"Now, let me teach you how to use Battle Will!"
When Lu Kui heard Mu Chen's words, his ferocious-looking face couldn't help trembling. Shortly after, he laughed from the extreme anger and the killing intent in his eyes was practically overflowing. In the Dragon Serpent Sect, although his strength was only ranked third amongst the three Sect Masters, he also had his own strong point, which was his talent in Battle Will. Although it wasn't enough for him to become a Battle Formation Master, it wasn't hard for him to control the Battle Will of a few thousand troops.
Judging from this, he was stronger than the Second Sect Master, Lu Wu. Therefore, the Serpent Troop was controlled by him, and not Lu Wu, who was stronger than him.
Furthermore, those experts that had fought with the Dragon Serpent Sect knew that although Lu Kui's strength was only at Fifth Grade Sovereign, the moment he controlled the Serpent Troop, his terrifying fighting strength was something that not even Lu Wu, who had stepped into the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, would dare to face.
That's because Lu Kui had gathered the power of the entire Serpent Troop, in addition to his own strength. Even a Sixth Grade Sovereign would possess the strength to fight!
This was the great benefit of controlling Battle Will. It was sufficient to allow someone to possess strength that surpassed their own cultivation.
Therefore, when Lu Kui, who had some talent in Battle Will, heard that Mu Chen wanted to teach him how to use Battle Will, the rage in his heart was akin to an erupting volcano. The sinister smile on his face practically wanted to tear Mu Chen apart.
Everyone in the surroundings exchanged a look. They must have been startled by Mu Chen's arrogant words. After all, Mu Chen had given off a gentle and calm feeling right from the start. The sudden change had left everyone stunned.
While they were stunned in their hearts, they couldn't help lightly frowning their brows at Mu Chen's words. After all, Lu Kui, who stood before them, wasn't a third-rate figure. The Serpent Troop that he led had also obtained considerable achievements in recent years. Probably no one here would dare to speak to him in the same manner as Mu Chen.
Therefore, the current Mu Chen made them feel as if he was young and frivolous...
However, Mu Chen didn't care about their thoughts. Jiu You's battle intent surged around him like an ocean. His expression was calm, and there weren't any ripples in his eyes.
Lu Kui did have some talent in Battle Will, but it was impossible for him to become a genuine Battle Formation Master. That's because his comprehension in Battle Will was only at the initial level.
The Art of Battle Formations was to use strength to control the formation.
Controlling with one's heart was the supreme Dao.
As for Lu Kui, he was only at the level of controlling with his strength. There was a huge gap between him and Mu Chen, who had comprehended the Heart of Battle Formation.
Although it was the same troop, under the control of the two different realms, the Battle Will that could be unleashed would also be a world of difference.
Mu Chen slowly spread his hands out as his will unreservedly rippled out, coming in contact with the surging Jiu You's Battle Will. Thereafter, there wasn't the slightest resistance and it had perfectly integrated into it.
Roars that were filled with Battle Will gushed out, but it couldn't disturb Mu Chen's state of mind. His will seemed to have become incomparably powerful along with the surging Battle Will.
Rumble.
The pitch-black Battle Will rose without wind and gathered around Mu Chen. Furthermore, anyone could sense that Jiu You's Battle Will was also rising at this moment.
An oppressive feeling quietly shrouded them.
A sharp light abruptly surged in Mu Chen's black pupils. In that instant, Battle Will gushed out as he abruptly clenched his fist.
Boom!
A massive Jiu You's Battle Will soared into the sky and converged in the sky. As the Battle Will condensed, it had actually formed into a black feather that was roughly a hundred feet in size. Lightning could be vaguely seen flickering on the black feather, filled with a powerful destructive power.
When the surrounding experts saw that black feather, their eyes slightly trembled. It was so much so that even several Fifth Grade Sovereigns had a slight change in their expressions. They must've felt a powerful threat from that black feather.
"Go."
Mu Chen's gaze slightly drooped as he flicked his finger. The black feather instantly pierced through space like a feather sword, along with an unparalleled sharpness as it slashed towards the Serpent Troop.
Sizzle.
The feather sword had yet to land, but a deep scar had already been torn open on the ground below.
"I'll see how a brat like you, who's still wet behind his ears, teaches me how to play with Battle Will!"
Lu Kui's eyes narrowed when he sensed the sharp Battle Will from the black feather sword. However, he did not feel any fear as he sinisterly smiled and roared, "Serpent Troop!"
"Kill!"
Down below, the Serpent Troop burst out with roars of slaughter as greyish-black Battle Will spread out. Lu Kui clenched his fists and the greyish-black Battle Will violently gathered, forming into a huge and sinister greyish-black serpent halberd. A cold chill spread out, causing the temperature in this region to drop.
"Demonic Serpent Halberd!"
Lu Kui stomped his feet and the greyish-black serpent halberd twisted like a snake. When it bounced up, space had been torn apart and in the next instant, it had already clashed with the black feather sword.
Boom!
Berserk energy ripples rippled out from the sky, causing space to constantly distort as the two berserk energies collided and devoured each other.
Everyone was staring at the sky.
As the two violent Battle Wills clashed, what left everyone astonished was that the Jiu You Battle Will vaguely showed signs of gaining the upper hand. There seemed to be thunderous roars coming from the Battle Will, causing the eerie energy of the Serpent Troop's Battle Will to be unable to invade it.
