Chapter 459 Start of the Chief Disciple Selection (2/2)

Yuan Hong naturally noticed the berserk Genesis Qi rushing towards him from behind. However, there was no panic as a giant thousand feet long torrent of Genesis Qi whizzed out and, coiled around him like a giant python.

Boom!

The three blasts of Genesis Qi arrived, shockwaves violently unfurling as Genesis Qi collided.

Further behind, the expressions of the other five participants from Lu Hong’s faction changed slightly, as they sped up in order to provide support.

However, Zhou Yuan and the other two disciples from Lu Song’s faction now stood before them, obstructing their path.

Wu Hai shot a chilling glance at Zhou Yuan, before shouting, “Will you have trouble senior brother Yuan Hong?”

Yuan Hong swept a glance behind him, and waved his hand as he nonchalantly replied, “I’ll play with them for a bit, you guys only need to finish off the three of them.”

He then looked towards the three figures that were rapidly surrounding him as a mocking smile rose from the corners of his mouth. “You guys plan to join forces? Smart move, but do you really believe that your combined might is enough?”

“Follow me if you have the guts!”

With an icy laugh, his figure suddenly rose into the air and dashed towards the misty halfway point of the mountain. He was evidently planning on pulling the battleground to a higher location.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Tai turned towards the Zhou Yuan trio and said, “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, we’ll be troubling the three of you to delay the rest. We’ll come back to help you guys after finishing off Yuan Hong.”

As his voice faded, the three of them had already soared into the sky, as they hurriedly gave chase.

For this chief disciple selection, they needed to first gather their strongest power to deal with the biggest threat, Yuan Hong. Otherwise, neither of their two factions would have any chance of victory.

The four figures flew forward, swiftly disappearing into the mist.

Zhou Yuan’s expression did not change as he watched them leave, before turning his head to look at the two disciples from Lu Song’s faction consisting of one guy and a girl.

The guy was called Han Yan. He had a large muscular frame, and looked like a straightforward person. The girl was called Han Yu, and was quite a pretty dainty little thing.

The two of them were brother and sister.

Han Yan returned Zhou Yuan’s gaze with an honest smile, while Han Yu frowned a little. She and Lu Yan were very close, and they could be considered best friends. Hence, she had naturally been influenced by Lu Yan, and also felt that Zhou Yuan would be a burden.

“Brother Zhou Yuan, let’s do our best to delay them…” Said Han Yan.

Three against five, an absolute disadvantage in numbers. Once things started, the other side would surely gain the upper hand.

Han Yu swept a glance at Zhou Yuan and said, “Since we’ve chosen to stay behind, we’ve already resolved ourselves to fight to the bitter end, and have no intentions of retreating unscathed. It will be a success as long as we can delay them and win a little more time for senior sister Lu Yan and the rest.”

The two of them were evidently planning to go down fighting.

“I’ll do what I can.” Said Zhou Yuan with a slight smile.

Han Yu was clearly not very satisfied by Zhou Yuan’s lack of resolution, but ultimately did not say anything. She did not expect much from him in the first place after all.

Genesis Qi rose from Han Yan and Han Yu, their expression turning grave and wary as they stared at the five figures nearby.

Meanwhile, the five disciples from Lu Hong’s faction looked back with ridicule.

Wu Hai’s mocking gaze looked towards Zhou Yuan as he grinned and said, “So that’s what you guys are planning. Delay us while concentrating your forces to deal with senior brother Yuan Hong?”

“I have to say…”

“That your plan is truly delusional.”

The rest of them burst out into laughter. From the looks of it, they were not the slightest bit worried about Yuan Hong.

Wu Hai’s chilling gaze locked onto Zhou Yuan as he said to the other four, “Leave this one to me, I intend to wipe away my previous humiliation.”

From start to end, he still believed that he had only been defeated by a single punch because he had been caught off guard. If they were to duel again, it would not be so easy for Zhou Yuan to win.

The other four also understood that Wu Hai was intent on washing away his previous defeat, and naturally had no objections.

“Go!”

Upon seeing this, Han Yan and Han Yu made their move, flying away towards another location.

“Be careful brother Zhou Yuan!”

The other four participants from Lu Hong’s faction merely laughed, before swiftly giving chase, as if they were cats toying with a mouse.

In the wake of their departure, only Zhou Yuan and Wu Hai were left facing each other on the stone platform.

Wu Hai stared at Zhou Yuan, as a sinister smile rose from the corners of his mouth.

“Zhou Yuan, do you know how I will torment you this time?”
