Chapter 835 - Difference in Battle Will

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

When Lu Kui heard Mu Chen’s words, his face couldn’t help twitching and he smiled from the anger. The killing intent in his eyes was practically gushing out. Although his strength was ranked third in the Dragon Serpent Sect, he had his strong points as well, which was his talent in Battle Will. Although it was insufficient to let him become a Battle Array Master, controlling the Battle Will of a few thousand wasn’t anything hard for him.

Based on this aspect alone, he was stronger than the second Sect Master, Lu Wu. Therefore, the Serpent Troop was his to command in the end.

Furthermore, anyone who had fought with the Dragon Serpent Sect knew that despite Lu Kui’s strength at Fifth Grade Sovereign, his fighting power was something that not even a Sixth Grade Sovereign could withstand after controlling the Serpent Troop.

That’s because, in that state, Lu Kui would gather the power of the entire Serpent Troop, further adding to his own strength, so he could even fight a Sixth Grade Sovereign!

This was the benefit of controlling Battle Will, it could allow someone to fight another that exceeded his own realm.

Therefore, when Lu Kui, who had some talent in the field of Battle Will heard Mu Chen’s words, the rage in his heart was like an erupting volcano and the ferocious smile on his face practically wanted to tear Mu Chen apart.

Those in the surroundings all exchanged a look and they were shocked by the arrogant speech from Mu Chen. After all, Mu Chen always gave others the feeling that he was mild and calm. This sudden change had left them somewhat startled.

But when they were startled, they couldn’t help frowning at Mu Chen’s words. After all, Lu Kui wasn’t your ordinary goon. The Serpent Troop that he commanded had achieved an extraordinary feat in the recent years, so not a single one of them here dared to speak like him.

Therefore, Mu Chen, at this moment, made them feel like he was being a little arrogant due to his youth…

But Mu Chen paid no attention to their thoughts and the Nine Nether Battle Will surged like ocean around him. He maintained a calm expression without any ripples in his eyes.

Lu Kui did have some talent in the way of Battle Will, but it was insufficient from letting him become a genuine Battle Array Master. That was because his comprehension in the way of Battle Will was merely in the initial state.

Right now, Lu Kui was still at the level of achieving through strength. It was greatly inferior to the Heart of Battle Formations that Mu Chen had comprehended.

While similar in quantity and quality of troops, being under the control of those two different realms could bring forth two completely different powers.

Mu Chen slowly spread his hands out and spread his consciousness out, coming into contact with the surging Nine Nether Battle Will. There weren’t any rejections, but had perfectly integrated.

Roars that filled with fighting intent swept over, but they could not disrupt Mu Chen’s state of mind as his consciousness grew stronger along with the Battle Will.

Rustle! Rustle!

The pitch-black Battle Will surged without wind and gathered around Mu Chen. Anyone could sense that the Nine Nether Battle Will seemed to be building up in layers at this moment.

An oppression had also quietly spread out.

Mu Chen’s black pupils suddenly flashed with a sharp light as the Battle Will gushed out, along with his hand abruptly clenching into a fist.

Boom!

A huge Battle Will soared into the horizon, before converging in the sky. As the Battle Will converged, it formed into a hundred-foot long black feather that was flickering with lightning, filled with great destructive power.

When the surrounding experts saw the black feather, their eyes lightly trembled. Even those Fifth Grade Sovereign experts had a slight change in their expression, since they could feel the threat coming from the black feather.

“Go.”

Mu Chen narrowed his eyes and flicked his finger. The black feather instantly pierced through space. It was like a feathered sword that slashed down at the Serpent Troop with unparalleled sharpness.

Rustle!

The feathered sword had not landed yet, but a deep crack had already appeared on the ground below.

“I’ll see how a brat like you that still reeks of milk can teach me about how to use Battle Will!!”

Lu Kui narrowed his eyes as he felt the sharp fighting intent from the feathered sword. But it did not make him fearful. He showed a ferocious smile, before barking out, “Serpent Troop!”

“Kill!”

Down below, the Serpent Troop burst forth with a roar and the greyish-black Battle Wills spread out. Along with Lu Kui’s hands clenching into fists, the Battle Wills violently gathered and formed into a huge greyish-black snake halberd that was emitting a cold chill, dropping the temperature in this region.

“Demonic Serpent Halberd!”

Lu Kui stomped his feet as the greyish-black serpent halberd twisted like a snake and, when it shot forth, space was immediately torn apart. In the next instant, it had already clashed with the black-feathered sword.

Boom!

Violent energy fluctuations rippled in the sky, causing patches of space to constantly distort as the two forces attempted to devour the other.

Everyone was staring at the sky.

As the two violent forces clashed, what made others astonished was the fact that the Nine Nether Battle Will was vaguely appearing to have the upper hand. As if there were thunderous roars resounding from the Battle Will, which prevented the chill from the Serpent Troop’s Battle Will from invading.

Boom!

