Boom!
An ear-deafening noise resounded between the heavens and earth as the massive dragon claw ruthlessly slammed against the Battle Rune Sword that covered the heavens and earth.
In the instant of the collision, space suddenly collapsed, as if it had turned into a black hole.
As the dragon claw slammed down, it was enveloped in a dense destructive aura. In that instant, the extremely overbearing sword silhouettes shattered.
Crack!
Crack!
Crack!
As the sword runes shattered, dazzling sparks of light scattered in the sky.
When Wu Tong saw this scene, his eyelids couldn't help twitching. Evidently, he never expected that Mu Chen's attack would be so powerful.
"Hmph, I don't believe that you can break through my myriad sword runes!"
Wu Tong gritted his teeth as he controlled the sword runes in the sky and shot towards the dragon claw without any hesitation.
Boom!
Boom!
The dragon claw clashed with the endless sword runes. But under the ferocious impact of the sword runes, the speed of the dragon claw had also started to slow down and the runes on it had also started to dim down.
Looking at this scene, a sneer appeared on Wu Tong's face. However, his sneer did not last long before it froze.
He saw that even though the dragon claw, which gave off a destructive aura, was obstructed by the countless sword images, it still maintained a slow and steady speed as it ruthlessly slammed towards the region he was in.
"Why is that fellow's Battle Will so refined?!"
Wu Tong squinted his eyes. In terms of the number of runes, he should have the upper hand. But evidently, Mu Chen's Battle Will was more resilient than his!
Didn't that mean that the quality of the Black Dragon Army's Battle Will that Mu Chen controlled was superior to his?
Thinking about it, Wu Tong's face turned ashen. This was something that he wasn't willing to admit.
The commander of the Black Dragon Army looked at Mu Chen in shock. As the commander of the Black Dragon Army, he understood the Black Dragon Battle Will too well. Thus, he could naturally sense that Mu Chen was more proficient in controlling the Black Dragon Battle Will than Wu Tong.
The number of Black Dragon Battle Runes was about the same, but the Black Dragon Battle Will that Mu Chen had condensed was more resilient and pure.
Up in the sky, Mu Chen looked at the dragon claw that was slowly approaching Wu Tong under the obstruction of the countless swords. He suddenly inhaled a mouthful of air and his gaze turned sharp.
Boom!
The dragon claw abruptly clenched, forming into a dragon fist with boundless Battle Will surging on it, emanating an indescribable violence.
"Shatter!"
Mu Chen barked as he threw his dragon fist out. In the next instant, the countless sword images before him exploded.
Sizzle!
The dragon fist tore apart the sword attacks. Although the dragon fist was covered in sword marks, it still brought along a terrifying force as it appeared above Wu Tong and slammed down without any leniency.
A shadow enveloped down from the sky and Wu Tong's face changed once again. Shortly after, he clenched his teeth and joined his palms together, forming seals.
Buzz!
Buzz! The boundless ocean of Battle Will violently surged before it swiftly formed into layers of Battle Will barriers that obstructed the dragon fist.
Boom!
Boom!
The massive dragon fist slammed against the layers of Battle Will barriers, shattering them. But at the same time, the Battle Runes on the dragon fist had also swiftly dimmed due to the exhaustion of the Battle Will.
In just a few breaths' time, Wu Tong had formed a few hundred barriers of Battle Will, but they were all easily destroyed by the dragon fist. But when the last barrier was destroyed, the dragon fist had also reached its limit and exploded a few dozen feet away from Wu Tong's head.
Hmph!
The impact from the shattering of the dragon fist caused Wu Tong to let out a groan. His hair was scattered and his clothes were torn. He looked to be in a miserable state.
"I was still obstructed?"
Mu Chen squinted his eyes at this scene. That attack of his was practically the strongest attack that he could bring out, but he never expected that it would still be obstructed by Wu Tong.
That fellow was clearly a troublesome opponent.
At this moment, Wu Tong's face was terrifyingly dark when he saw that he was forced into such a pathetic state by Mu Chen. He looked at Mu Chen from afar as if he wanted to devour the latter.
He initially thought that it would be easy for him to deal with Mu Chen. But after exchanging blows, he realised that this opponent that he did not pay any attention to was actually so troublesome.
This made him feel a trace of regret in his heart. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn't have allowed Mu Chen to enter this space, regardless of the price he had to pay.
"No matter what, I must obtain the Black Dragon Army!"
Wu Tong's eyes flickered with a cold light. Judging from the current situation, ordinary means wouldn't be able to deal with Mu Chen.
"Since you're courting death, then I'll fulfill your wish today!"
Wu Tong's face turned sinister as he clenched his teeth and swallowed a pellet that was hidden in his teeth.
Boom!
When the pellet entered his stomach, Wu Tong's body trembled and he felt a powerful force exploding from his body. Even his will was frantically rising at this moment.
The pellet that he had consumed was called the Battle Will Pellet. As the name implied, it could strengthen one's Battle Will. However, even though the strengthening effect was extremely powerful, it had a side effect. If one was not careful, one's will would not be able to stabilize, and even one's consciousness would be destroyed.
