Chapter 961 - Fighting Liu Qing

Up in the sky stood the two massive figures as a terrifying Spiritual Energy swept out in waves like a storm, causing a violent gale to blow in this region. Even the clouds on the horizon had been torn apart.

Although this region had already been sealed up by Mandala, this place was still part of the Great Havenlaw Domain. Therefore, when the Spiritual Energy fluctuation burst out, it had swiftly caused an uproar in this region. In the distance, there were innumerable streaks of light making their way over, before they hovered in the sky and watched the confrontation before them.

They did not casually step into this region, since they saw that Mandala present. Since the Domain Ruler was there, then that battle must’ve been within her acceptance range.

Some experts that were on guard felt inwardly relieved before focusing their attention on the distant confrontation. Thereafter, shock appeared in their eyes.

“Isn’t that King Mu?”

“There’s someone actually fighting him, who is that person? I don’t remember seeing him before, but his Spiritual Energy pressure is truly stunning!”

“Judging from this Spiritual Energy pressure, he must be at the pinnacle of the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm. Even amongst the Kings, only Asura King is stronger than him. Just where did this person come from?”

“...”

All sorts of whispers resounded in the sky. Since the end of the Hunting War, Mu Chen’s fame had practically soared in the Northern Region, firmly seating him as the Overlord amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region. So that was why the experts of the Great Havenlaw Domain were somewhat startled when they saw someone fighting Mu Chen.

“I heard that the Nine Netherbird Clan was sending someone to bring the Nine Nether King back. If I have not guessed wrong, that young man should be the genius of the Nine Nether Clan.” All these people were, after all, part of the higher hierarchy of the Great Havenlaw Domain so they knew more pieces of information.

“But the Nine Nether Clan is truly formidable. This young man is already at the pinnacle of the Sixth Grade Sovereign Realm, even amongst those in the Northern Region, someone with this strength can be viewed with great importance.” Someone sighed.

“This person is exceptional, I just wonder whether King Mu can defeat him...” Someone spoke out with worries. Although Mu Chen had been in the limelight lately, he was still a Fifth Grade Sovereign. Naturally, if he could use his identity to fight as a Battle Formation Master, then the genius of the Nine Netherbird Clan would definitely not last more than five rounds. But it was a pity that Mu Chen couldn’t use Battle Will in this sort of battle.

If an ordinary person tried to use the strength of a Fifth Grade Sovereign to confront a pinnacle Sixth Grade Sovereign, perhaps everyone present would laugh. But if it’s Mu Chen, then they would consider his chances of success. That’s because, ever since the latter came, he had performed many miracles.

Therefore, everyone couldn’t predict the outcome of this confrontation.

As the confrontation between Mu Chen and Liu Qing drew more attention, the two of them weren’t the slightest distracted. They had fixed their gazes on each other with a chill surging their eyes and the Spiritual Energy around them had blown up a storm.

Liu Qing stood on the Nine Netherflame Bird and he tightly clenched the scarlet longspear. In the next instant, his eyes had turned red and he suddenly took a step forth.

Liii!

Beneath his feet, the Nine Netherflame Bird emitted a clear, crisp cry before the Nine Netherflame Bird opened its mouth and scarlet flames swept out. In just a few breaths of time, it had already covered the horizon.

“Nine Netherflame Bird Art - Scarlet Seas Incinerating the Heavens!”

Liu Qing pointed the scarlet longspear towards Mu Chen from afar and a scarlet sea of flames swept out. Space had distorted in the path of the flames that look blurred in the eyes of others.

Whoosh!

As the sea of fire swept out, it had instantly enveloped the Great Solar Undying Body. On the other hand, Mu Chen had stood with a calm expression on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body as a golden light blossomed from it.

The sea of flames whistled with the Great Solar Undying Body standing like a sturdy boulder. Not only did he not melt from the sea of flames, but even the golden lustre had also turned golden yellow under the great temperature, making it look prestigious.

Watching this scene, Liu Qing couldn’t help contracting his eyes, since the flames in the sea was made of his vital flames. It was so formidable and mighty that even Sixth Grade Sovereigns would melt, even after summoning their Sovereign Celestial Body. But right now, Mu Chen’s Sovereign Celestial Body did not move in the slightest; but instead, it looked even more refined.

“Where did that brat’s Sovereign Celestial Body come from for it to be so formidable?!” Liu Qing frowned his brows as he coldly snorted. He no longer hesitated and he formed a peculiar seal with a single hand.

Buzz!

Along with the changes of his seal, the flames suddenly gathered from the scarlet sea, which the Great Solar Undying Body was in, and swiftly formed into innumerable long flaming plumes. Those flaming plumes were like swords, covered with runes. As they blazed, there were extremely heated waves spreading out.

When the flaming longswords were formed, Mu Chen, who stood on the Great Solar Undying Body, had contracted his eyes, since he felt some dangerous fluctuations coming from those plumes.

