Black lightning and blood light ripped apart the air, bringing along incomparably berserk fluctuations. Akin to two meteorites, they violently collided at the centre of the arena.
Boom!
At the instant of impact, even the earth seemed to violently tremble for a moment, as the ground immediately collapsed. Black lightning and scarlet-red blood waves crazily swept out from the centre of the arena, corroding each other in an attempt to completely obliterate the other party.
Layer by layer, the ground beneath Mu Chen and Xue Shi's feet turned into powder. At this moment, the hard and sturdy rocks were akin to tofu, as their feet deeply pierced into them.
The fist that curled with lightning and the fist imprint that was permeated with blood were locked in a deadlock in the air. Terrifying fluctuations radiated from the surroundings of the two fists, shaking the surrounding space to the point of showing signs of warping.
Xue Shi's expression was dark and cold. His fist, which he was determined to win, had unexpectedly been forcefully blocked by Mu Chen's physical body. Furthermore, as the two parties collided head on, the black lightning from the other party had unexpectedly caused some of the blood aura that curled around his fist to scatter.
A considerably frightening power was contained within the black lightning.
"Die!"
Xue Shi roared fiercely, as torrential blood aura continuously gushed out from his body. His entire arm appeared as if it was condensed from blood, scarlet-red and eye-piercing, while radiating with a thick stench of blood.
Black lightning seemed to flash within Mu Chen's black pupils, as a destructive fluctuation rippled out. At this moment, his upper body seemed to collapse apart.
As some of his clothes were ripped apart, a black lightning rune surfaced on his chest.
At this moment, the black lightning rune sparkled with specks of lightning, before brightening up in an instant.
Lightning God's Body, One Rune Lightning Body!
With the help of more than a month's worth of cultivation.
With the help of the Lightning God's Lotus, Mu Chen's Lightning God's Body had finally truly reached the One Rune realm!
At the instant when the lightning rune brightened, Mu Chen's body seemed to become sturdy. Black lightning curled around him, as if a lightning god had descended.
Bang!
Thunder rumbled as lightning erupted within Mu Chen's eyes, as a fist rumbled out.
"Scram!"
There was a loud roar.
Accompanied by a clap of thunder, Mu Chen's fist was accompanied by surging black lightning. It was accompanied by an unstoppable aura.
It fiercely smashed onto Xue Shi's blood-armored fist.
At the instant of contact, Xue Shi's expression finally changed drastically. Shock and astonishment gushed onto his face, because he was able to sense a frightening power.
Like a mountain torrent, it poured down.
Under that absolute power, his boundless blood-red Spiritual Energy was instantly defeated.
"Not good!"
Xue Shi cried out involuntarily in his heart.
He did not have the time to consider why Mu Chen's attack suddenly became so frightening. His figure flashed as he tried to retreat.
However, how could Mu Chen, who was equally experienced in battle, give him such a chance?
He had endured for a long time, all for the sake of activating his Thunder God Physique.
Gather your strongest strength and defeat your opponent with a single strike!
Bang!
Therefore, in the instant that Xue Shi's figure retreated, Mu Chen's power had already poured out without the slightest bit of restraint.
Boom!
Everyone was able to see the black lightning suddenly expanding at an astonishing speed on the square, while the blood-red Spiritual Energy was completely suppressed at this moment.
As a fist shot out, black lightning surged forth.
Crack!
The blood-red armor that covered Xue Shi's fist seemed to have been shattered by the fist, while those malevolent blood spikes also shattered under the impact of the black lightning.
Akin to a furious dragon that could destroy the heavens and earth, the black lightning brandished its claws and bared its fangs as it charged forward without the slightest bit of fear.
Bang!
The blood-red armor on Xue Shi's entire arm was completely shattered. A mouthful of blood violently spurted out from his mouth, while his body shot backwards like a stone that had been sent flying. In the end, it rubbed against the ground, creating a deep scar that was hundreds of metres long.
The claps of thunder within the square rapidly faded away.
The black lightning and the blood-red light dissipated bit by bit. However, the surroundings of the northern square had abruptly turned deathly silent. Everyone was blankly staring at the square, their eyes brimming with shock and astonishment.
Over there, Mu Chen still maintained the posture of having sent his fist rumbling out. In front of him, a fissure that was hundreds of metres long had been torn open on the ground. At the end of the fissure, was a stretch of ruins.
He had actually sent Xue Shi flying with a single punch!
Not only were the people from the Ancient Cauldron Spiritual Academy dumbfounded, even the Hokuang Reiwon students, who had always been extremely confident in Mu Chen, had their mouths wide open. The scene of Mu Chen sending Xue Shi flying with a single punch was truly too much of a visual impact.
"How can that punch be so formidable?"
Shock appeared within the eyes of Su Xuan and the rest. That punch from Mu Chen was absolutely sufficient to heavily injure a Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase person.
"This fellow's strength has improved once again." said Zhao Qingshan, He Yao and the rest of the people who had some conflict with Mu Chen. At this moment, a sliver of dread appeared within their eyes as they looked towards the latter. The current Mu Chen had become stronger once again compared to a month ago.
Unknowingly, the former freshman had already gradually surpassed them, and left them far behind.
