The Great Ruler - Chapter 1255

Chapter 1255




Weng Weng!

When Su Mu reached for that rusty iron sword, a daunting sword aura exploded immediately, wreaking havoc between heaven and earth . A part of the space was slashed by the intimidating sword aura, revealing traces of slits .

His eyes flickered with sharp a radiance as he glared at Mu Chen . The previous gentle demeanor disappeared entirely .

As the Chinese saying goes, "Be courteous before using force . " The courtesy was over, and now it was time to test out Mu Chen's strength .

If they realized that the latter was not qualified to form an alliance with them, they would strike immediately and take back the Battle Seals from Mu Chen .

The equality of both parties was based upon adequate capabilities . As such, if one wished for fair treatment, they must first display their strength to prove that they are worthy of it .

Mu Chen was quite clear on this, so he did not show any displeasure . Instead, he spoke with a gentle and soothing tone, "Please go ahead, Brother Su . "

Noticing a fearless expression on Mu Chen's face, Su Mu also nodded his head slightly . He had heard of Mu Chen's recent fame, so he knew that he must have some capabilities .

However, their enemies were the three Holy Children, whose domineering power was known throughout the entire Western Kingdom Continent . As such, they needed to verify if Mu Chen was up for it . Otherwise, he would be the weakest link, causing their plans to fail when the crucial time came .

In that case, they figured that they would rather get back Liu Xingchen's Battle Seals in exchange for the treasures, then retire from the battlefield earlier .

As Su Mu thought of this, he no longer hesitated, but yanked out his rusty iron sword .

Weng!

As he wielded his iron sword, the sky in front of him was heaving and rippling like the broken surface of clear water . The sword ray exploded, and the sword aura brushed across the sky . With no end to its sharpness, it slashed hard at the mountain where Mu Chen was .

The graceful bearing of the sword seemed to be able to remove all if the obstacles in its path . Even an Upper Earthly Sovereign would have to avoid taking its direct blow! After all, Su Mu was merciless with his strike .

"Sword Deity Lang Ya certainly lives up to his name . " Even Mu Chen sang his praises secretly, while looking at the sword aura .

He then swung his robe, and a violent fighting spirit charged towards the sky from the bottom of the mountain . It then transformed itself into a Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit . With a yelp, the Fighting Spirit blocked moved in front of him to block him .

Shua!

The sword ray bore down on the body of the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit . The next moment, the Fighting Spirit let out a loud roar, then surged in an attempt to block the attack .

The next moment, the violent Fighting Spirit was torn apart by the sharp and domineering sword ray . A slit appeared on the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit, as it was almost split in half by that blow!


Su Mu had broken through the defense of the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit with just s single blow! After doing so, the sword ray was significantly dimmed, but its speed remained intact . The sword ray continued to charge towards Mu Chen, as though it would not stop until it drew blood .

The sword ray was getting closer to Mu Chen . Just as it entered within a radius of a hundred feet from Mu Chen, a spiritual array surfaced around Mu Chen and Nine large Spiritual Energy Dragons soared into the sky . The violent dragon breaths they spluttered collided hard with the sword ray .

Wham!

The sword ray burst every single stream of the dragon breath, while radiance continued to flicker, ultimately breaking through the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array . It then showed up in front of Mu Chen, pointing directly at his forehead .

"It's formidable . " Seeing that even the Black Tortoise Fighting Spirit and the Nine Dragon Devouring Fairy Array could not block the single strike from Su Mu, Mu Chen sang his praises . Immediately, a crystal-like ray surged in his eyes .



Shua!

The sword ray closed in at that moment . But just when it was about to thrust into Mu Chen's forehead, a crystal-like beam shot out, then turned into a palm-sized, exquisite crystal pagoda . The sword ray and the crystal pagoda collided once again .

Dang!

A crisp and clear sound resounded in the sky, while the mountain where Mu Chen was sitting was broken down into many rolling stone fragments . The crystalized light loomed over the sword ray in layers .

After which, the sword ray shook and gradually turned illusory . Eventually, it turned into a dot of light and dissipated .

As the sword ray dissipated, the crystal pagoda flew back to Mu Chen's forehead as he sat cross-legged in the air . As he swung his robe, the spiritual array disappeared .

He then lifted his head and looked at Su Mu . "Sword Deity Lang Ya has indeed lived up to his name . "

The previous attack alone was enough to prove that Su Mu was the top among the Upper Earthly Sovereigns, as both his defending spiritual array and battle arrangement could not stop the fearsome sword aura .

"That sword of his is not as simple as it first seemed . " Mu Chen looked at the rusty iron sword in the hand of the Sword Deity Lang Ya . That sword might not seem impressive, but based on his speculation, it could be a Middle-Grade Sacred Object similar to Mandela's Starry Suppression Tower!

Su Mu gazed at Mu Chen, who was not hurt at all . His eyes narrowed as he exchanged a glance with Chu Men . Both of them could spot the solenness within each other's eyes .

