Astral Pet Store Chapter 703 - Earth-shaking Move!
“Not again!”
“It’s that human!”
“I’d say he has come at a perfect time. Lord Blood Wings will eat him up!”
“I’m going to eat that human’s dragon!”
Some Void State beast kings saw Su Ping and his battle pet approaching, both angry and excited.
Su Ping didn’t try to hide his momentum. After all, those at the Void State were not to be trifled with; some of them that were more skilled in perception could even detect Fate State beings in hiding. There was also the fact that Su Ping was merely at the titled rank.
Su Ping looked down at the endless swarm of beasts from the sky. The routed beasts had gathered with others.
Su Ping’s killing intent was surging. If they had the guts to come, he would have the guts to kill them all!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
In an instant, flames of fire and walls of ice came out from the throng of beasts. From the ground grew out many hills that tore the ground open.
Toxic vines were wrapped around the hills, and then the vines were lashing at Su Ping.
The hills had some delicate and charming flowers. However, a dense array of toxic arrows were coming out of the flowers.
Those strikes blotted out the sky and covered up the earth. The Dark Dragon Hound barked and added many defense layers for Su Ping and the Inferno Dragon.
The many legendary-rank defense skills were so diversified that many beast kings that saw this were dumbstruck.
The many types of energies bumped into each other, creating an explosion. Su Ping and the Inferno Dragon snarled and charged toward the beasts together.
Roar!!!
The Inferno Dragon cried to the sky. Its mere presence had awed the beasts.
No beast would ever forget that dragon as it soared in the sky, glaring as the sun.
The average beasts were so frightened that they dropped to the ground and trembled. The ones among them with a less violent nature had almost been paralyzed, wetting themselves.
“Open the gate to the world of the undead!” Su Ping shouted. Astral powers surged out from him. A primitive door began to manifest in the air behind him, becoming increasingly tangible. As one saw through the door, there seemed to be something terrifying looking down at the mortal world.
Two dark skeleton hands grabbed the door frame as they pulled their owner’s body out.
That was the door to the undead realm. Undead creatures would come out from there!
Since Su Ping had merged with the Little Skeleton, he was also able to use the Little Skeleton’s skills. That was the benefit of a battle pet warrior merging with the battle pet.
Boom~!!
The door opened. Something on the other side was opening the door.
The next second, the profound energy of the undead gushed out from the door. The sky behind Su Ping darkened. Dark clouds gathered; even the atmosphere was becoming eerie.
After a short, silent moment, many soldiers riding on skeleton dragons dashed out. Those soldiers—that were shouting and running toward the wild beasts—looked like ancient giants.
Many spheres of darkness came out from the door. They spun in the air and descended into the throng, and then a certain mist began to emerge from those wild beasts. Their skins shrank; it was as if their lifeforce were being sucked out!
“Come on!!!” Su Ping shouted and flew to the wild beasts.
He was one man, but he was as powerful as a large number of cavalry and foot soldiers!
“What the heck is that? I cannot believe he can open a portal to the realm of the undead!”
“Oh my god, what is that skill? Is he an undead creature?”
“Damn it, I feel that something terrifying inside that door is gazing at us, and it’s going to come out at any minute!”
The beast kings were terrified by what they saw.
All of a sudden, they heard an indifferent snort. “Humph!”
All the beasts felt their hearts skip a beat. Each beast felt it differently, but all beasts realized that the terror in their hearts was being alleviated!
The next second, the blue sky above the swarm of beasts turned red!
A huge, blood-red creature came out from among the myriads of beasts. The creature cried sharply and dashed toward Su Ping who was on a killing spree.
“It’s Lord Blood Wings!”
“Lord Blood Wings is here! It’s too late for that human to run away!”
The beast kings were thrilled to see that blood-red creature.
They were no longer calling Su Ping a puny thing, but a human. Su Ping’s actions had made the beasts recognize his race.
“Fate State?”
Su Ping saw that blood-red behemoth heading toward him. The fact that the behemoth was at the Fate State didn’t cause him any surprise nor shock.
When he said that he was going to take care of the north side, he was prepared to fight the Fate State creatures.
The Little Skeleton and the Inferno Dragon weren’t able to defeat a Fate State beast king just yet. However, the Little Skeleton was almost immortal by relying on the inherent skill from the skeleton king!
Not even those at the Fate State could kill the Little Skeleton. A case in point would be the Thousand-eyed Demon Beast back at the Corridor.
Now that he was merged with the Little Skeleton, his combat strength was increasing drastically. He could fight a Fate State beast king!
Whoosh!
The Blood Wing dashed out from the red mist. It was a beast with four blood-red wings which stirred up a scorching heat. It also had three golden feathers on its head, which could be counted as secret weapons... It was able to cut a mountain with one feather!
“Look at him. Is he the so-called Tower Master of the humans? Humph!”
Blood Wings gazed at Su Ping with its golden eyes. All of a sudden, it violently flapped its wings and several fireballs came out, spinning around. The color of the fire was different from the average sort.
