Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
"I just need a blink of an eye to defeat you!"
As Mu Chen finished speaking, he moved rapidly and appeared on a Dragon-Phoenix Platform, his dark eyes glaring sharply at Liu Yan.
"What boastful claims!"
Liu Yan smiled in rage, he didn't think Mu Chen would be so audacious, to dare claim that he could defeat him the blink of an eye! Did he not know that it was only out of sheer luck that his first fight with Liu Yan had managed to result in a standstill?
"This time, you are dead meat!"
Liu Yan smiled chillingly. His figure flashed, then appeared on the Dragon-Phoenix Platform, where Mu Chen was waiting. Liu Yan's eyes stared like daggers at Mu Chen, the murderous intent in his gaze shockingly intense. It was clear that this was his best opportunity to kill Mu Chen, as the mysterious girl was currently suppressed by both Fang Yi and the Prince of Netherworld, leaving her unable to help Mu Chen at all.
Boom!
The vast and majestic spiritual energy instantly burst out from Liu Yan's body. The crimson red spiritual energy rolled in turbulent waves behind him, while the temperature of the whole world rose rapidly.
"Myriad Flame Celestial Body!"
Liu Yan immediately conjured up seals with both hands, causing a vast spiritual energy to surge. Then, a massive crimson red silhouette suddenly appeared on the Dragon-Phoenix Platform. He had actually summoned a Sovereign Celestial Body!
After his first intense battle with Mu Chen in the past, Liu Yan no longer dared to underestimate him. Liu Yan knew that, should he be defeated unexpectedly this time around, he would be utterly humiliated.
Upon witnessing this scene, many powerful characters clucked their tongues. Although Liu Yan had expressed his disdain for Mu Chen, he did not dare belittle or underestimate him.
"Leave your life here and die!"
Liu Yan's figure appeared directly above the head of the Myriad Flame Celestial Body. With a roar, he dealt brutal blows with his palms, as the crimson red palm blows from the massive Myriad Flame Celestial Body transformed into a huge Flaming Palm, before charging down harshly on the arena where Mu Chen was.
Tumultuous heat waves spread, and the air between the heavens and earth seemed to be burning up. There was no doubt that Liu Yan was strong. Otherwise, he would not have been able to occupy the fourth place in the Dragon-Phoenix Record. Also, now that he was fighting with all his might, even a Fourth Grade Sovereign would avoid facing him!
However, in the face of Liu Yan's anger, Mu Chen did not show any sign of retreat. As he looked up at the huge Flaming Palms that were threatening to engulf him, his right hand clenched slowly, causing a dark golden light to seep through his skin. Upon closer inspection, these were dense, dark golden scales that had just emerged on his arm!
Then, a force that was powerful enough to shatter a mountain gushed madly within him. It was the power of the Dragon-Phoenix Body!
Boom!
When the golden light surged, Mu Chen dealt a blow with his palm directly. As if it had a golden sun rising from its palm, it clashed brutally with the huge Flaming Palm.
Crash!
The shock waves, which were visible to the naked eye, were raging! Mu Chen's feet plunged onto the ground. Watching the scene, everyone's pupils had shrank slightly, for they saw that Mu Chen had just blocked the force of Liu Yan's huge Flaming Palms with one hand, preventing its landing on him.
"Get out!"
Mu Chen sneered coldly. After cultivating the Dragon-Phoenix Body, his combat power had increased sharply since even the previous day. At the very least, Mu Chen knew now that it was impossible for Liu Yan to defeat him with such attacks.
Boom!
With a burst of golden light, the huge Flaming Palms were shaken, causing its retreat. Mu Chen's palms flushed red, emitting a terrifyingly high temperature. Clearly, if his physique had not become much stronger with the Dragon-Phoenix Body, he would not have dared to clash head-on with Liu Yan's Sovereign Celestial Body.
Woaha...
An uproar erupted, as countless strong men were astonished by the scene. The fact that Mu Chen's fist had managed to cause Liu Yan's Sovereign Celestial Body to retreat was utterly shocking!
"He had his ways indeed." Su Biyue, Snapper, and Ding Xuan were solemn, realizing that this young man named Mu Chen was not simple at all! It was no wonder that he had dared to state such bold claims!
In the other part of the sky, three figures stood still like rocks. However, their breaths seemed to be locked together, as whoever made the first move would attract a thunderstorm barrage of attacks upon the entire tro.
These three figures naturally were Cai Xiao, Fang Yi, and the Prince of Netherworld.
The three figures stood still, and even their breathing became extremely subtle. Their attentions were clearly focused on the clash between Mu Chen and Liu Yan.
Just as Fang Yi and the Prince of Netherworld saw Mu Chen defeating Liu Yan's Sovereign Celestial Body with one blow, their gazes flickered. Cai Xiao smirked, satisfied with Mu Chen's performance.
Under the gaze of countless eyes between the heaven and the earth, Liu Yan stood on the head of the Myriad Flame Celestial Body. His face was cold and his hands were clenched. He watched as Mu Chen slowly pulled his feet out, after having plunged them into the ground. Naturally, he was aware that Mu Chen was stronger now than he had been a day earlier.
