Chapter 757 Zhou Yuan takes action
In the chaotic campsite, the moment Zhou Yuan suddenly appeared, the battles seemed to have halted, and everybody stared at Zhou Yuan in astonishment and disbelief.
In particular, Zhao Yue and Mu Chao reacted as though they had seen a ghost.
They never would have thought that when Yi Qiushui was in critical danger, the person whom they had always thought of as a joke would save her.
âHow is this possible?â Mu Chao couldnât help muttering, his face paling.
Zhao Yue was equally shocked, and she found it incredibly hard to believe the scene in front of her. But she had to believe it because she clearly witnessed Zhou Yuan forcibly receive Xu Fengâs fierce fist strike.
That was enough to show that Zhou Yuan possessed extraordinary strength.
They seemed to have made an error of judgementâŠ.Was Zhou Yuan a hidden master?
Compared with their disbelief, Yi Qiushui, as a person directly involved, seemed much calmer. But from her pair of flickering eyes, one could still see the shock in her heart.
When she heard Zhou Yuanâs mocking laughter, her fair cheeks flushed with embarra.s.sment. âMy vision isnât good since I have failed to recognise a master. I hope brother Zhou Yuan forgives me.â
Instead of being ashamed of being fooled, she frankly admitted her mistake and apologised.
Zhou Yuan suddenly smiled. âWhat masterâŠ? Is there a master thatâs shameless enough to ask for treasured items?â
Yi Qiushui said seriously, âA great man doesnât bother about trifles.â
Iâve never seen you treat me like a man before. He naturally didnât say this out loud. After all, Yi Qiushuiâs att.i.tude towards him previously was already very friendly.
While the two were talking, Xu Feng finally recovered from his shock. His icy cold eyes locked onto Zhou Yuan as he grunted, âWho dares to interfere with my business!â
âYou little tras.h.!.+â Qiu Ji on the other hand glowered at Zhou Yuan. He evidently recognised him as the murderer who fell from the sky and killed Qiu Yang.
âXu Feng, kill him. He killed the young master!â Qiu Ji gave an order to Xu Feng.
Xu Fengâs face was expressionless as he said, âSince he chose to block my path, he naturally wonât live past today.â
He stared at Zhou Yuan with a ferocious look. âBoy, you think you can play the role of hero in front of me? Youâve found the wrong person to mess with!â
The three Divine Dwelling halos behind him violently vibrated, and a torrent of powerful Genesis Qi roared out like an angry python, causing the void to tremble as it headed directly for Zhou Yuan.
âZhou Yuan, letâs join forces!â Yi Qiushui suggested.
But Zhou Yuan remained calm and composed. He flicked his sleeve and gently pushed Yi Qiushui back with a soft force of wind. âYou can stabilise the situation and leave him to me.â
His body trembled as golden Genesis Qi roared up, swiftly forming two Divine Dwelling halos behind him. But when the many people saw the halos, they were all stunned.
They found that Zhou Yuanâs Divine Dwelling halos were grey without the slightest speck of color!
Even Yi Qiushui stared at him in astonishment. It was evidently the first time she had seen someoneâs Divine Dwelling halos with such an appearance. However, Zhou Yuanâs strength erupted at that moment.
The intermediate Divine Dwelling stage.
âIt turns out that you are only in the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage.â Mu Chao couldnât help but breathe out a sigh of relief. Although Zhou Yuanâs Divine Dwelling halos were incredibly strange, he was only at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage, which was a level similar to his.
However, just as he was pondering this, the two grey Divine Dwelling halos behind Zhou Yuan vibrated and suddenly pulsed out golden Genesis Qi.
The two torrents of Genesis Qi collided.
Violent shock waves broke out, disintegrating the nearby tents into powder that then whirled into the sky. Some people who were close by spurted out jets of blood and were blasted away.
Mu Chao and Zhao Yue also retreated dozens of steps.
Only Yi Qiushuiâs situation was a little better; she only drew back a few steps. She stared at Zhou Yuanâs figure in astonishment because she found that, unexpectedly, he still wasnât at a disadvantage even after colliding with Xu Fengâs Genesis Qi.
Based on his Genesis Qi foundation, he didnât seem any weaker than Xu Feng.
But how was that possible?
Even she, who was at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage and possessed eight Divine Dwellings, was weaker than Xu Feng in terms of Genesis Qi foundation.
Zhao Yue and Mu Chao had even more disbelief.
Even Xu Fengâs pupils rapidly shrank. This time, when he looked at Zhou Yuan again, his eyes became solemn, and he asked, âWho are you?â
The person before him was only at the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage, but his Genesis Qi foundation was in no way weaker than his own advanced Divine Dwelling stage. Although he had only entered the advanced stage two months ago, he was still one level higher than Zhou Yuan.
According to Xu Fengâs understanding, it was rare to find someone among the young generation of the entire Tianyuan Region who could achieve that kind of Genesis Qi foundation in the intermediate Divine Dwelling stage. Moreover, those people had to possess an incredible background.
He worried that Zhou Yuan was one of them.
âXu Feng, heâs from another heaven!â Qiu Ji hurriedly roared the moment he recovered from the shock of Zhou Yuanâs Genesis Qi foundation.
He was clearly worried that Xu Feng would back down, causing their plan to fail.
âAnother heaven?â Xu Fengâs slightly frowned eyebrows slowly relaxed. This meant Zhou Yuan wasnât one of those heaven prides with an important background.
âMany people have died in my hands over the years, but never a genius of your level...â
Xu Fengâs eyes grew fierce, vicious tendencies rising from his body. His iron fists collided, and a metallic clank rang in everybodyâs ears. A black l.u.s.ter flashed over the surface of his body.
âMysterious Iron Technique!â
In a short period of time, Xu Feng had turned into a little black giant. His body seemed to be made of black iron, and was indestructible.
Mu Chao, Zhao Yue and the others couldnât help drawing back when they felt the oppressive aura being released from Xu Fengâs body. It was only then that they understood that the evil bandit who had rampaged around Little Xuanzhou for so many years was indeed incredibly remarkable.
âZhou Yuan, be careful! He cultivates bodily strength, and his fighting ability is very strong!â Yi Qiushui quickly reminded him.
âBoy, thereâs still time to run away. Otherwise, it will be too late when I blow your head off.â Xu Fengâs voice was full of malice and killing intent.
However, in the face of Xu Fengâs frightening, imposing manner, Zhou Yuan simply grinned. He twisted his neck and remarked, âIt seems that you have wasted all your years licking blood from blades...
âYou donât have any powers of discernment whatsoever.â
He slowly stepped out with his left foot and performed a hand seal with one hand.
His bones had become a little rusty after his period of recovery; therefore, he was really looking forward to his first battle in Hunyuan Heaven.
The moment Zhou Yuan completed his seal, the blood in his body suddenly bubbled.
Yi Qiushui and the others were then astonished to find that Zhou Yuanâs skin was glowing with a dazzling jade light and that his body was slowly releasing an astonis.h.i.+ng, oppressive aura.
That kind of oppression made even Yi Qiushui feel her heart palpitate.
She bit her red lips as she peered at the young figure in front of her. At this moment, he had undoubtedly become a little mysterious in her eyes.
