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

In the face of this attack, Zhou Yuan was unable to avoid no matter how fast he was.

As he gazed upon the green sword light that seemed to fill the sky and land, Zhou Yuan’s pupils shrank slightly. His body immediately etherealized, turning slightly transparent.

“Ethereal Form!”

“Heavenly Serpent Scales!”

With a shout, light azure scales appeared and covered his entire body.

Zhou Yuan did not stop after taking these defensive measures. He rolled up his sleeves as a rune surfaced on his arm. The rune flickered with a glossy glow, a sign that it had been prepared some time ago.

“Golden Glass Body Rune!”

In the wake of his yell, the rune instantly began to spread, as a glass like look surged out and enveloped Zhou Yuan’s body.

Under the glass like glow, even the Heavenly Serpent Scales took on a glassy hue.

The current Zhou Yuan looked like a statute. However, his defensive power had become shockingly terrifying.

Cling! Clang!

The countless tiny green sword light arrived just as Zhou Yuan had finished his preparations. Crisp and clear sounds of collision echoed in the mountain peak.

Like a storm of green swords was violently raining down upon the land.

Outside the mountain range, numerous disciples swallowed when they saw this scene. The fights on the other nine peaks were still in the warm-up phase, while Zhou Yuan and Xu Yan had already unleashed their killing intent, showing no mercy against each other.

A disciple sighed and said, “Xu Yan is too vicious. The fight has only just begun, and yet he has already unleashed his signature move, Green Moon Millimeter Sword. Even normal purple sash disciples would have no choice but to retreat if they were up against this attack.”

“He has no choice. Zhou Yuan eliminated the entire Sword Cometh Peak team previously. Therefore, Xu Yan must thoroughly thrash Zhou Yuan in order to restore some dignity for his peak.”

“I wonder if Zhou Yuan will survive this barrage…”

“......”

Amidst the numerous whispers, the rain of tiny green swords slowly began to thin, before finally ceasing.

Countless gazes immediately looked over.

Countless holes had been poked into the ground. Though each hole was the size of a little finger, they were completely pitch-black, and it was impossible to see to the bottom.

At the center of the destruction, Zhou Yuan stood with his arms crossed in front of him. Needle like green sword light seemed to cover every inch of his body, making him look similar to a hedgehog. It was a painful sight to behold.

Xu Yan’s eyes narrowed as he stared at this scene.

Crack!

A soft cracking sound was heard from Zhou Yuan’s body.

The glass-like scales swiftly began to shatter. As they broke, the tiny green swords stuck in them also fell off.

A few breaths passed.

All the glass like scales had fallen off, returning Zhou Yuan’s body to its original color.

Numerous tiny red dots were visible on his body, blood seeping out from them. It was a very pitiful state.

However, Xu Yan snorted as he mocked, “Your turtle shell is really tough.”

These were merely superficial wounds. With his Ethereal Form, Heavenly Python Scales and the defensive rune, Zhou Yuan had managed to block the brunt of the onslaught.

This made Xu Yan’s expression turn rather ugly.

He had initially thought that this move would be enough to leave Zhou Yuan helpless on the ground.

Zhou Yuan looked at the countless bloody dots on his arms as his expression turned slightly icy. This was the first time since joining the Cangxuan Sect that he had faced so much pressure in a fight.

The seventh layer Alpha-Origin stage was formidable indeed.

However, even if Xu Yan was a ferocious tiger, he had better be prepared to break his teeth if he wanted to bite a hard stone like Zhou Yuan!

Boom!

Zhou Yuan’s cheeks inflated as he blew out a stream of Genesis Qi that turned into a gale and swept up the dust on the ground.

His figure vanished into the storm of dust.

“Advanced Ethereal Form… you are indeed skilled at hiding.” Xu Yan let out an icy chuckle when he saw Zhou Yuan’s figure disappear, the icy glow in his eyes growing even harsher and brighter.

“To think that you would dare to launch a counter attack, how brave of you…”

“Alright then. I will make you understand… how it feels to be an ant shaking a tree!”
