Dong!
The spacious stone square suddenly shook violently at this time. Radiant light rays shot out from the square, while the audience watched in awe.
“What’s going on?!”
Numerous members from the Nine Netherbird Clan were filled with shock. They stared at the square, realizing quickly that the light rays were circling around Qin Xuan!
“Mu Chen did something!” someone yelled with surprise.
The various clan elders were sitting in their seats, feeling shocked while watching. Their eyes flickered. A moment later, their expressions changed slightly, as they seemed to have discovered something.
Under everyone’s attention, Qin Xuan, who was surrounded by the spiritual light rays, watched as the ground below him continued to crack open. A bizarre spiritual energy fluctuation was exuding from the cracks!
The sudden change shocked Qin Xuan. Without any hesitation, he quickly commanded the Nine Nether Frosty Sparrow to take its leave. As the huge wings flapped, a violent snowstorm swept out. Then, the enormous body of the sparrow tried to dart out.
At this point in time, Qin Xuan had already noticed that Mu Chen’s embarrassed evasion was really him trying to conceal his real intention. Although he had no idea what Mu Chen did to the surroundings, the most important thing now was to leave the region. Until that time, he would have no reservations, and prove that he could defeat Mu Chen with all his might!
Boom!
The wind howled, as the huge sparrow took its leave swiftly. No one could block its lightning speed.
But, Mu Chen smiled calmly, when Qin Xuan tried to escape. He lifted one of his hands gently.
Weng!
The light rays shone even brighter on the earth. The entire region was shrouded within a thousand-foot-long light shield!
Shoo! Shoo!
As the light shield appeared, countless light rainbows dashed out from it. Strings of large chains, engraved with ancient runes, were sparkling in the light rainbows. As soon as the chains appeared, they enveloped the land instantly, as if a net has been cast over it.
Qin Xuan was stunned by the sudden appearance of the light rainbow chain in the sky. But, before he could make his move, the chains lashed out at him. Within a single breath’s time, the chains were fastened to the body of the Nine Nether Frosty Sparrow.
Boom!
The sparrow struggled vigorously. Violent and vibrant spiritual energy exploded from its body. But, no matter how intensely it struggled, the chains did not give in to it. Thus, sparrow was caught.
Qin Xuan was shocked by this scene. He tapped his foot and darted out. But, before he could move, he heard the clicking sound of the chains behind him. The chains then wrapped around his limbs like poisonous snakes!
Bomb! Bomb!
Spiritual energy swept out madly from Qin Xuan’s body, as he tried to break the chains. But, the chains kept coming, one after another, like there was no end to them. He was trapped like a moth on a cobweb and could not escape.
“Spiritual Array!”
The sudden change in the situation hardened Qin Xuan’s expression. He then realized that, while Mu Chen was evading his attack, he had planted a formidable spiritual array beneath the ground!
“The chain power from this array is so strong,I cannot not break it for the time being. This lad had this planned, right from the start. He intended to use his spiritual array to slow my speed down and defeat me!”
Qin Xuan’s eyes flickered non-stop. He only understood Mu Chen’s plan now. Mu Chen knew that Qin Xuan was good at launching long-range attacks. Hence, he had planned an array that could trap him and control his lightning speed.
After realizing Mu Chen’s plan, Qin Xuan took a few cold breaths. He was apparently shocked by Mu Chen’s combat will, as it took him a few moments to be able to think of a way to counter-attack him.
Boom!
Just as Qin Xuan was still in a shock, golden light rays suddenly exploded around Mu Chen. A huge golden figure appeared, with a golden sun hanging behind his head of. The figure was exuding a daunting spiritual energy fluctuation… Mu Chen’s Great Solar Undying Body!
Mu Chen did not hesitate in using his sovereign celestial body. As he changed his seal, five golden suns burst out from the body immediately.
Boom!
“Sovereign Super Power, Five Suns Spear!”
Golden rays emitted brightly, then quickly turned into a huge golden spear in the hands of the Great Solar Undying Body. Five scorching suns were rotating at the tip of the spear, and a mighty strength swept out from it.
Qin Xuan’s eyes narrowed, as he sensed the fluctuation of that golden spear. With such an attack, he would need to use all of his strength, and even then, he would barely be able to defend against it. But, he was in such a state!
Mu Chen was so cunning. If he had used this tactic right from the start, he would not be embarrassing himself right now. But, it would also have raised Qin Xuan’s vigilance, and thus, he would not have had a chance to plant his array!
Boom! Boom!
The huge golden figure stomped down on the land and darted swiftly away. The golden spear was aimed at Qin Xuan, who was using all of his might to break away from the captive.
But, apparently, he was not fast enough. When he looked at the figure closing in, he could not help but yell, “Jiang Ya, how long do you want to just sit there and watch?!”
Jiang Ya was observing the abrupt change in the battle from outside of the battle ring, and his face immediately darkened. The sudden explosion of the combat power from Mu Chen had stunned him.
