If her clan were to sell out Zhou Yuan under such circumstances to protect themselves, their reputation would undoubtedly be destroyed. Even if they were to win the position of Prefecture Lord, it wouldn’t last long.
“Patriarch Qiu Long, Qiu Yang had evil intent and wanted to kidnap my little sister. His actions were simply despicable. I just don’t know whether or not he was directed by someone or if it was his own idea?” Yi Qiushui’s voice was clear and crisp.
Qiu Long’s face darkened. “Nonsense.”
Qiu Ling, clad in all black, took a step forward with a sneer on his face. “It’s useless to say anything now. Let’s fight.”
Following his statement, the atmosphere changed instantly and many held their breath in concentration.
Yi Qiushui’s beautiful face was icy cold, and she didn’t utter another word. Her elegant body moved slightly, Genesis Qi flashed, and she was the first to appear on the battlefield.
Liu Zhixuan immediately followed after her to protect her.
The Yi clan’s other two advanced Divine Dwelling experts quickly followed him.
However, when Zhou Yuan stepped onto the battlefield, there was a burst of laughter from all directions.
Some of the young men and women of the Yi clan flushed with embarrassment and gritted their teeth when they heard the laughter.
Qiu Ling’s gaze also paused on Zhou Yuan’s body. He sneered. “It seems that you are really looking for death.
“Never mind, now that you’re on the battlefield, if you want to quit today, I’m afraid it’s not up to you anymore.”
A fierce and malicious look flashed to his eyes. Zhou Yuan had killed his brother so would have to pay the price today.
After speaking, he didn’t pay attention to Zhou Yuan’s reaction; he instead shifted his gaze to Liu Zhixuan. “Liu Zhixuan, why did your Liu clan come to wade in muddy water? Aren’t you afraid of losing face before you can even please them?”
Liu Zhixuan shook his head. “Qiu Ling, after you joined the Heavenly Spirit Sect, your ability hasn’t increased much but your arrogance has greatly.”
Qiu Ling sighed, “You have a death wish.”
Before his voice faded, his figure appeared on the battlefield, and three figures landed next to him.
The crowd broke into discussion when these three appeared.
“That’s Qiu Ba, Qiu Leibao and Qiu Yueqiu. As we have all expected, the Qiu clan really did send them out. I heard that they have long stepped into the advanced Divine Dwelling stage. And even if they had only established six heavens Divine Dwelling, they aren’t weak.”
The various factions weren’t surprised by the appearance of the three people, and they seemed to have predicted them to appear.
On the other hand, although Yi Qianji, Liu Tianying and the others narrowed their eyes when they saw them, their expressions remained calm and composed. Their three opponents were within their expectations. But it was strange that the Qiu clan did not ask for external assistance.
Yi Qiushui’s beautiful eyes darted back and forth across the four people, but her brows were knitted in a frown, especially when she saw the strange smile on Qiu Ling’s face. For some reason, uneasiness was surging in her heart.
“Is Qiushui curious about the last person chosen for my Qiu clan?” Qiu Ling smiled at Yi Qiushui. “Haha, in order to make Qiushui feel surprised, I had put in a lot of thought.”
Qiu Ling cupped one fist in the other and said with a smile, “Senior brother, please show yourself.”
Boom!
The moment Qiu Ling’s voice faded, a beam of Genesis Qi descended from the sky, landing right in front of Qiu Ling.
The ground began to quake, and shock waves visible to the naked eye spread outward.
People cast countless bewildered gazes in that direction.
Such a powerful imposing aura. Who did the Qiu clan invite over?!
The smoke and dust dissipated, revealing a thin figure standing carefree in front of Qiu Ling. Although carefree, the figure still gave off a terrifying aura of oppression.
All eyes were fixed on the thin monkey-like figure, and the crowd immediately fell silent.
In the next moment, a monstrous uproar broke out!
“He is...the heaven pride of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Mo Yuan!”
“Isn’t he the super heaven pride on the Divine Dwelling List?”
“The Qiu clan actually invited him over, is there any point in continuing the battle?!”
“The Yi clan is definitely going to lose.”
“......”
