Chapter 630: The Ming Temple’s Number One Genius

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

Mo Wen raised his eyebrows slightly. A member of the Ming Temple? He had not anticipated that this youth dressed in black was actually the Ming Temple’s genius. With his talent, he certainly would be able to become a Martial Arts Grandmaster in the future. As expected, the Ming Temple was indeed powerful and prosperous. Not only did they have many strong practitioners, but their junior ancient martial art practitioners were also flourishing. They did not need to worry about a lack of successors. If the juniors developed successfully, the Ming Temple would flourish for a few centuries at least.

The cold look in Mo Wen’s eyes gradually disappeared. Since this youth was a member of the Ming Temple, this debt would need to be collected one day. Right now, however, was not the time.

Hou Jingfeng had blown Mo Wen’s cover and as soon as his silhouette was exposed, it immediately drew the attention of a few pinnacle of seventh rank monstrous beasts. With a roar, a wolf-type pinnacle of seventh rank monstrous beast dashed towards Mo Wen. The beast was skilled at ambushes and throughout the battle had been launching surprise attacks against various human ancient martial art practitioners. Even before the beast reached Mo Wen, a pungent stench gushed forward. It was so foul an odor that people became nauseous and dizzy upon smelling it.

Mo Wen frowned. This monstrous wolf was not an average beast. The aura from its body could actually affect the senses of humans, and from there further destroy their nervous system. Its attacks could cause humans to go dizzy, greatly reducing their fitness and abilities.

The dark black monstrous wolf’s body burned with black flames. It was clearly a fire type monstrous beast, at the pinnacle of the seventh rank. Its flames were not a normal dark red color—they were a rare black color and Mo Wen could feel a special kind of flame power emanating from them.

The corners of the monstrous wolf’s mouth were stained with red and its body reeked of a stench of blood. The creature had clearly already killed at least one human ancient martial art practitioner. The monstrous wolf’s ability was absolutely frightening. It was even above that of the pinnacle of seventh rank monstrous beast that Hou Jingfeng was dealing with.

Hou Jingfeng glanced at Mo Wen. He saw the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf and a playful smile appeared on his face. There could be no doubt about it: he was gloating. The look he gave Mo Wen suggested that he thought it was only a matter of time before Mo Wen was killed.

Hou Jingfeng was stunned to see that someone who was so young had such astonishing abilities. He was not as powerful as Hou Jingfeng but was at least at the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm. It was likely that he was much stronger than Hou Jingfeng had been at the same age. If this youth continued to grow, it would be possible for him to surpass Hou Jingfeng. Hou Jingfeng was therefore happy to see him die. He could not wait to kill off all the geniuses that could threaten him.

Also, if he died at the hands of the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf, it would be because of the actions of Hou Jingfeng. From a different perspective, he was essentially the mastermind who killed the youth. Thinking about it did not make him feel guilty: he actually had a perverted sense of pleasure and achievement. No matter how much of a genius you are, you will still die before you grow.

The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf was extremely quick. In an instant, it had almost reached Mo Wen. A scorching heat swept by, distorting the surrounding area.

The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf opened its mouth and howled. A formless sound wave came crashing out, covering a radius of a hundred meters. The stones on the ground within that radius shattered one by one, turning into dust.

Mo Wen’s expression changed slightly. The sound wave that the monstrous wolf had just released was incredible. It caused even his heart to tremble. With a flick of his finger, the Cries of Hades Bell instantly appeared in his hand. In a split second, it had released a blue glow which enveloped Mo Wen safely inside it.

The sound wave crashed onto the blue glow and was immediately reflected back. It did not harm Mo Wen at all.

The Cries of Hades Bell was originally a weapon used to attack the soul. It had a very powerful defensive effect against soul attacks. Most of the frightening sound wave techniques did not purely release high-frequency sound waves to harm others, but instead were considered a type of special soul attack technique that could directly harm the soul.

Pure sound wave techniques were unlikely to be fatal for ancient martial art practitioners like Mo Wen unless they surpassed a certain limit

The silhouette of the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf stopped for a moment. Clearly, it had not expected that its own wolf howl would be completely ineffective against Mo Wen. It also did not know what the bell in the youth’s hand was but its aura made the creature tremble in fear.

The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf was of the Dark Night Monstrous Wolf clan. Although its bloodline was not very pure, it had inherited some of the Dark Night Monstrous Wolf’s power, such as the assassination techniques that the Dark Night Monstrous Wolf was a master of, as well as its soul attack.

The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf was a creature of the Fire Domain at the pinnacle of the seventh rank. Its soul attacks were its trump card. This ability meant that it was just a little less powerful than the Seven Major Beast Kings and there were very few opponents who would dare to face it.

Normally, the power of its wolf howl could even affect a Martial Arts Grandmaster to a certain degree. An intermediate stage Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner would face a high chance of being killed by its power. Yet this young human was actually not affected at all. The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf was incredulous.

“A profound level weapon!”

Nearby, the youth dressed in black took a cold breath. The youth actually had a profound level weapon in his hand. That was a profound level weapon, not a spiritual weapon. Even Hou Jingfeng did not have one. It was very unlikely that a profound level weapon would be given to a junior, even in a huge faction like Ming Temple, For a large sect, a profound level weapon was an important treasure of strategic significance.

