Chapter 396: Chapter 392: A Decisive Blow!

Bai Qi scratched his head speechlessly before shooting a fierce look at Wang Chuan.

During the chase battle earlier, Alpha and Wang Chuan had cooperatively taken care of other opponents in a tacit understanding, hence Alpha no longer hid his strength. He switched directly to the Undying Flame Sword, planning on defeating Wang Chuan in one fell swoop.

However, clearly Wang Chuan’s combat experience was far richer than Bai Qi’s. The moment Alpha activated his Undying Flame Sword, Wang Chuan astonishingly used the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish’s water and lightning attribute of his Twin Pets to construct a burning trajectory. This not only intensified Alpha’s Undying Flame but also sneakily attacked Ye Liu and Ye Ershijiu.

As for the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish, it remained unscathed.

“To think I’d be used against myself… it’s so irritating…”

Veins popped in Bai Qi’s forehead, and he felt inexplicably annoyed looking at Wang Chuan, whose face still bore a sunny smile.

Finally, he understood why villains in novels, animations, and even films were always irritated by those protagonists who were eternally optimistically laughing. It was indeed a bit annoying.

Not only was Bai Qi annoyed, but Alpha, who had just been outwitted, abandoned his prior playful attitude. An intimidating momentum erupted from him, and it attracted even the Twelve Guardians who were watching from above.

“What a powerful fighting spirit, this little guy was born to battle!”

The Guardian of War, the Demon-subduing Venerable God, viewed Alpha with interest, speaking regretfully.

“Unfortunately, my power isn’t suitable for him.”

“It’s truly rare for you, Wu, to think highly of a King Creature. It seems like I’m going to snatch it from you,” the Eternal Night Emperor smirked in triumph. His Blood Ability, paired with the Skeleton type, was much more advantageous.

“A skeleton, possessing the Phoenix’s flame? Have I slept for too long?”

The Guardian of Light – the Aurora Giant – Fenir, expressed his surprise at Alpha being able to control the Phoenix’s flame.

“What’s so strange about that? Perhaps it’s the offspring of a Phoenix and an undead creature.” The Eternal Night Emperor was indifferent to this, not caring about such mix-breeding, even if the talents of such consisted might be a tad off.

“Alright, let’s watch the match carefully. The final battle is about to begin.”

Aleta rested her chin on her hand, her lips curved upwards as she observed the remaining three people on the field.

“Hey, hey, hey, it was just a game. Is there a need to be so serious?”

Wang Chuan’s smile remained, but beads of sweat rolling down his forehead betrayed his internal unease.

Although he wanted to gauge the strength of Bai Qi’s pets, his main aim was to help Li Xusheng eliminate opponents. However, judging by Alpha’s reaction, it seemed he might have made a mess of things?

Crackle, crackle.

(Battle, there was never a concept of it being a game.)

“I really screwed up…”

Wang Chuan’s smile gradually disappeared. The Cloud Smoke Jellyfish returned atop Wang Chuan’s head, continuously dropping cloudy mist to shield him.

As expected, the moment he was hidden by the mist, instead of being a dozen metres away from Alpha as before, he suddenly appeared behind him, his right fist shrouded in cloud and lightning striking towards Alpha.

Alpha didn’t turn his body, instead growing an arm to ward off the attack, but upon contact with Wang Chuan, he simply vanished into a cloud of smoke.

Then, Wang Chuan emerged from the ground beneath Alpha’s feet and launched an attack once more.

Moreover, with the spread of the mist, cloud smoke jellyfish and phantoms of Wang Chuan appeared around Alpha. Because of Wang’s Penetration Talent, it was impossible to determine which one was real and which one was a duplicate.

This was Wang Chuan’s most commonly used strategy, masking himself in a cloud smoke to conceal his location, then combining the strategy with his Penetration Talent to attack his enemies.

Unless Alpha managed to take Wang Chuan out in a flash, he could only be sneak-attacked to death.

Alpha’s eyes flickered with demonic, red flame as the Undying Flame Sword in his hand also flared up in a scorching flame. The intense heat turned the surrounding blood vortex into a red mist, evaporating before it could disperse.

In fact, for the Blood Ability, flames were inherently restraining.

The same went for the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish.

As the flame on the Undying Flame Sword grew hotter, the duplicates created by the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish vanished one by one. Wang Chuan gave up on his plan to ambush Alpha, silently increasing the distance between them.

Although he could remain in penetration mode for a long period of time to avoid injuries, he needed to disable this talent if he wanted to attack.

Considering the high temperature of the flames surrounding Alpha, even if Wang Chuan had half the bloodline of a Legendary creature, it was probably more than he could handle.

Moreover, Alpha was still raising the temperature of his flame. It was clear he had no intention of giving the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish a chance to turn the table.

Ultimately, Alpha finished gathering his strength, and the Undying Flame Sword in his hand completely turned into a massive sword of flame. With a gentle swing, it seemingly twisted the surrounding space.

