706 The Final Challenge (2/2)
Hou Jingfeng was the Ming Temple's chief disciple on the surface. He was the flagbearer for the Ming Temple's younger generation. At the same time, he was also their future pillar.
With Hou Jingfeng's talents, he had a high chance of reaching the Martial Arts Grandmaster realm. Losing such a person meant that the Ming Temple had lost much more than just a future Martial Arts Grandmaster.
The Second Sect Grand Elder Wang Changhan had brought Hou Jingfeng to this Fire Domain. Wang Changhan would be held responsible for his death and would certainly be punished by the Ming Temple. Although he was a Sect Grand Elder, and they would certainly not do much to him, this incident would certainly affect Wang Changhan's reputation in the Ming Temple.
The negative effect that it would have on his reputation meant that Wang Changhan would not be able to contend for the position of Temple Leader.
The ancient martial art practitioners of the Ming Temple bowed their heads and did not speak: even Bu Xingyi was silent. Hou Jingfeng was dead. This would have a huge effect on the Ming Temple. The Ming Temple did not lack Martial Arts Grandmasters and missing Hou Jingfeng was not going to be too huge of an effect on this aspect. However, his death not only meant that they had they lost a future Martial Arts Grandmaster, but it would also affect the name of the Ming Temple in the ancient martial arts world. Many sects had brought their junior youths to the Fire Domain to learn from experience. However, the person who had died was a member of their own Ming Temple. The other youths were still alive and well.
If other dishonest people provoked them, the Ming Temple would most likely come out as a sect that had no future in the ancient martial arts world.
Roar!
An astonishing beast roar was heard in the sky. In the distance, a giant scorpion floated in the sky above. The giant scorpion was enormous, about four to five hundred meters long. It could truly be called a giant.
”All my subjects, slaughter them. Slaughter all the humans. If you kill any human, you will be handsomely rewarded. The more you kill, the higher the reward,” the giant scorpion slowly said. Its voice was like rumbling thunder, causing even the fire cloud to tremble and churn.
”That is the Fire Scorpion Beast King.”
Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. He recognized the Beast King. It was the Fire Scorpion Beast King of the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings. The Fire Scorpion Beast King now had a figure that was ten times larger than before. The aura from its body was even more terrifying, almost surpassing ordinary Pinnacle Beast Kings.
Mo Wen was certain that this Fire Scorpion Beast King was far more powerful than the Pinnacle Beast King he had met before. It was at least twice as strong.
Following the command of the Fire Scorpion Beast King, all the monstrous beasts on top of the fire cloud began to move. They swarmed towards the human ancient martial art practitioners. The sea of beasts was like the tide, churning as it surged over.
”Go all out and kill the Fire Domain's Beast Kings. Don't bother with the other monstrous beasts.”
With the flash of a beam of black light, Nangong Mingzhu led the way as she flew up. A pair of jade wings appeared on her back. With a gentle flap, her silhouette appeared far into the distance. She flew straight for the Fire Scorpion Beast King.
As long as they killed all the Fire Domain's Beast Kings, they would win. They could not kill all of the illusionary beasts, and trying to do so would be pointless.
In an instant, all the human ancient martial art practitioners flew up, frantically flying towards the Fire Scorpion Beast King.
The monstrous beasts on top of the fire cloud were all seventh rank and above. All of them could fly. When the human ancient martial art practitioners flew up, a large number of monstrous beasts did so too, blocking, pouncing and surrounding them.
In the sky above and on the ground, the monstrous beasts were densely packed. The human ancient martial art practitioners had to break through the blockade of these monstrous beasts before they could approach the Fire Domain Beast King.
A bolt of lightning flashed. In the sky full of monstrous beasts, a golden silhouette flashed past. No one could stop it. Streaks of lightning covered Mo Wen's body, constantly emanating a terrifying destructive aura.
His body sparkled with golden light. He was a Golden Body Luohan. The monstrous beasts that filled the sky could not get close to him. He wielded the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear, slowly moving forward.
Rumble!
The shadow of the gigantic Divine Spear appeared in the sky. It was more than a thousand meters long and had a diameter of a hundred meters. Everywhere it went, all the monstrous beasts crumbled one by one, turning into dust.
Lightning flashed past. A clear passageway appeared in front of Mo Wen. All the monstrous beasts which were blocking his way died. Other monstrous beasts had yet to fill up the void, so it caused such a bizarre, empty passageway to appear on the cloud.
Mo Wen's figure disappeared from his original spot. With a few dashes, he had traversed the distance of a thousand meters, appearing in front of the Fire Scorpion Beast King, which was a thousand meters long.
”Such frightening power. What is that?”
Granny Jin Hua's eyes were filled with awe. She stared shockingly at the empty passageway created by Mo Wen. Her lips quivered, yet she was at a loss for words.
One blow. With just one blow, Mo Wen had created such a destructive scene. Was that power that could be contained by an ancient martial art practitioner?
Even Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan were shocked. They all turned and stared at Mo Wen.
