Dong!
The two long needles collided in the air, producing a crisp sound, and the surging Genesis Qi exploded.
“Junior sister of the Cangxuan Sect, can you come down to play?” Zhan Taiqing said with a smile.
Yaoyao shot a glance at her and then said to Zhou Yuan, “Leave this woman for me to deal with.”
Somehow, Zhou Yuan seemed to hear a chilling coldness in her voice.
Zhou Yuan nodded. “I'll go after Jin Chanzi.”
They had already assigned each other's opponents.
Yaoyao nodded while Spirit power enveloped her delicate body, and she slowly landed onto the boulder where Zhan Taiqing stood. Zhou Yuan sped up to catch up to Jin Chanzi.
Zhan Taiqing peered down at Yaoyao, blinking repeatedly. “Such a beautiful person. You’re so beautiful that I somewhat don’t have the heart to raise my hand.”
Zhan Taiqing was extremely confident in her appearance. She did not feel inferior in the slightest in front of Li Qingchan, but in the face of Yaoyao, she felt that she was being somewhat suppressed.
However, this only strengthened Zhan Taiqing’s desire to destroy her. She wanted to see if Yaoyao could still maintain such a perfectly beautiful little face when she extracted all her blood.
“So you are Zhan Taiqing.”
Zhan Taiqing smiled. “How can I help?”
Yaoyao’s lips opened slightly, “I heard from Li Qingchan that you wanted to draw out Zhou Yuan’s blood to play with?”
Zhan Taiqing was taken aback for a moment. She then smiled. “Oh? So that kid is your little sweetheart?”
She licked her red lips while her scarlet eyes flickered coldly. “If that boy falls into my hands, I really don't mind extracting his blood to play with.”
She tilted her head, smiling sweetly. “Are you angry? Hehe, don't worry, because he and you will share the same ending...”
Yaoyao looked at Zhan Taiqing with her clear and pure eyes, and nodded gently.
“I'm not interested in extracting blood, but I think...it might be quite fun to pull your spirit out.”
Her beautiful hand lifted, and Spirit light gathered between her beautiful eyebrows.
Then, under Zhan Taiqing’s slightly changing expression, an invisible wisp of Spirit Flame slowly descended and landed in Yaoyao’s hand.
Buzz!
She flicked her finger.
Swoosh!
The invisible Spirit Flame burst out.
The area was instantly saturated with an extremely strong killing intent.
Chapter 647 The third round
On the towering seventh peak, countless gazes converged on the two battlefields. Although battles had also broken out on the other six peaks, the seventh peak still attracted the most attention.
In addition to the first and second fights between Jiang Taishen and Chu Qing, the battle between Yaoyao and Zhan Taiqing had become a highlight.
Both women were remarkably beautiful and graceful, so their battle naturally caught a lot of attention.
However, for other sects, it was obvious that Zhan Taiqing was far better than Yaoyao in terms of reputation. After all, Zhan Taiqing was still ranked third on the Chosen List after Jiang Taishen and Chu Qing.
So in the beginning, some people who were attracted by Yaoyao’s appearance felt some sympathy for her. But this sympathy gradually disappeared as the battle between the two women progressed.
This was because they found that although Yaoyao’s Genesis Qi was weak, her Spirit was outrageously strong. She was not at a disadvantage even against a strong opponent like Zhan Taiqing, and she even seemed to be handling the battle with ease.
It was only at this time that they understood the Cangxuan Sect had such a powerful person.
“Jiang Taishen, Chu Qing, Zhou Xiaoyao and Zhan Taiqing have all made a move. Only Jin Chanzi and Zhou Yuan are left.”
“It looks like the Cangxuan Sect plans to have Zhou Yuan go against Jin Chanzi.”
“I think this decision is the worst one that the Cangxuan Sect has made out of the three. Although Zhou Yuan performed pretty well before and can be ranked as a Chosen, he is unfortunately going up against Jin Chanzi.”
“Yes, Jin Chanzi is ranked fifth on the Chosen List. If the Cangxuan Sect had sent out Kong Sheng instead, then perhaps there would be a proper fight. But they had sent out Zhou Yuan! That’s just digging themselves a hole.”
