Chapter 70 Ge (1/2)

Wisps of black smoke together with a nauseating stench occasionally rose into the air within the bright and spacious room.

However, the people in the room did not show any disgust in response to the appalling smell. Instead, only joy could be seen on their faces.

It was because this meant that more and more of the Devil Miasma Poison was being neutralized.

Wei Canglan’s eyes were filled with emotion as he looked at Wei Bin’s waist area, where the patch of pitch-black had already receded substantially, the black from before not as deep as it had been.

By the side, Wei Qingqing tightly clenched her fists. It was hard for her to control her overflowing emotions.

Although they were both a little overwhelmed, they did not make any noise that would disturb Zhou Yuan. The latter currently wore a solemn look on his face, while perspiration dotted his entire forehead.

The Heavenly Yuan Brush in his hand continued to descend, patching the parts of the Genesis Runes that had faded due to the repetitive attacks of the Devil Miasma Poison.

In fact, several places had even been broken.

Thus, Zhou Yuan needed to continuously do repairs to maintain the formation. If not, it would become much more difficult to encircle and draw out the Devil Miasma Poison again if it were allowed to break out.

Light flickered between Zhou Yuan’s brow, a sign that his Spirit was being pushed to its limit.

Controlling a formation of eight grade 1 Genesis Runes and a grade 2 Genesis Rune was pretty exhausting even for someone like Zhou Yuan whose Spirit was at the mid Illusory stage. The only thing he could do was tough it out, clench his teeth and endure.

Sweat fell dripped from his forehead into his eyes, causing a prickling pain.

Suddenly, a faint fragrance drifted over as a fair hand reached out with a handkerchief, wiping away the sweat on Zhou Yuan’s head.

Zhou Yuan’s eyes turned and was somewhat shocked to see that the owner of the handkerchief was Wei Qingqing.

Upon sensing Zhou Yuan’s gaze, Wei Qingqing pursed her lips into a slight smile.

Zhou Yuan nodded, indicating his gratitude, before casting his attention back to the Genesis Runes.

Time slowly flowed and noon unknowingly arrived.

Only a half-fist sized patch of pitch-black Devil Miasma Poison was left at Wei Bin’s lower backbone area. In addition, it had also become less concentrated. From the looks of it, full neutralization was not far off.

However, just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the lump of Devil Miasma Poison suddenly began to squirm, suddenly splitting up and charging in all directions as if it had gone mad.

“Oh no! The Devil Miasma Poison wants to escape. It intends to hide in the depths of little Bin’s body!” Wei Canglan’s expression changed slightly. The Devil Miasma Poison was troublesome indeed, it had instinctively began to search for somewhere to hide the moment it sensed its life was threatened. It will be very dangerous if it was allowed to conceal itself again.

Zhou Yuan calmly said, “Relax, it will not be able to escape.”

After which, with a dot of the Heaven Yuan Brush, the layers of Genesis Runes suddenly began to swell, cutting off all routes of escape. At the same time, the Thousand Poisons Erosion Rune that was originally outside the encirclement also slipped in and began to counter-attack.

Blobs of Devil Miasma Poison dashed in all directions, but it was completely useless. Every one was eventually swallowed by the Thousand Poisons Erosion Rune, transforming into wisps of black smoke that rose into the air.

After dozens of minutes, the final piece of Devil Miasma Poison was purged and the entire room lapse into silence.

Phew.

Zhou Yuan breathed out heavily as if a great burden had been lifted from his shoulders. Just as he desired to stand up, a wave of dizziness washed over his head, causing him to stumble backwards.

Thud!

However, his body did not fall to the ground. Instead, he crashed into something fragrant, warm and soft. This caused him to be stunned, his eyes quickly turning as the sight of a beast baring its fangs appeared before him.

Tuntun was snarling at him.

He raised his head, only to find Yaoyao’s distant eyes staring at him.

Yaoyao’s red lips parted slightly and she said, “If you don’t get up, I will let Tuntun swallow you whole.”

Tuntun grinned, showing its teeth to Zhou Yuan.
