Chapter 463: The Situation Gradually Changes

Outside the Chief Peak, countless gazes stared dumbfounded at the young figure standing on Chen Gong's body. Everyone couldn't help but swallow.

No one had expected Zhou Yuan to suddenly appear at such a moment.

The figure that had descended in an instant was like a god from the heavens.

Shen Taiyuan, observing this scene, quietly let out a sigh of relief. If even Han Yu were eliminated, Zhou Yuan would face four opponents, undoubtedly putting him at a severe disadvantage.

Zhou Yuan's previous sneak attack was incredibly decisive and swift, and his timing was perfect. Chen Gong had barely reacted before being caught off guard, immediately falling unconscious and being eliminated.

In this kind of contest, no one would naturally criticize Zhou Yuan for a sneak attack. After all, the opponents had a numerical advantage; choosing a direct, head-on confrontation would have been foolish.

"It's that guy again!" Lu Hong's face was grim. Just as two disciples from the Lü Song lineage were about to be eliminated, Zhou Yuan unexpectedly appeared and disrupted everything. His mood was indescribably foul.

For some reason, Lu Hong always felt that the situation, which he had believed was entirely in his favor, had subtly shifted since Zhou Yuan's appearance.

"Tsk, how is that possible? With that kid's ability, wanting to reverse the situation? Who does he think he is?!"

However, in a blink, Lu Hong dismissed the thought with a scoff. He clearly wouldn't admit that Zhou Yuan possessed such capability.

Under the absolute advantage of their lineage, Zhou Yuan was merely a mantis trying to stop a chariot!

"Hmph, let you be smug for now. Once my lineage becomes the main lineage of Saint Genesis Peak, I'll make sure you all suffer a great deal."

Lu Hong's face darkened, and numerous thoughts of future reckoning arose in his mind. As soon as his lineage became the main one, his status would be the highest on Saint Genesis Peak, and it would be effortless to exploit the cultivation resources of the other two lineages.

He wanted to see just how formidable Zhou Yuan could be without sufficient cultivation resources.

Hmph, a genius... I'll make you realize that even a genius, if they choose the wrong side, will remain a pearl covered in dust, unable to see the light of day!

On the stone platform.

The three disciples from Lu Hong's lineage stared at Zhou Yuan with grim expressions. Then, they took a deep breath, their eyes gradually becoming colder.

Zhou Yuan's sudden appearance had indeed caught them by surprise.

"Where's Wu Hai?" The one who spoke first was the figure in the center of the trio, named Chu Yang. Among Lu Hong's lineage, his strength was second only to Yuan Hong. He stared grimly at Zhou Yuan and asked in a low voice.

"Eliminated," Zhou Yuan replied casually, looking down at the completely unconscious Chen Gong, then dismissing him from his mind as he looked up.

Chu Yang and the other two's pupils slightly constricted. Wu Hai's strength was not inferior to theirs. Could he have been defeated by Zhou Yuan so quickly? They knew very well that after suffering a previous loss, Wu Hai would certainly not underestimate his opponent again.

This meant that this time, Zhou Yuan had probably defeated Wu Hai fair and square.

If that were the case, they could no longer underestimate the Zhou Yuan standing before them.

A graceful figure landed beside Zhou Yuan. Han Yu's beautiful eyes looked at him with a hint of complexity. She, too, had not expected that the one who appeared to save her would be the person she had never held any hope for.

"Are you alright?" Zhou Yuan asked, glancing at her.

Han Yu nodded. "I can still fight."

"That's good," Zhou Yuan nodded, then glanced at Han Yan, who was also unconscious nearby. The latter had been severely injured and was clearly eliminated.

"What do we do next?" Han Yu hesitated before asking.

With Zhou Yuan having dealt with Wu Hai and then swiftly defeated Chen Gong to rescue her, Han Yu clearly no longer dared to disregard him as she had before.

"What else is there to do... Let's just fight directly," Zhou Yuan said with a smile.

Although Han Yan was also eliminated, their overall situation was gradually improving. After all, the opposing side now only had three people left.

"What a boast!" Chu Yang couldn't help but sneer upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words. "Although I don't know what methods you used to defeat Wu Hai, we won't make the same mistake again."

"Junior Brother Zhu Qing, you handle Han Yu. Junior Brother Liu Xiang, you team up with me to take care of Zhou Yuan!" Chu Yang said gravely. He had indeed noticed their advantage slowly being eroded, and it was all because they had underestimated Zhou Yuan. If they had left two more people with Wu Hai earlier, Zhou Yuan would probably have been eliminated by now.

Therefore, he no longer intended to fight Zhou Yuan one-on-one. They had to concentrate their strength and first expel Zhou Yuan, this unstable element, from the Chief Peak.

The other two disciples nodded at his words, their eyes fixed intently on Zhou Yuan and Han Yu.

Han Yu's eyes showed worry. She whispered, "Those two have been together for many years, and their Genesis Qi and Genesis Arts are highly compatible. If they team up, their coordination is flawless, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Can you manage?"

Although Zhou Yuan had defeated Wu Hai, both Chu Yang and Liu Xiang were no weaker than Wu Hai. More importantly, they were particularly skilled at combined attacks, and their strength would increase if they worked together.

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan merely smiled and told Han Yu, "Be careful yourself. If you can't win, just stall for time."

As his voice faded, he flashed back.

Seeing this, Chu Yang and the other disciple named Liu Xiang both sneered. The next instant, their figures shot forward, chasing after Zhou Yuan.

Han Yu watched the three figures disappear into the mist, her eyes growing more complex. Zhou Yuan alone had drawn away the two strongest opponents, undoubtedly taking the pressure off her.

"Zhou Yuan, hold on a little longer! Once I'm done here, I'll come help you!"

Her beautiful eyes sharpened as she stared at the remaining disciple before her, her Genesis Qi beginning to surge around her.

"Oh, quite bold, daring to face two opponents alone," Chu Qing remarked with a surprised smile from high in the sky, watching Zhou Yuan draw away the two disciples.

"He doesn't know what's good for him," Kong Sheng said indifferently.

He had heard of Chu Yang and Liu Xiang. It seemed they had been very close since entering the sect, so their coordination when working together was far superior to ordinary people.

And now that they were teaming up to corner Zhou Yuan, there would naturally be no more variables.

Chu Qing chuckled lazily. "Junior Brother Kong Sheng, haven't you noticed that Lu Hong's lineage of five disciples is gradually losing their initial advantage?"

Kong Sheng remained silent. How could he not have noticed? In the beginning, Lu Hong's lineage of five disciples held an absolute advantage, but now two had been eliminated.

In contrast, the other two lineages had only lost one, Han Yan.

The source of all this was Zhou Yuan's presence...

If Zhou Yuan could truly deal with Chu Yang and Liu Xiang as well, then Lu Hong's lineage, with the exception of Yuan Hong, would likely be completely wiped out by him...

And what an achievement that would be?

Kong Sheng's eyes narrowed slightly. After a long moment, he slowly said, "Don't worry, this time, facing the combined strength of Chu Yang and Liu Xiang, he won't be able to escape disaster!"

As long as Chu Yang and Liu Xiang didn't underestimate him again, it wouldn't be so easy for Zhou Yuan to fight two at once!

Chu Qing stared into the mist-shrouded Chief Peak, resting his chin on his hand and smiling with interest.

"Then let's wait and see."
