Chapter 395: Chapter 391: Will You Believe Me If I Say This Was an Accident?
Facing Alpha, who was a Mid-Level King, the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse showed no fear. The shrouds around its body danced in the wind, actively drawing energy from the surrounding blood vortex to nourish itself.
Carl could disrupt the flow of his enemy’s blood, while the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse could absorb it. In this trial, they practically had home-field advantage.
“Is this the power of Ninety-Eight? I’ve never seen it before.”
Ye Ershijiu curiously glanced at Carl outside, quickly recognizing the source of Carl’s power.
“Normal. Ninety-Eight and our dad have the same character. Heaven knows how many descendants they have outside. It’s probably some forgotten bloodline descendant.”
Ye Liu shrugged, kicking away a pesky pet beast. He looked at Li Xusheng, who was fighting a King Creature and said, “In just such a short time, Little Xusheng has become a Fifth Stage Beastmaster already. Humans sure are out of the ordinary.”
“What, Big Sis, are you also thinking of getting a Beast Master Contract?”
Ye Ershijiu leaned over to Ye Liu, speaking earnestly, “Big Sis, you may not have reached Emperor-Level yet, but we’ve always been living in this Eden, and it doesn’t really matter how strong we are. After all, dad’s always there.”
“Idiot, didn’t you see that Master Aleta has come out to give her blessings? I suspect that we won’t have peace for long.”
Ye Liu fiercely smacked Ye Ershijiu’s head, then looked at the four remaining human Beast Tamers and their pets on the stage, “Let’s see how capable these human Beast Tamers are first. If they aren’t up to par, then there’s no need.”
The conversation between the two Blood Beasts didn’t attract much attention.
For example, from Carl.
Seeing Alpha just standing there quietly, Carl didn’t want to wait any longer. The dark yellow shroud, like a spider web, covered Alpha. Unseen in the shadows, strands of bloody energy quietly slithered over to Alpha’s side.
In the face of the concentrated attack from the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse, Alpha calmly switched to the Sword of the Wind Chaser. His arm moved swiftly to form an invisible wind barrier in front. The shroud from the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse was cut into countless fragments as soon as it came near.
“Useless, the shroud of the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse is not just ordinary cloth. As long as there is fresh blood to supplement it, it can automatically repair itself!”
Carl grinned, his blood-red eyes twinkling, continually helping the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse draw energy from the surrounding vortex. The shredded shrouds were instantly regathered as though they were alive.
For some reason, however, these fragments, about to gather, appeared to be disrupted in some way, and they couldn’t fully regenerate.
“The sharpness of the Sword of the Wind Chaser is not so easily repairable.”
Bai Qi grinned, “As Alpha’s second Transcendent Skill, apart from the sharpness of the Sword of the Wind Chaser and the cloaking effect of the Pursuing Wind Barrier, it practically has no other abilities.”
But because of this, wounds cut by the Sword of the Wind Chaser couldn’t heal easily.
“Damn it, don’t any of this guy’s pets behave normally?”
Carl cursed under his breath then unhesitatingly activated his force field. The blood-colored force field spread out all around, continually draining the surrounding blood into Carl’s body. The Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse’s body gradually became fuller.
When the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse finished transforming, it stood at least five meters tall, making Alpha look like a little skeleton in comparison.
“In this state, no one is a match for the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse!”
Considering the previous defeat, Carl had significantly strengthened the force field of the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse. It could affect the surrounding energy and substantially enhance the Blood Corpse’s strength and other attributes.
The current Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse could smash any enemy with a single punch.
“Such confidence…”
Bai Qi clicked his tongue, looked at the increasingly sparse enemies around the ring, and said, “Alpha, it’s about time to wrap this up. We have several more trials later.”
Click clack.
(Alright, boss, I’m on it.)
Upon receiving Bai Qi’s command, Alpha finally stepped away from his spot. But the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse only saw Alpha lift his foot before losing sight of Alpha entirely.
What speed!
Alpha’s sudden speed attracted the attention of many transcendent creatures present. Among them were high-grade Kings, but none of them could see Alpha’s track.
Although some Emperor-level creatures clearly saw Alpha’s movements, they were equally surprised.
Is it a speed-type creature?
“Fast speed, but your attack moves are too predictable!”
Seeing Alpha disappear, Carl roared angrily, and the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse immediately swung the stone tablet behind it. Judging from the bitter wind around it, it was clearly giving it its all.
With such a fast attack, of course, he would choose the back as the point of attack. Such a simple prediction couldn’t confuse Carl.
The stone tablet landed heavily, and the enormous force shook the arena.
However, it didn’t hit Alpha.
Thump!
Then, the sound of a blade piercing flesh sounded. The Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse looked down to find a slender wound on its chest. Countless tiny wind blades then raged inside its body.
“Tsk tsk… He knew he would stage a sneak attack from behind and yet he still turned his back, he was just helping Alpha.”