Even though it had not been the most formidable of Su Mu's strikes just now, Su Mu did not spare any mercy for him . Yet, Mu Chen managed to block it .

Most importantly, Mu Chen had apparently reserved his power . To be more precise, Su Mu did not manage to force Mu Chen into revealing his hidden trump cards . Hence, what Su Mu and Chu Men saw were the same means and skills that were displayed previously . This caused myriad mixed emotions to surge in the hearts of Su Mu and Chu Men, who regarded Mu Chen as only a Lower Earthly Sovereign .

"Am I qualified now?" Mu Chen looked at the two persons, stood up, and smiled .



Su Mu nodded with a smile too . As for Chu Men, he was less agitated than before . Apparently, Mu Chen had impressed them with his own strength .

"No wonder Mu Chen is unstoppable recently . We now know that the rumor was true after witnessing it ourselves," Su Mu said, while he and Chu Men got near to Mu Chen and gave him a warm smile .

Mu Chen put on a smile too, while all of them made some courteous remarks before Mu Chen changed the topic . "I wonder what the plan is from now on?"

The plan he mentioned was obviously referring to the strategy for dealing the three Holy Children of the Western Kingdom War Temple .

Chu Men looked at Su Mu and said, "According to our speculations, the three Holy Children should be wiping out the rest of the people in the battlefield right about now . The battlefield will soon be cleared, except for the three of us . "

"They want to have the last duel . " Mu Chen's expression turned solemn . Apparently, the three Holy Children wanted to clear off those fellows to avoid them from sprouting up at a crucial moment .

"What's the bracket of the duel?" Mu Chen asked .

Chu Men scratched his head and said, "According to the original pact with Brother Liu, I should take on Ling Longzi . His physical body is strong, and his skills are similar to my harsh and violent style . It will be nice for me to go head-on with him . "

He then said, "As for Brother Su, he will take on Ling Jianzi . Both of them were the most outstanding persons who practiced on swords among the Upper Earthly Sovereigns in the Western Kingdom Continent . As such, they might want to settle their old scores this time . "

At that moment, Chu Men and Su Mu looked slightly embarrassedly at Mu Chen . This was because the trickiest opponent, Ling Zhanzi, had been left for Mu Chen to deal with .

"If Brother Mu doesn't feel comfortable, I can handle Ling Zhanzi," said Su Mu .

He naturally knew how dominant Ling Zhanzi was . Even the strongest person among them, who was Liu Xingchen, was defeated by him . Hence, even Su Mu would not be able to win . But, if he could bide his time and wait for Mu Chen and Chu Men to win their matches, the outcome might be very different .

Mu Chen thought it over it, then eventually shook his head and smiled . "Thank you, Brother Su, but since I took the Battle Seals from Brother Liu, I should be the one to take him on . Moreover, as I took advantage of him, I'm afraid he would not let me off easily . "

Mu Chen rejected the kind gesture of Su Mu . Of course, he did not trust the latter too much anyway . After all, if Su Mu were eliminated speedily by Ling Zhanzi in these three versus three duels, it would cripple the entire gameplay . Mu Chen did not want to see this happen .

He would rather face Ling Zhanzi directly . After all, he was not as afraid as Su Mu and Chu Men were . In fact, he was looking forward to the fight with Ling Zhanzi . Mu Chen knew very well that Ling Zhanzi was a good training partner that could test his limits .

Su Mu and Chu Men were slightly stunned by the calm and relaxed smile on Mu Chen's face . They had noticed that Mu Chen showed no fear at the thought of fighting against Ling Zhanzi .

Perhaps, he can really deal with Ling Zhanzi . . .

Both of them seemed to be influenced by Mu Chen, and they were soon much more relaxed .

Feeling a little hopeful, Su Mu said, "Now, we just need to wait for the final battle . "

Mu Chen smiled to Su Mu and Chu Men before he landed in a dense forest . He then sat on top of an old tree, looking tranquil .

Su Men and Chu Men also sat on the two mountains at the side . They looked into the distance, while a spiritual energy kept circulating around them, indicating the ceaseless swirling of their complex emotions .

The sun and moon started to exchange places in the sky, marking that the day would soon be over . Even though they were sitting quietly, all three of them could vaguely sense the growing emptiness in this space . The seething atmosphere had quieted down, as apparently, the battlefield had been wiped clean .

The warm sun hung in the sky, while the sun ray spilled over the trio . All three of them suddenly opened their eyes, and as they looked at the sky towards the west, the space suddenly vibrated and the clouds started swirling . At this point, three streamers flashed across the sky like comets!

The streamers eventually turned into three figures, who were standing about a thousand feet away from Mu Chen and the rest . Looking at the three figures, Mu Chen, Su Men, and Ba Dao slowly braced themselves for a confrontation from far .

This moment, the sky seemed to darken slowly . . .
