Chapter 892 - Hostages
Rumble!
The light pillar, which was dazzling with runes, dived down. Looking from afar, it was like a spear of annihilation that could penetrate through space. Even a Sixth Grade Sovereign would have a drastic change of expression before it.
From the pillar of light, they felt a threatening danger.
Under countless startled gazes, Xiao Tian's face was pale as he watched the approaching dazzling pillar of light with shock covering his eyes. He couldn't imagine how Mu Chen managed to bring out such a powerful Battle Will attack from the five mashed-up troops.
The Battle Will energy contained within that dazzling pillar of light had clearly exceeded his Python Battle Will Spirit.
"It's just a façade, don't try to make a fool out of me!"
Xiao Tian roared. The confrontation, which he was confident in, had actually turned into such a situation. It was clearly hard for him to accept this and both of his eyes had turned red. He swiftly formed seals at lightning speed, while his roar resounded throughout the sky.
"Sky Profound Division, unleash all you have!"
Boom!
The Sky Profound Division had unleashed an enraged roar behind him as a boundless Battle Will soared into the sky. The runes on the Python Battle Will Spirit had also lit up before it pounced forth, shattering space in the process with an explosion.
The Python Battle Will Spirit did not dodge, but clashed head-on. It was like a massive dragon that soared in the sky and, in the next moment, had clashed with that descending dazzling pillar of light with the vast Battle Will of the Sky Profound Division!
Hiss!
In that moment of collision, this region of space collapsed as huge cracks spread out like dragons. The scene looked similar to a major disaster.
When the sky collapsed, a sharp shriek of hisses resounded with innumerable amounts of people having directed their gazes over, before realising with astonishment that the massive Python Battle Will Spirit was immediately penetrated by that dazzling pillar of light and the dreadful Battle Will impact caused the radiance within runes on the Python Battle Will Spirit to dim down and collapse...
Xiao Tian's countenance was instantly rid of colour.
Fang Yi and Liu Yan from afar had an unsightly expressions and the depths of their eyes flashed with hints of shock. That's because they realised that at this moment, Mu Chen looked to be even stronger than when he fought with Xiao Tian back then.
If he had revealed such terrifying means when he previously fought with Xiao Tian, the latter wouldn't have had any intention in provoking him.
"That bastard truly knows how to conceal things!"
Facing those astonished gazes, Mu Chen paid no attention to them, but was looking at the Python Battle Will Spirit that was pierced through by the radiant pillar of light and suddenly clenched his fist.
Rumble!
Along with the clench of his fist, the Python Battle Will Spirit that had been pierced through finally couldn't hold on any longer and then shattered into sparkles of light in the sky in an explosion.
Poof! Poof!
Along with the destruction of the Spirit of Battle Will, Xiao Tian spewed a mouthful of blood and his face had turned pale. Behind him, the Sky Profound Division also had many warriors spewing mouthfuls of blood. Some people even fell from the sky and their Battle Will, which was initially rolling, turned dispirited...
Clearly, the destruction of the Spirit of Battle Will had caused the Sky Profound Division to suffer heavy injuries.
Mu Chen stood in the sky, indifferently looking at the utterly defeated Sky Profound Division. The current morale of the Sky Profound Division had collapsed and they could clearly no longer form a Battle Will comparable to the past. They had already lost this battle.
"Bastard!"
Xiao Tian roared a curse and his figure had burst in retreat. At the same time, he had also issued an order. It was hard for the Sky Profound Division to gather their Battle Will at this moment, and he no longer had any means of confronting Mu Chen.
But at this moment, Mu Chen clearly had no intention of letting him go. His gaze was cold. He waved his hand and a beam of Battle Will had penetrated through space. It was like a bolt of lightning that pursued after Xiao Tian and heavily slammed against him.
Poof! Poof!
Suffering the heavy attack, Xiao Tian spewed another mouthful of blood and the brilliance in his eyes turned dark. He looked to be on his last breath and was on the verge of death.
Mu Chen made a grabbing gesture that pulled Xiao Tian over with Spiritual Energy forming into robes that tightly bound around Xiao Tian. After dealing with Xiao Tian, with the will of his heart, the boundless Battle Will formed into a light screen and enveloped the defeated Sky Profound Division.
Without Xiao Tian, the Sky Profound Division was like a group of fish that he could easily slaughter and they weren't capable of putting up any resistance. Upon facing the envelopment of the Battle Will, they couldn't break through the blockade, not to mention unleashing the fearful attack like they had before.
A troop without their Commander was no more than ordinary warriors without being able to gather any Battle Will. Since they didn't even have the cultivation of Sovereign Realm, they were just a bunch of ants.
Despite the ants being a considerable amount, it was still futile.
It only took an instant for him to capture Xiao Tian and trap the Sky Profound Division. After finishing all of that, only then did Fang Yi and Liu Yan recover from their shock and Liu Yan's face turned pale.
"Mu Chen, release the men of my Sky Profound Palace. Otherwise, it will be irreconcilable for the two of our forces!" Liu Yan barked with his teeth clenched. Be it Xiao Tian or the Sky Profound Division, they were forged after a large number of resources of their Sky Profound Palace. So either loss would be a great blow to their Sky Profound Palace.
