Chapter 158 Cooperation (1/2)
A certain area in the Saint Remains Domain.
Wu Huang was seated on a mountain peak, his head raised to view the Saint Tablet in the sky. The expression on his face did not fluctuate much as he stared at the 8 words on the tablet. Moments later, he mumbled to himself, ”Zhou Xiaoyao…”
”Why have I not heard of this person before, and what relation does he have with Zhou Yuan?”
Wu Huang frowned slightly. It was just as described on the Saint Tablet, he had fought with Zhou Xiaoyao, and the outcome was him being in a disadvantageous position, leaving him no option but to withdraw.
The battle was extremely intense, pretty much the hardest battle Wu Huang had experienced in the past few years.
The opponent clearly had no Genesis Qi, but his Spirit was exceptionally strong. In addition, his mastery over Genesis Runes was nothing short of amazing, each Genesis Rune easily flowing from his hands like water, overwhelming and unfathomable.
Although Wu Huang knew the strategy to beat such a person was to close in, none of his numerous attempts had succeeded in breaching the distance of ten feet around Zhou Xiaoyao.
Even Wu Huang found the endless stream of Genesis Rune scrolls incomparably difficult to deal with.
Moreover, Wu Huang could faintly sense a dangerous sensation from Yaoyao. It was this very sensation that made him ultimately chose to retreat instead of battling to the death.
”His Spirit is extremely powerful and is likely also holding back something.” Wu Huang slowly muttered, his expression turning much graver for the first time. He had a feeling that Yaoyao would likely be his biggest obstacle this time.
”It will be a huge problem if I don't find a way to eliminate him…”
Mumbled Wu Huang to himself. His eyes suddenly narrowed slightly as he icily said, ”Since you're already here, show yourself. Sneaking around and hiding, what difference is there between you and a rat?”
The surroundings remained silent.
A cold light flashed in Wu Huang's eyes. His five fingers suddenly clenched into a fist as he fiercely punched in a certain direction.
Boom!
Scarlet-red Genesis Qi whizzed forth, melting even the ground below his feet.
The Genesis Qi shot towards a certain spot. However, just as it was about to hit, the space there suddenly rippled as a pale hand slowly reached out.
The hand gently twirled, stopping the domineering scarlet-red Genesis Qi when it was right in front of the palm.
Night black Genesis Qi gushed out from the pale hand, clashing against the scarlet-red Genesis Qi. In the end, the latter was completely corroded away with a final fizzle...
”Why the need to be so hostile against a guest from far away.” A raspy voice suddenly rang out. Space rippled again as a figure in black robes slowly appeared.
The young man in black had a set of pitch-black pupils that looked akin to vortexes, a sight that made one shiver.
”Who are you? I don't recall someone like you amongst those from the Cangmang Continent.” Wu Huang frowned as he stared at the black pupil youth. The aura from the latter's body made him feel the need to be a little wary. This youth was clearly no ordinary individual.
The youth in black robes seemed to grin. ”Dongxuan Continent, Ye clan, Ye Ming.”
Wu Huang's pupils shrank slightly as he said in a cold voice, ”Someone from the Dongxuan Continent? This Saint Remains Domain belongs to our Cangmang Continent, you people from the Dongxuan Continent dare to sneak in? Looks like you are up to nothing good, and probably intend to snatch away the greatest blessing.”
The youth in black robes shook his head. ”Blessings are granted by the will of the heavens, and is not exclusive in nature. Only the strong are worthy of it.”
“If I manage to take it, it would only mean that I am more qualified than the prided geniuses of the Cangmang Continent.”
Wu Huang faintly said, “Then let me test if you do have the qualifications.”
Scarlet-red Genesis Qi began to rise from his body, forming a great scarlet-red sun behind him as the rock below him began to melt.
