Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
The gigantic Wooden Divine Guard towered over the interior of the giant hall, sending out waves of powerful pressure radiating out.This cause all the Spiritual Energy within the giant hall slow signs of freezing and turning sluggish. This Wooden Divine Guard possessed an extremely powerful level of might.
“Hahaha, weren’t you so strong just now, Mu Chen? Want to go for another round with my Wooden Divine Guard?”
Zhen Qing cackled as he watched on. With the Wooden Divine Guard on his side, he could finally relax. No matter how many more tricks Mu Chen had up his sleeves, there was absolutely no way he could turn the tables around.
Furrowing his eyebrows, Mu Chen stared at the Wooden Divine Guard. This latter’s gigantic body appeared to be made of weathered wood, with rays of brilliance sparkling out of glowing patterns on the surface. The powerful energies radiating out from it caused prickling pain sensations to be felt on his skin. This was the response his body had in the face of danger. Clearly, this Wooden Divine Guard possessed a frightening level of power that even his Four Rune Lightning Physique wasn’t able to endure.
The Wooden Divine Guard before him might possess strength that was comparable to someone that have passed their Spiritual Energy Disaster…Furthermore, according to what Zhen Qing had said, this still wasn’t its full strength…
The situation now had indeed become even more nasty than before.
“Next up, all of you can go and die.” said Zhen Qing as he grinned towards Mu Chen and Luo Li, his face brimming with a sinister shade. In the next instant, with a change of his hand seal, the tree leaf rune on the forehead of the Wooden Divine Guard started to sparkled before the latter’s gigantic body started to shoot forwards. Bringing forth a frightening level of power, its giant fist hurtled straight towards the two.
With a shift of his body, a dragon shade seemed to surface at Mu Chen’s feet. In a flash, he retreated back, with Luo Li similarly retreating back at rapid speeds.
Bang!
The fist of the Wooden Divine Guard struck the ground, causing intense vibrations to rock through the entire giant hall. Gigantic fissures extended out across the ground akin to gigantic snakes, showing off its heart palpitating destructive power.
WhoosH!
With its fist striking air, the glowing rune on its forehead sparkled once more. Instantly, its gigantic frame shot out immediately, appearing right before Mu Chen in a flash. Clearly, not only did it possess astonishing might, it also possessed a rather quick speed.
Boom!
The Wooden Divine Guard sent yet another fist rumbling out, causing the air before it to completely explode apart.
Seeing this, Mu Chen’s expression changed slightly. With a fierce shake of the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear in his hand, an ominous aura swept out as it transformed into a gigantic demonic dragon. Bringing forth surging ominous qi, it smashed head on against the Wooden Divine Guard.
Bang!
Energy shockwaves swept out like a hurricane, with the ground below Mu Chen’s feet immediately collapsing apart. At this instant, Mu Chen’s body was sent flying backwards. Transforming back into a long spear, the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear landed back into his hand, while his sleeves were torn into shreds. As he did so, a sliver of blood dripped down from the corner of his mouth. Clearly, he had suffered some damage from the head on collision with the Wooden Divine Guard.
The Wooden Divine Guard’s gigantic figure rushed straight towards Mu Chen once again, its weathered wood fist enveloping over him like a shadow.
Swish!
However, before the Wooden Divine Guard could attack Mu Chen once again, a beautiful figure shot abruptly before him. In the next instant, an incomparably fierce Sword Aura current howled out, heading straight towards the head of the Wooden Divine Guard.
Sensing the incoming fierce Sword Aura current, the Wooden Divine Guard suddenly came to a halt. Extending its gigantic palm out, it blocked itself against the Sword Aura current sweeping over, which left a deep fissure on its wither wood palm. Although it indeed possessed an extremely strong defense, Luo Li’s Luo Shen Sword clearly wasn’t something that could be easily defended against.
If Luo Li’s cultivation realm was higher, she would be able to activate the truly power of this Divine Weapon of the Luo God Clan. At that time, a single slash from it would be able to chop of the giant hand of this Wooden Divine Guard.
Mu Chen took this opportunity to retreat back. However, wrinkles started to form on his forehead, as the defense of this Wooden Divine Guard was exceedingly strong. When faced against his and Luo Li’s earlier attacks, it had always met them head on with its own. However, this time, it had chose to defend against her attack. This might be due to the dread Zhen Qing had towards the Luo Shen Sword. However, this might not be the entire reason.
As his eyes sparkled, Mu Chen could not help but to rest his gaze on the tree leaf like rune present on the forehead of the Wooden Divine Guard. In the next instant, his shot a look from the corner of his eye towards Zhen Qing. It seemed that every single time the hand seal of that fellow changes, the tree leaf on its forehead would sparkle and light up…
That tree leaf rune was precisely the thing that Zhen Qing and his group had snatched away from them.
From the looks of it, it seems that this tree leaf rune just so happened to be able to allow for the control of this Wooden Divine guard. That’s why Zhen Qing didn’t attempt to snatch away the Immortal Divine Tree and rush straight towards that unassuming tree leaf rune…
Fluttering down, Luo Li descended by Mu Chen’s side. Shooting a look at him, she spoke out, “Are you alright?”
Mu Chen replied a slight shake of his head. Fortunately, he had cultivated his Lightning God’s Physique to a Four Rune Lightning Physique. If not, the fist sent out from the Wooden Divine Guard would cause serious injuries towards any ordinary person who had passed their Fleshly Body Tribulation.
“Haha. Looks like the two of you are unable to create any waves today.” looking towards Mu Chen and Luo, who were forced to retreat in succession by the Wooden Divine Guard, Zhen Qing could not help but to laugh out.
Hearing those words, a chilling glow flashed faintly across Luo Li’s eyes. Gripping her Luo Shen Sword tightly, she spoke out with a voice tinged with chilling intent. “Isn’t it too early to be happy? Do you truly believe that I won’t be able to chop of the head of this block of wood?”
A sliver of fury flashed across the exquisite face of the young girl. Having fought all out against Xia Hou earlier, Mu Chen’s condition was naturally not good. The previous head on collision with the Wooden Divine Guard should have caused even more injuries for him. This caused her to feel her heart ache slightly, while also causing killing intent to gush out from within.
As her voice rang out, astonishing sword cries erupted out from her Luo Shen Sword while glowing lines seemed to extend all over the body of the sword. In the next instant, an incomparable feeling of sharpness radiated out quietly, causing even the surrounding space to tremble slightly.
Sensing the sharp and fierce sword intent radiating out, Zhen Qing’s expression changed slightly, before giving a cold snort. Indeed, that Divine Sword’s formidable. If Luo Li had passed her Spiritual Energy Tribulation then, she might truly be able to be a threat towards the Wooden Divine Guard. However, it’s a pity that wasn’t the case…
