"Liu Zong?!"
Zhou Ye and Lei Shan stared at the figure that appeared beside Yang Gui. Their expressions slightly changed and their eyes immediately turned serious. It seems that today's matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"The one supporting Mang Yin Mountain is indeed the Liu Territory!"
Zhou Ye's face was a bit gloomy. Killing intent surged in his eyes: "Then, they suddenly attacked my Mu Territory because of the Liu Territory's instructions, right?"
"Ohoho, I saw that the Mu Territory was so proud recently, so I wanted to knock some sense into you. However, I never expected that Brother Yang Gui would not hold back and would actually kill them." Liu Zong smiled faintly and said.
Zhou Ye's eyes were gloomy as he clenched his fists tightly.
"Since you have come today, I don't think you should leave. Zhou Ye, you are Mu Feng's right-hand man. If I were to kill you here, the Mu Territory would suffer a great loss."
Liu Zong acted as if he did not see Zhou Ye's gloomy gaze. With a wave of his hand, the sound of wind breaking could be heard coming from within the stronghold. After that, one figure after another leaped onto the walls of the stronghold. The leader was the Liu Territory's Third Master, Liu Ming.
It seemed that Liu Zong had brought a lot of elite troops to Mang Yin Mountain to wait for the Mu Territory's arrival.
"Leader Lei, get ready to attack!"
Zhou Ye said in a low tone. Although the situation was somewhat unexpected, it was obvious that they could not retreat at this time. They could only fight to the death with Mang Yin Mountain and the Liu Territory.
Lei Shan clearly understood this point. The Liu Territory had already made it clear that they wanted to cooperate with Mang Yin Mountain. If they did not deal with Mang Yin Mountain today, the next one to be destroyed would be their Nine Dragon City.
"Attack!"
A cold light flashed through Lei Shan's eyes. He immediately waved his hand and a shout filled with killing intent resounded.
"Leave Liu Zong to me."
A powerful Spiritual Energy swept out from Zhou Ye's body as he stared at Liu Zong. The latter was a Spirit Stage Middle Phase powerhouse and was extremely powerful. Even he could barely hold him back.
Lei Shan nodded. Both sides had two Spirit Stage powerhouses. However, it seemed that the other side had the advantage. Today, there would be a tough battle.
"Liu Zong, get over here!"
Zhou Ye took a step forward, and a tyrannical Spiritual Energy condensed behind him, faintly transforming into a huge brown light rhinoceros. A heavy feeling of power rippled out, and the ground he was standing on collapsed a lot at this moment.
"Zhou Ye, do you really think you're my match?!"
Liu Zong coldly laughed as dense Spiritual Energy condensed behind him, transforming into a giant green scorpion. The tip of the giant scorpion's tail flickered with a green light as a fishy smell spread out.
"Dong!"
However, Zhou Ye did not pay any attention to him. His body shot out like a bolt of lightning. The giant rhinoceros behind him also started to gallop. It was as if the earth was trembling at this moment. That kind of terrifying power was quite astonishing.
Shua!
Liu Zong let out a cold snort as his figure dashed forward. With a wave of his hand, the sharp tail of the giant dark green scorpion behind him viciously pierced towards Zhou Ye.
When the two vigorous Spiritual Energies collided, the resulting shockwave immediately swept out, causing the surrounding forest to sway and sway.
"Kill!"
When Lei Shan saw Zhou Ye take action, he let out a roar as his Spiritual Energy condensed behind him, transforming into a golden armored beast. This armored beast was like a giant rat as its entire body was covered with golden scales. It was like a layer of armor that was dazzling and sturdy.
Mu Chen took a glance at the golden armored beast and recognized it in his heart. The Golden Armored Pangolin, ranked one hundred and sixty-eighth on the Myriad Beast Record's Earth Ranking. It was said that it had the ability to pierce through mountains.
"Haha, Lei Shan, we haven't fought for so many years. Let me see how much you've improved!"
When Yang Gui saw this, he laughed out loud. Dense Spiritual Energy surged as a giant silver dog with a crescent moon pattern on its body condensed behind him.
The Silver Moon Hound, ranked one hundred and seventy-seventh on the Myriad Beast Record's Earth Ranking. It had an extremely sensitive sense of smell and no movement within a hundred mile radius could escape its nose.
