Dragon Prince Yuan c1-1251

  An intimidating pressure engulfed the island, causing the numerous Saint Genesis Peak disciples to feel difficulty breathing as their expressions turned exceptionally grave.

  They finally had a taste of Sword Cometh Peak’s strength.

  As such, the island turned stiflingly silent.

  The corners of Baili Che’s mouth raised a little as he nonchalantly said, “Sword Cometh Peak does not take advantage of others, nor wishes to bully weaklings. But since someone has done something foolish, this person will naturally have to pay the price.”

  “I feel that this price should be borne by the one who instigated this matter on his own, and not other Saint Genesis Peak disciples.”

  He softly chuckled, before he continued, “If you guys feel the same, you only need to take two steps back. We will not only let you off, but even give you guys some Genesis essence to complete Genesis reservoir ceremony.”

  “Of course… we’ll require those few ringer leaders to give Sword Cometh Peak an explanation.”

  The disciples from the other peaks could not help but grin when they heard Baili Che’s words. What an underhanded tactic.

  In this situation, if the Saint Genesis Peak disciples gave in the the pressure and stepped back, wouldn’t that mean that they were handing over their chief disciple Zhou Yuan?

  This would undoubtedly make Zhou Yuan a huge laughing stock.

  How big of a failure would a chief disciple be if he was unable to win over his fellow disciples and end up being sold off by them instead?

  No one would be thick skinned enough to continue being chief disciples if this happened to them.

  Baili Che’s voice also landed in the ears of the numerous Saint Genesis Peak disciples, causing them to look at each other. However, none of them took even a single step back. Somewhere at front, Zhou Tai laughed icily and said, “Baili Che, stop trying these petty tricks. We’ll gladly face whatever you’re going to throw at us!”

  “That’s right!”

  “Do you think we’re afraid of you guys!”

  “Worst comes to worst, we’ll just give up on this Genesis reservoir ceremony!”

  “……”

  The other disciples shouted one after another. Baili Che was truly vicious. To think that he would attempt such a tactic to divide them.

  Baili Che raised his eyebrows, somewhat surprised as he glanced at Zhou Yuan. The former had not expected the latter to already possess such popularity in Saint Genesis Peak.

  Baili Che shook his head and said, “Since you refuse our generous offer, don’t blame us later on.”

  With a wave of his hand, two thousand disciples began to spread out in a fan formation, before advancing towards the island.

  They did not stupidly charge forward because of Yaoyao. The latter was after all a master of Genesis Runes, and could have easily set up several traps on the island. Blindly charging in would only result in unnecessary losses.

  The disciples from the other peaks sighed when they saw this. Baili Che was no simpleton. He showed no impatience, and instead chose to push forward at a safe and steady pace. With such a huge advantage on Sword Cometh Peak’s side, Saint Genesis Peak was basically helpless.

  The Saint Genesis Peak disciples began to panic somewhat as they watched the two thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples slowly approach, before gaze after gaze turned towards Zhou Yuan.

  They were not the only ones. Even the disciples from the other peaks were now closely observing Zhou Yuan, hoping to find out how the new chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak was going to deal with Sword Cometh Peak’s encirclement.

  In fact, even sect master Qing Yang, the five peak masters and the elders of the various peaks had cast their attention towards this location.

  In the sky east of the island, two thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples slowly approached.

  Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath as he watched this scene. He then turned towards the Saint Genesis Peak disciples and slowly said, “Do you guys trust me?”

  The disciples looked at each other, before nodding.

  “Good.”

  Zhou Yuan nodded and said, “Everyone prepare to withdraw in the southwest direction. We’re leaving this place.”

  The disciples that were already prepared for their last stand were stunned as they stared at Zhou Yuan in shock. Running away? What use was running at this juncture? It would only make them a bigger joke in the eyes of the other peaks.

  Lu Yan gently gritted her teeth and said, “Are we still going to flee? We can’t escape them.”

