"What an unlucky kid …"
While Mu Chen and Jiu You both secretly sympathized with Xia Hong, the latter could not help but frown at their gazes. He seemed to vaguely sense some uneasiness, but in the end, he suppressed his subtle emotions.
No matter how he thought about it, he could not think of any loopholes in this matter. He knew that whether it was his IOU or Lin Jing's suggestion of a beauty accompanying him, both parties would not admit to it after the matter was over.
The reason he made such a suggestion was that after he dealt with Mu Chen, he would have some excuse to deal with Lin Jing and Jiu You. When the time came, he would use this opportunity to temporarily keep the two women in his hands. He had plenty of means to subdue them under his control.
Thinking of this, Xia Hong calmed down a little. He glanced at Lin Jing, who was smiling like a little fox, but was quite seductive. His heart could not help but heat up. When you fall into my hands, I will make you laugh to your heart's content.
However, before that, he had to get rid of this brat that he loathed …
Xia Hong's cold, blade-like eyes slowly turned to Mu Chen. In the previous confrontation, he had suffered a small loss because he underestimated him. He would not make this mistake a second time. Therefore, he would do his best to let Mu Chen know what the power of thunder was. At the same time, he would let him know that he, a nameless kid from the small Great Heaven Domain, was not qualified to be so rampant in the land of the Tianluo Continent where so many heaven's prides gathered.
Following Xia Hong's gaze, the spiritual energy that had swept across the heavens and the earth began to roll. Waves of tyrannical spiritual energy pressure surged towards Mu Chen like an avalanche. The strong oppression caused the earth beneath Mu Chen's feet to tremble slightly.
Mu Chen's expression also became calm at this time. He knew that Xia Hong's strength was strong. Although the latter had just entered Grade Nine, his real combat strength was far superior to that of a Grade Nine Sovereign.
According to Mu Chen's estimation, even if Xia Hong was at the peak of Grade Nine Sovereign, he would still have the strength to fight back.
Mu Chen's mind turned.
Immediately, he withdrew all his thoughts. His hands drooped slightly, and the spiritual energy in his body also began to circulate. The spiritual energy around him swept up like an ocean behind him.
The space was distorted, and the Sovereign Sea was faintly discernible, exuding a powerful spiritual energy.
The spiritual energy oppression from Xia Hong was also completely dispersed at this time.
Although he was only a half-step Grade Nine Sovereign, the spiritual energy in Mu Chen's Sovereign Sea had been tempered for nearly three full years in the Blood Sea Space in the Land of the Divine Beasts. Three years of tempering and polishing had made Mu Chen's spiritual energy vigorous and stable to an extreme.
Moreover, because he had refined the Undying Flame left behind by the Undying Bird, his spiritual energy also had some characteristics of endless growth.
Therefore, even if it was only a competition of the strength and endurance of spiritual energy, the current Mu Chen was definitely not the slightest bit weaker than those who had really entered Grade Nine Sovereign. In fact, he was even superior.
"Interesting …"
Mu Chen's extraordinary spiritual energy was also keenly noticed by Xia Hong. Immediately, his eyes flashed, and with a sneer, his eyes suddenly became fierce.
"Bang!"
The powerful spiritual energy exploded behind Xia Hong, and at this time, his figure turned into a series of afterimages.
Almost in an instant, he appeared in front of Mu Chen and blasted out a punch.
This punch was not fancy at all.
But it condensed an extremely violent spiritual energy, and when the punch was thrown out, Xia Hong's body actually had a bloody aura.
The bloody aura was steaming, and the bloody aura was entwined around his fist.
It was as if there was the sound of a battle, and it was soul-shaking.
"That is the Killing God's War Body cultivated by Xia Hong."
Qin Ya stared at the blood Qi bursting out from Xia Hong's body, her beautiful eyes narrowed. This was a very overbearing and strange Body Refining Divine Art. One had to go through countless bloody battles and use the blood of enemies to temper himself. In order to master this Body Refining Divine Art, Xia Hong had gone to the battlefield and used the blood of the enemy to complete this Body Refining Divine Art.
"He also cultivated a body refining divine art …"
The majestic bloody aura with a strong murderous aura hit Mu Chen in the face, which gave him the illusion that there was a sea of blood in front of him, but this interference had not much of an effect on him. His eyelids drooped slightly, and on his body, a purple gold light suddenly burst out at this time.
The Dragon-Phoenix Body!
The purple gold brilliance overflowed on the surface of Mu Chen's body, making him look like an indestructible golden body. His expression was indifferent, and he also blasted out a punch.
Mu Chen did not adopt any dodging posture. Xia Hong was proud of his strong physical body, but in Mu Chen's eyes, his pride was quite laughable.
If Xia Hong wanted to rely on his strong spiritual energy advantage of having just entered the Ninth Grade, he could cause some trouble for Mu Chen. But if he wanted to use his physical strength to hurt him, it was too whimsical.
