Boom!
The ground trembled and Zong Teng's silhouette suddenly burst out like an arrow, shooting towards Mu Chen, who was standing before the stone tablet. As boundless Spiritual Energy surged, killing intent swept out.
Zong Teng's sudden action had instantly attracted countless exclamations outside the Body Refining Pagoda. Jiu You and Mo Ling's faces had instantly changed. Even if they weren't present here, they could tell that Mu Chen was practically exhausted at this moment. At this moment, he was probably at his weakest.
If Zong Teng wanted to kill at this moment, then it would undoubtedly pose a great threat to Mu Chen.
"Zong Teng!"
Jiu You clenched her teeth and the chill in her eyes practically gushed out.
Although she was furious, Jiu You did not panic too much. That's because Mu Chen wasn't alone in the fourth level. As a companion, although Mo Feng's character was cold, he would definitely not sit by and watch Zong Teng injure Mu Chen.
Indeed, as Jiu You had expected, when Zong Teng made his move, Mo Feng's gaze had also turned grim. His silhouette had flashed and he had appeared before Zong Teng like a spectre. A powerful Spiritual Energy burst out and his sharp and cold gaze locked onto Zong Teng.
"Get lost. If you take another step forward, don't blame me for making a move!" Mo Feng's voice was cold and his gaze was like a sharp blade as he stared at Zong Teng.
Zong Teng's face was dark as he coldly said, "Mo Feng, Mu Chen isn't someone from Jiu You's Sparrow Clan. He's just a mere human. Are you sure you want to become enemies with my Sky Roc Clan for him?"
Mockery appeared on Mo Feng's face when he heard Zong Teng's words. He couldn't be bothered to reply, but his gaze grew sharper as he stared at Zong Teng. His bearing made the latter understand that if Zong Teng dared to take another step forward, then he would immediately make a move.
When Zong Teng saw that Mo Feng wasn't going to give in, killing intent surged in his eyes. Shortly after, his gaze flickered and he suddenly looked at Han Shan, who had been watching by the side, and said, "Brother Han, you should be the Numero Uno in this Body Refining Pagoda's test. But Mu Chen actually dared to seize the opportunity of our Divine Beast Clan as a human, can you endure this?"
Hearing Zong Teng's provocative words, Mo Feng's face instantly turned dark. If it was just Zong Teng alone, he could still obstruct him. But if Han Shan joined in, then even he wouldn't be able to protect Mu Chen.
When Han Shan suddenly heard Zong Teng's words, he was briefly stunned before he narrowed his eyes and said in a non-committal manner, "This is a grudge between the two of you, so why must I be dragged into it?"
"Could it be that Brother Han is not interested in the essence of those Sky Devouring Divine Beasts?
If you can absorb it, then you won't be able to find an opponent amongst the Seventh Grade Sovereigns. At that time, even if you encounter the pinnacle geniuses of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, you won't have to fear them. "Zong Teng said.
Han Shan's gaze flickered as he cast a glance at the scarlet essence that was being absorbed by Mu Chen with a smear of yearning in his eyes. He naturally knew how shocking the grade of the essence that Mu Chen had obtained was.
It had practically far exceeded what they had obtained in the past.
If he could really absorb and refine it, then Zong Teng's words wouldn't be a lie.
Thinking about it, Han Shan's face started to change. Clearly, he had wavered for a brief moment. Seeing his reaction, Mo Feng's heart couldn't help sinking down.
Outside the Body Refining Pagoda, Jiu You squinted her eyes as she looked at the screen. Although she couldn't hear the voices, she could naturally guess what Zong Teng was trying to do based on his actions and Han Shan's reaction. Immediately, her face turned even colder with strands of cold aura emanating from her body. Clearly, she was enraged in her heart.
If Han Shan really interfered at this moment, then it would definitely be a great threat to Mu Chen.
"Zong Teng deserves death!"
Jiu You clenched her teeth with an ominous expression on her face.
Standing to the side, Mo Ling's face was also filled with worry. At this moment, Mu Chen didn't have any fighting strength, so it's impossible for her big brother to resist the joint attack of Zong Teng and Han Shan.
At this moment, the experts of the other clans had also sensed the changes in the fourth floor and they immediately burst into an uproar. Some even felt pity for Mu Chen. Could it be that this dark horse was going to be killed the moment he reached the peak?
Not far away, Lu Sui, who was recovering under the protection of several experts of the Thunder Crow Clan, had also opened his eyes. He looked at the screen and coldly sneered. That Mu Chen, I'll see how you're going to be complacent!
The rewards that he had painstakingly obtained would probably be given to someone else at this moment!
Outside the Body Refining Pagoda, countless gazes of pity and rejoice were directed at the screen.
Under the countless gazes of pity and rejoice, Han Shan's gaze flickered in the fourth floor, as if he couldn't make up his mind.
"Brother Han, we can't drag this any longer. Otherwise, you won't have a share of the Sky Devouring Divine Beast's essence."
Seeing that Han Shan was a little shaken, but he still showed no signs of making a move, Zong Teng couldn't help urging.
If Mu Chen was allowed to recover his strength, then with him and Mo Feng joining hands, even if Han Shan wanted to make a move, he wouldn't be able to do anything to them.
