“Chief disciple Zhou Yuan?!”
They clearly had not expected that Zhou Yuan would be the first to rush to their aid.
“Chief disciple?”
When Ning Mo heard their cries of surprise, his dark gaze immediately turned towards the young figure wielding a mottled black brush. “Your Cangxuan Sect is really growing more and more useless. I can’t believe that even a seventh layer Alpha-Origin is able to become a chief disciple.”
Disdain rose from the corners of his mouth.
“Someone with such strength can’t even qualify to become a chief disciple in any of the first class factions of the Shengzhou Continent.”
Ning Mo stared at Zhou Yuan, chilling murder oozing from the former’s voice as he flatly said, “Kid, I may show a little mercy if you kneel down on and admit your mistake. You’ll only receive the small punishment of having your tongue cut off.”
In the distance, the various watching factions began to whisper amongst themselves.
“That kid is also a chief disciple of the Cangxuan Sect?”
“How can a Cangxuan Sect chief disciple be so weak?”
“But Jin Zhang clearly called him chief disciple…”
“I don’t know what’s going on, but it doesn’t matter. Although the kid’s courage is commendable, that was way too stupid of him. To think that he dared to be so rude to Ning Mo. He’ll surely pay a terrible price today.”
“…”
In their eyes, the merely seventh layer Zhou Yuan was basically courting death in this situation.
Zhou Yuan seemed to chuckle under the many watching eyes. He ignored Ning Mo, and instead looked towards Jin Zhang and the others in the valley. “Are you guys okay?”
Jin Zhang shook his head. “Zhou Yuan, did you come alone?”
“The others will soon arrive. I went ahead of them.” Answered Zhou Yuan. He was worried that Jin Zhang’s side would not be able to endure long enough, and had thus increased his speed. From the looks of it, he had appeared just in time.
Jin Zhang nodded in acknowledgement and waved his brush. Spirit power surged between his brows as he rose into the air with the intent of helping Zhou Yuan.
Rumble!
However, his figure had barely begun to move when a violent force suddenly whizzed down from the sky, causing the land to crack. Genesis Runes swiftly flowed from Jin Zhang’s brush, transforming into circles of light.
Thud thud!
The light circles quickly shattered, but the brief respite allowed Jin Zhang’s figure to drift backwards. He raised his head and gazed at the sky with a grave expression, where a tall and muscular figure was standing in the air.
The figure wielded a black club, his expression indifferent as he looked down from above.
It was the other chief disciple from the Sacred Palace, Wang Yuan.
“Obediently stay inside the valley.” Wang Yuan flatly said, before he tilted his head slightly and looked towards Ning Mo. “One minute.”
A savage smile appeared from the corners of Ning Mo’s mouth. “That’s enough. I will break his limbs and make him kneel here forever for everyone to see.”
His words were brimming with killing intent.
Zhou Yuan had clearly angered this Sacred Palace chief disciple.
Rumble!
Ning Mo’s robes abruptly began to flap as vigorous Genesis Qi swept out from his body like a storm, accompanied by a suffocating pressure.
The Genesis Qi that pulsed from his body was scarlet-red, and gave off extremely high heat. From a distance, it looked as if a giant pillar of fire was rising into the sky.
Rumble!
Scarlet-red rose in Ning Mo’s eyes. He clenched both hands as scarlet-red Genesis Qi whips appeared within them. The whips tore across the sky like giant pythons as they ruthlessly lashed at Zhou Yuan.
Chla!
Even the air began to burn at this moment.
These two strikes were deadly and domineering.
As the whips swiftly descended, Zhou Yuan’s figure rapidly turned ethereal.
The scarlet-red Genesis Qi whips landed on Zhou Yuan’s body, only to pass right through a split second later. It had been an after image.
Boom!
The whips slammed into the ground, causing the entire peak to explode. Cracks rapidly grew on the mountain as boulders tumbled down.
Ning Mo icily chuckled as he jerked his hands. The whips instantly changed direction, swinging towards a boulder nearby.
Bang!
The boulder was blown to pieces as an ethereal figure shot backwards.