Within the silence that filled the entire plaza, gazes turned towards another place. The ground there had already collapsed. Within the giant pit, a figure staggered about, before standing up in a somewhat miserable manner.
That was Xue Shi. However, at this moment, his entire body was covered in blood. His right arm drooped down powerlessly, as though his bones had been shattered by Mu Chen's previous punch.
More than half of the Blood God's Armour on Xue Shi's body had already been shattered. At this moment, it appeared exceedingly dim, as though it would dissipate away at any moment.
Obviously, the frightening attack from Mu Chen had caused him considerably heavy injuries.
"How is this possible!"
Xue Shi looked in disbelief at his powerless right arm drooped down. His Blood God's Armour had unexpectedly been destroyed by Mu Chen! That was the Blood God's Armour that was able to endure the ferocious attacks of a Heavenly Completion Stage Middle Phase expert! This Mu Chen was merely at the Heavenly Transformation Stage Late Phase. How was it possible for him to break his Blood God's Armour?
"You've lost."
Mu Chen's gaze was indifferent as he stared at Xue Shi. At this moment, the latter had already landed outside of the plaza. According to the rules, he had already lost this match.
Upon hearing Mu Chen's words, Xue Shi's face instantly contorted, while fury gushed within his eyes. He was a member of the majestic royal family of the Blood God Clan! How was it possible for him to be defeated by a nameless youth?
"I'll kill you, bastard!"
Xue Shi fiercely clenched his hand, as a long spear that seemed to be condensed from fresh blood appeared within it. Unexpectedly, he had once again shot out explosively. A cold glint shot straight towards Mu Chen's throat.
Hua.
Upon seeing that Xue Shi, who had already lost the qualifications to continue fighting, had actually disregarded the rules and still wanted to take action, an uproar instantly erupted in the surroundings, before furiously cursing out.
Mu Chen's gaze was indifferent as he looked at Xue Shi, who was shooting over explosively. With his Blood God's Armour broken, the latter's speed had already slowed down. Coupled with the heavy injuries he had suffered previously, there was no need to fear him at this moment.
Swish!
Mu Chen's figure faintly moved, while Xue Shi's pupils abruptly contracted. That was because the latter's figure had already neared his side.
"I've already said that you'll have to pay the price for injuring her. Since you're the one who broke the rules first, you can't blame me for what happens next."
At such a close distance, a blade-like sharpness erupted on Mu Chen's handsome face, while a sinister arc rose from the corners of his mouth. Towards this fellow who had used such despicable methods to injure Luo Li, killing intent had clearly been aroused.
Furthermore, there was no need for him to show any mercy towards a person who was not from Hokuang Reiwon.
Sensing the deep killing intent within Mu Chen's words, Xue Shi fiercely sobered up, while shock and terror instantly flashed within his eyes. Was this Mu Chen actually purposefully waiting for him to break the rules?
Only when he broke the rules would Mu Chen be able to take action without the slightest scruple. Even if he really killed him at that time, Mu Chen would have an excuse.
"This bastard!"
A chill surged within Xue Shi's heart. However, before he could let out a furious curse, he saw that Mu Chen's palm, with black lightning curling around it, had already violently landed on his chest.
That attack was incomparably fierce and ruthless.
"Stop!"
However, just as Mu Chen's palm was about to strike Xue Shi's chest, an explosive roar suddenly resounded across the horizon. In the next instant, Mu Chen felt an indescribable pressure sweep over. Under this pressure, his body had become sluggish.
"Haha. Dean Fei, you've broken the rules by taking action in a competition between students."
However, just as the pressure had enveloped over, another gentle and smiling voice rang out, completely dispersing the pressure that had enveloped Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's body had once again recovered.
A chilling glint flashed within his eyes, as his palm imprinted itself onto Xue Shi's chest without the slightest bit of hesitation. Thunder rang out, while his slender finger suddenly turned jet-black and deep, before quietly piercing out.
Succeeding in his attack, a feeling of danger suddenly surged within Mu Chen's heart, causing him to immediately shoot backwards. As he did so, he saw a fat figure appear beside Xue Shi, before grabbing the latter within his hand.
"What a vicious brat!"
The person who had taken action was naturally the Ancient Cauldron Spiritual Academy's Fei Qingsong. Looking at Xue Shi, whose aura was weak, chest caved in, and appeared to be on the verge of death, his expression instantly changed, as he fiercely glared at Mu Chen.
The Spiritual Energy of the world seemed to have condensed into a substance at this moment, as it pressed down on Mu Chen in an attempt to crush him.
Mu Chen's body appeared to have sunk into a swamp, as he was unable to move. Instantly, his expression changed greatly. This kind of power was simply not something that he could resist.
However, just as the Spiritual Energy of the world was pressing down on Mu Chen, an imposing figure appeared in front of Mu Chen. With a wave of his sleeve, the pressure that blotted the skies instantly disappeared like smoke in thin air.
Dean Tai Cang appeared in front of Mu Chen. With a calm expression on his face, he looked at Fei Qingsong, who was in front of him. His indifferent voice was akin to rolling thunder, as it resounded across the world. Instantly, even the Spiritual Energy of the world turned violent and seething.
"Dean Fei, although I, Hokuang Reiwon, treat you with respect, do you really think that I, Hokuang Reiwon, am that easy to bully?"
(This was yesterday's fifth night watch.
