Chapter 323: Chapter 200: Sixth Rank Ninth Stage, The More Battles, The Braver
Translator: 549690339
Having fought consecutively, the five of them finally managed to eliminate more than half of the over six hundred Guaiyan Guardians. However, their losses were devastating!
Zeng Linshan was the first to be swallowed up by the Guaiyan Guardians, followed by the youth who lost his Soul Pet early on. The sole surviving youth also lost one of his Soul Pets, with his remaining two Elemental Soul Pets not even being his main pets. They barely managed to deal with a few Guaiyan Guardians as the battling and trembling pets desperately sought to survive in the space between Zhang Qin and Qing Li’s Soul Pets.
“Qing Li, quickly deal with these Guaiyan Guards, kill that guy and we can leave!” Zhang Qin was well aware that the situation was not promising.
After speaking, Zhang Qin intentionally looked at Qing Li and said through Soul Sense: “Should we summon the fourth pet to protect him? There are still more than two hundred Guaiyan Guardians and his surviving pets have no real combat power…”
“Hmph, since you’ve said he has no combat ability, what’s the point of keeping him around? Let him fend for himself. Besides, the fewer people who know about this, the better!” Qing Li said bitterly.
Zhang Qin nodded his head, dismissing the thought of summoning the fourth pet.
Zhang Qin and Qing Li were both very cautious. Perhaps if they brought out their fourth Soul Pets now, it could alleviate some pressure. However, they had to keep something in reserve. If a real danger occurred, they would have no chance of surviving otherwise!
“Strange, why hasn’t that kid’s Sixth Rank Stage 1 Battle Beast Mo Ye died yet.” Zhang Qin glanced at the large crevice on the plank road not far away, looking a bit surprised.
“Don’t worry about it, just deal with these first!” Qing Li paid no heed to Chu Mu’s unremarkable sixth rank commander.
…
At the large crevice in the plank road
Zhan Ye’s vitality was six times stronger than most common Soul Pets. This formidable vitality allowed Zhan Ye to survive in spite of being besieged, and with the ongoing battle, Zhan Ye’s strength was gradually increasing!
Zhan Ye also possessed an exceptional ability for self-healing and recovery. Unless it endured a severe blow that completely eliminated its combat ability, Zhan Ye would not readily use its resurrection skill. After all, this skill could only be used six times, and the longer it endured during these six resurrections, the stronger its combat power!
“Roar Roar Roar!!!!!!!!!!!”
The moment of power increase was when Zhan Ye’s bursting power was the strongest. Zhan Ye’s claws were immediately enveloped by a Level 6 Full-State Offensive Soul Claw, violently crashing into the plank road!!
Finally, under the influence of the Courageous Sting’s Heart, Zhan Ye’s rank increased another stage, reaching the Sixth Rank Fifth Stage!
Shatter Stomp!!!
“Boom boom~~~~~~~~~~~”
The power range of the Shatter Stomp was vast, affecting everything within a radius of twenty meters. Those Guaiyan Guardians approaching Zhan Ye were immediately blasted away, and a few Guaiyan Guardians were even shaken off the plank road, tumbling down the steep stone wall!
Taking advantage of this surge of growth, Zhan Ye managed to kill several more Guaiyan Guardians and then decisively retreated back to the position of the large crevice, continuing with a defensive strategy!
There were still more than forty Guaiyan Guardians around Zhan Ye. If these guardians used their skills at the same time, their destructive power would be terrifying. Despite Zhan Ye having Ink Armor and Level Six Soul Armor, the number of injuries on its body was rapidly increasing…
“Charming Pet – Cold Crushing Mark!” Chu Mu’s spell chant resonated!
With the Ice-Feathered Spirit covering for him, Chu Mu began chanting the spell for the Cold Crushing Mark which lasted for 5 seconds!
Sixteen Ice Magic Rings appeared and quickly swept across the plank road, flying to where Zhan Ye was.
The Guaiyan Guardians attacking Zhan Ye had not noticed Chu Mu’s Ice Attribute Skill. The sixteen Ice Magic Rings pinned these Guaiyan Guardian bodies!
The release of the cold air from the Cold Crushing Mark quickly froze the bodies of these fourteen Guaiyan Guardians into blocks of ice!
Of the fourteen Guaiyan Guardians, seven were crushed into ice slags and dust by the Ice Magic Rings. Although the other seven didn’t die, their rock skins were completely damaged!
The higher the skill level, the less effective Chu Mu’s Charming Pet skills would be.
Moreover, Chu Mu’s control over ice was certainly not as good as the Ice-Feathered Spirit’s. Therefore, the Cold Crushing Mark released by Chu Mu was slightly discounted. The fact that he was able to kill seven Guaiyan Guardians in an instant was also due to a Second Thought Soul Master’s powerful Soul Sense.
“Zhan Ye, Limb Regeneration!”
After slightly alleviating Zhan Ye’s pressure, Chu Mu immediately instructed Zhan Ye to use the Limb Regeneration Skill!
Wounds began to appear wildly on Zhan Ye, spilling out half-fluid insect juice that covered its body. As it healed its wounds, it quickly secreted various fluids and rapidly formed a new set of Ink Armor!
“Ice Crystal Armor!” Chu Mu gave the command to the Ice-Feathered Spirit.
“Ling” Min’s pressure here had greatly reduced, using an auxiliary skill would not affect its combat ability.
