The Great Ruler - Chapter374

The atmosphere of the entire Western Desolated City seemed to freeze at this instant.

Gazes filled with dense shock and astonishment stared at the spectacle happening in the sky. In the next instant, the corners of their mouths uncontrollably curled upwards. Such an outcome was clearly outside of their expectations.

In the sky, Mu Chen stood in the air. The clothes on his body were in tatters, with some traces of blood present on them. Black lightning was still leaping about on his body. At this moment, his expression appeared exceedingly cold, while his gaze was akin to a blade as he stared at the flushed Wu Jia before him.

His palm was akin to an iron pincer as it locked onto the latter's throat. Spiritual Force gushed out from his palm, and with just a slight push, he would be able to break Wu Jia's throat.

Wu Jia's face was ashen, with traces of disbelief still present within his eyes. From the looks of it, he had yet to recover from the fact that Mu Chen had brutally broken his array, and had completely defeated him.

Wu Jia's strength had similarly reached the Heavenly Completion Stage initial phase. However, he never imagined that he would actually lose so quickly after his Spiritual Array was broken by Mu Chen.

The combat prowess displayed by Mu Chen had clearly far surpassed the strength he had displayed on the surface.

The silence within the city was quickly shattered by an uproar. In fact, the uproar was even more intense than when Shen Cangsheng had been defeated. That was because this spectacle was just too unexpected.

Who would have thought that Wu Jia, a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master, would actually lose to Mu Chen, whose strength was merely at the Heavenly Transformation Stage late phase?

"Interesting."

The green-robed male gave a faint smile as he shot a peculiar look at Mu Chen. From the looks of it, this youth seems to have some hidden cards up his sleeves. It's no wonder why he dared to take action in such a situation.

"However, even after defeating Wu Jia, they still have no chance of victory," muttered the green-robed male.

Now that Shen Cangsheng had been defeated, Mo Longzi would be able to free his hands to deal with the super ruthless person that even Shen Cangsheng was unable to stop. On Hokuang Reiwon's side.

There seemed to be no one that could contend against him.

At this moment, Hokuang Reiwon had already fallen into a disadvantageous position. Even if Mu Chen won, it would still be difficult for him to change the situation. After all, Mo Longzi wasn't someone that Wu Jia could compare to.

Su Xuan, He Yao and the rest were pleasantly surprised by Mu Chen's victory. However, their expressions quickly turned grave, as they understood the difficulty of the current situation.

If Shen Cangsheng still had the strength to continue fighting, and joined hands with Mu Chen, they would be able to contend against Mo Longzi. But now, Shen Cangsheng was already heavily injured … As for Li Xuantong and Luo Li …

Although they had gained the upper hand, the other two were also desperately pestering them, causing them to be unable to extricate themselves for a time.

During this period of time, Mo Longzi would probably be able to defeat Mu Chen.

Across the horizon, Mu Chen shot a cold and detached look at the subdued Wu Jia, before turning his head to look towards another direction.

Upon seeing the blood-covered and dispirited Shen Cangsheng, his heart sunk. As expected, Shen Cangsheng wasn't Mo Longzi's match.

"Haha.

What a surprise. "

Mo Longzi's slightly astonished gaze paused on Mu Chen's body, before saying with a faint smile, "However, it's still a little too late."

Whoosh.

In the distance, Su Xuan, He Yao and the rest shot over, landing by Shen Cangsheng's side.

Shielding him behind them, they vigilantly stared at Mo Longzi.

Mu Chen shot a look at the battlefield between Luo Li and Li Xuantong.

At this moment, the two of them had also sensed the situation over here, causing their attacks to abruptly turn ferocious in an attempt to quickly end the fight and assist Mu Chen.

However, Mu Gu and Gui Xiong weren't easy to deal with, after all. At this moment, they had also turned vicious and ruthless, sending lethal attacks sweeping out as they did their utmost to drag down the two of them.

A faint glint flashed across Mu Chen's eyes. In the next instant, he gave a heavy slap to Wu Jia's chest, causing a mouthful of blood to spurt out from the latter's mouth. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations around his body started to wilt, clearly showing that he had suffered heavy injuries.