Boom!
The corrosion did not last for long before the Serpent Demon Halberd was shattered. However, when the Serpent Demon Halberd was destroyed, the tail of the black feather had also dimmed. Clearly, it had also exhausted a considerable amount of energy. Therefore, when the black feather sword charged towards Lu Kui with the remaining energy, it was easily shattered by him with a wave of his hand.
However, Lu Kui's expression was still unsightly to the extreme. Because anyone could discern that the Ninth Hell Battle Will had actually gained the upper hand in the collision of their Battle Wills.
"This is the Battle Will that you want to teach me?
It doesn't seem to be that powerful! "Lu Kui said with an ashen face.
However, when he spoke, many people in the surroundings inwardly curled their lips. After all, they weren't blind. Mu Chen's previous attack had clearly posed a great threat to Lu Kui. It's just that that fellow refused to admit it.
But this scene had also caused everyone to be inwardly cautious. Initially, they thought that Mu Chen was boasting. But from the looks of it, this young man did possess a shocking talent in Battle Will, so he couldn't be underestimated just because of his age.
Mu Chen had also heard Lu Kui's words. However, he had only faintly smiled, before closing his eyes and slowly spreading his hands out.
Rumble.
The boundless Jiu You Battle Will quietly boiled at this moment, before the Jiu You Battle Will suddenly trembled. Thereafter, huge beams of Jiu You Battle Will soared into the sky.
As those beams of Battle Will gathered, black feather swords were formed once again!
Every single one of those feather swords wasn't any weaker than before. Now that there were nearly a dozen of them gathered together, it had directly caused many experts in this region to inhale a mouthful of chilled air.
Just a single one of those black feather swords had already caught Lu Kui by surprise. Now that there were dozens of them, even a Sixth Grade Sovereign expert would be in a terrible state!
"How can he control Battle Will to such a degree?!"
An expert exclaimed in disbelief. Condensing Battle Will to such a degree in one go was not something that an ordinary commander could easily achieve.
Up in the sky, Jiu You and Lu Wu watched this scene. The former lightly smiled, while the latter's face uncontrollably turned a little unsightly as he eerily said, "This time, we have misjudged. No wonder Palace Master Jiu You isn't anxious, so that brat has concealed his strength so deeply!"
Whoosh!
As the commotion resounded in this region, Mu Chen did not hesitate and waved his sleeve. The dozen black feather swords flew out like bolts of lightning towards Lu Kui.
Lu Kui's face had also turned extremely grave at this moment. Although he was also in disbelief that Mu Chen could control Battle Will to such a degree, he still had to withstand the latter's fatal attack, regardless of anything.
At this point, he had no choice but to admit that Mu Chen's comprehension of Battle Will had surpassed him. At the very least, he knew that it was impossible for him to be like Mu Chen when it came to an attack similar to the Demonic Serpent Halberd from before, to be able to condense such an amount so easily …
"Demonic Serpent Barrier!"
Lu Kui's seals swiftly changed as he roared. In an instant, the boundless Serpent Troop's Battle Will surged and formed into a greyish-black barrier. On the barrier, a massive greyish-black serpent could be vaguely seen swimming around, emitting astonishing Spiritual Energy fluctuations.
When the Demonic Serpent Barrier was formed, the black feather swords had already torn through space and ruthlessly stabbed out.
Boom!
A clear and crisp sound rang out. Every single time the black feather sword struck the Demonic Serpent Barrier, it would cause ripples to fluctuate before shattering. But every single time a feather sword shattered, the serpent image on the Demonic Serpent Barrier would emit a mournful hiss with ripples swiftly fluctuating.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
The sounds of the feather swords shattering rang out one after another. When the last feather sword shattered, the Demonic Serpent Barrier finally shattered, revealing Lu Kui's sinister face.
Boom!
Facing the last feather sword, Lu Kui's face was ferocious. He did not retreat, but burst forth and threw a fist forth. Instantly, boundless Battle Will spread out and gathered on his fist. Thereafter, he gathered all his strength and threw a punch at the last feather sword.
Boom!
That fist that had reached the pinnacle not only caused space to collapse, it even caused the fatal feather sword that could heavily injure a Fifth Grade Sovereign expert to shatter under his fist!
Numerous experts in the surroundings cried out in surprise. This Lu Kui really wasn't easy to deal with!
After destroying the feather sword with a fist, Lu Kui's aura had reached the pinnacle as he looked at Mu Chen with a sinister smile. "Ignorant brat, do you think that you can defeat me like this?!"
Mu Chen looked at Lu Kui, who had an astonishing aura. Not only was he not startled, he even smiled with interest. Thereafter, he gently nodded his head and spat out a mouthful of white mist as he muttered, "Come out …"
When his voice landed, the boundless Jiu You Battle Will behind him violently boiled at this moment. In the depths of the Battle Will, there seemed to be something that was quietly breaking out of its shell.
A bizarre fluctuation started to spread out.
The first to sense the fluctuation was Lu Kui. Thus, his aura had practically collapsed in an instant. His sinister face was filled with paleness as he looked at the boiling Jiu You Battle Will with fear. His scalp felt a little numb, as if he had seen a ghost.
"How is that possible?!"
