The area outside of the trading grounds suddenly turned fiery hot. Whooshing sounds continuously rang out from the surrounding forest. After which, numerous figures rushed out. Their eyes were a little astonished as they stared at the two figures facing each other on the mountain peak a short distance away.
Perhaps many people here were unfamiliar with Mu Chen, but they were quite familiar with Chu Qi. In this area, the Chu Clan could be considered as one of the strongest forces. Everyone knew the name of Chu Qi.
The confrontation between the two of them was undoubtedly very eye-catching.
"At least you still have some guts." Chu Qi stared at Mu Chen and slowly said.
"A Spirit Stage Middle Phase isn't worth me being afraid of."
Mu Chen smiled. Although he had just advanced to the Spirit Stage, he was not someone that anyone could underestimate.
"I hope that you have the strength to back up your words. I also don't believe that the person she likes is too weak."
Chu Qi slowly clenched his fists. A dark yellow Spiritual Energy swept out from his body like a storm. The Spiritual Energy that he cultivated gave off a heavy feeling like the earth.
"I won't hold back!"
Chu Qi suddenly shouted out and stomped heavily on the ground. At this moment, the mountain seemed to tremble for a moment. His body was like a meteorite that streaked across the sky as he charged straight towards Mu Chen with a powerful gust of wind.
"Meteorite Wave!"
Chu Qi's body was in mid-air. A dark yellow Spiritual Energy quickly gathered on his fists. In just a few breaths' time, his fists grew to a size of a dozen feet. As it gathered, it was like a small meteorite falling from the sky.
Woo woo.
The sharp sound of wind breaking spread out. The shocking wind pressure caused the trees below to break.
Even the ground had caved in.
Chu Qi's first move was a real killing move. It was obvious that he did not intend to warm up with Mu Chen. He wanted to defeat Mu Chen as soon as possible!
Mu Chen slightly raised his head.
Looking at the powerful attack that was accompanied by a shadow, his expression did not change. His hand clenched into a fist.
Three black light seals appeared one after another.
He punched out!
The three Limitless Death Seals instantly burst forth with black rays of light. They turned into black rays of light and shot out in a straight line. Overbearing Spiritual Energy ripples rippled out, causing the air to distort.
Bang, bang, bang!
The moment the three Limitless Death Seals were about to come into contact with Chu Qi, they suddenly exploded. Layers of black ripples spread out, like heavy waves stacking on top of each other.
The momentum was shocking.
Black and yellow light.
In the air, the banquet blossomed like fireworks.
A spiritual force shockwave visible to the naked eye spread out, uprooting all the trees on the mountain top.
Smoke and dust rose.
In mid-air.
Chu Qi took two steps back and looked at the yellow dust that filled the mountaintop below.
He had not tried to probe Mu Chen's strength when he made his move earlier. However, he did not expect Mu Chen to be able to block it head-on.
"Rumble!"
Within the smoke and dust, a low thunderous roar suddenly rang out. Faintly, a light array seemed to be faintly discernible. In the next instant, a bolt of lightning whistled out like an enraged python. It tore through the sky and headed straight for Chu Qi.
"Spiritual Array?!"
The unique Spiritual Energy ripples instantly caused Chu Qi to be slightly startled. His eyes flashed and he did not dodge. He took a step forward and clenched his fist. The clothes on his arm instantly shattered and green veins wiggled on his arm like dragons. Then, he threw a punch out.
Bang!
Even the air exploded from Chu Qi's punch. As the violent Spiritual Energy swept out, the wind from his fist directly smashed against the lightning python that was shooting towards him. The powerful force caused the lightning python to explode with a single punch.
"I never thought that you would be a Spiritual Array Master. However, such a powerful Spiritual Array is useless against me." Chu Qi landed on the edge of the cliff. He looked at the dust-filled area and said in a deep voice.
"Is that so?
Then I'll give you a powerful one! "
Laughter resounded from within the dust that blotted the skies. In the next instant, an astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuation swept out from within. The yellow dust was completely blown away, revealing the scene below.
Over there, Mu Chen's figure was tall and slender. Above his head, a large and dazzling golden Spiritual Array had already condensed and formed. Extremely sharp Spiritual Energy ripples started to spread out, bit by bit, causing deep marks to appear on the surrounding ground.
"That's a Rank 2 Spiritual Array?"
The gazes that shot towards the area where the two were fighting were startled. In the next instant, an uproar broke out. This Mu Chen was actually a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master?
"Golden Wheel Soulrending Array!"
Mu Chen smiled towards Chu Qi, who was looking at the golden light array with a focused gaze. With a flick of his finger, the golden Spiritual Array instantly emitted a buzzing sound. In the next instant, a sawtooth-covered golden Spiritual Energy wheel fiercely shot out from the Spiritual Array.
Swish!
The speed of the golden wheel was extremely fast. Many people could only see a flash of golden light and a faint tear mark left behind in the sky.
Only a few Spirit Stage powerhouses had a serious expression on their faces. The golden wheel was too sharp. If they were to be hit by it head-on, even a Spirit Stage Initial Phase powerhouse would be instantly killed.
When the two of them fought, they were quite ruthless.
