Although the Genesis Rune boundary could block the majority of the movements inside, with careful perception, they could still detect what was going on. Therefore, they could judge how the battle was progressing from a distance.
Just as Fang Ao had imagined, shortly after the Genesis Rune boundary was formed, there were already strange movements.
It was a collision of powerful Genesis Qi.
Vaguely, Fang Ao also seemed to hear the roar of a furious beast.
“I really want to see how miserable they are at this moment.” Fang Ao stretched his back. Even if the Sky Obscurer Beast was seriously wounded, it was still a grade-six Genesis Beast. If Zhou Yuan and the others wanted to kill it, they would certainly have to pay a high price.
But unfortunately, since he was a fisherman, he naturally had to make his appearance at the last moment.
On the Fire Pavilion’s side, in addition to Fang Ao and Zhu Lian, there were five other people following them. They were all elites from the Fire Pavilion with strength of the advanced Divine Dwelling stage. One after another they all burst into laughter upon hearing Fang Ao’s ridicule.
It could be seen that the atmosphere was very casual, and they didn’t really attach any importance to Zhou Yuan and the others.
After all, given their strength, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to swallow Zhou Yuan and the others in a battle, not to mention they were currently fishermen acting in the dark. They were confident of success with this task.
Fang Ao sat comfortably on a tree stump, staring into the distance with narrowed eyes like a venomous snake. He carefully sensed the waves of Genesis Qi constantly being released. Although he couldn’t see the situation inside, a clear picture was being outlined in his mind.
Like a dog that boy must be being chased by the Sky Obscurer Beast now, right?
Fang Ao calculated the time, and almost an hour later, he suddenly stood up.
“It’s almost time. Both sides should be exhausted now.” He smiled calmly like everything was under control.
“Let’s go!”
Zhu Lian could only stand alone and watch them leave, his expression discontent.
Under the cover of heavy rain, Fang Ao and his group of people quietly drew closer to the Genesis Rune boundary. Upon close observation, the boundary in front of them was like an invisible barrier and was indeed difficult to discover without a careful look.
“That kid’s mastery in Genesis Runes is pretty good,” Fang Ao said with a cold smile.
He stretched out his hand, and Genesis Qi visibly gathered in his palm. He stroked the Genesis Rune boundary in front of him.
Immediately, he easily tore open the boundary. He gave a hand signal, and the several people behind him stormed through.
The moment they entered, Fang Ao looked ahead and was immediately stunned for a moment.
Inside wasn’t the mess that he had imagined. Instead it was peaceful. In particular, they couldn’t see the shadow of the Sky Obscurer Beast, and no matter how they looked around, it didn’t seem like a battle had occurred.
What was the movement he had perceived earlier?
“What’s going on? Where are the people?!” the several people behind Fang Ao asked puzzledly.
Fang Ao was silent for a good while; then his face changed drastically. “This is bad, it’s a trap! Go back!”
He twisted around and slammed his palm into the Genesis Rune boundary.
Om!
But this time, the Genesis Rune boundary seemed to have changed, and mighty Genesis Qi burst forth to block Fang Ao’s palm strike.
“Quick, destroy the boundary together!” Fang Ao commanded, his face ashen.
But just as they were about to do so, a sudden burst of laughter rang out, “You’re leaving so soon?”
Fang Ao twisted around only to see that the void not far away was rippling and several figures were appearing. Who else would it be besides Zhou Yuan? And behind Zhou Yuan, Ye Bingling and the others were also looking at them in shock.
Fang Ao gritted his teeth, “Zhou Yuan, you knew we were following you?!”
Zhou Yuan grinned. Lu Xiao’s investigation into him was very secretive, and he really wouldn’t have realised given his identity and influence, but he wasn’t alone!
He had his senior sister. Although his senior sister had placed him in the Wind Pavilion to let him develop, she was still very concerned about the safety of her little junior brother.
So when Lu Xiao was finding out about his whereabouts, Chi Jing naturally informed Zhou Yuan of the matter and told him to act carefully.
This led to the good show unfolding before them.
“Zhou Yuan, withdraw the Genesis Rune boundary!” Fang Ao thundered.
