Chapter 663: The Powerful Mo Wen
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen ran out of the ancient city swiftly. In just an instant, he traveled more than a hundred feet. He could hear the roars of the chasing pack of monstrous beasts.
There were monstrous beasts, all above the seventh level, in the air in front of him. They blocked Mo Wen’s path, disregarding their own life.
However, those monstrous beasts posed too little danger to Mo Wen now. Unless they were monstrous beasts at the pinnacle of the seventh level, they were no threat to him.
There was a flicker of purple light in his hand and the Cries of Hades Bell appeared. Then, the chiming of the bell began. Even though it was not loud, all the seventh level monstrous beasts in a hundred-mile radius exploded. They turned into sparkling starlight and entered Mo Wen’s body.
The power of a profound level weapon was evident.
Suddenly, a high-pitched cry resounded. It was the Cyan Light Eagle, the fastest of the three mythical beasts. It was the king of the air. It flapped its wings so rapidly that its figure was blurred. Even though it had set off from the altar after Mo Wen, it had caught up with him in the time it took for just a few breaths.
The Cyan Light Eagle began to attack Mo Wen as soon as it appeared. It was a Lord Monstrous Beast and its combat ability was enough to make a cultivator at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm feel afraid. However, a rush of power flooded out of Mo Wen’s body. He was not at all afraid of the Cyan Light Eagle. He had a cultivation level that was close to the peak of the Golden Elixir realm and also possessed many treasures. Mo Wen could fight this Lord Monstrous Beast.
Whoosh Whoosh Whoos.h.!.+
There was a loud whistling sound in the air. An enormous cyan colored blade of wind descended from above. It looked as if it could tear the s.p.a.ce apart. It quickly appeared above Mo Wen. Its terrifying power caused the s.p.a.ce around it to twist slightly.
Mo Wen turned his wrist and the Sacred Fire Sword appeared. The sword emitted a ray of light and it hurtled toward the enormous cyan colored blade of wind, cras.h.i.+ng into it.
The Cyan Light Eagle soaring in the air was stunned. It seemed not to have expected that the human warrior would become so much stronger in the short amount of time since they had parted. Mo Wen had not dared to go head to head with it earlier, much less shown the ability to shatter its attack so easily.
Mo Wen ignored the Cyan Light Eagle. His figure flickered and he continued to fly outwards. He did not plan on staying in the ancient city for too long. Lord knows whether an accident would happen.
There was yet another series of high-pitched calls.
The Cyan Light Eagle grew anxious and kept calling out. It extended its wings and continued to chase after Mo Wen.
However, it did not attack Mo Wen so easily this time. Instead, waves of cyan light flowed out from its body incessantly. However, it did not release this light. A terrifying aura was emitted by the Cyan Light Eagle’s body. As time pa.s.sed, the aura grew stronger and stronger.
Mo Wen continued to focus on flying out of the city. He could sense the Cyan Light Eagle behind him and the power that could threaten him continued to grow. He could not help but frown.
Even further away, the Erupting Inferno Lion and Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin were also chasing after Mo Wen. They were not as fast as the Cyan Light Eagle and did not manage to catch up with him. However, they were both Lord Monstrous Beasts and their flying speeds were not slow. As long as the Cyan Light Eagle could continue to distract Mo Wen, they would have the chance to catch up with him and surround him.
Pei Fengwu and the other two could not compare to Mo Wen. They had already fallen far behind. It was not easy for them to leave the ancient city. There was a large number of ancient beasts surrounding them.
Mo Wen harrumphed lightly. A sudden wild gust of wind that enveloped him. Then, his figure disappeared. When he next appeared, he was ten thousand feet away, widening the distance between him and the Cyan Light Eagle.
The Cyan Light Eagle had not expected that that human warrior would have this ability. It was caught off guard and cried out anxiously. It chased after Mo Wen and, as it did so, opened its mouth, releasing a ball of cyan light.
The ball of cyan light melted into heaven and earth and a terrifying aura rushed into the air. The cyan light flickered and an endless amount of green light appeared in the air, each ray of light releasing a stunning amount of power.
The Cyan Light Eagle waved its ma.s.sive wings and the rays of cyan light gathered together, forming an enormous tornado. The tornado looked as if it could cut through heaven and earth and everything it touched would fall apart.
After the tornado appeared, the Cyan Light Eagle’s aura decreased and its eyes grew dark and listless. It was as if it turned from a vicious monstrous beast into a frail elderly person. It coughed out a mouthful of blood. Then, it spread out its wings and plunged into the terrifying tornado.
The light blade tornado merged with the Cyan Light Eagle. Then, the s.p.a.ce twisted and it disappeared.
When it appeared again, it was above Mo Wen’s head and was enveloping him from above.
“What attack is this?” Mo Wen was shocked by the incredible attack and the fact that it had been used on him from such a distance.
Could it be that this strange tornado was the Cyan Light Eagle’s special ability?
Mo Wen could sense a destructive aura in the tornado. It could kill a warrior at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm immediately.
If he had not killed the Beast King and gained a large increase in his cultivation, he would have been killed the Cyan Light Eagle’s attack. It would still be difficult for him to block this attack even now.
The terrifying tornado enveloped him from above. There was no time for him to dodge anymore. Mo Wen could only use the Five Beast Hoops to generate a golden s.h.i.+eld that enveloped him firmly.
