Under the night sky, the four figures stood on top of the tree like ghosts. Their entire bodies were wrapped in black robes, and even their faces couldn't be seen clearly. Only their eyes, which were brimming with killing intent, could be seen.
Around the four of them, there was an astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuation. Judging from their strength, they had all reached the Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase!
This lineup caused Mu Chen's pupils to involuntarily shrink. Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase. Even in the elite Adventure Teams that he'd seen before, they would definitely be leaders. How could there be four of them?
On their way here, they had never provoked any powerful forces. Why would trouble come knocking on their door?
"Who are you?!"
Mu Chen's voice was deep as he coldly shouted. If he was facing a Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase opponent, he wouldn't need to expend much effort to defeat them. However, there were four of them in front of him. Furthermore, from the looks of it, the four of them had clearly experienced hundreds of battles. The killing intent in their eyes was obviously accumulated from killing too many people. This kind of opponent was completely different from the Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase seniors of Hokuang Reiwon!
However, facing Mu Chen's shout, the four black figures acted as if they didn't hear it. However, the killing intent in their eyes became even denser.
Looking at their formation, Mu Chen's heart sunk even further. These fellows were well-trained. They weren't an ordinary adventurer group from the start.
"Kill!"
A cold voice suddenly came out from the mouth of one of the black figures. Shortly after, the four of them rushed out at the same time. With a clench of their hands, a long black spear appeared in their hands.
Spiritual Energy surged and turned into earth-shattering sharp spear shadows that enveloped Mu Chen and Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's expression slightly changed when he saw the four of them act so decisively.
He clenched his hand, and black light condensed. The Nine-layered Pagoda appeared and rapidly expanded.
Clang!
Numerous spear shadows fiercely stabbed the Nine-layered Pagoda.
However, the Nine-layered Pagoda only trembled slightly. Not even a mark was left on the body of the pagoda.
Whoosh!
However, the four of them weren't easy to deal with. When they saw how strong Mu Chen's defense was, two of them turned around. Their spearheads bypassed Mu Chen and shot towards Su Ling 'er, who was protected by Mu Chen.
Seeing this, Su Ling 'er's jade-like hands hurriedly grabbed onto the fiery red whip on her waist.
The long whip whizzed out like a fiery python.
It brought along billowing spiritual power.
It collided head-on with the two incoming spear shadows.
Bang!
Erratic Spiritual Energy swept out, causing the surrounding giant trees to be forcefully snapped apart. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the two spectre-like black figures shot out.
As he got closer to Su Ling'er, the tip of his spear glowed with a cold light.
It went straight for Su Ling 'er's vitals.
Faced with the combined attacks of two Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase opponents, Su Ling'er instantly fell into a disadvantageous position. Furthermore, the ruthlessness of her attacks couldn't be compared to those two. Therefore, she was surrounded by perils and her pretty face turned a little pale.
Whoosh!
Two chilling spear lights suddenly shot out and pierced through Su Ling'er's fiery red whip. Like bolts of lightning, they shot towards Su Ling 'er's shoulders. The force of the attack was incomparably fierce.
Su Ling'er was also startled by the ruthlessness of her opponent's attack. She hurriedly retreated. Shortly after, her delicate figure trembled and she was stuck to a tree trunk. Her pretty face was abnormally pale.
Clang!
However, just as the spear shadows were about to pierce Su Ling'er, a Nine-layered Pagoda descended from the sky and enveloped Su Ling'er.
Ding!
The black spear, which contained astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations, heavily struck the Nine-layered Pagoda. However, it was dissolved by the rippling layers of black halos.
The black light pagoda rapidly shrunk. A figure swept out from the side and pulled Su Ling'er's slender waist into his embrace. His figure was like a cunning rabbit as he rushed into the dark forest.
"Chase!"
When the four figures saw this, they immediately shouted and quickly chased after him.
Mu Chen hugged Su Ling 'Er as he flew through the forest. He lowered his head and looked at the pale-faced girl in his arms. Her heart was still palpitating as he asked, "Are you alright?"
Su Ling'er shook her head and said, "Thank you. What should we do now?"
The other party had four Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase experts. Although one of them was also a Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase expert, Su Ling'er didn't have much battle experience. She might not even be able to defeat one of them. As for Mu Chen, although he had many tricks up his sleeves, this wasn't a fair and square fight. The other party wouldn't give Mu Chen any time to prepare.
Their situation was extremely bad.
"Can we delay until big sister and the others arrive?"
Su Ling'er asked in a low voice. If Su Xuan and the others were here, the other party wouldn't be a threat.
"The other party is experienced and their target is extremely clear. Previously, they purposely lured your sister and the others away in order to attack us first. I think they want to capture us and make your sister and the others hesitate in taking action." Mu Chen's figure swept through the forest like a cheetah as he said in a low voice.
