Chapter 1312: The Battle of Fighting Spirits

“Haha! Well, ignorant kiddo, aren’t you a brave one?” Hearing Mu Chen’s reply, Wu Tong arched his back and laughed loudly.

His laughter was filled with a thick killing intent, which cooled the entire atmosphere down instantly. As his laughter faded away, Wu Tong’s frozen eyes locked onto Mu Chen like a venomous snake’s. Then, without another word, his figure shimmered, and he appeared above the Mystery Dragon Army.

“All troops, get ready!” He shut his eyes slightly and let out a violent roar.

Suddenly, an immense wave of fluctuations rushed out. The wave quickly spread among the Mystery Dragon Army that was below him.

The troops that were covered in the wave mostly curled their lips. If they put their minds to resisting it, this battle intent would not even stir up their battle spirits. Seeing that the army did not react, the burly man in the front could not help letting out a loud humph.

Only when they saw their commander’s call did they shrug helplessly and let down their guards. Their bodies then soared to the skies, turning into rays of lights and suspending themselves in midair behind Wu Tong.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

Figure after figure rushed upward continuously. Within ten breaths, about 800 warriors from the Mystery Dragon Army had gathered behind Wu Tong. However, when the warriors number reached to about a thousand, Wu Tong could not add another warrior to the ranks. He could feel that he was already at the limit.

It is just as I expected from the famous Mystery Dragon Army! Wu Tong could not help but marvel in his heart.

Back at Wu Jia, he could muster up troops in the millions. But, when he was commanding the Mystery Dragon Army, he could only take a thousand. Even so, in this case, it could clearly be seen that a thousand of them could rival a million of Wu Jia’s troops!

After experiencing the power of the Mystery Dragon Army firsthand, Wu Tong’s greed grew even stronger. He stared at Mu Chen gravely, thinking that he must remove the only obstacle before him today, no matter what!

Controlling a thousand Mystery Dragon Army warriors? This is not bad. But, how much of the Army’s battle spirit can he truly invoke?

The burly man’s eyes shone when he saw this. It was clear that Wu Tong had decent talent as a War Troop Dispatcher, but he was still far from the level of the Mystery Dragon War Emperor.

“Kiddo, where are your troops? Are you afraid?” Wu Tong stared at Mu Chen with cold eyes and asked.

Mu Chen completely ignored his sarcasm as he sat cross-legged in the air. As he shut his eyes slightly, a powerful willpower burst forth from within him.

His intent enveloped the Mystery Dragon Army beneath him. As expected, he faced some resistance.

This was not surprising, since the Army was not created by him to begin with. As such, he was still unfamiliar with them. This made it impossible for them to match up well on the first time.

Swoosh!

But, the slight resistance did not last long. Soon, several figures jumped up from the ground and gathered behind Mu Chen. Within ten breaths, a huge group of figures had now gathered behind Mu Chen. In fact, there were a few thousand people gathering, which was no less than the amount of those behind Wu Tong!

The Mystery Dragon Army is truly stronger than the Spirit-slaughtering Troop. Even the Demon Subduing Troop could not compare… Mu Chen thought to himself as he felt the thousand warriors behind him gathering their immense fighting spirit.

He could not help but feel moved by this thought. If a mere thousand were already this strong, then the entire army would be enough to face a Heavenly Sovereign! Of course, Mu Chen knew that he could not do that right now…

“Hmph, you were only commanding them forcibly just now. But, the same amount of soldiers will still have different strengths in different hands!” When he saw the thousand soldiers behind Mu Chen, Wu Tong’s eyes turned cold and he jeered cynically.

However, his words were indeed true, as the strength of the fighting spirit is not only dependent on the scale of the army, but also on how much of it can be mustered by the controller of that strength.

After he finished his words, his intent surged forth. Combining his inner spiritual energy with his mind, he formed a mysterious energy that enveloped the 1,000 Mystery Dragon Army warriors who were behind him.

“Manifest Fighting Spirit!” When the mysterious energy poured into the bodies of the warriors, their eyes filled with raging red bloodlust. In the next moment, a round of thundering battlecries exploded from their mouths.

BOOM!

The sky and the earth quaked, and a fighting intent as vast as an ocean spread above the thousand warriors, emitting a terrifying pressure.

“Die!”

The immense fighting spirit filled the atmosphere. As he was feeling strong like he never had before, Wu Tong’s eyes became bright red. He shot a vicious smile towards Mu Chen and swiftly formed a seal with one hand.

Thunk!

A ginormous hand emerged suddenly from within the fighting intent ocean. Battle runes, tightly packed together, filled the surface of the hand. Wherever the runes passed by, the space would crumble away.

