Extreme Spirit Chaos Technique

Mu Chen’s figure flickered to an empty space where he set Mu Bingling down, saying gently, "Stay here. A girl only needs to watch this kind of thing from the sidelines." With that, Mu Chen turned around resolutely. His left hand reached out, his palm clenching slightly. The Profound Jade Box buried underground suddenly began to shake violently and, with a SWISH, shot up from the massive crater. It tumbled through the air before coming to a stop beside Mu Chen. The lid slowly opened, and a giant black fan unfolded with a CLANG. In a flash of black light, it was in Mu Chen’s hand.

This shocking sight stunned both Chen Wenfu and Li Zongtang. Before they could react, a Flash of Thunder erupted from under Mu Chen’s feet as his figure transformed into a White Shadow and charged into the crowd of Chen Family disciples. As Mu Chen brandished the Profound Jade Fan, it became a series of massive afterimages. A continuous series of BANGS rang out, and everywhere Mu Chen passed, a chorus of agonized cries would erupt. As Chen Family disciples were sent flying from the crowd, slashed or smashed, a number of them inevitably died.

Although this was Mu Chen’s first time killing people, he had experienced countless life-or-death struggles and slaughtered innumerable Magical Beasts over the past three years. Thus, he felt no discomfort whatsoever.

The Profound Jade Fan snapped shut. Gripping its base, Mu Chen gathered Primordial Power on its ribs and swung it fiercely. Three Li Family disciples, unable to dodge in time, were struck with a BOOM. They shot backward like cannonballs, crashing into the stone walls and turning into masses of mangled flesh.

A force of over twenty thousand jin—enough to shatter even Xuan Iron, let alone a human body of flesh and blood. When Li Zongtang saw Mu Chen kill more than ten people in a row, he grew furious and roared, "You worthless trash, die!" With a flip of his wrist, a long spear appeared in his hand. He stomped his foot, and with a surge of Primordial Power, he lunged and appeared before Mu Chen.

Mu Chen remained unhurried. With a reverse pull of his Giant Fan, the head of a Chen Family member went flying. Using the Profound Jade Fan’s momentum, Mu Chen flicked his wrist. With a CLANG, the fan closed again, taking the form of a heavy ruler. Primordial Power accumulated, and eight orange Martial Rings materialized beneath his feet, revealing his not-so-powerful Martial Artist Realm.

The moment Li Zongtang charged, Mu Chen swung his left arm, sending a wave of Qi Force toward the just-landed Li Zongtang. Feeling the immense pressure, the alarmed Li Zongtang brought his long spear horizontal with a CLANG, blocking the Fan Blade formed of Primordial Power. But in the next moment, a massive black heavy ruler smashed solidly against his long spear.

BANG!

There were no surprises. Even the Three-Ring Martial Spirit Kong Ye Ming couldn’t withstand Mu Chen’s immense power, let alone Li Zongtang, who was only at the Second Ring of the Martial Spirit Realm. He shot backward like a cannonball, hurtling toward a wall a hundred meters away. But with age comes experience. Li Zongtang’s years of combat experience allowed him to execute countless force-dispersing maneuvers in the instant he was knocked back, and he finally managed to stabilize himself just before hitting the wall.

Having just regained his footing, Li Zongtang felt his arms go numb, completely devoid of strength. The webbing between his thumb and forefinger had already split open, and his entire body felt like it was about to fall apart. His face was pale. However, just as he was about to attack again, the Yellow-grade High-quality Long Spear in his hand emitted a sharp CRACK. Li Zongtang looked down and saw a web of fine cracks spreading across the spear shaft, centered on the point of impact.

Li Zongtang was dumbfounded and utterly horrified. ’How is this possible? This spear of mine is a Yellow Rank High-Grade Weapon! He’s only an Eighth-Ring Martial Master, so why does he have such immense power?!’

