Chapter 424 Zhou Yuan’s Prowess (2/2)

“This kid…”

His old face filled with astonishment as he watched Zhou Yuan shatter powerful Genesis Qi light pillar after pillar. The elder would never have imagined that when it seemed as if all hope was lost, the one who would step forward to save them, would be the same person he had sent away from the core region at the very beginning...

“How is he actually so powerful?” Elder Wu could not help but mutter. Zhou Yuan was clearly only at the fourth layer Alpha-Origin stage, and yet he was somehow able to exchange blow after blow with Yang Xuan.

After observing for a long time, his gaze ultimately focused on the black brush in Zhou Yuan’s hands.

“No wonder…”

It had obviously realized something.

However, elder Wu did not care how Zhou Yuan had done it, because only result mattered. As such, a sliver of expectation began to appear in the elder’s gaze as he continued to watch Zhou Yuan’s figure.

The only thing he could do now was hope for the best, and pray that Zhou Yuan would succeed in stopping Yang Xuan.

Elder Wu did not expect Zhou Yuan to defeat Yang Xuan, but hoped he could at least hold off the latter as long as possible. This would create some breathing room for the others, and prevent them from being put into an even more miserable situation.

“Kid… you gotta do your best. If you managed to stall Yang Xuan long enough, I’ll give you an excellent evaluation after this mission is over!”

...

Bang! Bang!

Torrent after torrent of ash-white Genesis Qi continued to descend from the sky. Each powerful blast packed with enough destructive energy to level an entire mountain.

However, Zhou Yuan’s figure continued to zip about amongst them, torrent after torrent of Genesis Qi scattering with each point of the black brush, making it appear as easy as cutting through butter with a hot knife.

Yang Xuan’s expression grew stormier and stormier.

Even Bai Li and Qin Hai together had been unable to withstand this same barrage of Genesis Qi attacks earlier. And yet, they seemed to pose no threat towards Zhou Yuan.

“Is it that black brush…” His dark gaze locked onto the mysterious mottled black brush in Zhou Yuan’s hands.

Bang!

Another blast of Genesis Qi was pierced. Iciness flashed in Zhou Yuan’s eyes as his figure instantly etherealized, seemingly teleporting as he appeared behind Yang Xuan like a phantom.

“Genesis Breaker!”

A mysterious light surfaced on the pitch-black brush tip, rippling even space itself as it passed through. The sharp tip thrust towards a fatal spot on Yang Xuan’s back at an extremely crafty angle.

Pah!

Yang Xuan’s palms slapped together as ash-white Genesis Qi surged out, creating several layers of thick Genesis Qi defenses around his body.

Pchla!

However, the brush tip that pulsed with black light quickly swept past, tearing through each layer as if they were thin pieces of paper.

“Now!”

Sharpness gathered in Zhou Yuan’s eyes as he jerked his fist, causing the brush tip to transform into a streak of black aimed straight at Yang Xuan’s fatal spot.

Gasp after gasp sounded in the area. Zhou Yuan had finally found a chance after waiting for so long, and clearly planned on seriously injuring Yang Xuan with this strike.

Bai Li, Qin Hai and the rest of the Cangxuan Sect disciples had eyes wide open.

Whoo!

The brush tip swept past.

However, a split second before it could pierce Yang Xuan’s body, an ash-white shadow suddenly flew over and collided against the brush tip.

Clang!

Sparks flew in all directions.

Berserk Genesis Qi shockwaves erupted, scattering even the nearby clouds.

Zhou Yuan’s pupils shrank slightly at this moment.

The jolt from the brush tip caused a feeling of pain to be transmitted from his hands. His unstoppable momentum had finally been stopped...

He raised his eyes, looking towards the end of the brush tip, where a bone whip was blocking it.

The bone whip had a deathly pale sheen, and strange patterns had been carved on along its body. Every slight movement seemed cause a piercing shriek to be emitted from it.

The surrounding Genesis Qi surged towards the bone whip.

With the bone whip in hand, Yang Xuan’s aura began to raise to an alarming level.

He lifted his head at this moment, sending a death glare towards the nearby Zhou Yuan as an eerily sinister smile appeared from the corners of his mouth.

“A Heaven Genesis Weapon… did you think that I didn’t have one?!”