  If not for Zhou Yuan’s past accomplishments, she would have begun to feel that he was a little too cowardly.

  Zhou Yuan looked at them and said in a low voice, “If you guys trust me, follow my orders. If the outcome of the ceremony is unsatisfactory, I will give up my position as chief disciple.”

  The disciples fell silent. In the end, their figures began to rise into the air.

  “Yaoyao, you lead them while I cover our backs.” Zhou Yuan looked towards Yaoyao. The latter faintly nodded as she rose into the air with Tuntun, taking the lead as she flew in the southwest direction.

  Zhou Tai, Lu Yan, Zhang Yan and the rest immediately followed.

  *Uproar*!

  Their movements were immediately seen by the countless watching gazes, causing an uproar to sweep across the area.

  No one had expected this. Saint Genesis Peak was running again at this juncture?

  Did they think they would be able to escape?

  Sword Cometh Peak had only allowed them to flee previously because the former wanted to concentrate on collecting Genesis essence. But this time, Sword Cometh Peak was clearly focused on finishing off Saint Genesis Peak.

  Running away was completely useless in this situation.

  The disciples from the other peaks secretly shook their heads, clearly quite disappointed by this turn of events. They had thought Zhou Yuan’s calmness stemmed from some kind of trump card. Who could have expected that he would choose to retreat in the end?

  Baili Che was also stunned by the sight of the Saint Genesis Peak disciples abandoning the island and fleeing. He quickly looked towards Kong Sheng, and saw the latter seem to breath a small sigh of relief.

  Kong Sheng calmly said, “I had originally thought they may have set up some kind of trap on the island. But it appears that I was worrying for nothing.”

  Although he did not fear any traps set by the other party, it would inevitably lead to losses on their side.

  Since the other side was abandoning the island, there was most likely no problem with it.

  In that case, there was no longer any need for him to be wary.

  Baili Che grinned. An eerily chilling look filled his eyes as he waved his hand and shouted in a thunderous voice.

  “Hear my command Sword Cometh Peak disciples! Chase them at full force. Eliminate every single one of them from the ceremony!”

  Rumble!

  Countless Sword Cometh Peak disciples yelled as they surged forward.

  On the island, Zhou Yuan’s eyes turned frosty as he watched the Sword Cometh Peak disciples shoot over at full speed. He did not utter a single word as Genesis Qi rose from under his feet, launching him into the air to catch up to the retreating Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

  “Come Sword Cometh Peak…”

  “I hope this giant present will not disappoint you guys…”

  Chapter 521 Boundary Open

  Rumble!

  Several hundred glowing figures zipped across the sky above the endless waters, accompanied by muffled rumbling as the surging Genesis Qi rippled the fabric of space, the resultant discharge leaving long trails on the sea below.

  These figures were naturally the Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

  They were currently advancing at full speed, while occasionally casting worried gazes behind them with apprehensive looks on their faces.

  Boom!

  Far behind them, the clouds were ripped apart as a swarm o
f glowing figures appeared, practically blotting out the sky. Sharp and powerful Genesis Qi violently split apart the waters, making them churn for a long time before returning to calmness.

  These were the pursuing troops of Sword Cometh Peak.

  They closely followed the Saint Genesis Peak group, slowly but surely catching up inch by inch. From the looks of it, they were obviously not going to stop until every single Saint Genesis Peak disciple was eliminated from the Genesis reservoir ceremony.

  Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu and Baili Che were located at the front of the giant army, sneering expressions in their eyes as they watched the fleeing Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

  In their eyes, this was a silly game of a cat toying with a mouse.

  All the accumulated resentment of Sword Cometh Peak would only be gone once they had their fill of fun.

  “Keep following them. I want to make them unable to catch even a single moment of respite.”

  “Also, make sure to be on alert the moment they near any of the islands.”

  Kong Sheng’s calm voice was transmitted into every disciple’s ears. He was clearly maintaining his vigilance due to Yaoyao’s existence. The latter was after a master of Genesis Runes, and they could not omit the possibility of her leaving Genesis Rune traps on the islands.

