His entire arm had exploded!
Zhao Jing slowly began to collapse, his body falling backwards.
Hua!
The atmosphere of the whole manor was boiling, and countless gazes contained intense disbelief and horror.
All eyes then gathered on the young figure whose back was facing Zhao Jing.
Their eyes were all full of astonishment.
Who would have thought that Zhou Yuan, who seemed to have been at a disadvantage during that terrifying thunderous impact, could counter-attack with one punch and cause Zhao Jing’s ape-like arm to explode to pieces!
What kind of terrifying force was that?
Within the manor, fear gradually filled the eyes focusing on Zhou Yuan.
None of them would have thought that the newly appointed chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak, who was a nobody amongst the seven chief disciples of Cangxuan Sect, was a guardian asura!
Chapter 605 The Chosen Appear!
Boom!
When Zhao Jing’s strong body collapsed to the ground, a deep noise echoed. The whole courtyard seemed to tremble. Of course, something else was trembling with it: the hearts of the countless onlookers.
All eyes were filled with intense astonishment as they looked at Zhao Jing whose right arm had exploded with blood. It was unknown whether he was still alive.
On the pavilion.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect’s chief disciple Liu Fu, who was originally holding a tea cup with both hands and leisurely waiting for the Cangxuan Sect to be humiliated, was frozen with terror. The shock and fear in his eyes burst forth, unable to be concealed.
Kacha.
The cup in his hand cracked and shattered under his grip.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and, with great difficulty, muttered, “How could this be...”
But nobody in the pavilion was in the mood to laugh at him; they all bore the same expressions of shock.
When Zhao Jing's right arm exploded in a fountain of blood after Zhou Yuan brushed by him, it had created a scene that was truly too unexpected.
No one would have thought that Zhao Jing, who had been occupying the upper hand all the while, would be completely defeated by Zhou Yuan in that very moment.
Zhao Jing was not a nobody but the chief disciple ranked second in Sacred Palace!
Among all the chief disciples of the Cangxuan Heaven, he could be said to be ranked in the top five!
Every chief disciple cast a complex gaze at the young figure from the Cangxuan Sect. Compared to the other chief disciples, Zhou Yuan, the chief disciple of the Saint Genesis Peak, seemed to rank last amongst the seven chief disciples of the Cangxuan Sect. This was true whether it was in reputation or seniority.
This was also the reason that the chief disciples of the other sects did not attach much importance to him. Even if they had previously heard about Zhou Yuan's accomplishment, they still regarded him with skepticism.
But at this moment, when the cruel reality was placed in front of them, they had to put away that irreverent state of mind, which was then replaced with graveness and fear.
The youngest chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect had proved everything with his own strength.
The female chief disciple of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace breathed a long sigh of relief before she turned to Zuoqiu Qingyu and said, “Qingyu, your friend really is too fearsome.”
He was indeed too fearsome. In the most direct and straightforward manner possible, he caused Zhao Jing’s arm to explode.
Zuoqiu Qingyu blinked her alluring peach blossom eyes. The impact she felt at this moment was no less than that of the others. Although she had confidence in Zhou Yuan, she only thought he would be evenly matched with Zhao Jing.
But as evident from that one scene, Zhou Yuan had nearly killed Zhao Jing.
“That guy became much stronger compared to the last time we saw each other!” she muttered in her mind. Her beautiful eyes then shifted to chief disciple Liu Fu of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. “Well, I believe no one doubts Zhou Yuan now, right?”
Liu Fu silently bowed his head and cleaned up the water stains the shattered cup had covered his body with. He looked a little embarrassed, and he did not dare answer Zuoqiu Qingyu. He too was shocked by Zhou Yuan's fierceness and didn't want to bring trouble to himself.
Right now, it was better to talk less.
Zuoqiu Qingyu felt great when she saw Liu Fu's expression, and she no longer paid any attention to him. Her beautiful eyes shifted to the courtyard and onto the slender figure that had captured the attention of countless people.
At the window, Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan were also staring fixedly below with extremely grave expressions.
