Chapter 712: Encountering the Giant Crocodile Beast King Again

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The beast pack was as dense as a forest. The huge number of Beast Kings increased the pressure on the human ancient martial art practitioners as they headed for them. Jin Ying’s expression, however, was calm. The human ancient martial art practitioners had many strong practitioners among them. They would not necessarily lose to the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings.

“Follow me and don’t stray too far. It’s fine as long as you can protect yourself but you will not be able to handle the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings.”

Zong Changsheng grasped the long saber in his hand. His face was extremely serious. This was not Beast King Island where they would be given a second chance at life. Now, death would be permanent. An old bag of bones like him did not have much to be concerned about but Pei Fengwu was still young. The Pei Clan had asked him to take care of her. He had brought her here safely. He would bring her back safely as well.

Pei Fengwu’s face was slightly pale. She nodded, recognizing her own strength and her limitations. Even though her cultivation had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm, she would most likely be killed right away if her opponent was one of the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings. Even if a few more ordinary Beast Kings came over, her life would very likely be in danger.

Aside from a few human ancient martial art practitioners who were exceptionally powerful, most human ancient martial art practitioners felt a sense of danger well up inside of them. None of them had expected that the final challenge would be so difficult. It was just the second round and it was already like this. Was there an even more difficult third round?

Pei Fengwu gently sighed. This time around, no matter what the end result was, there would most likely be a lot of casualties. Whether or not she would survive was unknown. She quickly glanced at Mo Wen and a strange feeling welled up inside of her. Why was it that wherever he was, he could make others inexplicably feel safe? She discovered that when she thought of him, she was not that nervous anymore.

All this while, Mo Wen was a mystery to her. Every time she encountered him, something else surprised her. Right now, he had reached the pinnacle among all the human ancient martial art practitioners, becoming one of the strongest among them. She did not know what other miracles would happen around this youth.

A few of the human ancient martial art practitioners were staring at Mo Wen with complicated expressions on their faces. On the fire cloud, Mo Wen’s performance had been exemplary. Many people had not yet recovered from the shock.

“I can’t compare with him,” Hao Qian said sadly while lowering his head slightly. He had always been arrogant, yet when faced with such a great youth Hao Qian had to admit defeat. He was utterly impressed by Mo Wen. Hao Qian was left almost speechless by his power and abilities.

At first, both of them had been at the same level. Mo Wen was even slightly weaker than Hao Qian. Yet now, Hao Qian paled into insignificance when compared to Mo Wen. Earlier on, Hao Qian had lost to Mo Wen when they were at the Lotus Lake. Now, there were even fewer things at which Hao Qian could claim to match Mo Wen. Hao Qian had always been proud of his talents and was better than many older ancient martial art practitioners. Now that Hao Qian had met someone who was more talented than him he realized just how much he had left to learn.

The Haokun Sect’s Sect Grand Elder glanced at Hao Qian and nodded his head slightly. Maybe this lesson would turn out to be beneficial for Hao Qian.

“Zhangyan, now you understand that I was not trying to scare you earlier,” Gong Xingyu said softly as he sighed. Ever since he had forbidden Gong Zhangyan from approaching Pei Fengwu again, Gong Zhangyan had not spoken to him, giving him the silent treatment. Gong Xingyu had many reasons to wish for Gong Zhangyan to be with Pei Fengwu, who similarly came from an exceptional background? But, if a pursuit of Pei Fengwu offended Mo Wen, he would rather give up on Pei Fengwu and the faction behind her.

Gong Zhangyan merely lowered his head. He did not say a word, but his fist that was clenched began to slowly relax.

Bu Xingyi’s expression was one of pure ugliness. He had not expected that Mo Wen would have been so outstanding that all the limelight was on him. This youth had outshone all the other human ancient martial art practitioners.

Only Gao Hanshan and the members of Gao Clan looked excited. The more powerful Mo Wen was and the greater his talent, the more beneficial it was for them.

“This time, we may truly be able to turn it around! Even with the protection of the existence behind the Anti-Ming Faction, we will no longer be hopeless,” Gao Hanshan mumbled. His eyes were filled with a range of emotion: excitement, hope, nervousness, and anxiety all coursed through him.

Jun Wulei clenched his fists tightly. His eyes were lit up with high spirits too.

In front of them, among the sea of Beast Kings, two beams of red light shone. The red light lit up the whole beast pack, which was as dense as the ocean. An impeccable, terrifying aura emanated from the lights. On the plateau, the sea of Beast Kings bowed down. Their eyes were filled with respect and fear. It was as though they were subjects worshipping their lords.

“You have ventured into the second round. In that case, the Fire Snake King and Fire Scorpion Beast King are most likely dead.”

A slightly melancholy voice sounded among the sea of beasts. The next moment, a gigantic figure flew up. A gigantic crocodile, which was a thousand meters long, stretched over the sky. The scales on its body were as large as hills and were sharp and boiling hot.

Although the Fire Snake King and the Fire Scorpion Beast King did not have a good relationship with this crocodile, they had both been Beast Kings of the Fire Domain. They shared a common enemy. Now that the two Beast Kings had died, the crocodile could not help but mourn the death of its kind.

“The Giant Crocodile Beast King!”

