When Mu Chen's voice, which contained a trace of chill, resounded in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, it had caused the bustling pavilion to turn silent for an instant. Shortly after, many gazes turned pondering.
ybdu,
Some gazes were vaguely directed at the indifferent figure in the higher floors. Liu Yan's name was resounding amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region. Being ranked fourth on the Dragon-Phoenix Record was sufficient to prove his status.
Even those that were gathered in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion could be considered as elites amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region. But when they faced Liu Yan, they couldn't help feeling fearful.
Such a figure was definitely one of the strongest competitors in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven. No one dared to belittle him. So when they saw someone calling out Liu Yan's name, their gazes turned interesting.
When Liu Yan heard those words, there weren't many ripples on his face. He only faintly smiled in a lofty manner. In this place, his status wasn't something that a nobody like Mu Chen could compare to.
If he were to pay attention to Mu Chen so easily, it would be lowering his status.
Around Liu Yan, some of the younger experts that were on good terms with him sneered in a low voice as they cast their unfriendly gazes towards the youthful figure below.
The red-dressed lady, who was the focal point of the entire Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, had also lightly smiled with interest.
When everyone in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion directed their gazes towards that direction, the young expert that had made a move against Mu Chen earlier had a dark expression. He clearly did not expect that this fellow, who was only at Third Grade Sovereign Realm, would actually disregard him.
He had actually disregarded him.
However, he was also shrewd and did not fall out with Lin Yun. On the contrary, he had taken a step back.
He cupped his fists and faintly smiled. "I am Lu Yang of the Snow Dragon Mountain. Friend, state your name."
The Snow Dragon Mountain could be considered as a major force in the Northern Region. Their strength wasn't any weaker than the Hundred Battles Domain. Lu Yang was a well-known figure amongst the younger generations of the Snow Dragon Mountain.
He was probably not weaker than Qin Bei from the Realm of a Hundred Battles.
Although Lu Yang was much weaker than Liu Yan, he could be considered to have some background in the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion.
Many people had heard of his name.
Mu Chen's back was facing Lu Yang, and his handsome face was a little cold. He hadn't expected to meet Liu Yan here, and he hadn't expected that Liu Yan would be so impatient.
Before his buttocks warmed up.
They were already going to attack him.
However, this fellow seemed to be a little arrogant and felt that it was beneath him to directly attack Mu Chen. It was likely that he felt that Mu Chen did not have the qualifications to do so. Hence, under his hint, these scoundrels of his couldn't help but jump out.
Cai Xiao sat next to Mu Chen. She rested her chin on her hand as she watched the scene unfold. Shortly after, she smiled at Mu Chen.
"Looks like your ability to stir up trouble isn't any weaker than mine. They've come to slap your face."
Mu Chen's face was as calm as an ancient well.
He did not turn around to look at Lu Yang of the Snow Dragon Mountain. No matter what, the Great Heaven Domain was a peak force in the Northern Region. If it was during normal times, the Snow Dragon Mountain wouldn't even dare to let out a fart. But at this moment, they actually dared to be domineering before him. Facing such a character, if he were to take the initiative to respond, he would be throwing away the identity of the Great Heaven Domain.
Liu Yan was arrogant, but how could he know that the arrogance in the heart of this handsome and gentle youth was much stronger than him?
After Lu Yang reported his name, he did not receive any response from Mu Chen. Immediately, the corner of his eyes couldn't help twitching as a smear of hostility surged in his eyes. Since when did a Third Grade Sovereign dare to put on such airs before him? Did he really think that he was in the Great Heaven Domain?
"Looks like this friend thinks that my Snow Dragon Mountain isn't heavy enough … Haha, with the strength of the Great Heaven Domain, you do have the qualifications."
Lu Yang smiled. A trace of ridicule flashed across his eyes as he said, "However, do you really think that you are qualified to do so?"
Boom!
When he finished speaking, Lu Yang's gaze abruptly turned cold as boundless Spiritual Energy burst out from his body like a storm. The strength of his Spiritual Energy had attracted the attention of many experts in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion.
Lu Yang's strength had probably vaguely come in contact with the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm. Although his strength couldn't be considered as the pinnacle amongst the younger generations, it had probably reached the top.
Boom!
Lu Yang's face was ice-cold. He stomped his feet and his figure shot out like a ghost. Boundless ocean-like Spiritual Energy gathered in his palm as he furiously slapped it towards Mu Chen without the slightest bit of mercy.
He intended to use his true strength to let this brat from the Great Heaven Domain understand that the Great Heaven Domain couldn't protect his laughable dignity in this place.
In this place, no one cared about where you came from. As long as you're not strong enough, then you can get lost from the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion!
"Snow Dragon Palm!"
