Chapter 1246 - Ghost Master (2/2)
As Mu Chen opened his eyes, a spiritual light emerged in them, then gradually dispersed. He then glanced at a distant island, from which he could vaguely feel some subtle spiritual fluctuations emanating.
Today, the atmosphere between heaven and earth seemed to be a bit grimmer than usual. Those islands almost seemed as if they had covetous gazes.
Mu Chen was akin to a lone wolf among the tigers. If he showed any signs of weakness, he believed that those who were watching him covetously would come in an instant to snatch all of his battle seals!
However, as they were cautious, no one dared to be the first to strike. Thus, they were waiting for the opportunity to arise.
Sunlight fell from the sky and shone on the sea, which rippled and sparkled. As Mu Chen looked at the shimmering sea, his gaze suddenly fixated on something.
He looked up a little and saw the distant sea suddenly turning a scarlet color. The scarlet waves roared as the wind howled and thunder rolled.
In just a few minutes, the scarlet waves appeared tens of thousands of feet high, then slowly stopped at the edge of the Nine Dragons' Deicide Array. The scarlet waves surged as a figure that was donned in blood robes slowly appeared. That familiar malicious face belonged to Xue Lingzi from the Blood God Clan!
He glared chillingly at Mu Chen, his gaze akin to a hunter locking onto his prey. He looked brutal and ferocious.
”So it's you, old dog…” Mu Chen froze when he saw the figure.
He then smiled bitterly and said, ”I could sense your presence these past two days. But, you kept hiding like a rat and didn't dare to show yourself. Why have you appeared now?”
Upon hearing Mu Chen's tone, Xue Lingzi's face turned cold. He then replied, ”Brat, you are at death's door! How dare you be so arrogant?”
Mu Chen looked at him and said nonchalantly, ”I'm not sure if I will die, but I'm sure that you are in deep trouble today.”
Although his voice sounded nonchalant, there was a trace of murderous intent in it that could not be concealed. Mu Chen had long wanted to get rid of Xue Lingzi.
It was said that Luo Li's father had died because of him. Also, Luo Tianshen had been severely damaged by his blood poison for many years.
Luo Li's return to the Luo God Clan had also been because of Xue Lingzi, as she suffered a lot of pressure and was even under the threat of death! So, in a sense, Xue Lingzi was the Luo God Clan's great enemy!
Although Luo Li never showed hatred for Xue Lingzi in front of him, Mu Chen could feel it. She just didn't want Mu Chen to risk his life to kill Xue Lingzi, so she was careful to always restrain her emotions. Also, she was hoping that, after she grew up, she could end Xue Lingzi herself!
Hence, Mu Chen naturally had strong murderous intent towards Xue Lingzi due to the above reasons. As such, he was determined to find an opportunity to annihilate Xue Lingzi. Now that the old fellow had come on his own accord, this fulfilled Mu Chen's wish!
”Hah, what a conceited brat!” Xue Lingzi laughed at him mockingly, then said chillingly, ”Did you think that you could continue to be so proud just because you have an Intermediate Ancestral Master's Spiritual Array? Did you think that there were no Spiritual Array Ancestral Masters in our Western Kingdom Continent?”
With a wave of his sleeves, a black light flashed beside him. Then, in the next moment, a thin old man in gray robes appeared.
As soon as the old man in gray robes appeared, his small eyes swept towards the Nine Dragons' Deicide Array, which still surrounded Mu Chen. He then nodded his head and said with a smile, ”It is an Intermediate Ancestral Master's Spiritual Array indeed, so it's no wonder that no one dares to deal with him these days.”
”Haha, Ghost Master has been famous for many years, so he is already well-acquainted with Intermediate Ancestral Master's Spiritual Arrays. As such, a young brat like you cannot compare!” Xue Lingzi smiled, seeming to be very pleased with himself.
The old man named Ghost Master smiled and said, ”Xue Lingzi, I can help you suppress this spiritual array, but after it is done, half of the boy's battle seals belong to me.”
A hint of unwillingness flashed in Xue Lingzi's eyes upon hearing these conditions, but he nodded decisively and said, ”As long as you can get rid of this brat, I'll agree to this!”
”Haha, you are very decisive!” Mu Chen heard this and narrowed his eyes and glanced at the gray-robed old man. He then murmured, ”So, you engaged a Spiritual Array Ancestral Master to deal with my spiritual array…”
…
At the same time, in the White Jade Square of the Western Kingdom War City, countless gazes were drawn to a light screen. When they saw that Xue Lingzi and the old man in gray robes had appeared, a sea of whispers erupted in the crowd...
”Xue Lingzi actually engaged the Ghost Master's help!”
”The Ghost Master has been an Intermediate Spiritual Array Ancestral Master for so many years. If he strikes, Mu Chen's spiritual array will be rendered ineffective immediately.”
”He's in deep trouble now. Without his spiritual array, Mu Chen is undoubtedly a toothless tiger, and there is no doubt that he will be defeated.”
Amid the commotion, Luo Tianshen glanced at the light screen gravely. He then glared at Xue Lingzi and gnashed his teeth, revealing his immense hatred.
”Xue Lingzi you old dog, you deserve to die!”
