Chapter 661

Faced with such a situation, ordinary ancient martial art practitioners would certainly panic. However, Mo Wen remained calm. A gentle breeze blew past his body. The next moment, his falling figure actually stopped and flew forward at a strange angle. It was like a downward parabola. He actually avoided the stone pillar, the crushing of the spikes, and the gravitational force acting on his body at the same time.

Screech!

A sharp eagle's cry suddenly sounded. Then, a green tornado descended from the sky, violently crashing towards Mo Wen.

Once the green tornado appeared, all the wind in the heavens and the earth immediately became chaotic. Right now, it was definitely very difficult to unleash movement techniques that used the direction, speed, and strength of the wind.

However, Mo Wen's Glory of Wind was not affected at all. He successfully avoided the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin's attack.

However, the Cyan Light Eagle clearly did not intend to just stand by and watch. A huge green tornado descended from the sky, covering everything within a radius of a hundred meters.

At the same time, the Erupting Inferno Lion also caught up. A figure burning with raging flames pounced from behind.

As soon as Mo Wen entered the vicinity of the altar, he was immediately surrounded by the three Lord Monstrous Beasts. Before this, the three Lord Monstrous Beasts had not appeared. Clearly, their mission was to protect the altar and the Beast King's treasure.

On the other side, Pei Fengwu and the other two rushed towards the altar with all their might. However, for some unknown reason, Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan's speed had slowed down.

Pei Fengwu turned to look at the two of them. She frowned slightly and said calmly, "The altar is guarded by the three Lord Monstrous Beasts. Only if the four of us work together will we have a chance of snatching the Beast King's treasure. Mo Wen is the strongest among the four of us. If something happens to him, do you think that the three of us can complete the mission?"

She glanced coldly at the two of them. Then, she rushed towards the altar with all her might.

Only if the four of them worked together would they have a glimmer of hope. Any one of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts was an existence that they could not defeat. If Mo Wen had not killed one of the Lord Monstrous Beasts earlier, they might not have stood a chance at all.

Now, as long as three of them each held back one of the Lord Monstrous Beasts, the other would charge into the altar and steal the Beast King's Treasure Box, they would be able to successfully complete the mission.

Although they could not defeat such terrifying monstrous beasts, they could hold them back for a short period of time.

However, Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan intentionally slowed down. They purposely did not go to support Mo Wen. They watched helplessly as Mo Wen was surrounded by the three Lord Monstrous Beasts. Once Mo Wen died at the hands of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts, the three of them would not be able to complete the mission.

"Narrow-minded."

Pei Fengwu glanced coldly at Gong Zhangyan. She knew that the two of them had a grudge against Mo Wen. However, in such an environment, all human ancient martial art practitioners should be closely connected, especially when facing monstrous beasts. They should not have internal strife. She looked down on Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan's actions of abusing their power to take revenge.

Upon hearing this, Gong Zhangyan's face turned slightly red. He could ignore the words of others, but he could not ignore Pei Fengwu's words. He sighed slightly and did not delay any further. He rushed towards the central altar with all his might.

Hou Jingfeng's expression changed. After hesitating for a moment, he rushed towards the central altar with all his might. Although he hoped that Mo Wen would die at the hands of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts, Pei Fengwu was right. If Mo Wen died, it would be almost impossible for them to snatch the Beast King's Treasure Box.

Comparatively speaking, the Tower Spirit's mission was the most important. As for Mo Wen, there would be plenty of ways to kill him in the future.

Mo Wen was surrounded by the three Lord Monstrous Beasts. The pressure on him increased greatly, and he could no longer take another step forward.

Any one of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts was terrifying. With the three of them joining forces to surround and kill him, it would be difficult for Mo Wen to even protect himself.

The Cyan Light Eagle controlled the power of wind. It could control the wind in the heavens and earth as it pleased. If it was not for the fact that Mo Wen's Glory of Wind was a rite of passage martial art, he would not have been able to unleash it in such an environment.

The Erupting Inferno Lion controlled the power of fire. It was the Lord Monstrous Beast with the strongest attack. Mo Wen did not dare to fight it head-on. He would be injured even if he accidentally brushed against it.

As for the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin, it was the strongest support partner on the battlefield. It controlled the power of earth and weakened Mo Wen's abilities in all aspects.

It could be said that Mo Wen was in a precarious situation when fighting against these three mythical beasts.

Mo Wen frowned slightly. If this continued, not only would he be unable to enter the altar, but he would most likely die at the hands of the three mythical beasts.

Just as he was considering whether to retreat for now, a white silhouette had already entered the central square.

As soon as the white silhouette appeared, it flew into the air and headed straight for the Cyan Light Eagle. It was none other than Pei Fengwu. She held a spiritual weapon longsword in her hand and looked like an immortal who had flown down from the heavens.

Screech!

The Cyan Light Eagle cried out angrily. A bolt of green lightning shot out from its mouth and collided with Pei Fengwu's misty white sword Qi. After shattering her sword Qi, the Cyan Light Eagle continued forward. Pei Fengwu brandished a cold sword Qi. The green lightning shattered more than ten of the sword Qi before slowly disappearing.

