Xia Youran's lovable face was ice-cold as she looked towards the faintly smiling Liu Ying in the distance. Powerful Spiritual Energy surged from her body, causing creaking sounds to ring out from the surrounding air. She had always felt extreme hatred towards Liu Ying. Back then, due to some cooperation between the two great commerce associations, the two of them had formed a verbal agreement. However, that was merely a formality, a union of benefits. Everyone knew that it wasn't valid. However, who could have imagined that this fellow would actually use this as a reason to view her as his exclusive property, with any friends that got close to her suffering from his vengeance.
Due to the strength of the Umbra Commerce Association, it wasn't good for Xia Youran to have a falling out with Liu Ying. However, the hatred she felt towards him had grown even deeper.
The reason why this fellow would suddenly take action against Mu Chen was clearly due to the fact that Mu Chen had gotten close to her.
"Liu Ying, do you really think that I don't dare to deal with you?!" Xia Youran's voice was ice-cold, her lovable face as cold as frost.
Shrugging his shoulders, Liu Ying replied with a smile, "I just want you to calm down, Youran. That brat's too ambitious. Suffering a little setback is good for him."
After saying that, he looked towards Xia Youran with a faint smile and said, "Youran, the reason why I didn't directly take action to deal with that brat is because of you. Therefore, you don't have to take action anymore. Just quietly watch the show. Isn't that better?"
With a sneer, Xia Youran replied, "Do you think that Wu Dong will be able to deal with Mu Chen just because you've stopped me?"
"Haha. I know that Mu Chen has defeated Mo Longzi. However, Wu Dong isn't Mo Longzi. Although he failed to pass his Human Body Disaster, I'm afraid that there aren't many people within the Heavenly Completion Stage that are his match," replied Liu Ying with a faint smile.
Xia Youran lightly clenched her teeth. Although she was worried about Mu Chen, she naturally couldn't show it on her face at this moment. With a cold snort, she replied, "Let's just wait and see!"
From the looks of it, Liu Ying was clearly staring at her, not allowing her to take action. Although Xia Youran wasn't afraid of Liu Ying, if they were to fight, she might be entangled by the latter, which wouldn't be able to help Mu Chen.
"Then, I'll have to wait and see."
Seeing the fury present on Xia Youran's beautiful face, the smile at the corner of Liu Ying's mouth grew much wider. Placing his hands behind his back, he looked towards the sky with a grin.
Whoosh!
In the sky, Wu Dong's speed was exceedingly quick. Akin to a ray of light, he shuttled through the spatial gales that blotted the skies. Fiercely looking towards Mu Chen, who was currently shooting towards the spatial gales, he furiously sent a palm patting out. Boundless gales brought along by his palm's vigorous Spiritual Energy pierced through the spatial gales, furiously patting towards Mu Chen's figure.
When Wu Dong had rushed towards the sky, Mu Chen had already discovered him. Now that the former had made his move, a faint chill appeared in Mu Chen's eyes. A dragon shadow surfaced around his body as he retreated a dozen steps back, evading the incoming attack. After which, his figure slowed down slightly as he looked towards the figure shooting towards him.
"Your name is Mu Chen, right?"
Looking at Mu Chen, Wu Dong faintly smiled and said, "Go down. This Spiritual Treasure isn't something you can touch."
"Who are you?"
A wrinkle appeared on Mu Chen's forehead. The person before him appeared to be approximately thirty years of age, with the Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from his body unexpectedly being even more tyrannical than Mo Longzi.
"Heavenly Python City's City Lord, Wu Dong." Wu Dong's tone remained indifferent, yet a sliver of unconcealable arrogance was present within it.
Frowning, Mu Chen fell into deep thought, before replying with an emotionless face, "Never heard of you."
