Martial Ascent to Divinity-Chapter 673 - 652: The Wounded

There may very well be Dragon God’s bone fragments or other treasures there.

"If there’s Dragon God’s Bone Powder, then the cultivation effect..."

After running for more than an hour, two familiar shadows appeared ahead.

The Light of Redemption and Arjun were running frantically, glancing back now and then.

Seeing Zhou Leng, they were both shocked and delighted.

The closer they got, the stranger their gaze, staring at Zhou Leng studiously.

How does a human possess dragon’s might?

No mistake, and it’s very high-grade dragon’s might.

"What’s wrong?" Zhou Leng asked.

Arjun urgently replied, "Something happened, Divine Death Beasts went crazy, killing everywhere. The giant squad you led earlier encountered fleeing Dragon Carp People, then were chased by a large number of Divine Death Beasts. We watched from afar and dared not intervene, we could only escape first."

"Which direction did they flee in?"

"That way..." Arjun quickly pointed.

"Be careful, both of you." Zhou Leng said, then suddenly accelerated, rushing out with three times the speed of sound, increasingly faster, soon reaching four times the speed of sound.

While running, both kept glancing back at Zhou Leng.

"He seems to have gotten stronger again."

"No surprise, he must have received the Dragon God’s gaze."

"He’s growing so fast." The Light of Redemption sighed inwardly, finally understanding why the Demon Worship Sect Hierarch wanted to kill him.

Suddenly, Zhou Leng turned around.

Arjun was puzzled, the Light of Redemption’s heart pounded wildly, a paralyzing fear surged—one that was all too familiar.

"Can’t be scared, can’t be scared..."

Zhou Leng stopped, gesturing Arjun aside, looking at the Light of Redemption.

The Light of Redemption forced a stiff smile and said, "Greetings, honorable Baron Guan Canglong."

Zhou Leng took out a locator, the Light of Redemption’s eyes changed dramatically.

Zhou Leng tossed the locator up and caught it as he spoke, "I know this involves him, you can’t disclose it, right?"

The Light of Redemption helplessly nodded.

"However, since it’s a matter of the Demon Worship Sect and Demon, I can’t ignore it, hand over yours too."

The Light of Redemption stiffened, looking at Zhou Leng, saying nothing.

"Do I need to take action?" Zhou Leng’s face was calm.

The Light of Redemption’s mind went blank, but his right hand unconsciously reached into the Magic Spirit Bag, retrieving the locator and handed it over.

"Fortunately, I trust you’ll be a good collaborator, like Shen Jun and Jax."

Zhou Leng said, turning to leave.

The Light of Redemption sighed, this task was a failure, he could only watch others now.

Wait, how did Zhou Leng know about the locator?

"Follow me, join the rescue." Zhou Leng’s voice called out.

The Light of Redemption and Arjun exchanged glances, sighing softly.

Out of the tiger’s den, into the wolf’s lair.

Zhou Leng raced ahead, suddenly encountering a large group of Divine Death Beasts, numbering over a hundred.

These Divine Death Beasts were wolf-like in shape, their teeth protruding, their bodies covered in bright red dragon scales, seven to eight meters long, larger than lions or tigers, resembling small elephants.

Their claws far exceeded those of normal wolves, extremely similar to dragon claws, at a distance, resembling Kirins.

Thus, they were named Kirin Wolves.

Some Kirin Wolves behind were dragging many items, including debris, corpses, and unconscious living beings, some were conscious but unable to escape due to heavy injuries.

Zhou Leng originally didn’t intend to interfere, but discovered the items dragged by the Divine Death Beasts included beings from the Ten Realms, including giants, giant dragons, and even humans.

Narrowing his eyes, he scanned these Kirin Wolves.

Two Grandmasters, dozens of Upper-Rank Grandmasters, the rest were ordinary Grandmasters or Innates.

The Kirin Wolves also noticed Zhou Leng.

