Chapter 659
An average ancient martial art practitioner would certainly panic if they encountered such a situation, but Mo Wen remained calm . A gentle breeze swept past him . The next moment, his figure stopped falling and began instead to fly forwards at a bizarre angle . He headed in a downwards projectile curve . Mo Wen managed to avoid crashing into the rock pillars as gravity acted on him and pulled him downwards .
Caw!
The sharp cry of an eagle suddenly sounded . Suddenly, a cyan tornado descended from the sky, heading straight for Mo Wen .
Once the cyan tornado appeared, all the wind was immediately disturbed . Using movement techniques that relied on wind direction, wind speed and the power of the wind would be extremely difficult .
However, Mo Wen’s Glory of Wind was not affected at all . He managed to successfully evade the onslaught of the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin .
It was clear the Cyan Light Eagle was not prepared to simply stand by and watch . A huge cyan tornado had already descended from the sky, completely covering a radius of a hundred meters .
At the same time, the Erupting Inferno Lion had caught up . A flaming silhouette pounced from behind .
Once Mo Wen approached the edge of the altar, he was immediately encircled by three Lord Monstrous Beasts . Up until this point, the three beasts had not even appeared . Their mission was to guard the altar and the Beast King’s treasure which sat upon it .
On the other side, Pei Fengwu and the other two were making their way to the altar, slaughtering all those who got in their way . Both Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan seemed to be slowing down for no apparent reason .
Pei Fengwu turned back to glance at the two of them . She raised her eyebrows and said, “The altar is guarded by three Lord Monstrous Beasts . Only by cooperating will the four of us have the opportunity to take the Beast King’s treasure . Mo Wen is the strongest among the four of us . If something happens to him, do you think that the three of us can complete the task?”
She gave the other two a cold stare . Then, she continued to make her way to the altar, fighting with all her strength .
Only by joining forces would the four of them have any hope . Any one of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts was an existence that they alone could not match . If Mo Wen had not already killed a Lord Monstrous Beast, it was likely that they would have stood no chance at all .
It would take three of them to each keep one of the Lord Monstrous Beasts occupied . Then, the other person could approach the altar and steal the Beast King’s Treasure Box . This way, it would be possible for them to successfully complete the task .

Although they could not defeat such terrifying monstrous beasts, they could restrict them for a short while .
However, Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan were intentionally slowing down . They were purposely not aiding Mo Wen, watching as Mo Wen faced the encirclement of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts . This was despite the fact that it was clear that, if Mo Wen died, it would be impossible to complete the task with just the three of them .
“Narrow-minded . ” Pei Fengwu gave Gong Zhangyan a cold stare . She knew that each of the men held grudges against Mo Wen . In their current situation, such grudges should be put to one side . In such an environment, all the human ancient martial art practitioners should be working closely together, especially against monstrous beasts . They especially should not be fighting against each other . She looked down on this unprofessional attitude of Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan .
Gong Zhangyan’s face turned slightly red when he heard what Pei Fengwu had to stay . He could ignore the views of other people but he could not ignore her words . He sighed slightly and stopped dragging his feet, instead rushing towards the altar with all his might .
Hou Jingfeng’s gaze changed slightly . After hesitating for a while, he too hurried towards the altar . Although he hoped very much that Mo Wen would die at the hands of the three Lord Monstrous Beasts, he knew that what Pei Fengwu had said was true . If Mo Wen died, it would be almost impossible for them to have an opportunity to steal the Beast King’s Treasure Box .
Comparatively, the Tower Spirit’s task was naturally more important . Hou Jingfeng would deal with Mo Wen another time .
Mo Wen was surrounded by the three Lord Monstrous Beasts . The pressure on him increased greatly, preventing him from taking another step .
Any one of the three monstrous beasts was terrifying beyond compare . With the three of them joining forces to surround him, Mo Wen had a hard time even protecting himself .
The Cyan Light Eagle controlled the power of the wind . It could cause the wind everywhere to change as it wanted . If it wasn’t for the fact that Mo Wen’s Glory of Wind was a rite of passage martial art, he would not be able to use it in such a situation at all .
The Erupting Inferno Lion controlled the power of fire . It was the Lord Monstrous Beast with the strongest attack power . Mo Wen did not dare to face it head-on . Even a careless graze would injure him .
As for the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin, it was the strongest support on the battlefield . It controlled the power of earth, weakening Mo Wen’s ability from all directions .
Battling with these three mythical beasts was like dancing on the edge of a knife .

