CHAPTER 1040: CHAPTER 1040 BREAKTHROUGH!

With a violent roar from Gu Shengchuan.

The countless Saber Gang enveloping Zhou Yu instantly rushed toward him, intent to kill.

Awaiting him was to be chopped into pieces by the chaotic blades.

Although Jiang Xin didn’t understand martial arts, when she saw this scene, she instinctively sensed something was wrong.

Her face full of anxiety, she wanted to rush over to intervene without a second thought.

But she was firmly stopped by Jiang Dongcheng’s subordinates.

Jiang Dongcheng himself also had a very unpleasant expression.

He was equally anxious, but he knew clearly that now no matter what method he thought of, it was too late.

At this moment, there was no one who could save Zhou Yu.

In the horrified eyes of the crowd, Zhou Yu’s figure was instantly swallowed by countless Saber Gang.

Seeing this scene, Han Changhu and others finally showed a look of relaxation.

Finally, this brat was dealt with.

Although the process was drawn out, the final move by Gu Shengchuan was shocking enough to make up for the adverse impact of taking so long before.

"Alright, you can retract the sword formation now."

Han Changhu smiled at Gu Shengchuan.

"That boy must have been turned into a pile of minced meat."

However, at this moment, Gu Shengchuan suddenly uttered a sound of surprise.

"Hmm?"

Han Changhu was stunned.

"What’s wrong?"

Gu Shengchuan was about to speak, but then came a sudden explosive sound.

Rumble!

A massive explosion of True Qi erupted from the place Zhou Yu was engulfed by the Bone Prison Blade Qi.

The remaining Saber Gang in the Bone Prison Blade Array was directly shattered by this terrifying True Qi.

The next moment, Zhou Yu’s figure appeared again.

Moreover, around him were four different colors of True Qi, swirling and rotating, making his entire being shimmer with brilliance, magnificent.

"How can you withstand the Bone Prison Blade Array from an old man like me?"

"No, your aura..."

Gu Shengchuan suddenly realized something.

His pupils became round with shock.

"You actually used my sword formation to break through your realm?"

Zhou Yu’s face showed a look of excitement.

He smiled and said:

"That’s right."

"I must thank you for your Bone Breaking Blade Qi."

"Otherwise, I might have needed one or two more months to break through."

Indeed.

At this moment, Zhou Yu had successfully broken through to the Mid-Holy Realm in Qi Refining.

In fact, since the time at the Blood Gu Clan’s ancestral land, in order to help Beibei escape from the Spiritual Energy cocoon, Zhou Yu absorbed all the Spiritual Energy inside the cocoon into his body.

But because the Spiritual Energy was too massive, his meridians couldn’t withstand this terrifying Spiritual Energy, so he had to use special techniques to compress this enormous Spiritual Energy within his body.

During this time, he continuously utilized the Golden Cauldron Technique to strengthen the meridians within his body, but the speed of improvement was very slow.

However, just now, when Zhou Yu discovered that Gu Shengchuan’s Bone Breaking Sword actually could penetrate the Protective Qi and directly attack his meridians and bones.

Zhou Yu suddenly had a bold idea.

Which was to use the properties of the Bone Breaking Sword to temper his meridians and enhance their strength.

Therefore, when he fell into the Bone Prison Blade Array, Zhou Yu started trying without hesitation.

Despite being extremely painful during this attempt, it indeed went as he wished, allowing his meridian strength to rapidly improve in a short period.

Consequently, the immense Spiritual Energy compressed inside his body could smoothly enter his meridians, and with one circulation, his Qi Refining realm easily broke through to the Mid-Holy Realm.

With the breakthrough in Qi Refining realm, Zhou Yu clearly felt that the strength of his True Qi had increased at least threefold.

The Saber Gang within the Bone Prison Blade Array was effortlessly shattered by him.

Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Jin Yidao, Zhen An, and other Saint Realm experts reacted immediately.

Jin Yidao’s face stiffened as he took a deep breath.

"This boy..."

"He’s too monstrous."

Fan Xiong still couldn’t understand why Zhou Yu could survive unscathed.

After Jin Yidao said a few simple words, Fan Xiong’s eyes also revealed a look of astonishment.

But then, the astonishment turned into a deep jealousy.

Zhen An, Zhu Hongyuan, and others nearby had similar reactions.

At this moment, Gu Shengchuan himself had an incomparably ugly expression.

In front of everyone, he was used as a stepping stone by a junior.

This nearly made him lose face entirely.

"Brat, even if you break through, so what?"

"With only Mid-Holy Realm, you still must die."

Gu Shengchuan shouted angrily, gripping the hilt of the sword embedded in the ground, then a terrifying Gang Jin burst forth.

In an instant, the formidable Gang Jin forcibly split the ground, the residual Power of Heaven and Earth on the long blade surged wildly, transforming into a sword light more than ten feet long, heading straight for Zhou Yu.

Facing this strike, Zhou Yu chuckled lightly and casually waved his hand.

The Nether Fire True Qi instantly transformed into a flame blade, heading up to meet it.

Boom!

In a flash, the two attacks collided, turning into a wave of violent residual True Qi, spreading out.

Gu Shengchuan couldn’t believe that his attack was blocked by Zhou Yu so easily.

With another angry roar, he directly lifted his sword, and his figure like lightning appeared above Zhou Yu.

"Bone Cracking Earth!"

Gu Shengchuan shouted explosively.

The long sword emitted white Saber Gang, transforming into a huge sword shadow, slashing down toward Zhou Yu.

This strike contained all the Gang Jin within Gu Shengchuan.

This was his last trump card!

Seeing this scene, Zhou Yu sneered.

He pressed his palms together, and his True Qi instantly surged into his palms.

In a split second, a solid ball of golden True Qi wrapped around his palms.

This golden True Qi was the Red Gold True Qi.

After breaking through to the Mid-Holy Realm, the power of Red Gold True Qi also increased several times compared to before.

Zhou Yu locked his gaze on Gu Shengchuan’s Saber Gang, then suddenly crossed his hands and swept them out.

Swish!

Red Gold True Qi turned into a crescent moon, erupting from his palms like an arrow leaving the string, heading straight for Gu Shengchuan.

Clang!

This golden crescent moon instantly crashed into the long sword in Gu Shengchuan’s hands.

In an instant, a loud, sharp sound of metal clashing echoed.

The sound was so piercing that it caused the people present to experience ear symptoms.

For a moment, everyone couldn’t hear anything.

Fortunately, the view wasn’t obstructed, and after a brief stalemate between the two’s forces, the golden crescent moon instantly engulfed Gu Shengchuan’s figure.
