657 Killing the Lord (2/2)

The Sacred Fire Sword released a flame of astonishing power but the monstrous beast was agile. At the crucial moment, it just managed to avoid its vital areas being hurt. The sword did not cut down on its neck but merely slashed viciously at its left upper chest.

The sound of the blade cutting flesh could be heard. A terrifying wound appeared on the Lord Monstrous Beast's chest. Boiling blood flowed out of it.

The creature had not only failed to attack Mo Wen but had been injured as well. It roared furiously. It did not back away but moved forward instead. It released an almost solid ray of white light. The white light locked onto the Sacred Fire Sword. The beast stepped forward, using its chest to block the Sacred Fire Sword's power. Then, it tried to flatten Mo Wen once more with a punch.

Mo Wen was shocked. The monstrous beast was so resilient. It was trying even harder than Mo Wen!

Mo Wen had taken a punch from the monstrous beast. Even though the attack had been weakened by 90 percent, he had still been injured. He did not dare to go head to head with the monstrous beast. He used the Glory of Wind, and as the gentle breeze started, he disappeared from where he had been standing.

The Lord Monstrous Beast's attack failed, and it was resentful. It looked at Mo Wen with its odd, blood red eyes. They flickered. It was trying to hypnotize Mo Wen again.

This time, Mo Wen was on his guard. Unlike the first time, the hypnosis would not get close to working on him. However, the Lord Monstrous Beast was shockingly talented. Even though Mo Wen was vigilant, he could not help but be affected by the hypnosis.

For just a moment, his mind went blank and his movements slowed.

The Lord Monstrous Beast possessed psychic abilities. Its mental capabilities were higher than Mo Wen's. Mo Wen could not try to affect it mentally.

A moment of hesitation was enough for a Lord Monstrous Beast to do many things. Its enormous body flickered and it appeared in front of Mo Wen.

The two deer horns on top of its head released a startling light. Then, two golden water dragons flew out from the horns before tangling together, turning into a pair of scissors that stabbed viciously at Mo Wen.

By the time Mo Wen reacted, the water dragon scissors had already appeared in the air above him. The terrifying force made his hair stand on end.

If he could not defend against this attack, it was highly likely that he would lose his life.

The Five Beast Hoops and the Gray Mountain Peak had already been tossed away and could not help him this time. Mo Wen gritted his teeth. He could only depend on himself. Perhaps he would be able to block the attack if he used the three Glory techniques to the extreme.

Then, just as Mo Wen was preparing to give it his all, something unexpected happened.

The Purple Bottle Gourd, which had been standing on Mo Wen's shoulder all the while, suddenly released a brilliant purple light.

The water dragon scissors immediately stopped, as did the Lord Monstrous Beast. Everything that was covered by the purple light came to a halt as if time had stopped.

Only the Purple Bottle Gourd continued to shine with a gentle purple light.

Mo Wen's pupils shrank. The change had happened so suddenly that he was in a daze.

He soon discovered that he could still move and was not affected by the purple light.

How could Mo Wen miss out on an opportunity like this? He moved quickly, arriving in front of the Lord Monstrous Beast in the blink of an eye. The Sacred Fire Sword released a brilliant ray of light. He cut down with the sword, and blood splattered all over the place as the giant skull flew into the air.

There was a loud crash as the Lord Monstrous Beast's body fell from the air. The terrifying water dragon scissors were like an illusion, dispersing as the breeze blew onto them.

A stunning shower of light surged from the ground into the sky like a pillar of light. It went against gravity and rushed upwards, surging into Mo Wen.

The power of the Lord Monstrous Beast was a great boost to Mo Wen. His cultivation levels had increased by a large amount. He was a little confused, surprised that he had managed to kill a Lord Monstrous Beast after being in this place for just half a day.

He looked at the monstrous beasts covered in purple light that seemed to have been cursed with a freezing spell. The Sacred Fire Sword in his hands flashed and he prepared to fly over and kill all of them.

However, something unexpected happened.

Before he could act, the Purple Bottle Gourd released several tendrils of purple light. The rays of purple light were innumerable and covered the entire area in just a moment. The monstrous beasts in the light were all shot by the purple light.

One, two, three, four…A large number of monstrous beasts started to collapse and turn into specks of starlight. The starlight gathered together, forming a terrifying cloud of stars that floated into the night sky, looking extremely stunning.

What shocked Mo Wen even more was that the starlight continued to gather around the Purple Bottle Gourd. The starlight flowed like tributaries into the sea into the Purple Bottle Gourd.

In just a blink of the eye, the large cloud of starlight had been sucked up clean.

Mo Wen looked at the scene with wide eyes and mouth agape. He looked at the Purple Bottle Gourd with an odd expression. It was stealing the power of the starlight. It was a spiritual weapon but it could absorb the power of the starlight like a human being!

What exactly was happening?

Everything that had happened up till now was beyond Mo Wen's scope of understanding.
