On the giant boulder, the three Wang brothers looked at Mu Chen, whose expression had gradually darkened. Their eyes slightly narrowed as they slowly tightened their grip on their crescent blades.
The one seated on the boulder was obviously their eldest brother, Wang Tong. He faintly frowned as he looked at Mu Chen, whose eyes had abruptly turned cold after his words. He did not expect the latter to have such a reaction to his words.
"No wonder all of you have always been defeated by Li Xuantong."
Mu Chen raised his head. His gaze did not fluctuate much as he stared at the three people in front of him. The smile at the corner of his mouth turned somewhat harsh and offensive. "All you have is ambition, but no strength. Perhaps Li Xuantong will not even consider you three as his opponents."
After hearing Mu Chen's words, the expressions of the three Wang brothers turned ugly. Green veins popped up on their palms as their chilling gazes locked onto Mu Chen. The latter's words could be considered to have ripped open the scar on their hearts.
Back then, not long after the three of them came to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, they were prideful and they were naturally unwilling to be ordinary. Thus, they joined hands to challenge Li Xuantong, who was already an influential figure in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. However, the outcome was the three of them suffering a crushing defeat. At that time, Li Xuantong did not have the bearing of a victor, he only cast an indifferent glance at them before leaving.
His indifferent gaze deeply provoked the three Wang brothers. From then on, they kept a low profile and bitterly trained. Now that their strength had greatly increased, they even had the ability to charge into the top 10 of the Heavenly Rankings. They believed that if they were to meet Li Xuantong again, they would definitely be able to wipe away their previous humiliation.
The black-faced Wang Lei had the most fiery temper. He viciously stared at Mu Chen and said in a stern voice, "Are you courting death?"
"A Quasi-Heavenly Transformation stage new student.
You actually dare to spout such nonsense in front of us three brothers. Looks like allowing you to receive three moves from Li Xuantong has given you too much confidence. "Wang Zhong also sneered as he ridiculed.
"Looks like you have a huge reaction to my words." Wang Tong's gaze remained cold as he faintly drooped down.
"However, since you've already said it, you naturally have to pay a price for your words. I hope that you can truly afford it."
"Bang!"
Before he could finish shouting, Wang Lei, who had the most impatient personality, had already let out a sinister laugh.
He abruptly tightened his grip on the peerlessly sharp crescent blade as he took a step forward, and a shocking Spiritual Energy fluctuation surged out explosively.
"Heavenly Transformation Stage middle stage!"
The faces of An Ran and the other two girls instantly changed. No wonder the three Wang brothers were so insolent. It turned out that their strength had already advanced to such a degree!
With the strength of three Heavenly Transformation Stage middle stage experts, coupled with their tacit cooperation, they could even fight a Heavenly Transformation Stage late stage expert head on. It was no wonder that they dared to come out of seclusion to find trouble with Li Xuantong.
"Brat, I thought it would be fine as long as you hand over Lingguang and her.
But you don't know what's good for you.
Then don't blame me for being heavy-handed! "
Wang Lei held the crescent blade in his hand.
With a move of his body, he had already appeared above Mu Chen like a bolt of lightning, his hands tightly gripping the hilt of his blade.
With a loud roar, resplendent lightning flashed.
It suddenly spread out from the blade, and there was a faint sound of thunder.
"Rolling Thunder Slash!"
As he roared, an overbearing blade of lightning abruptly shot down. Akin to a violent bolt of lightning, it enveloped a radius of a dozen feet around Mu Chen's body.
Mu Chen raised his head, and within his black pupils, there was a reflection of the resplendent lightning.
Boom!
In the end, the lightning blade fiercely struck the place where Mu Chen was standing. Immediately, the ground trembled, and cracks spread out from the place where the blade had landed.
"Mu Chen!" When An Ran and the rest saw Mu Chen being struck by the blade, they instantly cried out in alarm.
Luo Li, who was at the side, looked at this scene with her clear eyes. She didn't have the slightest bit of panic. However, her jade-like hands had also grasped onto the hilt of her sword. Her glass-like eyes were filled with a faint chill as they locked onto the Wang brothers.
"Can't even withstand a single blow. I really don't know how you managed to receive three of Li Xuantong's moves."
In the sky, Wang Lei held the crescent blade as he stood proudly. He looked at the area that was filled with dust and couldn't help curling the corner of his mouth. This brat couldn't even dodge one of his moves. He really didn't know where he got the courage to put on an act in front of them.
"Is that so?"
A faint laughter that was filled with a chill suddenly rang out from behind Wang Lei. His face instantly changed, and the crescent blade in his hand seemed to have reflexively brought along a domineering blade light as it fiercely slashed behind him.
The pitch-black Spiritual Energy was burning with black flames. It was like a rising smoke signal, and it brought along an extremely blazing fluctuation as it swept out. It directly collided with the blade light without dodging.
Clang!
The sound of metal clashing resounded as sparks flew. Wang Lei's hand, which was tightly holding onto the crescent blade, trembled. Under the bombardment of the pitch-black Spiritual Energy, his blade, which was covered by the lightning blade light, became a lot dimmer.
Bang!
Bang!