  To have become a Chosen of Sword Cometh Peak, Kong Sheng was clearly no ordinary individual.

  As such, the two groups sped across the air above the Genesis reservoir.

  Even further behind, the scouts from the various peaks could not help but sigh in pity as they watched the miserably fleeing Saint Genesis Peak, feeling that Sword Cometh Peak was indeed a little too much.

  Time swiftly flowed as the chase continued.

  After an incense stick of time, the Saint Genesis Peak disciples began to falter, their speeds slowing as stragglers appeared.

  Behind them, the Sword Cometh Peak disciples burst out into laughter, as amusement filled their eyes. They knew that when Saint Genesis Peak finally reached their limits, this farce of a chase would finally be over.

  When that happened, they would be able to do whatever they wanted to Saint Genesis Peak.

  As Zhou Tai looked at the many slowing disciples, he suddenly said, “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, you and junior sister Xiaoyao should go ahead. As long as you two are around, Sword Cometh Peak will never be at ease!”

  He knew that they would be chased to exhaustion by Sword Cometh Peak if this continued.

  “That’s right, you two leave first. We’ll stay behind and duke it out with them!” Lu Yan also gritted her teeth. Rather than fleeing in this pathetic and sullen manner, she preferred to use her Genesis Qi in one last stand.

  “We’ll fight them till the last man!"

  The other disciples also cried out, clearly at the limits of their patience.

  Zhou Yuan's figure gradually slowed down. He glanced at the group and waved his hand, causing them to slowly come to a stop in the air.

  When they stopped, the Sword Cometh Peak army behind them immediately rushed forward, before spreading out like a pair of wings to create a giant encirclement around the Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

  There was no longer any escape.

  Baili Che sent a playful gaze at the ugly looking Saint Genesis peak disciples and unhurriedly said, "Oh? Not running anymore?"

  "My earlier offer is still valid. If you hang over Zhou Yuan, Sword Cometh Peak will let the rest of you off." Baili Che unhurriedly said, his intent extremely disgusting and evil.

  “Pui!”

  However, his words were met by spitting noises from the numerous Saint Genesis Peak disciples. Sword Cometh Peak had already forced them into such a miserable situation. They would only be fools if they were to believe the other party's words.

  Moreover, losing out on the Genesis reservoir ceremony was nothing compared to handing over Zhou Yuan. If they handed him over, it would leave an irredeemable black mark on both Zhou Yuan and Saint Genesis Peak.

  “How regretful.” Baili Che softly chuckled, before turning towards Zhou Yuan with a faint smile. “Ordinary disciples may not understand the big picture, but chief disciples Zhou Yuan should, right? Why don’t you voluntarily admit your mistake. It may create a way out for some of your disciples.”

  Zhou Yuan replied in a firm, unwavering voice, “Baili Che, it may not be good to celebrate too early.”

  Baili Che did not respond to this remark. The iciness in his smile intensified as he sighed and said, “You really don’t know what’s good for you.”

  “Since you can’t appreciate my kindness, don’t blame anyone else for what happens next.”

  As the final word left his lips, Genesis Qi began to surge in the bodies of all the Sword Cometh Peak disciples. A single command was all that separated them from moving.

  Far away, the scouts from the various peaks sighed as they watched.

  Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath as his gaze scanned the slowly shrinking encirclement. He then turned his head, meeting Yaoyao’s gaze as both of them nodded.

  Next, they slowly closed their eyes, as their Spirits began to stir between their brows.

  In the distance, Kong Sheng’s pupils suddenly shrank when he saw this as a sense of unease rose within him. He immediately shouted in a commanding voice, “Everyone attack, and kick them out of the ceremony!”

  Rumble!

  Countless Sword Cometh Peak disciples immediately charged forward, torrents of Genesis Qi whipping through the air to blast at the Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

  “To the last man!”

