The Great Ruler

Chapter 772 - Swift Means

When Mu Chen's voice, containing a strand of chill, resounded in this Dragon-Phoenix Haven, it instantly silenced the bustling pavilion. Shortly after, everyone started to ponder.

Some gazes faintly glanced at the indifferent figure on the upper floors. Liu Yan had a well-known fame amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, being placed fourth on the Dragon-Phoenix Record proved his status.

Even if those gathered in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion could be considered the elites amongst the younger generations of the Northern Region, it was unavoidable for them to feel fear when facing Liu Yan.

Such a person was naturally the most powerful competitor in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven, which no one dared to underestimate in the slightest. So, when they suddenly saw someone that dared to mention Liu Yan's name this way, their expressions became interesting.

Up on the upper floors, there weren't many ripples on Liu Yan's face when he heard this, he only faintly laughed with a slightly superior attitude. In this place, he was clearly not a nameless figure like Mu Chen.

If he were to be bothered with Mu Chen so easily, it would lower his status instead.

Around Liu Yan, some younger experts who had good relations with him let out low sneers and some ill gazes started to shift towards the youthful figure below.

The red-dressed girl, who was the main focus in the entire Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, had also lightly laughed out with some interest.

When every single gaze in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion was directed over, the young expert that extended his hand out to Mu Chen earlier had his face turning a little dark. He clearly did not imagine that a Third Grade Sovereign would actually ignore him.

However, he was somewhat subtle and did not flip on the spot, but took a step back and cupped his fists with a faint laughter, "I am Lu Yang of the Snow Dragon Mountains. What is your name?"

The Snow Dragon Mountains could be considered as a big force in the Northern Region, comparable to the Hundred Battles Domain and Lu Yang was the most outstanding amongst the younger generation of the Snow Dragon Mountain. He also possessed a strength that probably wasn't any weaker than Qin Bei of the Hundred Battles Domain.

Although there was quite a gap between Lu Yang and Liu Yan's strength, he had some influence in this Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion. Therefore, many people had heard of his reputation as well.

Mu Chen's back faced Lu Yang, his handsome face was a little cold. He never thought that he would encounter Liu Yan here. Furthermore, he also did not imagine that Liu Yan would be so impatient and wanted to act against him before he could even warm his seat.

But that fellow seemed to be somewhat haughty, since he did not directly act against Mu Chen himself. He probably thought that the latter did not possess that sort of qualification for him to do that. Thus, under his hint, this pack of scoundrel friends of his jumped out.

Cai Xiao sat beside Mu Chen with her hands supporting her cheeks while looking at this scene, before giving Mu Chen a light smile. "Looks like your ability to attract trouble isn't any weaker than my own. They even came looking for trouble with you right now."

There was no change in Mu Chen's expression, since he did not turn back to look at Lu Yang of the Snow Dragon Mountains. No matter what, the Great Havenlaw Domain was at least a peak force in the Northern Region. If it was at normal times, the Snow Dragon Mountains wouldn't even dare to let out a fart. Now that this Lu Yang actually dared to be so domineering before him, he would embarrass the Great Havenlaw Domain if he were to respond to such a person.

Liu Yan was arrogant, but how would he know that the pride in the heart of this handsome and gentle youth was so much higher than his?

Reporting his name and not getting a response from Mu Chen, the corner of Lu Yang's lips uncontrollably twitched as hostility surged within his eyes. Since when did a Third Grade Sovereign dare to behave in this manner before him? Did he really think that this place was the Great Havenlaw Domain?

"Looks like this friend is dispising my Snow Dragon Mountains for not being heavyweighted enough… Haha, with the strength of the Great Havenlaw Domain, it does have such qualifications." Lu Yang smiled as a smear of ridicule flashed in his eyes as he continued, "But, did you think that you are qualified to behave this way?"

Boom!

When Lu Yang finished his last word, his eyes abruptly turned cold as boundless Spiritual Energy burst out from his body like a storm. The strength of his Spiritual Energy even caused many experts in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion to raise an eyebrow.

Lu Yang's strength was probably vaguely touching the Fourth Grade Sovereign Realm. With such a strength, even if he could not be considered as the peak amongst the younger generations, he would only be a level beneath.

Boom!

Lu Yang's face turned cold as he stomped his feet, before his figure quickly burst out. Boundless ocean-like Spiritual Energy gathered and fluctuated in his palms as he furiously pounced towards Mu Chen without the slightest leniency.

He had intended to use his strength to teach this brat from the Great Havenlaw Domain that not even the Great Havenlaw Domain could protect his laughable pride here.

