Chapter 708: Jade Hand Suppresses Demons
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The might of the Fire Scorpion Beast King caused a sense of danger to well up in Mo Wen’s heart. Among the Fire Domain’s Seven Major Beast Kings, the Fire Scorpion Beast King was ranked among the bottom few. But now, even the weakest Fire Domain’s Beast King was powerful to this extent. What would the strongest Beast King be like?
How much more powerful were the Peac.o.c.k Beast King, the Dragon Beast King, and the mysterious Beast King that had yet to show its face?
Even though there were many Martial Arts Grandmasters among the humans, there weren’t many who could put up a fight against such powerful Beast Kings. The ordinary Martial Arts Grandmasters would most likely be killed in an instant when faced with such terrifying beasts.
The Blazing Divine Dragon hovered over the sky, then it pounced. With a sweep, its tail whipped towards Mo Wen forcefully.
Everywhere the dragon tail reached, the s.p.a.ce distorted and some unlucky illusionary beasts were instantly turned into dust. There were even a few Beast Kings among the dead. They could not resist the power of the Blazing Divine Dragon.
Bolts of lightning lit up; Mo Wen’s figure flashed past and disappeared from his original spot. When he appeared again, he was a hundred meters away, nimbly dodging the Divine Dragon’s attack.
However, the Divine Dragon was the most nimble creature in heaven and on earth. Its long dragon figure twisted slightly, adjusting its trajectory. In an instant, it pounced on Mo Wen, opening its mouth furiously and biting down.
A crimson light flashed and Mo Wen’s left arm became a dragon claw. The dragon claw clenched into a fist and sent a punch exploding out.
A dragon-shaped image and a tiger-shaped image appeared behind Mo Wen. The roar of dragons and tigers sounded, the sound shaking everything in a ten-kilometer radius.
The Dragon Tiger Overlord Fist!
With Mo Wen’s current cultivation, when he once again released the Dragon Tiger Overlord Fist, he almost unleashed the might of this fist technique to its utmost limit.
The heights of his Inner Qi cultivation and the power of his flesh combined and an absolute power surged out.
A dragon and a tiger were embedded in Mo Wen’s fists and the roars of dragons and tigers could be heard. This was Mo Wen’s first time unleas.h.i.+ng the Dragon Tiger Overlord Fist.
His fist and the mouth of the Blazing Divine Dragon collided. A huge rumble sounded. Mo Wen’s figure was sent back, and the dragon-shaped image and tiger-shaped image surrounding him gradually dissipated. The Blazing Divine Dragon, on the other hand, was stopped, having been forcefully knocked back.
A black light flashed and a graceful silhouette appeared nearby. It was Nangong Mingzhu who had rushed over. An ancient mirror was floating above her head, constantly emitting beams of black flames. It formed a circle of black flames which glowed around her.
When she pointed her finger, the Black Flame Mirror floating above her head immediately flew out like a black meteor. It furiously collided with the Blazing Divine Dragon’s head. Under the concussion of the terrifying power, the Blazing Divine Dragon was sent flying backward.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows as he looked towards Nangong Mingzhu. He could sense a terrifying power coming from her. Her cultivation was most likely far above his own. After all, Nangong Mingzhu was an absolute strong pract.i.tioner who was comparable to a second realm Martial Arts Grandmaster. She was also an immortal cultivator. Under the same conditions, the speed she improved at was far above his.
“A medium grade profound level weapon, and also a Natal Spiritual Treasure at that.”
A look of astonishment flashed past in his eyes. He could tell that this ancient Black Flame Mirror was a medium grade profound level weapon. It was also a Natal Spiritual Treasure that Nangong Mingzhu had cultivated over time. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to have such astonis.h.i.+ng might. Although its might was weaker than that of the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, when Nangong Mingzhu unleashed this Black Flame Mirror, its might was almost the same as some human ancient martial art pract.i.tioner top grade profound level weapons.
