Chapter 2696: A Grand Exalt’s Secret Technique

Jin Hong became stern as well. He said grimly, “There are actually over fifty Godking Life-devouring Beasts. This is the most dangerous threat we’ve encountered ever since we entered the Two World Mountains. Yang Yutian, let’s kill these Life-devouring Beasts quickly so that we can minimize our casualties.”

The early Godking Life-devouring Beasts obviously could not annihilate Jin Hong’s group, but it would shave away a portion of the group’s strength, which would weaken them greatly.

None of the prodigies here had entered the World of the Fallen Beast to fight against the Life-devouring Beasts. They had come to visit Hundred Saint City and control the various incidents happening in the city. If they lost too much power here, even if they emerged from the Two World Mountains successfully, they would not have the strength to deal with what was going on in Hundred Saint City. By then, it would be pointless for them to have entered the World of the Fallen Beast in the first place.

Jin Hong understood this extremely well, which was why he told Jian Chen to take action immediately. Within the group, only he and Jian Chen could kill these Life-devouring Beasts quickly, and with the death of each beast, a few extra sacrificial Godkings would be able to survive.

Right after Jin Hong finished speaking, before he even had the opportunity to take action, three presences that surpassed early Godkings suddenly swept forth. They were as heavy as mountains, flooding the entire battlefield.

Jin Hong immediately discovered the three ten-meter-long, winged wolves in the mist within the limited range he could sense of around twenty kilometres. Their dull, unintelligent eyes shone with blood-red light as they steadily approached the battlefield.

“Oh no, mid Godking Life-devouring Beasts!” Jin Hong’s face changed, and he immediately alerted the prodigies there.

“What? More mid Godking Life-devouring Beasts? And three at the same time…”

“We encountered a mid Godking Life-devouring Beast a few days ago, which took a heavy toll on us. It took us a tremendous amount of effort to kill it, yet three have appeared at the same time now. How are we supposed to deal with this…”

Aside from Jian Chen, the expressions of all the other prodigies present changed. Even He Qianqian’s heart grew heavy. The strength of the Life-devouring Beast they had encountered a few days ago had left a permanent impression in everyone’s mind. It was already so difficult to kill alone, yet three had come now. Many of the prodigies became despaired.

“Mid Godking Life-devouring Beasts are no weaker than late Godkings. If I use my full strength, I should be able to kill one,” Jin Hong said sternly before looking at Jian Chen.

“I think I can keep one busy,” Jian Chen said with uncertainty, acting as if he were not very confident.

“Alright then. I’ll deal with one of the three Life-devouring Beasts. Yang Yutian will handle another, and the last one shouldn’t pose a problem if you all work together. Yang Yutian, no matter what you do, you have to keep the Life-devouring Beast busy for an hour. I will kill the one I’m fighting within the hour, and then I’ll come to assist you immediately,” Jin Hong said sternly.

“Brother Yang Yutian, as long as you can keep it busy for an hour, you will have helped our group tremendously. All of us will owe you a favour. Once we make it out of the Two World Mountains and Chu Jie plans on making more trouble for you, I, Ping Yisheng, will definitely be standing on your said,” said a prodigy. His name was Ping Yisheng, the leader of the Empirelotus Sword sect.

“Count me in. My Sun family isn’t afraid of their Chu family, Gong clan, Zhao clan, Cangqiong clan, and Yuqiong sect…” The leader of the Sun family, Sun Zhi, added as well.

“My Man family as well…”

With that, over a dozen large clans voiced their support of Jian Chen. This warped Chu Jie, Kong Feiying, Zhou Zhi, Zhao Wenbin, and Gong Ruize’s faces greatly, as if it were disastrous.

By now, Jin Hong had already flown off first, engaging in a battle against a mid Godking Life-devouring Beast. Booms constantly rang out. It was extremely intense.

Jian Chen did not make too much idle talk with them. He clasped his fist at them before shooting off in Jin Hong’s direction in a flash. Very soon, he was locked in battle against a second Life-devouring Beast.

Regarding the third Life-devouring Beast, the remaining prodigies led a few sacrificial Godkings with them and surrounded it. Several hundred people took part in the encirclement.

“Everyone, lock down on your life force. We can’t let our life force become energy that strengthens the Life-devouring Beast.”

Jian Chen and Jin Hong were better off. As long as the Life-devouring Beasts did not land a blow on them, they would not be able to absorb their life force. However, the prodigies who faced the third Life-devouring Beast were not so fortunate. Their life force would be automatically siphoned away once they approached a certain range. Even if they did all that they could to lock it down, it would still flow away slowly.

All of the life force would be siphoned into the Life-devouring Beast’s body, allowing it to constantly strengthen instead.

They were helpless with this. They could only grit their teeth and endure it. They could not reduce the number of people taking part in the attack. Due to the difference in cultivation, an extremely wide gap existed between them and the Life-devouring Beast. They needed an absolute numerical advantage to keep it at bay. Only then would the possibility of survival be greater.

