Chapter 944 Clash between Law Domain Experts (1/2)

When the wounds on Zhou Yuan’s arms finally closed, he leaped into the air and landed next to the cheering Tianyuan Region crowd at one side of the valley.

“Zhou Yuan, are you alright?” Yi Qiushui was the first to rush forward, her pretty oval-shaped face filled with worry.

Although they had been separated by some distance, she had still been able to sense how terrifying Zhao Mushen’s attack had been. Most importantly, the attack had actually followed Zhou Yuan through the spatial passage.

Zhou Yuan shook his head and said, “Zhao Mushen is very strong. If I stayed behind to fight, I would most likely have lost.”

Shang Xiaoling and the others suddenly rushed over and blurted out in succession, “Chief pavilion master, you’re already very amazing. That’s the Zhao Mushen! If word spreads that you managed to safely retreat from under his eyes, it would definitely cause quite a commotion.”

Zhou Yuan chuckled. He naturally understood just how big Zhao Mushen was in the hearts of the Divine Dwelling stage practitioners of the Hunyuan Heaven. Hence, he did not blame Shang Xiaoling and the others for being filled with respect and fear when they talked about Zhao Mushen.

However, Zhou Yuan did not say anything else on the topic. He gazed at the group and said, “It was our bad luck to have met the Wanzu Region and Zhao Mushen, but since we managed to retreat unscathed, there is no need for us to dwell on it.

“We’ll continue searching these mini domains, and if we encounter another team, scout them out first and report back to me before we decide our next course of action.”

Zhou Yuan then disseminated a series of instructions. The Tianyuan Region group obediently listened before scattering to carry out his commands.

Zhou Yuan found a boulder and sat down.

He urgently needed to inspect his seal first. Otherwise, they would only face more trouble if Zhao Mushen managed to pursue them. After all, it was not possible for Zhou Yuan’s team to keep withdrawing.

Zhou Yuan raised his hand as a faint seal emerged on its back.

His Spirit reached out and entered the seal, carefully searching for any strange undulations. This seal was the handiwork of the Law Domain stage experts from the nine regions. As such, the experts’ auras maintained a certain equilibrium, serving to monitor each other.

Zhou Yuan based his inspection on this equilibrium point, trying to figure out if anything was amiss.

After a long time, Zhou Yuan put down his hand as his expression relaxed slightly. His findings told him that the auras within the seal were indeed in equilibrium. In other words, Zhao Xiansun’s trick was a one-time thing.

Hence, Zhou Yuan no longer needed to worry that Zhao Mushen would pursue them.

This gave him some time to increase his strength.

After putting down this worry, Zhou Yuan closed his eyes. Although he had ultimately neutralized Zhao Mushen’s attack, it had taken a lot out of him, and he needed to recover his Genesis Qi.

While Zhao Yuan was recovering, he was unaware of the ripples he had caused outside the Fallen Abyss.

……

Half a day prior, outside the Fallen Abyss.

A group of Law Domain stage experts was sitting in the air, vast Genesis Qi gathering around them like clouds.

Their gazes were fixed on a giant compass in front of them. Over ten thousand dots flickered on the compass, representing the participants of the nine regions tournament.

Chi Jing’s eyes were likewise glued to the compass. Through the aura she had left in the seals, she could clearly differentiate which dot belonged to which individual.

From the very beginning, she paid close attention to Zhou Yuan’s dot.

She observed him as he led the team into a mini domain, and she soon discovered that another team had entered at practically the same time.

Her pupils shrank slightly, evidently recognizing the team.

The Wanzu Region, Zhao Mushen!

Chi Jing was silent. A terrifying undulation erupted from her body, and all the Law Domain stage experts present suddenly looked towards her.

Bzz!

Chi Jing lifted a slender finger, and endless Genesis Qi converged above her head, transforming into a ten-thousand-foot long glowing azure blade. The blade looked as if it was crafted from crystal, a sign that Genesis Qi had been compacted to the limit.

When the blade appeared, cracks formed in the surrounding space.

Swish!

The azure blade pierced through the air as it mercilessly slashed downwards towards Zhao Xiansun with destructive power.

Zhao Xiansun raised his brow as he waved his sleeve. Boundless Genesis Qi converged towards him, forming a ten-thousand-foot-wide pair of wings. The wings blotted out the sun, their crystal-clear feathers sparkling under the light.

Clang!

The azure blade collided with a wing, causing layers of space to crumble around them.

The other Law Domain stage experts were greatly alarmed, and they quickly moved to neutralize the aftershocks from the clash. Otherwise, the land below would be instantly destroyed.

Zhao Xiansun indifferently asked, “Grand elder Chi Jing, are you crazy?”

Chi Jing let out an icy chuckle. “Zhao Xiansun, I never imagined that a mighty Law Domain expert like yourself would be so despicable. Aren’t you afraid that your petty tricks would bring shame to the Wanzu Region?”

She pointed towards the compass. The other Law Domain experts followed her finger and instantly found that Zhou Yuan and Zhao Mushen had met, causing them to frown slightly.

As Law Domain experts, none of them were fools. Hence, they knew that it was indeed far too unlikely for Zhou Yuan and Zhao Mushen to meet in the very first round.

Zhao Mushen merely smiled and said, “Grand elder Chi Jing, don’t make baseless accusations. Do you have any proof?”

He had done it very cleanly and was not afraid of being discovered. Hence, the other party could not do anything to him as long as he did not admit to it.

Chi Jing, however, had no intentions of arguing. Icy light flashed in her eyes as she slowly raised a slender finger. Azure light pulsed from her body.
