Chapter 650 631: The All-Devouring Horse

Flying was prohibited above ten zhang to prevent flying True Essence Beasts from getting a head start.

The Defense Array required the most effort. A full one hundred and twenty Cultivators were prepared, responsible for channeling True Essence Power to stabilize it.

The Spirit Binding Array was there to prevent the Soul's Power, unleashed by the True Essence Beasts, from affecting the common people.

Although the people were still dissatisfied with the Bai Family, the other four True Essence Beasts were all elites among the Third Transformation. The battle was sure to be absolutely spectacular! For the moment, they suppressed their anger at the Bai Family and roared for the True Essence Beasts they supported. "Kill! Kill! Kill!"

BANG! A firework shot into the sky!

The Sacrificial Battle had officially begun!

Old Horse ambled along slowly, gazing at the fireworks in the sky. 'They're quite beautiful,' he thought. 'Humanity's achievements in this area are something other races couldn't catch up to in ten thousand years.'

Standing on the combat stage, Old Horse was clearly feeling a bit nostalgic. The very air felt different. He was enjoying it.

The people below, however, were furious. 'Damn it, what's with this horse's leisurely attitude! And that blissful look on its face, like a colt at its mother's teat!'

"King Leopard, tear it apart!"

"Double-headed Mountain Demon, crush it!"

"Violate it!"

Someone with some... cross-species proclivities even roared!

A black shadow erupted from the Wood Shadow Jungle King Leopard, instantly splitting into five identical Wood Shadow Leopards! This was the Wood Shadow Jungle Leopard's innate splitting talent, not the King Leopard's King Talent Technique.

The five Wood Shadow Leopards had a clear target: Old Horse.

The Double-headed Mountain Demon, meanwhile, moved to intercept the Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird in the sky. Its Fine Steel Hammer radiated a shocking Sharp Gold Force, as if it could smash anything in its path to pieces with a single blow!

Kun Yaoyang sneered. 'Muhe Xiaoyu's attitude toward Wang Meng is too ambiguous. This move of mine is just a precaution!'

The Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird fixed its cold gaze on the Double-headed Mountain Demon. Propelled by the powerful Ice True Essence Power gathering in its wings, it actually met the Sharp Gold Giant Hammer head-on!

At the same time, the five identical Wood Shadow King Leopards had already pounced, surrounding Old Horse from five directions and sealing off all his escape routes.

"Some Third-Transformation Old Horse? Just die!"

The crowd roared!

The Wood Shadow King Leopards lunged!

Old Horse's mouth split open in what was clearly the arc of a smile.

But the arc quickly widened, growing larger and larger... into a bloody maw!

CRUNCH!

The crisp sound of shattering bone.

Four of the five attacking Wood Shadow Leopards vanished in an instant. The fifth... was caught by the neck, dangling from Old Horse's mouth in mid-air.

Have you ever played the game of "throwing meat buns at a dog"? For the dog, it's the most goddamn blissful game there is!

That was how blissful Old Horse felt right now!

Besides finding a suitable mare to discuss the meaning of life with, what could possibly be more satisfying than a nourishing delicacy delivering itself right to his mouth?

Old Horse was blissful, but Zhe Wulei was scared stiff. He was so frightened he nearly farted out last night's dinner. 'By the gods, this has to be a dream! A dignified Third-Transformation Wood Shadow Jungle King Leopard, caught by the throat and dangling from the mouth of a miserable old horse?'

'Why isn't the King Leopard using its special Magic? This King Leopard is the Zhe Family's guardian True Essence Beast! Its special Magic is an extremely rare King's Domain. By deploying this domain, the King Leopard's power can instantly increase by fifty percent! And its enemy will be weakened in multiple ways—movement speed, sight, smell, and more...'

Unfortunately for Zhe Wulei, this wasn't a dream. It was the cruel reality.

The Zhe Family's guardian True Essence Beast had become a gourmet meal in Old Horse's mouth...

CRUNCH... CRUNCH... Old Horse's mouth was huge—impossibly so, judging by his lips alone. His teeth were as sharp as Divine Weapons. The leopard's hide, capable of defending against the swords and sabers of an Earth Wheel Realm Cultivator, was barely tougher than dried tofu under his teeth...