After seeing Li Zongtang sent flying, Chen Wenfu flew directly into the air. He rapidly slashed with the silver longsword in his hand, and countless silver streams of Sword Qi locked onto Mu Chen, descending upon him like a maelstrom. Mu Chen moved his palm, and the Profound Jade Fan opened with a SWOOSH. With a pull of his arm, he sent out black Fan Blades to meet the Sword Qi in the air.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!...

As the attacks collided, a powerful fluctuation of Primordial Power swept through the air. Chen Wenfu’s brow furrowed, and he shouted, "Pine Wind Sword Slash!"

A ball of powerful Primordial Power enveloped his longsword. Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew past. Chen Wenfu’s wrist vibrated, and a long, narrow, nearly transparent stream of Sword Qi streaked across the sky, plunging downward. From that transparent Sword Qi, Mu Chen could clearly feel a fluctuation of Primordial Power that seemed capable of slicing through anything. This was a Combat Skill attack. Behind his closed eyelids, his pupils contracted violently. Six snowflakes began to spin rapidly, and the three-meter-long stream of Sword Qi became clear in his vision. His expression hardened. With a thought, Mu Chen clenched his fist, and dozens of inch-thick ice walls instantly materialized in the path of the Sword Qi.

Chen Wenfu was surprised at first, then sneered, "A mere Eighth-Ring Martial Master like you wants to block my Pine Wind Sword Slash? You’re dreaming!"

With that, Chen Wenfu raised his hand and slashed again. Two white streams of Sword Qi intersected, tearing through the dozens of ice walls Mu Chen had created in the blink of an eye. Although the walls had dissipated a considerable amount of the attack’s force, in the eyes of the onlookers, the speed of the Sword Qi was still terrifying. Most people had stopped what they were doing, looking up at the two streams of Sword Qi in the sky.

The power of the Sword Qi was indeed terrifying, but at its current speed, it wasn’t impossible for Mu Chen to dodge. However, behind him were countless members of the Mu Family. If he dodged, the two streams of Sword Qi would surely kill many of them.

Mu Chen snorted. Thunder Light erupted from under his feet as he roared, "Thunderbolt!"

As his voice fell, countless fine threads of Thunder Light enveloped the Profound Jade Fan. To the astonishment of the crowd, Mu Chen’s body turned into a White Shadow, leaping up with a WHOOSH and charging toward the two streams of Sword Qi in the air.

Chen Wenfu was stunned for a moment, then scoffed, "A waste will always be a waste. Trying to meet force with force? You’re digging your own grave!"

BOOM!

With a deafening roar, Mu Chen’s Profound Jade Fan finally collided with the two streams of Sword Qi. For a moment, Mu Chen and the two attacks were locked in a stalemate in mid-air, sparks flying from the point of contact. Mu Chen’s brow furrowed. The Ultimate Ice Elemental Power within him circulated rapidly. A deep blue light enveloped the thunder-wreathed Profound Jade Fan, and the first of its nine ribs began to glow dazzlingly.

"Break!"

With a thunderous shout, Mu Chen slammed his left hand down, slicing through with a sound like tearing fabric...

All the Martial Artists on the ground were frozen in place. Li Zongtang, still clutching his long spear, had his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg. He had personally experienced the power of Chen Wenfu’s Pine Wind Sword Technique. That was a Lower Grade Profound Tier Combat Skill! When unleashed with the power of a Two-Ring Martial Spirit, its might was no less than a Combat Skill released by a Three-Ring Martial Spirit expert.

But what was he seeing now? Those two streams of Sword Qi had just been torn to shreds by an Eighth-Ring Martial Master. Staring at the shattered fragments of Sword Qi, Chen Wenfu’s sneer froze on his face.

Mu Chen discreetly flexed his wrist. Although the block was successful, he could feel his wrist had sustained considerable damage. He hadn’t expected the seemingly slender Sword Qi to contain such immense impact force. It seemed brute strength was ultimately no match for Primordial Power. But now was not the time to stop.

