Chapter 800 Swift as Thunder (1/2)
A giant torrent of Genesis Qi crashed downwards in the wake of Chen Beifeng’s thunderous shout. Space trembled as the torrent swept past, rapidly filling the surroundings with an alarming pressure.
The expressions on many of the surrounding onlookers changed as they hurriedly withdrew, afraid to be caught in the attack.
They could clearly feel Chen Beifeng’s anger. The attack he sent out was extremely powerful, and he evidently planned on teaching Zhou Yuan a painful lesson. There was after all no one in the four pavilions who did not know that Lin Zheng and Wu Dao were his underlings, and yet Zhou Yuan still dared to openly strip away their positions in front of such a large crowd. This was a very disrespectful act towards him!
Zhou Yuan could likewise feel the alarming torrent that was surging towards him, causing his eyes to narrow slightly. Chen Beifeng was indeed very bossy.
However, if Chen Beifeng thought this could intimidate him, Zhou Yuan could only say that Chen Beifeng had overestimated himself!
Iciness surged in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. Since Chen Beifeng had chosen to suppress him through force, there was no need for Zhou Yuan to show any courtesy.
With a twirl of his palm, the sword orb appeared and shot forth.
Bzz!
Torrential sword qi spewed out and was immediately enveloped by scales and Spirit fire. With the support of all 11 million Genesis Qi stars in Zhou Yuan’s Divine Dwelling, the sword light transformed into a giant glowing azure sword. Under the crowd’s watching gazes, the giant sword ferociously smashed into the incoming Genesis Qi torrent.
Boom!
A berserk-without-equal Genesis Qi shock wave erupted from the collision.
Several onlookers were thrown backwards.
The shock wave unfurled as the two forces destroyed each other.
The glowing azure sword shot backwards, turning back into the sword orb as Zhou Yuan caught it. However, the powerful force jerked Zhou Yuan’s figure, forcing him to take several steps backwards.
His gaze flashed a little. He had sensed Chen Beifeng’s formidableness from their brief contact. It was no wonder that Chen Beifeng was the strongest contender for the position of wind pavilion master.
Swoosh!
A figure appeared in the air, revealing itself to be Chen Beifeng. The expression in his eyes fluctuated indeterminately as he stared at Zhou Yuan. In his previous rage, he had originally intended to swiftly wound Zhou Yuan and awe everyone. He never imagined that Zhou Yuan would not only neutralize his attack but also only pay a small price of taking several steps back. This was completely different from what he had expected.
From what Chen Beifeng had sensed of Zhou Yuan the day before, he should not have been capable of receiving such an attack unscathed.
One must know that there were only eight pavilion commanders in the entire Wind Pavilion, four of which were part of his camp. This was a result of his efforts over a long period of time, and it would be a major loss if he allowed Zhou Yuan to remove three of them all of a sudden.
More importantly, it would make him lose face.
“Deputy pavilion master Zhou Yuan, although Jin Teng’s provocations yesterday may have made you very unhappy, you should not selfishly take revenge in such a manner because it will only make you appear like a joke. Let them go, and I will not pursue this matter any further,” said Chen Beifeng as he cast an indifferent glance at Zhou Yuan.
His tone was ordinary, but there was a hint that he was used to commanding others in his voice.
It was likely that no one had ever been disobedient towards him in the Wind Pavilion for many years.
Zhou Yuan raised his eyelids and said, “Deputy pavilion master Chen Beifeng, didn’t you hear what I said earlier? These three actually dared to attack me in the wind district, going against their superior. Do you think you’re the one who sets the rules in our Wind Pavilion?”
His tone was likewise calm, but within was a stubbornness and unyieldingness akin to a rock.
This caused a small commotion to break out in the surroundings, especially amongst the Wind Pavilion members, who could not help but widen their eyes. They had never seen anyone dare to speak to Chen Beifeng in this manner in the Wind Pavilion. In fact, even Ye Bingling, who was also a deputy pavilion master, would always suffer somewhat in their repeated clashes.
Zhou Yuan’s attitude likewise caused Chen Beifeng’s eyes to turn cold. Soon after, Chen Beifeng darkly said, “Rubbish, why would the three of them attack you for no reason? Don’t think that you can slander others without consequence just because you’re a new deputy pavilion master!”
“I also suspect that someone else is directing them.” Zhou Yuan let out an icy laugh as he looked deeply at Chen Beifeng.
Chen Beifeng’s expression grew increasingly frosty as he icily said, “You’re spewing nonsense.”
He took a step forward as boundless Genesis Qi erupted from his body, forming three nine-color halos behind him. “If deputy pavilion master Zhou insists on unfairly passing judgement on the three of them, I will not idly sit by.”
From the looks of it, he intended to forcibly snatch the trio away from Zhou Yuan’s hands.
“Humph, deputy pavilion master Chen Beifeng, how bold of you!”
A cold and clear voice suddenly rang out. Numerous gazes looked over and saw three figures walking out from the wind tower’s entrance. The one leading them was Ye Bingling, while Liu Zhixuan and Yi Qiushui followed behind.
“Since when do your words overrule the rules of the Wind Pavilion? Do you think you’re already the wind pavilion master?” Ye Bingling’s pleasant voice was filled with chilling iciness.
