"I do not have the right to stay here."
When these words left Xia Hou's mouth, the entire area suddenly became silent. The eyes of many groups twitched slightly. No one had expected that the seemingly calm Xia Hou would be so sharp the moment he spoke. In fact, he didn't even give the slightest bit of face at all.
These words were tantamount to shedding all pretense of cordiality.
Some masters looked at each other. It seemed that Xia Hou was also fighting back against Tang Mei 'er's alliance with the Wu Ling Academy and Hokuang Reiwon. After all, in the previous situation, the Top Three Academies had obviously suppressed their momentum. In this situation, if Xia Hou did not take some measures, it would inevitably weaken the reputation of the Holy Spirit House. Therefore, he had to take action.
Furthermore, both Tang Mei'er and Zhou Yuan were rather formidable. Although their strength was inferior to his, they had after all touched the Spiritual Energy Disaster. Although they had failed, their strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Human Body Disaster expert. If the two of them were to join forces, they would be able to pose some obstruction to him.
Compared to Tang Mei 'er and Zhou Yuan, Mu Chen didn't seem to have any advantage at all. With the strength of the Reaching Heaven Late Stage, he wasn't even qualified to join their team. Therefore, among the three of them, Mu Chen was obviously the best candidate to make an example out of them.
Mu Chen's handsome face remained calm. He didn't show the slightest bit of anger because of Xia Hou's words. Instead, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"Hehe, Captain Xia Hou, you really found a good target to make an example out of." Tang Mei 'er laughed. There was a hint of sarcasm in her laughter.
With her intelligence, how could she not see through Xia Hou's plan? Although she did not have any friendship with Hokuang Reiwon, it was because of the relationship between Mu Chen and Tang Qian'er.
She couldn't just watch as Xia Hou made a move on him.
Hearing that, a faint smile appeared on Xia Hou's face. Turning his gaze towards Mu Chen, he said, "When has the dignity of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy ever needed the all-female Myriad Phoenix Spiritual Academy to protect it?"
The mouths of the surrounding teams twitched. This Xia Hou was indeed unkind.
"Captain Xia Hou, you've misunderstood.
This is just a manifestation of our good relations, "Mu Chen said with a smile." But I also have something to say to Captain Xia Hou. "
He stared at Xia Hou, a cold glint slowly gathering in his black eyes. "I feel that you don't have the right to say that."
The hearts of many teams trembled.
Even Tang Mei 'er and Zhou Yuan looked at Mu Chen in surprise. They clearly did not expect him to oppose Xia Hou in such a manner. However, this also made them frown slightly. Although they did not like the arrogance of the Holy Spirit House, they were still extremely fearful of them.
Hence, they held back their words to avoid falling out. However, Mu Chen's actions seemed a little too reckless.
Hence, they held back their words to avoid falling out. However, Mu Chen's actions seemed a little too reckless.
After all, the difference in strength between them and Xia Hou was too great. If they angered Xia Hou, they would likely pay a heavy price today.
Xu Huang and the rest puffed out their chests because of Mu Chen's words.
They fiercely glared at Xia Hou's group, although they understood how tyrannical the other party was.
However, they also had Mu Chen and Luo Li on their side. The combat prowess of the two was absolutely off the charts. Furthermore, they had a deep understanding of Mu Chen, and knew that the latter would not do anything rash. Since he had no intentions of giving Xia Hou's group any face, he clearly had the ability to deal with the other party's wrath.
Xia Hou indifferently looked towards Mu Chen. After a long while, a ridiculing smile curled at the corner of his mouth. Without saying another word, he gently waved his hand.
Behind him, two youths with frosty expressions slowly walked out, with boundless Spiritual Energy rippling out from their bodies. The two of them possessed the strength to pass their Human Body Disaster. If they were placed in other groups, they would be captain-level figures. However, within the group of the Holy Spirit House, they could only be ordinary members.
The two of them coldly looked towards Mu Chen's group. Similarly, without saying a single word, with a move, Spiritual Energy rippled out from their bodies. Transforming into two rays of light, two long blades appeared in their hands as they chopped out.
Bang!
Two hundred-metre long blade glints swept out, causing even the air to be ripped apart. Two bottomless blade scars appeared on the ground below. The two of them had unleashed ruthless moves right from the get-go, clearly intending to teach Mu Chen's group a good lesson.
Both of Mu Chen's hands hung down slightly, not a single ripple could be seen within his eyes as he looked towards the blade glints shooting towards him. The Spiritual Energy around his body was still calm and tranquil, with not the slightest intention of evading or defending.
Whoosh!
The blade glints arrived in an instant. However, just as they were a metre away from Mu Chen's body, Luo Li took a gentle step forward. Brandishing the Luo God Sword in her hand, it created a sword flower. Akin to a barrier, it blocked before her, allowing the two blade glints to violently chop towards her.
Bang!
As the blade glints and sword auras swept out, everyone's gazes furiously narrowed. Even the faces of the two Human Body Disaster experts from the Holy Spirit House slightly changed.
Standing before Mu Chen, Luo Li held onto her sword, her lovable figure not moving a single inch. Unexpectedly, the combined attack from the two of them didn't cause the slightest bit of harm to her.
"Oh? Pretty formidable."