Wu Dong's expression instantly turned sluggish. Within the Northern Heavens Continent, he could be considered to have some fame and reputation. After all, being able to become a City Lord in a continent where experts were as common as the clouds in the sky at his age was considered to be an extraordinary achievement. Seeing Mu Chen's reaction, Wu Dong's eyes faintly narrowed, before speaking out with a sneer, "The students taught by Hokuang Reiwon are truly more and more arrogant than the previous. No wonder his reputation has been getting worse and worse over the years. Looks like he couldn't endure it any longer, and forced himself to let you participate in the Divine Spiritual Mountain. However, I'm afraid that not only will he not gain any fame and reputation, he'll also lose all his face."
"A puny Heavenly Python City's City Lord dares to spout such arrogant words. If Hokuang Reiwon wants to destroy you, it's just a matter of waving his hand." A frown appeared on Mu Chen's forehead, while his words didn't give the so-called City Lord of Heavenly Python City the slightest bit of face.
"You're courting death!"
Wu Dong's face finally sunk. With a move of his body, he explosively shot out. Fist shadows howled out, bringing along boundless Spiritual Energy that was as heavy as a mountain as they enveloped over Mu Chen.
Nevertheless, Mu Chen didn't want to clash head-on with Wu Dong. As a dragon shadow rose from his body, a dragon roar resounded out, causing his speed to explosively increase as he rushed straight into the tornado.
"Do you think you can run away today?"
Seeing Mu Chen rushing into the devastating tornado, Wu Dong's eyes faintly narrowed. In the next instant, a sneer rang out from him as the battle armour on his body erupted with dazzling rays of brilliance, enveloping his entire body. Transforming into a glowing shadow, he chased after the tornado.
As he rushed into the tornado, only then did Mu Chen feel the formidability of the spatial gales. Even with the protection of the Wind Resistance Spiritual Pearl, the Spatial Wind Blades that hid the skies and covered the earth as they furiously shot over with rotational force still caused red marks to appear on Mu Chen's body.
Circulating his Spiritual Energy, lightning arcs sparkled on the surface of his body as he forcefully endured the attacks that hid the skies and covered the earth, before flying towards the innermost region of the tornado.
Not far behind him, a green light flickered as Wu Dong closely chased after him. The green battle armour on his body protected his body, blocking all of the incoming Spatial Wind Blades. Looking at the figure of Mu Chen before him, he furiously clenched his hand, causing a long halberd to appear in a flash. With a tremble of his arm, incomparably fierce gales swept out, shattering all of the incoming Spatial Wind Blades, before heading straight for the vital points on the latter's body.
"You want to snatch my treasure from under my eyes? You're simply dreaming!"
Sensing the boundless gales shooting over from behind him, a cold glint flashed within Mu Chen's eyes. Coming to a sudden stop, he turned around and sent a fist rumbling out. Spiritual Energy blazing with black flames gushed out, completely shattering all of the Spiritual Energy halberd phantoms.
Whoosh!
After shattering the Spiritual Energy halberd phantoms with a fist, Mu Chen did not continue moving forward. Instead, he turned around and rushed towards Wu Dong.
"You're finally unable to endure it?
I'd assumed that you'd continue to flee like a rabbit! "
Seeing Mu Chen take the initiative to rush over, a sneer instantly surfaced at the corner of Wu Dong's mouth. Indeed, a greenhorn! He's unable to endure this! Does he think that I'm Mo Longzi?
Roar!
As Mu Chen explosively shot over, a frosty expression appeared on his face. Changing his fist seal, boundless Spiritual Energy rushed towards the sky from his back. As the starry sky surfaced, three gigantic beastial figures took form. In the next instant, bringing along astonishing power, they tore through the vast skies, causing the incomparably berserk spatial gales in the surroundings to scatter apart.
"You've got some ability."
Seeing the three gigantic beastial figures shooting over, the Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiating from them caused Wu Dong's eyes to faintly narrow. Such an attack was truly comparable to a Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. Looks like Mu Chen wasn't completely relying on luck to defeat Mo Longzi.
