Chapter 506 The Otherworld Heavenly King Taking Action
Roar!!
The Inferno Dragon growled. The flames were swept out, melting the surrounding ground, and submerging the Inferno Dragon in a world of fire.
A series of undead puppets covered in burning flames rose from that hell. Those puppets were energy bodies, condensed from the dead souls ingested from around the battlefield.
The Inferno Dragon was using a demon skill but there was something else, because all those puppets had been strengthened by the dragon’s flames!
Some of the undead puppets resembled skeletons, monsters, dragons and beasts. At this moment, after struggling to crawl out of the sea of fire, all of them roared and ran towards the four-winged demon.
The demon was surprised to witness how a mere Inferno Dragon had survived its attack, using demon skills to boot!
After the initial stage of astonishment, the four-winged demon quickly reacted and immediately charged forth with a sword.
Snatch!
Strong dark energy gushed out. The four-winged demon was going to summon the undead puppets gathered by that Inferno Dragon, snatching them all to make them its servants.
The Inferno Dragon was showing its paltry skill in front of an expert!
Just as the four-winged demon’s dark energy rushed to those undead puppets, a violent burning sensation was suddenly transmitted along with the demon’s energy, and the dark energy around the demon suddenly shrank.
Astonishment appeared in the demon’s crimson eyes. The flames on the surface of those puppets were actually able to burn its energy?!
What kind of flames was that?!
The skill of the four-winged demon failed. In the meantime, the undead puppets carrying dragon flames had already rushed forward one after another. At the same time, the Inferno Dragon was also preparing another skill. Flames gathered and compressed around the dragon pet. There seemed to be a dragon rising from the flames.
The demon felt angrier as it felt the dangerous aura. It swung its sword towards the dragon flame puppets who were approaching.
Pff, pff, pff!
Many dragon flame puppets were killed and extinguished, but at the same time, the flames on their bodies splashed onto the four-winged demon. The demon tried to put out the flames with its dark energy but failed!
Su Ping was on his way over to help. Suddenly, he felt something; he turned to the other side. The other beast king next to Heavenly King was approaching. That beast king belonged to the plant family, like a towering tree, but its lower body was covered with countless twisted vines that rolled around. Although the beast king’s speed was not too fast, its body was massive, creating a suffocating sense.
Su Ping had to let the Inferno Dragon deal with the four-winged demon on its own, while he took care of the plant beast king.
At the same time, he didn’t forget to monitor the Otherworld Heavenly King that was in the distance.
The Heavenly King stood there quietly, without making any movements, but its whole body was like a flower. The petals were swaying gently as they emitted a foul smell.
Roar!!
All of a sudden, Su Ping heard a roar behind him.
He turned pale. The tiger that he had smashed down at first had woken up. Su Ping didn’t kill it; he had merely knocked the tiger out.
It found Su Ping as soon as the tiger woke up. The wild beast king growled as it ran toward him.
Su Ping was in a gloomy mood but not in a panic, even while facing two beast kings. It would be difficult to feel afraid of getting hurt when using the treasure given to him by the old dragon king.
The two beasts weren’t at the Void State and thus could not harm him.
Come on!
Su Ping ignored the tiger that was approaching from behind and ran toward the plant beast
king.
He didn’t summon another pet. Either the Purple Python or the Void Bug couldn’t be of any help at the moment. The beast kings could kill them instantly!
The Purple Python’s combat strength was at the peak of the ninth-rank, but that was still too weak when compared to a beast king!
Any pet below the beast king level would not stand a chance.
Of course, unless the pet was an expert in defense, like the Dark Dragon Hound. That pet was able to fend off the strikes from beasts of a higher rank, but barely.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Many vines were extended toward Su Ping.
With a flash of lightning, Su Ping split into seven!
The advanced skill of the thunder family!
The difference from the other Thunder Shadowimage skill was that Su Ping didn’t split into two, but seven! Thanks to the many rounds of Heaven’s Test that had refined his astral powers, plus his countless rounds of training, he had managed splitting into seven. He quickly dashed around among the vines. His eyes had turned purple; there were bolts of lightning dancing in his pupils. That was a ninth-rank skill of the thunder family, Eyes of Thunder!
