Chapter 149 The Fisherman Waits and Reaps (1/2)

Boom! Boom!

The sound of Genesis Qi blasting something continuously rang out in the remains of what was once a forest. Sharp earth spikes shot out of the ground one after another, gleaming with an icy sharpness.

Blood dripped from the Wind Thunder Beast’s enormous body as it struggled within the earth spike array. Its mutilated flesh a clear sign that it had been gravely injured.

However, the Saint Remains squad was not doing too well either. Although Xiao Tianxuan had used numerous trump cards to injure the Wind Thunder Beast, it was still a grade 4 Genesis Beast that was comparable to an Alpha-Origin expert.

Hence, its crazed counter attack had torn genius after genius to pieces.

The entire battlefield was an extremely wretched sight.

“Quick, it’s about to fall!” Howled Xiao Tianxuan. The confidence from before was no longer present as his red eyes locked onto the desperately struggling Wind Thunder Beast. He had used practically all of his trump cards in this hunt, a state akin to gambling till one was left in only underwear.

Upon hearing his howl, the Saint Remains squad members drummed up one final surge of energy, madly bombarding the nearly spent Wind Thunder Beast with the last ounce of Genesis Qi they could muster.

As he watched the situation gradually tip in their favor, Xiao Tianxuan finally breathed a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Ecstasy and excitement no longer concealable on his face.

Though the battle today had been a bitter one, he had finally emerged as the victor. It was easy to imagine how his name would soon spread, making his reputation no less than any of the super elite geniuses.

The Saint Remains squad would have also proven themselves, making it easier to recruit more members and grow their reputation, eventually allowing them to become a tyrant like existence in the Saint Remains Domain.

When that happened, Xiao Tianxuan would have the power to vie with the super elite geniuses.

As for that brat Zhou Yuan, he would be no problem at all.

While Xiao Tianxuan was fantasizing about the future, he did not notice that a figure had stealthily slipped into the chaotic battlefield.

The figure was naturally Zhou Yuan. No one had noticed him due to the chaos.

He watched the Wind Thunder Beast’s injuries grow worse and worse under the seemingly endless waves of attacks as his eyes flashed in thought. He could not allow Xiao Tianxuan and his squad to kill the beast.

Otherwise, how would he become the fisherman that reaps everything in the end?

Hence, his figure suddenly shot forward, making it seem as if he was aggressively charging at the Wind Thunder Beast.

Boom!

However, although the Wind Thunder Beast was heavily injured, it was still full of ferocity. A punch was sent flying towards him, blowing away Zhou Yuan. No one saw the tiny shadow that had flown out of his sleeves and landed on a certain spot on the Genesis Rune boundary.

Within the shadow was a scroll, a Genesis Rune scroll to be more precise.

A ray of light exploded from the Genesis Rune scroll at this moment. Although it was not large, it just so happened to cover a certain area at the center of the Genesis Rune boundary.

Crack!

A faint crack was suddenly heard. The seemingly infinite sharp stone spikes gradually came to a stop, while the suction force that had trapped the Wind Thunder Beast abruptly disappeared.

The disappearance of the suction force initially stunned the Wind Thunder Beast, but a creature as quick as it soon realised what had happened. It immediately released a roar as its battered body shot forth, shredding two individuals with a swipe of its claw.

“The Genesis Rune boundary has been broken!”

Someone finally discovered that something was wrong as a horrified piercing cry escaped.

The members of the Saint Remains squad that had originally been about to charge at the Wind Thunder Beast immediately did a 180, beating a hasty retreat and no longer daring to approach. Although the beast was gravely injured, it still had to power to easily kill any of them.