The Undying Flame was originally terrifying due to its high temperature, but Alpha had been restraining its temperature to avoid friendly fire. Now with the Twelve Guardians standing by, he could finally use this skill to its fullest.

“I surrender!”

Staring at the Undying Flame Sword ablaze in Alpha’s hand, Wang Chuan sighed and jumped off the arena without hesitation, clutching the Cloud Smoke Jellyfish that had been roasted down to a tiny cluster by the flames.

What a joke, had he known that the temperature of this guy’s fire could reach such heights, he would never have provoked Alpha.

Although he had also killed fire-based King Ferocious Beasts in the past, this guy still had a sword that hadn’t been mobilized.

The Sword of Death, that was this guy’s real power.

Seeing Wang Chuan surrender, a flash of dissatisfaction flickered in Alpha’s eyes. However, when he saw Li Xusheng with his five blood tails waving, he immediately switched targets.

Alpha VS Li Xusheng.

“Tsk, tsk, tsk, such a powerful pet, do you think Little Xusheng can win?”

Wang Chuan suddenly emerged from the ground, regained his iconic sunny smile, and watched with interest as Alpha and Li Xusheng faced off below.

“You shirked the war, do you think you have time to meddle in others?”

Tan Lang emerged silently behind Wang Chuan, fiercely smashed a punch on his head, and then dragged him back to their place.

Did that just ignore Wang Chuan’s Penetration Talent?

Bai Qi raised an eyebrow, curiously about Tan Lang’s talent, but suddenly remembered something and looked back at the arena.

The primary objective of this trial was to aid Li Xusheng in receiving the blessing of the blood. Now that only Alpha and Li Xusheng were left in the field, the task could be considered finished from a certain perspective.

However, after sensing the surging fighting spirit in Alpha, Bai Qi hesitated for a moment and decided not to let Alpha forfeit the match.

“Cough cough, that, Minister Yi, how about letting Alpha and Li Xusheng have a fight first and then surrender? Isn’t it more realistic?”

Not that he was doubting Li Xusheng’s strength, since the start of the fight, Li Xusheng had single-handedly taken down three King Creatures, even before summoning the fifth King Creature. Now, having merged with five pets, his strength was obvious.

But, Bai Qi still didn’t think Alpha would lose.

“No problem, if you let Alpha fake it, Xusheng might not accept the Blood Blessing.”

Yi Yu shook his head, seemingly unconcerned about the outcome of the fight between Alpha and Li Xusheng.

“Really? What if we win, we won’t be regarded as failing the task, will we?”

Bai Qi looked at Yi Yu dubiously and as soon as he saw him nod, he contacted Alpha immediately.

“Alpha, fight with all you’ve got, forget about the task.”

When Alpha heard Bai Qi’s words, the hand that held the Undying Flame Sword shook slightly before he disappeared from sight.

Li Xusheng likewise reacted, and both made their moves simultaneously. Their Blood Thunder Twin Hammers and Undying Flame Sword collided head-on, causing a storm of thunder and fire on the arena, even affecting some spectators on the lower level.

Then, before everyone could react, the two disappeared again. The only things visible on the entire arena were the scene of the thunder and fire mixed together and the deafening crackling sound.

Roar!

Seeing the two in such an intense fight, the transcendent creatures all got excited, and the Eden Hall was immediately filled with countless roars and shrieks.

Living in the idyllic environment of Eden for many years had made them increasingly complacent, but now the fight between Alpha and Li Xusheng was gradually awakening their long-dormant wildness.

“It seems, this banquet was a good idea.”

Aleta showed a satisfied smile at the sight, and began thinking in her mind about whether she should discuss the issue of team building with the old guys in the association.

Finally, after a dazzlingly fast battle, Alpha and Li Xusheng both reappeared in the center of the match court. Their sword and hammer collided, and the huge wave of impact even tore apart the blood vortex below.

Seeing this, the Eternal Night Blood Emperor straightforwardly removed the vortex covering the arena. The vortex was originally added to increase the difficulty for these people, seeing if they can defeat the enemy while continuously losing blood.

Now, one was Li Xusheng, who had the talent of controlling blood, and the other was Alpha, the skeletal creature that didn’t have blood at all, the existence of the vortex was no longer significant.

Furthermore, he wanted to see if his own bloodline was powerful or this strange skeletal creature was powerful.

After a brief standoff, Alpha and Li Xusheng both backed away.

Despite not using force fields, the previous high-intensity confrontations had been quite exhausting for both.

Alpha looked at the cracks on his arm and then at the slightly panting Li Xusheng. The Fire of Soul in his eyes flickered more and more frequently, and Li Xusheng’s eyes were also full of vigor.

This kind of fight, was what they wanted!

Without any agreement, Alpha grasped all four swords in his hand, while Li Xusheng’s five blood tails of his divine beast quickly wrapped around the twin hammers. The tangible fight intent of both gradually attached to their respective weapons.

It was clear, Alpha and Li Xusheng were preparing to make their last strike with all their might!