After crippling Wu Jia's combat prowess, Mu Chen threw him towards Su Xuan and the rest. Raising his head, he coldly stared at Mo Longzi, while boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations rippled out from his body once again.

"You're not my match." Facing Mu Chen's gaze, Mo Longzi gave a faint smile as he spoke out.

Expressionless, Mu Chen did not reply. Nevertheless, his gaze remained as chilly as ever.

"What a hateful fellow," muttered Mo Longzi.

Malevolent killing intent gushed out from the depths of his eyes. This time, the youth before him had always caused unforeseen events to occur in his plans, causing him to feel extremely disgusted.

"Right now, I really want to kill you …"

Baleful aura that blotted the skies, accompanied by boundless and tyrannical Spiritual Energy, hid the skies and covered the earth as they swept out from Mo Longzi's body. In the next instant, with a move of his body, he explosively shot out.

"Mu Chen, careful!" Su Xuan and the rest hastily cried out in alarm. Indeed, this Mo Longzi was vicious and ruthless, as he had immediately taken action.

Whoosh!

Mo Longzi's speed was exceedingly quick. In a flash, he had appeared right before Mu Chen. Just as he was about to send a ferocious slap out, dragon shadows unexpectedly surfaced around Mu Chen's body. With a flash of brilliance, he explosively retreated out of Mo Longzi's attack range.

"That's … the Dragon Soaring Technique?"

Looking at the dragon shadows that had flashed past Mu Chen's body, shock appeared on Mo Longzi's face. In the next instant, a dark shadow flashed within his eyes as he said, "Looks like you've obtained quite a bit of benefits from the White Dragon Sovereign's Spirit Treasury. You've actually learnt his Dragon Soaring Technique."

The White Dragon Sovereign was once one of the highest echelons of the Demonic Dragon Palace. Therefore, Mo Longzi had some knowledge of his ultimate art. The Dragon Soaring Technique was a rather formidable movement Deity Tier Spiritual Art. Upon mastering it to the advanced stage, one would be able to transform into a divine dragon, shuttling through space. Even Sovereign realm experts would find it hard to obstruct them. Back then, the White Dragon Sovereign had betrayed the Demonic Dragon Palace. Despite the Demonic Dragon Palace's all-out effort, he was still able to escape in the end. What he had relied on was the Dragon Soaring Technique.

Although the Dragon Soaring Technique that Mu Chen had learnt was still at the most basic "Dragon Shadow" level, its speed was already exceedingly quick, and was rather troublesome to deal with.

A dragon shadow surfaced around Mu Chen's body, causing his body to appear akin to a wisp of green smoke. Staring at Mo Longzi, vigilance filled his heart. At this moment, he needed to do his utmost to delay for as much time as possible.

Once he was able to delay for Luo Li or Li Xuantong to end their fight, it would be much easier for him.

However, Mo Longzi had clearly seen through his intentions. With a sneer, he said, "Although the Dragon Soaring Technique is formidable, you're only at the initial stage. Do you really think that I can't do anything to you?"

Taking a step forward, surging Spiritual Energy appeared to cover the horizon, causing the entire region to instantly turn dark.

"Demonic Dragon Barrier!"

Greyish-black Spiritual Energy.

Hiding the skies and covering the earth, it enveloped over, transforming into a gigantic barrier of light. Enveloping a radius of several thousand metres, it enveloped Mu Chen, who was unable to evade in time, within it.

Roar!

Roar!

As the barrier of light enveloped him, malevolent dragon roars seemed to ring out. Those dragon roars contained a peculiar demonic power, causing Mu Chen's body to feel slightly heavier.

With a chilling gaze, Mo Longzi extended his palm, before furiously patting down.

A sinister and cold roar resounded across the heavens and earth, "Demonic Dragon Hand!"

Bang!

Boundless Spiritual Energy converged across the horizon, transforming into a giant hand a hundred metres in size. Black dragon scales covered the surface of the giant hand.