Mu Chen, who had cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Body and had evolved the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix Tattoo into the Real Dragon and Real Phoenix Spirit, had absolute confidence in the physical contest. Even if he was facing a Complete Ninth Grade Sovereign, he would not have the slightest fear.
Two fists containing terrible power directly tore through the void, and then, under the dignified eyes of the crowd, fiercely collided.
Boom!
The air seemed to explode at this moment, and a shockwave visible to the naked eye raged out, distorting the space. The ground under the two people's feet could not withstand the impact, and directly cracked.
Everyone stared at the source of the impact, and their expressions changed slightly. This was because they saw that Mu Chen, who had taken Xia Hong's blow head-on, did not move an inch, as if he was a boulder.
On the contrary, Xia Hong seemed to be affected by the impact, and his body trembled.
"Mu Chen's physical strength is so terrifying!"
Someone whispered in horror. With the strength of a half-step Ninth Grade Sovereign, not only did he not fall into a disadvantage in a head-on collision of physical strength, but he even had a slight advantage!
Qin Ya, Jiang Ling, and the others also looked dignified.
Amidst the shocked low uproar, a haze flashed in Xia Hong's eyes. Mu Chen's degree of difficulty was beyond his expectations.
"Boom!"
A majestic murderous aura erupted from Xia Hong's body. With a stomp of his foot, the ground crumbled, and his body turned into countless afterimages that flew out. Those afterimages revolved around Mu Chen at high speed, and then the murderous fist shadows enveloped Mu Chen.
This kind of attack was so fierce that it was almost impossible to dodge.
Boom!
Boom!
In the face of Xia Hong's storm-like attack, Mu Chen's expression was solemn. With a shake of his sleeve, a giant purple-gold dragon flew out from his body and circled around him, forming a powerful shield that resisted the oncoming fist shadows.
Dong dong!
Deep sounds continued to spread in the martial arts practice field, and the ground under Mu Chen's feet continued to collapse.
Xia Hong's attack was indescribably violent, and in the end, even the shield formed by the Spirit of the True Dragon could not fully withstand it. One of the terrifying fist shadows found a flaw and directly blasted towards Mu Chen's head.
Bang!
At this time, a slender palm stretched out and blocked the fist shadow, and the violent impact of the spiritual energy immediately exploded.
Whoosh!
The ground cracked and the two figures were sent flying backwards. After which, their feet left long marks on the ground before they gradually came to a stop.
Countless gazes were cast in that direction. Those two figures were Mu Chen and Xia Hong, who were entangled in a fierce battle.
Mu Chen raised one hand, his expression calm. His palm was as bright as gold and indestructible. His sleeve was slightly tattered from the impact of the previous head-on collision.
In the distance, Xia Hong's eyes were gloomy. His previous attack, not to mention a half-step Ninth Grade Sovereign, even a Supreme-Being who had just entered Ninth Grade Sovereign would be in a difficult situation or even injured by him. But now, Mu Chen only had a torn sleeve.
This result filled Xia Hong's heart with anger and murderous intent.
"Phew."
Xia Hong took a deep breath, and the emotions on his face gradually converged, finally returning to indifference.
Perceiving the change, Mu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly. He began to perceive a sense of danger from Xia Hong.
Xia Hong's eyes were indifferent and emotionless. He stretched out his palm and suddenly clenched it.
Buzz!
A bright scarlet light condensed in his palm. In the next instant, the scarlet light transformed into a scarlet ferocious battle spear. There were many runes engraved on the battle spear. As soon as it appeared, it erupted with an extremely shocking Spiritual Energy fluctuation and murderous aura.
Mu Chen looked at the red war spear, and his eyes narrowed slightly. "A Quasi-Divine Artifact?"
While Mu Chen was slightly surprised, Xia Hong grinned at him. Red light surged on his body again, and finally transformed into a blood-red armor. On the armor, there were roaring dragon patterns, ferocious and ferocious.
The spear and the armor had the same aura. Obviously, they were a complete set. When they appeared on Xia Hong's body, the spiritual energy fluctuations around him soared to an extremely shocking level.
At this time, even a real Ninth Grade Sovereign would have to take him seriously.
"That's … the Crimson Dragon Spear and the Crimson Dragon Armor … This is a complete set of Quasi-Divine Artifacts. If superimposed, their power is enough to dominate the Quasi-Divine Artifacts … This Xia Hong is really ruthless. He even used them."
Qin Ya and the others watched this scene, and their expressions became extremely dignified. Their eyes were full of fear.
In the face of Xia Hong, who displayed such a trump card, even they could only retreat.
Obviously, in the face of repeated fruitless attacks, this time, Xia Hong was completely determined to kill.
And now … Mu Chen was really in danger.
