Scarlet-red Genesis Qi whizzed forth, seemingly transforming into a burning fist. The howls of flame devils echoed from within as it ferociously blasted towards Luluo with violent, overwhelming might.
Luluo gritted her teeth as she thrust her hand forward, Genesis Qi surging with a piercing hiss.
Bang!
The two clashed directly. Zhu Ying ended up nimbly drifting backwards, why Luluo was violently shaken, staggering back several steps before steadying herself. Her bright and clean face was flushed red, the Qi and blood in her body clearly churning uncontrollably.
“Tch tch. You seem to be only so-so without that Genesis Beast.” Zhu Ying let out a pleasant sounding laugh.
Luluo’s face turned green with fury. She had many skills and techniques, but all of them needed the cooperation of a Genesis Beast to release their greatest power. However, due to her mistake, Little Frost had been trapped at the beginning of the battle.
“If that is all you have, there will be one less apex level genius in your Cangmang Continent today.” Zhu Ying seemed to sigh regretfully, but the smile on her lips was exceptionally cold.
Swish!
Her body shot forward once again, scarlet-red Genesis Qi erupting from her body like a volcano, the rippling wave of heat that ensued causing tree after tree to burst into flames.
She was like an avatar of fire as she charged towards Luluo, fingertips flickering with a cold inhumane light yet incomparably hot at the same time.
“You think I’m scared of you?!” Zhu Ying’s overbearingness caused Luluo’s temper to flare. She gritted her teeth as her Genesis Qi began to stir, intending to accompany this woman all the way.
Just as she was about to move however, a figure blocked her from the front.
She looked over, only to be stunned. “Zhou Yuan?”
She immediately hastily said, “Leave quickly, that crazy woman is very difficult to deal with!”
Although she knew that Zhou Yuan had stepped into the Heaven Gate stage, he was after all only at the initial level, while Zhu Ying likely had the strength of the quasi Alpha-Origin, strength that was even greater than Xiao Tianxuan’s.
It was obviously impossible for Zhou Yuan to be her match.
Zhou Yuan waved his hand. “You go find a way to free Little Frost, let me deal with this woman.”
Without Little Frost’s aid, there were many techniques that Luluo was unable to use. In her current state, she would not be Zhu Ying’s match.
“You…” Luluo was somewhat hesitant.
“Hehe, are all you Cangmang people so arrogant? To think that a mere initial Heaven Gate dares to obstruct me.” Zhu Ying was pretty amused by this scene, but the light flickering within her eyes was full of ridicule.
“Since you want to play the hero, I shall grant your wish.”
Zhu Qing laughed in a mocking manner. Scarlet light swirled around her body as her red hair danced, making her look like a flame devil. Her hands clenched tightly, before she sent out a punch.
Bang!
The air exploded, while the fist winds cut deep scars in the ground below her feet.
This punch could easily create a hole in an advance Heaven Gate stage practitioner.
There was no fear in Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he watched the ferocious attack rapidly approach, but instead a surge of burning excitement.
“Quasi Alpha-Origin huh… I do want to see just how strong that is.”
“Magical Python Scales!”
Zhou Yuan’s five fingers also clenched into a fist. Dark gold Genesis Qi rushed out of his Qi Dwelling, covering his body while golden Magical Python Scales appeared on the surface of his hand.
“Grade 3 Genesis Rune, Black Gold Hand Rune!”
As Zhou Yuan shouted in his heart, a black luster appeared over his scale covered fist, giving off an aura of invincibility.
Zhou Yuan’s figure was akin to an arrow that had been released, rocketing forward as he tore through the air. A punch was sent out without the slightest shred of hesitation, smashing straight towards Zhu Ying’s own.
“Reckless fool!” Zhu Ying mocked. This was the first time she had seen an initial Heaven Gate practitioner dare to clash directly against her.
“Zhou Yuan!” Luluo could not help but cover her eyes.
“Dragon Tablet Hand, Break the Sky!”
At the instant of impact, Zhou Yuan’s fist seemed to become slow and heavy as power rippled outwards, shaking the air and fissuring the ground.
