Chapter 107 It’s Over (1/2)
”Prince Zhou Yuan! Prince Zhou Yuan!”
Deafening cheers continued to echo, causing Great Zhou's morale to soar.
”Prince Zhou Yuan killed an Alpha-Origin expert?!”
The troops were not the only ones who had been shocked by this outcome. Wei Canglan and the Black Venom King were likewise astonished and confused. They were all too clear with regards to just how strong Zhou Yuan was, how could a mere Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage pract.i.tioner have accomplished such a feat?
However, the facts were right before their eyes. They had no choice but to accept it no matter how unbelievable it was.
It was at this very moment that respect towards Zhou Yuan arose within the hearts of these two Alpha-Origin experts. They had been courteous to him in the past mostly due to his status, but Zhou Yuan's feat of slaying an Alpha-Origin expert who stood on the same level as themselves made them involuntarily feel respect towards him.
In this world, one's own power was the most convincing.
The shock lasted for a while before their hearts gradually settled down. The advantage Great Qi previously had no longer existed after losing two Alpha-Origin experts.
Moreover, Great Qi's soldiers were not the only ones whose morale had dropped. Even the eyes of the still battling Alpha-Origin experts were now filled with confusion and certainty, causing their momentum to fall somewhat which made them no longer as ferocious as before.
They had begun to realize that something had gone wrong.
They had originally arrived in an overbearing manner, seven Alpha-Origins were more than enough enough to crush Great Zhou. Who could have imagined that their information would be so off, Zhou Qing was not the only Alpha-Origin Great Zhou had, but instead, five had appeared!
The most frightening however, was the Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage girl and Zhou Yuan.
These two individuals were clearly the weakest, merely two insignificant insects that did not even have the qualifications to fight them. And yet, these two had been the first to strike deadly blows, swiftly slaying two Alpha-Origin experts in the most overbearing of ways…
Such a turn of events naturally made the remaining Alpha-Origin experts on Great Qi's side feel that things were taking a turn for the worst. Thus, they held back a little of their power, preparing to escape if the need arose.
However, this minute change did not escape the eyes of their opponents. Wei Canglan's and the Black Venom King's attacks grew even fiercer, h.e.l.l bent on ensuring the other party would be incapable of freeing themselves.
...
”It seems that the situation has not developed as you had expected.” In the sky above the main gate, Zhou Qing smiled coldly as he and Qi Yuan battled intensely, Genesis Qi clas.h.i.+ng violently.
Qi Yuan's expression was exceptionally ugly. He never imagined that events would unfurl in such a manner.
They originally had a total of seven Alpha-Origins on their side, a force that should have steamrolled over Great Zhou. Who could have guessed that two of the seven would be killed in such a short span of time!
”Zhou Yuan is really a bringer of misfortune. If I knew that this would have happened, I would have found an opportunity to get rid of him earlier!” Qi Yuan gnashed his teeth in regret.
He had at long last began to dawn upon a certain truth. Ever since Zhou Yuan had demonstrated his talents in the Great Zhou Inst.i.tute, everything had slowly began to change. Whether it was the failure of his ploy to obtain the Great Zhou Inst.i.tute, Zhou Yuan's success in bringing Wei Canglan to the royal faction's side, or even the mysterious grade 4 Genesis Rune proficient girl and giant Genesis beast, all of these incidents were somehow tied to Zhou Yuan.
The originally declining royal clan had grown strong again in less than a year.
Only when Qi Yuan gave it some careful thought did he discover to his horror that everything had changed because of Zhou Yuan!
Rumble!
While Qi Yuan was distracted by his thoughts, a ball of fiery and violent Genesis Qi smashed towards him like a fireball, causing him to respond by hastily spitting out a mouthful of Genesis Qi. A wave swept out from the center of the collision, blowing his figure away.
”Qi Yuan, you dare to be distracted while I'm here.” Zhou Qing brandished the Nine Flames Spear, his chilling gaze locked onto Qi Yuan.
Qi Yuan's expression darkened as he retorted in a cold voice, ”Don't be too happy Zhou Qing!”
”Your situation seems to be growing worse and worse.” Zhou Qing let out an icy laugh. He slightly tilted his head to the side, only to see that Zhou Yuan had turned into a flash of silver light, shooting towards another gate after killing w.a.n.g Chaotian.
Qi Yuan also caught sight of this, his expression immediately turned even uglier. Zhou Yuan was currently the only person who was free to do as he pleased. As such, whichever battlefield he joined would soon result in a defeat.
”Rebel, it's already too late for regrets.” Zhou Qing laughed heartily. Without further ado, his attacks suddenly intensified, covering the sky as they descended and engulfed Qi Yuan.
...
After killing w.a.n.g Chaotian, waves of piercing pain pulsed from between Zhou Yuan's brows. This pain made him understand that too much of his Spirit had been depleted, and he would not last much longer.
”I need to make use of this opportunity to further our advantage. At least one more Alpha-Origin has to be killed to truly bring about a reversal.”
Zhou Yuan's gaze swept towards the other Alpha-Origin battlefields.
