The Great Ruler - Chapter44

Buzz!

Just as the blurry light tower faintly appeared within Mu Chen's body, a strange fluctuation suddenly swept out from within Mu Chen's body.

The fluctuation was not particularly strong, but when it reached Ji Zong, the latter's body slightly trembled and his eyes became absent-minded for a moment.

Hmph.

However, this absent-mindedness only lasted for a moment before Ji Zong recovered with a cold snort. This Mu Chen was indeed different from ordinary youths. No wonder the Liu Territory asked him to take action. However, no matter how much he struggled, the huge gap between the two of them could not be easily made up for!

Swoosh!

Ji Zong's arm shook and the longsword that was condensed from the rainwater instantly expanded. Under the violent Spiritual Energy impact, it directly shook off the two Limitless Death Seals and stabbed towards Mu Chen's shoulder like lightning.

Ding!

Ji Zong's attack was extremely sharp. It passed through the gap between the two Limitless Death Seals, causing Mu Chen to not be able to defend in time. The rainwater longsword stabbed into Mu Chen's shoulder. However, at the moment of contact, the blurry light tower within Mu Chen's body seemed to tremble for a moment. The rainwater longsword paused for a moment and the tip of the sword stabbed into Mu Chen's shoulder, causing fresh blood to seep out.

"Swoosh!"

When Ji Zong saw this scene, he faintly smiled, thinking that the situation had already been decided. He looked at the young man in front of him, only to see a pair of pitch-black eyes staring at him like a deep black hole under the drizzle. An indescribable feeling of danger suddenly enveloped Ji Zong's heart.

Swoosh!

The young man in front of him did not seem to care about the longsword that had pierced his shoulder. Even the pain did not cause his eyebrows to tremble in the slightest. Both of his palms shook as a cold glint flew out. Finally, under Ji Zong's astonished gaze, the glint flew past the handle of the umbrella that was held in his left hand.

The umbrella fell powerlessly and splashed some rainwater. Ji Zong stared blankly at this scene and then looked at the youth who suddenly retreated. There was still blood continuously flowing down from his shoulder.

"You actually noticed?"

Ji Zong's mouth moved, but his expression became much more serious. The young man in front of him had actually seen through the flaw in his formation. Furthermore, this was not the only thing that shocked Ji Zong. The latter actually had the guts to use his own body as a bait, causing Ji Zong to reveal an opening when he tried to injure Ji Zong. Ji Zong took advantage of this opening and attacked without any hesitation, cutting off the flower umbrella in Ji Zong's hand. At the same time, he also cut off the connection between Ji Zong and the formation.

"You lost."

Mu Chen grinned at Ji Zong as he spoke.

As his laughter faded, the falling spring rain had already stopped, and the surrounding air seemed to flicker with light. Then, Mu Chen began to faintly hear human voices entering his ears.

It was still the same street, but there was no trace of rain on the ground, and there was even sunlight shining down from the sky. In the distance, there were some figures appearing.

It was evident that the "God Mesmerizing Array" that had enveloped him had been broken at this moment.

Mu Chen stared in front of him. At that location, Ji Zong was looking at him with a serious expression. After a moment, he smiled and said: "What an amazing youth. I never thought that Mu Feng would have such an outstanding son."

Mu Chen also smiled, but his eyes were filled with caution and vigilance: "Do you still plan on attacking next?"

"The array has been broken, so I can't kill you. What happens next has nothing to do with me. However, you should take care of yourself."

Ji Zong smiled faintly, and then looked deeply at Mu Chen. He said those words with deep meaning, then he turned around and slowly walked away.

Mu Chen stared at Ji Zong, who was walking away, and his eyebrows were still tightly wrinkled. This was because the feeling of danger did not completely disappear. It was evident that the Liu Territory had made up their mind to not let him return to the Mu Territory smoothly.

"This Ji Zong is really useless!"

While Mu Chen was vigilantly scanning his surroundings, two cold gazes pierced through the gaps in the street and stared at the youth's figure in the distance.

"Third Uncle, what should we do next?"

Beside the middle-aged man, a handsome youth asked with a frown. That familiar appearance belonged to Liu Mubai, and the middle-aged man was Liu Ming.

