Peerless Taoist

Once Qin Lushan defeated Lu Yu, it would be the same as stepping on Lu Yu and becoming the most popular genius in the Heaven Realm.    

As for Lu Yu, if he was challenged as soon as the Imperial Examinations ended, he would very likely become the laughingstock of the entire Heaven Realm.    

Even Lu Yu's Dao heart would be affected, and he would never be able to recover from this setback.    

This was also the reason why the Chief of the National Supervisors went into seclusion after his defeat. Therefore, Xu Tiangang took over as the Chief of the National Supervising Department and avoided a direct confrontation with Qin Lushan.    

"Not good, we've all fallen for his trick!"    

Chai Longxiang thought to himself that something was wrong.    

The best way to deal with this was to force Qin Lushan out when he first arrived to avoid fighting Lu Yu.    

This way, even if someone said that Lu Yu was afraid of a fight, they could use the inconveniences of the banquet to cover it up.    

But now, since Lu Yu had agreed to Qin Lushan's challenge, it was already too late.    

If Lu Yu avoided the battle now, it would truly be shameful. Even the Jade Cauldron Academy would not allow such a person to be the first seat.    

Many people looked at Qin Lushan's appearance and felt that he was just a martial artist who only knew how to challenge, but in reality, it was not the case.    

This was a very insidious scheme. If one did not have enough wisdom and courage, one would definitely not be able to think of it.    

Boom!    

Under everyone's gaze, the killing intent on Qin Lushan's body gradually expanded. Finally, it converged to a peak. He just stood there without moving and the surrounding temperature was already due to the black dragon phantom on his body. It began to rapidly decrease.    

In just a few breaths of time, several blocks of solid ice had formed in front of Qin Lushan. These pieces of ice kept colliding with each other, creating loud banging sounds.    

"Come and receive my palm. Let me see just how strong you are!"    

Qin Lushan gave a long roar. Suddenly, his entire body took a long step forward. As he took a step forward, cracks appeared on the floor tiles beneath his feet.    

From his body, the nine coiling black dragons instantly flew out. Each of these nine black dragons was lifelike. It was as if they were real, and they howled madly. Cold energy was constantly released from their bodies, spreading out in all directions.    

Boom! Boom!    

A loud explosion was heard from Qin Lushan's body. The black dragons that had been circling around his body followed his palm energy and flew towards Lu Yu.    

A powerful force was unleashed in an instant. At this moment, many of the disciples beside him couldn't even open their eyes. They could only retreat and barely withstand the terrifying pressure.    

Bang!    

Qin Lushan's palm heavily landed in front of Lu Yu.    

This palm strike covered a large area. With Lu Yu as the center, all the tiles within a radius of dozens of meters were forcefully sent flying into the air by this enormous force. They flew into the air and gradually turned into dust.    

The surroundings were instantly filled with dust. Lu Yu's body was also engulfed by the flying dust.    

"Master Lu!"    

Many disciples cried out in alarm and prepared to rescue him.    

Just as they were about to step forward, they were stopped by the Chameleon Elephant.    

"Don't go over. Before the result is out, no one is allowed to go over!" The Chameleon Elephant shouted in a deep voice.    

He knew very well that if these disciples were allowed to go there, then the news of Lu Yu's defeat would be confirmed.    

Even if he didn't lose, with the participation of these disciples, the final victory would be unjustified.
