On the plaza, Jiang Ya and Qin Xuan, who were seated, had raised their heads. However, their gazes had only cast a glance at Mu Chen, before they unnoticeably cast their eyes aside.
Mu Chen actually did not choose the second path, which was a little surprising. But … if he thought that there would be a chance of survival in the second path, then he was truly too naïve.
Jiang Ya and Qin Xuan did not pay any attention to Mu Chen, but looked in the direction of Patriarch Tian Huang. The latter's eyes were slightly drooped as he faintly said, "Since he has issued a challenge, then the two of you can make a move."
Hearing Patriarch Tian Huang's words, Jiang Ya and Qin Xuan's expressions slightly changed. That's because the former actually wanted the two of them to make a move?
That brat's cultivation was only at the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, was he worthy for the two of them to make a move?
"Qin Xuan, you lost to me by half a move. This time, you can make the first move."
Jiang Ya looked at Qin Xuan with a smile-yet-not-a-smile expression, as if he wasn't interested in this matter. Although Patriarch Tian Huang's words were ambiguous, as if it wasn't against the rules for the two of them to make a move against Mu Chen at the same time, Jiang Ya had never thought about it.
What a joke, if the two of them had to make a move against a human brat that was only at the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, then even if they won, there wouldn't be anything worth praising about.
Hearing his words, Qin Xuan's eyelids twitched and his expression was a little unsightly. Previously, Jiang Ya was just a little lucky. If they were to continue fighting, even if the two of them were to give it their all, it wouldn't be easy for a victor to be determined. But that fellow actually wanted to take advantage of them …
Although he was unhappy in his heart, Qin Xuan wasn't interested in arguing with Jiang Ya. After all, he truly couldn't stand the sight of Mu Chen. Amongst the younger generations of the Jiu You Sparrow Clan, there were many that had a favourable impression of Jiu You, and he was one of them.
Therefore, he did not have a good impression of Mu Chen, who had tainted Jiu You's bloodline.
Many thoughts flashed across Qin Xuan's heart. Shortly after, he slowly walked out under the countless gazes of the Dao Clan and stopped a hundred feet in front of Mu Chen.
Qin Xuan stood in front of Mu Chen and looked at Mu Chen for the first time. He said calmly, "If I were you, I would stay here for ten years. Maybe I would be smarter."
"Thank you for your advice."
Mu Chen did not seem to hear the disdain in the other party's words. Instead, he gave a faint and serious smile. After which, he cupped his hands together once again and said, "Please enlighten me."
"You don't know how to appreciate my kindness."
When Qin Xuan saw how casual Mu Chen was, he couldn't help knitting his brows and a smear of rage rose in his heart. Immediately, he no longer spoke and abruptly took a step forth. Instantly, a powerful Spiritual Energy burst out from his body like a storm. That Spiritual Energy contained an extremely cold energy. The moment it burst out, even the temperature in this region had swiftly dropped.
A visible layer of frost swiftly spread out beneath Qin Xuan's feet. In just a few breaths' time, it had covered a portion of the plaza …
Sensing the powerful Spiritual Energy that burst out from Qin Xuan's body, Mu Chen had slightly narrowed his eyes. Back then, what Elder Tianque had said was true. Qin Xuan's strength was indeed stronger than Liu Qing.
If Liu Qing was at the pinnacle of the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, then Qin Xuan had probably come in contact with the Seventh Grade Sovereign Realm. His strength was even stronger than Sixth Grade Sovereigns.
If Mu Chen did not break through to the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm in the past two months, just the Spiritual Energy pressure alone would be enough to restrain him.
But … it was a pity that along with his breakthrough, his strength had also greatly improved compared to two months ago!
At this moment, Mu Chen's gaze swiftly turned sharp, no longer having the gentleness from before. Both of his hands hung down by his side, his body was as straight as a spear. As he stood there, a sharp aura spread out from him.
The space behind him slightly distorted and his Sovereign Sea vaguely appeared. Spiritual Energy fluctuations spread out and the frost within a hundred feet of Mu Chen had swiftly melted.
"Oh?
Looks like you do have some cards up your sleeves … "
Sensing the Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from Mu Chen's body, Qin Xuan faintly smiled. He gently flicked his finger and countless snowflakes fell from this region.
Boom!
In the next instant, Qin Xuan's body suddenly exploded, turning into snowflakes that whistled out.
In that instant when his silhouette disappeared, Mu Chen abruptly narrowed his eyes and immediately retreated. A dazzling golden light burst out from his body and flowed under his skin, making him look like a golden body.
Whoosh!
When Mu Chen's silhouette burst in retreat in an attempt to escape from the snowflakes, the falling speed of the snowflakes behind him suddenly sped up, before abruptly gathering together and a figure mysteriously appeared.
Rustle!
As the snowflakes fell, an extremely cold light tore through space and swiftly tapped towards Mu Chen's back like a bolt of lightning.
The attack was extremely swift. Facing such an attack that appeared and disappeared mysteriously, even Mu Chen couldn't turn around to defend himself. He could only allow the cold light to heavily land on his back.
Poof!
The cold light condensed and formed into a slender finger with snowflakes falling on it. A sharp cold aura quietly spread out, as if it could pierce through space.
Qin Xuan appeared behind Mu Chen and maintained the posture of his two fingers pointing out as he watched a layer of frost spreading out from Mu Chen's back. Swiftly, a layer of ice appeared and was about to cover Mu Chen's body. The moment he was covered, then Mu Chen would be completely trapped and his life would be in Qin Xuan's hands.
