When Ji Mo slowly collapsed to the ground, countless horrified eyes shifted to his side of the battlefield. This was particularly so for the Sacred Race experts. They couldn’t believe that the strongest Heavenly Sun expert of their Shengling Heaven would die here! 

Although Ji Mo had lost to Zhou Yuan before, he hadn’t died, and many people thought it was only because Ji Mo had underestimated Zhou Yuan’s strength. They had believed Ji Mo would wash away the humiliation if they faced each other again. 

But who would have thought that the second confrontation would end with Ji Mo’s death?

This was a huge blow to the Shengling Heaven’s morale.

The people from the Shengwang Heaven looked a little better, but they still stared vigilantly at Zhou Yuan. Although Ji Mo wasn’t as strong as Mi Shi, he was still one of their top experts. They originally thought they had dominated the battle after Guan Qinglong was sealed, but who would have thought that Zhou Yuan would kill Ji Mo at the most important juncture?

”Trash. He was killed by someone of a lowly race. The Shengling Heaven is getting worse.”

“Fortunately, Guan Qinglong has been sealed.”

“Yes, now that captain Mi Shi has made a move, if that kid dares come over, captain Mi Shi will make him understand the difference between the Shengwang Heaven and the Shengling Heaven.”

“...”

The Shengwang Heaven experts whispered to each other. It was clear that their morale was still high and they had the utmost confidence in Mi Shan and Mi Shi.

The people from the three great heavens cheered quietly. Their hearts went ice-cold the moment Guan Qinglong was sealed, but Zhou Yuan had injected hope into them once again. They hadn’t expected Zhou Yuan to defeat Mi Shi, but as long as he could stall for time till Guan Qinglong broke the seal, they would have the upper hand again. 

“That guy…”   

Jin Ling'er stared in a daze at Zhou Yuan's figure from afar, then couldn't help but wipe the beads of cold sweat from her face. Even though she had witnessed Zhou Yuan kill Ji Mo, she still couldn’t believe it. Ji Mo was the strongest Heavenly Sun expert from Shengling Heaven, and only Jiang Jinling was slightly stronger than him in the entire Wanshou Region. 

“He’s too abnormal…Little Ancestor was right.” 

Above the battlefield.   

Mi Shan's expression was dark and unpleasant as he swept a glance over Jiang Jinlin, who was breathing a sigh of relief. He said indifferently, “Do you think he can change anything just by killing Ji Mo? If he dares to obstruct Mi Shi, I think he will end up the same as Ji Mo.”

Jiang Jinlin said indifferently, “He just needs to last until Guan Qinglong breaks the seal.”

Although they were cooperating with Hunyuan Heaven, they still had a competitive relationship. If he wasn’t worried that their situation would collapse if Guan Qinglong failed to break the seal in time, Jiang Jinlin would be glad to see Guan Qinglong sealed.

If even Guan Qinglong is like that, Zhou Yuan must be nothing special.

“So ruthless. Your Mystic Dragon Clan is somewhat similar to my Sacred Race. Unfortunately, your foundation and background can’t be compared to my Sacred Race’s.” Mi Shan smiled contemptuously.

Jiang Jinlin’s expression turned icy. “My Mystic Dragon Clan originates from the creator of the Tianyuan World, the Ancestral Dragon!” 

“The Ancestral Dragon can transform into thousands of beings, but your Mystic Dragon Clan is nothing special. Don’t think just because your name has the word dragon in it that you can make such ridiculous claims.” Mi Shan laughed.

Anger surged in Jiang Jinlin’s eyes, and he could no longer suppress his killing intent. Mighty Genesis Qi gushed towards Mi Shan.

The two moved, and a fierce battle between the two broke out again.

...

On the other side of the battlefield.  

Guan Qinglong sat cross-legged on the ground as faint Genesis Qi circulated around him. Experts from the three great heavens rushed over to protect him. But even though they had the advantage in numbers, their bodies still tensed up, and their eyes filled with fear when they faced Mi Shi.

