656 Lord Monstrous Beas (2/2)

There were more and more monstrous beasts dying in the air. In just 15 minutes, Mo Wen discovered that his cultivation levels had increased a great deal. If this continued, it would be likely that his cultivation would strengthen further.

Other than avian monstrous beasts, only monstrous beasts of the seventh rank and above could fly. Mo Wen knew that, even though it was dangerous in the air, the rewards were high too.

Mo Wen had already gathered more than 30 drops of recovery light. He used about 20 and had about 10 left.

Such great expenditure of power had still resulted in the accumulation of resources. It made it clear that Mo Wen had made the right choice in deciding to use his full power to activate the Five Beast Hoops.

Suddenly, a high-pitched caw rang out.

Up until, this point, the large Cyan Light Eagle had stayed above the altar, guarding it. It had not joined in with the battle at all. However, when it saw the situation in the air and realized that so many monstrous beasts had died or been injured, it could not hold back anymore.

The eagle made a long whistling sound that could be heard throughout the ancient city.

The tall buildings surrounding the central altar suddenly collapsed even before the sound ended. Dust flew into the air. A large figure started to emerge slowly. The ground started to shake every time it took a step. A thick and strong aura swept through the area like a tidal wave.

The figure was that of an enormous ape-like monstrous beast that was covered in light grey hair. It was 20 meters tall and walked on two legs. The two large deer horns on its head glowed with blue light.

The monstrous beast looked very odd. It was enveloped in cloud and mist, which had the effect of making it seem as if it were there one moment and gone the next. It was as if it was a beast that grew in the clouds.

Mo Wen noticed the monstrous beast the moment that it appeared, sensing an aura from it that was as powerful as the Cyan Light Eagle.

It was one of the four lords of the ancient city.

Roar! The moment the strange monstrous beast appeared, it turned to look at Mo Wen who was still in the air. Then, roared straight at him, as if it had appeared just for Mo Wen. Its large body flickered and it flew upwards, appearing in the battleground in the sky in just mere moments.

Mo Wen's expression was grave. He took out two recovery lights to recover his inner Qi levels to its peak. Then, he flicked his wrist and the Sacred Fire Sword appeared in his hand.

At the same time, the Gray Mountain Peak also released a patch of light. The rays of gray light enveloped the area around Mo Wen, protecting him.

A monstrous beast at the pinnacle of the seventh rank was highly likely to be extremely powerful. Mo Wen did not dare to be careless.

On the ground, the three human warriors looked up to the sky at almost the same time. Their expressions turned grave when they saw the Lord Monstrous Beast.

The Lord Monstrous Beast was the most powerful existence other than the beast king. Even a warrior at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm would be no match for them. The Lord Monstrous Beast could not be compared to human martial arts grandmasters but posed a real threat to martial arts practitioners under the grandmaster rank.

”Mo Wen. He's here!” There was a flash of hatred in Hou Jingfeng's eyes. He had discovered that the person in the air was Mo Wen.

Mo Wen had almost killed him earlier and shamed him several times. The loathing he felt for Mo Wen had reached a stage where he would not stop hating him until he died.

”Good. Very good. I hope that Lord Monstrous Beast will not disappoint me and eat him up. Chew him up viciously and tear him to shreds…”

There was an expression of schadenfreude in Hou Jingfeng's eyes. The Lord Monstrous Beast charging at Mo Wen was something he could not be more pleased about. If the four Lord Monstrous Beasts in the ancient city all attacked Mo Wen, then it would be perfect.

Gong Zhangyan and Pei Fengwu were also shocked. Neither of them had expected Mo Wen to also come to this ancient city. Had he also received the secret task?

Pei Fengwu frowned. ”Why does he show off his skills so much everywhere he goes? Is he not afraid of bringing trouble unto himself?” As soon as she looked up, she realized what was happening in the sky. Mo Wen truly did surprising things everywhere he went. No wonder the Lord Monstrous Beast had come out to especially attack him.

Pei Fengwu had a rough gauge of the situation in the ancient city. The most dangerous creatures in the ancient city were the four lords. However, they would not show their hands so easily until the most crucial moment. Or perhaps, one could say that they had also received a task and their task was to protect the treasure of the beast king. As such, they would not show themselves so easily when the beast king's treasure was not threatened. This was to ensure that accidents did not happen.

The Cyan Light Eagle only flew above the altar and did not attack because its goal was to protect the white jade treasure box.

Even though they could not avoid going against the four lords in the end, their probability of success would be higher if they killed more monstrous beasts now and gather more power.

Actually, the three of them had been getting closer and closer to the altar in the center. However, they did not barge forth with all their might.

The monstrous beasts in the ancient city were all precious nourishment. As long as the four lords did not attack them, the lives of the humans would not be in danger.

Nobody would be so foolish as to barge into the central altar right now to fight the four lords.

”When one is talented, jealousy would easily strike others. You're seeking death, and I am quite pleased to watch on.” Gong Zhangyan's lips curled up into a mocking smile. In his eyes, Mo Wen was looking to die.
