Chapter 579 (2/2)
“Mu Chen! If you dare to speak anymore nonsense, do you believe that I will not trample you to death?!” Wen Qingxuan’s willowy eyebrows immediately turned slightly vertical. Staring right at Mu Chen, she proceeded to clench her teeth and growled.
Hearing that Mu Chen immediately laughed.
“With Liu Qingyun added in, this isn’t good news for us,” said Luo Li in a soft voice as she looked towards Mu Chen. The people they had defeated earlier, like Lu Tian and Wu Jiang, were not a match for this Liu Qingyun. The latter was like them, coming from one of the five Great Academies, and was even a genius from the Wind Spirit Clan. He was extremely strong, be it his talent or his background. If he wanted to help Ji Xuan, this would create quite a bit of pressure for Mu Chen and his group.
Hearing that, Mu Chen nodded his head and replied, “Furthermore, I’m afraid that Ji Xuan still has more in store for us…”
Ji Xuan stood in the air not far away, a calm and tranquil gaze still present within his eyes as he looked towards Mu Chen. Without any ripples of shock or astonishment present on his face, he raised his hand once more, before giving a gentle wave down.
“Brother Fang Yun, please reveal yourself.”
As Ji Xuan’s indifferent-sounding voice rang out, a chill seemed to have blown across the expressions of quite a few people. Fang Yun? Could it be that Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy’s Fang Yun, who’s currently the 6th place on the point rankings?
“Cough. Look’s like this can be considered as the most spectacular confrontation within the entirety of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament before the final match. Therefore, it would be extremely regretful if I’m absent at here.” As Ji Xuan’s voice rang out, a laughter rang out. Everyone’s sight converged over, only to see the sea of humans suddenly part there, before multiple figures slowly walked out from within.
The person standing in the lead was dressed in white robes, while having a delicate and effeminate appearance. His hair had an ash-grey colour to it, while his pair of eyes appeared exceedingly radiant. At this moment, a faint smile was present on his face as he looked over to the stretch of land before him, where the seas of humans had converged to.
An Academy Insignia was similarly present on his chest, with the image of nine cauldrons present on it.
That was the mark of the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy. A hundred years ago, the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy was once a member of the five Great Academies. Falling into decline thereafter, it had resulted in them losing the title of being one of the five Great Academies. Nevertheless, though, the Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy similarly possessed exceedingly astonishing might. The group they had sent to participate in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament and being about to obtain the 6th place on the point rankings were more than sufficient to confirm that fact.
Not surprisingly, Fang Yun’s appearance had caused waves of clamoring to erupt, with shock and astonishment appearing in the gazes of quite a few people.The people that Ji Xuan had invited over were all peak-level characters that possessed the qualifications to contend for the 8 quotas present for the final match.
From the looks of it, Ji Xuan truly had came prepared. He truly wanted to completely destroy Mu Chen and his group.
Gazes that blotted the sky all converged onto Mu Chen, with ambiguous expressions present within their eyes. At this moment, no one really knew if the latter would be able to make a proper retreat under such a line-up prepared by Ji Xuan.
“Mu Chen, are you satisfied in the show I’ve prepared just for you?” said Ji Xuan with a faint smile as he looked towards Mu Chen. “If you’re not satisfied…”
As his voice rang out, he extended his slender palms and gave a gentle clap.
Seeing that action, the eyelids of the crowd around could not help rapidly twitching, while shock overwhelmed their hearts. Could it be that this hasn’t come to an end?
Whoosh!
As Ji Xuan’s clap rang out, a blood-red shade suddenly swept across from the distant horizon. Appearing as blood-red akin to a river of blood, it swept across the horizon, before rushing towards the region populated by the attentive gazes of countless experts.
Seeing the river of blood, Mu Chen’s eyes instantly, slightly narrowed, while chilling intent gushed from the beautiful eyes of Luo Li standing beside him.
As the river of blood dissipated away, multiple figures appeared in a flash from within. Those figures were dressed in blood-red robes, with a familiar-looking face located in their midst. That was precisely the person that had escaped from the Divine Wood Palace after being injured by Mu Chen, Xue Tiandou.
At this moment, Xue Tiandou was sending a dark and sinister gaze towards Mu Chen. Nevertheless, though, he clearly wasn’t the main character there, as a youth with blood-red hair stood right before him.
This youth also wore a set of blood-red robes. Sweeping his red, malevolent eyes over, he finally rested his gaze onto Luo Li’s body, before saying with a faint smile, “It truly has been a long time, Luo Li.”
Tightly clenching her Luo Shen Sword, Luo Li’s clear and beautiful eyes were brimming with chilling intent. As her red lips slightly parted, a clear and cold voice rang out from within, “Xue Tianhe, I never imagined that even you, the third prince of the Blood God Clan would come over here.”
“For you, the future Empress of the Luo God Clan, it won’t be overboard for any of our Blood God Clan to come over,” replied the youth by the name of Xue Tianhe with a smile.
Within the entire region, quite a few gazes fluctuated between shock and doubt as they looked towards this Xue Tianhe. Although this name had yet to appear in the Top 16, anyone would be able to sense the pressure brought about by him, which was not the slightest bit weaker than Liu Qingyun or Fang Yun.
All three of these figures were of the heavyweight-class.
For the sake of dealing with Mu Chen, Ji Xuan had truly done his homework. All of the people that he had called out to absolutely possessed the qualifications to contend for the final match quotas. They were the true figures at the peak of the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament.
“Mu Chen…”
A warm and gentle smile surfaced once again on Ji Xuan’s handsome face. Looking towards Mu Chen and his group, who were surrounded on all sides, he said in a slow manner, “Are you satisfied with my preparations?”
Gazes blotting the skies all shot towards Mu Chen. Faced against such a frightening line-up, even formidable characters like Mu Chen, Luo Li and Wen Qingxuan should feel extreme pressure.
This wasn’t a good situation to break.
The cards that Ji Xuan had brought out all possessed extreme might.
Faced against this situation, what would Mu Chen do?
Under the countless attentive gazes shooting over, Mu Chen slowly raised his head. At this moment, there curiously wasn’t much shock or fear present on his handsome face. On the contrary, a faint smile had surfaced on it, before his soft voice rang out.
“Are you done already?”
Despite not sounding deep, when this voice entered the ears of the masses, it caused their hearts to violently shudder.
