Chapter 667: [Intense battle in the Underground City]
“Wuuu!!” A large wolfman leader walked out. Its fur was golden-brown, and it held a long spear. It was naked on his upper torso and was only wearing short black trousers. With a height of roughly three meters, it was clearly above the normal mob.
Awuuuu~~~ The wolfmen roared and howled, and the leader let out a deafening howl. It waved its spear and judging from what was happening, it seems like he had just ordered the others to attack. Boom! A dark green whirlwind appeared from the wolfman leader's spear and swept toward the group of Si Mulan and the others. Just a casual blow was comparable to the power of a half-step Spirit Realm.
"Let me fight it!" Si Mulan yelled as a glow of light radiated from her. It then became sparks of lightning that covered her entire body, and even her eyes gleamed a bright yellow. Without hesitation, she charged. Her speed made her look like a golden lightning bolt.
Bam! Si Mulan and the wolfman leader clashed, creating a shockwave that pushed everyone else away. Although the bloodline and technique of this wolfman weren't as strong as Si Mulan, but as expected of a Werebeast, its innate physical strength is extremely strong, and its physical body was even more powerful than hers. Judging from the powerful force that struck her, Si Mulan immediately realized that the monster's body was almost, already comparable to that of an Ancestor Realm expert. Therfore, its strength and speed were above its real level.
Awoooo—!! Awoooo—!! Awoooo—! Awoooo—!! At the same time, several hundred wolfmen charged forward, and clashed against the group like rabid beasts. In terms of numbers, the wolfmen had a big advantage, but the cultivators of Si Mulan’s group were all geniuses and not to be underestimated. Most of all, they had been honed, and trained by Allen and his group. In addition, they had the best weapons, skills and items that could be seen in the illusionary realm of Romeia's Dungeon.
"Wipe them all!!"
Like a raging War God, Bu Fanyi smiled like a barbaric warrior, as she rushed down towards the group of Wolfmen from her former position. She was clad with burning flames and her body was brimming with golden divinities as she went forward like a huge surging tide of flames, and swept towards the crowd of wolfmen.
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!” The group of wolfmen of later and peak stages of Emperor Realm simply could not block her attack, and could only wait to be slaughtered by the mad cultivator. They were instantaneously annihilated by her. Afterward, she turned around and turned towards another group closer to her.
The other members of the group witnessed Bu Fanyi’s aggressive performance and were left somewhat stunned. Her performance was quite stunning, and these Wolfmen were basically far from being her opponents. Although they know how strong Bu Fanyi was, they still realized taht she seemed to have become even stronger than that before. The translucent image of the Phoenix behind her was getting clearer, and her integration seemed somewhat already in the big success stage—it should not take long for her to break through another level.
Some members were stimulated into action while everyone else was attentively watching her performance. They too rushed towards the enemy’s ranks with deafening war cries. In just a blink of an eye, the entire becomes a battlefield, one that is filled with horrifying battle spirit and stunning explosions and war cries.
"No other peak Spirit Stage monster…" Lan Ling ‘er took a glance at the artifact in her hand. She then stored it and took out a slightly inferior magical sword and wields it with both hands.
"Ling ‘er, what’re you doing?" Bu Fanyi asked as she could not understand what she was trying to do. "Isn't it easier to kill monsters with the Unique-Tier Sword you have just now?"
"I can save my Spiritual Qi by doing so," Lan Ling ‘er explained with a smile.
"I agree. She has a strong combat strength to begin with. A rare tier battle sword is enough for her to kill Ancestral level monsters. Magical Weapons might have stronger battle potential and powers but it requires energy that is a few times greater than the energy needed by using a Rare-Tier battle sword. Therefore, she is wise to make such a decision. Using a sword to cut weeds is nothing but a wasteful act. In this manner, she can also hone and sharpen her sword skills."
Qin Han understood the reason why Lan Ling ‘er did that. All of the weapons they possess were made by that ‘man’ and their powers are too much for their own current levels. Although they can use them with no problem. Even still, such precious magical items are better left as a trump card in fighting extremely powerful monsters.
In any case, even with Rare-tier magical items, they are still far greater than any magical artifacts they originally possessed. After exerting much effort to exchange items through Si Mulan, he too possesses several incredible treasures that could make other people drool. However, most of them were left hidden by him, as last trump cards. After all, nothing is more important than life. They are much perfect to leave as a life-saving means, especially in this warring era.