Then, he used the Glory of Cloud technique to form a second defense. However, this was not enough. He had to use the Gray Mountain Peak as well. The Gray Mountain Peak turned into a mountain that s.h.i.+elded him. He looked as if he was standing inside the mountain.
The tornado descended with a crash. Indeed, the first layer of defense could not stop it. It did not last for even a second before collapsing entirely.
Then, the tornado crashed into the cloud of stars. This layer of defense did not last long either, the stars dispersing bit by bit.
The third layer of defense was the Gray Mountain Peak. This also was quickly overcome, collapsing piece by piece.
There was a glint of gold light in Mo Wen’s eyes. An enormous wave of inner Qi surged up from within his body. Then, his entire body turned gold. The gold light shone brightly onto the earth. He held onto the Sacred Fire Sword and stayed where he was. Then, he plunged into the terrifying tornado.
There was a faint spluttering. A disheveled cyan colored figure emerged from the tornado. It was the Cyan Light Eagle, that had been hiding inside the tornado.
There were dozens of wounds on the Cyan Light Eagle. They were all cuts made by a sword and were so deep one could see its bones. A part of one of its wings had even been cut.
Without the support of the Cyan Light Eagle, the tornado could not sustain itself. It dispersed slowly.
Mo Wen appeared from within the tornado. He held a long sword in his hand as he floated in the air. The gold light on his body flickered and he looked like a G.o.d of war. However, he was covered in a criss-cross of wounds. His clothes had been torn to shreds. Luckily, he was protected by the golden body so it was as if he was wearing a layer of gold armor.
However, the golden armor had been badly damaged.
The tornado had been terrifying. Numerous wind blades had cut Mo Wen the moment he had entered it. If it had not been for his immense defensive abilities, he would have been torn into shreds by the tornado.
The Cyan Light Eagle looked at Mo Wen in shock and fear. It had not expected that it would fail to kill Mo Wen under such circ.u.mstances.
The situation for the Lord Monstrous Beast did not look good. It did not have much strength to fight after its use of the attack and had been severely injured. The tornado was a skill it used to protect its life: it would not use it unless it was a matter of life and death.
Mo Wen took out a low-grade healing light from his medicine spiritual ring. There was a flash of red light and the visible cuts on his body healed quickly. He was completely healed in the blink of an eye. However, low-grade healing lights could only heal simple injuries. It could heal his superficial wounds. However, he had suffered serious internal injuries earlier when he entered the tornado.
Countless wind blades had torn through his body, damaging his organs and causing his internal injuries to worsen. A low-grade healing light could not heal him at all.
Mo Wen only had one mid-grade healing light. However, he had resisted temptation and not used it. He turned to look at the Cyan Light Eagle and there was a flicker of viciousness in his eyes.
He did not say anything else but flew up to the Cyan Light Eagle and cleaved down with his sword furiously.
A flash of shock and fear appeared in the Cyan Light Eagle’s eyes. However, it did not have the strength to retaliate at all. It had forced itself to the limit earlier to use the tornado attack.
There was a flash of gold light and the Cyan Light Eagle’s enormous head flew off its body. Its ma.s.sive body fell downwards. It turned into glitters of starlight before it could hit the ground and entered Mo Wen’s body. Mo Wen’s cultivation levels increased by a little again.
A ball of silver light appeared in front of Mo Wen. It was a mid-grade unsealing light. It was the object that the Cyan Light Eagle dropped after its death.
Mo Wen caught the mid-grade unsealing light. He did not hesitate at all and immediately unsealed the straw cape spiritual weapon. Even though the mysterious straw cape had fallen down the ranks of spiritual weapons, it was still a top grade spiritual weapon. In this s.p.a.ce, his speed would increase by at least five times with the straw cape.
There was a flash of black light and the straw cape appeared on Mo Wen’s body, covering him entirely. b.a.l.l.s of black light surged out from the straw cape. They twisted frantically and Mo Wen’s body looked as if it was an illusion and his aura suddenly increased.
The Cyan Light Eagle had risked its life to block Mo Wen. It had slowed him down, allowing the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin and Erupting Inferno Lion to catch up with him. They surrounded Mo Wen, one in front and one behind him.
However, the two mythical beasts did not dare to act suddenly. They had both sensed that this human warrior was now different. His aura was terrifying and he had already killed the Cyan Light Eagle.
“Scram or die.” Mo Wen looked at the two Lord Monstrous Beasts coldly. He believed that, with their intelligence, they could understand what he was saying. With his current cultivation levels and the treasures he had on him, he did not need to fear the Lord Monstrous Beasts, even in a battle situation. However, he did not wish to create more trouble. As such, he wanted to leave the ancient city as soon as possible.
Monstrous Beasts were bloodthirsty and craved battles. This was especially so for Lord Monstrous Beasts. They had always been high and mighty and were dignified and intelligent. Mo Wen’s statement had infuriated the two Lord Monstrous Beasts. They had been a little wary and had not dared to strike casually.
However, they roared angrily now. The hot-headed Erupting Inferno Lion was the first to strike. The flames on its body surged forth and it leaped at Mo Wen.
Mo Wen smirked. There was a flash of purple light. The Cries of Hades Bell appeared in his hand and released a dark light in the night sky.
