Chapter 124 Break the Sky (1/2)
Zhou Yuan's gaze scanned the area, eventually coming to a stop on a certain spot behind Gu Lang where a black crystal ball that s.h.i.+ned with a strange light lay atop a stone pedestal. Ancient patterns spread down the pedestal, reaching into the ground.
The crystal ball should be the core of the Spirit Devouring Tower.
”Small fry?”
Zhou Yuan seemed to smile when heard Gu Lang's words. The former was after all someone who had once slayed an Alpha-Origin expert. Although he had borrowed Silver Shadow's power, the one before him, Gu Lang, was merely a mid Heaven Gate stage pract.i.tioner.
”How does it feel to smash your own foot with a rock?” Zhou Yuan smiled thinly. If not for Gu Lang having designs on Yaoyao and subsequently giving them two entry tokens to the Spirit Refining Tower, they would have likely left, no desire to involve themselves in this affair.
Gu Lang's indifferent face did not change as he replied, ”You think you can stop me? Do you even think that you're qualified to be a stone in my path? At best, you're a tiny pebble that I can easily kick aside.”
An eerie smile appeared from the corners of his lips as he stared at Zhou Yuan.
”You seem to have a pretty good relations.h.i.+p with that girl, right? Don't worry, after we capture all of you, I'll make sure you have a front row seat as I properly enjoy her!”
Zhou Yuan emotionlessly lifted his head, his eyes focusing on Gu Lang as he sighed, ”Looks like you really won't be able to live past today.”
His filthy words had already triggered Zhou Yuan's killing intent.
”Oh?” The smile on Gu Lang's lips gradually turned malicious. He took a step forward as violent Genesis Qi abruptly erupted from his body, the strength of the initial Heaven Gate stage fully on display.
Gu Lang's Genesis Qi had a dim yellow hue and gave off an aura of extreme heaviness, as if it contained the power of mountains.
This was the Gu clan's best Genesis Qi, grade 4 Genesis Qi, the Thousand Subduing Mountains Qi!
”Small fry, where exactly did you find the confidence to to spew such bold words before me? Especially with your mere Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage strength.” Gu Lang grinned evilly.
Bang!
His body abruptly shot forward he instant his words faded, appearing in front of Zhou Yuan in a few breaths. The former's eyes were filled with viciousness as a fist was sent blasting at the latter.
Cackle!
The air in front of the punch was violently blown away. Berserk punch winds wrapped in dim yellow Genesis Qi were akin to enormous boulders rapidly tumbling down from above, full of raw and violent power.
Zhou Yuan's eyes flashed. In the next instant, dark gold Omni Python Qi abruptly burst out from his body. He showed no signs of backing down as his five fingers also tightened into a fist and punched!
Bang!
Two fists slammed into each other, instantly cracking the ground below their feet. A shockwave devastated the surroundings as both figures first jerked back before shooting backwards.
Dust filled the air. Gu Lang had a dark expression as he stared at Zhou Yuan. The former could not believe that he had not gained the slightest advantage in their previous clash. Moreover, he could sense an extremely tyrannical poison in Zhou Yuan's Genesis Qi which had maniacally tried to invade his body upon contact. If not for his perceptive Spirit, he would have likely suffered quite a bit.
All of these observations slightly amazed Gu Lang. He was after all a Heaven Gate stage expert, while Zhou Yuan was merely at the advance Qi Nouris.h.i.+ng stage. The gap between the two should be huge.
”The Genesis Qi this guy cultivated is not simple.” However, Gu Lang quickly understood, his eyes now burning with greed as he stared at the dark gold Genesis Qi around Zhou Yuan's body. The quality of the latter's Genesis Qi had evidently exceeded grade 4.
”So that's the source of your confidence.”
”I have become rather interested in your Genesis Qi. After I capture you, there will be a way to extract its Qi cultivation method from your mouth.” Gu Lang grinned in a sinister manner.
Zhou Yuan merely followed with a faint smile. ”Since you're so interested in it… it will be fitting for me to use it to beat you to death.”
Swis.h.!.+
Two figures shot forward at practically the same time.
On the ground, two figures seemed to weave into one, punches and kicks rapidly thrown one after another, leaving numerous after images behind.
While they were fighting, an insidious look flitted across Gu Lang's eyes. His five fingers clenched into a fist as a rune began to light up on his arm.
