Under the innumerable gazes, Cao Feng slowly walked out. Along with every step he took, the Spiritual Energy ripples that spread out from his body would soar at a shocking speed.
In just three steps, his Spiritual Energy ripples had already surpassed the pinnacle of First Grade Sovereign Realm!
The strength of his Spiritual Energy was even stronger than any opponent that Mu Chen had encountered on the Goldpond Peak!
When Cao Feng stabilised his steps with a ridiculing smile hanging on the corner of his lips, his Spiritual Energy ripples had already stabilised at Second Grade Sovereign Realm. The powerful Spiritual Energy pressure seemed to have enveloped the entire Greatlaw Goldstage.
Cao Feng had actually stepped into Second Grade Sovereign Realm!
Beneath the Goldpond Peak, there were countless exclamations of shock. No wonder Cao Feng wasn't afraid of Mu Chen's challenge. It turned out that he had already completed his breakthrough and successfully stepped into Second Grade Sovereign.
The beautiful faces of Tang Bing and Tang Rou could not help but slightly change. That was because they were very clear that in the Sovereign Realm, the gap between every single level was extremely huge. Wanting to make up for this gap wasn't an easy task.
"Big Sister, Mu Chen won't lose, right?"
Tang Rou pulled Tang Bing's hand as she quietly asked. If Mu Chen lost this time, then the reputation of their Jiu You Palace would probably suffer a great fall. At that time, the Blood Hawk King would definitely bring up the old matter and attempt to disband their Jiu You Palace.
Tang Bing slightly hesitated, before she clenched her teeth and said, "Mu Chen isn't a fool. I believe that he should have expected it. If he didn't have a way to deal with it, he wouldn't have acted so confident."
At this time, aside from believing in Mu Chen, she had no other choice.
Hearing her words, Jiu You Palace couldn't help smiling. "Xiao Bing 'er, you finally have some confidence in him."
Tang Bing blushed and said stubbornly, "I'm thinking for our Jiu You Palace.
Moreover, he was so arrogant in front of me just now. If he loses, see how I'll deal with him! "
A faint smile appeared on Jiu You's cold and elegant face as she stared at the huge Spiritual Energy light screen.
His long and narrow eyes stared at the two figures confronting each other, and he said softly, "Don't worry. One Cao Feng won't be able to stop him!"
Cao Feng stood at the centre of the Greatlaw Goldstage as he looked down on Mu Chen. His strength at Second Grade Sovereign gave him the confidence to be able to do so.
In the Blood Hawk Hall, he had always kept a low profile. Most of the matters were decided by Wu Tian, and he didn't seem to stand out. However, apart from the Blood Hawk King, Wu Tian wasn't the only one.
Very few people would know that his current strength was not much weaker than Wu Tian's. Furthermore, he knew how to endure more than Wu Tian. If it wasn't for Mu Chen this time, he would not have been able to do so.
Perhaps he would even hide his strength until one day, when he would be able to overturn the three people in front of him.
"I did not intend to reveal my full strength."
Boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuated around Cao Feng, causing visible ripples in the air. He indifferently looked at Mu Chen and said, "But as the former Commander of the Jiu You Troop, I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect you.
I think it's necessary for me to test if you, the new commander, are up to standard. "
Mu Chen frowned slightly. He stared at Cao Feng and slowly said, "I hope you won't say that again. You don't have the right to have anything to do with Jiu You Palace."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Also, I want to tell you something.
You're truly an ingrate. So this time, I want one of your hands, even though I feel that it's a little dirty.
But no matter what, you have to give Brother Qianqian of the Jiu You Troop an explanation. "
Mu Chen's calm voice resounded on the Greatlaw Goldstage, which caused the other five to be stunned. It was so much so that even Xu Qing and Zhou Yue had astonished gazes.
They stared blankly at the calm-looking youth in front of them. It was very difficult for them to believe that such extremely arrogant words were actually uttered by such a seemingly gentle youth.
His words had practically treated Cao Feng as a fish on the chopping board, allowing him to slaughter him as he pleased.
Could it be that he couldn't tell that Cao Feng had already stepped into Second Grade Sovereign Realm?
Even if he had displayed impressive battle prowess earlier on, he definitely didn't have the qualifications to boast in front of a Second Grade Sovereign!
"Tsk tsk, interesting."
Wu Tian looked at Mu Chen with a strange gaze as he couldn't help letting out a weird laughter. Was the new Commander of the Jiu You Palace stupid to this extent?
Cao Feng's gaze was also extremely cold as he stared at Mu Chen. The indifference on his face had already disappeared as the corner of his lips lightly trembled. His expression gradually turned a little sinister.
"Haha."
Cao Feng's cold laughter resounded from the gaps of his teeth. Mu Chen's words had undoubtedly caused him to laugh out of extreme anger. In all these years, this was the first time that he had encountered such an arrogant fellow.
Previously, he only wanted to humiliate Mu Chen with words. But who could have expected that the latter's words would be even more shocking? Judging from the looks of it, Mu Chen didn't seem to have treated him as a threat.
"Looks like the new Commander that Lord Jiu You has brought back is very disappointing." Cao Feng coldly said.
Mu Chen frowned his brows as he stared at Cao Feng. "Two hands."