Tang Mei 'er's beautiful eyes lit up. No wonder why Mu Chen was able to remain so calm. So it turns out that there's a formidable figure within their group. With such strength, she might not be any weaker than them.
However, if she's that formidable, why would the Captain let Mu Chen be the one?
"Courtesy demands reciprocity."
A faint chilling intent flashed across Luo Li's clear and limpid eyes. In the next instant, her lovable figure abruptly shot out, her slender jade-like fingers tightly gripping onto the hilt of her sword as she sent a slash out.
This slash didn't have any gaudy stance. However, the Sword Aura radiating from it was swift and fierce to the extreme. Akin to a silver river streaking across the horizon, even the sky was sliced into two. At lightning speed, the ray of Sword Aura shot straight towards the two Human Body Disaster experts from the Holy Spirit House.
This slash caused the faces of the two to greatly change. Not daring to show the slightest bit of neglect, the Spiritual Energy within their bodies erupted without the slightest bit of restraint. Tightly clenching onto their long blades, they furiously chopped down.
"Sea Splitting Divine Blade!"
"Mountain Splitting Blade!"
An explosive roar rang out as two blade glints rose akin to scorching suns. The dazzling brilliance caused quite a few people to narrow their eyes.
Bang!
The ray of Sword Aura shot out like lightning, chopping against the two blade glints without the slightest hesitation. In an instant, a clear metallic sound resounded across the horizon.
An astonishing storm wreaked havoc as it swept out.
Very quickly, the sky regained its clarity. Everyone's gazes were directed over, just in time to see the longsword in the young girl's hand slowly being sheathed, concealing the exceedingly swift and fierce sword glints. Opposite her, the faces of the two Human Body Disaster experts turned ashen, with palpitations appearing within their eyes.
Dumbfoundedly looking at the long blades in their hands, they noticed that a smooth mark had unexpectedly appeared on the two long blades that were seemingly comparable to High Grade Spiritual Artifacts, before being sliced into two.
Under a single slash, the two of them had suffered a crushing defeat, with even the Spiritual Blades in their hands being shattered.
The countless spectating groups in the surroundings were dumbfounded. Looking at the graceful and slender figure of the young girl, they were completely unable to associate her beautiful appearance with the fierceness and fierceness she had displayed in her earlier attacks.
"Formidable."
Tang Mei'er and Zhou Yuan simultaneously exclaimed in admiration. With Luo Li's strength, even if he had yet to reach Spiritual Energy Disaster, he wasn't far from it. They never imagined that such a formidable newcomer would appear in Hokuang Reiwon, truly astonishing.
Xia Hou's indifferent expression finally turned slightly dark at this moment. He never imagined that the beautiful young girl standing behind Mu Chen would actually possess such strength. That's why Mu Chen dared to provoke them. So it turns out that he had such a trump card up his sleeves?
"Hokuang Reiwon's truly a good move. Hiding the strongest person in one corner, pushing a useless fellow out to block their line of sight, and then obtaining an unexpected result?"
Waving his hand, Xia Hou signaled for his two group members to retreat, before coldly staring at Luo Li. At this moment, faint rays of brilliance started to condense on his jade-white palms. This time, he had lost quite a bit of face. Therefore, he had to personally take action.
"However, I'd like to experience exactly how capable your Hokuang Reiwon is!"
With a frosty gaze, Xia Hou took a step forward, causing frightening Spiritual Energy pressure to sweep out from his body like a storm, causing even the heavens and earth to change in colour. The degree of density of the Spiritual Energy radiating from him had far exceeded those experts that had passed their Human Body Disaster.
Spiritual Energy Disaster was a transformation that originated from one's Spiritual Energy. After passing through this Disaster, the degree of density of one's Spiritual Energy would far exceed that of a Human Body Disaster.
Whoosh!
Shooting out like a spectre, Xia Hou appeared in the air right before Luo Li in a flash. Curling his fingers into the shape of a claw, the tip of his fingers sparkled with a jade-like luster, while an exceedingly sharp sensation radiated from his fingertips.
"Star Plucking Jade Hand!"
With a low roar, Xia Hou's jade-white palm appeared to pierce through space, violently clawing towards Luo Li at an indescribable speed.
However, faced against his attack, not a single trace of panic was present within Luo Li's glass-like eyes. In fact, even the jade-like hand that was tightly gripping onto her longsword had slightly relaxed.
Sensing Luo Li's entire body relaxing, a frown appeared on Xia Hou's forehead. Clearly, he was somewhat puzzled by the actions of his opponent. However, since he had already unleashed his attack, he didn't believe that the young girl before him would really dare to take on his attack head-on.
Whoosh!
Just as Xia Hou's attack was about to land on Luo Li, the corner of his eyes suddenly twitched. In the next instant, an ear-piercing sound akin to rushing thunder rang out, while a frightening gale instantly enveloped him.
Sensing the fierceness of the gale, Xia Hou's face faintly changed. Halting his palm, he sent a backhand slap out, smashing head-on against the fierce gale.
Bang!
As the jade-white palm and the gale collided, Xia Hou saw a black longspear that seemed to be sparkling with lightning arcs. Standing behind the longspear was a youth that sent a faint smile towards him, one that was brimming with endless chilling intent.
That's Mu Chen?!
Xia Hou's pupils abruptly contracted.
(I'm late by an hour. Sorry) (To be continued …)
