Chapter 109 Destroying the Shadow (2/2)

The swords arrived and smashed into the fire lightning wheel, astonishing Genesis Qi undulations exploding from every hit.

The scarlet-red wheel did its best to endure, but the golden swords were too many and too powerful. Several penetrated the wheel’s defences, stabbing into Zhou Qing’s body with a ‘squilch’.

A dozen breaths later, the golden swords finally disappeared.

Countless gazes were cast in Zhou Qing’s direction, only to see that his head was slightly lowered, his only arm tightly gripping the Nine Flames Spear. Golden swords dotted his body, fresh blood dripping from them.

Even with such serious injuries, his body remained as straight as a rod like the spear in his hand.

This scene shook everyone from both sides, making them incapable of speaking. Even the soldier’s of Great Qi were awed by his unretreating and fearless posture.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes suddenly reddened at this moment. He seemed to see the scene from over a dozen years ago when he had just been born, a figure standing in this same manner on the city walls, exhausting all of his power to stop king Wu.

Although he had ultimately failed, he had clearly done everything he could.

“He should soon be dead, right?” Qi Yuan’s eyes were grim as he stared at the extremely battered form of Zhou Qing. The former could feel the Genesis Qi around the latter gradually weakening.

Every gaze both inside and outside the city had converged on Zhou Qing.

Blood slowly dripped from the long spear. However, Zhou Qing’s shut eyes slowly cracked open at this moment. With a jerk of his body, the golden swords embedded in it were shattered.

His eyes seemed to become extremely dazzling at this moment, as if the many years of dirt that had obscured them was gradually being washed away.

The bloody holes on his body had also began to close.

He stared at the king Wu projection. Although he knew that it was merely an empty vessel endowed with power, he still slowly said, “The battle back then had indeed ended your victory.”

“And I had always believed that I lost to you.”

“But… I now suddenly realise that I did not lose…”

“Because I managed to protect my son’s life.”

“You may have won the lands of the Great Zhou Empire and the sacred dragon blessing… however, you will one day realise that all of these external things you have won is not even worth a single hair on my son.”

“He will definitely take everything back!”

“The battle between Zhou and Wu has not ended yet!”

The moment his final word faded, scarlet-red Genesis Qi suddenly exploded from within Zhou qing’s body like a volcano. His eyes became as glaring as the sun, while his Genesis Qi undulations began to rise!

Fourth layer Alpha-Origin stage!

Fifth layer Alpha-Origin stage!

In short span of several breaths, Zhou Qing’s cultivation had risen from the third layer to the fifth layer of the Alpha-Origin stage!

Horror immediately filled the faces of Qi Yuan, Zhao Tianlun and the rest.

“His majesty… has broken free of the shadow in his heart and his strength has gradually begun to recover!” Wei Canglan trembled as he watched, his eyes suddenly reddening.

Zhou Qing seemed to have cast off his many years of concession and tolerance, once again regaining his kingly dignity.

Just like many years ago during the golden age of the Great Zhou Empire, the king whose might made even the seas shudder.

Zhou Qing gripped his scarlet-red spear as powerful Genesis Qi erupted like a volcano. In the next instant, his figure disappeared as a streak of scarlet-red was painted across the horizon.

Speed so quick that no one could detect him.

Nine flaming pythons seemed to curl around the long scarlet-red spear while lightning danced at its tip.

Squerch!

Zhou Qing’s figure appeared behind the king Wu projection as a flash of scarlet pierced the golden figure’s chest. Back facing back, Zhou Qing’s hand closed around the Nine Flames Spear that landed within it.

The king Wu projection began to tremble violently at this moment. In the end, it gradually crumbled, transforming into golden light that filled the sky.

Bang!

The golden Imperial Decree in Qi Yuan’s hand exploded at this moment. Behind him, Zhao Tianlun and the rest were trembling, ashen-faced as they looked up at Zhou Qing in the sky.

They never imagined that the shadow that had trapped Zhou Qing for so many years would be broken by him today through the king Wu projection!

“It’s… truly over now.”

Despair began to rise in Qi Yuan’s eyes.