“Seven million and three hundred thousand battle runes,” the burly commander of the Mystery Dragon Army murmured as he looked at the ginormous hand. With just a sweep of his eyes, he had counted the number of battle runes on the hand.

Mu Chen’s handsome face was calm as he saw the ginormous hand that was filled with battle runes coming down. He quickly formed a seal with one hand.

“Manifest Fighting Spirit!” Behind him, the thousand warriors let out a collective roar. At that moment, an unparalleled fighting spirit rushed forth and filled the whole world.

BOOM!

Another gigantic fist that had been formed from fighting spirit emerged from the cloud of fighting spirit. Countless battle runes were shining on the fist, each of them containing overwhelming power that could shake the heavens and the earth.

“Seven million battle runes!” The burly man’s eyes shone again.

Grrrng-grong!

In the next moment, the ginormous hand and the gigantic fist clashed together with a deafening bang. The unparalleled shockwave that they made upon contact spread forth forcefully. Even Complete Earthly Sovereigns would run like the wind to evade that shockwave!

However, the battle runes on the ginormous hand and the gigantic fist were almost the same. Although Mu Chen’s fist crumbled away first, Wu Tong’s fighting spirit offensive crumbled soon after that. Hence, Wu Tong did not have much of an advantage.

Wu Tong’s face turned gloomy, but the expression in his eyes was serious. The proficiency Mu Chen showed as a War Troop Dispatcher was far beyond his expectations.

“Da*ned fellow, you are not only good at forming spiritual arrays, but you are even a strong War Troop Dispatcher!” Wu Tong could not help but praise him, while clenching his teeth.

Immediately his eyes turned cold. “I have trained for more than ten years on the path of battle arrays. I have spent a great amount of resources for Wu Jia to cultivate this very skill. Hence, I will not lose to a runt like you today!”

Just as he finished, Wu Tong’s seal suddenly transformed, while his mind merged with his spiritual energy, transforming into an immense fighting spirit and completely merging into the immense ocean of fighting spirit behind him.

Ka-booooom!

In the fighting spirit ocean, an endless thunder echoed and the spirit rolled around like waves. Suddenly, countless streams of light shot out and merged in the sky, transforming into blades of light that covered the entire sky.

Battle runes, which were engraved tightly together, were found on each of the blades, emanating a fearful fluctuation. The scene was truly overwhelming.

“Ten Thousand Swords Battle Shadow!” Wu Tong’s eyes turned fierce and cold.

With a swing of his robes, the blades rushed forth with a sharp scream, heading toward Mu Chen from all sides. Facing such an offensive, even a Complete Earthly Sovereign could fall here if they were not careful.

Wu Tong was rather satisfied with his attack. If he was commanding the troops from Wu Jia, he could not have displayed such a power. Now, with the fighting spirit of the Mystery Dragon Army, he could bring the power of the fighting spirit to the extremes.

As such, he wanted to use this attack to stop Mu Chen from ever coming back!

“Now, this is interesting…” The burly man commented.

As Wu Tong was a rather proficient War Troop Dispatcher, he could exert some powers of the Mystery Dragon Army’s fighting spirit. Mu Chen looked up and saw the overwhelming number of blades. He also saw that there were at least a million battle runes on each blade!

An attack of this level could be blocked easily if it were a single blade. However, a million of them would strike fear even in the hearts of Complete Earthly Sovereigns.

Facing such a terrible offensive attack, Mu Chen’s face turn somber. He took a deep breath, and decided that he must give it his all!

Phewwww…

As he took in one more deep breath, his mind gradually merged into the fighting spirit of the Mystery Dragon Army. He felt the vastness and power of the fighting spirit immediately. Then, he summoned a thought…

ROAR!

A dragon roar echoed from his body. He had used his mind to send the authority of the true dragon spirit into the Mystery Dragon fighting spirit!

At that moment, Mu Chen could clearly feel the thousand warriors behind him shaking. The thick fighting spirit suddenly turned a little lighter.

After which, Mu Chen formed a seal with his both of his hands, forming afterimages. He then focused his mind and invoked his own fighting spirit to the extreme.

The clouds of fighting spirit tumbled down violently. In the next moment, a scaly dragon claw emerged from within the clouds. An indescribable fighting spirit gathered above it.

“Battle Dragon Claw!” Mu Chen’s low growl reverberated in the heavens and the earth.

Soon after this, the gigantic dragon claw slashed through the sky with a destructive power. It was heading straight towards the overwhelming blades that covered the sky and the earth!

The moment they clashed would be like an asteroid strike, carrying an air of destruction wherever it went. This clash would decide who was the stronger opponent!
