The Great Ruler

“Leave it to you?” When Mu Chen said that, Wen Qingxuan, Wen Ziyu, and the rest looked at him with some doubt. Mu Chen had not displayed much of his skill throughout the journey, so they had not expected him to volunteer to intercept the two Complete Earthly Sovereigns from the opposing team. After all, Mu Chen was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign!

“Can you do it?” Wen Qingxuan could not help but ask. Her intuition told her that Mu Chen had been hiding his true capabilities, however, she thought Mu Chen could probably go up against one Complete Earthly Sovereign but not two.

“Never ask a man that question,” said Mu Chen while throwing a grin at Wen Qingxuan.

Wen Qingxuan was stunned, and then her pretty face turned red. She stared at Mu Chen with an irked expression and scolded, “Do you want to die?!”

Mu Chen laughed. After the atmosphere had eased up, he looked at Ling Xi and said, “Sister Ling Xi, I’ll leave that Wu Tong to you first. You just need to stall him.”

Wu Tong was a strong opponent, and apparently, he could be even more powerful than the usual Complete Earthly Sovereign. Even if Ling Xi were to fight with him, she might not win. However, given the profound ability of the Spiritual Array Master, it should not be difficult to stall him.

“Sure.” Ling Xi nodded. She drew her hands out from her long sleeves. Spiritual light flickered non-stop as she formed countless Spiritual Seals.

“Leave that Dong Shan to me!” said Wen Ziyu. Previously, he was not a match for Dong Shan because he was only a Half Step to Complete Earthly Sovereign. With the powering-up from Wen Qingxuan, he was not any weaker than a Complete Earthly Sovereign now.

Mu Chen said, “Luo Li, you lead the rest of the powerhouses from the Wen family and stop everyone else.”

Luo Li nodded. Apart from Wu Tong, Dong Shan, and the other two Wu warriors, the two teams from the opposite side only had Upper Earthly Sovereigns. Blocking them would not be difficult, given their abilities.

“Go, now!” After assigning their individual opponents, Mu Chen did not hesitate. His smiling eyes instantly sharpened. The next moment, he tapped his feet and beamed into a flash of light.

Mu Chen struck in the air with a palm. The powerful spiritual energy enveloped the two Wu warriors with red eyes.

“You ignorant fellow, how dare you challenge Wu’s two top-notch warriors alone?” Wu Tong was slightly stunned at first, but a mocking smile slowly surfaced on his cold face.

The two Wu warriors were emotionless. They were only left with their killing instinct. Once they entered battle mode, they would not stop killing until their enemies were torn apart.

Even a strong Complete Earthly Sovereign would be in a terrible fix when facing this type of killing machine, but Mu Chen, who was only an Upper Earthly Sovereign, attempted to challenge two of them at once. To Wu Tong, this was as good as courting his own death.

Dong Shan shook his head in disappointment. He wanted to apprehend Mu Chen so that he could torture him to death, but now, he might not even leave with a corpse.

Roar!

When Mu Chen’s spiritual energy enveloped the two Wu’s warriors, they immediately reacted to it. They let out a roar from their throats filled with killing intent. Harsh and fearsome spiritual energy fluctuations exploded frantically.

Boom!

The two mini giants charged like two raging beasts. They threw themselves fearlessly directly at Mu Chen. If any of the strong Complete Earthly Sovereigns were hit by such an intense assault, they would spit out a mouthful of blood and retreat.

Seeing that the two Wu warriors were rushing aggressively towards him, Mu Chen stopped his forward move abruptly and quickly retreated backwards. Apparently, he wanted to avoid taking a direct hit.

Roar!

The two Wu warriors immediately followed up. As they battered with their fists, the bloody spiritual energy seemed to turn into a tangible force. With an intense amount of killing intent, they struck forcefully at Mu Chen. Under their immense attacks, Mu Chen could only dodge and avoid them.

Wu Tong, Dong Shan, and the rest of them sneered even more. At first, they thought Mu Chen had some capability, and that was why he dared to challenge the two Wu warriors. But judging from the current situation, it would not take too long before he was crushed into pulp.

“Settle them.” Wu Tong raised his palm and dropped it gently. He looked coldly at Wen Qingxuan and the rest.

Boom!

The various powerhouses from the two teams behind him exploded with strong spiritual energy. The next moment, many figures charged towards Wen Qingxuan and the rest of her teammates.

“Can Mu Chen handle them?” Wen Qingxuan asked again, as she was a little worried seeing Mu Chen losing ground.

“Don’t worry. He is not someone who brags.” Luo Li consoled her with a smile. She then gave a nod to the many powerhouses from the Wen family. Immediately, those figures charged and blocked the incoming attacks from the opposing team.

“I hope nothing will happen to Brother Mu.” Wen Ziyu sighed, as they could not help Mu Chen now, even if they wanted to. Consequently, he quickly focused his attention. Wen Ziyu flashed and blocked Dong Shan’s way by showing up in front of him.

“Heh, you? Do you think you can stop me?!” Dong Shan could not help but give a nasty grin when he looked at Wen Ziyu. He exuded intense killing desire that froze the surrounding air into ice.

