"It's your turn …"
When Mu Chen's black eyes were looking at him, Zong Teng, who had a ghastly expression on his face, could not help but take a step back. Mu Chen had defeated Lu Sui with one punch, which had caused quite a shock to him.
However, Zong Teng was not an ordinary person, after all, so he immediately calmed down. He stared at Mu Chen with a solemn and even fearful gaze. In the past, he had only taken Mu Chen seriously, but now, Mu Chen had truly made him feel that he was in mortal danger.
"I have underestimated you previously," Zong Teng said in a low voice.
Zong Teng said in a low voice. Regret surged in his heart again. If he had known that Mu Chen's strength would improve so much in the Body-refining Tower, he would have gotten rid of him immediately.
Mu Chen now was obviously more threatening than Ink Blade and Jiu You.
When the surrounding top powers heard what Zong Teng said, they had a strange look on their faces. Who would have thought that Zong Teng, who was so full of himself, would take the initiative to admit defeat and try to settle the matter peacefully?
However, the crowd was not too surprised. After witnessing Mu Chen's amazing combat power, Zong Teng probably did not have the intention to start a war.
Lu Sui was beaten to a pulp, so there was no need to count on the top powers from the Lightning Crow Tribe. If the Heavenly Roc Tribe and Jiu You's Sparrow Tribe were to face off against each other, they were obviously at a disadvantage now.
If that was the case, they might as well admit defeat voluntarily.
To preserve their strength.
However, Mu Chen did not comment on Zong Teng's admission of defeat.
His eyes were still staring at Zong Teng without much emotion. It was obvious that he did not intend to let this matter go so easily.
He had already understood that a person like Zong Teng would not learn from his mistakes unless he was beaten until he was crippled and hurt.
Looking at Mu Chen's eyes, Zong Teng understood that Mu Chen was probably really angry this time. A mere 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid might not be able to resolve this matter.
Zong Teng frowned as he thought of this.
Zong Teng stared at Mu Chen coldly. He no longer backed down and said flatly, "In that case, I would like to see if you can defeat me with one punch like you did with Lu Sui. If you can do it, even if you want my life, I will give it to you!"
Zong Teng was indeed a ruthless and decisive person.
Since it was useless to admit defeat, Zong Teng put away all thoughts of giving up. Since Mu Chen wanted to show off, Zong Teng could only show his strength.
It made him understand what it meant to fear each other.
"At least you have some courage."
When Mu Chen saw how decisive Zong Teng was, he nodded. Zong Teng was much better than Lu Sui.
It was no wonder that he could become the most outstanding genius of the Sky Roc Race's younger generation.
Furthermore, there were rumors of him outside of the Heavenly Roc Race.
Boom!
Since he had made up his mind, Zong Teng did not hesitate.
Zong Teng no longer hesitated. His eyes were cold, and a majestic spiritual power swept out from his body. Vaguely, there was a loud roar that sounded like a roc.
The oppressive feeling from Zong Teng's body immediately attracted the attention of many powerful people. Zong Teng's strength was considered good even among the Grade Seven Sovereigns. Compared to Lu Sui, he was obviously much stronger. It was no wonder that he had such a reputation.
However, Mu Chen remained calm. If he had wanted to deal with Zong Teng before his Dragon-Phoenix Body had broken through to the second level, he would have had to use all his trump cards. He might even have had to arrange a spiritual array to deal with Zong Teng. But now … he did not need to go through so much trouble.
Whoosh!
Spiritual energy swept out, and Zong Teng's figure turned into a golden light and shot out. He threw a punch, and as the golden light surged, it was as if there was a golden roc flapping its wings in the shadow of the fist. An indescribable sharp aura swept out and cut the ground into a mess.
Roc Shadow Divine Fist!
The surrounding powerful people quickly retreated. Zong Teng obviously knew how powerful Mu Chen was, so he used all his strength. Even someone like Lu Sui would have to avoid this punch.
The golden fist that contained the golden roc shadow blasted the air and turned into a golden light that went straight for Mu Chen. The golden light expanded rapidly in Mu Chen's eyes, and in the next moment, he also threw a punch.
The golden light still surged, and there was no fluctuation of spiritual energy. It was purely based on the strength of his physical body.
Boom!
The two golden fists heavily collided. Immediately, a frightening shockwave erupted. The ground beneath their feet crumbled, and the surrounding ruins were turned into dust by the shockwave.
The shockwave wreaked havoc, causing Mu Chen's body to tremble heavily. However, he was able to withstand the impact of the shockwave.
On the other hand, Zong Teng was directly forced to take a step back, and his feet left deep marks on the ground. However, it could be seen that Zong Teng's strength was not weak. Mu Chen's previous punch had severely injured Lu Sui, but when it landed on Zong Teng, it only made him take a step back. They were both Grade Seven Sovereigns, but the gap between them was so big.
However, although he only took a step back, Zong Teng's face grew darker, because only he knew how terrifying Mu Chen's physical body and strength were.
In the previous punch, he had used his spiritual energy and the power of his physical body. However, Mu Chen had only used the power of his physical body.
How could this guy's physical body be so strong in such a short time?
"Awesome!"
Just as Zong Teng was feeling surprised, Mu Chen grinned. Then, without giving Zong Teng any time to retreat, he took a step forward. The golden light shot out, and the terrible fist wind once again enveloped Zong Teng.
