Beast Taming: the More the Better Chapter 574 - 266: The Torrential Pear Blossom Sword! Qin Erlong, Who Doubted His Life!
Qin Erlong’s eyelids were twitching.
It had started when little Paperman Qian Yi had activated the third gear, and the Sword of Earth and the Sword of Fire instantly killed the frosty narcissus plant creature.
Then, the trembling spread, becoming his entire eyelid.
And now, as this indescribably abstract little Paperman activated the fifth gear, carrying the Sword Box that resembled a cannon barrel, not only Qin Erlong’s eyelid but half of his face was quivering.
Qin Erlong stared intently at the little Paperman.
Because at that moment, Su Ping also realized the function of the Sword Box that Qian Yi was carrying.
He finally discovered that the Sword Box seemed to be something little Paperman had been researching these past few days.
What was strange though, was that the swords used just now hadn’t come from the Sword Box but were drawn from another sheath resembling that of Left Thousand Households.
Yes, through the Eye of Truth, Su Ping saw that this Paper Sword Box wasn’t made with any device.
Instead, it was made using Papermen.
Moreover, the number of Papermen used in the assembly even exceeded his imagination.
[Five Elements Sword Box (Paperman · Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth 2*5 Assembly Form)]
[Attribute: Undead, Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth]
[Current Level: Commander Seventh Rank]
[Racial Potential: Commander Seventh Rank (Special form, determined by the assembly level)]
[Skills: ...Five Elements Energy Sword (Assembly Form Exclusive Skill)]
[Five Elements Energy Sword (Assembly Form Exclusive Skill): Infuse with energy, can stimulate corresponding Sword Qi!]
From the viewpoint of the Eye of Truth, this assembled form was actually quite ordinary.
But Papermen were such a miraculous species.
An assembly form might be quite simple, and even the effect of the Five Elements Sword Box could be described as insignificant and weak.
Because those ten Papermen were far less efficient than simply assembling three Paper Swords.
And they were nowhere near as versatile or flexible.
The power they exerted in the hands of a little Paperman didn’t even need to be mentioned.
Su Ping blinked.
Since the start of the experiments with the Five Elements Paper Diagram, Qian Yi had always been an observer.
Pet Beasts are not fools, not fixed pseudo-AI.
They are not just battle tools that execute their master’s commands.
They are living creatures, partners with the ability to think for themselves.
Qian Yi’s self-awareness and intelligent soul were born from the resources of two Holy Spirits, using the Paperman species as a vessel.
In this aspect, Qian Yi possessed absolute talent and unimaginable wisdom.
Su Ping let out a long breath.
And now, the little guy had brought out its results.
The dark Sword Box, resembling a cannon barrel, made not only the others but even Su Ping purse his lips.
He glanced at the person next to him, whose gaze on him was already starting to seem a bit off.
So, he asked Qin Erlong:
"Old Qin, will the Secret Realm be alright?"
Qin Erlong halted his rapidly twitching eyelid, no longer so certain:
"The Myriad Flowers Queen is my Pet Beast, and I’ve always kept her in the Myriad Flowers Secret Realm to shape it. Her Realm has long reached Emperor Peak, and as long as the Myriad Flowers Queen’s Origin remains, the Myriad Flowers Secret Realm won’t be in trouble. So, it shouldn’t be a problem... right?"
Su Ping glanced over.
Meanwhile, Xiao Qianyi, who had long been poised for action, finally unleashed the surging energy within the Five Elements Sword Box. This eruption was triggered as its internal Five Elements Circulation, already operating at Fifth Gear, reached a crescendo:
"UWAA! (Here it comes... Qian Yi’s Secret Technique - Torrential Pear Blossom Sword!)"
Su Ping pursed his lips, no time to mock the name, because fireworks had already started sparkling before his eyes.
As expected, from the Sword Box, with a burst of energy, a blade of Sword Qi shot forth in an instant.
It was a blade composed purely of fire elemental energy, pure Sword Qi.
The fiery red Sword Qi flitted by swiftly.
But before the meteor-tail-like Sword Qi could reach its target, the next blade of Sword Qi swiftly followed.
From fire comes earth, and the next blade was shaped from rock Sword Qi.
After that, the Sword of Gold, Sword of Water, and Sword of Wood.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
At this moment, Qian Yi was not a Paper Immortal Swordsman with a long sword in hand.
Rather, it was an armed thug with a rocket launcher on its shoulder.
"UWAA! UWAA! UWAA! UWAA! UWAA!"
Amidst Qian Yi’s excited cries, strands of Sword Qi, bursting out in the form of Five Elements Paper Diagram energy, exploded upon the Emperor Peony with resounding blasts.
Explosions!
Familiar explosions!
Sang Sheng turned his head away. He couldn’t bear to watch.
Qin Erlong was utterly dumbfounded by the sight before him.
Of course, the energy of the Five Elements Paper Diagram was not truly infinite.
But from its operational speed, it was clear the load wasn’t heavy. In fact, because it operated so quickly and the amount of energy generated per cycle was relatively small, it seemed this bombardment wouldn’t show signs of exhaustion anytime soon.
The next moment, a wall condensed from petals rose before the Emperor Peony. The Emperor Peony, battered from the bombardment, with some petals pierced through, finally emerged, along with the Myriad Flowers Queen upon it.
The Myriad Flowers Queen was furious!
However, the Myriad Flowers Queen’s personality was clearly different from Da Huang’s.
All she could do was muster her strength to hold up the wall of flowers and see if she could engage in combat by controlling her other floral bodies.
But to no avail, the opponent’s concentrated firepower was just too overwhelming.
Unless she activated those two skills tied closely to the Secret Realm, it’d be difficult to counterattack in a short time.
However, those two skills could only be used when facing external invaders.
Therefore, the Myriad Flowers Queen could only crouch resentfully behind the wall of flowers, simultaneously questioning her life choices and reflecting on whether she had been too complacent these years.
And at this time, it was obvious the Myriad Flowers Queen had not seen the life-questioning gaze of her master.
Qin Erlong stared intently at Su Ping.
