The ball of blood floated in the sky, while strands of blood-red baleful aura radiated from it. From afar, it looked just like a lump of meat that would cause one's hair to stand on end.
This strange scene undoubtedly caused the expressions of countless people to change, as a chill rose in their hearts.
"This is …" The green-robed man in the great hall faintly frowned as he stared at the scene. After a while, he muttered to himself, "Could this be the secret technique of the Demonic Dragon Palace, the Dragon Transformation Blood Art?"
"Dragon Transformation Blood Art?" Behind the green-robed man, a figure asked in doubt.
"It's a profound secret technique of the Demonic Dragon Palace. Only a few disciples with extremely high statuses are able to learn it. This technique is strange and cruel. It's said that one has to dig out some of one's own flesh, before implanting the demonic dragon's flesh into one's body. Using fresh blood to nourish it, one can activate the demonic dragon's flesh at a critical moment, causing one's strength to soar."
The green-robed man's expression turned a little more solemn as he continued, "However, the price of this secret technique is extremely high. After using it this time, I'm afraid that Mo Longzi will not be able to recover within half a year."
"I never imagined that a brat with the strength of a mere Heavenly Transformation stage would actually be able to force Mo Longzi to such a step. This is truly unexpected." The person behind him sighed.
The green-robed man also faintly nodded his head. This new student called Mu Chen was truly breathtaking. However, it was truly unclear whether he was lucky or unlucky to be able to force Mo Longzi to such a step.
At this moment, the expressions of Su Xuan, He Yao and the rest turned ugly. Although they did not know exactly what that ball of blood was, it was clear that it was definitely not good news for them.
Beside them, Shen Cangsheng had also finished adjusting his breathing. His deathly pale face had slightly returned to normal. However, when he saw the wriggling ball of blood in the sky, his pupils abruptly shrank.
"Dragon Transformation Blood Art!" Shen Cangsheng clenched his teeth as he tightly gripped his long spear with his bloodied hands. Soon after, he exhaled deeply as his expression turned solemn. He was prepared to take action at any time. Although his current situation was not too good, he was very clear that the upcoming situation was not something that Mu Chen could handle alone.
With regards to the fact that Mu Chen had actually forced Mo Longzi to such an extent, it had clearly exceeded his expectations.
Amidst the strange atmosphere that filled the entire city, Mu Chen, who was hovering in the sky, tightly stared at the slightly squirming ball of blood, while his expression fluctuated indeterminately. He never imagined that even after displaying such a trump card, he was still unable to defeat Mo Longzi. The Divine Cauldron Refining Heaven Array was sufficient to heavily injure a Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase expert!
This fellow was too troublesome.
Dong!
As the expression on Mu Chen's face fluctuated, the ball of blood floating in the sky in the distance started to quietly tremble. The surface of the ball of blood started to wriggle, as though something was about to break out from the ball.
A chilling glint flashed within Mu Chen's eyes as he clenched his five fingers. In the next instant, a fist rumbled out. Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, before violently smashing against the ball of blood.
Bang!
A low and deep sound rang out as blood spurted out. However, the ball of blood did not move in the slightest. On the contrary, its wriggling grew increasingly hurried. In the end, cracks started to quietly extend out from it.
Mu Chen's pupils furiously contracted.
Bang!
The ball of blood crazily wriggled. With a puff, an arm covered in blood-red scales ferociously pierced out from within. The arm didn't seem to be humanoid, with sharp fingers akin to the claws of wild beasts. An indescribable aura of slaughter radiated from it, causing the expressions of countless people to faintly change.
As the arm extended out, it directly tore the ball of blood apart. As blood blossomed out, a blood-red figure slowly walked out from within.
Gazes that blotted the skies instantly converged over, before countless people sucked in a breath of cold air.
In the sky, Mo Longzi stood in the air. However, at this moment, his body appeared much taller than before, with blood-red scales covering his entire body. In fact, there was even a blood-red dragon tail that was several metres long, that was constantly swaying about. Both of his hands and palms were akin to dragon claws, radiating with a chilling lustre.
At this moment, Mo Longzi was just like a ferocious beast of slaughter. His gaze and aura were exceedingly frightening.
