Boom!
When the fist covered by purple-lighted dragon scales collided with the huge thunder palm, a loud thud was heard. Space seemed to collapse. Thick black space cracks slowly extended out.
The bright golden light and the thunder light emanated like thousands of slithering snakes, swallowing the space around them. Even those nearby top powers staggered back. Their eyes filled with shock and questions as they looked at the point where the lights had collided.
“Mu Chen went head-to-head with Lu Sui?” The top powers were stunned. They never expected that Mu Chen would be so daring, going head-to-head with Lu Sui when he was not using his spiritual array.
“What?”
However, their shock quickly turned solemn as they realized that the strong thunder light was not as powerful as they had expected. The weak-looking golden light was not as fragile as they thought it would be, either.
“Mu Chen blocked Lu Sui’s attack?” Some of them blinked, and their expressions became even more serious than before. Everyone decided to stop belittling Mu Chen.
Zong Teng, who was dealing with Ink Blade, also noticed the same situation. He expression changed slightly, and his eyes were icy cold. Mu Chen was really a troublesome person.
“I told you. You are too naive when you think it is that easy to deal with Mu Chen,” said Ink Blade calmly.
Zong Teng did not mind his comment. He smiled. “Brother Ink, it’s still too early to be happy. Lu Sui isn’t as weak as you think. Compared to him, Mu Chen is still a distance away from him.”
Ink Blade was not very sure about his comments. He lowered his hands, looking calm. He and Zong Teng stood still. They did not start their fight immediately, as both were sure that it would be a fierce fight once they started. The rest of the top powers were eyeing them fiercely. If they sustained injuries, the rest of the people would not let them off.
Zong Teng’s objective was to stall Ink Blade so that Lu Sui would have sufficient time to kill Mu Chen. Similarly, Ink Blade, who had confidence in Mu Chen, decided to watch over Zong Teng and prevent him from ambushing Mu Chen. Even if Mu Chen had trump cards, he would not be able to defend against two Grade Seven Sovereigns.
They stood in front of each other without moving an inch. Their eyes flickered with coldness as they wanted to kill each other.
Dong!
While Zong Teng and Ink Blade were confronting each other, the violent thunder light and golden light continued to burst in the space.
Lu Sui’s expression was twisted behind his thunder palm. He stared at the situation with a hideous look, his eyes filled with rage.
He thought he could devastate Mu Chen in one blow, and never thought he would fail.
Lu Sui clenched his teeth and yelled in anger, “Kicking against the pricks! You’ve overestimated yourself!” His spiritual energy rushed out from his body like a torrent beating against the shore. The thunder light fired up fiercely under his palm. The surrounding air seemed to be exploding itself.
The power of the thunder palm increased with the raging palm wind. It seemed like it could burst the golden light in one shot.
Lu Sui realized that the situation now was too messy for prolonged combat. He needed to finish it swiftly to reduce his consumption of spiritual energy. Otherwise, he would be marked by the rest of the top powers, even if he won. That would cost him one of the five seats.
He needed to finish Mu Chen quickly.
Thunderlight swept over. Mu Chen narrowed his eyes. Instead of backing out, he plunged forward. Veins continued to tremble on his right arm. Each time they vibrated, it would release streams of overbearing power.
The Real Dragon Runes that ran around his arm became clearer. The dragon claw that encompassed Mu Chen’s five fingers became stronger and vivid. A sense of boundless energy was gradually exuded.
Phew.
A golden light flickered in Mu Chen’s eyes. He took a deep breath. He could feel an overbearing power from his body continuously injecting into his fist.
As the fist contained more and more daunting power, the golden light in his fist dimmed.
Lu Sui saw it, and he was gleeful. He thought Mu Chen could not hold it any longer.
His delight only lasted a moment. He narrowed his eyes and saw Mu Chen slowly bringing his golden fist up once again.
This fist looked as though as it carried a huge dragon on it.
Dong!
With the purple-golden dragon claw on his fist, Mu Chen swung his fist again and made another hit against the huge thunderbolt palm. The expression on Lu Sui’s face changed immediately.
He could sense the formidable, daunting power in Mu Chen’s fist.
Kacha!
The huge thunder palm cracked into lines almost immediately. The force came so fiercely that Lu Sui did not even have any time to react. His thunder palm was burst by the golden fist.
