Invincible Kungfu Healer

Chapter 709: The Bet

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

Above the cloud of fire were demonic beasts that were flying through the air. They were everywhere. Warriors who did not have high enough cultivation levels might be surrounded and killed by the demonic beasts at any time. Some human warriors had already fallen. They had not even encountered the beast king of the Fire Domain but death and injury had already occurred. Everyone realized the seriousness of their situation. Even if they successfully defeated the seven beast kings of the Fire Domain, how many of them would die doing so?

Fortunately, human warriors had three major light tools they could use. Otherwise, the mortality rates would be even greater.

“Benefits?”

Nangong Mingzhu’s eyes gleamed and then, she replied. “Whoever loses must help the other party in the future, when the situation allows.”

“That’s a promise.” Mo Wen’s lips lifted in a smile as he looked at the Fire Scorpion Beast King. Since Nangong Mingzhu had chosen the Fire Snake King, then the Fire Scorpion Beast would be his opponent.

“What arrogance. We don’t even know who will be the one doing the killing.”

The Fire Scorpion Beast King laughed coldly. A mysterious pattern slowly appeared on its back. It was a realistic-looking dark blue colored scorpion that took up the entirety of the beast king’s back. It continued to spread outwards and was soon much larger than the thousand-meter-long Fire Scorpion Beast King.

The dark blue colored giant scorpion was 5000 meters long and covered the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s body, enveloping him completely.

“The Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit.”

Mo Wen’s pupils shrank. The Fire Scorpion Beast King had an Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit. Mo Wen could sense a terrifying threat on the enormous dark blue colored scorpion. The threat he felt from it continued to grow.

“Insignificant humans. Do you think you can kill me? Die!”

The Fire Scorpion Beast King flew into the air and looked at Mo Wen coldly, extending its left arm forward. The 5000-meter-long dark blue scorpion on its back extended its pincer, swiping viciously towards Mo Wen. It was like a pillar that descended from the sky.

The clouds of fire on the ground’s surface shook and rolled. The illusionary beasts around it could not bear the terrifying pressure. All of them exploded.

At that moment, not a single demonic beast dared to approach the circle of battle where the Fire Domain beast king was. Even some demonic beasts at the level of beast king did not dare to approach.

The scorpion pincer that was 1000 meters long fell forward. Mo Wen felt as if there was a mountain that was smashing down from above. An unprecedented pressure pressed against his body.

“How powerful.”

Mo Wen was shocked. The Fire Scorpion Beast King’s Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit was very powerful. It could kill ten beast kings at the pinnacle stage in mere seconds.

Furthermore, the power of the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit released a gust of power that sealed the space around it. This led to a large decrease in Mo Wen’s speed. He did not have time to dodge the massive pincer at all.

Mo Wen pursed his lips, the intention to battle firing up in his eyes. The stronger the pressure, the higher his will to fight. A ray of cyan-colored light flew out from his sleeves and a picture scroll expanded. Then, the illusion of a mountain appeared and enveloped him within it.

At the same time, Mo Wen’s body shone with a ray of starlight. The hazy starlight turned into clouds of stars. The appearance of clouds of stars was the successful completion of the first stage of the Glory of Cloud.

The enormous pincer fell, hitting the clouds of stars. The clouds rolled, the light gradually dimmed and the clouds shrank.

Moments later, the clouds disappeared completely. However, the glow of the 1000 meter scorpion pincer also dimmed by half.

The pincer continued to smash down. When it collided with the illusionary mountain, it only caused the illusion to shake dramatically. It did not break through its defenses.

Mo Wen’s face turned pale. He had already used a large portion of his inner Qi against the pincer’s attack. If his cultivation levels were not high enough to be comparable to that of a second realm martial arts grandmaster, the pincer would break through his defenses in just a little while longer. Then, his body would be pulverized.

The Fire Scorpion Beast King looked at Mo Wen in shock. This human had not died despite facing the attack of the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit. The defensive capabilities of this human were unnatural.

The expression of the Fire Scorpion Beast King turned grave. With its current cultivation levels, it could not use too much of the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit Power. He could use it four or five times at most. After all, the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit was a Demon Clan ability. It was rare for a beast king like him to be able to use the power. If the tower spirit had not purified its bloodline, it would never be able to trigger the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit power in its blood.

“You are indeed powerful. But the power you have received was not cultivated by you. You can only use half of your powers at most.”

Mo Wen looked at the Fire Scorpion Beast King that was suspended in mid-air. There was a flicker of silver light and the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear appeared in his hands once more. Even though the powers of human warriors increased quickly, they had received the power bit by bit from killing demonic beasts. A significant amount of combat could increase their powers speedily.

However, it was different for the seven major beast kings of the Fire Domain. They had not experienced battles and honed their skills through them. Instead, their power had increased by ten times suddenly. They would find it hard to fully expend the powers they had in such a situation.

Through their exchange earlier, Mo Wen could sense that the Fire Scorpion Beast King had not expended its full powers. Otherwise, it would definitely be more powerful considering its current cultivation levels.

“Even though I cannot use all my powers, but I am still much stronger than ordinary beast kings at the pinnacle. It is more than enough to kill you.” The Fire Scorpion Beast King harrumphed coldly. Its powerful cultivation had given it unmatched confidence.

