Chapter 244 Fast as Lightning (1/2)
Genesis Qi astral winds wreaked havoc on the lush, green mountain, like blades made from wind as they swept past, shredding even the air to pieces...
Under the countless watching gazes, Zhou Yuan and Zhu Feng stood at the foot of the mountain. The two looked at each other, iciness appearing in their eyes.
“Zhou Yuan, I admit that you have some talent. In a few more years, you will likely have a place in the Cangxuan Sect.” Zhu Yue’s eyes were ice-cold. Soon after, he let out an icy chuckle as he said, “However, your mistake was to hop out now.”
“The current you still does not have the qualifications!”
Zhou Yuan laughed and responded, “You can save these words for when you reach the peak before me.”
“Stubborn fool.”
Zhu Yue shook his head, mockery flashing in his eyes.
Rumble!
A split second later, robust Genesis Qi simultaneously erupted from Zhou Yuan and Zhu Yue’s bodies. The two transformed into flashes of light as they charged into the green mountain enveloped by berserk Genesis Qi.
The instant they entered, Zhou Yuan and Zhu Yue’s figures paused slightly.
It was due to the suppression from elder Zong Ming’s Genesis Qi, making the air akin to a quagmire. The movements ordinary individuals who entered would be greatly restricted, making it difficult for them to advance.
“Ethereal Form!”
Shouted Zhou Yuan and Zhu Yue.
Nearly half of their figures began to gradually etherealize under the crowd’s watching gazes as their speed rapidly rose.
Fast as lightning.
A series of gasps rang out in the vicinity of the green mountain, clearly shocked by the speed Zhou Yuan and Zhu Yue had displayed.
“Although the Ethereal Form technique is only at the mid grade little Heaven tier, it does have its merits.” Yang Xiu’s eyes narrowed, smiling as he observed the rapidly moving figures on the mountain.
Lu Feng’s expression remained indifferent. “No matter how fast they run, they will only be rabbits, still merely prey in the eyes of a real predator.”
“Who do you think will win?” Asked Yang Xiu.
Lu Feng uncaringly replied, “It will depend on how much Zhu Yue has concealed his abilities.”
While the two were conversing, the two figures on the mountain seemed to leave behind a trail of mist as they advanced. It was at this moment that the Genesis Qi that enveloped the mountain began to rear its fangs. Genesis Qi darted forth transforming into countless glowing Genesis Qi knives.
These knives seemed to cover the sky and land as they swiftly descended upon the two figures.
Ch ch!
Zhou Yuan and Zhu Feng were unable to dodge, having no choice but to receive the attacks with their bodies.
Therefore, in a short span of a dozen breaths, fresh blood began to appear on their bodies, cut after cut appearing one after another.
Even so, anyone could see that Zhou Yuan and Zhu Feng had used the etherealized parts of their bodies to receive the attacks. Although their bloody appearances looked extremely miserable, the majority of the force had been neutralized by the Ethereal Form technique.
From start to end, their figures were neck to neck.
In the short span of a few minutes, the duo had already reached the halfway point.
Even till now, however, both parties were still equal.
Zhu Yue's gaze swept across Zhou Yuan from the corner of his eyes. Soon after, iciness flashes in his eyes as the corners of his lips lifted slightly.
”It's time to show you the difference between us!”
Rumble!
With a thought, the apertures in his body instantly lit up. In a short few breaths, the number of apertures in his body rose from 30 plus to 45.
He had clearly began to reveal his hidden strength.
As more and more apertures were opened, everyone saw Zhu Yue's body grow more and more ethereal as faint mists began to spread around it.
Swish!
His speed soared, over taking Zhou Yuan in a single breath. His body met the innumerable Genesis Qi knives head-on as he rocketed towards the peak.
Zhu Yue's sudden explosion of speed instant drew numerous gasps from the surroundings of the mountain.
”As expected, he has concealed his strength!” Numerous disciples sighed in amazement. They could naturally sense that Zhu Yue's Ethereal Form had grown even more formidable.
Gu Hongyi's hands began to clench tightly, her teeth biting into her red lips as she stared at the figure that had fallen behind.
Han Qiushui could not help but remark from the side, ”It's over for him Hongyi. Zhu Yue's mastery of the Ethereal Form is much greater than Zhou Yuan's.”
From the looks of it, Zhou Yuan’s first level mastery was practically unable to compare to Zhu Yue.
Gu Hongyi did not speak, merely continuing to stare. She believed that Zhou Yuan would not lose so easily.
Somewhere else, Shen Wanjin, Qiao Xiu, Xiao Tianxuan and the rest anxiously watched the widening gap between the two individuals of the mountain, their eyes filled with worry.
“Go little Yuan bro!”
But there was nothing they could do besides sending out prayer after prayer in their hearts.
“You were so arrogant previously, but you shall now have a taste of what it feels like to eat a rotten fruit.” There was a look of ecstasy mixed with excitement in Zhu Feng's eyes when he saw this. Soon after, he began to laugh.
