The Great Ruler

Chapter 705 - Swift Defeat

The Battle Will was like an ocean as it gathered above the Nine Nether Troop. The Battle Will was black in colour. As it rolled, it was filled with battle lust and a furious roar as it resounded, causing trembles between the heavens and earth.

Countless gazes in the Demonic Python City were watching this scene with some shock and astonishment in their eyes. Because they knew how harsh the demand was for a troop to form a Battle Will.

It required the troop to train together for months or even years with countless interactions between their Spiritual Energies to reach such an abnormal equilibrium. Furthermore, it also required everyone in the troop to maintain a similar state of might, charging forth without any fear.

Only when their will was poured into their Spiritual Energy, forming the individual Battle Will, could it be converged together without any obstructions and form a terrifying power.

A troop with the Battle Will was a terrifying one.

Also, just forming the Battle Will alone was still insufficient. It required someone that was able to control it and give it miraculous destructive abilities. Thus, it needed someone to manage it so that it could be used to attack.

To control the Battle Will of a troop, it required a core commander that could correlate with the Battle Will to unleash that power. However, to achieve correlation with a troop’s Battle Will, it would require training together for a long time to achieve that sort of compatibility.

The crucial point was that when the controller utilised that Battle Will, they would have to pour the Battle Will into their body. If their heart wasn’t firm, they could lose their willpower from the boundless Battle Will. The slightest mistake could result in a counter of the Battle Will, and the consequences of it would be very severe.

Because of the various limitation requirements, when everyone saw Mu Chen control the ocean of Battle Will with a lift of his palms, they couldn’t control the shock on their faces.

Mu Chen had only been in the Great Havenlaw Domain for a short two to three months. The time Mu Chen had to command the Nine Nether Troop was also very short. However, no one could imagine that he would achieve such compatibility with the Battle Will of the Nine Nether Troop in such a short time.

The faces of Luo Mang’s group of seven were pale as they watched this scene. Because they knew that if Mu Chen could control the Nine Nether Battle Will, then they wouldn’t have any chance of success.

Under their gazes of despair, Mu Chen remained quietly seated on the head of the Great Solar Undying Body. His black pupils were looking at them with indifference, before a slight blaze surged from the depths of his eyes.

When Mu Chen controlled the boundless Battle Will, it was also poured into his body. But due to his bitter training for all these years, Mu Chen was given a willpower that was as solid as a rock. With a thousand people’s Battle Will gathered together, although it was tremendous, it was still impossible for him to suffer the counter-effects.

The torrential Battle Will was like a current as it whistled within Mu Chen’s body, causing Mu Chen’s eyes to be blazing with fighting intent as well. He looked at Luo Mang’s group and slowly lifted his hand, before pointing it down shortly after.

His finger fell down very slowly, as if it was bearing the weight of a mountain. In that instant, when it fell, the space before him shattered like glass as visible cracks swiftly stretched out.

Roar!

Luo Mang’s group of seven was looking at the ray of Battle Will being shot over. Their faces drastically changed as the seven of them swiftly let out a bark. The Spiritual Energy in their bodies poured out without holding anything back. The boundless Spiritual Energy formed into seven huge light screens before them.

When the light screens appeared, they were like the Rashomon, isolating death and life.

Boom!

But there wasn’t any pause in the ray of Battle Will as it shot over. Under the countless gazes, it heavily slammed against the layers of light screen that stood between the heavens and earth.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ray of light shot over, emitting a terrifying energy. The seven light screens were shattered in an a near instant and the swift defeat made countless people dumbfounded.

The seven City Lords joining together turned out to be as weak as paper.

Pffft.

When the seven light screens were instantly shattered, Luo Mang’s group of seven had their faces turning red, before spurting out mouthfuls of blood. Their figures miserably flew back and the Spiritual Energy fluctuations around them also went in disorder.

Boom!

The seven miserably retreated as the fear in their eyes grew deeper. It’s because they saw that when the ray of Battle Will tore through the light screens, the power hadn’t weakened and was still shooting in their direction.

If they were hit by such an attack, the seven of them would probably be dead or crippled. This Mu Chen was truly not intending to be lenient!

A chill surged in the hearts of Luo Mang’s group of seven. This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace was truly ruthless with his means. He did not even give them the opportunity to admit defeat, he was clearly trying to kill them to warn the others!

Whoosh!

The ray of Battle Will ruthlessly shot over and instantly appeared before them. It tore through space, causing the seven of them to have their eyes filled with dense fear.

Under that terrifying pressure, they couldn’t even surrender.

A shocking uproar rang throughout the heavens and earth as those City Lords that were watching from the back couldn’t help having their faces tremble. This new Domain Lord of the Nine Nether Palace is going to kill to establish his might!

