Chapter 941 Encounter (2/2)

The eight beams of sword light had surpassed their expectations. The beams instantly sliced apart their attacks, and the remaining sword qi ruthlessly struck their bodies.

Urgh!

The eight individuals were sent flying, and they vomited mouthfuls of blood.

The squad leader’s face was filled with terror. He had never expected that even the eight of them working together would be unable to block even a single sword attack from Zhou Yuan. The strength of Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi far exceeded their imagination.

On the giant mountain, the retreating Tianyuan Region members burst into cheers, their originally low morale recovering somewhat.

Yi Qiushui continued to hurry them. The three hundred individuals swiftly rose into the air and began moving towards the location Shang Xiaoling had released the signal.

Zhou Yuan stood in the air, his eyes filled with indifference as he gazed at the eight Wanzi Region Divine Dwelling stage practitioners. They did not dare to approach and could only look at him in fear and anger.

The corners of Zhou Yuan’s lips curled downwards slightly. These Wanzu Region members were truly arrogant. To think that a few unknown individuals would dare to act all high and mighty before him. Did they think his sword qi was merely for display?

“Zhao Mushen is indeed very strong, but unfortunately, the likes of you guys cannot subdue me. If you continue to follow us, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

As his voice rang out, he turned around and left in an unhurried manner.

The squad leader gnashed his teeth in anger. “Keep on acting! We’ve already notified our first senior brother. When he comes, we’ll watch you kneel and beg for forgiveness!”

However, the squad leader no longer dared to pursue. Zhou Yuan’s earlier sword attack had already frightened him.

...

Swish!

Three hundred figures pushed their speed to the limit as they frantically flew through the air. The scattered scouts continuously returned to the group along the way.

The mood was vastly different from when they had just arrived. Panic was rising in the hearts of the Tianyuan Region members. Encountering the Wanzu Region and Zhao Mushen had evidently placed them under a tremendous amount of stress.

At the front of the group, Zhou Yuan maintained a composed expression, but he did not try to console them because he felt it would not be effective.

“Zhao Mushen…”

Zhou Yuan could not help but sigh as he observed the frightened expression of the Tianyuan Region members. As expected of the king of Hunyuan Heaven’s Divine Dwelling stage, his name alone was enough to make so many people panic.

However, Zhou Yuan also understood that his current chances against Zhao Mushen were abysmal.

Although he had a few trump cards, he did not believe that Zhao Mushen did not have any.

He could only defeat him if he unlocked the ninth Divine Dwelling.

However, it was extremely difficult and unrealistic to achieve in a short amount of time. Hence, he intended to avoid Zhao Mushen for the time being.

The Fallen Abyss was home to numerous opportunities. Zhou Yuan needed to make full use of it to unlock the ninth Divine Dwelling before being able to face Zhao Mushen.

Before that happened, Zhou Yuan did not mind running from Zhao Mushen every time they met.

He did not feel that fleeing was disgraceful. Stupidly challenging an opponent while knowing full well that you weren’t his match was essentially courting death.

Over four hundred individuals moved as fast as lightning. After an hour, a dozen figures rose to meet them. It was Shang Xiaoling’s group.

Space distorted nearby as a several-foot-long spatial crack squirmed. It was the mini domain’s exit.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand. Several hundred figures orderly rushed towards the spatial crack in silence.

Everyone was quite dispirited. After all, no one expected that they would end up fleeing from their first mini domain in such a sorry manner.

Zhou Yuan stood in the air as he watched the team hurriedly exit the mini domain. Every second mattered at this juncture. Once Zhao Mushen arrived, he would definitely be able to make them suffer losses.

Zhou Yuan could only hope that Zhao Mushen arrived a little later.

However, when this thought flashed across Zhou Yuan’s mind, the corner of his eye suddenly twitched. He expressionlessly lifted his head and saw the space ripple. A slim figure slowly emerged.

An alarming pressure filled the area.

The eyes of the retreating Tianyuan Region group flooded with terror as they gazed upon this figure.
