In the vast land between Heaven and Earth, six figures stared at each other in a confrontation. At this moment, a gale seemed to form, sweeping out in all directions. The entire place was full of the howling sound of wind.
An indescribable oppression loomed over the land. Not only did it freeze the air, but it also hushed the commotion within the White Jade Square.
Uncountable gazes were fixed upon the screen nervously. After several rounds of disqualification, the final battle was going to start in the Upper Earthly Sovereign battlefield. The winner would emerge from these six people.
The majority of the people supported the three Holy Children from the Western Kingdom War Temple as the favorites to win. After all, they had surpassed Mu Chen and the other two persons with their fame and battle results.
Even Liu Xingchen was severely injured by Ling Zhanzi. As for Mu Chen, who took over Liu Xingchen’s position, no one thought that he could defeat Ling Zhanzi, even though he still had several unused trump cards. As such, the three Holy Children were in an advantageous position in terms of the line-up.
“It looks like Su Mu and the rest will go back empty-handed,” one of the powerhouses said, while all of the other powerhouses sighed. The Holy Children of the Western Kingdom War Temple were too strong, so no one could vie with them.
“Nothing is definite. Unforeseen situations might happen in this Battlefield of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns, even though it is uncommon,” another said.
Clearly, some others held different views. They did not think that the three Holy Children would necessarily come out on top. After all, the three Holy Children may be strong, but Su Mu, Chu Men, and Mu Chen were not easy to deal with.
“No matter what, this battle could be the most exciting match ever. I’m just wondering who will have the last laugh,” another person in the crowd commented.
Many people agreed with his statement. Having the ability to last till this final moment in this battlefield, where all of the superior heroes were gathered, had already proved how remarkable these six people were.
At this moment, six pairs of eyes exchanged glares between Heaven and Earth, where the air was still. An icy cold aura that could chill the bones seemed to be circulating in the air.
“Hehe, the three rats have finally gathered?” Ling Jianzi took the lead to break the calm atmosphere. He was grinning and looking at Su Mu, Chu Men, and Mu Chen as if they were prey that had just fallen into his trap.
“Even if you’re the hunter, you still might get pounced on by your own prey!” Su Mu lifted his eyes and said coldly, with sharp and cold eyes.
“Oh? Really?” Ling Jianzi shrugged his shoulders indifferently, then revealed his ghastly white teeth and said, “If this is so, I will break the limbs of my prey, such that they have no strength to pounce. This will work!”
As Ling Jianzi and Su Mu faced each other, killing intent surged within their eyes. Apparently, both of them had some grudges against each other, which had begun way before today.
While Ling Jianzi and Su Mu were staring at each other hatefully, Ling Zhanzi was glaring at Mu Chen with a pair of calm eyes. Putting on a vague smile, Ling Zhanzi said, “Liu Xingchen’s Battle Seals should be in your hands, right?”
Mu Chen nodded. He had an indifferent look on his face.
“Give me the Battle Seals and retreat from this battlefield. You were nominated by the Flame Emperor, so I don’t want you to be too embarrassed, thus bringing shame upon him.” Ling Zhanzi stretched out his palm and gave Mu Chen a smile, but there was no warmth in it. The way he stared at Mu Chen showed no concern for him at all.
Despite for Ling Zhanzi’s disinterest, Mu Chen still put on a smile on his young and handsome face, then shook his head and said, “No way.”
“Haha.” The simple, yet direct reply triggered a burst of laughter from Chu Men, who was standing at the side.
Ling Zhanzi might seem to be a mild person, but the way he showed contempt for someone was good enough to make one’s blood boil. But, Mu Chen had answered him seriously, which had turned Ling Zhanzi’s imposing manner into a funny joke instantly.
Ling Zhanzi stared at Mu Chen for a while, then nodded slightly. He sighed and said, “If that is the case, don’t blame me for not giving face to the Flame Emperor.”
Mu Chen was not pleased with his snobbish attitude. Apparently, his retaliation had upset Ling Zhanzi. As such, Ling Zhanzi stared at him and kept quiet for a moment. He then rubbed his brow and said, “Looks like you really wish for your own death.”
His tone was still as usual. But this time, everyone felt the chilly killing intent within his voice.
Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi sensed his current state and quickly cast pitiful glances towards Mu Chen, as they knew Ling Zhanzi too well. All these years, he would rub his brow just before he was ready to kill someone.
In the end, all of his opponents died horrible deaths. Mu Chen would soon understand the heavy price to pay for agitating Ling Zhanzi.
“Make your choice,” said Ling Zhanzi coldly, while he looked at Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi.
