Bu Xingyi's move was insidious. It was fine if Mo Wen won, but if he failed, who knew what he would say about Mo Wen.
Even though the truth was that Bu Xingyi was incompetent and had led to such a situation, twisting the truth and making a false accusation against Mo Wen could still be blamed. After all, the human ancient martial art practitioners outside did not know the specifics of the mission. It was not difficult for the Ming Temple Sect Grand Elder to use his influence to slander an unknown youth.
Mo Wen looked coldly at Bu Xingyi. A murderous glint flashed in his eyes. This old thing was indeed shameless. He was shameless to the extreme.
"Mo Wen, before this, you did not lend me a profound level weapon. That is why I failed the mission. Now, if you use your position to avenge a personal grudge and do not try your best, deliberately losing to the Beast King, then the entire matter will be your responsibility. You have to think clearly. I do not believe that you, with three profound level weapons, cannot defeat a Beast King. I hope you can look at the bigger picture. "
Bu Xingyi put his hands behind his back and spoke sanctimoniously.
If Mo Wen was defeated while challenging the Beast King, Bu Xingyi naturally had a way to push all the blame onto Mo Wen. Then, the ancient martial art practitioners outside would not know the specifics of the situation. Naturally, all the blame would be on Mo Wen alone.
Bu Xingyi smiled insidiously. He hoped that Mo Wen would not win and just lose to the Beast King. He naturally had a way to make Mo Wen and the others despise him.
"Shameless person!"
Gao Hanshan took a deep breath. He had not expected that Bu Xingyi would be so shameless. There was no limit to how shameless he could be.
With Bu Xingyi's status as the Ming Temple Sect Grand Elder, if he deliberately slandered Mo Wen, it was possible that Mo Wen's reputation would be ruined.
Perhaps he could use his status as the clan leader of the Gao Clan to explain. However, since ancient times, people only looked at the results and not the process. The people in the outside world had not received the double boost, so they would naturally be resentful. Once they knew that Mo Wen had failed the entire mission because he did not defeat the Beast King, their first impression of Mo Wen would certainly not be very good.
If the Gao Clan came out to explain, the effect would be minimal. It would not be as effective as the Ming Temple slandering Mo Wen.
Lan Zhongzhi also frowned. Bu Xingyi was too shameless. He still had the face to plot against Mo Wen. However, he also knew that this mission was too important to all human ancient martial art practitioners. He also did not wish for Mo Wen to be defeated.
"That brat called Mo Wen, no matter what happened before, now that the Tower Spirit has chosen you, if you do not complete the task, I will definitely kill you. Think about it. If you do not want to die, then go all out and kill the Beast King."
The leader of the Ghost Lair, Chu Yuan, who had been silent all this while, suddenly spoke up. His eyes stared at Mo Wen, seemingly telling him that he was not lying.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Mingzhu frowned slightly. Everyone here knew that Bu Xingyi was the one who had caused the trouble. It was not Mo Wen's fault. Right now, Chu Yuan was targeting Mo Wen. He had gone too far. However, she also knew that the reason why Chu Yuan had said this was to force Mo Wen to go all out. He wanted Mo Wen to view this battle with his life on the line.
However, with Chu Yuan's personality, once Mo Wen failed and did not complete the task, he would certainly kill Mo Wen.
"Ridiculous!"
Mo Wen was so angry that he wanted to laugh. He had stepped forward to make up for someone else's mistake. He had to face the pressure of a Beast King, but in the end, it was all his fault.
He ignored Bu Xingyi, who was like a clown. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He looked coldly at Chu Yuan and said, "Anyone who wants to kill me is someone I must kill. Now that you have said this, regardless of whether I defeat the Beast King or not, I will definitely kill you in the future."
"Arrogant! Young man, you are indeed arrogant. "
Chu Yuan clearly had not expected that Mo Wen would suddenly say this. The black fog that enveloped him changed. In the end, it suddenly retracted. He looked at Mo Wen and laughed sinisterly. There was an indescribable darkness in his laughter.
"You want to kill me? Alright, I will wait for you. I want to see who will die at whose hands, "Chu Yuan said lightly.
He only needed to capture Mo Wen, who did not know the immensity of heaven and earth. Then, he would use his actions to teach him what it meant to offend one's superiors and what it meant to be arrogant and ignorant.
Also, the lad had quite a number of treasures on him. Chu Yuan had long had the intention of taking them. Now, he could openly snatch them.
Nangong Mingzhu looked askance at Chu Yuan. Then, she looked at Mo Wen playfully. This youth was quite bold. Others might not know where Chu Yuan came from, but how could she not know? Perhaps in the Ghost Lair, Chu Yuan's status was not very high. However, he had at least ten Martial Arts Grandmasters under him. If he randomly sent a few of them, they would be able to eradicate some of the large sects in the ancient martial arts world.
As expected, a newborn calf was not afraid of a tiger. Youths could not help but be a little arrogant.
Nangong Mingzhu did not say much. This matter had nothing to do with her Demonic Sky. Naturally, there was no need for her to interfere. Also, she hoped that Mo Wen could kill the Beast King. Even though using such a method to force him was a little immoral, she was not the one who would do such a thing. She was happy to watch.
