Bang!
Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out as three figures appeared on the mountain peak. Astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations rippled out, condensing into a gigantic pressure. Akin to black clouds covering the sky, it pressed down towards Mu Gu and the rest in the distance.
"It's Mu Chen, Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong!"
Looking at the three figures that had appeared, pleasant surprise instantly erupted from Su Xuan and the rest. Originally, they had assumed that Mu Chen had come alone. They never imagined that he would actually find Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong.
"Shen Cangsheng?
Li Xuantong?
They've recovered their strength?! "
On the opposite side, upon seeing the astonishing aura radiating from Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong, whose strength seemed to have improved by a bit compared to before they were injured, the faces of Mu Gu, Gui Xiong and the rest could not help changing.
Weren't those two fellows poisoned by the Demonic Dragon Poison?
How could they recover their strength?
That poison could only be dispelled by a Sovereign expert! Could it be that a Sovereign expert was helping them from the shadows?
Their faces fluctuated indeterminately as they raised their vigilance. If their opponent truly had a Sovereign expert, they would simply be unable to run away.
"Although the Demonic Dragon Poison can only be dispelled by a Sovereign expert, it can similarly be dispelled with some special methods. If a Sovereign expert from Hokuang Reiwon dares to take action, the Sovereign experts of our Demonic Dragon Palace will naturally sense it." Mo Longzi spoke out in an indifferent tone, calming the shock within the hearts of everyone.
At this moment, his indifferent eyes looked towards Shen Cangsheng and the other two, while a chilling shadow filled his eyes. "However, the fact that you guys are able to dispel the Demonic Dragon Poison has truly exceeded my expectations."
Similarly, Shen Cangsheng's chilling gaze locked onto Mo Longzi as he sneered, "I'm afraid that there will be many that will exceed your expectations."
His eyes were cold. He took a step forward, and his spiritual power suddenly surged. That degree.
Compared to an ordinary Heavenly Completion Stage Middle Phase, he was already infinitely close to a Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase.
He was about to break through!
Sensing the Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from him, the faces of Mu Gu and the rest slightly changed. As expected of Shen Cangsheng. After suffering such a heavy blow this time, not only did he not become dispirited, he had instead made progress. If he was able to get through this, he might be able to truly break through to Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase.
Staring at Shen Cangsheng, Mo Longzi's eyes narrowed.
Shen Cangsheng was indeed very powerful. He was able to advance to the Reaching Heaven Late Stage at such a time.
This was entirely due to the cultivation method of the Demonic Dragon Palace. Coupled with the large amount of resources he had obtained, this was actually a form of overdraft. Cultivating like this would cause his lifespan to decrease.
Therefore, even though he had paid a huge price, Shen Cangsheng was still able to catch up to him time and time again. This caused him to feel somewhat furious in his heart.
"Although I'm about to make a breakthrough, I still haven't reached the late stage of the Reaching Heaven State.
You dare to fight with me?! "Mo Longzi said coldly.
"Whether we can win or not, we will only know after we fight!"
Shen Cangsheng was happy and unafraid, and had a disdainful expression on his face.
He was the overlord of Hokuang Reiwon's Heavenly Rankings, and represented Hokuang Reiwon's face. Therefore, no matter what kind of opponent he faced, he would absolutely not shrink back!
He knew that the Mo Longzi in front of him was a strong opponent. However, this wasn't a reason for him to fear him.
A dark and cold glint flashed within Mo Longzi's eyes.
With a wave of his sleeve, the heavily injured and unconscious Lin Zheng and the other two were carried up from the mountain peak.
They floated in the air.
Upon seeing this, the faces of Mu Chen and Shen Cangsheng sunk. Lin Zheng and the other two had indeed fallen into the hands of the other party?
"Haha. Although the two of you have been saved, they have fallen into my hands." Mo Longzi gave a playful smile as he said, "Is this kind of exchange worth it?"
"Two of you are in my hands."
Mu Chen sneered. With a curl of his palm, a suction force erupted. Two figures shot over from a short distance away. They were Chi Yu and Mao Jiang.
Mo Longzi shot an indifferent glance at the two of them, before saying with a faint smile, "They're just two pieces of trash. What's there to pay attention to? Deal with them however you want."
His words appeared to be exceedingly emotionless, as if he didn't care about his two former companions in the slightest. Perhaps, he had never treated Chi Yu and the other two as his companions.
"Haha. As expected of Mo Longzi. Looks like they're just tools that you're using, just like those people behind you, right?" Mu Chen also said with a faint smile.
Mu Gu, Gui Xiong and the rest faintly wrinkled their brows. They had also sensed the provocation from Mu Chen's words. However, it was unavoidable for them to feel slightly uncomfortable in their hearts.
"What a sharp-tongued brat!"
Mo Longzi's gaze turned slightly cold as he looked at Mu Chen, before saying with a cold and sinister voice, "You're the fellow that killed Bai Xuan back then, and was almost killed by me, right?
I never imagined that you'd actually reach this step in less than a year's time. If I had known that this would happen, I would've killed you back then. "
He had also guessed that the Demonic Dragon Poison within the bodies of Shen Cangsheng and the rest was most likely removed by Mu Chen. If not, if Shen Cangsheng and the rest had a method, they wouldn't have dragged on for so long.
"It's a pity that there won't be a second chance," said Mu Chen with a smile.
"A Heavenly Transformation Stage Late Phase has the qualifications to say such words in front of me? Why do I need a second chance? With your strength, I can kill you if I want to!"
Mo Longzi's eyes turned sinisterly cold as he took a step forward. Afterimages appeared, before appearing right before Mu Chen. Sending a palm patting out, greyish-black Spiritual Energy swept out. Transforming into a roaring demonic dragon, it rumbled towards Mu Chen.
