Chapter 834 - Serpent Troop

Chapter 834 - Serpent Troop

Outside the black wetland, the two troops stood confronting one another as killing intent surged in the eyes of both parties. The refined Battle Wills that were vaguely emitted from them even caused the Spiritual Energy in this region to undulate.

On the surrounding peaks, there were people from all other forces watching the confrontation, since they were clearly pretty interested in this battle. In this period of time, Mu Chen’s name had caused some waves in the Northern Region and many forces knew about the young man in the Great Havenlaw Domain.

In the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, Mu Chen’s stunning achievements had determined a spot for him within the younger generations of the Northern Region. But, right now, he’s not facing someone from the younger generation. Although the third Sect Master of the Dragon Serpent Sect, Lu Kui was merely ranked third, anyone knew that he was a famous killer, since he had led the Serpent Troop of the Dragon Serpent Sect and annihilated numerous enemy forces. Even the fingers on his two hands could not count the number of geniuses that were ruined by him.

Therefore, everyone was curious about who was the stronger one between Mu Chen, a dark horse that recently rose in the Northern Region, and Lu Kui, a veteran killer.

Up in the sky, Nine Nether and Lu Wu faced each other from far away. Nine Nether maintained a calm expression, while Lu Wu had an eye-narrowing smile as he looked at the situation down below, before giving Nine Nether a trifling smile. “Palace Master Nine Nether truly intends to let him lead the Nine Nether Troop to fight with Lu Kui’s Serpent Guard? Haha, why don’t we each take a step back and share this Grade-3 Ruin? This way, we can avoid the battle and ruin our friendship. What do you think?”

Nine Nether replied with indifference, “Sect Master Lu worries too much. In the dictionary of my Nine Nether Palace, there is no retreat, only to fight to the very end.”

Nine Nether looked at Lu Wu with a faint hint of ridicule in the depth of her eyes. She was not a greenhorn, since she knew that the three Sect Masters of the Dragon Serpent Sect were extremely greedy and cunning. Therefore, she practically did not believe in his nonsense about sharing the ruin. That fellow was clearly trying to probe her using such a speech.

Nine Nether was certain that if she took a little step back, Lu Wu would immediately show his ferocious side.

However, Nine Nether did not bother exposing herself, but looked at Lu Wu with indifference. The latter clearly did not place the Nine Nether Troop and Mu Chen in his eyes, thus he had great confidence in Lu Kui and the Serpent Troop. But then again… his confidence would completely collapse, in the end.

As her trail of thoughts processed this, the ridicule in the depth of Nine Nether’s eyes grew even denser as she looked at Lu Wu.

Nine Nether’s gaze had also caused Lu Wu’s face to turn a little dark as he waved his hand. “Lu Kui, since the Nine Nether Palace is so stubborn, there’s no need to be polite anymore…”

“Hehe, I didn’t have that intention right from the start.”

Lu Kui ferociously smiled as he stomped his feet, causing the ground to tremble and he barked out in a low voice, “Serpent Guard!”

Roar!

At his rear, the few thousand warriors of the Serpent Troop unleashed a deep roar that was accompanied with a vague hissing sound in their roars as greyish-black Battle Wills gushed out from their bodies.

The Battle Wills hovered above the Serpent Troop as surging Spiritual Energy fluctuations rippled out, causing gales to sweep in this region. At the same time, they had also caused the faces of many to turn grave. The Dragon Serpent Sect had clearly come prepared, since they dared to snatch something from a tiger’s mouth. With Lu Kui’s strength at the Fifth Grade Sovereign Realm, not even a Sixth Grade Sovereign could easily defeat him after using the Serpent Troop.

“Haha!”

Lu Kui’s figure moved as he appeared from within the surging Battle Wills above the Serpent Troop. He waved his hand, which caused the Battle Wills to overturn like layers of clouds, and made them spread out. It was a spectacular scene.

“Brat, I’ll teach you how you should play with Battle Will!”

Lu Kui arrogantly laughed as he stomped his feet, causing the greyish-black Battle Wills to sweep out like tidal waves and a hundred spiralling Battle Wills were launched.

Those Battle Wills spiralled at a high speed, which burst forth with astonishing destructive power. As they whistled, even space was torn apart and distorted, with the piercing sounds of wind resounding.

Many people watching the battle had their expressions turn grave. It was merely a wave of Lu Kui’s hand and he revealed his shocking control of Battle Will. It was no wonder why he could lead the Serpent Troop on a long war for all these years.

As the sharp piercing sounds swept over, the hundred spiralling greyish-black Battle Wills tore over like huge pythons. A smear of astonishment flashed across Mu Chen’s eyes when he raised his head to look at those attacks, since Lu Kui’s control over Battle Will had slightly exceeded his expectations.

But, then again… that was all to it.