The power of this punch was not only enhanced by Genesis Qi, but also the golden Magical Python Scales and the grade 3 Black Gold Hand Rune. Its might was ferocious to the extreme.
Boom!
Two fists containing dreadfully terrifying force slammed into each other.
A muffled boom filled the surroundings. The world seemed to fall silent for an instant, before a shockwave of devastation unfurled. The surrounding ground began to crumble inch by inch. Rocks torn to pieces, while tree after tree disintegrated into splinters that filled the sky.
The entire place was now in a complete mess.
Luluo looked towards the site of the clash, only to see Zhou Yuan and Zhu Ying’s figures taking a dozen steps backwards.
Zhu Ying’s face had become extremely ugly. Luluo’s gaze swept over the former, discovering a huge bruise on her hand, while fresh blood dripped from her fingertips.
In comparison, several of the golden scales on Zhou Yuan’s fist had been shattered, but he had not sustained any injuries.
It was obvious that Zhou Yuan had taken the upper hand in the earlier exchange.
Luluo was so shocked that her tiny mouth hung wide open.
Zhou Yuan’s fingers slowly relaxed as the golden scales receded. He lifted his gaze and looked towards the grim-faced Zhu Ying as he softly chuckled and said, “Although you are a quasi Alpha-Origin…”
“If we talk about hardness, you’re not as hard as me.”
Chapter 168 Meeting Once More
In a devastated forest.
Zhou Yuan slowly relaxed his fist. His opponent had not managed to gain even the slightest advantage in their previous clash.
Evidently, when Zhou Yuan activated the golden Magical Python Scales and the grade 3 Black Gold Hand Rune, he gained the power to face a quasi Alpha-Origin head-on.
“Hey, fight properly, stop being a vulgar hoodlum.”
While Zhou Yuan was secretly being pleased with himself, Luluo’s voice was suddenly heard from behind.
Zhou Yuan was stunned, confusion on his face as he looked towards the blushing Luluo, who was currently glaring at him. “Aah??”
A red faced Luluo seriously said,“The other party is a girl, how can she compare hardness with you?”
Zhou Yuan immediately felt as if he had been blasted by lightning till his outsides were charred black and his insides turned to mush. Green and white interlaced on his face, stupefied as he stared at Luluo. It was a long while later before his anger finally overwhelmed his embarrassment as he yelled, “Shut up!”
He was clearly talking about the hardness of their fists. How had Luluo twisted things so far!
Luluo made a funny face as him. He was the one being vulgar, why the need to be so fierce.
Nearby, Zhu Ying had also heard Luluo’s words, immediately causing her already ugly face to twist even more, while her ripe chest heaved in anger as if it was about to explode.
“Bastard, I’m definitely killing you today!” Zhu Ying’s shout was trembling with white hot rage.
Boom!
Scarlet-red Genesis Qi burst out from her body like raging flames. The ground below began to melt, emitting an extremely terrifying heat.
“Scarlet Devil Hand!”
With a thought from Zhu Ying, the scarlet-red flame like Genesis Qi turned into a giant flaming hand that viciously swatted down onto Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan did not dare to delay, dark gold Genesis Qi dashing out from the top of his head to form a dome.
Boom
boom!
The flaming hand continued its ferocious swatting, causing the dark gold Genesis Qi dome to tremble without end. However, although the latter kept rippling, it was ultimately able to endure and was not broken by the flaming hand.
After about a dozen swats, Zhu Ying gradually regained her cool, a sliver of graveness entering her eyes.
The previous exchange had already told her that this seemingly initial Heaven Gate youth was not simple at all.
The latter’s Genesis Qi was plentiful and concentrated, far surpassing that of the initial Heaven Gate stage. In fact, it was comparable to the advance Heaven Gate stage.
Moreover, the dark gold Genesis Qi was definitely extremely high grade, hence it did not seem to falter even in a direct clash of Genesis Qi like this.
“Humph, I don’t believe that I, Zhu Ying, can’t even handle a heaven Gate stage like you!” Zhu Ying’s anger had been roused again. With a grasp of her hand, a fiery-red fan appeared within it.
