The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 80: The Trap

Qin Wentian's speed was lightning fast as he dashed explosively to the side of the forest, successfully losing his pursuer. The two men who were chasing him stopped and decided to give up. After all, there were still things waiting for their attention.

Right now, Yanaro dashed forward at an incomparable speed. Waving his hands at the people on his left and right sides, he commanded, "Follow it carefully."

The surrounding people silently nodded their eyes, as they soundlessly tracked down their prey.

As time passed, the crowd from the previous banquet had all arrived at the hunting grounds, and crossed the boundary of the Dark Forest. Here, the demon Qi was much thicker, so there were many who slowed down their speed as they walked along together.

Mu Rou had already descended and even killed demonic beasts, eliminating the demon core with refined and trained movements. The young nobles who came from aristocratic clans had followed their elders and were angry at themselves from a young age, so they were all very familiar with hunting.

"Demonic Qi." At this moment, Mu Rou raised her head and directed her vision forward. Without hesitation, he turned around and ran away. He had long learned about the difference regarding the correlation of demonic Qi density and the dangers they represented. This wave of demonic Qi he felt was something he could not win over. And thus, he decisively fled in the opposite direction.

Just as he left the area, a scorching heat wave radiated and burned the nearby trees. Quickly, several lion-shaped demonic beasts appeared. The bodies of these ferocious beasts were as strong as rocks and shone with a yellow light.

Astral Demon Beast, Volcanic Lion.

These types of beasts were able to absorb the Astral Energy from the fire-type constellations to aid in their maturation. Not only could they utilize the power of fire in their attacks, their bodies were also extremely formidable. A scary opponent indeed.

Not only that, the Volcano Lion was all ferocious and bloodthirsty.

All the lions gallantly ran towards Mu Rou. Mu Rou frantically ran forward, but she too, immediately discovered a dense wave of demonic Qi coming from the side.

"Chu Ling." Mu Rou whispered as she looked at the figure surrounded by a group of demon wolves. Cutting through the pitiful-looking figure, Chu Ling would be overwhelmed at any moment.

Other than Chu Ling, there was another group of people who clashed with other demonic beasts. They were none other than Qin Yao and his group from the Snowcloud Country.

Mu Rou quickly ran over to save Chu Ling. Even before he arrived, he unleashed an Astral Soul-type hurricane, which explosively increased his speed. In an instant, he arrived at Chu Ling's position and attacked with his palm. His palm strike contained the sharpest sword-cutting power, inspired by the power of the wind, and they ransacked the demonic wolf that was about to pounce on Chu Ling.

"I don't need you to help me," Chu Ling replied coldly, although she was still trembling in fear.

“There are powerful demonic beasts that come here. Quick, let's run, "yell Mu Rou. Since many wolves were blocking their way, he could already see the silhouette of the Volcano Lion running into their position.

"You want to hurt me on purpose." Chu Ling's face turned green when she saw the Volcano Lion. The aura emitted by these lions indicated that they were at least tier 5 demonic beasts, equivalent to human cultivators in the middle-tier Artery Circulation, between tier 4 and 6.

A fire volley was spat out by the lion towards Mu Rou. Mu Rou's facial sharpness grew extremely unsightly as she deepened her Wind-type Astral Soul power, increasing her movement speed to avoid the fireball with perfect footwork techniques. The Volcanic Lions' defense was too strong to fight Mu Rou.

Just when the two of them clashed frantically against the demonic beast, Yanaro slowly walked out, his face showing a strange smile.

"Yanaro, why don't you start helping?" Chu Ling desperately called out when she saw Yanaro. Yanaro smiled coldly, "Do you want me to help you or Mu Rou?"

"Since Mu Rou hates you so much, you don't have to keep throwing your face away and sticking to her." Chu Ling replied coldly, followed by a scream as the attack of a beast missed him.

Mu Rou's face froze, before, she had always had a very close relationship with Chu Ling, but to think because of Qin Wentian, Chu Ling hated her so much.

"Hehe." Yanaro did not seem to be in a hurry to intervene, as he stood there laughing, "How much will you pay for me?"

"I'll give you 50 layers of 2 Meteor Stones Yuan." Chu Ling gritted her teeth and cursed Yanaro in her heart. This bastard actually wanted to blackmail him in times of crisis. Mu Rou remained silent and continued to fight against the demonic beasts.

At this moment, a blurry silhouette flashed with unimaginable speed. The figure appeared beside Mu Rou and executed a fist technique in the midst of a draconic roar, destroying one of the Volcanic Lions explosively.

"Boom!" A tyrannical force threw the Volcanic Lion into the air. From this, one could see just how powerful the Dragon Conqueror's Fist was.

"Here we go!" The dazzling shock on Mu Rou's face as she looked at the kirin masked figure before her. Although the clothes he was wearing had changed, seeing his figure as well as the Dragon Guards Fist that this person had executed, Mu Rou was able to confirm that his savior was none other than Qin Wentian.

Chu Ling also noticed the arrival of the masked figure of kirin. To think that he would appear here today, which academy did he come from, exactly?

"Give it to me." Qin Wentian pressed his voice against the baritone, as he executed the Garuda Movement Technique. For a moment, Mu Rou only saw a series of after-image flashes by. Those demon wolves were not at all a threat to him – even the Volcano Lion, when Qin Wentian came into contact with anything, their stone-like bodies would be destroyed, resulting in miserable injuries. The human-level innate technique, Dragon Subduing Fists, could unleash its full potential and was extremely tyrannical in Qin Wentian's hands, causing immense admiration and shock for everyone who witnessed it.

The energy used to ignite his innate technique came from the Qi he absorbed from the 5th Heavenly Layer before it solidified and condensed into Divine Energy. How could his attacks not dominate?