With a thought, a block of blue Profound Ice materialized out of thin air beneath Mu Chen’s feet. He pushed off it, and in a flash, his body appeared in front of Chen Wenfu. He had already channeled immense power into his Profound Jade Fan, unleashing the smashing move from the Nine Waves Technique.

Li Zongtang cried out a warning. Only then did Chen Wenfu snap back to reality. As a conditioned reflex, he channeled his Primordial Power and slashed out with a SWISH, sending a stream of Sword Qi towards Mu Chen. CLANG! Sparks flew, but that ordinary stream of Sword Qi was no match for Mu Chen’s smash. It shattered into a shower of crystalline light with a BOOM. Watching the Profound Jade Fan get closer and closer, Chen Wenfu had no choice but to raise his longsword to parry.

CLANG!

The screech of metal on metal echoed throughout the entire Mu Mansion Courtyard. Chen Wenfu felt a tearing pain in the webbing of his hand, and then he saw the scenery blur past his eyes as the image of Mu Chen grew smaller and smaller.

BOOM!

With a tremendous crash, Chen Wenfu’s body slammed into the ground. He carved a long, narrow trench before slowly coming to a stop.

Silence. The entire Mu Mansion Courtyard fell silent. Just then, a dozen or so figures descended from the sky, landing steadily on the ground. These were the high-level figures who had just arrived: Mu Gu Tian, Mu Feng, Wang Mo, and the others. At this moment, however, every single one of them was staring at Mu Chen in disbelief. The battle between Chen Wenfu and Mu Chen had taken place in the sky, and they had seen everything from start to finish.

Wang Mo looked up at the sky in fearful awe and asked in a low voice, "Old Gu, who on earth is he?"

Mu Gu Tian looked at Mu Chen with a complicated expression and said with a wry smile, "Brother Wang, he is the one our Mu Family once considered a waste... Mu Chen..."

A gentle breeze swept through the air, lifting Mu Chen’s ice-blue hair. In the eyes of others, his fair and handsome face now looked resolute. The breeze not only lifted his ice-blue hair, but also his empty sleeve.

"It’s him!" Wang Mo’s pupils contracted violently, and the look of disbelief on his face intensified.

Mu Feng looked at Mu Chen in the air, his eyes filled with pride. He murmured, "No one will ever call my son a waste again. My son is a genius."

COUGH, COUGH...

A violent coughing fit came from where Chen Wenfu had landed. Despite suffering such a heavy blow, he actually managed to stand up. He sneered at the assembled group. "Heh heh, your Mu Family certainly hides its secrets well. A waste? It seems I underestimated you."

Mu Gu Tian snorted coldly. "Underestimated? Have you ever given our Mu Family a second glance? In your eyes, the Mu Family is nothing but fish on a chopping block. What happened to you today is just karmic retribution."

"Haha, karmic retribution? You think I’ve lost? You think your Mu Family is the only one with a trump card?" Chen Wenfu wagged his finger and laughed. "Wrong! Did you really think I, Chen Wenfu, would attack your two families without being fully prepared?" With that, he turned to Li Zongtang and said loudly, "Brother Li, it seems we have no choice but to accept that person’s terms."

As the head of his family, Li Zongtang naturally understood the priorities. "Heh heh, my thoughts exactly. It’s just fifty percent of the profits, isn’t it? Compared to that, I’m more interested in seeing how the Mu Family disappears from Luofeng City."

A wicked smile curled Chen Wenfu’s lips. A ring on his finger flashed, and a red sphere appeared in his hand. With a wave, the red sphere shot into the air, trailing a long, fiery tail. Then, the red ball erupted with a blinding light and a BANG, exploding into a firework.

"That’s a Signal Flare!" Wang Mo shouted, his expression turning to panic.

Mu Gu Tian looked at Wang Mo and said, "Could it be people from the Huayang Sect? I’ve long heard that the Chen Family has some secret dealings with them. If that’s true, then this is going to be troublesome."