The leading Grandmaster Kirin Wolf howled, seven Upper-Rank Grandmaster Kirin Wolves leapt from all directions, skillfully forming an encircling net, charging at Zhou Leng.

"Drop them, spare your lives." Zhou Leng spoke in Divine Text.

The Kirin Wolves were Divine Death Beasts, not as intelligent as Giant Divine Spirits and Giant Dragon Divine Spirits, but possessing remaining divine power, they could slightly understand Divine Text.

But, after all, they were beasts, sensing the opponent’s strength and peculiarity, the fear in their bloodlines converted into rage, howling and charging forward.

In the Kirin Wolf pack, some heavily injured people slowly turned their heads, looking towards the battle scene.

An injured person had eyes wide open, unable to suppress the cheer in his gaze.

"He’s come to save me... he’s indeed my best child..."

The heavily injured Mrs. Xiyang was bound, dragged along with others by an Innate Kirin Wolf.

"No, can’t let him see me like this..."

Mrs. Xiyang used her remaining strength to transform nearby earth into black mud, smearing it on her face, concealing some traits of a succubus, hiding her tail.

At a glance, she seemed merely an unlucky human Grandmaster.

She originally possessed immense power, especially adept at illusion techniques and spiritual power, but facing the Divine Spirit Beast horde, it was useless.

Her Grandmaster team was decimated, either killed or wounded.

Now, she had become food for the Divine Death Beasts.

But, Zhou Leng appeared.

"Indeed he’s my most valued child..."

Mrs. Xiyang watched Zhou Leng’s back, eyes full of affection, but soon turning to worry.

She immediately altered her vocal cords, shouting loudly, "Run, you’re no match!"

Sound has speed too.

At the speed of sound, her voice flew towards Zhou Leng.

While Zhou Leng charged forward at four times the speed of sound, raising his hand, he swiftly pointed seven times.

Seven streaks of Finger Sword Qi flew out at eight times the speed of sound, piercing through the foreheads of the seven Kirin Wolves almost simultaneously.

The seven Kirin Wolves let out dying howls, collapsing.

At that moment, Mrs. Xiyang’s voice reached.

Zhou Leng looked towards the direction of the voice. A human female Grandmaster, someone he had never seen before. Tall in stature, vaguely familiar, but he had indeed never heard this voice.

He nodded slightly to express gratitude and continued to charge forward.

"This child, even if he doesn’t recognize me, he’s willing to risk his life to rescue..."

The two Grandmaster Qilin wolves instantly sensed the opponent’s strength and charged together.

If it were ordinary Grandmasters, Zhou Leng could now defeat them with a single punch each.

However, these were Divine Death Beasts with divine bloodlines.

The speed of the two beasts surpassed four times the speed of sound. Due to their special animal body structure, at times, their speed and reaction were even beyond Zhou Leng’s.

Before the Dragon God’s gaze, Zhou Leng had to immediately use Astral True Power with all his might, at the cost of severe injury, for a pyrrhic victory.

But now, Zhou Leng was calm and composed from start to finish.

A Grandmaster Qilin wolf suddenly pounced from behind, its sharp claws raising wind blades capable of cutting the enemy’s skin and flesh.

Zhou Leng didn’t even look, raised his right hand, and flicked backwards.

The power pierced through the void, and with the strength of the East Wind Fist, it hit the sharp claws from several meters away.

In the horrific collision, the Grandmaster Qilin wolf only felt its claws go numb, losing balance and landing prematurely, unable to attack swiftly.

It glanced down at its claw, finding a slight dent from the flick.

Even a Grandmaster Giant Dragon couldn’t leave such a mark.

The other Grandmaster Qilin wolf launched a frontal attack, paws slashing and teeth biting.

Zhou Leng used only one hand, employing various East Wind Fist techniques to firmly block.

Before long, the two Qilin wolves attacked in perfect harmony from the left and right.

Within Zhou Leng’s body, the Starlight Veins continuously absorbed the power of the sky’s stars and this star, enveloping his body.

