Boom!

As Ling Zhanzi’s pathetic figure rushed out from the giant crater in the ground, his incredulous gaze immediately was directed towards Mu Chen. He couldn’t imagine how Mu Chen could have generated so much spiritual energy at such a critical moment!

His gaze swept across the sky, finally stopping at the shoulders of the Immortal Golden Body. His pupils suddenly constricted.

Beneath the setting sun, three identical figures had emerged on the shoulders of the Immortal Golden Body! They were the Three Mu Chens!

“Spiritual Energy Clone?” Ling Zhanzi was stunned.

But, he soon sensed that the spiritual energy fluctuations that were emanating from the black-robed Mu Chen and the white-robed Mu Chen were no weaker than the actual Mu Chen’s. A spiritual energy clone would not be able to reach such a level of spiritual energy.

So, if it is not a spiritual energy clone, then what could it be? Even Ling Zhanzi was momentarily stumped.

Under countless shocked gazes, the white-robed Mu Chen lowered his head and smiled in Ling Zhanzi’s direction, saying, “You want to seize the Battle Seal…”

Black-robed Mu Chen laughed. “Have you asked us for permission?”

“Who are you?! External aid is not allowed here!” Ling Zhanzi said with a pale face.

Since he was unable to determine the identity of the black-robed and white-robed Mu Chens, he evidently could only treat them as external aids that Mu Chen had somehow managed to summon. It was either that, or they were his twin brothers.

Hearing Ling Zhanzi’s words, the black-robed and white-robed Mu Chens both smiled, then reached out their palms and clapped Mu Chen on the shoulder. Suddenly, the spiritual energy of the two roared out and gushed into Mu Chen’s body continuously.

With the influx of this spiritual energy, Mu Chen’s originally lifeless eyes recovered its brightness in an instant, and a gush of powerful spiritual energy fluctuation emanated gradually from his body. Mu Chen got up after experiencing the powerful spiritual energy fluctuations in his body.

Mu Chen then looked bemusedly at the horrified Ling Zhanzi and said, “It seems that you’re not the one getting the last laugh today.”

“You!” Ling Zhanzi could not believe that Mu Chen could recover his spiritual energy so quickly.

The spiritual energy cultivated by most people had its own will, so it was basically impossible for spiritual energy to be absorbed by outsiders for their own use. However, Mu Chen had absorbed the spiritual energy that had been transmitted by the two people unobstructed, thus filling himself with power!

This proved that Mu Chen, the black-robed Mu Chen, and the white-robed Mu Chen were one entity all along! It was not any suspicious external aid, but a trick that had been set by Mu Chen himself!

“But, how is this possible?” Ling Zhanzi still couldn’t believe his eyes.

This tactic of Mu Chen’s meant that he could become three entities, with the strength of each entity being exactly the same as the original one. If that was the case, his opponent would basically need to be able to handle three Mu Chens of the same strength and skill in order to win!

Thinking about this gave Ling Zhanzi a headache. If one Mu Chen was already so hard to handle, then fighting three of them seemed an impossible feat!

Ling Zhanzi took a deep breath to calm his agitated emotions. He then said calmly, “I didn’t expect for you to have this trick up your sleeve. It does look very impressive, but I wonder if it is just smoke and mirrors?”

Mu Chen’s trick was a bit scary, as Ling Zhanzi suspected that this could be a distraction by Mu Chen in order to scare the enemy away without fighting. The three Mu Chens looked at each other and smiled eerily.

Then, they all said in unison, “Then, you should check it out…”

Boom!

The minute they finished talking, the three Mu Chens simultaneously changed into three streaks of light and dashed towards Ling Zhanzi. Looking at the three men who were dashing towards him, Ling Zhanzi’s expression turned grim.

Without hesitation, his palm shot out and the spiritual energy gathered like a storm in its center. He then turned into a dragon-shaped spiritual energy, and with a roar, blasted towards the three streaks of light.

Bang!

The black and white Mu Chens simultaneously made their moves, while crystal-like spiritual energy rushed out and immediately crashed onto the dragon-shaped spiritual energy.

Boom!

As the two parties clashed, the crystal-like spiritual energy sparkled and crushed the dragon-shaped spiritual energy with just one blow.

“What?” Seeing that his attack was instantly destroyed, Ling Zhanzi was shocked.

Although Mu Chen was skilled, he was still just a Lower Earthly Sovereign. In the past, when his and Mu Chen’s spiritual energies had clashed, Mu Chen had always ended up losing. But this time, Ling Zhanzi had lost immediately!

“Da*n, how is this possible? Even working together, even if the black and white Mu Chens each had the strength of a Lower Earthly Sovereign, they could not have so easily countered my spiritual energy attack!” Ling Zhanzi could not believe this, as he was the top among the Upper Earthly Sovereigns.

Even several Lower Earthly Sovereigns would not be able to defeat Ling Zhanzi. But now, just two Mu Chens of Lower Earthly Sovereign levels were able to defeat him!

“Don’t be distracted at such a crucial time.” Just as Ling Zhanzi was about to lose his spirits, a soft voice came from behind him.

The original Mu Chen had suddenly appeared behind him without him noticing. Then, with a calm expression, he gave him a blow as he yelled, “Self-sacrificing Demonic Fist!”

That one blow unleashed an unimaginable spiritual energy, releasing an aura of death. The vibrations that it released made Ling Zhanzi numb all the way up to his skull!

