712 Encountering the Giant Crocodile Beast King Again (1/2)
The beast pack was as dense as a forest. The huge number of Beast Kings increased the pressure on the human ancient martial art practitioners as they headed for them. Jin Ying's expression, however, was calm. The human ancient martial art practitioners had many strong practitioners among them. They would not necessarily lose to the Fire Domain's Beast Kings.
”Follow me and don't stray too far. It's fine as long as you can protect yourself but you will not be able to handle the Fire Domain's Beast Kings.”
Zong Changsheng grasped the long saber in his hand. His face was extremely serious. This was not Beast King Island where they would be given a second chance at life. Now, death would be permanent. An old bag of bones like him did not have much to be concerned about but Pei Fengwu was still young. The Pei Clan had asked him to take care of her. He had brought her here safely. He would bring her back safely as well.
Pei Fengwu's face was slightly pale. She nodded, recognizing her own strength and her limitations. Even though her cultivation had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, she would most likely be killed right away if her opponent was one of the Fire Domain's Beast Kings. Even if a few more ordinary Beast Kings came over, her life would very likely be in danger.
Aside from a few human ancient martial art practitioners who were exceptionally powerful, most human ancient martial art practitioners felt a sense of danger well up inside of them. None of them had expected that the final challenge would be so difficult. It was just the second round and it was already like this. Was there an even more difficult third round?
Pei Fengwu gently sighed. This time around, no matter what the end result was, there would most likely be a lot of casualties. Whether or not she would survive was unknown. She quickly glanced at Mo Wen and a strange feeling welled up inside of her. Why was it that wherever he was, he could make others inexplicably feel safe? She discovered that when she thought of him, she was not that nervous anymore.
All this while, Mo Wen was a mystery to her. Every time she encountered him, something else surprised her. Right now, he had reached the pinnacle among all the human ancient martial art practitioners, becoming one of the strongest among them. She did not know what other miracles would happen around this youth.
A few of the human ancient martial art practitioners were staring at Mo Wen with complicated expressions on their faces. On the fire cloud, Mo Wen's performance had been exemplary. Many people had not yet recovered from the shock.
”I can't compare with him,” Hao Qian said sadly while lowering his head slightly. He had always been arrogant, yet when faced with such a great youth Hao Qian had to admit defeat. He was utterly impressed by Mo Wen. Hao Qian was left almost speechless by his power and abilities.
At first, both of them had been at the same level. Mo Wen was even slightly weaker than Hao Qian. Yet now, Hao Qian paled into insignificance when compared to Mo Wen. Earlier on, Hao Qian had lost to Mo Wen when they were at the Lotus Lake. Now, there were even fewer things at which Hao Qian could claim to match Mo Wen. Hao Qian had always been proud of his talents and was better than many older ancient martial art practitioners. Now that Hao Qian had met someone who was more talented than him he realized just how much he had left to learn.
The Haokun Sect's Sect Grand Elder glanced at Hao Qian and nodded his head slightly. Maybe this lesson would turn out to be beneficial for Hao Qian.
”Zhangyan, now you understand that I was not trying to scare you earlier,” Gong Xingyu said softly as he sighed. Ever since he had forbidden Gong Zhangyan from approaching Pei Fengwu again, Gong Zhangyan had not spoken to him, giving him the silent treatment. Gong Xingyu had many reasons to wish for Gong Zhangyan to be with Pei Fengwu, who similarly came from an exceptional background? But, if a pursuit of Pei Fengwu offended Mo Wen, he would rather give up on Pei Fengwu and the faction behind her.
Gong Zhangyan merely lowered his head. He did not say a word, but his fist that was clenched began to slowly relax.
Bu Xingyi's expression was one of pure ugliness. He had not expected that Mo Wen would have been so outstanding that all the limelight was on him. This youth had outshone all the other human ancient martial art practitioners.
Only Gao Hanshan and the members of Gao Clan looked excited. The more powerful Mo Wen was and the greater his talent, the more beneficial it was for them.
”This time, we may truly be able to turn it around! Even with the protection of the existence behind the Anti-Ming Faction, we will no longer be hopeless,” Gao Hanshan mumbled. His eyes were filled with a range of emotion: excitement, hope, nervousness, and anxiety all coursed through him.
Jun Wulei clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were lit up with high spirits too.
In front of them, among the sea of Beast Kings, two beams of red light shone. The red light lit up the whole beast pack, which was as dense as the ocean. An impeccable, terrifying aura emanated from the lights. On the plateau, the sea of Beast Kings bowed down. Their eyes were filled with respect and fear. It was as though they were subjects worshipping their lords.
”You have ventured into the second round. In that case, the Fire Snake King and Fire Scorpion Beast King are most likely dead.”
A slightly melancholy voice sounded among the sea of beasts. The next moment, a gigantic figure flew up. A gigantic crocodile, which was a thousand meters long, stretched over the sky. The scales on its body were as large as hills and were sharp and boiling hot.
Although the Fire Snake King and the Fire Scorpion Beast King did not have a good relationship with this crocodile, they had both been Beast Kings of the Fire Domain. They shared a common enemy. Now that the two Beast Kings had died, the crocodile could not help but mourn the death of its kind.
”The Giant Crocodile Beast King!”
Mo Wen slightly narrowed his eyes. This was the third time he had encountered the Giant Crocodile Beast King. The first two times, this absolute mythical beast wanted to send him to his grave, and both times Mo Wen had fled pathetically, nearly dying at its hands. This was his third time going against this mythical beast.
”You will go no further. I will kill you all. I am certain that you will all be defeated before you see Lord Dragon Horse.”
The Giant Crocodile Beast King twisted its huge figure. Every time it moved, the clouds in the sky would churn, the winds would surge and a heatwave would form tornadoes that swept up in all directions.
