The Great Ruler (Web Novel)
chapter-1312

BOOM!

A deafening blast echoed in the atmosphere. The gigantic dragon claw slashed mercilessly into the countless blades that covered the sky. At the moment of collision, the entire space suddenly collapsed, as if forming a black hole. The slam of the claw was followed by a devastating aura of destruction. When the claw slashed through them, the seemingly powerful swords crumbled away instantaneously.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

The creaks and cracks of the blades echoed incessantly. Bright shimmering light scattered in the air. Seeing this, Wu Tong's eyelids could not help twitching. It was clear that he had not expected Mu Chen's offensive to be this overwhelmingly powerful.

"Hmph! I don't think you can break my 10,000 blades!" Wu Tong clenched his jaw and controlled the countless blades in the sky without reservation, aiming them directly at Mu Chen.

Bang! Bang!

The dragon claw clashed continuously with the countless blades. As the blades continued to rain down on it relentlessly, the claw began going slower and slower. The battle runes on the claw gradually dimmed as well. Seeing this, a cold smile appeared on Wu Tong's face. However, it did not last long, and his face was frozen again.

Though the countless blades obstructed the destructive claw, it continued to move slowly but steadily, slamming away all the blades in its range.

"How can this fella's fighting spirit be so concentrated?!" Wu Tong's eyes narrowed. Considering the number of battle runes, he should have a slight advantage, but it was obvious that Mu Chen's fighting spirit was more resilient than his!

In a sense, does it not mean that Mu Chen is more competent at handling the Mystery Dragon fighting spirit than I am? When he thought of this, Wu Tong's face turned as green as copper. This was the one thing he would not acknowledge.

Below them, the commander of the Mystery Dragon Army looked up at Mu Chen in surprise. As commander, he was too familiar with the Mystery Dragon fighting spirit. He could feel that Mu Chen was more comfortable controlling the fighting spirit than Wu Tong was. Though they had about the same number of battle runes, Mu Chen's fighting spirit was stronger and purer.

In the air, Mu Chen watched as the claw continued to get closer to Wu Tong, despite the obstruction from the countless blades. With a swift inhalation, Mu Chen's eyes turned fierce.

BOOM!

The claw suddenly tightened into a dragon fist. The fighting spirit on it was running rampant, as if it were endless. An indescribable violence emanated from it.

"Crush them!" After Mu Chen's low growl, the dragon fist punched forward and instantly shattered the countless blades before it.

Tsh-tsh!

The dragon fist's unparalleled offensive came at the price of countless scars being carved onto the fist, but it still carried a horrible energy and appeared above Wu Tong, crashing downward mercilessly. As a looming shadow approached, Wu Tong's face turned pale. He clenched his jaw, clapped his palms together, and violently changed seals.

Buzzzz!

The immense fighting spirit behind him surged madly, swiftly transforming into layers of fighting spirit light barriers, blocking the dragon fist.

Bang! Bang!

The gigantic dragon fist crashed heavily into barriers that were as solid as mountains and tore at them layer by layer. However, as the layers were destroyed, the battle runes on the dragon fist dimmed as well, as its fighting spirit was being exhausted.

Within several breaths, Wu Tong condensed several hundred layers of these barriers, but they were all destroyed by the dragon fist like a landslide crushing all the trees in its path. However, as the last of the barriers ruptured, the dragon fist also reached its limit. When it was still 100 feet away from Wu Tong's forehead, it burst open.

Hmph...

The impact of the explosion shocked Wu Tong, scattering his hair and ripping his robes apart. He looked terribly awkward.

"Was it still blocked?" Seeing this, Mu Chen's eyes were slightly frozen. His offensive was almost the strongest he could muster. He had not expected Wu Tong to block it at the last possible moment. This guy was unexpectedly difficult to handle.

Wu Tong looked horrible at the moment because of Mu Chen. His face was horrid and gloomy. He stared at Mu Chen with a deadly glower, almost as if he wanted to eat him alive. He thought handling Mu Chen would be easy, but after a round of battle, he realized how difficult this opponent was. A slight regret rose in his heart. If he had known this earlier, we would have given anything to have stopped Mu Chen from entering this space.

"No matter what, I must obtain the Mystery Dragon Army!" Wu Tong's eyes were shimmering with a cold aura that could almost devour a man. It seemed like ordinary methods would not take care of Mu Chen.

"Since you seek death, let me satisfy you today!" Wu Tong's face turned ferocious. With a slight clenching of his teeth, he swallowed a pill that had been hidden between his teeth.

BOOM!

After swallowing the pill, his body shook vigorously. He felt a powerful burst of strength from within his body. Even his mind was expanding furiously. The pill he swallowed was the "Fighting Spirit Pill." As its name suggested, it could expand one's fighting spirit. Although the effect was great, there were side-effects. If one was careless and could not steady their mind, even their consciousness would be destroyed.

