Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“I’ll accept your punch, not evade it.” Mu Chen’s voice spread through the crowd and attracted the attention of many top-notch warriors. Their faces immediately showed interest. Obviously, Mu Chen’s attitude was unexpected.
Not only did he accept Xiong Ba’s challenge, but he also said something quite arrogant! It was not an easy task for a Lower Earthly Sovereign to take a direct attack from a Upper Earthly Sovereign.
On the third floor, Ling Feizi’s eyes also brightened at this moment. She then smiled and said, “I did not expect that he would be such a brave man. He is changing my opinion of him. Hey, Xiong Ba, since he asked for it, why don’t you just fulfill his wish?”
Many powerful people at the scene heard this and all smiled secretly. They all knew that, if that woman was furious, it would be very scary!
Then, after hearing what she had said just now, Mu Chen had no chance to back out. So, Mu Chen could only withstand the attack, even if it was an iron hammer!
If what Mu Chen had said just now were just words of arrogance, then he was in deep trouble. However, what surprised everyone was that the youth was surprisingly calm.
It made them wonder whether he had some tricks up his sleeve. After all, it was not an easy task for a Lower Earthly Sovereign to have a face-to-face battle with an Upper Earthly Sovereign.
In the midst of all of these suspicious eyes, Xiong Ba’s face was furious and filled with anger. He stared at Mu Chen, apparently surprised that Mu Chen would look down on him.
“Kid, it seems that you are tired of living!” Xiong Ba’s eyes stared at Mu Chen like he was a fierce beast that was ready to pounce on Mu Chen.
Mu Chen’s brows slightly furrowed as he said, “You talk too much nonsense! Do you still want to fight?”
Xiong Ba was furious over Mu Chen’s attitude, but in the end, he controlled his anger and simply gnashed his teeth. “Well, I will fulfill your wish today!”
Boom!
When the booming sound fell, the only thing visible was the body of Xiong Ba that contained a red spirit that was filled with an incomparable violence. The violent energy was like a storm, tearing apart the dimension.
The spiritual energy of Xiong Ba was full of fierceness and had a very violent temperament. Its sound was like a bear that was screaming through the forest.
The body of Xiong Ba was enlarged, then it finally turned into a little giant. His face was even a bit distorted. He looked like a hybrid between a bear and a man. Many of the powerful people witnessed this scene and gasped in amazement.
“It is said that the practice of cultivation of this bear tyrant technique requires the blood of the Primordial Divine Beast, Rending Heaven Blood Bear, to be combined with one’s own spiritual energy. That spiritual energy has a violent power that could break the sky and ground. There is simply no match for this kind of strength.” A powerful man sighed.
Luo Tianshen stared at Xiong Ba intensely. He could not help but feel worried. This bear was obviously going to apply its own spiritual energy to the extreme to deliver a blow to kill Mu Chen.
However, Mu Chen was also looking at the body of the bear tyrant. As he felt the violent spiritual energy that was coming from the beast, his eyes lit up slightly.
Roar!
The spiritual energy in Xiong Ba produced waves of madness. Then, the spiritual energy finally reached its peak.
As he screamed in the sky, the sound was like a growling bear. It was even visible and caused a crack to form in the sky.
Boom!
Xiong Ba’s red eyes locked onto Mu Chen, and in the next moment, he dashed in front of him suddenly, then quickly turned the floor tiles into powder.
As Xiong Ba’s body turned into a ray of light, it was followed by a dashing sound. His right fist was slowly blasting out.
A giant and fierce ancient bear was seen behind Xiong Ba. The bear took its paw and aligned it with Xiong Ba’s fist.
Bang! Bang!
Dimensions were cracked and many space fragments that were near the fist were reduced to nothing.
“Big Devil’s Heavenly Fist!” The sound of its scream was frightening, especially when combined with the power of the punch. The sound was surprising for the many powerful people who were observing the scene.
This punch gathered the spiritual energy of the bear. Although it looked burly and clumsy, it was obviously was very sly.
As he was afraid of Mu Chen’s tricks, he chose the most direct way to defeat him. He had used the spiritual energy of the Upper Earthly Sovereign to completely destroy Mu Chen. These actions seemed clumsy, but they were actually the skill of a great warrior!
Even if Mu Chen had more tricks up his sleeve, it would be impossible to stop it! After all, no matter what, as Mu Chen was only a Lower Earthly Sovereign, when competing with the massive power of the Upper Earthly Sovereign, that power was enough to crush the defense of any Lower Earthly Sovereign!
Therefore, many of the powerful people on the scene were sighing when Xiong Ba attacked. The only way to get out of this situation would be to evade the attack completely.
But, Mu Chen could not evade it because of what he had said before. Hence, he was in a tough situation!
When Ling Feizi saw this scene, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up. She knew that Mu Chen would have to pay a heavy price because of his arrogance.