Sparkling with a chilling lustre, it appeared to be able to tear mountains apart.

The giant hand fiercely patted down towards Mu Chen, causing ear-piercing sonic booms to ring out.

Looking at the shadow enveloping over him, Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy gushed out, transforming into a stretch of starry sky behind him. Within the starry sky.

Three gigantic creatures condensed into form, bringing along boundless starlight as they swept out.

Four Gods Constellation Scripture, Divine Seal of the White Tiger!

Divine Seal of the Black Tortoise!

Divine Seal of the Vermillion Bird!

Beastly roars resounded across the horizon.

As the three gigantic beasts howled out, they brazenly collided against the giant greyish-black hand!

Bang!

An astonishing sound rang out as incomparably erratic Spiritual Energy waves swept out.

Even Mu Chen was sent flying back a thousand metres, with the blood and aura within his body faintly churning.

A solemn expression filled his face. Only after exchanging blows with Mo Longzi did he know how tyrannical he was. No wonder why even Shen Cangsheng was unable to block him.

Raising his head, Mu Chen looked towards the Spiritual Energy waves sweeping out in the distance. Over there, Mo Longzi stood atop the Spiritual Energy waves, with one hand placed behind his back. His expression was one of indifference. The previous collision had no effect on him at all.

"To be able to block my attack at the Heavenly Transformation Stage Late Phase, you truly do have some ability." Shooting a look at Mu Chen, whose chest was heaving up and down, Mo Longzi spoke out in an indifferent tone.

Although Mu Chen's expression did not change, the palms hidden within his sleeves faintly trembled, causing the surrounding space to fluctuate for a moment.

"After all, the White Dragon Sovereign was once a member of our Demonic Dragon Palace. Now that you've cultivated the Dragon Soaring Technique, you can be considered to have some relationship with our Demonic Dragon Palace. If you're able to kill Shen Cangsheng and the rest, I might be able to let you join the Demonic Dragon Palace. Your future prospects would be much better than Hokuang Reiwon."

All of a sudden, a smile appeared on Mo Longzi's face. If he was able to pull Mu Chen into the Demonic Dragon Palace, Hokuang Reiwon's face would be completely thrown away. This was an extremely good method to deal a blow to the other party.

"A force that was chased around like a stray dog by Hokuang Reiwon dares to say such words?" said Mu Chen with a ridiculing smile.

"Since you refuse a toast, you can join them in hanging in the Western Desolated City today!"

A chilling glint flashed within Mo Longzi's eyes. With a clench of his hands, surging Spiritual Energy condensed over, transforming into two gigantic demonic dragons around his body. Roaring, the demonic dragons swept straight towards Mu Chen.

A dragon shadow surfaced on Mu Chen's body as he explosively retreated. His black pupils turned crystal clear once again, while his hands abruptly came together to form a seal.

"Bang!"

At the instant when Mu Chen's hands came together to form a seal, the entire sky started to tremble. In the next instant, countless people noticed rays of brilliance blossoming as boundless Spiritual Energy blotted out the skies and covered the earth as it converged over.

In a short span of a few breaths, a gigantic Spiritual Array had already appeared. Within the Spiritual Array, two incomparably gigantic black lotuses slowly revolved, radiating frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations that caused people's expressions to change.

"Butchering Demonic Lotus Spiritual Array!"

A low roar rang out from within Mu Chen's heart. In the next instant, his gaze turned ice-cold as he sent a palm patting out. Under the countless shocked gazes below, the gigantic Spiritual Array started to revolve.

At this moment, a smear of astonishment flashed across the face of the green-robed male within the large hall. A Spiritual Array of this level had already reached the category of a Rank 5 Spiritual Array. Could it be that the youth before him was actually a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master?

A Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master at such an age...

Faintly narrowing his eyes, the green-robed male thought, This youth seems to be slightly not simple. However, exactly how far can he endure when facing against Mo Longzi...

(Rushed out of the competition grounds for this update. I woke up at 7 am today, and I'm about to die from exhaustion.