Back then, when he commanded the Nine Nether Troop, which was numbered at a thousand, he was able to defeat the Blood Hawk Troop, which had five times his amount. Although the Commander of the Blood Hawk Troop, Wu Tian, was inferior to Lu Kui, it was also the same for Mu Chen. Right now… Mu Chen was also much stronger than back then!

Perhaps Lu Kui might have a decent control in the Battle Will, but he had no idea that the youth before him had a stronger comprehension and control in Battle Will than him.

Many gazes were focused on the battle as they saw Mu Chen calmly raise his hand, before waving it down. Behind him, the Nine Nether Troop, which had been enduring their rage, had a ferocious light blossoming from their eyes. They heavily stomped their spears on the ground and unleashed a bark. It was a thunderous roar that resonated throughout this region.

Boom!

A pitch-black Battle Will swept out from their bodies like a storm, before converging together in the sky. It instantly caused the colour of the clouds to change. It was an extremely vigorous Battle Will.

Mu Chen’s figure appeared above the Nine Nether Troop and he gently flicked his finger, controlling the pitch-black Battle Will to sweep out like a wave and formed it into a huge barrier before him.

Boom!

When the hundred spiralling greyish-black Battle Wills shot over and slammed against the barrier in succession, the black barrier had merely rippled from the intense impact. It did not shatter apart like how everyone had expected. On the contrary, it was extremely sturdy.

Mu Chen’s gaze calmly looked at the rippling black barrier, before raising his head and looked at the far away Lu Kui. “Is this your degree of control in Battle Will?”

“You’re courting death.”

Lu Kui revealed a savage smile as he spread his five fingers out before he abruptly clenched them!

Boom!

The spiralling greyish-black Battle Wills clashed together, instantly forming into a tornado that was a few thousand feet long that tore through space and charged towards the barrier.

Rumble!

At the point of impact, violent Battle Wills constantly swept out, causing numerous cracks to appear on this wetland.

Crack!

The barrier that was formed from Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will finally cracked, it was like a mirror that would soon shatter apart.

“Brat, you still smell of your mother’s milk. You’re courting death to challenge me in Battle Will!” Seeing as Mu Chen’s defence that would soon fall apart, Lu Kui couldn’t help savagely laughing.

However, Mu Chen smiled when he saw Lu Kui’s laughter and a chill gathered in his black pupils. He did not panic. He allowed the number of cracks to increase on the barrier.

Boom!

The barrier had finally reached its limits and shattered apart under countless gazes. But just when it shattered apart, Mu Chen gently clenched his hand together.

Rustle! Rustle!

Along with his five fingers clenching into a fist, the shattered fragments were swiftly wielded together at a stunning rate, forming into innumerable black feathers that shot out from every direction.

All of those black feathers were formed from Battle Will and every single one of those possessed such extremely shocking destructive power that even a Fifth Grade Sovereign would be in a miserable state when facing such an attack. But, such a ferocious attack was actually so casually created in the hands of Mu Chen.

Pfff! Pfff!

As the black feathers swept across, they had directly pierced through the greyish-black tornado, shattering the latter.

Destroying the Battle Will of the Serpent Troop, Mu Chen gently waved his hand and the innumerable black feathers disappeared, turning into lights that burrowed into the surging ocean of the Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will.

Mu Chen control was as smooth as moving clouds and flowing water, there was not a single flaw to it. Practically every single expert here was experienced, so they could see what height Mu Chen’s control over the Nine Nether Troop’s Battle Will had reached.

If Lu Kui’s control of Battle Will was coarse and wild, Mu Chen’s control of Battle Will was like an art that made others dazzled.

Therefore, they looked at each other and gently spat a mouthful of air with a smear of shock in their eyes. No one had expected that this youth, who had been recently rising in the Northern Region, would possess such stunning talent in the field of Battle Will on top of his shocking fighting capabilities.

Lu Kui’s face was dark as he looked at Mu Chen. The contempt that he had in his eyes had completely disappeared. Based on the control that Mu Chen had previous revealed, he was clear that the latter’s control in Battle Will wasn’t at all inferior to him.

He felt that this was hard to believe, since he was someone that had experienced numerous battles and could control the Serpent Troop’s Battle Will to such a degree. So, how was Mu Chen able to be comparable to him at such a young age?

Lu Kui’s gaze was eerie with killing intent surging in the depths of his eyes. The youth called Mu Chen was indeed dangerous. If he was to be taken as an enemy, he had to get rid of him right now or there would be no end of trouble.

“Looks like you want to kill me very much.”

Seemingly having sensed Lu Kui’s killing intent, Mu Chen revealed a smile. However, that smile was as cold as ice, without the slightest warmth in it as he gently raised his hand. A pitch-black Battle Will flowed near his fingertips like running water.

“Now then, let me teach you how you should be using Battle Will!”
