At the instant when Mu Chen's finger turned jet-black, Wu Dong seemed to have sensed it, causing an uncontrollable chill to suddenly erupt within his heart. With a swish, cold sweat instantly drenched his entire body. The acute senses bestowed upon him by his many years of cultivation had caused him to feel a fatal sense of unease.
Therefore, he seemed to have forcefully halted the momentum of his fist at this instant. The backlash from the gale-force winds caused the Spiritual Energy within his body to churn chaotically. Nevertheless, he paid no heed to it as he explosively retreated.
"Isn't it a little too late to leave now?"
However, at the instant when he explosively retreated, Mu Chen's chilling voice rang out like maggots in one's bones. At this moment, a chilling intent enveloped the handsome face of the youth. Taking a step forward, the shadow of a giant dragon seemed to surface beneath his feet. Carrying his body on its back, the giant dragon shuttled through space with a single step.
His figure appeared akin to a spectre as he appeared before the retreating Wu Dong. At lightning speed, his jet-black finger shot straight towards the latter's throat.
At this moment, the jet-black finger appeared akin to the scythe of the grim reaper, radiating with a dense aura of death.
His speed was too quick, so quick that Wu Dong was unable to react in time. The only thing he could do was to use his arm to block before his body, Spiritual Energy explosively gushing out to protect his body.
Whoosh!
As the jet-black finger pierced through, the boundless Spiritual Energy defence erupted with crackling sounds upon coming in contact with the jet-black finger, before unexpectedly being melted away. Akin to an incomparably sharp dagger, Mu Chen's finger streaked across Wu Dong's arm at lightning speed.
As the finger streaked across, it brought along a smear of fresh blood.
Wu Dong's figure retreated in a miserable fashion. In the next instant, he was incomparably shocked to see that his entire arm had started to turn jet-black at an astonishing speed. At this moment, those black lines were still crazily extending towards his body.
That was a frightening poison!
Overwhelmed with shock and horror, Wu Dong hastily circulated his Spiritual Energy in an attempt to force the lethal poison out of his body. However, as his Spiritual Energy came in contact with the black poison, he discovered that the Spiritual Energy within his body was unexpectedly being rapidly corroded by the poison. At this moment, his Spiritual Energy had turned into a lethal poison!
He was simply unable to force it out!
What an overbearing poison!
Wu Dong's face turned deathly pale at this moment. What kind of poison was this?
It was so domineering that it could even pollute spiritual energy!
As the black poison threads rapidly extended, Wu Dong's eyes turned scarlet-red. Furiously clenching his teeth, he used his hand as a blade. Spiritual Energy gushed out, before violently chopping down at the base of his arm.
Ah!
A mournful shriek rang out from Wu Dong's mouth, as the jet-black arm fell off. The blood that spurted out was pitch-black in colour, while the severed arm rapidly shrivelled up. In a short span of a few breaths, it had turned into black ashes that drifted away.
Wu Dong retreated hastily. His face was deathly pale, and his forehead was beaded with sweat. He stared at Mu Chen with an expression of extreme fear. That poison was too terrifying!
Mu Chen's eyebrows faintly wrinkled as he watched the scene unfold before him. He had finally found the opportunity to display his' Black Lightning Poison Finger 'with great difficulty. He never imagined that Wu Dong would be so decisive. Upon discovering that the overbearing poison gas was impossible to expel, he had actually chopped off his arm.
"Again!"
With an indifferent smile on his face, Mu Chen's figure shot out once again. As for Wu Dong, he was scared out of his wits. Unexpectedly, he no longer dared to take action against Mu Chen. Turning around, he fled in a miserable state, while a furious roar resounded across the sky along with the spatial gales. "Mu Chen, I'll definitely repay you for my severed arm!"
Looking at Wu Dong's fleeing figure, Mu Chen gave a faint smile, before the jet-black finger started to slowly return to its original state. Every time he used his' Black Lightning Poison Finger ', it would consume its poison energy. Therefore, he would usually not use it if he could, keeping it as a trump card. If not for the fact that he wanted to quickly escape from Wu Dong, he would not have used it. However, he never expected that the' Black Lightning Poison Finger 'would be so tyrannical. Just being touched by it was enough to cripple Wu Dong's arm.
He did not chase after the fleeing Wu Dong. Although he wanted to beat a drowning dog, the current him had an even more important matter to attend to.
Turning around, he looked towards the depths of the storm, before explosively shooting over. He needed to make the best use of his time to snatch that Soul Treasure!
As Wu Dong fled, the various experts below could faintly hear Wu Dong's furious roar ringing out from within the storm, causing their faces to slightly change. However, due to the storm obstructing their view, they were unable to ascertain exactly what was happening within for a time.
The originally smiling expression on Liu Ying's face started to turn dark bit by bit. Clearly, he had felt that something was amiss.
Whoosh!
While everyone was guessing, a glowing figure suddenly shot out from within the tornado in the sky, causing everyone to immediately turn their gazes over.
From there, Wu Dong had fled in a panic. His face was deathly pale, while his entire body was drenched in cold sweat. From his appearance, he appeared just like a dog that had lost its home, with no trace of the lofty and arrogant aura of a city lord present at the start.
