Chapter 208
Xuanfeng Empire's defense line.
Ye Shi walked along the defense line, and the cultivators he met all bowed respectfully to him.
In just a few days, Ye Shi, with the Sky-Devouring Worm, repelled monsters several times and easily strangled dozens of king-level monsters, making a great name for himself.
In fact, it was not only the people from other empires who were worried that Ye Shi and Muchen were not strong enough to defend the defense line. The people stationed at the border of Xuanfeng Empire were also worried.
Ye Shi used his powerful strength to dispel everyone's doubts.
The Sky-Devouring Worms led by Ye Shi were invincible, and everyone was convinced.
"Shi Tou, you have a very high prestige among everyone now!" Xin Ruge said with a smile.
"Really?" Ye Shi asked with wide eyes.
Xin Ruge nodded, "Of course, haven't you noticed that everyone looks at you with admiration?
Ye Shi tilted his head and asked curiously, "Who has higher prestige, my or Mu Chen's?"
"It should be you." Xin Ruge thought for a moment and said.
If we say who is more powerful between Mu Chen and Ye Shi, it would probably be Mu Chen. This guy Mu Chen is proficient in talismans, formations, and elixirs. Don't look at Ye Shi fighting happily on the front line. Without the talismans refined by Mu Chen, how could Ye Shi play with the sixth-level talisman!
However, this guy Muchen looks weak and fragile, and because he seldom takes action, the people in the upper class know that he is very powerful, but the people below think that Ye Shi, who is fighting on the front line and always saving everyone from danger, is more powerful.
Xin Ruge narrowed her eyes. Before this, she had heard from some ignorant casual cultivators that Mu Chen was Ye Shi's gigolo.
Ye Shi looked out at the vast array of formations and said confidently, "At this rate, it should be finished in three days."
Xin Ruge nodded and responded, "Yeah."
Xin Ruge looked at the formation group that stretched for thousands of miles, and a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes. Some of the formations were already ready for use, which was indeed very powerful. If the formation group was completed, it was hard to imagine how powerful it would be.
Ye Shi looked at the huge formation group, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. "There is still strength in numbers."
Xin Ruge nodded and said, "Yes!" Mu Chen is a genius, but some things require everyone's concerted efforts.
"Mu Chen said that Lei Cheng helped him a lot." Ye Shi said with his eyes blinking.
Xin Ruge smiled bitterly. Lei Cheng had always wanted to win over Mu Chen to join the Equipment Refining Academy. In the end, although Mu Chen did not enter the Equipment Refining Academy, his equipment refining skills quietly reached the sixth level.
Back then, Muchen knew nothing about weapon refining, which disappointed Lei Cheng greatly. Now, Muchen's array formation skills were so good that Lei Cheng was deeply shocked.
"How did Mu Chen learn the weapon refining technique?" Xin Ruge frowned.
"When he was trapped in the secret realm, Mu Chen was bored, so he learned it." Ye Shi said lightly.
Xin Ruge: “…” Back then in the secret realm, with a bunch of Martial Emperor masters waiting outside, Mu Chen was still able to be idle and bored. It was really amazing.
"Later, I met Senior Mo Feng. Senior Mo Feng's weapon-refining skills were superb, and he taught Mu Chen a lot." Ye Shi said.
Xin Ruge forced a smile and said, "You are lucky."
Ye Shi nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Young Master Ye, there is a monster rushing towards us from the southeast." A cultivator ran over hurriedly and said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Shi's face changed and he quickly rushed to the scene of the accident.
…………
When Ye Shi arrived, Mu Chen had already arrived.
Balls of green flames kept emerging from Mu Chen's body. The monsters that rushed towards the flames were burned to ashes like moths to a flame.
The monsters that came one after another didn't even have time to scream before they were burned into nothingness by the flames in the blink of an eye.
The azure flames illuminated the sky as blue as the sky. In the light of the fire, Muchen's face looked unusually strange.
Mu Chen stood alone in the wind, his hair fluttering in the wind, and his figure looked a little thin and haggard in the wind.
However, it was this not-so-strong body that blocked millions of monsters.
More and more monsters died. The monsters that were constantly pushed forward by the monsters behind them finally began to retreat in panic facing the strange flames.
The surging tide of monsters came quickly and left just as quickly.
After the beast tide receded, only the charred corpses of monsters remained on the battlefield.
Mu Chen looked at the retreating tide of monsters, narrowed his eyes slightly, and his face was as calm as water.
Mu Chen turned around and said calmly to the stunned cultivators beside him, "Go clean up the battlefield."
The battlefield was silent, and all the cultivators were frightened by Mu Chen's swift and decisive attack.
Mu Chen left the battlefield with a normal expression, and everyone watched him leave in a daze.
Mu Chen has always given people the impression of being a powerful "logistics defender". Mu Chen is good at refining pills, making talismans, and even refining weapons, but he is not good at fighting.
Mu Chen was actually protected by Ye Shi. Although many people did not say it, they tacitly accepted this in their hearts.
However, what happened today completely overturned everyone's impression of Muchen.
A group of cultivators looked at Mu Chen's back. This back, which seemed a little pale in everyone's eyes, now became unusually tall.
Xin Ruge stared blankly at Mu Chen's back and murmured, "Mu Chen is really amazing!"
