Astral Pet Store Chapter 557

Chapter 557 - Multiple Strikes

The miserable death of that old titled battle pet warrior astonished both the Situ family and the Wang family.

Instant kill? But that old man was at the upper tier of the titled rank!

He didn’t summon his battle pets. But no one believed that a man like that would need a battle pet to fight against a little girl! “Be careful. She is… at the titled rank!” an elder of the Wang family warned the others, frightened.

That warning silenced all of them.

Tang Ruyan was at the titled rank?!

Tang Ruyu stared at her sister in disbelief.

She is at the titled rank?

Since when!

Tang Ruyu was sure she had always cultivated faster than her loser sister and that was why she had been secretly groomed to be the future family head!

And yet, she was merely at the eighth rank.

Even so, she was beheld as one of the Tang family’s rarest talents.

Tang Ruyu remembered Tang Ruyan had merely been at the seventh rank. When did she reach the titled rank?!

The other Tang family elders looked at each other in speechless astonishment.

The girl they had agreed upon to banish had returned at that critical time; she was fighting for the Tang family and was at the titled rank.

The elders used to believe they knew everything about Tang Ruyan. A titled battle pet warrior at the age of 23. She could leave a mark in the history of the Subcontinent District!

She was a genius!

The family heads of the Situ family and the Wang family had also noticed that. They were sure that Tang Ruyan was at the intermediate position of the titled rank!

It was strange.

They worked up a theory. Maybe, that decoy was the actual future family head and that girl on the ground was the actual decoy. A lie within a lie within a lie!

If that theory were true, then the rumors about Tang Ruyan were probably untrue. Or maybe, the Tang family had released such information on purpose!

That legendary battle pet warrior probably didn’t kidnap Tang Ruyan. It was possible that the Tang family approached that legendary battle pet warrior and asked him to teach their future family head!

The two family heads were increasingly convinced of that theory.

If the Tang family was willing, they could afford the money and resources to ask a legendary battle pet warrior to teach their future family head.

It seemed that the legendary battle pet warrior had to be seriously teaching her, instead of fooling her.

After all, their previous intel described Tang Ruyan as one at the seventh rank; still, she had reached the titled rank in such a short time. How sudden.

“I wonder if that legendary battle pet warrior is here.”

The family heads of the Situ and Wang families could see the fear in each other’s eyes. They found it hard to believe that the legendary battle pet warrior wouldn’t be there. Why else would Tang Ruyan show up?

The Tang family had gone through so many troubles to keep her identity hidden, and to make sure that she would be neglected. Coming out alone wasn’t courageous. It was downright rash.

The Tang family would not allow a rash person to become their future family head.

The Wang family head passed a look in his eyes to the Situ family head; it was a look that only the latter would understand. The latter nodded ever so slightly, so that no one else would notice. He secretly placed one hand behind his back and a message was sent…

When he placed his hand down, the Situ family head inwardly breathed in relief. Glaring coldly at Tang Ruyan, he said, “Since you’ve come out of your free will, I will make you stay here forever!”

“Charge!”

As soon as the word came out from his mouth, several titled battle pet warriors stepped out together.

Those titled battle pet warriors were all at the upper position.

Tang Ruyan’s stunning performance had shocked many and some titled battle pet warriors failed to see how she had done it.

That being said… she was still at the titled rank!

On the other hand, the Situ family and the Wang family had dozens of titled battle pet warriors. Not even Venerable the Blade would be able to get away from such a strike, not to mention Tang Ruyan who was merely at the intermediate position of the titled rank!

The four titled battle pet warriors that stepped toward Tang Ruyan glared at her. This time, they summoned their battle pets from the start.

The ground shook as the battle pets landed.

The four elders of the enemy families were moving toward Tang Ruyan, which enraged the people of her family.

It was true that they still thought she had been able to kill that old man because of the element of surprise. After noticing Tang Ruyan’s rank, those of the Tang family thought they could finally see hope.

If Tang Ruyan was able to escape, she could later find the young members of the Tang family who were hiding in different places. The Tang family would not die. There would still be a future for the Tang family!

“How shameless! You’re targeting a kid!” “Four against one! Bah! Have you no shame?”

“So, this is what the elders of the Situ family are like!”

The Tang family’s titled battle pet warriors swore and cursed. That was the only thing they could do considering that they couldn’t move at all.

The four elders were unhappy because of the verbal abuse. Angry as they were, they didn’t dally and chose to ignore them for the moment. They merely promised themselves that once they dealt with Tang Ruyan, they would make things so miserable for those guys that they would wish they were dead!

“Charge!” one of the elders shouted.

Bang, bang!

Their battle pets stomped on the ground and dashed forward.

Roar!

Running at the front was a dragon that had a roar that could deafen people.

Two battle pets of the element family were casting a spell on the dragon to make it almost weightless. The flames were burning intensely around the dragon.

The dragon opened its mouth and breathed out a column of fire. The high temperature turned the place into a lava land; the trees that were thousands of meters away were burning up.

The battle pet warriors hurried to put up their shields to protect themselves against the high temperature. The heat would scorch them to death if they didn’t.

“Ruyan!”

Tang Linzhan struggled to stand up.

Tang Ruyan was the last bit of hope the Tang family had. He could not see her die.

It shamed him to see she had returned at such a critical time when the Tang family had abandoned her.

The column of fire was about to reach her, but then it split into two in front of Tang Ruyan the next second.

The split fire burned through the Tang family members standing on the sides. All the advanced battle pet warriors touched by the flames died without any exceptions.

“What?”

The titled battle pet warriors could not believe that Tang Ruyan had been able to survive. That was the dragon’s signature move, not to mention that two battle pets of the ninth rank had helped. How did she survive it?

Soon, people realized that it wasn’t Tang Ruyan who defeated the strike, but… the white skeleton!