Humm!
However, just as the roaring demonic dragon scuttled out, a long spear sparkling with golden light swept out, bringing along a golden streak of light. Tearing through the air, it pierced through the demonic dragon.
"I really want to see how you'll kill someone in front of me!"
Spiritual Energy erupted from within Shen Cangsheng's body without the slightest bit of restraint. His gaze was ice-cold as the long spear shook. Bringing about torrential spear images, the golden long spear hid the skies and covered the earth as it enveloped the vital points on Mo Longzi's body.
Ding Ding Ding!
Mo Longzi flicked his ten fingers in succession, greyish-black rays of light explosively shot out, completely shattering the spear images that were sweeping towards him. At the same time, his figure fluttered back in retreat.
"Mo Longzi, single-handedly, do you dare to fight!"
Fighting intent erupted from within Shen Cangsheng's eyes as his figure explosively rushed out. In the beginning, the latter had concealed his strength to kill Mo Longzi, causing him to gradually lower his guard. In the end, Mo Longzi had used encirclement to injure him and Li Xuantong. The two of them had never had a true one-on-one fight, causing Shen Cangsheng to feel extremely unresigned. He longed for a true battle.
His speed was extremely quick, and in a flash, he had caught up to Mo Longzi. Golden light erupted from his eyes as he grasped the golden spear in his hand. Bright and resplendent golden rays of brilliance erupted from the body of the spear.
Humm!
As the golden long spear vibrated, earth-shattering hums seemed to erupt from it. Fighting intent gushed out from it as the Spiritual Energy in the air transformed into a golden lotus in front of the golden long spear. On the surface of the golden lotus, extremely swift and fierce spear glints swept out.
"Golden Lotus of the War God!"
Fighting intent erupted from within Shen Cangsheng's eyes as he sent his spear stabbing out in a straight line. The golden lotus crazily revolved at the tip of the spear, sparkling with golden light. Akin to a golden scorching sun, it shot through the dense spiritual mist.
This spear thrust from Shen Cangsheng was akin to an antelope hanging its horn, and was naturally formed by the heavens. Its might caused even space to distort, showing how exceedingly powerful it was.
Upon seeing this, the faces of Mu Gu and the rest in the distance slightly changed. If they were in Mo Longzi's place, they might not even be able to receive that spear. This Shen Cangsheng was truly worthy of being the most outstanding student in this batch of students from Hokuang Reiwon.
"Hmph."
Looking at the golden light gushing over, a chilling glint surfaced within Mo Longzi's eyes. With a cold snort, his palms came together, before abruptly separating. At the centre of his palms, black dragon runes seemed to surface.
"Demonic Dragon Heaven Shattering Palm!"
Sending a palm patting out, surging Spiritual Energy gushed out as a gigantic demonic dragon a hundred metres long roared out. Bringing along a dragon roar that shook the heavens, it smashed head-on against the golden lotus, which contained astonishing might.
Bang!
As the two powerful attacks collided, everyone could hear a loud bang resounding out. Boundless rays of light swept out, with golden light and black light each occupying half of the horizon.
Boom!
As the Spiritual Energy storm wreaked havoc and swept out, the two figures retreated upon contact in the air, before shooting back.
The golden spear in Shen Cangsheng's hand heavily stomped down, stabilising his body. Solemnly looking towards the distance, Mo Longzi floated down, standing with his hands behind his back.
Even though his spear was so tyrannical, it was still unable to do anything to Mo Longzi. The latter's strength, being at the Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase, was indeed very strong.
"Prepare to take action."
Said Shen Cangsheng in a deep voice. As of now, although they had lost Lin Zheng and the other two, their lineup wasn't any weaker than their opponents. As long as he was able to tie down Mo Longzi, with the strength of Mu Chen, Li Xuantong and Luo Li, it would be more than enough to defeat their opponents.
However, just as they were about to circulate their Spiritual Energy and take action, Mo Longzi gave a gentle laugh. With a wave of his sleeve, Lin Zheng and the other two landed before the Mu Gu yamen, before being grabbed by them.
"Shen Cangsheng, since you want to have a genuine fight with me, I'll give you a chance. However …" Mo Longzi's tone changed as he spoke out with a smile.
"Not in this kind of place. I'll wait for you guys in the Western Desolated City outside of the Western Desolated Territory. That's a good place. If you want to save people, come to the Western Desolated City!"
"Haha! In front of countless people, I'll completely slaughter all of the so-called heaven's favoured children of your Hokuang Reiwon! At that time, the name of me, Mo Longzi, will definitely resound throughout the entire Northern Heavens Continent!"
"I'll let everyone know that the students taught by your Hokuang Reiwon are inferior to my Demonic Dragon Palace!"
With a hearty laugh, Mo Longzi's figure fluttered as he retreated, with the other people rapidly following suit.
"If you want to save Lin Zheng and the other two, I'll be waiting for you guys at noon tomorrow at the Western Desolated City!"
"Where are you going!"
A cold roar rang out from Shen Cangsheng. With a move of his body, he explosively shot off in pursuit.
Seeing this, Wu Jia, who was at the very back, gave a faint smile. Forming a seal with his hands, the Spiritual Mist present between the heavens and earth instantly swept out, completely enveloping the entire basin. At this moment, their figures rapidly disappeared within the boundless Spiritual Mist.
As their figures disappeared, only Mo Longzi's dark and gloomy laughter continued to resound out.
"Shen Cangsheng, if you don't want to see the corpses of those three hanging in the Western Desolated City, prepare to keep the appointment!"
(Sorry for being late by an hour.

Thank you everyone!)
