Chapter 48: Total Annihilation

  Total Annihilation

  Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand and pointed, immediately, a dazzling lightning bolt heavily struck towards Hua Yingxiong. He had just cast out countless ice crystals to kill Yang Lie, and for the time being, he couldn't spare any hands to block the flying lightning.

  Rumble...

  Ah...

  Ah...

  Two miserable cries rang out, Hua Yong was struck by Zhou Yuan's Thunderbolt Technique, his entire body charred and blackened, skin cracked and flesh burst open, blood flowing from all over his body, clearly severely injured.

  Yang Lie was also unable to dodge the countless ice crystals fired by Hua Yingxiong, and his body was also pierced with countless wounds. Both of their bodies were covered in blood, a truly shocking sight.

  "Brother Zhou, kill him quickly! I'm seriously injured and can't let him catch his breath. You must kill him!" Yang Lie said to Zhou Yuan with great urgency, enduring immense pain.

  Zhou Yuan nodded, "Don't worry, I will naturally kill him!"

  Having said that, Zhou Yuan walked in front of Hua Yingxiong, who was now covered in blood and seriously injured. His strength had almost been exhausted, and he didn't have any power to fight back, so he could only glare fiercely at Zhou Yuan.

  "This brother, you are a rare and precious Law Master of the Thunder System, one that appears only once in a thousand years. I lost to you, and I admit it with a humble heart. But someone as talented as you, are you really willing to follow behind Yang Lie?" Hua Yingxiong asked, not giving up yet, his words laced with provocation.

  Zhou Yuan smiled coldly, "What you said is correct, I am a Thunder System mage, one that appears only once in a thousand years. With such a noble status, it's natural that I wouldn't stoop to the level of others."

  Hua Yong's face lit up with joy, thinking that this was an opportunity. "Brother, as long as you leave Yang Lie, the Hero's Association will be yours, and from now on, you'll be the master of the house. I'll also follow you closely, what do you say?"

  "Not so good, just a group of robbers, what great achievements can they have? I won't accept you, nor will I follow you. I'll kill all of you shameless people. What you said is right, how can I bear to be below someone like Yang Lie? You're definitely going to die today, but don't worry, Yang Lie won't escape death either." Zhou Yuan said with a cold smile.

  Yang Lie's face changed drastically, "Brother Zhou, you must be joking."

  After speaking, Yang Lie looked back at his body, hoping that those brothers in the Yuanyuan realm could gather around him and let him have something to rely on. However, he was very disappointed. Just as Zhou Yuan was about to defeat Hua Hero, those brothers of the Alliance had already killed their way into the Heroes' Assembly like a hot knife through butter.

  The two gangs of robbers had already been fighting together in confusion, and there was still one person left behind him.

  "Are you kidding me? Do I look like I'm joking? Let me tell you the truth, now that I've joined the Brotherhood Alliance, my goal is to wipe out all of you thieves and bandits, kill every last one of you, and completely annihilate your kind!"

  "You..."

  Zhou Yuan glared fiercely at Yang Lie, and as soon as he felt Zhou Yuan's intense killing intent erupting out, Yang Lie immediately shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

  At this time, Zhou Yuan had already made his move. His right hand shot out like lightning, pointing directly at Hua Yingxiong's head. Hua Yingxiong wanted to dodge, but he was already severely injured, and even if he hadn't been injured, he wouldn't have been a match for Zhou Yuan, let alone in this situation.

  Zhou Yuan's palm shot out, not giving Hua Hero a chance to resist, and directly slapped onto his head. A powerful suction force was immediately unleashed, and in an instant, it sucked out all the yuan power from Hua Hero's body, transforming it into Zhou Yuan's own strength.

  Turning his head, Zhou Yuan coldly looked at Yang Lie, his eyes full of murderous intent. "Yang Lie, it's your turn."

  "No... No... No..." Yang Lie's whole body began to tremble as he stared at the desiccated corpse of Hua Yong, his fear reaching a boiling point. He backed away slowly, shaking his head repeatedly.

  However, it was all in vain. Zhou Yuan took a stride forward and reached out with one hand, just like killing a hero, and sucked out all the yuan force from his body, leaving Huawei a dry corpse.

  Up to now, Zhou Yuan's mission to eradicate the bandits in Tie Zhen Mountain has been half completed. The two leaders of the Shizhuan boundary have already been beheaded, and the remaining ones are not worth worrying about.

  "My mission is to eliminate the bandits of Iron Mountain, but I'll buy one get one free, and also eradicate the heroes of Qingmu Mountain, it's all for the sake of doing something for the people!!"

  At this time, all the robbers, whether they were from the Hero Association or the Brothers Alliance, were stunned. They had just witnessed Zhou Yuan beheading Hua Yingxiong and Yang Lie, and they couldn't understand why Zhou Yuan would suddenly turn around and kill Yang Lie after killing Hua Yingxiong.

  "Zhou Yuan, you......" The third brother of the Brothers' Alliance said angrily, "You actually killed Big Brother, what kind of person are you, why did you do this!"

  "Ha ha, I am what kind of person, you have no right to know now. Today, my purpose is to kill all of you. None of you will escape today, all of you just wait for death obediently, so as not to suffer that pain!"

  "Zhou Yuan, you beast! We brothers have treated you with great kindness. Moreover, we have no recent grievances or past hatred towards you. Why do you want to slaughter us all?"

