As his arms slid down from Chi Yu's shoulders, a mournful shriek rang out. His body rapidly fell down, before violently smashing against the mountain peak. Once again, a mouthful of blood violently spurted out from his mouth, while his aura became dispirited.
As Luo Li floated down, chilling intent surfaced within her beautiful eyes. As the tip of her sword landed right before Chi Yu's throat, the bone-chilling Sword Aura caused the latter's face to instantly turn deathly pale, not daring to make the slightest bit of movement.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen faintly smiled. With a clench of his hand, he pulled Mao Jiang over, before throwing him to Chi Yu's side. The two Bounty Board ruthless people that were still majestic and awe-inspiring had, at this moment, become exceedingly miserable, without any trace of their previous awe and prestige.
"The two of you seem to have exceeded your expectations," said Mu Chen with a faint smile as he looked at the deathly pale and dust-covered duo in ridicule.
With both of Chi Yu's arms chopped off, he stared venomously at Mu Chen. By his side, Mao Jiang had also clenched his teeth and said, "Don't be complacent. This time, not a single one of you will be able to escape!"
With a smile, Mu Chen said, "The two of you, tell me about your plans."
"In your dreams!" said Chi Yu with a sneer.
With a flick of his finger, a ray of Spiritual Energy shot out, violently smashing against Chi Yu's chest, sending him flying a few hundred metres back. Without caring about his life or death, Mu Chen turned his gaze towards Mao Jiang and said, "If you want to become like him, I can grant your wish."
Looking at the handsome youth before him, whose eyes were filled with indifference, a shiver went through Mao Jiang's heart. The latter's vicious methods caused even him to feel some apprehension. How was this something that a student from the ivory tower of Hokuang Reiwon could possess?
"There's no hope for all of you. Mo Longzi isn't someone you can contend against."
Clenching his teeth, Mao Jiang said, "Let us go now, and there's still time for you to leave. If not, after landing in Mo Longzi's hands, not a single one of you will be able to live!"
"What does he want to do?" asked Mu Chen with a faint frown on his forehead.
"What are you doing?
Hehe, of course it's to eat all of you. That way, Hokuang Reiwon will suffer a huge blow, and his position within the Demonic Dragon Palace will also rise as a result, "Mao Jiang said with a sneer.
"Can he eat it?
The three great generals of the Punishment Hall have been dispatched this time around. Is Mo Longzi's appetite that big? "
Said Mu Chen with a sneer. Lin Zheng and the other two were at the Heavenly Completion Stage middle stage, and were not any weaker than Shen Cangsheng. Although Mo Longzi and the rest were strong, they might not be able to eat them up so easily. Furthermore, as long as they managed to rescue Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong, their strength would immediately surpass their opponents.
"You guys are underestimating Mo Longzi too much."
Mao Jiang said mockingly, "The current him should have already found Lin Zheng. If I am not wrong, Lin Zheng has already been defeated."
"As for Gu Tianyan and Zhou Qingshan of the Three Great Generals, Mu Gu and Gui Xiong will naturally obstruct them. Mo Longzi, who has his hands free, will naturally take care of them. As for the other people, do they still have any ability?"
Mu Chen's pupils slightly contracted. That Mo Longzi was actually strong to such an extent?
He was even able to deal with Lin Zheng?
"Don't even think about returning. Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong's strength will rise greatly. The two of them have been poisoned by Mo Longzi's Demonic Dragon Poison, and can't even protect themselves now. Even if they're rescued, it would be of little use."
Mao Jiang continued to attack Mu Chen, while his face was filled with a ridiculing smile. These fellows still wanted to fight with Mo Longzi?
Weren't they just courting death?
A cold glint flashed within Mu Chen's eyes. No wonder he was the super ruthless person ranked second on the Bounty Board. He was actually this formidable.
"What do we do now?"
Luo Li approached Mu Chen and asked in a soft voice. The current situation was indeed not good for them. Their opponents had split them up in an attempt to defeat them one by one. At that time, once Lin Zheng and the other two were dealt with, it would be extremely hard for them to contend against their opponents.
Mu Chen's eyes sparkled. After an instant, he looked towards Mao Jiang and said, "You should know where Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong are, right?"
"You still want to save them?
They've been poisoned, and it's useless even if you save them! "Mao Jiang sneered.
"You don't need to care about that. Just lead the way."
Mu Chen faintly smiled. Since their opponents wanted to defeat them one by one, he could also use this opportunity to find Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong. At that time, he could think of a way to deal with the poison in their bodies. If he could get rid of it, their strength would explosively rise. At that time, he could take a roundabout route and kill them, and might be able to turn the situation around.
Of course, the precondition was that he had to make the best use of his time, and rescue Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong before all of them were captured, and allow them to recover their combat prowess.
"I will find Chi Yu and ask him for a clear route. If I discover that the route you're leading is wrong, don't blame me for cutting you into pieces and throwing you here." Mu Chen gave Mao Jiang a faint smile. However, that smile appeared exceptionally cold and indifferent.
Mao Jiang looked at that smile, and his body trembled, while his skin turned cold. He did not doubt Mu Chen's ruthlessness in the slightest. This youth's methods were even more ruthless than theirs.
"Spare my life, and I'll lead the way for you." Mao Jiang was also a decisive person. At this time, he clearly did not have much of a choice, and could only clench his teeth and say.
"That will depend on your performance."
Mu Chen declined to comment, before shooting out and picking up Chi Yu. From afar, it seemed that they had conversed for quite a while. Finally, he carried the unconscious Chi Yu and walked back.
"Let's go."