"That's true. If you have any weapons with lesser grade compared to Unique-Tier, it will be best to use that. For hunting monsters below Ancestor Realm, a rare-tier weapon is adequate. It saves your energy and Spiritual Qi," Lan Ling ‘er suggested with a smile.
"I don't have a Rare-Tier weapon. The magical weapons that rank the lowest is a lower grade Unique Tier weapon." Bu Fanyi was not showing off but was just telling the truth. After all, she had gone into many troubles and efforts just to exchange for her magical items. She has exchanged them not just points but also Cultivation Skills, Manuals, Pills, and Medicinal Herbs. And most of all, Information. All of the things she has, she exchanges them for everything she wanted.
Fortunately, though, she was quite insightful and had gathered Magical Beast remains when she saw Si Mulan doing it as well, previously. This caused her to gather quite an amount of Trading Points for a newcomer. The thing she liked the most, however, was the strongest magical weapon in her arsenal. A Mythic Tier weapon called—[Fiendish Double Magnum] and the newly improved [Six Wings Newtype Funnel].
[Fiendish Double Magnum] is a specially designed dual handgun. As a High-Grade Mythical Tier, it doesn’t need bullets or reload moments as it only needed to be fueled by magic power—though, in her case, Allen remodeled it so that it can use Spiritual Qi without a problem. It’s a living weapon, possessing the ability to recognize a master and grow along with the said master. It can fire many kinds of bullets, and can even change the bullets in the user’s suitable elemental affinity.
With this weapon, you can fight as stylish as in Eastern action flicks. As long as you have enough energy, you can attack your opponent while being in the air or when dodging. And the other was an Average Grade Mythical Tier Auxiliary weapon; [Six Wings Newtype Funnel].
It was a newly improved funnel-shaped drone units that is almost comparable to Layla’s former weapons. Just like the [Fiendish Double Magnum], it uses the user’s energy to work and control. It’s durability, strength, dexterity, and control was far above that of the original design. And unlike the original four units, [Six Wings Newtype Funnel] had six units that can support the user. They can also be attached at the back to fly, looking like wings, or flying swords, to stand upon. In fact, to Bu Fanyi, it was a strange type of Modern-Flying Sword.
They are equipped with a small beam cannon and several deadly weapons such as plasma beam. Even without the user's magic/Qi supply, it can also be charged with solar, or other energy power source for to it to be able to continue running, especially in desperate moments. In addition, the user is able to control these funnels with great precision via a telepathic connection, allowing the user to conduct beyond visual range attacks on a target from almost all directions without having to establish visual contact, making a funnel-equipped warrior extremely deadly.
...Well, either the [Fiendish Double Magnum] or the [Six Wings Newtype Funnel], can be classified as two of the top leading magical weapons in the world.
Bu Fanyi saw it the first time when Layla uses it and was captivated by its offensive and defensive capabilities. Since that time, she had vowed she wanted one as well. With her personal power, Bu Fanyi can even now fight evenly with a Half-Saint realm and escape safely without much problem.
Other than these two deadly weapons, was a Magical Flying Sword, which was the bonus after her successfully, joining the group. Because she was quite a very powerful person, with Spirit Realm cultivation, Allen gives her a present, much to her excitement.

While the three of them were chatting, the battle was getting hotter. The fight between the humans and the Wolfmen had reached a superheated stage. White and red pieces of broken limbs were scattered on the ground. It was hard to distinguish whether those limbs belonged to humans or the Wolfmen.
“Ha!” Suddenly, a loud cry reverberated from the side. The sword energy was swept towards those Wolfmen with the mighty slash. Space itself, seemed to have collapsed in a flash. The beasts that came in contact with the sword energy, screamed as they turned into blood fog. This sword attack had directly cleared up a batch of Wolfmen in one go.
The Wolfmen who were Spirit level was extremely fast, and in a flash, one of them arrived in front of Si Mulan who was fighting the Wolfmen leader intensely. Its eyes were blood-shot and its body was black fur. Just like lightning, it used its claw to grab at Si Mulan.
