Chapter 452 Yuan Hong’s Strength (2/2)

Cah cah!

With Zhang Yan inserting himself in, the three Genesis Qi attacks clashed in the air. In the end, all three attacks simultaneously destroyed each other with a boom, causing a shockwave to sweep outwards.

Yuan Hong waved his sleeve, scattering the shockwave as he frostily stared at Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan with a mocking smile, “Are the two of you planning to join forces?”

“Haha, fine then, show me how capable both of you are!”

He laughed as he took a step forward in an imposing and eager manner, not the slightest bit afraid of Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan.

In the face of the overbearing Hong Yuan, Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan’s expressions turned grave as vigorous Genesis Qi spiralled around their bodies.

The numerous disciples watched this scene in shock and awe. Were the top disciples from these two factions really going to go at it even before the start of the chief disciple selection?

Three figures stood facing each other, as the surging Genesis Qi around them grew stronger and stronger.

“Hey, the law enforcement group is coming, are you guys still going to continue fighting?” While the trio bristled with hostility, a clear voice sounded. It was the nearby Lu Yan who had spoken.

The trio’s Genesis Qi paused as they lifted their heads to peer into the distance. Sure enough, they saw several glowing figures flying towards them.

Yuan Hong frowned as the Genesis Qi around him receded.

Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan breathed a small sigh of relief when they saw this as the Genesis Qi around them shrank back into their bodies.

“The two of you are quite lucky. I originally planned on crippling you guys here so your faction will no longer need to participate in the chief disciple selection next month.” Siad Yuan Hong with an expressionless face.

Zhang Yan laughed loudly in anger, “What big words!”

Zhou Tai followed up, “We will naturally seek you out in the chief disciple selection to have a taste of your skills.”

Yuan Hao merely chuckled. His fierce tiger-like gaze turned towards Zhou Yuan behind as he extended a finger and waved it in the air.

“Zhou Yuan if you have even a shred of rationality left, voluntarily seal your Genesis Qi and jump off the cliff. Once that is done, I shall consider today’s matter settled.”

“Or else… even if you managed to escape this time, you won’t be so lucky next time.”

“If we meet in the chief disciple selection… it will be far too late for regrets.”

His tone was calm, without even the slightest hint of anger, as if he was talking about an insignificant manner. It was obvious that he had never viewed Zhou Yuan as a threat since the very beginning.

Countless gazes were cast towards Zhou Yuan. Given Yuan Hong’s status and strength, anyone would be tremendously pressured by such words.

Zhou Yuan could not help but laugh when he heard this, before he slowly said with a small pause between each word, “Senior brother Yuan Hong, we’ll see each other in the chief disciple selection.”

Yuan Hong’s sharp gaze stared at Zhou Yuan. Moments later, he smiled, but it was a smile devoid of all warmth, making anyone who saw it feel chills ripple in their bodies.

“Zhou Tai, Zhang Yan. It seems that a tough one has emerged from your faction…”

“I only hope that he will still be as tough when we meet in the chief disciple selection…”

He indifferently withdrew his gaze, not giving a single glance more to Zhou Yuan as he waved his hand.

“Let’s go.”

His figure rose into the air as the other Lu Hong disciples quickly followed.

As Lu Hong’s faction left, the tense atmosphere on the cultivation platform slowly faded away.

Zhou Tai and Zhang Yan watched Lu Hong leave, before they looked to each other, finding the same sliver of graveness in the other’s eyes. Although the earlier exchange had been brief, they had clearly felt the tremendous pressure brought by Yuan Hong.

It seemed that a bitter fight was unavoidable in the upcoming chief disciple selection.

Zhou Tai turned his head towards Zhou Yuan and asked, “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, are you alright?”

Zhou Yuan responded with a smile and a shake of his head.

Zhang Yan let out a cold snort. “You’re not very capable and yet you have quite a temper. Do you think the likes of you can afford to offend Yuan Hong?”

He left these words behind as he turned around to leave. There was after all not much friendship between them, and he had only interceded earlier because Yuan Hong was looking down on their faction.

Zhou Yuan could only chuckle upon seeing this. There was no point bickering about this matter.

Zhou Tai patted Zhou Yuan’s shoulder in consolation, before he too bid his goodbyes. However, Zhou Yuan could see the sliver of worry in the former’s eyes, a sign that he was feeling the pressure even more after today’s brief exchange with Yuan Hong.

Zhou Yuan looked towards the direction Yuan Hong had left in, as his eyes narrowed slightly for a moment.

Yuan Hong was indeed a very formidable foe.

Zhou Yuan’s fingers clenched tightly as he lowered his head to look at his glowing skin.

It seems that he needed to redouble his training for this final stretch.