A thoughtful look flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. To be able to have a medium grade profound level weapon as a Natal Spiritual Treasure meant that Nangong Mingzhu was extremely powerful and had a complex ident.i.ty. Although Chu Yuan also had a medium grade profound level weapon, the Profundity Shattering Grindstone, his medium grade profound level weapon was not his Natal Spiritual Treasure and had not undergone years of cultivating. It was far inferior to Nangong Mingzhu’s in terms of both the power it could unleash or the dexterity of its use.
As for Chu Yuan having a medium grade profound level weapon, but not cultivating it to become his Natal Spiritual Treasure, Mo Wen somewhat understood this point. With Chu Yuan’s status, he had no qualification to own such a valuable treasure like a medium grade profound level weapon at all. Even if he was a member of the Ghost Lair, it was impossible for him to simply get his hands on such a treasure.
Even the Alchemist from the Divine Pill Sect who had taught Mo Wen alchemy and had Primordial Soul realm cultivation had only possessed a low-grade profound level weapon.
Even an ordinary Primordial Soul realm immortal cultivator would have a hard time obtaining a medium grade profound level weapon. No matter how powerful the Ghost Lair was, it was impossible for them to give a medium grade profound level weapon to a Golden Elixir Realm immortal cultivator such as Chu Yuan.
Hence, the Profundity Shattering Grindstone was not Chu Yuan’s personal item Instead, it was a treasure that had been lent to him by the Ghost Lair for the mission to obtain the spiritual fire. After the mission was complete, he still had to return it.
For Chu Yuan and the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners that wielded profound level weapons, the profound level weapons were not their personal belongings. Instead, they were valuable treasures that belonged to their respective sects. They only had the right to use them, but not own them.
Given that Nangong Mingzhu could cultivate the Black Flame Mirror as her own Natal Spiritual Treasure, it was obvious that it was her own personal treasure.
“We have no time to waste. Let’s kill it together,” Mo Wen said plainly as he glanced at Nangong Mingzhu. Right now, only one Fire Domain’s Beast King had appeared. If they could kill the Fire Scorpion Beast King first, the pressure on them would be greatly reduced.
Although he did not know why the other Fire Domain’s Beast Kings had not appeared, it was obvious that the opportunity to kill the Fire Scorpion Beast King was right in front of them now. Maybe it would be difficult for him to kill it alone, but together with Nangong Mingzhu, killing the Fire Scorpion Beast King should not be a difficult feat.
“You want to join forces to kill me? You sure are dreaming,” the Fire Scorpion Beast King said with a cold smile. Its words had just been uttered when a beam of red light appeared near Nangong Mingzhu. The speed of the red light was extremely fast. In an instant, it had circled Nangong Mingzhu once. A red tornado swept up, enveloping Nangong Mingzhu.
Mo Wen narrowed his gaze as his eyes sparkled with golden light. He could clearly see that the red tornado contained a huge snake helixing upwards. The huge snake was one to two thousand meters long. Its head had a single horn which glowed with a brilliant red light.
The huge snake was opening its big b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and trying to bite Nangong Mingzhu.
“The Fire Snake King!”
A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. The huge creature was the Fire Snake King. It had grown several times larger and emanated a rather frightening aura from its body. It had already far surpa.s.sed the Peac.o.c.k Beast King and the Dragon Beast King.
“It has actually appeared again. The Tower Spirit did not lie. As expected, it is the Seven Major Beast Kings.”
Mo Wen laughed bitterly. Before this, he had been considering whether the Fire Domain’s Seven Major Beast Kings mentioned by the Tower Spirit would only be six Beast Kings. In the ancient city, the Fire Snake King had escaped after being injured. It had not entered the Fighting Spirit Tower along with the Peac.o.c.k Beast King and the others.
Initially, Mo Wen had thought that there were only six Beast Kings in the Fighting Spirit Tower, including the mysterious Beast King which had been the first to enter. It was now clear that the Tower Spirit had no intention of leaving the Fire Snake King out.
With the Tower Spirit’s ability, as long as the Fire Snake King was still in the ancient city, it would have easily been able to catch the Fire Snake King and bring it into the Fighting Spirit Tower.
