Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 1349 - 551: Return to the Legion! Su Ping is Back!

What the entire Northern Border Legion could never have expected was that the hidden danger of the Heavenly Tomb—which had troubled everyone’s minds for so long—and the Ghost Tide that had been attacking for a full half-year, were both resolved by Su Ping in just a single day.

At this moment, within the Northern Border Legion, Leng Ye, who hadn’t slept all night, rested his head against his shoulder, reclining in a large chair inside the command center. He stared at the satellite’s bird’s-eye view of the Heavenly Tomb.

Even though he had reassured himself countless times in his heart, at this moment, this Ghost Saint—who had seen so much of life and death and endured countless hardships—found his fingers trembling slightly. He stared unblinkingly at the satellite map, desperately trying to pierce through the image to figure out exactly what was happening inside.

However, many of those present—including Yin Luo and Su Anyong—knew that this was merely an act of self-deception. The isolation of the Heavenly Tomb could not possibly be seen through clearly from here.

Yet, soon enough, everyone’s pupils contracted slightly. At the thin edge of the black mist, a silhouette appeared.

Leng Ye and the commanders of the various legions present were incredibly familiar with this figure. The massive blade, along with the single scarlet eye upon it, undeniably proclaimed its identity. It was the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword!

That terrifying Spirit Saint Level High Rank Undead Series Pet Beast! It was also one of the ultimate masterminds behind this Northern Border Ghost Tide. At this thought, Leng Ye’s face instantly darkened. Clearly, everyone also realized what was going on.

"Damn it, I was wondering why these Undead died down last night. I thought they were intimidated by the Holy Dragon. Turns out they just changed their habits and decided to strike during the day!" a legion commander, whose eyes were equally red from staying up all night, said angrily.

But compared to them, Leng Ye’s reaction was much more extreme. He abruptly stood up, his face becoming incredibly grim. In fact, no one present had ever seen this leader look so dark. Leng Ye exhaled a long breath. His Spirit Fluctuation was mingled with a faint trace of deathly ripples. He then surveyed the room and said:

"Keep an eye out. We’ve been planning our strategy for so long, so you should all know what to do by now!

"Damn it, do these things really think we’re afraid of them? They still won’t give it a rest at a time like this, huh? Perfect! Didn’t that little brat Su Ping say before that he wanted to use this thing’s shell for his Pet Beast’s Evolution? I, his second grandpa, haven’t taken action for our kid in a long time. I’ll slaughter this thing first, and when Su Ping comes out, I’ll give it to him as a congratulatory gift!"

His words contained a killing intent that made everyone tremble in fear. As a Spirit Saint Level powerhouse from the Legion with a unique past, Leng Ye had taken countless lives—both humans and Ferocious Beasts alike. After speaking, he turned and left. He didn’t even mobilize the exclusive Sky-splitter fighter jet. Instead, from the sky above the command center, even with mechanical barriers in the way, an extremely gloomy dragon roar echoed out.

The Ghost Dragon had appeared!

Clearly, everyone present knew that the appearance of the Ghost Dragon meant the Ghost Saint was truly enraged this time. Or rather, after sitting dryly in the command center all night, worrying about that little ancestor without being able to do anything about it, he was now fuming with pent-up frustration like a caged beast.

In contrast, Su Anyong, who was sitting nearby, maintained an unwavering expression. Under such circumstances, naturally, no one dared to say anything. The Commander of the First Legion, who was temporarily acting as head of command, nodded. He glanced around and said, "In that case, have your subordinates get ready to respond to any sudden situations at a moment’s notice. We absolutely cannot afford any chaos at a time like this!"

However, despite his orders, everyone’s eyes largely remained fixed on the monitor displaying the sector where the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword had appeared. They wanted to witness the clash between the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword and the Ghost Saint.

What was the top flight speed of a Spirit Saint Level powerhouse? They soon found out.

In just a little over three minutes, Leng Ye—who had just been in the sky above the command center right before their eyes—rode upon a cloud of black mist that seemed to share the same origin as the Heavenly Tomb, arriving not far from the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword. A distance of dozens of kilometers was covered in mere minutes.

