SWOOSH!!
Perhaps the atmosphere had been oppressive for too long, or perhaps they felt emboldened by the hundred-some Martial Emperors on their side. Finally, one Outer Mountain member could no longer hold back and shot toward Mu Chen.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH...
Once one person took the first step, more followed. In an instant, from Ye Shuangshuang and Mu Bingling’s perspective, countless figures swarmed toward them, blotting out the sky and obscuring the clear heavens that had emerged from the mist. They felt the world-shaking pressure erupting from countless Emperors unleashing their Primordial Power all at once, and their faces turned deathly pale.
"Chen’Er, run!"
’This pressure already surpasses the threat of a Martial Venerable! As far as she knew, no matter how powerful Mu Chen was, he couldn’t possibly withstand a siege from over a hundred Martial Emperors!’
However, upon hearing Mu Bingling’s words, Mu Chen showed no signs of worry. Instead, his expression was relaxed, and he closed his eyes. It was as if he wasn’t facing a siege of Martial Emperors, but a breezy, salt-scented coastline, completely at ease.
’Faced with so many Emperors... perhaps under normal circumstances, I would have no choice but to flee. But here, even if another hundred Emperors showed up, I wouldn’t be afraid... because this is my home turf!’
CLANG!
The moment the thought ended, the phantom image of a pair of enormous, demonic eyes appeared behind Mu Chen. Though it was a phantom, the pair of cold, sharp Ice Flower pupils looked so real that everyone who saw them shuddered, their forward momentum slowing slightly.
"This... Is this a Secret Technique?"
Someone shouted in confusion, and the rest immediately felt the urge to retreat. It wasn’t because they didn’t dare face a Secret Technique, nor was it because they believed such techniques were all-powerful. Rather, the sight of the Thunder Demon, whose fate in the giant crater was still unknown, had left them with a profound shock, casting an indelible shadow on their minds.
Who could say for sure that this wasn’t the same Secret Technique that had defeated the Thunder Demon? Although there were over a hundred of them and one Secret Technique couldn’t possibly cover them all, who was willing to be the one obliterated by it?! So, upon seeing this heaven-and-earth-altering phenomenon, all the Outer Mountain members froze, not daring to advance another inch.
Lei Gui panicked when he saw this. Only he knew that what Mu Chen was using now was not the Secret Technique that had defeated his brother. ’But if it’s not a Secret Technique, then why is it causing such an incredible phenomenon? This...’
’Just how many Secret Techniques does this kid have?!’
For a moment, Lei Gui was lost in shock. He believed in fate, and he believed in luck. But a person’s luck had its limits. Possessing a single Secret Technique was enough to make others burn with envy. Possessing two meant a person had a great destiny. But now, Mu Chen had demonstrated three! If it wasn’t due to luck that was Defying the Heavens, then this kid’s background had to be extraordinary! ’What kind of person did I provoke?’
’If this kid who calls himself Mu doesn’t die today, then no matter how I look at it, my future is bleak.’
’No, I have to make sure this kid dies here.’
This was now his only way to protect himself. With this thought, Lei Gui suddenly roared, "That’s not the Secret Technique that defeated my brother!!"
A simple sentence, yet it was enough to make everyone’s eyes turn bloodshot. They surged forward one after another, no longer caring about any Secret Technique. And this was exactly the situation Mu Chen had been waiting for!
