Chapter 571 Overwhelming (1/2)

An enormous crack cut through the mountain forests, the mountains along the way smashed to pieces, while gaze after gaze dazedly stared at this scene.

The atmosphere was deathly silent.

While Ning Mo being forced to his knees previously by a punch from Zhou Yuan could have been explained by the latter managing to catch the former off guard by concealing his true strength, the current scene had really begun to somewhat distort their common sense.

Ning Mo’s killing blow had essentially been his most powerful attack. In the face of such an attack, even a practitioner on the same level would not have dared to take it head-on.

However, who could have expected that Zhou Yuan would not only take zero evasive maneuvers, but select instead to forcefully blast apart Ning Mo’s strongest blow in the most barbaric of manners.

The gazes looked towards the final peak that had collapsed in the distance, where Ning Mo’s figure was buried in the rubble. Zhou Yuan’s earlier punch had been powerful enough to slay an initial ninth layer Alpha-Origin expert.

After a long period of silence, the gazes that turned back towards Zhou Yuan were now filled with extreme fear and wariness.

Only now did they fully understand why the clearly seventh layer Alpha-Origin Zhou Yuan had managed to become a chief disciple in the Cangxuan Sect.

In the valley, Jin Zhang and the numerous Cangxuan Sect disciples were also staring at this scene in astonishment. Although they knew that Zhou Yuan was strong, they had not expected him to crush a Sacred Palace chief disciple with such ease...

One must know that Ning Mo’s Genesis Qi cultivation had likewise exceeded the ten thousand mark. Such talent would surely place him amongst the upper ranks of the seven Cangxuan Sect chief disciples.

“I never imagined that his strength would grow to an astonishing level after the nine dragons baptism.” There was a rather complicated expression in Jin Zhang’s eyes. Zhou Yuan was far stronger than he had been during the Genesis reservoir ceremony.

Respect rose in the eyes of the other disciples.

On the other hand, the expressions of the Sacred Palace disciples turned somewhat ugly for a time, clearly unable to believe that Ning Mo would suffer such a miserable loss to a Cangxuan Sect chief disciple.

Chief disciple Wang Yuan in particular was stunned for quite some time, before finally returning to his senses, as his face rapidly turned extremely stormy.

Zhou Yuan ignored everyone’s gazes, as his indifferent eyes looked towards the final collapsed peak in the distance. Ning Mo’s Genesis Qi undulations had grown extremely weak, but should still have a single breath left within him.

Hence, Zhou Yuan started to walk forward, clearly intent on taking the former’s life while he was down.

Rumble!

However, just as he lifted his foot off the ground, a ferocious and piercing whistle was suddenly heard. A flash of black arrived along with alarming Genesis Qi, smashing straight towards Zhou Yuan’s head.

Before the flash of black landed, the ground below his feet had already begun to crumble.

Zhou Yuan’s foot paused as his eyes narrowed slightly. With a grasp of his hand, the Heavenly Yuan Brush appeared and swept upwards.

Clang!

The sound of metal striking metal loudly rang out as sparks flew in all directions.

A berserk ripple unfurled, snapping the surrounding ancient trees at their waists.

Zhou Yuan’s figure jerked a little as he raised his head. The object that had crashed into the Heavenly Yuan Brush was a black metal club on which ancient Genesis Runes had been inscribed.

At the other end of the black metal club was the Sacred Palace chief disciple, Wang Yuan.

The duo’s gazes clashed into the air, killing intent surging within their eyes.

Wang Yuan shouted with an eerily chilling look in his eyes, “You’ve got big balls kid, to think that you actually dared to try and kill him!”

Zhou Yuan’s earlier counter attack had been far too swift. As such, even Wang Yuan had been unable to rush to Ning Mo’s aid in time, resulting in the latter being gravely injured by Zhou Yuan.

A mocking smile rose from the corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth. “Since you Sacred Palace guys dared to kill my Cangxuan Sect disciples, why do I need to show any mercy to your chief disciple?”

Wang Yuan chillingly retorted, “What bold words, who the hell do you think you are?!”

His hands tightly grasped around the black metal bat as black Genesis Qi flowed along his arms. With a furious roar, the metal bat smashed downwards once more, with power so great that it would easily pulverise an entire mountain.

However, Zhou Yuan was unafraid, the Heavenly Yuan Brush turning into a black blur as it rose to meet the bat. Black brush and bat clashed violently time and time again, exchanging over a hundred blows in a mere span of a few breaths.

The duo’s surroundings were quickly demolished by their brutal blows.

Clang!
