The moment Jianchen and Ku Mu struck out, the elders of the Earth Spirit sect all narrowed their eyes. Not only did they focus on the battle between the two of them, but they even expanded the senses of their souls into the surroundings of the stage. They wanted to see the battle between the two of them clearly without missing a single trace.
This was because this was an unprecedented battle where an Overgod challenged a Godking. Even with the entire Saints' World in perspective, a battle like this was extremely rare.
After all, basically all the people who had the right to challenge a Divine King as Overgods were supreme prodigies who ranked in the top ten of the Overgods' Plaque.
Even the divine king and the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect stared at the stage. They wanted to personally witness whether Jianchen possessed the legendary strength to defeat a Divine King of the northern region as an Overgod.
Boom!
Under everyone's close attention, Jianchen and elder Mu finally clashed for the first time. A violent rumble immediately erupted in the stage as powerful ripples of energy wreaked havoc in a visible shockwave.
Jianchen and Mu Ku both used laws to protect themselves. Energy flickered on their bodies as they stood as still as mountains.
Not only did Jianchen block Mu Ku's full-powered strike perfectly, but he even seemed to be evenly matched with Mu Ku.
Mu Ku's eyes immediately narrowed after the strike. His gaze towards Jianchen finally became stern.
He truly understood Jianchen's strength from the clash this time. He understood that Jianchen was not just famous. Instead, he really did possess the strength to fight against a Divine King.
Jianchen was emotionless. His eyes shone with icy-cold light. They were as sharp as swords. He stopped elder Mu's staff with the Startling Rainbow sword as he formed a seal with his other hand. Immediately, a strand of golden sword Qi condensed above his head. It radiated with powerful sword intent.
The sword intent was so powerful that even elder Mu's expression changed slightly as a Divine King.
He could clearly sense that the golden sword Qi above Jianchen's head was so powerful that it could threaten him.
Elder Mu reacted extremely quickly. As soon as Jianchen condensed the Daluo Sword, he bellowed out and suddenly retreated. At the same time, he swung his staff. Strands of the power of laws wove together, rapidly condensing into a huge piece of wood.
When the wood appeared, the might of the world immediately accompanied it. The power within it was so great that it was enough to make any early Divine King of the Earth Spirit sect change their expression.
Jianchen's Daluo Sword had directly forced Mu Ku to use a battle skill as well.
"Mu Ku has actually used a battle skill. It looks like Jianchen really does have some ability. He's actually forced a Divine King to use a battle skill as an Overgod …"
"He really is someone who can contend for first place on the Overgods' Plaque after all. He really is very powerful. Jianchen really does live up to his name …"
"So what if he doesn't live up to his name? Although the prodigies who rank towards the top of the Overgods' Plaque possess the right to kill a Divine King, that's only an ordinary Divine King. Mu Ku is not an ordinary Divine King. He has comprehended the various cultivation methods and battle skills of our Earth Spirit sect. Although he's not one of the most powerful early Divine King, he's no ordinary person either … "
"That's right. If Mu Ku didn't use a battle skill, Jianchen would indeed be able to match Mu Ku. However, since Mu Ku has used a battle skill, Jianchen is definitely going to lose …"
Many of the Divine King elders of the Earth Spirit sect sighed in amazement. This was the first time they had seen such a powerful Overgod fight a Divine King as an Overgod and force a Divine King to use a battle skill.
After all, they had only heard rumours about battles between Overgods and Divine Kings in the past.
Moreover, many of the rumours were exaggerated.
However, when the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect saw how Mu Ku not only did not follow his orders, but he also became more and more valiant as he fought, as if he would not give up until he defeated Jianchen, his eyes could not help but become rather sunken.
"Go!"
At this moment, Mu Ku called out from the ring. As he extended a finger, the huge piece of wood immediately shone with green light. It turned into a streak of light and shot towards Jianchen with unbelievable speed.
Boom!
The huge piece of wood collided with the Daluo Sword, erupting with a deafening sound. The entire ring shook violently from their attacks, and web-like cracks appeared on the ground.
However, Jianchen's attacks were as violent as a storm. Before the first wave had even subsided, another wave rose up. As soon as the Daluo Sword collided with the huge piece of wood, a streak of light enveloped Jianchen's body. Afterwards, he turned into a bolt of lightning and shot off with unbelievable speed.
"How is Jianchen so powerful? He's even blocked Old Man's battle skill. He's only an Overgod," Mu Ku sighed in amazement at Jianchen's strength. He knew that with the ancestor's orders, he could only lose this battle. However, he did not want to lose too miserably.
Originally, he wanted to use his cultivation as a Divine King to heavily injure Jianchen before giving up on resisting before everyone, 'losing' to Jianchen like that.
He wanted to tell everyone just how helpless and powerless he was about to lose. It was not because he was not Jianchen's opponent.
However, he had never thought that Jianchen's strength would completely exceed his expectations. He had already used his full strength and even used his battle skill, but he was still able to match Jianchen. He did not gain any advantage at all.
However, just as Mu Ku sighed in amazement, his eyes suddenly narrowed. A streak of light suddenly shot over with unbelievable speed from up ahead. It pierced through elder Mu Ku's body in a single instance.
It was fast. It was just far too fast. The streak of light was so fast that even with Mu Ku's cultivation as a Divine King, he was unable to catch it with his naked eye. Although he could sense it with the senses of his soul, he did not have any time to react at such a short distance.
Mu Ku's body stiffened. He lowered his head as he stared at the bowl-sized hole in his chest in shock.
He struggled to accept this outcome!
How did this happen … "
"What secret technique did Jianchen use earlier? It's actually so fast …"
.....
Outside the ring, all the elders of the Earth Spirit sect were shocked as well. Such an outcome had completely exceeded their expectations as well.
"Mu Ku has lost this battle." The ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect stood up and announced the outcome of the battle. At the same time, he finally let out a sigh of relief inside.
"Jianchen, according to the rules from before, Mu Ku's life is now up to you to decide," the ancestor said to Jianchen. At the same time, he removed the barrier around the stage.
"Jianchen, are you fine?" The divine king appeared before Jianchen silently and asked in concern.
"Thank you for your concern, your majesty. I'm fine," said Jianchen. Then he looked at Mu Ku as cold light flickered through his eyes.
Mu Ku turned around in a daze. He stared at Jianchen with gloomy eyes and said, "Jianchen, do it." With that, Mu Ku closed his eyes and fell silent.
"Brother Jianchen, please show mercy and spare Su Mu Ku's life. We will definitely be eternally grateful …"
"Brother Jian Chen, please spare us. We're willing to compensate you in other ways. We just hope that you spare Mu Ku's life …"
.....
Many of the Divine King's elders in the Earth Spirit sect pleaded for mercy.
Even the master of the Earth Spirit sect looked at the ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect, hoping that he could step forward and save Mu Ku.
The Divine King was a pillar of support for the Earth Spirit sect. He was extremely valued.
The ancestor of the Earth Spirit sect remained emotionless. He said nothing.