That was a skill that could slow an object down by 10 times!
With the Eyes of Thunder, even a ninth-rank beast would clearly see the movements of a beast king!
V
However, in most cases, even when using that skill, a ninth-rank beast would barely escape from a beast king, because the former could see it but not run from it.
Thunder Sprint!
All seven Su Pings were using the same skill, an enhanced version of the Thunder Sprint that could help them speed up to the extreme. Su Ping dodged the plant beast king’s strikes easily and approached it in an instant. The seven Su Pings swung their fists at once.
With a divine glow on their fists!
Boooom!
Seven Fists of Exorcist smashed at the different parts of the plant beast king. The vines broke and the bark was peeled. A dark green liquid began to seep out.
That plant beast king cried out and seemed about to fall.
Right then, Su Ping sensed something. He stepped back at once.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Countless vines suddenly burst out from the ground, soaring into the sky and forming a net that caged Su Ping inside.
The wounds suffered by the plant beast king were healing quickly.
Hiss!!
The plant beast king screamed in a shrill voice. The vines that surrounded Su Ping began to grow out some sharp spikes!
Even a mosquito could be killed in there!
Boom!
All the dark spears suddenly protruded, filling up the space inside the entire prison net.
Bang, bang, bang, bang!
The stings and spears suddenly broke; Su Ping’s body was covered with golden light, preventing him from being injured.
That was threatening but not dangerous, but Su Ping was still filled with dread. He was still too weak when compared to a beast king. Even though the plant beast king was not at the Void State, it had to be one of the most powerful beast kings at the Ocean State!
I am at the seventh-rank at the end of the day. If I were at the titled rank, I might be able to fight the beast king head-on! Su Ping felt sorry for his weakness. Not even the Fist of Exorcist was enough to kill the beast king of the plant family; it was quite tenacious!
Su Ping felt tired but that was not the time for him to give in to his frustration!
If one punch wasn’t enough, then ten times, a hundred times!
“Break!!” Su Ping shouted. Astral powers burst out from him. He punched the net into pieces and broke free. He made another charge at the beast king while standing on bolts of lightning!
The plant beast king was stunned to see that he was able to break free from that skill.
The beast king growled. The ground suddenly began to give in. Su Ping felt that a strong force was pulling him to the ground.
Gravity Field! That was a skill exclusive to beast kings of the plant family. It was clear that this one had managed to learn it.
Su Ping was able to tell that he would be slowed down, even with Thunder Sprint.
It was as if he were carrying a mountain on his back.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
The plant beast king’s vines thrashed him.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Su Ping was unable to dodge as the vines beat him. The golden light on the surface of his body fended off all those vines, but he was being smashed away. Roar!
The tiger had reached Su Ping. It opened its mouth and gripped him with its teeth!
The dark flames inside that mouth were enough to exterminate Su Ping! Roar!!
The Inferno Dragon happened to witness all that, and flew into a thundering rage. The flames soared to the sky. The dragon pet turned around and ran toward the tiger.
Bzzz!
A beam of light landed to its side. The four-winged demon had caught up with the Inferno Dragon.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
As the Inferno Dragon received slashes several times, the golden glow on its scales began to fade away. Regardless of the wounds, the Inferno Dragon was still running toward the tiger. The tiger was a bit intimidated by the raging Inferno Dragon. The tiger wanted to step back but stopped upon remembering that it was also a beast king. The Inferno Dragon was rare but still, it was just a dragon with a ninth-rank bloodline.
Compared to beast kings, ninth-rank creatures were not worth mentioning. They were sorry little things.
Why would I be scared of a thing that merely had a ninth-rank bloodline?
The tiger was angry for having been scared for a moment. It dashed toward the Inferno Dragon.
While the tiger was approaching the Inferno Dragon, suddenly, it fell to the ground. There was some muffled sound inside him; it was abruptly blasted into several pieces!
Whoosh!
Su Ping flew up, drenched in blood and flesh.
