When the spatial ripples surged over, Mu Chen was the first to react. The Spiritual Energy within his body erupted and immediately protected himself and Luo Li, who was in his embrace. However, the attack that he had expected did not arrive. The spatial ripples only lasted for a few breaths of time before dissipating.
Embracing the slender waist of the young girl in his embrace, Mu Chen landed on a mountain peak. Their surroundings were still filled with dense spiritual mist, and there were no other disturbances.
Clearly, they were still in the depths of the Western Desolate Territory. The spatial fluctuations from before had only separated them.
"Looks like we've long been discovered." Luo Li said as she scanned her surroundings with her clear and limpid eyes.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen's eyes were filled with vigilance. The unforeseen event before him had caused him to feel slightly uneasy, and he did not know exactly how the others were faring.
"The spatial fluctuations from before were too weak, so they shouldn't be able to separate us too far apart. However, it should be enough for them to take us down one by one." Luo Li said in a soft voice.
"Let's try our best to regroup with them." Knitting his brows, Mu Chen said after pondering for a while.
The mission this time was extremely dangerous. Furthermore, they were currently in the open, while the other party was in the dark. Furthermore, they had been separated by the other party, which was an extremely bad situation for them.
Faintly nodding her head, Luo Li thought to herself. Fortunately, Mu Chen had reacted quickly this time, and the two of them had not been separated. If not, she would really be burning with anxiety.
Walking forward, Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy blazing with black flames rose from the surface of his body. Walking in front of Luo Li, he vigilantly swept his gaze across the dense spiritual mist in his surroundings.
Whoosh!
However, just as he took a step forward, his eyes furiously narrowed, and he abruptly took a few steps back. A violent streak of light tore through the dense spiritual mist, and shot towards the spot he had previously stood at at lightning speed. In an instant, the ground collapsed, and fissures extended out.
Mu Chen looked to his front.
A black spear had deeply pierced through the ground, leaving only a small half of it on the ground. Humming and trembling intensely, the power contained within this spear was rather astonishing.
Chi chi!
While Mu Chen was dodging the sudden black spear attack, the thick fog on the other side was also torn apart as scarlet rays of light shot over from all directions.
Luo Li stepped out, her jade-like hand gripping her longsword tightly, and her sword qi swept out.
With a series of clanging sounds, it blocked all of the scarlet rainbows.
"Pa pa!"
The sound of clapping rang out from within the thick fog.
Mu Chen stared coldly in that direction. As the thick fog receded, two silhouettes appeared in his line of sight.
It was a towering boulder, and on top of the boulder.
There were two figures, one sitting and one standing. The one sitting wore a scarlet robe and had a hideous scar on his face. There were over a dozen scarlet glows floating on his palm.
They were fiery red daggers that were swimming around his palm like fishes.
As for the one standing there, it was a skinny man.
However, even though his body was small, he was carrying eight large black spears on his back. He was even taller than a human, giving off a rather strange visual impact.
At this moment, the two of them.
Both had a playful smile on their faces as they stared at Mu Chen and Luo Li.
"Aiyaya, our luck is really good.
To think that we were able to meet such a top grade girl. "The scarlet-robed man's gaze swept across the two, before finally focusing on Luo Li. His eyes immediately lit up as he spoke with a beaming smile.
"These two people look unfamiliar. Could they be freshmen?
Haha, Hokuang Reiwon seems to be in a hurry this time. He actually sent out such a team. "The skinny man licked his lips as he spoke.
"Yeah, he even dared to send out Heavenly Transform Stage students. Hokuang Reiwon is really getting worse."
The scarlet-robed man also looked at Mu Chen with a strange expression. Heavenly Transform Stage late stage, and he dared to come and rescue others with this kind of strength?
He was truly courting death.
The scarlet-robed man lightly flicked his finger, and the dozen scarlet glows rotated at an increasingly faster speed. With a grin, he stared at Mu Chen and said, "Brat, I'll give you a chance. Hurry up and run. Hand this girl over to us. Who knows, you might have a chance to live."
Mu Chen stared at the scarlet-robed man and Luo Li. His voice did not have any fluctuations of emotion. "You two must be the 7th and 8th on the Bounty Board, Chi Yu and Mao Jiang, right?"
"Looks like you've read quite a bit of information about us."
The scarlet-robed man called Chi Yu extended his hand and grasped a dagger. Extending his scarlet-red tongue, he licked it, while baleful aura filled his eyes.
"Alright, brat. Don't speak any more nonsense. Hurry up and scram. In all these years, this is the first time I've seen such a top grade girl."
Clang!
A clear sword cry abruptly resounded as an incomparably sharp Sword Qi swept out. With an indescribable speed, it split the earth apart, before chopping down towards Chi Yu's face.
Clang!
A black spear fiercely pierced out from the side, heavily hitting the Sword Qi. Spiritual Energy erupted, causing the earth to split apart, while the black spear was forced back.
Chi.
Numerous sharp Sword Qi flashed across Chi Yu's face, causing a few bloody scars to appear.
Chi Yu's face changed as he explosively retreated. In the next instant, his expression turned incomparably dark as he looked at the young girl standing beside Mu Chen, who was holding onto a black longsword, while staring at him with a gaze that seemed to be looking at a maggot.
"Truly interesting."
Chi Yu clenched his teeth. Wiping away the bloodstains on his face, a sinister glint erupted from his eyes.
"Leave him to me?"