“If Zhou Yuan isn’t able to cope, it will adversely affect the other battles, and the Cangxuan Sect could be utterly defeated by the Sacred Palace.”
“......”
In whispers, the audience exchanged their thoughts on the three battles. The first two battles looked positive for the Cangxuan Sect; at the very least they were not at a disadvantage.
Only Zhou Yuan’s battle was filled with uncertainty.
It was evident that no one was optimistic about Zhou Yuan.
Zuoqiu Qingyu’s, Luluo’s and the others’ faces were crossed with worry as they watched the two figures on the last towering mountain peak continue to move forward. Although they believed in Zhou Yuan, they were aware of Jin Chanzi’s strength. Jin Chanzi was ranked lower than Jiang Taishen and Zhan Taiqing, but he was one of the three greatest Chosen among the younger generation of the Sacred Palace.
In front of Jin Chanzi, the other Sacred Palace Chosen could only submit to him.
If anyone truly thought that Jin Chanzi was easy to deal with, they were being too naive.
On the Cangxuan Sect’s side, some disciples looked at the seventh mountain peak and asked, “Can senior brother Zhou Yuan beat Jin Chanzi?”
Gu Hongyi did not know how to answer. She glanced over to Tang Muxin, Jin Zhang and the other chief disciples beside her. They were all looking at each other in dismay, and she finally just shook her head with a bitter smile.
Even ordinary Chosen were high-level existences to them, so they simply couldn’t imagine the strength of a top Chosen like Jin Chanzi.
“Since Zhou Yuan volunteered, he must have confidence in winning. Even if he is no match for Jin Chanzi, as long as he can stall him, perhaps senior brother Chu Qing or Yaoyao can win their battle and come help him.” Tang Muxin could only comfort everyone like so.
But the other disciples were not fools. Of course they could hear the tone of uncertainty in Tang Muxin’s voice. They immediately sighed inwardly and raised their heads, peering at the towering peak with worried looks.
“Jin Chanzi has reached the summit.” Tang Muxin’s beautiful face changed slightly.
All the others also froze. They drew a deep breath, knowing that when Jin Chanzi reached the peak, he would try to eliminate Zhou Yuan first.
The third round of battle was finally about to begin.
...
Shua!
Tapping his toes on the tip of a tree, Zhou Yuan’s body shot straight up like an eagle, piercing through the mist and clouds. Finally, he found his field of vision clearing up.
There was a vast expanse of space above the peak. Clouds and mist lingered over the mountain, like a wonderland.
Zhou Yuan landed on a huge boulder, and his eyes immediately shifted towards the farthest point right away. He saw a huge jade disc standing quietly, flickering with a mysterious and ancient luster.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes were blazing when he laid eyes on the jade disc. He could feel that the third Saint Rune was within it!
After a few breaths, Zhou Yuan forced his gaze away and back onto the rear of a figure not too far away.
At this moment, Jin Chanzi was also studying the jade disc. His hands were clasped behind his back.
“I didn't think you'd really dare to follow me,” Jin Chanzi remarked without turning his head.
Zhou Yuan gently cocked his head. “I have a number of things to settle with you. If I let you flee back to the Sacred Palace, it will be quite troublesome for me.”
Jin Chanzi slowly turned around, coldly fixing his golden vertically slit eyes on Zhou Yuan
. The corners of his mouth twisted in a cruel smile. “It seems that defeating two Chosen from my Sacred Palace has given you a lot of confidence. Back then, outside the Great Mythic Mountain range, you had lacked even the courage to speak to me.”
Zhou Yuan smiled. “At that time I really wasn’t certain that I could kill you, but I should have that confidence now.”
Jin Chanzi shook his head. He evidently treated Zhou Yuan’s words as the words of a crazy man. “Let’s not waste time talking. Zhou Yuan, if you break your arms right now, I can spare your life for killing two of our Chosen. There are orders to bring you back to the Sacred Palace. Though it doesn’t matter whether you are dead or alive. But if you do as I say, I can spare your life.”
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed, and then he burst into laughter. “I can’t believe you are using this childish method of trying to provoke me. Also, I'm not going to let you leave here alive.”
A murderous glint flickered in Zhou Yuan's eyes.
