Chapter 717: The Heavens Have Eyes

Nangong Mingzhu pushed Mo Wen aside with one hand. A black light shone from her body. It was like a set of clothing which covered her entire figure.

“Thank you very much,” Mo Wen said, not minding her interference. The fact that they had been able to kill the Giant Crocodile Beast King so decisively was largely due to Nangong Mingzhu’s contribution. He had not expected that she would be willing to pay so high a price in order to cooperate with him. Reality proved that Nangong Mingzhu was indeed a suitable partner to work with. At least she was more reliable than Chu Yuan.

“We are all in the same boat. I just hope that we all did our best,” Nangong Mingzhu said plainly. She was fighting so hard not to help Mo Wen but to able to walk out of this Fighting Spirit Tower alive.

Aside from Mo Wen and a few others who had firepower, the other human martial art practitioners could almost be ignored.

Mo Wen nodded his head. In such situations, one could tell whether someone understood the interest of the general public.

Once the Giant Crocodile Beast King died, an uncountable amount of starlight immediately surged out from thin air. It became a huge swirl of starlight, enveloping Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu within it.

This time, the starlight surged into both Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu.

A look of astonishment flashed in Nangong Mingzhu’s eyes. She had originally thought that the starlight would only surge into Mo Wen as he had killed the Giant Crocodile Beast King. She never thought that the huge mass of starlight would actually split in two and surge into both of them. It was unprecedented.

Mo Wen also had a curious look in his eyes. This was the first time something like this had happened. Could it be that the Tower Spirit had determined that this Giant Crocodile Beast King was killed by the two of them joining forces and was not the work of just one person?

“The heavens have eyes,” Mo Wen said with a soft sigh as he looked at the sky. Nothing in the Fighting Spirit Tower could be kept from the Tower Spirit.

Nangong Mingzhu pursed her lips. She suddenly felt that this game of death was a little bit more interesting. The mysterious Tower Spirit did not seem to be using them for its own entertainment, but instead placed great importance in this game of death and was always concerned about the dynamics within it. But why?

The Fighting Spirit Tower’s Tower Spirit was a mysterious being that had existed for tens of millennia. Why would it be so interested in them? This ancient existence would likely have grown tired of everything. By rights, it would not be bothered with such small things as themselves.

However, since they had entered the Fighting Spirit Tower, the Tower Spirit had arranged an elaborate game of death. Even if the Fighting Spirit Tower was a place to test people, the Tower Spirit did not need to go to such trouble.

Moreover, this Fighting Spirit Tower had been abandoned for tens of thousands of years. The people who had recently entered the Fighting Spirit Tower were not the clansmen that the Tower Spirit protected. Under normal circumstances, it would most likely leave them to their own devices. There was no reason for it to go to such lengths at all.

Nangong Mingzhu had her doubts, but it was impossible to know the why and wherefore of this matter at all. They could not simply ask the Tower Spirit. Who would dare to guess what was going through its mind?

The starlight from killing the Giant Crocodile Beast King was far more than that they had received following the death of the Fire Scorpion Beast King. It was almost twice as much. Its effect on raising his cultivation was equal to Mo Wen killing another Fire Scorpion Beast King. His cultivation kept climbing. When all of the starlight dissipated, he felt his ability once again increase by a large amount. If he were to be pitted against the Giant Crocodile Beast King once again, most likely it would be a little bit difficult, but he could kill it alone.

Mo Wen did not know what realm his current cultivation would place him in, but he was certain that in terms of pure Inner Qi cultivation, he had already far surpassed many third realm Martial Arts Grandmasters. The same was also true for Nangong Mingzhu. Her body kept emanating a terrifying aura.

A few beams of light appeared in mid-air. The lights sparkled like jewels and treasure. They were their rewards for killing the Giant Crocodile Beast King.

Mo Wen glanced at them. There were seven beams of light, two more than the drops of the Fire Scorpion Beast King.

“Ladies first.”

Mo Wen made a welcoming gesture. He did not forget his manners even at this moment. The Giant Crocodile Beast King had been killed by the two of them after they had joined forces. It would be impossible and unfair for him to monopolize the benefits. It was also true that Nangong Mingzhu had contributed more than him.

Nangong Mingzhu did not hold back. With a wave, four masses of light flew to her. She said, “You have no objections with me taking four, right?”

Earlier on, when Mo Wen had obtained too many good items, even she had been envious. Now, she had no intention of holding back and letting Mo Wen take the larger portion.

“As it should be.”

Mo Wen nodded his head as he took the other three lights. Nangong Mingzhu was not pushing it. Among the seven treasures, there were three superb grade Healing Lights, two incomplete first rank spiritual talismans, a small flag, and a superb grade Recovery Light.

The most valuable among them were the three superb grade Healing Lights. A superb grade Healing Light was equivalent to having an extra life. The value of its use far exceeded that of the other items.

Nangong Mingzhu had claimed four lights but had not taken all three superb grade Healing Lights. She had left one behind, as well as an incomplete first rank spiritual talisman, and the small flag.

Needless to say, the small flag was one of the Four Guardians Heaven Sealing Stratagem’s stratagem flags. This flag was azure, with an azure dragon carved onto it. It was the Azure Dragon Flag of the Four Guardians Stratagem Flags. Mo Wen had the White Tiger Flag and the Black Tortoise Flag. Nangong Mingzhu seemed to have intentionally left the Azure Dragon Flag for him, instead taking the almost useless superb grade Recovery Light away.