The expression of the Fire Snake King was hideous. It bit continued its attempts to bite Nangong Mingzhu.
“Brute.” Nangong Mingzhu’s eyes turned cold. A beam of black light shone out from her body. A black gale enveloped her, blocking the red tornado. At the same time, she extended her slender hand. At first, her hand was fair-skinned, but the next moment, beams of jade light s.h.i.+mmered on her hand. Suddenly, its color changed. It looked nothing like a human hand; instead, it looked like a jade palm. Nangong Mingzhu’s right hand seemed to have been fossilized into jade.
The palm extended forward, becoming bigger. Halos of warm jade light spread. By the time the hand appeared in front of the Fire Snake King, it was the size of a hill.
The jade hand grabbed the mouth of the Fire Snake King. It furiously pressed down directly on the huge snakehead. The huge figure crashed into the fire cloud. The jade hand pressed down on the huge figure, like the Five Finger Mountains.
The red tornado that connected the heavens and the earth disappeared, leaving only the huge jade hand pressing down firmly on the enormous Fire Snake King.
The Fire Scorpion Beast King was shocked. It looked cautiously at Nangong Mingzhu. It had not expected that this woman would be so powerful. Although the Fire Snake King had the lowest cultivation of the Seven Major Beast Kings, it was not much weaker than the Fire Scorpion Beast King. Yet, it had been suppressed by this woman in an instant.
“Such remarkable power.” Mo Wen looked at Nangong Mingzhu in awe. This woman was truly powerful; even the powers that she practiced were remarkable. The bizarre jade hand was most likely more powerful than an ordinary rite of pa.s.sage martial art.
If she had not encountered a Pinnacle Beast King, she would likely have had the ability to last until the end if she had not encountered a pinnacle Beast King.
Roar!
The Fire Snake King’s eyes were blood red. It had not expected that it would be suppressed the moment it joined the fight, and so pathetically at that.
Originally, it was preparing to run away from the ancient city. It had not expected that it would be captured by the Tower Spirit and be brought to the Fighting Spirit Tower to inexplicably be involved in a battle of life and death. One could imagine its frustration.
Originally, the Fire Snake King believed that with its current cultivation, it could easily crush the human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners. It never expected that it would suffer such a loss once it attacked.
Roar! Roar!
The Fire Snake King’s thousand-meter long body furiously struggled, moving the earth and causing the mountains to tremble. Beams of red light shone out from its body, emanating terrifying heatwaves. Within a radius of a thousand meters, the illusionary beasts that could not escape in time were scorched to death by the aura it emanated.
The jade hand that was the size of a small hill shook. Cracks began to appear on its surface. It seemed that it could not withstand the struggling of the Fire Snake King. The power of this thousand meter long Beast King was practically too terrifying.
“All you f*ckers come out. I want to kill all the humans here.”
The Fire Snake King cursed out loud. On its gigantic body, ancient runes surfaced one by one. It was none other than the Devil Bone Runes.
As soon as the Devil Bone Runes appeared, the jade hand finally crumbled completely, unable to suppress the Fire Snake King.
However, within this short delay, Nangong Mingzhu had once again attacked. The Black Flame Mirror flashed past and the next moment, it appeared on top of the Fire Snake King.
“Each of us takes one. Whoever kills the Beast King first wins.”
Nangong Mingzhu gave Mo Wen a look. Then with a flash of black light, she pounced on the Fire Snake King.
Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. Nangong Mingzhu actually wanted to compete with him. Moreover, it was a compet.i.tion to see who could kill a Fire Domain’s Beast King first.
“Do I get a prize if I win?” Mo Wen said with a smile.
The Fire Domain’s Beast Kings were the common enemies of all human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners. Nangong Mingzhu was indeed confident. She actually wanted to kill a Fire Domain’s Beast King with her own strength. At the moment, many human ancient martial art pract.i.tioners were still quite far away from them. It would most likely take a while for them to slaughter their way through here.
