Chapter 935 Celestial Shadow Tricks the Five Geniuses (1/2)

Boom!

As the light tower pressed down, the ground quaked, and a relieved, undisguisable smile came onto Lu Hai’s and the others’ faces.

“That Zhou Yuan is really stupid!” A super dark horse sneered.

“He isn’t stupid—just too arrogant. He never thought about the consequences of falling into the Five Spirits Universe Tower. There are five seals in the tower, and once someone falls inside, the five seals will adhere to their body, and at least half their Genesis Qi foundation will be obstructed!”

“Even if we’re missing one person and the effect of the seal can’t be brought to its perfect state, it can still turn Zhou Yuan from a tiger to a cat!”

The other three people burst into laughter. The Five Spirits Universe Tower was the strongest trump card that they had prepared. Let alone Zhou Yuan, even Xu Ming or Yuan Kun wouldn’t know what to do if they were to fall into the tower.

The battle could be said to have ended when Zhou Yuan fell into the tower.

“Zhou Yuan is indeed capable. This ultimate move was reserved for the super heaven prides of the other eight regions when we entered the Fallen Abyss, but he had forced us to bring out this trump card,” Lu Hai said.

Thinking of the ability that Zhou Yuan had revealed when he had killed the Venomous Dragon Palace’s dark horse in seconds, Lu Hai couldn’t help feeling a chill in his heart. Zhou Yuan had concealed his strength too well. The heaven prides of the nine regions are indeed amazing. Even the deteriorating Tianyuan Region has someone so powerful.

But, fortunately for them, Zhou Yuan was in their hands in the end.

The people locked in a fierce battle in the mountains also noticed that the tower had swallowed Zhou Yuan. Lu Xiao’s, Mu Liu’s, Han Yuan’s and Ye Bingling’s hearts sank. Although they didn’t know what the light tower was, they could guess that it was a trump card of Lu Hai and the others.

Moreover, Zhou Yuan’s situation didn’t look good!

“Go help him!” Ye Bingling sent a signal to Lu Xiao and others.

Lu Xiao’s expression was cloudy, and his eyes were flickering, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and sped towards the mountain summit.

Although Lu Hai sensed Lu Xiao’s movements, he didn’t seem to care, and he s.h.i.+fted his gaze to the light tower, scrunching his brows in puzzlement. “Why is the light tower so quiet?”

A surprised look crossed the other three people’s faces. From their experience, the Genesis Qi within the light tower should be pulsing wildly once someone fell inside. The seals should also be activated, but why was it so strangely quiet?

Lu Hai’s eyes flashed, and he felt an uneasy feeling in his chest. He immediately folded both hands in a hand seal.

The light tower in the distance trembled and gradually grew transparent, revealing the inside of the tower.

But after one glance, they felt a chill down their spine.

They didn’t see anyone in the light tower!

“Zhou Yuan isn’t suppressed inside!” Lu Hai felt his scalp go numb, and his voice had become sharper.

The expressions of the other three changed drastically. They clearly witnessed Zhou Yuan being crushed and forced inside, so why was there no one inside it? If he wasn’t in the tower, where else would he be?!

“Be on the alert!” Lu Hai roared, the uneasiness in his heart almost drowning him.

As his voice faded, the Genesis Qi within their body rushed forth.

Lu Hai’s shadow suddenly rippled, and a figure floated out silently like a ghost. Four beams of sword light rapidly took shape, stopping inches from the back of the heads of Lu Hai and the others.

The sword light dimmed, but Lu Hai and the others stiffened in fear and stood rooted to the spot. They felt a tingle at the back of their heads, and the smell of death shrouded them. Such sensations made them know that the slightest movement of Genesis Qi within their body would trigger the sword light to cut their heads off without hesitation.

Beads of cold sweat gathered on Lu Hai’s forehead. He glanced back and saw Zhou Yuan staring at them with a smile.

“Zhou—Zhou Yuan!” Lu Hai’s brows were trembling, and his voice sounded pained. “Why are you here?”

It was obvious that Zhou Yuan had escaped with an incredibly strange bodywork technique the moment the light tower pressed down. Even Lu Hai and the others hadn’t noticed that he was standing silently behind them.