“Such a strong punch," Ning Zhan said then slowly added, “His physical body has been cultivated to an extremely high level. Even Zhao Jing cannot match up to him.”
Their North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall also had physical cultivation techniques. But even amongst the numerous chief disciples of the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall, there wasn’t anyone who could reach Zhou Yuan's level.
Perhaps, only within the Chosen could someone who could reach such a level be found.
Although Li Chunjun was blind, he had still felt the collision between two astonishing forces. The stronger one should have belonged to Zhou Yuan.
“That punch...” Li Chunjun estimated his strength in his mind then slowly said, “He is walking ahead of us again.”
Ning Zhang scratched his head, saying helplessly, “He really is abnormal. I thought I could avenge my previous humiliation. But from the looks of it, I can’t defeat him even if we fought again.”
Li Chunjun’s lips trembled into a smile as he gently caressed the heavy sword on his back. “It’s good to have a goal in front of you. He will give me motivation to chase after him.
“Do you know...I think of him whenever I can't hold on anymore while training in the sword prison?”
Ning Zhang was silent for a moment. He responded, “Although you’ve become blind, you still shouldn’t lower your standards like that, right?”
Che!
A sharp sword qi shot out from Li Chunjun’s finger. Shaped like a crescent moon, it aimed directly for Ning Zhang.
Ning Zhang chuckled mischievously. Genesis Qi surged in the palm of his hand, forming a yellow dragon head that swallowed the sword qi in one mouthful. The Genesis Qi shook violently before gradually calming down.
“I was just kidding.”
...
On the courtyard.
Tang Muxin, Baili Che and the others similarly stared at Zhao Jing who had slowly collapsed to the ground. It was only after a good while that their looks of disbelief darted over to Zhou Yuan.
“Junior brother Zhou Yuan, your strength has grown once again!” Tang Muxin drew a deep breath and couldn’t help but sigh.
Moments ago, they were still puzzled by Zhou Yuan's choice to confront Zhao Jing. But at this moment, their confusion had completely dissolved...the extremely fierce and violent Zhao Jing in their eyes was nothing but a paper tiger in Zhou Yuan's eyes.
The other chief disciples also wore somewhat complicated expressions, particularly so for Baili Che. He had scolded and called Zhou Yuan an idiot moments ago, but now he knew that Zhou Yuan wasn’t stupid. Instead, he was the one with poor vision.
The present Zhou Yuan was much stronger compared to the last time they had met.
So even if Baili Che was unwilling to admit it, he also knew that Zhou Yuan had already surpassed him…
Zhou Yuan looked at Tang Muxin and the others with a smile. He said with a cupped fist salute, “Luckily I didn’t lose, otherwise our Cangxuan Sect would have lost face.”
“We made an error of judgment yet again,” the chief disciple of the Thunder Prison Peak, Xie Yan, said slowly.
“Since this matter started because of me, I naturally should be the one to put an end to it. I didn’t mean to steal senior brother Xie Yan’s limelight.” Zhou Yuan laughed.
> Xie Yan, who was always serious in speech and manner, shook his head as the corners of his lips moved ever so slightly.
“Be careful, that Huo Tian might go crazy,” Tang Muxin suddenly reminded them.
Zhou Yuan turned and looked in the direction of the Sacred Palace not too far away. Their chief disciples had also gradually recovered from the shock of Zhao Jing’s collapse.
Hou Tian’s face had become terrifyingly gloomy. He slowly raised his head, and his cold eyes locked onto Zhou Yuan. His chilling voice rang throughout the manor. “Good, really good. You really are the chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect’s Saint Genesis Peak!
“I really made an error of judgment. So you are the one who hid the deepest...
“Since your Cangxuan Sect is so powerful, then let my Sacred Palace learn from you today!”
As soon as his voice sounded, all the Sacred Palace chief disciples as well as their sect's normal disciples erupted with Genesis Qi. Their sinister eyes were locked on to the Cangxuan Sect’s side.