Without profound level weapons, it would be difficult for a Martial Arts Grandmaster to successfully challenge the Fire Domain Beast Kings. With a profound level weapon in hand, the situation was different. A Martial Arts Grandmaster wielding a profound level weapon could confront a Beast King like the Fire Snake King.

Hou Jingfeng never imagined that such a youth like Mo Wen would have a profound level weapon on him. It was something that he desired and adored.

In an instant, Hou Jingfeng’s face twisted. His eyes were full of greed. His gaze flickered as he occasionally looked in Mo Wen’s direction. If he could get his hands on the profound level weapon, he would have the ability to defeat a pinnacle of seventh rank monstrous beast. There would be few limits to his power. With a profound level weapon in hand, he could even look down on most of the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners.

Hou Jingfeng was one of the most famous geniuses of the Floating Mystery Dimension. The reach of his fame was such that his name was well known in the Four Large Inner Worlds, not just in the Floating Mystery Dimension. It was likely that there were very few people who did not know about Ming Temple’s number one genius, Hou Jingfeng.

To the outside world, Hou Jingfeng was the Ming Temple’s number one genius. However, he knew that this was not the case. There was another person above him who had always overshadowed him. This person was hidden by the Ming Temple. People from the outside world just did not know about him.

If he could get a profound level weapon, Hou Jingfeng believed he had the ability to challenge that person, and truly become the Ming Temple’s number one junior strong practitioner.

Roar! The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf raised its head and howled at the sky, but it did not release another wolf howl attack. Having cultivated to this realm, the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf’s intelligence was already equal to that of humans. As long as the youth had the small mysterious purple bell, it would be very difficult for its wolf howl to pose a threat to him.

A mass of black flames shot out of the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf’s mouth. It became a mass of black cloud, furiously enveloping Mo Wen.

The mass of black cloud looked nothing more than an ordinary cloud, but it was swift beyond compare. In the blink of an eye, it had appeared above Mo Wen. It covered a large area, giving Mo Wen no chance to dodge it.

The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf was at the pinnacle of the seventh rank. Its attack ability was even above that of a human martial arts practitioner at the pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm. The combat ability of a pinnacle of seventh rank monstrous beast was always above that of human ancient martial art practitioners. The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf was also a mutated specimen among the pinnacle of seventh rank monstrous beasts. Its combat ability was almost at the level of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. With the exception of Martial Arts Grandmasters, there were very few ancient martial art practitioners that could pose a threat to it.

With Mo Wen’s current ability, it was almost impossible for him to block its attack. It would also be impossible for the youth dressed in black, who was at the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm, to block the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf. This was also the reason why Hou Jingfeng believed Mo Wen would die at the hands of the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf.

If Mo Wen was to use the three Glory techniques, he would expend large amounts of Inner Qi and would still be barely able to block the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf’s attack. He could expose some valuable treasures, such as the Dark Soul Pearl, but Mo Wen clearly would not do so. It was already very dangerous for others to know that he had the Cries of Hades Bell. If they also knew that he had the Dark Soul Pearl, he would most likely be like the meat of Tang Sanzang [1]; all the demons would have their gazes locked on him.

A black light flashed, and the Black Gold Puppet suddenly appeared before Mo Wen. Its burly body was close to two meters tall, and it emitted a terrifying aura.

The scorching black cloud enveloped them from above. The Black Gold Puppet did not wait for the black clouds to descend, but instead directly charged forwards. With a punch, it dissipated the mass of black clouds.

The Black Gold Puppet had already significantly evolved. With a medium grade spiritual stone as an energy source, its spiritual power waves were almost comparable to those of a Martial Arts Grandmaster. Also, the Black Gold Puppet was a puppet concocted by an immortal cultivator. With the defense of its outer shell, it was difficult for even normal magical treasures to harm it. It would even be difficult for a Martial Arts Grandmaster to damage the Black Gold Puppet.

Based on combat ability, right now the strength of the Black Gold Puppet was most likely even above the ability of a normal Martial Arts Grandmaster.

Once the Black Gold Puppet appeared, the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf was scared. The terrifying aura caused all the fur on its body to stand on end. It subconsciously took a step back. Its dark red pupils stared cautiously at the Black Gold Puppet.

“Kill!” Mo Wen said plainly.

The words were barely out of his mouth when a red light flashed in the Black Gold Puppet’s hand. A brilliant red ruler appeared there. Without any preparations at all, the fiery red ruler directly became a beam of red light and flew away. In an instant, it appeared before the figure of the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf. Then, it became a fifteen-meter long fire dragon, furiously pouncing forward.

The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf’s eyes narrowed. With a whelp, it turned and tried to escape. It could sense a frightening destructive power from the fire dragon’s body. The power was able to kill it off completely.

However, the fire dragon was too swift. The Black Flame Monstrous Wolf could not escape. A dragon’s roar reverberated over the entire field. A red light flashed. The fire dragon had already crashed onto the Black Flame Monstrous Wolf. Its terrifying power instantly exploded. The aftermath was like a tornado shooting to the sky. More than two hundred meters away, the pinnacle of seventh rank monstrous beast that was battling the youth dressed in black was so scared that it made a low growl and dashed away to hide. It directly left the youth dressed in black behind, not daring to approach Mo Wen.

The expression of the youth dressed in black changed drastically. The terrifying aftermath crashed into him. He actually could not withstand it. His figure moved backward a few steps before he could stabilize himself.
