Meanwhile, Yi Qiushui also sensed the atmosphere change. A fierce look arose in her eyes as she immediately gave a command. Torrential Genesis Qi exploded from the Tianyuan Region group as they faced the other two teams.
“It seems that the negotiations have fallen through.” Shang Xiaoling’s expression was grave.
Yi Qiushui nodded. “Act according to the plan.”
On the way here, Zhou Yuan had already anticipated this outcome and had come up with a countermeasure.
“Are we really going to release all of our Genesis Qi when we fight?” Shang Xiaoling was a little hesitant. After arriving at the Fallen Abyss, it had become rather difficult to replenish their Genesis Qi, causing them to use it sparingly. However, Zhou Yuan’s plan was for them to use their Genesis Qi without reservation.
But if they did so, though their battle power would be greater, what would they do about their Genesis Qi consumption? Much time would undoubtedly be wasted if they had to stay here to recover.
Yi Qiushui was silent for a moment before she said, “Do as he says. Only by overcoming the now will we have a next time.”
Shang Xiaoling said nothing further on this topic and swiftly disseminated the instructions.
Genesis Qi unfurled as the three parties faced each other.
On the hill, Zhou Yuan likewise sensed the face-off behind them. He tilted his head, shot a glance at Zhao Yunxiao, then turned towards Liu Qingshu with a smile. “Are the two of you planning to attack me together?”
Liu Qingshu displayed a faint smile and answered, “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan is the number one Divine Dwelling expert of the Tianyuan Region after all. Isn’t it logical for us to give you such respect?”
She was very cunning. Although she appeared to have nothing but disdain for Zhou Yuan’s status, she did not hesitate to use the numbers advantage against him.
She was completely oblivious to the mockery in Zhou Yuan’s words.
The prettier a woman, the more dangerous she was.
Zhou Yuan’s expression remained nonchalant. “Is this your final decision?”
Zhao Yunxiao let out an icy chuckle. “Zhou Yuan, are you still going to put up an act at this juncture? Do you really believe your ninth rank has any worth in our eyes?
“I may have failed to kill you in a single strike back then, but you can try me again today!”
Zhao Yunxiao was very envious of Zhou Yuan’s current status. After all, the Tianyuan Region was still one of the nine regions no matter how much it had fallen. As someone who could become the core of one of the nine regions, Zhou Yuan’s status was essentially equal to Wu Yao’s, the very same status Zhao Yunxiao had failed to achieve even after working hard for many years.
And yet, this Cangxuan Heaven country bumpkin, whom he had only disdain for, had actually achieved it!
Rumble!
Boundless Genesis Qi abruptly soared into the sky. Genesis Qi sparkled in the air, revealing countless stars. There were a total of 33 million!
Such Genesis Qi foundations were stronger than Lu Hai’s and the others’. From this, one could see how much strength the Wushen Region’s heaven prides had concealed. It was all for the sake of astonishing everyone in the nine regions tournament.
As Zhao Yunxiao felt the boundless power in his body, his heart overflowed with confidence. He cast a disdainful glance at Zhou Yuan and shouted, “Zhou Yuan, since you cannot appreciate our kind gesture, I will make you understand that you don’t even have the qualifications to bargain with us!
“Since you spat in our faces, don’t blame me for stomping your face into the mud!”
Chapter 948 Wushen Hex and Six Dragon Circlets
Rumble!
Thirty-three million Genesis Qi stars twinkled in the air as an imposing pressure spread from Zhao Yunxiao.
This was not the end. He fiercely stared at Zhou Yuan and sneered, “Zhou Yuan, I know that your Tianyuan Region has the four spirit runes, but do you think the other eight regions do not have something similar?
“I’m going to show you the huge disparity between the heaven prides of our eight regions and the so-called heaven prides of the top-tier factions you’ve defeated before!”
As his shout rang out, Zhao Yunxiao’s hands rapidly formed a series of seals.
“Wushen Hex!”
A peculiar undulation pulsed from Zhao Yunxiao’s body. Zhou Yuan watched as curse seals slowly appeared on the surface of Zhao Yunxiao’s skin.
There were a total of four curse seals!
