The Great Ruler

Chapter 1007 - Sneak Attack

Boom!

The ground trembled and Zong Teng's silhouette suddenly burst forth like an arrow, shooting towards Mu Chen, who was before the stone tablet. As boundless Spiritual Energy surged, his killing intent swept out.

Zong Teng's sudden movements had instantly caused countless commotions to resound outside the Body Refining Pagoda with Nine Nether and Mo Ling's faces instantly changing. Even if they weren't present, they could still tell that Mu Chen was practically exhausted at this moment. The current him was probably in the weakest state that he had ever been.

If Zong Teng wanted to kill Mu Chen at this moment, then he would undoubtedly be a great threat.

"Zong Teng!"

Nine Nether gritted her teeth as the chill in her eyes practically poured out like a substance.

But despite being enraged, Nine Nether wasn't too panicked. That's because Mu Chen wasn't alone on the fourth level. As his companion, despite Mo Feng having a cold character, he would definitely not let Zong Teng harm Mu Chen.

As Nine Nether had expected, when Zong Teng made his move, Mo Feng's eyes turned dark and in a flash, he had already appeared before Zong Teng. A powerful Spiritual Energy exploded as he looked at Zong Teng with cold eyes.

"Get back. If you take another step forth, then don't blame me for making my move!" Mo Feng's voice was cold with eyes like blades, staring at Zong Teng.

Zong Teng's face was dark and he coldly said, "Mo Feng, Mu Chen is not one of your Nine Netherbird Clan, but merely a human. You sure you want to take our Sky Roc Clan as an enemy just because of him?"

When Mo Feng heard his words, his face revealed a ridiculing expression and he couldn't be bothered to reply. Only his gaze, which was looking at Zong Teng grew sharper, and the atmosphere made the latter know that if he took another step, then Mo Feng would immediately make his move.

When Zong Teng saw that Mo Feng was not going to let him pass, killing intent surged in his eyes, before he quickly turned his gaze towards Han Shan, who was coldly looking from the side. "Brother Han, you should be the top person in this physical body test. But right now, a human has come to seize the opportunity that belonged to us Divine Beasts. Can you take this lying down?"

When Mo Feng heard Zong Teng's provoking words, his face had instantly turned dark. If it was Zong Teng alone, he should still be able to obstruct him. But if Han Shan joined in, then even he might not be able to help Mu Chen.

When Han Shan heard Zong Teng's words, he was stunned, before he contracted his eyes. "This is your grudge, why are you pulling me into it as well?"

"Could it be that Brother Han is not interested in the essence of Sky-Devouring Divine Beast of this quality? If you're able to absorb it, you will practically be invincible amongst the Seventh Grade Sovereigns. Even if you encounter the peak geniuses of the Dragon and Phoenix Clans, you would no longer have to fear them," said Zong Teng.

Han Shan's eyes flashed as he looked at the fresh red essence that Mu Chen was absorbing with greed flickering in his eyes. He could naturally tell how shocking the essence that Mu Chen had obtained was.

It had practically surpassed what he had previously obtained.

If he could absorb it, what Zong Teng said might not be false.

Thinking about it, Han Shan's face uncontrollably changed. He seemed to have been slightly moved by the thought. Seeing his response, even Mo Feng's heart had involuntarily turned solemn.

Outside the Body Refining Pagoda, Nine Nether had squinted her eyes while looking at the screen. Although she couldn't hear any voices, she still roughly guessed what Zong Teng was intending to do based on Han Shan's response. Immediately, her face turned colder and traces of a chill spread out from her body. She was extremely angered in her heart.

If Han Shan made a move against Mu Chen at this moment, he would definitely be an enormous threat to him.

"That Zong Teng deserves to die!"

Nine Nether gnashed her silver teeth with her face filled with killing intent.

Standing beside her, Mo Ling's face flashed with worry. At this moment, Mu Chen did not have any fighting strength and just based on her Big Brother alone, he might not be able to block the joint attacks of Zong Teng and Han Shan.

At this moment, the experts of the other clans had also sensed the changes in the fourth level. Immediately, a commotion resounded and some people felt pity for Mu Chen's encounter. Could it be that a dark horse would be killed just when he was ascending the peak?

Not far away, Lu Sui, who was recovering himself and protected by several experts of the Thunder Crow Clan, had opened his eyes as he looked at the screen. Immediately, he coldly sneered. "Mu Chen, I'll see how are you going to maintain your pride!"

All the rewards that Mu Chen had bitterly fought for would soon be the wedding dress of others!

Outside the Body Refining Pagoda, countless gazes of pity and joy were directed at the screen.

Under those gazes, Han Shan's gaze flickered on the fourth level, but he didn't seem to be able to make a decision.

"Brother Han, you can't drag the time any longer. Otherwise, you will not have a share in the essence of the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast." Seeing Han Shan shaken by his words and still showing no signs of making a move, Zong Teng couldn't help provoking him even further.

If he allowed Mu Chen to recover and join forces with Mo Feng, even Han Shan might not be able to do a thing to them.

