Chapter 194: Challenging Three Golden Essence Elders

“Is that all you can do? Run?” Lin Jue was getting frustrated as he simply could not keep up with Zhou Donghuang’s speed. Of course, he was well aware that based on his speed, if he chose to directly fight him, he was most likely not Zhou Donghuang’s rival.

Speed was also dependent on inner Yuan. The fact that his opponent was faster than him signified that his inner Yuan was also stronger than his.

“Run?” Hearing Lin Jue’s words, Zhou Donghuang stopped immediately. Faced with the ferocious onslaught from Lin Jue, he stood stationary as he easily fended off the attacks. He looked calm as if he was not exerting at all. Despite the repeated attacks from Lin Jue, all his efforts were easily defeated by Zhou Donghuang.

Lin Jue was so furious that he almost vomited blood. This little monster, where had he come from? Although he was just a Silver Essence adept, his inner Yuan was so strong that it was even so much stronger than his as a Golden Essence adept?

“If I did not see it with my own eyes, who would have believed that… a Golden Essence adept would be unable to defeat a Silver Essence adept.” The crowd of disciples of Divine Light Sect could not help but mutter.

“This young man, where did he come out from? Do they exist in Ziyun planet?” Many people were shocked by Zhou Donghuang’s strength.

“From the start, he has just been defending and running, he has not taken any action against Distinguished Elder at all… what does he mean? Does he look down on him?”

“If you did not mention it, I would not have noticed that he really has not taken any initiative against Distinguished Elder.”

…

Soon, many people noticed that Zhou Donghuang had not attacked at all.

“Father, Brother Donghuang… why isn’t he attacking?” Chen Yong could not help but ask Chen Yan.

Before Chen Yan could reply, Tuo Ku had already turned to Chen Yong in shock. “Yong’er, you… call this Zhou Donghuang ‘Brother’? You know him?” Tuo Ku was stunned that his grandson knew Zhou Donghuang?

“Father, we only just met Brother Donghuang,” replied Chen Yan awkwardly with a smile. “In fact… I was the one who brought him here. Father, I have not introduced you… this is Brother Donghuang’s sister, Miss Yun Lu. As for this flying beast, this is Little Gold, this is Brother Donghuang’s…”

Just as Chen Yan introduced Yun Lu to Tuo Ku and was about to introduce the golden-crowned eagle Little Gold, he realized that he had no idea how to introduce it.

“Brother! I am Young Master’s brother!” Little Gold finished for him.

Tuo Ku felt like he was becoming faint. Zhou Donghuang had been brought to the Divine Light Sect by his son? Wasn’t that like inviting a wolf into the house?

Furthermore, Zhou Donghuang had only just met him and he had already left his sister with him, wasn’t he afraid that the Divine Light Sect would take his sister hostage? Thinking of this, Tuo Ku looked at the figure in white in the distance and thought to himself, “Perhaps… he is simply not worried that we would dare to take his sister hostage.”

Just as Lin Jue could not seem to break through the defenses of Zhou Donghuang, his expression darkened and a scream rang through the distance.

“Zhou Donghuang!!” A loud voice rang through the crowd, and soon the sound of three figures rushing through the air was heard by the crowd from the Divine Light Sect. As the crowd turned to look, they saw two old monks in golden robes standing shoulder to shoulder with the Divine Light Sect leader, Tuo Jin, standing behind them.

“The Right Shield!”

“The Right Shield is here!”

“Beside the Right Shield… could that be the Left Shield?”

“My goodness! The Left Shield… he hasn’t appeared before anyone in many years, right?”

…

The new arrivals were none other than the leader of the Divine Light Sect, Tuo Jin, the Right Shield, Ci Xuan, and the Left Shield of the Divine Light Sect, Ci Yun.

Ci Yun looked even paler than Ci Xuan. His body was frail and thin, but his eyes were kind. He looked like an ordinary old monk who had one foot already in the grave. Despite that, the faint golden glow that surrounded him revealed the truth that he was a formidable Golden Essence adept.

Amidst the cheers of respect from the crowd that had gathered, Ci Xuan, Ci Yun and Tuo Jin finally arrived at the scene where Zhou Donghuang and Lin Jue were dueling.

By this time, Lin Jue had already taken the opportunity to back away as he came alongside the three of them and greeted Ci Yun and Ci Xuan. As for Tuo Jin, even though he was the sect leader, Lin Jue only slightly nodded his head at him.

On the other hand, Tuo Jin greeted Lin Jue respectfully with a bow.

The man who had called Zhou Donghuang just now was none other than Ci Xuan. “Zhou Donghuang, I never thought… in two years, you would have such power.”

What a joke! An ordinary Golden Essence adept would not be able to play around with Lin Jue like that.

“Since you are all here… all of you can come at me together.” Zhou Donghuang ignored Ci Xuan as his eyes landed on Lin Jue, then Ci Xuan and Ci Yun as he spoke calmly.

Challenging all three Golden Essence adepts at once! As his words rang out, everyone turned dead silent. Not a single person had thought that Zhou Donghuang would say something like that. Challenging all three Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect at one go?

