Chapter 665: Neither Side Stand to Gain

Initially, Hou Jingfeng had hoped that the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin would crush Mo Wen to death. Then, he could just enjoy the outcome. That would have been the perfect conclusion for him. However, it turned out that the monstrous beast was just a beast, and could not predict the thoughts and movements of humans well enough. It could not sense that Mo Wen had already been completely drained of his strength, and instead ran away at the critical moment.

Hou Jingfeng had no time to feel sorry for himself. He could only grit his teeth and head towards Mo Wen. In any case, Mo Wen’s strength had been so depleted that it was unlikely he would be able to fight to the best of his ability. Moreover, even if Hou Jingfeng was unable to defeat Mo Wen, he always had the option of escaping.

“Mo Wen, hand over the Beast King’s Treasure Box to me. We can split the contents equally. I will not make things difficult for you.” Gong Zhangyan vocalized his thoughts. His eyes were transfixed on the Beast King’s Treasure Box as it possibly contained very unusual items. In this unusual space, you could only survive and stay alive if you were constantly growing, improving your abilities and attaining more treasures.

“Not make things difficult for me?” Mo Wen looked as though he had just heard a joke. He did not bother to say anything else in response. Immediately, the Sacred Flame Sword appeared in his hands. With a flash of light, waves of frightening sword Qi stemmed from the Sacred Flame Sword and engulfed Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan.

The sword Qi waves spread forward, forcing both Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan to retreat. They were both surprised to find that they no power to actively defend themselves against Mo Wen and had to use all their abilities to simply to avoid being killed by the sword Qi.

It had just been a simple few slashes but the power had been so unbelievably strong.

“Have you broken through to the peak of the Golden Elixir realm already?” Hou Jingfeng asked in surprise. He knew that Mo Wen was very strong and that his cultivation may well now even exceed theirs by quite a bit. However, he had not expected that the difference would be so significant.

The power of the sword Qi was usually only achievable by an ancient martial art practitioner with the peak of the Golden Elixir realm.

Immediately, both their faces grew solemn. If their cultivations were too far apart, they would still not be a match for Mo Wen, even if he were injured.

Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan shared a glance and both saw that the other party had the intention to retreat. Although they were both rather strong, in the face of Mo Wen who was way stronger than them, neither of them really wanted to take the gamble.

Initially, they had thought that Mo Wen would, at best, be at the peak of the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm. However, it seemed that he was much further ahead.

“Since you both want to die so badly, I will fulfill your wishes,” Mo Wen said menacingly. A ball of golden light rose in his eyes. At the same time, the Cries of Hades Bell silently appeared in his hands. With a flash of purple light, the bell emitted a dark aura.

With his Divine Soul Trillion Layer paired with the Cries of Hades Bell, killing Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan would be easy.

“I’ll go all out!” Hou Jingfeng let out a low cry. He knew that it would now be impossible to safely retreat. Additionally, he was not content to just leave things like that. If he gave it his all, and in the unlikely event that he won, he would attain all of Mo Wen’s treasures.

A flash of white light rose from Hou Jingfeng’s body. In the next moment, a frightening aura took over. A white colored ball of flame appeared between his eyebrows. It was the Enlightened Buddha Sacred Flame, the sole secret technique of the Ming Temple. Part of the renowned Four Great Mystery Dimensions, the Enlightened Buddha Sacred Flame was a technique that could only be possessed by those who had Cultivated the Buddha’s Sacred Scripture.

This secret technique was comparable to the Haokun Blood Weapon. They were both rare techniques that had a lot of potential and could allow one’s cultivation to improve by leaps and bounds and reach an unprecedented level. However, there were also pitfalls to using such a secret technique. For example, after activating it, the user would become weak for quite a period of time.

The moment the Enlightened Buddha Sacred Flame appeared, Hou Jingfeng’s aura simply kept growing. In a moment, he had actually reached the peak of the Golden Elixir realm, doubling his initial Cultivation. A white flame jumped around in the space between his brows, striking fear in everyone’s hearts.

Previously, when they were going through the Lotus Lake, Hao Qian had demonstrated the Haokun Blood Weapon. However, he had not demonstrated the Enlightened Buddha Sacred Flame. Because of the similarity between them, after the Enlightened Buddha Sacred Flame had been demonstrated, one had to wait a while for another demonstration of the Haokun Bloody Weapon.

However, now that they had the chance to kill Mo Wen, Hou Jingfeng did not wish to suppress his power anymore.

Mo Wen furrowed his brows. He had not expected that Hou Jingfeng would possess such a secret technique. He was indeed someone from a renowned sect. His experience and backing were of a much higher level than many others.

Ring! Mo Wen triggered the Cries of Hades Bell. Without giving Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan too much time, an invisible radiating wave immediately covered the ground, spreading in all directions.

Gong Zhangyan’s expression changed a little as he gritted his teeth fiercely. “Mo Wen, don’t think that you can do anything you want just because you are quite capable,” he said warningly. Then, he reached for a yellow piece of paper, which was actually a talisman. It was a sixth-rank talisman and it radiated with a very strong wave of spiritual power.

The sixth rank talisman was comparable to a blow from an ancient martial art practitioner at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm. Some of the most special sixth rank talismans even had the ability to kill an ancient martial art practitioner at the peak of the Golden Elixir realm.

Mo Wen was astonished to see that Gong Zhangyan actually possessed such an item.

Talismans from the outside world could not be used in this space. Those that could actually be used must originate from here. Beforehand, Mo Wen had killed a Red Scaled Beast King, which had earned him a seventh-rank talisman. However, he had not expected that Gong Zhangyan would also have one.