Lei Shan and Yang Gui rushed out as the two of them fiercely collided. Both of them were extremely ruthless as violent Spiritual Energy shockwaves spread out, causing layers of dust to rise from the ground.
"Kill!"
Since the leaders of both sides had already taken action, they naturally did not have any more reservations. Their eyes turned red as they roared out. Figure after figure surged out like a tidal wave as they filled the air towards the mountain stronghold.
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Violent Spiritual Energy constantly erupted on the mountain peak. As far as the eye could see, there was a myriad of colors that appeared extremely gorgeous. However, under that kind of beauty, was a true bloody battle.
Mu Chen had also charged into the crowd. His movement technique was like a specter as golden light surged between his fingers. It was like a sharp golden spear. Every time a sharp gust of wind from his fingers, blood would splatter and miserable shrieks would ring out.
Mu Chen, who had activated the Shadowspirit Step and the Spirit Emperor Finger, clearly possessed an extremely powerful killing power.
"Little bastard, you're courting death!"
However, just as Mu Chen was rampaging and unstoppable, a violent roar exploded in his ears. Soon after, an extremely astonishing fist wind swept out, causing cracks to appear on the ground.
"Liu Ming?"
Mu Chen raised his head to look at the figure that was pouncing towards him as he coldly laughed. In the Northern Spiritual Field, this Liu Ming was considered to be difficult to defend against in his eyes. However, at this moment, he was merely so-so.
Faced with Liu Ming's fierce attack, Mu Chen did not dodge at all. Instead, his fingers turned into fists as he sent a punch out. Two Limitless Death Seals surfaced on the surface of his fists as an overbearing gale erupted.
Bang!
The two fists collided head-on as air waves surged. The dozen people that were nearby were directly sent flying as they vomited blood.
As the air waves spread out, Mu Chen's figure trembled as he retreated a few steps. As for Liu Ming, who was pouncing towards him, he tumbled in the air as he landed on the ground. His face was extremely gloomy.
"Little bastard, you've indeed become powerful!"
Liu Ming said as he gnashed his teeth. Previously, he did not even place Mu Chen in his eyes. However, now that they were fighting again, he was actually not the slightest bit inferior to him.
"It's you who's too useless." Mu Chen coldly laughed.
"Then, this Third Master will tear you apart today!"
Liu Ming angrily laughed as he pushed the Spiritual Energy in his body to the limit. He swiftly swept towards Mu Chen like a bolt of lightning as he ruthlessly clawed at him.
Upon seeing this, Mu Chen activated his Shadowspirit Steps and retreated like a ghost. With a wave of his sleeve, the air fluctuated as a small Spiritual Array appeared. Rays of Spiritual Energy light wrapped around Liu Ming's body.
With his current ability, it was almost an easy task to set up this small Spiritual Array.
Bang Bang.
However, this small Spiritual Array was obviously unable to cause much obstruction to an opponent of Liu Ming's strength. The Spiritual Energy in his body burst out and directly broke the bindings as he ridiculed, "I already said that you're a Spiritual Array Master. Why do you only have these little things?"
"Then, I'll prepare a big one for you!"
Mu Chen's eyes were ice-cold as dozens of Spiritual Seals quickly appeared on his palms.
"Hmph."
Upon seeing this, Liu Ming's heart suddenly trembled. He did not dare to be careless as his figure rushed out. Although the Spiritual Array set up by a Spiritual Array Master was extremely powerful, it required a lot of preparation time. As long as he got close, the Spiritual Array Master would not have much resistance.
"Swish Swish."
However, Mu Chen clearly saw through his thoughts. He immediately activated his Shadowspirit Steps to the limit and transformed into numerous blurry shadows, making Liu Ming unable to catch him.
"Brat, do you only know how to dodge?!"
Liu Ming was furious. Mu Chen's movement was too graceful. It was obvious that he had cultivated an extraordinary movement Spiritual Art. Even after activating his Spiritual Energy to the limit, he was still unable to completely catch Mu Chen.
"Swish."
Just as he shouted, Mu Chen's figure suddenly stopped. However, before Liu Ming could rejoice, his expression changed drastically as he saw the air behind Mu Chen fluctuate violently. A large fiery red Spiritual Array slowly emerged as a wave of berserk Spiritual Energy was emitted.
