C374 A Man of Ambition
It was impossible for Zhang Chu to stand at the front line at all times. Therefore, letting Zhao Tang command could be considered as training his combat experience and laying down a foundation for the future.
Lyu Zhou, who stood opposite of him, noticed that Zhang Chu naturally gave the 'authority' to Zhao Tang. He could not help but sigh with envy.
Although Lyu Zhou was extremely loyal to the Lu's Sect, he felt sad when he thought about the immaturity of the sect leader.
Fine!
Today, his life would be lost here, and the past would never be revealed!
Lyu Zhou took a deep breath, and his eyes were unprecedentedly solemn. He said cleanly, "Do you still remember the tactics I taught you?"
"I remember!" The disciples of the Lu Family said in unison.
"Okay!" A fierce look flashed across Lyu Zhou's eyes. "Team two, team three, long-range attack, team one defense! "Begin!"
Under extremely unfavorable circumstances, Lyu Zhou still chose to take the initiative to attack. He adhered to the principle of "attacking is the best defense.
However, Zhang Chu was very interested in 'long-range attacks'.
One had to know that Qi Refinement Stage cultivators were unable to circulate their true qi outside their body, so there was no way to talk about 'long-range attacks'.
However, Zhang Chu knew that Lyu Zhou could not do it without a reason, so he quickly perked up.
Under Lyu Zhou's command, the second and third teams of Lu Family disciples stepped hard on the ground.
The strength that could be displayed when one was in the Qi Cultivation Stage was still shocking. There were more than sixty disciples in the two teams, and the force of their stamp shook the ground into the air. Immediately after that, both groups of disciples stretched out their hands and grabbed the stones in the air. With all their strength, they threw the stones towards the Azure Dragon Hall.
Throw stones?
This kind of comical tactic made Zhang Chu's eyes shine!
The power of the Qi Refining stage was enough to accelerate these stones to an astonishing degree. Speed determined power. Thus, these small stones that could be seen everywhere were as shocking as bullets.
Moreover, it wasn't just throwing them once. It was a continuous throw, once it was 60 stones, twice it was 120 stones, three times it was 180 stones...
Looking at the 'rain of stones' pouring down like a rainstorm, Zhao Tang did not slack off at all and shouted in a low voice: "Scatter!"
As soon as his voice faded, the fifty disciples spread out in all directions.
Pilipala stones smashed onto Zhao Tang's body. Zhao Tang didn't even bother to dodge. These stones were obviously lethal to Qi Condensation cultivators. When they hit Zhao Tang's body, they had no effect other than turning into powder.
"Free throw!" Lyu Zhou hurriedly ordered.
The Lu Clan disciples who were throwing at the same time changed their direction. Each of them stared at an Azure Dragon disciple and threw at him with all their might.
In order to avoid the stone attack, the disciples of the Azure Dragon Clan could only run around, unable to get close to the Lu Clan disciples.
At this moment, Zhao Tang's voice sounded.
"Sparrow Hawk Battle!"
With an order, the fifty Azure Dragon disciples ran around the disciples like wild horses, their only task was to avoid the attacks of the stone rain.
Sixty disciples of the Lu Clan attacked ten disciples of the Azure Dragon, and it was utterly impossible to do it flawlessly. Once the disciples of the Azure Dragon obtained a chance to catch their breath, they would immediately return the favor by picking up the stones from the ground and fiercely smashing them towards the disciples of the Lu Clan.
They were both at the Peak of Meditation Stage. The disciples of the Lu Clan had to dodge the same might!
However, once they dodged, they would either hurt the disciples behind them or break the formation.
Thus...1
The disciples of the Lu Clan could only resist!
And the result of taking it head on was that their bodies were directly pierced through by a rock. Even if they didn't die, they would still be heavily injured!
In comparison, the Azure Dragon disciples were not affected by the 'formation', and they would use guerilla warfare to dodge, flee, and counterattack. On the contrary, they would have an advantage.
This battle, which should have been filled with blood and fire, had actually turned into throwing stones at each other.
Zhang Chu was surprised and excited because in his opinion, Lyu Zhou and Zhao Tang being able to adapt to the situation and choose the best tactics was something worthy of respect. Zhang Chu himself could also learn a lot from this.
Lyu Zhou looked at his tactics. Not only did it not work, but Zhao Tang found out about it and sold it. He took the initiative and did not feel depressed or angry. Instead, he immediately gave the following orders.
"Ten against one, break them one by one!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the disciples of the Lu Clan immediately followed his orders. Each of the ten disciples formed a unit and focused their attacks on one of the Azure Dragon disciples.
Ten disciples, throwing ten stones would be equivalent to a hundred stones.
Facing the densely packed stones, the Azure Dragon disciple was unable to dodge effectively. Soon, one of the Azure Dragon disciples was hit in the right leg.
"Eh!"
The Azure Dragon disciple grunted. He lowered his head to take a look and discovered that his right leg had already been 'penetrated' by the rocks, causing blood to flow incessantly.
As his right leg was injured, the Azure Dragon disciple's speed was greatly reduced. He was hit several times in a row. His right arm and left shoulder were all bloody holes.
As a result, the Azure Dragon disciple completely lost his ability to move. He limped and fell to the ground. Facing the dense rain of stones, he was powerless.
Just as the Azure Dragon disciple was about to be smashed into meat paste by the rain of stones, Chen Teng appeared beside him in time. He used his body to protect the Azure Dragon disciple and resisted the rain of stones. Only then did he save the Azure Dragon disciple.
On the other hand, the disciples of the Lu Clan were in an even more miserable state.
After all, the result of concentrated attacks was that the remaining Azure Dragon disciples could focus all their attention on attacking.
The disciples of the Lu Clan almost killed one of the Azure Dragon disciples, but the price they paid was over twenty disciples of the Lu Clan being 'killed' on the spot!
Chen Teng carried the injured Azure Dragon disciple to Zhang Chu's side and laid him flat on the ground. He raised his head to look at Zhang Chu and said apologetically, "sect leader, I really can't help it..."
Zhang Chu gently nodded his head. He praised: "You did the right thing. Since our brothers have joined the Extreme Profound Sect, we naturally have to take care of their lives. Any disciple is a rare treasure of the Extreme Profound Sect."
Chen Teng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
The injured Azure Dragon disciple's eyes turned moist. He was once a disciple of the Tianluo Sect, and was also the 'cannon fodder' that the Tianluo Sect had abandoned. He had never been treated as an adult. At most, he was just a tool.
Now that he had joined the Extreme Profound Sect, not only had his strength increased rapidly, the sect leader had also treated these 'underlings' as his own brothers.
The Azure Dragon disciple was filled with gratitude. At the same time, he felt somewhat ashamed. "sect leader, I'm useless..."
Zhang Chu squatted down and patted the Azure Dragon disciple on the shoulder. "You have already tried your best. Besides, the battle is ever-changing, and anything can happen. When you stand up for the Extreme Profound Sect, you are already the hero of the Extreme Profound Sect, and it has nothing to do with success or failure."
Not only was the Azure Dragon disciple touched, the other disciples were also incomparably excited. With the sect leader, the battle would naturally become even more heroic.
Some people were happy, while others were sad.
Lyu Zhou, who was standing opposite of them, sighed again. Apart from envy and jealousy, he could only lament that he had followed the wrong person.
