Rumble!
Thunder resounded throughout the heavens and earth as Qin Tiangang's figure turned into a streak of lightning as he flew towards the nine heavens. Violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations fluctuated between the heavens and earth.
Jiu You raised her head as a chill circulated in her slender eyes as she looked at the streak of lightning. Shortly after, she turned her head and said to Mu Chen, "I will deal with Qin Tiangang, I'll leave the Demonic Lightning House to you."
Right now, the only troop that could be put on the stage was the Jiu You Troop. As for the other forces, they were clearly far from being comparable to the Demonic Lightning House.
"Leave it to me."
Mu Chen lightly nodded his head. Although Qin Ling's strength had reached Third Grade Sovereign, it was fortunate that he had broken through to Second Grade Sovereign. Furthermore, with his control over Battle Will, Mu Chen was confident that he wouldn't be any weaker than him.
"I will deal with him as soon as possible."
Nine Nether nodded her head and did not delay any longer. With a tap of her foot, she appeared on the massive body of the pitch-black bird behind her. The bird issued a long cry and flapped its wings, causing a violent gale to blow between the heavens and earth. The massive figure had turned into a black streak of light and soared into the heavens.
Qin Tiangang stood on the nine heavens, at a height of a few myriad feet from the ground. The gale was piercingly cold and only experts that had reached their level would dare to fight here.
He crossed his arms before his chest as he looked at the huge bird that had appeared before him with its wings flapping. Looking at the slender silhouette on the huge bird, he faintly smiled as he clenched his fists. Greyish-black lightning started to wander on the surface of his body like pythons. Sizzle.
Sizzle.
As the lightning flickered, Qin Tiangang's body seemed to have expanded by a size. Generally speaking, those that cultivated in lightning-attributed Spiritual Energy would have a stronger physique. Clearly, Qin Tiangang was the same as Mu Chen, having cultivated his physique.
"Jiu You Palace has placed their target on my Demonic Lightning Sect. I can only say that you guys are blind." Qin Tiangang coldly smiled as he looked at Jiu You.
When Jiu You heard his words, she did not speak any nonsense with him. She gently tapped her foot and the Nether Sparrow emitted a long cry as it flapped its wings. Boundless Spiritual Energy swept out, forming into black feathers that covered the heavens and earth as it enveloped towards Qin Tiangang like a storm.
"Insignificant skill."
Qin Tiangang clenched his fists tightly as greyish-black lightning abruptly burst out. It was like a circular lightning barrier, protecting him within. When those black feathers came in contact with the lightning barrier, they were shattered into specks of light and dissipated.
"Really?"
Jiu You's rosy lips rose as she pointed her finger out. Suddenly, among the black feathers that covered the heavens and earth, a feather that was blazing with purple flames appeared and charged into the lightning barrier with a rustle. But this time, the purple flames surged, incinerating the greyish-black lightning into nothingness. The feather was like a sharp sword as it shot towards the centre of Qin Tiangang's brows.
The sudden attack caused Qin Tiangang's face to change. But he was, after all, a Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm expert. He immediately threw a palm out with lightning surging on his palm.
Boom!
The gale of his palm clashed with the purple flaming feather, instantly causing violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations to wreak havoc. Qin Tiangang's silhouette flashed as he appeared a few hundred feet away. He lowered his head and looked at his charred palm as his face turned a little dark.
"You think that you can block my Undying Flames with just that bit of lightning energy?" A smear of ridicule rose on Jiu You's rosy lips as she spoke.
"Hmph."
Qin Tiangang coldly snorted as he abruptly stomped his feet. In an instant, greyish-black lightning burst out from his body like an ocean. In just a few breaths' time, the layer of clouds had turned into jet-black lightning clouds. The terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuations were something that even those a few myriad feet below could clearly sense.
When a Fifth Grade Sovereign was truly enraged, the might of it could indeed intimidate the heavens and earth.
Jiu You twirled her hand as a pitch-black Spiritual Energy burst out from her body. As the black waves rolled, purple flames surged, causing space to violently distort.
The two terrifying energies each occupied half of the sky. The collision was like a collision of meteorites.
Two cold gazes intertwined in the sky. In the next instant, two figures had turned into streaks of light as they flew out. Behind them, torrential Spiritual Energy surged over like a current as they clashed.
Boom!
Up in the heavens, an astonishing Spiritual Energy storm wreaked havoc. Even the sharp gales were shattered at this moment. A radius of a few myriad feet was filled with the Spiritual Energy of the two of them.
This battle was bound to be soul-stirring.
Down below, countless gazes were looking at the commotion in the heavens as they inwardly smacked their lips. But shortly after, the gazes of some people shifted down. Both Jiu You and Qin Tiangang possessed powerful strength, so it wouldn't be easy to determine the victor in this confrontation.
When it was hard to determine the victor on the surface, the confrontation below was extremely important. The outcome of the battle here would also affect Nine Nether and Qin Tiangang. In that sort of confrontation, the moment one of them was distracted, there was a high possibility that they would reveal their flaws.
Countless gazes started to look at the two figures standing before the Jiu You Troop and Demonic Lightning House.