"Damn it, how can this guy set up a Spiritual Array so quickly?!"
Liu Ming's face twitched. It was not that he had not fought with a Spiritual Array Master before, but it was the first time he had seen a Spiritual Array Master that could set up such a powerful Spiritual Array at such a speed.
"Devouring Tiger Flame Array!"
Mu Chen did not give Liu Ming too much time to be shocked as he coldly stared at the latter. Soon after, his hand seals changed and a tiger's roar suddenly erupted from the fiery red Spiritual Array. A huge flaming tiger carried a berserk and blazing Spiritual Energy as it charged towards Liu Ming.
"Netherworld Ghost Claw!"
Feeling the ferocious charge of the flaming tiger, Liu Ming did not dare to be negligent as he hurriedly activated all of his Spiritual Energy. With a shout, he slapped out with his hand. Surging Spiritual Energy transformed into a glowing palm and fiercely collided with the flaming tiger.
[Unparalleled Tang Sect Text]
Bang!
Berserk Spiritual Energy swept out and the rocks on the ground were all shattered into powder.
Whoosh!
However, just as Liu Ming was trying his best to defend against the berserk flaming tiger, a blurry figure cut in from the side like a ghost. Two of its fingers were bent and a dazzling golden light flashed on its fingertips as it mercilessly went straight for Liu Ming's throat.
This attack was too unexpected. Liu Ming was caught off guard and could only slap out with his palm.
Chi!
The golden light was like an extremely sharp spear as it heavily struck Liu Ming's palm. The sharpness exploded and directly pierced through Liu Ming's palm, causing blood to spurt out.
Ah!
A miserable scream came out from Liu Ming's mouth as his body flew backwards in a sorry state. He held onto his palm that was full of blood with a horrified expression on his face.
Mu Chen stared coldly at Liu Ming. However, he did not give him any time to recover as he charged forward again.
"Stop him!" Seeing this, Liu Ming hurriedly shouted.
When the surrounding men from the Liu Territory heard this, they quickly charged towards Mu Chen. However, they were quickly stopped by the men from the Mu Territory.
The figures in front of him were in a mess. Mu Chen glanced at Liu Ming, who was retreating hastily. He did not have the intention to chase after Liu Ming. Instead, he retreated to the center of the Mu Territory and Nine Dragon City's men. He frowned as he looked at the two battles in the air.
Lei Shan and Yang Gui were both powerhouses at the Spirit Stage Initial Phase. It was difficult to determine the outcome of the battle. However, Liu Zong was at the Spirit Stage Middle Phase and was slightly stronger than Zhou Ye. If this battle continued, it was obvious that Zhou Ye would be the first to be defeated.
Once Zhou Ye was defeated, it would cause a chain reaction. Once it affected Lei Shan, the two Spirit Stage powerhouses on their side would be defeated. No matter how much of an advantage they had, it would be of no use.
Therefore, they had to think of a way to defeat the opposing Spirit Stage powerhouse first.
Mu Chen's eyes flashed. He immediately turned his head and looked at Lei Yin and the others: "Can you protect me for a while?"
"What are you going to do?"
Lei Yin's face was a bit uneasy. She had seen how Mu Chen used a Spiritual Array to deal with Liu Ming. The speed at which he arranged a Spiritual Array was not something she could compare to.
"I want to help your father kill Yang Gui first." Mu Chen said in a deep voice.
Lei Yin was shocked. She looked at Mu Chen with a strange expression and said: "They are both powerhouses at the Spirit Stage. If you want to threaten them, you must use a Rank 2 Spiritual Array. You're only a Rank 1 Spiritual Array Master right now, right?"
"I'll give it a try."
Mu Chen took a deep breath. He clenched his hand and a Jaded Essence Fruit appeared in his hand. This was the last one he had left. With his current Spiritual Energy, he would need some external help if he wanted to form 20 Spiritual Seals.
He did not hesitate to stuff the Jaded Essence Fruit into his mouth. Then, he slowly closed his eyes under Lei Yin's shocked gaze. She was shocked to see Spiritual Seals appear on Mu Chen's fingertips one after another.
There was a total of 20 Spiritual Seals!