Mi Shi, however, paid no attention to them because he knew that his opponent had changed when Zhou Yuan killed Ji Mo.

Om.   

The space in front of him rippled, and a figure emerged. The figure, clasping the Heavenly Yuan Brush that was dripping blood from its tip, emitted a chilling fiendish aura.

However, the people behind him felt a weight lift off them when they saw who had arrived, and a look of awe came to their eyes.

“Senior brother Chu Qing, are you alright?" Zhou Yuan immediately turned to check on Chu Qing, who was covered in blood, when he appeared.

Chu Qing grinned and seemed to not care about his injuries. “I’m still fine. But if you came any later, I really would have died here.” 

Zhou Yuan smiled and then glanced at Su Youwei and Wu Yao, who were both a little pale-faced. If the two hadn’t appeared at the critical juncture and joined hands to help Guan Qinglong counter a killing attack, Guan Qinglong could have been in critical danger.

If Guan Qinglong had been killed, everyone’s morale would have suffered a huge blow, and it would have impacted the entire situation. At that time, even Zhou Yuan might not be able to save the situation. After all, many Hunyuan Heaven people had huge confidence in Guan Qinglong.

“Not bad. You managed to block that guy’s attack,” Zhou Yuan said with a chuckle. 

Wu Yao glared coldly at Zhou Yuan. “Are you mocking me?”

Zhou Yuan had killed Ji Mo, while she needed Su Youwei’s help to counter Mi Shi’s attack. The gap between them was obvious, and given how prideful Wu Yao was, why would she want to admit that Zhou Yuan was better than her, even if it was the truth?  

Su Youwei smiled sweetly and said, “Compared to Your Highness, the difference is huge, but I will try my best to catch up to Your Highness!” 

There was a world of difference between the two women’s reactions, making Zhou Yuan feel a little helpless. He could only wave his hand and say, “Escort captain Guan Qinglong to captain Ai Qing. I will deal with Mi Shi.”

“Your Highness, be careful. He’s extremely strong, and he possesses a Sacred Pupil. He’s much trickier to deal with than Ji Mo,” reminded Su Youwei. 

Zhou Yuan nodded.   

Su Youwei, Wu Yao, Chu Qing and the others didn’t stay any longer and swiftly retreated with Guan Qinglong.

Mi Shi didn’t pursue them and swept his gaze ruminatively up and down Zhou Yuan, saying, “I didn’t think Ji Mo would die in your hands.” 

Zhou Yuan also fixed his eyes on Mi Shi, and his expression tensed a little. Mi Shi gave him a much stronger sense of danger than Ji Mo. In addition, the Sacred Race’s Sacred Pupil was the most tricky to deal with since it contained many mysterious arts that were difficult to defend against. After all, it was precisely because of the ability of Mi Shi’s Sacred Pupil that Guan Qinglong was sealed.

“It will be a tough battle.” Zhou Yuan sighed deeply. It seemed that he mustn’t hold back if he wanted to defeat

Mi Shi.

“A tough battle?” 

Mi Shi tilted his head, smiling strangely. Light suddenly flowed around the Sacred Pupil between his brows as he said, “Zhou Yuan, do you really think you can challenge me because you killed Ji Mo? My Sacred Pupil has reached the three-star level, which is completely different from Ji Mo’s…If you still cherish your little life, I suggest you run away now like a stray dog.”

As he smiled, three star flecks gradually emerged within his Sacred Pupil, and a terrifying force caused the nearby space to vibrate. 

But Zhou Yuan remained expressionless to Mi Shi’s threat. A silver ball rolled out from his sleeve, turning into silver liquid. It formed a silver figure identical to him beside him. 

He pointed his Heavenly Yuan Brush to Mi Shi. 

“Is one of your Sacred Pupil’s abilities talking rubbish?”
