Bang!
The terrifying tornado-like Spiritual Energy erratically swept across the horizon, causing the clouds in the sky to split and shatter apart. As the shock waves surged and rumbled, loud claps of thunder could seemingly be heard resounding across the region.
As the frightening Spiritual Energy shock waves shot out, ripples from it started to affect the battlefield below, causing Xu Huang and the other two to miserably retreat back, their eyes brimming with shock as they looked towards the confrontation happening in the skies. They had never seen such a confrontation before, not even from the fights Mu Chen had with experts of Spiritual Energy Disaster. Indeed, this Wen Qingxuan wasn’t simple at all, being actually able to force Mu Chen to such a degree.
Whoosh!
Under their shocked and terrified gazes, the storm of Spiritual Energies swept out, while two figures shot out from within.
Boom!
As they retreated back in the air, every single step they made caused the air to explode apart, while giant craters formed in the ground beneath them. Cracks extended from them like spiderwebs, revealing the astonishing destructive power caused by the collision of their attacks.
Heavily stomping his feet, a shiver shook through Mu Chen’s body as he finally got rid of the frightening force of rebound acting upon him. At this moment, his expression became exceedingly solemn, while the Great Meru Demonic Pillar surfaced behind his body, radiating with astonishing ominous energies. Raising his head, he focused his gaze towards the slender and elegant figure in the distance.
At this moment, the golden war spear was still present in Wen Qingxuan’s hands, while the golden battle armor encased her slender and exquisite figure. After experiencing the tyrannical head-on collision of their attacks, she appeared to have not received any injury from it. On the contrary, scorching-hot fighting intent gushed from her pair of beautiful eyes. Mu Chen’s power and strength had clearly exceeded what she had expected.
Although the opposite party had the assistance of that black-coloured demonic pillar, this was the first time she had seen someone being able to contend against her with a cultivation only at the realm of Human Body Disaster.
“The Blood Calamity of the Spiritual Road is a well-deserved title for you,” said Wen Qingxuan with a smile as she tilted her golden war spear forward.
“The wielder of the Spiritual Road’s Spiritual Crown is truly formidable,” replied Mu Chen with a faint smile. The black lightning light radiating from his body showed not even the slightest sign of turning weaker. The girl before his eyes, Wen Qingxuan, absolutely possessed the qualifications to make him treat her with caution. Regardless of any connections, just based on talent and strength, there were only two people he had met in the last few years that was able to make him feel especially dreadful and cautious when around them.
One of them was Ji Xuan, while the other one was Luo Li. Now, he had to add Wen Qingxuan to this list.
As the Great Meru Demonic Pillar hovered behind Mu Chen, scarlet-red runes sparkled on the surface of its gigantic body. Boundless ominous energies continued to radiate from it, before pouring into Mu Chen’s body yet again, providing him massive levels of power.
“Between you and Ji Xuan, I wonder which of you is more formidable.” Suddenly, Wen Qingxuan gave a laugh as her jade-like hands tightly clenched her golden war spear.
“Won’t you know it after you’ve tried?” replied Mu Chen in an indifferent tone as his gaze slightly drooped down.
Hearing the faint and minute fluctuations surfacing within Mu Chen’s tone, a crafty smile curled up at the corner of Wen Qingxuan’s small red mouth. From the looks of it, there truly were some deep grudges and grievances between Mu Chen and Ji Xuan.
“Then I, Qingxuan, will accept your invitation!” Fighting intent surged within Wen Qingxuan’s beautiful eyes as she gave her reply. Mu Chen’s strength had truly ignited the competitive spirit present in her heart. She had never once assumed that she was weaker than any man. Furthermore, the opposite possessing strength exceeding her own was something that was extremely disliked by her.
“Heavenly Phoenix Spear!”
Boundless golden light erupted once again from Wen Qingxuan. With a clench of her jade-like hands, the golden war spear ferociously left her hands. Violently expanding in size, it grew to a gigantic size of a hundred metres in length. As golden light gushed from it, it transformed into a spectacular beam of golden light, shooting at lightning speed towards Mu Chen in an overbearing and incomparably fierce manner.
Upon seeing this, not daring to neglect the incoming attack, Mu Chen gave a hug towards the air before him. Causing the Great Meru Demonic Pillar behind him to rush towards the sky. Immediately, ominous energies hid the sky and covered the earth as they swept out, preparing to face the incoming attack once again.
Scree!
However, just as Mu Chen was about to take action once more, a clear and resonant sword cry resounded across the region. A flash swept by Mu Chen’s gaze as a hundred metre shadow longsword split the air apart as it suddenly shot by, instantaneously appearing in front of the golden war spear, before smashing right into it.
Ding!
A clear metallic sound resounded as Sword Aura and Spear Aura swept out.
A slender and soul-stirring figure appeared right on top of the shadow sword. With a raise of her jade-like hand, currents of Sword Aura gushed from within, heavily smashing against the golden war spear. The might of the surging force immediately sent the golden war spear flying back.
Seeing this, Wen Qingxuan raised her eyebrows, and moved her hand, which caused the golden war spear to rapidly shrink in size, before it returned to her hands as a golden beam of light.
“Captain Wen Qingxuan, if you really want to take action, let me accompany you.” Standing tall on the gigantic shadow sword, a frosty expression covered the entirety of her exquisite, porcelain-like face as she spoke out. Staring right at Wen Qingxuan, she spread her jade-like hands apart, and slowly raised her Luo God Sword. In the next instant, astonishingly fierce Sword Intent started to radiate from it.
“Luo Li, it’s he who asked me to test it out. Didn’t you hear what he said just now?” Seeing that Luo Li was about to take action, a sweet smile appeared on Wen Qingxuan’s face as she said in helplessness.