“We’re dead!”

The eyes of Luo Mang’s group of seven were filled with despair as the ray of light enveloped them. However, just when they thought that they were going to die, there was a sharp hawk cry that resonated throughout th heavens and earth.

Liiii!

At that moment, when the hawk cry rang out, a scarlet ray of light pierced through space and arrived, heavily smashing against the black beam of battle intent with stunning speed.

Boom!

The two terrifying energies clashed together as a Spiritual Energy hurricane swept up, wreaking havoc. Luo Mang’s group of seven was affected by the shock wave as their figures shot out like cannon balls, leaving behind deep ravines that were a few thousand feet in size on the spacious streets...

Mu Chen looked at the chaotic Spiritual Energy hurricane and narrowed both of his eyes. Shortly after, he turned his head over and looked into the distance, the horizon at that direction was actually presented in scarlet.

The scarlet swiftly flew over. It was only a flash, and they had already appeared in the skies above this city.

When the scarlet light dissipated, a troop that seemed like it was standing on bloody clouds appeared. That troop was covered in scarlet battle armour with a blood spear in their hands. A whiff of ominous aura was also being emitted from their bodies and soared into the sky.

On top of the scarlet troop, there was also a similar scarlet Battle Will form. The Battle Will was in the shape of a cloud and a figure was standing in it with his hands placed behind his back.

“That’s… the Blood Hawk Troop of the Blood Hawk Hall!”

“There’s also Wu Tian, who is one of the Four Great Domain Lords. The men of the Blood Hawk Hall is finally here!”

“It’s great now, even the Blood Hawk Troop was mobilised!”

“…”

When the countless gazes in the city were directed at the scarlet troop, a commotion rang out at this moment. Shortly after, many people had unusual expressions. Looks like the Nine Nether Palace and Blood Hawk Hall have truly fallen out, even the troops under their factions were activated…

When Tang Bing saw the appearance of the Blood Hawk Troop, her face slightly changed as well. Her body trembled as she appeared beside Mu Chen and said in a soft voice, “It’s Wu Tian.”

Mu Chen nodded his head as he looked at the figure above the scarlet troop in the distance with a smile. “You guys finally can’t sit still anymore.”

Wu Tian’s face was cold as he stared at Mu Chen. He initially thought that the preparations of the Demonic Python City were sufficient to embarrass Mu Chen. However, he never imagined that not only was Mu Chen not embarrassed, it even slapped the face of their Blood Hawk Hall. If they still did not show themselves, the reputation of their Blood Hawk Hall would have been utterly lost.

“Mu Chen, take your people with you and get lost from the Demonic Python City. This is the territory of our Blood Hawk Hall, and we do not welcome you!” Wu Tian coldly said.

Hearing his words, Mu Chen faintly smiled as he indifferently said, “Luo Mang’s group of seven have already been dismissed from the position of City Lords. So, in the future, our Nine Nether Palace will fully take over these cities. If your Blood Hawk Hall pokes your hands into our matters, don’t blame our Nine Nether Palace to not give you any face.”

Wu Tian’s face twitched as he laughed from rage, “What a great tone of speech. I’ll see what capabilities you have to seize those cities from us!”

“Blood Hawk Troop!”

Along with Wu Tian’s bark, the troop that was like a blood cloud unleashed an orderly bark. In an instant, an ominous aura soared across the horizon and the boundless Battle Will spread out. There was the reek of blood that seemed to have been emitted from it as well.

The Blood Hawk Troop was the critical fighting strength of the Blood Hawk Hall, with an amount reaching five thousand. Compared to the Nine Nether Palace, it was several times bigger. However, not all of them had followed Wu Tian, so the amount at this moment was only about twice as much as the Nine Nether Troop.

There were countless gazes from the city looking at the Blood Hawk Troop, whose grandeur was stunning, and they couldn’t help changing. Rumour had it that when the Blood Hawk Hall established territories, they had committed affairs like slaughtering entire cities. Thus, the Blood Hawk Hall had a notoriously bright name that far surpassed the Nine Nether Troop.

Wu Tian stood on the torrential blood cloud as his eerie gaze glared at Mu Chen like a venomous snake, along with his cold voice resonating throughout the city.

“I’ll give you ten breaths of time to swiftly get lost from the Demonic Python City. Otherwise, I’m afraid that this bit of fortune that your Nine Nether Palace has will be buried here!”

Mu Chen looked at Wu Tian with a cold gaze as he let out a faint smile. A chill circulated in his black pupils as his bright voice also resounded throughout the sky that was reeking with blood.

“I’m sorry, but I reject your offer.”