Mo Wen ignored Chu Yuan. He knew that Chu Yuan was very powerful. He also knew that Chu Yuan came from the mysterious Ghost Lair. However, Chu Yuan had already come to bully him. There was no reason for Mo Wen to back down. He could be wary of some factions, but he would not back down because of this. A man should stand tall.
A halo of light descended from the sky, enveloping Mo Wen. The next moment, he disappeared from the altar.
He was in a sea of magma. Wherever he looked, the magma churned and waves of heat assaulted him.
If he did not know that he was in the Fighting Spirit Tower, Mo Wen would have thought that he had returned to the sea of magma in the Fire Domain.
Rumble!
A wave suddenly appeared in the sea of magma. The wave surged forward violently, carrying with it a terrifying might.
It was the aura of a Beast King. A Beast King was clearly hidden in the sea of magma.
Mo Wen extended his hand and pointed. A scroll appeared in front of him. The moment the scroll appeared, it suddenly unfurled. A landscape painting was revealed.
It was a majestic mountain peak. The scroll shook slightly. The mountain seemed to have burrowed out of the scroll and appeared above Mo Wen's head.
It was an illusion of a mountain. The illusion was huge, infinitely huge. It stood on top of the mountain. Mo Wen could faintly see the scenery of the mountain. There were lakes, streams, waterfalls, mountain beasts, birds, and lush trees.
Aside from the fact that it was an illusion, everything else was no different from a mountain in nature.
Mo Wen stood in the middle of the mountain. The entire mountain seemed to have surrounded him in the middle.
Rumble!
The waves of magma surged forward and crashed into the illusion of the mountain. In an instant, they were all swept back. The majestic illusion of the mountain did not even shake.
A ferocious tail stretched out from the sea of magma. The tail was hundreds of meters long and as thick as a wooden barrel. It stretched across the sky and with a swoosh, it was like a whip that fiercely lashed out at the illusion of the mountain.
Rumble!
The illusion of the mountain shook for a while. It was as though the earth was shaking and the sky was collapsing. However, no matter how it shook, the illusion of the mountain still stood in the air and showed no signs of dispersing.
A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He was in the center of the mountain. Even though the illusion of the mountain kept shaking, it did not affect him at all. With him as the center, everything within a hundred-meter radius remained the same.
"As expected of a profound level weapon. Its defensive power is indeed astonishing."
After taking a direct hit from the Beast King, the illusion of the mountain did not show any signs of dispersing. Mo Wen did not even feel much.
However, even though the defensive power of a profound level weapon was astonishing, the amount of inner Qi it expended was also astonishing. He had merely blocked an attack from the Beast King once and a fifth of the inner Qi in his body had been forcefully drained.
If the Beast King attacked continuously, he could at most block five attacks.
Mo Wen took out a few low-grade Recovery Lights from the medicine spiritual ring and continuously used them on himself. Only then did he completely recover the inner Qi he had just expended.
Roar!
A beast's roar sounded from the sea of magma. Then, the surface of the magma rose and a huge beast's head emerged from the surface.
It was a huge beast's head. It was the size of a millstone. The snake's head was very ferocious. There were all kinds of horns on its head and there was a single horn between its eyebrows. Flames danced on the horn and it emanated a rather frightening aura.
At first glance, Mo Wen thought that he had encountered the Fire Snake King of the Fire Domain's Seven Major Beast Kings. However, Mo Wen knew that this was not the case. The Fire Snake King was a life form of the Fire Domain. The snake type Beast King before him was merely an illusionary beast created by the Tower Spirit.
The snake type Beast King's eyes emanated a demonic red light. As the red light flickered, densely packed fire spears suddenly appeared in the sky. The fire spears were like raindrops, falling from the sky and crashing into the illusion of the mountain.
Rumble!
The fire spears crashed into the illusion of the mountain. After they collided, they exploded and gave off continuous explosive sounds.
Mo Wen rolled his eyes. The Beast King's intelligence was astonishing. It was clearly using this method to deplete Mo Wen's inner Qi. When Mo Wen's inner Qi was almost depleted, it would naturally be much easier to attack and kill Mo Wen.
The power of a Beast King was equivalent to a few human Martial Arts Grandmasters. Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen would not be able to withstand the snake type Beast King's depletion.
However, the snake type Beast King did not seem to know that human ancient martial art practitioners had something called the Recovery Light. If Mo Wen was willing to continue fighting the snake type Beast King, he would definitely be able to deplete the Beast King's energy.
However, Mo Wen was not prepared to do so. That would be too much of a waste of the Recovery Light. Although the defensive power of the mountain profound level weapon was astonishing, it was too large of a target. It was very easy for an enemy to deliberately use it to deplete its power. Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen would not be willing to carry such a large mountain on him.
The reason why he had used the mountain profound level weapon right from the start was to understand its defensive power. He did not want to be ignorant when he really needed it.
Without waiting for the snake type Beast King to continue exhausting his inner Qi, Mo Wen put away the scroll profound level weapon. The next moment, the huge illusion of the mountain disappeared.
As for Mo Wen, he disappeared from his original spot in an instant. He became a gust of wind and escaped the area of the rain of fire spears. (To be continued.)
