Chapter 85: Lian Xing’s Ancient Species!!! p1
“Whoosh——!!!”
The moment the Red Prison Palace activated, the entire league venue was enveloped in an illusory red light. The sky for ten kilometers around turned crimson, as if a scorching sun had descended.
At this moment, friend or foe, weak 11 or 12-year-old, newborns with no Beast Taming abilities, or powerful Royal-Tier beings like the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King…
All were treated equally.
Sensing the terrifying power of this Red Quality combat skill, even the three Royal-Tier pet beasts present were stunned, let alone the other Commander-Tier pet beasts. The livestream cameras captured the shocked expressions of the renowned Ten Greats, frozen in place, not even daring to breathe.
Meanwhile, the Sea-Dried Bright Moon, hiding inside Tian Quan’s body, was also dumbfounded. Among all its masters, only one had ever possessed a Red Quality combat skill, but they had died in battle against a Monarch-Tier pet beast.
This Moon Rabbit…
Who was she!?
“…”
“…”
“Boom——!!”
Suddenly, a wave of red light pulsed outwards.
The Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s pupils constricted sharply, as if sensing something unthinkable. Within its field of vision, all the surrounding terrain and structures, including the venue and the battle devices, vanished in an instant. It was like reality itself had been erased.
There was no sound, no explosion, just nothingness. Except for the stunned spectators, most of the city’s environment and structures had simply disappeared.
After a brief spatial distortion, the Extreme Cold Detonation’s already damaged body contorted further, its beautiful ice-blue color fading.
“Ugh!!!!”
In the next second, the Extreme Cold Detonation vomited a mouthful of blue blood, half of its elemental energy dissipating.
As the only one affected, sensing this incomprehensible power, its eyes widened in horror.
“Impossible…”
“How could I…die here…!!!”
“I won’t…die…at the hands of an…insect…that hasn’t even reached Commander-Tier!!!”
After struggling for a moment, captured by the livestream camera, the Extreme Cold Detonation turned and fled in a panic.
It could sense death approaching.
Because within this red, illusory palace, the invisible slashes didn’t just target a single life form, but every single molecule of its elemental body!!!
The damage from this single attack was already comparable to the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s relentless barrage with the Red Prison Palace Master’s crimson bombardment for an entire minute!!!
This was the true power of the Red Quality combat skill, Red Prison Palace…
At this moment, although they hadn’t been affected, the little fox and Shuitianliang, the two Royal-Tier pet beasts, were still terrified, their fur standing on end, seeing the Extreme Cold Detonation’s miserable state. Even Bing Zhuyu and Tian Quan trembled uncontrollably.
Undoubtedly, in their previous battle against Moon Rabbit, even without Star Sand, they wouldn’t have been able to withstand this attack.
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing…
She hadn’t even used her full power before!
“Whoosh——!!!!!”
Under everyone’s gaze, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King hadn’t even gotten far before it was yanked back by an illusory golden chain. It turned its head, its expression contorted in anger, and saw a beautiful, golden elemental figure, enveloped in starlight, floating in the sky, a star-shaped chain extending from its body, tethering it like a dog.
It couldn’t break free from Star Sand’s control!!!
Meanwhile, Lian Xing, sitting on the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s shoulder, smiled playfully.
“Struggle a bit more. It’s no fun if it ends too quickly~~~”
“You’re a Royal-Tier pet beast, after all”
“—”
“Aaaaaaaaaaah, Moon Rabbit!!!!!”
“I won’t let you get away with this!!!!!”
“Boom!!!!”
As the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s desperate scream echoed, after ten seconds, the all-encompassing particle slashes activated again, obliterating every molecule of its body, leaving only its life crystal exposed. Within half a second, it desperately gathered its remaining strength, reforming its ice elemental body.
It checked its combat skill panel again. Still greyed out, unusable. A wave of despair washed over the Extreme Cold Detonation.
At this moment, filled with unbearable resentment, it looked at the golden-haired girl and her pet beasts.
First, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, which had learned a bloodline combat skill at the High-Tier stage…
The mutated evolution, the Golden Wheel weapon with a Red Quality combat skill…
And finally, Star Sand, one of the 72 Legends, the culprit behind its inability to use its combat skills, the one that had chained it down.
They were all just High-Tier pet beasts, insects it could have easily crushed with a single thought before.
How had things become like this…?
Moon Rabbit, Lian Xing…
“Bang!!!!”
Facing the fourth Red Prison Palace activation, the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s body exploded. A giant crack appeared on its life crystal, its surface scarred, as if it could crumble into dust at any moment.
“Aaaaaaaaaaah, I don’t want to die here! This isn’t fair! I haven’t even used my Royal-Tier abilities!!!”
“We have no grudge! Why are you attacking me!!”
“Beast Tamer Association! Someone do something! Help me! Anyone! Form a contract with me!!! “
“Wait, Master Moon Rabbit, I was wrong! Spare me! I’ll be your dog!!!” After the third slash, the Extreme Cold Detonation finally despaired.
It knew it had no chance of winning.
Under everyone’s gaze, its life crystal, like a crawling insect, slowly moved across the ground, trying to escape from the golden-haired girl, but its speed was so slow that even with several hours, it couldn’t escape the Red Prison Palace’s range.
At this moment, the entire venue fell silent.
The golden six-tailed fox trembled, Baoyu Shuitianliang’s face pale.
If even they, Royal-Tier pet beasts, were so terrified…
What about the other spectators and participants who were witnessing this scene?
Moon Rabbit Lian Xing…
Was she even human?
