When the magma hand penetrated through space and grabbed onto the ownerless Azure Feathered Fan, Mu Chen's face had turned cold.
He never imagined that there would be a day where someone would reap the benefits...
"What a sneaky fellow. Where did you come from?
Get the hell out here! "
Jiu You's face was also cold. No one would be in a good mood when they saw their hard-earned victory being snatched away. Hence, she had immediately made her move. A strand of purple feather appeared before her with a transparent flame blazing on it. A terrifying heat swept out, causing space to violently distort.
Rustle!
The purple feather shot forth like a bolt of lightning, piercing towards the magma hand.
Just as the purple feather approached, the space there rippled once more. Another magma hand broke through the air and grabbed the purple feather that was burning with the transparent flames. As the magma flowed, it burned the transparent flames in a frenzy. However, it was clear that the owner of the magma hand was stronger in the end. The magma flowed down and extinguished the transparent flames in the end.
"Mhm?
What a mysterious flame … it's actually so tenacious. "
Although the transparent flames were extinguished, there was an exclamation that resounded from space. Ordinary flames couldn't harm him, but the transparent flames from before made him feel threatened. If it wasn't for the fact that the owner of the transparent flames was weaker than him, he wouldn't have been able to suppress it so easily.
Space fluctuated and a fiery-red silhouette slowly appeared. Mu Chen and the other two directed their gazes over and saw a person with red hair that looked like blazing flames. Magma flowed on his body, making him look like a volcano with an extremely violent and blazing fluctuation spreading from him.
Furthermore, there was also an extremely dangerous aura.
Mu Chen squinted his eyes at the sight of this person. The danger that this person gave him had even surpassed Su Qingyin. In the entire Greatlaw Continent, there was probably only one person that could surpass Su Qingyin...
"I never expected Zhu Yan, who is ranked first on the Expert Ranking, to be someone that likes to pick up scraps." Mu Chen's voice was indifferent without the slightest ripple.
Jiu You wasn't surprised, since she had already guessed the other party's identity.
The red-haired man merely smiled when he heard this. He gripped the green feathered fan in his hand and said, "Treasures belong to those who are fated to obtain them. When I entered, I saw that it was in an ownerless state. This means that I am fated with it. Therefore, it is reasonable for me to take it away."
"Tch, why is your Fire Spirit Clan so thick-skinned?"
A sweet-sounding sneer resounded as Lin Jing looked at Zhu Yan with disdain.
"Little Bing, bash him up!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Jing waved her hand.
Rustle!
The Spiritual Frost Puppet instantly flew out with a cold aura sweeping out. It appeared behind Zhu Yan with a cold spear that was like a venomous snake, aimed towards the back of Zhu Yan's head.
Boom!
But just when the cold spear was about to pierce into Zhu Yan, he suddenly threw a palm out. Instantly, a volcano seemed to have appeared on his palm with a terrifying blazing Spiritual Energy gushing out.
Boom!
The cold spear was instantly melted, and the Spiritual Frost Puppet flew back over a thousand feet as if it had suffered a heavy blow. Only then did it stabilize its body, but its arm was slightly charred.
Zhu Yan had revealed his powerful strength the moment he made his move. With just a palm, he had forced back the Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm Spiritual Frost Puppet.
Mu Chen squinted his eyes. Zhu Yan's strength was truly terrifying. It was no wonder why he could be the Numero Uno and suppress countless geniuses in the Greatlaw Continent. According to his estimations, Zhu Yan was probably at the pinnacle of the Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, only half a step away from the Earth Sovereign Realm. Even Mu Chen couldn't help feeling fearful of his strength.
"Mhm?
Spiritual Frost Puppet?
You're from the Ice Spirit Clan? "Zhu Yan's face changed when he forced the Spiritual Frost Puppet back with a palm and looked at Lin Jing in bewilderment.
He was clear that the Spiritual Frost Puppet could only be refined by the Ice Spirit Clan. As someone from the Fire Spirit Clan, he understood the unique cold aura that it possessed.
"What has it got to do with you?"
Lin Jing didn't have a good expression towards him. Her exquisite face was tensed up and she was clearly unhappy.
Zhu Yan wasn't bothered by it as he faintly smiled. "Although this Spiritual Frost Puppet is powerful, it's still a little lacking to deal with me."
As he spoke, he briefly paused before looking at Mu Chen's group of three and lightly smiled. "Looks like the three of you aren't ordinary people. Perhaps I have taken advantage of this matter today, I wonder if the three of you can give me some face?"
"You're really giving me a lot of face."
