Chapter 659: Reaching the Altar

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

An average ancient martial art practitioner would certainly panic if they encountered such a situation, but Mo Wen remained calm. A gentle breeze swept past him. The next moment, his figure stopped falling and began instead to fly forwards at a bizarre angle. He headed in a downwards projectile curve. Mo Wen managed to avoid crashing into the rock pillars as gravity acted on him and pulled him downwards.

Caw!

The sharp cry of an eagle suddenly sounded. Suddenly, a cyan tornado descended from the sky, heading straight for Mo Wen.

Once the cyan tornado appeared, all the wind was immediately disturbed. Using movement techniques that relied on wind direction, wind speed and the power of the wind would be extremely difficult.

However, Mo Wen’s Glory of Wind was not affected at all. He managed to successfully evade the onslaught of the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin.

It was clear the Cyan Light Eagle was not prepared to simply stand by and watch. A huge cyan tornado had already descended from the sky, completely covering a radius of a hundred meters.

At the same time, the Erupting Inferno Lion had caught up. A flaming silhouette pounced from behind.

Once Mo Wen approached the edge of the altar, he was immediately encircled by three Lord Monstrous Beasts. Up until this point, the three beasts had not even appeared. Their mission was to guard the altar and the Beast King’s treasure which sat upon it.

On the other side, Pei Fengwu and the other two were making their way to the altar, slaughtering all those who got in their way. Both Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan seemed to be slowing down for no apparent reason.

Pei Fengwu turned back to glance at the two of them. She raised her eyebrows and said, “The altar is guarded by three Lord Monstrous Beasts. Only by cooperating will the four of us have the opportunity to take the Beast King’s treasure. Mo Wen is the strongest among the four of us. If something happens to him, do you think that the three of us can complete the task?”

She gave the other two a cold stare. Then, she continued to make her way to the altar, fighting with all her strength.

Only by joining forces would the four of them have any hope. Any one of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts was an existence that they alone could not match. If Mo Wen had not already killed a Lord Monstrous Beast, it was likely that they would have stood no chance at all.

It would take three of them to each keep one of the Lord Monstrous Beasts occupied. Then, the other person could approach the altar and steal the Beast King’s Treasure Box. This way, it would be possible for them to successfully complete the task.

Although they could not defeat such terrifying monstrous beasts, they could restrict them for a short while.

However, Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan were intentionally slowing down. They were purposely not aiding Mo Wen, watching as Mo Wen faced the encirclement of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts. This was despite the fact that it was clear that, if Mo Wen died, it would be impossible to complete the task with just the three of them.

“Narrow-minded.” Pei Fengwu gave Gong Zhangyan a cold stare. She knew that each of the men held grudges against Mo Wen. In their current situation, such grudges should be put to one side. In such an environment, all the human ancient martial art practitioners should be working closely together, especially against monstrous beasts. They especially should not be fighting against each other. She looked down on this unprofessional attitude of Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan.

Gong Zhangyan’s face turned slightly red when he heard what Pei Fengwu had to stay. He could ignore the views of other people but he could not ignore her words. He sighed slightly and stopped dragging his feet, instead rushing towards the altar with all his might.

Hou Jingfeng’s gaze changed slightly. After hesitating for a while, he too hurried towards the altar. Although he hoped very much that Mo Wen would die at the hands of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts, he knew that what Pei Fengwu had said was true. If Mo Wen died, it would be almost impossible for them to have an opportunity to steal the Beast King’s Treasure Box.

Comparatively, the Tower Spirit’s task was naturally more important. Hou Jingfeng would deal with Mo Wen another time.

Mo Wen was surrounded by the three Lord Monstrous Beasts. The pressure on him increased greatly, preventing him from taking another step.

Any one of the three monstrous beasts was terrifying beyond compare. With the three of them joining forces to surround him, Mo Wen had a hard time even protecting himself.

The Cyan Light Eagle controlled the power of the wind. It could cause the wind everywhere to change as it wanted. If it wasn’t for the fact that Mo Wen’s Glory of Wind was a rite of passage martial art, he would not be able to use it in such a situation at all.

The Erupting Inferno Lion controlled the power of fire. It was the Lord Monstrous Beast with the strongest attack power. Mo Wen did not dare to face it head-on. Even a careless graze would injure him.

As for the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin, it was the strongest support on the battlefield. It controlled the power of earth, weakening Mo Wen’s ability from all directions.

Battling with these three mythical beasts was like dancing on the edge of a knife.

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows. If this continued, not only would he be unable to reach the altar, but it was highly likely that he would die at the hands of the three mythical beasts.

Just as he was considering whether or not to retreat, a white image reached the center square.

Once the white image appeared, it flew into the air, directly heading towards the Cyan Light Eagle. It was none other than Pei Fengwu. As well as her sword Qi, she wielded a longsword spiritual weapon in hand. She appeared to Mo Wen to be like an Immortal descending from the heavens.

Caw!

The Cyan Light Eagle screeched angrily. It opened its mouth, and a bolt of cyan lightning shot out. It made contact with Pei Fengwu’s faint white sword Qi which quickly shattered. The lightning bolt continued forward. Pei Fengwu waved her longsword, sending out beam after beam of icy sword Qi. Only after crashing into tens of beams of sword Qi did the bolt of cyan lightning gradually disappear.

