The Great Ruler (Web Novel)

A large hollow appeared in the boisterous Luo River, cutting off the flow of the water. Xue Shou lay weakly at the center of the swirling water, his clothes torn. He seemed to have been seriously injured.

Xue Tong sat weakly on the river a little further away, looking pathetic. The blood mist in the sky that had been formed by Xue Yi started to dissipate…

The top powers looked at the two people in amazement. The Blood God Clan, the Luo God Clan, and even the top powers who were looking on, all gasped and became fearful. The outcome of the fight was too horrifying.

One person had fought three Earthly Sovereigns, killing one of them and injuring the other two! They chose to believe that Mu Chen had hidden his strength as an Upper Earthly Sovereign all this time. After all, if Xue Yi and the rest had known that Mu Chen was an Upper Earthly Sovereign, they would not have had the audacity to fight him!

The truth was, Mu Chen, who had such an outstanding performance, was a Lower Earthly Sovereign like Xue Yi and the other two! As such, everyone started to look at the slender youth with great respect.

At present, he stood in mid-air, looking calm. Before this, most of the people would have taken his calm disposition as a false pretense. However, after he had given such an outstanding performance, they looked upon him as a person with great strength and authentic skill.

As the entire city was in a state of shock, the top powers of the Luo God Clan looked fearfully at the slender figure. They were filled with hope and joy. This change of events had certainly taken them by surprise.

They had expected Mu Chen to be in a dire state after being besieged by the three Earthly Sovereigns of the Blood God Clan, but he had defeated them easily!

This had lifted up the despondent hearts of the Luo God Clan. In their eyes, this youth who had an unusual relationship with the queen, just might be able to turn the tide and save them all!

Luo Xiu and Luo Qingya looked at each other. They had lost their confidence in fighting their enemies and were hoping that Mu Chen could help Luo Li remedy the people's troubles. They had their doubts earlier, but now they were starting to believe that Mu Chen might just be able to do it…

When Liu Tiandao, the Netherworld Palace Master, and the rest who were at the tower saw that Xue Tong and Xue Shou had been injured by Mu Chen once again, they swallowed hard. When they looked at Mu Chen again, they were filled with the same respect that they had for Mandela.

They were now totally convinced of Mu Chen's capability. After all, the combat force that Mu Chen had displayed was amazing. He was so young, yet he obviously had great potential.

In fact, they believed that Mu Chen would surpass Mandela in the future, and the Mu Estate would become even more powerful because of him. At that time, they would have to depend on Mu Chen to get their status and resources.

"The Estate Master is gifted and has a great future ahead of him. We will rejoice in the future for the choice that we are making today!" Liu Tiandao exclaimed, his voice filled with respect. He truly meant it when he addressed Mu Chen as the Estate Master.

When the Netherworld Palace Master and the rest saw that Liu Tiandao had put aside his disputes with Mu Chen and was starting to curry favor with him, they looked down on him. Although they felt this disdain within themselves, outwardly, they nodded their heads in fake agreement.

When Mandela saw the changes in them, she curled up her lips. From now on, these people would know where they stood.

That was to say, from this moment onward, they would put down their pride and ill-intentions in order to recognize and respect Mu Chen as their master. Thus, they would become his loyal subjects!

"This guy…" Luo Tianshen looked at the chaotic Luo River, then turned to look at Mu Chen.

His performance was so amazing that even Luo Tianshen was taken by surprise. In fact, he was speechless when he saw that Mu Chen had killed one Lower Earthly Sovereign and injured two others of the same level!

Many years back, when he last saw Mu Chen, he was still young and weak. However, Luo Tianshen could tell that he was determined and strong-headed.

Back then, he had felt that Mu Chen would become powerful one day, and he was obviously right in his judgment! However, he had not expected the day to come so soon, so he had not been prepared and was quite surprised that Mu Chen had become so powerful in only four years!

As Luo Tianshen looked at Mu Chen, his heart thumped quickly. He was glad that he did not behave arrogantly and suppress Mu Chen when he took Luo Li away from him back then. If he had done that, it would be embarrassing for him now!

"One would rather trifle with an old man than bully a youth!" Luo Tianshen exclaimed.

The three Earthly Sovereigns from the Royal Divisions of the Luo God Clan who were hemming in Luo Tianlong stopped suddenly when they saw Mu Chen's performance. They looked at one another in shock upon seeing that Xue Tong and Xue Shou had been seriously injured.

