Chapter 636: One Punch Kill

High in the sky, Zhou Yuan stood suspended in mid-air. At this moment, a mysterious light silhouette enveloped his body, and behind the silhouette, two radiant wings slowly flapped.

Each beat of the wings stirred up a hurricane.

A profound and powerful fluctuation slowly emanated from him.

"How is this possible…" Lei Jun’s face froze in disbelief. He clearly couldn't comprehend how his strongest attack had failed to inflict even the slightest injury on Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan stared expressionlessly at Lei Jun, his luminous wings gently fanning behind him. This mysterious light silhouette was, of course, the "Tai Xuan Sacred Spirit Art," but this time, it was in its true, complete form.

Aided by Tuntun’s bloodline suppression, he had finally succeeded in integrating the last nine main beast souls into the Sacred Spirit Seed over the past few days. This meant that his Tai Xuan Sacred Spirit Art was now truly perfected.

The Genesis Qi from heaven and earth surged continuously, absorbed by the Sacred Spirit light silhouette, which then channeled it back to Zhou Yuan, rapidly replenishing the Genesis Qi he had expended.

With the Tai Xuan Sacred Spirit Art truly mastered, its power was undoubtedly far greater than before.

Lei Jun sensed an intense aura of death emanating from Zhou Yuan at that moment. As soon as he regained his senses, he immediately retreated backward, pushing his speed to the limit, clearly intending to flee.

He had completely lost all will to fight.

Zhou Yuan watched Lei Jun, who looked like a stray dog, with a cold expression. His fingers slowly clenched, and the chilling killing intent in his eyes made the surrounding air turn icy cold.

The opponent's scheme to trap Yao Yao in a perilous situation had thoroughly touched Zhou Yuan's deepest vulnerability. At this very moment, Zhou Yuan's killing intent towards these Holy Sons of the Sacred Palace was at its peak.

These two must be eliminated here!

Not one of them will escape!

The wings of the Sacred Spirit light silhouette suddenly flapped at that instant. Zhou Yuan's figure vanished from his spot like a phantom, moving at an unimaginable speed.

No sooner had Zhou Yuan's figure disappeared than, in just a few breaths, Lei Jun was terrified to see space twist above him, and a figure flash into existence.

Zhou Yuan's face was icy cold, and his tightly clenched fist slammed down.

With that punch, 39,000 Genesis Qi stars within his Qi Mansion burst forth with dazzling light. Golden Genesis Qi, like molten gold, surged through his body, flowing along his meridians, and finally erupted from Zhou Yuan's fist.

Simultaneously, a drop of golden blood within his heart radiated light, countless golden threads permeating and connecting with his flesh, infusing immense power.

That single punch combined the power of 39,000 Genesis Qi stars and his golden blood physique!

Furthermore, it was augmented by the Sacred Spirit phantom.

The punch was launched, and even before it landed, subtle ripples began to appear in the space before him, caused by the powerful force of the impact.

A mighty gust of wind roared forward, and Lei Jun's face was filled with horror, clearly sensing the immense power of Zhou Yuan's punch.

"Mercy! I was just following orders!" Lei Jun shrieked in terror.

The aura of death brought by that punch stripped Lei Jun of all composure.

However, Zhou Yuan's expression remained cold, his fist wind roared, and finally, the punch descended, creating ripples in the void as it slammed directly into the layers of Genesis Qi defenses around Lei Jun's body.

All those Genesis Qi defenses shattered completely in mere moments.

Zhou Yuan's destructive punch then landed on Lei Jun's body, and at that instant, power like a volcanic eruption burst forth.

The void trembled.

A pained scream echoed.

Lei Jun's body was instantly blasted into a spray of blood.

Zhou Yuan's full-force punch was terrifyingly powerful!

On the mountaintop below, Zuoqiu Qingyu and the others stared dumbfounded at the bloody mist drifting in the sky. For a long time, they couldn't utter a word; the impact of the scene before them was simply too immense.

They had never imagined that Zhou Yuan's single punch would actually blast a Holy Son into smithereens…

That was a Holy Son of the Sacred Palace!

It was hard to imagine what a sensation this news would cause if it spread.

In the sky, Zhou Yuan coldly watched the drifting blood mist, then waved his sleeve, scattering it. From within, he extracted an object shimmering with six-colored light.

