"Thank you very much for this time."
This was the first time that Mu Chen had heard Wen Qingxuan speak to him in such a gentle tone, causing him to gawk for a moment. In the past, Wen Qingxuan would always appear just like a phoenix high up in the sky, with her long and narrow beautiful eyes brimming with soul-stirring arrogance. This was especially the case when faced against the opposite sex, where the overbearingness and unwillingness to admit defeat within her bones was displayed to the extreme.
Therefore, faced against this absolutely beautiful face, Mu Chen appeared slightly uneasy.
However, this uneasiness did not last for too long, as he saw a familiar and prideful smile appear on Wen Qingxuan's lovable face. Shooting a look at Mu Chen, she said, "However, you're really too weak. Running over to save a damsel in distress with just this bit of ability? Don't throw your life away."
The corner of Mu Chen's mouth involuntarily twitched as he stared unkindly at the woman who didn't know what was good for her, seemingly giving rise to the impulse to set up his own array and throw her in.
Seeing the unkind gaze coming from Mu Chen, the sweet smile on Wen Qingxuan's lovable face grew increasingly dense. In the next instant, her beautiful eyes turned towards the ashen and gloomy Xiao Huang in the distance, as the smile on her face started to dissipate bit by bit. Replacing it was a heart-chilling coldness.
Looking at the ice-cold expression on Wen Qingxuan's face, Xiao Huang's face could not help but tremble.
Outside of the Spiritual Array, the people from the various factions shot pitiful gazes towards Xiao Huang and his group. All of them were able to sense the fury concealed beneath the ice-cold expression on Wen Qingxuan's face.
"Mu Chen, why don't I take over from here?" asked Wen Qingxuan in a soft voice as she looked towards Mu Chen.
Shooting a look at Wen Qingxuan, Mu Chen was able to see the thick flames of fury within her long and soul-stirring beautiful eyes. However, shaking his head, he replied, "This Spiritual Array isn't simple. You're not proficient in breaking it. Furthermore, even if you manage to break it, you'll have to consume an extremely great amount of energy. Therefore, it's best for you to conserve your strength to deal with the upcoming troubles. This matter isn't that simple."
Indeed, Xiao Huang and his group were extremely powerful. However, they weren't to the extent where they would dare to touch Wen Qingxuan. However, from the looks of it, they had really taken action. If one were to say that there wasn't anything strange about this, Mu Chen would definitely not believe it.
There was some deep meaning within Mu Chen's words, causing a thought to flash through Wen Qingxuan's heart. However, her slender crescent moon-like eyebrows started to faintly knit together, while her rosy lips faintly trembled. Although Mu Chen was also a Spiritual Array Master, she was extremely clear about how formidable this "Heaven Binding Array" of Xiao Huang was. Without talking about Mu Chen, even she would have to pay some price in order to break it.
Therefore, faced against such a formidable Spiritual Array, even Mu Chen would find it rather troublesome to deal with. If by any chance he were to make a mistake, it would be quite a loss of face. Although Wen Qingxuan would usually not give any face to Mu Chen, with so many people paying attention to this place, she did not want Mu Chen to lose face.
"It's rare that you're actually concerned about my face."
Seemingly able to see through the thoughts within Wen Qingxuan's eyes, Mu Chen's eyebrows involuntarily twitched. In the next instant, with a smile, he raised his head to look towards Xiao Huang in the distance and said, "However, don't worry. Since I've said that, I naturally have the confidence. Although his Heaven Binding Array isn't weak, I'm afraid that he doesn't have the qualifications to trap me."
As he spoke, a smile surfaced on Mu Chen's face. It wasn't a complacent one, but an arc of self-confidence. It had to be said that this smile possessed quite a bit of charm.
"I don't care if you die."
Looking at the smile present on Mu Chen's handsome face, Wen Qingxuan's beautiful eyes faintly twitched. Shifting her gaze away upon Mu Chen's gaze, she faintly curled her red lips and said, "You men only know how to show off."
