Bu Xingyi’s move was sinister. It would not matter if Mo Wen won, but if he failed, then Mo Wen could well find himself facing a difficult situation.
Even though it was Bu Xingyi’s uselessness that had caused the problem, twisting the facts in this way could place Mo Wen in danger. Anyway, the human warriors who were not part of the task would not know exactly what had happened. It would not be difficult for the great elder of the Ming Temple to use his influence to smear the reputation of a nameless young man.
Mo Wen looked at Bu Xingyi coldly and a murderous flash of light glinted in his eyes. The old fogey had no shame.
“Mo Wen, you refused to lend me your profound level weapon earlier which caused me to fail the task. If you try to seek revenge for a personal matter now and do not try your best, losing intentionally to the beast king, then you will be the only one held responsible for the incident. You have to think this through. I don’t believe that you, who have three profound level weapons, cannot defeat a beast king. I hope that you will think of the bigger picture.”
Bu Xingyi put his hands behind his back, looking solemn. However, his thoughts were sinister.
If Mo Wen failed when he challenged the beast king, then Bu Xingyi now had a way to push all the blame onto Mo Wen. Then, all the other warriors who did not know exactly what had happened would all only hold Mo Wen responsible.
Bu Xingyi smiled maliciously. He hoped that Mo Wen would lose to the beast king, allowing him to turn the crowd against Mo Wen.
“Shameless!” Gao Hanshan took a deep breath. He had not expected that Bu Xingyi would be so brazen. He had no limits at all.
Bu Xingyi was the grand elder of the Ming Temple. If he got Mo Wen into trouble intentionally, he could really ruin his reputation.
Perhaps Gao Hanshan, as the leader of Gao Clan, would be able to explain the truth of the matter to the others. However, people only looked at the results, and not the process. It had always been this way. The other warriors would simply feel angry at the fact that they had not received a double increase in their cultivation and would want to know who to blame. Once they were told that Mo Wen had caused them to fail the entire task because he had not defeated the beast king, their first impression of him would definitely be poor.
If Gao Hanshan then attempted to explain things to them his words would have absolutely no impact. Nothing would be as effective as the Ming Temple’s deliberate attempt to smear Mo Wen’s reputation.
Lan Zhongzhi frowned as well. Bu Xingyi was completely barefaced. He was actually plotting against Mo Wen at a time like this. However, Lan Zhongzhi knew that this task was too important to all human warriors. He did not want Mo Wen to be defeated either.
Chu Yuan, the leader of the Ghost Lair, who had been silent all this while suddenly spoke. “Mo Wen, no matter what has happened in the past, if you do not complete the task, I will kill you. You better be careful. If you do not wish to die, then put in all your effort towards killing the beast king.” He stared intently at Mo Wen. It seemed as if he meant what he had said
Nangong Mingzhu frowned when she heard his words. Everyone here knew that Bu Xingyi had been the one to cause the situation. Mo Wen was not to blame for it. In targeting Mo Wen, Chu Yuan had gone too far. However, she also knew that Chu Yuan had said this to force Mo Wen to do his best. He should treat the battle as a matter of life and death.
Chu Yuan’s character had resulted in him making such a threat. Should Mo Wen fail to complete the task, he would definitely kill Mo Wen.
“How absurd!” Mo Wen was so angry he was laughing. He had put himself forward to make up for someone else’s mistake and was about to face the pressures of going against a beast king. However, now it seemed as if the entire situation was his fault.
He ignored Bu Xingyi who was the cause of all the trouble. A cold glint of light flashed in his eyes as he looked at Chu Yuan coldly. “Those who want to kill me are people that I will definitely kill. You have just threatened me. No matter whether I manage to defeat the beast king, I will kill you one day.”
“What arrogance! Young man, you are indeed arrogant.” Chu Yuan had not expected that Mo Wen would dare to say something like this. The black mist that surrounded him flared and then subsided. He looked at Mo Wen and started to laugh sinisterly. There was indescribable darkness in his laughter.
“You want to kill me? Alright. I will wait for you. I want to see who will die in whose hands,” Chu Yuan said lightly.
As long as he could capture Mo Wen, who did not understand his own limits, he would be able to show him the meaning of respect, and what arrogance and ignorance led to.
Furthermore, the lad had a lot of treasures. This had long been a point of contention for him. He would now have a reason to take them from Mo Wen.
Nangong Mingzhu gave Chu Yuan the side-eye and then looked at Mo Wen thoughtfully. The youth was rather brave. Others might not know about Chu Yuan’s background, but how could she not? Chu Yuan’s status might not be too high in the Ghost Lair, but he had at least ten martial arts grandmasters as his subordinates. He could send a few of them to get rid of the larger sects in the ancient martial arts world.
It was true that an ignorant newborn calf would not be afraid of a tiger. Young people could be a little arrogant.
