Chapter 319: A Heaven-Shocking Palm: Zheng Ziyuan

Zheng Ziyuan was furious!

After his injuries recovered slightly, he immediately abandoned everything and charged toward that peak Martial King realm ferocious beast.

Unfortunately, that ferocious beast was not only powerful in cultivation but also extremely cunning; it merely kept driving the army of ferocious beasts to exhaust his origin energy and would not engage him head-on. After his three bottles of origin-restoring medicinal pills were depleted, he still had not gotten a single step closer to that ferocious beast.

This time!

Zheng Ziyuan was truly incensed!

He swore that he must kill that ferocious beast, otherwise he would never leave.

Zhang Chi was helpless and could only fight alongside him.

Zhang Chi's cultivation had long since reached the peak Martial King realm; in truth, he did not fear that peak Martial King realm ferocious beast at all, but here, every bit of origin energy consumed was one bit less, making Zhang Chi not dare to strike with his full strength.

And under the continuous consumption by those ferocious beasts.

The origin energy within the two men's bodies had gradually withered away!

If they didn't leave now!

They would truly be surrounded and killed here!

"If this continues, we won't be able to kill it. Why don't you activate the King Qian Peerless Order that Teacher improved?" Zhang Chi said while casually killing a ferocious beast.

"No, using Teacher's spiritual seal to kill this kind of ferocious beast is simply an insult to Teacher. I must kill it with my own hands."

Zheng Ziyuan roared in anger.

Within his body, terrifying power gathered continuously.

Before him, a palm print condensed incessantly. Within that palm print, infinite origin energy gathered, blooming with a terrifying power of destruction, and he blasted it forward with one strike.

"Zhang Chi, this is a palm technique I comprehended with the help of Teacher's Heaven Origin Strike. I originally intended to present it to you and that fellow Mo Lingfei to avenge the miserable defeats of those years. Open your eyes wide and watch closely."

Boom—!

The palm print towered over the sky!

It instantly cleared away more than ten ferocious beasts blocking the path and landed on that peak Martial King realm ferocious beast.

"Roar!"

That peak Martial King realm ferocious beast had not expected that human brat to have such a fierce attack. It let out a miserable roar and drove all its power to block.

Finally, before its origin energy was exhausted, it blocked it!

It was very clear!

If not for those ten-plus ferocious beasts blocking the way, in a head-on confrontation, it absolutely would not have been able to withstand it.

"Kill them for me!"

That peak Martial King realm ferocious beast roared angrily.

Its origin energy was almost exhausted!

In this God-Demon Battlefield, it could not obtain any replenishment; its fate was almost already decided. To be forced to this point by that human despite being so careful, how could it not be angry?

"Roar!"

From all directions.

Countless ferocious beasts roared and rapidly swarmed toward Zhang Chi and Zheng Ziyuan.

And after that one strike.

The origin energy in Zheng Ziyuan's body was exhausted!

Zhang Chi grabbed him to steady him and smiled bitterly: "You really are vengeful!"

Back then, Zheng Ziyuan was arrogant and conceited, refusing to take Lu Li as his teacher. Later, after witnessing Lu Li's power, he became determined to apprentice himself. To temper him, Lu Li told him to defeat any one of those ten-plus students before coming to apprentice.

From then on!

Zheng Ziyuan began a months-long path of miserable defeats!

Although he was eventually able to enter Lu Li's sect, that feeling of unwillingness still remained.

In the few years since breaking through to the Martial King realm, he had focused solely on cultivation, all to comprehend a powerful strike to defeat the two strongest, Mo Lingfei and Zhang Chi. As for the others, they were not within his targets.

Zhang Chi heard him speak like this.

Naturally, he instantly guessed the purpose of him comprehending this palm technique.

However...

"I have also gained much in these few years. To defeat me with this strike, you are still quite far off."

Zhang Chi glanced at Zheng Ziyuan.

He prepared not to activate the teleportation array and not to get entangled here.

But the next moment, before his eyes, the bodies of all the ferocious beasts burst apart on their own, spreading to the end of the hundreds of beasts surrounding them, even that peak Martial King was the same.

"Teacher!"

Zhang Chi looked up.

Upon seeing the figure that appeared in the sky, he revealed a look of pleasant surprise.

Seeing this, Zheng Ziyuan also forced himself to stand up.

"Greetings, Teacher!"

Lu Li looked at Zheng Ziyuan and nodded gently: "You are quite good!"

Back when Zheng Ziyuan was still in the Zheng family, he had challenged many geniuses of the younger generation without a single defeat. From that time on, he knew Zheng Ziyuan's talent was no less than Mo Lingfei's.

The only flaw!

Was that arrogant mindset!

However, after his deliberate suppression and the tempering of several ferocious beast battles, this mindset had also changed.

Now, he could finally truly display his own talent.

Lu Li did not say anything more.

With a casual wave of his hand.

He sent those two back to Blue Star.

"Now, it is time to go find the other two!"

Jiang Wuyan and Ouyang Xue!

In Lu Li's previous sensing, he had unexpectedly not discovered their tracks.

This made Lu Li feel somewhat strange.

In a mere few days, those two should not have been able to run out of his sensing range, yet their auras had vanished.

"Could it be that they went into some kind of environment capable of shielding auras?"

Lu Li's brows furrowed slightly.

If that were the case.

Finding those two would likely not be easy.

"According to what Zhang Chi said, Ouyang Xue headed in the southeast direction."

In his mind.

The voice of the Feather Saint arrived just then.

Hearing this voice.

Lu Li did not hesitate.

He flashed, intending to head toward the southeast.

But just at this moment, from high above, three powerful auras arrived.

"Human, do not run!"

Boom—!

Three massive figures descended.

Under Lu Li's perception, these three fierce beasts had all reached the Saint Realm; clearly, his actions just now had startled them, causing them to rush over.

"Human, relying on your powerful cultivation to kill our fierce beast kings, you are truly arrogant!"

"Hmph, now that the three of us Saints have arrived, you no longer have a chance."

"Obediently go to your death!"

The three Saint Realm fierce beasts spoke one after another.

Then, three powerful sources of Saint essence condensed and emerged.

But just as those three sources were continuing to grow, the three Saint Realm fierce beasts had all their essence shattered by a point of extreme starlight that suddenly appeared.

"I don't have time to waste on you!"

Before the three Saint Realm fierce beasts fell, they heard this disdainful voice arrive.

Southeast direction!

Lu Li traveled a million miles, yet he still did not find Ouyang Xue's tracks.

And during this process, no more fierce beasts pursued him.

Clearly, after Lu Li took action to kill those three Saint Realm fierce beasts, any fierce beast wanting to continue the pursuit would have to think carefully.

"Strange, where exactly did she go? Could she have changed direction halfway?"

Lu Li's voice was low.

Those thirty-six people only carried three bottles of spiritual medicine for recovering essence each; Ouyang Xue had been missing for over five days. If she hadn't encountered a fierce beast battle, it would be fine, but if she truly encountered one, she would be unable to hold out for long.

Just as he was becoming somewhat anxious, several human figures flew past at high speed.

"News has come that an anomaly has occurred on the God-Demon Battlefield ten thousand miles from here; we must rush over to see."

"The God-Demon Battlefield has been left behind since ancient times; although it lacks spiritual power, it never lacks opportunities. This time, we must participate."

"Indeed, with opportunities in hand, perhaps we can kill a few more fierce beasts."
