Chapter 451 The Uncompromising Zhou Yuan (1/2)

Deep rends had been torn open on the cultivation platform, making it an exceptionally wretched sight. At the end of these rends, a cliff continued to crumble, as boulders tumbled down.

The entire place was completely silent.

Every gaze stared at the tumbling boulders in a dazed manner.

Lu Hong’s disciples had been laughing just moments ago, thus their smiles were still currently frozen on their faces, creating an extremely comical scene.

The faces of Shen Taiyuan’s disciples had been filled with panic at the sight of Zhou Yuan attempting to grab at Wu Hai’s lightning sword with his bare hand, only to find Wu Hai being sent flying a split second later...

The disciples around Lu Yan had likewise fallen silent, even Lu Yan herself dazedly staring at the young figure who was still in his punching posture.

Everyone had not expected Zhou Yuan’s counter attack to be so ferocious.

“How can this be?” Mumbled Lu Yan.

Her eyes were filled with bewilderment. From what she could sense, Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi undulations had barely grown any stronger than before. So why? Why had such a terrifying power exploded from his earlier punch?

Although Wu Hai had admittedly been somewhat caught off-guard by Zhou Yuan’s sudden explosion of power at the final moment, the layers of Genesis Qi defenses created by the former should still have been capable of easily defending against any attacks below the eighth layer.

And yet, all of these defensive layers had appeared as frail as paper in the face of Zhou Yuan’s punch.

Moreover, Zhou Yuan had not even used his Heaven Genesis Weapon. That black brush of his was still embedded in the cliff wall.

From the information released by the Mission Hall about the Black Flame Province mission, Zhou Yuan had only been able to contend against the Sacred Palace’s Yang Xuan due to his Heaven Genesis Weapon. Without it, the former could not possibly have been a match for the half step into eighth layer Yang Xuan.

But… Zhou Yuan had not used his Heaven Genesis Weapon in this fight!

Lu Yan’s gaze was tightly glued to Zhou Yuan. She could faintly sense that though the latter’s Genesis Qi undulations were the same as before, there was something different about him.

Under the numerous stunned gazes, Zhou Yuan slowly withdrew his fist as his glowing skin gradually returned to normal.

A look of amazement flitted across his eyes as he lowered his head to look at his fist. The little Mythic Saint Body was tyrannical indeed. Though he had just achieved the jade skin level, the amplified power it gave had already reached very alarming levels.

The jade skin combined with his Genesis Qi gave him the power to directly face initial eighth layer opponents.

As for Wu Hai, he had likely just barely reached the initial eighth layer stage.

Due to his carelessness, he had allowed Zhou Yuan to close in and deliver a punch that contained all of the power of his body and Genesis Qi. To be honest, Wu Hai deserved to be blasted away by the punch.

Most practitioners would make sure to keep their distance against an external cultivator with Genesis Qi attacks, because these external cultivators would only be able to bring out the superiority of their strong physical bodies at close range.

Zhou Yuan raised his head and looked towards the crumbling cliff, before his figure moved and appeared amidst the rubble. With a wave of his sleeve, Genesis Qi swept forth to blow the shattered rock away.

As the rock was blown away, the buried figure underneath was revealed.

Wu Hai was drenched in blood, making him an extremely pitiful sight. However, his eyes were still open as he glared at Zhou Yuan. Unfortunately, the former was unable to circulate any Genesis Qi due to Zhou Yuan’s ferocious punch from earlier.

There was only indifference in Zhou Yuan’s gaze as he looked down from above and said, “You’re the one who hit Shen Wanjin’s face earlier?”

Wu Hai icily retorted, “Don’t be too happy Zhou Yuan! I was merely caught off-guard earlier!”

However, Zhou Yuan ignored him, merely extending his hand and swinging it.

*Slap*!

Genesis Qi whizzed forth, transforming into a palm that viciously slapped Wu Hai’s face, causing a sharp and clear slap to echo.

A fresh, glaring red palm print appeared on Wu Hai’s face.

Wu Hai seemed to have been knocked silly by Zhou Yuan’s slap, but quickly returned to his senses a split second later. A hideous look immediately arose on his face as he roared, “You dare to slap me?!”

He was normally such an untouchable and high up existence in Lu Hong’s faction that enjoyed flattery from everyone. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that Zhou Yuan would actually dare to slap him in public!

*Slap*!

However, the only response he received was another slap.

“Zhou Yuan, I’m going to kill you!”

*Slap*!

“Bastard, you’re dead!”

*Slap*!

*Slap*!

Before Wu Hai could make any noise, Zhou Yuan sent yet another slap at the former, the loud and clear sound continuously echoing without being broken.

Around the cultivation platform, the disciples from the three factions were dumbstruck as they watched.

As the saying went, when beating someone, one should not hit the face. Zhou Yuan was obviously not planning on leaving Wu Hai even the slightest shred of dignity.

When some of the onlookers saw the icy light in Zhou Yuan’s eyes, they understood that the way Wu Hai and gang had humiliated Shen Wanjin earlier had indeed angered the former.

The faces of Lu Hong’s disciples were a mix of white fear and green anger. They wanted to shout out for Zhou Yuan to stop, but the sight of his chilling eyes made them subconsciously shrink back, leaving them no other option but to hurriedly say, “Quick, go call for reinforcements!”

Back on Zhou Yuan’s side, after a few dozen slaps, Wu Hai’s face had swollen to look like a pig. The Genesis Qi that attempted to gather in his body was dispersed by Zhou Yuan, making it impossible for him to put up any resistance.

“Stop! Stop!” The intense burning pain pulsed from Wu Hai’s face paired with the giddiness from being rapidly knocked left and right finally broke him, causing even his voice to change. “I’m no longer saying anything!”

Zhou Yuan’s hand paused as he indifferently said, “Sorry, I didn’t hear that.”

His hand continued to raise again.