  "Have you wronged them recently, or have they been your enemies in the past?" Zhou Yuan's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a powerful killing intent burst out. "What grievances do those ordinary people have against you that you want to exterminate them? Those weak women, you lock them up and do beastly things to them. Have you ever thought that they also have dignity? The crimes you've committed, I'd kill you a hundred times and it still wouldn't be enough to vent my anger! Now, all of you should go die!!"

  "Brothers, let's join hands! He is a master of the Art of Technique realm. Our strength cannot be dispersed, otherwise, we will definitely be defeated one by one. At that time, we will all be doomed to death without a doubt. The brothers of Hero Will, our leader has already died, and even if there is a great hatred, it has passed. Now we must survive, if we don't join hands, we will definitely die without a doubt. How about forming an alliance now?" A brother from the Yuan Boundary realm shouted.

  Immediately, the heroic robbers also shouted in unison.

  "What about you? Without Yang Lie and Hua Yong, you're nothing but a bunch of useless trash! Now, all of you go die!!" As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Yuan raised his hand and shook it, the long knife behind him immediately shattered the cloth strips that wrapped around it, revealing dazzling light.

  Zhou Yuan stretched out his hand and grasped it, the golden long knife was already in his hand, with a brilliant light of ten thousand meters, revealing an unimaginable power.

  Purple Lightning Blade, this is Zhou Yuan's first display of it.

  "Thunderbolt Sword Aura!!" Zhou Yuan slashed out with one knife, this time he used the Purple Thunder Knife to cast the Thunderbolt Sword Aura spell, and it didn't look awkward at all, but instead had a natural and effortless feel.

  Zilei knife one slash kill out, immediately nearly hundred sword energy chop kill while out, towards all of the bandits wrapped past.

  Pfft...

  Pfft...

  All the bandits, whether in the flesh or in the gathering realm, their strength seemed so insignificant in front of Zhou Yuan that they didn't even have a chance to dodge before being pierced by these suddenly arriving sword auras.

  Zhou Yuan's right hand held a knife, his left hand quickly reached out, the War God Magic Scripture was activated, and the thieves' vital energy and yuan force were all absorbed into his body, refined and used by him.

  In less than half an hour, the two groups of bandits were all beheaded by Zhou Yuan, turning into dry corpses. With his body full of energy and vitality, he had just absorbed the essence and yuan force of everyone, and his strength took another big step forward.

  He had successively absorbed two masters of the Jiedan stage and dozens of Yuanyuan stage cultivators, causing Zhou Yuan's strength to increase by several months of cultivation. He was now taking big strides towards the Jin Dan stage.

  However, breaking through the Golden Core realm is not that easy. Even if Zhou Yuan absorbs enough yuan energy, without the method of forming a core, he still cannot break through to the Golden Core realm.

  When the Fa master's boundary is upgraded, he will encounter many watersheds. Every time he crosses a watershed, the Fa master's strength increases greatly. Among them, from Yuanyuan to Shizhu boundary, it is a watershed, because once you reach the Shizhu boundary, you can summon spells out of thin air, with incredible power.

  And the boundary of the practice realm to the Golden Elixir Realm is another watershed, because the Golden Elixir Realm has one more golden elixir compared to the practice realm.

  In the body of a practitioner, yuanli exists in a liquid state, just like human blood, flowing through the body and being affected by physical strength. The amount of yuanli stored in the human body has its limits, once it reaches a certain amount, it can no longer absorb yuanli, just like Zhou Yuan's cultivation will encounter saturation.

  But if one breaks through to the Golden Core realm, then their body can store more yuan power, because the Golden Core is solidified yuan power. It can be said that one Golden Core is equivalent to dozens of times the amount of liquid yuan power.

  Imagine two people fighting, one side's yuan force is ten times that of the other. Unless the weaker side has some heaven-defying magic, they will undoubtedly lose.

  Among mages with similar strength, what they compete against each other is the majesty of their yuan power. Whoever has more majesty will be the one smiling in the end.

  Zhou Yuan's yuan power is becoming increasingly majestic, and soon his body will be saturated, unable to advance further. If he still can't find a way to condense into the Golden Core, Zhou Yuan's strength will stagnate.

  "With one breath, I've killed so many people and absorbed so much of their vital energy. It's truly exhilarating! My strength has increased by at least double!" Zhou Yuan couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

  The task is complete, Zhou Yuan should also return to Zhenwu Academy.

  This task, Zhou Yuan completed in just two days, not because the task was not difficult, but because Zhou Yuan is proficient in calculation, has strong strength, and has unparalleled wisdom. This kind of person is the most terrifying, and Zhou Yuan is this kind of person.

  If Zhou Yuan were to reveal his true identity, although there would be no danger to his life, it would be impossible to complete the task. If the other party knew that Zhou Yuan was there to kill them and was also an extremely powerful Thunder System mage, then Hua Yingxiong would have already formed an alliance with Yang Lie. At that time, Zhou Yuan would also be in extreme danger.

  So Zhou Yuan chose to join one side, and let the two sides fight each other until they were both wounded. At that time, he revealed his true identity and killed all the bandits with one blow, and he himself also gained great benefits from it.

  That is Zhou Yuan's wisdom.

  "The task is complete, it's time to return to Zhenwu Academy. This Qian Man is unpredictable, I don't know what other tricks he has up his sleeve to deal with me, it's really a headache. This time back, I'll think of a way to completely resolve this matter once and for all. If all else fails, I'll just assassinate one of the princes..."
