Chapter 854 - Beating a dog while it’s down

Chapter 854 - Beating a dog while it’s down

When Mu Chen commanded the Nine Nether Troop, boundless Battle Will gushed out. The Battle Will was extremely refined and sturdy, even the Mountain Splitting King and the rest, who were some distance away, had cast sidelong glances over and vaguely which they felt disbelief.

But Mu Chen paid no attention to those as he stood in the sky. The Nine Nether Battle Will swept breath his feet like an ocean of ink. He closed his eyes and his consciousness had integrated into the Battle Will with endless roars resonating within his heart. Those roars even caused the blood in his body to gradually boil.

Allowing Mu Chen to command the Nine Nether Battle Will was equivalent to letting a tiger back into the mountain. He could easily sense the terrifying destructive powers that he could command in the ocean of Battle Will with a wave of his hand.

If Mu Chen had utilised this to fight with Fang Yi earlier, even with the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body, Fang Yi would be completely destroyed by him.

This was the power of Battle Will.

Although it wasn’t a power that belonged to himself, and contained many restrictions, everyone had to admit that, sometimes, it was a threatening power as well.

In the Primordial Age, those at the peak of being a Battle Formation Master could confront with peak experts of the world as well. Naturally, their fighting strengths would greatly diminish the moment they were separated from their troops. But if a powerful Battle Formation Master possessed an elite troop, then they were a force that not even peak experts of the Heavenly Sovereign Realm would underestimate.

“We have fought till the both of us were gravely wounded earlier… So why don’t we give it another go?” Mu Chen’s black pupils sharply looked into the distance. The Skycroc Troop was forming their defence as they swiftly retreated with Fang Yi amongst them. But even though there were many people amongst them, Fang Yi still felt the latter’s cold bone-piercing gaze.

Liiii!

Mu Chen’s hand fell without hesitation with a command in his heart. The ink ocean of the Nine Nether Battle Will swept out with a brilliant cry that echoed throughout this region. As the vast Battle Will surged, it had formed into a huge Nine Nether Bird. The massive figure of the Nine Nether Bird was imprinted with complicated runes and the powerful Battle Will had caused ripples in this space.

“Spirit of Battle Will?!”

When the Spirit of Battle Will appeared, the Mountain Splitting King and the two other Kings detected it and their eyes narrowed with shock as they looked at Mu Chen’s direction.

“What a good talent, King Mu, to be able to control Battle Will to such an extent at such a young age.” The Mountain Splitting King said solemnly. He had many experts as his subordinates, along with many outstanding Commanders as well. But there wasn’t a single one that could form the Spirit of Battle Will like Mu Chen.

Not far away from the Mountain Splitting King, Zhou Yue, who was one of the Great Four Commanders of the Great Havenlaw Domain, also had a complicated expression as he looked at the Spirit of Battle Will above the Nine Nether Troop. In the end, he could only sigh in admiration, since this move from Mu Chen had shocked him to the point that he didn’t even have the courage to challenge it…

Rustle!

The Spirit of Battle Will appeared, then its wings chopped down with a rustle under countless gazes. A beam of light that was like an extremely sharp blade slashed down, tearing the sky apart and appeared above the Skycroc Troop, before it fell without any hesitation.

The space was split apart in the path of the light beam.

Xu Ba stood within the Skycroc Troop and he felt a chill on his skin when he saw the beam of light whistling down, before he immediately unleashed an enraged roar.

“Skycroc Battle Will!”

Boom!

A scarlet Battle Will soared into the sky from the Skycroc Troop. It turned into a Battle Will force that travelled across horizon towards the beam of light in an attempt to obstruct it.

Poof! Poof!

However, the obstruction was meaningless. The Battle Will force had been torn apart by the beam of light. The destructive momentum even made the hearts of the Commanders of the Skycroc Troop to turn cold.

The sharpness of the beam of light that was sufficient to tear space apart had finally landed, causing ear-piercing noises, like blades slicing into a body. From the Skycroc Troop, there were multiple figures that spewed blood as they fell. Clearly, they were struck by the attack.

It was only a brief exchange and the Skycroc Troop had already lost a few hundred elite warriors.

Xu Ba’s face violently twitched and looked especially savage. Beside him, Fang Yi’s face had turned a little pale, since he did not expect Mu Chen to be so formidable after commanding the Nine Nether Troop.

“Swiftly retreat!”

Xu Ba roared. He had already sensed that the Blood Hawk Troop, which had initially been surrounded in the valley, had prepared to charge out and encircle their Skycroc Troop together with the Nine Nether Troop. If that happened, then they would definitely have to pay a greater price.

And right now, the Fire Wolf Lord and Sky Bear Lord were being pursued by the three forces of the Mountain Splitting King. So they couldn’t provide any aid for them and they could only rely on themselves to flee.