In this place, no one cared where you were from. As long as your strength wasn't high enough, then you could only scram from the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion!

"Snow Dragon Palm!"

He issued a low and deep bark as a glacier-like chilled air swept out from Lu Yang's palm. A huge snow dragon flew out and enveloped the area that Mu Chen was at with snowflakes.

In the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, many gazes had slightly narrowed at this sight. This Lu Yang was truly ruthless to be executing his greatest move the instant he attacked. If one were to be hit by the icy aura of the Snow Dragon Mountains gathered in that Snow Dragon Palm, even the Spiritual Energy in the body would be frozen. Even if they expelled it, their meridians would be damaged. Having damaged meridians at this sort of time meant that this young man from the Great Havenlaw Domain could no longer participate in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven…

As the snowflakes swept over from his rear, Mu Chen's figure still remained still. However, Cai Xiao, who had been facing him, suddenly narrowed her eyes.

Because she saw that Mu Chen's black pupils were swiftly turning pitch-black. In that instant, his facial expression became indifferent, without the slightest liveliness from before.

Furthermore, if the Spiritual Energy around Mu Chen had slight signs of surging earlier, then the Spiritual Energy around him had quickly retracted at this moment.

That didn't mean that Mu Chen's Spiritual Energy had weakened, that meant that in that instant, he had perfect control over his Spiritual Energy.

Mu Chen's slender hand lifted the teacup before him and lightly took a sip as the terrifying chill swept over from his rear. There were even snowflakes on his hair.

In the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion, many experts had astonished gazes as they saw how calm Mu Chen was at that moment. Didn't he know that the fatal attack coming from his rear was about to reach him?

But judging from the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around Mu Chen, he didn't seem to have any intention of defending.

"What is that fellow doing? Is he courting death?" Someone murmured in puzzlement.

That abnormal scene instantly attracted many puzzled voices. It was so much so that there were even light exclamations coming from several figures in the dark on upper floors.

"Since you're courting death, then you can't blame me!"

Lu Yang's attack had already arrived like a bolt of lightning as he showed an eerie arc on the corner of his lips. At this distance, it was too late for Mu Chen to defend himself.

He never thought that the young expert representing the Great Havenlaw Domain would be such a fool! Looks like the Great Havenlaw Domain would be another joke this time.

Boom!

In that instant when the arc was formed on the corner of Lu Yang's lips, the space before him suddenly distorted as a soul-shaking thunderous roar pierced through his defences in a weird fashion and directly exploded from the depths of his heart.

The appearance of that thunderous roar was too abnormal and Lu Yang wasn't the slightest bit prepared. In that instant, he lost control of his Spiritual Energy. His Spiritual Energy lost control and even his conscious blanked.

Puff!

A mouthful of blood spewed from Lu Yang's mouth without any forewarning as the Snow Dragon Palm shattered into snowflakes that filled the air. Blood also flowed out from his seven apertures.

Mu Chen finally turned around and faced the snowflakes that were blowing over. With a stride of his foot, he had appeared before Lu Yang and gently placed his hand on the latter's chest.

Boom!

Boundless Spiritual Energy exploded and Lu Yang's figure was sent flying. As fresh blood violently spewed out, it left a long trace in the Dragon-Phoenix Pavilion before breaking the window and flying out of the pavilion with a bang.

The entire Dragon-Phoenix Haven was in silence at this instance.

Shocked gazes were directed at the slender figure. That scene from before was too abnormal. Mu Chen didn't seem to have done anything and yet, Lu Yang's attack had broken apart by itself and he was even bleeding from his seven apertures.

"What did he do?" Many experts were dumbfounded as their expressions gradually turned grave. To be able to defeat Lu Yang in just a single move, it was something that probably not many in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven could achieve.

Some people exchanged gazes and when they fell onto that figure the second time, there was an additional trace of fear in their eyes.

The upper floors were silent as well and Liu Yan had a dark gaze. The red-dressed girl, however, had her eyes slightly light up, before thoughtfully looking at Mu Chen. There were also several astonished gazes from the higher floors looking down.

"Interesting." Someone vaguely commented.

As the Dragon-Phoenix Haven became silent, Mu Chen's abstruse and black eyes gradually returned back to normal as he raised his head. Directing his gaze at Liu Yan with a chill, his indifferent voice resounded.

"Now, can you do it yourself?"

Cracks quietly covered the teacup in Liu Yan's hand, before shattering to dust and drifted down. He clapped his hands without any expression and slowly stood up.

As he stood up, the atmosphere in the Dragon-Phoenix Haven instantly became oppressive.

The ferocious figure who was ranked 4th in the Dragon-Phoenix Record was really going to take action himself?
