Chapter 755: Zhou Yuan Takes Action

Amidst the chaotic camp, the moment Zhou Yuan suddenly appeared, the fighting seemed to freeze for a moment. A multitude of astonished, disbelieving gazes fixed on Zhou Yuan.

Zhao Yue and Mu Chao, in particular, all looked as if they had seen a ghost.

They never imagined that at the critical moment when Yi Qiushui was in peril, the one who stepped forward to save her was none other than the person they had always regarded as a joke…

“How is this possible?!” Mu Chao’s face fluctuated between green and pale as he involuntarily blurted out.

Zhao Yue’s cold, beautiful face was also filled with doubt and disbelief. She, too, found it hard to believe the scene before her, yet she had to, because she clearly saw Xu Feng’s fierce, unmatched punch being stopped by Zhou Yuan.

This indicated that Zhou Yuan’s strength was also extremely formidable.

It seemed they had all been short-sighted… Could this Zhou Yuan truly be a hidden master?

In contrast to their disbelief, Yi Qiushui, as the one directly involved, appeared much calmer. However, the flickering in her eyes still betrayed some inner shock.

Listening to Zhou Yuan’s light chuckle, tinged with a hint of teasing, a faint blush appeared on her fair, jade-like cheeks. Then she softly said, “It seems Qiushui was blind not to recognize a true master. I hope Brother Zhou Yuan will not hold it against me.”

She showed no shame or anger from being deceived; instead, she openly admitted it and apologized.

Zhou Yuan chuckled nonchalantly, saying, “What master… Is there any master who would shamelessly demand things like that?”

Yi Qiushui smiled faintly, then said earnestly, “That is a great man who disregards trifles.”

“You didn’t treat me as a great man before.” This thought, of course, remained unsaid. After all, generally speaking, Yi Qiushui’s attitude towards him had already been quite friendly.

While the two were speaking, Xu Feng had also recovered from the sudden turn of events. His gaze, cold and sinister, locked onto Zhou Yuan as he said icily, “Where did this busybody come from, daring to interfere with the affairs of my Wind Demon Bandits!”

“It’s you, you little scoundrel!” Qiu Ji, on the other hand, glared ferociously at Zhou Yuan, clearly recognizing the culprit who had appeared out of nowhere and killed Qiu Yang.

“Xu Feng, kill him! He was the one who killed young master!” Qiu Ji said in a deep voice to Xu Feng.

Xu Feng was expressionless. “Since he chose to stand in my way, then he naturally has no path to life today.”

His eyes filled with fierce malevolence, he stared at Zhou Yuan and said coldly, “Kid, playing hero to save the beauty in front of me? I’m afraid you’ve picked the wrong person!”

Behind him, three Divine Palace halos vibrated, and a torrential stream of Genesis Qi roared out like an enraged python, causing the void to tremble as it charged directly at Zhou Yuan.

“Zhou Yuan, if we work together, he won’t gain any advantage!” Yi Qiushui’s beautiful eyes narrowed as she said.

However, Zhou Yuan remained calm. With a flick of his sleeve, a gentle force pushed Yi Qiushui back. “You go stabilize the situation; leave him to me.”

His body trembled, and golden Genesis Qi roared forth, quickly forming two Divine Palace halos behind him. However, when many gazes fell upon them, everyone was stunned.

They discovered that Zhou Yuan’s Divine Palace halos were hazy and grey, completely colorless!

Even Yi Qiushui looked astonished; clearly, it was the first time she had seen anyone with Divine Palace halos in such a form… Nevertheless, Zhou Yuan’s strength was also exposed at this moment.

Middle Divine Palace stage.

“So he’s also only in the middle Divine Palace stage.” Mu Chao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief. Although Zhou Yuan’s Divine Palace halos were strange, if he was only in the middle Divine Palace stage, then he was only comparable to himself.

However, just as he was thinking this, the two hazy, grey Divine Palace halos behind Zhou Yuan trembled. In the next instant, golden Genesis Qi, accompanied by a resounding roar, surged forth.

