Chapter 138: Chapter 114: Shadow Strikes
The Blood Saint has fled, the Demon God has slipped away, leaving only the Black Water Giant Snake.
It’s not that it doesn’t want to flee, but the Black Water Giant Snake can’t move.
It has successfully found that drop of flood dragon blood in the Blood Pool and is refining it; its bloodline is undergoing further transformation.
At this stage, it is unable to move; any movement would lead to failure.
An adult Sea-covering Flood Dragon is generally a Tier Eight Exotic Beast, possessing a True Dragon Bloodline; even a young Sea-covering Flood Dragon has Tier Six power.
That drop of flood dragon blood is the essence of blood from a young Sea-covering Flood Dragon, extracted and concentrated from the Blood Pool.
"Teacher, this Black Water Giant Snake is transforming; don’t give it the chance to succeed."
"Otherwise, it will transform into a Black Water Giant Flood Dragon in a very short time."
"This creature is the Blood Saint’s pet beast."
Ye Bai shouted loudly to everyone.
Combining the words said by the Demon God Dan Kalabi earlier, everyone quickly believed Ye Bai’s statement.
This is the best opportunity to eliminate the Black Water Giant Snake, and also the best chance to turn the Hundred Dragon Slash into the Thousand Dragon Slash.
The Black Water Giant Snake’s body is larger than a Titan Python; who knows how many years it has lived.
The crowd noticed that the Black Water Giant Snake’s scales began to fall off, drifting like snowflakes.
A bump appeared on its head, clearly indicating that the Black Water Giant Snake has begun its transformation.
"Not good, Gray Poison Moth, use Poison Powder."
"Ye Bai, you go help others for now; leave this to me."
Zhang Lingxue appeared like a heroic female general at this moment.
"Teacher, take this."
Ye Bai placed the Dragon-slaying Sword and the Dragon-Suppressing Stone into Zhang Lingxue’s hands.
"These two treasures greatly restrain exotic beasts of the flood dragon type."
"The Black Water Giant Snake hasn’t advanced to flood dragon yet, so its weakness should still be at the seven-inch point."
Ye Bai knew his limitations; tackling Tier Five exotic beasts is undoubtedly a task for his teacher.
With his teacher, Ye Bai felt like he had a solid backing.
"Alright, leave it to me and find a place to hide."
Zhang Lingxue took the heavy Dragon-Suppressing Stone and Dragon-slaying Sword.
She looked sharply at the colossal creature.
The Gray Poison Moth, Blood Gu Butterfly, and Light Goddess Butterfly appeared simultaneously.
Both the Gray Poison Moth and Light Goddess Butterfly had reached Tier Five, and the Blood Gu Butterfly was at the peak of Tier Four.
President Wang saw this scene and nudged President Zhang’s waist: "Your junior sister is quite impressive!!!"
"Her research is so strong, and so is her Pet Beast Master’s power."
"She’s much more powerful than us; is there anything she can’t do?"
President Zhang nodded: "Her talent has been delayed by her research, otherwise she would’ve reached Tier Six long ago."
"Her spiritual power is abundant; you should quickly go to rescue the students and stop chatting."
"The people from the Resurrection Association have quite a few Tier Four strong individuals; not a single student can be lost."
"It would cause a terrifying disaster with widespread social distress."
In the cell.
At this moment, the Sunflower King had formed a Sunflower Wall, protecting the students heavily.
The Tier Two Sunflower had already cleaned the bloodstains off the classmates.
Meanwhile, its petals emitted a rich fragrance to ease the students’ fears.
Zhang Yiyi and Li Chen sat together, Zhang Yiyi still trembling in fear.
"Li Chen, I was really scared to death just now; I thought I almost wouldn’t make it back."
"But you and Ye Bai have some skills."
"Tied to such a high pillar and not scared at all; if it were me, I’d have fainted long ago."
"If it weren’t for you two, I probably would’ve been sacrificed right away."
Even now, Zhang Yiyi’s hands and feet were cold, her body trembling.
Meng Jia was also very grateful to Ye Bai; she thought she was going to die just now.
But somehow, the Blood Saint angered the Demon God, letting her escape by chance.
Many classmates who had bled from the seven orifices due to the Demon God’s pressure were given honey by the Sunflower and sent to a safe place, where the Pet Beast Union’s people would treat them.
At this time, a huge carnivorous flower appeared.
"Found you."
An old woman walked over slowly with a cane: "I am Granny Liu."
"My pet beast is this huge carnivorous flower."
"Little flower, hand over the humans behind you obediently."
"They are destined as offerings for the Saint; otherwise, don’t blame me for being impolite."
"You are no match for my carnivorous flower."
The carnivorous flower opened its massive mouth, revealing a Dark Night Blood Bat it had just caught.
The mouth closed heavily, and the Dark Night Blood Bat was instantly crushed into paste, with crunching sounds coming from the carnivorous flower’s mouth.
The Sunflower King had experienced many storms and wasn’t afraid of Granny Liu’s threats.
It was no clueless little Karami; it had absorbed the bodies of many Tier Four exotic beasts.
The Sunflower King pulled out two sharp Slaughter Sabers and twirled them with its sharp stem.
The air was pierced with whooshing sounds, silver light flickering.
