Chapter 142 Perilous Situation (1/2)
In front of the lake.
Zhou Yuan's expression had turned rather grave as he gazed upon the toying look on Wu Huang's face. Meeting Wu Huang here was definitely not part of his plans.
This was really quite unlucky.
After all, the current Zhou Yuan was completely outcla.s.sed.
Hence, Zhou Yuan's gaze flickered slightly for an instant, before Genesis Qi suddenly exploded below his feet. Not even a shred of hesitation could be seen as his figure turned and fled.
The only thing to do in this situation was run.
”Can you really escape?” However, Wu Huang merely smiled faintly in response to Zhou Yuan's decisive choice to escape, a smile that contained a faint hint of mockery.
His foot slammed into the ground as vigorous scarlet-red Genesis Qi erupted from within his body. Unbearable heat pulsed, making the lake waters boil as the ground rapidly cracked.
Bang!
Wu Huang's figure abruptly shot forth.
In the mere span of a few breaths, he had appeared directly behind Zhou Yuan, a scarlet-red hand swatting downwards at the latter with power so great that the ground below to fissure.
”Dragon Step!”
Zhou Yuan did not dare to be even a split second late and hurriedly performed Dragon Step.
His figure turned somewhat blurry as the hand descended, causing the attack to brush past his body.
Bang!
The ground split apart, while Zhou Yuan borrowed the force to propel himself even further away.
Though his attack had missed, Wu Huang was unaffected, neither hurried nor slow as his figure continued to closely give chase. The smile on his face was akin to a cat toying with a mouse as he sent a hand swatting towards Zhou Yuan from time to time, making the latter cut an extremely sorry figure.
In a short few minutes, Zhou Yuan had seen his life flash past his eyes multiple times after nearly taking several direct hits from Wu Huang.
He was also clearly growing rather weary as the chase dragged on.
”What a pitiful crippled dragon…” Wu Huang walked towards Zhou Yuan with his hands behind his back, his face full of compa.s.sion as he said, ”But don't worry, after killing you, I will destroy the Great Zhou Empire so that your family can keep you company.”
Boom!
However, the moment he neared Zhou Yuan, the wearines on the latter's face abruptly disappeared, replaced by an icy coldness. With a stamp, Zhou Yuan no longer tried to flee, but instead charged at Wu Huang like a bolt of lightning.
”Dragon Tablet Hand, break the sky!”
His hand was swung, Genesis Qi rumbling as the air in front of it was rapidly blasted away.
”Grade 3 Genesis Rune, Black Gold Hand Rune!”
In conjunction with using the strongest move in his a.r.s.enal, a light rune appeared on Zhou Yuan's palm. A black gold radiance emerged, amplifying the destructive power of the attack and the hardness of the hand.
An astonis.h.i.+ng amount of power exploded in a split second.
Boom!
A hand containing all the power Zhou Yuan could muster powerfully swung towards Wu Huang.
Wu Huang's eyes narrowed slightly, his five fingers clenching into a fist as he punched.
Dong!
A deep sound rang out as the ground below the two cracked open. Zhou Yuan's body was flung backwards, his feet leaving deep grooves on the ground.
Wu Huang's sleeves had been torn open, the force making him take a dozen steps back.
His expression became extremely ominous at this moment, killing intent flaring as he stared at Zhou Yuan. ”So even a cornered rabbit can bite back.”
”But you've now truly angered me!”
Powerful scarlet-red Genesis Qi flooded out from the top of Wu Huang's head like a tsunami as an extremely domineering heat spread.
