Chapter 633: Against Two as One

Outside the mountain where the Cangxuan Sect's main base was located, Zhan Taiqing raised her scarlet eyes, looking in the direction Zhou Yuan had left earlier. A playful curve formed on her small, red lips as she smiled and said to Li Qingchan in the distance, "Your Cangxuan Sect's Chief Disciple truly possesses extraordinary courage."

Li Qingchan's pretty face tensed, and a hint of anxiety flickered in the depths of her eyes. In her opinion, Zhou Yuan was too reckless; she knew that outside Zhenhun Mountain, the Sacred Palace had assigned two Saint Sons to guard the area. However, she understood that rushing wouldn't help. She took a deep breath and said coldly, "Since Zhou Yuan dared to go, he must be confident. Don't celebrate too soon." At this moment, she could only place her hope in Zhou Yuan's strength.

"Oh, really?" Zhan Taiqing chuckled softly, then lightly raised her jade hand. A bronze mirror appeared in it, and as she infused it with Genesis Qi, a burst of light shot out, projecting an image directly onto the void. In the image, Zhou Yuan stood suspended in the air, facing Lei Jun and Tie Mo.

"Since you're so confident, let's watch a good show," Zhan Taiqing said with a slight smile. "Of course, if you want to fight, I can oblige, but I'm sure you know that would just be a waste of Genesis Qi."

Li Qingchan's beautiful eyes fixed on the image in the sky. She knew Zhan Taiqing was deliberately doing this for the Cangxuan Sect disciples behind them, wanting them to witness Zhou Yuan's defeat and thereby shake the sect's morale. But Li Qingchan also knew she couldn't stop it. Fortunately, she had already sent a message; if Chu Qing, Tun Tun, and the others became free, they would provide support immediately. Her beautiful eyes watched Zhou Yuan's figure, and her jade hands slowly clenched. "Zhou Yuan, you must hold on a little longer."

When Zhou Yuan's voice, laden with deep killing intent, echoed through the mountain range, Lei Jun and Tie Mo, standing on the mountaintop, were first stunned, then burst into roaring laughter. They never imagined that Zhou Yuan, facing the two of them, would not only choose not to flee but also dare to utter such foolish words in front of them. Did he really think that defeating Chai Ying earlier meant he could be so contemptuous of the Sacred Palace's Saint Sons? Both of them could surpass Chai Ying's strength. While Zhou Yuan might have defeated Chai Ying, it didn't mean he could gain any advantage against them. Furthermore, and most importantly, there were two of them now! With two Saint Sons present, how dared Zhou Yuan utter such arrogant words to them?! After a long period of wild laughter, they gradually quieted down. They exchanged glances, and a chilling curve slowly formed on their lips.

"Insolent brat, today we'll see what right you have to be so arrogant in front of us!" As their voices fell, mighty, storm-like Genesis Qi erupted from their bodies, causing the ground beneath their feet to crack continuously. A violent Genesis Qi pressure raged outwards. The Genesis Qi intertwined behind them, vaguely forming a sky full of Genesis Qi stars. In the distant mountain forests, Zuoqiu Qingyu, Li Chunjun, and Ning Zhan watched this scene with extremely solemn expressions. Judging by the scale of the sky full of stars, the number of Genesis Qi stars within Lei Jun and Tie Mo's bodies had probably reached around forty-five thousand. This was indeed stronger than Chai Ying's earlier display.

With their Genesis Qi exploding, Lei Jun and Tie Mo's eyes turned exceptionally cold. They did not choose to fight individually; both figures shot out almost simultaneously. They clearly intended to join forces directly and defeat Zhou Yuan as quickly as possible. After their previous setback with Chai Ying, the Sacred Palace had clearly learned its lesson and no longer underestimated Zhou Yuan, the Cangxuan Sect's Chief Disciple.

Lei Jun and Tie Mo transformed into two streaks of light, streaking across the sky. From left and right, they shot towards Zhou Yuan like rushing thunder, their vast Genesis Qi roaring and whistling, creating thunderous booms. Zhou Yuan stood in the void, expressionlessly watching the two assailants approaching simultaneously from left and right. Killing intent permeated his eyes as golden Genesis Qi began to surge from within him. He showed no signs of retreating in the slightest. It seemed he intended to directly meet their combined attack. This sight caused Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others below to change their expressions slightly. The current situation was already extremely disadvantageous for Zhou Yuan; if he were rational, he should avoid their sharp edge and seek opportunities to defeat them one by one. But what was this posture, intending to directly meet their combined attack?! "This guy! How did he suddenly turn into a reckless brute?!" Zuoqiu Qingyu couldn't help but stamp her foot, her charming face filled with anxiety. Although she had seen Zhou Yuan defeat Chai Ying before, Zhou Yuan at that time had clearly used every available method. But now, the combined assault of the two Sacred Palace Saint Sons, Lei Jun and Tie Mo, was far beyond what Chai Ying could compare to.

Under their gaze, Lei Jun and Tie Mo streaked across the sky, letting out a long roar. As they threw a punch, their Genesis Qi surged, causing the air in front of them to explode completely. Each of their punches possessed the power to collapse a mountain peak. Now, unleashed simultaneously, the air around Zhou Yuan seemed to be completely compressed and exploded. The two streaks of light rapidly enlarged in Zhou Yuan's pupils, yet he remained motionless and expressionless. Only the chilling intent in his gaze sent shivers down one's spine. "Arrogant fool, die!" Lei Jun and Tie Mo were enraged by Zhou Yuan's almost dismissive stance, and killing intent surged within them. In the next instant, their figures appeared like phantoms directly on Zhou Yuan's left and right. Their emitted Genesis Qi directly blocked Zhou Yuan's escape routes. At the same time, the fist-lights, containing their full power, fiercely slammed towards Zhou Yuan.

At this moment, Zhou Yuan finally made his move. He extended both palms and heavily slammed them directly towards the two fierce fist-lights that were whistling towards him. He actually intended to meet them head-on! A sinister grin appeared on Lei Jun and Tie Mo's lips. To them, Zhou Yuan's action was simply suicidal. They believed that in the next second, their fist-lights would shatter every bone in Zhou Yuan's body. Boom! In the next instant, under the horrified gazes of Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others, the full-powered fist-lights of the two Sacred Palace Saint Sons collided with Zhou Yuan's outstretched palms. A violent and incomparable Genesis Qi storm raged, and dazzling light engulfed the figures of all three. The mountain below had half its peak ripped off by the residual impact. Even the area where Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others stood was affected. Towering ancient trees were uprooted, and the three quickly circulated their Genesis Qi, firmly pinning themselves to the ground to avoid being swept away. However, they paid no heed to their surroundings, their eyes fixed on the source of the Genesis Qi explosion in the sky.

There, the dazzling Genesis Qi light gradually faded, and the scene in the sky came into view once more. Then, a profound astonishment appeared on the faces of Zuoqiu Qingyu and the other two. "How could this be...?" High in the sky, Zhou Yuan's figure remained unmoving. On his left and right, Lei Jun and Tie Mo's heavy punches were firmly held by Zhou Yuan's palms. And Zhou Yuan, having taken the full force of their combined attack head-on, didn't even have his clothes ruffled. An expression of disbelief appeared on Lei Jun and Tie Mo's originally fierce faces, because at the moment of the collision, they felt their own power was like rushing into a black hole, with no sign of Zhou Yuan's physical body being crushed as they had expected. Zhou Yuan's face was calm. Golden light bloomed in his eyes, and golden Genesis Qi surged forth without reserve. Instantly, golden light transformed into a sky full of stars behind him. Among those stars, others flickered. Thirty-nine thousand!