Soon, the crowd broke into chaos.

“Crazy! He’s crazy!”

“He really thinks just because he can take on one Distinguished Elder, he will be able to challenge all three Golden Essence elders of our Divine Light Sect in one go?”

“Even Ci Xuan is stronger than Distinguished Elder, and Ci Yun is even stronger than Ci Xuan. In fact, Ci Yun is said to be almost at the Dharma stage!”

…

Not only were the elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect shocked by Zhou Donghuang, but even the father and son duo of Tuo Ku and Chen Yan were shocked too.

Was Zhou Donghuang insane?

Although he could easily handle Distinguished Elder, but the Left Shield of the Divine Light Sect, Ci Yun, could do the same! In fact, that was referring to the Ci Yun of the past. Now, he was definitely stronger than before. After all, Ci Yun had been so determined to attain the Dharma stage that he had been practicing without any distractions for the past few decades, and his level of skill was surely nothing that Lin Jue could compare to.

“If only I can be like Brother Donghuang in the future… how cool would that be?” Chen Yong’s eyes were fixed on the figure in white as if he was a die-hard fan looking at his idol.

“In your dreams!” Yun Lu laughed. “Brother is the one and only of his kind, nobody can be like him!”

Chen Yan said to Little Gold, “Little Gold, Brother Donghuang might be too cocky… our Divine Light Shield, Ci Yun, is not any weaker than he is. Do you think we should advise him?”

“Just three old fellas who are almost in their graves, how can they be any match for my Young Master?” Little Gold replied arrogantly. He was firm in his belief in his young master.

Chen Yan had nothing to say to that. It seemed that not only the lass Yun Lu, but even this flying beast had been completely brainwashed by Brother Donghuang.

At the same time, hearing Zhou Donghuang’s words, Lin Jue’s expression darkened. Ci Yun was furious as the anger was clear in his face, while a glint of coldness also flashed in the depths of Ci Yun’s kind eyes.

“Such arrogance from you, young lad.” Ci Yun flew out and stood face to face with Zhou Donghuang. “But, since you requested it… let us grant you your wish. Only then will you understand that there is always someone stronger than you!”

In that instant that the words left Ci Yun’s mouth, Ci Xuan and Lin Jue flew out together and stood on both sides of Ci Yun.

“I give you the time of three breaths to produce your strongest blow,” Zhou Donghuang ignored Ci Xuan as he said flatly.

“What arrogance!” Now, despite Ci Yun’s good temper, he had been angered too. The golden glow about him expanded, and the faintly glittering golden inner Yuan now became a golden fiery glow. Ci Xuan and Lin Jue had also been so agitated that their inner Yuan radiated strongly from them.

At the same time, Ci Yun produced a four-inch-long dagger, while Ci Xuan produced an Exquisite Hill in his hands. As for Lin Jue, he did not have any weapons. For Primal Core adepts, besides spirit weapons, other weapons were all burdens and were not useful.

“The three elders are furious.”

“How can they not be? This Zhou Donghuang is so arrogant!”

“I just hope that his arrogance is founded… otherwise, he is most probably going to die here today.”

…

The crowd of elders and disciples of the Divine Light Sect were mostly of the opinion that Zhou Donghuang was no match for the three Golden Essence elders combined. In the Ziyun planet, the three elders together could defeat anybody if they combined forces!

“Now!”

On Ci Yun’s command, not just his body moved, but the inner Yuan of the dagger in his hands also expanded and became a shimmering blade that flew towards Zhou Donghuang. Ci Xuan and Lin Jue followed closely behind.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

…

Ci Yun and the knives flew out towards Zhou Donghuang.

Boom! Boom!!

…

Ci Xuan acted as the Exquisite Hill in his hands floated in the air above Zhou Donghuang, falling down towards him with the weight of a thousand tons.

Lin Jue’s inner Yuan crystallized into a sword that sliced through the air, straight towards Zhou Donghuang’s eyes as if it was about to kill him with one strike.

The three big Golden Essence elders of the Divine Light Sect acted together. Both Ci Yun and Ci Xuan used their spirit weapons. Although Lin Jue did not use a spirit weapon, his power was still enhanced when he combined forces with Ci Yun and Ci Xuan.

Time seemed to stop in that instant.

Everyone watched on, transfixed by the sight even if some of them were not able to catch the swiftness of the movements. Those who were able to perceive the movements analyzed the situation, while those who were not able to see the quick movements were simply there to watch the commotion.

“The three elders attacking together… if he is able to block that… in Ziyun planet, as long as there are no Dharma adepts, he will be the most powerful person on the planet!” Although the thought seemed incredible, Chen Yan could not help but imagine.

If anyone else from the sect had known what was going through Chen Yan’s mind, he would have been reprimanded by all of them.

You, Chen Yan, are the twelfth elder of the sect, is that right?

You, as the father of Chen Yan, are the sixth elder of the sect, is that right?

And you, the son of Chen Yan, who is also part of the sect, is to the right of you?
