two steps and hovered in the air, as if he was ascending an invisible staircase. This wasn’t achieved through spells or wings—rather, these two steps were so fast and heavy that they temporarily compressed the air into a solid state!

Lu Yang recalled the Yaoguang Sword. The sword qi hummed, dazzling in its colorful resplendence. He wielded all kinds of sword techniques effortlessly, a sight that would make even masters of Sword Dao feel ashamed.

The peerless prodigies of the human and demon race clashed once more. The sound shook the heavens, and light blazed intensely, like a sun exploding. In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged hundreds of moves, their techniques too rapid to follow with the eye.

Their contemporaries gasped at how terrifying and fearsome the two were. Only those Fusion cultivators who could clearly see the process of their battle understood that while Zhu Yunwu was indeed fearsome as a half-immortal’s disciple, Young Creed Leader Lu was even more terrifying—their combat was not an exchange of blows but a one-sided suppression, with Young Creed Leader Lu thrashing Zhu Yunwu!

What terrifying combat prowess this is!

Hundreds of thousands of sword qi swept across everything unbridled. Zhu Yunwu employed several ultimate moves, but it was all in vain. He simply could not withstand Lu Yang’s sword moves.

Even Jiang Lianyi inwardly sighed in amazement. Lu Yang’s talent in Sword Dao is far too fearsome.

Everlasting-jiejie doesn’t know sword techniques, which means Lu Yang’s sword techniques are either self-taught or guided by an expert.

If it’s the latter, that’s understandable.

But if it’s the former, that would be too terrifying.
