"I refuse …"
When Mu Chen's faint laughter rang out in the sky of the Demonic Python City, it caused the atmosphere in this region to slowly freeze. Countless people looked at each other as they vaguely felt the sparks in the air.
"Haha, how courageous."
Wu Tian didn't seem to be surprised by Mu Chen's reply. Therefore, the smile hanging on the corner of his mouth grew even more eerie. Shortly after, he slowly clenched his fist. The boundless Battle Will that was like a sea of blood instantly emitted a torrential stench of blood.
Wu Tian smiled as he looked at Mu Chen. "Since your Jiu You Palace has chosen to take action, then you will have to bear the consequences yourself. Right now, don't expect the Jiu You King to come and save you."
Although he was smiling, the eerie killing intent that was emitted from his smile was extremely dense.
"I have to return those words to Commander Wu Tian. At that time, Lord Blood Hawk King can only watch as the Blood Hawk Troop suffers heavy losses." Mu Chen smiled.
"Haha, courageous!"
Wu Tian laughed towards the sky. Shortly after, his laughter gradually turned cold as he waved his hand and sneered. "Then, let us see who will be the one to destroy who today!"
Boom!
Along with Wu Tian's wave of his hand, the Blood Hawk Troop that was donned in blood armour suddenly roared. Their roars were like thunder as blood-red Spiritual Energy soared into the sky along with a bloodthirsty Battle Will. The entire sky had turned scarlet at this moment.
The sea of blood beneath Wu Tian's feet seemed to have become even more majestic as a powerful pressure swept out in this region, causing gales to whistle.
When Tang Bing saw this scene, her face slightly changed. Wu Tian had been in control of the Blood Hawk Troop for many years.
He was already rather familiar with the Battle Will of the Blood Hawk Troop. Now that he was able to control it, its might was extremely powerful.
"Mu Chen …" Tang Bing looked at Mu Chen with her beautiful eyes.
There was worry in her eyes.
Mu Chen smiled gently at her.
She said softly, "Sister Tang Bing, don't worry. The Jiu You Guards is your blood, sweat, and tears all these years.
They won't be weaker than anyone. Since Sister Tang Bing handed them over to me, I won't allow anyone to defeat them. "
Although Jiu You Palace had suffered a disastrous decline due to Jiu You's disappearance, Tang Bing had never stopped training the Jiu You Guards.
It was so much so that for the final strength of the Jiu You Troop, she was willing to give all the Sovereign Spiritual Liquids that she was allocated to the Jiu You Troop to cultivate. It could be said that the Jiu You Troop was the blood and sweat of Tang Bing.
It was precisely because of Tang Bing's sacrifice that the Jiu You Guard didn't leave Jiu You Palace even when their status had plummeted.
Furthermore, they had preserved their fighting strength.
Although the Jiu You Troop wasn't as numerous as the Blood Hawk Troop, their quality wasn't inferior to the Blood Hawk Troop!
Looking at Mu Chen's gentle smile, Tang Bing couldn't help feeling sour in her nose.
Her eyes had turned a little red. Her persistence all these years might seem foolish in the eyes of others, but she had bitterly persevered. Now that her persistence could be understood, she was undoubtedly a little touched.
"Then, be careful." Tang Bing's rosy lips slightly opened. Compared to the past, her sweet-sounding voice was much softer.
Mu Chen nodded his head as he looked at the Nine Nether Troop donned in black armour. From their eyes, he did not see any fear. On the contrary, there was a fighting intent that had been suppressed for a long time. Perhaps they had also been waiting for this day for a long time.
"As long as you guys aren't afraid, then I can lead you guys to face any opponent."
Mu Chen muttered to himself in his heart. Shortly after, a chill gathered in his black pupils as he abruptly waved his hand.
"Jiu You Battle Will!"
Boom!
The black halberds in every Jiu You Troop's hands slammed down as a deep roar resounded across the horizon like thunder. Dark-black Battle Will rose, enveloping the horizon like a black cloud.
Two Battle Wills spread across the heavens and earth, splitting the sky into two.
At this moment, everyone had gradually retreated from the Battle Will of the two troops. They clearly understood that the commotion from both parties would be incomparable to before once they fought. It was so much so that even the city might not be able to be saved. Both parties seemed to be disregarding the consequences...
The entire city was silent with only the two boundless Battle Wills whistling across the sky like a flood, wreaking havoc in the heavens and earth like two peerless ferocious beasts that were about to pounce.
Under the tense atmosphere, Mu Chen and Wu Tian's eyes abruptly turned cold.
Boom!
Two boundless Battle Wills whistled out at the same time, akin to a myriad of waves as they violently swept out.
Everyone had their eyes fixed on the sky. Just when they raised their hearts and were prepared to witness the confrontation between the two troops of the Great Havenlaw Domain, space suddenly distorted in the sky where the two Battle Wills were clashing. A silhouette suddenly appeared and with a flip of his hand, the two boundless Battle Wills were directly suppressed by his palm and destroyed into nothingness.
Rustle!
The sudden turn of events caused countless people to cry out in alarm. Their gazes shot over and the entire city began to boil.
"That's … one of the three Emperors of the Great Heaven Domain, the Sleeping Emperor?!"
"I never thought that even such a great figure would be alarmed."
"…"
Up in the sky, Mu Chen and Wu Tian were stunned when they saw that silhouette, before they immediately cupped their fists and greeted, "We greet the Lord."
