693 The Speed of Life and Death

In the sky and on the ground, a large number of monstrous beasts began to move at the same time. Tens of thousands of beasts left their dens. Although Mo Wen was horrified, the scene was also somewhat majestic.

"F*ck." Even Mo Wen could not help but utter a profanity.

It was too cruel. The Tower Spirit was too cruel!

Mo Wen now understood what the crimson sun meant. It was gathering all the Beast King monstrous beasts to initiate an attack against the remaining human ancient martial art practitioners.

The four of them were now each enveloped by a layer of crimson light. It would be impossible for them to hide.

Initially, Mo Wen had thought that this task would continue smoothly until the time ran out. Now he realized he had been naïve. The Tower Spirit had no intention of letting them complete the task easily at all.

Although there was only an hour left, Mo Wen had no confidence at all that he could survive for long enough against the Beast Wave of the entire Beast King Island.

Just an hour.

How difficult would it be to survive for an hour while being hunted by a large number of monstrous beasts?

Mo Wen laughed bitterly. This new difficulty made him unable to foresee the final result. This was the first time since he had received the task, that Mo Wen had no confidence in the outcome.

Cursing also sounded simultaneously from the other three people left on Beast King Island. Everyone felt that the Tower Spirit had gone too far. The Beast King Island was already perilous. Now, the Tower Spirit had summoned a Beast Wave to go against them.

Nangong Mingzhu stood on a mountain peak. Hidden under the mask, her gaze was serious. For the first time, panic flashed past her eyes.

Among all the human ancient martial art practitioners, her cultivation was ranked first. She was approaching the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. She was much stronger than the Mo Wen at his current level. However, even as an immortal cultivator, she did not seem to be confident about being able to survive a further hour on this island.

If her cultivation or her treasures were not restricted, she might stand a chance. However, right now, not only was her cultivation restricted, even many of the treasures that she brought with her had yet to be unsealed. Against such a wave of Beast Kings, whether or not she could survive most likely depended on luck.

"Damn it!"

A black-robed man, who was standing beside a lake, sent out a palm strike forcefully. A large area of the lake froze into ice around him. This man was none other than Chu Yuan, the leader of the Ghost Lair's team.

However, after venting his frustration, he noticed that the whole lake was disturbed. One by one, the Beast Kings which inhabited the water surfaced. They slowly surrounded him.

"This is going too far. Truly too far."

Tan Qiyue was traversing a desert. His face was pale as he mumbled to himself. He was being chased by a pack of monstrous beasts. The pack included desert beast type Beast Kings, scorpion type Beast Kings, and lizard type Beast Kings. In the sky, eagle type Beast Kings could also be seen.

There were also some Beast Kings blocking his route ahead. Tan Qiyue had a sense that there was nowhere to run.

Mo Wen utilized the Glory of Wind. He constantly dodged all the creatures heading for him and concealed himself in the forest. One after another, Beast Kings appeared in the woods, besieging Mo Wen frenziedly.

Many Beast Kings hovered in the sky. Once in a while, they would pounce on Mo Wen, attacking him forcefully.

Mo Wen's face was pale. There was a blood stain at the corner of his mouth. He would most likely have been killed by now if he did not have a large number of Healing Lights with him. Fortunately, his cultivation had increased significantly when he killed the Five Colored Spider Beast King. If it had not, against such a lineup, Mo Wen believed that he absolutely would not have survived more than fifteen minutes.

A huge yellow tornado descended from the sky, directly crashing towards Mo Wen. Everywhere it passed was left in chaos.

A hand formed of coalesced energy that had been covering the sky suddenly flicked out, furiously grabbing at Mo Wen.

Out of nowhere, a blue light appeared near him. The gravity in the area it covered increased tenfold.

From time to time, the ground would collapse and meteors would fall.

The attack of one Beast King was rather frightening, let alone so many Beast Kings attacking simultaneously.

All the Beast Kings looked at Mo Wen with a greedy expression. They were salivating from the corners of their mouths, as though eating him could immediately cause them to ascend to become an immortal.

Mo Wen laughed bitterly. Nebulas enveloped him. He activated the Glory of Cloud to its limit. With a sway of his figure, illusions appeared in mid-air. Then, at the same time, he also unleashed the Glory of Wind, splitting apart and escaping in different directions, narrowly escaping the attacks of some of the Beast Kings.

However, he had just evaded one set of attacks, when another set descended. They seemed endless.

Mo Wen unleashed the Glory of Wind and the Glory of Cloud to their utmost limit. Although he could evade most of the attacks, there were still some attacks that he could not escape from. Every so often, he would abruptly be swept up by a gale, smashed by a falling meteor or be sent flying by an iron fist that came from nowhere.

Ptui! Mo Wen forcefully spat out a mouthful of blood. A blue arrow dodged his senses and silently punctured him from behind. The arrow penetrated his body.

In normal circumstances, it would not be easy for hidden enemies like this to hurt Mo Wen. However, right now, he faced too many attacks. It was impossible for him to attend to everything. He was a little careless and it resulted in him being severely injured.