Bai Qi grinned, while Alpha quickly switched to the Gravity Sword and swung. The Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse was sent flying.
Just a lower-level king was not enough for Alpha to beat.
“Eh, so this is the Death Sword Monarch, the evolutionary form of that Skeleton Soldier in the manual? Indeed handsome!”
Just after Alpha cleanly dealt with the Tablet-Carrying Blood Corpse, Wang Chuan suddenly popped out from the ground beside him, examining Alpha up and down with curiosity before suddenly throwing a punch at Alpha.
Click, clack?
(Boss, can I take this guy on?)
“Feel free, as long as it’s not Li Xusheng, anyone else is fair game.”
Click, clack.
(Understood.)
Alpha nodded, sidestepping Wang Chuan’s punch. He was about to strike back, but he suddenly perceived something and instinctively recoiled.
Whoosh~
An invisible tentacle flicked past Alpha’s side, piercing straight through the ground beside him. Shortly after, slender currents of electricity appeared from thin air and crawled towards Alpha.
“Cloud Smoke Jellyfish, it has a thunder attribute too?”
Bai Qi looked surprised at this sight. Yi Yu explained, “Although the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish normally lives in the sea, when there’s a storm, it bathes in skyborne lightning. However, very few can acquire the electric attribute. Wang Chuan spent a lot of effort to cultivate this.”
“I see, water and thunder make a classic combination.”
Bai Qi nodded slightly. A physique like a mist combined with an electric attack meant that ordinary physical attack pets could only take blows.
Sure enough, after its initial attack failed, the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish did not give up but continued its offensive. Its invisible tentacles enveloped in thunder furiously attacked Alpha, showing no mercy even though Bai Qi was an ally.
Not only that, Wang Chuan, who was shrouded in a cloud, surprisingly used similar techniques. When he punched, it also brought thunder energy with it.
“Minister Yi, is Wang Chuan a Dual Talent user?”
Yi Yu shook his head and said, “No, it’s just that Wang Chuan and Cloud Smoke Jellyfish share the same bloodline. Along with the special nature of the jellyfish, this effect can be produced.”
Fine, another non-human advantage.
Bai Qi clamped his mouth shut and turned his eyes back to the arena.
Faced with the perfect coordination of Wang Chuan and his pet, Alpha was under some pressure but still managed with ease. He moved agilely around the arena, even leveraging the power of the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish and Wang Chuan to indirectly eliminate a few challengers.
The remaining number in the arena decreased again.
“Xusheng, your two companions are impressive.”
Ye Liu watched the chase unfolding between Alpha and Wang Chuan in the arena and couldn’t help but laugh.
“It’s nothing to do with me. I’ll get the blessing with my own strength.”
Li Xusheng waved his twin hammers, and another array shone from behind him. A giant black mosquito slowly emerged from it, then directly attached itself to Li Xusheng before anyone could react.
“River-of-Death mosquito? You really picked a good beast.”
Ye Liu was surprised at the sight, the relaxed look on his face gradually disappeared.
[Name]: River-of-Death Mosquito
[Nature]: Insect
[Bloodline Level]: High-grade King
…
Ye Liu, in his leopard form, inherited his father’s, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor’s, agility and sense of danger.
The moment Li Xusheng merged with the River-of-Death mosquito, Ye Liu perceived a strong sense of danger.
Is it because he is human that his speed increased so quickly?
Ye Liu’s gaze became even more serious, and then he transformed into a phantom and pounced towards Li Xusheng.
Buzz, buzz, buzz…
The sound of mosquito wings flapping echoed. Li Xusheng dodged Ye Liu’s attack in a very strange way, and at the same time, he swung his hammer towards Ye Liu.
However, Ye Liu’s agility was equally impressive. He leaped into the air, surprisingly managed to change direction mid-air and pounced at Li Xusheng once again.
“Sister Liu’s blood manipulation is still so refined.”
Watching this, Ye Ershijiu couldn’t help but marvel. He was planning to enjoy the fight when he saw a hammer heading straight towards him.
“You little Xusheng, you even sneak attack!”
Caught off guard, Ye Ershijiu quickly raised his thick arms to block. Before he could counterattack, he saw Ye Liu being hammered by Li Xusheng and thrown at him.
“Sister Liu, are you okay?”
Ye Ershijiu quickly caught Ye Liu, but Li Xusheng was already in front of them. His wings shrouded in blood-lightning slammed down, intending to eliminate them both simultaneously.
Boom!
However, at that moment, a curved pillar of fire suddenly attacked from the side, sending the attention-distracted Ye Liu and Ye Ershijiu flying.
Li Xusheng saw this and slowly retracted his hammers, he glanced at Alpha, who was holding the Undying Flame Sword near him, then abruptly looked up at Bai Qi.
“Er, would you believe me if I said this was an accident?”