Slightly tilting her head, Luo Li sought Mu Chen's opinion. Towards this disgusting fellow with a dirty gaze, she really wanted to chop him up with her sword.
"Chop off his hands, but spare his life." Mu Chen gently nodded his head, while thick killing intent seeped out from his words.
Luo Li smiled sweetly, her smile turning slightly sweet as she replied, "Alright."
"Attack! Kill them!"
Chi Yu's gaze turned dark. Of the two, other than the young girl in black, who was at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase and was hard to deal with, that Mu Chen seemed to be a burden.
Even so, he dared to put on an act in front of them!
Mao Jiang parted his mouth and gave a sinister smile. Grabbing a black spear with a flip of his hand, he gave a jerk of his arm, causing resplendent black light to erupt from the black spear. Akin to a black dragon, it tore through the air, causing gigantic fissures to appear on the ground as it shot explosively towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen took a step forward. He did not retreat at all. Clenching his five fingers tightly, black lightning wrapped around his body. In the next instant, a fist violently rumbled out.
Bang!
Black lightning gushed out.
Mu Chen's fist forcefully smashed against the black spear that was shooting explosively towards him.
"Scram!"
Mu Chen's gaze turned frosty as lightning erupted from him. In the next instant, the black spear was smashed apart by Mu Chen's fist.
"What?!"
The faces of Chi Yu and Mao Jiang seemingly changed drastically at the same time, as shock flashed within their eyes. Even Chi Yu, who was also at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase, did not dare to use his bare fist to take the power of Mao Jiang's spear head on. However, at this moment, this brat, who appeared to be at the Heavenly Transformation Stage Late Phase, was actually able to achieve it?
"Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase.
You still dare to jump around here? You don't know the difference between life and death. "
On Mu Chen's handsome face, chilling killing intent erupted.
Towards these two fellows that had spoken so rudely, he would absolutely not let them off today.
Whoosh!
As his voice rang out, dragon shadows rose around his body, while his figure shot out like lightning.
Rushing straight towards Mao Jiang.
"Shameless boasting!"
Mao Jiang's eyes were dark and chilling as he shot out explosively. Clenching his hands, two black spears appeared within them. Spiritual Energy swept out, causing the spears to vibrate.
Transforming into spear shadows that hid the skies and covered the earth, they enveloped Mu Chen.
However, facing his attack.
Mu Chen still did not evade. Black lightning sparkled on his body, allowing the spear shadows to violently land on his body.
Clang!
Clang! Metallic sounds rang out as sparks flew.
Those spear shadows were unexpectedly unable to injure Mu Chen in the slightest.
Bang!
His fist rumbled out.
Piercing through the spear shadows, Spiritual Energy gushed out. Bringing along frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations, his fist rumbled towards Mao Jiang's chest.
Mao Jiang jumped in fright from Mu Chen's ferocity. Withdrawing the two spears, he placed them horizontally before his chest.
Clang!
Mu Chen's fist violently smashed against the two spears. The two spears, forged from fine iron, were compressed into an extremely eye-piercing arc, seemingly sticking to Mao Jiang's chest.
A chilling glint flashed within Mu Chen's eyes. Black lightning gushed out from his fist, causing his strength to increase explosively.
Crack!
The two fine iron spears were completely shattered. Like lightning, Mu Chen's fist violently smashed against Mao Jiang's chest. Instantly, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from the latter as his body flew back hundreds of metres, before miserably stabilising himself.
By the time he stabilised his body, his eyes were already filled with shock and astonishment. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the youth, who appeared to be the easiest to deal with, and whose strength was merely at the Heavenly Transformation Stage Late Phase, would actually possess such terrifying strength!
Due to this scene, Chi Yu's expression had also turned grave. Looking at the youth with black lightning curling around his body, for some unknown reason, some uneasiness surged within his heart.
Whoosh!
A chilling glint flashed within his eyes. With a flick of his finger, numerous scarlet glints, bringing along extremely sharp auras, shot explosively towards the vital points on Mu Chen's back at lightning speed.
However, just as the scarlet glints had shot out, a slender and beautiful figure appeared behind Mu Chen. Sword Qi swept out, directly slicing apart those scarlet glints.
Luo Li stood in the air, her black dress wrapping around her exquisite and well-proportioned figure. Her long hair fell down, appearing as bright and resplendent as the Milky Way. However, at this moment, her clear glass-like pupils were suffused with an indifferent glint.
"Leave your arms behind. If not, I'll be scolded." said the young girl in a soft voice as she quietly stared at Chi Yu.
Clenching his teeth, Chi Yu sneered, "With just you?!"
Clenching her longsword tightly, Luo Li slowly raised her jade-like hand, pointing it towards Chi Yu in the distance. In the next instant, an extremely astonishing Sword Qi rushed towards the sky. In the next instant, the spiritual mist within a radius of a thousand metres was completely shattered by the Sword Qi.
"With just me."
An indifferent smile seemed to surface on her exquisite face, while faint killing intent leaked out from within her beauty. With a tremble of her jade-like hand, boundless Sword Qi condensed into a river of Sword Qi in the air above her head.
Extremely frightening fluctuations radiated out from within the river of Sword Qi, causing Chi Yu's expression to slowly turn dark and gloomy.
Who would have imagined that the youth and young girl in front of him, who seemed to be the easiest to deal with, would actually be so difficult and thorny to deal with.
This time, he had truly kicked an iron plate.
