A clear laughter accompanied the rumbling of thunder as it resounded between the heavens and earth, immediately attracting the gazes of the countless experts in this region to the distant sky. The morale of the Great Heaven Domain's experts, which had fallen due to the defeat of the Kingo Troop, was instantly roused.
"It's the Jiu You Troop!"
"The Jiu You Palace's troops have finally arrived. It's said that they have defeated the Demonic Lightning Palace."
"That's great. That voice should belong to the Jiu You Troop's commander, Mu Chen. With him around, there's no need to fear Lin Qingfeng!"
"… …"
Whispers rang out in the sky as many experts from the Great Heaven Domain's side became excited. In less than half a year, practically all the experts of the Great Heaven Domain knew about the Jiu You Troop, which had risen at an astonishing speed. At the same time, they also knew about the new commander of the Jiu You Troop, Mu Chen.
In the sky, Lin Qingfeng narrowed his eyes as he looked in that direction. There seemed to be a black cloud sweeping over from the distance, bringing along an austere aura as it appeared not far away.
It was an army donned in black armour, with pitch-black Battle Will whistling like a torrent. Vaguely, there seemed to be violent rumbles of thunder resounding. The entire army stood quietly in the sky, emitting a stern aura that no one dared to belittle.
"Haha, the Jiu You Palace's Jiu You Troop?
I've long heard of it. "Lin Qingfeng looked at the black army before him with his eyes narrowed as he faintly smiled.
"I've long heard of the extraordinary strength of the Myriad Swords Valley's 3,000 swordsmen. Now that I've seen it for myself, the rumors are true."
In the sky above the Jiu You Troop, Mu Chen's figure appeared in a flash as he looked at the azure-robed Lin Qingfeng with a faint smile.
"You must be the new commander of Jiu You Palace, Mu Chen, right?"
Lin Qingfeng stared at Mu Chen and said slowly, "It is said that you not only defeated the Blood Eagle Guard of the Great Heaven Domain, but you also defeated the Blood Eagle Guard of the Great Heaven Domain.
Even the Demonic Lightning House of the Demonic Lightning Sect was defeated by you? "
Mu Chen smiled. He glanced at the Golden Guardians not too far away and said with a smile, "Commander Lin.
Now that the war is going on, I think you should take your people and leave first? "
"Hehe, do you want to save them?"
A playful smile appeared on Lin Qingfeng's face. Soon after, his finger gently flicked the longsword on his back. With a grin, he looked at Mu Chen and said, "It's fine if you want to save them. However, I'm afraid that you'll end up throwing your life away."
Although Lin Qingfeng had heard about the recent achievements of the Jiu You Guard, it was clearly impossible for it to cause him any pressure. After all, he was still the Chief Commander of the Valley of Ten Thousand Swords.
In the entire Hundred Battles Domain, the number of Commanders that could match up to him could be counted on one hand.
Although not all three thousand Sword Servants were by his side, he had the boldness to look down on the other Commanders.
"Commander Lin is right."
Mu Chen smiled and nodded his head.
He naturally knew that with Lin Qingfeng's fame in the Realm of a Hundred Battles, it would be impossible for him to rescue Lin Qingfeng by relying on his glib tongue.
Since words were useless, then he would use his fists.
A cold light instantly gathered in Mu Chen's pitch-black eyes.
He did not have any hesitation as he stomped his feet. The Nine Nether Troop below roared in unison. Instantly, a pitch-black Battle Will soared into the sky and there was a thunderous roar coming from it.
The Battle Will of the Jiu You Guard.
Compared to a month ago, it had clearly grown stronger.
Buzz.
When the Nine Nether Battle Will burst out, Lin Qingfeng had also waved his hand. Instantly, a myriad of sword cries resounded, akin to countless Sword Aura Battle Will.
Sword Qi and Battle Will whistled as they revolved around Lin Qingfeng like a storm.
The sharpness of the Sword Qi seemed to be able to tear the heavens and earth apart.
"Commander Mu Chen, if you want to save people, then try receiving a move from me!"
Lin Qingfeng laughed. However, there wasn't much of a smile in his eyes as he abruptly formed a seal with his hands.
"Sword Intent, Spiritual Sword Lotus!"
Swish!
Boundless Sword Qi swept out, directly transforming into a sword lotus that was condensed from Sword Qi. The sword lotus slowly blossomed, and as it revolved, even the space around it was sliced apart, leaving behind fine marks.
Although the Sword Lotus was quiet, anyone could feel the sharpness contained under its silence. Lin Qingfeng clearly had no intention of showing mercy. He had immediately used a killing move.
Lin Qingfeng indifferently looked at Mu Chen. With a flick of his finger, the Sword Lotus instantly shot out, leaving behind afterimages in the air. Its speed was akin to a bolt of lightning.
The Sword Lotus rapidly expanded in Mu Chen's eyes. However, there wasn't much change on his face. His hand seal changed as the boundless Jiu You Battle Will surged, transforming into a black fist. Dark-black lightning frantically flickered on the surface of the fist.
"Jiu You Battle Will, Jiu You Lightning Fist!"
Mu Chen's fist rumbled out as the black fist wrapped in lightning shot out. Without any intention of dodging, it violently clashed against the Sword Lotus.
Boom!
The Sword Aura and the dark-black Battle Will swept out, causing the surrounding space to distort as a shock wave wreaked havoc. However, it wasn't able to blow away the two troops.