This lad… He is a Spiritual Array Master!
He has been concealing his talent right from the start!
Jiang Ya pondered these things to himself. Previously, he was acting snobbish and wanted Qin Xuan to deal with Mu Chen first. If he joined in the battle now, it would attract criticism. But, right now, Mu Chen was a dangerous person. If Qin Xuan was defeated, he wasn’t sure if he could manage Mu Chen by himself!
If he had asked himself earlier if such were the case, he would have answered “yes” confidently. But now, he had lost that confidence.
Jiang Ya’s flickering eyes were fixed on one spot. Without any hesitation, he grabbed his scarlet red spear and darted out. At that moment, a violent spiritual energy exploded from his body like a volcano.
Shoo!
Jiang Ya flit into a light, pointing his spear directly at Mu Chen. Apparently, he planned to be the biggest winner in this battle. Once Mu Chen defeated Qin Xuan, he would grab the opportunity to knock Mu Chen out, thus making him he the final winner!
Jiang Ya’s action created a commotion among the audience. Some of the clan mates drew their lips tightly, showing their annoyance. Jiang Ya was arrogant, and he had tried take advantage of the situation, while Mu Chen was doing his best to deal with Qin Xuan! However, whether Mu Chen won or not in this battle, none of the people from the clan would dare to belittle him ever again!
As everyone was watching, Jiang Ya rushed into the battle almost immediately. His spiritual energy in his body exploded without any reservation. The vast and majestic spiritual energy gushed towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen had a slight upperhand, but Jiang Ya’s action forced him into an arduous plight once again. After all, he would be facing two difficult situations, whether he choose to continue attacking Qin Xuan or turn around to hunker in a self-defense stance.
The former would give Jiang Ya a chance to knock him out, while the latter would cost him the best chance to win against Qin Xuan. No matter what, both of them would join hands in attacking him. As such, he would did not have seem to have any chance of winning!
All eyes were on Mu Chen. Even the clan elders were staring at him. They wanted to know how Mu Chen would bail himself out of such a plight.
Jiang Ya closed in on Mu Chen, while Mu Chen stood on top of the Great Solar Undying Body. At the corner of his eyes, he could see the incoming figure charging at him. He then lifted his head and saw the struggling Qin Xuan not far away. A smile was drawn at the corner of his lips.
As he smiled, he formed a seal with one hand and mumbled, “Lotus Spiritual Sword Array, activate!”
Weng!
As he finished saying the words, green rays of swords swept out from the outer ring of the Tianluo Array. The whistling sound of the swords resounded throughout the entire land.
More commotions broke out outside of the square. The top powers in the clan were showing shocked expressions. Even the expressions on the few elders changed.
They realized that Mu Chen had planted another array, apart from the Tianluo Array! In fact, just now, he had planted not one, but two arrays!
What’s more, the second array was concealed under the first array. Hence, the Tianhuang Elder had not spotted it, since he was not very familiar with arrays. Thus, Mu Chen had successfully hidden it from everyone!
Weng! Weng!
Mu Chen did not bother about the commotion, but instead just flicked his finger. Green lights swept out, then transformed into a huge lotus sword. Immediately, it penetrated through the earth and charged directly at Jiang Ya, who was unprepared.
While the sword was aimed at Jiang Ya, the Five Suns Spear in the hand of the Great Solar Undying Body suddenly paused. Then, it turned in another direction and darted out. As everyone watched in astonishment, the golden spear appeared in front of Jiang Ya, then thrust out at him!
The spear and the sword had sealed off all of his escape routes. Seeing this, Jiang Ya’s face paled immediately.
He finally understood now that Mu Chen was not targeting Qin Xuan right from the start. He was instead waiting for him to enter into the battle!
The hidden and inactive array was put in place to guard against him! So, if Jiang Ya joined in the fight, he would land himself into a desperate situation!
Mu Chen truly has a scary combat will!
A chill crept into Jiang Ya, as he realized that both he and Qing Xuan would lose to Mu Chen in this confrontation!
Boom!
As Jiang Ya paled, both the golden spear and the lotus sword charged at him. Their combined daunting spiritual energy exploded in front of him. The entire space was torn mercilessly at this point.
Jiang Ya’s defense had collapsed, and he was thrown entirely out of the square by the explosion. He landed far away, leaving a deep crack in the ground.
Jiang Ya lay in a pool of blood within the crack. His breathing was weak. Apparently, he had suffered from significant injuries. If Mu Chen had used his full force during the previous attack, which included a spiritual array of high earth grade and the full blast of the Great Solar Undying Body, he could have easily Jiang Ya! Even so, Jiang Ya had no strength left to battle any further.
Previously, Jiang Ya had entered into the battle arrogantly, planning to steal an advantage and force Mu Chen into despair. But now, everyone who watched was dumbfounded, as he had been totally defeated!