Ye Shi looked at Xin Ruge in confusion, frowned, and said, "Mu Chen has always been very powerful! Don't you know?
Xin Ruge hesitated for a moment, then laughed and said, "Now I know."
Xin Ruge lowered her head. Mu Chen had been hiding in the house all day long and never went out. She almost forgot that Mu Chen was actually a cruel and ruthless person who killed people without leaving any trace.
This guy Mu Chen has been quiet all this time, why would he suddenly take action?
Could it be that Mu Chen had heard the rumor that he was a gigolo protected by Ye Shi?
Ye Shi tilted his head, looked at Xin Ruge, and said, "Senior Sister, what are you thinking about?
Xin Ruge shook her head and said, "Nothing, nothing."
Ye Shi looked at the charred corpses on the ground, sighed softly, and said, "Although Muchen's strange fire attack is powerful, it is also very destructive. The fur, blood, and flesh of these monsters are useless. Fortunately, the most precious monster cores cannot be burned."
Xin Ruge's expression twitched, and she thought secretly: You gave me more than twenty level six talismans so casually, but now you are worried that you can't use the fur, flesh and blood. Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Xin Ruge looked at the corpses scattered on the ground and said, "This batch of monsters seems to be stronger than the previous batches."
Ye Tang nodded and said, "Not bad."
"I hope the formation can be built as soon as possible, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to stop the beast tide behind." Xin Ruge said worriedly.
Ye Shi narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "It will be soon."
…………
Mu Chen walked into his own courtyard. Lei Cheng looked at Mu Chen and said, "Mr. Mu, what's the situation outside? Is it very bad?
"It's been resolved." Mu Chen said indifferently.
Lei Cheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "In fact, with Young Master Ye outside, nothing will go wrong if you don't take action."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "That's true, but we can't put all the blame on Shi Tou!" If he doesn't take action, everyone will think of him as a pretty boy who is being protected by others.
"Mr. Mu, you are so nice to Mr. Ye!" Lei Cheng couldn't help laughing.
Mu Chen smiled and said, "No, Ye Shi is very nice to me. By the way, how many formation flags are missing?"
Lei Cheng's face suddenly became serious, and he said: "One hundred and eighty strokes left."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "We need to hurry up. The monsters that came today seem to be more powerful than those in the past few days. If this continues, a large-scale monster tide will break out sooner or later."
Lei Cheng's face changed. Dozens of Martial King-level monsters came one after another. If it weren't for Muchen and Ye Shi's amazing methods, the defense line would have been broken long ago.
"Senior Lei, you are at the peak of the Nine-Star Martial Spirit! Haven't you ever tried to break through?" Mu Chen suddenly asked.
Lei Cheng smiled awkwardly and said, "My qualifications are far behind yours, Mr. Mu. I have tried to break through before, but failed."
The peak of the Nine-Star Martial Spirit may seem not far from the Martial King, but in fact, it is very far apart. Ninety percent of the Nine-Star Martial Spirits will be stuck at that stage throughout their lives, while those who break through will become the best.
For a Nine-Star Martial Spirit that fails to break through, the difficulty of breaking through next time will increase exponentially.
"I'll give this broken King Pill to you, senior." Mu Chen casually threw a pill bottle to Lei Cheng.
Lei Cheng was stunned for a moment, and said awkwardly: "How can this be so embarrassing?
"Teacher Lei, you're welcome. You know the current situation well. If you break through to the Martial King level, you will be of greater help to the front line." Mu Chen said to him lightly.
In fact, the combat power of a Martial King in the early stage does not have a great impact on the battlefield. However, Lei Cheng is a weapon refiner! If he becomes a Martial King, his weapon refining skills will also become superb.
"In that case, I will be disrespectful to refuse." Lei Cheng said with a serious face.
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Senior, go take the elixir first. I'll take care of refining the formation flag."
Lei Cheng nodded and said, "Okay."
Xin Ruge walked into the weapon refining room, but only saw Mu Chen, "Mu Chen, where is Senior Lei?
"He tried to break through to the Martial Spirit realm." Mu Chen said.
"Why did you suddenly think of trying to break through the martial spirit?" Xin Ruge frowned.
Mu Chen didn't care and said, "I gave him a Po Wang Dan."
Xin Ruge nodded. "So that's how it is! You're really generous."
Mu Chen said disapprovingly, "We are all from the same country, so we should work together. Senior Sister Xin, tell those nine-star martial spirit masters out there that as long as they have the spiritual herbs for the Broken King Pill, they can come to me and exchange them for the pill."
Xin Ruge was stunned for a moment and said, "You are too generous."
Mu Chen smiled indifferently and said, "There are too few Martial Kings in the Xuanfeng Empire."
Hearing this, Xin Ruge smiled bitterly and said, "Yes!
Other countries have at least several hundred powerful Martial Kings, but in their Xuanfeng Empire, including those Martial Kings who have secluded themselves from the world, there are only twenty at most. The gap is too huge.
A wave of vitality came, and Xin Ruge's face lit up with joy, "Mu Chen, it seems that Senior Lei is advancing."
Mu Chen nodded and said, "Yeah."
A few hours later, Lei Cheng successfully advanced to become the King of Martial Arts. Lei Cheng's advancement added another great general to the defense line of the Xuanfeng Empire, and the confidence of the monks on the front line was further strengthened.
