Chapter 44

Buzz!

Just as the blurry light tower faintly appeared within Mu Chen's body, a peculiar fluctuation suddenly swept out from within him.

That fluctuation wasn't particularly powerful, but when it reached Ji Zong, the latter's body trembled slightly, and his eyes showed a momentary daze.

Hmph.

However, this daze only lasted for an instant, and Ji Zong quickly recovered with a cold snort. This Mu Chen was indeed different from ordinary youths. No wonder the Liu Domain wanted to invite him to take action. But no matter how he struggled, the vast gap between the two of them could not be easily bridged!

Whoosh!

Ji Zong's arm trembled, and the rainwater-formed longsword instantly grew larger. Amidst the violent surge of spiritual energy, it directly forced the two Senro Death Seals apart and then stabbed toward Mu Chen's shoulder with the speed of lightning.

Ding!

Ji Zong's attack was extremely fierce, piercing through the gap between the two Senro Death Seals, leaving Mu Chen no time to defend. The rainwater longsword stabbed into Mu Chen's shoulder. However, at the moment of contact, the blurry light tower within Mu Chen's body seemed to vibrate. The rainwater longsword paused for a moment before the tip finally pierced into Mu Chen's shoulder, blood seeping out.

"Swish!"

Ji Zong looked at this scene and smiled faintly, seemingly believing that the situation was already decided. He glanced at the youth before him and saw that under the drizzle, a pair of pitch-black eyes, like deep black holes, stared at him, giving him a sudden sense of danger.

Swish!

The youth before him paid no attention to the longsword piercing his shoulder, and even the pain did not make his eyebrows twitch. His palms trembled, and a cold light flew out diagonally, finally slicing across the handle of the flower umbrella in Ji Zong's left hand as the latter looked on in shock.

The flower umbrella fell helplessly, splashing some raindrops. Ji Zong stared at this scene in a daze, then watched the youth who had suddenly retreated, with blood still flowing from his shoulder.

"You actually figured it out..."

Ji Zong's mouth moved, and his expression became much more serious. The youth before him had seen through the flaw in his formation and not only that, but he also had the courage to use his own body as bait, exposing a gap in his defense at the moment of attack. He seized this instant gap and struck without hesitation, cutting off the flower umbrella in Ji Zong's hand, and at the same time... severing the connection between him and the formation.

"You lost."

Mu Chen grinned at Ji Zong.

As his laughter faded, the spring rain that had been falling stopped, and the surrounding air seemed to shimmer with light. Then, Mu Chen began to hear faint human voices in his ears.

It was still the same street, but there were no rain marks on the ground, and even sunlight was shining from the sky. In the distance, some figures appeared.

Clearly, the "Mystic God Formation" that had enveloped him was now broken.

Mu Chen stared ahead, where Ji Zong was looking at him with a serious expression. After a moment, he smiled and said, "You're a formidable youth. I didn't expect Mu Feng to have such an excellent son."

Mu Chen also smiled, but his eyes were filled with caution and vigilance. "Do you plan to make another move next?"

"The formation is broken, I can't kill you now. What happens next is none of my business, but you should be careful." Ji Zong smiled faintly, then gave Mu Chen a deep look, as if with some deeper meaning, before turning and slowly walking away.

Mu Chen watched Ji Zong as he walked away, his brows still tightly furrowed. The sense of danger had not completely dissipated, clearly indicating that the Liu Domain was determined not to let him return to the Mu Domain smoothly.

"This Ji Zong is really useless!"

While Mu Chen was vigilantly scanning his surroundings, two icy gazes pierced through a gap, looking at the youth in the distance.

"Uncle Three, what do we do next?" Beside the middle-aged man, a handsome youth frowned and asked. The familiar face was none other than Liu Mu Bai, and the middle-aged man was Liu Ming.

"Hmph, it's good that I didn't really trust Ji Zong. I just wanted him to take the lead and test the waters. If he could solve it, that would be best, but if not, we will take action ourselves!"

