Chapter 1009: One Punch
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Do you want me to spit out your Sovereign Spiritual Liquid?”
When the light dispersed, a slender youth appeared and looked coldly at Zong Teng. He was none other than Mu Chen.
His sudden appearance caused the top powers to turn pale. They could not believe their eyes and looked as though they had seen a ghost. They had never expected that Mu Chen would walk out of the Body-refining Tower alive!
When Ink Blade and Han Shan saw Mu Chen, they were also shocked. They were surprised that he was able to take the powerful punch from Lord Gladiator and still be alive.
“You…you are still alive!” Although Zong Teng was composed, his eyes widened and he looked at Mu Chen in disbelief. He was so shocked, he stuttered.
“Thanks to you, everything is fine with me,” Mu Chen smiled and replied. However, there was no warmth in his smile. He had never expected Zong Teng to start creating trouble all of a sudden.
Zong Teng’s expression kept changing. The top powers from the Lightning Crow Clan, who were about to strike, were also shocked. Lu Sui, who had wanted to use the opportunity to take revenge, turned pale. No one had expected Mu Chen to appear out of the blue, like a spirit.
Mu Chen looked sharply at Lu Sui and said flatly, “I was lenient with you earlier, but you don’t seem to value your life.”
When Lu Sui heard this, he turned pale. He looked fiercely at Mu Chen, as though he wanted to eat him up.
“Hohoho, you sure talk big!” Zong Teng came to himself and sneered.
He looked gravely at Mu Chen, no longer afraid of him. Although he knew that Mu Chen had gained much from the Body-refining Tower, he also believed that Mu Chen was still far behind him in skill and strength. He might take Mu Chen more seriously now, but not to the extent that he would be afraid of him.
“Do you want to see the Nine Netherbird Clan fight with us and the Lightning Crow Clan? Can a human being like you bear those consequences?”
When Lu Sui heard Zong Teng sneering at Mu Chen, he remembered that the Heavenly Roc Clan and the Lightning Crow Clan were two big clans. If they were to join forces, they would be more powerful than Mu Chen and the Nine Netherbird Clan! Thus, he did not have to be afraid of Mu Chen.
Moreover, he felt that he had lost to Mu Chen earlier, not because he was inferior to him, but rather because he had simply taken him too lightly, thus giving Mu Chen the opportunity to strike and force him out off of the lightning platform.
He was eliminated for only this reason. If he had put in his best from the beginning, Mu Chen would not have been able to defeat him, as he was a Grade Seven Sovereign.
As he thought of this, Lu Sui looked more fiercely at Mu Chen. He then said in a petrifying voice, “Ha, Brother Zong is right. I shall see what you can do to me, if I join in.”
Having said that, he stepped out and a majestic spiritual energy swirled around him. When the top powers around the Body-refining Tower saw the pair facing off, they were curious. If the Lightning Crow Clan and the Heavenly Roc Clan joined forces to take on the Nine Netherbird Clan, the Nine Netherbird Clan would definitely be at a disadvantage.
“Mu Chen is too young and rash. He leaves no leeway for himself and has forced Lu Sui and Zong Teng to come together…”
“That’s right. These two people are the geniuses who entered the Body-refining Tower. If they join forces, they will outnumber the Nine Netherbird Clan. This will not do Nine the Netherbird Clan any good!”
“Mu Chen might disgrace the Nine Netherbird Clan, and Lu Sui and Zong Teng will not simply let such a matter rest…”
The people started whispering among themselves, as the top powers shook their heads. It was apparent that they all felt that Mu Chen was being too harsh and had put the Nine Netherbird Clan in a dire situation.
If he had not been so harsh, he might have been able to persuade the Lightning Crow Clan to deal with the Heavenly Roc Clan first. This would be the best strategy.
Zong Teng looked at Lu Sui and curled his lips. He was afraid that Lu Sui would retreat when Mu Chen appeared. However, it looked like he had been overly worried, and he had Mu Chen to thank for it…
“What can I do to you?”
Mu Chen ignored the looks of the people and stared at Lu Sui with a cold smile. He then lifted up his legs and stepped out.
Bang!
A bright golden light burst out from Mu Chen’s body, as he disappeared from the spot. Just as Mu Chen disappeared, Zong Teng, who was nearest to Mu Chen, realized it, darting out to stop him.
Swoosh!
