Boom!
A palm that was as boundless as the ocean, along with boundless Spiritual Energy, descended from the sky like a mountain, enveloping towards Mu Chen. Such a thunderous attack was sufficient to make any expert in the Five Sovereigns feel their souls leaving their bodies.
The killing intent that the burly man had for Mu Chen had clearly reached the peak at this moment.
The palm of Spiritual Energy reflected a dense ferocious light in Mu Chen's eyes. Facing the burly man, although Mu Chen was startled, there wasn't the slightest fear on his face. That's because, at this moment, he had borrowed the power of the Jiu You Battle Will and his strength had already reached a terrifying level.
With this power, the six Sovereigns that he couldn't match up to weren't that hard to deal with at this moment.
Liiii!
Mu Chen formed seals with both of his hands and the Spirit of Jiu You Battle Will beneath his feet released a long cry towards the sky. The complicated runes on his body started to wriggle and spread towards Mu Chen's body at an astonishing speed.
In just a brief moment, the surface of Mu Chen's skin was covered in those runes.
Boom!
A dazzling lustre abruptly shot out from Mu Chen's eyes as he roared towards the sky. His roar was filled with boundless Battle Will. As the Battle Will surged, it formed into visible waves that swept out in this region.
Mu Chen's eyes were boiling. At this moment, there seemed to be innumerable ferocious beasts roaring and galloping in his body, bringing along a destructive power that far exceeded his own. It was the Battle Will of the Jiu You Guard.
An ordinary commander could only control the Battle Will like a Divine Artifact, but they wouldn't dare to casually absorb it into their body. That's because the Battle Will was extremely violent and had fused with the will of countless warriors. If they were to casually absorb it into their body, they might lose control of it.
They might even explode in an instant.
Only when the Battle Will was formed into a Spirit of Battle Will, could they achieve a fine control over the Battle Will and absorb it into their body.
Temporarily turning it into his own strength.
Naturally, Mu Chen still couldn't achieve that perfectly. Thus, when the Battle Will poured into his body, his body was trembling. If it wasn't for the Dragon-Phoenix Physique that gave him a powerful physique, just the surging Battle Will in his body would be enough to make him suffer.
"It's not as easy as you think to kill me!"
Mu Chen let out a low roar.
Similarly, he threw a palm forth. There wasn't any tricks in this palm, but he had brought out his own strength and surging Battle Will, causing the might of that palm to shatter space.
When Lu Wu saw Mu Chen's momentum, he felt a chill run down his spine.
His expression also changed, but soon after, his expression suddenly stiffened. This was because he realized that Mu Chen's palm wind did not show any signs of blocking his attack. Instead, it directly attacked his chest.
This change had instantly caused Lu Wu's eyelids to twitch. He never expected this.
Facing his killing attack, Mu Chen did not put up any defensive measures. On the contrary, Mu Chen was even more ferocious than him!
"You're courting death!"
However, Lu Wu was also a ruthless person. Facing Mu Chen and Jiu You's attacks, he knew that he couldn't escape unscathed. Thus, a ferocious light flickered in his eyes.
Similarly, there wasn't any hesitation as the boundless gale shattered space and swiftly landed on Mu Chen's chest like a bolt of lightning.
Just when his palm wind was about to land on Mu Chen's body, a golden lustre blossomed on Mu Chen's body.
The Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour that seemed to be forged from gold appeared. At the same time, the True Dragon Spirit had also started to swim on his chest, unleashing a deep roar. The golden lustre had turned into layers of dragon scales that covered Mu Chen's body.
All of his defences had exploded in that instant. At the same time, Mu Chen's palm, which was filled with violent Battle Will, had also slammed against Lu Wu's chest.
Boom!
A violent Spiritual Energy rippled out like a tidal wave with spatial cracks spreading out from the palm wind. Mu Chen's figure trembled as he was shot down and shot into the ground. A thousand-foot radius of the ground had crumbled as huge cracks swiftly spread out.
When Mu Chen was slammed into the ground, Lu Wu's situation wasn't any better. Mu Chen's palm wasn't any weaker than his. Thus, when that palm fell, Lu Wu's chest had caved in and he spat out mouthfuls of blood along with his shattered organs as his body shot out like a cannonball.
Poof!
Just as Liu Wu's body flew backward, a black-feathered sword suddenly pierced through his chest from behind. Purple flames burned on the feather sword.
Arghhh!
A mournful shriek resounded from Lu Wu's mouth as he turned his head with a sinister expression. He saw Jiu You standing behind him with a cold expression as she constantly controlled the Undying Flames to burn his body.
"If you want to exchange your life, then leave your life behind!" Jiu You coldly said with rage surging in her eyes.
Lu Wu's body trembled with dense fear surging in his eyes. He knew that if he allowed Jiu You to use the Undying Flames to burn him, then he would definitely die here today.
"I'll fight it out with you guys!"
Lu Wu roared as he formed seals with both of his hands. His body swiftly expanded as a terrifying Spiritual Energy fluctuation spread out.