Before everyone's eyes, a massive King Leopard simply vanished. Not a single bone was left behind!

And Old Horse's stomach... was still as gaunt as ever. It seemed a whole King Leopard was just enough to pick his teeth with...

Carnivorous...

In the plaza, the people waving their hands were all dumbfounded!

Even the clever instigators sent by the Kun Family to stir up the crowd were stupefied!

'Old Horse ate the King Leopard?'

It was as ridiculous as an ant defeating an anteater, or a mouse getting a mother cat pregnant!

Wang Meng wasn't too surprised. He could sense that Old Horse's body urgently needed replenishment, making this battle a necessity for him. Old Horse had become interested the moment he saw the quality of the combatants. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so easily provoked. Even with Wang Meng's own power, he couldn't see through to Old Horse's true depths.

Li Xunhuan, on the other hand, had fainted dead away. Not from fear, but from bliss.

The Sacrificial Battle was a tribute through combat. The more frenzied it was, the more glory it foretold!

Fatty Bai smiled calmly. If he weren't in the public eye and didn't have to maintain his image as the head of the family, he would have fucking leaped ten feet in the air, shouting the slogan, "Believe in the Boss and receive eternal life!"

As for why a miserable old horse could be so savage... Fatty Bai didn't care. He simply didn't bother to think about it.

In the sky, the Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird had just clashed with the Double-headed Mountain Demon. In terms of strength, they were evenly matched, but the Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird was clearly more agile and had a slight advantage.

But...

It realized that not a single person's gaze was on it! All eyes were focused on that old horse!

The Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird was enraged, glaring down at Old Horse! Although it was a bit strange where that Wood Shadow King Leopard had gone, the proud Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird absolutely could not tolerate a being more eye-catching than itself!

BOOM...

Proud Ice Form!

The Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird unleashed its ultimate move!

The sky was completely obscured by a layer of ice flames! A sky-blotting canopy of Ice Cones all aimed at Old Horse!

Old Horse clearly felt the threatening aura. He looked up at the Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird, his temper flaring. 'This great horse wasn't looking for trouble with you, you damn bird, yet you come looking for it!'

Old Horse truly wanted to devour this damned bird in one bite.

However... a faint, lingering ache on his back reminded him of that guy Wang Meng's existence...

But, faced with the provocation of a little bird, Old Horse's temper flared up...

'To hell with being low-key!' he decided. For Old Horse, eating a little leopard was genuinely a low-key act... For a member of an elegant race, the act of eating was too barbaric. In the past, he would have absolutely disdained it.

NEIGH...

Old Horse threw his head back and released his aura!

'What does it mean to be a true badass?'

'It's when, in the eyes of outsiders, nothing seems to have happened, but the enemy has already fallen. Now that's elegance! That's what you call excellence! In human eyes, you're only considered powerful if you kick up dust and stones, blot out the sky, and send chickens and dogs scattering... That's just being a king of destruction! No class at all!'

'I've been low-key for so many years, I should be high-profile for once. Hmm, anyway, if something goes wrong, Wang Meng can take the blame. And if things get really bad, can he run faster than me?'

With his head held high, Old Horse felt he must look incredibly cool right now! His elegant posture was sure to awe the entire audience!

In the eyes of the outsiders, however...

'Damn! What a freak! I've really seen it all now. I've never seen such a miserable, ugly horse be so arrogant. That gaunt belly, those skeletal ribs... This should be an old horse with its head perpetually bowed, just waiting to die. But... it's holding its head high, staring at the sky with a look of cynical indignation. What an unsightly, unnatural scene!'

Although the image of Old Horse instantly devouring a Third-Transformation Wood Shadow Jungle King Leopard was still fresh in their minds, his current posture was just too damn hate-inducing. The people of Wang City couldn't stand by and watch such a freakish horse win the top spot in the Sacrificial Battle!

"Ice Flame Bird! Ice Flame Bird! Ice Flame Bird..."

Their hopes were pinned on the Ice Flame Arrogant Bone Bird, which was already unleashing its power!

(Woke up early this morning to a document crash. Tried all sorts of reboots and system restores then undoing them, but in the end, just reinstalling WPS fixed it. Scared me to death...
