Chapter 1305: Sudden Attack

The moment Zhou Yuan appeared, the four Pill Hunters chose to flee without hesitation.

Even if Zhou Yuan's reputation had faded somewhat over the past two years, he had a record of slaying a pseudo-Law Domain expert two years prior. Moreover, two years later, his Soul realm had advanced into the Wandering God stage...

That was power comparable to a true Law Domain expert.

It was far beyond their ability to contend with.

These Pill Hunters were greedy and cruel, but they also understood how to size up a situation.

"Since you've entered this line of work, you should naturally understand the price for provoking someone you shouldn't have," Zhou Yuan said, watching the four fleeing figures indifferently. He then fixed his gaze on one, extended a finger, and pointed from a distance.

The moment his finger pointed, the fleeing pseudo-Law Domain expert's body instantly froze in the void. This was because the surrounding void had been completely solidified by Soul power.

He roared within it, attempting to resist with his own pseudo-Law Domain, but ultimately realized with despair that it was futile.

Terrifying Soul power poured forth like mercury, directly crushing the pseudo-Law Domain, which shattered like a bubble. Then, as the Soul power washed over him, the pseudo-Law Domain expert's struggles abruptly ceased. His body appeared unharmed, but his soul within had been utterly obliterated at that moment.

All life signs vanished.

While Zhou Yuan dealt with this pseudo-Law Domain expert, the other three Pill Hunters fled even faster, as if their lives depended on it.

However, at that moment, from one direction, a majestic beast roar echoed through the void. The next moment, the void twisted, forming a black hole. The black hole opened and swallowed a fleeing pseudo-Law Domain expert in a single, silent gulp.

The black hole spun, and finally, a small beast leaped out of the void, simultaneously swallowing the black hole.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the void, a faint phoenix cry resounded. The next moment, the void shattered, and golden feathers filled the sky, transforming into a roaring torrent. It enveloped the pseudo-Law Domain Pill Hunter.

The Pill Hunter resisted with all his might, even conjuring a Law Domain, but he underestimated the power contained within the myriad golden feathers. In the radiant feathers, scorching golden flames pulsed. After several waves of assault, his pseudo-Law Domain showed signs of being incinerated.

Finally, his Law Domain faltered, and the countless feathers directly pierced and incinerated him, under the Pill Hunter's terrified gaze.

As the darkness spread, he saw a graceful figure in a magnificent red dress, slowly emerging from the void. Her face was exquisitely beautiful, and her narrow, phoenix-like eyes held a chilling gaze.

"Princess Wu..." As death enveloped him, he uttered his last murmur.

The last Pill Hunter also sensed the demise of his companions. He knew that this time, he was in deep trouble; his luck had finally run out.

His fleeing figure suddenly slowed to a halt.

He looked up at the void ahead, where, amidst the mist, a tall, upright man emerged. In his palm, a luminous shuttle slowly rotated. Eerie black light pulsed erratically from it, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Zhao Mushen, Son of Devourer..." the Pill Hunter said, his voice strained.

"You cockroaches from the gutter, how dare you lay a hand on our people? Are your eyes blinded by filth?" Zhao Mushen's gaze was condescending, filled with mockery and chill.

The Pill Hunter did not reply. Instead, at that moment, he suddenly unleashed all his Genesis Qi. A roaring torrent directly pierced through the void, charging towards Zhao Mushen, who blocked his path.

Zhao Mushen watched the death-defying attack, his face expressionless, as the black luminous shuttle flashed away.

The void before him shattered. From within the immense attack, a dark long spear shot out, aimed directly at Zhao Mushen's glabella.

The spear tip rapidly approached, yet Zhao Mushen neither dodged nor evaded.

Finally, the spear tip suddenly halted just an inch from Zhao Mushen's glabella.

The Pill Hunter lowered his head with difficulty, only to see a black luminous shuttle had appeared on his chest at some point. Black light rapidly spread from it. Everywhere it passed, flesh and blood dissolved completely...

Zhao Mushen extended two fingers, lightly flicked away the spear tip in front of him, then opened his mouth wide and inhaled sharply.

The black light spread, seemingly dissolving the Pill Hunter entirely. He ultimately transformed into black liquid, which Zhao Mushen absorbed into his stomach.

Zhou Yuan sensed the disappearance of life from the three Pill Hunters. Only then did he turn his head to look at the beautiful girl holding a long sword, asking, "Are you alright?"

