Roar!
Inside the dilapidated hall, the two thousand strong Spirit-slaughtering Troop roared, only to see a bloody torrent of fighting intent sweeping out from their crown. The torrent then formed a massively thick cluster of blood clouds above them.
That horrendous fighting intent was far beyond any army that Mu Chen had ever commanded. Even a Lower Earthly Sovereign would not dare underestimate it.
The fighting intent surged, as the surrounding space collapsed continuously. Dark spatial cracks spread out, revealing how domineering and tough the fighting intent was.
As he stood before the stone gate, Elder Zuo of the Saint Demon Palace looked at the scene before him in shock. His high and mighty demeanor had vanished entirely.
He gazed in horror at the bloody clouds of fighting intent that enveloped the whole hall. He then turned his attention to Mu Chen, whose face was calm as he stood behind the Spirit-slaughtering Troop. Until now, he would never have believed that Mu Chen could command such an elite army.
“How is this possible?” There was a tremor in Elder Zuo’s hoarse voice.
The present situation had changed too fast! Originally, he had thought that he could end Mu Chen easily, but in a blink of an eye, Mu Chen now held a terrifying power that frightened him!
“You seem to be disappointed that I am able to command this army.” Mu Chen looked at Elder Zuo’s face and smiled, his heart fluttering with excitement.
In the past, if Mu Chen had encountered a Lower Earthly Sovereign, the only option would have been to escape as fast as he could. Now, he was able to see fear in the eyes of this Lower Earthly Sovereign!
Mu Chen glanced at the ancient Commander’s Seal, which he held tightly in his hand. Although he was only able to contend with a Lower Earthly Sovereign when he relied on the Spirit-slaughtering Troop, he was still confident that he would soon have the kind of strong force that emboldened him to act on his own accord.
“Are you still going to try to stop me here?” Mu Chen smiled at Elder Zuo and asked.
“Don’t be arrogant, kid, there’s nothing that I haven’t seen before. If you want me to retreat on the mere basis of one army, that would be too naive of you.” Elder Zuo’s gaze was chilling.
He was indeed shocked by the cards that Mu Chen had shown, but he still a true Lower Earthly Sovereign. As such, he refused to retreat.
After hearing his words, Mu Chen smiled and said, “Then, I would have to ask you to test how much power this Spirit-slaughtering Troop really has.”
Boom!
When Mu Chen finished speaking, he stepped out among the Spirit-slaughtering Troop, then sat down and closed his eyes. As he did this, his mind power gushed out and converged with the majestic blood clouds.
Roar! Roar!
As Mu Chen’s mind power mingled with the Spirit-slaughtering Troop’s fighting intent, roars that were filled with fighting intent echoed in his mind. He then felt a force of terror surrounding his mind power, which was at his disposal.
Rumble!
The thick blood clouds loomed, as tens and thousands of bloody waves surged forward. The space shattered and enveloped Elder Zuo immediately.
As the bloody waves rolled in, Elder Zuo’s face grew extremely solemn. He could sense the horrifying power they contained.
“This brat!” Elder Zuo gnashed his teeth, enraged.
He then stretched out his palm. His delicate skin was as smooth as a baby’s, and his fingers had a glossy shine to them, as if they’d been made of jade.
He stretched out his palm and it expanded in the wind. In a flash, it pressed down, crushing the space, then landed on the tumultuous blood waves.
Clash!
The two forces clashed together harshly, as massive stone pillars crumbled in the hall. Visible ripples spread, layer by layer, causing the space to distort and shatter.
The terrible spiritual power swept through the hall, and Elder Zuo’s body suffered a shock. He took half a step back, his face gloomy.