The blue arrow contained an unparalleled Cold Qi. Once it pierced through Mo Wen's body, it emanated a beam of cold energy, intending to completely freeze him.

Mo Wen circulated his Nine Yin Divine Technique. A beam of golden light burst out of his body. The light burned ferociously, instantly dispersing the Cold Qi on the arrow. However, the arrow had penetrated his abdomen and already injured his internal organs. He had to use a medium-grade Healing Light to heal himself.

However, just as he healed one set of injuries, he would be injured again in the next moment. This pattern repeated itself constantly.

"This won't do. This can't go on. Otherwise, I will most likely not even last half an hour, let alone an hour."

Mo Wen clenched his teeth tightly. The medium-grade Healing Lights were having a limited effect and his supply would not last much later. Once he ran out of Healing Lights, the end would be near.

A twinkle flashed in his eyes. It was not enough just to try and escape attacks. Only by being more powerful would he survive.

Cultivation at the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, together with the treasures he had and his various powerful martial art teachings would mean it was easy for him to last another hour.

Without Martial Arts Grandmaster cultivation, or anything close to it, he would certainly be unable to last.

"Right now, there is only one way for me, and that is to kill Beast Kings. One more Beast King and my cultivation can advance further, breaking through to the later stage of the Golden Elixir Realm. Only then can I possibly survive."

Mo Wen had a tense look. Under such conditions, he clearly knew how extremely difficult it would be to kill a Beast King. However, no matter how difficult, he still had to try.

A beam of golden light lit up from his body. The Indestructible Body of Vajrapani was activated to the limit. With a twist of his figure, and after evading a few waves of attacks from the Beast Kings, he shifted his gaze and locked on to one of them.

On the ground, there was a huge white bear. Although the white bear was enormous, its cultivation was not very high. At most, it was slightly more powerful than the Five Colored Spider. Its movements were also clumsy. A large target was undoubtedly the easiest prey to catch.

Mo Wen suddenly turned and flew towards the White Bear Beast King.

In the blink of an eye, Mo Wen appeared before the White Bear monstrous beast. The Cries of Hades Bell in his hand emanated a brilliant purple light. Mo Wen's gaze shone with bright golden light. Combined with the soul attack of the Divine Soul Trillion Layers, the Cries of Hades Bell furiously released its strongest attack, furiously crashing towards the White Bear Beast King.

The White Bear Beast King was rather alert. In the instant that Mo Wen flew over, it immediately sensed danger. It furiously roared and smashed both of its arms into the ground. A beam of ice and snow shot up to the sky, becoming a snowstorm.

In the snowstorm, there was a fifty-meter long glacial spike as thick as a grown man's arm. It heading straight for Mo Wen.

At the same time, the attack of the Cries of Hades Bell also landed on the White Bear Beast King's body.

The huge White Bear Beast King cried out in pain. It frantically clutched its huge head as though it was drunk. Its huge figure trembled as blood poured out from its orifices.

Mo Wen faced the snowstorm head on. He didn't even have time to use the mountain and river painting profound level weapon. Instead, he used the power of his body and the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani to make his charge.

He knew that, under such conditions, once he wasted time unleashing the illusionary mountains, he would certainly be hit by the attacks of the other Beast Kings. It would be enough to instantly deplete all of his Inner Qi and would mean he was unable to attack the White Bear Beast King again.

The Indestructible Body of Vajrapani took an attack from one of the Beast Kings. Cracks began to appear on Mo Wen's golden body. The cracks extended, and fresh red blood flowed out from the wound. The huge glacial spike was directly crushed by Mo Wen's Blood Clotting Claw. However, the effort left his left arm completely shattered.

A Beast King's attack was so powerful. With such a clash, even with Mo Wen's body, it was impossible not to pay a price. Moreover, the White Bear Beast King was a Beast King that specialized in strength.

Despite being severely injured, Mo Wen was able to finally approach the White Bear Beast King. His body unleashed an unparalleled light. Lightning surged from his body. His aura instantly doubled. The Sacred Fire Sword in his right hand released a terrifying light.

However, Mo Wen did not immediately attack. Having battled Beast Kings many times, he knew how hard it was to kill them.

An illusion of a Tai Chi Diagram appeared in the air. It slightly turned and enveloped the White Bear Beast King within it. A terrifying binding force trapped its body.

At the same time, a fuchsia talisman flew out from Mo Wen's sleeve. It was the eighth rank talisman that he had obtained from killing the snake type Beast King. The might of the eighth rank talisman was rumored to be enough to kill a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Its attack power was without equal.

Once the fuchsia talisman appeared, it began to burn. A mass of fuchsia light appeared. The mass of light emanated a power wave that made people tremble.

A fuchsia bird flew out from the mass of light. It let out a crisp cry, and then furiously crashed towards the White Bear Beast King.

Right now, the White Bear Beast King had just recovered from the first attack. It felt the fuchsia bird's aura and was so scared its fur stood on end. It immediately thought of escaping. However, when it tried to move it realized that there was a terrifying power pulling against it, causing its body to stop.

The momentary pause in its movement allowed the fuchsia bird to reach the White Bear Beast King. It crashed straight into it.