Mo Wen slightly narrowed his eyes. This was the third time he had encountered the Giant Crocodile Beast King. The first two times, this absolute mythical beast wanted to send him to his grave, and both times Mo Wen had fled pathetically, nearly dying at its hands. This was his third time going against this mythical beast.

“You will go no further. I will kill you all. I am certain that you will all be defeated before you see Lord Dragon Horse.”

The Giant Crocodile Beast King twisted its huge figure. Every time it moved, the clouds in the sky would churn, the winds would surge and a heatwave would form tornadoes that swept up in all directions.

“Lord Dragon Horse? Who is that?” Mo Wen said with a plain smile as he narrowed his gaze.

“You do not need to know who Lord Dragon Horse is, because you will not see him at all,” the Giant Crocodile Beast King said with a cold smile.

“Is that so? If I get to see Lord Dragon Horse, does that mean that you are already dead?” Mo Wen said as he smiled playfully. Based on what the Fire Scorpion Beast King had said, the mysterious Lord Dragon Horse would most likely not appear in this round. At the same time, Mo Wen knew that the mysterious head of the Fire Domain’s Seven Major Beast Kings was a Dragon Horse.

A Dragon Horse? Was it a Dragon Clan bloodline monstrous beast or a pureblood member of the Dragon Clan?

In the Devil Realm, there were two types of Dragon Horses. One was a type of monstrous beast that had the bloodline of the Dragon Clan. They were descendants born of the Dragon Clan and other horse type monstrous beasts. The other type which was from the pureblood Dragon Clan. Their blood was pure and they were genuine descendants of the dragons.

However, pureblood Dragon Horses were very rare. Their existence was precious and rare even among the legendary Devil Realm. The Fire Domain’s Beast King was most likely not a pureblood Dragon Horse. Otherwise, it would be too full of pride to stay in a small Inner world like this.

“Exactly. If you meet Lord Dragon Horse, it means I have failed and died. However, that will not happen. Insignificant human, before this I have hunted you twice and failed to kill you. This time, you will surely die. There is no escape route to either the sky or into the ground. I would like to see where else you can escape to.”

The Giant Crocodile Beast King obviously recognized Mo Wen. This human genius whom he had failed to kill twice had left a deep impression.

“No.” Mo Wen shook his head and said, “This time, I won’t run, because I will kill you.”

“Kill me?” The Giant Crocodile Beast King seemed to have heard an unbelievable joke. It started laughing out loud. Its voice reverberated throughout the space like thunder.

“Old Croc, stop wasting your time on them. Order the younger ones to kill them. Quickly finish them off and we can leave this place sooner.”

Among the sea of beasts, another beam of red light lit up. A bull, which was as huge as a mountain, appeared from the back. The bull was three hundred meters tall and a thousand meters long. Each step it took caused the whole mountain to shake. It was like a moving mountain.

It was the Fire Bull Beast King, one of the Fire Domain’s Seven Major Beast Kings. In terms of cultivation, it was at a similar level to the Giant Crocodile Beast King. Their cultivation was much higher than that of the Fire Snake King and the Fire Scorpion Beast King.

Right now, the aura from the Fire Bull Beast King was terrifying. Waves of pressure surged out like sea waves. The surrounding sea of Beast Kings bowed down and howled. Their eyes were filled with awe and fear.

“Minions, kill them. Kill all the humans!” The Giant Crocodile Beast King looked up towards the sky and roared. The next moment, the Beast King army all stood up, then gradually pressed towards the region where the human ancient martial art practitioners were.

The human ancient martial art practitioners held onto their weapons tightly. Their faces were pale. Those who had never experienced such a situation would definitely not understand the feeling that they were having right now. It was as though a commoner was facing a besiegement of an army.

“Don’t worry about the sea of Beast Kings. Kill the Giant Crocodile Beast King and the Fire Bull Beast King. Then, we will be able to pass this round. Some of you, stop hiding. If we lose, it benefits no one.”

Nangong Mingzhu flew up slowly. After glancing at the human ancient martial art practitioners, she took the lead and dashed straight into the beast pack. For her, the beast pack posed no threat. The only threat was from the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings.

Her words were obviously targeted at some people in particular. Among the human ancient martial art practitioners, it was not just her and Mo Wen who had a high combat ability. However, during the first round, only she and Mo Wen contributed.

The second round was different from the first. If some people still wanted to stand aside and allow others to do the work, everyone would very likely end up dead.

“Humph, you don’t need to tell me. How would I not know? The reason why I did not attack during the first round was to conserve energy and prepare for the second round.” Chu Yuan coldly snorted. He knew that Nangong Mingzhu would find fault with him first.

“Only you would believe such words. No matter what our differences were before this, this time, you’d better not try playing any tricks. Otherwise, I will leave the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings aside and kill you first.”

Mo Wen swept a cold glance at Chu Yuan. Then, with a flash of his silhouette, he became a bolt of lightning and charged towards the sea of Beast Kings up ahead.

Chu Yuan’s expression was furious. Right not, however, there was nothing he could do about it. A mass of black light enveloped him as he also dived into the sea of beasts. He knew that if he did not contribute now, Nangong Mingzhu and Mo Wen would not let him go. Most importantly, he did not dare count on just Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu to defeat the two Fire Domain’s Beast Kings. If they lost, the result would be unthinkable.
