In a devastated forest.

　　Zhou Yuan involuntarily frown at the sight of two individuals who had walked out from the fog, Wu Huang and the youth in black robes.

　　"You've teamed up with the Dongxuan people?"

　　Wu Huang indifferently replied, "Short-sighted. The future me will not be limited to a mere continent. Why should my Cangmang Continent ident.i.ty restrict me?"

　　"How shameless." Luluo sneered.

　　"You colluded with these Dongxuan people to gang up on Yaoyao. You truly are the worst."

　　Wu Huang shook his head, his voice unchanged as he said, "The only truth is that the victor is right, and the process is of little importance. Since there was a stumbling block in my way, I will naturally have to remove it."

　　Zhou Yuan swept a gaze towards him. "It's a pity that you even threw away your face, but were still unable to achieve your goal."

　　Wu Huang's expression finally turned slightly rigid, his gaze somewhat frosty as he stared at Zhou Yuan and said, "Finding you here is an unexpected but pleasant surprise. I heard that you are on pretty good terms with Zhou Xiaoyao, am I right? If you are caught and used as bait, do you think that he will still choose to come even though it's clearly a trap?"

　　Boom!

　　Wu Huang was swift and decisive, powerful Genesis Qi exploding from his body like a storm at his final word. His Genesis Qi was akin to a scorching sun, s.h.i.+ning brilliantly with awe-inspiring power.

　　Swis.h.!.+

　　He was extremely quick, appearing in front of Zhou Yuan in a single step.

　　The tip of Zhou Yuan's foot also pushed off the ground as his figure rapidly retreated.

　　However, Wu Huang was like a shadow, sticking close to Zhou Yuan no matter how hard the latter tried to escape. Indifference was the only thing on the latter's face as a punch was sent flying.

　　Scarlet-red light blossomed, appearing below the fist like a dazzling sun. The punch caused the surrounding s.p.a.ce to ripple slightly, while the air around turned blazing hot.

　　Wu Huang displayed extreme power, power that was even more domineering and unreasonable than Zhu Ying's.

　　Zhou Yuan's pupils tightened slightly as the punch whizzed towards him. There was no hesitation whatsoever as Genesis Qi surged within his body, causing golden Magical Python Scales to emerge on his fist.

　　"Magical Python Scales!"

　　"Grade 3 Genesis Rune, Black Gold Hand Rune!"

　　Zhou Yuan also sent out a punch, a black glow sweeping across the golden scales, giving it a blackish gold l.u.s.ter that seemed impenetrable.

　　Boom!

　　The two fists slammed into each other, cold cruelness flitting across Wu Huang's eyes as he said in a chilling voice, "Do you believe that you will possess the qualifications to face me head-on because you reached the Heaven Gate stage? Naive!"
