Chu Yuan’s face kept changing. One moment it was green: the next it was pale. He was hesitant.

The Ten Thousand Soul Banner was not his Ten Soul Banner. Instead, it was a treasure that came from one of the top leaders of the Ghost Lair, Lord Blood Soul.

Lord Blood Soul’s Ten Thousand Soul Banner was a Hundred Soul Banner, but not just an ordinary one. The souls of more than five hundred immortal cultivators were contained within it. Its might was rather frightening. Chu Yuan had come to the Fire Domain on the orders of Lord Blood Soul. He was under orders to obtain the spiritual fire and was given the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to support his endeavor.

He would not and dared not use the Ten Thousand Soul Banner at all unless it was an absolute last resort.

He never imagined that Nangong Mingzhu had been locked onto him since the start.

Chu Yuan was not willing to give the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to Mo Wen. Setting aside his grudge with Mo Wen, it was a treasure of Lord Blood Soul. If anything happened to it, ten of his lives would not be enough to compensate for it.

“If you do not hand it over, you will soon die. No matter how good the treasure is, it’s not more important than your life, is it?” Nangong Mingzhu said coldly. Because of her words, all the human ancient martial art practitioners looked at Chu Yuan. Their intentions could be seen in their expressions. action

Right now, everyone placed their hopes in Mo Wen. Although Chu Yuan had the ability to contribute some power, he had not done so. His behavior had aroused the dissatisfaction of everyone.

Chu Yuan’s expression became more and more hideous. It wasn’t that he wasn’t willing to contribute. In truth, he was afraid of dying and he had also hoped that Mo Wen would win. But the Hundred Soul Banner was too important. It was fine if he let Mo Wen use it for a bit. What he was afraid of was giving it to Mo Wen and not being able to get it back. How would he return and answer to Lord Blood Soul?

“Don’t think about such foolish things such as punishments when you get back. Right now, we have a slim chance of surviving. It’s hard to even say whether you can make it back alive. Maybe all of us will die here. Right now, with death knocking at the door, don’t you want to try for a chance to live? You are still thinking about the future?” Nangong Mingzhu said mockingly. She saw through Chu Yuan thoughts at a glance.

Mo Wen slowly turned his head, glancing at Chu Yuan and not saying anything. Chu Yuan shuddered uncontrollably. Although right now Mo Wen’s gaze was rather calm and his mannerisms were peaceful, Mo Wen’s aura was too frightening. He displayed no killing intent or malice but it seemed that he only needed to extend a finger to crush Chu Yuan to death.

Chu Yuan looked at Mo Wen with a sense of awe. His heart uncontrollably welled up with both respect and fear.

“This Ten Thousand Soul Banner is the most valuable treasure of the Ghost Lair. It does not belong to me. Right now, the situation is urgent, so I will lend it to you temporarily. If we make it through this difficult time, please return it to me immediately. If you do not, and the Ghost Lair comes looking for who was to blame, the price you will be required to pay will be too high.”

Chu Yuan took a deep breath. He took out a small flag with a black background and red marks with a skull etched on it. After passing it to Mo Wen, he bravely forced himself to warn Mo Wen of the consequences. His words contained some level of threat. If Mo Wen defeated the Dragon Horse and managed to survive, but did not return the Ten Thousand Soul Banner to Chu Yuan, Mo Wen would certainly be sought out by the Ghost Lair for questioning.

Mo Wen smiled as he received the Ten Thousand Soul Banner. A playful look flashed in his eyes. Chu Yuan really expected Mo Wen to return something that had fallen into hands?

“Relax. The Dragon Horse is so powerful that I may not be a match for it at all. If I die, so be it. There’s no point worrying about it so much. I feel that you should think about choosing a way to die. Don’t be eaten alive by a Beast King again,” Mo Wen said with a fake smile.

“You...”

Chu Yuan’s expression was ugly. He opened his mouth but did not dare say anything. Before Mo Wen, he was no more than an ant. Mo Wen could crush Chu Yuan to death in any way that pleased him.

Mo Wen ignored Chu Yuan. Lightning flashed and four shrouds of light flew out, appearing in the sky above.

They had just appeared when Mo Wen felt an absolutely strong aura surging towards him. A few thousand meters apart and the Dragon Horse’s power could already be sensed.

“Are you all prepared? Are you the only one who will fight?” The Dragon Horse slowly opened its eyes. Golden light shone from her eyes, like a newborn sun.

“You are very powerful. Only I can pose any kind of resistance to you.” Mo Wen spoke honestly. The Dragon Horse was indeed very powerful. Even the current him most likely only had a ten percent chance of defeating the Dragon Horse.

With a ninety percent chance of dying, it was indeed a slim chance of surviving.

But, no matter how difficult it was, it was impossible for him to just sit there and await death. He would try his best to put up a good fight. As for whether he lived or died, that was all up to fate.

“You are indeed not bad, but you are still not enough. You are far from enough. The Tower Spirit must have given you some extraordinary powers, otherwise, it would be impossible for it to have called you to challenge me,” the Dragon Horse said softly. She believed that Mo Wen appearing before her was no coincidence. The existence was always guiding everything at all times.

No one knew the mind of the Tower Spirit and no one knew what the end result would be. Even if she possessed an absolute advantage, she did not dare be certain that she would be laughing at the end. After so many things had happened, right now, the Dragon Horse understood matters very well.

“I am the one who will challenge you. No one will know the result until the end,” Mo Wen said with a plain smile. A golden light burned on his body. The golden light became more brilliant as the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani covered his entire body. His entire person seemed to have metalized. This time, not only did he have a golden body, but a layer of armor had coalesced on top of his body.

