After amending his order, General Mihill’s expression was dark, staring at the video feed in front of him as if he was trying to use his glare to punch a hole through Zhang Che on the screen.
“Damn it, why would such a good spiritual sword fragment fall into the hands of a Chinese? If I could gain control over such a powerful weapon, I wouldn’t have needed to conduct human experimentation so sneakily. The exotic beast genetic evolution fluid would have been developed long ago!”
In his anger, General Mihill’s muscles tightened. Cracking noises rang out from his joints, and a thick killing intent erupted from him.
Luckily, he was currently sitting alone in his office and no one was around him. Otherwise, they’d surely have been injured from the aura he was emitting.

At the same time, in Hua Xia’s camp, Huang Juyun was smiling brightly.
“That kid… I thought I already knew he was very strong now. I didn’t expect him to be THAT strong! He really surprises me every time! Indeed, our Lanlan has a good eye!”
Huang Juyun could feel the envious gazes from the other faction and clan leaders. A clan would have nothing to worry about if they had such a prodigy of the heavens.

In the crowd, the crystal object between He Luotu’s brows with mysterious mental control abilities was concealed under his skin. He narrowed his eyes, looking at the display on his personal terminal. Two black vortexes were spinning quickly deep in his pupils.
“It’s really getting more and more interesting. Someone actually obtained such a powerful spiritual sword fragment. Even during the ancient war, spiritual sword fragments of such a level weren’t commonly seen… A pity that such a talented person is fated to never become a member of our demonic tribe. Then… we can only kill him!”
When he finished thinking, the black vortex deep in He Luotu’s pupils spun faster and faster. He immediately contacted his other clones via telepathy. After a short discussion, they decided to kill this man after they entered the secret plane, no matter how many mid-tier beastmaster puppets they had to sacrifice. Otherwise, Zhang Che would become an endless source of trouble to them!

“Ao….!” A miserable wolf’s howl rang out. The large wolf riding the berserk winds was heavily injured by Zhang Che’s slash before coming back from the short stun it just experienced. Its dark green eyes instantly turned bloody red, its large body nearly turning into the wind itself, and it avoided Zhang Che’s next slash.
“Hmm? This fellow is very clever!” A hint of surprise flashed across Zhang Che’s eyes. He didn’t expect the large wolf was actually able to determine where the scarlet and white sword was going to attack from by observing his movements, and avoid his next attack.
It was impossible for ordinary exotic beasts to have such an ability. It went to show this large wolf really mustn’t be underestimated!
However, Zhang Che didn’t care about that. With a wave of his hand, he summoned the Earthen Rock Demon out.
Although the Earthen Rock Demon was only at six-stars and unable to fly, it stood a few dozen meters tall. Standing atop the mountain peak below Zhang Che, it was able to disrupt the large wolf by hurling rock spears at it.
It was too bad the Scarlet Flame Drake couldn’t fly. Otherwise, Zhang Che would have summoned all his powerful combat forces to gang up on that injured large wolf, earning some big bucks before entering the secret plane.
This time, the Earthen Rock Demon’s appearance didn’t draw the breaths of the spectators. After all, everyone knew Zhang Che had this epic-quality subdued beast, and was naturally not surprised by it.
Not only that, they were anticipating Zhang Che summoning his other two epic-quality subdued beasts as well. That way, the wind-riding large wolf’s fate would be sealed.
Not many people knew that Zhang Che had long passed the other two epic-quality subdued beasts to Liu Gang’s squad to protect the villa, and they had achieved huge merits during the ambush they recently experienced.
“Master, this servant will help you, too!” The elemental queen sitting behind Zhang Che cried out on seeing the intense ongoing battle, ready to join the fray.
However, Zhang Che hurriedly stopped her, saying, “No need. It’s not good for you to expose yourself now. Me and those two fellows are more than enough to bring down that wolf.”
He wasn’t joking, the elemental queen was one of Zhang Che’s secret weapons. He didn’t intend to expose her true strength in front of others. They all thought she was another mid-tier beastmaster sent by the Huang family to follow him into the secret plane.
Once the elemental queen exposed her powerful fire elemental attacks, her identity as a non-human would be revealed!
Zhang Che had never heard of others coming across any fully humanoid exotic beast creatures. It was better to not expose her and draw the attention of others if he could help it.
Otherwise, heavens knew how much trouble this would give birth to!
Everyone had powerful subdued beasts, but humanoid pets were unique to Zhang Che, at least until now. He didn’t want to bring trouble to himself for nothing.

