Chapter 83 Contes (2/2)

Qi Hao could not help but curse out loud. He had originally believed that the giant battle puppet python would be enough for him to control the situation, making sure that Zhou Yuan and his group would never leave this place. Who could have expected that Zhou Yuan would also have something similar up his sleeves.

Qi Hao said in a low voice, “This cannot be allowed to continue, we have to seize the Fire Spirit Grain!”

Now that the situation had spun out of his control, he had to quickly take the Fire Spirit Grain. It would be their victory once they obtained it.

“Go!”

Qi Hao delayed no further and led the charge into the valley. A large group closely followed, protecting him at the center.

“Qi Hao has made his move, we’ll move out too!” Zhou Yuan had his eyes fixed on Qi Hao since the start. Hence, the former immediately detected the latter’s movement.

Su Youwei, Wei Qingqing, Lu Tieshan and the rest nodded in acknowledgement.

Both sides had shown all their cards. All that was left was a head-on clash.

Zhou Yuan looked towards Yaoyao and said, “Big sis Yaoyao, keep an eye on the outside of the valley and don’t let anyone take advantage.”

Quite a number of factions had already gathered outside the valley, but none dared to make any moves due to the intense battle between Wei Canglan and the Black Venom King in the sky and the two giant creatures on one the side of the valley. However, they were clearly waiting for a chance, and there was no choice but to guard against them.

Yaoyao gave a slight nod.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Yuan led the group forward with a wave of his hand.

Somewhere deeper into the valley, Qi Hao and his group had raised their speeds to the limit. With a sideway glance, he saw the closely following Zhou Yuan’s group, causing the former’s eyes to grow increasingly dark.

“Stop them!”

Several Heaven Gate experts led by Qi Ling immediately shot out.

“Captain Lu!” Zhou Yuan instantly responded.

“Understood your highness!” Lu Tieshan nodded and led several Heaven Gate experts to stop the them.

The two forces clashed, Genesis Qi devastating the surrounding area, turning the valley become even more chaotic.

Two parties swiftly advanced while trying to delay the other.

As the core member of their groups, Zhou Yuan and Qi Hao rushed towards the bottom of the valley without pause, while the number of guards around them continuously dropped as they were dispatched to slow the other group.

Soon after, only Su Youwei and Wei Qingqing were left at Zhou Yuan’s side, while Qi Hao had four Qi Nourishing stage guards.

Qi Hao darkly glanced at Zhou Yuan and gave a small nod.

The four Qi Nourishing stage experts immediately moved, creating an encirclement around Zhou Yuan’s three man group.

“Your highness, I will only be able to deal with two of them.” Genesis Qi began to surge out from Wei Qingqing’s body as her cold gaze locked onto two figures, an advance and initial Qi Nourishing stage expert.

“Your highness, go get the Fire Spirit Grain. I will stop the other two.” Su Youwei looked towards the remaining two. Both had the strength of the mid Qi Nourishing stage.

“Will you be okay?” Zhou Yuan hesitated for a moment. Su Youwei was only at the initial Qi Nourishing stage, while her opponents were mid Qi Nourishing stage experts.

Su Youwei merely smiled upon hearing this and did not reply. Flame-Thunder and Niflheim Qi slowly rose from her fair hands, the glows from the two different attribute Genesis Qi giving a certain charm to her pretty face.

Wei Qingqing spoke up at this moment, “Your highness, you only need to delay Qi Hao. We will come to your aid after dealing with our opponents.”

From what she could tell, Zhou Yuan was only at the initial Qi Nourishing stage, while Qi Hao was had already reached the advance Qi Nourishing stage. Their fighting strength was clearly not equal.

Zhou Yuan smiled, not say anything in response as he decisively shot forward.

Qi Hao and Zhou Yuan were now alone, one in front, the other behind, as they charged towards the bottom of the valley.

Atop the slopes of the valley, the various factions secretly shook their heads upon seeing this. Prince Zhou Yuan was really overestimating himself by chasing Qi Hao alone.

An abandoned herb cultivation area lay at the bottom of the valley, where the scarlet-red flame-like Fire Spirit Grain gently swayed as it gave off a sweet fragrance.

Qi Hao’s figure stopped some distance away from the Fire Spirit Grain and slowly turned around, his frosty gaze locking onto Zhou Yuan as a sinister smile emerged on his face.

“Pretty brave of you to follow me without anyone’s protection.”

“Looks like no one will be able to save you today.”
