Swoosh!
Within the majestic Northern Spirit Mountain, two figures dashed through the air, one in front and one behind. Tyrannical Spiritual Energy rippled around their bodies, ready to deal with any sudden changes at any time.
Far behind the two of them, there were a few figures trailing far behind them. However, they were separated by a certain distance from each other. After all, everyone here could be considered as competitors. Unless they had a relationship like Mu Chen and Luo Li, the majority of them would maintain their vigilance and guard against each other.
Although the number of Spiritual Beasts hiding within the Northern Spirit Mountain had decreased by a lot, each of them were extremely powerful. Even the weakest Spiritual Beast was able to contend against a Spirit Stage Late Phase powerhouse. With such a flock, even Mu Chen and the others would have to spend some effort to deal with them.
Screech!
Suddenly, a sharp sound could be heard from above. The dense forest was suddenly torn apart and several large Spiritual Beasts flew down. Their metal-like claws tore through the air and fiercely clawed at Mu Chen and Luo Li's heads.
Swoosh!
Luo Li's slender feet lightly tapped on the tree trunk as her delicate body flew forward. Her jade-like hands tightly gripped onto the black longsword as she flew through the air. A black sword beam swept out and swept past the three Spiritual Beasts that even a Spirit Stage Late Phase powerhouse couldn't deal with.
As the black sword beam swept past, the three Spiritual Beasts' strange cries suddenly stopped. With a bang, they were directly split into two halves. Fresh blood and internal organs splattered out and heavily fell onto the ground.
Luo Li's attack was direct and efficient. She didn't even have the slightest bit of hesitation because of the obstruction. Her delicate body moved and caught up to Mu Chen.
"We're already close to the middle of the mountain. If we go any further, we'll reach the peak." Mu Chen raised his head.
His eyes were a little serious as he stared at the endless sky. The real trouble would be when they were close to the peak.
There were Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts guarding that place. Moreover, they didn't know how many of them there were and what their ranks were. If a powerful Spiritual Beast appeared, even a Heavenly Fusion Stage powerhouse would have a hard time passing through.
"Be careful." Luo Li softly said.
She could also sense that there were some dangerous fluctuations coming from the top of the mountain.
Roar!
Just when Mu Chen nodded his head, a roar suddenly resounded in front of them. The roar was filled with violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Then, the fluctuations swept out and broke some towering trees.
Mu Chen's and Luo Li's eyes narrowed. A Spiritual Beast that possessed such an imposing aura.
A Spiritual Beast that could possess such might must be a Heaven Rank Spiritual Beast.
"Ah!"
When the roar resounded.
Roars resounded in the air.
Mu Chen and Luo Yunyang hastily flew out. Not far away, there was a hundred-foot-long deep yellow python coiled around.
Spiritual energy Spiritual Energy Spiritual Energy Spiritual Spiritual Dragon's Spiritual Spiritual Energy Beast.
Its sinister mouth was filled with jagged and sharp teeth. Saliva continuously dripped from its mouth, corroding the ground and creating holes.
Around the giant python, there were a dozen people retreating in shock. Their faces were pale and their auras were unstable. Clearly, they had suffered heavy injuries.
When Mu Chen and Luo Yunyang saw the python, their eyes narrowed as they recognised it.
Mountain Devouring Python, a Heaven Rank Spiritual Beast. It was ranked 86th on the Myriad Beast Record's Earth Ranking.
Even a Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase expert wouldn't be able to deal with an adult Mountain Devouring Python. However, Mu Chen and Rank of Spiritual Energy Sea were relieved. The Mountain Devouring Python in front of them was only at the Heavenly Fusion Stage Initial Phase. However, the Flying Dragon Association couldn't compare to it.
"Hiss!"
When Mu Chen and Rank of Spiritual Energy Sea appeared, the rampaging Mountain Devouring Python suddenly stopped. It stared at them with its ferocious triangular eyes and flicked its tongue. It was obvious that it sensed danger from Mu Chen and Rank of Spiritual Energy Sea.
The Mountain Devouring Python blocked the path to the top of the mountain. If they didn't get rid of it, they wouldn't be able to pass.
"Let me."
Mu Chen laughed. Then, he flew out. Dark-black Spiritual Energy swept out from his body like a tidal wave. It was an astonishing sight.
"Boom!"
When the Mountain Devouring Python noticed Mu Chen charging over, it swung its massive tail fiercely. A giant boulder that was hundreds of feet tall appeared on the ground as it charged fiercely towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's gaze was indifferent as he sent a fist rumbling out. Surging Spiritual Energy surged out as he smashed the giant boulder into dust. At this moment, time was extremely precious. He did not want to be delayed by it for too long.
"Vajra Pagoda!"
Mu Chen sent a palm patting out. Dark-black Spiritual Energy swept out like thick smoke and a gigantic golden light hand condensed. At the center of the palm, a black pagoda pattern was faintly discernible as a mysterious ripple spread out.
Boom!
Once the giant golden glowing hand was formed, it whizzed forth and pressed down on the Mountain Swallowing Python. At the same time, the latter suddenly let out a sharp cry as all the scales on its body stood up. Deep yellow light gathered in its giant mouth, transforming into a giant deep yellow light beam that violently shot out and viciously charged at the giant golden glowing hand that was pressing down on it.
Bang!
As the two of them violently clashed in the air, the Spiritual Energy shockwaves caused the entire forest to be flattened. The towering trees were all uprooted, a spectacle that was rather astonishing.
However, the Mountain Swallowing Python's obstruction did not have much of an effect. The black tower pattern on the giant golden light hand squirmed as if it was trying to suppress the deep yellow light beam. As a result, the latter rapidly crumbled.