Now that his physical strength had increased by so much, it was difficult for him to achieve perfect control of his own strength. Now that there was such a good target for him to practice his punches on, he naturally would not let it go.
As this thought flashed across his mind, Mu Chen's figure had already turned into a golden light and shot out.
The golden light fist shadow brought along afterimages, and enveloped Zong Teng in an overwhelming manner.
In the face of Mu Chen's violent attack,
Zong Teng could only activate his spiritual energy and fight back with all his might.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
The low sound of fists colliding rang out continuously.
The air billowed and shook the sky. Every low sound was like a thunderclap, and there was a violent impact.
In this area, many of the top powers from the various clans looked at the two golden light shadows that were constantly colliding with each other. Deep cracks continuously appeared under their feet.
However, what made them feel even more incredulous was that Zong Teng, who had a vast amount of spiritual energy, was among the two light shadows.
Instead, under the attack of Mu Chen, who did not have any spiritual energy fluctuations, Zong Teng was retreating.
Almost every time Mu Chen's fist landed on Zong Teng, he would be forced to retreat. Even the majestic spiritual energy that was swirling around him would be shaken and dissipated.
At this time, everyone finally understood how terrifying Mu Chen's physical body was … This guy's physical body was even more terrifying than the bodies of the Divine Beasts.
They really did not know how this freak cultivated his physical body. They knew very well how difficult it was to cultivate the physical body …
The top powers from the Heavenly Roc Clan.
At this time, they were also stunned as they looked at Zong Teng, who was retreating, especially Liu Qing, whose pretty face was alternating between green and white.
Previously, she was still looking down on Mu Chen's human identity and his mere strength of a Grade Six Sovereign.
But now, Zong Teng, whom she had always respected, was in such a sorry state in front of a human that she had once looked down on … This contrast almost made her faint.
"Brother Mu Chen is really too powerful!" Mo Ling's big eyes were filled with stars.
He looked at Mu Chen, who was currently emitting an imposing aura, with a face of worship.
Ink Blade also looked dignified, as his strength was similar to Zong Teng's.
However, now that even Zong Teng was in such a sorry state, it meant that …
Now, Mu Chen's combat strength had probably surpassed his.
"It seems that Mu Chen's physical body should have achieved a breakthrough in this Body-refining Tower."
Jiu You's beautiful eyes were also filled with surprise. She knew Mu Chen too well. Although his physical body was strong before, it was far from this level.
Ink Blade's expression changed slightly, and finally sighed softly, saying, "I'm afraid his method is the right one."
He thought of the scene when Mu Chen walked step by step from the first level of the Body-refining Tower. While they used various means to increase their speed because of the opportunities in the Body-refining Tower, Mu Chen was undergoing the most primitive tempering in the Body-refining Tower …
It was this kind of tempering that allowed his physical body to achieve such amazing progress.
Jiu You also nodded gently. When the others were blinded by the illusory Super Powers, Sacred Objects, and opportunities, only Mu Chen was still down-to-earth, accepting the tempering in the cruel environment of the Body-refining Tower step by step.
Hence, it seemed that Mu Chen was the one who had obtained the most precious opportunity in the Body-refining Tower.
"Mu Chen is using Zong Teng to test his fist."
Jiu You's gaze turned back to the violent battle, and her beautiful eyes narrowed as she said with a faint smile.
She had already noticed that in the past ten minutes, Mu Chen had thrown out hundreds of punches, and the power contained in each punch was becoming more and more smooth. It was no longer as violent as it was at the beginning, where it was easy to release but difficult to control.
Obviously, Mu Chen was using Zong Teng to train his surging power.
"Zong Teng has lost all his fighting spirit."
Ink Blade also nodded and said, "This battle is almost over."
Zong Teng obviously also noticed that Mu Chen's power was becoming smoother and smoother. Hence, he should also understand that unless he really fought to the death in this battle, his chances of winning were not high.
Just as Ink Blade finished speaking, golden light shone from Zong Teng's body, and his figure turned into an afterimage and flew out. With a shake of his body, he transformed into a huge golden roc that was thousands of feet tall.
The huge roc stretched out its huge claws and caught the people from the Heavenly Roc Clan. Endless golden runes appeared on its wings, and when it flapped its wings, a strong wind blew between the heavens and the earth. It then turned into a golden light and fled into the distant sky.
Zong Teng's sudden escape stunned all the experts present.
Golden light flashed, and Mu Chen's figure appeared. He looked at Zong Teng, who was trying to escape, and smiled faintly. Then, he clenched his fist, and the golden feather sword appeared in his hand.
He waved the feather sword, and the spiritual power and physical strength in his body were all injected.
Buzz!
A huge golden sword light of about a thousand feet shot out. It seemed to penetrate the space and disappeared in an instant.
The moment the golden sword light disappeared, there was a shrill cry in the distance. Vaguely, there seemed to be a bloody light blooming in the sky.
Obviously, Zong Teng, who had fled far away, still could not escape from Mu Chen's sword and was directly injured.
Among the trash, Mu Chen held a feather sword in his hand. His figure was slender, and in the distant sky, blood dotted the background. A slightly dark red light enveloped his body, causing him to have an invincible posture at this moment.
That scene caused the hearts of many experts present to tremble slightly as intense fear surged in their hearts.
They knew that after this battle, Mu Chen's reputation would spread quickly in the Land of the Divine Beasts.
This dark horse was so dazzling.