Nangong Mingzhu did not say much either. Such things had nothing to do with the Demonic Sky, so she had no need to interfere. Furthermore, she also hoped that Mo Wen could kill the beast king. It was immoral to use such a method to force him, but since it was not her who had done so, she did not mind watching.
Mo Wen ignored Chu Yuan. He knew that Chu Yuan was very powerful and that he came from the mysterious Ghost Lair. However, Chu Yuan was bullying him. There was no reason for Mo Wen to ignore it. He could be wary of certain powers but would not back down because of them. He was a man and had to behave like one.
A ray of light descended from the sky and shone upon Mo Wen. Then, he disappeared from the altar.
He was transported to a sea of lava that rolled and bubbled. The heated waves surged towards him.
Mo Wen would have thought that he had returned to the sea of lava if he did not know that he was inside the spirit tower.
Crash!
One of the waves in the lava sea surged up furiously. It carried with it a terrifying power. It was the power of the beast king—a beast king that was hidden in the sea of lava.
Mo Wen stretched out his hand and pointed. A painting appeared in front of him. The moment the painting appeared, it unfurled. It was a painting of the mountains and rivers.
It was a steep mountain peak and the scroll shook slightly. The mountain looked as if it was creeping out of the painting bit by bit. An instant later, it appeared above Mo Wen’s head.
It was an enormous illusionary mountain. The peak reached the heavens. One could vaguely make out the various details on the mountains such as lakes, streams, waterfalls, mountain beasts, birds and green trees. Everything seemed no different from how they would look like in nature.
Mo Wen stood in the heart of the mountain. It seemed as if the entire mountain was surrounding him.
Crash!
The sea of lava surged up fiercely and collided with the illusion of the mountain. Then, it rolled back. The illusionary mountain did not even seem to move at all.
A fierce looking tail emerged from lava. The tail was more than a hundred meters long and was as thick as a bucket. It moved through the sky with a whoosh and then smashed down like a heavy whip on the illusionary mountain.
Crash!
The illusionary mountain shook. It felt as if the earth was shaking and that the heavens and the earth were cracking. However, no matter how much it shook, the illusionary mountain remained upright in the air. It showed no signs of collapsing.
A trace of surprise flashed in Mo Wen’s eyes. He was standing in the middle of the mountain. Even though the illusionary mountain kept shaking, it did not affect him at all. The 100-meter radius surrounding him did not appear to have moved an inch.
“This is indeed a profound level weapon. Its defensive capability is formidable.”
The illusionary mountain showed no signs of collapsing under the beast king’s frontal assault. Mo Wen did not even feel much.
However, even though the defensive capabilities of the profound level weapon were stunning, the rate at which it went through one’s inner Qi was also shocking. It had just blocked one attack from the beast king and Mo Wen’s inner Qi had already been depleted by one fifth.
If the beast king continued to attack, he would only be able to stop it five times at best.
Mo Wen took out a few low-grade healing lights from the medicine spiritual ring and used them one after another to replenish the inner Qi he lost.
Roar!
A beast roar rang out from within the sea of lava. Then, the surface of the sea parted and a large beast head appeared.
It was an enormous beast that was the size of a millstone. Its snakehead was ferocious and there were various horns growing on its head. There was a single horn protruding from the middle of its forehead. There were flames dancing on this horn and it exuded a ferocious aura.
At first glance, Mo Wen thought that it was the fire snake king of the seven beast kings in the fire region. However, he quickly realized that it was not. The fire snake king was a life in the fire region while the snake-type beast king before him was just an illusion created by the tower spirit.
The snake-type beast king’s eyes radiated with a devilish red light. The light flickered and dense fire spears descended suddenly from above. They were like raindrops that fell from above, splattering on the illusionary mountain.
Crash Crash!
The fire spurs hit the illusionary mountain and detonated. Explosive noises could be heard all across the mountain.
Mo Wen rolled his eyes. The beast king’s intelligence was shocking. It was using this method to deplete Mo Wen’s inner Qi. When his inner Qi was completely depleted, it would be much easier to kill him.
The power of a beast king was equivalent to that of several human martial arts grandmasters. Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen would not be able to stand against the assault of the snake-type beast king.
However, the snake-type beast king did not seem to know that the human warriors had something called healing light. Mo Wen knew that if he was willing to continue to stand against the snake-type beast king, he would definitely be able to tire it out.
However, Mo Wen was not prepared to do that because it was a waste of healing lights. The mountain profound level weapon might have strong defensive capabilities, but it was too large a target and was easily used by the enemy as a way to deplete his energy. Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen would not be willing to use the mountain weapon.
He had only used the mountain profound level weapon because he wanted to understand the defensive capabilities of it. Otherwise, he would be in the dark when he truly needed it.
Mo Wen rolled up the painting scroll profound level weapon without waiting for the snake-type beast king to continue depleting his inner Qi. The enormous illusionary mountain disappeared in mere moments.
Mo Wen’s figure disappeared as he turned into a gust of wind. He fluttered out of the area of the fire rain.