The appearance of each curse seal made the Genesis Qi stars behind Zhao Yunxiao jump in number by 3 million!
When all four curse seals appeared, his Genesis Qi rose to 45 million!
Zhou Yuan’s composed face finally changed a little as he stared at the glowing curse seals that had appeared on Zhao Yunxiao’s body. So this is the Wushen Hex, a secret technique similar to the four spirit runes that could temporarily boost one’s Genesis Qi foundations.
The Wushen Hex was not the least bit inferior to the four spirit runes.
This was the first time Zhou Yuan had seen a technique that could match the four spirit runes since arriving in Hunyuan Heaven. The nine regions did live up to their reputation.
At the sight of Zhou Yuan’s expression, Zhao Yunxiao laughed and said, “The Wushen Hex has a total of five curse seals, but I’ve only reached the stage of having four curse seals. If you meet junior sister Wu Yao, she will let you experience the might of the complete Wushen Hex.”
Zhou Yuan slowly calculated in his mind: Each curse seal can add 3 million Genesis Qi stars, so five would be 15 million. In a certain manner of speaking, it was a little stronger than the four spirit runes.
Of course, if he activated the second form of the four spirit runes, the Four Spirits Origin Diagram, the four spirit runes would be a little stronger than the Wushen Hex.
At that level, however, a small boost would not bring about a significant advantage.
In other words, the four spirit runes would not let him steamroll the apex heaven prides of the nine regions because the other eight regions also had something similar.
It seems that the heaven prides from the other eight regions can’t be underestimated. Zhou Yuan sighed inwardly.
Of course, he was not referring to the likes of Zhao Yunxiao, but Wu Yao...
While various thoughts swirled in Zhou Yuan’s head, an astonishing wave of Genesis Qi suddenly erupted behind him. He tilted his head slightly to see Liu Qingshu’s figure rise into the air as boundless Genesis Qi rippled from her body.
Her Genesis Qi foundations were even stronger than Zhao Yunxiao, reaching a total of 35 million!
“Since the Wushen Region has shown their secret technique, I’ll also invite chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan to give his opinion on my Wanzu Region’s technique.”
Her hands met in front of her, and the roar of a dragon echoed in the surroundings. Four rings of light appeared around her slender body, and dragon silhouettes coiled around the glowing rings, giving off an alarming pressure.
Her Genesis Qi rapidly rose by 12 million, reaching a total of 47 million!
“This is the secret technique of my Wanzu Region, the Six Dragon Circlets. However, I’ve only reached the four-circlet stage due to my insufficient talent.” Liu Qingshu chuckled softly.
Zhou Yuan raised his eyelids. Liu Qingshu was stronger than before.
It was honestly somewhat depressing. The heaven prides from the other eight regions had concealed their strength, while the Tianyuan Region was just...weak.
Without him, the Tianyuan Region would essentially be a punching bag during the nine regions tournament.
Master, if you keep on being absent, the situation might become dire for the Tianyuan Region. Zhou Yuan sighed inwardly. The Tianyuan Region was far too big of a property and was easily coveted by others. Furthermore, things were worsening over the years, and there was definitely an extremely powerful existence secretly pushing things along in th
e dark. From how the Wanzu Region had targeted him previously, that powerful existence might be supreme sovereign Wan Zu.
Zhou Yuan appeared a little distracted as he thought about this.
Liu Qingshu’s eyes flashed, and she suddenly flicked her finger.
Boom!
The ground under Zhou Yuan’s feet suddenly crumbled as countless streams of Genesis Qi broke out and swiftly wrapped around his body like a python.
Liu Qingshu smiled and said, “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, getting distracted is not a good habit.”
Rumble!
Zhao Yunxiao released a howl as boundless Genesis Qi surged out from behind him like layers of dark clouds. A terrifying pressure spread out, and he appeared behind Zhou Yuan in a flash.
He threw a punch, and the surrounding space shook, an enormous crack emerging under his feet.
“Zhou Yuan, I may have failed to kill you in a single punch back then, but I will make up for it this time!”
Zhao Yunxiao’s laughter boomed like thunder. He had taken the split-second opportunity when Zhou Yuan was being bound to send a vicious punch toward his back.
