Chapter 359 Breakthrough, Mid Corporeal Stage! (2/2)

However, Xia Yu quickly slammed her foot into the ground, causing thick rock walls to rise from the mountain below her feet and block the glowing blade.

Swish! Swoosh!

Zhou Yuan took the initiative, sending out rune after rune with quick flicks of his hand. The Genesis Qi in the area stirred as a storm of attacks engulfed Xia Yu.

However, Xia Yu met Zhou Yuan’s offensive with a fearless smile. By tapping into the endless power from the boundary, she easily neutralized Zhou Yuan’s entire bombardment.

As Ye Ge had predicted, though advancing to the mid Corporeal stage had placed Zhou Yuan on the same level as Xia Yu, she still had the homeground advantage from the boundary.

In the boundary, she had access to its almost boundless power.

The best outcome Zhou Yuan could achieve was to drag the fight from his almost certain defeat to a stalemate.

But even if he managed to do so, his side would not be able to break out of the boundary.

In addition, both Zhou Yuan and Yaoyao would ultimately exhaust all of their energy as time passed, while Jin Zhang Xia Yu would remain undefeatable due to the boundary’s power.

Ye Ge was not the only one who came to this conclusion. As the fight between the two parties continued, more and more of the numerous disciples in front of Spirit Rune Hall also began to realize this.

“From the looks of it, Zhou Yuan won’t be able to win even after advancing to the mid Corporeal stage.”

“Turning around what looked to be almost certain defeat is already very amazing of him. He is no simple individual.”

“He does have some ability. Unfortunately, breaking through the boundary looked to be hopeless.”

“......”

A look of pity was likewise revealed on Su Wan’s face as she remarked, “Truly a pity that he’s still unable to obtain victory.”

This time, Gu Hongyi smiled faintly and said, “Senior sister Su Wan’s expectations are too high, it’s already very amazing for him to have forced little senior sister Xia Yu into a deadlock.”

She was clearly already very satisfied by Zhou Yuan’s performance today.

Su Wan nodded in agreement. A trace of graveness appeared in her eyes for the first time when she looked towards Zhou Yuan again. After the earlier breakthrough, he now had the qualifications for her to see him as an opponent.

“It seems that the outcome won’t change…”

...

Rumble!

Numerous Genesis Rune attacks collided against each other, quite a grand sight to behold.

Another wave of runes met, destroying each other.

Xia Yu looked at Zhou Yuan with her bright eyes and said, “Senior brother Zhou Yuan, why do you continue with this useless assault, it’s only a waste of energy.”

“Is that so?”

Zhou Yuan’s gaze flashed as the Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand suddenly jerked. Its snow-white brush hairs abruptly shot forth, wrapping around the mountain top below Xia Yu’s feet like a long white whip, as his figure was pulled towards the mountain in a flash.

Upon seeing this, Xia Yu pointed her brush, as a roaring stone serpent emerged and charged towards Zhou Yuan.

The Saint Rune in Zhou Yuan’s eyes spun as his figure shot into the stone serpent’s giant mouth. A few breaths later, a ripple violently pulsed from the serpent’s belly, the rune within its body destroyed by Zhou Yuan.

Boom!

The stone serpent’s body exploded into countless rock fragments.

A figure shot out, dashing up the mountain in a few breaths.

Xia Yu’s hands came together, the mountain top shuddering as countless sharp spikes rose from the ground, sealing off Zhou Yuan’s path.

However, Zhou Yuan was surprisingly quick. He shuttled past the countless earth spike, and appeared directly in front of Xia Yu like a phantom.

Xia Yu was naturally alarmed by Zhou Yuan’s sudden appearance before her, but immediately regained her calm as she weakly said, “Senior brother Zhou Yuan, we can’t rely on our Genesis Qi cultivation here, so it's useless even if you come all the way here.”

“Moreover, this is the core, making the power I can utilise here even stronger.”

The instant her words faded, the ground around her began to swell as rock wall after wall emerged, looming at Zhou Yuan from all directions.

Zhou Yuan looked at the young girl before him, whose seemingly weak appearance seemed to contain a sliver of cunningness, as he grinned and playfully said, “Is little senior sister Xia Yu really so confident in your Spirit?”

“If so, shall I test it?”

He suddenly took a step forward, his body nearly touching Xia Yu’s.

As his male presence swept over her, Xia Yu’s face turned a little red as she took half a step back in a somewhat panicked manner.

However, Zhou Yuan’s head suddenly loomed towards her, his face rapidly growing in Xia Yu’s eyes. Under her panicked and alarmed gaze, he gently placed his forehead against hers.

When their foreheads touched, they could both feel each other’s breaths, their faces practically meeting.

Xia Yu’s faec instantly turned beet-red.

Before she could cry out in embarrassment, however, her expression suddenly changed. She had felt Zhou Yuan’s Spirit ferociously charge towards her when their skin touched.

“Have a taste of the terror I’ve experienced.”

A low voice sounded in Zhou Yuan’s heart.

Xia Yu’s Spirit violently trembled, finding herself now in an endless starry sky. Her Spirit stood this starry sky as a seemingly endless mottled divine grindstone slowly loomed towards her, bringing with it the overwhelming aura of destruction.

In an instant, endless fear frantically rose in Xia Yu’s heart like weeds.