In the midst of numerous sighs and much gloating, Mu Chen looked at the incoming iron fist and took a deep breath. Then, his feet opened slightly and the palm slowly extended. He then went into a stance to brace himself for the punch.
However, at this moment, no one noticed a crystalite light that was shining in the depths of Mu Chen’s eyes. All of the spiritual energy in his body was poured into the Crystal Pagoda and had transformed into crystal spiritual energy!
As the faint crystal light began to emanate from Mu Chen’s body, the violent and brutal punch of the bear was getting closer.
“Die!” the bear screamed as loud as thunder. Its overwhelming aura of anger and horror was accompanied by a strike onto Mu Chen’s palm.
Boom!
The moment the fists touched, it seemed that the sound of the thunder was blasting out into the air. Everyone heard it, and the robes of Mu Chen were directly blown back in an instant.
At this time, droplets of blood flowed from Mu Chen’s palm. His hand was stained with red blood because of the spiritual impact of Xiong Ba’s violent attack. The storm formed by the red spiritual energy had covered both of them entirely.
“See how I shattered your body into pieces?” Xiong Ba smiled.
In the next moment, a red violent spiritual energy flowed into his fist, like a flood with an unstoppable force, then poured Mu Chen’s body. It was intended to completely shatter the Mu Chen from the inside out!
This was not the first time that Xiong Ba had attempted this kind of brutal action. When he had done this before, two Lower Earthly Sovereign had exploded into pieces!
Boom!
The red violent spiritual energy rushed into Mu Chen’s body, but at this time, Xiong Ba suddenly saw a faint sneering smile appear on Mu Chen’s face.
“You are going to die, yet you are still playing tricks?” Xiong Ba’s eyes were gloomy.
Suddenly, the violent spiritual energies that had just entered Mu Chen’s body were losing their connection with Xiong Ba. But, at this moment, Xiong Ba’s pupils suddenly contracted because he was shocked to discover that the spiritual energy that continued to flow into Mu Chen’s body had lost connection!
That feeling was as though Mu Chen’s body had been turned into a black hole. As such, any spiritual energy that flowed into it would be swallowed up in an instant.
“How is this possible?” Xiong Ba was shocked.
Mu Chen grinned. Xiong Ba’s spiritual energy was really violent, but unfortunately, Mu Chen did not fear the incoming spiritual energy in his current state.
At this time, the crystal spiritual energy was constantly whistling in his body. Whenever these crystal spiritual energies came into contact with the powers that had rushed into Mu Chen’s body, he would become quiet in an instant because they were directly sealed.
At this moment, many of the powerful people who were present also found something very wrong with the situation. Their expressions changed slightly because they realized that, no matter how Xiong Ba madly propelled the spirit to try to shatter Mu Chen’s body, Mu Chen’s body was unmoving. Even the soles of his feet were completely still!
“How can this be?” These top-notch powerful people were shocked.
While everyone was still trying to comprehend what had just happened, Mu Chen was faintly smiling at the Xiong Ba. He then asked, “Do you want your spiritual energy? Then, I return it to you.”
As he slightly gripped his other hand, the red and violent force surged out. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a red spiritual light ball. Then, Mu Chen held the ball of light before he directly hit Xiong Ba with it!
In the face of Mu Chen’s action, Xiong Ba only laughed out loud. This was because, when the red spiritual light ball had touched his body, it was absorbed into his body like water in a sponge!
“Haha, stupid! Do you want to use my spiritual energy to attack me? That’s really crazy!” Xiong Ba laughed out loud.
“Is it?” Facing his mad laughter, Mu Chen kept a strange smile on his face.
Just when his voice had dissipated, Xiong Ba’s face experienced a drastic change. This was because he found out that all of the original spiritual energy in his body seemed to be affected by some kind of infection.
As such, he had lost control of the spiritual energy! Xiong Ba’s initially horrific spiritual energy, which surrounded him, disappeared instantly!
“My spiritual energy!” Xiong Ba was gripped by a strong sense of fear.
“Do you also want to try and take my punch?” However, he did not have time to carefully study what had happened to the spiritual energy in his body, as Mu Chen had already stepped forward and taken action. Mu Chen’s punch was as fast as thunder, and it landed square on Xiong Ba’s chest!
Bang!
A low-pitched sound was emitted, and Xiong Ba’s body flew away, as it had just experienced a severe blow. It created a long trace on the ground and blood was spurting out of his body. Also, his entire chest collapsed.
The whole atmosphere grew silent. The powerful people were amazed by what had just happened.
They could not understand why Xiong Ba’s powerful hit had failed to achieve the desired results. Instead, his spiritual energy had dissipated, revealing his great flaw and causing him to be tragically beaten by Mu Chen!
In front of all of these stunned eyes, Mu Chen stood still, raised his young and handsome face, and smiled. He then looked up at Ling Feizi’s gloomy face and said, “I will accept the 80 million in Sovereign Spirit Liquid now…”