Mu Chen looked towards Luo Li, while the latter nodded his head.
Mu Chen picked up the heavily injured Mao Jiang, before the two of them rapidly rushed into the thick spiritual mist. Following the direction pointed out by Mao Jiang, they swiftly shot towards it.
However, just as Mu Chen and Mao Jiang were rushing towards the depths of the mist, at another location within the depths of the Western Desolate Territory, a figure seated on a giant boulder akin to a small mountain faintly frowned.
Raising his head, he looked towards the direction where Mu Chen and Mao Jiang were at, before muttering, "That direction should be where Chi Yu and Mao Jiang are headed, right?
From the looks of it, they've actually been captured by someone. As of now, they're heading towards the depths of the mist. Are they trying to rescue Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong? "
This person's appearance was ordinary, however, his eyes were exceedingly gloomy and cold, akin to a venomous snake. He was precisely the only Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master within the top 10 of the Bounty Board, Wu Jia.
A faint glint flashed within his eyes, before looking towards his front. In that region, a gigantic Spiritual Array was currently revolving, with four figures unexpectedly being trapped within it.
Upon closer inspection, they were, astonishingly, He Yao, Su Xuan and Xu Huang. The three of them were not too far away from each other, thus they had bumped into each other midway, before seeing Wu Jia, who had come to deal with them.
However, faced against a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master who was already prepared for this, even with the three of them joining hands, they were still unable to obtain the slightest bit of upper hand. On the contrary, they had been trapped by the opponent's Spiritual Array, and were simply unable to break out.
However, it was fortunate that by relying on their combined strength, they were able to barely protect themselves.
Staring at the three people within the Spiritual Array, a faint frown appeared on Wu Jia's face, before suddenly standing up. Compared to Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong, the three students weren't much. Both parties had been tied down, and he could not allow the other party to approach Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong.
"I'll let you guys off for now."
Staring at He Yao and the other two, a sneer rang out from Wu Jia. In the next instant, with a move of his body, he disappeared within the spiritual mist.
Having lost Wu Jia's control, the Spiritual Array that had trapped He Yao and the other two started to slow down. This caused He Yao and the other two to breathe a sigh of relief, before hurriedly breaking the array with all their might.
Whoosh!
Within the dense spiritual mist, Mu Chen and Su Xuan shot out. Spiritual Energies swept out, causing the spiritual mist to be unable to approach them.
They were already rushing towards their destination at full speed, because they knew that they had to make the best use of their time. If they were to truly allow Mo Longzi to deal with Lin Zheng and the other two, they might really lose.
As for Mao General, who was being held in Mu Chen's hand, he continued to point towards the path ahead, while a quiet glint flashed within the depths of his eyes.
Whoosh!
The two figures shot out once again. However, just as they were about to rush into a stretch of spiritual mist, Mu Chen's eyes furiously narrowed. Grabbing onto Luo Li's white wrist, he explosively retreated.
Bang!
As the spiritual mist before them was torn apart, numerous gigantic rays of Spiritual Energy swept out. Akin to enraged dragons, they explosively rumbled towards Mu Chen and Mu Chen.
A faint chill appeared within Luo Li's beautiful eyes as her jade-like hands tightly clenched onto her longsword. Boundless Sword Qi explosively shot out, tearing the rays of Spiritual Energy apart.
"I never imagined that Chi Yu and Mao General would actually fall in the hands of two students." A flabbergasted voice rang out from within the spiritual mist. As the spiritual mist fluctuated, a figure surfaced, which was precisely Wu Jia.
Behind Wu Jia, a gigantic Spiritual Array was slowly revolving, ready to unleash an attack at any moment.
"Wu Jia, ranked fifth on the Bounty Board?" Looking at the person, a faint frown appeared on Mu Chen's face as he spoke out.
"Please stop here for the time being. Don't advance any further. I'll obstruct you two," said Wu Jia with a faint smile towards the two of them.
Mu Chen's gaze turned ice-cold as he looked towards Wu Jia, killing intent gushing out from within his eyes.
However, just as he was about to take action, Luo Li gently and gracefully stepped forward. Sending a faint smile towards Mu Chen, she said, "I'll obstruct him. You go and save them first."
Seeing this, Mu Chen instantly gawked, while feeling slightly hesitant.
"Can you give me some confidence?"
Said Luo Li in an annoyed voice. Mu Chen always wanted to protect her behind him. However, wasn't he looking down on her, the next Empress of the Luo God Clan, too much?
With a helpless smile, Mu Chen gently nodded his head and said, "Be careful, then."
He wasn't particularly worried, as even he wasn't able to see through the trump cards Luo Li possessed. However, she rarely took action against others. Therefore, Mu Chen didn't believe that Luo Tianshen would allow Luo Li, who didn't have any trump cards, to leave the Luo God Clan and come to Hokuang Reiwon.
As his voice rang out, he didn't delay any further. With a move, he explosively shot out.
"Where are you going?"
Seeing this, Wu Jia's gaze instantly turned cold. Activating the Spiritual Array behind him, a torrent of energy surged out, sweeping towards Mu Chen.
Whoosh!
A torrent of Sword Qi swept out, blocking the incoming Spiritual Energy torrent. In the next instant, Sword Qi filled the air, rumbling back towards Wu Jia, entangling him.
Taking advantage of this, Mu Chen's figure rushed into the spiritual mist, disappearing in the blink of an eye. As of now, he had to rescue Shen Cangsheng and Luo Tianshen before Mo Longzi dealt with Lin Zheng and Luo Tianshen.
If not, their situation would become exceedingly unfavourable.
