Chapter 427 All Cards on the Table (1/2)

Rumble!

The surrounding Genesis Qi immediately began to churn violently when Yang Xuan stepped into the range of the boundary. Lightning and fire appeared, ultimate deadliness contained under their magnificent forms.

When this scene landed in the eyes of the countless watching onlookers, cries of alarm and surprise began to spread.

Only now did they realize that Zhou Yuan was not running, but feigning weakness to lure Yang Xuan into a boundary that had been set-up earlier.

“What a crafty kid!” The crowd could not help but click their tongues.

No one had expected Zhou Yuan to have made such preparations before hand. Such rich battle experience was truly praiseworthy.

Bai Li and the rest of the Cangxuan Sect disciples were also stunned for a moment, before their faces quickly turned a little red. They had genuinely believed Zhou Yuan was intending to escape earlier, and had felt somewhat disappointed inside. However, it was now clear that they had been too quick to jump to a conclusion, making them feel quite ashamed.

“A boundary huh?”

Yang Xuan stood amidst the lightning and fire, his expression completely unchanged. Ash-white Genesis Qi slowly swirled around his body as an astonishing pressure pulsed.

He lifted his head to look towards Zhou Yuan as he said in an emotionless voice, “You’ve really made me feel a whole new level of respect for you.”

He had originally thought nothing of Zhou Yuan, a mere fourth layer Alpha-Origin who should have been easily swatted away like a fly. However, Yang Xuan never imagined that this ‘fly’ would be able to push him to this extent.

In fact, he had even been forced to remove all of his seals, causing him to pay a tremendous price. After all, they had originally been the trump cards he had prepared for the twelve halls chief disciple selection.

But now, his seals had failed to reach their perfect state, naturally causing all of his efforts to go to waste.

“You’ve also been very surprising.” A sky full of lightning and fire was reflected in Zhou Yuan’s pupils as he shrugged helplessly. The truth was that he had likewise not taken Yang Xuan too seriously either.

After all, it was not like he had never fought a seventh layer Alpha-Origin practitioner before.

He had been under the impression that victory would come easily with the help of the Heavenly Yuan Brush, but who could have expected Yang Xuan to have so many trump cards… and had now even seemingly reached the eighth layer.

Yang Xuan lifted a hand as ash-white Genesis Qi gathered on his palm. He stirred the Genesis Qi with a finger as he said, “Stop this so-called resistance, these cheap tricks of yours won’t be able to change anything.”

Although lightning and fire were violently surging around him, there was basically no fear in his eyes.

In response to Yang Xuan’s indifference, Zhou Yuan merely smiled and said, “It wasn’t easy for me to set this up, I should at least give it a spin, right?”

His smile instantly receded a split second later, replaced by a solemn look. Zhou Yuan slapped his hands together, deciding that the time for words was now over.

“Heavenly Lightning and Mystical Fire Boundary!”

Rumble!

The brewing lightning and fire reached their peak in an instant. Under countless shocked gazes, they descended like a stream of fire that could cover the entire sky, bombarding towards the spot Yang Xuan was standing at.

Yang Xuan coldly watched the lightning and fire descend. With a stomp of his foot, ash-white Genesis Qi rose from the surface of his body, rapidly bellowing outwards like an icy fog.

“Corpse Bone Fog!”

Frost gradually began to grow from the ground beneath his feet.

Plop! Plop!

Fire and lightning rained down, fearlessly charging into the ash-white fog. The moment they touched the fog, however, lightning was instantly destroyed, and fire extinguished...

The ash-white fog contained a freezing coldness that was obviously very tyrannical.

However, there was still a lot more lightning and fire that endlessly rained down without showing any signs of weakening, but Yang Xuan’s Genesis Qi was also going strong, his ash-white fog appearing equally inexhaustible.

As such, the lightning and fire was continuously neutralized by the freezing coldness. In contrast, the nearby ground was bombarded full of holes, making it look like an extremely messy sight.

Numerous gazes anxiously watched the ferocious clash. Although there were no loud booming sounds, everyone knew how dangerous such a clash was. It was clear that neither Zhou Yuan nor Yang Xuan was holding anything back.