"Hmph. Fortunately, I'm not completely at ease with Ji Zong. I only wanted him to be the first to test the waters. It would naturally be best if he could take care of it. If not, then we will personally take care of it!"

Liu Ming coldly snorted and said: "No matter what, we can't let Mu Chen bring that thing back to the Mu Territory. Otherwise, the plan that the Liu Territory has prepared for a long time will be disrupted!"

"However, if we were to take action now, we might attract the people from the Northern Spiritual Academy." Liu Mubai said softly.

"Then let's quickly take care of him."

A cold light flashed in Liu Ming's eyes. He waved his hand and ten figures appeared behind him. These people were filled with an ominous aura. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations were all at the Spiritual Rotation Stage Initial Phase!

"Attack!"

"Yes!"

The ten figures responded in a deep voice. Their bodies flashed and they disappeared into the darkness.

On the street, Mu Chen, who was vigilantly watching his surroundings, suddenly focused his eyes. He looked in front of him and saw ten figures suddenly rushing out. They formed a ring shape and surrounded him.

"Ten Spiritual Rotation Stage Initial Phase experts."

When Mu Chen saw the ten figures, his heart trembled. The Liu Territory's killing intent towards him was not small. Although Liu Ming and the others did not dare to personally take action because they were in the Northern Spiritual City, they still prepared a feast for him.

"I can't fight against them. I must escape!"

Mu Chen's thoughts quickly turned and he quickly retreated. No matter how arrogant he was, he would not think that he could fight against ten Spiritual Rotation Stage Initial Phase experts by himself.

Swoosh Swoosh!

However, the ten people had already rushed over. Spiritual Energy suddenly erupted and killing intent filled the air. Because of the commotion here, there was a commotion in the distance. It was obvious that the commotion here had been detected.

"Damn it!"

When Mu Chen saw how fast these guys were, he cursed in his heart. He immediately gritted his teeth and Spiritual Energy quickly surged within his body. A pitch-black light flashed between his arms. It was obvious that he was planning to fight with his life on the line. He had to delay for time.

"Swoosh!"

The ten figures quickly rushed over. They cooperated very well. As they retreated, they formed an encirclement and completely sealed off Mu Chen's escape routes. Ten sharp longswords were aimed at Mu Chen's vital points.

Mu Chen stared at the incoming attacks. The pitch-black light on his arms became denser. However, just when he was about to take a step forward and make the first move, a thunderous roar suddenly resounded: "Where did you come from? You dare to attack my Mu Territory's Young Master? You're courting death!"

Along with a clap of thunder, a light figure flew over like a bolt of lightning. In just a few breaths, it had landed before Mu Chen. With a wave of his sleeve, a majestic Spiritual Energy gushed out like a river. The ten figures instantly suffered heavy injuries as they flew back in a sorry state.

"Uncle Zhou!"

Mu Chen looked at the familiar figure in front of him and his face suddenly lit up with joy. They had finally arrived.

The skinny middle-aged man in front of Mu Chen was Mu Territory's Zhou Ye. At this moment, his eyes were as sharp as an eagle as he stared at the ten figures that were blown away. However, he did not chase after them. Instead, he stayed beside Mu Chen and protected him.

"Kill them for me!"

Zhou Ye coldly stared at the ten figures and immediately let out a cold roar. Not far away, there was an explosive roar. Dozens of figures quickly rushed over and charged towards the ten figures.

When the ten figures saw this, they gritted their teeth and waved their sleeves. Smoke rose up and their figures quickly retreated under the cover of the smoke.

"Bastard!"

Somewhere on the street, Liu Ming stared at Zhou Ye, who had suddenly led a group of people over. He instantly flew into a rage and his face turned ashen. He never thought that at this crucial moment, Zhou Ye would mess things up!

"Third Uncle?" Liu Mubai frowned. He never thought that his successive plans would go awry.

"Return to the Liu Territory and tell your father about this matter. I want to see just how much courage Mu Feng has to dare to interfere with our Liu Territory's plans!"

Liu Ming said sinisterly. He immediately waved his hand and turned around to leave.

When Liu Mubai saw this, he could only sigh helplessly. Through the gap, he stared at Mu Chen, who was being protected by the Mu Territory's men. A hint of coldness flashed through his eyes. Lucky boy, you're lucky this time. If there's a next time, I'm afraid that I won't give you this chance again!
