Chapter 604: Battling Liu Qingyun

“Mu Chen, I’m here to stop you.”

As Liu Qingyun spoke, his eyes shone with a light of indifference and on his face was an apathetic smile.

Perhaps no one felt that it was inappropriate for Liu Qingyun to say such arrogant things because he did have the capability to back it up. Though Mu Chen may have been first in the playoffs, everyone knew that the final battle was completely different from the knockout phase. All eight teams remaining possessed top strength, and all eight captains were not weaklings who could be messed with.

Nobody could be said to have a hundred percent chance in winning this confrontation. Just one careless mistake could send all previous efforts down the drain and become others’ stepping stones.

On hearing those words, Mu Chen also smiled slightly. In a flash, he brandished his Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear, which was emitting ominous Qi, and pointed the spear tip straight at Liu Qingyun.

“That of course, will depend on Captain Liu’s skills.” Mu Chen’s lips remained curled and his voice was peaceful. He was not at all angered by Liu Qingyun’s provocation. Instead, his state of mind was so calm that it could be compared to a secluded pond.

Liu Qingyun focused his vision on Mu Chen and some of the indifference on his face dissipated. He was not stupid. After watching Mu Chen and Ji Xuan’s battle, he also had realized the importance of the need to guard against Mu Chen, since his strength was already enough to be seen as that of a worthy opponent.

He had only tried provocation to break Mu Chen’s state of mind because even the smallest of mistakes could cause the results to change in this confrontation.

Well, sadly, his little trick did not work. “It’s going to be a tough match,” he said.

Liu Qingyun smiled lightly and his state of mind also grew calm. He held out his palm and suddenly great winds stirred. Green lights seemed to quickly form on his palm.

Whoosh!

As the green lights coalesced, a long, flashy green halberd appeared in Liu Qingyun’s hands. Accompanied by the appearance of the halberd, whirlwinds which could be seen with the naked eye instantly started gathering all around Liu Qingyun.

The tip of the halberd seemed as if it were absorbing and gathering all the wind in the world, and even space seemed to become slightly twisted at that point in time.

The green glowing halberd seemed to look more powerful when compared to Mu Chen’s Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear.

Mu Chen eyed the halberd. That halberd in Liu Qingyun’s hands emitted extremely awe-inducing ripples in the air. However, ripples of that kind were definitely not something a Spiritual Artifact could have.

Mu Chen took a deep breath. An extremely fierce light was surging up in his black eyes.

Spear versus halberd.

Even before the fight started, that was a head-on confrontation between the two.

While Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun were all ready for a showdown on their battle stage, the other battle stages also had surging Spiritual Energy and were surrounded with Spiritual Energy pressure.

Students from different Spirit Academies were gathered near the platforms, all holding their breath in anticipation, their eyes glittering with excitement. The battles of the eight finalists were finally going to unfold.

And no one knew who was eventually going to have the last laugh.

Boom!

The crisp sound of a large bell rang out suddenly and resonated within the world.

Just at the moment when the bell rang, Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun’s eyes turned fierce, and strong spirit power shot out of their bodies like a storm.

Whoosh!

Both stomped their feet fiercely on the ground and their figures shot out at each other. All that the audience could see was two blurred figures running at the speed of light. At the next moment, the two figures had already met in the center of the huge gold platform.

Whish!

The Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear stabbed out as the ominous Qi surrounded it. The force was so strong that the spear seemed like a fierce beast pouncing onto its victim. With the amount of Spirit infused in the spear, even the air was torn apart.

The glowing green halberd, on the other hand, carried a strong wind. There seemed to be ancient runes flashing at its tip, looking extremely magical.

Clink!

The tip of the spear and the halberd came straight at each other and met with incredibly accuracy, sending sparks sputtering into the air. Spiritual Energy visible to the naked eye also rippled through the air, causing many sudden explosions.

“That’s a good spear.”

Liu Qingyun looked at the Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear in Mu Chen’s hands and smiled lightly. Then he sneered. “Unfortunately, you should not have confronted me straight on.”

“Divine Winds Halberd, Roaring Winds!”

Along with the low bellow from Liu Qingyun, a whirlwind swept out from the Divine Wind Halberd as blue runes flashed at its tip. The force was so great that Mu Chen was taken by surprise and was made to back up a dozen steps.

“Stabbing Winds!”

Mu Chen backed off but Liu Qingyun approached him like a gust of wind. The overwhelming shadows of his halberd seemed to be integrated silently into the breeze, but it had all of Mu Chen’s vital areas within reach.

Liu Qingyun’s attacks were fierce and ruthless, and not the slightest bit sloppy.

Mu Chen’s eyes contained slight solemness. He shook his arm and his Devouring Dragon Demonic Spear gave out a sharp burst of roars. It then melted into countless shadows, covering all the space ahead of him.

Jingle!

Countless spear and halberd shadows flew and touched crazily in the air. With each touch, piercing noises and beautiful yet deadly dangerous sparks bloomed from them like fireworks.

Anyone could see that both Mu Chen and Liu Qingyun did not hold back even the slightest bit. Those attacks were so powerful that if someone who had just passed his Spirit Stage were to take the blows, he would be pierced through immediately.