Granny Liu’s eyes glimmered with a strange light, her wrinkled hand gripping the cane tightly: "Very well, it’s been a long time since anyone dared to challenge me."
"Go, Man-Eating Flower, don’t hold back."
The Man-Eating Flower manipulated its vines, opening its massive mouth, within which adhered a highly corrosive liquid.
The mouth opened and closed, emitting a crunching sound.
A sudden flash of a blade came, and the Man-Eating Flower’s two heads instantly fell to the ground.
Green sap flowed from the severed parts, emitting a pungent smell.
Every vine branch of the Man-Eating Flower had a large head, and from where the previous ones were severed, two new heads grew back rapidly.
"Vine attack."
Countless vines split from the Man-Eating Flower’s body, snaking towards the Sunflower King’s location like serpents.
The Sunflower King swung the sharp blade in its hand, only the sound of swooshing could be heard.
The vines fell like rain, crashing onto the floor of the cell, wetting the ground.
Just because there were too many vines from the Man-Eating Flower, the Sunflower King gradually fell into a disadvantage.
One careless move, the Sunflower King was wrapped by the vines, forcefully dragged to a place not far from the Man-Eating Flower, its Slaughter Saber falling to the ground.
"Haha, this is the fate of those who stand in my way, Man-Eating Flower, tear it apart."
Only to see the Man-Eating Flower tensed up, pulling hard at the Sunflower King.
With the first pull ineffective, it took a deep breath and pulled again, still to no avail.
On the contrary, the roots of the Sunflower King unknowingly pierced into the Man-Eating Flower’s body.
Only to see the Sunflower King sneer disdainfully, and in an instant, the Man-Eating Flower turned to ashes.
The Sunflower King fell to the ground with a thud, retrieved the Tier Three Wood Element crystal core, and the two Slaughter Sabers that had fallen on the ground.
"How could this be."
Granny Liu’s eyes showed a horrified expression, her main pet beast, how could it be so easily defeated by this little creature.
Blood spurted from Granny Liu’s mouth, a backlash from the Pet Beast Contract shattering.
Her momentum instantly waned, no longer possessing the aloof and calm demeanor of a cat playing with a mouse.
The roles of hunter and prey were instantly reversed at this moment.
Just as Granny Liu intended to run away, she was impaled through the heart by the Sunflower King, blood seeping from her mouth, her throat made a gurgling sound, her hands drooped, and she collapsed to the ground, lifeless.
After she died, the contents of the Pet Beast Space burst forth.
Guided by its own instincts, the Sunflower King retrieved a mirror fragment, swaggering towards the Sunflower Wall.
In the tunnel.
As Ye Bai stepped into the corridor, he suddenly plunged into complete darkness, followed by mocking laughter ringing in his ears.
"I never expected the Blood Saint to be so foolish, to be toyed with in the palm of your hand."
"You have earned the ire of the Blood Saint."
Ye Bai, with his hands behind his back, remained very calm.
"Shadow?"
Ye Bai probed cautiously.
"That’s right, it’s me."
"You have ruined my plans."
"Originally, I intended to replicate the magic circle to summon the Demon God from the Blood Saint using a shadow."
"Yet the summoning ritual has been ruined by you."
"You truly deserve to die!"
The Shadow said coldly and ruthlessly.
Its voice came from all directions, seemingly not wanting Ye Bai to ascertain its location.
Ye Bai could sense the malice hidden within the Shadow.
"Within this barrier of mine, a Tier Three ultimate move is hidden, with weapons formed from shadows, enough to slay you here."
"Your pet beast cannot break through from the Pet Beast Space to protect you."
"In your next lifetime, remember not to be too clever, for cleverness can outsmart itself."
"Shadow Burst Kill."
Ye Bai saw the surrounding shadows begin forming knives, axes, swords, and halberds, fiercely stabbing from all sides toward him.
He smiled, closed his eyes, only to hear the clanging sounds.
The weapons formed by the shadow shattered instantaneously, only then did the Shadow notice the silver sheen flickering on Ye Bai’s body.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible."
"How can you, a Tier Two Pet Beast Master, evade the guaranteed kill of a Tier Three pet beast?"
The Shadow’s voice seemed somewhat panicked, feeling that everything was out of its control.
"It seems you have quite a lot of secrets on you."
Ye Bai chuckled, having pinpointed the Shadow’s current location.
"Go, Big Gray, unleash Thunder Claw forward!"
Ye Bai drew out the Beast Card from his chest, summoning Big Gray.
How could the Shadow know that his steel armor originates from the Ten Thousand Changes Silkworm, Ye Bai had tested it, even the strongest blow of the Sunflower King Vine Whip of Tier Three couldn’t break the Steel Armor.
And how could the most powerful strike released by the Shadow break through the Steel Armor’s defense?
Big Gray, covered entirely in thunder, roared deafeningly.
Bearing witness as it stomped heavily in the direction of the Shadow, blue lightning pierced through the darkness of the Shadow Space.
With a notable thud, accompanied by the Shadow’s pitiful wailing, countless arcs of electricity erupted violently through the Shadow Space, the crackling noise echoed, and the Shadow Space shattered like an eggshell, revealing the original tunnel.
The radiance of the thunder illuminated the dim tunnel