By distributing them in such a manner, Nangong Mingzhu would not cause any dissatisfaction, although she had one more.

“There is still a Fire Bull Beast King over there. Let’s get it over with quickly.”

Nangong Mingzhu glanced over at the battlefield. With a flash of black light, she disappeared from her spot. The next moment, she had already appeared in the thick of the battle. After killing the Giant Crocodile Beast King,Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu couldn’t leave the Fire Bull Beast King alone. Once the Giant Crocodile Beast King died, the Fire Bull Beast King was not much of a threat. Right now, in Nangong Mingzhu’s eyes, it was a mass of cultivation and treasure.

Mo Wen became a bolt of lightning, flying towards the battle raging around the Fire Bull Beast King.

More than ten human ancient martial art practitioners who had reached the Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm were surrounding the Fire Bull Beast King. Chu Yuan and Tan Qiyue were their leaders.

However, even with so many people surrounding the Fire Bull Beast King, they could only hold it at bay. They had been unable to gain the upper hand, let alone kill the Fire Bull Beast King.

Among these people, Chu Yuan and Tan Qiyue were the most powerful. If the two of them had not displayed tremendous power, most likely this group of elite strong practitioners among the human ancient martial art practitioners would already have sustained serious injuries.

Moo!

The Fire Bull Beast King bellowed to the sky. It raised its front hooves and furiously stamped down. A mass of golden flame with it as the center swept out furiously.

Heatwaves surged and the human ancient martial art practitioners surrounding the Fire Bull Beast King immediately dodged the flames. Once the power of the flames had receded, they leaped back in again.

From beginning to end, the human ancient martial art practitioner did not launch a strong offensive assault. Instead, they fought cautiously and were content to simply hold off the Fire Bull Beast King.

Right now, on the body of the Fire Bull Beast King, there were already quite a few wounds. Its fiery eyes grew fiercer, but it could not deal with the sly human ancient martial art practitioners.

Among this group of human ancient martial art practitioners, the lowest had Martial Arts Grandmaster third realm cultivation. None of the warriors had possessed low cultivation to begin with. Now that the Fire Beast Bull King was tied up with dealing with the black-robed man and the man dressed in sackcloth, neither of whom were actively battling it head-on, it was especially difficult for it to kill anyone.

What made the Fire Beast Bull King even more helpless was that the human ancient martial art practitioners had various bizarre items that could recover their wounds and Inner Qi. It made killing a person far more difficult than killing ten Pinnacle Beast Kings.

A crimson light flashed and Nangong Mingzhu’s silhouette appeared above the Fire Bull Beast King. After absorbing the Giant Crocodile Beast King’s starlight, her cultivation was now even more terrifying. As soon as she appeared, she caused the Fire Bull Beast King to be alert. A pair of fiery eyes stared at her. It sensed a far more frightening threat from her than from the black-robed man or the man dressed in sackcloth.

“It’s you.”

The Fire Bull Beast King initially thought that a mysterious strong practitioner had appeared among the human ancient martial art practitioners. But once it saw Nangong Mingzhu’s appearance clearly, it immediately recognized her. She was the woman who had been battling the Giant Crocodile Beast King.

How had she appeared here? Wasn’t the Giant Crocodile Beast King dealing with her?

In an instant, the Fire Bull Beast King felt a bad premonition well up inside. Its huge figure leaped and flew high in the sky. It glanced over the entire mountain top. As expected, it did not detect the figure of the Giant Crocodile Beast King. Even its aura did not exist anymore.

“The Giant Crocodile Beast King is dead. How is this possible? You killed Giant Crocodile!” The Fire Bull Beast King bellowed at the sky. It looked towards Nangong Mingzhu in fury. The Giant Crocodile Beast King was actually dead. It had completely disappeared from the world, and so quickly at that. It had happened so fast that it did not have time to respond.

The human ancient martial art practitioners surrounding the Fire Bull Beast King were also all stunned. They had not expected that Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu would kill the Giant Crocodile Beast King in such a short amount of time.

The Giant Crocodile Beast King was far more powerful than the Fire Bull Beast King. The ten of them could only hold off the Fire Bull Beast King after joining forces. Even then, they had no way of killing it.

But Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu had killed the even more powerful Giant Crocodile Beast King, and in such a short amount of time. Didn’t that mean than Mo Wen and Nangong Mingzhu were far more powerful than all of them combined?

Even Chu Yuan and Tan Qiyue were shocked, trembling inside. Be it their cultivation or their abilities, among these people, the two of them were the strongest. Their senses were also the strongest. Right now, both of them could sense that Nangong Mingzhu’s current cultivation had already far surpassed them. She had reached an entirely different level.

Nangong Mingzhu’s cultivation had already been above theirs but the gap was not large. Right now, after killing just a few of the Fire Domain’s Beast Kings, her cultivation had actually skyrocketed to such an extent.

A bolt of lightning flashed and Mo Wen’s silhouette also appeared in the battle arena. His body also emanated a rather frightening aura. The aura was just lower than Nangong Mingzhu’s.

Chu Yuan’s expression was somewhat ugly. Before this, his cultivation was still above Mo Wen’s. But after just a while, this youth’s cultivation had surpassed his, and it wasn’t by a small amount. In reality, Mo Wen’s previous cultivation could not even compare with some ordinary third realm Martial Arts Grandmasters, let alone that of Nangong Mingzhu and Chu Yuan. But right now, many people discovered that Mo Wen’s current pure cultivation realm was already second only to Nangong Mingzhu, surpassing all the other human ancient martial art practitioners.
