This was an exceedingly majestic hall. Within the hall, there were gigantic pillars that were a few hundred feet tall, akin to pillars that supported the heavens. Green vines climbed up the pillars, and the entire hall was constructed with gigantic wood. Faint rays of brilliance sparkled on the surface of the gigantic wood, causing the hall to appear incomparably sturdy.
Due to the fact that the hall was exceedingly majestic, people within it appeared akin to ants, causing people to feel tiny and insignificant. Therefore, although there were dozens of teams gathered within the hall, it still appeared incomparably spacious and spacious.
Bang!
Within the spacious and spacious area, two powerful teams were already engaged in an intense confrontation.
The strength of these two teams could be considered to be at the pinnacle of this place. Therefore, when they crossed hands, the other teams did not dare to interfere in the slightest. Furthermore, they were more than happy to see such a confrontation between the two powerhouses. After all, that way, they would have more opportunities.
Boom!
Exceedingly violent Spiritual Energy swept out like tidal waves, with two figures intertwining with one another at the origin of the Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
One of them was precisely Tang Mei 'er. At this moment, her originally bewitching face had already turned as cold as ice. Boundless Spiritual Energy rippled around her, causing the sound of ocean waves to ring out. The Spiritual Energy fluctuations caused the air to be compressed to the point of creaking sounds.
Standing before Tang Mei 'er was Xia Hou, with a faint smile on his face. With a hand behind his back, even when facing against Tang Mei' er's swift and fierce attacks, he still appeared to be rather composed.
"Haha, Captain Tang Mei 'er.
Why the need to be so overbearing? At this moment, it's not wise for you guys to fight in such a manner. "
That's not exactly rational, "replied Xia Hou with a faint smile towards Tang Mei 'er.
Looking at him with a frosty gaze, Tang Mei 'er sneered, "Xia Hou, weren't you very formidable in the past?
Have a good fight with me now. Even if I can't defeat you, I won't let you guys gain the slightest bit of advantage.
At that time, I'd like to see how you're going to compete with the other teams for the relics' treasures. "
Tang Mei'er knew that Xia Hou was stronger than her.
If they were to fight, she definitely wouldn't be able to defeat him. However, she didn't have any thoughts of defeating him. What she wanted to do was …
It was to consume Xia Hou's energy.
She would rather return empty-handed from this trip to the ruins than let Xia Hou and the others have a good time.
When a woman was angry, she would not talk about gains and losses, as well as rationality.
When Xia Hou heard this, his eyes turned a little cold. He did not expect Tang Mei'er to be so angry. She did not think of anything else and only wanted to exhaust him. He could not help but feel a little regretful. If he had known this would happen, he would not have attacked her so easily.
This girl looked enchanting and moving, but who would have thought that she would get angry.
She was completely relying on her temper.
However, Xia Hou was, after all, not an indecisive person. This bit of regret was quickly extinguished by him. Glaring coldly at Tang Mei 'er, he said, "Captain Tang Mei' er, although I've taken a step back time and time again, I'd like to advise you to appreciate my kindness.
"Hehe, why don't you come and urge me to do it?"
Tang Mei'er chuckled. There was a blade hidden in her smile. She clenched her jade-like hand and a scarlet long whip appeared in her hand. The long whip was filled with scorching Spiritual Energy fluctuations. Clearly, it was a powerful Spiritual Artifact.
Pa!
Tang Mei'er's jade-like hand trembled. The long whip turned into a scarlet light and tore through the air at lightning speed. Like an enraged python, it heavily smashed towards Xia Hou's head.
"Hmph!"
Seeing how overbearing Tang Mei'er was, a smear of fury flashed within Xia Hou's eyes. A sparkling and translucent lustre sparkled on his slender jade-like hand. Extending his hand out, he appeared to have broken through space, grabbing the scarlet light in his hand. Taking a step forward, vigorous Spiritual Energy rippled behind him like an ocean. Astonishing Spiritual Energy pressure radiated out, causing the faces of the various groups present in the great hall to slightly change.
The degree of Spiritual Energy possessed by people who had passed through their Spiritual Energy Disaster would far surpass that of Human Body Disaster!
Grabbing onto the scarlet long whip, Xia Hou gave a tap of his foot, appearing right before Tang Mei'er at a speed akin to a spectre. In the next instant, he sent a palm patting out.
At this moment, a chilling lustre sparkled on his jade-like hand as killing intent radiated from it.
A solemn expression flashed within Tang Mei 'er's beautiful eyes as Spiritual Energy erupted from her body without the slightest bit of restraint. Patterns seemed to surface on her jade-like palm, before a gigantic Spiritual Energy flower petal condensed beneath her palm.
"Flower Annihilation Palm!"
Bang!
As the two palms collided head-on, erratic Spiritual Energy wreaked havoc like a hurricane. A jolt shook through Tang Mei'er's lovable figure, while a smear of blood surfaced from the corner of her rosy lips. At this moment, her body was sent flying back. Although she had experienced one Spiritual Energy Disaster, she had failed in the end. Therefore, in terms of the degree of Spiritual Energy, she was utterly unable to match up to Xia Hou.
As Tang Mei'er's lovable figure was sent flying back, a chilling glint flashed within Xia Hou's eyes. Unexpectedly, without the slightest bit of tenderness and protective feelings for the fairer sex, he took a step forward and gave chase, sending a palm patting towards Tang Mei'er's voluptuous chest.
