Chapter 626 The Realm of Profound Understanding
On Green Locust Mountain, almost all of Lord Huai's subordinates and servants fled to the nearby Demon City.
Only a few trusted and capable men remained in the mountains.
It wasn't that Lord Huai was being overly kind, or that he was afraid the aftereffects of the battle would affect others.
He suspected that there were other suspicious individuals hiding among them.
There are only a few people on the mountain now, and Huai Jun sensed the entire mountain but didn't find anything unusual.
As for the demon city at the foot of the mountain, it had a large population and many powerful figures, so he couldn't investigate them all.
Huai Jun looked at Lu Zheng, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
No matter how powerful or influential Lu Zheng is, he can't just stand there and take the beating in front of so many people.
Huai Jun wanted to see just what gave this young man his confidence...
As the thought crossed his mind, Green Locust Mountain suddenly trembled.
Countless tall locust trees in the mountains exuded a thick, eerie aura.
The continuous stream of demonic energy condensed into black mist, which enveloped the entire green mountain at a visible speed, and a demonic magic barrier was about to be formed.
Lu Zheng stood still, watching the overwhelming barrier descend upon him, without choosing to break free.
This is Huai Jun's home turf. If Lu Zheng chooses to fight in a different place, the other party may be wary and may not fight him to the end.
This is Huai Jun's lair. People have come to attack his home. Huai Jun is a famous and powerful demon in the area. Considering various factors, they have no choice but to fight.
Outside the green hills, many people had not yet left, looking at the Green Locust Mountain shrouded in darkness, each with a different expression.
How much skill must a powerful demon at the peak of the Profound Realm have to activate a barrier array on its own territory to defeat Lord Huai?
Even though Lu Zhengxiu possesses a strong sense of righteousness, many people do not believe that Lu Zheng will win.
Unless Lu Zheng really has a powerful background as rumored, and possesses a treasure to suppress demons.
Inside the demon city, an old man dressed in fine clothes had cold sweat dripping from his forehead.
Wang Shou's eyes showed fear. If he wasn't blind, the one who wanted to challenge Huai Jun was none other than the young master who had approached him a few days ago!
He even took money and eagerly helped people do good deeds, but Lu Zheng ended up causing this mess...
It's over, it's over... Wang Shou felt utterly hopeless.
Elsewhere, he stared intently at the dark Green Locust Mountain, his expression filled with doubt and uncertainty. What on earth was going on?
Just a few days ago, Lu Zheng seemed perfectly normal. Now, suddenly he's going to exorcise demons and monsters?
You can subdue demons and monsters all you want, but you come here and immediately target this powerful demon, even venturing into its territory...
Ku Xin couldn't help but glance at Yun He beside him and whispered, "Do you know what he's going to do?"
Yunhe said calmly, "I only know the general outline, so you don't need to worry about anything. It's not like you're going to risk your life."
He racked his brains, but he wasn't concerned about whether he should help or not; he was just shocked and couldn't understand Lu Zheng's actions.
Not only him, but many people present were also puzzled.
"Lord Huai has even activated the mountain barrier; he's getting serious!"
"I've heard that young man has an extraordinary background; he's a disciple of a sage..."
"real or fake?"
"Don't you know? The person who wants to fight Huai Jun to the death is..."
"I think we have to go. He really has the power to suppress Huai Jun. We might not be able to leave even if we wanted to later."
……
For a time, the demon was filled with unease.
Some monsters, upon learning of certain events, even stopped watching the play and fled in panic.
At this moment, in Qinghuai Mountain, Lu Zheng and Huai Jun were still facing off.
Huai Jun saw the solid barrier array and then stared at Lu Zheng, who had a calm expression.
From the very beginning, he couldn't detect the slightest change in Lu Zheng's expression.
Huai Jun waited for Lu Zheng's reaction, but even after the barrier was fully activated, Lu Zheng did not make any move.
Huai Jun took this lightly, underestimating Lu Zheng because he was just a young man.
"Favorable timing, advantageous location, and harmonious relationships. Which one do you think you possess?"
Lu Zheng suddenly spoke, and even the surrounding demonic energy dissipated somewhat as he spoke.
Huai Jun raised an eyebrow. He understood the implication in Lu Zheng's words: he didn't possess any of those qualities.
"As the sage said..."
Lu Zheng spoke slowly, his voice booming like a great bell.
Its sound has extremely strong penetrating power, and it also carries the righteous energy of heaven and earth, causing even the black barrier to be touched.
Huai Jun would not allow Lu Zheng to freely recite the words of sages there.
To a wicked demon like Huai Jun, the words of Confucian sages are like Buddhist incantations—pleasing to the ear.
Black demonic energy transformed into a torrent, with fierce gales sweeping and raging, sending sand and stones flying.
The howling wind drowned out Lu Zheng's voice.
Below, thick roots of demonic trees burst forth from the earth, resembling agile black dragons that surrounded Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng was surrounded by light, dispelling the dense demonic aura around him.
Holding Zhang Liang's mace, he exuded an imposing aura.
The hard iron hammer, imbued with the righteous energy of heaven and earth, carries a powerful momentum and strength with every strike.
Those tree roots, which danced like black dragons, couldn't even make a ripple under the iron hammer of justice.
These roots, imbued with malevolent energy, could not withstand the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and all crumbled and shattered, their vitality rapidly fading away.
Lu Zheng's figure flashed, and he continued to recite the text in a low voice.
Even though a lot of background noise drowned out his voice, it couldn't suppress the power of his words.