Hearing Zong Teng's urging, Han Shan furrowed his brows as he looked at Mu Chen, who was still quietly standing before the stone tablet as fresh blood essence enveloped him, emitting a sense of mystery.

Han Shan had experienced countless slaughters all these years in his bitter cultivation. However, his instincts told him that this time, he had sensed an abnormal aura coming from that young human.

That was a feeling of danger that was extremely suppressed.

The feeling made him understand that if he chose to make a move today, then he must definitely kill Mu Chen. Otherwise, if Mu Chen was allowed to escape, then he wouldn't have peace in the future.

To offend such a dangerous enemy for the essence of the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast, was it worth it?

Han Shan's eyes swiftly flickered and the plaza became extremely quiet at this moment. Both Zong Teng and Mo Feng had tensed their hearts, since they knew that Han Shan's decision would change the current situation.

The suppressed silence had lasted for ten-odd breaths and was broken by Han Shan's long breath. He slowly raised his head, then looked at Zong Teng and Mo Feng with a smile, before shaking his head. "Although the essence of the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast is rare, I, Han Shan, do not have the fortune to enjoy it. Therefore, I appreciate your thoughts."

Although greed had urged Han Shan to sense the essence of the Sky-Devouring Divine Beast, his instincts had won the final battle. Therefore, he had finally decided not to take any action.

At this moment, Zong Teng's face had instantly turned pale.

When Mo Feng heard Han Shan's words, he felt heavily relieved and his cool face became much more gentle as he nodded his head towards Han Shan, expressing his gratitude.

"Since Brother Han is not interested in this, then I can only let it go. Brother Mo, sorry for offending you this time." After Zong Teng's face turned pale for a moment, it recovered as he retreated.

Sensing Zong Teng withdrawing his aura, Mo Feng's heart had uncontrollably relaxed.

Boom!

However, in that instant when Mo Feng relaxed, killing intent instantly exploded from Zong Teng's eyes and he suddenly shot forth, turning into numerous afterimages.

"Zong Teng, you dare?!"

Rage flashed in Mo Feng's eyes as he took a step forth. His silhouette had turned into afterimages as he threw a fist out. Instantly, a phoenix cried out and scarlet flames swept out with boundless Spiritual Energy, shattering those afterimages with a single punch.

As the afterimages shattered, a person was forced out and Zong Teng returned with a palm. As a golden lustre surged, it was extremely sharp, like a myriad of blades charging out that wanted to tear the heavens and earth apart.

Boom!

The fist and palm flashed and the Spiritual Energy instantly swept out, causing space to fluctuate as the two silhouettes froze before Zong Teng's silhouette was shattered by that fist, turning into golden light.

Mo Feng, who had thrown a fist to shatter Zong Teng, had suddenly contracted his eyes because he saw a golden light piercing through space in an extremely abnormal manner as it shuttled before him and appeared in another location.

"Divine Ability of the Gold Winged Roc - Spatial Movement?!"

Mo Feng's face had turned solemn as he threw another fist forth without any hesitation. A horrifying surge of a fist's gale caused cracks in space and had immediately appeared behind the golden light.

Whoosh!

However, the golden light had completely disregarded Mo Feng's attack and a sharp light shot forth, piercing through space towards Mu Chen.

The piercing light was a dark-golden feather. It was like an absolute divine sword with a tyrannical aura dominating from it.

That was a feather from the Super Divine Beast, the Gold Winged Roc and through the refinement of the Sky Roc Clan, the sharpness of it was comparable to a Peerless Rank Divine Artifact that even ordinary Seventh Grade Sovereigns would be pierced through by it.

Zong Teng's intention was extremely clear. Even if he had to risk being injured by Mo Feng, he still had to kill Mu Chen here, no matter what.

The feather pierced through space and Mo Feng's face became extremely unsightly. That's because he could hold up Zong Teng, but he couldn't stop the feather that was flying towards Mu Chen.

With Mu Chen's current state, he might be immediately killed by that feather.

The mistake made Mo Feng extremely enraged in his heart. The rage and killing intent were surging in his heart. It looked like, no matter what, today, he definitely cannot let that fellow Zong Teng off.

Buzz!

But no matter how enraged was he, he couldn't change the direction of the feather before that golden light had appeared behind Mu Chen and the face of Mo Feng had turned pale. The feather was aimed towards the back of his head in an attempt to pierce through it.

Was the dark horse going to collapse here?

Looking at this scene, countless experts sighed with pity.

A ridiculing smile appeared on Zong Teng's face. Regardless of how talented you are, today is your death!

However, the smile that had briefly appeared on his face had suddenly froze!

That's because, when the feather was about to pierce through Mu Chen's head, Mu Chen had suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed onto the feather as a purple-golden light flickered on his hand.

The feather that could pierce through the defences of a Seventh Grade Sovereign was stopped by Mu Chen's slender and white hand!

Zong Teng's expression had also slowly turned stiff.

The owner of that hand had opened his eyes with flickering golden light. He slowly turned around and looked over with an indifferent expression.