With a low roar, a cold aura swept out from Lu Yang's palm like an ice river. A massive snow dragon rushed out, bringing along snowflakes that covered the sky and covered the earth as it enveloped the area where Mu Chen was at.
In the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, the gazes that were watching this scene had slightly narrowed. Lu Yang was truly ruthless to execute a killing move right from the get-go. The Snow Dragon Palm contained the cold aura of the Snow Dragon Mountain. If he was struck by it, the Spiritual Energy in his body would probably be frozen. Even if it was expelled, his meridians would still be damaged. With his meridians being damaged at this moment, that also meant that this young man from the Great Heaven Domain could no longer participate in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven …
As the torrential snowflakes blew from his back, Mu Chen's silhouette still did not move. However, Cai Xiao, who was sitting opposite him, suddenly narrowed her eyes.
That's because she saw that Mu Chen's black pupils were turning deep and dark at an astonishing speed. In that instant, his face had turned indifferent, without the slightest liveliness from before.
Furthermore, if the Spiritual Energy around Mu Chen's body was vaguely surging, at this moment, the Spiritual Energy around him had become extremely restrained.
This didn't mean that Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy had weakened, but his control over his Spiritual Energy had suddenly reached a near-perfect degree.
Mu Chen's slender hand raised the teacup before him and gently took a sip. At this moment, the terrifying cold aura had already swept over from his back, causing snowflakes to appear on his hair.
Within the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, countless experts looked at Mu Chen, who was still calm and composed, in astonishment. Could it be that he didn't know that the fatal attack behind him had already arrived?
However, judging from the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around Mu Chen, he didn't seem to have any intention of defending himself.
"What is that fellow trying to do?
Is he courting death? "Someone muttered in puzzlement.
This strange scene not only attracted many voices of doubt, but even some figures in the higher echelons, who were hidden in the dark, had also let out soft exclamations of surprise.
"Since you're courting death, then don't blame me!"
The attack had already arrived like a bolt of lightning. A cold arc rose from the corner of Lu Yang's mouth. At this distance, even if Mu Chen were to defend himself with all his might, it would be too late.
He never expected that the young expert dispatched by the Great Heaven Domain would actually be such a fool!
Looks like this time, the Great Heaven Domain would become a huge laughing stock.
Boom!
However, just as the corners of Lu Yang's mouth rose into a cold arc, the space in front of him seemed to suddenly distort. Then, a soul-shaking thunderous sound penetrated all of his defenses in an extremely strange manner, directly exploding from the depths of his heart.
The appearance of the thunderous roar was too strange, to the point that Lu Yang wasn't prepared in the slightest. In that instant, he lost control of the Spiritual Energy in his body. His Spiritual Energy was chaotically surging and even his mind was in a trance.
Poof!
A mouthful of blood spewed from Lu Yang's mouth without any warning. The Snow Dragon Palm Print that had taken form crumbled apart, turning into snowflakes that filled the sky. Faint blood flowed from his seven apertures.
As the snowflakes swept over from his back, Mu Chen finally turned around. He took a step forward and his figure mysteriously appeared before Lu Yang. His palm gently landed on the latter's chest.
Boom!
Boundless Spiritual Energy gushed out as Lu Yang's figure was instantly sent flying out. As he violently spewed blood, he drew a long mark in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. In the end, with a bang, he smashed through the window and flew out of the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion.
At this moment, the entire Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion had turned silent.
Numerous gazes were looking at the slender figure in shock. The previous scene was too strange. Mu Chen didn't seem to have done anything, but Lu Yang's attack had automatically shattered. Furthermore, he was even shaken to the point that he was bleeding from his seven apertures.
"Just what did he do?"
The eyes of many experts were overwhelmed with shock. Shortly after, their faces gradually turned grave. To be able to defeat Lü Yang in a short exchange, there weren't many people in the Dragon Phoenix Pavilion that could do that.
This young expert from the Great Heaven Domain wasn't someone to be trifled with.
Some people's gazes intertwined. When they looked at that figure once again, there was an additional trace of fear in their eyes.
The higher ups were also somewhat quiet. Liu Yan's gaze was dark, while the eyes of the red-dressed woman lit up. Shortly after, she looked at Mu Chen with a thoughtful expression. Several gazes from the higher ups shot down in astonishment.
"Interesting." Vaguely, there seemed to be someone evaluating.
While the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was quiet, Mu Chen's pitch-black and abstruse eyes slowly returned to normal. Shortly after, he raised his head and looked at Liu Yan with a chilling gaze. At the same time, an indifferent voice rang out.
"Now, you can do it yourself?"
The teacup in Liu Yan's hand was quietly covered in dense cracks, before it turned into powder and drifted down. Without any expression on his face, he patted his hands and slowly stood up.
As he stood up, the atmosphere in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion instantly became oppressive.
The ferocious figure that was ranked fourth on the Dragon-Phoenix Record was actually going to do it himself?