"Those who follow the Way receive much help, while those who stray from the Way receive little help..." Not far away, Huai Jun clearly did not hear Lu Zheng's chanting, but he still felt the voice echoing in his ears.
"Therefore, a wise ruler may choose not to fight, but if he does, he will surely win!"
In an instant, Lu Zheng's entire body shone with light, as if he had transformed into a bright sun, dazzling and radiant.
Bathed in white light, all evil spirits vanished.
The solid black barrier was reduced by one-tenth.
A long rainbow suddenly shot out and enveloped Huai Jun.
Huai Jun's eyes flickered slightly, and the demonic energy within his body surged, transforming into a substantial, thick barrier that blocked the rainbow.
The collision of two completely different forces resulted in an instantaneous and violent reaction.
The rolling waves trembled and rippled outwards, tearing through the air and producing a deafening sound.
The barrier surrounding Huai Jun was completely destroyed.
A strange light flashed in Huai Jun's eyes; the power of this Confucian righteous spirit was indeed remarkable.
Fortunately, as a powerful demon of the Tongxuan realm, he was a level higher than Lu Zheng and possessed strong demonic arts, allowing him to handle the situation with ease.
The next moment, Huai Jun waved his sleeve, and a small pagoda appeared in front of him.
This is a bone tower, an artifact crafted from the bones of countless living beings.
As Huai Jun's thoughts flashed, the bone tower instantly grew larger, transforming into a giant tower tens of meters tall, which enveloped Lu Zheng.
A powerful suppressive force spread towards Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng clearly sensed that his location had been locked by the white bone tower.
Seeing this, Lu Zheng remained calm, as if the sun and moon were flying out from above his head, radiating a mysterious power to resist the power of the bone tower.
Lu Zheng was given a brief respite before waving his hand dismissively.
A stone mountain appeared out of thin air, carrying the immense power of a mountain as it crashed into the giant tower.
The mountain collided with the bone tower, producing a dull thud.
The two enormous objects collided, and for a moment it was difficult to determine which was superior; neither could suppress the other.
The unusual phenomena of the sun and moon followed closely, using the pure power of the sun and moon to erode the power of the Bone Tower.
Huai Jun frowned as he watched; the methods of this human Confucian cultivator were quite different from what he had imagined.
How can it summon real sun, moon, mountains and rivers to be used as magical artifacts?
Moreover, Lu Zheng always used an iron hammer as a weapon, which was completely different from the Confucian cultivators he had seen or heard about.
But this young man actually made him feel a sense of danger.
The treasures that Lu Zheng took out possessed pure auras and were all extraordinary, even surpassing the quality of the magic weapons he had crafted.
With a thought, Huai Jun took the White Bone Pagoda to his side. Not wanting to damage his magic weapon, he used the continuous demonic energy from the mountain to suppress and wear down Lu Zheng.
Huai Jun said leisurely, "If this is all you're capable of, you should just give up!"
Seeing that Lu Zheng hadn't yet revealed any trump cards, Huai Jun didn't want to continue this entanglement.
Huai Jun's gaze sharpened, and the black barrier rippled violently.
An even more powerful aura enveloped the entire Green Locust Mountain, and under the immense pressure, even time seemed to slow down.
Apart from the demonic locust tree, all other vegetation on the mountain withered rapidly, its life force drained away by an invisible force.
That mysterious power still enveloped Lu Zheng, frantically eroding the righteous energy of heaven and earth surrounding him.
The greatest skill that Huai Jun possessed was to seize the life force of all things and cultivate himself.
Now he is directly using it against Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng remained calm; his life force was not so easily taken away.
Lu Zheng looked up slightly at the sky, his gaze piercing through the dark barrier and reaching the heavens.
"Ok?"
Feeling something amiss, Huai Jun couldn't help but observe the sky.
A bamboo scroll floats high in the sky.
The Grand Historian's bamboo slip unfolded rapidly, its inscriptions transforming into flowing light, and the vast righteous energy of heaven and earth emanated from it.
Between heaven and earth, faint sounds echoed.
It seemed as if someone was reciting poems and songs, or reading the writings of sages...
Countless demons, monsters, and other beings watching the play outside Qinghuai Mountain also heard the sound.
When the demons heard this sound, they felt uncomfortable all over.
"Wailing cries and blood-soaked cities, all for the sake of saving the common people..."
Then another remark resounded throughout heaven and earth, awakening the deaf and enlightening all.
Those who heard these words were all deeply shocked.
The sky was filled with changing clouds, and a seven-colored beam of light descended from the sky, piercing through the great array barrier and enveloping Lu Zheng within it.
Upon witnessing this scene, Ku Xin couldn't help but widen his eyes and utter such a grand vow, which resonated with heaven and earth.
Many people were shocked, as they had been wondering how Lu Zheng would break the barrier array on Qinghuai Mountain.
No one expected that Lu Zheng would actually borrow the power of heaven and earth directly.
Those powerful figures with profound cultivation knew that the barrier on the mountain was extraordinary and could not be broken by ordinary forces of heaven and earth.
At this moment, Lu Zheng was bathed in colorful energy, and his aura was even stronger than before.
"I have entered the Profound Realm..."
He looked at Huai Jun, his fighting spirit surging.
Disbelief flashed in Huai Jun's eyes. He had been waiting for Lu Zheng to use some trump card, but Lu Zheng did not use the power of others.
Now they can even directly communicate with heaven and earth, and advance to the realm of profound understanding, which is simply unbelievable.