A golden light emerged, and the thunder light disappeared. Lu Sui staggered back in embarrassment. Mixed expressions surged on his face, as he looked ahead, shocked.
He did not expect that a punch from Mu Chen could exude such a tyrannical strength.
This was not a strength that a Grade Six Sovereign could possess.
Mu Chen’s punch not only burst his Gather All Thunder Hand, but its piercing force was also overbearing. At the same time, it was so powerful that it suppressed all the spiritual energy circulating in his body. It seemed like he could not be forceful with Mu Chen. He had underestimated him.
Shoo!
Even when Lu Sui decided to tone it down and changed his strategy in dealing with Mu Chen, the latter did not give him any time to do so. The golden lights flickered. Mu Chen appeared like a ghost in front of Lu Sui and forcefully swung out another purple-golden dragon fist.
Lu Sui’s expression changed. He shielded himself with both arms. Violent thunder light spiritual energy curled around his arm and formed a Thunder Light Shield.
Bang!
The golden dragon fist hit, and the Thunder Light Shield crumpled as a banging sound was heard. Lu Sui was forced back again.
As Lu Sui was thrown back, Mu Chen followed him closely. The golden dragon fist punched out one strike after another. Lu Sui was not given any chance to rest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Within seconds, Mu Chen punched out dozens of times. Lu Sui was thrown back each time the fists hit him. His spiritual energy fluctuation had originally been boundless, but under the continuous attack of the fists, his spiritual energy gradually dissipated.
Anyone could tell that Lu Sui had lost his opportunity due to his carelessness. Lu Sui was forced into a totally pathetic predicament as Mu Chen stacked up his fearsome offense. If it were not for his strong foundation, he would have been heavily injured by Mu Chen’s continuous attacks.
Even so, his face turned ghastly pale as he tried to evade Mu Chen’s attacking range. Traces of blood were found at the corners of his lips.
He looked at Mu Chen again, this time, with fear in his eyes. Dozens of punches crashed his arrogance.
The rest of the top powers in the Thunder Cloud Tower were also focusing on their match. Their expressions turned extremely solemn. They gazed towards Mu Chen with wariness.
All of them had shared the same thought, that Mu Chen was only daring enough for the Body-refining Tower because of his spiritual arrays. They now realized that Mu Chen’s body was compelling, and it was not any weaker than their Divine Beast Bodies!
This fellow was a Divine Beast in disguise!
Back in mid-air, the expression on Lu Sui’s face hardened as he looked at Mu Chen in front of him. However, Mu Chen looked indifferent. The fierce aura around him struck fear into Lu Sui.
As Mu Chen fixed his pitch-black eyes with an emotionless gaze on Lu Sui, he thought he was being targeted by a fierce, ancient beast. He could not seem to hide.
The current Mu Chen seemed to be undefeatable.
With an angry look, Lu Sui gritted his teeth and said, “Mu Chen, this matter is settled. If you continue to pester me, don’t blame me for being ruthless. Even if I sustain severe injuries, I will definitely include you!”
Lu Sui was quite mean. Despite knowing that the situation was unfavorable for him, he did not show any signs of weakness. He was confident that he would not let Mu Chen have any advantages, even though his aura was daunting.
However, Mu Chen only looked up as he heard Lu Sui’s words. His gaze did not weaken. Instead, it intensified.
Without any outward indication, his body was heating up from previous rounds of combat. An almost exploding impulse gathered in his body.
If that power was not released, he was afraid that he might injure himself with it.
Therefore, it would not be possible for him to stop now.
“I will let you go, only if you can take my next move,” Mu Chen said calmly.
“You arrogant brat!” Lu Sui raged as he was forced into a predicament by a Grade Six Sovereign human being. The expression on his face turned even more hideous. The way he looked at Mu Chen was as though he would tear him up into pieces.
“Since you’re courting your own death, I’ll be glad to grant your wish!”
Lu Sui gave a loud cry. Thunderlight burst out from his body. Thunder rumbled through the sky. Dominating oppression spread slowly by itself.
Mu Chen was not bothered by it. He took a deep breath. With golden lights gathering in his eyes, a Dragon-Phoenix figure formed. He clenched his fist and trembled.
He could sense the runes of the real dragon and real phoenix on his body vibrating at the same time. The daunting power seemed to be tearing his body apart.
If it was not released now, his body would explode!
Mu Chen did not want his body to burst, so he had to let Lu Sui bear this destructive power.