Bang! Bang!
However, no matter how the figure retreated, the Genesis Qi whips would quickly follow like a shadow. For a time, the mountains in the vicinity were destroyed one after another, peak after peak crumbling with each powerful blow.
From what the onlookers could see, Zhou Yuan had no way of counter attacking, and could only keep trying to avoid the attacks.
However, they had to admit that his agility was indeed quite remarkable to have managed to dodge for so long.
But when they saw the toying look on Ning Mo’s face, they realized that the latter was just playing around.
Wang Yuan impatiently shouted, “Stop playing Ning Mo, you’re wasting time!”
“Haha, alright.” Replied Ning Mo as an eerie smile appeared on his face. With foot rose and slammed downwards, causing the air beneath it to explode.
His figure instantly disappeared.
Bzz!
In the next instant, he appeared again on a nearby mountain top under the numerous watching gazes of the crowd.
“I’ve caught you little mouse!”
Ning Mo’s sharp eyes stared to the front, where an ethereal figure had begun to appear.
His palms pushed together in front of his chest as scarlet-red Genesis Qi rapidly converged between them like a giant red sun. The sun pulsed violently with extreme heat, as it shot towards the ethereal figure at a speed so quick that it was impossible to avoid.
The mountain trembled as it began to crumble in the face of this Genesis Qi attack.
“Kneel before me little mouse!” Howled Ning Mo, as the giant scarlet-red Genesis Qi sun smashed unto Zhou Yuan’s body under numerous horrified gazes.
Boom! Boom!
A storm of scarlet-red Genesis Qi unfurled.
The watching factions shook their heads inside at this scene. To think that the kid called Zhou Yuan had directly eaten Ning Mo’s domineering attack. There was no way he would survive!
In the valley, the expressions of Jin Zhang and the others changed slightly. Though they had witnessed Zhou Yuan’s strength before in the Genesis reservoir ceremony. Ning Mo was clearly on a different level than the Baili Che from back then.
Wasn’t it too careless of Zhou Yuan to have directly taken that attack?
Scarlet-red Genesis Qi rose into the air, making Ning Mo’s face appear even more sinister under its glow, as he chillingly laughed and said, “Kid, I hope you’ll be able to open your eyes a little wider in your next life when you try to play hero!”
“Is that so?”
However, a nonchalant voice replied him from the berserking scarlet-red Genesis Qi.
Ning Mo’s eyes abruptly tightened.
Before he could respond, a hand bathed in jade light reached out from the scarlet-red Genesis Qi, silver light flashing deep within it.
The hand clenched into a fist as golden Genesis Qi rushed out. In the end, it viciously punched towards Ning Mo’s head.
The air exploded around it, creating a sonic boom.
Ning Mo’s expression could not help but change as the deadly force pounced towards him. In the split second between life and death, his figure hastily twisted. That power was not something a seventh layer practitioner could possibly possess!
Boom!
The punch packed with astonishing power brushed past his head and smashed into his shoulder.
Crack!
The hair-raising sound of bone crac
king rang out.
Boom!
The dreadful power instantly caused Ning Mo’s body to crumple, his legs no longer able to support him as his knees slammed into ground, creating numerous cracks on the solid stone.
Urgh!
A mouthful of fresh blood sprayed from his mouth.
The devastating scarlet-red storm of Genesis Qi slowly dissipated at this moment.
Numerous gazes looked over, as their eyes slowly widened...
Instead of being completely disintegrated, Zhou Yuan silently stood there with Ning Mo kneeling before him...
The originally noisy mountain range had instantly fallen deathly silent.
In fact, even the wind seemed to have quietly hidden away at this moment.
Amidst the numerous horrified and shocked gazes, Zhou Yuan lowered his expressionless face as he looked at the kneeling figure before him and slowly said, “Is this how you wanted me to kneel?”
Chapter 570 Blood for Blood
Amidst the mountain range.
Numerous gazes stared in shock and horror at a certain mountain top in the distance, where the originally unstoppable Ning Mo was kneeling on the ground...
