Chapter 466 Who is Finished? (2/2)
The numerous disciples, Shen Taiyuan, Lu Hong, and the other elders were not the only ones who were closely following the situation here. In fact, even sect master Qing Yang and the other five hegemons at the highest spot in the sky had already discovered the current situation.
Sect master Qing Yang sighed and said, “Zhou Yuan is truly a good sapling. He has a high chance to become a Chosen in the future.”
Every Chosen of the Cangxuan Sect was the culmination of a tremendous amount of effort and grooming, and could be said to be the future backbones of the sect. As such, sect master Qing Yang’s assessment was high praise indeed.
The other hegemons faintly nodded in agreement.
Snow Lotus Peak master Liu Lianyi cast a sideway glance at peak master Ling Jun as she said, “Looks like someone is going to become a little nervous.”
Peak master Ling Jun’s handsome face was impassive. He swept a glance at the distant chief disciple peak and calmly said, “He is indeed rather talented. Unfortunately, this year’s chief disciple seat will not be his.”
Peak master Ling Jun did not even care that Wu Hai and the other three had been defeated by Zhou Yuan, because he understood that none of these individuals were even contenders for the chief disciple position.
They were merely tagging along to make the line-up appear more impressive. The true trump card still lay with Yuan Hong.
…
Half an incense stick of time later.
Zhou Yuan stood up as his hand closed around the Heavenly Yuan Brush. His figure rose into the sky, the brush hairs tightly wrapped around the two unconscious figures.
On another misty stone platform some distance away.
An intense battle was still ongoing here.
Two figures clashed ferociously, as powerful Genesis Qi swept outwards, leaving mark after mark on the stone stage.
Bang!
The two figures retreated after yet another clash.
Han Yu wiped away the blood at the corner of her mouth as she gritted her teeth and stared at her opponent, a young man called Zhu Qing.
The two of them were roughly equal in strength. As such, no one had managed to gain the upper hand even though they had been fighting for quite some time.
Zhu Qing grinned as he gazed at Han Yu and mockingly said, “You seem to be rather desperate to defeat me. Why? Are you planning on going to help that guy?”
He could clearly sense the urgentness and anxiety in Han Yu’s attacks. It was this same anxiety that had instead allowed him to find several openings. If not for her speed, Han Yu would have lost long ago.
Han Yu’s expression sunk a little.
“Hehe, it’s already been so long. I feel that he has most likely already been dealt with.” Taunted Zhu Qing.
“How much despair do you think you’ll feel when Chu Yang and Liu Xiang return?”
Han Yu bit hard into her lips as iciness rose in her eyes. She did not bother responding as Genesis Qi surged out with intent of continuing her offensive.
She needed to defeat Zhu Qing as quickly as possible, and then proceed to support Zhou Yuan. Otherwise, they would soon be utterly defeated.
However, she suddenly heard the sound of rushing wind just as her figure was about to move.
Zhu Qing also raised his head, peering towards the distant mist as a wide grin grew on his face. “Looks like you’re finished.”
Han Yu lifted her face, turning somewhat pale as she looked towards the rippling mist.
The mist was soon torn apart as a figure slowly descended.
Next, the mocking look on Zhu Qing’s face solidified bit by bit.
In contrast, Han Yu’s mouth slowly opened wider and wider.
“Zhou… Zhou Yuan?!”
The one who had appeared was naturally Zhou Yuan. He smiled at Han Yu, before shifting his gaze towards Zhu Qing as he gave the Heavenly Yuan Brush a gentle swing. Two bodies tumbled towards the latter, ending up lying at his feet.
“Who did you say… was finished?”
Zhu Qing was dumbstruck as he stared at the two figures before him. A chill quickly rose from the bottom of his feet, surging straight towards his scalp.
Intense fear and dread rapidly surged out from the depths of his eyes.
