Chapter 378 Strenuous Battle against Xu Yan (1/2)

Buzz!

An eight hundred foot tall dark green Genesis Qi pillar rose into the sky, stirring the wind and clouds as a powerful sword aura pulsed from it, causing the entire area to be filled with the cry of a sword.

Xu Yan immediately displayed the astonishing might of a seventh layer Alpha-Origin expert.

The expression on Zhou Yuan’s face grew increasingly grim as he tightened his grip on the Heaven Yuan Brush. He did not dare to underestimate such a formidable opponent.

Boom!

When Xu Yan’s Genesis Qi charged into the sky, nine other powerful Genesis Qi pillars also erupted on the other nine peaks, each one reaching the strength of the seventh layer Alpha-Origin stage.

Evidently, the fights on the other nine peaks had also began.

However, compared to Xu Yan’s Genesis Qi, the other nine powerful Genesis Qi pillars seemed to be holding back a little. Just like what Xu Yan had said earlier, they were purposefully holding back out of consideration for their junior brothers and sisters...

However, it was clear that Xu Yan had no intentions of doing so.

In fact, even the many disciples outside the mountain range could detect this as well.

However, they could only sigh in pity with regards to this. Zhou Yuan was truly unfortunate. Out of all the possible opponents, he just had to bump into Xu Yan from Sword Cometh Peak. Anyone else would have most likely gone easy on Zhou Yuan.

In the river around the mountain range, Lu Xuanyin flew out from the water and tumbled onto the river bank. She lifted her head to look at that powerful Genesis Qi that had erupted from a certain mountain peak, as a look of hatred flashed in her eyes.

She had lost all face in front of Zhou Yuan earlier.

Though she resented him, she was also very fearful of him. The heartless ferocity in Zhou Yuan’s eyes earlier as he thrust his brush towards her had sent a chill through her heart.

As a result, she no longer had the courage to oppose Zhou Yuan. However, it seemed that Zhou Yuan had finally used up all of his blessings. To think that he would be unlucky enough to encounter Xu Yan.

“Zhou Yuan, it’s too early for your to celebrate. Senior brother Xu Yan will make you understand how stupid it is to offend our Sword Cometh Peak!”

“Don’t even think about advancing any further in this purple sash selection. As for the championship title, you can dream on!”

...

Clap!

On the mountain peak, Xu Yan sneered as he suddenly slammed his palms together.

Swoosh!

That eight hundred foot tall dark green Genesis Qi pillar suddenly split apart, transforming into dozens of light rays as they fell from the sky. Each ray was in the shape of a sword, pulsing with an incomparably sharp aura as they descended.

Their speed was as quick as lightning.

The sound of rushing wind echoed from above Zhou Yuan. His figure instantly etherealized as he quickly retreated like a wisp of smoke.

Boom! Boom!

Streaks of dark green Genesis Qi viciously rained down. They struck the ground like giant swords, leaving deep scars behind.

Every blast of green Genesis Qi that landed would give rise to a destructive shockwave.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yuan was akin to a leaf boat floating on the waves, wobbling precariously at every gust of wind. His surroundings were filled with danger, and a single slip was all it would take to capsize him.

The final stream of green Genesis Qi landed.

Zhou Yuan’s feet slid across the ground, leaving two long trails upon it. His expression was extremely grim, because there were now numerous small wounds on the surface of his body.

These wounds had been caused by the sword aura from the green Genesis Qi.

“As expected of a veteran purple sash disciple.”

Zhou Yuan wiped off the blood on the back of his hand. Not only did Xu Yan have strong and robust Genesis Qi, his Genesis Qi had also reached the grade 6 level. As such, his Genesis Qi was able to invade the opponent’s body at even the slightest contact. If not for the fact that Zhou Yuan’s Omni Python Qi was of a higher grade, just the sword like Genesis Qi that invaded his body alone would give him a huge headache.

According to his estimates, Xu Yan’s Genesis Qi should be at the low tier grade 6.

Fortunately for Zhou Yuan, his Omni Python Qi was at the peak of grade 6. This was perhaps one of the few advantages that he had over Xu Yan.

Upon seeing that Zhou Yuan’s Genesis Qi had not been disrupted even with the many wounds on his body, Xu Yan raised his brows and said, “Your Genesis Qi is quite high quality huh… to think that you are able to withstand my low tier grade 6 Green Moon Sword Qi.”

It was clear that Zhou Yuan had neutralized all the Green Moon Sword Qi that had invaded his body.

“But this even better. I need not worry about breaking you…” The corners of Xu Yan’s mouth raised slightly, filled with a chilling sensation.

His foot slammed into the ground the instant his words faded.

Boom!

Green Genesis Qi swept forth from under his feet like a shockwave, spreading across the entire arena in the blink of an eye.

“Green Moon Millimeter Sword!”

Buzz!

The Green Genesis Qi vibrated as it seemed to unravel, transforming into innumerable tiny hair-like green sword light. A split second later, hundreds of millions of sword light shot towards Zhou Yuan.
