“It is your turn…”

When Mu Chen looked at Zong Teng, Zong Teng turned pale and started to move back a little. He had seen how Lu Sui had been badly injured when Mu Chen had punched him.

However, Zong Teng was not any ordinary person. After he had calmed himself down, he looked at Mu Chen and became wary of him. Though he had taken Mu Chen seriously before, now he saw how dangerous Mu Chen really was.

“I have underestimated you,” Zong Teng said in a low voice that was filled with regret. If he had known that Mu Chen would become so powerful in the Body-refining Tower, he would have killed him in the first place.

Mu Chen now posed a greater threat than Ink Blade and Nine Nether.

Zong Teng looked at Mu Chen and said decisively, “I admit defeat. I will give you 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to settle the matter. What do you think?”

When the top powers heard it, they were shocked. They had not expected Zong Teng, who had been so haughty earlier, to suggest making peace with Mu Chen. However, they found it understandable after seeing Mu Chen’s amazing combat force. Zong Teng would not want to fight with him.

Since Lu Sui had been badly injured by Mu Chen, Zong Teng would not expect the Lightning Crow Clan to join forces with him. The Heavenly Roc Clan would be at a disadvantage if they were to fight with the Nine Netherbird Clan.

In this case, it would be best for him to admit defeat and conserve his energy. However, Mu Chen did not accept it and simply looked nonchalantly at him. It was apparent that Mu Chen did not want to let him off so easily. He knew that Zong Teng would soon forget about this if he was not taught a lesson.

When Zong Teng saw Mu Chen’s expression, he knew that Mu Chen was enraged and would not let him off for 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. He frowned at this thought and then looked coldly at Mu Chen, prepared to take him on. He said flatly, “In this case, I shall see if you can defeat me with a punch just like how you have defeated Lu Sui. If you can do that, you can kill me if you want to!”

Zong Teng was indeed decisive. When he saw that it was useless for him to admit defeat, he prepared himself to take Mu Chen on. Since Mu Chen wanted to show his power, Zong Teng would show him his power as well, so that he would not take him lightly.

“Not bad, you do have guts.” When Mu Chen saw Zong Teng’s response, he nodded. Zong Teng was better than Lu Sui. No wonder he was the most outstanding genius among the younger generation in the Heavenly Roc Clan and was well-known outside the clan as well.

Boom!

Since he had made up his mind, Zong Teng immediately released his spiritual energy. The cries of a roc indistinctly resounded from his body.

Many top powers turned grave at the oppression that exuded from Zong Teng’s body. He was a Grade Seven Sovereign, and he was much stronger than Lu Sui. No wonder he was so well-known.

Mu Chen was calm. Although he would have to use all his trump cards, including the spiritual arrays, to deal with Zong Teng before he broke through to the second stage of the Dragon-Phoenix Body, he did not have to go through all the hassle right now.

Swoosh!

Spiritual energy swirled out, and Zong Teng turned into a golden light and shot out. He threw out a punch with golden light, and a Golden Roc seemed to be spreading its wings within it. The punch was so sharp that it cracked the ground.

Roc’s Shadow Divine Punch!

The top powers around them moved back hurriedly as Zong Teng threw out the powerful punch. Even a Grade Seven Sovereign like Lu Sui would have tried to avoid the blow.

The air exploded under the golden punch, and golden light shot straight toward Mu Chen. As the golden light drew nearer to Mu Chen, he threw out a punch as well. Golden light surged without any spiritual energy fluctuation, as Mu Chen had used only his physical strength.

Boom!

As the two golden punches hit each other, horrifying shockwaves burst out. The ground below their feet cracked, and the ruins around them turned into ashes. As the shockwaves raged out, Mu Chen’s body shook, but he was still able to bear it.

On the other hand, Zong Teng was thrown back by a step. He left his footprint on the ground, which was proof that he indeed had great strength. When Mu Chen threw out the same blow at Zong Teng, he had only caused Zong Teng to move back by one step. Although Lu Sui and Zong Teng were both Grade Seven Sovereigns, there was a big gap between them.

Although he had moved back only one step, this had caused Zong Teng’s face to darken. Through this, he finally knew how powerful Mu Chen’s physical strength was. When Zong Teng had thrown out the punch earlier, he had used his spiritual energy and physical strength, but Mu Chen had used only his physical strength.

How did his physical strength become so powerful within such a short period of time?

“This is great!” While Zong Teng was feeling puzzled, Mu Chen smiled and immediately stepped out. Golden light shot out, and a horrifying wind blast of fist came down on Zong Teng, giving him no time to react.
