Chapter 402 (2/2)

Looking at the clump of brilliance, Mu Chen’s eyes grew increasingly red-hot. As he got closer, he could feel the increasingly impatient tremors coming from the mysterious black paper within his body.

Taking a step out, he couldn’t resist anymore, wanting to get it into his hands.

“Wait,” said Xia Youran as she grabbed his hand, her beautiful eyes looking at a dark place not far away from them. There, she could faintly discern some figures present. At this moment, those people were also stared at the tornado. Clearly, they had also discovered the Spiritual Treasure faintly hidden within the tornado.

“Looks like there’s quite a few people staring at that thing,” said Xia Youran while a slight frown appeared on her forehead. Being able to arrive at this place under the spatial gales to harvest the Spiritual Treasure clearly showed that they weren’t just any random ordinary figures. From the looks of it now, it wouldn’t be easy to obtain this Spiritual Treasure today.

Nevertheless, not much unexpected feelings appeared within Mu Chen’s eyes. The Spiritual Treasure within the tornado shouldn’t be ordinary, so being able to attract some people to try to obtain it wasn’t something that was unexpected. However, the current situation appeared quite pressing.

“If they wish to obtain it, let them take the lead and try, while we take a back seat and observe them,” said Mu Chen in a soft voice.

Hearing his words, Xia Youran breathed a sigh of relief. She was somewhat afraid of Mu Chen being unable to endure the lure of the Spiritual Treasure and rushing to take action. At that time, not only would they have to endure the attacks coming from the spatial gales, they might also lure quite a few hidden blades and arrows along the way. At this moment, one must absolutely not lose their calm and cool.

When the both of them came, they had clearly attracted the attention of some people. Instantly, some of them could not endure any longer. The amount of people that was attracted by the Spiritual Treasure were increasing in numbers as time past. If they were to wait any longer, the chances they that would have would probably be less and less.

Swish!

In the darkness, the eyes of some people sparkled, before furiously clenching their teeth and explosively shooting forward. Boundless Spiritual Energy erupted out, causing the spatial gales to be smashed apart in an instant as dozens of figures shot straight towards the tornado, all in their attempts to snatch and obtain the Spiritual Treasure located within the tornado.

Chi! Chi!

However, just as they neared the tornado, gales that blotted the skies howled over, with countless black spatial wind blades hiding the skies and covering the earth as they shot over. With such a number, they would truly be rather terrifying for anyone.

Ah! Ah!

As the black spatial wind blades howled past, miserable shrieks instantly rang out, while the boundless Spiritual Energy surrounding those people were unexpectedly sliced apart by those spatial wind blades. As their bodies were cut into pieces, blood and flesh started to spurt throughout the skies.

The only fellows with a protective Spiritual Weapon was able to miserably retreat at the instant when using them to block those spatial wind blades. However, they had still paid a rather terrible price. After landing in an appalling fashion on the ground, their blood-soaked figures appeared extremely miserable and hideous.

In the darkness, quite a few people sucked in a breath of cold air at the scene that had unfolded before them as they thought, Those spatial gales are truly terrifying. The people that had just taken action all had strength on the level of Heavenly Completion Stage, with one of them even reaching Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase, but was still sent flying back in a miserable fashion. However, compared to the unfortunate fellows who were cut and sliced apart, they were already extremely lucky.

Seeing the first batch of people paying such a miserably heavy price, those people that had turned bloodshot by the Spiritual Treasure started to gradually calm down. Their foreheads brimming within cold sweat, they didn’t dare to recklessly take action again.

While they did so, the spatial gales were still rampaging and wreaking about havoc. Like an incomparably large black-coloured giant dragon, the tornado twisted and turned about, exhibiting its astonishing power.

“When do we take action?” asked Xia Youran as she looked towards Mu Chen. “I suggest that we wait till this tornado weakens before taking action. Would that be alright?”

An expression of pondering flashed within Mu Chen’s head. With a shake of his head, he replied, “Senior Sister Xia. Right now, everyone else also has the same line of thought as you. That’s why, once the tornado truly weakens, I’m afraid that everyone would also take action at the same time as us. Under that chaos, wanting to obtain that Spiritual Treasure might be even more difficult than now.”

“So, what’s your plan?”asked Xia Youran with a slight frown appearing on her forehead.

“Senior Sister Xia, could you possibly lend me your Wind Resistance Spiritual Pearl for a moment?”

“You want to head in there alone?” Xia Youran was shocked, while a faint change of expression appeared on her lovable face. Even a Heavenly Completion Stage Late Phase person would be quite hard-pressed to resist against those spatial gales. With Mu Chen’s strength at the Heavenly Completion Stage Initial Phase, everything pointed to disaster for him if he was to head into the tornado.

With a smile, Mu Chen replied, “Senior Sister Xia. There’re still a few people eyeing covetously at that Spiritual Treasure. I can feel a few fierce and rather formidable fluctuations coming from around us. Look’s like there’s some difficult characters in this area. Therefore, I hope that you can help me obstruct them at this place. As for the matter about obtaining that Spiritual Treasure, you can leave it to me.”

Hearing his reply, Xia Youran’s frown persisted, appearing as if she wanting to advise against such action. However, in the end, she was stopped by the smile hanging on the face of the youth in front of her. Sighing in helplessness, she gently nodded her head in acknowledgement.

While Mu Chen was discussing with Xia Youran in a soft voice, there were two figures shooting cold and detached gazes towards them from a mountain crevice not far away from them. Their appearances were the Young Masters of the Umbra and Heavenly Yuan Chambers of Commerce, Liu Ying and Dong Yuan.

“Haha. This truly is the inevitable clash between enemies,” said Dong Yuan as he looked towards the male and female not far away from him. With a smile, he continued speaking, “Looks like they have their eyes on that Spiritual Treasure, too. Any thoughts?”

Pressing his palm against the hard mountain wall, his five fingers appeared like knifes, carving five deep grooves into the rock. Patting his hands together with indifference, he stared towards Mu Chen’s figure, while shadows of darkness flashed within his eyes.

“Relax, that brat doesn’t have the luck and fortune to enjoy such a Spiritual Treasure.”
