In the sky, the majestic spiritual energy swept through like a storm. Then, suddenly, it solidified under the girl’s cold voice…
Everyone was looking at the sky, their pupils contracted. At that moment, Mu Chen stepped into the void. The dark shadows of the three hazy shadows pervaded throughout the space.
Just as the fierce blows were about to land on Mu Chen, with killing intent strong enough to inflict serious injuries, there occurred an intervention…
From behind the three dark silhouettes, the young girl’s petite hand landed on the back of one of the silhouettes. The terrifying spiritual energy coalescing in her palm caused the silhouette to tense and freeze. The blow, which was about to land on Mu Chen, stopped dead in its tracks!
The air in the sky froze, and all was suddenly still. No one dared disrupt the silence.
The Prince of Netherworld’s gaze flickered wildly, oscillating between one of malice and one of fear. The change in his gaze caused his emotionless demeanor to distort.
The Prince of Netherworld then glanced towards Mu Chen, his obvious spite apparent on his face. If he had a few more moments, he could have ended Mu Chen right then and there.
However, he hadn’t expected that… Cai Xiao would be even faster! For her to appear behind him, it was clear that Fang Yi had already lost this conflict. What’s more, Fang Yi’s defeat in this moment would mean that his plan to deal with Mu Chen had also failed.
Mu Chen glanced at the Prince of Netherworld, whose gaze was flickering wildly, and smiled. Despite the ferocious blows that were about to land on him, there was no trace of fear in his eyes. He simply retracted the phoenix wings on his back, causing them to dissipate into spots of light.
“Both of you have lost.” Mu Chen glanced at the Prince of Netherworld and repeated.
“Are you asking for death?” the Prince of Netherworld said in a low menacing voice. It seemed that, now that Mu Chen’s life was in his grasp, the latter was not fearful at all.
“You wouldn’t dare exchange your life with mine.” Mu Chen’s dark eyes locked onto the Prince of Netherworld, a mocking smirk appearing on his face.
The Prince of Netherworld’s pupils shrank. Although Mu Chen had landed in his grasp, during the two’s confrontation, the latter’s aura had completely overwhelmed him.
Under Mu Chen’s fearless gaze, a subtle terror surfaced in the Prince of Netherworld’s heart. Although he hated to admit, he was aware that, just like Mu Chen had said, he did not have the courage to die together with Mu Chen.
The Prince of Netherworld’s gaze flashed, as he took a deep breath and turned his head to look at Cai Xiao. “We’ll stop at the same time. I don’t think we should really engage in a deadly duel, for that surely won’t do us any good.”
Cai Xiao glanced at Mu Chen, as the latter nodded at her. Their goal was to obtain the Dragon-Phoenix Legacy. Thus, there was no need to force the Prince of Netherworld into a corner. After all, even a rabbit at its most desperate would strike back and bite his aggressor, let alone the Prince of Netherworld, who was a ferocious wolf!
The Prince of Netherworld and Cai Xiao were no ordinary characters, thus they were not people who would go back on their word. Both retracted their moves simultaneously, as the storm of spiritual energy dissipated.
Whoosh!
The Prince of Netherworld’s figure flashed. He then appeared a few thousand miles away, staring at Cai Xiao and Mu Chen guardedly.
Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief. He had expended too much spiritual energy in his body, and if the battle had continued, he would have been in great peril. Fortunately, Cai Xiao had defeated Fang Yi first.
“Impressive.”
Mu Chen gave Cai Xiao a thumbs up. Although he had not fought Fang Yi, he was, after all, ranked first in the Dragon-Phoenix Record. Hence, his reputation was even stronger than the Prince of Netherworld’s.
Furthermore, he had experienced the methods of the Prince of Netherworld prior to this confrontation. Thus, he was in awe that Cai Xiao could defeat the more powerful Fang Yi.
Cai Xiao’s cold expression warmed, and her smile charmed the masses, causing everyone’s attentions to focus on her. However, their glances were ones of respect, as Cai Xiao’s capability had indeed shocked them all.
“You did pretty well, too, so it seems that I didn’t make a wrong judgment.” Cai Xiao smiled, admiration filling her gaze. In this battle, if Mu Chen had not done his best to delay the Prince of Netherworld, she would not have been able to defeat Fang Yi.
“I nearly lost though!” Mu Chen said in exasperation.
Mu Chen was clear that, with his current ability, if he had clashed directly with the Prince of Netherworld, he could only have put up some resistance. Once the battle turned serious, his odds of winning would have been very low.