At the same time, a green pillar of light descended from the sky. It turned into a tornado and furiously enveloped Pei Fengwu. The Cyan Light Eagle had already launched its second wave of attacks. The four Lord Monstrous Beasts were too powerful. Apart from Mo Wen, the other four people who had entered the ancient city would find it difficult to fend off a Lord Monstrous Beast alone.

At the same time, Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan had also entered the central square.

"Mo Wen, you enter the altar. The three of us will be responsible for holding it back," Pei Fengwu said softly.

Pei Fengwu shouted softly, and the white pearl bracelet in her hand lit up with a bright light. The space was slightly distorted, and a circle of white light silently appeared around the green tornado, wrapping it up.

The huge tornado that was enveloping them suddenly paused. However, it was only for an instant before it broke free from the white circle of light and continued to envelop them.

However, in that instant, Pei Fengwu had already retreated a hundred meters, narrowly avoiding the terrifying attack of the Cyan Light Eagle.

"Humph, why should we hold back the mythical beasts while he snatches the Beast King's Treasure Box?"

Hou Jingfeng coldly snorted. Everyone knew that the Beast King's Treasure Box was most likely not simple. Perhaps there really was a treasure inside. He could tell that Pei Fengwu had always been on Mo Wen's side.

"That's right. Why should we risk our lives to fight the mythical beasts while he benefits?" Gong Zhangyan naturally would not agree to this.

"If the two of you think that you have the ability to snatch the Beast King's Treasure Box, you can go ahead. I have no objections."

With Pei Fengwu holding back the Cyan Light Eagle, the pressure on Mo Wen was greatly reduced. He glanced at the altar and smiled coldly. He said, "I'm just afraid that you will overestimate yourselves and lose your lives for nothing."

"Don't be alarmist. If I want to go, I'll go."

Hou Jingfeng laughed coldly. He had no intention of attacking the mythical beasts at all. With a flash, he headed straight for the altar in the center.

"Why should you be the one going?"

Gong Zhangyan coldly snorted. He was naturally unwilling to give this opportunity to Hou Jingfeng. With a flash of his silhouette, he headed straight for the altar in the center. He had no intention of helping to hold back the mythical beasts.

"The two of you …"

Pei Fengwu had not expected that the two of them would be so weak. They were actually scheming against each other at a time like this. It was practically absurd. If she and Mo Wen were left behind, they might not be able to stop the three mythical beasts. It was very likely that they would pay with their lives.

Roar!

Roar! The three mythical beasts naturally would not allow someone to charge into the altar. They immediately abandoned Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu and attacked Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan.

To the mythical beasts, they would kill anyone who approached the altar.

Pei Fengwu laughed coldly. She prepared to stop and let the Cyan Light Eagle attack Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan.

"Elder Sister Fengwu, let the two of them go. I want to see if they can snatch the Beast King's Treasure Box."

Mo Wen laughed calmly. He pointed with his finger and the Gray Mountain Peak released a brilliant light. It was the first time it had initiated an attack on the mythical beasts, creating an opportunity for Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan to charge into the altar.

Although it was difficult for Mo Wen to kill a Lord Monstrous Beast, it was not difficult for him to restrain two Lord Monstrous Beasts.

The Gray Mountain Peak suddenly grew in size. With a flash of light, it appeared in front of the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin as though it had teleported. Even the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin would find it difficult to break through the power of a top grade spiritual weapon.

Mo Wen's silhouette flashed. The wind blew and the leaves flew. He appeared in front of the Erupting Inferno Lion, blocking it.

Pei Fengwu sighed softly when she saw Mo Wen stop the two mythical beasts. She did not say anything more. The white pearl bracelet on her snow-white wrist released a dazzling light. This time, the seven white jade pearls shone brightly at the same time. A vast aura emanated from the white jade bracelet.

Even with the power of the Cyan Light Eagle, it was unable to break free from Pei Fengwu's grasp in a short period of time. It was shocked and angry, crying out in panic.

Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu had successfully restrained the three mythical beasts.

Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan were unobstructed. Very quickly, they arrived in front of the altar. The altar was enveloped by a layer of light. However, the layer of light seemed to only be used to block out sound. It did not have any defensive capabilities. The two of them easily passed through the light layer. With a flash of light, they appeared on the altar.

Because of the light layer, the people outside could not see what was happening inside the altar. After Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan entered the altar, there was no more sound. Everything was calm.

Only outside the altar, the battle became more and more intense. The three mythical beasts roared crazily. It was as though their children had been killed. They attacked Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu crazily.

The abilities of the two of them were extraordinary. After Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan entered the altar, they no longer needed to be restrained. They only needed to dodge the attacks of the mythical beasts. Hence, for a while, the three mythical beasts could not do anything to them.

As Pei Fengwu battled the Cyan Light Eagle, she silently calculated the time. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be able to block the Cyan Light Eagle for five minutes. This amount of time should be enough for Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan to snatch the Beast King's Treasure Box.

However, what Pei Fengwu did not expect was that in just the time of five breaths, the light shroud that enveloped the altar suddenly shook.

Then, two silhouettes flew out one after the other. They were like trash that had been thrown out, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Pei Fengwu's eyes widened as she looked at the two people on the ground. Who else could it be but Gong Zhangyan and Hou Jingfeng? How long had they been in there? In just the time of a few breaths, they had been thrown out. What was going on? (To be continued.)
