Chapter 798 Insta-kill (1/2)

Bzz!

Deadly sword qi roared as a wave of destruction unfurled.

However, Jin Teng merely sneered as he mocked, “You still want to fight? I was merely careless yesterday, and today we have three people on our side. Do you think this sword strike of yours will be of any use?”

Rumble!

Boundless Genesis Qi erupted from his body as he spoke. Azure light converged towards his hand, faintly forming an extremely incomplete Genesis Rune. Although the rune’s completion rate was not high, it still provided a boost to Jin Teng’s Genesis Qi. In addition, it also made him more nimble and swift.

Lin Zheng and Wu Dao also brought out their Genesis Qi and incomplete wind spirit runes.

All three of them had witnessed the strength Zhou Yuan had displayed the day before. Since they were already in it together, there was no reason to not work together.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes remained calm as the sword orb slowly rose from his palm. Sword qi condensed into a long sword covered in azure scales. It gleamed coldly under the light as an invisible fire silently throbbed around it.

Bzz!

With a flick, a flash of sword light abruptly shot forth, accompanied by a clear sword cry.

The sword light pierced through the air, heading straight for Lin Zheng.

“Humph!”

Lin Zheng icily snorted. Three Divine Dwelling halos instantly appeared in front of him. He knew that he only needed to endure for a single breath for Jin Teng and Wu Dao to come to his aid. The three of them would definitely be able to defeat Zhou Yuan together.

Swis.h.!.+

The golden light was extremely swift, arriving in front of Lin Zheng in the blink of an eye. The sword ruthlessly thrust towards the three Divine Dwelling halos obstructing its way.

Ch!

A faint sound was heard as sword light swept past, and Lin Zheng’s pupils violently shrank. To his horror, the three Divine Dwelling halos he had poured all of his power into were instantly pierced through.

Expression changing drastically, Lin Zheng involuntarily cried out, “How can this be?!”

Having learnt from Jin Teng’s mistake, Lin Zheng had poured all of his power into his defence, and he had even used his incomplete wind spirit rune to further strengthen his defence. How had it been instantly torn apart?

Swis.h.!.+

The sword light naturally did not wait for him to get over his shock. He immediately felt an intense pain in his right arm, and blood spurted out. His entire arm had been severed.

AHH!

Lin Zheng howled in pain.

Jin Teng’s and Wu Dao’s expressions changed drastically. They had not expected that Lin Zheng would lose an arm after a single exchange!

“His sword orb has become even more formidable!” Jin Teng cried out in shock. Only now did he realize that the sword light from Zhou Yuan was somewhat different than it was the day before. He could faintly feel a deadly aura pulsing from it that seemed to be capable of cutting even s.p.a.ce itself.

It was obviously a whole lot stronger than it was the day before.

Although Jin Teng had been defeated by a single sword strike from Zhou Yuan the day before, he could feel that it had been Zhou Yuan’s strongest move. If he had used all of his strength back then, he may have been able to withstand it. Hence, they had come prepared the next day and were mentally prepared to use their strongest defences.

Who could have imagined that Lin Zheng would lose an arm after a single exchange? One must know that Lin Zheng was not weaker than Jin Teng.

“Could he have been holding back yesterday?” Jin Teng was in disbelief. After all, he refused to believe that Zhou Yuan could grow so much stronger after a single night.

Zhou Yuan’s expression remained unchanged, clearly paying no attention to Jin Teng’s shock. His strength had indeed soared over the past day. He had broken through during his cultivation session the night before, raising his Genesis Qi foundations by three million. Furthermore, his Spirit had then ascended to the long-desired Transformative stage in the wind district the next day. Hence, although there were no clear visible changes, his strength had grown tremendously.

Swis.h.!.+

After cutting Lin Zheng’s arm, the sword light flashed again, rus.h.i.+ng straight towards Wu Dao.

“Arrogance!”

Wu Dao’s expression darkened as he grasped his hands. A phoenix beak blade appeared within them. With a roar, he swung the blade, unleas.h.i.+ng a hundred-foot-long wave of blade light. The blade light sweeping past tore open deep crevices in the ground and crushed boulders to dust. The attack clearly possessed very alarming destructive power.

Clang!

Sword and blade light collided, creating a resounding clang.

As a shock wave unfurled, the phoenix blade in Wu Dao’s hands madly shook before being jerked out of his hands. His hands ruptured, spraying blood everywhere.

Sword light arrived like a giant python, leaving a spray of blood and another severed arm in its wake.

Wu Dao howled in misery as he grabbed the stump where his arm should have been.

Jin Teng’s charging figure immediately froze in its tracks. His complexion was deathly pale as he stared at Zhou Yuan in terror. He could not imagine how Zhou Yuan had defeated both Lin Zheng and Wu Dao in less than a dozen breaths...
