Chapter 397 Great Golden Bell (1/2)
Numerous figures descended from the sky, gathering around the arena outside the side hall. All of them were casting peculiar gazes at the two figures facing each other in the arena.
These two individuals were not unfamiliar to everyone. Wang Lei was one of the most veteran purple sash disciples from Sword Cometh Peak, someone whose fame exceeded even that of Xu Yan. As for Zhou Yuan, he may only be a newly promoted purple sash disciple, but he had displayed his astonishing abilities time and time again for the past half a year, leading him to become known as the top disciple of the newest generation. Consequently, this also made him one of the more famous figures in the sect.
The fight between these two was naturally going to be quite interesting.
Under the attention from the crowd, Wang Lei wore a relaxed expression. He looked at Zhou Yuan with a carefree grin and said, “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, I know that you are very talented. However, Rome wasn’t built in a day, and it isn’t wise for you to bite off more than you can chew.”
Zhou Yuan chuckled and replied, “Please go ahead and guide me senior brother Wang Lei.”
Wang Lei shook his head in pity as he said, “I was originally hoping to spare you the humiliation. However, you insist on doing things the hard way, don’t blame this senior brother for bullying a junior!”
A fierce look flashed across his eyes.
Boom!
In the next instant, majestic Genesis Qi rose from his head like a thousand foot tall column of smoke. Waves of powerful Genesis Qi pressure quickly spread across the entire area, causing even space itself to tremble faintly.
Wang Lei instantly revealed the amazing depths of his strong Genesis Qi foundations. He was indeed a tier above Xu Yan.
The numerous observers around the arena let out low gasps of surprise.
Wang Lei slowly extended his hand. It appeared slightly longer than the norm, and was a little tanned. One could just barely see a lightning glow on his palm that gave off a powerful and menacing sensation.
Wang Lei lowered his voice and said, “Junior brother Zhou Yuan, since we agreed to settle this in one attack, I will not be holding back… it may be quite painful for you after receiving my palm strike.”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly. He placed his hands together, as the Genesis Qi within his body began to move.
A mocking smile appeared from the corners of Wang Lei’s mouth upon seeing this. Genesis Qi within his body swiftly began to circulate as Genesis Qi rapidly gathered on his palm. In the end, cackling lightning bolts began to emerge.
Extremely berserk undulations pulsed from his hand.
The lightning Genesis Qi spread, turning Wang Lei’s entire arm into a lightning sword. The sword tip was fused with his palm, and looked both sharp and savage.
The ground beneath Wang Lei’s feet also began to crack and crumble.
The expressions of the disciples outside the arena changed slightly at this sight.
“It’s Sword Cometh Peak’s Lightning Sword Palm!”
“It’s said that the Lightning Sword Palm technique is well known for its unyielding and forceful nature in Sword Cometh Peak. However, though it boasts overwhelming attack power, it consumes a large amount of Genesis Qi. Even a seventh layer Alpha-Origin practitioner will not be able to use twice in succession.”
“Wang Lei is too cunning. This so-called one move wager… isn’t this obviously making use of the fact that he will be out of stamina after using the Lightning Sword Palm?”
“It’s a famous ‘All-Out’ technique… either he destroys his opponent in one move, or he loses the battle because of Genesis Qi depletion.”
“……”
Numerous disciples were talking among themselves. They finally understood why Wang Lei had proposed this one move wager.
On the steps, the frostiness on Li Qingchan’s face intensified. She turned towards Zhao Zhu and sneered, “So this was your plan all along.”
She had previously thought that Wang Lei had proposed the one move challenge due to arrogance, and hopes to use this opportunity to help Zhou Yuan slip through. However, it was now obvious that it was a trap set by Zhao Zhu and Wang Lei.
Based on Wang Lei’s current plan of attack, any opponent would be finished off in a single move.
With this move, he would either gained an absolute advantage or be forced into a severe disadvantage.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Zhu smiled faintly and said, “Senior sister Li, there is no way the disciples from Sacred Palace and the other factions will tell us what their battle strategies are going to be.”
Beside Li Qingchan, Bai Li gazed at intimidating Wang Lei, before she shook her head. Zhou Yuan already had such a tough time against Xu Yan previously. How could he possibly handle such an overwhelming brute force attack from Wang Lei?
The fight was basically over the moment Wang Lei revealed the Lightning Sword Palm.
Oh well, at least Zhou Yuan would no longer so shamelessly cling onto that spot on the team out of pride once he lost. In that case, the team would be relieved of a burden.
Boom!
As various thoughts ran through the minds of the crowd, the sound of thunder suddenly boomed across the arena. Wang Lei let out a hearty laugh, before his figure was sent soaring into the sky with a stomp, as he looked down upon Zhou Yuan from above.
Lightning flickered on his palm as he slowly lifted it, while his sharp and icy gaze locked onto Zhou Yuan.
“Lightning Sword Palm!”
Wang Lei swung his palm the instant he roared. Thunder boomed loudly in the sky, as a resplendent lightning glow poured out from his palm.
Pch!
A hundred feet large lightning palm descended from the sky with a boom.
Moreover, it appeared as though sword shadows were lurking within the attack.
Deadly, overwhelming and brutal.
Even before the palm landed, cracks had already begun to grow on the arena below.
In the arena, Zhou Yuan lifted his head. Winds violently whipped up his clothes, causing them to flap wildly with the wind. His gazed upon the lightning palm whose reflection was rapidly growing in his eyes, as he took in a deep breath.
