After seeing Zhang Che summoning two epic-quality subdued beasts in one go, in addition to owning a set of legend-quality armor, and even his mount being legend-quality, Zheng Hongru’s group of four, who came to cheer him on, felt their hearts shaking.
Not too long ago, Zhang Che was still someone they could try to catch up to. The four of them had just risen to Tier Three beastmaster recently, and yet Zhang Che was already a Tier Six beastmaster, owning a bunch of extremely powerful subdued beasts!
The gap between them was simply as vast as the heaven and earth.
“Brother Che is too awesome!” the four of them exclaimed at the same time.
At their side, Luo Wenjun, who understood the Zhen family’s strength very well, hated the fact that his Wind God Leopard wasn’t one star rank lower. Otherwise, he could have lent it to Zhang Che, increasing his chances of winning…

On the side of the Zhen family’s camp, Zhen Manting revealed an amused smile upon seeing Zhang Che summon the Winged Dragon Wind God and the Jade-Shelled Mystic Tortoise.
“Heh, looks like this kid is really holding something back.”
Zhen Manting didn’t mind it at all. The fact that Zhang Che had chosen the desert as the location of the duel without a doubt that he had an earth-attributed epic-quality subdued beast in reserve, and he was planning to use it as a surprise attack later on.
“Too bad. No matter what hidden card you have up your sleeves, it’s useless. You’re sure to die here today!”
After seeing Zhang Che summon his subdued beasts, Zhen Liu brought out his own subdued beasts unhurriedly.
He too summoned two Original Combat Body-type epic-quality subdued beasts. The two beasts were at his front, to the left and right, their formation mirroring Zhang Che’s Winged Dragon Wind God and Jade-Shelled Mystic Tortoise.
Afterwards, two five-colored rays shot out from his brow, and materialized into a set of armor and a flying mount.
Naturally the Zhen family was already aware that Zhang Che had a legend-quality subdued beast with a monstrous attack skill. It was why they had prepared this legend-quality armor for Zhen Liu, which emphasized physical defense. It could withstand most physical attacks from those of the same level and quality.
As for the flying mount, naturally it was to guard against Zhang Che’s killer move.
With such a comprehensive defense, Zhen Liu felt that Zhang Che wouldn’t be able to do anything to him, no matter what tricks he had up his sleeves.
His killer move was one of the most powerful secret weapons of the Zhen family. Would this brat in front of him be able to withstand such an attack?
Zhang Che could sense the confidence coming from Zhen Liu from over a kilometer away. He narrowed his eyes slightly, growing a little more wary inside. -It seems like the Zhen family has a very fearsome trump, too. I really can’t be careless in this battle…-
—
After seeing the subdued beasts summoned by the fighters, the spectators immediately erupted.
They didn’t know if it was just a coincidence, but the subdued beasts they summoned actually turned out to be the same types: two Original Combat Body-type epic-quality beasts, a legend-quality armor, and a legend-quality flying mount.
This became very interesting!
Judging by the current situation, the two were evenly matched. No one could truly tell who would be the one emerging victorious in the end.
Although the two were surely hiding their aces, perhaps even those were evenly matched?
If that was true, today’s battle would definitely be a spectacle to behold!
—
Zhang Che didn’t show any change in emotions when he saw the subdued beasts his opponent had summoned.
Zhang Che looked with slightly narrowed eyes, then waved his hand. With the two epic-quality subdued beasts in front of him and the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon behind, he directly rushed forward.
He didn’t have any time to waste here; naturally he wanted to end it as soon as possible.
As long as the Winged Dragon Wind God and the Jade-Shelled Mystic Tortoise kept their opponents at bay, Zhang Che would be able to cut down the other party with the scarlet sword.
A legend-quality armor shouldn’t be very useful against the scarlet sword. If his opponent’s armor was at epic-quality, however, Zhang Che really didn’t dare to guarantee the scarlet sword could pierce it.
—
“Haha, it’s finally starting!”
“Hurry, start recording this! Such spectacles aren’t frequently seen. Film it and keep it as a commemoration; perhaps you can even sell it!”
“Don’t be silly. Who do you think they are? I dare you to try recording this; I guarantee you won’t walk out of this desert alive!”
The spectators erupted into discussions here and there.
—
Huang Juyun stood atop on a hill. Seeing Zhang Che rushing towards his opponent first, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow. As expected of a youngster, he couldn’t keep it in!
By doing so, wouldn’t Zhang Che be giving his opponent a chance to counter him?
—
Zhen Liu narrowed his eyes, a hint of mockery flashing across his face as he watched Zhang Che’s epic-quality subdued beasts flying towards him, especially the Winged Dragon Wind God. Dust was swept up everywhere it went.