“Deputy pavilion master Fang Ao must be here to watch the show? The good show has just started, it would be a shame to leave so early.” Zhou Yuan’s mouth was curled in a strange smile.
“What do you want?” Fang Ao felt a little uneasy.
PA!
Zhou Yuan snapped his fingers.
Boom!
It was at this moment that a loud explosion of Genesis Qi sounded in the distant abyss, and then, an angry beast roared fiercely and deafeningly.
Zhou Yuan’s hand seal changed. Clouds and mist rolled in and quickly shrouded their figures. They immediately disappeared into the boundary.
Swoosh!
But Fang Ao’s and the others’ expressions changed drastically when they saw a huge black shadow rising up from the abyss. Its pair of scarlet eyes was directly locked on Fang Ao and the others.
It was also aware of the Genesis Rune boundary shrouding the area and so felt that this was the encirclement and suppression of the Tianyuan Region and that Fang Ao and others were obviously the culprits.
Fang Ao and the others felt a chill rushing up to their heads from the soles of their feet when met with the beast’s crimson eyes, which were full of rage.
How could they not understand that they had fallen into Zhou Yuan’s trap!
Who said the fisherman takes advantage from the fight between the snipe and the clam? They claimed to be the fishermen, but they didn’t expect the fishermen watching the battle would suddenly be forcibly drawn into the battle circle. As a result, there was a direct swap in the identities of the fishermen and the prey.
Chapter 840 Fishermen become henchmen
In the Genesis Rune boundary within the rainforest.
Fang Ao and his party all had ashen faces. The Sky Obscurer Beast was staring directly at them with a murderous glint in its eyes. They never would have thought that their group of fishermen would become Zhou Yuan’s henchmen in the end.
Zhou Yuan clearly wanted them to fight the Sky Obscurer Beast first.
“Go, break the boundary!” Fang Ao roared.
As long as they could break the boundary, they could retreat since their goal wasn’t the Sky Obscurer Beast. That bastard Zhou Yuan was dreaming if he wanted them to become his infantry!
Boom!
However, the moment his voice faded, a torrent of Genesis Qi roared out of the void behind them, speeding fiercely towards the distant Sky Obscurer Beast.
Roar!
The Sky Obscurer Beast roared skywards, sending sound waves rolling towards the torrent of Genesis Qi. The sound waves shattered it before it neared the Genesis Beast.
Although destroyed, the torrent of Genesis Qi was undoubtedly seen as a provocation. The Sky Obscurer Beast emitted a raging roar as it stared at Fang Ao and the others with its scarlet eyes. Berserk, black Genesis Qi raged like a storm around its body.
It opened its huge mouth, spewing out black Genesis Qi. The qi transformed into streams of black light and wrapped around Fang Ao and the others.
“Stupid, we didn’t hit you!” Fang Ao was so angry that he almost spat out blood. Although the Sky Obscurer Beast was a grade-six Genesis Beast and possessed quite a high intelligence, in the end it still couldn’t compare to human beings.
“Quic
kly leave!” Fang Ao urged urgently. He didn’t dare to underestimate the Sky Obscurer Beast’s power.
His group of people flashed away, quickly evading the attack like flies flying disorderly in the sky.
Seeing that its attack failed, the Sky Obscurer Beast became even more enraged. The sound wave of its roar tore apart the nearby towering trees as it shot toward Fang Ao and the others.
Fang Ao and the others rapidly retreated. They wanted to avoid fighting the Sky Obscurer Beast because doing so would help Zhou Yuan. However, the beast saw them as the same group as Zhou Yuan and attacked without any hesitation. It wanted to mercilessly rip them apart.
They wanted to find a chance to attack the boundary, but under the Sky Obscurer Beast’s attacks, they couldn’t spare any attention. Even if they could occasionally attack the boundary’s Genesis Qi, the damage would silently be restored. It was obvious the doings of Zhou Yuan and the others! How cunning!
For a moment, the scene was extremely chaotic.
The Sky Obscurer Beast chased after Fang Ao and the rest, berserk Genesis Qi continuing to rage.
Under its pursuit and attack, Fang Ao and others looked extremely miserable. Several times they were injured and almost killed, filling Fang Ao with pent-up anger.
