Chapter 683: Fatal Blow
Chu Fengyun did not expect that Mo Kongyuan could release such strong True Qi even with his severe injuries. He was forced to retreat, coping with the attacks as well as counter-attacking with his own True Qi. The two of them were tightly encompassed within a mass of colliding, volatile True Qi.
Seeing Chu Fengyun struggle, Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu felt the unease in their hearts grow.
Mo Kongyuan was also cautious, because though he was recklessly attacking at full force, Chu Fengyun had surely come prepared and should not be struggling.
The two of them were going all out, and the surrounding True Qi was surging violently. Life and death were but a line away. Even if Mo Kongyuan knew that Chu Fengyun had a trick up his sleeve, he couldn’t take back his attacks. He could only continuously strengthen his True Qi and do his best to attack, because he could not drag out the match for too long.
Suddenly, a dark green light appeared from behind Mo Kongyuan, and a howl full of rage pierced the heavens. Before anyone could react, the green light crashed into Mo Kongyuan’s back forcefully.
Chu Fengyun’s eyes gleamed manically as he used all his strength to propel himself forward. He held both palms out in front of him, and Mo Kongyuan did not even have the chance to turn around.
“Despicable!” Mo Kongyuan shouted angrily. He was surrounded by enemies front and back, and there was no way he could retreat. He could only use his hands to fight off Chu Fengyun, but it felt like his back was being hit with a thousand-ton stone. Terrifying strength surged into his body, and his organs felt like they were being ripped apart.
He stumbled briefly, but Mo Kongyuan finally stabilized himself after some effort, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“A monster beast!” Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu were both shocked as they finally realized what Chu Fengyun’s sinister scheme was.
First, he pretended as if they were matched in power, then he dragged Mo Kongyuan to a dead end, and finally, summoned a monster beast and gave him a fatal blow! Under such circumstances, Mo Kongyuan could not afford to be distracted!
“Blood-eyed Bone Wolf!” When the two of them got a clear look at the monster beast before them, their hearts sank.
If it was an ordinary monster beast, Mo Kongyuan might have been able to handle it, but this was a Level 9 Blood-eyed Bone Wolf. Its cultivation was comparable to a human at the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage, or perhaps more.
Seeing the bones outside the body of the Blood-eyed Bone Wolf that enclosed it like armor, and the sharp fangs in its huge mouth, the two of them tried to rush over to Mo Kongyuan’s side. However, at that moment, a few Wu Feng Hall experts appeared and blocked their path.
Seeing the blood drip from the corner of Mo Kongyuan’s lips, Ling Yichen and Fu Chengyu felt anxious as they drew their swords frantically. Their opponents were also experts of the Great Fulfilment realm, so self-preservation was enough of a challenge already. How could they get to Mo Kongyuan’s side in time?
“This is your so-called true cultivation?” Mo Kongyuan looked at Chu Fengyun in contempt. Although he was badly injured, he still appeared dignified and steadfast, inspiring respect and awe among the soldiers.
“That’s right.” Chu Fengyun nodded triumphantly.
“A level 9 Blood-eyed Bone Wolf. Its cultivation is comparable to the Great Fulfilment Pinnacle stage, and sometimes even to the realm of True Essence. However, its growth is extremely slow and just getting it to the juvenile stage needs a couple of hundred years. Maturity requires at least 500 years. With your age, how could you have successfully contracted it?” Mo Kongyuan asked with a frown.
A mature monster beast could not be contracted by a human. Only those who had obtained monster beast eggs could contract the monster beasts when they hatched, and this was something everyone in the mainland knew. That was the reason why monster beast eggs were worth so much. However, the Level 9 Blood-eyed Bone Wolf was clearly a few hundred years old, and with Chu Fengyun’s age, there was no way he could have completed the contract from the moment it hatched.