Back in front of him, the large wolf was still dodging the attacks from Zhang Che’s scarlet and white sword. It was staring at Zhang Che, able to see through his attacks for some reason, and the scarlet and white sword had hit nothing all this time.
Since all its attention was on Zhang Che, the large wolf was struck a few times by the Earthen Rock Demon’s spears. A few more wounds appeared on its body, but none of them were too severe.
After all, the Earthen Rock Demon was a star tier lower than the wolf. The attack power of its rock spears weren’t very high, either, in addition to the large wolf avoiding being struck in its vitals. There was nothing to be afraid of.
“Hanming, use your skill!”
Zhang Che couldn’t be bothered to continue wasting time with this wolf.
Since it could see through his attacks and dodge nimbly in the air, then he would take away the speed to dodge his attacks!
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon quickly opened his mouth upon receiving the order. A huge stream of frozen air blew out, shrouding the surrounding couple hundred of meters within it, freezing the large wolf and slowing its movement once more.
At the same time, the Earthen Rock Demon let out a soundless roar. A lightning spear quickly shot out from its hand, directly flying towards the large wolf’s throat.
With its flight speed suddenly plummeting, the large wolf was both surprised and enraged. It cried out furiously, opening its mouth and shooting out numerous sky-blue wind blades at Zhang Che.
Facing this type of pure elemental skill, Zhang Che showed no change in expression. He directly activated the Purple-Gold Demonic Armored Worm’s Elemental Protective Barrier.
An invisible barrier immediately appeared around Zhang Che. Some of the wind blades that went through the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s False Domain struck Zhang Che, but were all blocked by the Elemental Protective Barrier.
This was a powerful barrier that rendered elemental attacks under divine-quality useless. How could the large wolf’s wind blades possibly cut through it?

“That kid’s defense is actually this tough! Even a high-tier epic-quality exotic beast’s skill attack wasn’t able to hurt him; it looks like that armor of his isn’t simple!”
“With that kind of defense, could it be an epic-quality armor?”
The crowd fell into shock once more when they saw Zhang Che perfectly block the large wolf’s skill.
An epic-quality armor! Even among high-tier beastmasters, not many of them had one. That kid was really like a favored child of the heavens; how much more good stuff did he have on him?
—
After seeing its skill failing to injure Zhang Che, the large wolf started feeling an intense fear. It manipulated the winds, ready to rush to the forest below. It knew it had no way of obtaining victory in this fight anymore. If it didn’t run, it would probably meet its end here!
That man was really too shameless, actually ganging up on it three-on-one. If it was a one-on-one fight, the large wolf thought it definitely wouldn’t have to fear Zhang Che.
“Only thinking of running now? Isn’t it a little too late?” A mocking smile curled up on Zhang Che’s face when he saw the large wolf trying to run.
“Hanming, Extreme Yin Ray!”
A minute had just passed. Zhang Che ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to use the single-target Extreme Yin Ray again. A deep blue ray promptly struck the large wolf once more.
Having been slowed down by the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s wide-area skill already, and with a huge wound inflicted by the Earthen Rock Demon’s lightning spear, the large wolf was much slower than before.
The forest below was just in front of its eyes, but at this moment it seemed as far as the ends of the world.
“Die!” Zhang Che demanded. The golden vortex’s energy erupted. The scarlet and white sword sped up by thirty percent suddenly, directly cutting into the wound it left behind earlier, and sliced off the wolf’s neck.
The large wolf didn’t even manage to howl one last time before it was decapitated by the scarlet and white sword, losing all signs of life and quickly falling to the forest below.

The two sections of the corpse, accompanied by the spraying blood, formed an extremely shocking image in the spectators’ eyes.
Everyone who saw this scene through the satellite feed lost their voice.
What was a heaven’s prodigy?
Cutting down a high-tier epic-quality exotic beast with two slashes; that’s what it was!
All of a sudden, the crowd felt all kinds of emotions conflicting in their heart.
Those on Zhang Che’s side were happy that such a powerful figure had emerged from the younger generation. In the future, the human camp would become stronger, no matter if they were against the fifth beast swarm or the demon army’s next invasion.
Sometimes, the might displayed by a single young prodigy alone could be higher than a whole military platoon!
Zhang Che’s enemies, as well as the clones of the supreme demon, had sunken expressions.
The stronger Zhang Che was, the higher the price they would have to pay to deal with him. Not only that, they might not succeed, either!
——-
After Zhang Che had slain the high-tier epic-quality large wolf with two slashes, he didn’t go pick up its corpse. That fellow was a little too large. The space available in Zhang Che’s spatial storage equipment and the Purple Crystal Tortoise wasn’t enough to fit it in.
As such, he immediately made a call to Huang Juyun’s personal terminal and said, “Uncle Huang, please get your men to help bring the large wolf’s corpse back later. My spatial storage can’t fit it.”
Huang Juyun was incredibly excited. He roared out in laughter, quickly promising Zhang Che, “Alright, don’t worry! This little matter is no problem for Uncle Huang!”
Zhang Che relaxed. There was no need to worry that this high-tier epic-quality exotic beast corpse, worth more than a million purple crystal points, would be snatched by others.
The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon continued flying, crossing dozens of kilometers. When Zhang Che saw the hundred-meters-tall purple gateway ahead, he felt a surge of emotion in his heart. Afterwards, without a second thought, he ordered the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon to directly fly inside.
“I hope this secret plane won’t disappoint me!”
The scenery around him changed rapidly, light and shadow overlapping continuously. Zhang Che was deeply looking forward to this!
