Eye-piercing scarlet-red sword light blossomed across the horizon, akin to a blood-red firework. Within its beauty, was a sharpness that caused people's hearts to palpitate.
Countless people in this region stared dumbfoundedly at the scene before them. This scene had clearly exceeded everyone's expectations. No one could have imagined that the Yellow Dragon Sovereign, who should have absolute control over the situation, would actually be sent flying by Mu Chen's demonic pillar, before being struck head-on by the astonishing sword light that had suddenly erupted from Luo Li.
The blood-red sword light in the horizon gradually dissipated under the astonished gazes that blotted the skies. In the next instant, a figure once again appeared in everyone's field of vision.
When that figure appeared, sounds of people sucking in a breath of cold air immediately rang out across the region, rising and falling in succession, continuing for a long time.
That figure was naturally the Yellow Dragon Sovereign. However, at this moment, the expression on his face was exceedingly dark and gloomy. That's because the clothes on his chest had been ripped apart, revealing his chest. At this moment, there was unexpectedly a bloody scar on his chest, extending from his lower abdomen all the way to his throat...
The Yellow Dragon Sovereign had actually been injured!
Countless gazes looked in shock at the black-robed absolute beauty in the sky. She had actually injured a First Grade Sovereign with her Heavenly Completion Stage strength?
How was that possible … not to mention that he was only at Heavenly Completion Stage, even if it was someone that had passed through the Three Sovereign Disasters, it would be impossible for him to injure a First Grade Sovereign!
"What a formidable divine sword."
Xia Tianyan's gaze stared at the Luo God Sword tightly grasped in Luo Li's jade-like hand as a smear of astonishment flashed within his eyes. He could feel a sense of danger from that sword. If that sword were to land in the hands of a First Grade Sovereign, even he would feel extreme fear.
That was definitely a Divine Artifact!
Furthermore, it might not be ordinary even amongst Divine Artifacts.
"Exactly where did that girl come from?
He's actually able to wield such a formidable Divine Artifact … "Xia Tianyan muttered in astonishment. A Divine Artifact! Even their Nine Summers Chamber of Commerce wasn't able to take it out. He never imagined that it would appear in the hands of a student of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. This simply caused his eyes to turn red.
Even though he was envious, Xia Tianyan understood that a girl that could wield such a precious treasure would definitely have a powerful background. Anyone that dared to touch her would have to pay a disastrous price.
Xia Youran also shook her head as astonishment filled her eyes. Although she was somewhat acquainted with Luo Li, she never imagined that this absolute beauty with a tranquil temperament would actually possess such methods.
"However, she's still too weak, and is unable to display the full strength of that Divine Sword. If not, with one of them wielding a demonic pillar and the other wielding a Divine Sword, even the Yellow Dragon Sovereign would be badly battered," said Xia Tianyan regretfully. "Furthermore … the Yellow Dragon Sovereign might go crazy."
Indeed, the Yellow Dragon Sovereign was about to go crazy. Lowering his head to look at the wound on his chest, his entire body started to tremble uncontrollably, while his face turned fiery hot. Although such an injury wasn't much to him, it was undoubtedly a fierce slap to his face. Furthermore, it was done in front of the countless experts of the Northern Heavens Continent … he could imagine how big of a laughing stock he would become if news of this matter were to spread out.
A dignified Sovereign Realm existence had been injured to such a miserable state by the hands of two Heavenly Completion Stage juniors. A moment of carelessness had caused him to lose all of his face.
"You two little bastards …" The Yellow Dragon Sovereign's voice trembled as he stared incomparably malevolent towards Mu Chen and Luo Li, wishing that he could dismember the two of them into a thousand pieces.
"Today, I'll make the two of you suffer a fate worse than death!"
The Yellow Dragon Sovereign roared as his body explosively shot forward. In a flash, he appeared right in front of Luo Li. With a flick of his finger, the space before him was shattered apart. Frightening ripples filled with destructive energies swept towards Luo Li at lightning speed.
Whoosh!
However, just as the frightening ripples were about to reach Luo Li, a dragon shadow suddenly shot out. Grabbing Luo Li's slender waist, Mu Chen rushed out of the range of the ripples.
"Little bastard, you can't even protect yourself, and you're still thinking of saving others?"
