Chương 42: Chapter 42 - A Dragon is a Dragon after all.
Xiao TianXuan and Gu Ling followed by some people looked at the 2 Beast corpses in front of Zhou Yuan.
They shivered a bit as they realized that Zhou Yuan alone killed 2 such beasts when one alone could kill them all.
But they also sighed in relief as they looked at the now injured Zhou Yuan.
This guy was a bonafide monster.
Fortunately, he was injured giving them a chance to kill him and take the techniques for themselves.
Seeing that Zhou Yuan did not respond to his taunt, Xiao Tianxuan grew more courageous thinking that Zhou Yuan was anxious and possibly shaking in his boots right now.
"Weren't you being so arrogant before what happened to that now huh?"
"Why don't you beg for mercy by licking my shoe maybe I could leave you alive then"
From his side, Gu Ling finally decided to speak up.
"Hurry up and return the treasure of my clan, maybe you will get to keep your life".
But Zhou Yuan still kept looking down.
Other people whose pride was hurt by Zhou Yuan's Qi pillar also decided to pitch in and take out their frustration.
"Didn't you hear the little lord and Ms. Gu crippled Dragon? answer them."
"Hmph a crippled Dragon is a crippled Dragon in the end after all!"
"Yeah He thinks just because he achieved a high Qi pillar he can do everything"
"What is the use of a High Qi pillar when he is still at our mercy."
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan who was keeping his head down was trying his best not to start laughing out loud.
When he hunted the Wind Thunder beast he was worried that he could not find these people, who would have thought that they would deliver themselves at his door?
He was not going to laugh as this might make them escape.
"Maybe he is scared of us"
Hearing this comment, Zhou Yuan burst out laughing, his laughter was of genuine amusement and humor.
Other people who heard his laugh also stopped and looked at him.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan was laughing so hard that his Stomach started hurting.
"Hahahahahaha. Pfft, listen to what he says about me being scared of the likes of you."
Saying this he kept on laughing without care of other people who supposedly had him surrounded.
Xiao Tianxuan and his group of Lackeys also grew more scared as he continued to Laugh.
One must know that even though they were trash-talking Zhou Yuan right now, they were so scared of him that they dared not inch closer to him even though he looked injured.
But to see him laughing so jubiantly, made them sense something ominous.
"Hahahahahaha... Ouch," Zhou Yuan stopped abruptly as his excessive laughing hurt his already broken rib bone.
"Hmm.. anyways you wanna know how I fought these two beasts?", Zhou Yuan asked mysteriously.
They all involuntarily nodded their heads.
"I fought both of them at the same by using only my Genesis Qi"
"Do you know what this spells for all of you"
He didn't need to say anything as the people's faces around him had turned pale as they realized something.
"It means that I did not use my Spirit cultivation to fight against them."
"Now those low-class genesis runes you used to seal this area are trapping all of you here with me."
"So it is not me who is trapped in with all of you but you all who are trapped here with me"
Now let's start by strengthing those barriers" After, saying these he threw jade scrolls at each corner and reinforced the barrier with grade 4 runes.
"Sate to, now what should I do with you all", Zhou Yuan looked at them in amusement.
"If you want to live, leave all of your money, Genesis crystal, and treasures behind and you can go unharmed."
"As for you..", Zhou Yuan looked at Xiao Tianxuan before taking out his Heavenly Yuan Brush and swinging it directly in his direction while he used the 4th Rune.
'Million Whales'
Rumble!
Golden light erupted from the brush, filling the sky as it took the shape of a gargantuan Ancient Dragon Whale. As it swam in the sky, it seemed to pulse with boundless power.
The dragon whale howled, merging with the Heavenly Yuan Brush as they boldly advanced. In the end, they crashed into the giant green eagle under countless shocked gazes.
Boom!
At the moment of impact, an extremely berserk Genesis Qi shockwave violently swept outwards.
The smoke cleared and Xiao Tianxuan was standing there with a look of pain on his face.
"So, you used a genesis rune to counter that attack, I wonder how many such runes you have", Zhou Yuan said with a chuckle.
Hearing his laughter Xiao Tianxuan's face darkened.
"Omni Python Qi, Python Swallows the Heavens!"
