Chapter 110 End of the War (1/2)

Outside the main city gate, Zhou Qing stood in the air, flames burning and lightning cackling on the Nine Flames Spear in his hand. The powerful pressure that flooded out from his body was akin to a storm as it engulfed the land.

As countless people gazed upon this figure, they seemed to once again see the dignified king of the Great Zhou Empire at its peak.

“King Zhou Qing!”

“King Zhou Qing!”

Innumerable cheers filled with reverence exploded from the city walls, almost bursting one’s eardrums.

Joy flooded Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he gazed at Zhou Qing’s mountain-like back. Overcoming the shadow in his heart meant that his strength would gradually recover, something that made Zhou Yuan sincerely happy.

“Father, you did not lose to king Wu. The baby you gave everything to protect has now began to grow up.”

“Retreat!”

“Quickly!”

While Great Zhou’s morale had skyrocketed, Great Qi’s had completely crumbled. Even Qi Yuan had a frightened look on his face as he yelled for them to withdraw.

A split second after giving the signal, he was the first to shoot away, hoping to escape.

The Zhao Tianlun trio also beat a frightened retreat. Zhou Qing’s strength had reached the five layer level, making none of them his match.

“Stop them. Since you’ve decided to come, don’t even think of leaving.” Zhou Yuan’s eyes flashed coldly when he saw them flee.

Wei Canglan and the Black Venom King nodded in acknowledgement before immediately giving chase.

In the air, Zhou Qing coldly looked over, his gaze locking onto Qi Yuan as his grip around the spear slowly tightened.

He indifferently said, “I allowed you do as you place in the Great Zhou Empire for the past few years. Allow me to personally correct all of these mistakes today.”

Vigorous scarlet-red Genesis Qi surged around him as the faint sound of rumbling thunder echoed, giving off an imposing pressure.

Swoosh!

Zhou Qing took a step forward, his figure transforming into a streak of scarlet that headed straight for Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan’s expression immediately turned to terror when he sensed this. Without the slightest hesitation, he pushed his Genesis Qi to the limit and frantically fled.

However, the current Zhou Qing was much stronger than before, far surpassing a three layer Alpha-Origin like Qi Yuan. Thus, it only took several breaths for Zhou Qing’s figure to appear right behind the latter.

Zhou Qing was expressionless, the long spear in his hand akin to a dragon of fire and lightning, rippling the surrounding space as it dove towards Qi Yuan.

The ferocity of the attack caused Qi Yuan to be filled with horror. Metallic runes of light exploded from the sword in his hand as he frantically poured Genesis Qi into it.

Swish!

Qi Yuan thrust his sword. All of his Genesis Qi had been poured into this very strike and it could be said to be deadly without equal.

Clang!

However, it was as if lightning exploded the moment the spear tip touched the sword as a surge of astonishing power cackled.

Bang!

Space violently warped and rippled. Qi Yuan let out a miserable cry as the Black tier Genesis sword in his hand disintegrated.

Terrified, he hastily shouted, “I surrender your majesty, I surrender!”

Unfortunately, the only response was a decisive fatal thrust from Zhou Qing’s spear. With a squwelch, it pierced Qi Yuan’s heart. Violent blazing Flame-Thunder Qi crazily poured into Qi Yuan’s body, scorching away everything inside in a short few breaths.

The terror on Qi Yuan’s face turned rigid at this moment. He grasped the spear that had penetrated his chest, his eyes staring at Zhou Qing as he mumbled, “Zhou Qing… king Wu will not let you off!”

Zhou Qing was expressionless. With a jerk of the spear, Qi Yuan’s body fell from the sky, his life fully extinguished.