After a brief trial, the two Qilin wolves finally attacked with full force.

Bang bang bang...

The three fighters turned into afterimages flashing rapidly.

Fist and claws clashed, sounding chaos in the air.

Each of Zhou Leng’s punches weighed several times heavier.

The added power of the Starlight Veins was akin to a Fierce Beast wielding its thousand-ton body force against enemies.

After merely a hundred exchanges, the two Grandmaster Qilin wolves looked at each other, then at their Dragon Wolf Claws.

Though the claws were as tough as real dragon claws, the hardest nails showed no cracks.

But the problem was, the bones and flesh connected to the nails were cracked and bleeding.

The nails could withstand the force, but the flesh could not.

The two Qilin wolves felt an illusion that this seemingly small human carried the massive force of a Giant Dragon with each attack.

"Awoo..."

The two Grandmaster Qilin wolves suddenly howled, activating their divine blood.

Dense black flames erupted from their bodies, covering them.

Their speed, strength, reflexes, and more sharply increased, surpassing Zhou Leng.

Zhou Leng was already giving it his all, yet his body was continuously struck by the Qilin wolves.

The claws of the Qilin wolves were too strong; even though his body was strengthened by the Ancient Call and protected by the Starlight Veins, his skin was still broken.

"No wonder they have divine bloodlines..."

"Run fast!" Mrs. Xiyang shouted from afar.

As soon as the words fell, a new sun rose in Zhou Leng’s chest and abdomen.

Astral True Power coursed through his entire body.

Both hands transformed from fists into claws, piercing through the void a meter away to grasp the paws of the two Qilin wolves.

Zhou Leng violently swung upwards, attempting to smash the two large Qilin wolves to the ground.

The beasts were extremely ferocious. With a crack, they twisted off their own paws, breaking free from the restraint, and charged forward, one biting towards the head, the other towards the side waist.

Zhou Leng stomped with his right foot, and his hands moved like the wind, stirring the surroundings.

East Wind Fist, ninth move, Wind Sweeps the Sky.

The terrifying punch turned into a visible gray tornado, encircling his body.

This tornado contained not only the force of the East Wind Fist but also the unique power comprehended at the Ancient River Sect ruins.

The power of that star, composed of countless hurricanes and tornadoes, disrupted the Qilin wolves’ minds.

Mid-air, the Qilin wolves lost their balance, swirling rapidly around Zhou Leng, dizzy and unable to attack.

Zhou Leng’s figure flashed.

One punch pierced through a wolf’s head.

Another punch thrust through a wolf’s belly.

In the battle of top Grandmasters, even a slight disadvantage could determine victory or defeat.

Zhou Leng took the two wolf corpses and dashed towards the other Qilin wolves.

These Qilin wolves, despite being divine blood, showed no fear even after the head wolf’s death. They howled mournfully to the sky and charged together.

Under the level of Grandmaster, before the East Wind Fist, it was one punch per wolf.

Initially, either the wolves’ heads exploded or their bodies burst apart.

In the end, as the force penetrated inside, the Qilin wolves flew out unscathed.

In just a moment, Zhou Leng slaughtered the wolf pack, collecting all the corpses.

Taking the Qilin wolves’ spoils, he gathered the Ten Realms’ beings’ corpses encountered, to be returned to their tribes later.

Finally, Zhou Leng gathered a dozen living people together.

At this moment, footsteps approached.

The Light of Redemption and Ajon emerged through the mist, seeing the chaos on the ground.

"You two, guard them to Wanyun Mountain. I can’t disengage."

After saying this, Zhou Leng tossed a seized Grandmaster Pill, which fell in front of the female Grandmaster who had reminded him, nodded slightly, and ran into the distance.

The Light of Redemption, having worked with Mrs. Xiyang many times, recognized her at a glance.

But Zhou Leng pretended not to know her.

"He can really act..."

The Light of Redemption shouted loudly, "Rest assured, we will definitely do our utmost to rescue them."
