Chapter 957 Top Battle (2/2)
Under her command, the boundary nodes immediately started to operate, either attacking, defending, or hiding…
Zhou Yuan wanted to attack and destroy the nodes, but Jiu Gong’s quick defense created an illusion that prevented Zhou Yuan from determining the nodes’ locations.
Although the two sides hadn’t met, they were already fiercely competing.
Boom!
Frantic Genesis Qi constantly erupted within the boundary.
Zhou Yuan was aware of Jiu Gong’s obstruction because he had only managed to find two real nodes and destroy them during this period of time, even if he had identified ten locations.
Therefore, eight locations were illusions Jiu Gong had sent out to mislead Zhou Yuan.
And in those locations, Jiu Gong had gathered mighty golden light to destroy Zhou Yuan’s teams. If Zhou Yuan hadn’t reacted in time and retreated, his teams would have suffered severe injuries.
The speed at which his teams advanced and destroyed nodes was frustratingly slower than before.
But Zhou Yuan didn’t feel anxious. He already knew that Jiu Gong was much more skilled than Xue Jingtao. Given her mastery in Genesis Runes and her advantageous position within the boundary, it was already a pretty good result for him to destroy two nodes.
He only needed to move forward steadily and not be impatient. Otherwise, he could easily fall into her trap.
Thus, Zhou Yuan began to slow down. He carefully deduced and observed the subtle changes within the boundary before advancing forward.
For the next hour, Zhou Yuan and Jiu Gong repeatedly fought several rounds, but the battle’s outcome still remained undecided. As the nodes continued to shatter, Zhou Yuan’s team also suffered significant damage, with some eliminated from Fallen Abyss after suffering the boundary’s impact.
But overall, as Zhou Yuan occupied more and more nodes, the situation seemed to tilt towards his side.
Outside of the ice mountain, Yuan Kun and Yi Qiushui could feel the boundary weakening little by little.
Yuan Kun didn’t say a word. Although that appeared to be the case, he possessed a keen sense like a Genesis beast, so when the situation seemed to tilt towards Zhou Yuan’s side, he felt a little uneasy. He knew Jiu Gong was very difficult to deal with. And he knew this very well.
Is Jiu Gong really unable to withstand his attacks?
....
On the top of the ice mountain, Jiu Gong wore a solemn expression as she stared at the dimming nodes, but there wasn’t a hint of panic on her face.
An urgent voice sounded all of a sudden, “Senior sister Jiu Gong, the twelfth node has been destroyed!”
Jiu Gong’s eyes glinted fiercely. She straightened her back and stared at a certain place on the light screen. Her red lips suddenly curved upwards, and her clear voice sounded, “Zhou Yuan, you are impressive to have struck so many holes into my Meridian Golden Light Boundary....
“But you mustn’t forget that there is a saying...one will suffer from his own scheming!
“Now that you're inside, don't even think about leaving!”
Jiu Gong held a Genesis Rune brush in her slender hand, and its tip drew across the void like a bolt of lightning, forming a series of ancient Genesis Runes. They sprang into the sky and integrated into the boundary.
When they fused with the boundary, a light speck in the depths of the light screen grew brighter.
With a fierce glint in her eyes, Jiu Gong looked terrifying as she whispered to herself, “Zhou Yuan, since you could force my Meridian Golden Light Boundary to this point, I must admit that your ability is remarkable, but unfortunately for you, I will be the one to win in the end!
“Meridian Golden Thunderbolt, break out!”
Boom!
A violent voice reverberated throughout the boundary, and an aura of destruction rapidly rose.
Outside the boundary, Yuan Kun’s face turned ashen. The wave of energy surging out from the boundary sent a chill down his spine. He realized that this was Jiu Gong’s final attack!