Upon seeing this, Zhou Yuan’s expression was so calm that there wasn't even the slightest disturbance on his face. “If you want to fight, then my Cangxuan Sect will keep you company till the end.”
He held out his palm and waved it gently.
Boom!
At the same time, in the area behind the disciples of the Sacred Palace, there were streaks of Genesis Qi shooting skywards one after another. Hundreds of figures swept past. The person in the lead was namely Jin Zhang.
The seven chief disciples of the Cangxuan Sect also gathered together.
The team that appeared behind them made the Sacred Palace slightly restless. Huo Tian’s face also grew increasingly unsightly, and he stared at Zhou Yuan. They had originally occupied an absolute advantage, but now it all changed.
The situation was growing increasingly embarrassing for them.
The strength of both sides was in a well-balanced state. But once a battle broke out, there would inevitably be disastrous losses. If that were to happen, only a third party would benefit.
Under the countless watchful gazes of everyone in the manor, although the two sides were facing each other, no one was willing to really provoke a dispute. All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the manor turned awkward. But it did not last long.
Boom!
A loud noise resounded through the air, attracting everyone's attention.
In the distant mountains, countless gusts of violent Genesis Qi dipper wind were tearing several cracks and gaps from which numerous powerful and imposing shadows burst forth.
The crowd in the manor was stirred up the moment the shadows appeared.
“The Chosen from the various sects are coming out!”
Chapter 606 Jin Chanzi
Beyond the majestic and unimaginable mountain ranges, there were violent Genesis Qi winds. They formed a layer of wind that protected the mountains. Even the chief disciples of the various sects could not break it apart. Only the combined force of the Chosen from various sects could tear open a passageway.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
At this moment, the many extraordinary shadows that broke out from the layer of wind were the Chosen who were exploring the mountain ranges.
The reason they had come out was evidently to welcome the various sect disciples.
The whole city stirred as countless blazing eyes watched the shadows skim across the skies. Within the manor, the disciples from each sect were just as excited; they all knew that the majestic ancient mountain range in front of them was one of Mythic Utopia's true core areas.
As long as they could enter, the harvests they could obtain would certainly be incomparable.
The welcoming from the Chosen was a necessary condition for them to enter.
The appearance of each sects' Chosen also quelled the confrontation between the Cangxuan Sect and the Sacred Palace. The disciples of both sides still stared fiercely at one another, but the Genesis Qi surging from their bodies had slightly curbed.
Zhou Yuan also lifted his head to look at the shadows flying out from the wind layer. A slight smile curved up on his lips. I wonder if Yaoyao will come...we haven’t seen each other for over a month. I miss her a little.
And of course, there is also Tuntun.
Under countless hopeful gazes, a shadow, at the fastest speed possible and with an astonishing imposing aura, directly appeared above the manor. The figure slowly landed.
As eyes gathered on that shadow, several people had an abrupt change of expression. Fear was surfacing in their eyes.
The person who had appeared was dressed in a white robe and was tall and slender. He was like a deity descending upon the world, especially so with his golden hair glistening under the sun.
Most frightening, his eyes were also glowing with a golden color and were vertically slit. His stare was enough to send a chill down one’s spine.
Zhou Yuan's eyes were similarly fixed on him, his face turning solemn. Evidently, he was able to perceive a dangerous aura emitting from him. He turned to Tang Muxin and the others only to see a look of fear cross their faces.
“Who is he?” Zhou Yuan asked.
Tang Muxin took a deep breath and answered, “Jin Chanzi of the Sacred Palace, ranked fifth on the Chosen List of Cangxuan Heaven, and ranked in the top three amongst the Sacred Palace’s Chosen. His strength is extremely terrifying.”
Zhou Yuan focused his eyes on Jin Chanzi, evidently not expecting Jin Chanzi to be so powerful.
He could feel that when Jin Chanzi had appeared, the boiling atmosphere in the manor had become much colder. The countless gazes coming from all directions flickered with fear.
The fact that Jin Chanzi’s appearance could deter all forces showed that he had a well-earned reputation for being fierce.