Hearing Zong Teng's urging, Han Shan knitted his brows and turned to look at Mu Chen. However, the latter was still quietly standing before the stone tablet with a scarlet essence that shrouded around him, causing him to emit a mysterious and unfathomable feeling.
Han Shan had bitterly trained over the years and had experienced countless slaughters. Therefore, his intuition was extremely sharp. This time, he had also sensed a different aura from the human youth before him.
It was a sense of danger that was suppressed to the deepest depths.
That feeling made him understand that if he were to make a move today, then he would have to be ruthless. Otherwise, if he allowed Mu Chen to escape, then he wouldn't be able to eat or sleep in peace in the future.
Was it worth it to offend such a dangerous enemy for the essence of the Sky Devouring Divine Beasts?
Han Shan's gaze swiftly flickered and the plaza became extremely silent. Zong Teng and Mo Feng had their hearts tensed up, since they knew that Han Shan's decision would cause the situation to change.
The silence lasted for ten-odd breaths before it was broken by Han Shan's deep breath. He slowly raised his head and smiled towards Zong Teng and Mo Feng, before shaking his head. "Although the essence of the Sky Devouring Divine Beasts is rare, it seems that I, Han Shan, do not have the fortune to enjoy it. So I can only accept your good intentions."
Although Han Shan's greed made him want to seize the essence of the Sky Devouring Divine Beasts, his intuition prevailed in the end, so he chose not to make a move.
Zong Teng's face instantly turned livid.
When Mo Feng heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted from his shoulders. His handsome face, which had always been cold and indifferent, also became much more relaxed. He nodded towards Han Shan to express his gratitude.
"Since Brother Han isn't interested, then I can only give up. Brother Mo, I have offended you this time." Zong Teng's face was pale for a brief moment before he recovered and immediately retreated.
Sensing Zong Teng's aura retreating, Mo Feng's tensed heart couldn't help loosening up.
Boom!
But in that instant when Mo Feng loosened up, the killing intent in Zong Teng's eyes instantly burst out and his silhouette burst forth, leaving behind afterimages.
"Zong Teng, you dare?!"
A smear of rage flashed in Mo Feng's eyes as he took a step forth. His silhouette had appeared before those afterimages and threw a jab forth. Instantly, a phoenix cry resounded and scarlet flames swept out along with boundless Spiritual Energy, shattering those afterimages with a single jab.
As the afterimages shattered, one of the silhouettes was forced to reveal himself. Zong Teng threw a palm forth with a surging golden light that was extremely sharp. It was like a myriad of swords that wanted to tear the heavens and earth apart.
Boom!
The fist and palm clashed. Instantly, Spiritual Energy rippled out, causing space to fluctuate and the two silhouettes trembled. Thereafter, Zong Teng's silhouette had been blown up by the fist and was reduced to a golden light.
Mo Feng, who had destroyed Zong Teng with a single jab, had his eyes narrowed at this moment. That's because he saw that the golden light had pierced through space in an extremely peculiar manner and appeared behind him.
"The Divine Ability of the Golden-Winged Great Roc, Spatial Movement?!"
Mo Feng's face was dark as he threw a jab forth without any hesitation. A terrifying gale from his fist caused cracks in space as it shot towards the golden light that appeared behind him.
Whoosh!
However, that golden light paid no attention to his attack and a sharp light burst out, piercing through space towards Mu Chen.
That sharp light was a dark golden feather that was around ten feet long. The feather was like a peerless divine sword, and there was an overbearing aura that swept out from it.
It was a divine feather that fell from the Super Divine Beast, the Gold Winged Great Roc. Through the refinement of the Sky Roc Clan, its sharpness was comparable to a Peerless Rank Divine Artifact. If ordinary Seventh Grade Sovereigns were to be pierced by it, they would definitely be pierced.
Zong Teng's intention was extremely clear. Even if he had to suffer injuries from Mo Feng's attack, he still wanted to kill Mu Chen here.
The feather pierced through space and Mo Feng's face turned extremely unsightly. That's because even if he could hold Zong Teng back, he couldn't stop the sharp feather that was flying towards Mu Chen.
With Mu Chen's current state, he would probably be killed by that feather.
This mistake made Mo Feng feel vexed in his heart, along with rage and killing intent. It looked like no matter what, he couldn't let Zong Teng off today.
Buzz!
But no matter how vexed he felt, he couldn't change the direction of the feather. Thus, the golden light had swiftly appeared behind Mu Chen under the pale faces of Jiu You and the rest, aiming towards the back of Mu Chen's head in an attempt to pierce through his head.
Is this dark horse going to fall here?
Looking at this scene, many experts sighed in pity.
A ridiculing smile had already appeared on Zong Teng's face. No matter how talented you are, you will still die here today!
But just when the smile appeared on his face, it had suddenly froze!
That's because, in that instant when the sword feather was about to pierce through Mu Chen's head, Mu Chen, who did not make any movements, suddenly stretched his hand out and grabbed onto the sword feather as a purplish-golden lustre flickered on it.
The feather that could pierce through the defences of Seventh Grade Sovereigns couldn't move any further under that slender and fair hand!
Zong Teng's face froze, bit by bit.
At this moment, the owner of that palm opened his eyes that were flickering with golden light. He slowly turned around and looked over with an indifferent gaze.
(There will be a second chapter, but it will be a little later, perhaps after midnight.)
