Lightning Fire Plains
This was the intersection point between the Great Heaven Domain and the Hundred Battles Domain. Along with the start of the war between the two colossi, the vast plains were also covered in the flames of war.
Both parties were clashing, killing, ambushing and annihilating. The intense battle had caused this region to be enveloped in violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
The earth seemed to be trembling at any moment.
Those that did not belong to either force had avoided the regions of the battle, in case they were affected. In this meat grinder of war, being caught in it would result in destruction.
In the Lightning Fire Plains stood a dilapidated city. At this moment, violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations were constantly sweeping out from the city. Anyone could tell that the two parties were fighting for this city.
Of the two parties, one was clearly from the Great Heaven Domain, while the other was from the Hundred Battles Domain. Such battles were a common occurrence in the Lightning Fire Plains.
Right now, the battle for this city had clearly reached its climax. This city was named Earthly Blaze City, an important city in the Hundred Battles Domain. Therefore, its defences could be said to be strict. Previously, there were several parties from the Great Heaven Domain that had attempted to capture it. However, they were defeated and forced to flee.
But this time, the party that had their eyes on this Earthly Blaze City was from the Great Heaven Domain's Lion-Tiger Mountain. Their fame wasn't small, so the battle between the two parties was extremely intense.
At this moment, above the city gate of this city
There were over a hundred silhouettes standing in the sky, looking at the Spiritual Energy fluctuations that were constantly being emitted from the city with grave expressions.
Standing at the front of those people was a robust middle-aged man.
It was a burly middle-aged man. He frowned as he stared at the city. The defenses here were much stronger than he had expected.
Whoosh!
When he was looking at the city, a dozen streaks of light flew over and landed before them. The one leading them was a similarly robust man that wasn't unfamiliar to him.
It was Fang Lei, who Mu Chen had previously encountered in the Greatlaw Goldpond.
"Uncle Liu, there are two Third Grade Sovereigns hidden in this Earthly Blaze City!" Fang Lei looked at the middle-aged man.
He said in a deep voice.
"No wonder it was so hard to chew!"
The middle-aged man had a grave expression on his face. He was the leader of the Lion-Tiger Mountain, and his strength was also at Third Grade Sovereign. If the other party only had a Third Grade Sovereign.
They relied on their advantage in numbers.
They would still be able to gain the upper hand, but if there were two of them, they would have to pay a heavy price.
"Uncle Liu, what should we do?"
Fang Lei asked. He was also very clear that the other party was stronger. If it weren't for the fact that they had been exhausted by the other people, they would have come out and confronted them head-on.
The middle-aged man's expression changed.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said decisively, "Retreat!
Find another target! "
Fang Lei and the other experts of the Lion-Tiger Mountain were shocked.
After that, they could only reluctantly nod their heads because they understood that they would definitely have to pay an extremely heavy price if they were to forcefully attack and occupy it.
"Go!"
The middle-aged man waved his hand and immediately retreated. Seeing this, the rest of the experts from the Lion-Tiger Mountain also followed.
Xiu!
Xiu!
However, just when they were about to retreat, several light figures suddenly flew out from the city. The two light figures in the lead were emitting extremely powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
"Haha, since you're here, then don't leave!"
The two light figures wildly laughed as two violent Spiritual Energies swept out, sweeping towards the retreating Lion-Tiger Mountain.
When the leader of the Lion-Tiger Mountain saw this, his face instantly changed. He immediately took action and clashed with the two Spiritual Energies.
Boom!
Spiritual Energy fluctuations exploded as the leader of the Lion-Tiger Mountain issued a muffled groan as he was forced back a hundred meters. After all, he was only a Third Grade Sovereign. Since it was two against one, he was naturally not a match for them.
"Quick, leave!"
Being forced back, the leader of the Lion-Tiger Mountain did not dare to stay any longer as he hastily barked. So it turned out that those fellows were just pretending to be weak. They had long recovered.
"It's too late to leave now!"
But facing the retreating experts of the Lion-Tiger Mountain, the experts of the Earthly Blaze City chased after them under the lead of the two Third Grade Sovereigns.
"Damn it!" Fang Lei cursed when he saw those fellows closing in.
"I'll see where you guys can escape to!"
A streak of light flew over and a Third Grade Sovereign expert had appeared before Fang Lei and the rest. He threw a palm out and a huge palm of Spiritual Energy enveloped down along with a shadow.
Fang Lei and the rest, who were enveloped by the huge palm of Spiritual Energy, could not escape and their faces immediately turned pale.
Boom!
However, just when the huge palm of Spiritual Energy was about to envelop them, a black beam of Battle Will suddenly burst out from the horizon and heavily slammed against the huge palm of Spiritual Energy at lightning speed.
Boom!
The huge palm of Spiritual Energy was immediately shattered. Furthermore, the Battle Will did not decrease as it heavily slammed against the body of the Third Grade Sovereign, who was caught unprepared.
Poof.
The latter looked like he was struck by lightning as his body flew out and a mouthful of blood spewed from his mouth. His face was filled with shock as he looked at the horizon. A patch of black clouds was sweeping over and hovered in the horizon.
