Destruction!
Destruction! A black hurricane wreaked havoc across the heavens and earth. Low and deep sounds akin to the roar of a giant dragon rang out, causing the earth to tremble under the devastation of the hurricane.
After experiencing the miserable first wave of people, the various groups hiding in the dark did not dare to make any rash moves. Their gazes sparkled as they waited for the spatial gales to weaken. Only at that moment would they be able to take action.
While everyone was waiting in the dark for an opportunity, Mu Chen had already received the Wind Resistance Spiritual Pearl from Xia Youran's jade-like hands. Placing it within his sleeves, he raised his head to look at the devastating hurricane. Taking a deep breath, he said, "I'm going to take action. Senior sister Xia, if I succeed, you should leave first and regroup with us at the front."
If he was truly able to obtain the Spiritual Treasure, he might immediately become the target of everyone. If he was still together with Xia Youran at that time, he might cause some trouble for her. Although Xia Youran did not mind it, Mu Chen did not want to continue causing trouble for others.
Xia Youran understood the meaning behind Mu Chen's words. However, she was clear that although the youth before her was younger than her, he was extremely opinionated. Therefore, she did not say anything more. Nodding her head, she warned, "Be careful."
With a smile, Mu Chen nodded his head. Without any further hesitation, Spiritual Energy blazing with black flames rose, enveloping his entire body. Under his skin, black lightning arcs seemed to sparkle. Faced against the frightening spatial gales, Mu Chen clearly did not dare to show the slightest bit of neglect, immediately activating all of his defences.
Whoosh!
After doing so, Mu Chen's gaze gradually turned fierce. With a move of his body, he shot out like a bolt of black lightning.
Due to what had happened earlier, no one in this region dared to rashly take action. Now that Mu Chen had suddenly made his move, it immediately attracted all the gazes present.
"Someone's taking action again!"
"Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase?
Where did this idiot come from? He's practically sending himself to his death. "
"You don't know the immensity of heaven and earth. You need to be blessed to enjoy such a treasure."
Numerous whispers spread out in the dark, with the majority of them being mocking and sneering. Even a Heavenly Completion Stage Late Stage expert would find it extremely troublesome to deal with the tornado formed by the spatial gales. People at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Stage would practically be unable to escape from it.
Standing within the crack in the mountain, Liu Ying and Dong Yuan faintly narrowed their eyes as they looked towards the figure shooting towards the skies, while bewilderment flashed within their eyes.
"He's actually planning to snatch the treasure alone?"
Dong Yuan replied in slight astonishment. He had assumed that Xia Youran would accompany Mu Chen. He never imagined that this fellow would have such guts. However, with his strength, would he be able to charge into the tornado?
An indifferent smile appeared on Liu Ying's face, as he stared at the figure shooting across the sky, before saying, "How interesting. In that case, I really want to see exactly what kind of ability this brat, whose name has recently risen to fame, has.
However, although he had said those words, he still gave a hand signal towards a certain direction. At that location, a black figure seemed to have stood up, bringing along a chilling aura. In an instant, some of the experts in the surroundings distanced themselves from him, their eyes brimming with fear and dread.
"Oh?
It's that fellow. "Dong Yuan's eyes narrowed as he spoke out with a smile," Looks like you're not planning to take action yourself. "
"Wu Dong's the City Lord of the Heavenly Python City, and has some fame within the Northern Heavens Continent. He owed me a favour back then, and now's the time to return it … A Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase brat. Regardless of what methods he has, he's not worthy of me taking action personally." said Liu Ying with a faint smile, unconcealable arrogance present within his voice.
Dong Yuan shrugged his shoulders as he thought, This fellow's truly cautious.
As the two of them conversed, Mu Chen's figure had already shot out from the sky. Unexpectedly, the berserk and fierce spatial gales weren't able to pose much of a hindrance to him. Spiritual Energy burning with black flames enveloped his body. Occasionally, black spatial wind blades would sweep over, yet they were utterly unable to penetrate through the layer of Spiritual Energy defence.
This spectacle instantly caused quite a few cries of astonishment to ring out, with quite a few people having expressions of bewilderment on their faces. They were unable to understand why those incomparably ferocious spatial wind blades appeared to be as light as a feather when they landed on Mu Chen's body.
"That brat has a Spiritual Artifact that's able to defend against the gales."
A faint wrinkle appeared on Dong Yuan's forehead. Being the Young Master of the Heavenly Yuan Chamber of Commerce, his eyesight wasn't ordinary. With a single look, he was able to tell that Mu Chen should have a special Spiritual Artifact protecting his body. If not, it would be impossible for him to move so freely within the spatial gales without being affected in the slightest.
"It should be given to him by Xia Youran." Liu Ying's gaze grew increasingly dark. For the sake of protecting Mu Chen, Xia Youran was truly willing to put in so much effort!
Whoosh!
Across the horizon, Mu Chen's figure shot out explosively. In a short span of a dozen breaths, he had already neared the gigantic hurricane, while his entire body grew increasingly tense. That's because he knew that only by nearing this place would he be in true danger. The previous wave of people had been utterly defeated in this place, suffering disastrous losses.