Standing on the outer wall, Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong had sunk into another round of despair. As Su Ping broke free, all the people who were on the outer wall were standing with their mouths agape. No one could have expected to see a person coming back out alive from the jaws of a beast king!
The tiger was very much dead this time!
Su Ping wiped off the flesh and blood on his face; the blood had turned the world red. He stared and ran towards the plant beast king.
The Inferno Dragon slowed down when it saw Su Ping coming out, clearly surprised. The four-winged demon took that chance and approached the dragon to land some hacks on its neck. The dragon fell to the ground but soon stood up again.
Roar!!
The Inferno Dragon suddenly turned around and glared at the four-winged demon.
The flames were dancing around the dragon as it punched the demon.
On the outer wall.
“Charge!!”
The fact that Su Ping survived lifted Mu Beihai from hell and back to heaven. Overjoyed, he couldn’t help but shout at the sky!
Standing next to him, Liu Tianzong once again mobilized his astral powers and madly charged toward the wild beasts.
Charge!!
The warriors’ spirits were lifted. Their battle against the wild beasts had become even more intense.
In the meantime, Su Ping was having a hard time dealing with the plant beast king. The beast king was unable to hurt him, yet he couldn’t kill it either, being simply too large. If Su Ping were at the third level of the Fist of Exorcist, he might have a chance.
But he was merely at the first level, not even at the entry of the second level yet.
Die! Die!
Su Ping punched out like crazy.
The more he punched, the more he was disappointed about himself.
That is, in regards to his astral powers, physical strength, and his fist.
He had to be faster!
He had to be stronger! Su Ping no longer shouted; he directed that energy into his fist.
Boom!!
He punched. A massive hole appeared on the plant’s stem. Sap gushed out. Before Su Ping could do it again, the beast king’s vines had covered up the wound, preventing him from following up.
Su Ping was unwilling to give up but he was exhausted; he took out a potion from his storage space. All the warriors had some potions like that one, and he asked for some as well, in case his astral powers were used up during battle. He had made the right choice. However, the potion that could fill up a titled battle pet warrior’s astral powers only restored his astral powers halfway.
He had to take another one. Once his astral powers were restored, his spirit had also recovered.
Roar!
Right then, he heard a roar that came from the Inferno Dragon.
Su Ping fearfully turned around.
He saw that the Inferno Dragon had bitten off the head of the four-winged demon!
The demon had also lost a wing!
The Inferno Dragon won!
Su Ping was surprised to see that the Inferno Dragon was more outstanding than he had expected.
The four-winged demon was weaker than the plant beast king, but it was at the Ocean State; it was indeed more powerful than the Inferno Dragon, but the latter had slaughtered the former!
Su Ping saw that the Inferno Dragon was covered in wounds; fortunately, the wounds were not serious. Unlike the Dark Dragon Hound, the Inferno Dragon was not a defense expert, but its scales had grown tough. The scales allowed his dragon to withstand most ninth-rank skills.
Su Ping called the Inferno Dragon over. Team work would finish the plant beast king.
The Inferno Dragon tore apart the corpse of the four-winged demon, stomped on it, and ran toward Su Ping
The wild beasts made way for the dragon pet.
The Inferno Dragon was horrifying to begin with, and it was drenched in demon’s blood at the moment. It looked like a dragon that had emerged from hell!
Su Ping noticed something when the Inferno Dragon was running toward him. He moved awa using a flash of lightning.
Bang!
A beam of dark red light penetrated the spot where he was standing.
There was a bottomless pit there!
Su Ping was startled; he raised his head. It was the Otherworld Heavenly King in the distance. At that moment, the petals around the Heavenly King were suddenly stretched out. An enormous eye was opened on the stamen found inside.
That eye was several meters in diameter with a blood-red color. Completely void of emotions, that eye looked down on the battleground.
Su Ping was able to tell the eye was gazing at him.
The Otherworld Heavenly King had been inactive all this time. Was it going to take action then?
Su Ping looked at the bottomless pit on the ground. He turned around. The warriors, including Mu Beihai and Liu Tianzong, were fighting the wild beasts at close quarters.
He saw wild beasts and battle pet warriors dying at every second.
