Reborn as a lotus, she initially refuses to hand it over to the state.

However, he quickly realized what was happening.

Although his punch just now was nominally just a test, he had used all his strength after all.

If the Lord of the Azure Lotus does nothing, it would make Black Dragon Mountain appear too weak.

Thinking of this, Zhou Zhenshan did not back down.

He took a deep breath, and the blood and energy in his body, which had just calmed down, began to circulate again.

Golden-red light rose up from all around again.

Although Chu Zhou easily neutralized that punch, he was still the first sixth-tier expert in the Dragon Kingdom.

Since Chu Zhou is going to make a move.

Then he accepted.

In the center of Heilong Lake.

The eight green lotus leaves of Chuzhou unfold.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, nor was a massive blue lotus dharma image summoned.

One of the roots emerged from the lake bottom and slowly stretched into the air.

Seeing this, Zhou Zhenshan's expression became even more solemn.

On the lakeshore, Lu Cang clenched his fists, while Su Wan and Ming Jue held their breath, knowing how terrifying Zhou Zhenshan's punch had been.

The Lord of the Azure Lotus simply raised a single lotus leaf, and all the power was neutralized.

Now it's Chu Zhou's turn to take the initiative.

No one knows just how powerful this attack will be.

The little wild boar poked its head out from behind the mountain goose.

It stared at the rising root and whispered, "Lord Bird, is the Demon Lord going to punish him?"

Little Jinbao ignored it.

A pair of golden eyes stared at the sky.

Although it had absolute confidence in Chu Zhou, this was, after all, Chu Zhou's first real attack after breaking through to the seventh rank.

It wanted to see too.

Just how powerful has the master become now?

Just when everyone thought that the root would strike Zhou Zhenshan directly.

Chu Zhou made no other unnecessary movements; his roots simply remained suspended in mid-air.

The bluish-silver root hung there quietly, looking quite ordinary.

But the more this is the case, the more likely it is to happen.

The sense of danger in Zhou Zhenshan's heart grew stronger.

He had just witnessed Chu Zhou's methods firsthand.

Naturally, they wouldn't consider this just an ordinary root.

Zhou Zhenshan took a deep breath.

The body's Qi and blood circulate wildly.

The previously dimmed golden-red domain expanded once more.

hum!

A phantom sun appeared behind him.

However, it was noticeably dimmer than when he had just used the Great Sun Sea-Suppressing Fist.

After all, that punch had already consumed most of his strength.

even so.

The aura of a sixth-tier powerhouse was still incredibly oppressive.

Zhou Zhenshan crossed his arms in front of him.

Golden-red blood energy continuously condensed.

Ultimately, it transformed into nine layers of thick light curtains, enveloping his entire body.

Seeing this, Lu Cang breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This is one of the strongest defensive techniques that Zhou Zhenshan has only recently come to understand.

Ninefold mountain wall.

In the battle of Donghai Port, Zhou Zhenshan relied on this newly mastered technique to forcefully block the Black Tide King's frontal assault.

Although the consumption is huge now.

However, as long as Chu Zhou doesn't go all out, he might be able to withstand it.

Su Wan was not as optimistic as Lu Cang.

Her gaze remained fixed on that root, and from beginning to end, she sensed no seriousness from Chu Zhou.

It didn't feel like facing a sixth-tier expert; it felt more like casually shooing away an insect that flew right in front of him.

"Ready?"

Chu Zhou's voice rang out.

Zhou Zhenshan stared at the blue lotus in the center of the lake and said in a deep voice, "Come on."

"Then I'll take it."

The words fell.

Chu Zhou's mind stirred.

The silvery roots in mid-air finally moved, but without any of the dazzling movements I had imagined.

With just a light sweep, the air above the entire Black Dragon Lake exploded simultaneously in the next instant.

Boom!

A thousand-meter-long cyan arc of light stretched across the sky and earth. Before its roots had even truly landed, terrifying pressure had already enveloped Zhou Zhenshan's entire body.

Zhou Zhenshan's expression changed drastically.

that moment.

He felt that he was not facing a single root, but an entire mountain range, sweeping towards him at an unimaginable speed.

The surrounding space completely froze.

The surrounding spiritual energy was completely cut off at this moment.

He tried to dodge, but found that his body was completely immobile, and he could only watch helplessly as the cyan arc of light continued to grow larger.

"Block them!"

Zhou Zhenshan roared.

The remaining qi and blood in the body erupted without reservation.

The nine-layered golden-red light curtain instantly shone brightly.

The next second, the blue silver roots fell down.

The strange phenomenon on the mountain wall shattered instantly, just like glass.

In an instant, the entire Ninefold Mountain Wall collapsed. Zhou Zhenshan's pupils suddenly contracted, and before he could react, the Azure Silver Roots had already struck his crossed arms.

boom!

A muffled thud.

Zhou Zhenshan felt his arms instantly lose all feeling.

An irresistible force slammed through his arms and struck his chest.

In an instant, his internal energy and blood became out of control.

Zhou Zhenshan spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying backward like a ball.

boom!

The golden-red domain exploded into countless points of light in mid-air, and Zhou Zhenshan's body turned into a blur.

In the blink of an eye, it flew from the sky above Black Dragon Lake to the distant mountains and forests.

Strangely, the trees along the way did not break, the rocks did not crumble, and not even a single leaf was blown away by the blast wave.