The high-level figures of various factions had all sprung to their feet, staring wide-eyed at the thin figure. No one had thought that the Qiu clan could invite the Heavenly Spirit Sect’s super heaven pride!
It was no wonder the Qiu clan was so confident. It turned out that they had a trump card!
And amidst the shocked commotion, Yi Qianji’s, Liu Tianying’s and the others’ expressions rapidly changed. They stared intently at the figure that had appeared. “Mo Yuan? How could it be?!”
Even Yi Qiushui’s beautiful face turned ashen as a chill gradually gushed out from her heart.
In the face of that thin figure possessing great fame in the entire Tianyuan Region, even she, who was always calm and composed, felt a trace of despair.
Chapter 770 The Battle Begins
Countless people outside the huge stone platform fixed their shocked gazes on the thin figure in front of Qiu Ling. The name Mo Yuan was known throughout the entire Tianyuan Region.
There were only thirty-eight individuals from Tianyuan Region who were ranked on the Divine Dwelling List of Hunyuan Heaven.
Mo Yuan was ranked 36th among these 38 people. Despite being near the bottom, nobody dared to underestimate the weight of his ranking. After all, there were countless Divine Dwelling experts in Tianyuan Region, and anybody who managed stand out was definitely no ordinary person.
All thirty-eight Divine Dwelling rankers in Tianyuan Region were super heaven prides nutured by the top factions in the region. In the eyes of such titans, Xiaoxuan Prefecture was probably insignificant.
This was the reason why the various factions in Xuanzhou City were so shocked to see Mo Yuan appear.
It should be said that even though Mo Yuan was ranked 36th amongst the Tianyuan Region’s Divine Dwelling rankers, his strength was still extremely terrifying. Over the years, several dozen advanced Divine Dwelling experts had been killed by him and his battle achievements could be described as ferocious.
Therefore, at this moment Mo Yuan was like a lion charging into a pack of wolves, directly destroying the ecological balance of Xiaoxuan Prefecture.
Facing the fierce man whose name was known throughout Tianyuan Region, even Yi Qiushui was seen biting her red lips. “I didn’t expect the famous Mo Yuan to lower himself to participate in the Prefecture Lord battle. This is really a blessing of my Xiaoxuan Prefecture.”
There was just a touch of sarcasm in her voice.
She looked ahead to see the thin monkey-like young figure clasping a dark iron cudgel in one hand while staring nonchalantly at her as if regarding a weak little prey.
“It’s the fate of being in a sect.” Mo Yuan inserted the iron cudgel into the ground and cast an indifferent glance at Yi Qiushui. “But since I have come, there’s no need to waste time talking about nonsense.
“If you don’t have the guts to fight, just give up.
“And if you don’t want to admit defeat, let’s fight. I never hold back against an enemy. If someone is unfortunate enough to die under my iron cudgel, don’t blame me.”
Despite his calm tone, he was emitting a ferocious, vicious aura.
From the very beginning, his eyes had only paused on Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan. As for Zhou Yuan and the other two advanced Divine Dwelling experts, he didn’t even sweep a glance at them.
Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan wore solemn expressions on their faces, while a look of fear crossed the other tw
o advanced Divine Dwelling stage experts’ faces. They had heard of Mo Yuan’s terrifying name long ago.
The whole area was under Mo Yuan’s oppressive pressure.
Everybody in the Yi clan, including Yi Qianji and Liu Tianying, didn’t look too well. No one thought that the Qiu clan would be able to invite Mo Yuan. The reason why he would be able to do this was most likely because of Qiu Ling’s identity as a disciple of the Heavenly Spirit Sect.
Liu Ming also bit her red lips, her face slightly ashen. Even if she was proud of her older brother Liu Zhixuan, she also understood that in the face of Mo Yuan, a top existence of the Divine Dwelling stage, he had no chance of winning.
“What a bully,” she said in frustration.
The many people around the stone platform also felt a little uncomfortable. But they also understood that the Qiu clan didn’t violate any rules.
Invisible oppressive aura had already shrouded the tremendous stone platform.
Zhou Yuan looked at Yi Qiushui, who grew more and more quiet, and suddenly coughed, “To know the outcome of this battle, we will have to fight.”