"You're courting death!"
Facing Mu Chen's words, even with Cao Feng's composure, he could no longer endure it. His face was sinister as he eerily laughed. Shortly after, he abruptly burst out. He wanted to cripple that stinking brat and see if he still dared to speak such foolish words.
Rustle!
Cao Feng attacked in rage. His speed was like a spectre as he appeared before Mu Chen. There wasn't any hesitation in him as he threw a fist out. Surging Spiritual Energy swept out like an ocean, exploding towards Mu Chen from every direction.
The power of a Second Grade Sovereign was unleashed from his fist.
This fist was sufficient to defeat any First Grade Sovereign Realm opponent.
The violent fist whistled over with ocean-like Spiritual Energy, causing the golden stage to tremble. Clearly, Cao Feng had not held back in his attack.
The fist rapidly enlarged in Mu Chen's black pupils. However, he did not show any signs of retreating. He hugged the air as his eyes abruptly turned scarlet and a torrential ominous aura swept out.
Boom!
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar had directly appeared between Mu Chen's arms.
Then, he suddenly swung it and forcefully collided with the berserk fist mark.
Boom!
As the two forces collided, a deep explosion was heard.
Visible shock waves violently wreaked havoc. It was so much so that fine cracks had even appeared on the golden stage.
Even Xu Qing, Zhou Yue and the rest had narrowed their eyes from the shock waves.
Boom!
As the Spiritual Energy shock waves wreaked havoc, two figures abruptly flew out.
The Great Meru Demonic Pillar suddenly spun in Mu Chen's hand, before heavily smashing onto the ground. He held onto the demonic pillar with a single hand and forcefully stabilised his body, before raising his head.
He looked at Cao Feng, who was standing not far away with a dark expression.
"Second Grade Sovereign is only so-so."
Mu Chen said calmly. Although his cultivation was only at First Grade Sovereign, his Spiritual Energy had fused with the Undying Flames, so the quality was naturally stronger than Cao Feng's.
In addition to the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, even if he faced Cao Feng head-on, he wouldn't be at a disadvantage.
"Aren't you afraid that you won't be able to come back with your face if you speak such words now?"
Cao Feng ridiculed as his gaze grew colder. Shortly after, he abruptly clenched his fist and boundless spiritual light swept out.
A crimson long spear appeared in his hand. The entire body of the spear was blood-red, as if it had been dyed in endless blood, emitting an eerie aura. At the tip of the spear, there was even a blood-red hawk eye.
It looked extremely bizarre.
"That's the Blood Hawk Spear of the Blood Hawk Hall. This is a Middle Rank Divine Artifact, an important treasure of the Blood Hawk Hall. The Blood Hawk King is truly willing to part with it, to actually give such a Divine Artifact to Cao Feng." Tang Bing looked at the crimson spear.
Her heart instantly tensed up as she said.
Tang Rou's face was filled with worry and nervousness.
With the Blood Hawk Spear in his hand, Cao Feng's aura grew even more powerful. The spear trembled as a sharp hawk cry resounded in the horizon. Blood light rippled, as if it wanted to tear the sky apart.
Rustle!
Cao Feng's figure flew out, leaving behind afterimages. The spear images turned into a blood-red storm as they enveloped towards Mu Chen from every direction. An austere aura swept out.
Mu Chen took half a step back as the Great Meru Demonic Pillar in his hand whistled out. The massive pillar swept out and received the spear images that covered the sky.
Ding! Ding!
Ding! Sparks flew as the two of them clashed like lightning. Every single collision would cause an astonishing Spiritual Energy shock wave to explode, causing space to distort.
The two of them did not adopt any form of defence. They were completely using an offensive stance, which was extremely eye-catching.
Countless people widened their eyes as they stared at the two blurry figures. There was a clear divide around the two of them. Regardless of how ferocious the other party's attacks were, it was difficult for them to break through the divide.
Many people had astonishment in their eyes as they realised that in this confrontation, Cao Feng, who was originally stronger than Mu Chen, couldn't obtain the slightest advantage.
Cao Feng had clearly noticed it. Immediately, his eyes turned even colder. With a tap of his foot, his figure soared into the sky. The Blood Hawk Spear in his hand burst out with a blood-red light and a sharp hawk cry resounded across the heavens and earth.
"Hawk Spear - Sky Splitting Hawk!"
As the blood light gushed out, a hundred-foot blood hawk flew out from the long spear. It unfolded its wings and fused with the incomparably sharp spear light. With an extremely ferocious stance, it swiftly enveloped towards Mu Chen like a bolt of lightning.
"Die!" Cao Feng's cold roar resounded across the horizon.
Mu Chen raised his head as he looked at the ferocious attack. A sharpness gathered in his black pupils as he deeply inhaled a mouthful of air. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar in his hand heavily stomped on the ground. On the ancient demonic pillar, the demonic runes that seemed to be from the primordial times lit up, bit by bit.
In that instant, an indescribable ominous aura spread across the heavens and earth. It was as if an ancient demonic being had awakened, causing the faces of countless people to change.
The scarlet in Mu Chen's eyes soared as a deep voice resounded within his heart.
"Great Meru Demonic Pillar - Sweeping Demonic Runes!"