Si Mulan, however, didn’t hesitate to respond, and immediately shot her palm which is still covered with intense, and terrifying lightning. “Bang!” The claw of that beast exploded in a flash and turned to blood fog. “Rooooar!” the Wolfman screamed as blood started dripping out from the spot where its limb had turned into blood fog. However, this beast didn’t stop. It opened its big mouth to bite Si Mulan to death. It was his desperate attack.
However, sadly, it was not the protagonist.
There is no deus ex-machina for a monster waiting to be slaughtered, or a lucky moment of survival of a Hero.
“Humph!” Si Mulan snorted as her fist blasted forward and directly punched through its big mouth. The head of this demonic beast exploded as it died on the spot. Half of its body, however, was frozen. Then, without waiting even for a single moment, Si Mulan turned around and the sword on her hands made a Clang! sound as it blocked an incoming spear.
"I see you," she grinned, and her free arm congealed a lightning spear and shot it towards the Wolfman leader where, unfortunately, was easily avoided. As expected of an elite monster.
It could be assumed that dealing with another demonic beast while fighting with a Spirit Realm Demonic Beast Leader trying to kill you, was equivalent to courting death for others. However, this was not the case for Si Mulan since her strength was simply too formidable.
The Wolfman leader was like a ferocious giant beast with a body of metal. It was more than half times taller than normal people. Wherever he went the surrounding area would become pressure. Dong! Dong! Each of its steps was like a mountain. Even though he was still far away, Si Mulan still couldn’t help but feel her blood, bones and Spiritual Qi become slightly restricted.
“This monster, in terms of flesh alone it can suppress those at the late stage of the Spirit Rank. What a domineering monster! If not for master’s teaching, even if I had the same cultivation as I am now, defeating this monster would surely be dangerous… but now…” Si Mulan bemused with a wry smile. She was really thankful for the heavens as it had never made her suffer. And it even led her to meet such an incredible man, changing her destiny.
Awwoooo—!!! The Wolfman leader’s eyes gleamed ominously and then stepped heavily on the ground and with a ‘boom’ left a massive hole in the ground. Like a stone cannon, it charged towards Si Mulan. Hu---- A mountainous aura came from the surroundings and even a hall made of stones felt as if it would shatter with just this aura alone.
The Wolfman leader’s sudden explosiveness in speed had reached a shocking step close to the limit of the Spirit Realm Cultivator. Staabbed!! As its spear had turned into a raging flood dragon, the Wolfman leader unleashed an attack with its spear when it was a few meters away from Si Mulan. Simultaneously, the bronze furred Wolfman leader sent out a soul-shaking roar that sent terrifying waves in every direction.
Booom! The rocks below fell down and Si Mulan circulated her Spiritual Qi to protect her vitals but even then she was forced back by a powerful gust of wind and her eardrums hurt, almost vomiting blood. That one roar alone was able to make most geniuses surrender.
Lightning Strike! Si Mulan coldly swiped her hand and the Lightning Qi in the sky started to move. Bam! An arc of lightning an arm wide with a faint bluish light struck the Wolfman leader. Everything within a dozen yards radius started to burn. However, the monster’s defense was not something to be underestimated. It was extremely powerful and stronger than the other demonic creatures Si Mulan had seen before in the Despair Grieving Mountain. Boom----- Lightning crackled but the Wolfman’s figure remained still.
A dark yellow hard fur appeared on its skin and a tiny scorch mark was left. And that layer of yellow fur then started to heal in an incredible speed.
“What terrifying defense. This monster’s defense alone is enough to intimidate other monsters!” Although Si Mulan had expected this she was still surprised. The move just then was a tester but its power wasn’t to be underestimated.
Awwwoooohhh—!! Seeing Si Mulan’s attack not affecting him, the Wolfman leader’s eyes flashed a contemptuous expression. It then howled and charged towards Si Mulan. Boom! Bam! Boom! Wherever the ferocious demonic beast passed by the ground and rocks would shatter. In its sight, Si Mulan’s figure was tiny and seemed to be unable to move or even resist due to the pressure.
“Hmph! Bastard!” Si Mulan’s eyes flickered lightning and her hair blew in the wind. Golden lightning arcs flickered around him like golden snakes and she seemed like a Lord of Thunder. Shua! With a flash a blur of afterimages were left behind. The Wolfman’s leader’s eyes became blurry as she lost track of Si Mulan.
