Chapter 298 Sumptuous Feas (2/2)
Boom!
A shockwave of berserk Genesis Qi unfurled, destabilizing numerous disciples nearby. Shen Taiyuan waved his sleeve, completely quelling the shockwaves that had left that confines of the stone stage.
Only then did the numerous disciples hastily look towards the stage.
A crack had appeared at the center of the giant stone stage, as if splitting it into two. On both sides of the crack, Zhou Yuan and Cao Shi’s figures were being flung backwards.
The Heavenly Yuan Brush’s tip left a trail of sparks on the ground, before Zhou Yuan stabilized his figure with a stomp, his expression indifferent as he looked to his front where Cao Shi was staring back with a somewhat stormy face.
The counter attack Zhou Yuan had suddenly unleashed earlier had been surprisingly ferocious, managing to block what Cao Shi had thought to be a sure-kill blow.
“No wonder you’re so confident. You do have some ability.” Cao Shi sneered.
Zhou Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, merely staring at Cao Shi as he slowly said, “The limits of your strength doesn’t seem to go too deep either.”
Cao Shi’s eyes hardened as a smile of contempt rose from the corners of his mouth. “You seem to be saying that you were probing me earlier?”
These words immediately caused strange looks to rise on the face of the numerous disciples around the stone stage. They merely took it as Zhou Yuan being reluctant to admit the truth, because Cao Shi had clearly taken the advantage in their previous clash.
However, Zhou Yuan paid no attention to these gazes. He slowly released his grip on the Heavenly Yuan Brush, an uncaring expression on his face as he said, “Since this is all you amount to, it will be enough.”
Cao Shi disdainfully said, “Stop acting. If you still have any rationality, you should admit defeat as soon as possible. I cannot guarantee your safety if we continue.”
His words did not draw any answer from Zhou Yuan. The latter was currently slowly placing his hands together as violent undulations suddenly pulsed from the Genesis Qi in his body.
Rumble!
Vigorous Genesis Qi dashed into the sky from the top of his head, the roars of beasts echoing as a faint aura of savagery and violence filled the area.
Four Genesis Qi pillars revolved above Zhou Yuan’s head, each one roughly a hundred feet tall. The silhouettes of beasts took shape within them, giving off an aura of wildness and ferocity.
“The Nine Dragons Canon?”
A sneer rose from the corners of Cao Shi’s mouth when he saw this. He had already investigated Zhou Yuan’s techniques, and naturally knew that this was the technique he had used to defeat Lu Feng.
“Do you think that I’m Lu Feng? You plan on beating me with your four dragon level Nine Dragons Canon?” Cao Shi let out an icy laugh.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly, before he suddenly took in a deep breath as a ruthless look flitted across his eyes.
The flickering Genesis Qi stars in his Qi Dwelling suddenly began to tremble violently as all the Genesis Qi stored within them was being fully squeezed out by Zhou Yuan at this moment.
Rumble!
Boundless Genesis Qi flowed through the channels inside Zhou Yuan’s body like a flood.
It was at this instant that another giant Genesis Qi pillar rose into the sky from the top of Zhou Yuan’s head, quickly splitting into four as an sky-shaking roar thundered.
“Nine Dragons Canon… eight dragons!”
Roar!
Four even larger Genesis Qi pillars spun as they roared. A savage aura saturated the area, causing the sky to take on a dim red hue.
The expressions of the numerous disciples in the vicinity of the stone stage abruptly changed at this moment.
Shock filled their eyes as they gazed at the right beast shaped Genesis Qi hovering above Zhou Yuan. Alarm flashed across their faces, clearly having sensed the power of these eight Genesis Qi pillars.
The mocking smile on Cao Shi’s face slowly turned rigid, disbelief surging out in his eyes as he said in a shrill voice, “Eight dragons?! Your Nine Dragons Canon has reached the eight dragons level?!”
He was pretty much overwhelmed by astonishment. One must know that Zhou Yuan’s Nine Dragons Canon had only just reached the four dragons level in his battle against Lu Feng half a month ago. How had it suddenly shot to eight?!
Eight dragons was already considered the advanced stage, wielding power that went far beyond the four dragons level!
One must know that even amongst the inner mountain disciples, only a rare handful had managed to reach the eight dragons level!
What Cao Shi did not know was that Zhou Yuan had originally planned on preparing nine dragons for the former. However, the latter had failed after reaching eight dragons, because the Genesis Qi in his body was unable to sustain the ninth Genesis Qi beast figure.
Zhou Yuan could not be bothered with any useless exchange of words, and had no intention of dragging the battle any longer after getting a grasp of Cao Shi’s strength. Zhou Yuan had after all used his secluded cultivation session to specially prepared this trump card for Cao Shi.
Hence, Zhou Yuan merely stared coldly at Cao Shi.
Roar!
Eight Genesis Qi beast figures roared at the heavens as an explosion of savageness swept outwards. A split second later, all of them abruptly shot forth, their giant shadows enveloping Cao Shi as his expression changed drastically.
“Have a taste of the sumptuous feast I’ve prepared for you.”
