Chapter 1363 Punishment (1/2)

The purple-gold dragon claw slowly dissipated, leaving the extremely glaring pit on the ground. The entire battlefield was silent, emotions churning violently in everyone’s hearts as they dazedly stared at this scene.

No one had expected Zhou Yuan to actually kill Xu Beiyan.

That was a top-tier third stage Law Domain expert. Moreover, he had three Saint expert masters!

Given his background, who would dare to take his life?!

Gaze after gaze looked towards Zhou Yuan with mixed feelings though they all shared a look of admiration.

At the end of the today, it was Xu Beiyan who had committed such a vile act. In contrast, Zhou Yuan had righteously smited Xu Beiyan for the sake of his dead team members despite the watching Saint experts. His courage and character had earned their genuine respect.

After all, his dead teammates’ status and strength were a far cry from Xu Beiyan’s. If there was a choice between the two parties, there would certainly be no lack of people who would favor Xu Beiyan.

Rather than avenging a few dead people, it would obviously be much more beneficial to create good relations with a heaven pride like Xu Beiyan.

Everyone did understand, however, that Zhou Yuan’s killing intent had mainly been roused because Xu Beiyan had tried to end him in secret. Regardless, no one could deny Zhou Yuan’s hot-bloodedness and daringness.

This young man’s spirit could pierce the heavens.

Perhaps, this might also be the reason why he could alway boldly forge ahead...

When Zhou Yuan killed Xu Beiyan, the Saint experts outside the Stone Dragon Secret Domain were briefly stunned.

It was likely that they had never seen someone so bold.

Prime sovereign Jin Luo had already spoken, but Zhou Yuan had still taken the chance to end Xu Beiyan’s life.

Boom!

While they were dazed, an almighty power suddenly erupted, causing the stars to tremble. The Saint experts looked over, only to find that it was Lu Liu. His complexion was ashen and it seemed as if fire was spouting from his eyes.

“Good! Good!” Lu Liu’s body shook with anger as a torrential aura surged from him. His gaze pierced through the space between them and locked onto Zhou Yuan’s figure, fire spewing from his eyes as if seeking to incinerate the latter.

“Lu Liu, what do you think you’re doing?” a low voice sounded. Cang Yuan’s sharp gaze had also locked onto Lu Liu as Saint light converged above his shoulders. The light Saint condensed into two spinning Saint lotuses that seemed to each contain an entire world within them.

“What am I doing?!” Lu Liu roared, “Cang Yuan, weren’t you watching earlier?! He dared to kill my disciple right before my eyes!”

Cang Yuan’s expression darkened. “What were you doing when your disciple tried to secretly kill Zhou Yuan in front of me?”

Lu Liu’s presence wavered for a moment before he gritted his teeth and retorted, “But Zhou Yuan didn’t die, right?! Even Xu Beiyan’s body and Spirit were utterly destroyed by him!”

“He didn’t die because he was not destined to. Xu Beiyan died because of his despicableness. He deserved everything.” Cang Yuan’s cold voice rang out. Everyone could tell that anger was rising within him. After all, if not for Zhou Yuan’s luck and tenacity, he would have really been killed because of Xu Beiyan.

“You!” Lu Liu was enraged. “Even if Xu Beiyan was guilty, he should be handed over to the Omega Shrine to decide his punishment. How dare a mere Law Domain expert take matters into his own hands? Moreover, prime sovereign Jin Luo had already given the order to hand Xu Beiyan over, but Zhou Yuan ignored the Saint order and insisted on murdering my disciple. Isn’t this showing complete disregard for the Omega Shrine?!”

“Old bat Lu Liu, you are still so vicious after so many years.” Cang Yuan indifferently said, “Xu Beiyan treachery not only caused Zhou Yuan to be seriously injured, but also forced him to witness the tragic deaths of the team members he was supposed to protect. He has always been a hot-blooded youth that has fought countless battles for the all-heavens over the years, which I believe everyone is well aware of. Hence, it is wishful thinking that your slander will change anyone’s opinion.”