Roar!
Mo Longzi raised his head towards the sky and gave a long roar. His roar was sharp and ear-piercing, causing the faces of countless people to turn pale. The surrounding air started to tremble, before spreading out into the distance, appearing exceedingly spectacular.
"Tsk tsk."
As the long roar rang out, Mo Longzi's blood-red eyes locked onto Mu Chen in the distance. An exceedingly cruel smile surfaced at the corner of his mouth, while his blood-red tongue licked his lips, appearing exceedingly terrifying.
Caution filled Mu Chen's eyes as boundless Spiritual Energy rippled around his body. At this moment, he could feel an exceedingly dangerous aura radiating from Mo Longzi's body. Compared to before, the latter was even more frightening.
"You've forced me to this step. Congratulations, Mu Chen."
Mo Longzi gave a malevolent smile, while the baleful aura and killing intent within his eyes seemed to have materialized. In the next instant, he furiously took a step forward. With a wave of his blood-red dragon tail, his body disappeared.
Mu Chen's face changed as a dragon shadow surfaced on his body. Pushing his speed to the limits, he explosively retreated a thousand metres in an instant.
Whoosh!
However, just as his figure appeared a thousand metres away, the air behind him exploded apart. A somewhat blurry blood-red figure appeared behind him, while a malevolent and cruel laughter rang out along with the sound of the wind.
"Mu Chen, wasn't your speed very fast?
Why are you so weak now?! "
Bang!
As the malevolent laughter rang out, an extremely sharp whooshing sound rang out. The gales were swift and fierce to the point of wanting to tear apart Mu Chen's body.
Black lightning arcs arced around Mu Chen's body as he crossed his arms in front of his body to protect it.
Bang!
The dragon claw covered in blood-red scales ferociously smashed against Mu Chen's arms. A low and deep sound rang out as a sweet taste appeared in Mu Chen's throat, before he spurted out a mouthful of blood. His figure miserably shot out, while the intense pain in his arms felt as though they had been broken.
The current Mo Longzi's strength had reached a rather frightening level.
"Hehe. Relax. I'll break all the bones in your body, piece by piece!"
The smile on Mo Longzi's face grew increasingly malevolent. With a swing of his dragon tail, his figure reappeared behind Mu Chen. At this moment, the blood-red scales on his arms turned brighter, appearing as though they were about to drip with blood.
Bang!
A fist rumbled out, causing the air to explode apart.
Mu Chen clenched his fist, and a black pagoda appeared, expanding in front of him to protect him.
Clang!
Mo Longzi's fist violently smashed against the surface of the black pagoda, instantly causing a clear metallic sound to erupt. As sparks flew out, the black pagoda was sent flying back, while Mu Chen took the opportunity to shoot a distance back.
"What an interesting fellow. He can actually resist." Mo Longzi laughed maliciously, and his figure once again shot out like a bolt of lightning.
"Let's see how long you can last!"
Swish!
Swish!
In the sky, Mo Longzi's speed had reached an astonishing level, appearing just like a blood-red bolt of lightning shuttling back and forth. As for Mu Chen, he had completely fallen into a disadvantageous position. If not for the Black Pagoda in his hand protecting his body, he might have already suffered heavy injuries from Mo Longzi's vicious attacks.
But even so, his situation was still extremely bad. Blood flowed down his skin, and from the looks of it, he would not be able to last much longer.
Su Xuan and the others watched with trepidation. At this moment, the two sides were obviously not on the same level anymore. No matter how many tricks Mu Chen had, it was impossible for him to reverse the situation.
"I'll go help him."
Shen Cangsheng clenched his teeth. Ignoring the injuries on his body, he was about to make a move. If this situation continued, Mu Chen would be in an extremely bad situation. He could not sit and watch Mu Chen be killed by Mo Longzi.
Su Xuan and the others were instantly anxious. With Shen Cangsheng's current state, even if he went to help, he might not be able to provide much help.
Clang!
In the sky, Mo Longzi once again ruthlessly smashed his fist against the black pagoda. As the black pagoda trembled, it instantly dimmed, and finally transformed into a black light that rushed into Mu Chen's body.
