Chapter 368 Hunted (1/2)
The atmosphere was flooded with excitement outside the misty mountain range, numerous disciples staring excitedly at the sky, where intense battles were being projected by every mirror.
The ones who had the qualifications to participate in the purple sash selection test were basically the elite gold sash disciples in the Cangxuan Sect, who possessed fairly high status. Therefore, when all of these individuals were gathered together for a competition, the fights between them were so exciting that most disciples were unable to turn away.
Splash! Splash!
Disciples were continuously swept up by beams of light, and tossed into the winding river around the mountain range. Those were the disciples that have been eliminated.
“Wow! Senior sister Su Wan from Cangxuan Peak is truly incredible. She had already gotten five seals.”
“Senior brother Mu Chunlei from Snow Lotus Peak has obtained five seals as well.”
“There’s also senior brother Le Tian from Sword Cometh Peak and little senior sister Xia Yu from Spirit Rune Peak… Tsk, tsk, it’s no wonder they are the top gold sash disciple of amongst the various factions of their respective peaks. Their battle achievements are truly astonishing.”
“They are very powerful indeed. The rest of the disciples are still somewhat lacking compared to them.”
“……”
Many disciples spiritedly discussed amongst themselves as they watched the Genesis Qi mirrors.
There were also disciples who had their attention on Zhou Yuan. When they looked towards his Genesis Qi mirror, cries of surprise suddenly rang out, “Is that senior brother Luo Dao from Sword Cometh Peak? I can’t believe he bumped into Zhou Yuan so early!”
Their words instantly drew the attention of numerous individuals.
The numerous disciples broke out into whispers when they saw the two individuals facing each other in the Genesis Qi mirror.
“To think that he would run into senior brother Luo Dao. Zhou Yuan is really unlucky.”
“Yeah. Even amongst the many Sword Cometh Peak gold sash disciples, senior brother Luo Dao can be ranked amongst the top three, and is definitely an extraordinary fellow.”
“Agreed. I was watching senior brother Luo Dao’s battles since earlier, and he has already defeated three disciples.”
“Heh heh, didn’t Zhou Yuan defeat four opponents earlier? However, it seems that he has finally ran into a tough opponent.”
“……”
The duel between Zhou Yuan and Luo Dao was obviously going to be an interesting one, and it immediately drew the attention of more and more disciples as news of their clash quickly spread.
Gu Hongyi was also alerted, causing her to frown a little. She had naturally heard of Luo Dao, and was well-aware that he was quite the formidable individual. She never expected that he would be the first Sword Cometh Peak disciple Zhou Yuan encountered.
“It seems like junior brother Zhou Yuan’s luck is not very good.” Beside Gu Hongyi, the senior brother named Qin Lan narrowed his eyes slightly, and remarked with a sarcastic smile.
“More importantly, Le Tian, Lu Xuanyin and the other Sword Cometh Peak disciples are all heading towards him. If Zhou Yuan allows himself to be tied down by Luo Dao, it will only be a matter of time before he’ll be trapped.”
Gu Hongyi coldly glared at him. Though she didn’t retort, her hands could not help but clenched tightly. Zhou Yuan was indeed in a tough spot.
Zhou Yuan, please stay safe!
“Oh, are they about to start?” Qin Lan suddenly chuckled while fixed on the Genesis Qi mirror.
Derision appeared on Qin Lan’s lips as he said, “Haha, what a brave fellow. He actually dares to use his bare fist to meet Luo Dao’s sword? Doesn’t he know that the Genesis Qi of the Sword Cometh Peak disciples are the sharpest in our Cangxuan Sect?”
He had just seen Zhou Yuan extend his arm and grab at the sword.
Gasps immediately erupted from the numerous surrounding disciples. Some of the female disciples even shutting their eyes as if anticipating that Zhou Yuan’s palm would be sliced apart.
Gu Hongyi’s face also turned a little pale.
The mocking smile on Qin Lan’s lips grew. He stared intently at the Genesis Qi mirror, eagerly waiting to see Zhou Yuan’s miserable fate.
Under his intense stare, all of the disciples watched Zhou Yuan’s palm turn golden in a flash, before grabbing the sword. His hand slid down the sword, causing sparks to fly.
Not even a single drop of blood could be seen.
Next, Zhou Yuan instantly closed the distance between him and Luo Dao, and quickly delivered a punch packed with power into the latter’s gut.
The fight came to an abrupt end.
The expression of numerous disciples immediately froze at this moment, staring in disbelief as Luo Dao slowly crumpled to the ground...
It was only a single punch.
Luo Dao, the third most powerful gold sash disciple from Sword Cometh Peak, was defeated just like that?
Loud gulping sounds were heard one after another.
It was completely different from the outcome they had imagined!
The derisive smile on Qin Lan’s face froze little by little. Soon after, the corners of his lips twitched as he exclaimed, “How is this possible?! How could he have received Luo Dao’s sword with his bare hands?”
