An ordinary-looking male dressed in sackcloth stood before Mu Chen and the rest. Not the slightest ripple could be seen within his dead-bottom-like eyes, yet it caused people's hearts to feel a chill.
At this moment, Mu Chen's gaze was tightly locked onto the male before him, while his entire body appeared to have tensed up. At this moment, the Spiritual Energy within his body had already started to circulate. He could feel an extreme feeling of danger radiating from the person before him. Even Mo Longzi was far from being able to match up to such a feeling!
Staring coldly at the person who had come with ill intentions, Mu Chen could faintly guess his opponent's identity within his heart.
Beside Mu Chen, Luo Li's slender jade-like hand had already grasped onto the hilt of her sword. Once the other party made any movements, she would take action without the slightest bit of hesitation.
"Mo Xingtian, what are you doing?!" The first person to speak out was Xia Youran. Staring vigilantly at the male before her, she roared out.
Mo Xingtian.
This name, which had long been guessed, spread out within this level of the pavilion, causing shocked expressions to appear on the faces of some people. Within the current younger generation of the Northern Heavens Continent, Xia Youran, Liu Ying and the rest could be considered to be at the peak. However, everyone knew that the one that caused the most fear and dread within the younger generation might still be the Demonic Dragon Palace's Mo Xingtian.
Although the frequency of Mo Xingtian's appearances in the Northern Heavens Continent was far less than Mo Longzi's in the past one or two years, his existence still caused the hearts of many young geniuses to sink. That's because there seemed to be no news of Mo Xingtian's defeat in a fight … Naturally, this was under the premise that it was a fight between people of the same generation.
Therefore, from a certain point of view, Mo Xingtian could be considered as the number one person within the younger generation of the Northern Heavens Continent. Although there weren't any similar rumours about him, everyone had a scale within their hearts. There were some things that they could evaluate for themselves.
Although Xia Youran, Liu Ying, Su Buxiu and the other geniuses from the various peak powers were exceedingly outstanding, if one were to ask them who they feared the most in the younger generation, the answer would definitely be Mo Xingtian.
Faced against Xia Youran's roar, not the slightest bit of fluctuation was present within Mo Xingtian's eyes. Staring straight at Mu Chen with his deadpan eyes, not the slightest bit of fluctuation was present in his voice as he said, "My mission this time is to kill you."
All of a sudden, a chilling glint flashed within Luo Li's beautiful eyes. With a jerk of her jade-like hand, a sword cry rang out, before a Sword Qi shot explosively towards Mo Xingtian without the slightest bit of mercy.
Just as the Sword Aura was about to shoot towards Mo Xingtian's body, a glowing Spiritual Energy halo surfaced on the surface of his body, blocking the Sword Aura. Shaking his head, he said, "It's a little weak."
"Is that so?"
A chilling glint flashed across Luo Li's beautiful eyes as she clenched her longsword. Just as she was about to take action, it was grabbed by Mu Chen's hand. Tilting her head, the latter shook his head at her. Raising his eyes, he stared at the man before him, who gave off a heart palpitations. With a smile, he said, "If you want to kill me here, I'll think that your brain's broken."
As his voice rang out, his gaze instantly turned frosty and fierce, while his tone was akin to the edge of a blade. "Scram."
Humm.
Low clamours instantly rang out within the building as quite a few people looked towards Mu Chen in disbelief. Clearly, they never imagined that he would actually dare to use such a tone to speak to Mo Xingtian.
A faint glint flashed across the eyes of some people hidden in the shadows as they secretly thought about how interesting the situation was.
At this moment, ripples appeared to appear within Mo Xingtian's deadpan gaze, as he started to consider the success rate of killing Mu Chen.
Tap.
In the end, he took a step forward. However, just as his foot landed, his eyes faintly shivered. He could feel a dangerous fluctuation suddenly erupting from the body of the beautiful girl beside Mu Chen, who was radiating an indifferent aura.
His footsteps came to a halt as a grave expression appeared on his face for the first time.
"He told you to scram. Don't you understand?"
The beautiful girl in a snow-white dress slowly raised her beautiful face. However, her beautiful eyes were currently filled with an icy chill.
Mo Xingtian's pupils shrank. However, his face trembled in the next moment. He had seen that the beautiful girl had taken action.
Without any overly gorgeous movements, the beautiful girl extended her slender jade-like hand and suddenly clenched her jade-like fingers.
As she clenched her jade-like hand, the space around Mo Xingtian had unexpectedly collapsed furiously. In the next instant, rays of light shot out explosively from the surrounding space. Akin to a glowing net, they enveloped Mo Xingtian's body. As the rays of light shot out, black scars appeared in the surrounding space.
An indescribable feeling of danger surged within Mo Xingtian's heart. His figure furiously retreated. In that instant, his body seemed to turn illusory for an instant. In the next instant, before the rays of light that could even tear apart space could reach his body, he had already reappeared a dozen meters behind.
Hearing this, Mu Chen's eyes faintly narrowed. This Mo Xingtian's movement technique was rather strange and strange. In the previous instant, it appeared as if he had transformed from a corporeal body into an illusory image. However, this fellow truly was formidable, to actually be able to evade Ling Xi's attack. Although this was due to the fact that Ling Xi had yet to truly take action against him, regardless of anything, the latter possessed the strength sufficient to suppress Mo Xingtian.
"Hmph."
Seeing that she was actually unable to deal with Mo Xingtian after taking action, Ling Xi's eyebrows faintly knitted together, feeling extremely dissatisfied. In the next instant, she slapped her jade-like hand on the table. In the next instant, everyone felt the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth fluctuating violently. The space around Mo Xingtian had turned abnormally distorted, appearing just like a separate space!