Obviously, after enduring so many crazy attacks from Mo Longzi, the pagoda had also reached its limit.
"Tsk tsk, do you still have any tricks up your sleeve?"
Mo Longzi gave a weird laugh, as his eyes turned terrifyingly malevolent. "If you don't, then die!"
Taking a step forward, he immediately appeared before Mu Chen. His sharp blood-red claws pierced towards the latter's chest at lightning speed.
Mu Chen's eyes turned scarlet-red, as he prepared to crazily fight with Mo Longzi.
Clang!
However, just at this instant, an astonishing sword cry suddenly resounded across the horizon. In the next instant, countless people saw a river of Sword Qi rushing over, violently smashing against Mo Longzi's body.
Bang!
As the Sword Qi swept across Mo Longzi's body, sparks instantly erupted, while his body was sent flying back.
Hua.
Countless people went into an uproar as they looked over, only to see a young girl in a black dress standing in the sky far away with a black longsword in her hand. Her eyes were like an icy lake, suffused with chilling intent as they locked onto Mo Longzi.
Behind her, a figure covered in blood fell from the sky, his aura dispirited. Impressively, it was the third ranker on the Bounty Board, Mu Gu!
"Luo Li defeated Mu Gu!"
Upon seeing this, Su Xuan and the rest instantly cried out in surprise. Luo Li's arrival was truly too crucial!
Within the city, there were people who couldn't help exclaiming out in surprise. This batch of Freshmen from Hokuang Reiwon was too formidable. First, it was Mu Chen, who had forced Mo Longzi to use his ultimate move. Now, this young girl, who was breathtakingly beautiful, had unexpectedly dealt with Mu Gu, whose strength had reached Heavenly Completion Stage Middle Phase, in such a swift and fierce manner.
Bang!
Just as they were feeling astonished, berserk Spiritual Energy swept out from the other horizon. As countless people turned their gazes over, their expressions instantly turned cold.
Li Xuantong stood in the sky, with the longsword in his hand piercing through Gui Xiong's throat. At the same time, the giant axe in the latter's hand had chopped down on his shoulder, causing blood to flow.
It was a stance of using his life to exchange for Gui Xiong's.
However, it was clear that Li Xuantong had obtained a sliver of the upper hand in the end.
With his throat pierced, Gui Xiong opened his mouth, causing fresh blood to gush out. Appearing to be in disbelief, he stared at Li Xuantong, whose chest was faintly heaving up and down. He wanted to say something, but was blocked by the fresh blood in his mouth. In the end, his body slowly turned limp, before falling down from the sky.
Li Xuantong pulled out the axe from his shoulder, and casually stopped the blood from flowing out. Raising his sword with a single hand, he shot towards Mu Chen. Looking at the latter's blood-covered body, before looking at the malevolent-looking Mo Longzi in the distance, he said in a soft voice, "You've worked hard."
Luo Li hastily rushed over to support Mu Chen. Looking at the latter's blood-covered body, her heart ached as she asked, "Are you alright?"
Shaking his head, Mu Chen looked at Mo Longzi, who was staring at them with an incomparably cold expression on his face. At this moment, among the three of them, other than Luo Li, who was in a better condition, he and Li Xuantong had both suffered heavy injuries. Would they be able to deal with Mo Longzi, whose strength had increased explosively in such a state?
Mo Longzi's gaze was akin to a venomous snake as he stared at the three of them. In the next instant, a malevolent smile rose from the corners of his mouth. The blood-red dragon tail behind him gently swayed, while a voice brimming with killing intent slowly rang out across the sky.
"Those two fellows are truly trash. They can't even stop a person. However, since everyone's gathered, I'll deal with them all at once."
(Today, I'll continuously update!
Once again, I'll apologize for the update a few days ago. Due to the annual meeting being too busy, I've delayed the update.
However, I should be free for the second half of this month. I'll prepare to go into seclusion and write.
Although there's already a huge gap compared to before, I'll still work hard. I implore everyone to join me. No matter what, we'll fight until the last second!
Please let us work hard together!
