As Yuan Hong's deep voice boomed across the cultivation platform, a heart palpitating Genesis Qi pressure slowly spread from his body.

　　Crack!

　　Crack after crack began to grow from the ground under his feet.

　　Yuan Hong's clothes loudly flapped without wind.

　　Some of the nearby figures could not help but back away to create some distance, their eyes filled with terror.

　　Pleased looks flowed out in the eyes of Lu Hong's disciples as they viciously glared at Zhou Yuan. To think that this foolish kid actually dared to act so arrogantly before senior brother Yuan Hong. This truly was seeking one's own humiliation.

　　In comparison, worried looks appeared on the faces of Shen Taiyuan's disciples.

　　"Zhou Yuan is way too reckless." Lu Yan could not help but remark. Throwing Wu Hai down the cliff in front of Yuan Hong was basically a clear provocation.

　　Although it was very relieving to watch, angering Yuan Hong was obviously not a rational choice.

　　Though she did not know how Zhou Yuan had defeated the unprepared Wu Hai, Yuan Hong and Wu Hai were clearly on different levels.

　　Zhou Yuan could likewise feel the pressure pulsing from Yuan Hong's body, causing his eyes to narrow slightly. The one who managed to become the strongest and most popular contender for the upcoming Saint Genesis Peak chief disciple selection was indeed a formidable individual.

　　However, Zhou Yuan did not give in.

　　He had been relatively compliant in the past, but it seemed that his tolerance had instead been viewed as a display of weakness, which led to Wu Hai and gang actually daring to do such a thing to his close friend.

　　If he so easily let Wu Hai off today, such incidents would never stop. Hence, even when Yuan Hong appeared, Zhou Yuan had no intentions of patching things up but instead chose to proceed in the most uncompromising manner.

　　Jade light flowed on the surface of Zhou Yuan's body as Genesis Qi star after star began to light up in his Qi Dwelling, surging towards his four limbs.

　　Meanwhile, he made a grabbing motion with his hand, causing the Heavenly Yuan Brush to fly over from its snug spot in the cliff.

　　In the face of an opponent like Yuan Hong, Zhou Yuan clearly did not dare to show any negligence.

　　The tip of the brush was pointed towards the ground at an angle as Zhou Yuan calmly said, "Senior brother Yuan Hong, since Wu Hai has done something wrong, he will naturally have to pay for his actions. This is something no one can change."

　　A faint hint of mockery rose from the corners of Yuan Hong's mouth. "Even if a disciple from our faction has done something wrong, we will naturally be the ones to discipline him. What right do you think you have?"

　　"Even Zhao Tai and Zhang Yan do not dare to be so unbridled before me. What more the likes of you?!"

　　"You dare to throw my junior brother down the cliff in front of me? Since that is the case, you shall accompany him at the bottom!"

　　Boom!

　　The instant Yuan Hong's final words thundered, an extremely powerful surge Genesis Qi abruptly exploded from his body. It transformed into a several hundred feet wide giant hand that ferociously swung down onto Zhou Yuan.

　　The surging power within it was enough to split mountains.

　　The Genesis Qi hand swatted with matchless violence, creating a palm print on the ground even before it landed.

　　Yuan Hong's attack revealed his astonis.h.i.+ng strength. In the face of this hand attack, the expressions of every disciple present changed.

　　Zhou Yuan's eyes widened slightly, similarly feeling the overwhelming power in Yuan Hong's attack. The former tightened his grip around the Heavenly Yuan Brush, ready to meet this formidable foe with his full might.

　　"Stop!"