A stream of blue water constantly enveloped Zhou Zhenshan's body.

It both prevented him from stopping and completely isolated all the dissipating power.

Finally, Zhou Zhenshan crashed heavily onto an open area several kilometers away from Heilong Lake.

The ground trembled.

A cloud of dust rose into the sky.

A deep pit, tens of meters in diameter, appeared in the mountains and forests.

Zhou Zhenshan knelt at the bottom of the pit.

His arms were trembling slightly.

Blood kept spilling from the corner of his mouth.

His combat uniform was torn in several places.

However, he was not fatally injured, because at the last moment, Chu Zhou withdrew most of his power.

Otherwise, that single whisker would have been enough to shatter Zhou Zhenshan's body.

Around Heilong Lake.

A deathly silence fell instantly.

Lu Cang froze on the spot.

He stared at the billowing smoke and dust in the distance, unable to react for a long time.

Director Zhou, you got slapped away?

The first sixth-tier powerhouse in the mighty Dragon Kingdom.

After unfolding the nine layers of the mountain wall.

It couldn't even block a single whisker from Chu Zhou.

Lu Cang felt his throat go dry.

The last glimmer of hope that remained in my heart shattered completely at this moment.

He finally understood that, from beginning to end, the Lord of the Azure Lotus had never truly regarded Zhou Zhenshan as an opponent.

That attack just now was less of a battle and more of a casual lesson.

Su Wan was also stunned. She knew Chu Zhou would win, and she also knew that there was a big gap between the two sides.

Even though I witnessed Zhou Zhenshan being flung thousands of meters by a single whisker, my heart was still filled with shock and horror.

That's a sixth-tier item.

It is currently the most powerful evolved being in all of humanity.

It is the same entity that intercepted the Black Tide King at Donghai Port just three days ago.

But in front of Chu Zhou, she still seemed to have no ability to resist. Su Wan subconsciously looked at the center of the lake, where the root had already fallen back into the water.

Eight lotus leaves swayed in the breeze.

It was as if nothing had just happened.

This understatement is more terrifying than any earth-shattering phenomenon.

Mingjue's mouth was slightly open, and he didn't close it for a long time.

"Master, Director Zhou just flew away like that?"

Fakong's gaze fell on Chu Zhou's true form. After a moment, he exhaled and said, "Amitabha. If the Lord of the Azure Lotus had any murderous intent just now, Director Zhou would already be dead."

The little wild boar poked its head out from behind the mountain goose.

It looked at the large pit in the distance, then at the roots that had sunk back into the lake. After a long while, it suddenly jumped up and exclaimed excitedly, "It flew! It really flew! Bird Master, I was right! The Demon Lord really used a single root to whip it away!"

The little wild boar was so excited that it kept jumping around on its four short legs.

The pig's tail swung like a windmill.

Little Jinbao also raised his head.

Although it was also stunned by Chu Zhou's attack, it certainly couldn't show it in front of its other family members.

It coughed lightly, feigning calmness, and said, "What's the big deal? Master just casually flicked it."

"If we were serious, that human would have been gone long ago."

The little wild boar nodded repeatedly, agreeing, "Master Bird is right, Lord Demon Lord is invincible!"

After saying that, it shouted at the top of its lungs into the distance, "Hey Zhou, I told you to stay away!"

"You wouldn't listen, now you know how powerful the Demon Lord is!"

Lu Cang's face darkened instantly.

He turned to look at the little wild boar, which shrank back in fright and quickly hid behind the mountain lord.

But soon, it poked half its head out again and muttered, "Human, why are you glaring at me? It's not like I'm the one who sent him flying."

The surrounding ape demons immediately grinned.

The tense atmosphere eased slightly because of the little wild boar's words.

Just then.

A muffled boom came from the distant mountains and forests.

Zhou Zhenshan stood up from the deep pit, his arms still trembling and his chest heaving.

However, the recovery ability of a sixth-tier expert is extremely strong, and in a short while, the chaotic aura gradually stabilized.

Zhou Zhenshan looked up at Black Dragon Lake, his eyes showing no anger or humiliation after defeat, only deep shock.

In that brief moment, he could clearly sense that Chu Zhou was willing.

That root could easily have shattered his physical body along with the Ninefold Suppression Mountain Wall.

But Chu Zhou didn't do that, not because he blocked it, but because the other party deliberately held back.

Zhou Zhenshan moved.

Returning to the shore of Black Dragon Lake, his aura had completely subsided compared to before, and he no longer showed any intention of probing.

Zhou Zhenshan looked at the blue lotus in the center of the lake and solemnly cupped his hands, saying, "I have lost. The strength of the Blue Lotus Lord is enough to control the natural water veins of Lingnan. I accept all the conditions we agreed on in the Ninth Round."

Lu Cang's body trembled.

Even Zhou Zhenshan suffered such a complete defeat.

What right does he have to object?

In the center of Heilong Lake.

Chu Zhou said calmly, "Remember this attack today. I don't like being challenged. This time, for the sake of cooperation, I will spare your life. Next time, it won't be as simple as just flying out."

Zhou Zhenshan said solemnly, "I understand."

Chu Zhou did not press the matter further.

Eight more blue-silver lotus leaves fell.

The terrifying pressure that had enveloped Black Dragon Mountain dissipated at that moment.

However, for everyone, from this day forward, after this battle, no one can underestimate the Azure Lotus Forbidden Zone.
