Chapter 590: Dragon-Tiger Cauldron

Outside the black spike forest stood Mu Chen’s group of five. Mu Chen’s brows were slightly narrowed as he looked ahead. On the hillside, Fang Yun was smiling as he looked at him with four of his teammates behind him eyeing their group, as well as powerful Spiritual Energy ripples around them.

The direction of Fang Yun and his team blocked off the path for them to enter the forest. If they intended to enter the forest, they would have the pass-through Fang Yun’s team.

From the looks of it, Fang Yun had been waiting for a long time.

“Haha, Captain Mu Chen, you can’t blame me for this, you can only blame yourself for being too greedy.” Fang Yun smiled as he looked at Mu Chen.

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes as he spoke, “Seems like Captain Fang Yun is not intending to let me pass?”

Fang Yun lightly shook his head as ferocity flashed past his eyes, looking at Mu Chen. The gentle smile still hung on his face as he replied, “Captain Mu Chen, I know that you are formidable. But after going through seven battles, I believe that you have exhausted a huge amount of your energy dealing with those Captains, right? Do you still have half of your fighting strength right now?”

“Furthermore… even if you managed to maintain your strength, your teammates are already a spent force. If you want to fight with us, I believe that your chances of winning aren’t too high.”

Mu Chen’s expression was indifferent as Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong’s gazes grew colder behind him, tightening their grip on their long spears.

“Therefore, I have to ask Captain Mu Chen to hand your Academy Plaque over to me.” Fang Yun extended his hand to Mu Chen as he laughed, “Don’t try to resist. Right now, there are many people eyeing your team as well. I’m afraid that your team can’t go through another round of exhaustion.”

A wind breezed by, but it wasn’t able to scatter the frozen atmosphere at this moment.

Fang Yun wore a cold smile on his face. His gaze stared straight towards Mu Chen. Admittedly, after the fight with Ji Xuan, Mu Chen’s fame had soared to the peak. However, he, Fang Yun, was not a weakling as well. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to come this far.

The two gazes interweaved in the air as sparks flickered.

“From the looks of it, you guys don’t seem too interested in my suggestion.” When Fang Yun saw that Mu Chen had no intentions of handing over his Academy Plaque, he helplessly smiled. However, there wasn’t any warmth in his smile.

“Since that’s the case, then I can only help myself to it.”

Fang Yun slowly lifted his palm up. On his palm, there was a palm-sized Divine Cauldron with spiritual light flowing on the surface. Ancient runes were imprinted on the bronze cauldron, looking vivid and life-like. Roars of a dragon could be heard as if it came from the surface of the cauldron.

This Divine Cauldron quietly floated on Fang Yun’s palm. Although there weren’t any terrifying ripples coming from it, Mu Chen could sense the dense danger.

“Divine Artifact?” Mu Chen said softly as his eyes narrowed, looking at the bronze cauldron in Fang Yun’s hand.

Mu Chen had a Quasi-Divine Artifact, the Black Tortoise Seal. However, he could vaguely sense that the cauldron in Fang Yun’s hand was more formidable compared to his Black Tortoise Seal.

The Black Tortoise Seal was a Quasi-Divine Artifact. Therefore, didn’t that imply that this bronze cauldron had already surpassed the level of Quasi-Divine Artifact and reached the Low Rank Divine Artifact?!

Low Rank Divine Artifact, entering the category of Divine Artifact, possessing unmeasurable power!

“Haha, this is the Divine Artifact of our Nine Cauldrons Spiritual Academy, a Low Rank Divine Artifact, the Dragon-Tiger Divine Cauldron…” Fang Yun looked at Mu Chen as he indifferently said, “Mu Chen, did you think that there was no one in the Great Spiritual Academy Tournament that could deal with you, just because you could fight with Ji Xuan on an equal level?”

Low Rank Divine Artifact – Dragon-Tiger Divine Cauldron.

When Fang Yun spoke the name, the look on Shen Cangsheng and the rest involuntarily changed. Although they had yet to witness the might of Fang Yun’s cauldron, the word Divine Artifact was sufficient to instill fear in their hearts. The Divine Artifact was a powerful term in the Great Thousand World, no matter where it was.

Those that possessed a Divine Artifact could even challenge those stronger than themselves.

Shhhhhhhhu! Suuuuuuu!

Just when Mu Chen and Fang Yun were facing off, there were screeches of wind ringing from the far away horizon. Streaks of light could be seen from far away, traveling at a rapid speed.

Clearly, those were probably teams that were after Mu Chen’s team.

Those teams stopped a distance away from the spike tree forest as they threw their gaze over. When they saw that Mu Chen’s team was obstructed by Fang Yun, excitement surged in their eyes.

Mu Chen’s current state wasn’t good. If he could battle with a powerful expert like Fang Yun, he would have to pay a huge price. At that time, they would have their opportunity.

“Fang Yun actually took out his Dragon-Tiger Divine Cauldron… seems like even he fears Mu Chen.” The eyes of some were sharp as they saw through the bronze cauldron in Fang Yun’s palm with a glance.

“Mu Chen is not an easy opponent. Even if his state isn’t in tip-top shape, it would be stupid to underestimate him. But clearly, Fang Yun isn’t someone like that.”

“Haha, fight. Fight as ferocious as possible, best if the both of them are gravely injured. At that time, we will have our opportunity.”

“…”

Whispers were coming from far away and the gazes directed over weren’t good.

Mu Chen had already taken notice of those distant people. Shen Cangsheng and Li Xuantong exchanged a glance as their hearts felt heavy.