Atop the black mist, Leng Ye’s pupils had—at some unknown point—become exactly the same as those of the Ghost Dragon beneath his feet. The whites and pupils of his eyes were indistinguishable; there was only a strikingly demonic and piercing red glow. Within that crimson light, apart from icy coldness, lay a completely undisguised, frenzied killing intent. Without a second thought, he steered the Ghost Dragon beneath him straight into the black mist of the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land.

"ROAR!"

A terrifying roar made the Sky Dome tremble. It also startled the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, which had been carving its way forward, causing it to freeze in place. Its massive, solitary scarlet vertical pupil blinked as it gazed up at the Ghost Dragon and Leng Ye within the black mist in the sky.

However, Leng Ye didn’t utter a word and launched an attack without hesitation! A pitch-black chain shot out from the black mist in an instant, lunging violently toward the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword.

The Impermanence Chain! This was one of the Death Element’s three-piece set Skills from the Dragon City’s Burial Ground legacy, which Leng Ye had once mentioned to Su Ping back in the Imperial Capital: the Impermanence Chain, the Judge Pen, and the Yama Command.

CLANG CLANG!

The Supreme Evil Spirit Sword was no pushover, either. The moment the Impermanence Chain appeared, the sword slashed it away, its blade erupting with a brilliant red glow. The clash of metal prompted Leng Ye to unleash his full power without a second thought.

"Ghost God Descent!"

Instantly, the Ghost Dragon looked as though it were draped in fresh blood. The boundless Death Energy seemed to converge onto its body in this single moment. The Supreme Evil Spirit Sword showed no sign of weakness, either. Across its blade, densely packed blood-red eyes—several times smaller than the central eye—popped open. The sheer volume of them was enough to make anyone deeply uncomfortable at a single glance.

"You still dare to resist? You’re courting death! Yama Command!" Leng Ye’s voice rang out. The murderous aura formed by the Death Energy within the entire Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land completely assembled at this moment, swirling together like a massive vortex. Simultaneously, the countless eyeballs on the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword widened, glaring at the Ghost Dragon.

At this split second, a voice echoed from behind the black mist: "Evil Spirit Sword! Leng Ye?"

To Leng Ye, this voice sounded like heavenly music. Yet, he furrowed his brow, looking at the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword with a cold sneer, "You little ghost, you’ve got some tricks! You even have this kind of Spirit attack?"

Clearly, Leng Ye had mistaken it for an auditory hallucination caused by a Spirit attack. This undoubtedly angered another entity present.

"ROAR!"

A ferocious howl, countless times more terrifying than the Ghost Dragon’s earlier roar, tore through the air. In that instant, not to mention the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword, even the Ghost Dragon flying in the sky trembled uncontrollably. Both completely lost their ability to resist under the sheer force of the roar. In the next second, a Bai Hu darted out from the mist, appearing right before their eyes...

Inside the command center.

After waiting for a long time without seeing any invading Ghost Tide, everyone simply refocused their attention back on Leng Ye’s situation. Unfortunately, since Leng Ye had ridden his Ghost Dragon straight into the Heavenly Tomb Forbidden Land, they could no longer see clearly what was happening. They could only observe the surging, turbulent Death Energy within the death mist via the satellite view, which was enough to imagine the intensity of the fierce battle unfolding inside.

However, what made everyone feel quite uneasy was that, soon enough, all movements from within ceased completely. Just as many could no longer sit still and were preparing to send someone in to check, everyone’s eyes suddenly went wide.

The first thing to emerge was actually the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword. Then, Leng Ye walked out, causing everyone to breathe a sigh of relief. But what almost made their eyeballs pop out next was the fact that the Supreme Evil Spirit Sword—which should have been completely incompatible with them like fire and water—was now floating right in front of the Ghost Dragon. Although it seemed slightly provocative, the Ghost Dragon didn’t make a move to attack. Instead, they were walking out together?

What the hell was going on?

Soon, they understood exactly what had happened. A giant Bai Hu appeared, and Su Ping, riding on its neck, emerged from the black mist.
