When Mu Chen appeared on that stone platform, quite a few people in the surrounding area had shock smearing across their eyes. Among the freshmen, Mu Chen and Luo Li had the most fame.
Mu Chen rose to fame because of that huge battle during the Freshman Competition, whereas Luo Li had rose up to the Heavenly Ranking previously, which was known to many students in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy.
Looking at it right now, both of them seemed to be gathered and were also standing on the side against the Great Desolate Association.
However, although Mu Chen and Luo Liâs fame were rising, the Great Desolate Association wasnât any simple force. In the entire Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, those that could surpass them can be counted on oneâs fingers. Mu Chen, however, was still a fledgling and itâd be difficult for him to contend against them.
âHoo, youâve finally appeared.â
Seeing Mu Chen, a smear of a cold smile instantly appeared on Xu Qingqingâs face, âDid you really treat my words back then in the Rank 6 Spirit Convergence Array as a joke? Youâve offended me, Xu Qingqing, and still want to have a good time in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?â
âAre you the one that hit her?â
Mu Chen didnât have much of an expression on his face as he pointed towards Sunâer. His voice was calm, like water without much ripples of emotion.
Xu Qingqing cast a glance at Sunâer, who had red palm marks on her little face. The little girlâs appearance with watery eyes did indeed attract the pamper of others, however, she cast the corner of her mouth to the side. At such a young age, she already knows how to feign the pitiful victim to attract men.
âI was the one that hit her, who lets her to be so untactful to have the cheek to contradict me. Itâs already light that she only got a slap.â Xu Qingqing coldly laughed.
âIf I encounter people like you in the Spiritual Road⊠â
Mu Chen stared at Xu Qingqing, his handsome face had a smear of smile. However, in that smile, it was filled with chill and a smear of killing intent.
ââŠI would have killed you.â
When Mu Chenâs last sentence came out coldly, his gaze turned ice cold.
Xu Qingqing felt the deep killing aura within Mu Chenâs words, her face had also changed. But shortly after, she flew into a rage out of humiliation and screamed, âWho the hell are you? Before me, you still dare to act that?!â
Mu Chenâs gaze remained cold as his body slightly leaned forward. However, just when he was about to charge out, the black-dressed girl by his side took a step before him. Her figure was extremely fast and seemed like lightning. Even Mu Chen was only able to catch her fuzzy afterimage.
Luo Liâs figure instantly appeared before Xu Qingqing. At this moment, her delicate face had a faint chill that was spreading out.
âWho are you?â Seeing Luo Li before her, Xu Qingqingâs brows were raised. She looked at her delicate appearance that even a woman would be envious of. A trace of jealousy rose in her heart.
Luo Liâs glass-like eyes faintly stared at her, but she didnât speak a word. Her jade-like hand was raised and suddenly moved with her palm open.
PAAAAA!
Luo Liâs hand was like lightning. She didnât have the slightest mercy and heavily slapped Xu Qingqingâs face. That crisp sound resounded from the stone platform.
Xu Qingqingâs face turned over from that slap on her face. She opened her mouth and her eyes widened, appearing to be a little blank, as she didnât have the time to respond.
She was actually slapped?
After that crisp slapping sound had resounded from the stone platform, all those who were whispering from before looked as though they had been chopped off. Everyoneâs expressions were a little solidified as they blanking stared at this scene.
Those members of the Great Desolate Association behind Xu Qingqing were also dazed. Theyâre very clear of how crafty and unruly Xu Qingqing was, borrowing the fame of her brother, Xu Huang. Although there were people within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy that hated her, those people could only restrain their loathe and welcome her with smiling face. And today, Xu Qingqing was actually slapped in front of so many people?
They were in a daze, staring at the black-dressed girl before Xu Qingqing. Her delicate appearance had made them slightly absent-minded.
âYouâŠ!â
Xu Qingqingâs rosy lips slightly trembled as she slowly turned her face around and looked at Luo Li before her and mutter with a hard to believe voice, âYou dared to hit me? You dared to hit me?!â
âThat slap earlier, was for Sunâer.â Luo Li looked at her with an indifferent expression. Thereafter, her expression turned cold and her jade-like hand was raised, her palm open again.
PAAA!
The crisp sound resounded again and caused everyoneâs hearts to twitch.
âThis slap was for you scolding him earlier on. In the future, when you scold him once, Iâll slap you once.â Luo Li retracted her jade-like hands and faintly declared.
The burning pain from her cheeks had thoroughly woken Xu Qingqing up. However, insanity rushed out from her eyes. He face was a little distorted as she looked at Luo Li. With a grasp of her jade-like hand, a longsword appeared with a flash. After pouring Spiritual Aura into it, she was making a mad attempt to pierce Luo Liâs throat, âIâll kill you!â
A black-coloured longsword slide into Luo Liâs hand as she abruptly grabbed onto the sword hilt. Images of a sword appeared as the sword stealthily slashed out a profound trajectory and heavily landed on Xu Qingqingâs wrist.
Claaang!
