Chapter 859 Eliminating Wang Chen (2/2)

It was during this brief moment that Zhou Yuan and his army of several thousand Spirits caught up.

Cold sweat appeared on Wang Chen’s forehead.

“Deputy pavilion master Wang Chen, it seems that you were still too careless.” Zhou Yuan displayed a slight smile.

He wasted no time as he extended his hand and gave a slight wave.

“Destroy him!”

Rumble!

Several thousand blasts of Spirit power rushed out, blasting towards Wang Chen’s group like a flood. With such an absolute advantage, there was no need for any smart tactics. They could easily steamroll Wang Chen’s group with sheer power.

Wang Chen’s scalp turned numb as he sensed the approaching flood, and he hurriedly ordered the group to fight back.

Boom!

The Spirit power of both parties collided, resulting in a loud boom.

Amidst the noise, the thousand Spirits on Wang Chen’s side screamed miserably. Their Spirits rapidly began to fade, turning into beams of light that shot into the sky and were sent out of the Heaven Flame Cauldron through its protective mechanism.

After several waves of attacks, only a few dozen Spirits remained. They looked exceptionally miserable.

Wang Chen tightly gritted his teeth with a gloomy expression.

“Don’t be too happy Zhou Yuan. You’ll be crying when the Fire Pavilion’s main force arrives!”

Zhou Yuan was unfazed. He stared at Wang Chen for a long time before he suddenly said, “You’re not just here to tail us, right? Lu Xiao intentionally sent you guys here to make us think that the Fire Pavilion will be coming after us soon. Is this a plan to keep me here?”

Wang Chen’s pupils shrank slightly.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed. “What is Lu Xiao scheming?”

Wang Chen merely let out an icy chuckle and did not reply.

Zhou Yuan was silent for a moment before he slowly said, “Your Fire Pavilion joined forces with the Mountain Pavilion to eliminate the Forest Pavilion? After the Forest Pavilion is dealt with, you guys will then turn your sights towards the Wind Pavilion, right?”

Wang Chen’s heart shook as astonishment surfaced in his eyes.

Zhou Yuan immediately understood everything as his expression turned grave. He never imagined that Lu Xiao would be so cautious. Even against the much weaker Wind Pavilion, instead of attacking directly, Lu Xiao had chosen to join forces with the Mountain Pavilion to first finish off the Forest Pavilion.

Once the Forest Pavilion was eliminated, the united forces of the Fire Pavilion and the Mountain Pavilion would have the absolute advantage. Zhou Yuan would not be able to make a comeback no matter what trump cards he had.

After losing in their previous bout, Lu Xiao had become so prudent. He was basically a composed old dog.

He had sent Wang Chen to keep an eye on the Wind Pavilion in hopes of stalling them. After all, anyone would believe that the Fire Pavilion’s main force would soon arrive with this scouting group constantly watching their movements. Who could have expected Lu Xiao to have instead given up on attacking the Wind Pavilion first so that he could direct his attention to the Forest Pavilion?

Grave expressions emerged on the faces of Yi Qiushui, Ye Bingling and the others. They also understood that once the Forest Pavilion was eliminated, it would be impossible for the Wind Pavilion to resist the combined might of the Fire Pavilion and the Mountain Pavilion.

Upon realizing that Zhou Yuan had seen through their plan, Wang Chen let out a mocking laugh. “Zhou Yuan, you’ve underestimated pavilion master Lu Xiao. Only defeat awaits you once our Fire Pavilion and the Mountain Pavilion finishes off the Forest Pavilion!”

Zhou Yuan’s expression was unmoved. Invisible Spirit fire gathered in his palm before being sent forth with a flick. The Spirit fire quickly enveloped Wang Chan and the remaining few dozen Spirits.

As Spirit fire burned, the Spirits of Wang Chen and the others rapidly faded.

“Zhou Yuan, your Wind Pavilion will lose for sure!” howled Wang Chen.

A split second later, his Spirit turned into a beam of fiery light as it dashed into the sky and disappeared.

Zhou Yuan’s expression was indifferent as his gaze swivelled around. Several thousand Wind Pavilion members stared at him, awaiting his command. He showed no hesitation as he waved his hand and roared, “Stop the collecting of Heavenly Sun Fire.

“We will immediately rush to rescue the Forest Pavilion and eliminate both the Fire and Mountain Pavilions!”

As his voice rang out, his Spirit had already shot off, several thousand Spirits closely following behind him.