A Royal-Tier pet beast, forced to beg for mercy, its dignity shattered, crawling on the ground like a dog…
This scene, this moment of despair…the entire Baiyue Province was in shock.
Under everyone’s gaze, the golden-haired girl put her hands on her hips, her expression cold as she scanned the surrounding area, her voice filled with authority, “All Beast Tamers specializing in Water and Ice, especially those mermaid newborns from Phantom Sea Academy, take one step closer, and you die!!!”
“No one is allowed near her contract range!!!”
“…”
“…”
Under Lian Xing’s threatening gaze, Baoyu Shuitianliang quickly retreated several steps, raising her hands in surrender.
Honestly, Lian Xing was most wary of Shuitianliang, the host, constantly watching her, afraid that she would form a contract with this mutated Extreme Cold Detonation and then backstab her.
It seemed this hybrid wasn’t completely brainless. She wasn’t one of those mermaids who couldn’t resist submitting to a Royal-Tier pet beast.
At this moment, as the fourth slash was about to land, Lian Xing wouldn’t give the dying Extreme Cold Detonation any chance to survive.
Three seconds left, the Extreme Cold Detonation, consumed by the fear of death, screamed desperately, “Aaaaaah, someone form a contract with me! Even if you’re not an Ice specialist, anyone will do! Please save me!!”
“Can you really bear to watch me, such a powerful Royal-Tier pet beast, die here like this?”
“You…villagers…from a 10th-level region…don’t you want to become Royal-Tier Beast Tamers and see the world outside!?”
“You useless trash…are you content to live in the shadow of the strong forever!?”
“This is your only chance to rise above…!!!”
“Bang——!!!”
The Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s desperate plea was cut short.
As the Red Prison Palace’s fourth slash landed, its life crystal shattered into countless shimmering fragments, scattered by the wind.
A Royal-Tier pet beast defeated…
At this moment, the entire league venue, even every corner of Baiyue Province watching the livestream, fell silent.
Only the golden-haired girl’s flowing skirt and her joyful starry eyes remained, etched into the memories of all the viewers.
A High-Tier Beast Tamer, Moon Rabbit Lian Xing, had defeated a Royal-Tier pet beast, two tiers above her!!!
“…”
“…”
“Hmm?”
However, in the next second, before Lian Xing could even relax, her expression turned to shock, her breath catching in her throat. Her starry eyes blinked rapidly as she stared at the spot where the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King had fallen.
There was no doubt.
It was dead…
And her team’s levels had all increased significantly.
But why…
Had the Royal-Tier crystal not dropped!?
At that moment, Lian Xing realized something, her teeth gritting as she glared at the nearby battle rooms.
“Who!!!”
“Who dared to contract that thing!!!”
“…”
“…”
The prize had escaped…
Lian Xing was furious.
She had been wary of the nearby spectators, but she had forgotten about the battle rooms, which were even closer!!
Although she had never killed a human before.
She wouldn’t let this thief get away with this.
However, before Lian Xing could find the culprit, a terrifying wave of ice erupted from the Ice Palace Academy battle room.
“Boom!!!!!”
In the next second, without warning, a bone-chilling, crimson light engulfed the entire venue. A giant, icy tree suddenly emerged from the ruins of the battle rooms, its countless branches spreading out like a canopy of sharp, crystalline leaves.
At this moment, the little fox and Shuitianliang’s eyes widened in horror, but it was too late to intervene.
This was…
A Red Quality combat skill!!!
[—Winter’s Embrace—]
Facing this sudden attack, Star Sand couldn’t activate its Star Order talent to silence the combat skill. Because it couldn’t even locate the target, not even knowing which Beast Tamer had activated the Extreme Cold Detonation · Ice King’s attack.
Moreover, it wasn’t a targeted combat skill.
Star Sand was powerless. And by the time the Red Quality combat skill fully formed, it was too late for Lian Xing to react.
She hadn’t expected that this thief would actually attack her.
“Bang——!!!!!”
In the next second, within a kilometer radius of the icy tree, everything was pierced by countless ice spikes, the air filled with a blizzard of sharp crystals. Just as Lian Xing was about to be impaled, the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, its eyes wide with terror, desperately swung all nine of its ears towards its own body.
“Raging Wind!!!!”
“Boom!!!!!!!!!!!”
With a deafening roar, nine concentrated blasts of wind pierced through the Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer’s own body. Facing the unavoidable attack, it had blown itself away, its frail body like a cannonball, crashing through the city.
Within seconds, the blood-soaked Moon-Embracing Jade Hammer, carrying the golden-haired girl, had carved a deep scar through the city’s buildings, finally collapsing in a forest over ten kilometers away.
Then, it fell limply to the ground.
Lian Xing, a mere human, naturally lost consciousness from the impact.
But at least they had escaped the range of that Red Quality combat skill…
Meanwhile, Star Sand, witnessing this scene from the league venue, powerless to intervene, was furious. Its hands clenched, its entire body radiating light, a wave of star-shaped energy spreading outwards, enveloping the entire venue.
“If I can’t find the culprit…”
“Then I’ll just…destroy everything…!!!”
“Nether Staircase…” Star Sand’s angry words were cut short, its body dimming, the starlight flickering, forced into its pre-return, ethereal state.
What the…?
Lian Xing had fainted!!!
Due to the distance and its master’s unconsciousness, Star Sand’s combat skill was forcibly canceled. A few seconds later, with a look of unwillingness, its consciousness faded, its star-filled body dissipating, returning to Lian Xing.
“…”
“…”
A cold breeze blew, and a deathly silence fell over the venue…