The golden light was also rapidly expanding in Chu Qi's eyes. The sharp wind also caused his expression to become serious. Only now did he understand why Mu Chen did not care much about him. It turned out that Mu Chen was still hiding his identity as a Rank 2 Spiritual Array Master beneath the Spirit Stage Initial Phase.
However, even though these methods were powerful, it was still not enough to make him, Chu Qi, admit defeat!
Boom!
A dense Spiritual Energy swept out from Chu Qi's body. At this moment, both of his eyes gradually changed into a dark green color. He took a step forward and a low roar came from his throat.
The Spiritual Energy light gathered behind Chu Qi and vaguely, it seemed to have turned into a huge Spiritual Beast light figure.
The Spiritual Beast light figure was completely golden, as if it was wearing a golden crystal armor. A pair of beast eyes were dark green and it was majestic.
"Is that the Jade-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast?
It's ranked 99th on the Myriad Beast Record's Earth Ranking. The outstanding ones among them can even be compared to Low Rank Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts! "
"Is this the Spiritual Beast's Soul Essence that Chu Qi refined?
It's truly powerful! "
The Spiritual Beast light figure.
It appeared behind Chu Qi and once again roared. He clenched his fist and threw a punch.
As the fist whistled, the Jade-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast roared and threw a beast hoof that was covered in golden crystals.
The fist and the beast hoof fused together and a golden light surged.
The energy fluctuation instantly increased.
"Clang!"
The wind from Chu Qi's fist carried a monstrous golden light as it smashed against the golden wheel. Immediately, the sound of metal clashing resounded through the sky. A golden light wave swept out like a wave and rumbled into the distance.
"Break for me!"
Chu Qi shouted and the golden light on his arm surged again. The Jade-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast behind him roared towards the sky and Spiritual Energy surged.
Clang!
Chu Qi fiercely punched the golden wheel again.
A terrifying power poured out.
On the golden wheel.
Finally, cracks appeared on it and it exploded under the shocked gazes of the crowd.
"Powerful!"
Many people secretly sucked in a breath of cold air.
Chu Qi was truly powerful. He actually destroyed the golden wheel that could instantly kill a Spirit Stage Initial Phase powerhouse.
This kind of power could even be considered as outstanding within the Spirit Stage Middle Phase.
"Sister Ye, will Brother Mu be alright?"
When Mo Ling and the others saw how fierce Chu Qi was, they were a bit worried. This guy was obviously much stronger than Ge Hai.
Ye Qingling's pretty face was also solemn. She had seen how powerful Mu Chen's Spiritual Array was. On that day, it instantly killed a Spirit Stage Initial Phase Spiritual Beast with a powerful defense and heavily injured two others. With that kind of power, even a Spirit Stage Middle Phase powerhouse would have to temporarily avoid it. However, who would have thought that Chu Qi would be so fierce and directly destroy it in a head-on manner.
"He actually forced Chu Qi to use the power of the Jade-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast so quickly." On a hill not far away, the handsome boy also had a solemn expression as he muttered to himself.
"Mu Chen, in order to defeat you, I used my strongest power. This is enough respect for you!"
In the sky, Chu Qi's emerald eyes were filled with sharpness as he stared at Mu Chen. Immediately, he took a step forward. The Jade-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast behind him also roared towards the sky. A golden light gathered towards its arms at an astonishing speed. At this moment, the Spiritual Aura in the world seemed to be slightly turbulent.
"Golden Crystal Divine Fist!"
Chu Qi's roar suddenly resounded. He clenched his fists tightly and then, with a slow speed, he punched out bit by bit. The moment his fists punched out, a golden blazing sun seemed to form under his fists. In an instant, the light covered the entire sky and caused countless people's eyes to feel a stinging pain.
"Boom!"
Chu Qi's body trembled and his face seemed to have turned pale. On the surface of his fists, the golden blazing sun had already descended towards Mu Chen along with the Jade-Eyed Golden Crystal Beast's roar.
Boom Boom!
The air trembled under the golden blazing sun. The mountain peak that Mu Chen was standing on also trembled violently. Boulders continuously collapsed and fell.
Mu Chen raised his head. His black pupils reflected the descending golden blazing sun. The powerful energy contained within it caused his expression to turn serious. Even within the Spirit Stage Middle Phase, Chu Qi's strength could be considered as quite outstanding.
"Huff."
A cloud of white gas was slowly spat out from Mu Chen's mouth. A bit of coldness surged out from his black pupils. He knew that recently, many people had their eyes on him. And Chu Qi was only the first to make a move.
In order to get rid of the endless troubles, he also needed to display his strength.
He needed to let everyone know that even if he, Mu Chen, was expelled from the Spiritual Road, even if he, Mu Chen, did not experience the Spiritual Road's Empowerment, he was still the same Mu Chen!
Mu Chen slowly relaxed his fist. A faint golden light surged out from the center of his palm. Rays of golden light gathered at the center of his palm. Faintly, a golden tower engraving appeared on the center of his palm.
Mu Chen's eyes were sharp as he fiercely soared into the sky. Golden light surged out from the center of his palm and the golden tower engraving on the center of his palm seemed to have become lifelike.
The appearance of the golden tower seemed to be able to suppress everything in the world.