"It's the Jiu You Troop!"
When the experts of the Lion-Tiger Mountain saw this scene, they instantly exclaimed in joy.
"Haha, Brother Fang, how have you been?" Standing at the front of the Jiu You Troop, a figure looked at Fang Lei as his clear laughter resounded.
"You … you're Mu Chen?!" Fang Lei looked at that familiar figure and widened his eyes.
Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head. Along the way, he had led the Jiu You Troop to sweep through quite a few people of the Hundred Battles Domain. Previously, he had sensed the intense Spiritual Energy fluctuations in this direction and had rushed over.
"So it's Commander Mu Chen. I am the leader of the Lion-Tiger Mountain, Liu Shi."
When the leader of the Lion-Tiger Mountain saw this scene, he immediately cupped his fists as he looked at Mu Chen with a strange gaze. He must have heard of the reputation of this new Commander of the Jiu You Troop.
"So it's Mount Lord Liu."
Mu Chen cupped his fists as he smiled. However, he did not exchange any pleasantries as he continued, "I will deal with a Third Grade Sovereign. As for the rest, you guys can deal with them yourselves."
"Thank you, Commander Mu Chen!"
When Liu Shi heard his words, he couldn't help rejoicing as he could tell that Mu Chen didn't seem to have any intention to seize this city. This way, their Lion-Tiger Mountain would be able to obtain some harvest.
Mu Chen smiled as he nodded his head. Shortly after, his gaze abruptly turned cold as he waved his hand. A torrential Battle Will swept out and directly attacked the Third Grade Sovereign expert that he had injured earlier.
However, he had clearly overestimated the other party's Battle Will. The formation of the Jiu You Troop was terrifying. When the Battle Will spread out, even a Third Grade Sovereign expert would feel a little guilty.
Since the Jiu You Troop was here, wouldn't that mean that the Palace Master of the Jiu You Palace wasn't far away as well?
Thinking about it here, the Third Grade Sovereign expert's gaze flashed as he turned around and fled. When he fled, the experts of the Earthly Blaze City had also lost their Battle Will and fled.
The morale of the experts of the Lion-Tiger Mountain was greatly boosted as they chased after him. Their previous decline had instantly disappeared.
At the sight of this scene, Mu Chen faintly smiled as he looked at Liu Shi and Fang Lei. "The two of you, the target of our Jiu You Palace is the Demonic Lightning Sect. If your Lion-Tiger Mountain has completed your expedition, you can head towards the Demonic Lightning Sect."
"The battle is urgent, so I will not stay here any longer. I will make a move first!"
Mu Chen cupped his fists and without any hesitation, he waved his hand and led the Jiu You Troop to turn into a black cloud as they flew out, leaving behind exclamations on the ground.
"What a formidable young man. How long has it been since he came to the Great Heaven Domain and he can actually control the Jiu You Troop to such an extent."
Liu Shi looked at the black cloud that was flying away as he felt the Battle Will that was spreading out between the heavens and earth and couldn't help exclaiming.
"He's truly terrifying. Compared to the last time I saw him, he has become even more powerful."
Fang Lei sighed. The last time he saw Mu Chen, he still had some confidence in fighting with him. But this time, he understood that the current him was no longer Mu Chen's opponent. Furthermore, Mu Chen's improvement speed made him feel a little shocked.
"According to this speed, I'm afraid that it won't be long before another King appears in the Great Heaven Domain …"
Liu Shi shook his head in envy as he waved his hand. "Let's go, we'll attack the Earthly Blaze City!
After that, we will rush to the Demonic Lightning Sect. Haha, we cannot miss such a grand scene! "
As his voice rang out, he took the lead and flew out, with the other experts of the Lion-Tiger Mountain immediately following behind.
Although the Jiu You Troop's target was the Demonic Lightning Sect from the start, she was smart and didn't recklessly charge in alone. Instead, she slowed down a little as they gradually entered the Lightning Fire Plains. At the same time, she dispatched Mu Chen to lead the Jiu You Troop. In this region, with Mu Chen's strength and the assistance of the Jiu You Troop, they were basically able to sweep through everything.
Therefore, wherever the Jiu You Troop passed, the Hundred Battles Domain's troops that were still resisting were practically completely routed. Furthermore, Mu Chen didn't occupy any of the cities that he passed by, but handed them over to the forces that had bitterly fought before.
Although such actions caused them to suffer some losses, they had created an extremely good reputation for the Jiu You Palace in a short day. Therefore, when the Jiu You Palace requested for them to join hands to attack the Demonic Lightning Sect, practically no one refused.
Therefore, when the Jiu You Troop set off towards the Demonic Lightning Sect on the second day, there were already over a dozen forces that had encircled the Demonic Lightning Sect from other directions.
This scene was grand and majestic. Both the sky and the ground were filled with figures flitting across. Battle intent spread across the horizon, causing even the sky to darken.
Under such a terrifying encirclement, Mu Chen led the Jiu You Troop and finally stepped into the territory of the Demonic Lightning Sect.
