“Henceforth, he shall no longer be able to control fighting spirits…”
The moment those words came out of Mu Chen’s mouth, not only did Snapper’s face change drastically, but even Nine Nether and the others standing to the side were also taken aback, their expressions conveying their shock.
“How is that possible?!” Snapper had lost all color in her face. Their Genius of War merely lost one battle, and his body’s spiritual energy was still stable, so how was it possible that all of a sudden he couldn’t even control fighting spirits anymore?
However, Mu Chen ignored Snapper, who was standing across from him, and instead stared at the pale face of the Demon’s Gate Genius of War, whose eyes were tightly shut, and continued, “Not only can your Genius of War no longer control fighting spirits, he can never regain consciousness again. He is now just a living corpse, and when his spiritual energy depletes itself naturally, the decay of his physical body will follow.”
Snapper and the rest were immediately speechless, and it was a while before they recovered their senses. Snapper’s face, which had originally been as lovely as a peach blossom, had now turned ashen.
She could tell that Mu Chen had not tried to deceive or conceal anything from them. The Demon’s Gate’s sole Genius of War had truly been incapacitated by Lin Min from the Netherworld Palace.
“That trick of Lin Min’s is slightly strange and malicious. This is the first time I’m hearing of something capable of destroying a person’s mind power.”
Mu Chen furrowed his eyebrows. He sensed that the mind power within the brain of this Genius of War from Demon’s Gate had been sucked out forcefully and seemed to have been swallowed. Such an ominously strange tactic made even Mu Chen’s heart clench.
It seemed like this Big Hunting War had caused all the evil monsters to come out to play. It would be prudent to be cautious.
“The Demon’s Gate will remember this slight, and we will have our revenge on Netherworld Palace one day!” Snapper gritted her silver teeth, and her beautiful eyes were full of fury. Presumably, she was also angered by the cruel tactics of the Netherworld Palace. After all, the Demon’s Gate paid a huge price to nurture this Genius of War, but now that he had been incapacitated by Lin Min, it could be said that they suffered a huge loss.
“Lady Snapper, do you have any news of the recent movements of Netherworld Palace?” asked Mu Chen. Despite never having faced Lin Min before, Mu Chen had a feeling Lin Min would definitely come for him one day.
When Snapper heard this, she muttered, “The soldiers of the Netherworld Palace where Lin Min is had only started their frequent operations two weeks ago. Previously they had always maintained a low profile.
“In this past half month, Lin Min has led the troops of Netherworld Palace against eight forces consecutively, and all eight forces had one similarity. They all had commanders with a strong gift for mastering fighting spirits, and the results were obvious. Lin Min is an irresistible force, virtually undefeatable, and he immediately defeated all of his opponents. This caused Lin Min’s infamy to be spread far and wide, and all forces alike are in fear of him.”
Suspicion sparked in Mu Chen, and he asked, “What happened to those commanders he defeated?”
Snapper pondered the question and wrinkled her pretty brows before replying, “They’ve never been heard of again. Could it be… they, too?”
Mu Chen nodded slightly, but his heart also trembled slightly. If all the commanders previously defeated by Lin Min had suffered the same fate, then Lin Min definitely possessed a cruel tactic capable of forcefully seizing mind powers.
This was a tricky fellow indeed.
“Lin Min is an irresistible force. His advance was only stopped by his encounter with Zhantai Liuli some time ago. That clash was a draw, and none of them managed to benefit from it,” continued Snapper.
“It seems like this Lin Min has already become a war troop dispatcher.” Mu Chen nodded, confirming that Lin Min clearly had succeeded in becoming a war troop dispatcher, seeing as he was able to contend with Zhantai Liuli, who had received the Sky Array Emperor’s inheritance.
Upon hearing this, Snapper’s expression turned grim. This clearly was not good news for them.
“Lady Snapper, what are your future plans?” Mu Chen asked with a small smile.
“Since it seems that this is already the inner domain of the Meteorfall Battlefield, we will rejoin the rest of the warriors of Demon’s Gate as soon as possible. I’m guessing Daluo Territory is planning on doing the same?” Snapper disclosed her plans without holding back, since all the forces entering this inner territory would probably have similar plans. After all, only if all the warriors were gathered together would they be able to avoid being besieged by other forces.
Once the warriors from all sides had gathered in their respective armies, it would be a highly confrontational situation. At that time, if any force decided to attack, there would probably be a truly earth-shaking battle.
Mu Chen nodded slightly and smiled. “I wonder what Demon’s Gate’s opinion of Netherworld Palace is?”
“Demon’s Gate is still a top force of North Territory, and naturally we will not suffer such a loss without retaliation. Once all the troops of Demon’s Gate have gathered together, we will avenge our name.” There was a trace of coldness in Snapper’s voice. Clearly, she was also genuinely furious with Lin Min.
Mu Chen smiled and said, “But I’m afraid that by then all of the forces of Netherworld Palace will have gathered as well, and they are not weaker than Demon’s Gate. Combined with Lin Min’s power, even if Demon’s Gate turns out in full strength, you might not be at an advantage.”
