Chapter 956 Top Battle (1/2)
The two region’s teams that were waiting outside burst into cheers when they saw the boundary showing signs of collapsing.
“Is this a sign the boundary is going to break?” Yi Qiushui asked in a surprised voice.
Yuan Kun glanced at her and scrunched his brows in a frown. He said hesitantly, “I’m afraid not...”
“The golden light barrier is shrinking, but it is a rhythmic controlled shrinkage. It’s more dangerous now than it was before.”
Yuan Kun’s narrowed eyes suddenly glinted fiercely. “Jiu Gong has taken over!”
“Jiu Gong?” Yi Qiushui exclaimed. “Wasn’t she controlling the boundary before?”
“It should be Xue Jingtao who was controlling the boundary before. Jiu Gong is extremely arrogant, so she must have thought Zhou Yuan couldn’t break through the golden light barrier and didn’t intend to do anything at the start.
“But Zhou Yuan's ability clearly exceeded her expectations...he must have caused the signs of disorder in the golden light barrier we felt before. If this had continued, the golden light boundary would have undoubtedly been destroyed.
“So Jiu Gong couldn’t sit still and do nothing anymore. She kicked away Xu Jingtao, and she is now ready to fight Zhou Yuan herself.”
Yuan Kun stroked his chin that was barely visible and said, “Although that woman is arrogant, she is indeed capable and decisive. As soon as she took over, she cut off the nodes that Zhou Yuan had destroyed. This is similar to cutting off one’s tail to survive, and it’s the reason why the golden light barrier shrank.”
Although Yuan Kun wasn’t skilled in Genesis Runes, he was still ranked eighth on the Divine Dwelling List and had extraordinary perception. Therefore, he quickly identified the changes that were happening within the boundary.
“I see...” Yi Qiushui nodded in understanding. “But now that Zhou Yuan has destroyed several boundary nodes, can she still reverse the situation by taking over?”
Yuan Kun sighed. “The Meridian Golden Light Boundary is divided into two layers, the inside and the outside. What Xue Jingtao controlled was only the outer layer, but Jiu Gong has now abandoned the outer layer and shrunk the inner layer. In terms of danger, it is now trickier than before.”
The golden light boundary was gradually shrinking and stabilizing as it grew more dazzling. Looking at it, Yuan Kun grew solemn.
“It’s going to become troublesome.”
....
Within the golden light boundary.
Zhou Yuan similarly felt the golden light barrier shrink. He narrowed his eyes and let out a sigh. “What a tricky opponent.”
The nodes that he had destroyed were just like dead tissue on a person’s body, and now that Jiu Gong had cleanly severed dead tissue, it couldn’t further infect the body.
Moreover, as the area shrank, the boundary’s defenses grew stronger, and it wouldn’t be as easy to destroy the remaining nodes. After all, Jiu Gong wasn’t the same as Xue Jingtao, and her control of the boundary could be described as perfect.
Regardless of the difficulty, there was no way that Zhou Yuan would give up.
Zhou Yuan closed his eyes and expanded his Spirit perception to survey the boundary’s many flowing Genesis Runes. He then sent out a series of orders.
“Team 4, step forward two hundred feet and then move three hundred feet to the right and attack the northwest area.
“Team 8, move one hundred feet to the left and attack the southern area.
“Team 3...
“......”
Under Zhou Yuan's command, the teams swiftly moved to the positions Zhou Yuan directed them to, and they launched an attack.
At the same time, on the top of the mountain, Jiu Gong’s eyes were fixed on the light screen in front of her. Her mouth suddenly opened slightly, and a clear voice came out, “The ninth node, strengthen the defense.
“The thirteenth node, manipulate the golden light to attack the team in the southwest.
“The fifteenth node, attack northward.
“......”