In the meantime, Su Ping felt space around him was moving. The next second, he found himself right in front of the fireballs.
Space Folding!
That was a skill that those at the Fate State could use to manipulate space.
Such an attack would have caught many unaware, but not Su Ping. He simply had too much experience in fighting against Fate State beasts.
Su Ping sneered. It seemed that he had anticipated meeting those fireballs directly. He unsheathed his sword and infused it with dark Ashura Energy to slash at the air!
Bang. The fireballs were sliced in two!
The fire disappeared. The energy structure that was sustaining the fireballs was destroyed!
Lord Blood Wings wore a grave look after looking at that cut.
“Phoenix Destruction!”
The Blood Wing flew higher in the sky. The red mist was getting thicker and thicker as the beast unleashed more energy, blasting away a virtual bird-shaped wave the next second. While gliding through a curve, the blast wave traveled toward Su Ping.
The bird-shaped attack was also flapping its wings. Space was twisting, which was a result of the scorching heat.
Su Ping felt that the space around him was fixed, preventing him from teleporting. He was still weaker than Fate State beings when it came to space manipulation; he would have to break himself free with brute force!
However, Su Ping wasn’t planning on slashing space open to break himself free.
“Kill!!”
Su Ping opened his coldly gleaming eyes!
Astral powers were boiling inside him.
He went to the north side not to run, but to fight!
He would keep the north side safe so that the continent’s last line of defense wasn’t besieged from all sides!
He drew his sword!
The buzzing sound echoed in the sky. The next second, all light surrounding Su Ping was disappearing, as if extinguishing. The space around the sword became pitch dark.
Annihilation!
Void Sword!
“Come on!!”
Su Ping raised his head and stared at the Blood Wing above him in the sky. He slashed at the bird. The ray of sword light penetrated everything in the way!
The frozen space was crushed into pieces, leaving behind a mark in the air!
The bird-shaped blast wave was halved by that ray of sword light!
The most shocking thing was, the ray of sword light didn’t stop there; it had reached the Blood Wing in an instant.
“No, I don’t believe it...”
The Blood Wing’s round eyes were full of disbelief.
It could not conceive how that supernatural power came from that human; such a power should only belong to those at the Star Rank. It was a power the Blood Wing aspired to attain!!
The next second, the large beast was unable to conjure a single thought!
Bang. The Blood Wing cracked from the middle; its head and chest were cut open. It felt as if the world had lost its color in that scene.
Following that, blood poured down over the beasts swarming on the ground.
The dozens of beast kings that had eagerly waited for the Blood Wing froze on the spot. One second before they were stunned by the blast wave. The next second revealed such a sight.
The beast kings found that they could barely think.
That was Lord Blood Wings!
Horrifying!
All the beast kings felt their hearts were racing and their minds were in a daze. They could not think.
Phew!
Su Ping breathed in relief while still up in the air. His mind was getting somewhat fatigued.
He looked away from the Blood Wing’s corpse. Without any hesitation, he dived down to face the beast swarm.
The Void Sword that he had learned in the world of Golden Crows was a skill of his own creation, which had some destructive rules integrated. He had tried it before; average Fate State beast kings were unable to survive it!
That was why he was courageous enough to head to the north side by himself!
Of course, he would be less confident if the Fate State beast king was especially strong or if several of them joined forces.
After all, he had to exert great strength to manifest that skill. He could easily restore his energy with revivals in the cultivation sites, but in real life... He could only use that sword attack three times! Even with the help of the Little Skeleton.
He had to finish the Blood Wing as soon as possible.
Boom~!!
Su Ping dashed out, reaching the supersonic speed. A shrill cry was heard; behind him you could see the Blood Wing falling from the sky. The powerful creature had become a thing of the past!
Bang!
Su Ping threw himself into the throng of beasts. He stomped on the ground and made it cave in; the beasts nearby died. He rushed forward, smashing all the nearby beasts to death!
Kill, kill, kill!
Su Ping ran around wildly and killed nonstop!
He was covered in blood, with hair disheveled. He held the sword. The wild beasts were overwhelmed by grief and terror!
“Run. Run!”
“Why, but why? Lord Blood Wings died. Is this human...?”
“Get out of my way!!”
The beast kings in the throng were having a mental breakdown; they were no longer in any shape to fight. They chose to flee.
What Su Ping did just then was too scary. He had killed what the beasts admired with a single cut. He had also snuffed out their violence and courage!
That small human looked even more terrifying than a demon from hell!
The beasts instantly collapsed in disorder.
Beast kings were running for their lives; Su Ping was targeting them specifically. As for the other beasts... Su Ping would just stomp them or smash them to death.
The guy was aiming at the leaders!
The beast kings were escaping and they, too, stomped many beasts to death by accident. The wild beasts were in disarray; they were crying and howling. It was as if the ones facing a crisis were the beasts, not the humans!
