The light image gradually took form outside the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard. When that light image appeared, everyone could sense extremely shocking Spiritual Energy ripples being unleashed. The Spiritual Energy pressure froze even the space.

The faces of Mu Chen, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan turned grave. The sudden change of events had far surpassed their expectations. Who could have thought that the Academy Alliance would hide such a trump card…?

“The strength of this Courtyard Spirit…is something that even First Grade Spirit Disaster probably could not fend against.” Luo Li said with a solemn expression as she tightly gripped her Luo God Sword.

Mu Chen lightly nodded his head in agreement with his brows furrowed. The current situation had became exceedingly troublesome. The fluctuation that was released from the Courtyard Spirit was definitely something that ordinary Spirit Disaster experts could not contend against.

“Haha, Mu Chen, how is it? No matter how powerful you guys are, didn’t you guys lose this game of chess?” Mo Yu stood within the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard as he looked at Mu Chen’s group of three, whose expressions were grave, and he could not help smiling as the proudness could not be concealed in his laughter. With this trump card, no matter how powerful Mu Chen and his group of three were, they could not change this outcome.

“You say that the Courtyard Spirit would indiscriminately clear out anyone that is not within the protection of the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard…” Mu Chen looked at Mo Yu as he continued, “Are you guys planning on hiding inside here even after obtaining the treasure in the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard?”

Mo Yu’s expression turned serious. He never thought that Mu Chen would discover this difficult problem that they would soon face. Just as Mu Chen had said, although they were the ones that summoned the Courtyard Spirit, it was impossible for them to control it. They would be out of the Courtyard Spirit’s attacking range when they were inside the protection radius. However, the instant they stepped out of that radius, they would face the hostility of the Courtyard Spirit.

“You don’t have to worry about that.”

Mo Yu coldly sneered. Although this was indeed a problem, the important issue was to deal with Mu Chen’s group of three at this moment.

Just as the two of them were conversing, the eyes of the Courtyard Spirit that was hovering in the sky of the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard shone with brilliance. It swept its eyes out and fixed onto Mu Chen’s group of three. Thereafter, a hoarse voice resounded from its mouth, “Kill those who intrude without permission.”

“Careful!”

The instant it spoke, Mu Chen yelled with his face changing.

Rustle!

It was as if a Spiritual Energy tornado was scraping around the Courtyard Spirit. With a flash, its figure had appeared before Wen Qinxuan like a ghost. Its palm that was emitting dazzling brilliance carried a hurricane-like Spiritual Energy as it slapped down on Wen Qingxuan without any hint of mercy.

Rumble!

The air exploded in its palm, twisting even the space.

Wen Qingxuan was well-aware of how powerful the Courtyard Spirit was as her face turned grave. The golden warspear burst forth with golden brilliance once again and under the clear cry of a phoenix, it turned into a sharp golden light as it shot towards the palm of the Courtyard Spirit at light speed.

Boom!

The instant the two forces clashed, fearsome Spiritual Energy swept out as Wen Qingxuan’s figure trembled for a moment before flying away.

Mu Chen’s figure appeared behind Wen Qingxuan at this moment as he pushed his palm against her shoulders. The earth-shattering impact was instantly transferred to him, causing wounds to tear open on his arm.

There was no expression on the Courtyard Spirit’s face as it waved its hands, unleashing a powerful ray of light as it surrounded Mu Chen and Wen Qingxuan.

Shhhhuuuu!

Boundless sharp sword light swept out from the rear as it clashed with the Spiritual Energy. The Spiritual Energy Sword Aura wrecked havoc as it tore the earth apart.

Luo Li’s figure flashed as she appeared beside Wen Qingxuan. Sharp Sword Intent was being emitted from the Luo God Sword as it fixed onto the Courtyard Spirit as a great opponent.

“This Courtyard Spirit might possess the strength of Third Grade Spirit Disaster.” Wen Qingxuan said solemnly.

When Mu Chen and Luo Li heard her words, their faces changed. The Courtyard Spirit was actually so powerful? The strength of a Third Grade Spirit Disaster wasn’t something that they could deal with. Furthermore, even if they managed to clench victory with all sorts of trump cards used, they would still have to pay a huge price. However, that was probably what Mo Yu and his group would want to see the most.

“What should we do now?” Luo Li said with a low voice as she looked at Mu Chen.

Wen Qingxuan had also directed her gaze towards Mu Chen. The strength of this Courtyard Spirit that stood before them had strength that surpassed their expectations. If they were to continue on fighting, it would definitely not be good news for them. After all, due to the Sealing Spiritual Array, her and Luo Li’s strength were sealed and could not use them to the fullest.

“Retreat.”

Mu Chen’s eyes flickered as he said with no hesitation. The situation had already gone out of their control. No matter how many methods they had, they would have to pay a huge price in order to deal with the Courtyard Spirit that possessed the strength of a Third Grade Spirit Disaster. Therefore, no matter how unwilling they were, they could only choose to retreat.

Hearing Mu Chen’s words, Luo Li nodded her head without any hesitation. Wen Qingxuan, however, was looking towards the protective radius of the Hidden Spiritual Courtyard, at Qin Feng’s group, whose faces were filled with complacency.

Boom!
