Chapter 51: Punishing Evil to Avenge the Thunder; Immortal Zhang, your punishment!

"What do you mean 'dead, dead'? What nonsense are you talking about!"

Luo Zhou couldn't help but curse!

But in his heart, he already believed Zuo Sanguang.

"It's true, Brother Luo, you have to believe me!"

"Speak. What exactly happened?"

"Do you remember that Immortal Zhang?"

Luo Zhou nodded; it turned out to be about him.

"Give me the details."

"That old bastard isn't human. He wants to kill us all. Li Zexi was originally only heavily injured and shouldn't have died, but he was killed by him in secret."

Luo Zhou's expression changed drastically; he was gradually guessing what was happening.

"More than four people have died from our three classes. In Class Two, Shizhi and Zhang Lei were both killed by him. Di Dong from our class was also killed by him. All three of them had ways to hide in Great Xuan Mountain to avoid the sea beast siege, but he caught up to them and killed them on the mountain. Anyone who was injured or tried to leave, he would silently strike and kill them. He has only one goal: once the sea beast siege ends and everyone returns to class, he will wipe us all out in one go!"

Luo Zhou nodded slightly. Zhang Youzhi was capable of such a thing; it was also the most efficient solution.

Regardless of who the Jellyfish Holy Son was or how he hid, as long as he was among the sixty-one people from the three classes, he would kill them all. Better to kill wrongly than to let one escape!

This dog was ruthless. If he killed everyone, he could enjoy his divine abilities in peace; everyone would forget him, and no one would know it was him. He might even kill Dean Zhao as well. Once the teachers were dead, no one would know he had ever been there. He would return to the sect, mission accomplished, and as for the innocent people who died, they were just dead.

Luo Zhou gritted his teeth and said, "That dog, how despicable!"

Suddenly, he looked at Zuo Sanguang and asked, "Are you the Jellyfish Holy Son?"

Otherwise, why did he know so much?

Zuo Sanguang shook his head and said, "Don't insult me. The Jellyfish Holy Son is nothing more than withered bones in a tomb. I am an ancient descendant from Mount Taixuan; don't insult me like that! A sect that has long since collapsed is not worthy of being compared to my Taixuan lineage!"

He seemed to look down upon the Jellyfish Heavenly Palace with utter disdain.

Luo Zhou nodded; Zuo Sanguang likely wasn't lying. As for being an "ancient descendant of Mount Taixuan," the guy was just a sissy who loved to brag!

Mount Taixuan? Wasn't it Great Xuan Mountain?

"Brother Luo, you must be careful. As long as you stay away from the Dao Academy, you won't be his next target. This dog comes and goes without a trace, is unrecognizable when met, and kills invisibly. It's terrifying!"

"I understand. Can you still play games today?"

"What time is it, and you're still thinking about playing? I'm not doing well lately. I sense him every day, and my spirit is withering. I can't play games."

"Alright then, next time!"

Luo Zhou hadn't expected that after coming to the Dao Academy and learning of Zhang Youzhi's purpose, he would realize just how ruthless this man truly was.

Zuo Sanguang went to one side to cultivate. Luo Zhou sat in the classroom for a while, but having nothing to do, he decided to head home. He prepared to leave the Dao Academy and walked toward the main gate.

Suddenly, Luo Zhou felt a sensation; his "Omniscient Intuition" kicked in.

He did not leave, but instead turned toward the Sutra Pavilion behind the Dao Academy. The Sutra Pavilion housed various books and was one of the core areas of the academy. It was originally guarded by Immortal Wang, but with the great war raging, Immortal Wang had also joined the fray. The doors were merely locked, and there was no one guarding it. The books were not secret manuals, just ordinary books that could be purchased with money.

Luo Zhou headed straight for the Sutra Pavilion. Upon reaching the gate, he lightly touched the iron lock, and it clicked open. He stepped into the pavilion.

The first floor of the Sutra Pavilion was vast, spanning nearly seven zhang in diameter, with rows of bookshelves neatly arranged containing tens of thousands of volumes.

In a corner of the pavilion, Zhang Youzhi sat in a chair, flipping through a handwritten book. Seeing Luo Zhou enter, he merely smiled and didn't spare him a second glance. Under the divine ability "He Zizai" (Self-Existence/Freedom), even if Luo Zhou stood right in front of him, Luo Zhou would be unable to perceive him.

With this ability, Zhang Youzhi could roam the seas; even without comprehending spiritual energy characteristics, he was nearly invincible, able to kill whoever he wished.