Succeeding with a single attack, Qin Xuan shook his head in disappointment. "What a weakling …"
Boom!
But in that instant, when he finished speaking, the golden light on the surface of Mu Chen's body blossomed like a blazing sun. As the golden light swept out, the layers of frost immediately crumbled.
The sudden change caused Qin Xuan to be slightly startled. But before he could unleash his attack, he sensed an extremely overbearing energy being transmitted from his fingertip that was in contact with Mu Chen's back.
Vaguely, he could see a purple-gold dragon rune flash across Mu Chen's back.
Boom!
The massive energy had immediately sent Qin Xuan flying back. In that instant when he was retreating, a golden light swept over and Mu Chen was like a dragon charging over, throwing a palm towards Qin Xuan's chest. Under that palm, a terrifying energy gathered, causing even space to fluctuate.
"You're courting death by fighting me with your physical body!"
But Qin Xuan wasn't the slightest bit alarmed by Mu Chen's ferocious attack. Instead, he coldly sneered. He was a Divine Beast, after all. The strength of his physical body far surpassed ordinary experts of the same level. But not only did Mu Chen not widen the distance between them, he even dared to charge at him. In his view, Mu Chen was simply courting death.
This was also what the clansmen of the Nine Netherbird Clan were thinking in their hearts. When they saw this scene, a mocking smile appeared on the corner of their lips.
Boom!
Qin Xuan's palms were like eagle claws as snowflakes appeared on his fingertips. The snowflakes rapidly spun and even tore space apart.
As the golden palm whistled over, it clashed with Qin Xuan's snowflake claw.
Boom!
In that instant of collision, the bodies of Mu Chen and Qin Xuan clearly trembled. However, Mu Chen's expression was calm. After all, he had placed great importance on Qin Xuan. But Qin Xuan wasn't the same. Not to mention ordinary Sixth Grade Sovereigns, even pinnacle level Sixth Grade Sovereigns would have their flesh torn apart by his sharp claw. But in this clash, he felt as if his claw had clashed against a piece of metal. The toughness made his fingertips feel pain instead.
"This fellow's physical body is actually so powerful?!"
Qin Xuan's heart trembled as he felt disbelief. He was a genuine Divine Beast that could shatter mountains with every single move he made. But right now, he actually couldn't gain the upper hand against a Sixth Grade Sovereign human?
"I don't believe that you can hold on for long!"
A cold light flickered in Qin Xuan's eyes. He could only think that Mu Chen was holding on forcefully. Immediately, the Spiritual Energy in his body violently exploded and the claw brought along snowflakes and afterimages as it swept towards Mu Chen.
Boom!
Boom!
However, facing Qin Xuan's sharp attacks, Mu Chen's youthful face had a sharp expression. He did not have any intention of retreating. Space fluctuated behind him and his Sovereign Sea appeared. At the same time, the golden light on his body grew even more dazzling, so much so that even his pupils had turned golden.
It was the sign of him circulating the Dragon-Phoenix Physique to the limits.
Even if Qin Xuan had the physique of a Divine Beast, he had also cultivated his physical body for many years. Not only had he achieved greater mastery in the Lightning God's Physique back then, he had also cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Physique. So even if he was facing a genuine Divine Beast, he wouldn't have any fear.
How could Mu Chen not know how many gazes of disdain he had received ever since he came to the Jiu You Sparrow Clan? Since that's the case, then he would defeat all of you in the place that you're the most proud of!
A sharp gaze shot out from Mu Chen's eyes, which made his gaze look like a blade. In the next instant, his palm had also swept out and clashed with Qin Xuan's attack once again.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
On the square, two figures collided together like a storm. Each time they collided, a low and deep sound would be emitted. The wild and violent force that rippled apart from the collision actually formed a shockwave that was visible to the naked eye. It shook the space around the two until it became distorted.
In the surroundings of the plaza, countless gazes looked at the two silhouettes that clashed like two barbaric beasts. The ridicule in their eyes had started to dissipate and their mouths were widened from shock.
That's because they could clearly see that the frail human body did not shrink back in this ferocious battle. On the contrary, he was even more ferocious under the impact!
Mu Chen actually managed to obstruct Qin Xuan with the power of his physical body?
How was that possible?!
Boom!
Under countless disbelieving gazes, the two silhouettes in the plaza had brewed to the limits and their fists, which contained terrifying power, heavily clashed together.
Shock waves erupted, causing cracks to appear on the ground.
The two silhouettes were also shot out from the impact. Two deep marks were torn on the ground and their feet had sunk into the hard limestone.
Countless gazes in the surroundings had completely froze at this moment. Shortly after, gasps rang out. Who could have imagined that Qin Xuan, with the body of a Divine Beast, was actually unable to obtain the slightest advantage against Mu Chen in a head-on clash of physical bodies!
Obviously, this human youth that they had looked down on before had a physical body so strong that it was comparable to the body of a real divine beast!
Such strength was simply dumbfounding.
Outside the battlefield, Jiang Ya's eyes slightly narrowed when he saw this scene. Shortly after, he faintly smiled and muttered, "Finally, it's a little interesting. However, it's far from enough to snatch the quota from our hands …"
"Reveal yourself. Let me see if you have the qualifications to receive the quota of my Jiu You Sparrow Clan!"