The surface of the fan was filled with fire like patterns, and every feather burned with raging flames, evidently retrieved from a fire-type flying beast of sorts.
“Try my Five Birds Blaze Fan!”
Zhu Ying’s hand jerked as the feather fan fanned, releasing a giant wave of fiery-red Genesis Qi. The Genesis Qi transformed into magnificent flames that began to cover the sky, like a rain of fire as they bombarded Zhou Yuan.
Every drop of fire concealed volatile undulations that would explode and release an enormous destructive force upon contact.
The rain of fire seemed to engulf Zhou Yuan as the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand began to grow. With a jolt of his arm, the snow-white hairs extended outwards and weaved around him, forming a shield.
Bang! Bang!
The rain of fire clashed with the shield made from hair, resulting in a violent explosion that seemed to incinerate even the surrounding air.
The explosion lasted for a brief moment, turning the snow-white hairs a glowing red.
However, the tip of the brush shook as the hairs returned, swiftly recovering to their normal state.
Although the current Heavenly Yuan Brush was only a Black Genesis Weapon, the materials it was made from were extremely amazing. Hence, it was impossible to burn the brush hairs.
After blocking the fire rain, Zhou Yuan did not politely wait for his opponent’s next move. His body swiftly shot forth, snow-white hairs once again taking the shape of a lotus bud, swift as lightning as it thrust towards Zhu Ying.
Clang!
Zhu Ying’s fan blocked horizontally with its surface as her lips parted, spitting out a ball of fiery-red Genesis Qi at Zhou Yuan’s face.
Dark gold Genesis Qi rushed out of Zhou Yuan’s nose, blocking the fire ball.
Clang clang clang!
The exchange between the two was lightning quick, brush tip and side of the fan meeting time and time again with metallic clangs as sparks spluttered. Every attack of both individuals was ruthless, but every one was blocked by the other party.
While the two were locked in battle, Luluo arrived at the trapped Little Frost’s side, her small hand reaching out as astonishing cold Qi began flowing out from Little Frost’s body, attacking the fiery-red whip.
Luluo said through gritted teeth, “Crazy woman, I’ll show you my awesomeness after I free Little Frost.”
Zhu Ying sensed Luluo’s actions, causing the former’s eyebrows to furrow as a surge of annoyance rose within her. She had originally thought that she would be able to easily deal with Zhou Yuan. Who could have imagined that he would turn out to be so powerful, making it such that she was unable to extract herself instead.
If Luluo managed to free the ice bird, the addition of their combined might would make Zhu Ying’s side fall into a perilous situation.
“I need to finish off this brat!”
A determined and ruthless look flitted across her eyes. Soon after, her figure suddenly backed away, tightly gripping the fiery-red feather fan as she sucked in a deep breath, cold light flashing in her eyes. “Little Heaven Genesis technique, Five Birds Fire!”
She bit the tip of her tongue and spat out essence blood that landed on the fan before sending out a powerful swing.
Cackle!
Scarlet-red flames rose, transforming into a ball of fire. Above the fire ball, one could faintly see five birds dancing in the air. Runes of light also drifted around it as an astonishing heat wave rippled.
The appearance of the fire ball bathed the entire forest in an aura of scorching heat, making it feel as if it would burst into flames at any moment.
Zhou Yuan’s expression turned extremely grave. The ball of fire was akin to a volatile compressed mass of overwhelming destructive power. Let’s not mention the Heaven Gate stage, even a quasi Alpha-Origin would be instantly burned to ashes if hit by it.
Zhu Ying was indeed someone with ability.
Luluo also sensed the disturbance and hastily shouted, “Zhou Yuan, quickly retreat! That’s a little Heaven Genesis technique, its power is insane!”
Zhou Yuan did not budge. The Genesis Qi under his feet rose him into the air as his expression turned serious. Five fingers stretched outwards as lightning suddenly leaped from his palm.
“You should also have a taste of my little Heaven Genesis technique!”
Battle lust surged in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. This was the first time he was going to use the technique after learning it, which made him very interested in just how powerful it was going to be.
Pchla!
Wind and lightning gathered on Zhou Yuan’s palm. Genesis Qi pulsed a dozen breaths later as a several inch wide green black lightning ball appeared in his hand.