A bruise instantly appeared on Xu Qingqingâs wrist as her longsword fell.
Xu Qingqing issued a shriek as she grabbed her wrist. Her eyes turned red and her originally somewhat pretty face became a little distorted and unsightly. She screamed in insanity, âKill her! Quick, kill her for me!â
At the current moment, Xu Qingqing had nearly gone insane. Over the years, she had been used to being unreasonable and tyrannical in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. Since when has she ever suffered such humiliation before? Those two slaps nearly gave her a kind of fainting feeling.
She knows that if this matter were to spread out, it would definitely be a laughing joke in the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy. How would she have any face left?!
The large amount of seniors behind Xu Qingqing had also recovered from their shock. After all, this Xu Qingqing was the sister of Xu Huang and today, she was slapped before their eyes. If they didnât do anything, they wouldnât be able to explain themselves.
âJunior, arenât you a little too heavy with your hand?â
A youth with an ordinary appearance, but with some chill in his expression took a step out as he barked. He extended his hand out as his forceful Spiritual Energy swept out and made a grab towards Luo Li like eagle claws.
âIf Iâm you, I wouldnât want to touch her!â
However, just when his hand had extended out, a voice with ice in his tone resounded. A figure flashed forth from behind Luo Li and a fist flew out. Surges of Spiritual Energy mercilessly shot towards that youth with rising black flames.
âHmph!â
Seeing it, that youthâs face had also changed. Forming the shape of claws with his hand, Spiritual Energy within his body surged. On his fingertips, Spiritual Energy looked like they had been crystallized as it carried sharpness and heavily collided with that fist of black flames.
Bang!
The two of them collided as violent Spiritual Energy ripples swept out. The face of that youth had changed at that moment as he felt a surge of blazing sensation coming from his fingertips. Those peculiar black flames were actually igniting his Spiritual Energy as it attempted to intrude into his body.
Those black flames seemed to have great harm towards Spiritual Energy.
The gaze of that youth flashed and he urgently retracted his fist as his figure backed off dozens of steps.
Woooosh!
Seeing that youth moving backwards, a low uproar had instantly spread out in the surrounding. They all knew that youth, his name was Chen Xiu. He can be considered one of the higher ranked members in the Great Desolate Association. Right now, his strength had reached Heavenly Fusion Stage Late Phase and itâs said that he possessed the qualification to fight for the top 100 in the Heavenly Ranking. They never expected that he would be knocked back by Mu Chen in a single exchange.
âChen Xiu, you trash. You canât even take care of a freshman?! All of you, go! Capture them! I want to kill that little tramp!â Seeing the situation, Xu Qingqingâs body was trembling from the anger. Her sharp voice was flustered and exasperated. The her right now had lost a little of her rational.
Chen Xiu and the rest, seeing that Xu Qingqing was making an unreasonable scene, were making faces that werenât that nice either. They were from the Great Desolate Association, but they werenât slaves of Xu Qingqing. If it wasnât for Xu Huang, they probably wouldnât even pay any attention to Xu Qingqing.
Mu Chen stood before Luo Li as he looked at Xu Qingqing, who had her face distorted from anger, as well as Chen Xiu and his group with a cold expression.
Luo Liâs jade-like hand was lightly grasping the black longsword. Her glass-like eyes did not show too many ripples. Her gracefulness and calmness was exactly opposite of the unreasonable Xu Qingqing. This caused everyone to have their lips twitch in their hearts. Compared to this Luo Li, Xu Qingqing was lacking quite a bit.
Xu Qingqing made a bursting unreasonable scene, but seeing that no one paid attention to her in the surrounding area, she was trembling from the anger. She pointed towards Chen Xiuâs group and bit her teeth, âFine, since you guys donât want to take action, Iâll do it myself. If Iâm killed, Iâll see how you guys explain yourselves before my big brother!â
Chen Xiuâs group had the corners of their mouths twitching. Within the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, killing is forbidden. Only crazed women like you would shout about killing someone.
Xu Qingqing however, did not care about what they were thinking. Grabbing onto her longsword, she was about to charge out as if her life depended on it.
âQingqing!â
Just when she was about to rush out, a low bark resounded. It was like booming thunder as it resounded on the stone platform. Hearing that voice, joy immediately filled Xu Qingqingâs face.
âBig brother!â Xu Qingqing hastily raised her head. She saw a figure flashing not far away and in a several breaths, he appeared above this area. Thereafter, he flashed down and landed beside Xu Qingqing.
When Zhou Ling and the rest had heard Xu Qingqing shouting âBig Brotherâ, their hearts abruptly sank. In this Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, thereâs only one person that could be called this name by Xu Qingqing.
Their lines of sight shifted to Xu Qingqingâs side with a little fear. Over there, a luster dispersed and revealed a thin figure. He was donned in grey clothes. His face wasnât handsome at all and his eye socket was slightly caved in. That pair of eyes had a kind of hawk-like sharpness. When his eyes swept, it caused fear to arise in the heart of others.
This person was Rank 5 of the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academyâs Heavenly Rank, Xu Huang?
