Chapter 590 Not Even Bones Remain (2/2)
When they reached their destination, what greeted them was a destroyed mountain forest.
A hideous and terrifying crack had been ripped open in the endless sea of trees. It was hard to imagine what kind of crazy battle had occurred here...
Figure after figure stood on the many remaining trees, dumbstruck by the scene before their eyes, while not daring to advance any further. How had such destruction happened in the short period they had taken to arrive?
“What’s the current battle situation?”
“No idea, I don’t see any signs of Fan Yao…”
“What exactly is going on?”
“......”
The various factions whispered amongst themselves, their eyes filled with bewilderment. All they could see was Zhou Yuan’s figure, while Fan Yao was nowhere to be found.
Swish!
Tang Xiaoyan and Jin Zhang also rushed over at this moment with a group of disciples, while Wang Yuan arrived with the Sacred Palace disciples from another direction.
All of them clearly knew the importance of Zhou Yuan and Fan Yao’s fight. A decisive change would occur regardless of who lost. As such, they needed to know who the victor was as soon as they could.
However, from the expressions of both parties, it was clear that Tang Xiaoyan and Jin Zhang were the more worried side. They had after all personally witnessed Zhou Yuan fleeing earlier, and Fan Yao in that state had also been far too terrifying.
But they were somewhat puzzled when they arrived, because they were also only able to find Zhou Yuan’s figure, while no trace of Fan Yao could be seen. In fact, not even a slight Genesis Qi undulation could be sensed.
They looked at each other with dazed faces.
“Where’s Fan Yao?” Asked Tang Xiaoyan in a low voice.
Jin Zhang shook his head in response. As the two chief disciples looked at each other, a certain possibility rose in their minds, but was quickly cast out by their rationality.
At this moment, Wang Yuan was finally done searching the surroundings as he proceeded to shout, “Zhou Yuan! Where’s chief disciple Fan Yao?”
Zhou Yuan swept a glance at the former, and nonchalantly said, “Dead.”
Wang Yuan was taken aback, but soon retorted in a mocking voice, “Have you been beaten silly?!”
The others also roared with laughter. They had all seen Zhou Yuan miserably feeling earlier, and yet he dared to say such a boastful thing now.
The faces of the Cangxuan Sect disciples turned a little red with embarrassment, feeling that Zhou Yuan’s bragging was indeed a little unrealistic.
Zhou Yuan merely chuckled at their reactions. He did not bother explaining but instead waved his sleeve, causing a stream of golden Genesis Qi to sweep out towards the levelled mountain forest in the distance.
After several dozen breaths, his Genesis Qi returned along with a white bone claw staff, which Zhou Yuan caught in his hand. It was the low grade Heaven Genesis Weapon that belonged to Fan Yao!
After toying with it for a moment, he lifted his head and pointed towards the still laughing Wang Yuan.
“I guess I can call this a memorial item?”
His soft chuckle spread, while the roaring laughter from before began to fade little by little.
Wang Yuan stared at the white bone staff in Zhou Yuan’s hand, as the ridicule on his face slowly turned rigid.
Tang Xiaoyan and Jin Zhang were stupefied, their eyes nearly popping from their sockets.
The various factions felt as if they had been struck by lightning, standing there rooted to the spot, and looking as if they had seen a ghost.
Time seemed to freeze at this very moment.
