23: Chapter 23 Fierce Battle in the Park (Part 5)

In any case... no matter what kind of ability or bloodline is awakened, you only know who is stronger or weaker after a fight!

"Be careful." In his past life, Mu Cheng was just a small figure; he had truly never heard of the Battle Qi Bloodline.

However, his intuition told him that he had to handle this with caution!

"Come on! I'll fight you to my heart's content today."

Suddenly, Jiang Nanbei's body grew at least twice its size.

"It's Father's aura. I don't know what's happening up ahead," Jiang Bei said, sensing the aura from outside.

Jiang Nan pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, just wait and see!"

Not just them, but the other factions that had withdrawn were all extremely anxious, quietly waiting for the outcome.

"Just what I wanted!" Mu Cheng didn't care about the consequences; the situation had indeed far exceeded his expectations.

He could only let loose and give it his all...

Jiang Nanbei thrust the spear in his hand toward Mu Cheng, and an invisible surge of energy was clearly visible.

It crashed toward Mu Cheng like a giant wave...

"Good timing!" Mu Cheng wasn't the type to act without thinking.

Suddenly, an earthen wall rose from the ground. Although it blocked the attack, it was still broken through by Jiang Nanbei.

"As expected of the Devouring Bloodline. It looks like he has already devoured all the attribute abilities." Chu Yaoyao, of course, knew this better than anyone.

Beside her, Lu Yuxuan looked completely bewildered. "Brother Cheng... he can actually use an Earth Attribute Ability? I remember he had Ice and Lightning Attribute Abilities before."

"It might be because of his bloodline!" Gu Na was also completely confused.

Currently... they indeed knew very little about this world, especially regarding bloodlines and abilities.

It wasn't that they didn't want to learn, but the data in their Smart Bracelets didn't record anything about bloodlines or abilities at all.

"Let's see how much longer you can dodge." Jiang Nanbei slashed at Mu Cheng once again.

Mu Cheng knew that he would surely lose in a direct clash, so he naturally used his own advantages.

This time, he directly released an Ice Wall. It was significantly harder than the earthen wall and managed to block Jiang Nanbei's attack without breaking.

"Good lad, it seems you have more than just two abilities." Qin Chen expressed his great surprise.

He now clearly realized that Mu Cheng's strength went far beyond that mysterious Black Vine; he also had abilities...

"To actually be able to release two types of abilities, things are getting more and more interesting." gelatinous tooth also grew full of curiosity.

However, Bai Yi remained very calm, as if... she didn't find it strange at all.

"Good lad, I admit you have some skill, but in the face of absolute strength, these flashy tricks are useless!"

Jiang Nanbei quickly broke through the Ice Wall and thrust his spear toward Mu Cheng again.

"Is that so? Then try some other abilities." Mu Cheng wasn't stupid... he casually threw out a mass of black fireballs.

Not just fireballs, but also black Lightning Balls... flying toward Jiang Nanbei in a dense swarm.

"My goodness, isn't this a bit much?" Lu Yuxuan was shocked as she watched.

She never expected... Mu Cheng could release so many abilities without even breaking a sweat.

No matter how strong Jiang Nanbei was, he could only dodge for so long, but Mu Cheng's attacks were simply too fierce.

He simply couldn't withstand them. Soon, his entire body was scorched black, to the point where even his own son wouldn't recognize him.

"Kid, stop hitting me, I surrender." Jiang Nanbei already knew he had no chance of winning.

So he simply surrendered, and soon his whole body returned to its original form...

And since he was completely naked, he left with his tail between his legs.

There was no other way; saving face was important...

"Brother Cheng... this is too ruthless!" Tao Mumu's jaw dropped as she watched.

After all, he was a dignified leader of one of the Five Major Factions... Being beaten so miserably, where would he put his face in the future?

It was indeed a bit much, but the other three just chuckled and didn't say anything.

Gu Na was also speechless. "Forget it... although the win was a bit unsavory, as long as he won, it's fine."

"Pah! Just as I thought, not a single man is any good." Chu Yaoyao was clearly becoming a bit shy...

"Kid, you're indeed quite good. Let's have another battle!"

gelatinous tooth made his move, and his speed was incredibly fast... In just an instant, a black gold dagger in his hand was already thrusting toward Mu Cheng.

But it was clearly just a probing attack, which Mu Cheng dodged very easily.

"I've heard that Captain gelatinous tooth possesses great strength; I'd like to test it today."

After speaking, Mu Cheng immediately swallowed a Rice Ball... and his physical strength was instantly fully restored.

This was a last resort; if he were to compete in abilities with gelatinous tooth now... he wouldn't be able to win at all.

Based on his knowledge of him from his past life, he decided to go straight into close-quarters combat.

First, it would allow him to recover his ability energy and prepare to deal with the remaining two.

Second, he could see exactly where his limits were...

"Exactly my thoughts! Let's have a satisfying fight today!"

As expected, gelatinous tooth agreed. He retracted the dagger and clenched his right hand into a fist, striking fiercely at Mu Cheng.

"Good timing!" Mu Cheng naturally also retracted his black gold blade and met the attack with his right fist clenched.