Liu Ming snorted coldly and said, "No matter what, we cannot let Mu Chen bring that thing back to the Mu Domain. Otherwise, our Liu Domain's long-prepared plan will be disrupted!"

"But if we act now, it might attract the attention of the Northern Spirit Academy." Liu Mu Bai said softly.

"Then we'll deal with him quickly."

A cold light flashed in Liu Ming's eyes, and he waved his hand. Ten figures darted out from behind him, all exuding a fierce aura, and their spiritual energy fluctuations indicated that they had all reached the initial stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm!

"Attack!"

"Yes!"

The ten figures responded in low voices, their figures flashing as they disappeared into the darkness.

On the street, Mu Chen, who was vigilantly watching his surroundings, suddenly focused his gaze and looked ahead. He saw ten figures suddenly dart out and form a ring to surround him.

"Ten experts at the initial stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm."

Seeing those ten figures, Mu Chen's heart sank. The Liu Domain's intent to kill him was quite strong. Although they didn't dare to act personally in the Northern Spirit City, they still prepared a series of traps for him.

"I can't fight them; I must escape!"

Mu Chen's thoughts raced, and he quickly retreated. No matter how arrogant he was, he couldn't possibly think that he could fight ten seasoned experts at the initial stage of the Spirit Wheel Realm alone.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

However, the ten figures were already rushing toward him, their spiritual energy suddenly bursting out, and the air was filled with killing intent. The commotion caused by this disturbance was already being noticed in the distance.

"Damn it!"

Seeing these guys move so quickly, Mu Chen cursed inwardly. He gritted his teeth, and spiritual energy surged rapidly within him. Dark light flashed from his arms, clearly preparing to fight to the death. He needed to buy some time.

Whoosh!

The ten figures quickly approached, their coordination was extremely默契 (flawless). As they scattered, they formed a包围圈 (surrounding circle), completely blocking Mu Chen's path forward and backward. Ten sharp longswords aimed at Mu Chen's vital points.

Mu Chen's gaze was fixed on the incoming attack, and the dark light on his arms grew more intense. Just as he was about to take a step and strike first, a sudden roar, like a thunderclap, echoed: "Who are you, daring to attack the young master of the Mu Domain? You're courting death!"

As the thunderous voice echoed, a figure darted forward like lightning and landed in front of Mu Chen with a loud thud. His sleeves waved, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy, like a river, rolled out, instantly sending the ten figures flying back, clearly injured.

"Uncle Zhou!"

Seeing the familiar figure before him, Mu Chen's face lit up with joy. Finally, he had arrived.

The lean middle-aged man in front of Mu Chen was Zhou Ye, from the Mu Domain. His eyes, sharp like an eagle's, stared at the ten figures who had been thrown back, but he did not pursue them. Instead, he stayed by Mu Chen's side, protecting him.

"Kill them!"

Zhou Ye glared coldly at the ten figures and gave a cold command. Immediately, a chorus of responses echoed from a distance, and dozens of figures quickly rushed over, heading straight for the ten figures.

Seeing this, the ten figures gritted their teeth and waved their sleeves, causing smoke to rise. They quickly retreated under the cover of the smoke.

"Damn it!"

In a certain part of the street, Liu Ming, seeing Zhou Ye suddenly arrive with his group, was so angry that he nearly exploded. His face turned ashen. He didn't expect that at this critical moment, Zhou Ye would ruin everything!

"Uncle Three?" Liu Mu Bai frowned, not expecting that their consecutive plans would go awry.

"Return to the Liu Domain and tell your father about this. I want to see how much courage Mu Feng has to interfere with our Liu Domain's plans!"

Liu Ming said with a sinister tone, then waved his hand and turned to leave.

Liu Mu Bai could only sigh helplessly, his eyes glancing through the gap at Mu Chen, who was now protected by the Mu Domain's forces. A cold light flashed in his eyes. Lucky brat, you got lucky this time, but next time, you won't have such an opportunity again!
