Chapter 147: Floating Snowflakes

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

A fight between a Heavenly Reflection cultivator and a Star Conglomerate cultivator was no real contest at all.

Yan Xiu stood in front of Fang Zhengzhi. The fan in his hand glowed with a rainbow light. He knew that only by working together would they stand a chance.

However, to Yan Xiu's surprise, Fang Zhengzhi pressed Yan Xiu's fan down softly, then pulled Yan Xiu behind him.

Yan Xiu did not understand.

The seven youths did not understand either.

”What is Fang Zhengzhi trying to do?”

Everyone was incredulous, Could he be trying to fight Lu Yusheng alone? Is he dumb, or insanely arrogant?

Fang Zhengzhi did not speak. He simply looked at the floating snowflakes silently.

More and more snowflakes flew in the air. Each one was glimmering in the air and they surrounded Lu Yusheng, the seven youths, Yan Xiu, and Fang Zhengzhi.

Yan Xiu was quite nervous, but, Fang Zhengzhi was calm and composed.

The seven youths were like spectators. If Yan Xiu did not attack, they would not need to waste any energy.

More and more snow gathered in the treasure hall, virtually filling up the entire hall.

The sneer on the seven youths became deeper and deeper. They could feel a strong suffocating force. This was Lu Yusheng's power, the power of Heavenly Reflection.

However, in actual fact, Lu Yusheng's expression was weird.

As he looked at the floating snowflakes, he was surprised, confused, and even slightly flustered. On some level, he could not believe what was happening.

Only he knew.

The snowflakes floating in the air were not all under his control.

”What's going on?” Lu Yusheng did not understand. He looked at the surroundings unconsciously. The snow was the same as before. Then, his eyes glimmered.

Is it the environment?

Lu Yusheng had just broken through the previous night. Furthermore, the conditions for his breakthrough were quite unique. As such, he had not adapted fully to his powers. The only possible explanation for the situation was the environmental factors.

”Why aren't you attacking?” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lu Yusheng silently, disdain, condescension and impatience written all over his face.

”Humph, I guess you really are dumb!” Lu Yusheng waved his hands and willed the snowflakes to move.

Almost like they were controlled by some energy, the snowflakes began to swirl, faster and faster, until finally, a blade-like icy chill blew out.

”Ah!” A voice screamed.

One of the youths grabbed his arm. There was a wound on his arm caused by the blade-like icy wind.

”Master Lu, what are you doing?” Another youth could not believe his eyes as he stared at the injured youth.

At this point, a knife like snowflake was flying towards him.

”Stab!'

The defenceless youth's face had a deep gash and blood flowed out. It was a bright streak of red amongst the white in the air.

”Master Lu, are you trying...” the other youths looked at their injured comrade. They unconsciously retreated, trying to get out of the snow storm.

However, the entire treasure hall was filled with snow, where were they going to go?

”What's going on? Why isn't the snow under my control?!” Lu Yusheng's expression changed when he heard the screams of the youth.

Only now did he feel that only a little bit of the snow was under his control, the rest of the snow...

Were like strangers.

Yan Xiu's expression changed. When he saw the snow swirling, he had already planned to attack, but Fang Zhengzhi had stopped him.

Then, he looked at Fang Zhengzhi

His expression was complicated. It was filled with disbelief and surprise.

At this point, Fang Zhengzhi also noticed Yan Xiu's gaze. However, he did not explain, he simply blinked at Yan Xiu

Then, he turned his gaze towards Lu Yusheng once again.

”Master Lu, you are indeed a man of your word. After you kill them, I will keep to my end of the deal!” Fang Zhengzhi's expression was calm. It was almost as if he was discussing something between friends.

”What deal? I... I didn't even attack them!” Upon hearing Fang Zhengzhi's words, Lu Yusheng stiffened. He simply did not know what Fang Zhengzhi meant.

But...

This did not mean that the others did not understand it.

After hearing what Fang Zhengzhi had to say, the seven youths looked at Lu Yusheng in horror. Even though they did not know what deal was struck, they understood what was going on.

Lu Yusheng was going to kill them!

”Master Lu need not act any longer. Now, the treasure hall is in our control. Later, I will fulfill your wish, but, we can't let too many people know about it!” Fang Zhengzhi continued.

Lu Yusheng's expression changed. He knew what Fang Zhengzhi was trying to do. Fang Zhengzhi was clearly trying to sow discord and cause internal conflict!

”Don't believe him, I have no reason to attack you all!” Lu Yusheng felt a need to put a stop to this. After all, having an enemy at his back was not a good idea.

Then...

Just after Lu Yusheng finished, yet another youth screamed. Five to six gashes of blood appeared on the youth's chest.

Each gash was deep and to the bone.

In the air, blood stained snowflakes continued to dance about like demons.

The seven youths panicked.

They did not want to believe Fang Zhengzhi, but yet, they had to accept the facts. Lu Yusheng was the only one in the Heavenly Reflection State.

This was a well established fact.

Only Lu Yusheng could control the snowflakes.

Lu Yusheng's expression changed. Naturally, he knew what he was doing. Since he wasn't controlling them, why was there another person controlling the snowflakes?

This notion kept floating around Lu Yusheng's mind.

He unconsciously noticed Fang Zhengzhi's faint smile.

”Could it be...”

A notion flashed by Lu Yusheng's mind. However, he crushed it quickly. That was impossible.

After training for so many years with help from countless treasures and the teachings from his ancestors, he was still stuck at the pinnacle of the Star Conglomerate State.
