Chapter 113 - 110: The Fall of Lei Kai, A Chance Encounter with Miao Wenlun
Chapter 113: Chapter 110: The Fall of Lei Kai, A Chance Encounter with Miao Wenlun
Of course, Yu Changsheng had no idea what was going through Lei Kai’s mind. If he had, he probably would have burst out laughing.
A chance?
The moment Lei Kai failed to recognize his true strength, he had already lost his chance.
Yu Changsheng shook his head. Standing to the side, he commanded the Red Refining Snake, "Your Poisonous Fire and poison mist attacks aren’t working. Use your powerful body to overwhelm it!"
The Red Refining Snake reacted instantly, changing its tactics. Its tail cracked like a whip, lashing violently at its opponent.
A fully grown Red Refining Snake was far stronger physically than a Silver Howling Wolf. If that thick, powerful tail connected, it would break several bones at the very least and send its victim spitting up mouthfuls of blood.
Seeing the Red Refining Snake abandon its Poisonous Fire attack and charge in for close combat, the Silver Howling Wolf’s pupils contracted. It unleashed a sonic blast as it scrambled backward.
Ice and snow swirled across the battlefield. The serpent’s tail slammed against the glacier. BOOM! Fissures spread for hundreds of meters.
The Silver Howling Wolf was gradually tiring. Using its sonic waves repeatedly had consumed a great deal of its Demon Power, yet the Red Refining Snake remained full of energy. The wolf couldn’t help but curse inwardly.
’You damn snake, just how much of a beating can you take?’
"Looks like all those beatings the Red Refining Snake took from the Colorful Star Deer weren’t for nothing," Yu Changsheng murmured, his eyes narrowed in observation, a faint smile playing on his lips.
He was blissfully unaware of the grievances the Red Refining Snake had once suffered.
Meanwhile, in the battle between the Golden-Winged Eagle and the Wind and Cloud Goose, though both were avian beasts, the Golden-Winged Eagle held a clear advantage in both speed and elemental attributes.
SWOOSH—!
A fierce Wind and Cloud Slash came whistling toward the Golden-Winged Eagle. An instant later, the eagle carved a perfect arc through the air, dodging the Wind and Cloud Goose’s Wing Slash. Then, it flew straight into the goose’s oncoming assault.
The Wind and Cloud Goose remained unfazed. A vicious gleam flashed in its eyes as its sharp, silver-lit talons lunged for the approaching Golden-Winged Eagle’s head.
Just as they were about to collide—in the very next instant!
The Golden-Winged Eagle’s body flashed with light. In the blink of an eye, its tail transformed into a massive fishtail and whipped toward the Wind and Cloud Goose!
The vicious strike tore through the air with a piercing shriek. The Wind and Cloud Goose, terrified and unable to dodge in time, could only shield itself with its wings!
THUD!
It was a sickening, muffled sound.
The Wind and Cloud Goose let out a piteous cry as its body was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string, crashing onto the glacier and skidding for several hundred meters.
Its energy instantly waned. Blood gushed from its wings, dripping onto the ice in vivid crimson droplets.
The attacks of the Golden-Winged Eagle’s fish form were incredibly heavy—far more than the Wind and Cloud Goose’s frail frame could endure.
"Wind and Cloud Goose!"
Seeing this, Lei Kai cried out in alarm. He immediately cast a spell, attacking the Golden-Winged Eagle as it moved to pursue the Wind and Cloud Goose.
"Get lost!" With a furious roar, Lei Kai’s spell forced the Golden-Winged Eagle back. His gaze then locked onto Yu Changsheng, burning with hatred.
"It’s not over!"
Lei Kai’s rage finally boiled over. He roared, "I didn’t want to use this move! You forced my hand!"
"Essence Blood Sacrifice Beast!"
As the words left his mouth, he slammed his fist against his chest twice. A mouthful of his heart’s blood sprayed forth, transforming into countless rays of red light that shot toward the battling Silver Howling Wolf.
In the next instant, a red glow enveloped the Silver Howling Wolf. Its eyes turned blood-red, its fur bristled, and the muscles in its legs bulged. Its body swelled by a full size as a terrifying aura began to build around it.
"AWOOO!" The Silver Howling Wolf slammed its front paws down and let out a piercing howl. A terrifying sonic wave blasted across the glacier.
The Silver Howling Wolf shot forward like an arrow, hurtling toward the Red Refining Snake. It moved so fast that it left a trail of afterimages in its wake.
Yu Changsheng’s gaze sharpened. He was surprised but showed no sign of panic. He simply flicked a glance toward the Colorful Star Deer, who was standing by to control the field.
No communication was needed; the Colorful Star Deer instantly knew what to do.
It snorted in disdain. A forehoof moved slightly, tapping gently on the glacier. There was no earth-shattering explosion, only a crisp, clear ringing sound as an invisible ripple swept toward the Silver Howling Wolf.
’My dumb snake isn’t something just any riffraff can bully!’
Soul Stepping!
With the Colorful Star Deer’s current power, even a Sword Cultivator at the Qi Refining Peak wouldn’t dare to face its Soul Stepping head-on, let alone a mere Silver Howling Wolf. Even empowered by the Essence Blood Sacrifice Beast Technique, the result would be the same!
YELP!
In that instant, the charging Silver Howling Wolf faltered. Its body convulsed violently, and it stumbled, its massive frame crashing sideways. It had lost control!
Just as the Silver Howling Wolf’s energy fell into chaos and its soul suffered a devastating blow...
...the Red Refining Snake, no herbivore itself, seized the opportunity. Strike while the enemy is down!
Seizing the perfect moment, a Spiritual Light flashed in the Red Refining Snake’s eyes. It lunged, opening its cavernous maw. Its Poisonous Fangs gleamed with a terrifying cold light as it sank them deep into the Silver Howling Wolf.
RRRIP!
The sound of tearing flesh and bone filled the air. The Silver Howling Wolf wailed incessantly, but it was futile. Venom flooded its body, spreading rapidly. Within moments, its cries grew fainter and fainter.
As the Red Refining Snake coiled its body, constricting its prey, the light in the Silver Howling Wolf’s eyes dimmed, turning from clear to cloudy, until finally, all brilliance was extinguished.
"Pfft!"
Lei Kai spat out a mouthful of blood, his own energy instantly plummeting. The backlash from his Spirit Pet’s death washed over him like a tidal wave.
"How could this be... Silver Howling Wolf!"
Lei Kai stared in disbelief, his eyes practically splitting from rage and grief.
With the death of the Silver Howling Wolf—the target of his Essence Blood Sacrifice Beast technique—he, too, would have to pay a heavy price.
