Chapter 520 Sword Cometh Peak Besieges the Island (2/2)

They did not stupidly charge forward because of Yaoyao. The latter was after all a master of Genesis Runes, and could have easily set up several traps on the island. Blindly charging in would only result in unnecessary losses.

The disciples from the other peaks sighed when they saw this. Baili Che was no simpleton. He showed no impatience, and instead chose to push forward at a safe and steady pace. With such a huge advantage on Sword Cometh Peak’s side, Saint Genesis Peak was basically helpless.

The Saint Genesis Peak disciples began to panic somewhat as they watched the two thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples slowly approach, before gaze after gaze turned towards Zhou Yuan.

They were not the only ones. Even the disciples from the other peaks were now closely observing Zhou Yuan, hoping to find out how the new chief disciple of Saint Genesis Peak was going to deal with Sword Cometh Peak’s encirclement.

In fact, even sect master Qing Yang, the five peak masters and the elders of the various peaks had cast their attention towards this location.

In the sky east of the island, two thousand Sword Cometh Peak disciples slowly approached.

Zhou Yuan took in a deep breath as he watched this scene. He then turned towards the Saint Genesis Peak disciples and slowly said, “Do you guys trust me?”

The disciples looked at each other, before nodding.

“Good.”

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, “Everyone prepare to withdraw in the southwest direction. We’re leaving this place.”

The disciples that were already prepared for their last stand were stunned as they stared at Zhou Yuan in shock. Running away? What use was running at this juncture? It would only make them a bigger joke in the eyes of the other peaks.

Lu Yan gently gritted her teeth and said, “Are we still going to flee? We can’t escape them.”

If not for Zhou Yuan’s past accomplishments, she would have begun to feel that he was a little too cowardly.

Zhou Yuan looked at them and said in a low voice, “If you guys trust me, follow my orders. If the outcome of the ceremony is unsatisfactory, I will give up my position as chief disciple.”

The disciples fell silent. In the end, their figures began to rise into the air.

“Yaoyao, you lead them while I cover our backs.” Zhou Yuan looked towards Yaoyao. The latter faintly nodded as she rose into the air with Tuntun, taking the lead as she flew in the southwest direction.

Zhou Tai, Lu Yan, Zhang Yan and the rest immediately followed.

*Uproar*!

Their movements were immediately seen by the countless watching gazes, causing an uproar to sweep across the area.

No one had expected this. Saint Genesis Peak was running again at this juncture?

Did they think they would be able to escape?

Sword Cometh Peak had only allowed them to flee previously because the former wanted to concentrate on collecting Genesis essence. But this time, Sword Cometh Peak was clearly focused on finishing off Saint Genesis Peak.

Running away was completely useless in this situation.

The disciples from the other peaks secretly shook their heads, clearly quite disappointed by this turn of events. They had thought Zhou Yuan’s calmness stemmed from some kind of trump card. Who could have expected that he would choose to retreat in the end?

Baili Che was also stunned by the sight of the Saint Genesis Peak disciples abandoning the island and fleeing. He quickly looked towards Kong Sheng, and saw the latter seem to breath a small sigh of relief.

Kong Sheng calmly said, “I had originally thought they may have set up some kind of trap on the island. But it appears that I was worrying for nothing.”

Although he did not fear any traps set by the other party, it would inevitably lead to losses on their side.

Since the other side was abandoning the island, there was most likely no problem with it.

In that case, there was no longer any need for him to be wary.

Baili Che grinned. An eerily chilling look filled his eyes as he waved his hand and shouted in a thunderous voice.

“Hear my command Sword Cometh Peak disciples! Chase them at full force. Eliminate every single one of them from the ceremony!”

Rumble!

Countless Sword Cometh Peak disciples yelled as they surged forward.

On the island, Zhou Yuan’s eyes turned frosty as he watched the Sword Cometh Peak disciples shoot over at full speed. He did not utter a single word as Genesis Qi rose from under his feet, launching him into the air to catch up to the retreating Saint Genesis Peak disciples.

“Come Sword Cometh Peak…”

“I hope this giant present will not disappoint you guys…”