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows . If this continued, not only would he be unable to reach the altar, but it was highly likely that he would die at the hands of the three mythical beasts .
Just as he was considering whether or not to retreat, a white image reached the center square .
Once the white image appeared, it flew into the air, directly heading towards the Cyan Light Eagle . It was none other than Pei Fengwu . As well as her sword Qi, she wielded a longsword spiritual weapon in hand . She appeared to Mo Wen to be like an Immortal descending from the heavens .
Caw!
The Cyan Light Eagle screeched angrily . It opened its mouth, and a bolt of cyan lightning shot out . It made contact with Pei Fengwu’s faint white sword Qi which quickly shattered . The lightning bolt continued forward . Pei Fengwu waved her longsword, sending out beam after beam of icy sword Qi . Only after crashing into tens of beams of sword Qi did the bolt of cyan lightning gradually disappear .
At the same time, a pillar of cyan light descended from the sky, becoming a tornado . Pei Fengwu was enveloped by the ferocious power . It was clear to them all that the Cyan Light Eagle had already launched its second wave of attack . The Lord Monstrous Beasts were too powerful . Of the four of them that had entered the ancient city, only Mo Wen stood a chance against any of the creatures . It was very difficult for the rest to take on a Lord Monstrous Beast alone .
At the same time, Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan also reached the center square .
“Mo Wen, you approach the altar . The three of us will hold them back,” Pei Fengwu called out . The white pearl bracelet on her hand lit up with a brilliant glow . The space was distorted slightly . A circle of white silently surrounded the cyan tornado .
The huge tornado suddenly stopped, but just for an instant . It broke free of the white light circle’s bonds and continued to envelop everything below .
However, the instant had been enough time to allow Pei Fengwu to retreat a hundred meters, evading the terrifying attack from the Cyan Light Eagle by a hair’s breadth .
“Humph, why should we be containing the mythical beasts and letting him get his hands on the Beast King’s Treasure Box?” Hou Jingfeng coldly snorted . Everyone knew that the Beast King’s Treasure Box would not contain anything basic . There may be real treasure inside of it . He had noticed a while ago that Pei Fengwu was always siding with Mo Wen .
“That’s right . Why should we be risking our lives battling the mythical beasts and letting him reap the benefit?” Gong Zhangyan naturally would not agree with Pei Fengwu either .

“If the two of you believe that you have the ability to obtain the Beast King’s Treasure Box, then go and snatch it . I have no objections . ”
Pei Fengwu had managed to constrain the Cyan Light Eagle . The pressure on Mo Wen was greatly reduced . He had the time to cast his gaze over the altar . He smiled coldly and calmly, and said, “I just worry that you don’t know your own strength and instead will end up throwing your lives away . ”
Hou Jingfeng coldly laugh . “Don’t you try to frighten us . I will go . ” It was pretty simple . He had no intention of dealing with the mythical beasts . With a dash, he rushed towards the altar .
Gong Zhangyan snorted scornfully . “What makes you think that it should be you?” He did not want to let Hou Jingfeng seize the opportunity . He also moved towards the altar with a flash of his silhouette . He had no intention of contributing an ounce of strength to restrict the mythical beasts .
“The two of you…” Pei Fengwu had not expected that the two of them would stoop so low . She couldn’t believe that they were still playing mind games at a time like this . It was ridiculous . Her and Mo Wen would not necessarily be able to block the three mythical beasts . They would most likely pay the price with their lives .
Roar! Roar!
The three mythical beasts had no intention of letting anyone approach the altar . They immediately left Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu behind, frantically attacking Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan . The mythical beasts would kill whoever approached the altar .
Pei Fengwu coldly laughed as she stopped fighting, watching the Cyan Light Eagle head over to attack Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan .
“Older Sister Fengwu, let the two of them be . I want to see whether they can manage to take the Beast King’s Treasure Box . ”
Mo Wen laughed . With a touch of his finger, the Gray Mountain Peak released a brilliant light . It was his first time actively attacking the mythical beasts, creating an opportunity for Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan to approach the altar .
Although it was very difficult for him to kill a Lord Monstrous Beast, it was not too difficult for him to restrict two .
The Gray Mountain Peak suddenly grew larger . A light image flashed, as though it moved instantly, blocking the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin . Even the Blue-eyed Earth Shattering Pangolin would have difficulties getting past the might of a top-grade spiritual weapon .
Mo Wen’s silhouette flashed . The wind blew, and the leaves were sent flying . Mo Wen appeared in front of the Erupting Inferno Lion, blocking it from the altar .
When Pei Fengwu saw Mo Wen attacking and blocking off two mythical beasts, she sighed gently . She did not say anything anymore . The white pearl bracelet on her snow-white wrist released an eye-catching light . This time, the seven white jade pearls lit up together . A vast aura emanated from the white jade bracelet .
The Cyan Light Eagle, facing Pei Fengwu, discovered it could not break away from her swiftly . It was both astonished and enraged, its anxiety causing it to screech .
Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu successfully managed to restrict the three mythical beasts .
Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan were unimpeded all the way to the altar . It was enveloped in a light film, but the light film seemed to only block out sound . It did not have any protective power . The two of them very easily passed through it . With a flash of their silhouettes, they appeared on the altar .
The light film meant that those on the outside could not see what was happening on the altar . After Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan both reached the altar, their presences disappeared . The altar appeared as peaceful as it had earlier .
Away from the altar, the battle became more and more intense . The three mythical beasts roared in a frenzy, as though their children had been killed . They furiously attacked Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu .
The abilities of the two remaining human practitioners were strong . After Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan reached the altar, there was no further need to restrict the mythical beasts . Now, Mo Wen and Pei Fengwu just needed to evade their attacks . At least for now, the three mythical beasts could not do anything about them .
Pei Fengwu battled bitterly against the Cyan Light Eagle as she kept track of the time that had passed inside . If there were no surprises, she should be able to hold off the Cyan Light Eagle for five minutes . This should be enough time for Hou Jingfeng and Gong Zhangyan to retrieve the Beast King’s Treasure Box .
However, what Pei Fengwu had not expected was that after the time it took for five breaths, the light shroud around the altar suddenly shook . Then, two silhouettes came flying out . They were like trash being thrown out, crashing into the ground heavily .
Pei Fengwu stared with her eyes wide open at the two people on the ground . Who else could they be but Gong Zhangyan and Hou Jingfeng? How long had they been in there? It had just been a moment, but they had actually been thrown out . What was going on?