However, before he could feel astonished, a figure flashed before his eyes like a ghost. The figure's entire body was wrapped in pitch-black Spiritual Energy. Fists, elbows, legs, his entire body seemed to have turned into a battle machine at this moment. His attacks were like a tidal wave, hiding the skies and covering the earth as they swept towards him.
The sudden and violent attacks immediately caused Wang Lei to be at a loss. While he was defending, he appeared to be in a sorry state. Blazing and violent Spiritual Energy poured into his body from the places that were struck. It wantonly wreaked havoc, causing waves of intense pain to come from his meridians and muscles.
Below, An Ran's group of three, as well as the people from the three teams that were dealt with by the Wang brothers, had their mouths slightly open as they looked at the scene in the sky. In an instant, Wang Lei, who was originally sneering, had fallen into a complete disadvantage.
In this face-to-face confrontation, Mu Chen, whose strength was only at the Quasi-Heavenly Transformation Stage, had actually completely suppressed Wang Lei, whose strength was at the Heavenly Transformation Stage Middle Phase!
Boom!
In the sky, the black light and the figure that was flickering with lightning clashed together. Spiritual Energy ripples spread out like ripples. Shortly after, the lightning figure was blown away in a sorry state. As the lightning light weakened, it revealed Wang Lei's face, which was filled with disbelief.
Relying on the robust Spiritual Energy of the Heavenly Transformation Stage Middle Phase, he actually couldn't defeat the Quasi-Heavenly Transformation Stage Mu Chen in a head-on confrontation?
Rustle!
While he was slightly absent-minded from disbelief, the ghost-like figure appeared in the sky once again. Then, a fist fiercely smashed down. The pitch-black Spiritual Energy was like a volcanic eruption, bringing along a powerful force that could shatter mountains.
Clang!
In a panic, Wang Lei hastily blocked the attack with his crescent blade. Thereafter, he felt an exceptionally overbearing and blazing Spiritual Energy frantically pouring in. Under the corrosion of that Spiritual Energy, the blade light on the crescent blade instantly dimmed.
Spiritual Energy gushed out as Wang Lei turned into a streak of light and fell down. In the end, he heavily shot into the ground. Instantly, the ground trembled as smoke and dust surged. The ground split open and a huge crater appeared. As for Wang Lei, he was miserably lying within it with a trace of blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.
Pffft.
In the end, he spat out a mouthful of blood as his eyes were filled with disbelief.
"Now, do you understand how I received three of Li Xuantong's moves?"
An emotionless voice rang out in front of him. Raising his head, he saw Mu Chen standing not too far away. The surface of the latter's body seemed to be suffused with a faint silvery light, while his black pupils were as cold as a blade.
His face slightly changed as he immediately retreated.
Rustle!
However, Mu Chen didn't let him off so easily. He took a step forth and a dragon roar seemed to resound. In a flash, he appeared before Wang Lei.
"You dare!"
Wang Tong and Wang Zhong saw that Mu Chen was closing in on them without the slightest bit of mercy, and suddenly gave a fierce roar. However, just as they were about to take a step forward and take action, a clear sword cry abruptly rang out. A swift and fierce Sword Aura that seemed to cause even the heavens and earth to tremble faintly locked onto them.
The Sword Aura was incomparably sharp, causing their faces to change. Tilting their heads, they saw Luo Li staring at them from a short distance away. The black longsword in her jade-like hand was already halfway out of its scabbard. The Sword Aura was emitted from it.
The faces of Wang Tong and Wang Lei turned completely solemn. They finally understood that the boy and girl before them weren't as easy to deal with as they had imagined.
"Bang!"
A deep muffled sound rang out in front of them as another figure miserably shot out. In the end, it violently shot into the huge rock beneath their feet, causing it to instantly shatter.
Wang Lei miserably spat out a mouthful of blood. Looking at the youth that was slowly walking over, his eyes were finally filled with shock.
This time, they had stepped on the wrong target!
Although they did not look down on Mu Chen, they never expected that this new student would actually be so troublesome to deal with.
"If this is all you have, then don't go find Li Xuantong and embarrass yourselves."
Mu Chen indifferently looked at the three Wang brothers. His eyes slightly drooped as he said: "Bring out some real matters. You will have to pay a price for your words. These words were said by you guys, so I believe that you guys should understand."
Wang Tong's expression was a little dark. With a clench of his hand, a crescent blade appeared in a flash. The blade's hilt heavily stomped on the ground as blade light soared into the sky. Even the clouds were torn apart.
"Such big words. I admit that I was wrong. However, you don't have the qualifications to make us three brothers admit defeat!"
Wang Tong's expression was cold and stern. He took a step forward as the blade light that blotted the skies became even more ferocious. Even the ground was sliced into pieces.
"Today, I want to see what kind of price you can make us three brothers pay!"
"This was originally prepared for Li Xuantong. This time, we'll use it to entertain you. Let's see if you have the ability to endure it!"
His hand tightly gripped the crescent blade. Behind him, Wang Lei and Wang Zhong's eyes were also filled with malevolence. The three of them wielded their large blades as overbearing blade light filled the air. A low and deep thunder roar faintly resounded across the area.
(Sorry for being late by 20 minutes.)