He clearly didn’t want Yi Qiushui to lose her courage and retreat, because that would mean their deal was cancelled and he wouldn’t get any Divine Dwelling medicines as reward.
Yi Qiushui turned to look at Zhou Yuan, who was still smiling calmly at this very moment and did not seem to feel any fear because of Mo Yuan’s appearance.
Zhou Yuan’s calmness made Yi QIushui relax a little, but in her view, this was because Zhou Yuan didn’t understand the terror of Mo Yuan’s strength.
“This time if we lose, it won’t be your fault. I will still give you the Divine Dwelling medicines, but perhaps the amount won’t be as much. I hope you can understand,” she whispered.
As she finished, she smiled helplessly.
Zhou Yuan shook his head. “That won’t work. It has to be the amount you said before, which means we can’t lose.”
Yi Qiushui chuckled, took a deep breath and gradually restored her usual calm and composed manner. Her beautiful eyes shifted to Mo Yuan as she slowly said, “In that case, let us experience the strength of Mo Yuan, a ranker on the Divine Dwelling List.”
Mo Yuan nodded casually. He shot a glance at Zhou Yuan.
This boy of the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage is very calm, but I don’t know whether this is because he’s ignorant or has some ability?
But no matter what ability he has, he’s still only at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage.
He turned his head to say to Qiu Ling, “Leave that Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan to me.”
He had chosen to fight against two people at once.
Qiu Ling nodded with a smile. “Then I’ll go and avenge my brother first.”
His eyes gleamed with malice as he stared at Zhou Yuan.
“You three, get rid of the two advanced Divine Dwelling experts of the Yi clan.” With three against two, their side evidently had the absolute upper hand.
“Young master, don’t worry.” Qiu Ba and the others received the order with a smile.
Yi Qiushui’s heart immediately sank when she overheard the other side’s distribution of people, because her side would be at a disadvantage. She also didn’t know whether she and Liu Zhixuan would be able to withstand Mo Yuan.
Dong!
While thoughts were running through Yi Qiushui’s mind, a deafening metallic clang erupted from above the stone platform.
“Zhou Yuan, be careful!”
Yi Qiushui took a deep breath and then added, “If you can’t win...give up.”
When her voice faded, mighty Genesis Qi burst out from her body. She clenched her beautiful hand, and a long sword rippling with water emerged. The blade tore apart the ground as it passed.
Two Divine Dwelling halos formed behind her.
Liu Zhixuan also strode forth, revealing three Divine Dwelling halos behind him, and a majestic beam of Genesis Qi shot into the sky.
The other two experts of the Yi clan also similarly revealed three Divine Dwelling halos.
Chi!
Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan darted out at the same time, shooting directly in the direction of Mo Yuan. The surge of mighty Genesis Qi immediately stirred up thunder and storm.
“Hopefully, you won’t let me down too much.” Mo Yuan grinned when he saw the two people speeding over. His eyes blazed with battle intent. With the stamp of his feet, three eight-colored Divine Dwelling halos formed behind him.
Majestic Genesis Qi erupted out. It was obvious that his Genesis Qi foundation was far superior to that of Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan.
Three figures soared skywards and collided fiercely multiple times in midair.
At the same time, the three advanced Divine Dwelling experts of the Qiu clan charged towards the two advanced Divine Dwelling experts of the Yi clan.
The Prefecture Lord battle of Xiaoxuan Prefecture finally broke out.
Genesis Qi collided, stirring the wind and clouds, but Qiu Ling simply fixed his gaze on Zhou Yuan. He walked over slowly and said indifferently, “When I was at the city gate a few days ago, I told you to kneel down.
“But it’s too late now. Do you really think that Yi Qiushui can protect you? You are just a little mouse, but you got involved in a battle between the two families. You really are foolish.”
As Qiu Ling pressed closer, mighty Genesis Qi raged around him like a storm, and three Divine Dwelling halos appeared behind him.
He grinned at Zhou Yuan, like a cat teasing a mouse. “Say, how should I play with you?”
Chapter 771 Yi Qiushui’s Secret
Clang!
