As Mu Chen and his group neared the battlefield, they slowly came to a stop. Looking at the youth, whose face had drastically changed due to their appearance, a smile brimming with chilling intent appeared on his face as he said, "Qiu Beihai, we meet again. What a coincidence!" Staring coldly at Mu Chen and Luo Li, Qiu Beihai spoke out in a dark voice after a long while, "Mu Chen, I truly never imagined that you'd actually be able to enter the Five Great Academies after being kicked out of the Spiritual Road. You're truly formidable."
"However …"
A sneer suddenly surfaced at the corner of Qiu Beihai's mouth as he looked at Mu Chen with an amused expression. "However, you seem to have fallen behind. Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. Haha, you still dare to participate in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament? Aren't you afraid that the renowned Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road will attract a calamity to you?"
"As of now, Ji Xuan has already far surpassed you. If you meet him again, tsk tsk …"
After clearly seeing Mu Chen's current strength, the shock and astonishment present within Qiu Beihai's heart had already started to gradually dissipate, replaced by a feeling of elation. Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase?
Haha, the Blood Calamity that had caused him to feel extreme danger in the Spiritual Road had now fallen to such a degree.
Luo Li's beautiful eyes turned frosty as she said, "Qiu Beihai, looks like you don't want those remaining fingers of yours anymore."
Qiu Beihai's face instantly changed as he clenched his teeth and stared coldly at Luo Li. Clenching his fists tightly, each of them had a finger cut off. This was the result of him being killed by Luo Li in the Spiritual Road. This had always been a pain in his heart. However, he still felt some fear and dread towards Luo Li. From his senses, the current Luo Li had clearly passed her Human Body Disaster, and her strength wasn't any weaker than his own.
Qiu Beihai suppressed the anger in his heart, sneered and said, "I heard that your Hokuang Reiwon only has two teams this time?
Haha, looks like the title of the Five Great Academies will be removed from your Hokuang Reiwon's head after this Great Spiritual Academy Tournament. Right now, I can't be bothered to deal with you guys. Bring your men and scram. Mu Chen, if I were you, I'd be smart enough to find a place to hide. Otherwise, when you meet Ji Xuan, you'll be beaten black and blue all over. At that time, you'll lose all your face to the Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road. "
"What did you say?!" Xu Huang and the others shouted angrily as their expressions changed.
"Do you not understand what I'm saying?"
Qiu Beihai sneered. Soon after, with a wave of his hand, the four group members behind him converged together. One of them, a young man, slowly walked forward, standing side by side with him, while looking at Mu Chen and the rest with ridicule in his eyes.
"A team with only one person at the level of Human Body Disaster. Haha, as expected, Hokuang Reiwon can't do it."
The young man, who appeared to be slightly older than Qiu Beihai, crossed his arms across his chest and gave a ridiculing laugh. In the next instant, boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated from his body. His strength was unexpectedly the same as Qiu Beihai, having reached the level of Human Body Disaster.
Within their group, there were two people who had reached the level of Human Body Disaster, while the other three were at the Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. From the looks of it, their lineup seemed to be slightly stronger than that of Mu Chen's group.
Furthermore, the most important factor was that they still had three allied groups. Although the strength of those three groups couldn't compare to theirs, every single one of them had a person at the level of Human Body Disaster. Although they would need to share some manpower to deal with the Desolation Spiritual Academy's group, the remaining manpower would absolutely be more than enough to take care of the Hokuang Reiwon group before them.
They didn't believe that the Hokuang Reiwon group before them would dare to have the slightest bit of disloyalty towards them under the suppression of such a lineup.
At the back, the three groups surrounding the Desolation Spiritual Academy had also sensed the confrontation over here, causing one of them to immediately break away from their encirclement. The Captain of that group had a face brimming with a faint smile as he sized up Mu Chen's group. In the next instant, his gaze could not help turning around and around Luo Li's lovable figure. With a grin, he gave a whistle and said, "I truly never imagined that Hokuang Reiwon would actually have such a beautiful girl. You really can't find such a quality in our Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy!"
"Haha. Brother Beihai, do you need any help?"
Looking towards Qiu Beihai, he asked with a grin. At the same time, Spiritual Energy fluctuations radiated from his body. Unexpectedly, he was another expert that had passed his Human Body Disaster.
The two groups stood in front of Mu Chen's group, appearing akin to two ferocious tigers eyeing them covetously.
Seeing this, the faces of Xu Huang and the rest slightly changed. If it was a one-on-one fight, they wouldn't be afraid of the group from the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy. However, now that the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy had arrived, although the other party only had one expert that had passed his Human Body Disaster, it was more than enough to change the situation.
"A little trouble."
Said Qiu Beihai with a smile, before looking towards Mu Chen with a complacent gaze. This opponent that had once caused him to feel an extreme amount of pressure was now being completely suppressed by him. Thinking about it, it was truly lamentable.
"Mu Chen, I advise you to be sensible and leave. I don't have the mood to deal with you now. Don't ask for trouble," said Qiu Beihai in an indifferent tone as he waved his hand.
Seeing the indifferent appearance of Qiu Beihai, who appeared to have the situation under his control, Mu Chen could not help but smile. Turning his head to look towards Luo Li, he asked with a smile, "How do we split it?"
"Leave the group from the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy to me," said Luo Li with a faint smile.
"The whole group?" asked Mu Chen as his eyebrows slightly twitched.
