Chapter 373 (1/2)
Chapter 373 – The Powerful Mo Longzi
The atmosphere across the entire Western Desolated City seemed to have frozen solid.
Bringing along thick feelings of shock, stupefied gazes looked towards the scene across the horizon. In the next moment, the corners of their mouths started to open uncontrollably. This ending was clearly something that was totally outside of their expectations.
Across the horizon, Mu Chen stood in the air, his clothes in tatters, with a few wounds showing on his body. Black lightning arced and danced around his body, while an exceptionally chilly expression was displayed on his face. With a gaze as sharp as knives, he stared towards Wu Jia, who was right in front of him, whose face was now flushed red.
Like a steel vice, his hand locked around the throat of the latter, while Spiritual Energy erupted from his palm. With just the slightest bit of movement, he would be able to instantly shatter Wu Jia’s throat.
An ashen colour started to appear on Wu Jia’s face.Within his eyes, the remnant of an incredulous expression was present, showing him having yet to return back to reality after Mu Chen barbarically smashed his array and caused him to suffer a complete collapse.
Wu Jia’s current strength had already reached Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase. However, he never imagined that he would lose in such a short amount of time after his Spiritual Array was broken apart by Mu Chen.
The combat prowess displayed by Mu Chen had clearly far, far surpassed the strength perceived by his outer appearance.
Astonished clamouring noises erupted out, quickly breaking apart the silence within the city. The current commotion was even being more intense than when Shen Cangsheng was defeated, since the scene that unfurled before them had far exceeded everyone’s expectations.
Who would have thought that Wu Jia, a Rank 5 Spiritual Array Master, would actually suffer defeat in the hands of Mu Chen, whose strength was merely at Heavenly Transformation Stage Late Phase?
“He’s truly interesting,” muttered the green-robed male with a faint smile, while shooting a peculiar look at Mu Chen. This youth appeared to also have some hidden methods and tricks up his sleeves. It’s no wonder why he dared to take action under such circumstances.
“However, even though Wu Jia’s defeat. They have still not considered to have obtained victory.” He proceeded to mutter. As of now, Shen Cangsheng had already been defeated, with Mo Longzi about to take action elsewhere. Facing against the super-fierce figure that even Shen Cangsheng couldn’t stop, there seemed to be nobody from the side of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy that could come out to contend.
In this current situation, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy was already on the disadvantageous side. Even with Mu Chen’s victory, it was hard to shake and reverse the situation. After all, Mo Longzi was someone that couldn’t be compared to Wu Jia.
Due to Mu Chen’s victory, Su Xuan, He Yao and the rest of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy people were pleasantly surprised for an instant, before quickly reverting to grave expressions, which was accredited from the present dire situation. If Shen Cangsheng still had the strength to fight, with Mu Chen collaborating within him, the two of them would be able to contend with Mo Longzi. However, as of now, Shen Cangsheng had already suffered heavy injuries… As for the sides of Li Xuantong and Luo Li, although they had gotten the upper hand, both of them were in a life-or-death entanglement, causing them to be unable to extricate themselves for the time being.
Within this time, Mo Longzi might be able to crush and defeat Mu Chen.
Across the horizon, Mu Chen sent an apathetic look towards Wu Jia, who he had already subdued. Turning his head around, he looked towards the distance. Upon seeing Shen Cangsheng, who was completely covered in blood, with a depressed aura, his heart instantly sank. Shen Cangsheng truly was not Mo Longzi’s match.
“Haha, you’re truly surprising.” Mo Longzi’s faintly astonished gaze rested on Mu Chen’s body, before proceeding to show a faint smile as he continued his statement. “However, you still late by a bit.”
Swish!
From the distance, Su Xuan, He Yao and the rest had shot over, descending before Shen Cangsheng, protecting him from the front as they vigilantly stared at Mo Longzi.
Mu Chen looked at the battlefields of Luo Li and Li Xuantong. At this moment, the two of them had already sensed the progress of the situation over at Mu Chen’s side, and their attacks suddenly became fierce and violent in an attempt to rapidly end their battle to assist him.
However, Mu Gu and Gui Xiong weren’t ordinary people, after all. At this moment, they had also become more vicious, sending attack after attack of all-out blows sweeping out, risking their lives to bring Luo Li and Li Xuantong down.
A faint flash spackled within Mu Chen’s eyes, before sending a palm patting heavily down on Wu Jia’s chest. Blood immediately spurted out from the latter as the Spiritual Energy surrounding his body instantly became dispirited, clear indications of having suffered a serious blow.
After maiming the combat capabilities of this Wu Jia, Mu Chen flung him towards Su Xuan and the rest. He raised his head, and coldly stared at Mo Longzi as boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations gushed out of him once again.
“You’re not my match.” Facing the gaze coming from Mu Chen, Mo Longzi just gave a faint smile as he spoke out.
Not a single expression hung on Mu Chen’s face, the same with his words, with only the glare coming from him still remaining chilly and cold.
“Truly, a detestable fellow.” Mo Longzi muttered under his breath, while malevolent killing intent surged and erupted from the depths of his eyes. For this entire matter, the youth in front of him had caused much divergence in his well-prepared plans, causing him to feel extreme ire and detestment towards Mu Chen.
“I really, really want to kill you right here, right now…”
Baleful and ominous aura that blotted the skies, accompanied by his boundless and tyrannical Spiritual Energy, hid the skies and covered the earth as they swept out from Mo Longzi, enveloping over Mu Chen. In the next instant, a tremble shook through his body as he explosively shot out.
‘“Mu Chen, be careful!”’ Su Xuan and the rest hastily cried out. That Mo Longzi’s was truly extremely vicious. He had immediately taken action.
Swish!
Mo Longzi’s speed was extremely fast, appearing before Mu Chen in a flash. Sending out a vicious pat, he noticed a dragon’s shadow that was unexpectedly surfacing around the latter’s body. As rays of brilliance flashed out, the latter explosively retreated, escaping Mo Longzi’s attack range.
“This is…the Dragon Soaring Art?”
Looking at the dragon shadow that appeared around Mu Chen’s body in a flash, shock and astonishment erupted from Mo Longzi’s eyes, before instantly being filled with a dark shadow as he spoke out, “Looks like you’ve gotten quite a good deal of benefits from the Spiritual Treasure room of the White Dragon Sovereign, huh? Even his Dragon Soaring Art was learnt by you.”
The White Dragon Sovereign was once one of the highest ranking members of the Demonic Dragon Palace of the past. Therefore, Mo Longzi also knew about this consummate skill of his. This Dragon Soaring Art was a part of a rather formidable Deity Tier Spiritual Art. Once it was mastered to a great degree, one could seemingly transform into a divine dragon, while being able to pierce through space to evade and escape. Even a Sovereign Realm expert would find it difficult obstruct such a cultivator. During that year, when the White Dragon Sovereign had betrayed the Demonic Dragon Palace, the Demonic Dragon Palace had tried their best to contain him, but to no avail, since he escaped at the end. What he relied on was this Dragon Soaring Art.