After the first exchange, neither of them gained any advantage, and the close-quarters combat thus began...

Fist to flesh... it was truly a blood-pumping sight to behold.

"I really don't understand this guy, gelatinous tooth. He clearly has the Battle Qi Bloodline as well, so why have I never heard of him using it?"

Chu Yaoyao also expressed great curiosity...

"Brother Cheng... he should be able to win, right?" Lu Yuxuan felt her heart ache as she watched Mu Cheng take a punch to the body...

Gu Na shook her head and said, "It's hard to say... both have physical strength at the Sixth Level of Thousand-Jun. It will be very difficult to determine a winner."

Just as she said, a full ten minutes passed, and the fist-to-flesh combat continued...

Without eating a High-tech Rice Ball to restore stamina, high-intensity combat... often exhausted both sides.

Now, it was a matter of seeing whose willpower was stronger!

Finally, after the battle lasted for thirty minutes, gelatinous tooth collapsed first... lying on the ground, gasping for breath.

Mu Cheng couldn't hold on any longer either... and finally fell to the ground.

"Why didn't you use your Battle Qi Bloodline?" Mu Cheng asked, panting heavily.

Lying on the ground, Lang Ya smiled slightly.

"Abilities and such, I feel they're unreliable. Only one's own physical strength is the true path!"

"True. If he had used the Battle Qi Bloodline, he probably would have been one of the top ten experts in my past life." Mu Cheng didn't ask any further.

There are thousands of paths to becoming stronger... attempting to forge one's own path indeed requires great courage.

Mu Cheng was also filled with emotion at this moment, unsure of what kind of path he should choose.

He even began to struggle with what was right and what was wrong...

But regardless, he could only take it one step at a time. After eating a High-tech Rice Ball, he was instantly restored to full health.

gelatinous tooth also ate one and showed great respect to Mu Cheng.

"Until we meet again. If there's a chance, let's have another satisfying fight!"

With just that simple sentence, he quickly left without looking back...

"Are you two going to come at me together?" Mu Cheng didn't think too much; he had to deal with what was in front of him first.

"I have no need to fight. You guys have fun!"

After Bai Yi finished speaking... she quickly vanished.

"Only the City Lord is left. His strength is at the Peak of the Fourth Stage. I don't know if he can do it." Chu Yaoyao knew better than anyone.

He couldn't break through to a Fifth-stage Ability, but he was only one step away!

How could a man say he "can't"? Mu Cheng naturally couldn't be incapable; even if he couldn't, he had to!

"Come! Let me see your strength." Qin Chen didn't waste any words.

A black gold sword appeared in his hand, and he immediately got serious, swinging out a powerful Lightning-attribute Sword Qi.

"It's Sword Intent. He's got something." Chu Yaoyao, of course, knew best.

However, Mu Cheng had never seen it before, but he had extensive combat experience.

When he didn't understand the opponent's strength, he was naturally inclined to dodge.

The speed of the lightning sword qi wasn't very fast. Mu Cheng only needed to slightly activate his Wind Attribute Ability to dodge it with complete ease.

What kind of move was this? Lightning-attribute abilities could be used like this?

Lu Yuxuan was clearly shocked and began to worry. "Brother Cheng won't be okay, will he?"

"Calm down, this is just an exchange. Even if he loses, it's normal." Tao Shuishui wasn't panicked at all.

So many treasure chests... isn't her being so calm clearly a sign of confidence in Mu Cheng?

Clearly, she was just being stubborn...

"It's fine, but with so many treasure chests... if he loses, it'll be truly tragic." Gu Na actually cared quite a bit.

So many treasure chests could indeed boost the strength of Menglou Pavilion by at least a significant margin.

"Good lad, take another strike from me!" Qin Chen swung the black gold sword in his hand again.

Another lightning sword qi flew toward Mu Cheng, but he still dodged it easily.

"Old man, you should show your true strength!" Mu Cheng was just talking tough.

In reality, he didn't dare to strike rashly either...

"Then I shall satisfy you." Qin Chen also got serious, and he suddenly began to levitate.

Countless Lightning-attribute Sword Qis were condensing behind him...

As he swung the black gold sword, ten thousand swords were released at once, flying toward Mu Cheng in a dense swarm like rain!

With such a large-scale attack, Mu Cheng indeed had no way to dodge. He had no choice but to use his Ice Ability.

An Ice Wall condensed instantly, but unfortunately, it didn't look cool for more than three seconds...

The Ice Wall was broken through by the Lightning-attribute Sword Qi in less than three seconds.

"Damn it, I guess I have no choice."

Mu Cheng was forced into a corner and had to release the Black Vine, forming another wall...

"Is this... the sword qi being devoured?"

He was suddenly very shocked; he never expected the lightning sword qi to be devoured by the Black Vine...

The Devouring Bloodline can devour everything... Mu Cheng could finally confirm that it wasn't limited to just attribute abilities.

Even bloodlines were possible!

This sword qi doesn't seem to be a bloodline, does it? Mu Cheng was indeed quite puzzled. Logically, if it were a bloodline...

He would have been able to sense it, but now he couldn't perceive any aura. Although it looked very ordinary...

Its actual power was astonishing...