The disdain in Liu Qingshu’s eyes grew even greater. What chief pavilion master of the Tianyuan Region? What a fool to have succumbed to any random move. Su Youwei must be blind to implicate herself with such a person, disgracing someone of her status for no reason.
Thud!
Boundless Genesis Qi exploded on Zhou Yuan’s back.
However, Zhao Yunxiao’s expression abruptly changed. He had discovered that Zhou Yuan’s figure had burst apart and flowed downwards like a shadow.
“Oh, no!” His heart sank, but before he could move, the shadow reformed behind him.
“I would be more careful if it were Wu Yao and Zhao Mushen, but who the hell do you think the two of you are?”
Zhou Yuan merely let them jump about because he wanted to see the secret techniques of the Wushen and Wanzu Regions.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes were indifferent. A split second later, 38 Genesis Qi stars exploded.
Four spirit runes activate!
Four Spirits Origin Diagram!
Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi leaped directly to 58 million!
“Mythic Saint Body!”
Dazzling jade light erupted from his body.
“Azure serpent form!”
Azure scales emerged layer by layer.
Zhou Yuan’s presence rapidly grew, reaching an alarming level.
His eyes remained indifferent as his palm swatted forth. Vast Genesis Qi surged under his palm, blasting apart the space in its path as it swept towards Zhao Yunxiao like a tidal wave.
Horror came to Zhao Yunxiao’s face. Only then did he realize that his information about Zhou Yuan was outdated. The power Zhou Yuan displayed was far greater than before!
Genesis Qi frantically surged in Zhao Yunxiao’s body as he roared, “Wushen Armor!”
Genesis Qi condensed outside his skin, forming an offensive battle armor. The battle armor was different from Silver Shadow. One was a Genesis technique, while the other was made from Genesis Qi. This was Zhao Yunxiao’s strongest defense!
He knew that he only needed to delay Zhou Yuan for an instant, and Liu Qingshu would find an opportunity to help him out of this difficult situation.
When the Genesis Qi battle armor took shape, Zhou Yuan’s palm finally arrived.
Clang!
A ripple visible to the naked eye unfurled, and the entire hill crumbled, dust filling the air.
Crack!
The Wushen Armor Zhao Yunxiao had placed his hopes on did not live up to his expectations. Cracks swiftly spread across his armor, and it burst apart with a bang.
Urgh!
Berserk energy swept into his body like a flood. Zhao Yunxiao cried out in misery as blood wildly spurted from his mouth.
His body flew like a cannonball, blasting through several hills along the way.
Thud!
In the end, he smeared a several-thousand-foot-long track on the ground before a pile of dirt buried him.
The dust in the air slowly fell.
Some distance away, the three teams stared at the scene in shock.
No one had expected that after such a long wind-up time, Zhao Yunxiao, who had seemed so overwhelming, would be swatted away by Zhou Yuan in a single strike.
Moreover, Zhou Yuan had found the chance to send out this fight-ending strike in a two-versus-one situation.
The silence lasted for a moment before Zhou Yuan let out a soft sigh. He indifferently looked towards the pile of dirt in the distance as he said, “Your sneak attack has been repaid…”
If you survive it.
Chapter 949 Swallow Everything
The dust and smoke above the ground continued to spread.
All eyes were fixed on the cracks in astonishment. Zhao Yuanxiao’s imposing, icy-cold bearing was still deep in their minds when they witnessed Zhou Yuan blast him away with one punch.
Zhou Yuan was that strong?
Seeing this scene, Liu Qingshu, who was hovering in mid-air, couldn’t stop the expression on her pretty face from changing dramatically. She might be stronger than Zhao Yuanxiao, but her strength was still limited. Since Zhou Yuan was able to defeat Zhao Yuanxiao with one punch, his attack would most likely do the same to her.
Her eyes flashed, and she suddenly yelled out, “Everyone of the Wushen Region, hurry and destroy the Tianyuan Region’s team to avenge Zhao Yuanxiao!”
Not far away, a commotion broke out in the Wushen Region’s team. It was clear that Zhao Yuanxiao’s defeat had created a bit of panic and confusion.