Huo Tian and the others also saw Jin Chanzi arrive, but their expressions were that of excitement mingled with some unease. They knew that the performance of the Sacred Palace chief disciples wasn’t particularly good this time.
Especially now, Zhao Jing was still lying on the courtyard.
And they all knew that Jin Chanzi always stopped at nothing to do what he wanted. He most likely would be enraged if he knew that they had performed so badly.
As their excited and anxious eyes regarded the happenings around them, the beam of light in the sky also recognised the people from the Sacred Palace and landed in front of them. His golden eyes scanned the crowd and eventually fell on the disciples of the Cangxuan Sect who were not too far away, including Zhao Jing who was collapsed on the courtyard.
“What happened?” Jin Chanzi asked indifferently.
The Sacred Palace's chief disciples were all as silent as winter cicadas.
Hou Tian summoned up the courage to step forward and report everything.
After he finished speaking, he lifted his head to take a glance at Jin Chanzi, who still remained expressionless.
Jin Chanzi just looked at him as he slowly said, “You mean, two chief disciples from my Sacred Palace were killed by the same chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect...
“And Zhao Jing was also wounded by that same person?”
Huo Tian nodded with difficulty.
Jin Chanzi stared at him awhile then suddenly smiled. “You chief disciples are really so capable. My Sacred Palace has suppressed the Cangxuan Sect for many years, but you intend to completely ruin the face of my Sacred Palace?”
Huo Tian and other chief disciples did not dare to retort.
Jin Chanzi shook his head, saying indifferently, “Ning Mo and Fan Yao are both so incompetent. It’s also good that they are dead, lest they waste my Sacred Palace’s training resources. I’m a little surprised with Zhao Jing, but since he’s also a loser he will be punished according to the rules of the sect when he returns to the Sacred Palace.
“At that time, you will also suffer for your actions.” He swept his eyes over Huo Tian and the others.
They did not dare to argue.
“Bring tha
t fool back. Don't embarrass the Sacred Palace here,” Huo Tian hurriedly commanded his disciples.
Jin Chanzi studied Zhao Jing's broken arm and asked curiously, “Which Cangxuan Sect chief disciple has this ability?”
Huo Tian hesitated for a moment before he answered, “He is said to be the new chief disciple of the Saint Genesis Peak, Zhou Yuan. I haven’t heard of his name before.”
“Zhou Yuan?” Jin Chanzi’s pupils seemed to flicker slightly as the corners of his lips slowly lifted into a strange arc. He muttered, “This is really interesting.”
Huo Tian did not understand the meaning of his words, but he did not question further.
Jin Chanzi strode forward two steps. His golden eyes shifted onto the Cangxuan Sect’s side. Smiling, he asked, “Which one of you is Zhou Yuan?”
Zhou Yuan took a look at Jin Chanzi then strode forward.
Jin Chanzi looked at Zhou Yuan with great interest, studying him closely. A moment later, a trace of disappointment emerged in his eyes. This was the target of their mission? The one the sect master of their Sacred Palace had warned them about?
He seemed pretty ordinary. Just what about him had caught the sect master's attention?
“You’re the one who had killed two Sacred Palace chief disciples and had broken Zhao Jing's arm?” Jin Chanzi asked with an unconcerned attitude.
Tang Muxin spoke out: “If you don’t feel comfortable, wait for the Chosen from my Cangxuan Sect to come. As a Chosen, you do not have to involve yourself in the affairs of chief disciples, right?”
Her eyes met Jin Chanzi’s with cautiousness. She had reminded him that, given his identity as a Chosen, if he chose to become involved in the fights between chief disciples, it would somewhat lower his status according to the unspoken rules.
Jin Chanzi simply smiled. He ignored Tang Muxin and just stared at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan was also looking directly at him. He had no intention to evade his gaze, and there was not the slightest of fear in his eyes, unlike in the others'. “The way the Sacred Palace acts is too domineering. Since your distinguished self is one of the Chosen, you should exercise a little more restraint.”