Mu Chen coldly looked at the retreating Skycroc Troop. He clearly did not want to give up on the chance of beating a dog while it’s down. He waved his hand and large black clouds swept out from the Nine Nether Troop. Up in the sky, the Spirit of Battle Will flapped its wings, causing boundless Battle Will to surge and formed into countless Battle Will black feathers that burst out like arrows in every direction.

Up in the sky, a large-scaled troop swiftly retreated while another troop was chasing it from behind. Every single confrontation between them would cause space to undulate and the ground below was torn apart…

Under the Battle Will confrontation, there were casualties to both sides. However, the Skycroc Troop that had no intention to fight naturally suffered a greater loss. Despite the fact that they had an advantage in numbers, the Nine Nether Troop had made up for their disadvantage in numbers with the Spirit of Battle Will.

Mu Chen appeared on the head of the Spirit of Battle Will and looked at the Skycroc Troop that was swiftly retreating with his eyes squinted. Or rather, Fang Yi’s figure that was amongst the troop. He then stretched his hand out and gently tapped.

Buzz!

The black feathers of Battle Will that shot out from every direction suddenly turned and the dozens of black feathers swiftly dodged the Battle Will obstruction of the Skycroc Troop, searching for Fang Yi’s figure, and shot over.

Clearly, Mu Chen had decided to get rid of Fang Yi.

Fang Yi also saw the black feathers of Battle Will that flew over at his direction and his face changed. He could sense the great power contained within those black feathers.

That was the focused Battle Will of Nine Nether Troop.

The current Mu Chen wasn’t the same as the previous one!

Boom!

But despite knowing that, Fang Yi wasn’t someone that would sit and wait for his death. He let out a low roar and the Spiritual Energy that he had recovered gushed out without any holding back. A huge figure had once again formed around him, it was the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body again.

Mu Chen looked at the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body with a cold arc hung on the corner of his lips. He gently swiped his finger down and the dozens of black feathers penetrated through space, then slammed against the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body.

Boom!

As violent Spiritual Energy undulations swept out, Mu Chen had destroyed the Primordial Starlight Celestial Body that he had fought with great injuries and Fang Yi’s pitiful figure flew from it, spurting mouthfuls of blood from his mouth. His face was as pale as paper.

It was only a single contact and Fang Yi had already lost!

Rustle!

In the distant, the other forces that still paid attention over to this region couldn’t help being dumbfounded. Who could have expected that Mu Chen, who had managed to get an outcome of both sides being heavily injured with his fight with Fang Yi after exerting numerous means, would be so terrifying at this moment? He had only used a move to defeat Fang Yi.

Although Mu Chen wasn’t alone at this moment and had gathered the entire power of the Nine Nether Troop, no one would think bad about it. This was a battlefield and only the outcome mattered. No one would be bothered about the process…

Only a fool would believe in absolute fairness.

Mu Chen indifferently looked at the defeated Fang Yi. At this moment, Fang Yi no longer had the spirit he had during their confrontation and the two of them were no longer on the same level.

Whoosh!

Mu Chen waved his hand and dozens more black feathers were shot out, separate from the ones that enveloped the entire Skycroc Troop, and flew towards Fang Yi. Clearly, he had intended to thoroughly beat the dog while it’s down.

Fang Yi had also sensed Mu Chen’s eerie killing intent in the first instance and his face turned pale as he swiftly retreated. He had already known that after commanding the Nine Nether Battle Will, Mu Chen was no longer someone he could confront.

But, right now, Mu Chen would definitely not give him any chance. The black feathers were extremely sharp with the boundless Battle Will of the Nine Nether Troop contained within them. They penetrated through space like bolts of lightning and appeared above Fang Yi in a few breaths’ time, before falling down.

Fang Yi’s path of retreat had been sealed.

Boom!

But just when those black feathers were about to hit Fang Yi, Xu Ba’s figure had swiftly appeared before the former like a bolt of lightning. He let out a bark and boundless Spiritual Energy exploded.

Boom!

The moment those black feathers of Battle Will came in contact with the violent Spiritual Energy, they had crumbled.

“A brat that’s still stinking of milk like you is too arrogant to try and kill someone in front of me!”

Xu Ba ferociously looked at Mu Chen, before roaring towards the Commanders of the Skycroc Troop, “You guys retreat for the time being. I’ll hold up this arrogant brat!”

“Is a Sixth Grade Sovereign terrific? Since you want to stand out, then you can be sacrificed to the Nine Nether Troop’s war banner!”

However, Mu Chen had indifferently smiled while facing Xu Ba’s roar and formed seals with a single hand. Instantly, the Spirit of Battle Will let out a long cry with terrifying Battle Will sweeping out in this region.

All the black feathers had instantly switched targets and locked onto the direction of Xu Ba, then shot over from every direction. Those black feathers were filled with killing intent.

The other forces in this region inhaled a chilled air. Mu Chen was so arrogant that he actually wanted to annihilate a Sixth Grade Sovereign with the strength of a troop!
