680 Mo Wen Gets Chosen (2/2)

”You old b*stard. If you can, come and kill me in the Ming Temple. I will concede if you dare find me at the Ming Temple to kill me.”

Bu Xingyi was feeling extremely panicked. He was so scared that he started to choose his words poorly. He was not afraid of Tan Qiyue killing him in the future. In the worst case scenario, he would hide in the Ming Temple and not come out. He did not believe that this old thing dared to come searching in the Ming Temple to kill a Sect Grand Elder like him. But he was afraid that Tan Qiyue would kill him now. If Tan Qiyue tried to kill him now, he would have no one to rely on. Bu Xingyi could already sense the dangerous aura in Tan Qiyue's gaze. He wouldn't have the chance to run away now even if he wanted to.

”You are looking to die.” Tan Qiyue indeed had the idea of killing Bu Xingyi now. Right then, he took a step forward and was prepared to act.

However, at this moment, the voice of the Tower Spirit sounded again.

”Since Human Warrior Bu Xingyi did not complete the task, you have all failed. However, as it is a group task, there is one chance to make it up.”

The Tower Spirit's voice transmitted into everyone's minds. Those who had believed that they had failed the task immediately pricked up their ears. There was actually a chance to make it up?

”The Tower Spirit will randomly select one from among you. This person will represent Human Warrior Bu Xingyi to head forth and attempt to complete the task that he was not able to. However, this time is a makeup attempt. The difficulty will be increased. It will no longer be ten Lord monstrous beasts, but a Beast King monstrous beast.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Wen laughed bitterly. They would actually be facing a Beast King.

A Beast King was comparable to a human Martial Arts Grandmaster absolute strong practitioner. It was far more powerful than ten Lord monstrous beasts.

Among the seven of them, Nangong Mingzhu, Chu Yuan and Tan Qiyue could possibly kill a Beast King. If Mo Wen went all out, he also had the ability to kill a Beast King. But for both Gao Hanshan and Lan Zhongzhi, it was hard to say whether they would succeed or not.

The person who participated in the makeup task was going to be randomly selected by the Tower Spirit. If it chose Gao Hanshan and Lan Zhongzhi, the result would most likely still not be any different.

The others also laughed bitterly. They had also realized the problem that lay within.

Each of them knew whether or not they could kill a Beast King. Gao Hanshan and Lan Zhongzhi were the first to open their arms and reveal helpless looks.

Tan Qiyue was also frowning hard. If his cultivation was not limited, he could easily kill a normal Beast King. But in his current situation, it was hard to say whether he would be able to. If the Tower Spirit sent out a Beast King that was too powerful, he would not have the ability to kill it.

On the other hand, Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan were both calm, as they had been since the very start.

A slim chance of victory was better than none. Since they could make up for it, there was at least still a chance.

Bu Xingyi also breathed a sigh of relief. At least now Tan Qiyue would not simply kill him. If anyone managed to complete the task, Tan Qiyue would have no excuse to kill him anymore.

A colored turntable descended from the sky and appeared on the altar. The turntable had a red pointer which was currently spinning at high speeds.

Mo Wen knew that whoever the red pointer pointed at would be the one to represent the team in the makeup task.

The turntable slowed down, its pointer passing each one of them one by one until it finally stopped.

Mo Wen breathed a sigh of relief as the red pointer pointed at him. He knew he should be able to kill a Beast King.

However, when Mo Wen sighed in relief, the others were frowning.

Gao Hanshan looked at Mo Wen, wanting to say something but then stopping himself. Obviously, he was not too confident in Mo Wen.

Lan Zhongzhi and Tan Qiyue also frowned. Similarly, they too did not have too much confidence in Mo Wen. Although Mo Wen was very strong and his performance before this was very astonishing, talent was talent, whereas ability was ability. Based on cultivation, he had just broken through to the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. Among the seven of them, he could not be said to be outstanding.

Aside from that, Mo Wen was too young. Subconsciously, he did not have too much persuasive power. For a youth to bear such a heavy burden, it was very easy to make others feel anxious.

”Can you do it?” Nangong Mingzhu could not help but ask. ”If you believe you can, and the Tower Spirit also agrees, I will be happy for you to go. It will save me the trouble.”

Mo Wen rolled his eyes at Nangong Mingzhu. He did not want to fight for his life against a Beast King. Maybe he could win, but it would definitely not be easy.

If the Tower Spirit had chosen Nangong Mingzhu, he would be happy to sit around and do nothing.

Nangong Mingzhu softly snorted. She raised her chin proudly but did not say anything else. It went without saying that what the Tower Spirit said was final. How could it possibly change candidates because of her?

”Mo Wen, can you do it? Everyone knows that you and I have bad blood between us. You'd better not purposely hold back and lose to the Beast King, dragging all of us down,” Bu Xingyi said mockingly.

He did not believe that Mo Wen could defeat a Beast King. Even in his heyday, Bu Xingyi would have had a hard time defeating a Beast King, let alone killing one.

However, knowing that Mo Wen would certainly lose, Bu Xingyi also wanted to blame him for his impending defeat and to provoke Mo Wen. Once Mo Wen failed, Bu Xingyi would then be able to say that Mo Wen had failed on purpose and abused his own position to settle a personal grudge. That would make the others turn against Mo Wen.

Maybe the people here would know what had happened, but the human ancient martial art practitioners in the outside world would not necessarily know so clearly. When the time came, and they believed that Mo Wen had purposely abused his own position to settle a personal grudge, resulting in them failing the task, wouldn't they want Mo Wen to die?