A malevolent smile appeared on the Yellow Dragon Sovereign's face as he pointed his finger out once again. In the next instant, a ray of light that was as viscous as liquid shot out from his fingertip. Splitting space apart, it violently shot towards Mu Chen's back.
Puff.
Receiving such a heavy blow, a mouthful of blood immediately spurted out from Mu Chen's mouth. Grabbing onto Luo Li, he was sent flying a thousand metres back in a miserable fashion. His back was a mangled mess of flesh and blood. If not for his initial mastery of the Lightning God's Physique, that finger from the Yellow Dragon Sovereign would have pierced right through him.
"Mu Chen!"
Blood dripped from the corner of Mu Chen's mouth as it dripped onto Luo Li's long silver hair, causing it to appear exceedingly eye-catching. However, she couldn't care about this at all. Raising her lovable face to look at the pale-faced Mu Chen, her heart instantly clenched, while her pearly white teeth bit down on her rosy lips, leaving a red mark.
"I won't die yet."
With a forced smile, Mu Chen felt as though all of the bones within his body had been shattered, causing incomparable pain. Truly worthy of being a Sovereign expert! Just a little bit of seriousness was enough to cause them to be unable to put up any resistance. From the looks of it, he had still underestimated the strength of a Sovereign. Even with the miraculous effects of the "Page of Sealing", he was able to temporarily seal the Spiritual Energy within the Yellow Dragon Sovereign's body. Even so, it was impossible for the two of them to truly injure the Yellow Dragon Sovereign.
"Indeed, you won't die yet. That's because I'll make you wish you were dead!"
A cold and indifferent voice that didn't contain the slightest bit of emotion rang out from behind. Looking at them with malevolent eyes, the Yellow Dragon Sovereign raised his finger once again.
Clenching her teeth, Luo Li tightly gripped the Luo God Sword with her jade-like hands. In the next instant, her jade-like fingers swiped across the sword's edge, before forming a seal with her jade-like hands. In the next instant, an incomparably complicated blood-red rune surfaced on the body of the sword. Extending her jade-like hands, she planned to erase that rune, and completely unseal the "Luo God Sword".
However, just as she was about to do so, Mu Chen fiercely grabbed onto the body of the sword. Instantly, his hand was sliced by the swift and fierce Sword Aura, causing blood to flow from his hand. Startled, Luo Li hastily suppressed the Sword Aura on the Luo God Sword.
"Let go!" cried out Luo Li anxiously.
"Don't do that. Don't worry, I won't die that easily!"
Replied Mu Chen through clenched teeth. He knew that Luo Li had some formidable cards up her sleeves. If she was allowed to use them, she might be able to block the Yellow Dragon Sovereign. However, the price of doing so would be that Luo Li would have to leave in advance. This was something that Mu Chen did not want.
Luo Li was also aware of what Mu Chen was thinking about. She really liked the feeling of being together with Mu Chen. However, in her heart, all of these things were ranked behind Mu Chen's safety. If giving up all of these things in exchange for Mu Chen's safety, she would do it without the slightest bit of hesitation …
"Trust me!"
Luo Li tightly clenched her teeth. Looking towards Mu Chen's gaze, she finally loosened her hand seal. Gently nodding her head, she said, "If you're out of ideas, I'll take action!"
Her words were spoken with decisiveness that could sever nails and chop iron. Clearly, she would not allow Mu Chen to sway her decision.
With a helpless smile, Mu Chen moved his body, causing the shadow of a giant dragon to surface beneath his feet. In the next instant, he shot out like a spectre, while a ray of light flashed past his ear. Although the gale-force wind had missed, it still left a bloody scar on his face.
Suddenly, extremely frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations rushed towards the skies in the distance. Everyone turned their gazes over, only to see an astonishing fight erupting at the location where Liu An and Ling Xi were at. Ling Xi, who was originally standing in a lukewarm confrontation with Liu An, had her lovable face suddenly brimming with a chilling aura. Her actions were incomparably vicious as frightening attacks continuously swept towards Liu An, causing the latter to be somewhat unprepared for the moment.
"Scram!"
A frosty expression appeared on Ling Xi's lovable face, while killing intent erupted from her beautiful eyes.
