"Gathering Spiritual Light!"
Mu Chen retreated repeatedly, then channeled the Dark Black Spiritual Power within his body. A thin, black light screen formed on his surface, protecting his body.
Bang, bang, bang!
The continuous spring rain all slammed onto the black light screen.
After all, Mu Chen was only at the late stage of the Spirit Movement Stage. Facing Ji Zong, who was utilizing the power of the Spirit Array, he couldn't resist at all.
Thus, the light screen immediately trembled, looking as if it might collapse at any moment.
"Brother Yuan, we can't drag this out. We must break the Spirit Array as soon as possible!"
Mu Chen's heart tightened.
He and Mu Yuan joining forces probably wouldn't be enough to go head-to-head with Ji Zong.
But how easy would it be to break a Spirit Array built by a First-Rank Spirit Array Master?
"You focus on breaking the array, I'll handle Ji Zong."
Mu Yuan was eager to try.
"But..."
Mu Chen was worried.
Inside the array, Ji Zong was already almost as strong as a late-stage Spirit Wheel Stage expert.
"Can Brother Yuan, who is in the late Spirit Movement Stage, do it?"
"Today, I'll show you your Brother Yuan's true strength, and you need to have confidence in yourself. You might not even realize it, but you have a real talent for arrays."
Mu Yuan smiled at Mu Chen. Then, his Spiritual Power surged, and with a stomp of his foot, water splashed. His body shot towards Ji Zong like a cheetah.
"Brother Yuan, you have to hold on."
Mu Chen didn't feign any more. Since Brother Yuan was buying him time, he definitely had to seize the opportunity.
Taking a deep breath, Mu Chen began to carefully observe the Spirit Array, searching for its flaws.
Ji Zong was only a First-Rank Spirit Array Master. The Spirit Array he set up clearly wasn't at the level of controlling it with his mind.
At the same time.
Ji Zong saw this and smiled faintly.
"What a confident young man!"
Then he waved his hand, and the spring rain condensed into a rain spear, fiercely stabbing towards Mu Yuan.
Mu Yuan clenched his fists and directly blasted forward.
To put it bluntly, without using the power of a Spirit Array, Ji Zong, who was only at the early Spirit Wheel Stage, didn't even catch his eye.
"Not bad strength!"
Seeing Mu Yuan's punch shatter his attack, Ji Zong raised an eyebrow and praised him, but his attacks became increasingly ruthless.
Clenching his hand, he saw the sky filled with spring rain converging towards his palm, directly condensing into a liquid-like rainwater longsword. On the longsword, it seemed as if there was a vast Spiritual Power spreading.
"This guy!"
In terms of actual combat experience, even Nie Daoqun, at the peak of the early Spirit Wheel Stage, couldn't compare to him.
And with the Spirit Array's support, it could be said that this was now Ji Zong's stage. Even if the effects were ignored, Mu Yuan wasn't confident he could kill him with a single sword strike.
Furthermore, there were people from the Liu Territory ambushing them outside the Spirit Array.
Thinking of this, Mu Yuan temporarily abandoned the idea of using the Draw Sword Technique.
"Collapse Fist!"
The fist, shimmering with golden light, formed an extremely powerful force, and without hesitation, he fiercely blasted it towards Ji Zong.
The fist print howled through the air, even tearing apart the rain.
Ji Zong's expression shifted slightly.
He hadn't expected Mu Yuan to be able to unleash power comparable to the Spirit Wheel Stage with only the Spirit Movement Stage's later-stage cultivation.
"However, this isn't enough!"
Ji Zong's eyes turned icy. His water sword vibrated violently in his hand, emitting a buzzing sound. The water sword lashed out like a water python, slamming heavily against Mu Yuan's fist imprint, and a torrent of Spiritual Power erupted!
The Spiritual Power surged, forcing Mu Yuan's body to retreat repeatedly.
"Brother Yuan!"
Seeing this, Mu Chen shouted worriedly.
"Don't worry about me, focus on breaking the array."
Mu Yuan's expression was calm, showing no sign of panic.
With the power of the Spirit Array, Ji Zong's previous strike had the strength of a late-stage Spirit Wheel Stage expert.
It was understandable that Mu Yuan would be at a disadvantage without using the Draw Sword Technique.
Spirit Array Masters really were blessed by the heavens.
"No choice."
Mu Yuan's right hand gripped the sword sheath, and Spiritual Power surged as he vanished from where he stood.
The instant he disappeared, a flash of lightning could be seen.
Of course... it was actually the Draw Sword Technique colliding with the rain, creating a visual effect similar to lightning.
"Useless. Even if you draw your sword, what of it? It's just an ordinary longsword."
Seeing Mu Yuan draw his sword and charge towards him, Ji Zong narrowed his eyes.
Even if it were a divine weapon, with his opponent's cultivation at the late Spirit Movement Stage, he wouldn't be able to unleash its true power.
Fighting someone in the late Spirit Movement Stage while in the late Spirit Wheel Stage was simply a pipe dream.
"You'll know if you try!"
Mu Yuan's eyebrows shot upwards, and he shouted with disdain.
"Draw Sword Technique!"
"Steel Cut!"
Boom!
The sword light had already collided with Ji Zong's water sword.
At the moment of impact, the light and shadow effects, like flashes of lightning, became even more pronounced.
Not only that, but the ground around them instantly cracked under the impact of the violent Spiritual Power.
"So… so strong!"
Mu Chen, who was analyzing the Spirit Array, stared wide-eyed and trembled.
So this is really Brother Yuan's true strength.
He was fighting a late-stage Spirit Wheel Stage expert while in the late stage of the Spirit Movement Stage.
If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn't have believed it.
Ji Zong's heart was like a stormy sea, even more shocked than Mu Chen.
Mu Yuan was completely different from before.
From the impact of that strike, he could guarantee that if they weren't inside the Spirit Array, he wouldn't have been able to withstand even one move from Mu Yuan.
Although shocked, Mu Yuan's attack still couldn't threaten him.
As a seasoned hunter, Ji Zong knew which strategy to use against each opponent.
He immediately switched from offense to defense.
Because of his spiritual techniques, Ji Zong's own defense was also absolutely astonishing. He wasn't as vulnerable as Young Master Du Long, who died after being struck by Mu Yuan's sword.
Discarding his attacks, Ji Zong was now, let alone Mu Yuan, even slower than a regular Spirit Wheel Stage expert.
But if Ji Zong didn't attack you, don't even think about touching him.
The most likely outcome was that when you exhausted your stamina and Spiritual Power, and couldn't even swing your fist, it would be time for him to put on another show.
Ji Zong's strategy was excellent, but he forgot about Mu Chen standing to the side.
Ten breaths later, Mu Chen's gaze suddenly fixed on the Umbrella in Ji Zong's hand. He immediately spoke to Mu Yuan, saying:
"Brother Yuan, he's using the Umbrella to control the Spirit Array."
With Ji Zong's Spirit Array proficiency, he needed an external object to control the array, and that object would definitely be placed in the spot he could protect the easiest.
Mu Chen also realized this a bit late.
"Hmm?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Zong involuntarily tightened his grip on the umbrella.
"Indeed."
Mu Chen became even more certain.
"You tricked me!"
Ji Zong's lips moved.
"Before, I was only eighty percent sure, but now I'm one hundred percent."
Mu Chen grinned at Ji Zong.
"That's a remarkable young man. I didn't expect Mu Feng to have two such outstanding sons."
Ji Zong looked at Mu Yuan and Mu Chen with a serious expression, his face becoming much more solemn.