Bang! Bang!
Bang! The huge golden hand shattered the powerful Spiritual Energy light beam. It whizzed down and heavily slammed against the huge body of the Mountain Devouring Python.
Boom!
The earth seemed to violently tremble. At this moment, the Mountain Devouring Python also let out a painful cry. The scales on its huge body shattered and hot blood flowed out. However, the life force of a Heaven Rank Spiritual Beast was extremely tenacious. Even after suffering such a heavy blow from Mu Chen, it was still incomparably ferocious. Its huge tail swept across and tore through the air. It furiously slammed down on Mu Chen.
Swish!
Mu Chen's figure trembled and an afterimage appeared. Like a ghost, he appeared behind the Mountain Devouring Python. Two of his fingers were bent and a golden light surged. It was like a spear light that covered the sky and covered the earth as it shot out. Wherever the golden light landed, the Mountain Devouring Python's scales would shatter.
Chi Chi!
The swift and fierce golden light descended.
The Mountain Devouring Python instantly let out a sharp cry. Fresh blood splattered on its body. It frantically struggled and bit at Mu Chen.
However, it was always nimbly dodged by the latter.
The dozen figures in the surroundings looked at the incomparably miserable Mountain Devouring Python in Mu Chen's hands. Their hearts were slightly shaken. Previously, so many of them had joined hands, but they were still unable to defeat the Mountain Devouring Python. They never expected that Mu Chen would be able to do it so easily.
The Mountain Devouring Python's struggles became weaker and weaker.
The Mountain Devouring Python's struggles became weaker and weaker. Mu Chen waited for it to completely lose its resistance before bending two of his fingers. A swift and fierce golden light that was dozens of feet long pierced out. With a puchi sound, it pierced through the Mountain Devouring Python's head.
The Mountain Devouring Python's struggles suddenly came to a halt. Then, its enormous body crashed onto the ground. Upon seeing this, Mu Chen floated down.
He retrieved a ball of deep yellow light from the Mountain Devouring Python's head.
Within the ball of light.
A miniature Mountain Devouring Python was frantically struggling. It was the Mountain Devouring Python's Soul Essence.
With a flip of his hand, Mu Chen stored the Mountain Devouring Python's Soul Essence into his Mustard Seed Bracelet.
Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt all the hairs on his body stand up.
A glint flashed in his eyes as he saw an inconspicuous black light suddenly shoot out from within the black shadow. A black claw that could easily tear apart metal headed straight for the vital points on Mu Chen's back at an astonishing speed.
Ding!
The sudden sneak attack caused Mu Chen's heart to skip a beat. Just as he was about to hurriedly circulate his Spiritual Energy to defend himself, a black sword glow suddenly pierced through the air and ruthlessly hacked at the black light.
Clang!
A metallic sound rang out as the sword glow dissipated. The black light was also pushed back and landed on the ground. It was a jet-black Spirit Leopard. This Spirit Leopard did not have a single strand of fur on its body and looked as if it was forged from black metal. However, there was a pair of black wings on its back, making it look like a specter in the darkness.
A beautiful figure shot out from behind Mu Chen and headed straight for the black Spiritual Leopard. Her speed was extremely fast. In a flash, she had appeared before the black Spiritual Leopard. In the next instant, everyone could see her slender jade-like hands grabbing onto the black sword hilt.
Swoosh!
The slender figure passed by the Black Spirit Leopard. A crisp sword cry rang out as a black light appeared.
Luo Li appeared behind the Black Spirit Leopard. With a light flick of her slender jade-like fingers, a cold glint appeared on the tip of her sword. As for the Black Spirit Leopard, it swayed and fell to the ground. Its entire body had been split into two.
In the distance, the dozen people who witnessed this scene all sucked in a breath of cold air in their hearts. This Black Spirit Leopard was not an ordinary Spiritual Beast. It was also a Heaven Rank Spiritual Beast that was not weaker than the Mountain Devouring Python. Its name was the Ghost Leopard. It was extremely fast and specialized in sneak attacks. If one was careless, even a Heavenly Fusion Stage expert would die under its claws. However, no one expected that it would be instantly killed by Luo Li.
Luo Li also took out the Ghost Leopard's Soul Essence and casually kept it. Her beautiful eyes were smiling as she looked at Mu Chen.
"Well done."
Mu Chen smiled and gave a thumbs up. He had indeed been a little careless. This place was already close to the peak of the mountain, and there were countless Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts. Spiritual Beasts of this level were already extremely cunning. If one was careless, they might really fail miserably.
"Let's go."
Mu Chen waved his hand at Luo Li. He did not intend to stay. However, just when they were about to move, dozens of earth-shattering roars suddenly erupted from other directions of the majestic Northern Spirit Mountain. These roars were filled with violent Spiritual Energy and ferocity. Judging from their intensity, it was obvious that they were all Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts.
In other directions, there were also people who had started to encounter Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts.
Hearing these roars, Mu Chen and Luo Li's expressions gradually turned serious. The number of Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts here had exceeded their expectations.
"Be careful."
Mu Chen and Luo Li looked at each other and gave each other a reminder. Without staying any longer, their figures moved. Under the envious and respectful gazes of the people behind them, they turned into two streaks of light and headed straight for the majestic mountain peak.
As Mu Chen and the others rushed towards the mountain peak, Yang Hong, Mu Kui, Bing Qing and the others also rose from the ground in another direction. Behind them were the corpses of the Heaven Rank Spiritual Beasts and the mess on the ground.
