Hoof! Hoof!

The black airflow was like an angry python that twined around Garuda. As it let out a deep roaring sound, it turned into a soundwave that was an actual substance and spread out. The space shook continuously due to the soundwave.

Boom!

Garuda’s body was black all over. He stood on the ground like a Demonic God and looked imposing. The power of his physical body alone was so great at the moment that he could even contend with a Complete Grade Nine Sovereign.

Mu Chen looked at Garuda and turned grave. Garuda’s physical body was the most powerful among the peers that he had met all these years. If Mu Chen’s Dragon-Phoenix Body had not gone through the Baptism of the Heavenly River and been refined and forged vigorously, his physical body would not have had such a great improvement. If he had had to pit himself against Garuda based on their physiques, he might not have been able to defeat him.

Dong!

Just as Mu Chen was feeling all tensed up, Garuda looked at him, and his eyes were filled with immense killing intent. Without any hesitation, he stomped his feet on the ground. The ground quaked, and all of a sudden, he disappeared into thin air.

Buzz!

Bright golden light burst out from Mu Chen’s body, and he was not flustered when Garuda suddenly disappeared. He clenched his fists and threw out a punch at the space on the right.

As he threw out the punch, the real dragon and real phoenix on his arm lingered around it. The loud cries of a dragon and phoenix resounded in the area, carrying with it power that was strong enough to crush the mountains.

The instant Mu Chen threw out the punch, a blurry black figure suddenly appeared in the empty space and threw out a punch as well. Vast rays of black light burst out from the fist.

Boom! Boom!

The two fists carried with them horrifying power as they shot directly across the sky like meteorites. They then hit hard against each other. Visible shockwaves burst out instantly, and the space continued to buzz and shake continuously. The space near the two fists started to twist around, and indistinctly, cracks started to spread out. The power of the shockwaves bounced back and whizzed toward Mu Chen and Garuda like a tsunami. Both of them were hit by the shockwaves, and they were thrown back a few thousand meters.

Swoosh!

The moment the two of them managed to stabilize themselves, they shot out again at lightning speed.

Bang! Bang!

The two of them were like ghostly figures that kept appearing and disappearing in the Golden Square. They kept attacking each other using their fists and feet. So far, neither of them had used much of their spiritual energy. They were fighting against each other solely with their physiques.

Although they had not used much of their spiritual energy, the power of the shockwaves that burst out from the fight was so strong that it would cause even a Complete Grade Nine Sovereign to be wary of it. The power of their physical bodies was awe-inspiring.

In less than 100 breaths, Mu Chen and Garuda had exchanged a few hundred rounds of blows. The blows that they threw out were ruthless, and every attack was unusually tricky and targeted on the fatal points of their opponent’s body.

Boom!

There was another loud explosion that made everyone jump. The two of them shot backward and created long scratches in the sturdy ground with their feet. Their clothes were torn apart, and their arms were injured and stained with blood. This was caused by the horrifying power that shot back at them as they were exchanging blows. Even so, as both of them had strong physiques, they did not come to any harm.

However, they were breathing more heavily now. The fight that they had had earlier was so intense and fierce that they had to stay very focused. As each was extremely powerful, neither of them dared to take the other lightly.

Garuda fixed his gaze on Mu Chen and looked at him grimly. He then brushed his palm across his arm, and the injuries on his arm recovered instantly. He said in a cold voice, “No wonder Xia Yu died at your hands. You are indeed powerful.”

After the exchange of blows, Garuda no longer took Mu Chen lightly. He was indeed a formidable enemy. Garuda only had this feeling once before when he had fought with Zhu Yan.

Mu Chen remained calm, and golden light burst out from his body. The spirits of the real dragon and real phoenix emerged outside his body as he looked warily at Garuda. When Garuda saw it, he laughed and said coldly, “No matter how good you are, only one of us can walk out alive today. However, it will not be you!”

Boom!

The moment he finished his sentence, he punched out hard, and vast spiritual energy gathered crazily on his fists. It turned into a large fist ray that looked like a ferocious black beast as it swirled toward Mu Chen at lightning speed and engulfed him.