The defense of the Ice Crystal Armour was much higher than that of the Xuan Crystal Armour. Zhan Ye’s own Ink Armor and Level 6 Soul Armor, coupled with the Ice Crystal Armour, had increased his defense to nearly Level 8!
With his defense increased to nearly Level 8, the damage inflicted on Zhan Ye by the Guaiyan Guardians’ attacks was significantly reduced. Although the Ice Crystal Armour somewhat affected his speed, for a unique soul pet like Zhan Ye, the longer he could hold out, the more advantageous it was.
After Zhan Ye’s defense was enhanced, Chu Mu could also be less worried about it during the battle, directly commanding Mo Ye and Ning to execute a rampage on the Guaiyan Guardians!
“That kid’s Level 6 Stage 1 War Beast Mo Ye is still alive?” Zhang Qin glanced over and suddenly noticed that at the large crevice of the plank road, the War Beast Mo Ye, clad in black armor, was still fighting ferociously amongst the Guaiyan Guardians. The forty or so Guaiyan Guardians that had previously besieged it were now only twenty plus remaining!
“Level 6 Stage 8? Did he change his soul pet?” Zhang Qin abruptly noticed that Mo Ye had grown to Level 6 Stage 8!
“This…how is this possible? How did it become Level 6 Stage 8!” The youth who had been hiding between the two was staring wide-eyed and looking incredulously at Chu Mu’s Zhan Ye!
The youth was not far away from the large crevice of the plank road during the battle. Amidst such intense and chaotic combat, he naturally could not pay attention to a weak Level 6 Zhan Ye. However, when his gaze swept over, he, too, could see that the soul pet had been there all along, entangled with the forty plus Guaiyan Guardians.
The young generation member didn’t pay much attention to this before, but now he suddenly discovered that this Level 6 Stage 1 Ink Beast was not only still alive but had also increased its strength to Level 6 Stage 8. He could also assert with absolute certainty that Chu Mu had not changed his soul pet!
“Roar!!!!!!”
The roar was filled with explosive power, making it feel as if the space itself was shaking and vibrating with the roar!
While the three members of the Elemental Sect were astonished, Zhan Ye unexpectedly grew another stage in the midst of the battle, reaching Level 6 Stage 9!
“Growth by itself! This War Beast Mo Ye can grow by itself!!” The three members of the Elemental Sect who had noticed Mo Ye’s struggle were completely dumbfounded, they were even momentarily oblivious to many of the Guaiyan Guardians threatening them at the side.
The Courageous Sting’s Heart! After a whopping five limb regenerations, Zhan Ye’s strength had finally increased to Level 6 Stage 9!
At Level 6 Stage 9, Zhan Ye’s strength, speed, defense, vitality, and healing ability had all elevated to a higher level. Facing the remaining twenty Guaiyan Guardians, Zhan Ye was more than capable of dealing with them!
With the great augmentation in strength, Zhan Ye embarked on a frenzied slaughter. The Guaiyan Guardians simply had no way to deal with a fully armed Zhan Ye!
Sky-Splitting Claw!!!
Black Armor Thorn!!
Death Light!
Shatter Stomp!!
Skills were cast as if endless. After a fierce battle, the number of Guaiyan Guardians gradually diminished, and in the end, only a few remaining ones retreated in trepidation, not daring to approach this ferocious war beast again!
The Ink Armor was now riddled with scars, which would be considered moderate injuries for other soul pets. But for Zhan Ye, who possessed a powerful insect lineage, these wouldn’t pose great hurdles in its fight.
Having dealt with all the Guaiyan Guardians that attacked itself, Zhan Ye swiftly joined Mo Ye on his battlefield and fought alongside him.
The number of Guaiyan Guardians that Mo Ye faced were significantly more than what Zhan Ye and Ice-Feathered Spirit had combined. Even after killing forty Guaiyan Guardians, there were still more than forty left.
With Zhan Ye joining the battle and acting as a formidable meat shield drawing fire for Mo Ye, Mo Ye himself could cast his powerful monarch skills without any hesitation!
“Eliminate them.”
After clearing all the threatening Guaiyan Guardians surrounding them, Chu Mu enabled the Ice-Feathered Spirit to join Mo Ye in his battle as well.
With the combined forces of three soul pets, the remaining forty Guaiyan Guardians had no chance of resistance and were quickly killed by Mo Ye, Zhan Ye and Ning!
After Chu Mu eliminated all the Guaiyan Guardians besieging him, the battle between Qing Li and Zhang Qin was also drawing to a close. The formidable Ziyuan Thunder Demon’s terrifying thunder claws descended, interspersed with numerous heart-stopping strings of lightning, blasting the last three Guaiyan Guardians into fragments!
Qing Li and Zhang Qin gathered their soul pets around them, their eyes coldly gazing at Chu Mu. All six of their soul pets had suffered visible injuries and were panting heavily after the battle ended, clearly having expended a great deal of energy in the intense fight.
The entire plank road was almost unrecognizable. The huge pits, scattered rocks, dense cracks…
The original mountain had severely deformed, even giving an impression of instability.
The corpses of the Guaiyan Guardians were strewn over parts of the plank road that remained intact, with many others hanging on jagged rocks and embedded in the mountain body. Soul Cores were everywhere, occasionally one could see several enticing gleams of light hiding in the gaps between the rocks.
However, whether it was Soul Cores or Soul Crystals, none of the three remaining people would pay any attention to them, as their primary task now was – to kill each other!