Above the platform, three figures, all pulsing with terrifying Genesis Qi, collided repeatedly. Metallic clangs rang out, and a berserk storm of Genesis Qi raged.
The three figures were Mo Yuan, Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan.
At this moment, almost 90% of people in the entire Xuanzhou City had focused their attention on these three people, and the other three battles were almost ignored.
Everyone knew that today’s focus was on Mo Yuan, and the others only served as contrast.
Almost all the people present had heard of Mo Yuan’s name before, but only very few people had seen him in action. Therefore, they really wanted to see how powerful the super heaven pride ranked on the Divine Dwelling List could be when fighting against two people at once.
Shock waves of Genesis Qi gushed out, destroying the clouds at a high altitude, but Mo Yuan’s figure stood motionless in the air like a rock, while Liu Zhixuan and Yi Qiushui were both blasted away.
From the first contact, Yi Qiushui and Liu Zhixuan were already aware that Mo Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation was extremely powerful.
“So strong, no wonder he is ranked on the Divine Dwelling List!” A solemn expression crossed Liu Zhixuan’s face.
“You’re not bad. If you were given a few more years to strengthen your foundation, you would also have a chance to be ranked on the Divine Dwelling List,” Mo Yuan remarked indifferently. “But right now, even if you two join forces, you’re still no match for me.”
Boom!
His voice faded, and his figure suddenly shot out, appearing mysteriously above the two like a ghost. He fiercely swung down the black iron cudgel in his hands, and scarlet-red Genesis Qi engulfed everything like a sea of flames.
“Prairie Fire of the Scarlet Sea!”
In the scarlet sea were endless cudgel shadows, enveloping the two people.
Feeling the mighty scarlet sea descending from the sky, Liu Zhixuan’s face grew increasingly solemn. “Qiushui, I will try to stop him!”
As he clenched his hand, a long silver-and-white spear flashed out, swallowing the Genesis Qi of the universe. The spear light stretched indefinitely, tearing the surrounding space apart.
“Heaven-tier Genesis technique, Silver Dragon Transformation!”
Surging Genesis Qi gushed out, rising sharply as it met the wind, and vaguely a faint dragon roar
could be heard. As Liu Zhixuan’s spear swung across the air, a silvery light dragon of several hundred feet came roaring out and directly collided with the scarlet sea.
Bang!
A violent explosion spread out at high altitude.
Countless cudgel shadows, containing astonishing Genesis Qi, bombarded the silver light dragon with thunderous power. In less than ten breaths, the light dragon shattered.
“Heaven-tier Genesis technique, Ten Thousand Stars!”
But in the moment the dragon disintegrated, a sweet voice sounded, and a stream of mighty Genesis Qi containing tens of thousands of stars whizzed out. Each star was refined from the most powerful Genesis Qi.
Boom!
The ten thousand stars of Genesis Qi collided with the scarlet sea, producing frantic explosive noises.
The thousands of stars and the scarlet sea constantly diminished during the collision, but just as both were about to disperse completely, an illusory cudgel shadow suddenly sped out, aiming for Yi Qiushui’s face with lightning speed.
Yi Qiushui was slightly started, but two Divine Dwelling halos instantly appeared in front of her, withstanding the cudgel shadow.
Bang!
Shock waves raged, causing Yi Qiushui’s delicate body to tremble until she was directly blasted away.
The exchange of moves between the two sides happened at lightning speed, which was too fast for the majority of eyes to take in. Gasps of astonishment sounded all around Xuanzhou City.
In numerous people’s eyes, Liu Zhixuan and Yi Qiushui’s offensives were already terrifyingly strong, but even so, Mo Yuan still had the upper hand.
“Mo Yuan’s Genesis Qi foundation is too strong. I estimate that the Genesis Qi in his Divine Dwelling have reached at least six million Genesis Qi stars.”
“It’s terrifying. It’s already incredibly hard to achieve four million Genesis Qi stars for advanced Divine Dwelling experts.”
“......”
There was constant whispering.
On the Yi clan’s side, Yi Qianji, Liu Tianying and the other Heavenly Sun experts all wore solemn expressions. The youngsters beside them, including Liu Ming, were so nervous that their hands were dripping with sweat.
