Chapter 472 Everyone Shocked (2/2)

So what did this mean?

It meant that Zhou Yuan’s strength had surpassed their combined might.

The trio had dull, sluggish looks on their faces, especially Lu Yan and Zhang Yan. The two of them had nitpicked on Zhou Yuan the most, and even genuinely felt that he would be a burden in this chief disciple selection.

Never in their wildest dreams would they have imagined that the very person they had looked down on, would actually possess strength that surpassed even the trio’s combined might.

This made their expressions turn extremely complicated.

Zhou Yuan brandished the Heavenly Yuan Brush, its sharp tip pointed towards the ground at an angle as Genesis Qi pulsed from it.

His tranquil gaze looked towards the glaring deep crack, pausing on the pile of rubble at the very end. Though his earlier attack had been rather swift and fierce, and had made Yuan Hong suffer somewhat, the former could sense that the latter had not sustained any fatal injuries.

This opponent was also unexpectedly difficult for Zhou Yuan.

However, Zhou Yuan also felt that he had nothing to fear. After all, he had succeeded in pulling through the most dire juncture earlier. What’s more, the situation was already beginning to turn.

The newly acquired silver bone stage, plus his Genesis Qi and the Heavenly Yuan Brush made it such that Zhou Yuan’s true battle power was no weaker than Yuan Hong’s peak eighth layer strength.

“You’ve already lost your final chance by choosing not to crush me earlier.”

Iciness surfaced in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. In the next instant, his foot powerfully pushed off the ground, sending his figure shooting forward and appearing above the pile of rubble.

“Are you only able to hide like a mouse now?”

Zhou Yuan let out an icy laugh as he swung the Heavenly Yuan Brush. Dreadful power poured down, instantly turning the countless rocks below to power.

A pitch-black brush fell with unmatched force, causing the surrounding ground to crumble as it darted towards the depths of the crack.

Swish!

As the brush descended with terrifying power, a ray of scarlet light suddenly soared out from the pitch-black darkness, and ultimately collided with the brush.

Clang!

A loud and clear sound of metal striking metal echoed.

A frightening shockwave of Genesis Qi unfurled, devastating the surroundings. It was as if the giant plaza had been relentlessly plowed, as cracks continuously appeared on the mountain top.

Some distance away, Zhou Tai, Zhang Yan and Lu Yan were caught in the aftershocks, causing their figures to be swept away as blood spurted from their mouths.

However, they ignored their injuries and focused instead on the clash.

Zhou Yuan’s figure was flung backwards, his feet drawing two long marks on the ground.

He stared to the front, where Yuan Hong’s figure emerged once again from the scattering dust.

His clothes were in tatters and hair a mess, making him cut quite the sorry figure. However, his eyes were currently akin to wild beast’s, filled with savageness and ferocity.

Vigorous Genesis Qi rose around him, causing a tremendous pressure to spread.

The most eye-catching thing, however, was the object he was tightly gripping with both hands, a scarlet-red edgeless broadsword that seemed to tower in front of him.

Intense heat spread from the sword, that was seemingly capable of melting the ground.

Yuan Hong’s hands rested on the pommel of the sword as the surrounding Genesis Qi frantically converged towards him, causing his aura to rise.

Countless gazes looked towards the broadsword in Yuan Hong’s hands, as their pupils shrank slightly .

“Low grade Heaven Genesis Weapon, Heaven Flame Sword!”

Several cries of surprise rang out across the area.

High up in the sky, peak master Lianyi let out an icy chuckle when she saw this, turning towards peak master Ling Jun as she said, “From what I know, that Heaven Flame Sword should belong to Sword Cometh Peak, right?”

Peak master Ling Jun’s eyelids lowered slightly as he nonchalantly replied, “Due to the spectacular ability displayed by Yuan Hong in Sword Cometh Peak, I bestowed this sword to him before he left for Saint Genesis Peak.”

Peak master Lianyi coldly snorted, her tone filled with mockery.

Outside the chief disciple peak, Lu Hong breathed a sigh of relief, before gritting his teeth once more.

“Blasted brat… since you’ve forced Yuan Hong to bring out even the Heaven Flame Sword, you should prepare yourself to pay a very painful price!”

From what he could see, bringing out the Heaven Flame Sword meant that Yuan Hong was finally going to use his true power.
