Chapter 664: Tailing Behind
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Cries of Hades Bell was a profound level weapon. Normally, Mo Wen couldn’t unleash its might, but in this s.p.a.ce he could. The might of a profound level weapon was rather frightening.
The aura of the Cries of Hades Bell had just appeared when the Erupting Inferno Lion immediately s.h.i.+vered in fear, stiffening as it pounced towards Mo Wen.
Ding!
A ring gently sounded. This time, Mo Wen did not just simply activate the Cries of Hades Bell again. Instead, he combined it with his terrifying soul power and unleashed a soul attack with the Divine Soul Trillion Layers in unison.
A formless wave instantly covered an area a thousand meters in radius. In the area that it covered, all the monstrous beasts froze where they were. Then, like fireworks, they exploded one by one, becoming specks of starlight. The starlight swarmed towards Mo Wen.
As the center of the wave, the Erupting Inferno Lion was affected the most. Its figure quavered, its entire huge figure frozen to the spot. Its eyes were dull. It was like a flaming statue.
Only after freezing for a second did the Erupting Inferno Lion furiously spit out a few mouthfuls of blood. Its eyes had a slight look of consciousness.
A silhouette had already silently appeared before the Erupting Inferno Lion. The Sacred Flame Sword in its hand unleashed a breathtaking light. With a flash, it brutally sliced towards the neck of the Erupting Inferno Lion.
Wail! Roar!
The eyes of the Erupting Inferno Lion were full of terror. It wanted to run, but right now it was already too late. It raised its head and roared at the sky. Golden flames instantly enveloped its entire body. It circulated its power with all its might, intending to mobilize more of its power to block Mo Wen’s attack.
However, it discovered that after the attack from the Cries of Hades Bell, its mind was still in shambles. Its soul had been severely injured. In the rush of the moment, it was hard to even mobilize half of its previous power.
With a swoosh, the lion’s head flew off its body. The huge head was still burning with torrents of golden flame. Its majesty was no longer present. Its eyes only had deep fear and despair.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
A flaming meteorite descended from the sky, brutally smas.h.i.+ng towards Mo Wen. The Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin had already attacked. It had wanted to provide support to the Erupting Inferno Lion, but everything just now had happened too fast. Moreover, although the attack from the Cries of Hades Bell was not directed at it, the terrifying wave still affected a Lord Monstrous Beast such as itself. Hence, the timing of its attack was a beat too slow.
By the time it managed to react, it was already too late to stop Mo Wen.
Mo Wen naturally would not take the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin’s attack head-on. With a flash of golden light, his silhouette disappeared from its spot. The flaming meteorite barely grazed past him, smas.h.i.+ng into the ground with a loud rumble. A Qi wave swept past, and a hundred-meter wide crater appeared in the ground. A few monstrous beasts with lower cultivation around the area died from this unexpected calamity.
“A profound level weapon! How can this be?” From afar, Gong Zhangyan looked over with an expression of astonishment. Although he was far away, he could more or less detect what the battle situation was.
When the Cries of Hades Bell appeared, he felt a terror that was enough to make his skin crawl. The terrifying power absolutely had the ability to kill him in an instant. He would never have imagined that Mo Wen actually had a profound level weapon!
A profound level weapon! Their sect also had one, but that was an absolutely valuable treasure. Only the sect leader could wield it. This time, when they came to carry out this important mission, only his grandfather, as a Sect Grand Elder, was qualified to use such an important treasure.
How could Mo Wen possibly have such an item in his hands? It was almost impossible for an item such as a profound level weapon to appear in the hands of an ancient martial art pract.i.tioner of the younger generation. Even people with backgrounds like those of Hao Qian and Hou Jingfeng did not have profound level weapons.
Pei Fengwu was also shocked beyond belief. An important treasure such as a profound level weapon had actually appeared in the hands of a youth ancient martial art pract.i.tioner like Mo Wen. She had already felt that Mo Wen was mysterious. Now she was convinced that there was more to him than met the eye.
Hou Jingfeng had a sullen look as he stared over at the battle in disbelief. He had long known that Mo Wen had a profound level weapon on him, but Pei Fengwu and Gong Zhangyan had overlooked one point. In this world, a profound level weapon could only be used after it was unsealed.
Only by obtaining a top grade Unsealing Light could one unseal a profound level weapon. Of the three major tools, the Unsealing Light was the hardest to find. So far, he had yet to see anyone obtain a top-grade Unsealing Light. Even the Ming Temple’s two Sect Grand Elders had not managed to obtain a top-grade Unsealing Light.
Mo Wen’s cultivation was the same as his. Even if he currently was bafflingly more powerful, he still should not have the ability to obtain a top-grade Unsealing Light.
After evading the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin’s flaming meteorite, Mo Wen’s silhouette appeared close by. His face was pale and spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Although the might of a profound level weapon in this s.p.a.ce was astonis.h.i.+ng, its consumption of Inner Qi was also rather astonis.h.i.+ng. The attack just now almost completely drained his Inner Qi and soul power. He already had internal injuries. Now that he had received such trauma again, his old injuries had worsened.
With a flick of his wrist, a low-grade Recovery Light appeared in his hand. A blue light flashed and his Inner Qi immediately recovered by a fifth. He hastily used a second one, and then a third.
With his current cultivation, a low-grade Recovery Light would not allow Mo Wen to instantly recover all of his Inner Qi. At most, it could only recover a fifth of it. After using five consecutively, only then did his Inner Qi completely recover.