Wu Tong's eyes turned red. He forcibly resisted the pain and dizziness in his brain. He then swiftly formed a seal with both hands. At that moment, a powerful intent swept out and engulfed the Mystery Dragon Army once more. He wanted to summon the troops again!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Under the force of his intent, figure after figure rushed into the sky. Within a few breaths, about 1,000 Mystery Dragon warriors were added to the army standing behind Wu Tong.

"Hmm?" The burly man frowned a little when he saw this. He obviously felt Wu Tong's suddenly expanded mind, but he predicted that the Mystery Dragon warriors they each could control was only about 1,000.

"How could this be!?" Mu Chen's eyes narrowed when he saw this. He knew what Wu Tong's capabilities were after the last round of fighting just now. With Wu Tong's strength, controlling 2,000 Mystery Dragon warriors was impossible. If he did it forcefully, his conscience would be destroyed by the powerful fighting spirit.

He looked at Wu Tong with a frown. From the latter's reddened eyes, he guessed that had Wu Tong used a certain secret method to increase his own fighting spirit. Otherwise, he could not call upon another 1,000 Mystery Dragon warriors.

"Kiddo, let's how you fight with me this time!" The overwhelming spirit of the 2,000 Mystery Dragon warriors rushed into the air, twisting the space around them. The fighting spirit behind Wu Tong was twice as strong as it had been before! He gave Mu Chen a vicious smile and suddenly pointed in the air.

BOOM!

The sky shook, and 100,000 feet of rainbow of fighting spirit shot out from the fighting spirit ocean behind him, piercing the air and rushing toward Mu Chen mercilessly. Seeing this, Mu Chen quickly formed a seal. Another dragon claw converged from his vast fighting spirit and rushed to face the rainbow.

Bang!

The two collided, but this time, the dragon claw was immediately crushed by the rainbow. Mu Chen's heart immediately sank. Wu Tong's fighting spirit was surprisingly powerful, clearly surpassing his own.

"Haha, weren't you very delighted just now?!" Seeing how Mu Chen was completely suppressed, Wu Tong could not help laughing madly. As he waved his sleeves, streak after streak of fighting spirit shot out in an explosion, shaking the skies and rushing toward Mu Chen.

Facing Wu Tong's violent offensive, Mu Chen of course used all of his strength to block it with his fighting spirit, but he was still pushed back. The thick cloud of immense fighting spirit was gradually thinning as well. He had obviously revealed his losing position.

Beneath them, the burly man frowned as he watched Mu Chen gradually retreat. He could feel that Wu Tong was using some sort of secret recipe, but as the rules of the duel were not clearly set, the battle could continue. In this world, there were many injustices. Sometimes, only the results mattered.

On the field, many Mystery Dragon warriors let out sighs of regret. As Mu Chen had the Dragon Blood, they were more inclined to follow him. But as soldiers, they had to follow the final victor… If Mu Chen could not get the victory, it meant they were not fated together. In that case, there was no use forcing it.

BOOM! BOOM!

Streaks of fighting spirit pierced the sky, devastating Mu Chen's defensive fighting spirit horribly. After that, Mu Chen's cloud of fighting spirit became extremely thin, almost disappearing. However, no one realized that even though Mu Chen was retreating in extreme danger, there was not a bit of panic on his face. A cold gleam was gradually gathering within his dark eyes. His palms, hidden in his sleeves, had already formed a seal, as if waiting for something.

"Kiddo, kneel down now, and I might spare your worthless life!" Wu Tong arose and laughed with an arched back. His face was vicious and ugly. It was obvious that he had victory in his hands. With 2,000 Mystery Dragon warriors, the fighting spirit that they formed was not something Mu Chen's army could withstand. But facing his mad laughter, Mu Chen gave a sardonic smile in return.

"Then die!" Wu Tong gave a nasty grin. Without hesitation, he clapped his palms together. An immense fighting spirit suddenly emerged in the sky, forming an enormous battle spear 1,000,000 feet long. The battle runes on the spear totaled 8,500,000! Seeing this number of battle runes, even a Complete Earthly Sovereign would run away!

Mu Chen looked at the huge battle spear that had suddenly appeared in the sky. His fingers shook a little, and a relieved smile appeared on his handsome face. "So you've finally let it out..."

He raised his head and smiled at Wu Tong, who was looking furious. "Let this be a lesson to you… if you talk too much in a battle, you will regret it." As his voice fell, the seal he formed in his sleeves changed instantly.

"Qi Into Trinity!"

Psssh! Psssh!

The moment the seal was made, the space around him became twisted. In that split second, two figures appeared out of thin air. Evidently, they were the black and white Mu Chens.

The moment they appeared, they sat cross-legged in the air. Immediately, their intent spread out. Then, their deep roars echoed throughout the heavens and the earth.

"Ready the troops!"