"Alright. Seeing that you've come all the way here to help, I won't snatch it from you. Hurry up and deal with this lousy array. I can't help but want to give that fellow a good beating," said Wen Qingxuan as she waved her jade-like hand.
Hearing those words, Mu Chen gave a smile. Not saying anything more, he slowly walked forward, while his gradually chilling and fierce gaze locked onto Xiao Huang's body.
Seeing Mu Chen's actions, Xiao Huang instantly understood what the latter wanted to do. Immediately, a sliver of fury flashed within his eyes as he sneered, "What?
Having someone here to hold the line has given you quite a bit of confidence. "
"I'm just eyeing those 20,000 points, that's all," replied Mu Chen with a smile.
"I'm just afraid that you don't have the ability to take them!"
Looking at the ice-cold beautiful face of Wen Qingxuan behind Mu Chen, Xiao Huang's eyes contained some fear as he said, "It's best if the two of you take action together. Wanting to break the array by yourself is just a pipe dream."
Looking at him with a smile that didn't seem like a smile, Mu Chen replied, "If you're afraid, then be afraid. There's no need to say such words to provoke us. However, don't worry. If it's to break the array, I alone am more than enough."
"Shameless boasting! I really want to see exactly what ability you have to say such words!"
Xiao Huang's eyes faintly flickered, as a gloomy and cold delight flashed within them. From the current situation, they no longer had any advantage. If Mu Chen and Wen Qingxuan were to join hands, even his "Heaven Binding Array" would be utterly unable to obstruct them. However, it was fortunate that this arrogant fellow, Mu Chen, actually dared to be so arrogant.
If they were able to capture Mu Chen later, the situation would once again lean towards them.
With a smile, Mu Chen naturally knew what Xiao Huang was thinking about. However, he did not say anything about it. Slowly clenching his hands, black lightning abruptly gushed out from within his body, crackling as it revolved around his body.
At this moment, exceedingly tyrannical energy fluctuations gushed out from within Mu Chen's body.
The black lightning grew even more condensed. In the end, it was as if it had condensed into a lightning liquid as it slowly flowed on the surface of Mu Chen's body. This scene made Mu Chen look like a god of lightning that stood within the lightning, looking extremely ferocious.
Sensing the tyrannical fluctuations radiating from Mu Chen's body, Xiao Huang immediately narrowed his eyes, not daring to show any neglect. With a change of his hand seal, boundless Spiritual Energy howled out from within the Heaven Binding Array, forming giant Spiritual Energy pythons once again. Hissing and hissing, they extended their tongues as they gloomily locked onto Mu Chen.
Raising his head, Mu Chen extended his foot out, before heavily landing on the ground in the next instant.
Boom!
As his foot landed on the ground, spiderweb-like fissures rapidly extended out. The heavy power radiating from his foot seemed to have caused the entire mountain peak to tremble.
Bang!
As the ground shook, Mu Chen's figure shot out in a spectre-like fashion. Black lightning crazily sparkled on the surface of his body, while black and white Spiritual Energy gushed out like floodwaters.
Following the successful breakthrough of Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy Disaster, the Spiritual Energy within his body had sharply increased by several folds. With his Spiritual Energy and physique complementing each other, the power that erupted from him was more than sufficient to contend against experts of First Grade Spirit Disaster.
Mu Chen pushed his strength to the limits. He didn't launch any random attacks, but shot straight towards a certain location within the Spiritual Array. This was the location that Mu Chen had sensed earlier that was suspected to be the location of the three cores of the Spiritual Arrays.
Being a Spiritual Array Master, Mu Chen was naturally clear that forcefully breaking an Array was the most foolish method. Only by finding the core of the Spiritual Array would he be able to break it easily.
"You're truly dreaming if you want to break my core!"