"If I bring you along, I'm afraid that they will catch up to us very quickly."
Hearing this, Su Ling'er's eyes instantly revealed an anxious expression, "Then what should we do?"
"I have to put you down first." Mu Chen glanced behind him. There, four figures were quickly chasing after them.
"Ah?"
Su Ling'er was stunned. Her face immediately turned snow-white and her beautiful eyes became misty. She grabbed onto Mu Chen's clothes, "Mu Chen, you bastard!
Put me down. I don't need you to save me! "
Seeing her expression, Mu Chen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He helplessly said, "What are you thinking? If I bring you along, they will eventually catch up. Therefore, I can only hide you and lure them away. After that, you can quickly find your sister and the others."
Su Ling'er's face turned red. However, she couldn't care less at this moment. She anxiously said, "No, it's too dangerous for you to lure them away alone."
She had just witnessed how powerful those four people were. They were filled with killing intent and their attacks were vicious. They were definitely not the same as when she sparred with her seniors in Hokuang Reiwon.
"I know what I'm doing."
Mu Chen shook his head. There was an unquestionable tone in his voice. Shortly after, his figure flashed past. With a suction force, he sucked a bunch of green leaves from the bushes. Then, he quickly crushed the leaves and sprayed the smelly juice on Su Ling'er's body.
"This juice can cover up the smell on your body. Later, I will throw you out. At that time, you can immediately hide and suppress your Spiritual Energy fluctuations. That way, they won't be able to find you." After Mu Chen finished, he immediately said.
Su Ling'er saw that he had done all of this with such proficiency. She was a little stunned. She slightly raised her head. Under the thin moonlight, she could see Mu Chen's handsome face. However, at this moment, his face was filled with coldness. He no longer had his usual gentleness. The sharp expression on his face was like an abnormally sharp longsword that was quietly unsheathed from its sheath.
"Mu Chen, this is a Middle Rank Spiritual Artifact that I exchanged for in Hokuang Reiwon's Spiritual Values Hall. You can use it first."
Su Ling'er took out a longsword. The longsword was dark green in color. Vaguely, there was a sharp sword aura emitting from the sheath.
Mu Chen nodded his head. He had never had a Spiritual Artifact. Although he had obtained it in a hurry, it could at least increase his fighting strength.
"Be careful."
Mu Chen's speed suddenly increased. He turned his body and rushed out. The instant his body disappeared into the darkness, he immediately threw Su Ling'er, who was in his embrace, out.
Su Ling'er's body was in mid-air. She twisted her waist and quietly leaped onto a large tree. Then, she hid her body in the dense leaves and quickly suppressed the Spiritual Energy that was circulating in her body.
She anxiously looked down. Soon, there were four ghost-like black figures following closely behind. When they arrived, they slightly paused and swept their gazes around. Then, they immediately chased after Mu Chen.
"Hurry up. We can't hold them off any longer. We need to get rid of those two as soon as possible!"
As they left, Su Ling'er could still faintly hear some low voices coming along with the sound of the wind.
Su Ling'er did not immediately jump down from the tree and escape. Instead, she hid within the dense leaves. She knew that Mu Chen had taken a great risk to ensure her safety. She could not be reckless and cause Mu Chen's plan to fail.
"Mu Chen, you must be careful!"
Su Ling'er clenched her fists tightly. Her beautiful eyes stared at the direction where Mu Chen and the four ghost-like figures had disappeared. Her beautiful eyes were filled with anxiety and worry.
Swoosh!
She waited for a long time. When everything finally calmed down, she nimbly jumped down and quickly flew towards the direction of the camp.
"Mu Chen, you must hold on. I'll immediately find my sister and the rest to save you!"
Within the dark and gloomy forest, Mu Chen's figure was akin to a black leopard in the shadows as he quietly swept past. His hand slowly grasped onto the green longsword at his waist as he shot a glance behind him. The whooshing sounds coming from that direction grew increasingly hurried as four faintly discernible black figures chased after him.
"Are they following me?"
Mu Chen softly muttered to himself. Soon after, he stuck out his tongue and lightly licked his lips. Within his black pupils, a scarlet red light gushed out. At this moment, he looked like a ferocious wolf that was about to pounce on its prey.
"It's been a long time since I've made a move like this. Since you guys don't give up, let's see who's the real hunter!"
The corners of Mu Chen's mouth rose into an excited arc. The urge to hunt and kill had been suppressed by him for a long time. In Hokuang Reiwon, he had to maintain the status of a student. However, in this place, he no longer had any misgivings!
Moonlight shone through the cracks in the forest, forming a somewhat cold arc on the handsome face of the youth. At this moment, his side profile appeared indifferent.
Next, it was time for the Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road to reveal his fangs.
