631 The Fighting Spirit Tower (2/2)
However, standing in front of Mo Wen right now, he felt like a country bumpkin and did not feel superior at all.
”How can he have so many valuable treasures?”
Hou Jingfeng could not get his head around it and his gaze grew darker and darker. He looked at Mo Wen with eyes filled with greed. He wanted to kill him on the spot and take all his treasures for himself.
Mo Wen's intuition was extremely sharp. He immediately sensed the shift in Hou Jingfeng's emotions, even from a distance.
”Do you want to die?” Mo Wen slowly turned around and smirked at Hou Jingfeng. Hou Jingfeng could not hide the greed in his eyes. The young man was indeed talented, but the desire and possessiveness he had were too strong. A person like that would make mistakes easily.
Mo Wen did not seem to be in a combative mood now and was very calm and composed. However, Hou Jingfeng still took a step back in fright. He looked at Mo Wen warily. The power that the Black Gold Puppet had unleashed earlier could kill him easily.
Hou Jingfeng was no longer as arrogant and proud as he had been earlier. He did not make any comments before turning around and fleeing. He ran towards the powerhouse of the Ming Temple. He was really afraid that Mo Wen would, in his anger, order the Black Gold Puppet to kill him.
”Useless.” Mo Wen glanced at Hou Jingfeng with a hint of disdain in his eyes. Even though he had not spoken loudly, his words floated over to Hou Jingfeng.
Hou Jingfeng's body shook and his expression darkened drastically. His eyes were filled with venomous hatred. However, he gritted his teeth and did not stop. He knew that Mo Wen, with the Black Gold Puppet in his hands, could kill him easily. Without the protection of the powerhouses from the Ming Temple, he could very possibly die at the hands of this youth.
No sensible person would stay in a dangerous situation. One day, when he had the ability, he would make the youths' life worse than death. He would take pleasure in making him kneel before him and kowtow, begging for forgiveness.
Mo Wen had been able to kill the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf so casually, causing the monstrous beasts around him who had discovered him to all feel afraid. Not a single beast dared to come forth and stop him. Even when Mo Wen walked past them, they all looked as if they wanted to stay far away from him.
The power of the Black Gold Puppet had evidently scared many monstrous beasts. After all, the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf was a beast second only to the beast kings in the Fire Domain. No one except the beast kings would dare to approach Mo Wen.
The path before Mo Wen cleared and he traveled through the square with ease. Not a single monstrous beast dared to stop him.
In a matter of mere moments, Mo Wen arrived before the Fighting Spirit Tower and stopped several hundred meters away. The Fighting Spirit Tower was the most dangerous area in the entire square right now. It was the center of the fight between the Peacock Beast King and the seven major martial arts grandmasters. The rippling effects of their attacks were sufficient to kill a warrior at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. Even though the Peacock Beast King was too preoccupied right now to worry about other warriors, those who wish to enter the Fighting Spirit Tower had to be able to rely on their own abilities.
Mo Wen came to a halt near to the spot where some other human warriors were watching the situation at the Fighting Spirit Tower from a safe distance. The area they were in was the closest to the Fighting Spirit Tower with the least effects from the ripples of the fight.
Those human warriors who had managed to fight through the beasts were staying there to watch the battle near the Fighting Spirit Tower. Someone would try to enter the tower once there was an opportunity.
”Elder Wang Wu from the Huajian Sect had failed to enter the tower earlier. It is such a pity to lose a powerhouse at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm.”
”He's already the third. They all failed. The Peacock Beast King is really powerful. It has been able to kill those trying to enter the tower even when it is being attacked by the seven major martial arts grandmasters.
”How about we all enter together. Even if the Peacock Beast King tries to stop us, it won't be able to prevent all of us from gaining access. There will be someone who succeeds.”
”We mustn't. The Peacock Beast King is a beast that has the bloodline of the ancient colored peacock. It is very powerful and its inherent abilities are also extremely strong. If we force it to its limit when we try to enter the tower together, it might try to attack all of us in a last-ditch attempt without any consideration for its own life. I fear every one of us will die together with it.”
There were quite a few people gathered at the spot. Some of the people who knew each other stood together and discussed the matter. As they were very close to the battle among the Peacock Beast King and the seven major martial arts grandmasters, the other monstrous beasts did not dare to approach. As such, the human warriors were not attacked by any other monstrous beasts.
Mo Wen stood alone below a stone tablet. He did not team up with anyone else and only glanced at those around him. There were more than ten people here and they were from many different sects. There was a person he felt was familiar. It was an elder of the Gao Clan whom he had met earlier at the sea of lava.
After making the stone tablet his shield, Mo Wen sat down cross-legged on the ground in order to heal his Inner Qi so that he could maintain his peak status. However, he kept his eyes on the battle among the Peacock Beast King and the seven major martial arts grandmasters, watching for an opportunity to enter the Fighting Spirit Tower.
Actually, many warriors knew that they were entering the Fighting Spirit Tower not just for the spiritual fire. They also wanted to enter the Fighting Spirit Tower simply for the sake of doing so. Even in ancient times, the tower was the place immortal cultivators most wanted to enter.