"However, this bit of ability doesn't count for much in front of me!"
With a furious jolt, the long halberd in Wu Dong's hand shot out in a straight line. As powerful Spiritual Energy swept out, the halberd phantoms transformed into an incomparably gigantic python. With a long roar, appearing to fuse together with the halberd, they forcefully pierced towards the three gigantic beastial figures.
Bang!
Berserk Spiritual Energy fluctuations rushed out, causing a hundred metre radius around the two to unexpectedly transform into a vacuum zone. Even the berserk spatial gales in the surroundings were unable to invade into the area.
Below, experts from various places raised their heads to look at the gigantic tornado, where the two people were currently intensely exchanging blows with the berserk spatial gales. This caused quite a few people to secretly smack their lips as they thought, Those two fellows are truly daring. The tornado is filled with spatial gales, and the slightest bit of carelessness would result in a disastrous price to pay.
There were also quite a few people who felt astonished by Mu Chen's performance. Everyone knew about Wu Dong's strength. Although he had failed to pass his Human Body Disaster, he was absolutely stronger than an ordinary Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. However, Mu Chen had actually dared to face him head-on, and was not at a disadvantage at all. This caused quite a few people to sigh in admiration. After all, his strength was only at Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase.
Whoosh!
As berserk Spiritual Energy swept out, Mu Chen's figure explosively shot out. Looking towards Wu Dong, who was standing in the distance with his halberd in hand, the chilling intent within his eyes grew increasingly dense. He was able to sense that the spatial gales within the tornado were gradually weakening. If he didn't deal with Wu Dong, once the spatial gales dissipated, the countless experts below, eyeing him covetously, might take action. At that time, wanting to snatch the treasure from the pack of wolves would truly become extremely difficult. After all, Mu Chen didn't believe that he would be able to defeat everyone below by himself.
Therefore, he needed to deal with this fellow as soon as possible!
Narrowing his eyes, Mu Chen's figure transformed into a streak of light, shooting straight towards Wu Dong in a perfectly straight line. Black lightning arcs danced across his body, while a powerful force radiated from him.
"Have you learnt a Deity Tier Body Refinement Technique?"
Wu Dong's eyesight was exceedingly sharp. With a single look, he could sense that there was something different about Mu Chen, causing the sneer on his face to grow even wider. This fool! Does he really think that he's that formidable just because he's learnt a Deity Tier Body Refinement Technique?
Although he had failed to pass his Human Body Disaster, he had still become exceedingly powerful. Even some people who had learnt a Deity Tier Body Refinement Technique would find it hard to match up to him.
"Fellow that doesn't know the immensity of heaven and earth! I'll deal with you in a single move!"
A fierce glint flashed within Wu Dong's eyes, before his body unexpectedly started to radiate with a lustrous white light. At this moment, the blood and flesh all over his body appeared to be boiling, while an exceedingly powerful force rippled out from his limbs and bones.
Taking a step into the air, his figure explosively shot out. In the span of a few breaths, he had already come into contact with Mu Chen, with the chilling intent gushing out from the other party's eyes.
Curling two of his fingers, Mu Chen shot out like a long spear. Piercing out, finger winds ripped apart the spatial gales in the surroundings, appearing exceedingly swift and fierce.
"Scram!"
A sinister smile appeared on Wu Dong's face as he clenched his fists tightly. Lustrous white light sparkled on the surface of his fists, appearing akin to jade and indestructible. This fist was more than sufficient to cause serious injuries to a Heavenly Completion Stage late stage expert!
However, faced against such an attack, Mu Chen unexpectedly did not evade. Stabbing out with two fingers, he smashed them against Wu Dong's fist winds.
At the instant of contact, Wu Dong seemed to see a sinister smile slowly creep up the corners of Mu Chen's mouth.
At the same time, one of Mu Chen's fingers instantly turned incomparably jet-black.
