When Mu Chen emerged from the thick venomous fog, he instantly felt a glance that was as sharp as a knife upon him. He frowned and looked up to meet the gaze of Xia Yu.

There was a hint of a smile at the corners of his lips. However, it was a smile that contained cynicism and mockery. Mu Chen regained his calm after seeing Xia Yu’s negative reaction, a razor sharp aura filling his eyes.

Regarding the passageway at the entrance of the Ancient Celestial Palace, Xia Yu harbored dark intentions. He was plotting to destroy the passageway, maliciously hoping that Mu Chen and his underlings would perish within the chaos.

“Hehe, Brother Mu, how about a chat?” asked Xia Yu, while smiling warmly at Mu Chen from afar.

Surrounding Xia Yu were ten top powers, all of whom were glaring at Mu Chen with mean looks, as if they were watching prey fall into a trap!

Now of course, armed with their battle array, they had renewed confidence. After all, these elite ten top powers from the Tianluo Continent were the top fifteen on the List of Powerhouses, each having skills that had stepped into the Peak of Grade Nine! Moreover, the fourth-placed Xia Yu, who had stepped into the Complete Nine Grade, was the most powerful person among the younger generation of the Tianluo Continent.

Meanwhile, Mu Chen was merely a boy who had just stepped into Nine Grade. As such, they could take him down effortlessly!

Behind Xia Yu, the one-armed Xia Hong was also staring at Mu Chen venomously. His eyes were full of pleasure, as he was clearly thinking of Mu Chen’s inevitable demise at their hands.

All of those who saw the scene silently shook their heads, throwing sympathetic looks at Mu Chen. They saw him as a truly pitiful fellow.

Knowing Xia Yu’s character, if Mu Chen fell into his hands, it didn’t matter whether he had picked up a treasure on the Dragon Island or not, he’d be skinned alive! Seeing the looks of pity, Mu Chen threw Xia Yu a smile, then shook his head and said, “I don’t know you well, so I don’t think so.”

Hearing Mu Chen’s reply, Xia Yu was stunned for a while. He then shook his head and laughed it off.

“You idiot! Did you think that the Xia’s brothers were actually asking for your opinion?” A man with forceful spiritual energy laughed grimly. “Well, if you’re not coming over here, then let me personally invite you!”

Boom!

The moment the nameless man finished his sentence, a tremendous spiritual energy instantly burst from within him. He had clearly stepped into the Complete Nine Grade, as he had just revealed that he was no weak opponent!

As the man’s spiritual energy was flowing forth, he took one step forward, appearing instantly before Mu Chen, like a ghost. Then, a spiritual light surfaced on his large hand, after which, he instantly grew exponentially in size.

At the same time, the hand slapped towards Mu Chen, attempting to catch him. This immediately evoked hurrahs and exclamations from the numerous top powers that were watching…

“It’s the Giant Spiritual Hand!”

“The body of Lu Qiu is extremely powerful! He once killed three Nine Grade Sovereign with a single punch.”

“That fellow really doesn’t know his place! How dare he talk back to Xia Yu?”

Among the hurrahs, Mu Chen looked up to see the large hand coming towards him. Instantly, a cold gleam skimmed across his pitch-black eyes.

At that moment, golden light flowed out of his body, while the cries of a dragon and a phoenix were heard. Immediately thereafter, a real dragon and real phoenix surfaced on his right arm. As the dragon stretched its claws and the phoenix flapped its wings, they melded perfectly with Mu Chen’s five fingers.

As all of this was happening, a terrifying force, like mountain torrents, was exploding out of Mu Chen’s arm. Through it all, Mu Chen remained expressionless. He then threw a punch. As he did so, a golden light raced into the sky to meet the incoming giant palm.

“Suicidal thing!” Lu Qiu’s expression became even more ferocious when he saw that Mu Chen dared to go against him.

However, just as his wicked grin spread, his pupils suddenly shrunk. This was because he had unexpectedly felt a horrifying force. He rolled out of Mu Chen’s fist like a madman. It seemed that he had somehow heard the cries of the dragon and the phoenix!

Bang!

At that moment, a visible spiritual energy charged forward and exploded in the sky, enveloping the whole area. Countless top powers watched the source of the charged force, their expressions changing suddenly, as if they’d seen something unimaginable.

In their utter distress, they saw Lu Qiu’s body get hit by a heavy impact, then fly away instantly. Surprisingly, he had actually been ousted by a single punch from the seemingly amateur Nine Grade, Mu Chen!

Countless top powers were shocked! They couldn’t believe the scene before their eyes. In their minds, Mu Chen was supposed to be the one that got slammed to death by Lu Qiu!