Liu Qing looked at Mu Chen from afar and indifferently smiled, before he flicked his finger and had quickly used his killer move right away.

Buzz! Buzz!

The trembling noise from the swords rang throughout the sky. Suddenly, the innumerable plumes that floated above the sea of flames suddenly disappeared.

When Mu Chen saw this scene, he couldn’t help contracting his eyes. That’s because when those flaming plumes disappeared, he did not feel the slightest fluctuation.

This sort of feeling was as if the plumes had completely disappeared.

“No, they did not disappear. They’ve integrated into the sea of flames!”

But thereafter, Mu Chen quickly figured out what was going on. But at this moment, the golden light around the Great Solar Undying Body had suddenly disappeared. At this instant, ten-odd peculiar flames appeared around Mu Chen. Amongst the flames, were numerous flaming longswords that, despite being hot, were also filled with a sharpness that made Mu Chen feel a numbness on his skin.

Whoosh!

When those flaming feathered swords appeared, there wasn’t any hesitation as they bolted towards Mu Chen’s vital spots with a speed that made even Mu Chen unable to react in time.

Those feathered swords were extremely sharp, since they were clearly formed with Liu Qing’s full power. If Mu Chen was struck by them, even with Mu Chen’s powerful physique, he would also be riddled with blood holes.

As the swords were reflected in Mu Chen’s eyes, the edge of the swords had already come in contact with Mu Chen’s clothes. But, all of a sudden, Mu Chen’s eyes had turned sharp.

On the head of the Great Solar Undying Body, a golden light spewed out and swiftly formed into golden shields at lightning speed.

Boom! Boom!

The swords and shields clashed and exploded with ear-piercing sounds as the two dissipated with sparkles of light under the fluctuation of Spiritual Energy.

“What a quick reaction indeed...”

When Liu Qing saw that he had not succeeded, he smiled in astonishment, before flicking another finger again, “What about this time, then?”

As he finished speaking, Mu Chen’s heart trembled with cold because this time, he had seen that there were hundreds of thousands of feathered swords that appeared around him in a peculiar manner like a formation of swords that had him trapped within.

At this moment, only then did Mu Chen realise that the reason behind Liu Qing bringing out the sea of flames. It wasn’t to incinerate him, this sea of flames was part of his attack.

The feathered swords could integrate into the sea of flames and could casually appear in any location in this sea of flames. Therefore, even if Mu Chen had the protection of the Great Solar Undying Body, he still couldn’t defend himself against the feathered longswords.

Unless he could destroy the entire sea of flames, the attacks would be endless until he became a hedgehog... This attack could indeed, trap any Sixth Grade Sovereign to death. Liu Qing was a truly formidable opponent that cannot be underestimated.

However, even though he had previously showed a slightly pathetic sight, that was because he had been caught off-guard. However, if Liu Qing wanted to use the same technique again, then he would be underestimating Mu Chen far too much.

Therefore, when the thousands of flaming feathered swords shot over, Mu Chen’s sharp gaze had penetrated through them and fixed onto Liu Qing’s direction.

Capture the chief before capturing the bandits. As long as Liu Qing was defeated, then the sea of flames would also disappear.

Huff.

A lump of white mist slowly spat out of Mu Chen’s mouth as he formed a profound and complicated seal with both of his hands at lightning speed...

Boom! Boom!

When Mu Chen’s seals changed, the innumerable flaming swords shot over and a dense pack of golden shields appeared around him, before the two forces clashed. A sword aura wreaked havoc as it left traces of blood on Mu Chen’s body as they streaked across.

However, Mu Chen still remained with an indifferent expression, regardless of the golden shields decreasing as time passed. However the speed of his changing seals increased and in the next instant, his hands had suddenly stopped as afterimages swirl in the air.

In the distance, when Liu Qing saw Mu Chen’s seals coming to a stop, a surge of uneasiness rose in his heart.

However, before he could ponder about it, he saw that the space above Mu Chen had started to undulate before a massive bewitching flower could be vaguely seen as it slowly blossomed.

The demonic flower was dark-purple in colour and every petal was covered with ancient runes that seemed to be the ruins of the heavens and earth, which was extremely unfathomable.

As the bewitching flower blossomed, the Spiritual Energy in this region was frantically sucked in. It was so much so that the flames had started to whistle, turning into currents of flames that were sucked into the demonic flower.

As a result, the demonic flower grew even brighter.

Mu Chen raised his head, before he spat out a long breath and pointed his finger towards Liu Qing, whose face had become extremely unsightly. Lightly pulling the corner of his lips, he pointed his finger down.

“It’s impolite not to return an attack to you... Brother Liu, try this move from me...”

As he spoke, the heart of the demonic flower instantly surged with a dark purple lustre and the heart was aimed towards Liu Qing from afar. In the next instant, a terrifying attack was unleashed under the gentle voice from Mu Chen’s heart that gushed out, filled with destructive power.

“Perfect Rank Divine Art... Mandala... Heavens Annihilation Light...”