  The eyes of all the Saint Genesis Peak disciples turned red. Anyone would be filled with anger and frustration after being pushed into such a corner. Even if they were not Sword Cometh Peak’s match, they would at least try and drag a few people along when they were eliminated.

  “Junior brother Zhou Yuan!”

  Zhou Tai and the rest looked towards Zhou Yuan, waiting for his order to strike.

  Zhou Yuan’s tightly shut eyes slowly opened at this moment. He gazed at the Sword Cometh Peak disciples surging towards them, before looking towards the angry and nervous Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

  “I said earlier that as long as you guys placed your faith in me, it will not be so easy for Sword Cometh Peak to kick us out…”

  “Next, we’ll present this giant gift to Sword Cometh Peak.”

  As the final word left his mouth, his hands suddenly formed a seal as Spirit power exploded from between his brows.

  Behind him, an extremely powerful burst of Spirit power also erupted from Yaoyao.

  Invisible ripples unfurled, enveloping the surrounding area.

  Rumble!

  Countless disciples watched in astonishment as countless strings of light suddenly shot out from the sky and sea. These light threads swiftly connected, forming numerous mysterious Genesis Runes.

  A screen of light spread at an alarming speed, completely enveloping the entire area.

  “Not good! It’s a boundary!” Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu and Baili Che’s expressions changed. What horrified them the most were the spreading undulations that made even their hearts shiver.

  “We’ve fallen into their trap!”

  The same thought flashed in the trio’s minds.

  They never imagined that Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao would be able to set up a boundary even without an island. How much skill did it take to achieve such a feat?

  However, before they could react, Zhou Yuan’s voice rang out.

  “Heaven Disorientating Boundary, open!”

  As his voice echoed, countless gazes watched in shock as mist rapidly rose from the surface of the sea. It felt as if they had now been isolated from the rest of the world as the scenery around them changed.

  While the world changed around them, Zhou Yuan’s eyes met Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu and Baili Che’s, as an icy smile rose from the corners of the former’s lips.

  The grand feast they had prepared for Sword Cometh Peak was finally about to be
gin.

  Chapter 522 Heaven Disorientating Boundary Displays its Power

  Gurgle!

  An enormous boundary enveloped the land. The world spun inside, seemingly transforming into the primal chaos before creation, while everyone lost all sense of time and space.

  AHH! AHH!

  Countless shrieks could be heard as the Sword Cometh Peak disciples fell like birds with broken wings from the sky, plunging one after another into the sea below.

  They struggled in the water, unable to rise back into the air no matter how hard they tried, always falling back into the sea as if some mysterious power was binding them to it.

  In fact, even Kong Sheng, Zhao Zhu and Baili Che’s figures were sinking. However, they fell at a much slower speed due to their strong Genesis Qi foundations. Even so, it was only a matter of time before they too were submerged into the misty waters.

  This scene was unbelievably strange.

  The scouts from the various peaks were stupefied as they watched, clearly shocked by the sudden turn of events. It was quite a sight to behold.

  Nearly ten thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples had been trapped!

  The surface of the sea seemed to boil at this moment.

  “It’s the boundary!”

  “What a powerful Genesis Rune boundary! It must have been insane to set it up!”

  “So this is Zhou Yuan and Zhou Xiaoyao. They weren’t escaping but baiting Sword Cometh Peak. They must have set up this boundary in advance, and were only waiting for Sword Cometh Peak to fall into its grasp!”

  “What boundary is this? I can’t believe that it can trap so many Sword Cometh Peak disciples! Even Ye Ge of Spirit Rune Peak can’t set up such a boundary!”

  “……”

  The scouts gasped in shock at this moment, They had originally been fully convinced that Saint Genesis Peak was going to be crushed by Sword Cometh a split second later, but who could have imagined such a turn of events in the blink of an eye!

  They were not the only ones. Even Zhou Tai, and the other Sword Cometh Peak disciples, who were readying themselves for one final stand, had their mouths wide open as they stared at the scene before them.