Jiu You sneered. A Saint Artifact was worth at least a hundred million drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Even a top-tiered force might not be able to take it out. But right now, Zhu Yan wanted to take it away with just a few words, which made Jiu You's heart burn with rage.
If it wasn't for the fact that she was fearful of the other party's strength, she would have made a move long ago.
"Do you really think that I can't deal with you?"
Lin Jing's cold face had calmed down at this moment. She looked at Zhu Yan and said without any ripples in her voice.
Zhu Yan was briefly stunned as he looked at Lin Jing. For some reason, he felt a faint dangerous aura coming from that beautiful girl.
He narrowed his eyes as his gaze flickered. Shortly after, he slightly lowered his eyes and faintly said, "If the three of you insist on this, then I can only give it a try."
Regardless of whether the three of them had any trump cards, what sort of figure was Zhu Yan? He was the future Young Patriarch of the Fire Spirit Clan. He was prideful deep in his bones. If it wasn't for the fact that the three of them weren't simple, he would probably take the treasures and leave without saying a single word.
There wasn't any expression on Lin Jing's face as she took a step forth with spiritual light flickering on her slender fingers.
But at this moment, Mu Chen stretched his arm out and stopped her. Lin Jing looked at him, but she did not speak. That's because she knew that with Mu Chen's character, it was impossible for him to be frightened by Zhu Yan's fame at this moment.
"Leave it to me." Mu Chen did not disappoint her as he turned his head and gave her a smile.
When Lin Jing heard his words, she briefly hesitated. That's because she understood Mu Chen's strength well. If they were to fight, Mu Chen might not be Zhu Yan's opponent right now. After all, he had just broken through to the Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm, while Zhu Yan was a genuine Perfected Ninth Grade Sovereign Realm.
But in the end, Lin Jing gently nodded her head. That's because she knew that Mu Chen wasn't someone that would put up a strong front. Since he had spoken in this manner, then he must have some plans.
Zhu Yan also looked at Mu Chen at this moment. His eyes were also red, as if they were blazing with flames. He briefly examined Mu Chen and gently shook his head. "You're not my opponent."
There wasn't any contempt in his tone. He was only stating a simple fact.
In his eyes, aside from the mysterious and beautiful girl, he didn't feel any danger from Mu Chen or Jiu You. So he was a little shocked by Mu Chen's courage.
Mu Chen wasn't angered by these words. He smiled faintly and casually patted the huge stone pillar beside him. It was the only one left in the hall.
"Friend, if you put down the things now, I believe that we can pretend that nothing happened earlier. You can also leave with An Ran." Mu Chen smiled.
Zhu Yan seemed to be a little amused as he looked at Mu Chen. He shrugged his shoulders and said, "I feel that I should be the one to say those words."
He felt that it was a little comical. A mere initial grade nine expert was saying such words in front of him. It seemed that he hadn't encountered such a thing for a long time. It was a little amusing.
"So you're refusing?" Mu Chen curled his lips.
"Yes, I'm refusing." Zhu Yan indifferently nodded.
Mu Chen sighed helplessly. He gently patted the stone pillar and said, "That's a pity … You are indeed very strong, but many times, the person who laughs in the end isn't necessarily the strongest."
"Oh?"
Zhu Yan also smiled. He lowered his head to look at the scarlet-red magma flowing between his fingers and said, "Who laughs in the end?"
A smile surfaced on Mu Chen's handsome face as he replied, "A person with good luck."
Zhu Yan frowned.
However, Mu Chen didn't say anything else. Instead, he patted the huge stone pillar beside him again. This time, Zhu Yan saw light flash in Mu Chen's palm and fuse into the stone pillar.
However, before he could think deeply about it, he felt the large hall start to tremble. Huge rocks started to fall from the top of the large hall.
This sudden turn of events caused Zhu Yan to be slightly startled. He immediately raised his head, only to see the ceiling of the large hall start to crack open. In the end, it rapidly collapsed, revealing the sky outside. As the sky appeared, he saw the huge Spiritual Array densely covered with a deep green tornado that enveloped the large hall.
That Spiritual Array had obstructed him for a long time. If he hadn't made preparations, he might not have been able to enter the large hall.
It was also at this moment that he seemed to have thought of something. His face, which had always been emotionless, finally started to change.
That was because he could feel that the Guru level Spiritual Array outside the large hall seemed to have formed a subtle connection with Mu Chen.
At this moment, Mu Chen also raised his head. With a calm expression, he looked at Zhu Yan and said in an indifferent voice, "Since you don't want to leave, then don't leave now."
