Chapter 465 Reversal (2/2)
Zhou Yuan chuckled. “Though it will not last for too long… it is enough to deal with you.”
Bzz!
His figure shot forward the instant the final word was said. Jade light surfaced on his body, the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand buzzing as its snow-white hairs rapidly turned pitch-black.
“Million Whale Rune!”
“Heavenly Serpent Scales!”
The silhouette of a giant whale appeared above the brush as scales quickly grew on Zhou Yuan’s glowing skin.
Dreadful energies surged.
Zhou Yuan was holding nothing back in this attack.
As the brush was swung downwards, the mountain below split apart.
Chu Yang’s expression turned exceedingly grave at this moment, clearly sensing the terrifying power in Zhou Yuan’s attack. He did not dare to waste any time. A sword slowly rose as he grasped it in his hand.
The blade of the sword was as thin as a cicada's wing, gleaming icily under the light in an eerie manner.
“Low grade Heaven Genesis technique, Heavenly River of Swords!”
Genesis Qi whizzed out as the surface of the sword seemed to swirl, turning it into a torrential river of sword Qi. The river ferociously charged into the sky, smashing mercilessly into the Heavenly Yuan Brush.
Chu Yang was clearly using his full power too.
Clang!
Two frightening attacks collided, causing a wave of destruction to unfurl. The nearby mountain tops were instantly destroyed, rocks blasting in every direction.
Bang!
The river of sword Qi was smashed to pieces by the brush, the sword letting out a miserable wail as it was sent flying.
Urgh!
Chu Yang was also caught in the aftershocks, his face turning pale as he vomited a mouthful of blood. His figure was tumbled through the air, while a horrified look filled his eyes.
When Zhou Yuan displayed his true power, Chu Yang finally understood how terrifying the former was.
It was no wonder that Wu Hai had been defeated.
Swish!
However, while Chu Yang’s figure was still hurtling through the air, Zhou Yuan appeared in front of him like a phantom. The latter’s cheeks abruptly ballooned, as a low voice quickly followed.
“Heavenly Sun Flame!”
Azure flames shot out, spouting towards Chu Yang along with a dreadful heat.
Chu Yang’s expression rapidly changed when he felt the intense heat from the azure flames. He had no time to bother with the injuries he had just sustained as he hurriedly began circulating his Genesis Qi. Chilling sword aura poured out and clashed with the azure flames.
Ch ch!
As the two forces clashed, the space around seemed to distort.
Flames suddenly emerged on the mountain below them, melting even the solid rock.
“Blasted!”
Chu Qing’s complexion was an ugly shade of ash gray. Zhou Yuan’s attacks were both relentless and ferocious, forcing the former into such a miserable position after a brief exchange.
“I can’t face him directly, but stall for time instead. Liu Xiang will soon break free from the Genesis Rune Boundary. I need to hang on till he’s done so we can join forces and reverse this situation!”
With such thoughts in mind, Chu Yang took in a deep breath as the Genesis Qi stars in his Qi Dwelling began to shake one after another. Vigorous Genesis Qi streamed out, swiftly leaving his body to defend against the encroaching azure flames.
However, while the chilling sword Qi was doing it best to push back against the azure flames, an arm suddenly reached out from behind the flames. Scales gleamed on the arm as it grabbed at him.
Sword Qi ripped through the air, but only managed to tear off a few of the scales. Jade light quickly appeared beneath the scales, blocking the sword Qi.
The five fingers at the end of the arm clenched tightly as it punched through the Genesis Qi, accompanied by a sonic boom as it rapidly enlarged in Chu Yang’s pupils.
Layer after layer of Genesis Qi defenses were shattered one after another.
Thump!
Chu Yang was basically unable to do anything else as the fist filled with frightening power slammed into his chest.
Urgh!
Chu Yang wildly vomited a mouthful of blood, his complexion deathly pale and his eyes seemingly frozen in place as he stared straight ahead. The azure flames slowly retreated, revealing the slim figure standing within.
“See, didn’t I say that there’s enough time.” Zhou Yuan raised his head, displaying a dazzling smile as he looked at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang’s face was filled with agony, and his heart filled with regret. Zhou Yuan was far too cunning and crafty. They should have sent the majority of their forces after him from the beginning to expel him from the selection as quickly as possible.
Unfortunately… the overwhelming advantage they had was already lost.
“Zhou Yuan… don’t be too happy. So what if you manage to beat us? You’ll never be able to get past senior brother Yuan Hong!”
“None of you will never be his match!”
Chu Yang held Zhou Yuan’s wrist in a death grip, as a mocking smile flowed out from the corners of his mouth. In the end, his eyelids slowly fell, falling unconscious due to his heavy injuries.
Zhou Yuan’s eyes remained indifferent as he grabbed Chu Yang and lifted him up.
“It is too early for you to say whether or not I’ll get past him.”
…
Boom!
On the stone stage, the Genesis Rune Boundary suddenly exploded.
A figure flew out from within, revealing himself to be Liu Xiang. He charged out of the boundary, accompanied by a stern roar, “Zhou Yuan, did you really think a mere boundary can stop me?”
He raised his head and looked to the front, only for his pupils to abruptly shrink.
A figure was seated on the edge of a cliff, his legs hanging off the edge, while a black brush leaned against his shoulder, its snow-white brush hairs dangling from its tip like white chains.
At the end of the brush hairs was a pitiful looking bounded figure. It was impossible to ascertain if he was dead or alive at a single glance.
Chu Yang!
The young figure seated on the cliff slightly lowered his head, calm indifference in his eyes as he gazed at Liu Xiang, who had just managed to break out from the boundary. The figure slowly stood up, casually flinging the bounded Chu Yang to the side as he looked down upon Liu Xiang from above.
“Finally out?”
“Since you’re out, get ready to accompany your senior brother.”