But in response to his yell, Mu Chen had only raised his eyelid and said with a smile-yet-not-a-smile expression, "Judging from Young Palace Master Liu's words, are we perhaps friends, now?"
Liu Yan's gaze slugged, then he ferociously looked at Mu Chen, before saying in an eerie tone, "What do you what?!"
"Stop your Sky Profound Palace." Mu Chen said indifferently as he continued, "If you guys want to have a life-and-death struggle, then I'll just annihilate these guys from the Sky Profound Division first."
Although his voice was calm, the coldness in his tone contained genuine killing intent.
"Stop dreaming!" Liu Yan eerily said.
Hearing his words, Mu Chen no longer bothered to continue speaking with him and pointed with two of his fingers. The Spiritual Energy was like a sword that exited his fingertips and, with a rustle, it had flitted across Xiao Tian's shoulder, causing the latter to let out a shriek as fresh blood splattered and his right arm was sent flying away.
"You!"
Liu Yan clenched his teeth as he looked at Mu Chen with fire spewing from his eyes. The latter was still calmly looking at Liu Yan and lifted his fingers once again.
"Stop!" Liu Yan deeply roared. Xiao Tian was the only one that had the greatest potential to become a Battle Formation Master in their Sky Profound Palace. If he was crippled by Mu Chen, then Liu Yan would not be able to explain this matter to Liu Tiandao.
Mu Chen coldly looked at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan clenched his teeth and then raised his hand. Instantly, the experts of the Sky Profound Palace who were in the intense battle stopped and had retreated. When the Sky Profound Palace's party retreated, the pressure that the Kings were greatly suffering from decreased and their counterattacks had caused the experts of the Divine Pavilion to be caught a little unprepared.
"Liu Yan, you!" Fang Yi's face had changed upon watching this scene.
"I don't want to lose a Battle Will genius and an elite troop without any benefits!" Liu Yan clenched his teeth.
"Do you think that he will let them go so easily? Mu Chen is as sly as a fox. You're only under his control to follow his wishes." Fang Yi solemnly said.
"Haha. Fang Yi, you're sly as well. You're provoking the Sky Profound Palace to suffer great losses together with us so that you can benefit from our fight, right?" Mu Chen faintly said.
Liu Yan's gaze flickered.
"Liu Yan, don't listen to his words that are trying to drive a wedge between us. The Great Havenlaw Domain already can't hold on any longer. As long as we press them even harder, we'll be able to annihilate the Kings of the Great Havenlaw Domain. At that time, even if they have five troops, they'll still in our hands to deal with!" Fang Yi's heart jumped when he saw the flickers in Liu Yan's gaze and immediately said.
"It's just that your Divine Pavilion might be the ones laughing in the end!" Mu Chen added, causing the corner of Fang Yi's eyes to twitch and his eerie gaze looked like he wanted to tear Mu Chen's into pieces.
Liu Yan deeply inhaled and gave a dark look."Fine. Mu Chen, as long as you release them, my Sky Profound Palace will not take part in this. But I have to warn you that if you dare to fool me, my Sky Profound Palace will definitely not let you off!"
Mu Chen smiled."Young Palace Master Liu truly values relationships. You will definitely become a good Palace Master in the future. I will release them, but I hope that you can still wait awhile. Wait till we deal with the troublesome matters here, I will definitely return your people to you."
Mu Chen was definitely not foolish enough to hand over the people at this moment. If he lost the hostages, Liu Yan would probably come back to bite him. After all, Mu Chen's threat had already wanted to anger him to death.
Liu Yan coldly looked at Mu Chen, disregarding Fang Yi's attempts to convince him, and had quickly waved his hand, gathering the forces of the Sky Profound Palace to watch from afar.
Along with Sky Profound Palace's forces separating from the battle, the hectic battle immediately changed and the Divine Pavilion's forces, which previously had the upper hand, was instantly suppressed by the Kings.
After all, in terms of formations, the Great Havenlaw Domain still held the advantage. Losing the help of Zhantai Liuli, the Divine Pavilion's strength had greatly decreased.
Not to mention that the Great Havenlaw Domain still had Mu Chen, who had just defeated Xiao Tian. His five troops still eyed them like tigers.
Fang Yi's face was frighteningly ashened at this scene and Zhantai Liuli's lips slightly rose into a mocking arc behind him.
But Fang Yi's face wasn't ashened for too long. He had suddenly squinted his eyes. That's because he realised that Mu Chen was starting to look at him with a gaze of a smile-yet-not-a-smile expression.
His gaze had instantly made Fang Yi's face turn unsightly and he felt bitter. Clearly, he was Mu Chen's next target.
Right now, the experts of the Divine Pavilion had all been held up by the Kings of the Great Havenlaw Domain, and he only had Zhantai Liuli beside him, who was greatly injured. So it was clearly a fantasy for him to defeat Mu Chen, who controlled five troops, with just him alone...
This time, he had lifted a stone and smashed himself into a difficult situation.
