Chapter 121: In the Past, Right Now…Yet Still Strong

Ge Hai’s crimson eyes stared wildly at the figure in front of him. The latter’s eyes remained calm as usual. The situation before them was like a seemingly silent and serene lake, yet a frightening whirlpool that could envelop people was hidden underneath it.

“You think that we’re still in the Spiritual Road?”

Ge Hai glared at Mu Chen and ground his teeth: “You think, in your current state, that you are still qualified to say that to me? Based on what? By the fact that you’re at the Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase?”

Mu Chen smiled: “If you want to wipe away the fear and trauma within your heart, then come and get me. But you should know my personality. Thus, if you plan on doing it, you should be prepared to pay a price. This place clearly isn’t as cruel as the environment of Spiritual Road, but if I actually cared about such rules, I wouldn’t have done those things back in the Spiritual Road.”

Ge Hai’s eyes narrowed. From Mu Chen’s smile, he could see the terrifying figure from the Spiritual Road again. Fear spread out from the depths of his heart.

“You, at your current state, aren’t qualified to say such words to me!”

Ge Hai replied darkly. He took a deep breath and suppressed the fear within his heart. He knew that if he did not defeat Mu Chen, there would be an obstacle in his cultivation due to the existence of the trauma.

The heavens had given him a chance to wipe away this fear, so he must seize this opportunity!

“This time, you will be the one that will pay the price!”

A shout rang out from Ge Hai’s throat. In the next instant, his eyes revealed a hint of fierceness and brutality. Then, a powerful Spiritual Energy emitted out unreservedly from his body.

Boom!

He pushed off from the ground and flew over like an arrow. He immediately appeared in front of Mu Chen and his hands clenched on the dark-red long sword. With a swishing sound, a sharp sword beam slashed down furiously at Mu Chen’s throat.

Ge hai revealed his experience and his ferocity within that offensive. The imposing manner from the attack was something that far surpassed any ordinary students. A person, who came out of the Spiritual Road, had to be at least this capable.

Mu Chen’s eyes flashed as he saw the sword beam. He retreated back slightly and, with the sounds of winds breaking, the sharp sword beam flew past the place where his throat was earlier.

“Right now, I’ll let you know the gap between a Spirit Stage and a Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase!”

Ge Hai yelled. A powerful Spiritual Energy pressure enveloped Mu Chen and an overwhelming sword beam slashed towards his vital areas like a storm.

Swish!

Numerous gouges appeared on the ground due to the sword attacks. Even countless trees were cleaved apart by the sword. Their bare stumps were as smooth as a mirror.

Everybody in the Ye Clan’s campground held their breath. They knew how powerful Ge Hai was. A Spirit Stage powerhouse was someone far beyond any of them. This attack was enough to instantly obliterate a Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase.

They did not know whether or not Mu Chen could endure it…

Their gazes were filled with worry as they watched Mu Chen’s figure. The latter remained motionless against the sharp sword that rushed over.

Mu Chen’s black eyes reflected the overwhelming sword slash as well as Ge Hai’s hideous appearance. In that moment, the Great Pagoda Art began to circulate within his body.

A dark-black Spiritual Energy flowed through his meridians, and the mysterious lights within his body lit up once again. With his strength slowly increasing, it was apparent that he was gradually becoming able to activate the mysterious Spiritual Pulse that his mother had sealed.

Although he was not able to activate its power completely, it was sufficient enough to deal with the opponent in front of him.

The lights flashed and a mysterious tower vaguely appeared within Mu Chen’s body. The flowing Spiritual Energy instantly surged out.

Within Mu Chen’s eyes, dark lights flashed. Furthermore, a tower of black light emerged within the depths of his eyes. He clapped his hands together, and the black light started to condense on the surface of his body. In the end, a blurry black light tower appeared.

Clang Clang Clang!

Ge Hai’s sharp sword landed on the blurry black tower, and a clanging sound resounded. Sparks flew everywhere, yet the black light tower was completely unmoved.

“What the hell is that?!”

Ge Hai stared at the black light tower that shrouded Mu Chen. His expression changed, and he gritted his teeth. He could not believe that with his Spirit Stage strength he would fail to oppress Mu Chen, who was only at the Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase!

“Bloodshed Carnage Sword!”

Ge Hai took a step forward, and the sword’s imposing manner changed. A bloody aura appeared on its surface. At the same time, the dark-red long sword turned crimson and slashed down creating a red arc.

Facing Ge Hai’s fierce offensive, Mu Chen did not show any signs of retreating. He, too, had his own pride. If he was to retreat in front of an enemy that wasn’t worth his attention before, it would be belittle him.

Mu Chen’s hands clenched into fists. Under the protection of the black light tower, his body had turned into a fierce weapon. Spiritual Energy and winds surged out from his fists and directly collided against Ge Hai’s crimson long sword.

Clang!

The powerful impact emitted out and the ground underneath them collapsed.

“Kill!”

Ge Hai shouted out furiously. As he pushed the Spiritual Energy within his body to the limits, the long sword within his hand let loose a powerful sword slash. However, he discovered that it was impossible to truly suppress Mu Chen.

“Bastard. He’s only at the Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase! How is it possible that he could fight me head on!?” Ge Hai shouted out in his heart. As someone who was only Spiritual Rotation Stage Late Phase, Mu Chen had far exceeded Ge Hai’s expectations regarding the former’s true combat ability.

The people from the Ye Clan were completely shocked by the two figures. This sort of Spiritual Energy collision was not something that a Spiritual Rotation Stage could release.

“Sister, is Brother Mu Chen going to be okay?” Sun’Er stared at the battle worriedly as she pulled Ye Qingling’s hands.