Under the countless gazes, Qin Ling smiled towards Mu Chen. "Since even the Sect Master has given the order, then we can't let you guys off today."
He clearly had quite a bit of confidence. The Demonic Lightning House surpassed the Jiu You Troop in terms of numbers, and the Commanders of both parties, with his cultivation at Third Grade Sovereign, he could be considered to have suppressed Mu Chen.
In addition to the dazzling achievements that he had obtained from leading the Demonic Lightning House, he had sufficient reason to look down on the newly appointed Commander of the Great Heaven Domain, whose name had just risen in fame.
"I'm just afraid that the final outcome will disappoint Commander Qin Ling." But facing his confidence, Mu Chen had only calmly smiled.
"Haha, courageous."
Qin Ling gave him a thumbs up. Shortly after, a cold arc rose from the corner of his mouth as he said, "But that's why it's interesting. I hope you won't disappoint me later. I hate people who only know how to talk!"
Boom!
As he spoke, Qin Ling stomped his feet and his figure burst forth. Behind him, the rumbling of thunder resounded in this region as the Demonic Lightning House turned into a bolt of lightning and soared into the sky.
Seeing this, Mu Chen had also raised his hand.
"Mu Chen, be careful."
Tang Bing said in a soft voice. This Qin Ling already possessed the strength of a Third Grade Sovereign, stronger than any of the Four Great Commanders of the Great Heaven Domain. Although the strength of an individual wasn't the most important when commanding a troop, it still had a considerable influence.
"I'll leave this place to you."
Mu Chen nodded his head. Right now, the battlefield had practically been split into three. The Jiu You and Qin Tiangang occupied one, the Jiu You Troop and the Demonic Lightning House would fight it out, and this place was the most chaotic. The forces of both sides would make a move in an attempt to restrain the other party.
"Rest assured, they will definitely not be able to disturb you guys."
Tang Bing lightly smiled, looking rather calm. In the past few days, she had already communicated with the forces of the Great Heaven Domain. The moment a chaotic battle breaks out, she would be in control of the situation.
Seeing the confident smile on the girl before him, Mu Chen did not speak any further. His raised hand abruptly fell as his gaze turned sharp.
"Jiu You Troop, let's go!"
"Yes!"
An orderly thunderous voice resounded as the Jiu You Troop rose from the ground, turning into a patch of black clouds that soared into the sky, before appearing before the Demonic Lightning House with boundless Battle Will spreading out.
Mu Chen's figure moved and had immediately appeared above the Jiu You Troop. The boundless Jiu You Battle Will was like a black ocean that gathered around him.
Qin Ling's gaze was indifferent as he looked at Mu Chen. Shortly after, he gently raised his hand as his indifferent voice resounded.
"Demonic Lightning Battle Will!"
Behind him, under the greyish black armour of the Lightning Demon Horde, there seemed to be numerous eyes filled with wildness appearing. Soon after, a low thunderous roar resounded.
Boom!
Lightning flickered between the heavens and earth as innumerable greyish-black Battle Wills soared into the sky like pythons, before converging behind Qin Ling in every direction. This scene was extremely majestic.
"I want to see what's so commendable about the Jiu You Commander that has recently caused an uproar in the Great Heaven Domain!" Qin Ling smiled as he stretched out two of his fingers and gently tapped towards Mu Chen from afar.
Boom!
A hundred-foot lightning Battle Will charged out like an enraged dragon. In that instant, the dazzling lustre that burst out caused countless gazes to be directed over.
As the lightning Battle Will swept over, it had already appeared before the Jiu You Troop in a flash. However, just when it was about to smash over, the pitch-black Battle Will swept over and formed into a feather shield.
Boom!
The two clashed as violent fluctuations wreaked havoc. However, the feather shield, which seemed to be weak, did not shatter. Only when the lightning Battle Will's power was exhausted, did it slowly dissipate.
This scene caused the eyes of the experts on both sides to narrow. That's because, judging from the scale, the Demonic Lightning House clearly had the upper hand and their Battle Will was even more violent.
However, their attacks were easily blocked by the Jiu You Troop.
"Formidable. I have long heard that Commander Mu Chen had defeated five thousand Blood Hawk Troop with a thousand Jiu You Troop. Seeing it today, it looks like the rumours are true."
"Looks like Commander Mu Chen's understanding and control of Battle Will far surpasses the other Commanders."
"…"
On the side of the Great Heaven Domain, many experts couldn't help exclaiming, before they felt relieved. After all, they were worried that if Mu Chen was defeated, it would cause Jiu You to be distracted. If Jiu You failed, then their side would definitely suffer a crushing defeat.
Boom!
Up in the sky, Mu Chen calmly looked at the disappearing lightning before him. Shortly after, he raised his head and his black pupils stared at Qin Ling. In the depths of his eyes, a sharpness that was akin to the edge of a blade slowly surged.
"Today, I will let you see who will be annihilated!"
Both of his hands abruptly formed seals. In the next instant, the boundless Jiu You Battle Will surged at a frantic speed. In just a few breaths' time, the sky had turned dark. Even the violent roars of thunder had been suppressed at this moment.
He, who had been calm and composed, had finally revealed his ferocity.
