648 The Utmost Reward (2/2)

Many shadows appeared on the desolated plain that Mo Wen was standing on. The shadows gathered densely, completely surrounding the warriors.

There were only about 30 human warriors here, but there were more than 3000 illusionary beasts.

The sound of a wolf howling could be heard in the distance. An enormous wolf appeared on a large rock some meters away. The large wolf was about five meters tall and 15 meters long. It was like a small hill. It lifted its head to howl at the round moon in the sky. Its fur was tousled by the night wind, making it look majestic.

Even from such a long distance, they could sense the terrifying aura belonging to the enormous wolf. It was as strong as a powerful martial arts grandmaster.

As the enormous wolf howled, more and more shadows appeared on the desolated plain. They gathered together, before moving in an orderly manner. They were like an army troop preparing to move.

Mo Wen's gaze swept over the crowd of illusionary beasts around him. They were all wolf-like monstrous beasts and had formed themselves into packs. They were all of different sizes and had different strengths.

The enormous wolf standing on the rock was the wolf king, and he was directing the movement of all of the other wolf type monstrous beasts.

The wolf beasts continued to surround them. Some human warriors had already been attacked.

”This place is the lair of the monstrous beasts. Everyone, move immediately,” Granny Jin Hua said loudly. Then, she shone with gold light and appeared beside Jin Ying, taking her by the shoulders. Granny Jin Hua shone with light once again and immediately started fighting on the outside of the group.

The desolated plain they were on was not a calm place. If the wolves had managed to surround them completely, they would have all been killed by the packs.

Everyone immediately realized how much danger they were in. No one cared any longer if they had any debts or animosity towards the Ming Temple or the Golden Dragon Sect. They all turned to run away. It would be catastrophic if the demonic wolves surrounded them.

A dark figure flashed and a two-meter-tall and five-meter-long grey wolf appeared in front of Mo Wen. The wolf gave out a faint silver light and was as powerful as a warrior at the beginning stage of the golden elixir realm. It was a monstrous wolf at the early seventh rank stages.

The wolf appeared and charged at Mo Wen. The silver light that surrounded the creature grew brighter. It was like a silver sun that hurtled towards Mo Wen.

Mo Wen's figure shimmered and he dodged the monstrous wolf's attack. While these illusionary beasts were not truly alive, their combat powers were not any weaker than the beasts they were emulating.

The silver light monstrous wolf missed Mo Wen, and instead made a large crater on the ground with a stunning force.

Wolf type monstrous beasts were very agile. It twisted its body and turned to charge at Mo Wen again.

Mo Wen had made use of the short period of time after the beast had missed to twist his hands. Seven flames emerged from his sleeves. They were the Sacred Flame Insignia. As the flames shimmered, the seven balls of fire gathered together to form a long sword made of flames.

The Sacred Flame Sword was a treasure belonging to an immortal cultivator that had been sealed. If one did not release the seal, they would not be able to wield the true power behind the Sacred Flame Sword. As for what class this treasure belonged to, Mo Wen did not know. According to his guesses, it was at least a treasured level weapon.

They could not use items belonging to immortal cultivators, but as long as he did not infuse spiritual power into the sword and activated its powers, it would not be affected.

The Sacred Flame Sword could cut through steel as if it was mud and was very strong. It was a rare divine weapon by itself.

Mo Wen's strength in his attack was remarkable, even though he simply used it as an ordinary weapon.

When the silver light monstrous beast pounced on Mo Wen again, an enormous power flowed out from Mo Wen. There was a glow of gold light and the Sacred Flame Sword tore through the night sky, leaving behind a streak of gold that flickered before disappearing.

The silver light monstrous wolf fell to the ground. Its body had been split into two and its wounds were neat and clean. It had been cut open as easily as a piece of tofu.

There was no trace of blood on the ground. The silver light monstrous wolf howled before turning into sparkles of light which rushed into Mo Wen's body.

Mo Wen tasted the light carefully and he discovered that some of his power had indeed been released. It was not a lot, but it was some. In fact, it was very little. If his soul power had not been as strong as it was, he might not have discovered this slight change.

The amount of cultivation that had been suppressed in him was not great. It was just a small portion. However, he would have to kill at least 20 of such monstrous wolf beasts before he could release all his power completely. Even with Mo Wen's ability, it was unlikely that he could kill so many seventh rank monstrous beasts in such a short amount of time.
