Chapter 801 (2/2)
After Mu Chen felt that his body had been completely restored, he raised his head to glance at his surroundings. The depths of his dark eyes looked as if they contained a terrifyingly ferocious beast! His intense gaze was fierce and palpable. In fact, following this strong victory over Liu Yan, Mu Chen’s majestic aura was finally at its peak!
At this moment, even powerful Sovereigns, such as Su Biyue, Snapper, and Ding Xuan, held dread in their hearts. They averted their gazes, not making direct eye contact with Mu Chen, while simultaneously not daring to show any signs of hostility. This young man before them was not to be trifled with!
Silence permeated throughout the heavens and earth, as innumerable strong men looked at each other, each stunned by Mu Chen’s majestic aura. At such times, it was obvious that no one would dare underestimate or disrespect Mu Chen.
Mu Chen’s gaze swept over the sky, finally locking on the other side of the sky. There, three figures stood in the air, suppressing each other. Around their bodies, stretching to a radius that was easily thousands of feet wide, formed an aura so strong that people dared not even approach.
However, at this point, Mu Chen’s fierce gaze somehow was able to produce a trace of turbulence within that trio’s aura. At the same time, everyone directed their gazes at the sky. Although Mu Chen and Liu Yan’s fight had been brutal, it was clear to all that the real battlefield was in this arena in the sky!
Although Mu Chen and Liu Yan were strong, compared to Cai Xiao, Fang Yi, and the Prince of Netherworld, they were still lacking experience. Even though Mu Chen had defeated Liu Yan, if he knew that if he really wanted to make any headway with these three aces, he would have to face the Prince of Netherworld, who was even more powerful than Liu Yan!
The Prince of Netherworld was the brilliant ace that had dominated the rank of 2nd on the Dragon-Phoenix Record for many years. Even a prideful man like Liu Yan would dread having to face the Prince of Netherworld! Thus, even though Mu Chen had defeated Liu Yan, no one would expect him to be able to withstand a brutal figure like the Prince of Netherworld.
Amid the countless gazes, Fang Yi and the Prince of Netherworld knit their brows together in a frown. They had definitely not expected this current situation to happen!
“It looks like this has disappointed both of you,” Cai Xiao stated nonchalantly, a dangerous glint flashing in her beautiful eyes.
Fang Yi smiled faintly. His body tensed, for he could feel the chilling murderous intent emanating from Cai Xiao’s body. Clearly, the latter was about to make a move.
“If you intend for him to stop the Prince of Netherworld, I’m afraid he will die,” Fang Yi stated calmly.
A cold smirk bloomed on Cai Xiao’s red lips, as she retorted, “Before that can happen, I will end you first.”
Fang Yi narrowed his eyes, a cold glint flashing in his nonchalant gaze. He tilted his head, glancing towards the Prince of Netherworld.
The latter, sensing Fang Yi’s gaze, thought quietly for a moment, then said, “We’ll split the inheritance.” He was naturally referring to the Dragon-Phoenix Legacy.
“Alright.” Fang Yi nodded in agreement to the Prince of Netherworld’s condition, as he knew that he needed the Prince of Netherworld’s strength in order to deal with both Mu Chen and Cai Xiao.
“Don’t spare him, but end him fast. As for her, she’s not going to be easy to deal with.” Fang Yi stated slowly, nodding over towards Cai Xiao.
The Prince of Netherworld also nodded. As he had fought with Cai Xiao before, he was deeply aware of how terrifying this mysterious girl was. On his own, even he had had little chance of beating her. Hence, he had to get rid of Mu Chen as quickly as he could. This would free him up to then join forces with Fang Yi to kill Cai Xiao.
The Prince of Netherworld turned to glance at Mu Chen, nonchalance written all over his face.
“Haha, what a bold claim.”
Cai Xiao smiled sweetly, but in her glance, a chilling cold clearly spread. She stared at Fang Yi, then turned towards Mu Chen, “Can you stop him for a while?”
Mu Chen’s eyes locked onto the Prince of Netherworld. Mu Chen felt a strong and dangerous aura emanating from him, but he still nodded gently.
“I won’t let him interfere with your battle,” Mu Chen said softly.
Cai Xiao glanced at Mu Chen meaningfully, before nodding gently. She was aware of Mu Chen’s ability. Thus, she was uncertain if Mu Chen could really stop the Prince of Netherworld. Yet, she also knew that she and Mu Chen had no other way of breaking the stalemate. Thus, she could only choose to place her faith in Mu Chen.
“Stop me?”
The Prince of Netherworld stood in mid-air, glancing at Mu Chen emotionlessly. Then, a faint smile appeared on his pale face, as if he found Mu Chen’s confidence to be highly amusing.
“Fool! Liu Yan’s end should serve as a warning to you…”
He murmured this veiled threat, before twisting his palms. There, a black spiritual energy converged and condensed, as if it had been transformed into a black hole. His surrounding space fluctuated violently, an overwhelming oppressive spiritual energy coalescing there. As it swept out amid the heavens and the earth, it appeared as if it had the power to shake mountains and overturn seas.
Sensing the terrifying spiritual energy that was surrounding the Prince of Netherworld, Su Biyue, Snapper, and the others gasped in shock. Their faces twisted in fear, as they collectively gasped, “Fifth Grade Sovereign?!”
Upon hearing them, Mu Chen’s heart skipped a beat. This Prince of Netherworld had advanced to the rank of Fifth Grade Sovereign?!
If this was true, it would be extremely difficult to determine who would attain this victory!