During his years of wandering in the Holy Gulf Continent, Dong Shan had gone through countless deathmatches. He had rich experience in combat. The usual powerhouses would not dare to take him on, as they were taken aback by his fearsome demeanor.

However, Wen Ziyu was the supreme talent from the Wen family, after all. With a solemn look, he circulated the spiritual energy in his body without any reservation. He held out his hand, and a long, black sword appeared in his grip. Countless ancient light runes surfaced on the sword, emitting an extremely fierce aura.

The longsword was a High Grade Sacred Object. With the sword in his hand, Wen Ziyu gradually calmed himself down. His gaze was as sharp as a knife as he locked onto Dong Shan.

“Hmph!” Dong Shan narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a cold snort. The High Grade Sacred Object was not a common thing. He had never had a chance to own one, even though he had been working hard for so many years. These fellows with a good family background sure pissed him off.

Dong Shan stretched out his hand and made a grab in the air. A blood-red saber appeared in his hand. The saber exuded a similar killing intent and bloody aura. This saber was also a sacred object, but it was only a Middle Grade Sacred Object.

Shua!

Dong Shan held the saber. The next moment, he forcefully wielded the saber with an endless killing aura against Wen Ziyu. Wen Ziyu immediately raised his sword and blocked the attack. A storm-like Spiritual Energy shockwave rippled out.

…

“You’re my opponent?” Battles had begun in the enormous karst cave. Wu Tong looked at Ling Xi and grinned. “What a beauty. How much did the Wen family pay you to help her? I can double it.”

Ling Xi only smiled at his mocking remarks. “Then tempt me with an attractive price, will you?”

Wu Tong chuckled, but the next moment, his eyes immediately turned cold. He charged like a flash of lightning. He swung his fist, and violent spiritual energy immediately transformed into a vast spiritual energy fist. The ultimate fierce fist struck forcefully at Ling Xi.

“Do you think I’m dumb, letting an Advance Spiritual Array Ancestral Master buy time?” Wu Tong was rather smart. He had seen through Ling Xi’s intentions. After all, a Spiritual Array Master would need time to prepare a robust spiritual array when they engaged in battle.

As the massive fist swept out, Ling Xi was rather composed. She flicked her finger gently, and the space in front of her began to twist. A spiritual array rose from the ground and transformed into a Spiritual Energy River. The river collided with the Spiritual Energy Fist.

Bang!

A loud thud was heard. The river was smashed into pieces, but the fragments of the river water covered the Spiritual Energy Fist like a sticky liquid. The liquid quickly eroded the fist into a stream of water.

“Nine Dragon Aquatic Spiritual Array!” The Spiritual Energy River gushed out, and Ling Xi changed her seal at once. The river rose in level, and the spiritual seals blinked in the air drawing out a profound array.

Roar!

A dragon’s roar could be heard as nine huge Aquatic Dragons charged towards Wu Tong, ready to sink their teeth into him.

“Hmph!” Wu Tong snorted. He put both palms together, then pushed forward at once. “Grand Super Power, Martial Divine Palm!”

Weng!

Nine golden palms swept out and gently slapped the nine Aquatic Dragons. Daunting energy spurted out, and the dragons dissolved into mist in the air. “How dare you show off in front of me with only this level of spiritual array?” Wu Tong sneered.

“Oh really?” Ling Xi smiled. She began to make even more complicated seals with her slender fingers. Before Wu Tong knew it, the Aquatic Dragons he had smashed turned into countless Spiritual Seals. The vast amount of spiritual seals merged into the air and formed a huge Black Liquid Spiritual Array. The spiritual array looked like a water dungeon. The dungeon encompassed the area, with Wu Tong trapped in the center. “Advance Ancestral Master’s Spiritual Array, Black Liquid Dungeon Spiritual Array!”

…

Boom!

Despite Mu Chen’s constant dodging and evasion, a Wu warrior finally got close to him. The harsh and fearsome fist transformed into a steamer, bashing hard towards Mu Chen’s head.

Crystal-like radiance surged in Mu Chen’s eyes, and a pagoda surfaced from it. The spiritual energy exploded from his body without any reservation.

Bang!

He swung out a fist and collided hard with the Wu warrior’s fist. Space burst, and the Wu warrior staggered back a few steps while Mu Chen took a dozen steps back. His fist was slightly reddened.

Boom!

Space twisted behind him, and the other Wu warrior suddenly flashed out. The ultimate fearsome wind blast from the fist struck at Mu Chen once again, but this time, he did not dodge. A cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He stretched out his palm and pointed at the Wu warrior behind him. He then made a seal with his fingers.

Boom!

Scarlet light suddenly exploded from the space in front of him. Countless spiritual seals twinkled in it. Overarching scarlet light formed a sea of fire, and the temperature in the cave rose crazily. The Wu warrior loomed within that scarlet space. Mu Chen lifted his eyes and took a look at the Wu warrior, who was exploding with fearsome fluctuations. With a soft voice, he said, “Blazing Fire Array!”

Bang!

The scarlet area before him turned into a magma zone. A sizeable scarlet figure slowly rose from the magma as if the volcano had just given birth to an ultimate ferocious beast.
