Chapter 458: Chapter 333: A Bloody Victory (Part 1)
Translator: 549690339
At the Seventh Rank Fourth Stage, with six times its vitality, Zhan Ye’s life force was now more than twice as strong as the Seventh Rank Ninth Stage Demon Tree Warrior. Although its defense was somewhat weaker, Chu Mu believed that it shouldn’t be a problem for it to withstand the Ninth Stage Horror Wolf’s attacks.
Zhan Ye was a battle maniac who didn’t care about the strength or weakness of its opponents. Facing the Ninth Stage Horror Wolf, it didn’t need Chu Mu’s command, and the ink-colored battle tiger pounced on the enemy with its terrifying Black Armor Thorns extending out!
The Horror Wolf was now in a Bloodthirsty Berserk State, and it didn’t bother dodging any regular attacks. As Zhan Ye lunged at it, the Horror Wolf allowed the Black Armor Thorns to slash past its skin, as its fierce claws tore mercilessly towards Zhan Ye’s neck, intending to rip Zhan Ye’s head off!
Zhan Ye displayed its Insect Species innate ability at this critical moment. Just as its vital points were about to be attacked, Zhan Ye curled up and completely exposed its undefendable Black Armor Thorns to the outside.
“Hiss!!!!!!!!”
The Black Armor Thorns successfully pierced the Horror Wolf’s thigh.
“Whoosh!!!!!!!!!!!”
However, before the corrosion effect of the Dark Attribute could start to spread, the powerful claw of the Horror Wolf whipped up a mighty force and brutally slammed into Zhan Ye’s body.
The beastly force of the blow spread out like a storm, sweeping across the surrounding area within twenty meters.
“Crack-crack-crack”
Under this beastly force, the ink armor on Zhan Ye’s body was shattered, along with all its Black Armor Thorns snapping off. The violent energy sent Zhan Ye’s body flying dozens of meters away!
Fresh blood scattered across the battlefield due to this chaotic beast force…
One heavy blow! Chu Mu had expected Zhan Ye to withstand at least two of the Horror Wolf’s attacks, but to his surprise, Zhan Ye was heavily injured with just one hit and fell into a state of life weakness. If it encountered any subsequent skills, Zhan Ye would be killed before its Limb Regeneration could take effect!
“Ning, Mo Ye!” Chu Mu hurriedly ordered the Ice-Feathered Spirit and Mo Ye to attack.
“Roar~roar~”
The severely injured Zhan Ye lay on the bloodied ground, its black eyes now dyed red. A violent, bloodthirsty aura began to erupt at this moment, morphing into a malevolent wind that clashed with the chilling gales of the wasteland.
As Zhan Ye let out a bloodthirsty roar, its body secretes an insect fluid that rapidly healed its wounds and formed a new layer of black armor.
And unlike before, the new black armor now had an oppressive blood-red aura enveloping it, making Zhan Ye appear even more ferocious!
“Bloodthirsty Frenzy!!” Seeing the blood-red aura on Zhan Ye, Chu Mu’s face lit up with surprise and delight.
At this critical moment, Zhan Ye had gained a skill much like the Horror Wolf’s, increasing its combat power by 120%, equivalent to the Sixth Stage of the Seventh Rank.
Chu Mu’s Blood Pupil Frenzy effect was now similar to Zhan Ye’s Bloodthirsty Frenzy. However, if Chu Mu were to cast Blood Pupil Frenzy on Zhan Ye, he would not have enough Soul Power to summon other Soul Pets.
Chu Mu was hesitant to use Blood Pupil Frenzy on Zhan Ye, which could increase Zhan Ye’s power by two or three stages, but he didn’t expect Zhan Ye to acquire the skill on its own.
While battling the Horror Wolf, the increased 20% combat power may only allow Zhan Ye to suffer fewer injuries, but against Soul Pets of the same stage, Zhan Ye’s Bloodthirsty Frenzy could be the key to the battle. More importantly, Zhan Ye can eliminate the negative effects of the Bloodthirsty Frenzy through Limb Regeneration – a skill perfectly suited to Zhan Ye!
After regeneration, Zhan Ye’s life force and combat power were fully restored, and with the added effects of Bloodthirsty Frenzy, its strength had increased by 120%!
“Black Armor Thorn!!” Chu Mu knew that the Horror Wolf, in its Bloodthirsty Berserk State, would be in a non-evasive state for now, so he had to make Zhan Ye inflict more damage!
“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Zhan Ye ran faster and lunged, curling itself up mid-air; its razor-sharp Black Armor Thorn lunged at the Horror Wolf’s body.
The Horror Wolf was pursuing Mo Ye, who was casting the Nine-Tailed Illusion. Seeing the spiky creature appear again, its red eyes immediately filled with fury as it unleashed the Evil Swallow Skill, which had heavily wounded the Night Thunder Dream Beast earlier.
Zhan Ye didn’t care what skill the Horror Wolf was using; all it knew was that its Black Armor Thorn must pierce the Horror Wolf’s body!
This time, Zhan Ye successfully injected the power of Dark Corrosion into the Horror Wolf’s body, weakening its defense!
“Rip”
“Creak”
Suddenly, a horrifying sound rang out, as the Evil Swallow’s fierce fangs came down!
Zhan Ye’s flesh was torn, and the terrifying fierce fangs bit into its bones, crushing the lower half of Zhan Ye’s body into pieces!!
Flesh and blood flew everywhere, with severed limbs and bones horrifyingly swaying in the wild wind…
One-third of its body was bitten off – such a horrifying crushing force, and what a gruesome scene!
“Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Zhan Ye could no longer bear the immense pain and howled in fury.
“Mo Ye!” Chu Mu shuddered all over, as if the immense pain was his own, causing his legs below the thigh to spasm.
“Woo woo woo”
Realizing that Zhan Ye’s life was in danger, Mo Ye didn’t dare to hesitate for a moment, using all nine tails to firmly bind the Ninth-Stage Horror Wolf!
Nine-Tailed Hammer!
The power of the nine tails erupted, hurling the Ninth Stage Horror Wolf into the air and viciously smashing it into the ground, creating a huge crater!
Chu Mu didn’t dare to hold back, immediately using Displacement Demon Shadow to quickly appear beside the severely injured Zhan Ye and made Zhan Ye swallow the 500,000 Gold Coins worth of healing potion.
Zhan Ye’s lower part below its buttocks was gone, the gruesome scene of blood and flesh flying around causing Chu Mu great distress, somewhat regretting his recklessness in fighting against this Ninth Stage Horror Wolf.
Regeneration fluid seeped out from Zhan Ye’s broken parts, and this time, Zhan Ye’s regeneration speed was no longer as fast as before, as it had to rebuild its muscles, condense blood and flesh, and cover its skin and armor.
“Mo Ye, Ning, delay for three seconds!” Chu Mu knew that Zhan Ye’s limb regeneration would take at least three seconds this time, and if they couldn’t buy enough time, there would be a life-threatening danger next.
“Woo woo woo
Five Fox Illusions were used once more, this time Mo Ye directly confronting the Horror Wolf. Each time Mo Ye narrowly escaped from the wolf’s deadly claws, it sent shivers down one’s spine.
Mo Ye, worthy of having the most combat experience among soul pets, relied on its strong evasion ability and the Nine-Tailed Fox’s illusionary skills to barely delay the fatal three-second period at the cost of a few medium injuries.
“Roar Roar Roar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
After three seconds, Zhan Ye finally completed its limb regeneration!
“Seventh Rank Eighth Stage!!” When Zhan Ye roared, Chu Mu could feel Zhan Ye’s stage increase. This severe injury actually allowed Zhan Ye to raise by two stages directly!
“Mo Ye, retreat.”
Mo Ye had performed well enough; now it was up to the newly strengthened Zhan Ye!
“Woo woo woo” Mo Ye used Nine-Tailed Illusion to quickly escape from the Horror Wolf’s pursuit. Seeing Chu Mu throw an 8th Level Healing Potion, Mo Ye hurriedly swallowed it to stop the bleeding from its wounds.
“Roar roar roar!!!!!!!!!!”
The battle raged more intensely, and the Ink Armor Thorn, which ignored defense, Zhan Ye’s attack became even more aggressive, with at least two Ink Armor Thorns piercing into the Horror Wolf’s body, and the poison of Dark Erosion corroding the wolf’s skin!
Zhan Ye’s reappearance shocked and enraged the Horror Wolf. This time, the Horror Wolf seemed determined to kill Zhan Ye, completely ignoring Mo Ye and the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s ice and fire attacks, viciously launching itself at Zhan Ye.
Zhan Ye’s strength had risen to the Seventh Rank Eighth Stage, and with its sixfold vitality, although its defense was slightly lower, its ability to resist attacks was far greater than the White Nightmare Demon. Unless the Horror Wolf accumulated strength for more than 2 seconds, it would not be able to kill Zhan Ye instantly.
Chu Mu absolutely would not give the Horror Wolf 2 seconds to accumulate strength. As long as they didn’t make any mistakes and continued to exhaust the Horror Wolf until its Bloodthirsty Berserk State ended, the battle would be over!
“Limb Regeneration!”
Finally, when Zhan Ye went through its sixth limb regeneration, the Horror Wolf had grown visibly weaker. Its violent aura slowly dissipated!
Chu Mu had been waiting for this moment!
“Mo Ye, retreat. Demon Tree Warrior, drain it!” Chu Mu decisively withdrew Mo Ye back into the Soul Pet Space and summoned the Demon Tree Warrior.
There was a reason why Chu Mu didn’t summon the Demon Tree Warrior; it had various skills that could be quite restrictive against Beast type soul pets.
However, the Horror Wolf was extremely fast, and with its sharp claws, the Demon Tree Warrior’s attacks were almost ineffective. Instead, due to the Demon Tree Warrior’s slow speed, it would probably be severely injured by the Horror Wolf not long after being summoned.
Now, the Horror Wolf’s speed had decreased significantly due to the side effects of Bloodthirsty Frenzy and Ning’s exhausted life force, and its defense had also been corroded by Zhan Ye’s Ink Armor Thorns.
At this moment, the Demon Tree Warrior’s multi-skill restrictions could slowly drain the Horror Wolf while also preventing it from escaping.
“Very good, just like that. Don’t be impatient, the Demon Tree Warrior’s killing power is not as strong as Mo Ye’s, but summoning it is very wise at this time as it can steadily drain the increasingly weakened Horror Wolf. Very experienced!” Fox Elder praised.
Many young Soul Pet Masters become impatient when they have the advantage in battle, launching aggressive attacks in a rush to win.
Such crazy attacks might quickly end the battle, but they were also quite dangerous, as any creature could pretend or hold back, and a careless move could deal a devastating blow to a Soul Pet Master.
Chu Mu was indeed quite experienced in this aspect, as he did not lose his cool when victory was within reach, instead choosing the Demon Tree Warrior to fight to the end, ensuring that the creature would not have the chance to escape or counterattack!