“Great Wind and Thunder!”
Rumble!
Zhou Yuan’s arm was flung and the green black lightning ball rocketed forth with a rumble.
In the next instant.
Fire and lightning ball clashed.
Boom!
An indescribable storm of energy unfurled, the air cackling with both fire and lightning. The forest in a hundred feet radius was turned into a barren land, while the ground was scorched black...
Zhu Ying’s figure appeared. Her current appearance was rather miserable. She had been caught up in the aftermath of the attack earlier, the berserk shockwaves shaking the Qi and blood in her body, casing a trace of blood to appear at the corner of her mouth.
“He should be dead with this, right?” Zhu Ying gritted her teeth as she looked to her front.
The dust gradually settled. However, Zhu Ying’s face turned ugly once again. Zhou Yuan’s figure remained unmoved from the spot, though a turtle shell like shield of light had appeared in front of him. It was this light shield that had defended Zhou Yuan against the shockwaves.
“Good going Zhou Yuan!”
Luluo cheered nearby, her large eyes filled with astonishment. She never expected that Zhou Yuan’s strength would rise to this level when they met again.
Zhu Ying’s strength was surely no less than her own. Even so, the former was unable to take any advantage in the fight.
It was obvious that Zhou Yuan had grown very rapidly ever since entering the Saint Remains Domain.
Zhu Ying bit down on her teeth in anger, nearly cracking them in the process. She stared at Zhou Yuan as she raised an eyebrow and muttered, “Zhou Yuan? Now that I think about it, this name is rather familiar…”
After some thought, she finally remembered.
“So you are Wu Huang’s mortal enemy, that Zhou Yuan?”
Zhu Ying let out an icy chuckle. “So this is where you were. Good, your enemy is also here. I will call him over to play with you!”
The moment the final word left her mouth, she waved her hand as a ball of fire flew into the sky. The ball exploded, sending out a peculiar undulation.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly when he saw this. Wu Huang was also here?
Not long after Zhu Ying sent out her signal, Zhou Yuan heard the sound of rushing win
d swiftly speed towards them. In the end, he saw the fog far away ripple as two figures slowly walked out.
One of them was wearing golden robes. It was Wu Huang.
The other was dressed in black, and even his eyes were pitch-black vortexes that gave one an indescribable strange feeling.
Wu Huang walked forward with his hands behind his back. The first thing he saw was Zhou Yuan, causing him to be taken aback for a moment, before a playful look emerged from the corners of his mouth.
“Zhou Yuan, I did expect to meet you again…”
Chapter 169 Wu Huang’s Killing Intent
In a devastated forest.
Zhou Yuan involuntarily frowned at the sight of two individuals who had walked out from the fog, Wu Huang and the youth in black robes.
“You’ve teamed up with the Dongxuan people?”
Wu Huang indifferently replied, “Short-sighted. The future me will not be limited to a mere continent. Why should my Cangmang Continent identity restrict me?”
“How shameless.” Luluo sneered.
“You colluded with these Dongxuan people to gang up on Yaoyao. You truly are the worst.”
Wu Huang shook his head, his voice unchanged as he said, “The only truth is that the victor is right, and the process is of little importance. Since there was a stumbling block in my way, I will naturally have to remove it.”
Zhou Yuan swept a gaze towards him. “It’s a pity that you even threw away your face, but were still unable to achieve your goal.”
Wu Huang’s expression finally turned slightly rigid, his gaze somewhat frosty as he stared at Zhou Yuan and said, “Finding you here is an unexpected but pleasant surprise. I heard that you are on pretty good terms with Zhou Xiaoyao, am I right? If you are caught and used as bait, do you think that he will still choose to come even though it’s clearly a trap?”
Boom!
Wu Huang was swift and decisive, powerful Genesis Qi exploding from his body like a storm at his final word. His Genesis Qi was akin to a scorching sun, shining brilliantly with awe-inspiring power.
Swish!
He was extremely quick, appearing in front of Zhou Yuan in a single step.
The tip of Zhou Yuan’s foot also pushed off the ground as his figure rapidly retreated.
