727 Half-Demon (1/2)

Chu Yuan's face kept changing. One moment it was green: the next it was pale. He was hesitant.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was not his Ten Soul Banner. Instead, it was a treasure that came from one of the top leaders of the Ghost Lair, Lord Blood Soul.

Lord Blood Soul's Ten Thousand Soul Banner was a Hundred Soul Banner, but not just an ordinary one. The souls of more than five hundred immortal cultivators were contained within it. Its might was rather frightening. Chu Yuan had come to the Fire Domain on the orders of Lord Blood Soul. He was under orders to obtain the spiritual fire and was given the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to support his endeavor.

He would not and dared not use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner at all unless it was an absolute last resort.

He never imagined that Nangong Mingzhu had been locked onto him since the start.

Chu Yuan was not willing to give the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to Mo Wen. Setting aside his grudge with Mo Wen, it was a treasure of Lord Blood Soul. If anything happened to it, ten of his lives would not be enough to compensate for it.

”If you do not hand it over, you will soon die. No matter how good the treasure is, it's not more important than your life, is it?” Nangong Mingzhu said coldly. Because of her words, all the human ancient martial art practitioners looked at Chu Yuan. Their intentions could be seen in their expressions.

Right now, everyone placed their hopes in Mo Wen. Although Chu Yuan had the ability to contribute some power, he had not done so. His behavior had aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone.

Chu Yuan's expression became more and more hideous. It wasn't that he wasn't willing to contribute. In truth, he was afraid of dying and he had also hoped that Mo Wen would win. But the Hundred Soul Banner was too important. It was fine if he let Mo Wen use it for a bit. What he was afraid of was giving it to Mo Wen and not being able to get it back. How would he return and answer to Lord Blood Soul?

”Don't think about such foolish things such as punishments when you get back. Right now, we have a slim chance of surviving. It's hard to even say whether you can make it back alive. Maybe all of us will die here. Right now, with death knocking at the door, don't you want to try for a chance to live? You are still thinking about the future?” Nangong Mingzhu said mockingly. She saw through Chu Yuan thoughts at a glance.

Mo Wen slowly turned his head, glancing at Chu Yuan and not saying anything. Chu Yuan shuddered uncontrollably. Although right now Mo Wen's gaze was rather calm and his mannerisms were peaceful, Mo Wen's aura was too frightening. He displayed no killing intent or malice but it seemed that he only needed to extend a finger to crush Chu Yuan to death.

Chu Yuan looked at Mo Wen with a sense of awe. His heart uncontrollably welled up with both respect and fear.

”This Ten Thousand Soul Banner is the most valuable treasure of the Ghost Lair. It does not belong to me. Right now, the situation is urgent, so I will lend it to you temporarily. If we make it through this difficult time, please return it to me immediately. If you do not, and the Ghost Lair comes looking for who was to blame, the price you will be required to pay will be too high.”

Chu Yuan took a deep breath. He took out a small flag with a black background and red marks with a skull etched on it. After passing it to Mo Wen, he bravely forced himself to warn Mo Wen of the consequences. His words contained some level of threat. If Mo Wen defeated the Dragon Horse and managed to survive, but did not return the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to Chu Yuan, Mo Wen would certainly be sought out by the Ghost Lair for questioning.

Mo Wen smiled as he received the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. A playful look flashed in his eyes. Chu Yuan really expected Mo Wen to return something that had fallen into hands?

”Relax. The Dragon Horse is so powerful that I may not be a match for it at all. If I die, so be it. There's no point worrying about it so much. I feel that you should think about choosing a way to die. Don't be eaten alive by a Beast King again,” Mo Wen said with a fake smile.

”You…”

Chu Yuan's expression was ugly. He opened his mouth but did not dare say anything. Before Mo Wen, he was no more than an ant. Mo Wen could crush Chu Yuan to death in any way that pleased him.

Mo Wen ignored Chu Yuan. Lightning flashed and four shrouds of light flew out, appearing in the sky above.

They had just appeared when Mo Wen felt an absolutely strong aura surging towards him. A few thousand meters apart and the Dragon Horse's power could already be sensed.

”Are you all prepared? Are you the only one who will fight?” The Dragon Horse slowly opened its eyes. Golden light shone from her eyes, like a newborn sun.

”You are very powerful. Only I can pose any kind of resistance to you.” Mo Wen spoke honestly. The Dragon Horse was indeed very powerful. Even the current him most likely only had a ten percent chance of defeating the Dragon Horse.

With a ninety percent chance of dying, it was indeed a slim chance of surviving.

But, no matter how difficult it was, it was impossible for him to just sit there and await death. He would try his best to put up a good fight. As for whether he lived or died, that was all up to fate.

”You are indeed not bad, but you are still not enough. You are far from enough. The Tower Spirit must have given you some extraordinary powers, otherwise, it would be impossible for it to have called you to challenge me,” the Dragon Horse said softly. She believed that Mo Wen appearing before her was no coincidence. The existence was always guiding everything at all times.

No one knew the mind of the Tower Spirit and no one knew what the end result would be. Even if she possessed an absolute advantage, she did not dare be certain that she would be laughing at the end. After so many things had happened, right now, the Dragon Horse understood matters very well.

”I am the one who will challenge you. No one will know the result until the end,” Mo Wen said with a plain smile. A golden light burned on his body. The golden light became more brilliant as the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani covered his entire body. His entire person seemed to have metalized. This time, not only did he have a golden body, but a layer of armor had coalesced on top of his body.
