Chapter 689 (2/2)

Upon hearing Mu Chen’s words, Cao Feng finally lost his calm composure. He began to laugh, his expression twisting into a grotesque grimace. He then surged out violently, as he swore to beat up this brat, to the point of crippling him. Then, he’d see if he still dared to say such foolish words!

Whoosh!

An enraged Cao Feng dealt a blow, its speed appearing in front of Mu Chen, as if it was a specter. Then, without any hesitation, a punch flew out, causing frenzied torrents of spiritual energy to surge out, as if a turbulent sea that was crashing toward Mu Chen.

The power of a Second Grade Sovereign had erupted with one blow of his fist. This blow was sufficient enough to defeat any First Grade Sovereign.

A storm of fists raged with the might of a tumultuous sea, as the golden platform quaked with the impact. Clearly, Cao Feng had not shown any mercy.

The punches expanded swiftly before Mu Chen’s dark eyes, but he still showed no signs of retreating. He crossed his arms lightly, his eyes turning crimson red, as a demonic aura permeated the air and swept across the space violently.

Crash!

The Great Meru Demonic Pillar materialized between his arms, as he swung it harshly to block the barrage of punches.

Bong!

The collision caused a low rumble to erupt, as a frenzy of shockwaves wreaked havoc, causing small cracks to appear on the golden platform. That collision caused even Xu Qing and Zhou Yue to narrow their eyes.

Crash!

In the aftermath, where spiritual energy shockwaves wreaked havoc, two silhouettes fell backwards. The Great Meru Demonic Pillar spun in Mu Chen’s hands, before crashing onto the ground heavily. He gripped the Demonic Pillar with one hand, as his body steadied, lifting his head to look at Cao Feng, who now had a gloomy expression.

“I see, that’s all there is to a Second Grade Sovereign,” Mu Chen stated calmly.

Although his ability was only that of a First Grade Sovereign, Mu Chen’s spiritual energy had integrated with that of the Unperishable Flame, so it was naturally stronger than that of Cao Feng’s. With the power of the Great Meru Demonic Pillar adding to that, even if it was a direct clash, Mu Chen would not be at much of a disadvantage.

“Aren’t you scared that you would be disgraced later, after saying such words?” Cao Feng said scornfully, his gaze growing more chilling, as he clenched his fists.

Majestic spiritual light surged and swept across the space. Then, a crimson red spear appeared in his hand. The spear was blood red, as if it had been through a bloodbath, and it emitted a ghastly aura. At the tip of the spear, a blood red eye of an eagle stood, increasing its unsettling aura.

“That’s the Blood Hawk Spear from Blood Hawk Palace, a Middle Grade Divine Artifact and a valuable treasure of Blood Hawk Palace. Lord Blood Hawk is sure generous, to give such a Divine Artifact to Cao Feng.” Upon seeing the crimson Blood Hawk Spear, Tang Bing’s heart tensed, as she commented.

Worry and anxiety was also written all over Tang Rou’s face. With the Blood Hawk Spear in his grasp, Cao Feng’s demeanor became more domineering. And, with a jerk of his spear, a sharp cry of an eagle rang out in the sky, immediately followed by a bloody aura ripple, as if it were tearing the sky apart.

Whoosh!

Cao Feng’s figure surged out violently, as he transformed into many afterimages, his spear turning into crimson red torrential rain. The crimson rainstorm immediately shrouded Mu Chen, and a murderous intent swept across the entire arena. Mu Chen retreated half a step back, as the Great Meru Demonic Pillar swept out, blocking the spear with its massive size.

Clink! Clink! Clatter! Clatter!

The lightning-fast collision caused sparks to emerge, each clash resulting in terrifying bursts of spiritual energy, as the entire space distorted with the impact. Both parties did not use any defense, but wholly attacked in order to fend off their aggressors’ attacks, which was very exhilarating to witness.

Countless people in the crowd widened their eyes to get a better look at the two blurry figures. However, no matter how fierce the other party’s attack was, it was difficult for either to break through in order to land a definitive blow.

Shock surfaced in many people’s eyes, as they realized that, in this head-on confrontation, Cao Feng, who was supposedly more powerful than Mu Chen, did not gain an upper hand in the least. Cao Feng had clearly realized this, as his gaze turned increasingly chilling. Then, with a tip of his toes, his figure surged into mid-air, as the Blood Hawk Spear in his hand emanated a bloody aura of ten thousand feet, and a sharp and piercing cry of the eagle rang throughout the heavens and earth.

“Eagle Spear, Eagle Splitting the Space!”

A bloody aura spewed forth, as a Blood Hawk soared from the Blood Hawk Spear, its size was massive, reaching to nearly a hundred feet! It extended its wings, as it integrated with the fierce aura of the spear and rushed to envelop Mu Chen, with a momentum as swift as lightning.

“Just die!” Cao Feng roared, his growl permeating the atmosphere.

Mu Chen lifted his head. A sharp glance surged in his dark eyes upon seeing the brutal attack, causing him to pause to take a deep breath. His hand then jerked the Great Meru Demonic Pillar, causing it to land heavily on the ground, as ancient demonic runes glimmered on the primordial Demonic Pillar.

In that moment, an indescribable demonic aura permeated the heavens and earth, as if a primordial demonic creature had awakened, causing everyone to look on in shock. The crimson red in Mu Chen’s eyes grew rapidly, as a low growl sounded in his heart.

“The Great Meru Demonic Pillar, Swinging Demonic Runes!”
