Up in the mirror-clear sky, a youth stood, wielding a golden war spear. His fighting spirit flashed through his eyes and he carried himself with a dazzling air that attracted everyone’s attention.
Mu Chen also looked at him in surprise. He’d heard about this number one from the moment he entered the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. As far as the student body was concerned, he was, perhaps, the only one who could become the undisputed overlord.
His place as the first of the Heavenly Rankings was unshakable.
Mu Chen never imagined that the rarely-seen first in the Heavenly Rankings would make an appearance here.
Mo Longzi watched Shen Cangsheng from a short distance away, with his hand tightly wrapped around the dragon-scaled longsword. Then, he smiled. “You’ve been chasing me for two months now. Aren’t you tired yet?”
“I accepted your bounty mission. How could I return without your head?” Shen Cangsheng smiled back. His golden spear trembled slightly.
“You can’t kill me.”
Mo Longzi shook his head and lazily replied, “You’re formidable, but not even the elite team could kill me. There’s no way you could accomplish it all by yourself.”
“At the very least, if I keep chasing you, then you won’t be able to kill more students of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.”
Shen Cangsheng smiled as a light flashed across his eyes, “Furthermore, I’m good at finding opportunities. The moment you slip, you might find your life belonging to me.”
Mo Longzi narrowed his eyes and the demonic dragon on his forehead writhed even more viciously. He gripped his longsword and lightly said, “Well if you put it that way, then, wouldn’t it be better for me to kill you, so you won’t cause me any more trouble?”
“If you’ve finally thought it through, then come and fight me.” Shen Cangsheng challenged as he pointed his golden spear towards Mo Longzi. His eyes overflowed with his fighting spirit.
Mo Longzi coldly stared at Shen Cangsheng. A forest of sword lights slowly took shape around him, until even the space around him seemed like it’d been sliced into ribbons.
The spear in Shen Cangsheng’s hand trembled and surged with a golden energy. His body flared with a brilliant light, as if he’d turned into a golden sun. His fighting intent soared, as if he was a god of war.
“If you treat me like that moron Yu Yuan, then you’re going to get the worst of it.”
Mo Longzi lightly smiled as a sword-sharp look filled his eyes. He took a step forward and the longsword slightly shook. That instant was filled with the sounds of swords cutting through air. An ashen-grey light rose from behind him and turned into an earth-shattering quantity of sword images.
Each sword image looked genuine, and his sword aura surged into the skies, as if it could tear the sky apart.
“Dragon Scaled Sword Art, Sky Shattering Myriad Sword!”
Onom!
The longsword whistled through the air, raising another wave of sword images that rained down on Shen Cangsheng in an astonishing display.
Mu Chen’s expression was grave as he watched the terrifying attacks. Mo Longzi was powerful, indeed. Mu Chen guessed that he’d probably already reached the Heavenly Completion Stage.
His talent must be monstrous to reach the Heavenly Completion Stagee at such a young age. But since Mu Chen came to this world, such monstrous talents were in no short supply.
Even though Mo Longzi was his opponent, Mu Chen couldn’t help sighing in admiration. From the looks of it, Mu Chen was only four or five years older; however, Mu Chen was still speechless at his strength. No wonder he was the number 2 on the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy’s Bounty Board — he was someone who could make the Punishment Team fail every single time.
Shen Cangsheng raised his head, and the myriad of swords were reflected in his pupils. He tightened his grip on the Celestial Lotus Wargod Spear, which flickered with golden light. Then, his arm trembled and the spear thrust forward.
“Celestial Lotus Rain!”
Onom!
A golden light flickered as a golden lotus bloomed on the tip of his spear, expanding until it was a few hundred feet wide.
Shhhuuuuuu! Shhhhuuu!
The golden lotus slowly revolved as it blossomed, before it burst into thousands of individual petals, all bathed with golden light.
That golden light filled the skies and shattered the spectacular golden rain. Its beauty contained deadly power.
Boom! Boooom!
The shattered lotus petals gathered again and formed a single golden pillar. The column streaked across the horizon and crashed down on the sword images. In that instant, everything between heaven and earth trembled from the collision.
A series of loud explosions rang out as a wild Spiritual Energy rippled out. The forest below suffered a fatal blow and was leveled. The surrounding majestic mountains were sliced into huge boulders before they fell into pieces.