“How… how did this happen?!”
Their mouths hung wide open, their brains practically turned to mush, while a ringing noise continuously echoed in their heads.
The scene before their eyes had truly surpassed their imagination. That seventh layer chief disciple from the Cangxuan Sect should have been powerless to fight back against Ning Mo. And yet, the very same Ning Mo that had held the absolute upper hand mere moments ago, had now been forced to the ground by a single punch from Zhou Yuan...
At this moment, even the most stupid person knew that the seemingly seventh layer Cangxuan Sect chief disciple was in actuality a tiger disguising itself as a pig.
In the valley, Jin Zhang and the rest of the Cangxuan Sect disciples breathed a faint sigh of relief, clearly not as shocked and lost as the outsiders. This was after all not the first time they had witnessed Zhou Yuan terrifying battle power.
Under the numerous shocked gazes, Ning Mo finally realized what had happened after being stunned for a few breaths, as bloody veins immediately crawled out in his eyes.
Sheeong!
Berserk without equal scarlet-red Genesis Qi frantically exploded from his body, creating a scarlet-red barrier on his shoulder that began to push back against Zhou Yuan’s fist.
His foot slammed into the ground, smashing it as his figure appeared in the air above.
Ning Mo’s face at this moment was stormily terrifying. His bloody eyes stared at Zhou Yuan as he wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth, while a voice filled with nearly solid killing intent escaped from the cracks between his teeth.
“Good, good… I did not expect that I would one day be played the fool of by someone else!”
“Is this the extent of your abilities? Acting weak to lull me into a false sense of security and then using that opportunity to gravely injure me?” Ning Mo touched his shoulder. His right shoulder was currently fractured due to Zhou Yuan’s earlier punch.
“Ning Mo, let me take over if you can’t manage. Don’t bring shame to our Sacred Palace!” nearby, Wang Yuan’s indifferent eyes hard turned ice-cold as they locked onto Zhou Yuan like a hawk.
“This kid is not as simple as he appears.”
“No need!” Ning Mo gnashed his teeth, before he took in a deep breath to suppress the violent murder in his heart. “I was careless earlier, but don’t worry, I will soon skin him to wash away that humiliation!”
Although Zhou Yuan’s punch has been alarmingly powerful, Ning Mo had not felt any strong Genesis Qi from it. If not for the former’s carelessness, it would have been entirely possible for him to block the attack.
Rumble!
Ning Mo stood in the air, scarlet-red Genesis Qi frantically surging around him as the temperature of the entire forest gradually began to rise.
Scarlet-red Genesis Qi rose into the sky, transforming into a fiery-red starry sky behind him.
In the distance, the various factions gasped in alarm when they saw this phenomenon.
Genesis Qi starry sky!
Only someone whose Genesis Qi stars had passed ten thousand would be able to produce such a phenomenon.
It was clear that this Sacred Palace chief disciple was no longer going to hold back, and had brought out all of his most powerful Genesis Qi to wash away the earlier humiliation.
Ning Mo looked down at Zhou Yuan from above with scarlet-red eyes. The former was akin to a god of fire at this moment, as a heart palpitating pressure pulsed from his body.
He did not waste any time talking this time, his hands abruptly coming together to form a seal.
Cackle!
Scarlet-red Genesi Qi roared out, filling the sky and land. The Genesis Qi churned and raged as it transformed into a several thousand feet wide giant fire hand. A sinister face seemed to emerge on the hand, as a piercing hiss escaped its lips.
A berserk aura destruction pulsed from the blazing hand.
The various factions amidst the mountain forest gazed at the giant flaming hand in the sky with grave expression, as fear and dread flooded their eyes.
“That is… the Flame Devil Annihilation Hand! It’s said to be the strongest Genesis technique of the Sacred Palace’s Sacred Flame Hall!”
“Looks like Ning Mo has decided to end it after suffering earlier!”
“……”
Wang Yuan gave a faint nod of approval as he watched this scene. Ning Mo was thankfully not stupid enough to continue playing with Zhou Yuan, and had directly unleashed his most powerful Genesis technique.