It was a six-colored God-Building Spirit Treasure.

Although Lei Jun had been obliterated by him, the God-Building Spirit Treasure within his Qi Mansion had remained intact.

Zhou Yuan put away the six-colored God-Building Spirit Treasure and then looked towards the collapsed mountain wall in the distance, where Tie Mo's body was growing cold. He curled his palm into a claw and sharply drew it in.

Instantly, another six-colored radiance shot up from Tie Mo's body and landed in his hand.

Both Lei Jun's and Tie Mo's six-colored God-Building Spirit Treasures contained extremely pure Genesis Qi fluctuations. It seemed they had already integrated quite a few God-Building Spirit Treasures and were evolving towards seven-colored God-Building Spirit Treasures.

Clearly, Lei Jun and Tie Mo had put considerable effort into their own God-Building Spirit Treasures, but unfortunately, they had all now benefited Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan put them away, then suddenly looked towards a mountaintop. He waved his sleeve, and a stream of Genesis Qi shot out, directly sweeping up a subtle gleam from that spot.

The light flew towards him, revealing a bronze mirror in Zhou Yuan's hand.

"A Transmitting Mirror?" Zhou Yuan coldly eyed the Sacred Palace crest on the bronze mirror, immediately knowing it had been set up by Lei Jun and the others. This mirror must have transmitted everything that had just happened here back to their base.

Zhou Yuan then raised the bronze mirror to his face, his eyes swirling with killing intent, and calmly said, "Have you seen enough? From now on, two seats among the Sacred Palace's Holy Sons will be vacant.”

As his voice fell, he clenched his hand, instantly crushing the bronze mirror into fragments.

The moment Zhou Yuan shattered the mirror, the image in the sky outside the Cangxuan Sect's main camp vanished. Zhan Taiqing, who had been sitting on a tree branch with a smiling face, now wore a completely grim expression.

Her crimson eyes were filled with chilling coldness.

She clearly hadn't expected such an outcome… two Sacred Palace Holy Sons had actually been directly slain by Zhou Yuan…

This result was somewhat unacceptable to her.

In contrast to Zhan Taiqing's grimness, Li Qingchan's rosy lips were agape. It took her a good while to slowly recover, her beautiful eyes also filled with shock.

Zhan Taiqing hadn't thought of this outcome, but then, neither had Li Qingchan.

Just a few days ago, Zhou Yuan had to go all out to defeat Chai Ying. Yet now, he had consecutively slain two Holy Sons who were even stronger than Chai Ying. How immense was the progress he had made?

Based solely on this record, Zhou Yuan's strength would be enough to rank him among the top four of their Cangxuan Sect's Ten Great Holy Sons!

Li Qingchan's eyes held a complex expression. Who could have imagined that, without anyone noticing, Zhou Yuan had already begun to approach their level indefinitely…

Li Qingchan took a deep breath, suppressing her emotions, then turned her beautiful eyes to the grim-faced Zhan Taiqing and said with a hint of satisfaction, "Zhan Taiqing, this time, you really shot yourselves in the foot.”

The deaths of two Holy Sons were undeniably a significant loss for the Sacred Palace.

However, all of this was self-inflicted by the Sacred Palace. If they hadn't schemed against Yao Yao, Zhou Yuan likely wouldn't have unleashed such intense killing intent.

The smile had long vanished from Zhan Taiqing's face. Her eyes, intensely cold, stared at the spot in the sky where the image had disappeared, then she withdrew her gaze and said indifferently, "Very well, to repeatedly make my Sacred Palace suffer…'

"Li Qingchan, tell him to be careful. If he falls into my hands, I will drain every drop of blood from his body and make him writhe in agony until he dies…”

Li Qingchan smiled faintly and said, "It's fine that I heard this, but if it reaches Yao Yao’s ears, you might not be so lucky.”

"Oh? That little Yao Yao?”

Zhan Taiqing raised an eyebrow and sneered, "Is there anyone in your Cangxuan Sect other than Chu Qing who I would even deem worthy? If that little Yao Yao manages to survive, then let her come find me, and we’ll see how I deal with her.”

"I think you’ll regret it,” Li Qingchan said slowly.

Zhan Taiqing's red lips curved into a sneer, and with a flash of red light on her body, she vanished, leaving a lingering voice behind.

"Oh really? I'll be waiting.”
