Chapter 605 The Chosen Appear! (1/2)
Boom!
When Zhao Jing’s strong body collapsed to the ground, a deep noise echoed. The whole courtyard seemed to tremble. Of course, something else was trembling with it: the hearts of the countless onlookers.
All eyes were filled with intense astonishment as they looked at Zhao Jing whose right arm had exploded with blood. It was unknown whether he was still alive.
On the pavilion.
The Heavenly Ghost Sect’s chief disciple Liu Fu, who was originally holding a tea cup with both hands and leisurely waiting for the Cangxuan Sect to be humiliated, was frozen with terror. The shock and fear in his eyes burst forth, unable to be concealed.
Kacha.
The cup in his hand cracked and shattered under his grip.
He swallowed a mouthful of saliva and, with great difficulty, muttered, “How could this be...”
But nobody in the pavilion was in the mood to laugh at him; they all bore the same expressions of shock.
When Zhao Jing's right arm exploded in a fountain of blood after Zhou Yuan brushed by him, it had created a scene that was truly too unexpected.
No one would have thought that Zhao Jing, who had been occupying the upper hand all the while, would be completely defeated by Zhou Yuan in that very moment.
Zhao Jing was not a nobody but the chief disciple ranked second in Sacred Palace!
Among all the chief disciples of the Cangxuan Heaven, he could be said to be ranked in the top five!
Every chief disciple cast a complex gaze at the young figure from the Cangxuan Sect. Compared to the other chief disciples, Zhou Yuan, the chief disciple of the Saint Genesis Peak, seemed to rank last amongst the seven chief disciples of the Cangxuan Sect. This was true whether it was in reputation or seniority.
This was also the reason that the chief disciples of the other sects did not attach much importance to him. Even if they had previously heard about Zhou Yuan's accomplishment, they still regarded him with skepticism.
But at this moment, when the cruel reality was placed in front of them, they had to put away that irreverent state of mind, which was then replaced with graveness and fear.
The youngest chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect had proved everything with his own strength.
The female chief disciple of the Hundred Flowers Fairy Palace breathed a long sigh of relief before she turned to Zuoqiu Qingyu and said, “Qingyu, your friend really is too fearsome.”
He was indeed too fearsome. In the most direct and straightforward manner possible, he caused Zhao Jing’s arm to explode.
Zuoqiu Qingyu blinked her alluring peach blossom eyes. The impact she felt at this moment was no less than that of the others. Although she had confidence in Zhou Yuan, she only thought he would be evenly matched with Zhao Jing.
But as evident from that one scene, Zhou Yuan had nearly killed Zhao Jing.
“That guy became much stronger compared to the last time we saw each other!” she muttered in her mind. Her beautiful eyes then shifted to chief disciple Liu Fu of the Heavenly Ghost Sect. “Well, I believe no one doubts Zhou Yuan now, right?”
Liu Fu silently bowed his head and cleaned up the water stains the shattered cup had covered his body with. He looked a little embarrassed, and he did not dare answer Zuoqiu Qingyu. He too was shocked by Zhou Yuan's fierceness and didn't want to bring trouble to himself.
Right now, it was better to talk less.
Zuoqiu Qingyu felt great when she saw Liu Fu's expression, and she no longer paid any attention to him. Her beautiful eyes shifted to the courtyard and onto the slender figure that had captured the attention of countless people.
At the window, Li Chunjun and Ning Zhan were also staring fixedly below with extremely grave expressions.
“Such a strong punch,” Ning Zhan said then slowly added, “His physical body has been cultivated to an extremely high level. Even Zhao Jing cannot match up to him.”
Their North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall also had physical cultivation techniques. But even amongst the numerous chief disciples of the North Sea Dragon Subduing Hall, there wasn’t anyone who could reach Zhou Yuan's level.
Perhaps, only within the Chosen could someone who could reach such a level be found.
Although Li Chunjun was blind, he had still felt the collision between two astonishing forces. The stronger one should have belonged to Zhou Yuan.
“That punch...” Li Chunjun estimated his strength in his mind then slowly said, “He is walking ahead of us again.”
Ning Zhang scratched his head, saying helplessly, “He really is abnormal. I thought I could avenge my previous humiliation. But from the looks of it, I can’t defeat him even if we fought again.”
Li Chunjun’s lips trembled into a smile as he gently caressed the heavy sword on his back. “It’s good to have a goal in front of you. He will give me motivation to chase after him.
“Do you know...I think of him whenever I can't hold on anymore while training in the sword prison?”
Ning Zhang was silent for a moment. He responded, “Although you’ve become blind, you still shouldn’t lower your standards like that, right?”
Che!