Su Youwei stared at Zhou Yuan for a few breaths, then lowered her gaze slightly, asking with a touch of embarrassment, "Your Highness, why did you suddenly come?"

"Wu Yao received some news and came to inform me, so I immediately came out. Thankfully, I arrived in time."

Zhou Yuan clearly breathed a sigh of relief, then said with a hint of reproach, "This Chaotic Void is fraught with danger; how could you venture out alone?"

Su Youwei smiled faintly, pressing her red lips together, and nodded, saying, "I wasn't careful enough. Your Highness is right to scold me."

At this moment, Wu Yao also revealed herself. Hearing Su Youwei's words, she couldn't help but say, "This obedient look isn't the Su Youwei I know!"

Su Youwei smiled, "That's because His Highness speaks sense. My venturing out alone this time was indeed ill-advised, and it caused everyone to come looking for me." As she spoke, her beautiful eyes, shimmering with a faint light, gazed at Zhou Yuan. It was evident that Zhou Yuan's appearance had instantly lifted her spirits.

Wu Yao watched this scene speechless, and could only shake her head inwardly, "Truly hopeless."

Zhou Yuan felt a little uncomfortable under Su Youwei's gaze, and could only cough once, saying, "You should recover first, then we'll leave together."

Su Youwei nodded slightly, and then obediently closed her eyes to recuperate.

Zhou Yuan turned around, surveying the surroundings of this area, maintaining vigilance.

At this moment, the space above his head twisted, and Tun Tun leaped out, landing on his head. Immediately after, Zhao Mushen also appeared, pulling out a golden, fragrant, greasy roasted meat leg from somewhere and offering it to Tun Tun: "Would Lord Tun Tun like to eat?"

Tun Tun's tongue flicked out, swallowing the meat leg. It then cast an approving look at Zhao Mushen.

Zhou Yuan: "..."

Ultimately, he ignored these two oddballs, and instead looked at Wu Yao, asking, "Was there a previous report of Saint Race fluctuations in this area?"

Wu Yao nodded, saying, "However, the information wasn't confirmed. After that, All-Heavens City thoroughly investigated this area, even deploying Saints, but ultimately found nothing, so the matter was left unsettled."

"Perhaps that previous fluctuation was just a momentary misperception."

Zhou Yuan pondered for a moment, saying, "Regardless, let's not stay here too long. Once Youwei recovers, we'll leave immediately."

Wu Yao nodded in agreement.

Thus, the two of them remained vigilant. However, Zhao Mushen paid no attention to this. He simply kept pulling out various delicacies and continuously feeding them to Tun Tun, who was perched on Zhou Yuan's head.

One was happily feeding, the other happily eating, as if they were on a pleasant outing.

Meanwhile, the veins on Zhou Yuan's forehead throbbed with increasing intensity under these circumstances. Finally, when a drop of golden grease landed on his face, he could no longer hold back: "You two, that's enough!"

Tun Tun's mouth was full and bulging. It waved its paws, somewhat displeased that Zhou Yuan had disturbed its meal.

"I'll tell Yao Yao that you've been eating food fed by others. She'll definitely starve you for a few days then!" Zhou Yuan threatened.

Tun Tun's beast eyes widened. It swallowed the food in its mouth in one gulp, then angrily protested.

However, protest or no protest, it ultimately dared not eat anymore, lest that scoundrel Zhou Yuan really go and tell on it.

Seeing this, Zhao Mushen angrily said, "Zhou Yuan, you're going too far! What right do you have to stop Lord Tun Tun from eating?!"

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes, truly too lazy to bother with this guy.

However, just as Zhao Mushen was about to continue fighting for his right to feed, Zhou Yuan's expression suddenly changed drastically. He abruptly looked up and sharply cried out, "Watch out!"

The instant his voice fell, this part of the void suddenly shattered. Four terrifying Genesis Qi attacks, like natural disasters, whistled down. Each attack contained power comparable to a Law Domain expert!

Now, with all four unleashed simultaneously, their combined momentum was truly terrifying!

The attacks came too suddenly, and by the time Zhou Yuan's voice had just fallen, the four Genesis Qi attacks had already descended.

Boom! Boom!

In that instant, an area of ten thousand miles was instantly leveled.

Zhou Yuan and the others were also enveloped within it.
