Chapter 429 Against All Odds (1/2)

Yang Xuan’s body fell to the ground, the muffled thud upon contact echoing across the entire area, while countless gazes watched as if frozen in time...

In the distance, the mouths of Zuoqiu Qingyu, Bai Li, Qin Hai and the rest slowly fell open.

The Sacred Palace disciples seemed to have turned into statues.

The other onlookers were forcefully rubbing their eyes.

This atmosphere lasted for quite some time, before someone finally regained his senses. He immediately blurted out in a shocked voice.

“Yang Xuan… has lost?!”

*Uproar*

His trembling voice was akin to a spark that quickly set everyone on fire. In an instant, horrified voice after voice exploded.

“How can this be?! How could Yang Xuan have lost after reaching the eighth layer?!”

“Exactly, he had absolute upper hand just a while ago!”

“What the hell did Zhou Yuan do at that final moment?!”

“……”

Everyone’s faces were filled with confusion. When Yang Xuan’s bone armor turned red earlier, even Zhou Yuan’s tyrannical azure flames had been incapable of stopping the former. Who could have known that Zhou Yuan’s final strike of desperation would lead to such an outcome...

Moreover, anyone could see that Yang Xuan’s entire arm had been blown to bits, evidently due to some kind of terrifying force, but what kind of force could have possibly done that to Yang Xuan in his eighth layer red bone armor state?!

Uncertain gaze after gaze turned towards Zhou Yuan, tinged with a sliver of fear.

In the sky far away, Li Qingchan, Zhao Zhu, Wang Chi and Cao Jinzhu had just returned to their senses from the astonishing scene, their faces still a little dazed from the shock.

Wang Chi and Cao Jinzhu looked to each other, seeing the disbelief and confusion in the other party’s eyes. The final result had clearly surpassed their expectations.

They expressions slowly turned ugly. Since Yang Xuan had lost to Zhou Yuan, wouldn’t it mean that the situation had now completely spiralled out of control?!

Iciness flickered in the duo’s eyes as they looked towards Zhou Yuan’s figure.

“What a vicious kid, I can’t let you off!” Wang Chi’s chilling voice sounded. In the next instant, his figure abruptly shot forth, vigorous Genesis Qi erupting along with an alarming pressure.

Since Yang Xuan had already been defeated, the only way to save the situation was to finish off Zhou Yuan.

Swish!

However, a beautiful figure appeared in front of him the moment he shot forward. A hand thrust towards him, accompanied by churning Genesis Qi and cold Qi that froze even the air itself.

Yang Xuan did not dare to be careless in the face of such a deadly attack. His figure hurriedly came to a stop as he responded with his full power.

Boom!

Genesis Qi swept outwards as Wang Chi’s figureh hastily retreated a dozen steps. He lifted his head and saw Li Qingchan’s beautiful yet frosty face. She stood in front of him, blocking his path.

“Oh? Didn’t you say earlier that Chosens should only fight against other Chosens?” There a cold smile on Li Qingchan’s lips.

Wang Chi’s face turned an angry green as he icily growled, “Scram!”

“That’ll depend on whether you have the ability.” Ice-cold Genesis Qi slowly rose from Li Qingchan’s body, her eyes tinged with ridicule as she stared at Wang Chi.

Even someone like Li Qingchan could not help but feel good inside at the sight of Wang Chi’s angry face. This just so happened to be the perfect opportunity for them to return all of the frustration from being held up by the latter earlier.

Li Qingchan lightly touched her ear as her voice was transmitted into the communication jade, “Pretty well done, Zhou Yuan. Are you alright?”

Her voice had become unprecedentedly gentle.

Due to Yaoyao, she had staunchly stood her ground against the majority to bring Zhou Yuan along. As a result, she had faced a huge amount of pressure ever since the mission began, especially from elder Wu. Although he did not rebuke her due to her status as a Chosen, he had ultimately dispatched Zhou Yuan to the outer region for the sake of the big picture.

This was already a form of disapproval towards her.

Li Qingchan could not say anything in the face of all this opposition, and had no choice but to silently endure them. This naturally led to some frustration in her heart, causing her to be a little meaner and colder than usual with regards to Zhou Yuan, though he probably felt she treated him exactly the same as she had before.

All of these pent up feelings had vanished like smoke the moment Yang Xuan fell to the ground.

She never imagined that when all hope seemed lost, the one who had been abandoned at the beginning, Zhou Yuan, would be the one to step up, and against all odds defeat Yang Xuan.