After several times, Fang Ao finally roared, “Let’s attack together, kill this beast first!”
If they were to continue to evade, the Sky Obscure Beast would no doubt find a chance to strike them, so they had to kill the beast first before they could settle things with Zhou Yuan!
Boom!
Fang Ao’s voice faded, and he was the first to act. He folded his hands together. Silver Genesis Qi erupted like a torrent of billions of silver needles, striking the Sky Obscurer Beast with an extremely sharp aura.
The others also launched attacks one after another. The torrent of Genesis Qi wrapped in a powerful force repeatedly bombarded the huge body of the Sky Obscurer Beast.
Rumble!
The joint attacks of Fang Ao and the others blasted the Sky Obscurer Beast back again and again, and the scars that already existed on its body tore open, causing blood to gush out.
Roar!
However, the severe pain only made the beast fiercer than before. It frantically tore apart its opponents’ bombardment of Genesis Qi.
The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, destroying the vast rainforest beneath them.
Behind the clouds and mist, Zhou Yuan smiled at the battle below; Ye Bingling, Xiao Hong and the others were staring blankly.
“Why did Fang Ao appear here?” Ye Bingling finally couldn’t help but ask.
“Of course he came for me.” Zhou Yuan answered with a faint smile.
Ye Bingling’s tone suddenly changed as though she realised something. “Lu Xiao is really audacious!”
He dared to use such an underhanded method to attack the Wind Pavilion’s pavilion master? How audacious is that?
Xiao Hong and the others also reddened in anger. The Wind Pavilion had seized the commercial interests of the Fire Pavilion, but this was legitimate competition. However, the Fire Pavilion’s move wasn’t justified. If this matter were made known, it would inevitably cause a lot of shock.
“But you knew they were going to deal with you?” Ye Bingling sounded a little surprised. They already found it strange when Zhou Yuan previously arranged the Genesis Rune boundary since it wasn’t the movement concealment boundary.
This boundary turned out to be a trap set by Zhou Yuan!
Zhou Yuan smiled. “How can you be careless if you offend someone?”
He certainly wouldn’t say it was because of Chi Jing’s reminder since that would undoubtedly expose their relationship and cause unnecessary trouble.
Ye Bingling nodded and didn’t think much about it. Her anger eased a lot when she looked at the scene below again. “Fang Ao thought he could sit and watch us fight the Sky Obscurer Beast, while he himself played fisherman. In the end you pulled him into the water too...”
The others couldn’t help but laugh. Fang Ao and the others must be suffocating right now, aren’t they?
“But this is good. The Sky Obscurer Beast’s injury isn’t as serious as we thought. It’s good that Fang Ao and the others are fighting the first wave,” said Xiao Hong.
Zhou Yuan also nodded. He carefully watched the fierce battle below. The Sky Obscurer Beast’s attacks were extremely fierce, and based on the present situation, there would soon be casualties on Fang Ao’s side.
However, Zhou Yuan didn’t feel sympathetic towards them. His eyes were filled with an icy coldness and intent because he knew that Fang Ao had secretly followed them with the intent to kill.
If it weren’t for his senior sister Chi Jing, how could he, a pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion, win against Lu Xiao, who had the support of the Heavenly Spirit Sect?
And without his senior sister Chi Jing’s reminder, he really might have fallen into the scheme created by Lu Xiao and Fang Ao this time.
They would be exhausted from the fight against the Sky Obscurer Beast, while Fang Ao would appear on the stage with a smile. The result would not have been positive for them.
Since the other side was so merciless, he naturally wasn’t interested in being a good person to them.
So this time, Fang Ao must die!
Even if the Sky Obscurer Beast didn’t kill him, Zhou Yuan would.
As for the consequences of his death, Zhou Yuan didn’t plan to consider it. After all, Fang Ao was the one who had broken the rules. No matter how Zhou Yuan responded, he was in the right.
Zhou Yuan folded his arms and looked coldly at Fang Ao, who was commanding everyone to fight against the Sky Obscurer Beast. He knew that although it was Fang Ao who had appeared before them, Fang Ao didn’t have the intelligence to come up with such a plan. Therefore, the person behind them had to be Lu Xiao.
