Chapter 783 (2/2)

After executing the unusual moves she had performed under the watchful eyes of these people, Cai Xiao stretched her body. Her slender waist and her S-line body curves were particularly tempting. But none of them dared to look at her without any respect, for they knew that the most appalling person there, was the mysterious and beautiful young lady.

“Is it over?”

Cai Xiao lifted her head up, as she took a glance at Mu Chen and Liu Yan. She smiled at Mu Chen and said, “I didn’t want to kill it, but it kept shooting its mouth off, so …”

Mu Chen twitched his mouth, and gave a hollow laugh. Scarlet Blood was indeed unlucky. It could verbally abuse anyone, at any other time, but treating this young lady casually, was indeed asking for it.

“Not settled with him yet?” Cai Xiao turned to Liu Yan, asking. But, as she took a glimpse, Liu Yan got uptight, and stepped back, his eyes filled with vigilance and alertness.

“Shall I do it instead?” Cai Xiao was smiling radiantly.

Shoo!

As soon as she finished her sentence, Liu Yan did not even wait for Mu Chen’s reply, before he retreated at the speed of lighting. In the blink of an eye, he had already withdrawn out of the Skeleton Hill.

That decisiveness stunned Mu Chen, too, causing him to wonder. So this fellow is afraid of losing huh…

As much as he would like to keep Liu Yan there, he did not stop him from fleeing, since he could not do so in his current condition.

“Mu Chen, just you wait! We are not done yet!” Liu Yan shouted out his final words from afar. Then, without any hesitation, he disappeared into a ray of light.

Mu Chen could not be bothered about him at all. Instead, he focused on the remaining top powers, who were still outside of the Skeleton Hill. As soon as their eyes met his, they could not help but take a step backward with wariness.

Having witnessed the earthshaking battle between Mu Chen and Liu Yan, no one would dare treat him like a regular Grade Three Sovereign anymore.

“Is there anyone, who would want to fight for this Dragon-Phoenix Pool with us?” Mu Chen swept his glance across them, asking with a deep voice.

All of the top powers were looking at each other. But, they all decided to back off reluctantly. Mu Chen must have depleted all of his energy during the fight with Liu Yan, yet despite that, he still had a more daunting and mysterious young lady beside him, who could slaughter a beast like Scarlet Blood easily. That was the most intimidating part of the situation at hand.

Therefore, no matter how reluctant it was to give up on the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, it was wiser to choose to stay alive versus having the unique Dragon-Phoenix Pool all to themselves. Mu Chen was feeling relieved, when he saw that all the top powers were backing down.

All of them were incredibly talented people, and if they were really desperate to make any moves, it would also mean trouble. Now, if they could back down at present, it would be a win-win situation for both of them.

Cai Xiao clapped her hands, when she saw them backing off, then said, “Let’s activate the Dragon-Phoenix Pool now!”

Mu Chen nodded in agreement. He grabbed the Demonic Ape, which he had slaughtered, and with a swing of his blade, he slit its blood vessel. The warm, fresh blood from the ape infiltrated the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, like a stream or river.

Grooooo…

The fresh red blood gathered swiftly within the Dragon-Phoenix Pool. Within a minute, the fresh blood had filled the entire half of the pool, and the rich smell of blood filled the air.

Weng…

As the blood filled the Dragon-Phoenix Pool, the pool gave off a slight trembling sensation. An ancient trace of light could be seen in the bony white pool. The singing of the Dragon and the Phoenix came loudly from the pool, bursting forth into song throughout the earth.

Gululu…

Within the pool, blood blobs started appearing, popping up, as though they had been boiling. A silhouette of a dragon and a phoenix seemed to be swimming in the pool.

As the silhouettes moved, the thick blood was clearing itself up, evaporating all of its impurities, and removing the stench from the blood. Within a short period of time, the Dragon-Phoenix Pool transformed from a blood pool into a divine pool, releasing mystical power into the air.

Cai Xiao stood by the pool, smiled at Mu Chen, and said, “Go ahead and enter.”

“Aren’t you coming?” Mu Chen asked, startled. The pool was ready, and if they were to enter now, they could reap great benefit from it.

“I just need some Real Dragon Blood. But the blood here is not as thick as I thought,” Cai Xiao casually mentioned. She swung her hands and said, “Don’t be so wishy-washy! Hurry!”

“Thanks,” Mu Chen said, as he held up his fist with gratitude. He was ready to enter the activated Dragon-Phoenix Pool.

Bang!

Just as he was about to move, a mountain of skeletons suddenly exploded at the peak of Skeleton Hill. Fragments of the bones burst out into the air. A blurry shadow shuttled between the spaces among these fragments, catching ahold to the entrance of the pool, before Mu Chen could reach….

The look of Mu Chen changed all of the sudden, as a deep killing desire rose in his eyes. Someone was trying to snatch his food from his jaw!