Below, countless gazes looked at the confrontation in the sky with shock in their eyes. That's because anyone could tell that the attack from the three thousand Sword Servants couldn't do anything to the Jiu You Troop.
"The Jiu You Troop seems to be stronger than when they fought with the Blood Hawk Troop."
There were some experts with keen eyesight that realised with a glance that the Nine Nether Troop seemed to have grown stronger compared to when they fought with the Blood Hawk Troop.
"The Jiu You Troop has followed the right person. In the past, when they were in the hands of Cao Feng, they weren't as imposing as they are now."
In the sky not far away, the commander of the Kingo Troop, Qian Long, had a complicated gaze as he looked at Mu Chen, who was facing Lin Qingfeng. In the beginning, when Mu Chen became the commander of the Jiu You Troop, he had inwardly ridiculed him. That's because he didn't think that such a young person could possess much ability. But after that, a series of events had made him understand how short-sighted he was. It was precisely in the hands of this young man that the Jiu You Troop, which wasn't that famous in the Great Heaven Domain, had slowly blossomed with dazzling brilliance.
It was so much so that they even possessed the ability to contend with the three thousand Sword Servants of the Myriad Swords Valley.
"Commander, do we need help?" Someone asked from behind Qian Long.
Qian Long shook his head and said, "Lin Qingfeng can't do anything to Mu Chen right now. They won't fight."
With his eyesight, he could naturally tell that although Lin Qingfeng was powerful, it would be difficult for him to defeat Mu Chen. Only if the three thousand Sword Servants could gather would they be able to suppress Mu Chen.
Just as Qian Long had expected, Lin Qingfeng frowned his brows as he looked at the Jiu You Troop that had easily blocked their attack. In the end, he smiled and said, "Looks like the rumours are true. Commander Mu Chen is indeed not simple."
"You're flattering me." Mu Chen smiled.
"Since Commander Mu Chen has stepped forth, I'll naturally give you face. Today, I'll let the Kingo Troop off. However, I hope that Commander Mu Chen can still remain so calm and unperturbed when our two sides fight."
Lin Qingfeng cupped his hands together and smiled. With a wave of his sleeve, he turned around and swiftly left with his troops.
Mu Chen frowned as he looked at the departing figures. Lin Qingfeng was indeed worthy of being the chief commander of the Myriad Swords Valley. From the short exchange earlier, Mu Chen already knew that Lin Qingfeng was a troublesome figure.
"It's no wonder that the Myriad Swords Valley can become one of the top three forces in the Hundred Battles Domain. They do have some ability." Mu Chen muttered to himself. Looks like the upcoming decisive battle will be somewhat earth-shattering.
While Mu Chen was pondering, Qian Long had already led the Kingo Troop over and cupped his fists together in gratitude. "Commander Mu Chen, many thanks."
"Commander Qian Long is too courteous. We are all from the Great Heaven Domain, so I naturally have to lend a hand."
Mu Chen hastily cupped his fists together in reply. The Gilded King was rather low-profile in the Great Heaven Domain. Although his help this time wouldn't make them deeply grateful, it would at least deepen the relationship between the Gilded King and the Jiu You Palace.
A smile appeared on Qian Long's stern face. He had a slightly better impression of Mu Chen in his heart. He had seen many so-called young geniuses, but all of them were arrogant. On the other hand, Mu Chen didn't have such arrogance. It was no wonder that the King of Jiu You Palace thought so highly of him.
"Since commander Mu Chen has rushed over, I believe that the King of Jiu You Palace has also arrived, right?
Haha, the decisive battle is waiting for the King of Jiu You Palace, "Qian Long said with a smile.
"Yes, she has already gone to meet up with the three Emperors."
Mu Chen nodded his head. The King of Jiu You Palace was, after all, one of the nine Kings and also one of the top forces in the Great Heaven Domain. She naturally couldn't be absent from this decisive battle.
Qian Long nodded his head. Just when he was about to speak again, a deep drum sound suddenly rang out from the distant horizon. The drum sound seemed to be filled with endless battle intent.
"It's the Hundred Battle Drum of the Hundred Battles Domain!" Qian Long's expression instantly turned grave.
"What's wrong?" Mu Chen hastily asked.
"The Hundred Battles Domain is about to start!" Qian Long said in a deep voice, "Commander Mu Chen, let's hurry to the base!"
Mu Chen was slightly startled. The Hundred Battles Domain was actually so impatient to start the decisive battle?
However, he didn't have the time to think about it. With a wave of his hand, he flew out with Qian Long, followed by the two troops.
Two torrents flashed across the sky with lightning like speed, while the ancient low and deep drum sound also became increasingly clear.
After travelling at full speed for roughly half an hour, Mu Chen and Qian Long's silhouettes gradually slowed down as they looked into the distance. The light barrier that enveloped the Hundred Battles City was slowly being torn apart. In an instant, countless silhouettes swept out like locusts, covering the sky above the Hundred Battles City to the point that not even sunlight could shine through.
Before this terrifying formation, there was a dense mass of silhouettes that stretched to the end of one's sight. Innumerable powerful Spiritual Energy fluctuations soared into the sky. The violent Spiritual Energy fluctuations practically caused the Spiritual Energy in this region to boil.
The two terrifying formations clashed at this moment.
The sky looked as if it was about to collapse at this moment.
Looking at this scene, Mu Chen couldn't help breathing out a mouthful of air. This decisive battle was truly shocking.