Although he had a medium grade Recovery Light, in such a situation, he was reluctant to use it. He only had one medium grade Recovery Light. It could save his life at a key moment so Mo Wen wanted to keep it in reserve.
The Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin kept staring at Mo Wen, but it did not dare to unleash another attack. A faint look of terror lingered in its eyes.
The Cyan Light Eagle and the Erupting Inferno Lion had already died at the hands of Mo Wen, one after another. This had made the Final Lord Monstrous Beast develop a sense of fear towards this human ancient martial art pract.i.tioner.
Mo Wen wiped away the bloodstains from the corner of his mouth. He coldly laughed and slowly looked towards the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin.
What surprised Mo Wen was that the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin actually roared softly in panic. Then, its huge figure sank, directly cras.h.i.+ng into the ground. Then, beams of yellow light flashed from its body. The figure of the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin slowly sank. The earth tumbled. After a while, it had sunk into the ground, disappearing without a trace.
Mo Wen was speechless. The illusionary beasts created by the Tower Spirit were miraculous. They were actually so real. They knew fear and knew how to escape.
With items such as the Recovery Lights and the Healing Lights, if Mo Wen continued to battle, he indeed had the ability to kill the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin.
A ma.s.s of blue light appeared near Mo Wen’s figure. It was the item dropped from the Erupting Inferno Lion.
A medium grade Recovery Light! It could cause a pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art pract.i.tioner to instantly recover all their Inner Qi. Mo Wen already had one on him. Now he had two.
The three remaining Lord Monstrous Beasts had each been dealt with. He had killed two of them while the final one had fled. Mo Wen did not encounter any more resistance and was easily able to fly out of the ancient city.
Mo Wen had just flown out of the ancient city when he coldly snorted and gazed behind him. “Humph, come out. You are sneakily following me. What are your intentions?” Mo Wen’s sensory ability was now so high that even a Martial Arts Grandmaster did not have the ability to hide from him. His current soul power had already exceeded the realm of an ordinary Martial Arts Grandmaster.
A cold voice sounded, “How can you say that we are sneaky? We are allies. Now that the task is completed, we naturally need to gather together.” A figure emerged. It was none other than Hou Jingfeng. Behind Hou Jingfeng, another silhouette walked out. It was Gong Zhangyan. His face had an even colder look. He looked at Mo Wen, not saying a word.
“I never took you for an ally,” Mo Wen said coldly.
“Regardless of whether you consider us allies, now that the task is complete, hand over the Beast King’s Treasure Box. It is the reward for this task. It should be shared amongst all of us.”
Hou Jingfeng looked at the Beast King’s Treasure Box in Mo Wen’s arms. A look of greed flashed in his eyes. He was certain that there was treasure in the Beast King’s Treasure Box. Before when he approached the altar, the Beast King’s Treasure Box was so difficult to obtain. The items inside it would certainly be powerful.
Originally, even Hou Jingfeng had thoughts about giving up. What he had not expected was that Mo Wen had actually succeeded. The Beast King’s Treasure Box was right before his eyes. The cogs in his mind started turning again.
“Share?”
Mo Wen’s mouth curled into a mocking smile as he said, “Who are you to be qualified to share treasures with me?”
“We completed the task together. Could it be that you intend to pocket the treasure for yourself?”
Hou Jingfeng’s expression turned sullen as he exchanged a glance with Gong Zhangyan. A strange look flashed in both of their eyes. Mo Wen would not easily hand over the Beast King’s Treasure Box. They were already mentally prepared for this.
“Both of you are not qualified to get the Beast King’s Treasure Box. After relying on me to complete the Tower Spirit’s task, you are actually not satisfied and still covet the Beast King’s Treasure Box. You both are laughable.” Mo Wen shook his head. The greed of humanity was truly frightening.
The two of them clearly knew his abilities and still dared to come over and demand the treasure. They clearly did not know the meaning of the word “death”.
“Humph. Mo Wen, don’t think that I do not know. You killed the Cyan Light Eagle and the Erupting Inferno Lion one after another. Your body is already severely injured. Even if your Inner Qi has completely recovered using the Recovery Lights, your body is still wounded. If I and Gong Zhangyan were to join forces, you would not be a match for us. You might even get even more injured, causing your body to completely crumble. When that happens, you wouldn’t even be able to cry if you wanted to.”
Hou Jingfeng looked sinisterly at Mo Wen. He couldn’t wait to kill him and take all of his treasures. But he knew that even if Mo Wen was currently severely injured, he absolutely could not be underestimated.
Mo Wen had all sorts of spiritual weapons on him and even possessed profound level weapons. Once Mo Wen got desperate, he would most likely use these weapons, dragging them along to their graves.
The reason why Hou Jingfeng had dared to come over was that he saw that Mo Wen had very severe internal injuries. The internal injuries could not be cured within a short amount of time and were even worsening.
Although Mo Wen had used the low-grade Recovery Lights to recover all his Inner Qi, he could not use the low-grade Healing Lights to treat his internal injuries. The power of low-grade Healing Lights could not be used stacked. Only a medium grade Healing Light could immediately cure wounds of this degree.
Hou Jingfeng did not think that Mo Wen had a medium grade Healing Light. Low-grade Healing Lights were easy drops, but medium grade Healing Lights were difficult drops. Before this, Mo Wen had killed two Lord Monstrous Beasts, and even then, no medium grade Healing Lights had dropped.
Knowing about Mo Wen’s ability, they had only dared to come over because they were sure that he did not have any medium grade Healing Lights.