Upon seeing this, Xiao Huang's eyes instantly sunk. With a sneer, he waved his sleeve, causing dozens of giant Spiritual Energy pythons, each a hundred metres long, to tear through the air as they swept towards Mu Chen without the slightest bit of mercy.
Bang!
A fist rumbled out from Mu Chen. Bringing along boundless Spiritual Energy, the black lightning bolt exploded through the air, violently smashing against the bodies of the giant Spiritual Energy pythons.
Bang!
Bang!
As the lightning bolt whizzed past, several giant Spiritual Energy pythons instantly shattered apart. However, very quickly, the Spiritual Energy converged once again, transforming into giant pythons that were as perfect as before, before crazily rushing out once again.
Bang!
As the lightning bolt and the giant pythons wreaked havoc, astonishing shock waves swept out, causing the entire mountain peak to continuously tremble.
Looking at the collision, a slight wrinkle appeared on Wen Qingxuan's forehead. Since Xiao Huang was able to utilise all of the Spiritual Energy within the Heaven Binding Array, he wasn't the slightest bit afraid of such a battle of attrition. However, why did Mu Chen still choose to face it head-on?
If this continued, there wouldn't be any benefits for him.
Looking at Mu Chen smashing the giant Spiritual Energy pythons apart, Xiao Huang wasn't the slightest bit anxious. On the contrary, a sliver of ridicule surfaced within the depths of his eyes. He knew that if this continued, Mu Chen would definitely be defeated here.
"Since you're so happy killing them, I'll increase the difficulty for you."
Xiao Huang spoke out in a soft voice filled with ridicule. In the next instant, with a flick of his finger, Spiritual Energy suddenly converged over from this direction, transforming into dozens of giant Spiritual Energy pythons, before smashing their giant tails down akin to meteorites.
Bang!
Still not retreating, Mu Chen sent a fist violently smashing against the dozens of giant Spiritual Energy pythons. In the next instant, frightening Spiritual Energy fluctuations erupted, sending him flying backwards. In fact, some signs of disorder had even appeared in the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around his body.
Outside the Spiritual Array, the expressions of Xu Huang and the rest tensed up.
"A fellow that doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth!" At this moment, the chilling smile at the corner of Xiao Huang's mouth could not help spreading out.
Whoosh!
However, before his smile could last for long, his pupils furiously contracted as he saw Mu Chen's flying figure suddenly change direction, rushing straight towards the western side of the Spiritual Array. In the air over there, Spiritual Light radiated out, with array runes concealing the bright and resplendent Spiritual Light present.
Although that direction wasn't too eye-catching, Xiao Huang's expression instantly turned ugly, with shock and astonishment gushing out from within his eyes.
That's because only he knew that that was the true core of the Spiritual Array. However, he never expected that Mu Chen would have already detected it long ago, and had purposefully unleashed his ferocious attacks from another direction, all for the sake of reducing the vigilance in his heart.
Whoosh!
At the same time, Xiao Huang's expression drastically changed as he hastily activated the power of the Spiritual Array. In the next instant, giant Spiritual Energy pythons instantly rushed out in a berserk fashion, chasing after Mu Chen.
However, Mu Chen, who had made use of this opportunity, had taken the first step and appeared beneath the array runes that were flickering with spiritual light. In the next instant, a pillar of light that was brimming with a baleful aura rushed towards the sky from his head.
A gigantic demonic pillar appeared in a flash, before being hugged by Mu Chen. Without the slightest bit of hesitation, he held onto the demonic pillar, before violently swinging it towards the Spiritual Light.
Xiao Huang's face instantly turned deathly pale.
As the demonic pillar was swung down, Mu Chen's indifferent voice rang out along with the hurried whooshing of the wind.
"To suffer the same loss twice. You truly aren't an ordinary idiot."
"I'm sorry about that. Looks like I'll definitely be collecting the 20,000 points this time."
Bang!
Bringing along a fiendish aura that blotted the skies, the demonic pillar violently rumbled down, before heavily smashing against the array runes of Spiritual Light.
