Chapter 139 Attack (2/2)

“Grade 3 Genesis Rune, Mighty Tortoise Armor Rune!”

In the wake of the yell in Zhou Yuan’s heart, light began to weave together in front of him, forming a dim gray tortoise shell that was a few feet wide. The mottled shell gave off a feeling of sturdiness as if it was capable of withstanding a heavy blow that could shatter a mountain.

Boom!

The scarlet-red light fist smashed into the tortoise shell, scarlet-red light raging as cracks began to appear on the shell. In the end, the shell only managed to bitterly endure for several breaths before shattering with a boom.

The remains of the scarlet-red light fist slammed into Zhou Yuan’s arms.

Thump!

His body shot backwards, his legs smearing long scars on the ground as dust filled the air.

Countless gazes looked over as several people frowned. Wu Huang’s actions were really somewhat ugly. His strength was clearly far beyond Zhou Yuan’s, and yet the former still had to resort to such tactics.

“Zhou Yuan is probably dead, right?” Numerous voices rang out as they looked towards the dust cloud.

Somewhere else far away, Xiao Tianxuan, Gu Ling and the rest involuntarily burst out into laughter when they saw this scene. The sight of Zhou Yuan had finally become too irksome to Wu Huang.

Wu Huang’s expression remained indifferent, as if his previous action had merely been akin to swatting an annoying fly.

Everyone stared as the dust settled. Next, their expressions suddenly changed. They had discovered that a figure was still standing within the falling dust. The stone floor beneath his feet had fractured, and green scales could faintly be seen on his crossed arms. However, the scales were currently in bits and pieces.

Fresh blood flowed down along his arms, dripping onto the ground below.

Zhou Yuan’s expression was serene, but the killing intent that swelled within his eyes were practically akin to a bursting dam.

If not for his elementary mastery of a defensive grade 3 Genesis Rune and the defensive powers of the Magical Python Scales, Wu Huang’s punch would have killed him.

“Zhou Yuan, are you alright?!”

Yaoyao, Luluo and Zuoqiu Qingyu rushed to Zhou Yuan’s side.

Tuntun jumped out from Yaoyao’s arms and roared, its tiny body rapidly growing as it transformed into a mysterious giant beast. Black light pulsed from its enormous mouth as it glared at Wu Huang.

It was extremely intelligent, and although it normally treated Zhou Yuan with disdain and dislike, in Tuntun’s eyes, Zhou Yuan was the closest person to it besides Yaoyao. It was fine for it to bully him, but the fact that this person had suddenly attacked was truly unforgivable.

The surrounding prided geniuses hastily retreated when they felt Tuntun’s ferocity.

By the side, Yaoyao’s pretty face had turned inconceivably cold for the first time. Her hands were tightly clenched and her gaze eerily frosty as the rune between her brows began to ripple faintly

“Don’t be rash!”

Zhou Yuan reached out a bloody hand, grabbing Yaoyao’s tiny hand and gripped it tightly. He remembered master Cang Yuan had said never to allow the seal on Yaoyao’s head to loosen.

Yaoyao looked towards Zhou Yuan. Her normally clean freak self did not mind Zhou Yuan’s bloody hand this time. She blamed herself slightly; she had nearly allowed Wu Huang to kill Zhou Yuan in front of her.

“Stop!”

A booming shout descended from the sky at this moment. The Sacred Palace envoy had turned his gaze down, the pressure of a Divine Dwelling expert sweeping down, suppressing Tuntun such that it was unable to move.

The Sacred Palace envoy growled, “The Saint Remains Domain is about to open, don’t cause any trouble!”

Luluo angrily said, “Then why didn’t you stop Wu Huang earlier?!”

The corners of Zuoqiu Qingyu’s also curled downwards as she remarked, “This envoy doesn’t know the meaning of fair.”

How could they not understand by now that the Sacred Palace envoy had purposely suppressed them earlier, preventing them from aid Zhou Yuan.

It was obvious that the envoy of Sacred Palace was protecting Wu Huang.

The surrounding geniuses also broke out into whispers. The actions of the Sacred Palace envoy was indeed rather unfair.

In the sky above, the envoy’s expression turned somewhat ugly. He swept a cold glance at Zhou Yuan and the rest and declared, “Since you have complaints, don’t enter the Saint Remains Domain.”

Luluo’s and Zuoqiu Qingyu’s faces turned somewhat ugly. What a disgraceful envoy.

However, just as the Sacred Palace envoys’ words rang out, a figure within a similarly dazzling ball of light in the far off sky seemed to turn his gaze and looked in their direction as a mocking voice subsequently followed.

“Heh heh, Zhao Pan, you’re representing the Sacred Palace after all, so can you not look so ugly?”
