Astral Pet Store – Chapter 199
Without wasting any time playing around with words, Su Ping ordered his pet to kill.
Sensing Su Ping killing intent, the Hell Dragon took a step forward while exposing its aura completely. It has spent too much time in “mode stealth” so it is very excited to go.
The dragon had reached adulthood not long before, but back then, the desire for blood emanating from its form was as strong as an experienced dragon that had gone through countless battles.
Similarly, the Dark Dragon Hound was also fully concentrated. Without Su Ping telling him, it applied five protective barriers to the Hell Dragon.
This, added to the scales and fire mantle of the Inferno Dragon itself, produced the same level of defense found in the top rank nine dragon-type pets.
Zhuo Fengqun and Senior Feng slightly wavered after seeing the Inferno Dragon's body almost shining like a rainbow.
Pet warriors usually do not teach their pets too many survival skills, unless the pet is working as a defender in a team. Defender pets could not even remove five kinds of barriers at the same time. They will have trouble getting past the protection of the dragon, that's for sure. “What's with the dog??” someone shouted out in protest. “I've never heard of Dark Dragon Hound surviving!”
The Hell Dragon cried out, sending out its threatening desire towards its enemies; this could instantly cripple any creature with a weaker mentality.
Senior Feng and Zhuo Fengqun gasped again as the two of them were startled by the roar of the dragon. They had previously believed that this dragon was not yet mature enough to frighten true fighting pet warriors.
Tang Ruyan had always been a brave child in a family that had received a lot of special training where she would deal with a dragon-type opponent or even the Beast King up close. However, he also felt greatly affected by the intimidation of the Hell Dragon.
Some of their guards were daydreaming with trembling legs as they could no longer think clearly.
“Dragon tower... It feels almost exactly like the desire inside the dragon tower,” said a man.
Sure oes. Thanks to Su Ping, the Hell Dragon had spent most of its childhood right inside the dragon tower while being constantly feared by the soul of the ancient dragon king. It couldn't completely imitate the dragon king's aura, but it was close.
The Hell Dragon spouted rays of fire while its enemies were left wide open to attack.
Senior Feng immediately released a spirit shock around him.
“Wake up and move!”
The spirit shock managed to get people out of their stunned state.
Zhuo Fengqun quickly stepped in front of Tang Ruyan to protect her. But as soon as he moved, he saw something black flashed in his eyes.
“What-“
His astral perception constantly monitored the area, meaning that no one making an approach would escape his detection. Yet…
“This thing can teleport!”
Zhuo Fengqun felt cold sweat all over his skin when he saw the small skeleton near his face. Due to instinct, he coated his body under the sturdy barrier of astral force, while at the same time he unsheathed his sword. But the Small Skeleton is faster. Enchanted with the dark energy, his bone blades easily tore through Zhuo Fengqun's personal weapon like a knife through butter.
Zhuo Fengqun watched with widened eyes as the black blade drew closer.
His astral barrier had no effect. The bone bar sank into his skull and split his head into two halves without slowing down in the slightest.
Everyone in the surroundings gaped as a gigantic splash of blood announced the death of one of their strongest members.
A battle-titled pet fighter, killed in a second.
Zhuo Fengqun was only a lower level nine warrior, but he was still at the ninth rank. People thought he should at least put up a fight.
Tang Ruyan looked at the split head falling on her feet and her legs failing, sitting down in fear. Even though he still managed to force himself to remain calm.
Without thinking twice, he immediately opened his pet room and called out all the pets he had brought along, including two top-eight rank pets and one lower rank nine pet. These are all rare pets given by his family, with a rank nine pet being his main assailant.
Fallen Angel. Demon type.
The creature really looked like an angel if no one cared about the deep purple mist hovering around its black shape, and those black wings.
The Fallen Angel flapped its four pairs of wings and slowly descended in front of Tang Ruyan, while carefully staring at the Hell Dragon with its pitch-black eyes. It held two weapons in its hands — antique-looking swords and chains made of heavy and dark metal, both of which were found in space faults.
Each of these treasures were as precious as a rank nine dragon-type Astral Pet. The Fallen Angel had spent a lot of money to prepare and take care of Tang Ruyan. Naturally, it was his best partner. Using the available treasures, this Astral Pet could easily fend off medium ninth level enemies. Or he could just run away, as long as he did not fight the Beast King.
Having such a pet was the reason why Tang Ruyan remained confident and proud among her friends. Fallen Angels are strong enough to kill titled fighting pet fighters if necessary. It was all thanks to his superior spirit level that allowed him to control a pet two ranks higher than himself. Everyone in his family had recognized him as a true genius because of that.
Next to him, Senior Feng had also recovered from his shock and quickly summoned three giant pets, he said, including the ninth rank sub-dragon type Wyrm Worm that looked like a monster earthworm with a length of over a hundred meters.
The worm sank to the ground, moving under Tang Ruyan's position and swallowing her.
Seeing Tang Ruyan protected, Senior Feng ordered her two remaining pets — Tempest Dryad rank nine top and Hell Robber rank nine peak — to engage the Hell Dragon.
Once the Tempest Dryad reached the ground, it created countless vines and whips to ensnare the Hell Dragon.