“Peng!” A foot wrapped in lightning suddenly smashed towards its wolf mouth mercilessly. “Wu….?!!” The Wolfman leader’s figure and howling stopped. Its expression was as if it had eaten a pile of shit and choked on it. Its mouth became instantly scorched and this Demonic monster paid the price for underestimating its enemy. However, Si Mulan wasn’t as advantaged as she thought.
“What a powerful body.” Si Mulan's foot seemed to hit a mountain and went numb.
“Awwwoooohhh—!!!” The Wolfman leader finally reacted and roared, making the ground tremble then sent its spear, swinging like a baseball bat towards Si Mulan, simple and straightforward, yet powerful. Before the spear arrived the gust of wind with it could already make normal Ancestor Realm Cultivators vomit blood.
Once directly hit by this attack the outcome was unthinkable.
Shua! A shadow flashed, and Si Mulan appeared dozens of yards away from the monster. In terms of speed and movement, Si Mulan surpassed the ferocious Demonic Beast. Moving like lightning, [Lightning Step], it was a high-level skill that was taught to her by his beloved Master. One that said to embody oneself into lightning.
“Ice Lightning Blast!! Si Mulan gritted her teeth and raised her sword then slashing it forward, sending auras of ice and lightning over the Wolfman leader.
Bam! A large Blade Qi of ice and lightning, arcing towards the Wolfman leader. Clouds of dust covered the entire area—however, Si Mulan knows that with the monster’s defense, it surely wasn’t hurt by her attack!
“It seems like this fight will become even troublesome…” Si Mulan muttered with a sigh.
… …
Lan Ling ‘er held her sword tightly, her Qi exploded and unleashed consecutive hits. The surrounding Wolfmen’s heads immediately exploded. As soon as she got rid of the beasts that tangled around her body, Lan Ling ‘er lifted her head and looked at the others. The Wolfmen were attacking at an alarming speed and there were a large number of them. The people could only manage to avoid and defend themselves against them. Only several could fight back...however, with their current powers, there was no danger just like a while ago.
They were still able to defend themselves properly.
Complementing her Spiritual Qi with the skills she obtains from the Trade Shop of Dawn; [Gale Of Protection] [Wind Speed] and [Ghastly Steps], Lan Ling ‘er made her way through the monster group like a ghost. It was a quick, clean attack as she killed all the Wolfmen with just one hit. There were dead bodies of the monsters wherever she passed.
Comparable to Si Mulan and the other geniuses, Lan Ling ‘er was someone who couldn’t be underestimated in any means. She could even kill a peak Ancestral realm monster on her own. She was a genuine genius with core competencies that every organization was looking for. Anyone with such core competencies was highly valued by most of the organizations and Sect. They would never release this kind of genius if nothing serious happened. If not for Allen, she would have the same cultivation speed with Si Mulan.
But now, with additional skills and items obtained from the Trade Shop of DAWN, her terrifying aspect is starting to bloom!
Lan Ling ‘er was like a loach among the Wolfmen pack, wriggling freely. Meanwhile, there were dead bodies collapsing all over every spot that she passed. After a few minutes, the members of her group then felt more relaxed as it was obvious that the number of monsters that attacked them had reduced. Several of her teammates, who were on Ancestor Realm, soon noticed that Lan Ling ‘er was making her way through the monster horde. A flicker of fear flashed through their eyes right at the moment that they witnessed the terrifying speed of her assault. All of them seemed to be motivated by her and their frequency of attack spiked as well.
"...they are nothing compred to the monsters that guy created. Even one of those he had casually made, is enough to make me run to the end of the world, making me tremble in fear." Lan Ling 'er bemused. Then, her gaze turned sharp; "Come, come at me together. All of you, at the same time! Don't you dare underistimate me! I'm one of those who had succesfully come out from hell! You're all nothing!!"
In less than fifteen minutes, Lan Ling ‘er alone had killed up to over twenty Wolfmen. The entire team then managed to clear all the rest of the Wolfmen that was besieging them. The number of monsters killed by Lan Ling ‘er was on par with the total number of monsters killed by four to five of them.
Many of them looked at Lan Ling ‘er with respect and envy.