"You don't believe me?"
Shooting a glance towards Mu Chen with her beautiful eyes, Luo Li raised the Luo God Sword in her hand and said with a grin, "If we really fight, you might not be able to defeat me."
With a smile, Mu Chen nodded his head and said, "Leave the two Human Body Disaster fellows from the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy to me. As for the other three, you guys, Xu Huang, will deal with them. That won't be a problem, right?"
After all, they were a group. They couldn't let Xu Huang and the rest watch from the side every single time.
"No problem!"
Xu Huang and the rest nodded their heads without the slightest hesitation. Other than Qiu Beihai and the other expert that had passed his Human Body Disaster, the rest of the people in the group from the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy were at Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase, with strength similar to theirs. Naturally, they wouldn't fear them.
"Mu Chen, don't be unappreciative of our kindness!"
Seeing that Mu Chen had actually completely ignored him, and had assigned them to their group with just a few words, Qiu Beihai's face instantly turned slightly ashen as he spoke out in a chilling voice.
"Haha. What an arrogant little girl. She wants to deal with our entire group by herself?"
Said the Captain from the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy with a fake smile on his face as he looked towards Luo Li. Although the latter had also passed her Human Body Disaster, wanting to deal with their entire group by himself was a little too whimsical.
In the sky, there were still many groups looking towards the commotion happening in this area. Upon seeing that the group from Hokuang Reiwon was actually intending to take on the two of them by themselves, all of them felt somewhat astonished. Within the group from Hokuang Reiwon, there was only a single person that had passed his Human Body Disaster. With such a lineup, they actually dared to provoke the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy and the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy?
Behind them, the two groups that were encircling and suppressing the Desolation Spiritual Academy had also sensed this, causing their attacks to slightly slow down. Being able to squeeze into the Top 16 and persevere for a day, the strength of the group from the Desolation Spiritual Academy was indeed rather tyrannical. Previously, with the encirclement of the three groups, with the presence of the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy, they were able to completely suppress the Desolation Spiritual Academy. However, from the looks of it, with the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy and the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy retreating, the two groups from the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy could only barely suppress the Desolation Spiritual Academy. It would be difficult for them to pose too much of a threat to the group from the Desolation Spiritual Academy like before.
Sensing this situation, the group from the Desolation Spiritual Academy quietly breathed a sigh of relief. If things were to continue like this, they might not be able to persevere for long.
The Captain of the group from the Desolation Spiritual Academy was a youth with a somewhat sturdy build. Looking towards the standoff between the group from Hokuang Reiwon and the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy and the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy, a faint glint flashed across his eyes. At this moment, the situation they were in was extremely bad. If they were to allow the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy and the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy to take action, the consequences might be dire for them. However, at this moment, they did not have any other choice, and could only hope that the group from Hokuang Reiwon would be able to truly obstruct the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy and the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy. Only then would they have the chance to do so.
Looking towards the somewhat ashen faced Qiu Beihai, Mu Chen smiled and shook his head. Slowly walking forward, he bent his hand towards the latter, while the smile at the corner of his mouth gradually turned cold and fierce.
"Qiu Beihai, I've never taken a good look at you in the Spiritual Road. It's the same here."
"In my eyes, you still don't have the qualifications to jump around in front of me."
Green veins popped out on Qiu Beihai's face, while his gaze slowly turned malevolent. In the next instant, with a malevolent laugh, he said, "Good! Let me see exactly who doesn't have the qualifications to jump around today!"
Bang!
Qiu Beihai's clothes fluttered as boundless Spiritual Energy swept out. In the next instant, a sinister look appeared in his eyes as he roared, "Kill them!"
Bang!
As his roar rang out, he had already shot out explosively. Clenching his hand tightly, a scarlet-red longsword surfaced, while a fierce and fierce Sword Aura rushed towards the skies.
Behind him, the other Human Body Disaster experts from the Azure Heavens Spiritual Academy also shot out with chilling expressions. One on the left and one on the right, they rushed straight towards Mu Chen like hawks.
"Come, little girl. Let me see how you're going to deal with our group by yourself!" sneered the Captain from the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy as he shot a vicious glare towards Luo Li.
Whoosh!
Replying to him was a fierce and fierce Sword Aura akin to a silver river. The Sword Aura tore through the skies, its chilling coldness instantly causing his expression to change. With a clench of his hand, a black metal shield sparkling with spiritual light appeared before him.
Ding!
As the Sword Aura violently stabbed against the metal shield, rays of brilliance sparkled as a deep scar surfaced.
Upon seeing the deep scars on the surface of the metal shield, the corner of the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy's Captain's eyes twitched. However, before he could regain his senses, a beautiful figure had already shot towards him in a spectre like fashion. As a sword shadow shot out, it heavily struck against the metal shield.
Puff!
Under the sword image, the Spiritual Artifact that possessed powerful defensive capabilities was as frail as tofu. As the sword image shot out, it had unexpectedly pierced right through it. The tip of the sword stopped an inch or so away from the head of the Captain from the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy, while the Sword Aura caused a sliver of blood to seep out from the centre of his forehead.
Finally, his expression violently contorted as horror flashed within his eyes, before he furiously roared, "Take action!"
Behind him, the group from the Great Cauldron Spiritual Academy explosively shot out, boundless attacks enveloping the beautiful figure.
In the sky, an even more intense fight instantly erupted!
