Chapter 815 (1/2)
Indeed, there was a rule in the Grand Tournament of the Saint Lands that states that the Lord of a Saint Land could choose to replace himself with whomever that was sent into combat from his corner whenever he pleased. However, there was a condition that mentioned that the Lord of the Saint Land must not fail. Once he did, it would be equivalent to the disqualification of that Saint Land. Therefore, the Lord of the Saint Lands would usually choose to fight in the last battle to be the one to determine their victory. Nobody expected Zhou Weiqing to fight when the tables were turned to the advantage of the Peerless Sect.
Did they really not have anyone else like Tian Yu claimed? However, the lady wearing the hood who killed the Heavenly King from the Blood Red Hell was at least a powerhouse with the cultivation base of a Heavenly Emperor. In terms of power, she might even be on par with Wu Yunyue… So why did they let Zhou Weiqing fight instead of her?
Everyone was confused by the odd strategy that Zhou Weiqing was using. Xue Ao’Tian then said in his deep voice, “There really is such a rule in the tournament, but are you sure you want to fight? As soon as you lose, your Peerless Sect will no longer be able to join the rest of the Grand Tournament of the Saint Lands.”
Zhou Weiqing naturally lifted his hand, held Shangguan Xue’er’s slender waist and said, “Yes. I’m sure. I want to fight.”
Shangguan Xue’er moved her waist away slightly and avoided Zhou Weiqing’s beastly hand. She rolled her eyes at him without saying anything and walked straight back to the Peerless Sect’s corner. Zhou Weiqing retrieved his hand awkwardly and coughed twice before saying to Tian Yu, “Please.”
Tian Yu instantly became more anxious when Shangguan Xue’er was replaced by Zhou Weiqing. No matter how young Zhou Weiqing was, he was the Lord of a Saint Land, unmatched by those in his generation. Besides, judging from Zhou Weiqing’s clash with Fen Tian earlier, his ability was definitely not weak. Under such conditions, Tian Yu did not have the confidence to win at all. Fen Tian would definitely not fight at a time like that. He was slightly shocked but his shock returned to normal when he saw Zhou Weiqing’s odd battle strategy.
Whether it was Fen Tian or the rest of those who were present, most of them had the same thought – the Peerless Sect lacked support. It seemed like the Peerless Sect had an advantage during the beginning of the tournament as they had the best score. However, Long Shiya and Wu Yunyue did not actually defeat that many opponents. Likewise, Long Shiya, who was at the Heavenly God Tier, only fought Shen Mo before ending the battle. He did not manage to show much of his abilities. Meanwhile, there were no other powerhouses amongst the ranks of the Peerless Sect. Zhou Weiqing may have great abilities, but was it possible that he was more powerful than his mentor? Moreover, him fighting so early in the battle would give many opportunities for the other Saint Lands to test the water. Seeing as he was about to do battle in the fourth round on his own, how many rounds would he be able to last regardless of how powerful his ability was?
Tian Yu moved in a flash and appeared tens of meters above the sky. A dark glow shot out from his back as two gigantic, black Destruction Energy Wings opened in the air. The black wings were so clear that those present could even see each individual feather. However, the feathers were consolidated with the dense Destructive Energy. He flapped his wings hard and they supported his body all the way. Almost instantly, he was thousands of meters above the ground.
Zhou Weiqing’s movement was obviously much slower than Tian Yu’s. However, he immediately disappeared from where he was the moment he took a step. What he just did made everyone’s pupils shrink a little. Although it was not Zhou Weiqing’s first time using Blink after mastering the Spatial Laws, it was still impressive to many.
Tian Yu had been locking his thoughts on Zhou Weiqing and he reacted quickly. As soon as Zhou Weiqing disappeared, the wings on his back wrapped around each other and rotated his body in mid-air. With the gigantic, black wings made of energy protecting his body, Destructive Energy exploded in the air and swept through at least a hundred square meters of space. Although the area of effect was limited, the area was filled with a powerful Destructive Storm. Tian Yu thought to himself, ‘Even if Zhou Weiqing was even more powerful than he was, he would still not dare to appear within his Destructive Storm. Otherwise, he would certainly have the confidence to kill Zhou Weiqing.’ Therefore, he put on his legendary set as soon as he released the Destructive Storm.
However, many things would not change following what a person wanted. Often, the impact was the greatest if something that was clearly impossible, became possible. Zhou Weiqing appeared at the next second when the Destructive Storm was formed. To top it off, he appeared right in the midst of the Destructive Storm and stood before Tian Yu, which was the area where the Destructive Storm was the most powerful and concentrated.
The moment when Zhou Weiqing appeared, there was a layer of golden starlight, shining all over his body. An explosive crash happened when the golden starlight appeared within the Destructive Storm. However, it did not affect Zhou Weiqing’s movement at all. A simple punch was pummelled right onto Tian Yu’s chest; it was an extremely simple one.
Going by Tian Yu’s initial speculation, Zhou Weiqing might have mastered Spatial Law but he would have to appear outside the Destructive Storm so that Tian Yu could come up with a way to fight him. It might not work, but it was worth a try. However, Zhou Weiqing’s appearance was just too odd. He appeared right before Tian Yu while the Destructive Storm that he was proud of did nothing to affect Zhou Weiqing’s movement at all. That was the scariest part of all.