Before anyone had noticed, that insignificant skeleton had stood in front of Tang Ruyan.

What was even more stunning was that the white skeleton had not done anything other than stand there, and yet the column of fire had been split into two!

What is that skeleton?!

The three families shared the astonishment. Tang Ruyan, too, didn’t expect that the Little Skeleton would stand up so quickly. She was ready to fight that column of fire by herself. She could tell that the column of flame would not hurt her because she had ascertained its weakness.

Of course, she had saved some strength since the Little Skeleton had stepped up.

“Die!”

Tang Ruyan uttered a word. A coldness was spreading within her that cleared her mind. She dashed toward the flames.

The sword she held was like Death’s scythe!

Pff!

There was a dark, arched blur in the air.

The flames were cut off. A ray of black sword light smashed into the dragon’s chest.

The flames around the dragon went away and blood came out. In pain, the dragon cried. It stepped back. The wound on its chest was so deep that the bones were visible.

Once again, people were able to see Tang Ruyan. She was standing on the wailing dragon.

“She’s so fast!”

“I cannot believe it…”

“Was that Shadow Tracing?”

The people of the Situ family and the Wang family were frightened by that speed and strength.

The shock was not exclusive to the two families. The Tang family members recognized the Shadow Tracing, one of the three most famous skills of the family!

The shocking thing was that she was moving much faster than they ever could with the skill! “The Shadow Reacher!”

Tang Linzhan thought this was beyond his understanding

He was quickly able to tell that Tang Ruyan had reached the peak of Shadow Tracing. She would be as fast as a shadow! But shadows didn’t move on their own. The name was just an indication that she was as fast as light!

Of course, that was just a saying, an exaggeration. Still, the analogy could show how fast was the speed achieved!

Tang Linzhan himself had only mastered the skill when he was at the peak of the titled rank. That was ten years before, and he had been in his thirties at the time.

But…

Tang Ruyan is barely 23 and she has already reached the peak?

While Tang Linzhan was still in shock, Tang Ruyan had made another move.

Her target wasn’t the dragon under her feet, but the four titled battle pet warriors of the Situ family.

“Blood. Killing!”

Redness came into her eyes. She did not notice herself but the killing intent coming off from her was stunning. She was like a demon that had emerged from hell!

She stepped on the air, then she gathered her energy on her sword and swung at the four titled battle pet warriors when she was about a hundred meters away from them.

The Sword of Blood!

Bang!

The world died down because of that sword!

Demons were crying. The only thing people could see was that ray of light of a bloody color. The light came off from the sword; it was so glaring and so red that it was as if someone had used tons of blood to generate the light. The foul smell made even the most experienced fighters want to puke. “I don’t believe this!”

One of the four titled battle pet warriors unleashed his full strength and resorted to a secret skill, Double Fist!

He punched at the sword.

There were four noises in a row. The four titled battle pet warriors of the Situ family came to an abrupt stop, and they fell to pieces in less than two seconds.

It was as if time bombs buried in them had gone off at once. They were reduced to pieces of flesh.

No one was able to utter a single word.

One move and four titled battle pet warriors perished?!

The Situ family head could not convince himself that he had witnessed a brutal slaughter.

The Wang family head was just as overwhelmed by disbelief. That was beyond logic!

She could have only done that if she were at the peak of the titled rank!

How could a girl of the Tang family do this?!

Not even Tang Linzhan could do this!

“Wait a minute. What about the bell? Has the effect expired?”

Someone finally noticed that.

That was a severe warning.

The Tang family elders and Tang Linzhan were still unable to stand up. So, the bell’s effect was still active.

So, this girl was still able to unleash this power when she was under the influence of the bell?!

People gasped. How terrifying!

The Wang family head was the first to bring his senses back online. “Who are you really?”

CI

He could not believe that the girl would be able to do this, even if she were at the peak of the titled rank. She had to be at the legendary rank!

If so, why would Tang Ruyan waste time talking to them? She could just show that she was at the legendary rank and they would have to surrender or flee!

But Tang Ruyan didn’t do so. The Wang family head didn’t think that a legendary battle pet warrior needed to disguise herself.

So, the Tang Ruyan fighting had to be an imposter. That was the only reasonable explanation. Why else would the girl possess such powers?

“You know very well who I am.” Tang Ruyan answered, coldly.

Stepping on the remains and blood of the four titled battle pet warriors, she made her way to where the Situ family and the Wang family were entrenched. A dark mist surrounded her sword.

“Humph, I don’t care who you are because you’re going to die today!” The Wang family head bellowed, “Everyone, let’s kill her!”

The titled battle pet warriors could not believe it. All of them against one girl? “Come on!” the Situ family head shouted.

He was furious because the four titled battle pet warriors were from his family.

Since the two family heads had said so, the others could only obey. Also, what Tang Ruyan had been able to do had turned out to be quite intimidating. Most people trusted that they would not harm the girl in any way. Joining hands would be more like a method to stay alive.

What’s not to love about my new life after transmigrating into a Pet-centered world? There are mighty creatures that come in all shapes and sizes. They can either be cuddly companions, helpers in your daily life, daring scouts or strong fighters. Or all of the above. Not bad, huh? I have a family, but the fact is completely overshadowed by my younger sister. She thoroughly hates my guts, and she makes sure that I know this. Every. Single. Day. Did I mention that she’s disgustingly talented while I am a bottom feeder? A terribly handsome one at that. I have free rein to run the family business on my own. A small and quaint Pet Store. It should have been great if not for the fact that the previous owner of this body was born with ZERO affinity to handle Astral Pets… It wouldn’t be a proper transmigration without a gimmick or a system to pave my road to greatness, don’t you think? I have one, but I don’t know if I would be better off without it…