Ling Jianzi let out a sudden bellow of laughter, while his figure charged towards one of the faraway mountains and a fierce and cold sword aura soared towards the sky. “Su Mu, let’s see if you still dare to use the title ‘Sword Deity’ in the future?”
“Why would I be afraid of you?” Su Mu gave a cold snort.
He then tapped his toes, causing his body to flit out like a huge bird. Accompanied with a powerful sword aura, he charged towards the mountains as well.
Ling Longzi saw that Ling Jianzi had chosen Su Mu as his opponent, so he cast his gaze upon Chu Men, who had a similar burly build as him. He grinned and asked, “Shall we have a go, too?”
“Of course!” As Chu Men darted out, his overwhelming spiritual energy filled the entire land.
Ling Longzi let out a roar and followed closely behind him. With the departure of this quartet, the vast forest quieted instantly.
Mu Chen and Ling Zhanzi were left looking at each other in silence. As they stared at each other, a cold and harsh killing intent gathered around them.
Roar!
With no emotion on his face, Mu Chen swung his robe and the Spirit-slaughtering Troop and Demon Subduing Troop appeared immediately. They gathered daunting fighting spirit and transformed into a Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit, which charged towards Ling Zhanzi.
As the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit charged with a force that was like heavy rocks rolling down the mountain, Ling Zhanzi did not even flinch.Instead, he stretched out both of his arms and stomped his feet. His figured then darted out immediately.
Boom!
Within a single breath’s time, his figure appeared in front of the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit. With his both palms stretched out, he took on the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit, which was charging at him with a mighty unstoppable force.
Bang! Bang!
The wave from the fierce impact swept out, shaking the entire space. Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and saw that Ling Zhanzi was standing still, just like a rock, when the collision happened. No matter how much daunting energy the Black Tortoise Fighting had, Ling Zhanzi remained unshaken.
Sstz!
The robe on Ling Zhanzi was torn under the forceful impact, revealing his arms, which had many enchanting traces one it. The traces seemed to be engraved on his arms.
Mu Chen looked at the traces, feeling shocked. He realized that those traces were all battle runes! These runes that were supposed to be on the Spirit of Fighting Intent had just appeared on Ling Zhanzi’s body!
Is it because of the unique Fighting Spiritual Energy from the Western Kingdom War Emperor? Mu Chen’s eyes flickered.
He had that heard that the Western Kingdom War Emperor could merge his own spiritual energy with the fighting spirit to form a unique spiritual energy. This type of spiritual energy was known as the Fighting Spiritual Energy!
Back in the air, the small-built Ling Zhanzi was wrestling with the gigantic Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit. His arms had many blinking battle runes on them.
The next moment, he let out a bellow, “Get lost!”
His bellow was loud. As the glow got brighter, the gigantic Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit was thrown back, landing in the forest some distance away. Dragging its tumbling body, it swept up the soil for thousands-feet before it finally stopped.
As Ling Zhanzi stood in the air, a ball of magnificent and violent spiritual energy swept out like a storm from his body. He looked as though he was the God of War.
His eyes flashed a dazzling radiance towards Mu Chen. Then, with a cold and indifferent voice, he slowly said, “Playing Fighting Spirit with me? You’re far from being able to do so!”
After he finished his sentence, he stepped out on his foot., while his body turned into numerous afterimages, all of which were charging at Mu Chen. But, when he neared Mu Chen, a vast spiritual array appeared.
Suddenly, spiritual energy from Heaven and Earth swept out. At the same time, nine large Spiritual Energy Dragons roared out.
Even in the face of such a daunting scene, Ling Zhanzi showed no signs of retreat. He simply continued on at his same charging speed. His punches blasted every single large Spiritual Energy Dragon that appeared before him.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each of his punches contained domineering power. As he swung out his fist, the space burst and the large dragons were exterminated.
After had had swung out nine distinct punches, the entire Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array exploded! The current Ling Zhanzi was extremely formidable!
As Mu Chen watched this, his expression gradually turned solemn. Even though Ling Zhanzi was an irritating person, the strength that he possessed was indeed the most dominating strength out of all of the Upper Earthly Sovereigns who Mu Chen had ever seen before!
Countless audience members in the White Jaded Square were watching the scene, dumbfounded. Apparently, they were shocked by the punches, which had just sent the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit flying, as well as the fearsome mightiness that had crashed the spiritual array. At this point, they felt the real dominating mightiness of the leader among the three Holy Children!
Even Luo Tianshen had a look of fear on his face. His eyes were filled with worry, as he knew that this fearsome Ling Zhanzi was the real danger on this battlefield, even for Mu Chen.