The deadlock did not last for long. The Demonic Serpent Halberd shattered. But when the Demonic Serpent Halberd shattered, the black feather had also dulled in lustre by a great deal. Clearly, it had exhausted a great amount of energy, so when the black-feathered sword slashed down with the remnant energy it had left, it was easily destroyed by Lu Kui with a wave of his hand.

However, Lu Kui’s face was still extremely unsightly and anyone could tell that in the previous confrontation of Battle Wills, the Nine Nether Battle Will actually had the slight upper hand.

“This is the Battle Will that you want to teach me? But it doesn’t look like anything that great!!” Lu Kui said with an ashened expression.

However, his speech had caused many people to inwardly smack their lips. After all, they weren’t blind. Mu Chen’s previous attack had caused a great threat to Lu Kui, it’s just that Lu Kui didn’t want to admit it.

But this scene had also caused them to inwardly grow alert. That’s because they had previously thought that Mu Chen was just boasting around. But, right now, the stunning talent that he possessed in the field of Battle Will wasn’t something that could be underestimated just because of his age.

Hearing Lu Kui’s words, Mu Chen faintly smiled before closing his eyes and slowly spread open his arms.

Rumble! Rumble!

The Nine Nether Battle Will had quickly boiled and abruptly trembled before numerous huge beams of Battle Will shot into the sky.

When those beams of light converged together, numerous black-feathered swords were formed once again!

Those feathered swords weren’t any weaker than the one that Mu Chen had executed before. But there were more than ten of them formed right now, which caused the surrounding experts to suck in a cold breath.

Just a single black-feathered sword had caused such trouble to Lu Kui. Now that there were ten of them, even a Sixth Grade Sovereign would probably be in a pathetic state!

“How can he control Battle Will to such a degree?!” There was someone exclaiming in disbelief. Combining Battle Will to such a degree in one go wasn’t something achievable by an ordinary Commander.

Up in the sky, Nine Nether and Lu Wu were watching this scene. The former faintly smiled, while the latter couldn’t help having his face turn a little unsightly as he spoke in a solemn tone, “We’ve made an oversight this time. No wonder Palace Master Nine Nether wasn’t even the slightest bit worried, that kid actually had concealed his abilities so deeply!”

Whoosh!

Even when the entire region was in an uproar, Mu Chen did not hesitate in the slightest as he waved his hand, controlling the ten-plus black-feathered swords to swiftly burst out towards the direction of Lu Kui like bolts of lightning.

Lu Kui’s face turned extremely grave at this moment. Originally, he had also felt that Mu Chen’s control over Battle Will was unbelievable. But regardless, he had to deal with this attack first.

Reaching this far, he had no choice but to admit that Mu Chen was stronger than him in terms of Battle Will comprehension. At least he knew that the Demonic Serpent Halberd, which he had executed earlier, could not be easily created in such numbers like how Mu Chen did with a wave of his hand…

“Demonic Serpent Shield!”

Lu Kui’s seals swiftly changed as he let out a roar. A vast amount of the Serpent Troop’s Battle Will surged over, turning into a greyish-black barrier, with images of greyish-black snakes that could be seen wandering on the shield, emanating fearsome Spiritual Energy fluctuations.

When the Demonic Serpent Shield appeared, the black-feathered swords had already torn through space and ruthlessly slammed over.

Boom!

A crisp noise rang out. Every time a black-feathered sword slammed against the Demonic Serpent Shield, it would cause ripples to explode on it. But along with the shattering of every single feathered sword, the Demonic Serpent Shield would let out sharp hissing sounds as ripples swiftly undulated.

Boom! Boom!

The feathered swords shattered in succession. When all but one feathered sword broke apart, the Demonic Serpent Shield finally broke down as well, revealing Lu Kui’s somewhat savage face.

Boom!

Facing the last sword, Lu Kui did not retreat, but shot forth instead, and threw a fist out with boundless Battle Will spreading out. He gathered on his fist and slammed it towards the last remaining feathered sword.

Boom!

The powerful fist caused space to shatter. The feathered sword that could gravely injure a Fifth Grade Sovereign broke apart under his fist!

Many experts in this region exclaimed, since Lu Kui was not such an easy opponent, after all.

Shattering the feathered sword, the aura on Lu Kui had also reached the limit as he glared at Mu Chen, before ferociously smiling. “Ignorant brat, did you think that you can defeat me with just this?!”

Looking at Lu Kui, who was emanating a stunning aura, not only was Mu Chen not frightened, but he even smiled with interest instead. He then gently nodded his head and spat out a mouthful of white mist, then muttered, “Come out.”

When his voice gently fell, the boundless Nine Nether Battle Will behind him violently boiled and there seemed to vaguely be something that would emerge.

A peculiar fluctuation spread out as well.

The first to sense the abnormal fluctuation was Lu Kui. Hence, his aura had practically collapsed in an instant and his savage face was replaced with paleness. He looked at the boiling Nine Nether Battle Will in fear and felt his scalp numbing, as if he had seen a ghost.

“How is that possible?!”