If the sacrificial Godkings were not present, the Life-devouring Beast definitely would not be able to absorb as much life force, but a few of the prodigies would die as well.

None of them wished to die, which was why they would much rather let the Life-devouring Beast gradually strengthen than send away the sacrificial Godkings.

Immediately, the situation was divided into four battlefields. The three mid Godking Life-devouring Beasts occupied a battlefield each, where the Godkings maintained a safe distance to prevent their life force from being drained. The fourth battle field was composed of a large group of sacrificial Godkings encircling a group of early Godking Life-devouring Beasts.

The early Godking Life-devouring Beasts had been reduced to around forty now. Almost ten of them had been slain within the encirclement, but the sacrificial Godkings had paid quite a hefty price as well. Quite a few of them had died.

“Blessing of the Wolf Exalt!”

Suddenly, Jin Hong bellowed out, and energy surged into the form of a giant wolf.

The wolf was blurry and unclear, but as soon as it appeared, a paramount pressure permeated the surroundings, as if it were the ruler of the space here.

“The ancient Skywolf.” Jian Chen looked at the blurry wolf from afar. Even though it was so blurry that he could no longer make out its appearance, he could still tell that it was a past sovereign of the world. It was an expert who had reached the limits of Grand Prime, comprehending an entire law and was basically equivalent to the heavenly ways. It was an ancient Skywolf!

As soon as the figure appeared, Jin Hong’s battle prowess multiplied. As for the winged Life-devouring Beasts, they all paused at that moment, as if they were influenced by the ancient Skywolf’s presence. Whether it be the early Godking Life-devouring Beasts or the three mid Godking Life-devouring Beasts, they all became temporarily stunned.

That momentary pause came at a severe cost to them. Immediately, eight early Godking Life-devouirng Beasts were smashed to pieces, and the other winged wolves suffered injuries of various degrees as well.

“Wolf God’s Claw!” Jin Hong bellowed out, and the figure of the ancient Skywolf behind him moved with him. It made Jin Hong seem like he was the ancient Skywolf, directly striking the head of the winged, green wolf.

A part of the wolf’s head directly exploded, and half of its eye was smashed into pieces as well. It was sent flying by Jin Hong’s attack.

At that moment, Jin Hong seemed to be surrounded by the Skywolf. He was awe-inspiring. With a single movement, he caught up to the winged wolf with even greater speed. He spread his arms, and a huge pair of powerful arms directly grabbed the wolf by its wings before yanking suddenly. The wings of the mid Godking Life-devouring Beast were directly ripped off by Jin Hong.

Afterwards, Jin Hong produced a howl at the sky. The howl was elating, just like the howl of an ancient Skywolf, stunning everything in the surroundings. Jin Hong’s head suddenly turned into a wolf’s.

It was a head covered in golden fur. Like an emperor among the wolves, it gave off a dignified, noble aura, enough to unite the powerful. He gave off an inviolable sense of pride.

At that moment, Jin Hong had taken the form of a humanoid wolf, with a wolf’s head and a human’s body.

He suddenly opened his fangs and chomped down on the remainder of the Life-devouring Beast’s head with lightning speed.

The huge figure of the ancient Skywolf behind him replicated his actions, chomping down just like Jin Hong. It seemed like Jin Hong was imbued with the power of the ancient Skywolf such that the Life-devouring Beast was beheaded with a single bite after a crisp crack.

This time, the Life-devouring Beast did not recover. Even the tremendous amount of life force it had accumulated within its body was useless.

After using the Blessing of the Wolf Exalt, Jin Hong seemed to have gained the support of the ancient Skywolf. Not only was the might of every single move unmatched, they were all extremely profound as well. They seemed to be hiding countless secrets, allowing him to severe the life force of the Life-devouring Beast.

In less than five minutes, Jin Hong had killed the Life-devouring Beast that he said he needed an hour to kill before. It was his complete victory.

“Look over there! The mid Godking Life-devouring Beast has a- a- actually been slain by Jin Hong!”

“Jin Hong really is the successor of a Grand Exalt. That’s probably his true strength. He’s actually so powerful. He’s probably powerful enough to make it onto the Godkings’ Throne.”

“Jin Hong is actually so terrifying. He’s only a mid Godking right now. If he makes it to late Godking, wouldn’t making the top ten of the Godkings’ Throne be set in stone for him?”

“Top ten? You underestimate young master Jin Hong far too much. As long as young master Jin Hong becomes a late Godking, he’ll definitely place first.”

Jin Hong ended the battle with lightning speed. Obviously, many of the prodigies witnessed what had happened, and they were immediately stunned. They could already see the light of victory.

“So much for a Grand Exalt’s secret technique. It really is powerful,” To another side, the bloodied Jian Chen had also noticed Jin Hong and nodded secretly as he put up an arduous fight as a ruse. Jin Hong was the successor of a Grand Exalt. As the successor of the ancient Skywolf, only strength like that would truly match his identity.