The instant Zhou Yuan's voice was heard, the dark gold Genesis Qi storm around him suddenly expanded once again. One could only watch as a dark gold giant python emerged from the storm.
"What kind of Genesis technique is this?!" Xiao Tianxuan's complexion was ashen.
Zhou Yuan ignored the question. With a flick, the now much smaller dark gold python abruptly darted forward, heading straight for Xiao Tianxuan.
The python was extremely quick, appearing in front of Xiao Tianxuan in a flash.
Fear finally flitted across Xiao Tianxuan's eyes. He gritted his teeth as rapidly retreated, while another jade pendant appeared in his hand and was quickly snapped.
Bzz!
A circular shield of light appeared in front of him. It was another defensive Genesis treasure.
Boom!
The dark gold python slammed into the shield causing it to ripple violently.
Xiao Tianxuan continued to hurriedly flee backward as cracks began to appear on the shield.
His gaze flickered in the calculation. In the end, a grudging look flitted across his eyes as his figure retreated to Gu Ling's side, grabbing her wrist as he shouted, "Let's Go!"
A scroll appeared in his hand and was quickly torn. Rays of light instantly exploded from it, swallowing both of them.
However, the shield also broke at this moment.
There was no time for the python to bite them, but two small balls of blood-red Qi shot out from its mouth, burying themselves in Xiao Tianxuan's and Gu Ling's bodies.
The light below their feet grew brighter and brighter, evidently some kind of Genesis Rune used for escaping.
"You should leave behind something before you leave, right?"
A suction force emerged from the mouth of the python. Xiao Tianxuan could only helplessly as the Universe bag at his waist flew out and was swallowed by the python.
However, the Genesis Rune below his feet completed its activation at this moment. Light enveloped the two figures as they disappeared with a swish.
Now that Xiao Tianxuan matter was finished he turned his attention to the rest.
As if feeling his gaze on them, they quickly started taking out all their money and treasure.
Before leaving they even saluted Zhou Yuan and also thanked him for sparing their lives.
Zhou Yuan had to say that their skins were quite thick.
This is what Zhou Yuan calls, What goes around comes around.
They wanted to kill him and loot him but now they were the ones who got looted, and in the end, they still had to thank Zhou Yuan.
Seeing their thick skin Zhou Yuan had to admit that Birds of a feather flock together.
As all these people left, Zhou Yuan collapsed on the floor.
His body started twitching with pain and even Zhou Yuan's face was starting to show signs of pain.
While had no problems using Genesis Runes, using Genesis Qi in this condition further worsened his condition, while using Genesis Qi he could feel tremendous pain, it was like ten thousand ants were crawling under his skin.
He had tried his best to finish them quickly because if he delayed it, his body would start showing signs of pain. He had suppressed the pain and trembling of his body through sheer willpower.
The sky-splitting claw had done much more damage to him than imagined, he also felt that the attack had some of the residue Genesis Qi of the giant behemoth which was constantly corroding his muscles which prevented his natural healing.
'Note to self, before taking attacks like this head-on, start practicing external cultivation first.', Zhou Yuan thought with a grimace.
He shakily stood up to leave this place as more people could come here and if he further fought in this situation it might have some severe consequences.
Just as he stood up, he was embraced from behind.
Zhou Yuan reflexively relaxed.
"Idiot", A voice sounded, the voice sounded a little choked, Zhou Yuan could also feel his backside being wet.
It was Yao Yao.
Zhou Yuan was very shocked not because Yaoyao was hugging him but because she was crying.
This had not happened even in the cannon, she was mostly indifferent and showed some emotions only when it came to Tuntun or Zhou Yuan.
She only shed Tears on 2 occasions, and even that was in the finale.
Currently, Zhou Yuan is tightly hugged by Yaoyao.
"You.. idiot...you're injured to such an extent, why would you go far?", Yaoyao's voice sounded, she was still sobbing.
Yaoyao's spirit was very sensitive so she could sense how horrendously Zhou Yuan was injured.
Hearing this Zhou Yuan sighed softly before turning around and taking Yaoyao in his arms, he gently embraced her and gave her an answer which confused her.
"I want strength so that we can have a happy ending Yao Yao.", he said, his voice filled with resolve and determination.
