The Great Ruler - Chapter 970

Chapter 970

Dust was all around the square . Everything was a mess . Outside of the square, the spectators kept unusually quiet . They were staring at the square in bewilderment . They could not believe their eyes .

They never expected that Mu Chen had a secret move up his sleeve . Jiang Ya was, instead, defeated the moment he entered the battle .

And it had only taken less than a minute!

The Nine Netherbird clan members looked at one another as their expressions turned solemn . They all knew that anyone would be a moron if they continued to look down on Mu Chen, thinking that he was just a human being .

The strokes he used on Qin Xuan and the deadly moves he used on Jiang Ya gave them all chills .

The elders turned quiet as they sat in their seats . Even the green-robed elder, who was unhappy with Mu Chen, had a mixed expression on his face . He could no longer say anything against him .

Phew .

Nine Nether quietly let out a sigh of relief . She felt consoled, as she could tell that Mu Chen had been well-prepared before he came to the Nine Netherbird clan . At least he managed to activate two arrays, which she had never seen before .

Moreover, Mu Chen had another breakthrough in his strength . He had finally reached Grade Six Sovereign . This had significantly increased his combat strength .

She looked at the slender and young-looking figure in the square . Nine Nether's feelings were complicated . The young man had grown up unknowingly under her control . Now he had grown into a man who was on par with her .

Maybe it would not take too long for this young man to surpass her .

Nine Nether peeked at her father when she thought of this . But her father was watching the square calmly . He seemed peaceful . However, based on Nine Nether's understanding of her father, she could sense that Tianhuang Elder was looking deep with his eyes .

Mu Chen did well in this battle . Hence, even Tianhuang Elder, who was known to be strict, was also stunned and could not be picky about Mu Chen .

All eyes were on the square while Mu Chen stood on top of the Great Solar Undying Body . He looked at Jiang Ya, who was already out of the battle . His face was also filled with surprise .

He was surprised that the Lotus Spiritual Sword Array was more powerful than he thought . It was an Earth Grade High Ranked Spiritual Array, so it was quite threatening to a Grade Six Sovereign . However, Jiang Ya was reaching Grade Seven Sovereign . He should be more powerful than those top powers who had only the strength of a Grade Six Sovereign . Mu Chen had not been very sure he could beat Jiang Ya previously . But now, it seemed that the effect was extremely good .

The only downside of this array was it was time-consuming . However, the power it displayed was tyrannical . If an Earth Grade Spiritual Array could show such force, Mu Chen wondered what a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array would be like .

He imagined that even a Grade Seven Sovereign top power would suffer a huge loss under the overbearing power of the Heavenly Grade Spiritual Array .

Mu Chen stopped all his thoughts at this point . He turned around and swept his calm gaze at Qin Xuan across the square .

Qin Xuan had broken off most of the light rainbow chains . The Nine Nether Frosty Sparrow had almost broken free from captivity, too . The Tianluo Array was not strong in its offense . Its primary function was to bind and trap . However, it could not trap Qin Xuan for too long since he was almost a Grade Seven Sovereign, while the Tianluo Array was only an Earth Grade High Ranked Spiritual Array .

However, in a confrontation where only strong opponents were present, Qin Xuan would have been killed hundreds of times during this period .

Qin Xuan sensed Mu Chen's gaze, and he could not help but shiver . Even though Mu Chen seemed to be calm, Qin Xuan still felt wary of him .

"We are the only ones left . "

Mu Chen gave a smile to Qin Xuan while standing on top of the Great Solar Undying Body . He stomped his feet . The body exploded with radiant golden rays once again . Five scorching suns burst out from its body . Golden rays started to gather in the Great Solar Undying Body's palms and transformed into a 1,000-foot-long golden spear .

The spear was slowly lifted up and aimed straight at Qin Xuan . Daunting oppression emanated from it .

Qin Xuan's expression hardened .

"My apologies . "

Mu Chen laughed, and he did not give Qin Xuan any chance to break off his chains . He grabbed the last opportunity to launch a full-force attack so that he could end this battle completely .

Boom!