Humm Humm!
Just as Mu Chen was on high alert, the hurricane seemed to have sensed his approach, as buzzing noises instantly rang out. In the next instant, a grave expression appeared on Mu Chen's face as he saw a darkness that hid the skies and covered the earth!
Spatial wind blades swept out. Akin to a wind dragon covered in blades, they enveloped him.
Furiously clenching his hand within his sleeves, a green halo of light rippled out from within the Wind Resistance Spirit Pearl.
Puff Puff!
As the wind dragon formed from the Spatial wind blades smashed against the halo of light, its swift and fierce radiance instantly turned much dimmer, while its sharpness was reduced. However, the attack this time was too powerful. Even after being greatly weakened by the Wind Resistance Spirit Pearl, it still did not dissipate. Spatial wind blade after Spatial wind blade violently shot towards Mu Chen's body.
Sneers of schadenfreude instantly rang out from below. This brat, he's going to be riddled with a thousand holes …
Next …
The sneers came to an abrupt halt, as the eyes of some people violently widened. In the sky, Mu Chen, who was being assaulted by the numerous Spatial wind blades, was unexpectedly only sent flying a dozen metres back, before stabilising himself once again. Not a single drop of blood dripped from his body, let alone the fact that he had been ripped apart.
This fellow had actually endured all of the Spatial wind blades!
This scene caused the expressions of some of the Heavenly Completion Stage Late Stage practitioners to turn solemn. They believed that if it was them, they would not be able to endure so many Spatial Wind Blades and come out unscathed. The youth before them obviously had some ability.
In the sky, Mu Chen did not pay any attention to the numerous gazes below. Lowering his head to look at his body, he noticed that his clothes had already been ripped apart, while faint white scars were present on his skin, giving off a dull pain. However, this bit of pain was completely ignored by Mu Chen.
Huff.
Hearing this, Mu Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, with the great increase in his strength, coupled with the help of his Lightning God's Physique and the Wind Resistance Spiritual Pearl, the spatial gales weren't able to cause too much harm to him.
Since that was the case, let's directly charge into the storm!
A grin appeared on Mu Chen's face. With a move of his body, he planned to charge into the tornado and snatch the Soul Treasure.
Within the crevice on the mountain, Liu Ying indifferently looked at the figure that continued to charge forward like a hot knife through butter despite the obstruction of the spatial gales. In the next instant, he gave a gentle nod towards the figure not far away. Extending his hand, he swiped it across his throat.
Kill him.
Bang!
Within the darkness, the human figure, whose entire body was shrouded in a dark and cold aura, also seemed to smile, revealing his sinisterly white teeth. His body moved, causing the ground beneath his feet to crack, forming numerous cracks. His body was just like a ferocious eagle, as he directly soared into the sky.
The figure that had suddenly rushed towards the sky immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. In the next instant, the expressions of some people slightly changed as they involuntarily cried out, "That's … Heavenly Python City Lord Wu Dong?"
"That fellow has long since advanced to Heavenly Completion Stage late stage. I wonder if he has passed his Human Body Disaster …"
"It's said that Wu Dong had once attempted to pass his Human Body Disaster, but failed. That fellow's pretty formidable, and was lucky enough to survive. However, with his current strength, ordinary Heavenly Completion Stage late stage experts are absolutely no match for him."
"Since he's taken action, I'm afraid that brat's out of luck."
Amidst the whispers of the crowd, the figure that had rushed forward became increasingly clear. That figure was wearing a green armour, with a faint green glow sparkling on it. Clearly, it was a defensive Spiritual Artifact. Although the surrounding Spatial Wind Blades managed to leave some shallow marks on the armour, they were unable to break through it.
Clearly, this Wu Dong had come prepared.
Below, Xia Youran had also noticed Wu Dong, who was rushing towards Mu Chen. In the next instant, her lovable face slightly sunk. With a cold snort, she gave a flick of her jade-like finger, boundless Spiritual Energy shot out. Akin to a waterfall, it swept towards the latter.
Wu Dong had also sensed the swift and fierce attack. However, he did not show the slightest bit of hesitation, nor did he show any intention of paying any attention to it.
However, just as the Spiritual Energy pillar was about to hit Wu Dong, a ray of grey light suddenly shot over from below, obstructing the Spiritual Energy pillar in its path.
With a slightly frosty expression on her lovable face, Xia Youran turned her head around, only to see a figure walking out from the crack in the mountain with a faint smile on his face. It was Liu Ying.
"Liu Ying!
What are you doing?! "Xia Youran's voice was ice-cold. It's that hateful fellow again!
With a faint smile on his face, Liu Ying's indifferent voice rang out amidst the howling winds.
"Youran, the Spiritual Treasures of Heaven and Earth belong to those with ability. Why bother obstructing others? If that brat doesn't have the ability, it's best for him to obediently return to Hokuang Reiwon to cultivate. Such a Spiritual Treasure isn't something he can touch."
(It's the last three days of this month.

No matter what, we won't admit defeat!
Where's the Soul Duel of the past?!
Begging for monthly votes!!!)