He was telling the truth as Zhou Yuan wanted the best for his loved ones, without going through tragic separations.
Hearing his resolve Yaoyao was a little shaken, "A happy ending?"
"Yes, I want us to have a happy future, where you do not separate from me due to my powerlessness"
Hearing his words Yaoyao's face got red as she buried her face even deeper into his embrace.
She did not know why but she liked being in his embrace, she felt a sense of security from him that she had not experienced this security even when she was with Grandpa Hei.
It felt as if he would fight against the whole world to protect her.
And the fluffy feeling she felt in her stomach when he said those words to her.
But when she imagined a future without him in it she felt a very sharp pain in her heart.
Just the thought of him getting injured or dead made her feel overwhelming grief and anger.
As if sensing her emotions, Zhou Yuan gently rubbed her back.
"I promise you that I will never separate from you Yaoyao, even death cannot separate us"
Yaoyao nodded a little. To be honest this was the first time she felt such a range of emotions, they all seemed so foreign to her.
When they separated upon entering the saint's remains domain, Yaoyao had been thinking about Zhou Yuan a lot.
He filled her monotonous life with colors and his care and affection for her often made her feel bashful.
She also reflected on her relationship with Zhou Yuan, thinking that without him, her life would have no purpose, she would be lost, and she would be the same cold and indifferent person she was a year ago.
But after Zhou Yuan came into her life, she felt much more alive, she felt that she now had a purpose.
And that was to never separate from Zhou Yuan.
They stood in each other's embrace for a while before Yaoyao broke free from the hug.
"Take off your clothes", she said in a stern voice.
Understanding her intentions, Zhou Yuan sighed as he removed his upper garment,
His upper body which had defined abs and muscles that could make everyone envious was now accompanied by a wound.
The wound was on his arms and chest, and although Zhou Yuan had stopped his bleeding he could not completely heal it.
Yaoyao touched his bare body with her hands, as she traced his wounds she felt his Body tighten for a moment before relaxing, this was an obvious sign that this wound still hurt him.
"You're so reckless you know", she sighed with helplessness in her voice.
"I know but If I fear injuries then I am no different from those guys who were raised in a nursery-like environment."
Hearing his answer, Yaoyao sighed before she took his hand and started flying in a single direction, Zhou Yuan just allowed himself to be pulled by her as he knew that she must be doing so he could safely heal.
In some moments they reached a cave.
Yaoyao swiftly walked into the cave with Zhou Yuan.
After entering it she took out a Genesis Brush and started writing various barrier and concealment runes to isolate and protect this area.
Seeing this Zhou Yuan also took out some of the Jade scrolls which contained such runes before handing them to Yaoyao.
Yaoyao nodded in acknowledgment before she took them and swiftly used them.
After she was done she took Zhou Yuan's hand and started walking even deeper into the cave.
When they reached the deepest part of the cave, a different sight greeted Zhou Yuan's eyes.
Luminous herbs and plants light up the interior of the cave and in the end, there is a crystal-clear pool.
Zhou Yuan could feel Genesis Qi's undulation from the pool, he guessed that it should be some opportunity just like the golden pool.
"Go sit in that pool, it should help heal you.", Yaoyao said but for some reason, she had an unnatural blush on her face.
Zhou Yuan felt confused for a second but he guessed that she should be feeling bashful.
He entered the pool.
He floated on the surface and closed his eyes.
He was trying not to actively absorb the Genesis Qi as it could harm him, he was just trying to accelerate his natural healing process so that the wound would heal passively because using Genesis Qi to heal it would just worsen the wound.
On the other side, Yaoyao seemed to be hesitating about something before her eyes shined with determination.
Seeing that Zhou Yuan was floating on the pool with her eyes closed, she quickly undid her upper clothes and quietly entered the pool.
She exhaled lightly and gathered her courage before going towards Zhou Yuan.
She quickly embraced his broad and muscular back from behind.
It was at this moment that Zhou Yuan noticed Yaoyao hugging him as he was not very alert due to the absence of anyone except Yaoyao.
As soon as he felt her bare skin he was shocked and aroused at the same time.
"Yaoyao!! what are you doing?"
