882 The Secret Powerhouse (1/2)
The beast king died immediately at Mo Wen's hands.
Mo Wen had not used the soul attack in the previous battle so could, at this crucial moment, kill with one strike.
”Die, b*stard!”
The old woman was furious. The beast was her beloved pet, and she had successfully reared it despite the difficulties it had brought her. She had paid a huge price to get this beast and usually treated it as her precious treasure. She cared about it very much.
The beast also meant that she was renowned throughout the Red Stone forest.
Someone had killed her beloved pet right in front of her.
A dark red circle rippled out from the old woman. The circles were like waves, coming one after another, each one layering over the one before. The ripple immediately reached Mo Wen.
The old woman had attacked out of anger, and one could imagine how powerful she was. Mo Wen could not do anything to defend himself because he had attacked and killed the beast. As such, he could only bear the brunt of the attack.
Crash!
Thunder and lightning crashed, and a gale began. Mo Wen and the old woman's palms collided.
The next moment, Mo Wen's body turned into an arc and he flew backward, colliding forcefully with a large tree. He hit several large trees before stopping.
The old woman's cultivation levels were terrifying. They were even higher than White Dust's. She was already in the third martial arts grandmaster realm.
Furthermore, her martial arts realm and battle experience were both astonishing, making her a terrifying opponent.
Perhaps she might not know rite of passage martial arts, but she was much more powerful than Lord Merciless.
Splat!
Mo Wen spat out a mouthful of blood, but he did not stop. He slammed his palm onto the ground and flipped over to a standing position. His body motion was executed perfectly, and he bounded into the distance like a bolt of lightning. He was definitely no match for the old woman and had to run away immediately.
”Damn it! Stay there.”
The old woman was so angry that her face was pale, and her breath was uneven. The trees around her were disturbed by the aura leaking out from her, and they all exploded. Wooded shards filled the air.
She kept her eyes on Mo Wen and gave chase. The two flew and jumped several dozen miles in mere moments. In terms of body motion technique, she was still slightly inferior to Mo Wen now that she had lost the beast. The distance between the two grew wider and wider, and her target gradually disappeared from before her eyes.
”Damn it!”
The old woman could not find anyone to unleash her anger on. She slammed her palm heavily on the ground, and a large crater appeared.
”Damn it. I can't catch the rascal myself. However, the direction he is headed in seems to be the path to the Cold Pool Valley…”
The old woman suddenly calmed down. There was an odd glint in her murky eyes.
”This is heaven's will. That rascal deserves to die. He will die for sure when he finds his way to the Cold Pool Valley.”
The old woman's expression softened when she thought of how terrifying the Cold Pool Valley was. Once the young man entered the Cold Pool Valley, he would certainly die.
…
The Cold Pool Valley was a forbidden region in the Heart of the Red Stone. All the criminals living in the Heart of the Red Stone knew it very well. They were not to enter the lands of the Cold Pool Valley; if they did, they would certainly die. All this while, the Cold Pool Valley was another term for death. Anyone who dared to step in there would not make it out alive.
Mo Wen wiped the blood away from the corners of his mouth and continued forward. Fortunately, he had a very strong physical body and was also protected by the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani. This meant that he had not been that badly hurt.
If anyone else had suffered such a terrible blow, they would have been severely injured and would have been unable to get up. They might even have been killed.
”There seems to be a valley up ahead.”
Mo Wen continued forward. The two sides of the mountains became steep, showing him there must be a valley up ahead.
Mo Wen thought about it for a moment and decided to enter the valley to have a look. After a long chase, he had already lost his sense of direction completely. He did not know which direction he had to walk in to reach the City of the Lost. As such, he needed to find someone to ask for directions.