That silhouette lazily waved his hand. Clearly, it wasn't the Sleeping Emperor's actual body that had descended, but was formed from his Spiritual Energy. However, just his Spiritual Physique alone could easily destroy the Battle Wills of the Jiu You Troop and Blood Hawk Troop. His strength was truly unfathomable.
"Although your battle is in line with the rules, the Demonic Python City is, after all, an important city. If it's destroyed, then the loss won't be small." The Sleeping Emperor faintly said.
"This matter isn't what my Blood Hawk Hall wants. It's just that Mu Chen is overbearing and doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth. Therefore, I hope that the Lord can dismiss him from his Commander position." Wu Tian solemnly said.
"My Jiu You Palace is only taking back the cities that belong to us. Your Blood Hawk Hall is obstructing us, so you should pay any price." Mu Chen's tone was calm, but he was also fighting back.
The Sleeping Emperor waved his hand, interrupting the dispute between the two. "This isn't the place to start a war, so you should stop before going too far. Furthermore, the expedition of my Great Heaven Domain is about to begin.
We can freely conquer that vast territory, so why do you guys have to focus on this? "
Wu Tian slightly knitted his brows. The Sleeping Emperor had an extremely high status in the Great Heaven Domain.
His words.
With Wu Tian's status, he naturally did not dare to refute it.
But it wouldn't be beneficial for their Blood Hawk Hall if they let this matter go.
"Haha, Lord Meng's words are reasonable. But these cities have been managed by my Blood Hawk Hall for many years.
Isn't it too easy for the Jiu You Palace to take them back so easily? "
While Wu Tian was silent, a burst of laughter suddenly rang out between the heavens and earth. Thereafter, a faintly discernible light figure appeared in the sky above the Blood Hawk Troop. That appearance was the Blood Hawk King.
Wu Tian saw the Blood Hawk King's appearance.
Only then did he heave a sigh of relief.
"Oh?
Then what does your Blood Hawk Hall want? "
But just when the Blood Hawk King appeared, a cold voice filled with ridicule rang out as well. One could only see the blurry light figure of the Jiu You King.
He had also appeared in a flash.
Looking at this scene, it was clear that the two of them had been paying attention to this place. Now that the Sleeping Emperor had appeared, only then did they appear.
Countless people in the city watched this scene and inwardly smacked their lips. They never thought that the Jiu You King and the Blood Hawk King would actually appear in this battle. These two forces were indeed like fire and water.
"What do you want?"
The Blood Hawk King's gaze flickered as he sneered, "It's fine if you guys want to take back these cities. Since Lord Meng has said that this isn't a suitable place to fight, then my Blood Hawk Troop will wait for you guys in the Military Battlefield three days from now. As long as you guys can defeat my Blood Hawk Troop, not only will we return these fifty cities, my Blood Hawk Hall will also offer another fifty cities and five Sovereign Pellets."
"Rustle."
When the Blood Hawk King spoke out, it instantly caused an uproar. It looked like they were all stunned by his huge sum. Just like that, it was the ownership of a hundred cities. Furthermore, the five Sovereign Pellets were also extremely expensive. It was said that anyone below Fourth Grade Sovereign could increase their strength by a grade if they consumed it. Thus, countless Sovereign experts were scrambling for it like a flock of ducks.
The Jiu You Palace was also slightly stunned. Clearly, he never thought that the Blood Hawk King would be so decisive. It looked like he had really paid a great price to deal with the Jiu You Palace.
"But … if your Jiu You Palace loses, I don't want anything from you guys. You only need to submit to my Blood Hawk Hall. Naturally, I will not interfere in the matters of your Jiu You Palace." The Blood Hawk King faintly smiled as he spoke again.
"You!"
Tang Bing's brows were slightly furrowed as her face turned pale from the anger. The Blood Hawk King was truly ambitious, unscrupulous in order to humiliate their Jiu You Palace. The moment they submit, even if it was just words, their Jiu You Palace would completely lose their morale and be unable to recover from this setback.
Mu Chen, who was standing by the side, had also slightly narrowed his eyes as a cold light surged in his eyes.
The Sleeping Emperor slightly frowned his brows, but he did not speak a word. After all, the competition in the Great Heaven Domain was extremely intense. Only through competition could the vitality of a massive force be maintained.
"How about it?
I won't laugh at you guys if you guys don't dare to accept my challenge. It's just that you guys can forget about taking back those cities. "The Blood Hawk King looked at Jiu You with ridicule.
Jiu You's face was cold. She naturally knew the vicious thoughts of the Blood Hawk King. Shortly after, she turned her head and looked at the slender silhouette below. The Blood Hawk King clearly wanted the two armies to fight, and Mu Chen was the Commander of the Jiu You Troop.
Therefore, this challenge still depended on Mu Chen's decision.
Every single gaze was directed at Mu Chen at this moment. Wu Tian had his arms crossed as he looked at Mu Chen with a playful smile. This move of the Blood Hawk King had forced the Jiu You Palace into a dead end.
Under the focus of countless gazes, the corner of Mu Chen's lips slowly rose into a cold arc as he raised his head and gently nodded his head towards Jiu You.
Seeing Mu Chen nod his head, Jiu You was stunned, before she clenched her teeth and her cold voice resounded across this region.
"Alright, my Jiu You Palace will accept this bet!"
"Three days from now, your Blood Hawk Hall will prepare everything on the battlefield!"