Liu An was also startled by the astonishing killing intent that had suddenly erupted from Ling Xi. Looking thoughtfully at Mu Chen, who was currently miserably fleeing from the Yellow Dragon Sovereign, a helpless smile appeared on his face as he said, "Miss Ling Xi, isn't it better for us to just put on an act like we did before?
Why do we have to take action? If we do that, none of us will gain any benefits. "
Bang!
Before his words could ring out, Ling Xi gave a wave of her jade-like hand. In the next instant, the skies started to fluctuate as countless rays of light shot out, forming a gigantic scarlet-red Spiritual Array that spanned thousands of metres. Within the Spiritual Array, what appeared to be a majestic volcano that was thousands of metres tall rapidly condensed and took shape.
"Scram!"
With a frosty expression on her lovable face, Ling Xi roared out once again. With a wave of her cloud-like sleeve, astonishing fluctuations erupted from the majestic volcano. Magma spurted out, transforming into an incomparably gigantic magma python. Rushing down, it crazily sent an attack straight towards Liu An.
Slightly changing his expression, not daring to show any neglect, Liu An gave a low roar. In the next instant, a gigantic glowing Spiritual Energy figure condensed behind his back. Appearing akin to a giant that could prop up the heavens, its breath transforming into clouds and winds. Rumbling out, a giant hand that appeared corporeal rumbled out, shattering space apart as it clashed head-on against the giant magma python.
Faced against the enraged Ling Xi, Liu An had no choice but to summon his Sovereign Celestial Body.
As Ling Xi and Liu An exchanged blows, Mu Chen's appearance grew increasingly miserable. The frequency of the Yellow Dragon Sovereign's attacks grew increasingly faster, while the number of injuries on his body grew more and more numerous, with blood flowing out from his wounds.
Within Liu An's embrace, Luo Li's eyes turned slightly red as the jade-like hand that was grasping onto the Luo God Sword faintly trembled.
"You're really good at dodging. Do you want to do it again?"
With a malevolent smile, the Yellow Dragon Sovereign extended his ten fingers, before furiously pressing them down in the air.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As his ten fingers pressed down, dozens of frightening rays of light shattered space apart, enveloping a radius of a thousand metres around Mu Chen. Such an attack was simply impossible to evade.
Clenching his teeth, a black pagoda shot out from Mu Chen's hand. Rapidly expanding, it transformed into a gigantic nine-layered pagoda, enveloping him and Luo Li within it.
Bang!
Bang!
Rays of light violently smashed against the Nine-layered pagoda. Faced against such frightening attacks, even with the defences of the Nine-layered pagoda, cracks started to appear on its surface. In the end, a loud bang rang out. This was the first time that the strongest defensive move in Mu Chen's hands had been smashed apart.
"You two little bastards can die now!"
With a malevolent smile, the Yellow Dragon Sovereign abruptly shot out. With a wave of his hand, a gigantic Spiritual Energy hand of a thousand metres condensed into being. Smashing down ferociously towards Mu Chen and Luo Li, the surrounding space started to shatter apart inch by inch.
The Yellow Dragon Sovereign had finally had his fill of playing, and was planning to thoroughly kill the two of them.
As the Nine-layered Pagoda exploded apart, Mu Chen spurted out another mouthful of blood. Within his embrace, an ancient and cryptic blood-red rune surfaced on the Luo God Sword in Luo Li's hand once again. At this moment, the tip of Luo Li's finger had already touched it.
Mu Chen was extremely weak as he sensed the terrifying fluctuations coming from above his head. In the end, he could only bitterly smile and sigh as he shook his head towards Luo Li. He raised his hand, intending to forcefully summon the evolving Nine Nether.
Humm!
However, just as Mu Chen was intending to forcefully summon Jiu You, he did not discover that the Nine-layered Pagoda that had been smashed apart by the Yellow Dragon Sovereign had unexpectedly erupted with dazzling rays of brilliance. Rays of brilliance interweaved together, enveloping Mu Chen within. Within the depths of those rays of brilliance, the figure of a woman seemed to slowly condense into appearance.
As that figure condensed into appearance, a gentle and sweet-tempered voice furiously resounded across the heavens and earth. That voice was exceedingly gentle. However, at this moment, it contained a sliver of fury, as well as a chill that caused the temperature of the heavens and earth to instantly drop.
"Is my child someone that a mere First Grade Sovereign like you can injure?!"
