Mu Chen’s hand looked like an eagle’s claw. When Mu Chen caught Ji Xuan by the throat, many people were still in a daze. They were looking at the previous spot where Mu Chen had been. They now widened their eyes at the stunning sight before them.

Mu Chen stood upright, grabbed Ji Xuan by the throat, and lifted him up. Ji Xuan, who had earlier displayed great power, was now like a vulnerable baby. He looked pathetic and weak.

The entire place was in total silence. The scene was too shocking, and no one dared to make a sound.

No one had expected such a turn of events.

Ji Xuan, who had had the upper hand a while ago, was now suppressed by Mu Chen.

Mu Chen’s counterattack was direct and swift.

The onlookers were astonished by Mu Chen’s strength. He had reached a terrifying level that had way surpassed Ji Xuan’s, even though Ji Xuan had tapped into the power of the Ancient Dragonhawk.

What is going on?

Everyone could see that Ji Xuan’s face had turned red. He struggled crazily, looking humiliated and vicious. He nearly exploded out of anger. All these years, he had been invincible and had surpassed those who were of his age. The people respected him, and he had always triumphed over his opponents. He had never expected himself to be in such a pathetic state.

This was not something Ji Xuan could swallow, given his pride. He would rather die than to be humiliated.

“I will tear you up into pieces!” Ji Xuan roared. A majestic spiritual energy fluctuation surged and swirled out like a windstorm. It was like a ferocious dragon sweeping toward Mu Chen.

In the face of such a forceful attack, Mu Chen simply glanced at it. He flicked his fingers and a purple flame swirled out. The spiritual energy fluctuation was eliminated the moment it came into contact with the purple flame.

Swoosh!

Ji Xuan pointed his sharp, curved nails at Mu Chen’s eyes.

Dong!

However, before he could plant his nails on Mu Chen, Mu Chen attacked him with a powerful blow to his chest. Ji Xuan moaned. His chest seemed to cave in and blood was spewing out. Once again, he flew backward pathetically.

Bang!

While his body was still in the air, Mu Chen appeared before him. He looked at Ji Xuan coldly and attacked him with another heavy blow. Intensely hot purple flame surged on his fists, causing a severe space warp to form.

Mu Chen’s fist landed mercilessly on Ji Xuan’s body. The high heat caused Ji Xuan’s body to turn red, as though it were about to burst into flames.

Puh.

Ji Xuan spat out a mouthful of blood and landed hard on the collapsed battle stage. He laid down there with blood flowing continuously out of his body. His handsome face was twisted, and he looked horrifying.

He stared at Mu Chen, who was still in the air. His eyes were filled with bitterness and resentment. He looked as though he wanted to chew Mu Chen up. His body was shivering, and he muttered, “How can he… how can he have such great power?”

Ji Xuan had been about to win, but the turn of events had taken everyone by surprise.

“This power does not belong to him. Moreover, he has a stronger physique than you, which is why he can have greater power.” A cold voice sounded in Ji Xuan’s heart, “You have borrowed my strength, but you have barely reached Grade One Sovereign. However, he has the power of Grade Two Sovereign. Naturally, you are no match for him.”

“I want to kill him. I want to kill him!” Ji Xuan’s eyes turned red.

“Yes, you can. Let me control your body and I can easily kill him.” The cold, scheming voice laughed.

Ji Xuan gritted his teeth. Under normal circumstances, he would not have agreed to such a deal. However, as he looked at Mu Chen, who was looking down at him with disdain, he was filled with bitterness and resentment. He had lost his mind. He should have been the one to receive the glory from the people. He would not lie down like a dead dog.

He could not lose to Mu Chen!

He had said that he would trample on Mu Chen!

Ji Xuan shivered and said in resentment, “Kill him for me!”

“Hahaha, I will grant you your wish.” The eerie voice burst out in laughter.

Ji Xuan slowly closed his eyes.

His body had stopped bleeding, and the disordered spiritual energy fluctuation had gradually stabilized. He slowly opened his eyes, and they were no longer filled with bitterness and resentment. They now looked eerie.

Ji Xuan slowly stood up and twisted his neck. He was enjoying the body that was becoming familiar to him. He laughed out loud and said, “I can finally control the body…”

He lifted up his head, looked at Mu Chen, and said with a smile, “Thanks to you.”

Mu Chen frowned as he looked at Ji Xuan. Although there was no strong spiritual energy fluctuation, Mu Chen felt a sense of danger. Ji Xuan seemed so strange now, and no longer looked the same.

“Are you the Ancient Dragonhawk?” Mu Chen asked.