He was aware that it was Jin Chanzi’s idea to plot a trap for Yaoyao. Moreover, the toxic qi around Soul Subduing Mountain had belonged to Jin Chanzi. Towards Jin Chanzi, he already had a strong killing intent that couldn’t be erased.
Jin Chanzi must die today!
Jin Chanzi narrowed his eyes, and his lips pulled back to reveal his white teeth.
Boom!
Jin Chanzi stamped his feet, and green Genesis Qi directly erupted from his body. The glow of the Genesis Qi illuminated the sky, forming a Genesis Qi starry sky phenomenon.
And between the formation, there were 83,000 Genesis Qi stars flashing brightly.
The strong and violent oppressive force of Genesis Qi came sweeping down from the peak, and along with it was Jin Chanzi’s words that were filled with murderous spirit.
“I'd like to see how much of your pitiful self-confidence will remain after I trample your face.”
Chapter 648 Fierce Battle
Buzz!
Raging violent Genesis Qi, with a nauseating smell, gushed from Jin Chanzi’s body. The 83,000 Genesis Qi stars flashed with dazzling light, causing a reaction amongst the countless people present.
Seeing the spectacular Genesis Qi phenomenon, Zhou Yuan drew a deep breath. Golden Genesis Qi burst forth from his body, which similarly formed a Genesis Qi starry phenomenon. It was just that his 39,000 Genesis Qi stars were extremely embarrassing compared to Jin Chanzi’s.
Beyond the mountains, there were even roars of laughter, especially from the side of the Sacred Palace disciples. Their laughter was unrestrained because, solely based on their Genesis Qi foundation, Zhou Yuan had no chance of winning.
The disciples of the Cangxuan Sect glowered at them, but they were all somewhat nervous. They knew the gap between Zhou Yuan and Jin Chanzi was too great.
Zhou Yuan seemed to not notice the roars of laughter beyond the mountain, and he just locked his eyes onto Jin Chanzi. The earth-shaking Genesis Qi that was surging everywhere told him that today’s battle would be the fiercest battle he would have since coming to the Shengzhou Continent.
Jin Chanzi crossed his arms, dark green Genesis Qi surging behind him. He stared at Zhou Yuan with his golden slit eyes, and a sneer curved on his lips. “Zhou Yuan, your foundation is only 39,000 Genesis Qi stars? If that's the case”—his eyes suddenly turned fierce—“then I’m afraid you really can’t go anywhere today!”
Boom!
When Jin Chanzi’s voice faded, he slammed his foot. The surging dark green Genesis Qi behind him roared out, transforming into a giant claw emitting a bloody stench. It fiercely slashed in Zhou Yuan’s direction.
Zhou Yuan took a deep breath as he watched the dark green claw whizzing over. Golden Genesis Qi was also roaring out at this time. There was a shadow of a giant serpent with claws vaguely visible within the golden light.
In the face of Jin Chanzi’s Genesis Qi attack, he did not evade. He wanted to see how strong his opponent’s 83,000 Genesis Qi foundation was!
After all, Zhou Yuan had never fought against an opponent at Jin Chanzi’s level.
The Genesis Qi foundations of the two Sacred Palace Chosen he had killed before most likely couldn’t compare to Jin Chanzi’s even if added up together. Moreover, Genesis Qi foundations were not easy things to compare.
A person who possessed 80,000 Genesis Qi stars could easily crush two opponents who each had 40,000 Genesis Qi stars.
Watching Zhou Yuan’s golden Genesis Qi gush over, the corners of Jin Chanzi’s lips tilted in a contemptuous arc. He then gave a flick of the robe.
Boom!
The giant dark green Genesis Qi claw fiercely collided with the golden serpent shadow, sending violent Genesis Qi rippling out. The golden shadow only lasted a few breaths of time before it shattered to pieces.
On the other hand, the giant Genesis Qi claw was weakened only slightly, and it was still as incomparably ferocious as before. It immediately aimed another strike at Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan swiftly transformed, turning into remnants of shadow, and rapidly retreated to evade the giant claw attack.
Boom!
Multiple cracks were blasted into the earth, and smoke billowed up.
Like a cat playing with a mouse, Jin Chanzi watched the scene indifferently and then cast his eyes over to the figure reappearing in the distance. His first attack had almost crushed Zhou Yuan.
