Chapter 577 Probing (1/2)

Swish!

A flash of blood-red light burst out from the ground with a piercing whistle, blood-red Genesis Qi frantically swirling around it. With extremely terrifying destructive power, it shot straight towards Zhou Yuan’s throat amidst the numerous horrified gazes.

The blood-red attack had come far too unexpectedly. Hence, even Jin Zhang and the other Cangxuan Sect disciples could only watch as it whizzed passed, completely powerless to stop it.

Fan Yao was still turning around, however, an extremely sinister angle rose from the corners of his lips.

He had originally planned on destroying the Cangxuan Sect group here, but he had no choice but to change his plans upon seeing the arrival of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace group.

He clearly understood that the Cangxuan Sect side was not an easy target, and though he was confident in defeating them, his Sacred Palace side would undoubtedly have to pay a substantial price to do so.

When that happened, the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace would become the ultimate victors.

Fan Yao knew full well that these seemingly delicate looking young ladies were not weak at all...

Hence, he changed his plans at the last moment, and instead began to prepare an attack in secret with the intention of catching Zhou Yuan off guard to kill or at the very least seriously injure him.

It may seem as if he had been wasting time talking to Zhou Yuan earlier, but it was all carefully calculated to further Fan Yao’s true motive.

“Blood Shadow Art…”

A soft murmur sounded from Fan Yao’s mouth. If one were to look at this feet, one would discover that a flash of blood-red was stealthily pouring into the earth under his feet. At the other end of it, was the sinister flash of blood-red that had broken out from the ground...

It was a Genesis technique Fan Yao was extremely adept in, and was well-known for its bizarre and unsuspecting nature. No one knew how many had unknowingly died to its fangs in the past.

Bzz!

The reflection of the sharp blood-red light rapidly grew in Zhou Yuan’s pupils, it’s speed slightly alarming to even someone like himself. However, in contrast to the shock and horror experienced by the others, though there was some surprise on Zhou Yuan’s face, not a single trace of panic could be seen.

Because an ancient Saint Rune was swirling in the depths of his pupils.

The Decoder Saint Rune!

Though Fan Yao’s attack was extremely unconventional, nothing could hide from the Decoder Saint Rune.

As the sharp blood-red light arrived, Zhou Yaun’s five fingers reached out, jade light flowing on his skin, while silver light flashed within.

Thump!

Amidst the numerous horrified gazes, the nearly undetectably quick flash of blood-red was caught by Zhou Yuan’s hand.

Golden Genesis Qi erupted from his palm as he squeezed tightly.

Ch!

With a faint noise, the blood-red light was crushed. A speck of blood-red rose into the sky, making Zhou Yuan’s calm face appear rather mysterious under its blood-red glow.

*Gasp*!

A series of gasps rang out around him.

The sinister smile that hung from the corners of Fan Yao’s mouth turned rigid at this moment, clearly sensing that his Blood Shadow Art had been broken.

“How can this be?!”

His eyelids jumped as he abruptly turned around, and darkly stared at Zhou Yuan’s figure.

Zhou Yuan was currently opening his hand, as the blood-light within it gradually dissipated. His gaze met Fan Yao’s, as he smiled faintly and said, “I did not expect the great third ranked chief disciple of the Sacred Palace to be so unimpressive.”

The corners of Fan Yao’s mouth twitched, as rage surged in his eyes. Even so, he was mainly alarmed by this turn of events. His technique had caught many unawares in the past. In fact, foes of similar strength to himself had been caught off guard by it. Today was the first time the technique had been so easily neutralized.

The one who managed to nearly crippled Ning Mo was indeed rather capable.
