Weng Weng!
When Su Mu reached for that rusty iron sword, a daunting sword aura exploded immediately, wreaking havoc between heaven and earth. A part of the space was slashed by the intimidating sword aura, revealing traces of slits.
His eyes flickered with sharp a radiance as he glared at Mu Chen. The previous gentle demeanor disappeared entirely.
As the Chinese saying goes, ”Be courteous before using force.” The courtesy was over, and now it was time to test out Mu Chen's strength.
If they realized that the latter was not qualified to form an alliance with them, they would strike immediately and take back the Battle Seals from Mu Chen.
The equality of both parties was based upon adequate capabilities. As such, if one wished for fair treatment, they must first display their strength to prove that they are worthy of it.
Mu Chen was quite clear on this, so he did not show any displeasure. Instead, he spoke with a gentle and soothing tone, ”Please go ahead, Brother Su.”
Noticing a fearless expression on Mu Chen's face, Su Mu also nodded his head slightly. He had heard of Mu Chen's recent fame, so he knew that he must have some capabilities.
However, their enemies were the three Holy Children, whose domineering power was known throughout the entire Western Kingdom Continent. As such, they needed to verify if Mu Chen was up for it. Otherwise, he would be the weakest link, causing their plans to fail when the crucial time came.
In that case, they figured that they would rather get back Liu Xingchen's Battle Seals in exchange for the treasures, then retire from the battlefield earlier.
As Su Mu thought of this, he no longer hesitated, but yanked out his rusty iron sword.
Weng!
As he wielded his iron sword, the sky in front of him was heaving and rippling like the broken surface of clear water. The sword ray exploded, and the sword aura brushed across the sky. With no end to its sharpness, it slashed hard at the mountain where Mu Chen was.
The graceful bearing of the sword seemed to be able to remove all if the obstacles in its path. Even an Upper Earthly Sovereign would have to avoid taking its direct blow! After all, Su Mu was merciless with his strike.
”Sword Deity Lang Ya certainly lives up to his name.” Even Mu Chen sang his praises secretly, while looking at the sword aura.
He then swung his robe, and a violent fighting spirit charged towards the sky from the bottom of the mountain. It then transformed itself into a Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit. With a yelp, the Fighting Spirit blocked moved in front of him to block him.
Shua!
The sword ray bore down on the body of the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit. The next moment, the Fighting Spirit let out a loud roar, then surged in an attempt to block the attack.
The next moment, the violent Fighting Spirit was torn apart by the sharp and domineering sword ray. A slit appeared on the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit, as it was almost split in half by that blow!
Su Mu had broken through the defense of the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit with just s single blow! After doing so, the sword ray was significantly dimmed, but its speed remained intact. The sword ray continued to charge towards Mu Chen, as though it would not stop until it drew blood.
The sword ray was getting closer to Mu Chen. Just as it entered within a radius of a hundred feet from Mu Chen, a spiritual array surfaced around Mu Chen and Nine large Spiritual Energy Dragons soared into the sky. The violent dragon breaths they spluttered collided hard with the sword ray.
Wham!
The sword ray burst every single stream of the dragon breath, while radiance continued to flicker, ultimately breaking through the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array. It then showed up in front of Mu Chen, pointing directly at his forehead.
”It's formidable.” Seeing that even the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit and the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array could not block the single strike from Su Mu, Mu Chen sang his praises. Immediately, a crystal-like ray surged in his eyes.
Shua!
The sword ray closed in at that moment. But just when it was about to thrust into Mu Chen's forehead, a crystal-like beam shot out, then turned into a palm-sized, exquisite crystal pagoda. The sword ray and the crystal pagoda collided once again.
Dang!
A crisp and clear sound resounded in the sky, while the mountain where Mu Chen was sitting was broken down into many rolling stone fragments. The crystalized light loomed over the sword ray in layers.
After which, the sword ray shook and gradually turned illusory. Eventually, it turned into a dot of light and dissipated.
As the sword ray dissipated, the crystal pagoda flew back to Mu Chen's forehead as he sat cross-legged in the air. As he swung his robe, the spiritual array disappeared.