It was naive of Zhou Yuan to try to compete with him when his Genesis Qi foundation was only 39,000 stars.
“Are you going to fight me like a mouse, hiding here and there?” Jin Chanzi grinned, folding his hands together in a hand seal. His eyes suddenly grew sinister. “Let’s see how long you can hide?”
Gu!
His throat emitted a bizarre sound, and his mouth bulged all of a sudden. Dark green Genesis Qi frantically gathered within it. The qi compressed, and Jin Chanzi spewed it out.
“Heavenly Toxic Toad Ripple!”
Sharp hissing sound waves rapidly rang out. The flowing dark green light became sticky like a poisonous fluid, and it directly roared toward Zhou Yuan with incredible speed.
That speed was simply too fast for him to avoid.
It also corroded the ground and left behind a nauseating stench wherever it passed.
Each of Jin Chanzi’s attacks was fiercer than the one before. He evidently intended to use his powerful Genesis Qi foundation to completely destroy Zhou Yuan’s self-confidence.
Zhou Yuan watched the ripple of dark green light gush over with a solemn look on his face. He had already activated the Ethereal Form to its peak, and he frantically retreated. But Jin Chanzi’s attacks were like sound waves, so fast they were impossible to evade.
As the dark green light ripple rapidly grew larger before him, Zhou Yuan's hands also rapidly folded in a hand seal with lightning speed, and he swiftly operated his Genesis Qi.
His mouth also suddenly bulged, spraying out a dark golden flame.
“Heavenly Sun Flame!”
Dark gold flames came speeding out, turning the temperature increasingly hot. Even the surface of the ground was melted instantly. That mouthful of dark gold flame directly collided with the roaring dark green sound wave.
Boom!
The two collided, producing a piercing sharp noise. But the dark gold flame, after lasting for tens of breaths of time, was then extinguished and swallowed by the dark green light.
Having swallowed the dark gold flame, the dark green light ripple continued to shoot towards Zhou Yuan, who was constantly retreating.
The battle between the two had turned intense from the very start.
“Boom!”
While rapidly retreating, the space between Zhou Yuan’s brows began to glow. The ground then quaked, and huge stone walls suddenly lifted into the air to shield Zhou Yuan.
On the stonewalls was Spirit light.
Evidently, Zhou Yuan had even activated his Spirit power.
Boom!
The dark green ripple was still gushing over in the face of the hea
vy stonewalls, destroying everything in the way.
In just a few seconds, it pierced all the stone walls.
But the dark green light ripple had also reduced to half, and it had evidently consumed the majority of its power. Despite this, what remained was still enough to kill most Chosen.
Swoosh!
The dark green light ripple pierced through the last stonewall. Its speed skyrocketed and finally caught up to Zhou Yuan.
Zhou Yuan was no longer able to retreat.
Looking at the rapidly enlarging stream of dark green light, he inwardly took a deep breath and clenched his fists tight.
Golden blood was violently vibrating in his heart, and countless rays of golden light were spreading out from his body, fusing with his flesh and blood. His bodily strength erupted.
The surface of Zhou Yuan's body glowed a golden color, and a vague golden pattern marked his skin.
“Little Mythic Saint Body Art, Golden Blood Stage!”
The strength of his physical body was activated to its peak without restraint.
Roar!
Zhou Yuan’s body emitted a roaring sound. He did not retreat anymore. Instead, he took a huge stride forward. His fists clenched, and a punch blasted out blazing with golden light.
Boom!
The punch collided with the dark green light ripple.
Rumble!
A deafening boom reverberated out from the mountain, and the shock waves wreaked havoc everywhere.
Countless eyes were fixed unblinkingly on this scene.
At the source of the collision were two berserk forces constantly bombarding each other. Around dozens of seconds later, the dark green light ripple finally dissipated.
Bang!
But at the same time the dark green ripple dissipated, Zhou Yuan's body shook violently. He was propelled hundreds of feet away and was slammed into a mountain wall.
The mountain wall collapsed, and the boulders tumbled down, burying him.
Countless people stared dumbstruck.
In order to counter Jin Chanzi’s fierce attack, Zhou Yuan had used three different powers: Genesis Qi, Spirit, and bodily strength. But even so, he still failed at the last moment.