Mo Wen smiled but did not speak. There was a flicker of blue light in his hand and a top-grade recovery light broke open. Mo Wen’s cultivation immediately recovered to its peak.

“What is that?”

The Fire Scorpion Beast King was stunned, its eyes flying wide open. It could sense the surge in Mo Wen’s inner Qi. It had reached its peak in just the blink of an eye.

This discovery shocked him. Inner Qi could recover in mere seconds. What was this?

“Did you think the Tower Spirit would take care of you all and give you a ten-time increase in powers for no reason?” Mo Wen laughed coldly. In the face of the extremely powerful beast king, humans would be unable to continue the battle if they did not have the aid of the three light tools. It would be impossible for them to successfully defeat the beast kings.

“All of you can make your inner Qi recover instantaneously?”

The Fire Scorpion King suddenly felt a hint of uneasiness. Its calm expression finally changed. With its current cultivation levels, it would not be hard to kill Mo Wen. However, that would have to be on the premise that Mo Wen’s inner Qi would not be able to recover in a short amount of time once again. It was confident that it could kill Mo Wen with just three attacks. However, if he could recover his inner Qi in a short period of time and maintain it at a peak state, then it would be hard to say...

“If it is a game that is completely unfair, then it would not be called a game. Did you all think that you would definitely win?”

Mo Wen’s figure disappeared from where he stood. When he appeared again, he was already above the Fire Scorpion Beast King. He jabbed the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear forward and a thousand-meter long illusion of a serpent spear appeared in mid-air. It jabbed forward viciously towards the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s head.

Mo Wen’s attack had been extremely fast, like a strike of lightning. It took less than a breath’s time for him to appear in mid-air and then attack the beast king.

The Fire Scorpion Beast King was stunned. It had not expected Mo Wen to be so quick. He was so quick that it almost did not have time to block the attack.

There was a flash of blood-red light and an endless amount of the light surged out from the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s body. It was concentrated at his head. A red-colored blood crystal enveloped its head. The force was so thick it was almost tangible. The Fire Scorpion Beast King did not dare to be careless against Mo Wen’s full effort assault. It used all its cultivation levels to defend itself.

Clatter!

The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear’s attack was stunning. It smashed through the ring of red-colored crystals roughly and collided viciously with the head of the Fire Scorpion Beast King viciously.

Roar!

There was a shocking blood-curling scream and the Fire Scorpion seemed to lose control of its thousand-meter long body, falling towards the ground. Its enormous body rolled and the screams continued. Surges of terrifying power were released from its body as red light enveloped the area and the ten thousand meters that surrounded it. The demonic beasts that were very far from it were all affected by the waves and many of them died.

A large part of the Fire Scorpion Beast King’s enormous head had been cleaved off. Blood flowed and splattered everywhere. A large amount of brain matter and flesh fell, soaking the ground red. Crackles of electricity covered the enormous body and a large burnt patch was visible on the beast’s head.

The Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear’s attack was one that the Fire Scorpion Beast King could not handle.

“Roar, roar. I am going to kill you. Kill you...”

The Fire Scorpion Beast King was completely mad enraged. It waved its right forward leg frantically. The massive dark blue scorpion floating in the air shone with a bright light and waved its right pincer at the same time, smashing it down at Mo Wen.

Ancient runes kept appearing on the body of the dark blue scorpion. Wave after wave of terrifying power rolled from it.

Mo Wen’s expression changed slightly. The Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit had used all of its power.

The Glory of Cloud method and the illusionary mountains appeared at the same time.

Roar!

A terrifying power descended. However, this time, the Ancestral Demon Sacred Spirit had put in its all. Mo Wen did not manage to block its attack. The clouds of stars and the illusionary mountains were torn apart and the massive pincer hit his body.

Puff!

Mo Wen’s face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of fresh blood. Gold light shone across his body. The Indestructible Body of Vajrapani had been pushed to its limits. Even so, the areas covered by the gold light started to crack slightly. The Indestructible Body of Vajrapani and his powerful physical body could not block the attack.

His body was twisted badly and his internal organs shattered, as were his bones and blood vessels. If this had been any other time, and even with his miraculous healing abilities, this sort of injury would result in Mo Wen possibly being killed. At the very least, he would not be able to recover in even in a decade or more.

The single attack had made Mo Wen lose almost all his combat abilities. If this had been any other time, he would now be waiting to die. However, this place was not ordinary. There was a flash of red light and a top-grade healing light was immediately broken. Mo Wen was enveloped in red light and his injuries were healed in an instant. The speed of healing was something that could not be seen by the naked eye.

“How is this possible!”

The Fire Scorpion Beast King could not remain calm any longer. It looked at Mo Wen incredulously. It had not expected that not only would Mo Wen be able to regain his inner Qi instantaneously, but he would also recover from his injuries instantly! How could this battle continue? His cultivation levels were not much higher than Mo Wen’s. Even if they were double of Mo Wen’s it would be hard to win against such a monster!

Mo Wen’s expression was cold. He had almost died at the hands of the Fire Scorpion Beast King. If he had not had so many treasures, had a powerful physical body and the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani, he would have been pulverized by the power. If he had been an ordinary beast king at the peak levels, he would have been killed immediately.

“Die.” Mo Wen’s figure disappeared from where he stood.