But no matter what, Zhou Yuan had to first cut off Lu Xiao’s right arm. Only then would he have an opportunity to get rid of him in the future!
Chapter 841 Spirit Devour
Boom!
Berserk Genesis Qi exploded outward, tearing apart the forest below.
The Sky Obscurer Beast forcibly withstood the impact with its tremendous body. It immediately transformed into a stream of black light and appeared behind an advanced Divine Dwelling stage expert from the Fire Pavilion. Its sharp claws, wrapped in powerful Genesis Qi, slashed out, causing even space to quake.
Chi!
The Divine Dwelling stage expert let out an anguished scream before his body was ripped into two halves and his blood splattered everywhere. The Sky Obscurer Beast crushed the expert’s head to pieces with its teeth, making it impossible for even his spirit to escape. He died a complete death.
The Sky Obscurer Beast chewed his head, blood and brains trickling between its sharp teeth. Its scarlet eyes were transfixed on Fang Ao and the others.
“Beast!”
Fang Ao trembled with anger. The four advanced Divine Dwelling stage experts he had brought with him were considered his strongest people, so if he was to lose them all, it would be incredibly heart aching.
“Brother Fang, we can’t go on any longer. We can’t last against that beast!” Another advanced Divine Dwelling stage expert had a forehead beaded with sweat, his eyes wide with fear. They finally knew the terrifying ability and nature of the Sky Obscurer Beast. Even in a severely wounded state it could still crush several of them at once.
With an ashen face, Fang Ao roared, “Zhou Yuan, you dare set up this trap for me? Even if we die here, don’t think you will have an easy time!
“Let me tell you, my master is hall master Xi Guang, the master of the Silver Light Hall of the Heavenly Spirit Sect!
“If you open the boundary now and let us go, I can let you off for what happened today! Otherwise, if I die here, my master will never let you go!”
Somewhere in the void, Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. The Silver Light Hall, one of the nine p
alace halls of the Heavenly Spirit Sect?
Ye Bingling, who was beside him, also clenched her teeth, and whispered, “Fang Ao’s master is indeed the Silver Light Hall’s hall master, Xi Quang.”
The expression of the others also turned solemn. As a hall master of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Xi Guang was clearly an important figure that was far beyond their reach.
But Zhou Yuan’s expression still remained surprisingly calm. Fang Ao was the one who used ruthless methods against them. Since he was the one who brought about his own death, Zhou Yuan naturally didn’t plan to let him go. Let alone the fact that his master was the Silver Light Hall’s hall master, even if it were sect master Xuan Kun of the Heavenly Spirit Sect, Fang Ao would still die that day!
If Zhou Yuan let him go, it would be even more troublesome.
“Don’t worry about it. Even if this matter is passed back to the Tianyuan Utopia, Lady Chi Jing will stand up for us.” Zhou Yuan waved his hand indifferently.
When the others saw his calm appearance, they murmured to themselves that it was no wonder that Zhou Yuan wasn’t afraid of Fang Ao—he had a powerful backer.
Seeing that there was no response from Zhou Yuan, Fang Ao’s eyes flashed with anger and a sinister glint. But before he could say anything, the Sky Obscurer Beast was already maliciously speeding across the air toward him.
Fang Ao frantically drew back, thundering, “You guys block it for a moment! I’m going to kill it!”
He folded his palms together, and a silver light slowly rose from the top of his head. Within the silver light, a long silver needle of several inches long was faintly visible. An indescribable sharp qi suddenly spread out, causing the surrounding void to split apart.
It was obvious that Fang Ao was about to use a killing move.
The Sky Obscurer Beast similarly detected danger. A fierce glint flashed in its eyes, and its speed suddenly skyrocketed. A black torrent of Genesis Qi shot out from its mouth and directly struck the face of an advanced Divine Dwelling expert.
Boom!
The opponent’s entire head was smashed to pieces along with his spirit.
The remaining two advanced Divine Dwelling experts trembled with fear. Although they had injured the Sky Obscurer Beast some, they knew they were not on the same level as their opponent, who could kill with one strike.