Shooting a look at Wu Dong, their gazes finally stopped at the location of his severed arm. Immediately, the pupils of quite a few people violently contracted, while thick shock and terror gushed out from their hearts.
Wu Dong's arm had actually been severed in such a short span of time?!
That Mu Chen was actually formidable to such a degree?
Relying on his Heavenly Completion Stage initial phase strength, not only had he forced Wu Dong to retreat, he had even severed an arm?!
How was that possible?!
The hearts of the numerous experts present shook, while their expressions continuously fluctuated.
Liu Ying had also caught sight of the current Wu Dong. Therefore, his originally gloomy gaze turned even more frighteningly gloomy at this moment. Clenching his fists tightly, his handsome face started to distort slightly. Wu Dong, that trash, was actually injured to such an extent by that Mu Chen?!
While Liu Ying's heart was raging with rage, Xia Youran was also staring blankly at the scene before her, her beautiful eyes brimming with astonishment. She knew that Mu Chen definitely had his redeeming qualities to be able to represent Hokuang Reiwon to participate in the Divine Spiritual Mountain. However, she never imagined that the latter would actually be able to injure Wu Dong to such an extent in such a short span of time.
Regardless of anything, that Wu Dong was a person that had experienced his Human Body Disaster. Although he had failed, he was still extremely powerful to an ordinary Heavenly Completion Stage expert. However, from the looks of it, Mu Chen had still underestimated that fellow.
Gently patting her ample bosom, Xia Youran breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, the chilling intent present on her lovable face had already completely disappeared. Looking towards the slightly distorted Liu Ying with ridicule in her beautiful eyes, she said, "Looks like you won't be able to get what you want this time."
Liu Ying's eyes sunk as fury and fury erupted within his heart. With a deep voice, he replied, "Don't you think it's too early for you to be happy? Since Wu Dong's useless, I'll personally test how much he's worth!"
As his voice rang out, he gave a stomp of his feet, causing his figure to explosively rush forward. In an instant, exceedingly powerful Spiritual Energy swept out akin to a giant wave, causing the spatial gales that were wreaking havoc in this region to unexpectedly be blocked a few hundred metres away, with them being unable to approach him at all!
Seeing this, the numerous experts in this region were startled as they looked towards Liu Ying, who was radiating an astonishing aura, while shock shook their hearts. Is this the highest level of the younger generation in the Northern Heavens Continent?
From the looks of it, this Liu Ying should have already successfully passed through the first of the Three Sovereign Disasters, his Human Body Disaster, right?
"That Liu Ying's going to personally take action!"
Some people cried out in shock, before their eyes turned scorching hot. Generally speaking, people like Liu Ying would only take action in the baptism grounds. However, no one imagined that he would be forced to take action by Mu Chen, who was only at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase.
"Liu Ying, you dare!"
Xia Youran's eyebrows furrowed. With a move of her lovable figure, she shot out akin to a bolt of lightning, appearing right before Liu Ying. Spiritual Energy that blotted the skies swept out from her body, causing her exquisite and voluptuous figure to radiate with a fluorescent glow. This caused her snow-white skin to appear incomparably alluring.
"Xia Youran!"
Liu Ying gave a low and furious roar. Staring solemnly at Xia Youran, who was obstructing his path, he roared out in a fierce voice, "Get out of my way!"
"Liu Ying, I advise you not to go too far!"
Xia Youran's lovable face turned frosty as Spiritual Energy that blotted the skies swept out from her back, appearing akin to an ocean. Faced against Liu Ying, who was radiating an astonishing aura, there wasn't the slightest bit of fear or dread present in her as her ice-cold voice rang out across the skies.
"With me here, I'll absolutely not let you touch a single hair on him!"
Replied Liu Ying with a chilling expression on his face. Seeing Xia Youran protecting Mu Chen caused the flames of jealousy to burn within his heart, causing him to wish that he could dismember the latter into a thousand pieces. Taking a step forward, a pressure formed from Spiritual Energy that blotted the skies enveloped Xia Youran as he roared out, "I really want to see what abilities you have to make me unable to touch a single hair on him!"
"Come and give it a try!"
Xia Youran had also taken a step forward, giving tit for tat as the two powerful Spiritual Energy pressures fiercely collided in the skies, causing thunderous explosions to ring out. As the pressure radiated out, it caused quite a few experts below to feel sluggish, not even daring to breathe loudly. From the looks of it, the two figures at the peak of the younger generation of the Northern Heavens Continent seemed to be about to take action.
The atmosphere of the entire region seemed to have solidified at this moment, to the point that even the berserk spatial gales were unable to blow it away.
In the skies, the two people stared coldly at each other, with the atmosphere turning hostile.
As the two of them stood in confrontation, Mu Chen had already successfully reached the deepest region within the storm. At the heart of the storm, the incomparably berserk spatial gales had completely disappeared. The tranquility and the flying sand and stones outside formed two completely different scenes.
Floating within the heart of the storm, Mu Chen's eyes were blazing as he looked towards the front. At that location, a clump of light radiated with dazzling brilliance. Within that brilliance, a jade-like bone quietly floated there, while indescribable fluctuations radiated from it, causing the surrounding space to slightly tremble.
This was a pressure that caused even the heavens and earth to tremble.
The pressure of a Heavenly Sovereign!
This jade-like bone was definitely left behind by a Heavenly Sovereign!