But, he did not panic. Instead, he countered it with a slap of enormous power. Although his previous attack was defeated by the black and white Mu Chens, he only needed to fight with the one Mu Chen now.

Boom!

Boom!

The clash of both fists caused a violent eruption of spiritual energy. At this moment, Ling Zhanzi’s face changed. This was because he realized that Mu Chen seemed to be stronger than he was at the beginning!

A spiritual energy shock wave broke out as Mu Chen’s body shook, which caused him to take a few steps back. But, Ling Zhanzi’s reaction was worse, as he was pushed back dozens of steps, every step leaving a deep mark on the ground.

“How did your spiritual energy become so strong?” Ling Zhanzi was stunned. It seemed that the strength of Mu Chen’s blow had multiplied since his previous attack!

Mu Chen smiled softly. After the black and white Mu Chens appeared, their spiritual energies could be shared with each other. Therefore, no matter who attacked, the attack would contain the strength of all three of them.

The tacit understanding between them increased this strength even more. So, even if he fought alone with Ling Zhanzi, Mu Chen would not be inferior to him.

Boom!

However, there was no need to tell Ling Zhanzi all of this. In a flash, the three Mu Chens attacked him like fierce tigers. Their powerful spiritual energy transformed into waves of brutal attacks, which enveloped Ling Zhanzi continuously.

Faced with this brutal attack, Ling Zhanzi tried his best, but he was defeated at every step. In a moment, he fell into a sorry state. He was clearly in trouble.

Bang!

Another spiritual assault made Ling Zhanzi fall backwards pathetically. His expression changed and he cried out, “Ling Jianzi, Ling Longzi, come and assist me immediately!”

At this stage, he couldn’t care less about his dignity anymore. He could only hope that Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi would come and assist him, and that the three of them could join forces to block Mu Chen’s assaults.

In the distance, Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi blanched when they heard Ling Zhanzi’s cries. They immediately gritted their teeth and went to help him.

They knew that if Ling Zhanzi was defeated, they would not be able to stop Mu Chen, as he was too strong. However, just as they were about to make their moves, they were blocked by Su Mu and Chu Men.

“Oh, have you gotten our permission to help out?” Su Mu and Chu Men were delighted at this turn of events.

They had previously endured the frequent sneers of Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi, and now that they were in a crisis, they could finally get their revenge. Without saying a word, Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi directly started attacking Su Mu and Chu Men.

They did not show any mercy and used whatever means necessary to break through their defense. As such, they immediately managed to suppress Su Mu and Chu Men.

However, the latter two also gritted their teeth determinedly and resisted their suppression, risking bodily injury to keep the two of them away. While they were battling, Ling Zhanzi was approaching a moment of crisis.

Boom!

Under the violent attacks of spiritual energy, Ling Zhanzi’s hair flew about wildly and there were flecks of blood at the corners of his mouth. He looked at the three Mu Chens who were approaching slowly from the front, his eyes like a panicked beast’s.

“Mu Chen, even if I suffer defeat at your hands today, I will not leave you unscathed!” Ling Zhanzi growled in a low voice, his eyes full of rage.

The next moment, he bit his tongue sharply and blood spurted out. The blood essence then burst into flames, immediately transforming into a red blaze that fell on his body.

The flames raged. It was as if those flames had directly ignited the blood in Ling Zhanzi’s body.

Immediately, his whole body was on fire, inside and out. At the same time, an extremely violent spiritual energy burst out of his body and rose into the air like a beacon of fire.

“Burning blood essence?” Seeing the situation, Mu Chen’s eyes flashed.

This Ling Zhanzi was indeed ruthless, not just to his enemies, but to himself as well. Knowing that he was not in a good situation, he was actually willing to burn his own blood essence! After this war, he would have to cultivate for a long time before he could recover, and there could also be side effects, which would prevent him from improving his skills in the future.

“Mu Chen, you will exit the battlefield with me! Then, the only place left will belong to my Western Kingdom War Temple!” Ling Zhanzi was laughing wildly.

He was giving up his life to leave the battlefield with Mu Chen. After which, based on the strength of Ling Jianzi and Ling Longzi, they would be able to defeat Su Mu and Chu Men easily.

Boom!

The powerful spiritual energy was roaring around Ling Zhanzi like a tornado. He looked like a demon. As his dark gaze was locked on Mu Chen, he clapped his hands together to form a seal and delivered a blow.

“Grand Super Power, War Emperor Spiritual Fist!” he yelled.

The whole world turned dark after he attacked. At this moment, even the numerous masters who were surrounding the White Jade Square were shocked. Ling Zhanzi’s assault was pretty much the strongest assault that one could make without using the Sovereign Celestial Body.

Obviously, at such a crucial moment, Ling Zhanzi had been forced to go beyond his limit. However, just as the countless masters’ faces changed, Mu Chen, who was in front of Ling Zhanzi, started laughing loudly.

He then let out a huge roar that resounded through the heavens and the earth. He stepped forward, while the black and white Mu Chens fell one step behind him. This seemingly careless step suddenly turned into the formation of a mysterious array.

Mu Chen had stepped forward as though Ling Zhanzi’s earth-shattering punch was nothing. His low voice rang out clearly amid the howls of the wind, “If that’s the case, then I’ll use you as a sacrifice for the first battle of my Spiritual Three Battle Array!”
