Chapter 1249 Show of Might (1/2)

The enormous crack on the ground was akin to a deep abyss, causing the eyelids of several onlookers to jump. Reverence flooded their eyes when they looked back at the giant creature in the sky.

An Alpha sacred beast’s pressure was exceptionally effective against Genesis Beasts like them.

Even experts of the same cultivation level would be slightly suppressed by the pressure.

Although Jiang Ba had always maintained a low-profile, everyone knew that he was the Mystic Dragon Clan team’s strongest expert, stronger than even Jiang Hongying. After all, he was a pseudo Law Domain expert.

However, Jiang Ba had clearly lost out in the earlier exchange with Tuntun. Evidently, lord Ancestral Taotie’s battle power was even greater than his own.

On the ground, Jiang Ba’s expression was somewhat gloomy, but his eyes were clearly dominated by a look of fear and wariness. Although he had not dared to underestimate Tuntun, he had felt that he should not lose to it. However, the earlier clash taught him that he had still underestimated an Alpha sacred beast’s power.

Although Tutun had yet to fully awaken, it was still powerful without equal.

The Mystic Dragon Clan experts finally returned to their senses and hurriedly landed, crowding around behind Jian Ba as they cautiously stared at Tuntun.

Jin Zhong and the others also swiftly moved forward to stand behind Tuntun and glare at their enemies.

Zhou Yuan had defeated Jiang Hongying, and now Tuntun had forced Jiang Ba back. These events were undoubtedly a tremendous boost to their morale.

Below, Zhou Yuan raised his brows at this scene. That was likely Tuntun’s true power earlier. It was indeed rather terrifying and according to his estimates, Tuntun should be at the apex level even among these pseudo Law Domain experts.

“Not bad.” He gave a thumbs up to Tuntun.

However, Tuntun merely snorted white mist from its nostrils and proudly raised its head.

Although Jiang Hongying had repeatedly provoked Zhou Yuan earlier, Tuntun felt that Zhou Yuan could deal with her. Moreover, it would naturally not interfere in a fair fight. However, Jiang Ba had attacked in anger due to Jiang Hongying’s defeat, an act which obviously went against the rules. Did they think that lord Tuntun was a pushover?

Zhou Yuan’s gaze shifted towards the somewhat miserable figure of Jiang Ba as he grinned, “It seems that the Mystic Dragon Clan do not understand the meaning of rules.”

Although he was smiling, his eyes were rather cold. If Tuntun had not moved in time earlier, he most likely would have been caught off guard by the attack.

Jian Ba’s expression turned stormy. “You were too brutal!”

Zhou Yuan smiled faintly. “Do you guys not spill blood in Wanshou Heaven? What touching mercy and camaraderie.”

His words were filled with mockery.

The gazes of the other experts present flashed as they cast odds looks at Jiang Ba. Wanshou Heaven was the most bloody and savage among the heavens. After all, Genesis Beasts loved to fight. In a situation like this, let alone seeing some blood, even being killed was common.

Although Jiang Hongying had been hacked a few times by Zhou Yuan and sustained substantial injuries, the Mystic Dragon Clan’s bodies were strong and should recover after some time. Hence, Jiang Ba’s reason was honestly rather laughable.

It would perhaps be more truthful to say Jiang Ba felt that Zhou Yuan’s victory over Jiang Hongying had sullied the Mystic Dragon Clan’s dignity. Hence, he intended to swiftly subdue Zhou Yuan as punishment.

Jiang Ba likewise sensed the amused gazes looking at him, causing his face to twitch. He knew that he could no longer cleanly settle this matter. He could only maintain his silence as he forced down the anger in his heart.

He instructed, “Bring Hongying back.”

Several Mystic Dragon Clan experts flew towards the mountain range. They shivered when they saw the four sinister wounds on the dragon lying in a pool of its own blood, before hurriedly pouring their Genesis Qi into its body.

Genesis Qi light erupted as Jiang Hongying returned to human form.

However, her complexion was deathly pale and blood continuously dripped from her body.

The Mystic Dragon Clan experts supported her as they returned to Jiang Ba.

The corners of Jiang Ba’s eyes twitched a little at Jiang Hongying’s appearance, anger rising within them.

He worriedly asked, “How do you feel?”

Jiang Hongying gritted her teeth and shook her head. Her condition was very bad. The four sword lights had not only slashed her but sharp sword qi was still wreaking havoc in her body, causing her intense pain.

“Friends of the Mystic Dragon Clan, shouldn’t we discuss what’s next?” Zhou Yuan’s chuckle suddenly rang out.

Jiang Ba’s expression turned rigid. He of course knew what Zhou Yuan was referring to: the Ancestral Spirit Fruit wager.

However, were they really going to hand over the seven hardfought Ancestral Spirit Fruit? Or should they run?