“I’ll see what methods you have first, or you won’t even make peace with your death!”
Zhen Liu waved his hand. The two epic-quality subdued beasts in front of him charged forth, too.
At the same time, in order to guard against the underground ambush from Zhang Che’s earth-attributed subdued beast, Zhen Liu ordered his mount to rise into the sky, flying a few hundred meters in the air.
———
The lands were bloody red under the purplish-red sky.
Scarlet boiling magma were gushing out inside countless volcano craters. Smoke and dust rose and filled the skies, shrouding the lands in a cloud of darkness.
At the top of an enormous mountain was a wide platform.
At the center of the platform was a gigantic multi-colored demonic flower, floating in the air. The bright petals were in full bloom, emitting a fascinating charm.
Around the platform, all kinds of strange-looking creatures were gathered in a circle. Each of them was exuding a terrifying aura. The volcanic ash was unable to fly in the direction of their gathering, forcibly leaving a part of the sky untainted and allowing the purplish-red rays to shine through.
Around the demonic flower were a group of white, black, and yellow-skinned humans from Mercury. An unusual, devilish glint shone in their eyes. Every one of them was naked, and standing in a complicated, mysterious formation, surrounding the demonic flower that floating in the air.
The bizarre creatures surrounding them suddenly opened their mouths at the same time, producing a mixture of noises. In the end, the noises came together and formed a weird musical composition filled with demonic powers, ringing through the lands.
The demonic song grew louder and louder. The petals of the blooming demonic flower at the center of the platform started dancing, although no wind was blowing.
After the petals started dancing, thin threads of various colors visible to the naked eye suddenly shot out from the petals, and wove around one another methodically, forming a huge net. The net surrounded the naked humans of various ethnicities as well as the strange-looking creatures further outside.
Wave after wave of raging energy gushed out from the strange creatures in the outermost ring, travelling along the threads, and quickly entering the bodies of the naked humans.
The violent energy run rampant in the humans’ bodies, and their exposed figures swelled up. Their veins were puffed out, as if huge earthworms were coursing through their blood vessels, giving them a frightening appearance.
At the same time, waves of exotic energy were also coursing through the threads from the countless petals of the demonic flower, entering into the bodies of the humans.
Gradually, a mysterious energy aura formed on the platform.
As the energy aura gradually grew stronger, an invisible pressure spread out to the surroundings. The volcanic ash that permeated the skies were actually blown away. An invisible tunnel had appeared above the platform, connecting to the heavens.
The humans around the demonic flower could no longer withstand the raging energy inside their bodies, and blood started trickling out of their orifices. A silent cry suddenly rang out from inside the demonic flower. The energy aura on the platform suddenly erupted, then an enormous mysterious energy suddenly rose to the sky. In the end, it formed a black vortex a few dozen meters above the platform.
Suddenly, it seemed like a gap had cracked open the purplish-red sky above their heads. A purplish-red beam of light shot straight down from the opening, and into the black vortex above the platform.
It was like the black vortex had taken a stimulant, and it started spinning quickly. The black, blurry spiral was contracting, emitting incredibly mysterious waves of energy, like it wanted to tear the space apart.
Sensing the instability in the space around them, the strange-looking creatures at the outermost ring revealed feverish glints in their eyes. Afterwards, they opened their mouths and spat out a mouthful of blood essence of various colors, which turned into incredibly pure energy, then travelled along the network of threads.
——
In the endless wilderness all over the globe in Mercury, strange glints of light reflected in the eyes of numerous humans sitting at various desolate corners of the world.
At a certain moment, a wave of violent energy suddenly erupted from the bodies of those humans, each located thousands of kilometers away from one another. Afterwards, their bodies exploded and turned into black-colored mists of blood.
The blood mists didn’t spatter about. Instead, it was like they were under the control of an invisible energy, and each of them formed a strange pattern in the air.
Within those strange patterns, an inexplicable energy connected to a distant world. It actually tore through the space at each of the locations, constructing mysterious spatial tunnels leading to an unknown land.
—
At the other end of the mysterious land, above the platform at the enormous mountain, the black vortex suddenly contracted, then erupted completely, turning into many smaller vortexes, scattering outwards with the platform as the origin, and forming a strange new pattern in the air.
A massive invisible energy spread from the strange pattern, instantly wiping away the volcanic ash in the surroundings.
Rays of magenta light shone up in the purplish-red sky. With the tallest mountain as the center, countless strangely-shaped creatures dotted the uneven ground, as well as the skies.
The mysterious creatures were everywhere, like an endless army about to go on a conquest.
Killing intent surged in the air from the huge army…