Golden armor!

Indeed, right now, it was as though Mo Wen was wearing the golden armor of an ancient general with a phoenix helmet on his head. He looked prestigious and overbearing, like a majestic mountain.

With his cultivation at such a level, even the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani went through a momentous change.

“If there was no spiritual fire, maybe there would have been a chance of a battle between us. However, it is impossible for me to give up the power of the spiritual fire to battle with you.”

The Dragon Horse nodded her head, then a mass of golden flame was released from her body. The mass of golden flame was different from ordinary flames. They actually contained an unparalleled spiritual aura. All the spiritual energy of the surrounding space gathered towards the mass of flame.

The next moment, an astonishing scene played out. The figure of the Dragon Horse disappeared bit by bit. With the flames surrounding her, a figure of a young maiden appeared in the sky above. She slowly walked out of the golden flame.

“Shapeshifting!”

Mo Wen narrowed his gaze. He subconsciously drew a cold breath.

The Dragon Horse’s beastly form had disappeared, morphing into a young maiden. The young maiden had a tall and slender figure. Her body was graceful and stunning. She was two meters tall and well-proportioned. Her entire body radiated with an astonishing sense of beauty.

The young maiden wore a suit of white jade armor. It emanated a divine aura. On her back, she had a pair of pure white wings, more than ten meters wide when spread apart. On her face, she wore a silver mask like Nangong Mingzhu’s. Only a pair of flickering golden eyes could be seen. On her head, she no longer had a single horn, but actually had two antlers like the ancient divine dragons.

Once the Dragon Horse shapeshifted, the essence of her power immediately shifted as well. Mo Wen felt that the Dragon Horse right now was many times more frightening than before.

Shapeshifting was an ability that only the members of the Demon Clan from the Demon realm possessed. Only by evolving and becoming a member of the Demon Clan could one shapeshift into human form. No matter how powerful the power of the Dragon Horse was, even if she was more powerful than ordinary demons, as long as her realm had not reached that of a demon, it was impossible for her to shapeshift.

Right now, this Dragon Horse actually shapeshifted! Could it be that she had actually become a demon? Mo Wen’s heart instantly chilled.

“It is not shapeshifting, but incomplete shapeshifting. This is power bestowed by the spiritual fire, I am still not a demon,” the Dragon Horse said softly, seemingly sensing Mo Wen’s doubts. “However, regardless of whether I am a demon or not, killing you is as easy as lifting a finger.”

The Dragon Horse slowly extended a hand. A golden light flashed in her slender white hand. A fifty-foot long crimson gold dragon lance appeared there. The dragon lance emanated a spiritual aura. The spiritual energy from the surrounding space surged into the dragon lance. The power stemming from it was no weaker than the Heavenly Serpent Divine Spear.

“Spiritual fire shapeshifting!” Mo Wen quietly exclaimed. The dragon lance was obviously the spiritual fire shapeshifting. He had not expected that the spiritual fire had actually grown to such an extent.

“None of you minded risking danger to come for the spiritual fire. But you do not know that this spiritual fire has been my companion for more than a thousand years,” the Dragon Horse said softly. “It is no longer a larval spiritual fire. It is impossible for you human ancient martial art practitioners to tame it, no matter what cultivation you have, it. If you forcefully absorb it, you will certainly be consumed by it and die.”

If these people weren’t blinded by profit, how could such a situation have occurred? Even if they could obtain the spiritual fire, it was unlikely that it would work out well for them. Instead, they would very likely pay with their lives.

“You’ve underestimated the wisdom of humans. Even if we cannot absorb this spiritual fire, it can have other functions. However, I will admit that the presence of the human ancient martial art practitioners in the Fire Domain this time was indeed an invasion born of ambition.” Mo Wen nodded his head.

The spiritual fire was originally a treasure. Even if he could not use it, he could give it to the Huatian Palace or maybe to other immortal factions in exchange for equivalent rewards. Also, if they had the help of immortal cultivators with enough cultivation, ordinary ancient martial art practitioners could also absorb this level of power.

“Since you all are in the wrong, then you will have to pay the price for your sins. I will kill you first, then I will kill them all.”

The Dragon Horse spoke plainly and easily. It seemed as though even killing all of them would not even stain its spiritual aura.

A golden light flashed and the spiritual fire dragon lance slowly pointed towards Mo Wen. An absolute power expanded. The power sealed the surrounding space. The Dragon Horse was just targeting Mo Wen.

Mo Wen found that he could not evade a simple spear thrust from the Dragon Horse. Even though he had the miraculous Glory of Wind, the realm of the Dragon Horse right now had already surpassed the level of his Glory of Wind. She could completely suppress him, causing him to have misperceptions of not being able to evade her attack, no matter how he tried.

Mo Wen had only scratched the surface of practicing the Glory of Wind. Right now, the Dragon Horse could be considered a half-demon. In terms of realm, she had absolute dominance over him. This feeling was the same as the level suppression of Absolute Skills between ancient martial art practitioners.

Mo Wen’s mind shifted and the illusionary mountains profound level weapon was activated, enveloping his entire body. With his current cultivation, the defense of the illusionary mountains was rather astonishing. It could not be compared to before. But against the casual attack of the Dragon Horse, it was destroyed in an instant. An absolute power surged and crashed into Mo Wen’s body.

The golden armor that the Indestructible Body of Vajrapani had turned into shattered bit by bit. The defense of his powerful flesh also collapsed as the full strength attack crashed straight into him.