Su Ping didn’t offer any pathways to survival. He caught up with the Ocean State beast kings easily. After all, they had yet to learn any space skills and were unable to teleport. They had some skills which could aid in their escape, but they were still not fast enough when Su Ping could teleport.
“Show mer...”
Some of the Ocean State beasts were able to speak the human language. They dropped to their knees and tried begging when Su Ping approached them.
However, Su Ping ran past those beast kings directly. The next second, there would be a perfectly clean cut on the beast kings’ necks.
Su Ping knew that those beasts had been excited after seeing so many innocent and helpless people. None of them ever showed mercy!
He had to finish them all!
Behind him, the Inferno Dragon and the Dark Dragon Hound were also on a killing spree. The undead creatures that came out from the floating door in the air helped. The wild beasts were being routed!
It was unbelievable but it was happening!
...
Ten minutes passed.
The battle stopped.
Su Ping was standing next to a beast whose fur was drenched in blood. The beast was dozens of meters tall and its fur was as hard as steel needles. That beast had been chopped to pieces, beyond dead.
Su Ping looked into the distance; he could no longer hear the beasts.
With him at the center, a large area was an ocean of blood with mountains of corpses!
There had to be hundreds of thousands of them!
The light of the early morning sun was cast onto Su Ping and onto the blood, glistening!
Su Ping was panting. He stuck his sword onto the beast and sat down. He had overwhelmed the beasts but to kill that many of them within that short time had exhausted him.
Whoosh!
The white bones turned into a glow and transformed back into the Little Skeleton. The little fellow stood next to Su Ping.
Maintaining the merged state was tiring for both Su Ping and the Little Skeleton. Even though the Little Skeleton could turn blood into astral powers, it was still hard to recover physically and mentally in the midst of battle.
Phew!
Su Ping exhaled in relief. He wiped the blood off his hands on his armor, which he had gotten from the old dragon king. It was quite the strong Void State artifact; it had several special effects.
Having cleaned the blood off his hands, Su Ping took out his phone and texted his location. “I’m here right now. Where is the swarm of beasts closest to me on the north side?”
Back in the command center, Gu Siping—who was busy mobilizing the titled battle pet warriors—was surprised by Su Ping’s message. He looked at the location and replied, “You are right where the swarm of beasts was. Have you made contact with them?”
“I’ve already defeated them,” Su Ping said. His weariness wasn’t evident in his tone.
Gu Siping stood in a daze for a second. He signaled a legendary battle pet warrior to look at the reports being sent from the north side.
Soon, the map showed up.
Gu Siping’s face turned pale. The beast tide was no longer there!
So, Su Ping had routed those beasts, all by himself?!
He remembered that there was a level 9 beast swarm over there!
Gu Siping took a deep breath; he was even more wary of Su Ping after such an outcome. However, since that was a time when all talents were required to be on deck and he had not heard back from the Tower, he knew that the more powerful Su Ping was, the better it would be for him and the human society.
“Nicely done,” Gu Siping praised and continued, “How are you feeling? If you can continue, there’s a level 8 group of beasts on the move three hundred and fifty thousand meters to your left. The beasts may soon move elsewhere but I think you can find them.”
Su Ping said nothing; he simply hung up the call.
Gu Siping heard his phone beep.
A glint of coldness flashed past his eyes. He refocused his mind on what they were talking about before....
After the call ended, Su Ping stood up from the dead beast he was sitting on.
He pulled out the sword from the place he had left it.
“All right, time for the next round!” Su Ping said to the Dark Dragon Hound resting next to him.
The Dark Dragon Hound wiggled and changed into dragon form.
Su Ping looked at the Little Skeleton; once again, it turned into a white blur and merged with Su Ping. Ferocious white bones grew out from Su Ping again.
Whoosh!
Su Ping hopped onto the Dark Dragon Hound and flew to his left with the Inferno Dragon.
He would get there in about five minutes.
Five minutes was a short time but he was still far away from the wild beasts. It was still too far for him to sense them.
...
While Su Ping was hurrying to the next battleground, other people were hustling and bustling in other areas.
“Class A titled battle pet warriors of the third legion, come with me to the northwest side. We need to help our legendary battle pet warriors!” A middle-aged titled battle pet warrior stood on a ninth-rank Dragon Eagle. His determined voice boomed.
Facing him on the plaza was a dense crowd.
All of them were at the titled rank!
They were from different base cities and even other continents... They were the last titled battle pet warriors that humans had!
Class A titled battle pet warriors were those who were at the later position of the titled rank. Class B referred to the intermediate position of the titled rank. The pin that the middle-aged man wore indicated that he was from the Tang family, the most powerful family on the continent!
The man was Tang Zhanlin’s second brother. He was at the peak of the titled rank!
Over twenty titled battle pet warriors at the later position answered his call.
The middle-aged man looked at them and shouted, “Come with me. Let’s go!”
“Yes!” the twenty titled battle pet warriors shouted at the same time. They were no longer the big shots that people respected. They were just soldiers.
The middle-aged man