"Hahaha, this guy is amazing!" Luo Tianlong laughed heartily and his eyes brightened. He then said, "No wonder Luo Li misses him so much. She has such good taste!"

Having said that, he looked coldly at the three Earthly Sovereigns from the Royal Divisions and added, "The Blood God Clan doesn't seem to be as powerful as one would think."

When the three Earthly Sovereigns heard this, they turned pale. However, they still went ahead and said, "Although this guy is powerful, he may be past his prime now."

Luo Tianlong sneered and ignored them. He continued to look at Mu Chen with admiration. After all, he liked Mu Chen's ruthless means!

…

Everyone in the area was amazed. After a long while, they turned to look at Xue Lingzi, who was staring at Mu Chen with immense killing intent. He was so angry, he was trembling.

"You good-for-nothing fools! The three of you are trash! Where have your years of cultivation gone? How could you allow yourselves to be bashed up by this fella?" Xue Lingzi shouted angrily, venting his anger at Xue Tong and Xue Shou mercilessly.

Although they were shamed and embarrassed by his words, they held their tongues. The three of them had joined forces to deal with Mu Chen, but instead of killing him, one of them had been killed, while the other two had been seriously injured. If the people heard of this, they would become laughing stocks!

"All of you take him on and kill him!" Xue Lingzi said in a cold voice. He looked grimly at Xue Tong and Xue Shou, as well as the other two Lower Earthly Sovereigns from the Blood God Clan. Although Xue Tong and Xue Shou looked pale, they forced themselves to get up.

"The three of you as well, you cannot even handle one person! If you wish to die, I can grant you that wish!" Xue Lingzi then unleashed his wrath on the three Earthly Sovereigns from the Royal Divisions of the Luo God Clan.

When the three Lower Earthly Sovereigns heard his words, they turned pale. They dared not go against Xue Lingzi, as he was filled with immense killing intent at the moment.

So, they gritted their teeth and two of them moved to appear beside Xue Tong and Xue Shou. The other two Earthly Sovereigns from the Blood God Clan appeared instantly as well, making a total of six Lower Earthly Sovereigns who were standing before Mu Chen. Although half of them were seriously injured, the collective array was still overpowering.

Wow!

There was an uproar in Luo God City. The forces that were looking at the fight were cursing the Blood God Clan, as the Blood God Clan was despicable and shameless. However, even though the top powers in the Luo God Clan were angry, they could not do anything to Xue Lingzi.

"The winner takes it all. If we allow ourselves to get upset over what others say, we will not have the chance to make a comeback." Xue Lingzi sneered at the people.

He then looked gloomily at Mu Chen and asked, "Brat, don't you have a lot of trump cards? Try crippling all of them, then we will submit to you!"

When Mu Chen heard this request, he smiled and said, "You are so ambitious. I would rather prefer kill you than have you as my subject, though!"

"You are still so stubborn, even when facing death!" Xue Lingzi looked at him coldly.

Mu Chen shrugged and looked nonchalantly at the six Lower Earthly Sovereigns. He smiled and asked, "Are you sure that I will be the one to die?"

"Oh?" Xue Lingzi mocked him and asked, "Do you think you are capable of dealing with six Lower Earthly Sovereigns?"

Mu Chen looked at the six Lower Earthly Sovereigns again and suddenly said, "It seems to me that you have forgotten what I said earlier."

Xue Lingzi frowned, then asked him coldly, "What was that? What dirty tricks are you up to now?"

Mu Chen looked down and said flatly, "I told you that my name is Mu Chen, the Master of Mu Estate."

Xue Lingzi sneered. "What are you talking about? I have never heard of the Mu Estate."

Mu Chen lifted up his head and curled up his lips. When Xue Lingzi saw this, he suddenly felt uneasy.

"Since I am the Master of Mu Estate, do you think I am the only one around? Don't you think that I can summon my people as well?" Having said that, Mu Chen lifted up his hand and waved it up, then down.

The moment Mu Chen let down his hand, a space warp formed behind him. Several figures with vast spiritual energy fluctuations stepped out into the sky and appeared behind him.

Xue Lingzi suddenly turned pale and gasped in disbelief. His entire body trembled and he suddenly became fearful…