"Did you think I wouldn't meet with an opportunity this day?!"
Liu Yan's gaze was chilling, as he conjured up seals with both hands, swift as lightning. Simultaneously, the Myriad Flame Celestial Body did the same, releasing a surge of countless crimson red ribbons that then transformed into a massive tripod furnace.
Upon seeing the tripod furnace, Mu Chen's eyes narrowed. It was clearly apparent that Mu Chen was no stranger to it, as this was the exact thing that had injured him in the last battle!
"Smelting Furnace Myriad Fire, Heaven Incinerating Feather!"
As Mu Chen had expected, along with Liu Yan's roar, flames of different colors now surged within the huge tripod furnace. They then condensed into a resplendent colored feather, from which, a destructive fluctuation emanated.
"Still the same old tricks, eh?" Mu Chen sneered in disdain.
Liu Yan's eyes swept coldly across Mu Chen, and the corner of his mouth was raised in a cruel smile. The smirk was mocking, but he did not say more, as his seals then changed abruptly.
Whoosh!
The colorful feather that was burning with flames then burst forth from the tripod furnace. Surprisingly, even though it contained intensely violent power, the feather did not attack Mu Chen directly, but shot towards Liu Yan instead!
As the colorful feather charged towards him, Liu Yan opened his mouth to swallow it, knowing that it possessed overwhelming power. Everyone present could only stare at the scene, completely dumbfounded. Even Mu Chen couldn't help but to be startled.
Boom!
As he swallowed the feather, Liu Yan's body instantly turned crimson red. Hs eyes became scarlet and his skin began to dry, as if all of his moisture and blood were burning into nothingness simultaneously.
Crack.
A slight crack spread out on his skin, which was soon followed by even more cracks, making him look like a broken porcelain figurine. This haunting sight induced a chilling fear in the hearts of everyone present.
"Liu Yan has gone insane! He actually dared to swallow this sheer magnitude of destructive power into his own body! Isn't he afraid that his body will explode into pieces?" Many strong men murmured such things, clearly aware of the dangers of Liu Yan's recent actions.
However, Su Biyue, Snapper, and the others only silently pondered over the scene's recent happenings.
"Haha, underestimating such an opponent, who can rank fourth on the Dragon-Phoenix Record, is never a wise thing to do!" Fang Yi smiled faintly.
Cai Xiao glanced coldly at him, her face turning solemn. Clearly, she had realized how powerful Liu Yan's move was.
Buzz!
Amid countless gazes, Liu Yan clasped his hands together, changing his seals. Golden light immediately emanated from his body. Also, vaguely, a dragon's roar could be heard.
Then, golden light surged, before transforming into dragon symbols and circling on the surface of Liu Yan's body. As the symbols flowed along it, Liu Yan's body turned from a scarlet red to a bright golden. The cracks on his body also healed, having been repaired gradually.
"That's…the Pseudodragon body!"
"So that's it! He sought to employ the protection from the Pseudodragon body to counter the raging force in the colorful feather! So, he could then drive it and protect the body from breaking!"
"There are at least 70 dragon symbols, meaning that the Dragon-Phoenix Blood Essence that Liu Yan obtained is rather pure!"
"Mu Chen is going to be done for then!"
Liu Yan's body became as if it was crafted entirely by gold. As it did so, the danger of his body exploding vanished entirely, causing a realization to dawn on many strong men present. Liu Yan had this extreme and intense method of self-preservation, thus, he must be insane!
Mu Chen glanced at the golden figure in the sky, his gaze turning somber. Liu Yan was no pushover, especially when he had such methods.
In the sky, Liu Yan stood tall and proud. As he loomed over Mu Chen, the murderous intent in his eyes was obvious to all, as was the maliciousness of his smile.
"As I said before, the only reason you could escape my clutches before was merely due to sheer luck! But, now, even your best luck would be like powerless little ants in the face of my absolute strength!"
Liu Yan's eyes were ferocious. As he crooked his fingers, clusters of different colors condensed at his fingertips, before finally turning into a pure gold flame. And, in that flame, the roar of dragons reverberated.
A terrifying fluctuation then suddenly caused the space around Liu Yan to shake violently. The expressions of Su Biyue, Snapper, Ding Xuan and the others twisted when they felt the extreme fluctuations.
"Myriad Flame Divine Technique, Heavenly Dragon Flaming Finger!"
When Liu Yan's chilling voice rumbled in the air, a bright golden flame pillar burst out suddenly from his two fingers. The beam of light that it emitted then twisted, as if a heavenly dragon that was burning with golden flames had just roared past the sky, causing the space to disintegrate inch by inch.
With Liu Yan exerting his full power with this finger, heaven and earth started to fragment and shatter, as if they were unable to withstand the onslaught!
Countless people widened their eyes! They also gasped in pity, as such an attack was fierce indeed...
Mu Chen would surely die, without a doubt!