Two torrents of Genesis Qi clashed head-on.

A violent shockwave erupted, shattering nearby tents into a flurry of dust. Some people who were too close were sent spitting blood as they retreated.

Mu Chao and Zhao Yue were also forced back dozens of steps.

Only Yi Qiushui fared better, but she too was pushed back several steps. Then, her pretty face filled with astonishment, she stared at Zhou Yuan’s figure ahead, because she found that, after this clash of Genesis Qi with Xu Feng, Zhou Yuan had not fallen into the slightest disadvantage.

In terms of Genesis Qi reserves, he seemed to be no weaker than Xu Feng.

But how could this be possible?

Even she, a middle Divine Palace stage practitioner with eight Divine Palaces, was slightly weaker than Xu Feng in Genesis Qi reserves. How could Zhou Yuan be equally strong?

Zhao Yue and Mu Chao were even more incredulous.

Even Xu Feng’s pupils contracted slightly. This time, his gaze towards Zhou Yuan finally became solemn as he said gloomily, “Who exactly are you?”

Merely being in the middle Divine Palace stage, yet in terms of Genesis Qi reserves, he was no weaker than Xu Feng, who was in the late Divine Palace stage. Although Xu Feng had only entered the late stage two months ago, it was still a higher cultivation level.

And according to Xu Feng’s understanding, individuals in the middle Divine Palace stage who could possess such Genesis Qi reserves were exceedingly rare among the younger generation of the entire Heaven Abyss Region, and each one of them invariably possessed a significant background.

He worried that Zhou Yuan might be one of them.

“Xu Feng, he’s from another Heaven Domain!” Qiu Ji was also startled by the Genesis Qi reserves Zhou Yuan displayed, then he immediately shouted.

He was clearly worried that Xu Feng might back down now, causing their plan to fail.

“Someone from another Heaven Domain?” Xu Feng’s slightly furrowed brow slowly relaxed. If that were the case, then Zhou Yuan was not one of those prodigies with immense backgrounds.

“Many have died by my hand over the years, but I’ve been precisely missing a prodigy of your caliber…”

Xu Feng’s eyes were fierce, and a murderous aura rose from his body. His iron fists clashed, emitting a metallic clang. Black light flickered across the surface of his body, and his physique began to swell.

“Profound Iron Art!”

In just a few breaths, Xu Feng transformed into a small, pitch-black giant. His body resembled black profound iron, seemingly indestructible.

Mu Chao, Zhao Yue, and others felt the astonishing pressure radiating from Xu Feng’s body and couldn’t help but retreat. Only now did they understand that this notorious bandit, who had roamed Small Xuan Region for so many years, indeed possessed remarkably powerful abilities.

“Zhou Yuan, be careful! He cultivates physical strength; his combat ability is extremely strong!” Yi Qiushui’s pretty face was solemn as she quickly warned.

“Kid, it’s still not too late to run. Otherwise, once I twist your head off, it’ll be too late for anything.” Xu Feng’s voice became extremely violent, filled with killing intent.

However, facing the now formidable Xu Feng, Zhou Yuan instead grinned. He twisted his neck and said, “It seems your years of living on the edge have been in vain…”

“You have no discerning eye at all.”

He slowly stepped his left foot forward diagonally and formed a hand seal.

This period of recuperation had truly made his bones feel a bit rusty… So, for this first battle after arriving in Primal Chaos Heaven, Zhou Yuan genuinely harbored a hint of anticipation.

Mystic Saint Body!

The moment Zhou Yuan’s hand seal was formed, the blood within his body suddenly boiled.

Then, Yi Qiushui and the others felt a slight shock as they sensed Zhou Yuan’s skin began to emit a dazzling jade light, and an astonishing pressure slowly emanated from his body.

That pressure made even Yi Qiushui’s heart skip a beat in that instant.

She bit her lip gently, her beautiful eyes flickering as she stared at the young figure before her. At this moment, in her eyes, he undoubtedly seemed to become somewhat mysterious.