Wu Tong's eyes turned red as he forcefully resisted the intense pain and dizziness in his mind. After that, he suddenly formed a seal with his hands, and in the next moment, a powerful intent swept out and enveloped the Black Dragon Army once more.
He actually wanted to gather his troops again!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Under his intent, silhouettes soared into the sky and in just a few breaths' time, nearly a thousand warriors of the Black Dragon Army had joined Wu Tong's army.
"Mhm?"
The robust man knitted his brows when he saw this scene. He had clearly sensed the sudden rise in Wu Tong's intent. But according to his estimation, Wu Tong and Mu Chen should only be able to control roughly a thousand warriors.
"How is this possible?!"
Mu Chen's eyes abruptly narrowed at this scene. He had already seen through Wu Tong's ability from his previous fight with the latter. With Wu Tong's ability, it's impossible for him to control two thousand warriors of the Black Dragon Army!
If he tried to force it, his consciousness would be destroyed by the powerful Battle Will.
He knitted his brows as he looked at Wu Tong. Looking at the latter's red eyes, he could vaguely guess that Wu Tong must have used some sort of secret technique to strengthen his will. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to summon another thousand warriors.
"Brat, I'll see how you're going to fight with me this time!"
Two thousand warriors of the Black Dragon Army soared into the sky, causing the heavens and earth to distort. At this moment, the Battle Will behind Wu Tong was at least twice as powerful as before!
Giving a sinister smile to Mu Chen, Wu Tong raised his hand and pointed in the sky.
Boom!
The sky trembled and a massive beam of Battle Will shot out from the ocean of Battle Will behind Wu Tong. It pierced through space and shot towards Mu Chen without any hesitation.
When Mu Chen saw this scene, he swiftly formed seals and a dragon claw formed from the surging Battle Will once again slapped towards the beam of Battle Will.
Boom!
Both of them collided, but this time, the Dragon Claw of Battle Will was shattered by that streak of light.
Mu Chen's gaze sank. At this moment, Wu Tong's Battle Will was terrifyingly powerful, and it had clearly surpassed him.
"Haha, weren't you complacent earlier?!"
Seeing that Mu Chen was completely suppressed, Wu Tong burst into laughter and waved his hand. Waves of Battle Will shot out, shaking the horizon as they whistled towards Mu Chen.
Under Wu Tong's ferocious attacks, although Mu Chen had circulated his Battle Will to resist, he was still being pushed back. The layer of Battle Will behind him had also gradually thinned out.
At this moment, he had already shown signs of defeat.
Looking at Mu Chen being pushed back, the robust man knitted his brows. In fact, he had also sensed that Wu Tong must have used some sort of secret technique. However, they did not set up any clear rules and only fought based on the outcome.
There were many unfairness in this world, and sometimes, the outcome was the most important.
The warriors of the Black Dragon Army sighed in pity. Due to the Dragon Bloodline in their bodies, they were actually more inclined towards Mu Chen. However, they were soldiers, and they would only obey the final victor.
If Mu Chen couldn't win, then it meant that they weren't fated with each other. Since that's the case, then there's nothing they could do about it.
Boom!
Boom!
Streaks of Battle Will pierced through the horizon, destroying Mu Chen's Battle Will defences. In the end, the layer of Battle Will had also thinned out, as if it was about to dissipate.
However, no one noticed that although Mu Chen was retreating step by step and was in extreme danger, there wasn't much panic on his face. On the contrary, a chill gradually gathered in his pitch-black pupils.
His hands in his sleeves had already formed seals, as if he was waiting for something.
"Brat, kneel down now and I might spare your life!"
Wu Tong stood up and laughed with a sinister expression. At this moment, victory was already in his grasp.
With two thousand warriors of the Black Dragon Army in his hands, the Battle Will gathered wasn't something that Mu Chen could confront.
However, facing his laughter, Mu Chen responded with a smile of disdain.
"Then you can die!"
Wu Tong sneered and no longer hesitated. His hands joined together and a massive Battle Will suddenly formed into a spear that was a few hundred thousand feet in the sky. Just the number of Battle Runes on the spear alone was as high as 8.5 million!
The number of Battle Runes was something that even a Perfected Earth Sovereign would have to flee for his life!
Mu Chen looked at the huge war spear as his finger suddenly trembled. Thereafter, a smile of relief appeared on his handsome face.
"You're finally free?"
He raised his head and grinned at Wu Tong, who had a ferocious expression on his face. "I'll teach you a lesson this time. In the future, you'll regret talking too much when you fight others."
When he finished speaking, the seals that he had formed in his sleeves suddenly changed.
"Three Pures!"
Poof!
Poof!
When he formed his seals, the space beside him suddenly distorted and two silhouettes appeared in the next instant. They were naturally the black and white figures of Mu Chen.
When they appeared, they immediately sat down in the sky and a will swept out with a deep holler that resounded between the heavens and earth.
"Summon the troops!"
(To be continued.)