The Hell Marauder was a humanoid demon-type pet that was proficient in raw power attacks. As it was enveloped in the intense flames of hell, it attacked the Hell Dragon that was holding a sharp spear.
The Dark Dragon Hound raised several barriers around him and lunged at the incoming plants. The dark flames around his body and the several fireballs he summoned made the green work quickly.
The plant is naturally prone to fire, not to mention that the dog has learned how to release black hellfire, which is several times more deadly than ordinary fire. The Tempest Dryad Trap is useless.
Senior Feng grimaced as he had just recognized the fireball; it was an extremely rare fire-type skill that was only available to highly trained fire-type pets. But as far as he could see, the dog was of the demonic type.
“The pet is too weird. Kill the owner first!” Senior Feng quickly thought of a better option and gave orders to his Devil Shadow.
The Devil Shadow acknowledged the order and disappeared into his own shadow to prepare for the murder. By doing this, he could approach his target undetected and destroy the enemy leader in an instant, which was a very common tactic Senior Feng used in battle.
The impact point exploded, after which Devil Shadow was forced to flee from his hiding place. There was a huge bloody wound behind his back.
The Little Skeleton's jaw creaked open as if it was grinning. The air around his body became blurry as a huge silhouette appeared behind his back.
Roars!
It was a Deadly Roar skill, which had been strengthened by the Little Skeleton double.
Those present felt an even worse will strike their minds, seemingly stronger than the Hell Dragon. Even the Purple Python Su Ping slightly snapped after hearing Little Skeleton's sonic attack. It had spent quite a lot of time with the Little Skeleton during its training, however, it could never be used for it.
The Devil Shadow almost felt his soul tremble in fear when he saw the projections of the Little Skeleton. It immediately turned around and ran.
Before Devil Shadow could hide into his own shadow again, the Little Skeleton teleported next to him and slashed again. This time, the gigantic shadow behind the Little Skeleton also moved in sync and released a powerful sword aura that seemed to cut through space and time.
The Demon Shadow froze on the spot after seeing the attack coming.
Bumped!
His entire shoulder was thrown by the sword attack. The excruciating pain made him come to his senses from a daze, as he rushed back to Senior Feng's side, screaming in fear.
Senior Feng did not show any particular reaction after seeing his pet escape in defeat, as he was too shocked to do so. Seeing the skeleton Su Ping had reminded him of the day when he met the Beast King for the first time.
No. gabe. It's worse than that.
“What is that thing..?”
The Little Skeleton did not give Senior Feng time to ask. In the next instant, he teleported next to her and raised his bone blade.
The tingling sensation on his forehead reminded Senior Feng to immediately do something. Desperate, he asked his Demon Shadow to take him and dodge the attack.
Senior Feng could no longer persuade himself to see Little Skeleton again, as he was afraid that the strange shadow would continue to make him lose his spirit.
“That teleportation” attack reminded him of the deadly killing skill used by a certain Beast King. Although, he knew that the strange skeleton was neither the Beast King, nor that he was dead.
In the distance, Senior Feng stared at where Su Ping was staying while his mind was filled with fear, anger, and hatred.
“I don't know where you're from. But I can't let you live. Either you or me today!”
Using his astral power, he released a sharp surge of energy and threw it at Su Ping.
Su Ping hid behind the scales of the python. He had moved to a safer place as soon as the battle began.
The nail hit the scales and managed to make a small hole in it. But it has lost most of its momentum in the process. After reaching Su Ping, it was stopped by the barrier thrown by the Dark Dragon Hound.
Senior Feng grimaced as he felt the feedback from his attack. He had just realized that he had underestimated the hardness of the python scales. Without them, Su Ping would be severely injured.
After a quick decision, Senior Feng prepared a secret art that only the direct descendants of the Tang Family knew.
“Siphon Soul!”
From his eyes, a puff of black smoke appeared and headed towards Su Ping.
“You'll be down today!” Senior Feng shouted furiously as he controlled the spiritual attack from a distance. “You can't be a top-nine rank war pet warrior, or the whole world must have heard of it. And if you are below that level, I can kill your spirit!”
Smoke passed through the Purple Python scales and the dog barrier, before it entered Su Ping's head.
But once inside, it crashed into another golden barrier. By consuming most of his energy, smoke entered through the barrier, only to get trapped inside the strange lantern, which quickly consumed him.
After which, smoke managed to escape from the lantern and saw Su Ping spirit core right in front.
However, before Su Ping spirit left, a bright shadow of a golden bird suddenly appeared and howled.
The deafening sound of birds combined with the dazzling light dissipated the rest of the smoke.
“*Batuk* ARRRRGH—”.
Outside, Senior Feng started bleeding through his eyes and nostrils. He wildly clawed his face uncontrollably.
Meanwhile, the Little Skeleton had already attacked him again. While his pet—Dayan Devil—was too afraid to act.
Poof!
The quick and simple piece removed Senior Feng's head from his body.
Losing their pet contract, Shadow Shadow's survival instincts got better as it escaped into the distance.
The Tempest Dryad saw the corpse of its master. It let out a sad cry, then created a flowerbed that engulfed Senior Feng's body before sinking to the ground and disappearing.
The Dark Dragon Hound joined the Inferno Dragon to fight Hell Marauder together, while the Little Skeleton turned to face the remaining guards of the Tang Family.