During their hesitation, the Wushen Region’s team heard a battle cry behind them, and they turned and saw the Wanzu Region’s team charging toward them and racing towards the Tianyuan Region’s people. This forced the Wushen Region’s team to speed up.
The Wushen Region’s team exploded in rage. Genesis Qi surged out, and they launched attacks at the Tianyuan Region’s team.
But Zhou Yuan, who was situated up high, could see that the people in front were mostly all the Wushen Region’s people, while the people at the back belonged to the Wanzu Region. In other words, the Wushen Region’s team would bear the brunt of the counterattack from the Tianyuan Region.
“Liu Qingshu is very cruel-hearted.”
Zhou Yuan glanced over Liu Qingshui. This woman looks sweet and beautiful but is so cruel-hearted.
As the two teams raced over, Yi Qiushui’s pretty face turned solemn, and she thundered, “Attack!”
The Tianyuan Region’s team had been prepared for a long time, and they erupted with Genesis Qi, using the gushes of Genesis Qi to bombard the two teams racing over.
Bang!
The mountains crumbled and flattened, the repeated bombardments resembling lightning striking down.
The Tianyuan Region’s unreserved attack caught the Wushen Region and Wanzu Region teams off guard, causing significant damage to both. The markings on many people’s bodies were destroyed, which triggered the space to distort and form vortexes that swallowed their bodies.
They were directly kicked out of the mini domain.
The Wushen Region and Wanzu Region teams were both suppressed to the point they couldn’t lift their heads. They looked at the Tianyuan Region’s people like they were looking at lunatics because they realized that the Tianyuan Region’s people had no intention of using their Genesis Qi sparingly.
How do they plan to recover from their unrestrained attacks? Do they even plan to continue to compete for the next mini domain?
Liu Qingshu similarly watched them in disbelief, then sneered at Zhou Yuan. “Chief pavilion master Zhou Yuan, you only care about the present. Do you plan to let your team do nothing for the next period of time just to have this mini domain?”
One recovered Genesis Qi in the Fallen Abyss very slowly, so each team would try to save their Genesis Qi or use it sparingly. It was rare to see someone use all his strength at once like
Zhou Yuan and his team.
Zhou Yuan's expression remained indifferent, and he was too lazy to explain things to Liu Qiushui. With a slight movement, he turned into a stream of light and shot towards her direction.
Liu Qingshu rapidly drew back, her expression changing drastically.
After witnessing Zhou Yuanxiao’s one-punch defeat, she didn’t dare to face Zhou Yuan head-on.
While retreating, she motioned to the dozens of people of the Wanzu Region. They were all Wanzu Region elites who were at the advanced Divine Dwelling stage.
They rushed straight towards Zhou Yuan, clearly intending to help Liu Qingshu.
Seeing this from a distance, Yi Qiushui immediately commanded the team to launch a stronger attack, thereby severely wounding the teams of the Wanzu and Wushen Regions.
Boom!
Genesis Qi burst forth from the dozens of advanced Divine Dwelling stage elites, pierced the void, and blasted towards Zhou Yuan with terrifying power.
Zhou Yuan clenched his hand, and a sword pill slowly rose.
Dozens of sword lights slashed out, slicing the Genesis Qi to pieces. His eyes were biting cold as he turned into a shadow and vanished.
“Be careful!” Liu Qingshu hurriedly warned.
She, who was proficient in movement-type Genesis techniques, could easily evade Zhou Yuan’s attack, but the others weren’t as fast.
Swoosh!
Her voice had only just faded when Zhou Yuan reappeared in front of a Wanzu Region expert. The sword pill in his hand unleashed rays of dazzling sword light, like comets streaking across the sky, and it slashed at the expert’s body.
“Ah!”
The Wanzu Region expert let out a tragic wail. His body plummeted, and the marking on his body exploded, causing the space to twist and swallow him.
As soon as his attack succeeded, Zhou Yuan swiftly turned into a shadow and vanished again.
In mid-air, the dozen Wanzu Region experts were thrown into disorder, and whenever Zhou Yuan’s figure appeared, one person was kicked out of the small space.
Liu Qingshu’s pretty face was livid, but there was nothing she could do to Zhou Yuan. For a moment, she regretted provoking him.