Yanaro's expression grew unsightly. There he is, the one who hunts members of the Knight Association in the Dreamsky Forest!

In the blink of an eye, only the Volcanic Lion remained after Qin Wentian's powerful barrage of attacks. His level of strength was comparable to that of a human at level 6 Arterial Circulation.

"Room!" The Volcanic Lion howled furiously as he furiously lunged towards Qin Wentian.

"Dead!" Qin Wentian spat in a low voice. At the same time, he unleashed a tyrannical hand strike. His palm was slightly wobbly in the air, containing the harmony of the dual concept of hardness and tenderness. Possessing terrifying strength, it landed on the head of the Volcanic Lion. The sound of cracks echoed as the Volcanic Lion's skull shattered. It sank to the ground, forever silenced.

"How strong ..." Chu Ling's heart trembled. The aura this man emitted showed that he was at the 5th level of Arterial Circulation. To think that his martial prowess was at such a high level, it even surpassed cultivators at the 6th level.

As for Yanaro, his eyes flickered with a sharp glint of light. That palm strike earlier seemed to have come from the Thousand Traces Hand, but then again, he could not be certain.

Mu Rou was calmer in comparison. After arguing with Qin Wentian for a few days, he knew that Qin Wentian possessed outstanding combat abilities. His body flickered as he killed the demonic wolf that surrounded Chu Ling, and very quickly, the battlefield was emptied of demonic beasts.

On the other hand, Qin Yao and his group were still struggling, but from the looks of it, Qin Yao did not seem to be in any danger.

"Boom!" At this moment, a domineering wave of sword intent gushed out from Yanaro's body. Taking a step forward, his killing intent surged as he looked at Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian was not caught unconscious. Turning his body and looking at Yanaro's actions, an extremely cold light flickered in his eyes.

"Buzz." Yanaro hurried. As he moved, the sword Qi he emitted grew increasingly saturated. It was no exaggeration to say that the sword Qi he released at this moment was akin to a brutal sword storm.

"Boom!" The earth shattered beneath Qin Wentian's feet, as he exploded towards Yanaro. The Divine energy in his body furiously circulated through his five circular arterial pathways, emitting sounds similar to ocean waves.

"Chichi ...." Yanaro's finger pierced forward, and the energy he released turned into a sharp sword that flew towards Qin Wentian.

However, not only did Qin Wentian not slow down, he further increased his speed. Just as the sword was about to pierce through his body, he twisted his body to the side and continued running forward.

"Hgm." Yanaro coldly laughed, while waving his hand. This time, five swords were formed from the sword energy released by his five fingers. The sword Qi released was so powerful that it seemed to be able to ruin everything.

But at the same time, the Divine Energy flowing in Qin Wentian's body had reached its peak. channeling strength into his palm, Qin Wentian sent a palm strike towards Yanaro. This palm strike was so powerful that it felt capable of dropping mountains and overturning seas.

As their attacks collided, the traces of Qin Wentian's palm were torn apart mercilessly. Qin Wentian quickly retreated while Yanaro was forced to retreat by the impact as well. Looking again at Qin Wentian, the killing intent in Yanaro's eyes grew stronger.

Qin Wentian lowered his head as he stared at his robe. A terrifying sword energy had tore through his robe, leaving a huge hole behind. If not for him retreating decisively, he would have been the one injured by the sword Qi. After all, Yanaro was a cultivator at the 7th level of the Artery Circulation, so it wasn't easy to defeat him.

At this moment, several figures stepped forward. Qin Wentian contemplated his surroundings as his body flickered backwards. While he was retreating, he glanced at Qin Yao's side. They had ended their battle and continued their advance.

"No ....." At this moment, a voice filled with pain cried out, causing Qin Wentian to become stiff. This voice belonged to Qin Yao.

Ignoring everything, Qin Wentian's body flickered, his speed reaching its limit. When he saw what was happening, his body involuntarily trembled violently.

Within his field of vision, he could see an enormous black fortress that exuded a sinister feeling. That deep, dark block, made from darksteel, gave people a very miserable feeling when they looked at it.

Just outside the black fortress, there was a training ground around it. In the middle of the drill ground, a group of terrifying ferocious beasts were besieging a middle-aged figure. Traces of bloody wounds covered the body of the middle-aged figure, and his hair was fluttering wildly in the wind. Regardless of the condition of his body, there was a resolute, immortal will that could be seen in the depths of his eyes.

"Dad." Qin Yao sobbed.

"Dad." Qin Wentian took a deep breath, struggling to remain calm.

The reason why Yanaro followed Qin Yao all the way was for now? To see Qin Yao witness the cruel sight of their father being torn apart?

Was this scenario deliberately prepared for Qin Yao?

Chu Tianjiao, what was the purpose of doing so?

Yanaro, Chu Ling, Mu Rou and the others all arrived at the surroundings near the black fortress.

"The legendary black fortress." Mu Rou whispered. The black camp is the place where prisoners sentenced to death are held. It is said to be located somewhere in the Dark Forest, and once you are imprisoned, it will be difficult to escape even if one is given wings.

The middle-aged figure was none other than the father of Qin Wentian and Qin Yao – Qin Chuan.

Thinking of this, Mu Rou rushed to Qin Wentian's side and warned in a low voice, "The black fortress is famous for its airtight security. It just allows people to get in but not out. Now that Qin Chuan is outside of it, be careful, this might be a trap. "

Qin Wentian's heart trembled. So, it turned out that Mu Rou knew his identity.

Clearly this was a trap, but why would Chu Tianjiao want to set up such a trap?

Although he did not understand, the flames of unquenchable fury had already started to burn his heart.