The sixth rank talisman in Gong Zhangyan’s possession had not been obtained by him. It had previously been chanced upon by his grandfather, Gong Xingyu. Gong Xingyu was especially fond of Gong Zhangyan and had given him the sixth rank talisman in order to protect his beloved grandson.

Gong Zhangyan knew that he would not be able to defend against Mo Wen’s Cries of Hades Bell. Hence, before Mo Wen could attack with it, he hurriedly activated the talisman.

The talisman burst into flames in mid-air. In the next moment, a bunch of white light was emitted from it. The white light was very cold and it immediately formed a layer of ice around everything in the surrounding area.

In the center of the white light, a clear and long spear slowly drove its way out. It was as though the spear was made of diamonds. The moment it appeared, a frightening cold descended on the land.

Gong Zhangyan simply pointed at Mo Wen, causing the cold long spear to aggressively fly towards him. It gave out a loud whizzing sound as it moved through the air. The invisible waves of the Cries of Hades Bell were unable to form any barrier against the spear. It was able to penetrate the waves and appeared right before Mo Wen.

A cold smile flashed across Hou Jingfeng’s face. Before they had caught up to Mo Wen, the two of them had already privately discussed how they would seek to defeat him. Both of them knew what trump cards they each had. Once they had ascertained that they could pose enough of a threat to Mo Wen, they continued to chase after him.

As expected, Gong Zhangyan knew just how strong the sixth rank talisman that he possessed was. Even if its strength was insufficient to kill off Mo Wen, it would definitely deal him a damaging blow. Then, when Gong Zhangyan attacked again, he would be able to rely on the lighting of the Enlightened Buddha Sacred Flame to briefly reach the peak of the Golden Elixir realm. By then, killing Mo Wen off would simply be too easy.

Mo Wen’s pupils shrank. Even from far away, he could sense the frightening power of the cold long spear. It was actually comparable to the full power of one of the leaders of the monstrous beasts.

A dark shadow suddenly appeared in front of Mo Wen and collided with the cold long spear. However, the spear was simply too powerful. Even the Gray Mountain Peak could not hold it off and was simply sent flying.

A bright gold light shone on Mo Wen’s body. He interlocked his fingers and grasped the spear which was heading for him between his palms. His high cultivation and the conditioning of his body were absolutely amazing. He used all his strength to grasp the spear and it came to a halt.

Multiple cracks appeared on the spear, gradually growing larger and larger. Finally, the spear broke into crystal pieces that diffused in the air.

Mo Wen coughed hard, throwing up a mouthful of blood which contained shards of ice. When the shards hit the ground, the cold air that was released even turned the stones on the ground into dust.

The power of the cold long spear was alarming. Mo Wen could not completely defend himself against it, and it had caused him serious injuries. Moreover, the coldness in the long spear was exceptional. It had already penetrated into his body and it would take more than an hour for him to expel it.

A look of disbelief flashed in Gong Zhangyan’s eyes. He could not believe that Mo Wen was still alive even after he had used the sixth rank talisman. Hadn’t he been injured badly? Why was he still not dead?

Just then, the attack of the Cries of Hades Bell descended upon both Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan. Their bodies both trembled at the same time. Then, they solidified in their positions and their expressions became dazed. The power of the Cries of Hades Bell was immense. Naturally, the two of them could not hold up against it.

Under normal circumstances, Mo Wen would take the chance to kill the two of them together. However, just as Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan had predicted, the blow that he had been dealt by the cold long spear previously was simply too serious. His internal injuries were very bad and there were clashing powers in his internal system. There was the absolute power of cold and ice, as well as the absolute power of the wind. If he chose to attack once again, he was afraid that his body would no longer be able to hold up against it. Even with his strength, his body would definitely collapse.

Mo Wen laughed bitterly, his breathing shallow. Even standing upright was difficult. The sixth rank talisman alone was not responsible for all the harm he had been caused. He had already withstood a lethal blow from the Cyan Light Eagle. The injuries in his body had simply become too serious for low-grade spiritual healing to have any significant effect.

Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan each took a step back and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. They looked like they were in pain. Their eyes and ears even had blood pouring out of them.

The attack of the Cries of Hades Bell was terrifying. They had both been attacked simultaneously and huge damage had been done to each of them. Although their cultivations were high, they were a long way behind Mo Wen.

Neither side had gained anything from the battle. When Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan had reached the altar, their cultivations had been seriously weakened. Now that they had faced the Cries of Hades Bell, they almost fainted, especially Hou Jingfeng whose cultivation was not as strong.

Hou Jingfeng lifted his headly slowly; there were bloody gashes on his face. His aura was very savage. He looked over at Mo Wen and actually appeared confident as he smiled. “Mo Wen, let’s see who will have the last laugh. I’ve already said that you will die at my hands,” he said. His voice was hoarse. However, there was also an indescribable pride within it.

A bunch of red bright lights gradually appeared on Hou Jingfeng’s neck. The red light was clear and translucent, and far brighter than a low-grade healing item. It was actually of the level of a medium grade healing item.

“I have the medium grade spiritual item in my possession. I bet you didn’t think it was possible.” Hou Jingfeng kept his eyes trained on Mo Wen as he continued to laugh maniacally. He had been given a medium grade healing item by Ming Temple’s Second Sect Grand Elder, Wang Changhan. His seniors had ensured he had a protective item.

Before they had headed over to face Mo Wen, Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan had already planned it all out. With their intelligence and abilities, there was no danger that they would underestimate Mo Wen or overestimate their own chances against him.
