Within the forest that was shrouded in shadows, figures surged out from the darkness like a swarm of locusts. Ferocious gazes locked onto the three figures before them.

Looking at the formation before him, Mu Chen slightly knitted his brows. He never imagined that he would be discovered by Qin Feng and the rest so quickly.
Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan approached Mu Chen as they coldly looked at Qin Feng. Although the other party had the advantage in numbers, it wouldn't be an easy task for them to take them down.
"Haha, Mu Chen, there's a path in the sky that you don't want to take. There's no door in the ground that you want to barge in." Qin Feng ridiculed as he looked at Mu Chen.
"You really think highly of yourself." Mu Chen smiled. Looking at the dense crowd around him, he said, "What's the matter?
Do you think that you're very confident because you can't use Spiritual Energy in this region? "
"You're still being stubborn at this time."
Qin Feng frowned his brows and said, "Don't you think that you should show a little bit of worry at this time?"
Mu Chen seriously pondered for a while before replying, "You don't have the qualifications."
Qin Feng smiled as he lightly nodded his head. With a gentle wave of his hand, his voice turned extremely cold as he said, "Get rid of them."
Boom!
His voice had just sounded out when the hundred figures around him immediately responded in unison. A faint glow surfaced on the surface of their bodies, while a faint luster flickered on their skin. At a glance, they appeared as though they were made of metal, while emitting a powerful aura. Their feet heavily stomped on the ground, before their bodies shot forward explosively.
That kind of aura that was formed from the convergence of numbers gave off the feeling of tens of thousands of galloping horses. It was rather oppressive.
At this moment, Mu Chen's eyes turned cold as he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. Black lightning flickered on the surface of his body as he fiercely stomped his foot on the ground, causing cracks to swiftly spread out from beneath his feet. Even if Mu Chen was unable to use Spiritual Energy, the strength of his physical body wasn't something that an ordinary person could contend against.
Xiu!
His figure turned into a blurry shadow as he dashed out and crashed into the crowd that was charging over.
Bang!
Mu Chen's fist rumbled towards the front as boundless fist winds tore through the air. Like an air cannon, it heavily smashed against the figures at the front.
A low and deep sound rang out as those figures' chests seemed to have caved in slightly. Fresh blood spurted out from their mouths as their bodies were instantly blown away, instantly losing all of their fighting strength.
Bang!
Bang!
Without any expression on his face, Mu Chen's fists and legs whistled as black lightning coiled around them. His fists contained a rather frightening amount of power. Every time he rumbled out, there would be people flying back with blood spurting out from their mouths. At this moment, he was akin to a ferocious tiger covered in steel, unparalleled wherever he went.
Although there were many figures surrounding Mu Chen, not a single one of them was able to get within a few feet of him.
Although those people had also cultivated in Body Refinement Divine Arts, they were clearly nothing compared to the strength of Mu Chen's physical body.
Not far behind him, radiance also surged from the bodies of Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan. Their skin seemed to have turned even more sparkling and translucent, appearing just like jade. Although Luo Li was unable to use her Spiritual Energy to activate the Luo God Sword, the sharpness of the Luo God Sword still made it so that no one dared to approach within a few feet of her.
As for Wen Qingxuan, she tightly gripped her golden war spear. As the spear flickered, it drew tricky and ruthless arcs. Anyone that dared to approach her would have their bodies pierced by her without the slightest bit of mercy, leaving bloody holes on their bodies.
Within the forest that was shrouded in shadows, miserable howls constantly rang out. The sounds of fists hitting flesh caused one's heart to palpitate with fear.
Standing outside the circle of battle, Qin Feng looked at the three of them, who did not show any signs of falling into a disadvantageous position despite being surrounded by over a hundred people. His gaze remained indifferent, seemingly not minding the fact that his group was swiftly defeated by Mu Chen's group of three.
"Truly formidable."
After observing the battle for a long while, a faint smile finally appeared on his face. His line of sight wasn't directed towards the invincible Mu Chen, but towards Wen Qingxuan. A smear of blazing heat flashed within his eyes as he muttered, "If I can defeat this person, who was once the Numero Uno on the point rankings, perhaps my name will spread throughout the entire Great Spiritual Academy Tournament, right?"
Amongst the three before him, the one that made Qin Feng feel the most fearful would be Wen Qingxuan. Some time ago, the group that she led had practically firmly occupied the Numero Uno position. Regardless of how the other monstrous groups chased after them, it was hard for them to surpass them.
Therefore, everyone was extremely clear that Wen Qingxuan definitely possessed extremely frightening strength. If they were outside, even if Qin Feng was given another layer of courage, he wouldn't dare to take action against Wen Qingxuan. However, the current situation was different. In this region, Spiritual Energy couldn't be used. Thus, ninety percent of Wen Qingxuan's strength had been restricted. At this moment, she was practically at her weakest.
Thinking that the former Numero Uno would be defeated by his hands, the blazing heat in Qin Feng's eyes grew even denser.
Slowly taking a step forward, the tip of his foot pushed off the ground. Like a great roc, his figure swept past the numerous figures, and directly appeared in the air above Wen Qingxuan. In the end, a palm ferociously swatted downwards, while the fist winds were astonishing.
"Hmph."
Seeing this, Wen Qingxuan coldly snorted. With a jerk of her jade-like hand, her golden warspear drew a streak of light as it shot towards Qin Feng at lightning speed.
"Haha."