Seeing this, Jiu You's face changed as she immediately pulled out her sword and retreated.
Boom!
Lu Wu's body exploded and a greyish-black Spiritual Energy formed into a magnificent firework in the sky. Although it was beautiful, it was filled with a chilling destructive intent.
Although Jiu You swiftly retreated, she was still affected by it and a smear of blood appeared on her rosy lips.
When the other people in this area saw this, they were so shocked that their faces turned pale. Obviously, no one had expected that Lu Wu would actually be forced to self-destruct … That was a genuine Sixth Sovereign!
A few minutes ago, Lu Wu was still calmly sitting on the fishing platform, but a few minutes later, he self-destructed. The change in the situation left everyone dumbfounded.
Hovering in the distant sky, Jiu You looked at the violent Spiritual Energy storm and suddenly narrowed her eyes. A grey light suddenly streaked across the sky and swiftly charged into the swamp that Lu Wu had fallen from.
Thereafter, the grey light swept up a figure that was in a pathetic state and in a few breaths' time, it had already disappeared into the horizon.
That grey light was naturally Lu Wu's Spirit.
Borrowing the remaining power from the self-destruction, he managed to rescue Lu Wu. However, he was powerless against the remaining Serpent Troop and could only escape with Lu Wu.
When the Serpent Troop saw that Lu Wu had abandoned them, their morale plummeted and they scattered in all directions. They no longer had the fighting intent that they had at the beginning.
If those warriors could form an army, then they would naturally be able to burst forth with great power.
However, once they lost their will to fight, they would instantly return to their original state. In this Fallen Battlefield, where danger lurked in every corner, their fates had already been decided. So, when faced with their escape, they had no choice but to flee.
Therefore, Jiu You only took a glance before retracting her gaze. She did not waste any effort to obstruct them.
Her silhouette moved and descended towards the location where Mu Chen had fallen with a smear of worry flashing across her eyes. After all, the might of Lu Wu's desperate attack was enough to instantly kill any Fifth Sovereign.
Whoosh!
But just as Jiu You was about to descend to check on Mu Chen's condition.
A streak of light suddenly shot out from the incomparably huge pit, and finally landed in the sky with some stagger.
The moment that figure appeared, everyone in the sky cast their gazes over.
Everyone directed their gazes over and saw Mu Chen, who was up in the sky, with his clothes completely tattered and traces of blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.
Even his body was covered in blood, and hideous scars extended from his chest. It was a ghastly sight.
Hiss.
They couldn't help sucking in a breath of cold air when they saw Mu Chen's hideous injuries. But what shocked them even more was that …
Mu Chen didn't seem to care about the serious injuries on his body.
"Are you alright?"
Jiu You quickly appeared beside Mu Chen and looked at Mu Chen's terrifying scars. Her brows couldn't help twitching.
"He's still too inexperienced if he wants to fight me."
Mu Chen wiped the traces of blood off the corner of his lips as he grinned. He tore off the torn clothes on his body and a golden lustre could be vaguely seen on the sinister wounds. As the golden lustre flickered, the terrifying wounds could be seen recovering at a visible rate.
When Nine Nether saw this scene, she felt heavily relieved. She had forgotten that Mu Chen was a monster in human form. It was no wonder why he dared to exchange his life with Lu Wu. So it turned out that he was relying on the powerful regenerative ability of his physical body.
Lu Wu would never have imagined that the injuries that he thought were enough to gravely injure Mu Chen weren't as terrifying as he had imagined.
Mu Chen lowered his head and saw that the True Dragon Spirit beneath his chest had dimmed a little. Evidently, it wasn't easy for him to receive Lu Wu's palm. If it wasn't for the Dragon-Phoenix Golden Armour, the True Dragon Spirit, and the protection of the boundless Battle Will, Lu Wu's palm would have been enough to kill him.
The Six Sovereigns weren't easy to deal with. If it wasn't for the Battle Will of the Jiu You Guard, Mu Chen would have no choice but to avoid them.
The injuries on Mu Chen's body swiftly recovered as he exchanged a glance with Nine Nether. Thereafter, their gazes were fixed onto those that were still in this region.
When those people saw the two of them directing their gazes over, they couldn't help shivering. Initially, they wanted to watch the tigers fight, but judging from the current situation, it seemed that Mu Chen and Jiu You still possessed powerful fighting prowess. Especially when the morale of the Jiu You Guard was still high.
The situation had already fallen into the control of the Jiu You Palace.
Everyone looked at each other and sighed inwardly. After that, they stopped hesitating and retreated in succession.
When Mu Chen and Jiu You saw that those people had retreated, they felt relieved. Although those people weren't as strong as the Dragon Serpent Sect, it would still be troublesome if a battle broke out. So it was naturally for the best that they could retreat.
The two of them waited until all the people had left before casting their heated gazes towards the faintly discernible hall in the depths of the swamp. From now on, this super remnant would belong to them.