He pondered whether he should kill Luo Zhou here. But he shook his head. What was the rush? He would wipe them all out eventually; killing all the students of the Dao Academy wouldn't be delayed by a couple of days. This kid looked quite pleasant; he'd let him live for two more days!

The supporter behind Cuiling City, Perfected Master Cuiling, had been in seclusion for many years; it was uncertain if he would ever emerge alive. Perfected Master Yujing was merely here to retire and wait for death, so he was negligible. Once he killed Dean Zhao as well, under the shroud of his divine ability, who would know he had been here? When the Dao Academy eventually collapsed, the government would blame the sea beast catastrophe to avoid responsibility; what would it have to do with him? Even if the truth came out and he was charged, his great merit in killing the Jellyfish Holy Son would be enough to clear his name. At worst, he would just be fined a few hundred spirit stones.

Zhang Youzhi didn't care about Luo Zhou at all; in his eyes, Luo Zhou was merely an ant.

Luo Zhou stepped into the pavilion, took out his Universe Bag, and whispered, "Dragon Fang!"

He carried a heavy iron mace on his back, which contained three Dragon Slaying Spikes. However, the iron mace was not like the Qi Mei Staff; being made of heavy iron, it would affect his throwing accuracy. He also couldn't take them out in front of him, as it would alert the opponent; it was better to take them directly from the Universe Bag.

"But why am I taking out the Dragon Slaying Spikes? I'm the only one here..."

Under the influence of "He Zizai," Luo Zhou began to doubt himself.

He walked slowly toward the bookshelves, appearing to head straight for a specific book!

"Why did I come here?" "There are no books I want to read here." "I took the wrong path, I should go back!" "How did I end up here?"

One step, two steps—it was the pace of a demon...

In the blink of an eye, Luo Zhou was less than three zhang away from Zhang Youzhi...

Luo Zhou smiled!

At this moment, he completely emptied himself. His heart held no thoughts, no desires, and no distractions. By doing so, he broke through Zhang Youzhi's "He Zizai" ability; when one has no "self," there is no "self" for the ability to hide.

And at this moment, what controlled Luo Zhou was his Omniscience!

Cold, ruthless, all-encompassing Omniscience!

Under the sensation of Omniscience, it felt as if there was someone at that specific position.

That was enough!

Instantly, Luo Zhou pulled all ten Dragon Slaying Spikes from his Universe Bag. He activated the Dragon Slaying Spike divine ability, unleashed the strength of nine oxen, and threw!

The Universe Dharma Eye locked on!

But it couldn't lock on; there was nothing there, no one. If there was no one, then there was no one—essentially, it was just that position! Being affected by the ability, the position was ignored and impossible to estimate.

Omniscience activated to resist the influence. It was that position. Estimation successful!

The Dragon Slaying Spikes were thrown!

Activating his innate spiritual method, Luo Zhou became incredibly agile, throwing with both hands. Left hand, right hand, then left, then right... Under his innate spiritual method, his hands were infinitely dexterous!

All ten Dragon Slaying Spikes were thrown. Previously, he could only throw one, but now things were different! This was the benefit of cultivation; a person grows stronger bit by bit!

When Luo Zhou emptied himself, it was exactly what Zhang Youzhi feared most. He became instantly alert. Then, seeing Luo Zhou pull out ten Dragon Slaying Spikes, he couldn't help but scream, activating "He Zizai" while simultaneously pulling out a Talisman Treasure...

But it was already too late!

In a mere instant, ten streaks of light erupted from Luo Zhou's hands, crossing time and space simultaneously. Along with the light of the spikes, there were waves of infrasound following them—a rattlesnake strike, three hits in one!

In the void where Luo Zhou perceived the target, brilliance flashed.

The light of virtue shines like the sun and moon; the strike of evil is like thunder!

At that moment, Zhang Youzhi's defensive artifacts were passively activated, and his life-bound jade plaque automatically provided protection...

Then, blood splattered, limbs flew, organs were exposed, and finally, his head fell...

Everything was too late. This time, Luo Zhou did not aim with his eyes but used fuzzy positioning. In an instant, all ten Dragon Slaying Spikes struck Zhang Youzhi.

As long as they hit, it was enough!

Break the artifact protection, break the life-bound jade, break the protective spiritual energy, break the tempered physical body—shattering him into pieces. Death!

Looking at the shattered remains and Zhang Youzhi's head, which died with eyes wide open, Luo Zhou said slowly

"Zhang Youzhi of the Heavenly Dao Sect: ruthless and cruel, killing the innocent, bullying the weak, and committing countless evils. He must be punished!"

"He who commits much injustice shall surely perish!"
