Chapter 141 - I’m Not a Pushover
Zhu Honggong fidgeted as he stood rooted to the ground. He was hesitating, truly reluctant to go out and meet his opponent.
Yu Zhenghai, on the other hand, seemed calm as though he was waiting to watch a good show.
‘Crying won’t solve the problem. If I can’t defeat them, I can always run away!’ With these thoughts in mind, Zhu Honggong coughed softly twice. He looked at the subordinate next to him and said, “Fight by my side!”
Perhaps, Zhu Honggong’s subordinate did not register Zhu Honggong’s words, or perhaps, the habit had been deeply ingrained in his mind, he said instinctively, “Gang Leader, quick! To the back of the mountain!”
“What do you mean to the back of the mountain? We’re going to fight!” Zhu Honggong said before he kicked his subordinate.
The two of them walked out of the stronghold.
Yu Zhenghai stood up calmly and trailed after them with his hands on his back. There was nobody inside the stronghold, and he was bored. It was better for him to head out and watch the happenings outside.
Just as Zhu Honggong’s subordinate had reported, the Righteous Sect’s flying chariot was outside of the Tiger Ridge, hovering several meters in the air.
“I’m always impressed by your vast knowledge, Eldest Senior Brother,” Zhu Honggong said.
Whizz!
At this moment, the flying chariot was right above Tiger Ridge.
The Octagon Formation was also completed.
The Primal Qi around them surged. The resulting gusts of wind stirred the cloud.
Under the effect of the Octagon Formation, the Primal Qi condensed into energy!
A huge vortex appeared above Tiger Ridge.
When an elder from the Righteous Sect saw this, he hastily cried out in alarm, “This is bad! It’s an Octagon Formation! Avoid it! Avoid it now!”
The flanking cultivators channeled their Primal Qi with all their might to move the flying chariot.
Yu Zhenghai nodded and said, “They’re not too dumb. They know when to run.”
“Eldest Senior Brother, why does it seem like you’re on their side?”
Yu Zhenghai smiled and said, “If you stall any longer, the flying chariot will be out of your Octagon Formation’s range. You’ll be wasting the Primal Qi your Formation has amassed over the years.”
Zhu Honggong understood what Yu Zhenghai meant. He stomped his feet and shot into the air above the Octagon Formation at lightning speed.
“Eighth Junior Brother… I know you’re in the Divine Court realm. Don’t hold back your strength!” Yu Zhenghai reminded Zhu Honggong with his hands on his back.
Under Yu Zhenghai’s watchful eyes, Zhu Honggong grabbed at the air and seemed to catch the energy in the air.
Energy surrounded the huge vortex.
Zhu Honggong successfully caught all the Primal Qi within the Octagon Formation.
“Nine Tribulations Thunderblast!”
The energy was tinged with the color of lightning.
Unlike Lu Zhou’s Thunderblast, Zhu Honggong’s Nine Tribulations Thunderblast was formed by condensing Primal Qi into energy and subsequently creating an illusion of lightning from the rapid friction of the energies!
“Interesting! Eighth Junior Brother, use the Octagon Formation and raise your Nine Tribulations Thunderblast to its full force!”
Zhu Honggong held onto the energy as if it was a dragon. He shouted, “Break!”
The flying chariot was struggling to free itself from the vortex.
Unfortunately, Zhu Honggong’s attack was already upon it.
“Scatter!” The flanking cultivators had no choice but to disperse and dodge the attack within the Octagon Formation!
Boom!
Zhu Honggong landed a hit on the flying chariot!
Energy flowed about turbulently, dancing in the air like snowflakes being scattered.
How could an Evil Sky Pavilion disciple with only a cultivation base in the Divine Court realm be a villain in his own right? This was the answer.
The several thousand of Tiger Ridge Gang members poked their heads out to look at the shocking attack. They were awed by the dazzling and magnificent display.
Without the protection from the cultivators’ energies, this attack damaged the Formation lines on the flying chariot.
Clack!
It cracked!
The flying chariot teetered precariously in the air. It had lost its mobility.
At this moment, the members of the Tiger Ridge Gang shouted in unison, “All hail the mighty Gang Leader!” They had never seen Zhu Honggong display such impressive strength. This attack had greatly boosted the Tiger Ridge Gang members’ morale!
Zhu Honggong stood within the Octagon Formation and spoke in a deep voice, “It’s not over yet. I said that I’m not a pushover.”
Meanwhile, the Righteous Sect’s cultivators quickly deserted the flying chariot when they realized it could no longer move.