Mu Chen had just finished his sentence, and the golden lights swept out from his Sovereign Celestial Body . They approached Qin Xuan rapidly . The golden spear struck out forcefully .

As the golden light rippled, space burst into cracks under the spear's attack . The ground seemed to have been dug up in the square, and there were tracks in the soil .

Qin Xuan watched as the golden light approached him . He gritted his teeth and stomped his feet . The Nine Nether Frosty Sparrow let out a loud cry and spat out a dark blue cold breath .

Qin Xuan also spat out a mouthful of blood . A spiritual light flickered in the blood and swiftly merged with the cold breath . The surroundings immediately turned cold . Dark blue light exploded in front of Qin Xuan and transformed into a dark blue tortoiseshell . On the shell, ancient ice runes appeared .

"Black Tortoise Shield!"

Boom!

As the dark blue ice tortoiseshell was formed, the golden spear had already struck the tortoiseshell with destructive force .

Bang!

An indescribable impact wave burst out, and the ground below cracked into lines . A sun rose slowly at the intersection of the spear and the tortoiseshell .

As the sun rose, cracks started to appear on the spear in the celestial body's hands . The cracks spread until finally, the spear could no longer resist the impact and burst into pieces .

But when the spear burst, the dark blue ice tortoiseshell also fell apart .

As the spear and the tortoiseshell crumbled together into pieces, Mu Chen had a sharp radiance in his eyes . The next moment, he turned into a light beam and darted out into the shockwave .

As Mu Chen charged, the chains on Qin Xuan also were broken into pieces by the shockwave . Without any hesitation, he staggered back . At the same time, the huge icy bow reappeared in his hands .

He pulled the bow immediately in one swift action . It was so fast, that before the wave disappeared, a huge snowflake arrow with blood staining it was ready to fire . It was exuding an icy cold pressure that could freeze the space .

Qin Xuan was ready to fire his arrows, but before he could release them, his eyes narrowed . The space in front of him rippled, and a long slender finger with spiritual light flickering on it appeared in front of him . The finger gently touched his forehead .

The fingers pulling the bow froze .

Mu Chen showed up in front of Qin Xuan with his finger pointing in between Qin Xuan's brows . He was looking at Qin Xuan calmly and quietly . He did not seem to mind the snowflake arrow in front of him .

Qin Xuan also fixed his gaze on Mu Chen . They looked at each other . Qin Xuan shivered, as he knew that Mu Chen would burst his head the moment he released his arrow .

Mu Chen did not hesitate .

The spectators held their breaths as they watched the breathtaking fight outside the square . They had not expected that the battle would turn out to be so dangerous .

They kept still for less than a minute, and Qin Xuan could no longer take the stress . He let out a helpless sigh . The arrow on the bow slowly disappeared .

Qin Xuan stared at Mu Chen and said bitterly, "You win . " He knew that although this confrontation seemed to be a draw, Mu Chen could have killed him in a single blow the moment he released his arrow .

If this had been a life-and-death match, Mu Chen could have just killed him without any hesitation .

A smile showed up on Mu Chen's calm face upon hearing his words . He took back his finger slowly and cupped his fist at Qin Xuan . "Thank you . "

His gentle voice and the smile on his handsome face seemed to be harmless, but Qin Xuan, who had just gone through the match, knew him very well . Mu Chen was a decisive and ruthless man behind that harmless smile .

This human being who had a blood tie with Nine Nether was not as weak and useless as they had previously thought . He possessed moves that were far beyond what anyone could imagine .

Moreover, Qin Xuan had a hunch . He believed that Mu Chen must have had more secret moves up his sleeves in the previous confrontation . He felt a chill in his spine . What would happen if Mu Chen showed all his cards?

He was not an ordinary man .

Qin Xuan secretly let out a sigh of admiration . As proud as he was, he had no choice but to make good comments about Mu Chen .

Mu Chen took two steps back while Qin Xuan was still admiring him in his heart . While the rest were still in shock, Mu Chen looked at the head of the clan and smiled at him .

"Tianhuang Elder, I shall gladly accept the last vacancy, then . "
