Chapter 798: An Incense Stick’s Time
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Far above the horizon, eight silhouettes stood in the air. Although they were all standing still and silent, the magnificent spiritual energy fluctuations that emanated from their bodies raged in the heavens and earth like a tornado. Even the thick clouds on the horizon were shattered.
Countless people held their breath at this moment, and the oppressive atmosphere before the great battle made them a little breathless.
The eight figures in the air represented the existence of the aces among the younger generation in the North Territory. Their strength, even if placed among the major top forces, was capable of being the best out of the elite with unlimited potential.
Now that these outstanding aces had to clash with each other, it was no doubt a collision between comets that would be earth-shattering.
“Who knows who can reach the top this time…”
“Should be Fang Yi or the Prince of Netherworld… Those two have been dominating the Dragon-Phoenix Record as first and second respectively, and no one has ever shaken their positions.”
“It’s hard to say. That mysterious girl is not simple, either. Even Fang Yi seems to dread her…”
“That doesn’t mean the others don’t stand a chance. Su Biyue and Snapper are no weaklings, either. If one underestimates them, it’s not impossible for them to suffer an unexpected defeat.”
“There is a stalemate in this situation. After all, no one is strong enough to completely ignore the others.”
“…”
The tense and frozen atmosphere could not conceal the murmurs, as the powerful characters who were here were no ordinary people and had a certain level of skill. Thus, they did not know how to judge others and give a sound analysis.
As the murmurs in the crowd subtly spread, Mu Chen could sense the tense atmosphere in the sky. A glint flashed in his dark eyes.
The top seven before him were familiar, and with the exception of Cai Xiao, the other six were reputable figures in the Dragon-Phoenix Record. The one whom he was not so familiar with would be Ding Xuan from the Djinn Clan. He more or less had some interaction with the others.
Among these people, he and Ding Xuan had no grudge with each other, and he wasn’t exactly friends nor foe with the two ladies, Su Biyue and Snapper. The remaining three were much harder to handle.
Needless to say, Liu Yan was his mortal enemy, and their relationship was irreconcilable. Both Fang Yi and the Prince of Netherworld had clashed with him and Cai Xiao because of their previous incident, hence there were hostile intentions, to say the least. However, it was unclear if this hostility ran deep.
Faced with this situation, even he felt that it was difficult to act.
Just as Mu Chen pondered how to break the stalemate, he suddenly felt a sharp look full of murderous intent directed at him.
Mu Chen tilted his head, and unsurprisingly, saw Liu Yan’s expressionless face. As Liu Yan noticed his glance, his expression turned colder.
In the frozen atmosphere, Liu Yan suddenly clenched his fist and with a flash of light a spear materialized. He pointed it at Mu Chen and said indifferently, “The last time you were lucky to escape with your life. This time you will not have the opportunity to do so again.”
Mu Chen smiled and replied, “The one who escaped like a dog with its tail between its legs wasn’t me.”
Upon hearing this, Liu Yan did not show signs of anger but said calmly, “If it wasn’t for her, do you think I would let you off?”
The “her” he was referring to was Cai Xiao. The last time he had clashed brutally with Mu Chen, it wasn’t because he couldn’t continue fighting, but he was shocked at the moves Cai Xiao used to kill Scarlet Blood, thus he had to retreat in embarrassment. This caused him to feel indignant, as he believed that Mu Chen then had also reached his limits, and if they continued their fight, he would be the last man standing.
Judging from the current circumstances, if he were to take action against Mu Chen, even Cai Xiao would not be able to intervene, as the others would not want to see them form an alliance again.
Mu Chen smiled and said, “So it looks like you want to pick a fight with me here?”
Liu Yan smiled nonchalantly as he turned to look at the others. “Looks like I will take action first. I believe the rest of you don’t have any opinions?”
Snapper giggled. The little demon from Demon’s Gate stated with a soft and teasing tone, “Hehe, everyone’s hands and legs are on their own bodies. If you wanted to do something, no one would be able to stop you. However, our friend from Daluo Territory is no soft persimmon and pushover. Liu Yan, don’t break your feet kicking an iron plate.” Her words seemingly were not taking a side, but they were very provocative and would provoke any man to do his best.
