Chapter 74

-What should I do? Do I have to return empty-handed on this trip, without even seeing what the Five-Colored Spiritual Flower looks like?-

Zhang Che was unwilling to admit defeat!

“If there really isn’t any other way, I can only try to use the Sonic Wave attack to see if it’s sufficient to deal with the Tian Yin Squad.”

Zhang Che squeezed out all the juice in his brain, and could only think of this solution.

He wouldn’t lose anything, even if it failed. At most he would just leave.

With Hanxue’s speed, the Tian Yin Squad was surely unable to catch up to him.

-Let’s try it!-

With a thought, the golden card in Zhang Che’s hand suddenly transformed into a green sword, pointing at the distant Tian Yin Squad.

At this time, the Purple Jade Condor had gone all in as well, launching a suicidal counterattack against the sharp-chinned man’s subdued beasts.

That fellow’s feathers were a mess. Fresh blood flowed out from the arrow wounds, and its face was decorated with a few claw wounds from the tiger-like silver-quality beast. It looked to be in very poor condition.

Even so, the Purple Jade Condor was still a gold-quality exotic beast. It was not to be underestimated when it decided to go on the offensive. Its talons swiped at and tore one of the four-star bronze-quality beasts that didn’t manage to dodge in time directly in half, instantly turning it into a dissipating streak of light.

“You beast, you’re looking for death!”

The sharp-chinned man felt his heart bleed when he suddenly lost one of his subdued beasts, just like that. Although a bronze-quality beast card wasn’t worth that much, a four-star bronze-quality card was still quite pricey. Those with good attributes could sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Enraged, the sharp-chinned man pulled out a black arrow from the quiver on his back and nocked it to his bow, ready to give the Purple Jade Condor another feisty treat.

Right at that moment, invisible sound waves swept over.

The first to be caught in it were the beastmasters and their respective subdued beasts to the side.

“Ah, what’s going on!?”

“What happened, my head hurts!”

The other beastmasters were of various Tiers. The strongest among them were only Tier Three beastmasters. After being struck by the Sonic Wave attack, all of them fell to the ground, crying in pain. They rolled around in a frenzy, hugging their heads as blood flowed out from their orifices. It felt like something was drilled into their brains, feeling worse than death.

Even their subdued beasts collapsed on the ground, crying.

The sharp-chinned man, on the other hand, only let out a low grunt after being struck by the Sonic Wave attack. In his sudden weakness, he loosed the bowstring that was less than half drawn, staggering backwards before regaining his balance.

His complexion paled, and his eyes filled with shock. He didn’t know where the creepy attack came from. His first reaction was to recall his subdued beasts, who were still fighting against the Purple Jade Condor.

Although the black arrow shot out at high speed, it was unaimed, nor was there much strength behind it. It fell into a patch of grass after flying out a few dozen meters.

The Mutated Puffersword’s level was a little too low, after all. The Purple Jade Condor and the four-star subdued beasts were certainly affected, but only to a minor degree, almost like an itch.

“Damn, is it really impossible?” Zhang Che cursed out in disappointment, ready to summon Hanxue and leave the stone forest.

However, right at that moment, the Purple Jade Condor noticed that the surrounding subdued beasts had all retreated. It flapped its wings violently and wrenched its talons on the ground, accelerating its huge figure like a lightning bolt towards a pile of stones behind the sharp-chinned man. Under a hail of the man’s curses, the Purple Jade Condor shot straight up to the skies and flew off deeper into the beast world.

Zhang Che noticed that the Purple Jade Condor was holding a five-colored mysterious flower in its beak. The flower was about the size of a bowl, shining with brilliant lights. It looked like an art piece carved with a five-colored gemstone, its beauty indescribable.

“Shit, give chase, quickly!” the sharp-chinned man yelled out in frustration. He flipped himself onto the tiger-like subdued beast and led his men in pursuit.

However, what came in response were only pained groans.

The Tian Yin Squad members had yet to recover from the tremendous pain of being struck by the Sonic Wave attack. Every one of them was still rolling on the ground, hugging their heads.

On the other hand, Zhang Che was reminded by that shout and quickly came back to himself. He summoned Hanxue and mounted him, speeding off in the direction the Purple Jade Condor flew off to.

The Purple Jade Condor was severely injured; it must not have flown far away. Although Zhang Che was unable to guarantee that Hanxue would surely catch up to it, it was definitely worth a try.

The sharp-chinned man immediately discovered Zhang Che atop Hanxue’s tall figure the moment he started fleeing, and realized what just happened. He roared out, gnashing his teeth, “Shit! I don’t care who you are! I’ll surely make you pay for foiling our Tian Yin Squad’s matters!”

When he was done cursing, the sharp-chinned man ignored his incapacitated subordinates and hurriedly gave chase with his remaining three bronze-quality subdued beasts.

However, Hanxue’s speed shot up and directly burst forth with his maximum speed, running after the Purple Jade Condor like a supercar.

After giving chase for less than ten kilometers, the sharp-chinned man lost all sight of Hanxue’s figure.

“Shit, I’ll remember you!”

The sharp-chinned man could only slow to a stop unwillingly, looking at the vast, empty plains ahead with blazing eyes, gnashing his teeth to the point of nearly breaking them.

——

Zhang Che was similarly seeing red.

Although Hanxue’s speed was brought out to the limit, it paled in comparison to the flying Purple Jade Condor.

Despite its injuries, the Purple Jade Condor’s flying speed was something Hanxue couldn’t possibly match up to. Zhang Che could only watch as its figure grew increasingly smaller.

“Damn it, was my attack earlier just a free gift to this fellow?”

Zhang Che was extremely unwilling to let it end like this, and he continued his chase, gritting his teeth. -I don’t believe you can keep flying at that speed!-

After chasing for dozens of kilometer, the Purple Jade Condor was no more than a tiny black dot in Zhang Che’s sight, threatening to disappear into the horizon at any moment. -Is it really impossible to catch up?-

Zhang Che was filled with disappointment. Just as he was about to give up on his chase, he suddenly realized that the tiny black dot was slowly growing bigger.

“Hahaha, I knew it! How could you possibly keep flying at that speed when you’re injured?” As he roared out in relieved laughter, a gigantic mountain range appeared in the distance. The Purple Jade Condor suddenly dove down towards one of the mountain peaks.