Seeing Wen Qingxuan's actions, a strange smile involuntarily rose from the corner of Qin Feng's mouth. In the next instant, his palm turned into a finger. Curling two of his fingers, boundless Spiritual Energy unexpectedly erupted out like a tidal wave.
This Qin Feng was actually able to use Spiritual Energy in this place!
At this moment, the lovable face of Wen Qingxuan drastically changed.
Ding!
A metallic sound rang out. The finger winds that were filled with boundless Spiritual Energy from Qin Feng had forcefully blocked the tip of Wen Qingxuan's spear. Furthermore, the frightening gales caused Wen Qingxuan to hurriedly retreat a dozen steps. At this moment, a faint shade of paleness surfaced on her absolutely beautiful face.
"Haha. Now, do you guys know where my confidence comes from?
That's because I can also use Spiritual Energy in this place. As of now, in my eyes, what are the likes of you? "
Facing the sky, Qin Feng laughed heartily. Standing in the air, boundless Spiritual Energy rippled around his body, while a wave of pressure enveloped the surroundings.
Clenching her teeth, Wen Qingxuan's lovable face was covered with frost. She was actually injured by Qin Feng. How could someone as prideful as her endure this?
"Even if you don't have any Spiritual Energy, you're still a piece of trash in my eyes." sneered Wen Qingxuan, her voice filled with contempt.
"Is that so?!"
A chilling glint flashed across Qin Feng's eyes. With a move of his body, he had unexpectedly disappeared into thin air.
Gently clenching her teeth, Wen Qingxuan's lovable figure rapidly retreated. Tightly gripping onto her long spear, in the next instant, spear shadows shot out at lightning speed. Akin to a torrential rain, they shot out in all directions.
Ding!
Ding!
Ding!
Metallic sounds continued to ring out as sparks shot out, causing the air to explode. Following every head-on collision, Wen Qingxuan's lovable figure would faintly tremble. After all, she was extremely proud of her Spiritual Energy cultivation. Now that her Spiritual Energy was restricted, her strength would sharply drop to an extremely low level.
At this moment, she was clearly being completely suppressed by Qin Feng.
Seeing Wen Qingxuan retreating step by step, the scorching heat in Qin Feng's eyes grew even more intense. Laughing heartily, his attacks grew even more berserk.
Ding!
Brimming with boundless Spiritual Energy, Qin Feng's finger heavily clashed against the tip of the spear with a force that could topple mountains. As the force gushed out, Wen Qingxuan's lovable figure trembled, while her rosy lips seemed to turn a little more vibrant.
"Haha!"
Laughing maniacally, Qin Feng did not give Wen Qingxuan the slightest opportunity to catch her breath. Rays of brilliance grew increasingly bright on his fingers, while a whirlwind formed on his fingertips.
"Hurricane Finger!"
With a tap of his foot, he appeared behind Wen Qingxuan at lightning speed. Bringing along hurricanes, his finger mercilessly pointed towards Wen Qingxuan's back.
Wen Qingxuan tightly clenched her teeth as an extreme chill flashed within her phoenix-like eyes. All of a sudden, her jade-like hands formed a peculiar seal. However, just as she was about to activate the seal, she felt her lovable figure suddenly tremble. A figure seemed to have appeared behind her, while a familiar scent radiated out. It was Mu Chen.
Mu Chen's arm wrapped around her slender waist, tightly hugging her.
This sudden and unforeseen event caused Wen Qingxuan to be startled. In the next instant, she raised her elbow out of reflex and violently smashed it towards Mu Chen's chest. In the next instant, a pained groan rang out beside her ear, before the two of them were sent flying by a huge force.
As he miserably landed on the ground, Mu Chen adjusted his posture. His body landed heavily on the ground, while Wen Qingxuan landed on his body, completely unharmed.
"What are you doing?!"
Rapidly breaking free from Mu Chen's arm, Wen Qingxuan angrily said.
"You're too heavy-handed."
Rubbing his chest, Mu Chen gave a bitter laugh. Turning his gaze towards Qin Feng, who was circulating boundless Spiritual Energy, his gaze gradually turned cold as he said in a soft voice, "Let me deal with him."
"I can deal with him myself!"
Wen Qingxuan furiously glared at Mu Chen. Clearly, she was still brooding over the fact that he had actually dared to pull her into his embrace.
This time, however, Mu Chen did not pay any attention to her. Extending his arm to block her, he took a step forward.
Seeing that Mu Chen had actually ignored her, Wen Qingxuan could not help raising her eyebrows. However, when her gaze drifted towards Mu Chen's back, she was slightly startled. That's because there was a large patch of blood on the latter's back. That's...
Wen Qingxuan looked towards Qin Feng. Fresh blood was continuously dripping from the latter's finger. From the looks of his expression, it was clearly not his own blood.
Earlier, the reason why Mu Chen had hugged her was because he had used his back to block for her.
"You..." The fury in Wen Qingxuan's heart unknowingly weakened. Taking a look at the patch of fresh blood on Mu Chen's back, her little mouth twitched.
"Don't worry. My skin is rough and my flesh is thick. I'll be fine if I take a hit."
Knowing that she had discovered the injury on his back, Mu Chen waved his hand and said again, "Leave him to me. You go and help Luo Li."
Looking at the youth's slightly calm and handsome face, Wen Qingxuan could feel the murderous intent and rage surging beneath that calmness. Biting her rosy lips, she actually nodded her head obediently, which was a rare sight.
(Today, midnight.)