Clenching her teeth, Tang Mei'er was about to fight against that fellow once again. However, just as she was about to activate her Spiritual Energy, an overbearing and hurried whooshing through the air abruptly rang out from her rear. In the next instant, an incomparably swift and fierce spear shadow shot straight towards Xia Hou's throat.
Hearing that, Xia Hou's gaze darkened. With a change of his palm, he patted against the spear shadow, sending it flying back. In the next instant, his figure retreated back, while his gaze darkened as he looked towards the front.
From there, a slender figure shot over. Extending an arm, he wrapped it around Tang Mei'er's slender waist, helping her dissipate the force behind her attack. Giving a faint smile, he said, "Captain Xia Hou, it's better for you to show some tenderness and protective feelings for such a beautiful girl."
"Mu Chen!"
Looking coldly at the person who had interfered, killing intent flashed within Xia Hou's eyes.
"Big Sister Mei'er, are you alright?"
Lowering his head, Mu Chen looked towards the lovable girl in his embrace. At this moment, the latter had already wiped away the bloodstains at the corner of her mouth. Slightly raising her rosy lips, which appeared even more vibrant and sexy, she said with a smile, "Mu Chen, compared to that fellow, you're truly more pleasing to this big sister's eyes!"
Mu Chen was speechless. At this moment, she still had the mood to tease him!
Shooting over, the four lovable girls landed by Mu Chen's side. Only after seeing that Tang Mei'er didn't suffer any serious injuries did they breathe a sigh of relief.
Propping her jade-like hands on Mu Chen's chest, Tang Mei'er pushed her voluptuous body away a little. Clenching her teeth, she spoke out in a somewhat unwilling tone, "That fellow's formidable indeed."
Indeed, a cultivation of Spiritual Energy Disaster was extremely hard to deal with.
Nodding his head, Mu Chen took a step back and released her. Behind him, Luo Li, Xu Huang and the rest had also rapidly followed over, before looking towards Xia Hou, who was not far away from them, with unfriendly gazes.
Shooting a look at Xia Hou, Mu Chen shifted his gaze away and started to size up the giant hall. Within the giant hall, giant wooden pillars that were akin to propping up the heavens stood erect, supporting the entire giant hall. Compared to those giant wooden pillars, they appeared exceedingly small and insignificant.
At this moment, there were already dozens of groups gathered within the giant hall. The majority of these groups possessed pretty decent strength. After all, being able to pass through numerous rounds of elimination to reach this place, they definitely possessed some ability.
"This should be the main hall of the ruins."
Standing by the side, Tang Mei'er spoke out in a soft voice, "Look straight ahead of you."
Hearing her words, Mu Chen raised his head, only to see a statue roughly a hundred feet in size standing at the end of the giant hall. The statue was emerald-green in colour, and its appearance wasn't much different from the green wooden statue that Mu Chen and his group had previously encountered. However, the size of the two clearly weren't on the same level. At this moment, the body of the giant wooden statue seemed to be covered in a dark-green armour. Innumerable ancient runes covered the surface of the armour, sparkling with a dark lustre.
It seemed to be a suit of wooden armour.
Other than that, the dark-green statue seemed to be holding a wooden tablet in its hand. Complicated inscriptions were carved on the wooden tablet, appearing incomparably profound, yet giving off a mysterious feeling.
"The armour on the statue should be a Spiritual Artifact, and it's very likely to be a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact," Tang Mei'er said in a low voice.
"Oh?"
Hearing those words, Mu Chen's expression changed. He was extremely clear about the might possessed by a Peerless Rank Spiritual Artifact. It was more than enough to raise a person's strength to a whole new level. Furthermore, the item before his eyes was a defensive type. If he was able to obtain it, anyone who wore it would have a higher resistance than people who had passed their Human Body Disaster.
"Furthermore, the runes carved on the wooden tablet are very likely to be a Divine Art."
"Divine Art?"
Mu Chen's eyelids twitched for a moment. He naturally knew what a Divine Art was. He possessed a Divine Art known as the "Lightning Controlling Art", which had been given to him by the Northern Sea Dragon. However, ever since he had obtained it, Mu Chen had yet to use it. However, a Divine Art was something that even Sovereign realm experts would be tempted by, let alone them.
"Looks like this should be the central area of the ruins."
Mu Chen muttered to himself in his heart. Sweeping his gaze around, he discovered that other than Xia Hou's group, the group from the Wu Ling Courtyard was also present. However, at this moment, Zhou Yuan's gaze was crazily sizing up those unfamiliar groups, in an attempt to find the mysterious group that had previously taken action against them.
Amongst the groups present, the only one that could pose a threat to them was Xia Hou.
Mu Chen licked his lips as he exchanged glances with Tang Mei'er, before nodding his head lightly.
Tang Mei'er smiled charmingly, before turning her knife-like gaze towards Xia Hou.
Noticing her gaze, Xia Hou's eyes abruptly turned cold. That's because he saw Mu Chen giving a gentle hand signal. In the next instant, the people from the two groups fanned out, their gazes locked onto the bodies of Xia Hou's group.
Evidently, Mu Chen and Tang Mei'er had joined forces.
In the great hall, the dozens of groups were shocked when they saw this scene. Hokuang Reiwon's group had actually joined forces with Wanhuang Lingyuan to deal with the Holy Spirit House?
Looks like there's going to be a good show to watch. However, they didn't know if their combined forces would be able to take down Xia Hou's extremely difficult group.
