Chapter 369: Four-Sided Confrontation
Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
Due to the appearance of the group of people in the sky, the atmosphere within the entire Western Desolated City had flared up and boiled. Curiosity was present within the eyes of countless people, since all of them clearly wanted to know exactly who would be able to achieve the final victory in this head-on confrontation between the two lineups.
This battle would undeniably concern various aspects and faces of the Demonic Dragon Palace, as well as the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Both sides had Sovereigns present within them. Due to various reason, they weren’t able to directly intervene and fight, and could only observe this confrontation in the dark. Therefore, the lineups present before everyone’s eyes were the sharpest and greatest elite forces that both sides could send out.
As Shen Cangsheng stood haughtily within the sky, his gaze locked onto Mo Longzi, which was akin to the edge of a blade. Shifting slightly up, he noticed the three gigantic metal cages that had the unconscious and heavily injured Lin Zheng, Zhou Qingshan and Gu Tianyan within them.
Upon seeing the three who were caged up, the faces of Mu Chen and the group turned frosty, while killing intent erupted from their eyes.
All of them had respect and even some reverence for Lin Zheng and the other two; after all, they were their Senior Brothers. Currently, they were being humiliated in such a manner, causing them the be rather infuriated.
“Haha. Looks like you all are very furious.”
Mo Longzi looked at the expressions filled with killing intent present on the faces of Shen Cangsheng, Mu Chen and the group. Showing an apathetic smile, he said, “You guys should be rejoicing that I’ve locked them up here. If not, I’d have finished them off long ago.”
“I’ll return what you did to them a hundred times over.” Gripping the long spear tightly in his hand, green veins started to squirm and wriggle on his hand. Speaking out, Shen Cangsheng’s low and deep voice was brimming with malevolence.
“I do know that you truly have that capability,” replied Mo Longzi with a beaming smile.
“So what the hell are you going to do now? Send out any move you’ve got, and we’ll return all of them back to you!” roared Shen Cangsheng in a cold voice. In any case, Lin Zheng and the other two were in the hands of their enemies. Thus, they were still a little worried about acting against Mo Longzi in fear of him hurting Lin Zheng and the other two. After all, they weren’t able to be that merciless and completely show the slightest bit of detachment to their compatriots like Mo Longzi.
“Worthy of being the Overlord of the Heavenly Rankings. You truly have charisma and the guts to say such words.”
Mo Longzi laughed while sticking his thumb out. A sinister shadow filled his face as a smile appeared from a split of his mouth, revealing two rows of glistening white teeth, before speaking out, “It’s really very simple. We’ve set up four arenas over here. You just have send four people up to fight and that’s it.”
“However, there’s no such thing as a fair matchup. Once these four people have dealt with their opponents, they have to right to decide to withdraw, or continue cooperating with others…”
“As for the type of fight, it’s naturally to the death.”
Speaking till the very end, the smile at the corners of Mo Longzi’s mouth turned cruel and malevolent.
Mu Chen faintly narrowed his eyes when he heard Mo Longzi words. From what the latter had said, he had made it clear that he wanted solo fights, which allowed him to quickly finish off his opponent before helping the rest. In that way, he wouldn’t have to worry about being besieged by Mu Chen’s group. After all, he would face against Shen Cangsheng, who had promoted to Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase. If there was another person attacking him, it would become two against one. In that situation, even he would no longer have an advantage.
Previously, the reason why he could deal with Lin Zheng and the other two was due to breaking them one by one. If not, when the three of them joined hands to fight with him, it would be nigh impossible to completely capture all of them.
As this moment, Mo Longzi was also banking on this same concept. He assumed that in a solo fight, no one from Mu Chen’s side would be able to be his match. In that way, he would quickly achieve victory and turn around to deal with the rest.
This truly would help him avoid being besieged. However, that would have to depend on whether Mo Longzi was truly able to achieve victory so quickly and get his hands free to attack other people.
From the looks of it, he possessed extremely great confidence in his own strength.
The eyes of Shen Cangsheng and the group faintly flashed, having clearly seen through Mo Longzi’s intention. In the current situation, they had the numerical advantage, and swarming around Mo Longzi and his group had some advantages for them. However, since Lin Zheng and the other two were within the latter’s hands, they didn’t have much of a say.
“Look’s like the confidence you have for yourself is truly quite big.”
Taking a step out, the golden long spear within Shen Cangsheng’s hands erupted with a bright and resplendent golden light. As the golden light blossomed and filled the skies, Shen Cangsheng appeared akin to a god of war. Chilling intent filled his eyes as he stared at Mo Longzi while saying, “We’ll accept this fight!”
“Haha, that’s some courage!”
Mo Longzi roared with laughter that had endless chilling intent present in his voice. With a wave of his hand, he fluttered as he retreated back. Shooting across the sky, three other people from his group followed suit and shot out into the sky. In all, they occupied four separate regions within the sky.
The three people that shot out was Mu Gu, 3rd rank on the Bounty Board, Gui Xiong, 4th rank and the 5th rank Wu Jia.
Of these three people, two of them possessed strength at the Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase, while the remaining one was a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master, an even more mysterious and hard person to deal with. All fourth of them weren’t people that Mu Chen and his group could easily deal with.
Haha! Who dares to fight with me?!”
Gui Xiong flung his head up, roaring with laughter as astonishingly baleful aura pervaded his entire body. Looking malevolently towards Mu Chen and his group , the giant axe within his hand appeared as if he wanted to split up and shatter the heavens and earth.
Mu Gu also had an apathetic smile on his face, while his skinny and withered body sparkled. The bones underneath his skin became faintly discernable under his skin. Locking his gaze onto Luo Li, it appeared as if the fight that occurred yesterday had yet to reach a desirable level of satisfaction.
Compared to the other three, Wu Jia was the most quiet and solemn. Calmly sitting in the sky, the air around his body faintly rippled, while mysterious fluctuations radiated from him.
This person appeared akin to a venomous snake. He made no noise and no detectable movements, but was able to give a death-inducing attack within the silence.
Within the largest hall in the Western Desolated City, the green-robed male was also looking with interest at the confrontation happening in the skies above the city.
“Haha. Young Hallmaster. Looks like that Mo Longzi’s truly crafty. His strength should be considered the strongest amongst the individual people on the two sides. In a solo fight, the only person that can put up a fight against him might only be Shen Cangsheng. However, the latter will not be able to last for long. Therefore, once he finishes his fight, this entire situation can be considered to be over,” explained a figure standing behind the green-robed male.
Hearing those words, the green-robed male smiled and nodded his head while saying, “However, if the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy achieves victory in the other three fights before that happens, things would be different…”