Just like a prison, it had completely isolated Mo Xingtian.
"A spatial prison?
A Sovereign expert?! "
Cries of shock and astonishment rang out from within the building as everyone looked towards Ling Xi in fear and trepidation, their eyes brimming with disbelief. Clearly, they were unable to believe that such a young girl would actually possess the strength of a Sovereign. Since when did such a frightening student appear in Hokuang Reiwon?
Ignoring those cries of shock and astonishment, Ling Xi gave a flick of her jade-like finger. In the next instant, a ray of light that had been compressed to its limits shot out from her fingertip. Piercing through space, it shot straight towards the vital point between Mo Xingtian's eyebrows. Clearly, she was intending to take his life.
Shock and astonishment filled the surrounding people once again. Clearly, they had been intimidated by Ling Xi's viciousness.
Being trapped within the distorted space, Mo Xingtian was unable to display any of his movement techniques. Tightly knitting his brows, he looked towards the frightening ray of light shooting towards him. However, there wasn't any trace of fear or dread present on his face.
"Hmph, what guts you have. You actually dare to kill someone from my Demonic Dragon Palace?!"
Just as the crystalline pillar of light was about to strike Mo Xingtian, a faint and cold snort suddenly rang out. In the next instant, space collapsed and shattered, as if an old and withered hand had slapped out. With a single slap, it shattered the distorted space. At the same time, with a flick of its finger, it shattered the crystalline pillar of light.
Space fluctuated as a black-robed figure appeared by Mo Xingtian's side. It was the Black Dragon Sovereign of the Demonic Dragon Palace. At this moment, his eyes were dark and cold as he stared at Ling Xi. A frightening Sovereign pressure radiated from him, causing the expressions of quite a few young experts in the building to change as they hastily retreated.
Taking a step forward, Ling Xi stood in front of Mu Chen and the rest. Chilliness surged within her beautiful eyes, while spiritual light sparkled beneath her slender jade-like fingers. The surrounding air seemed to boil, while exceedingly powerful fluctuations faintly condensed.
"You're the elder from Hokuang Reiwon that's proficient in Spiritual Arrays, right?"
Looking at the boiling air around Ling Xi, the Black Dragon Sovereign's eyes narrowed as he spoke out in an indifferent voice.
"So it's an elder from Hokuang Reiwon."
"However, why does he seem to be around the same age as us?"
"It shouldn't be difficult for an expert with that level of strength to make his appearance a little more unique."
"However, something doesn't feel right!"
The Black Dragon Sovereign's words caused quite a few people within the building to quietly breathe a sigh of relief. However, they could faintly feel that something wasn't quite right. However, wouldn't such a young Sovereign be too much of a blow to their morale?
"If you're Elder Hokuang Reiwon, I'm afraid that you'll be breaking the rules today!" said the Black Dragon Sovereign with a sinister expression.
"Haha. We've already warned this brother. However, he insists on taking action." replied Mu Chen with a faint smile, while a somewhat regretful expression appeared on his face. The reason why he had used words to provoke Mo Xingtian was because he wanted him to take action. That way, they would have an honorable reason to do so. Therefore, it wouldn't matter even if they were to kill him. However, this Mo Xingtian was indeed extremely hard to deal with. The reason why he had taken a step forward was similarly to probe the capabilities of their side.
However, the only thing that had exceeded his expectations was that Ling Xi's strength was actually that strong.
"This isn't the place for a junior like you to speak!"
Said the Black Dragon Sovereign in a frosty voice. Clearly, he felt extreme loathing towards Mu Chen. After all, the latter was still holding onto the most valuable treasure of their Demonic Dragon Palace!
"Haha! Black Dragon Sovereign, you're truly awe-inspiring. You're even able to fight against a student of our Hokuang Reiwon."
All of a sudden, a faint laughter rang out as the space beside Mu Chen fluctuated, before Dean Tai Cang appeared. Looking towards the Black Dragon Sovereign, he spoke out with a faint smile.
Staring coldly at Dean Tai Cang, the Black Dragon Sovereign sneered, "Tai Cang, I never imagined that your Hokuang Reiwon would actually dare to participate in the Divine Spiritual Mountain. What?
Haven't those elite students that died back then taught you a sufficient lesson? "
Shooting an indifferent look towards the Black Dragon Sovereign, Dean Tai Cang replied, "The Divine Spiritual Mountain hasn't even started yet. Don't get too complacent now. Don't be unable to take back your words when the time comes."
"Is that so?
Then, I'll have to wait and see. "
A ridiculing smile appeared on the Black Dragon Sovereign's face. Shooting a look at Mu Chen's body, he shook his head and said, "Do you really think that you're some rare genius just because you've dealt with Mo Longzi?
Looks like your Hokuang Reiwon has indeed become more and more useless over the years. Relax, since you're here, my Demonic Dragon Palace will let you guys have a taste of what we had a few years ago. "
As his voice rang out, he gave a sneer as he turned around and left, with no one daring to obstruct him.
As Mo Xingtian turned around, his gaze shot towards Mu Chen. A smile seemed to appear on his face. However, there wasn't the slightest bit of warmth within that smile. His eyes, which were like dead pools of water, appeared as though he was staring at a corpse. In the next instant, he turned around and left.
Looking towards Mo Xingtian's back figure, a chilling glint flashed within Mu Chen's eyes. This Mo Xingtian was indeed worthy of being the super vicious person ranked first on their Hokuang Reiwon's bounty list. Compared to Mo Longzi, he was much more troublesome to deal with.
From the looks of it, this time's Divine Spiritual Mountain would be filled with twists and turns.