In the face of this attack, even Wang Yuan would not dare to receive it head on.
Even if Zhou Yuan had concealed his strength, this attack was enough to decide the victor.
Rumble!
As the giant flaming hand took shape, Ning Mo’s icy gaze locked onto Zhou Yuan and slapped his hands together. In the next instant, the flaming hand descended, seemingly piercing through space itself as it mercilessly swung downwards onto the latter.
The ancient trees that covered the mountain began to burn at this moment, turning the place into a sea of flames.
Zhou Yuan stood on the mountain top, a trace of surprise flitting across his eyes as he gazed upon the rapidly growing flaming hand. Ning Mo’s strength was quite overwhelming indeed.
Not only had his Genesis Qi also broken the ten thousand mark, he had even practiced such a powerful Genesis technique. However, the ghastly face on the flaming hand was very faint, a sign that Ning Mo was only at the initial stage.
“This Sacred Palace chief disciple is pretty strong…”
However, there was no fear in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. In fact, there was no sign that he was even going to dodge the attack, as he calmly looked at the incoming giant flaming hand.
In the next instant, his foot suddenly smashed into the ground.
Swoosh!
The ground cracked as Zhou Yuan’s figure dashed into the sky amidst numerous shocked gazes, heading straight towards the giant flaming hand.
Instead of retreating, he had chosen to meet it head-on!
Zhou Yuan’s figure was as tiny as an ant in the face of the giant flaming hand, making it feel as if he was an ant trying to shake a large tree.
“You fool!” A twisted sinister expression abruptly appeared on Ning Mo’s face when he saw this. Even equally strong chief disciples of the Sacred Palace would not dare to directly take on this trump card of his.
Every gaze in the area converged towards this very spot.
The groups in the distance could not help but shake their heads, as if they would soon see Zhou Yuan’s figure being burnt to ashes by the giant flaming devil hand...
Bzz!
Under the many watching gazes, golden Genesis Qi suddenly exploded from Zhou Yuan’s body when he was mere seconds away from colliding with the flaming hand.
; Golden light converged behind him, transforming into a golden starry sky.
*Gasp*!
When the golden starry sky appeared behind him, a series of shocked gasps rang out across the area, as gaze after gaze filled with astonishment.
Ning Mo’s pupils also shrank slightly at this moment as his expression turned a little grave. He had already did his best not to underestimate Zhou Yuan, but the former never expected that the latter’s Genesis Qi cultivation had also reached this level.
It was not the slightest bit inferior to his own.
“So this is your true power…”
“However, if you believe that this will allow you to take on my Flame Devil Annihilation Hand directly, I can only say that you’re too naive!” An eerily chilling expression was revealed on Ning Mo’s face. He had absolute confidence in his trump card.
Golden Genesis Qi swirled around Zhou Yuan’s body like a coiling giant python. His hands rapidly formed a series of seals as a deep voice rang out from his mouth, “Omega Saint Spirit Art!”
A mysterious light figure swiftly coalesced, and immediately swooped down to envelope Zhou Yuan’s body.
Only then did both forces finally collide.
Boom!
An indescribably loud noise resounded across the sky, quickly followed by a berserk without equal storm of Genesis Qi. The storm unfurled with unstoppable momentum, blasting away the nearby mountain peaks.
This clash made the scalps of the countless onlookers turn numb.
Everyone’s gazes were tightly glued to the epicenter of the collision, where the berserk Genesis Qi had distorted even space itself. It was a long while later before the space gradually began to recover...
Ning Mo was also staring unblinkingly at the recovering space.
“What a fool, he should have been completely incinerated to ash, right?” Said Ning Mo through gritted teeth.
However, when the words left his mouth, he suddenly heard countless gasps from the surrounding mountains.
Ning Mo’s pupils abruptly tightened.
He had just seen a figure enveloped by golden Genesis Qi silently floating in the sky. Who else could it be but Zhou Yuan?!
He had forcefully withstood the giant flaming devil hand!
“How can this be?!” Ning Mo’s face slowly turned rigid.