At the same time, a pillar of cyan light descended from the sky, becoming a tornado. Pei Fengwu was enveloped by the ferocious power. It was clear to them all that the Cyan Light Eagle had already launched its second wave of attack. The Lord Monstrous Beasts were too powerful. Of the four of them that had entered the ancient city, only Mo Wen stood a chance against any of the creatures. It was very difficult for the rest to take on a Lord Monstrous Beast alone.

At the same time, Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan also reached the center square.

“Mo Wen, you approach the altar. The three of us will hold them back,” Pei Fengwu called out. The white pearl bracelet on her hand lit up with a brilliant glow. The space was distorted slightly. A circle of white silently surrounded the cyan tornado.

The huge tornado suddenly stopped, but just for an instant. It broke free of the white light circle’s bonds and continued to envelop everything below.

However, the instant had been enough time to allow Pei Fengwu to retreat a hundred meters, evading the terrifying attack from the Cyan Light Eagle by a hair’s breadth.

“Humph, why should we be containing the mythical beasts and letting him get his hands on the Beast King’s Treasure Box?” Hou Jingfeng coldly snorted. Everyone knew that the Beast King’s Treasure Box would not contain anything basic. There may be real treasure inside of it. He had noticed a while ago that Pei Fengwu was always siding with Mo Wen.

“That’s right. Why should we be risking our lives battling the mythical beasts and letting him reap the benefit?” Gong Zhangyan naturally would not agree with Pei Fengwu either.

“If the two of you believe that you have the ability to obtain the Beast King’s Treasure Box, then go and snatch it. I have no objections.”

Pei Fengwu had managed to constrain the Cyan Light Eagle. The pressure on Mo Wen was greatly reduced. He had the time to cast his gaze over the altar. He smiled coldly and calmly, and said, “I just worry that you don’t know your own strength and instead will end up throwing your lives away.”

Hou Jingfeng coldly laugh. “Don’t you try to frighten us. I will go.” It was pretty simple. He had no intention of dealing with the mythical beasts. With a dash, he rushed towards the altar.

Gong Zhangyan snorted scornfully. “What makes you think that it should be you?” He did not want to let Hou Jingfeng seize the opportunity. He also moved towards the altar with a flash of his silhouette. He had no intention of contributing an ounce of strength to restrict the mythical beasts.

“The two of you...” Pei Fengwu had not expected that the two of them would stoop so low. She couldn’t believe that they were still playing mind games at a time like this. It was ridiculous. Her and Mo Wen would not necessarily be able to block the three mythical beasts. They would most likely pay the price with their lives.

Roar! Roar!

The three mythical beasts had no intention of letting anyone approach the altar. They immediately left Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu behind, frantically attacking Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan. The mythical beasts would kill whoever approached the altar.

Pei Fengwu coldly laughed as she stopped fighting, watching the Cyan Light Eagle head over to attack Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan.

“Older Sister Fengwu, let the two of them be. I want to see whether they can manage to take the Beast King’s Treasure Box.”

Mo Wen laughed. With a touch of his finger, the Gray Mountain Peak released a brilliant light. It was his first time actively attacking the mythical beasts, creating an opportunity for Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan to approach the altar.

Although it was very difficult for him to kill a Lord Monstrous Beast, it was not too difficult for him to restrict two.

The Gray Mountain Peak suddenly grew larger. A light image flashed, as though it moved instantly, blocking the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin. Even the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin would have difficulties getting past the might of a top-grade spiritual weapon.

Mo Wen’s silhouette flashed. The wind blew, and the leaves were sent flying. Mo Wen appeared in front of the Erupting Inferno Lion, blocking it from the altar.

When Pei Fengwu saw Mo Wen attacking and blocking off two mythical beasts, she sighed gently. She did not say anything anymore. The white pearl bracelet on her snow-white wrist released an eye-catching light. This time, the seven white jade pearls lit up together. A vast aura emanated from the white jade bracelet.

The Cyan Light Eagle, facing Pei Fengwu, discovered it could not break away from her swiftly. It was both astonished and enraged, its anxiety causing it to screech.

Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu successfully managed to restrict the three mythical beasts.

Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan were unimpeded all the way to the altar. It was enveloped in a light film, but the light film seemed to only block out sound. It did not have any protective power. The two of them very easily passed through it. With a flash of their silhouettes, they appeared on the altar.

The light film meant that those on the outside could not see what was happening on the altar. After Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan both reached the altar, their presences disappeared. The altar appeared as peaceful as it had earlier.

Away from the altar, the battle became more and more intense. The three mythical beasts roared in a frenzy, as though their children had been killed. They furiously attacked Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu.

The abilities of the two remaining human practitioners were strong. After Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan reached the altar, there was no further need to restrict the mythical beasts. Now, Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu just needed to evade their attacks. At least for now, the three mythical beasts could not do anything about them.

Pei Fengwu battled bitterly against the Cyan Light Eagle as she kept track of the time that had passed inside. If there were no surprises, she should be able to hold off the Cyan Light Eagle for five minutes. This should be enough time for Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan to retrieve the Beast King’s Treasure Box.

However, what Pei Fengwu had not expected was that after the time it took for five breaths, the light shroud around the altar suddenly shook. Then, two silhouettes came flying out. They were like trash being thrown out, crashing into the ground heavily.

Pei Fengwu stared with her eyes wide open at the two people on the ground. Who else could they be but Gong Zhangyan and Hou Jingfeng? How long had they been in there? It had just been a moment, but they had actually been thrown out. What was going on?
