Chapter 757: Chapter 757: The Lu Family’s Ancestral Patriarch, Injuring Someone as Soon as He Emerges!

Spiritual power clashed with demonic power, emitting a cacophony of harsh, dissonant noises.

Yuzhou City was just an ordinary city for martial artists, and although its walls were thick and sturdy, they couldn’t withstand the chaotic currents of these two forces.

Under the impact of the turmoil, cracks quickly appeared in the city walls, and when Chu Zhongtian unleashed a powerful sword strike, his spiritual power bursting forth, the beast also summoned its demonic power!

In an instant, an even greater force surged towards the city.

The city wall collapsed with a thunderous crash, bricks shattering and the ground trembling, opening up chasms as though the earth itself was splitting apart!

Inside the city, countless ordinary martial artists, just like the disciples of Qingyun Sect had once done, rushed out from their hiding places.

Seeing the enormous beast roaring in the wind, they were all stunned still, as if turned to stone.

But when they saw Chu Zhongtian floating in front of the beast, his agile body darting through the streams of demonic power, and engaging in a battle encompassed by a golden glow, they were filled with excitement, shouting the words "Celestial Master" continuously!

Only a supreme celestial master could tread upon air!

We are saved!

This thought crossed almost everyone’s mind.

But as time went on, they gradually realized that Chu Zhongtian seemed to be evenly matched with the beast, and perhaps even slightly at a disadvantage.

They didn’t understand the Nine Arts of the Immortal Law, but they could still discern the situation; Chu Zhongtian was fighting as he retreated, clearly not in a winning position.

"Brother Zhao, it seems that Celestial Master Chu... is in trouble!"

The Lu Family, which occupied a high position in the city, was showing signs of distress as Lu Wuyi spoke to Zhao Chang.

"Trouble or not, there’s nothing we can do but wait," Zhao Chang replied, opening his eyes to look towards the distance before closing them again.

"Brother Zhao, aren’t we going to help?"

Lu Wuyi said subconsciously.

"Help? How can we help? Do you know Immortal Techniques or Spells? There’s nothing we can do; we just have to wait here!"

This time, Zhao Chang didn’t even bother opening his eyes.

"Wait... wait for Celestial Master Lu’s return?"

Lu Wuyi let out a sigh and asked.

Zhao Chang opened his eyes again, smiling, "It’s also possible that we’re waiting to die!"

As they spoke, a busy commotion suddenly arose from the Lu Family’s rear courtyard.

The two of them hastily looked in the direction of the noise, only to see the members of the Lu Family surrounding an elderly man with white hair, making their way toward them.

Lu Wuyi took a sharp breath and hesitated for a moment before rushing over.

"Lu Wuyi of the third branch of the Lu Family pays respect to the Elder Ancestor!"

The elderly man slowly lifted his head, and a glimmer of sharpness flashed through his clouded eyes.

"You are Lu Wuyi?"

His face was a landscape of wrinkles, and he looked as if one foot was already in the coffin, yet his voice was full of vigor and profoundly resonant.

His tone was devoid of emotion, as if Lu Wuyi was no kin of the Lu Family.

Before Lu Wuyi could answer, the Elder Ancestor suddenly struck from afar with a palm, hitting Lu Chenyi in the chest as if struck by a heavy blow. Lu Chenyi was sent flying backwards for over thirty feet before he heavily landed on the ground, spitting mouthfuls of fresh blood.

"Zhao Chang? The affairs of my Lu Family are not for outsiders to dictate! You and Lu Changkong actually schemed against my Lu Family, hmph!"

After striking true with one hit, the Elder Ancestor turned his attention to Zhao Chang, who was leaning against a column, and without further ado, struck out with another palm!

"Bang!"

Zhao Chang met the same fate as Lu Wuyi.

However, he was indifferent at heart, never struggling against the inevitable.

"An outsider daring to interfere with my Lu Family?"

The Elder Ancestor looked at him dismissively before turning his gaze toward the distance.

At that moment, Chu Zhongtian had landed on the ground to conserve his spiritual power and the Elder Ancestor didn’t see anyone flying outside the city.

He just saw the huge, oddly shaped ancient beast and couldn’t help but be momentarily stunned.

"Elder Ancestor, that beast is extremely terrifying. We should leave quickly!"

"Yes, Elder Ancestor, now that Yuzhou City is destroyed, we should hurry and leave!"

"Elder Ancestor, you go first. We will cover your retreat!"

Seeing Lu Wuyi and Zhao Chang unable to speak, many began to express their thoughts, their words and expressions supposedly considerate of the Elder Ancestor, yet in reality, they sought to curry favor with him.

They had witnessed with their own eyes how Lu Chen killed Lu Changkong from afar.

And they had also seen how the Elder Ancestor struck Lu Changyi and Zhao Chang into the air.

With their limited perspective, they assumed that their realms were equivalent.

If that were the case, what reason was there to fear Lu Chen?

And Chu Zhongtian, who followed Lu Chen, must be even weaker in comparison.

"Leave? What would we leave for? Should I abandon the remnants of my Lu Family, letting a tiger return to its mountain?"

The Lu Family Elder Ancestor squinted his eyes and sat down cross-legged, seemingly indifferent to the ancient beast outside Yuzhou City, as if it were nothing of concern.
