Chapter 788 One Sword (2/2)

Om!

As the sword light surged, a sword shadow pierced through like a bolt of lightning, aiming directly at Jin Teng.

Jin Teng’s expression changed dramatically. He didn’t expect Zhou Yuan’s sword light Genesis technique to be so strong that not even his giant spirit hand could stop it.

Jin Teng rapidly drew back, operating the three Divine Dwelling halos behind him to appear in front to form the final defense.

Bang!

However, the sword shadow pierced straight through. The azure scales covering the sword body emitted icy cold light that gave the Devil Sweeping Sword Orb an even more powerful outward appearance!

The three Divine Dwelling halos exploded.

But the sword shadow didn’t stop once. As the void quaked endlessly and Jin Teng froze with shocked horror, the sword shadow pierced through his shoulder.

Chi!

Jin Teng was blasted away, and he crashed onto the ground, leaving long marks across the square. Blood sputtered from his shoulder, dying his robe bright red.

It was only after piercing Jin Teng’s shoulder that the sword shadow vanished. But that powerful bone-chilling sword qi continued to remain in the world.

The whole bluestone square fell quiet.

All the members of the Wind Pavilion looked moved. Zhou Yuan’s move had happened in the blink of an eye, and in just a short period of around ten breaths, the outcome of the battle between Zhou Yuan and Jin Teng had been decided.

And that result was unbelievable to them.

Jin Teng had actually lost to Zhou Yuan of the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage?!

How was that possible?!

It should be said that Jin Teng wasn’t a nobody. He was a famous person also listed on the Divine Dwelling List. Moreover, based on strength, he was superior to Mo Yuan!

But he was defeated by Zhou Yuan in one move?!

In that silence, Chen Beifeng and Ye Bingling also looked at the scene with strange expressions, and they were evidently also a little surprised by Zhou Yuan’s performance.

Chen Beifeng narrowed his eyes and then slowly retracted his gaze. Zhou Yuan’s sword light was indeed very powerful, but he could feel that it should be at Zhou Yuan’s limits.

He may be a threat to Jin Teng, but not him.

Ye Bingling’s expression eased a little as she studied Zhou Yuan. She no longer regarded him as a young master who got in through his connections.

Yi Qiushui also breathed a sigh of relief. But she was also a little bit surprised by Zhou Yuan’s sword pill technique, which seemed to have become stronger since the last time she saw it when he fought Mo Yuan.

Yi Yan calmly watched the scene, but in his heart he was full of admiration for Zhou Yuan. At a time like this, those unruly and arrogant heaven prides of the Wind Pavilion could only be tamed with strength.

The tyrannical Genesis Qi surging around Zhou Yuan gradually subsided. He scanned the silent square and said in a nonchalant tone, “Anyone else has any objections?”

Everybody was silent.

Although they were proud and arrogant, they weren’t stupid. They opposed him previously because Zhou Yuan was only at the intermediate Divine Dwelling Stage and they didn’t believe he was capable enough to become a deputy pavilion master. But Zhou Yuan had now proven his strength...

If there was another objection, perhaps even elder Yi Yan wouldn’t sit back and let them criticize Lady Chi Jing’s order.

Jin Teng’s face was ashen as he stared at his shoulder that was dripping with blood. He knew that Zhou Yuan had held back; otherwise, the beam of sword light would have pierced his head…

Yi Yan strode forward with a smile. “Since there aren’t any objections, from today onward, Zhou Yuan will be the Wind Pavilion’s third deputy pavilion master.

“There is also more news. Lady Chi Jing has personally ordered that in two months time, the Wind Pavilion will hold the pavilion master selection to decide the Wind Pavilion’s new pavilion master.”
