Astral Pet Store – Chapter 703
“Do not again!”
“That's the man!”
“I would say he came at the right time. Lord Blood Wings will eat it! ”
“I'll eat that human dragon!”
Several Void State beast kings saw Su Ping and his pet approaching, furious and excited.
Su Ping made no attempt to hide his momentum. After all, those in the Void State could not be taken lightly; some of those who were more skilled in perception could even detect the hiding Fate beings. There was also the fact that Su Ping was only at the title rank.
There are more of them.
Su Ping stared at the endless swarm of ferocious beasts from the sky. The ferocious beasts that were directed had gathered with the others.
Su Ping's killing intent surged. If they had the guts to come, he would have the guts to kill them all!
whusssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!
In an instant, flames and ice walls shot out from the crowd of beasts. From the ground grew many hills that tore open ground.
The poisonous vines wrapped around the hill, and then the vines attacked Su Ping.
The hills have some delicate and charming flowers. However, a row of poisonous arrows shot out from the flowers.
Those attacks blotted out the sky and covered the earth. The Dark Dragon Hound barked and added many layers of defense to Su Ping and Inferno Dragon.
Many legendary rank defense skills were so diverse that many of the beast kings who saw this were astonished.
Many types of energy collided with each other, creating an explosion. Su Ping and the Hell Dragon growled and charged towards the beast together.
Roaring!!!
The Hell Dragon cried to the sky. His presence alone had fascinated the beasts.
No ferocious beast would forget the dragon as it soared in the sky, glaring like the sun.
The average beast was so frightened that they fell to the ground and trembled. Those among them with less violent nature were almost paralyzed, wetting themselves.
“Open the gate to the world of the undead!” Su Ping shouted. Astral power surged out from him. A primitive door began to appear in the air behind him, becoming increasingly real. As one looked through the door, it seemed like there was something frightening looking down into the mortal world.
Two dark skeletal hands grabbed the door frame as they pulled the body of the owner out.
It was the door to the undead world. The undead will come out of there!
Since Su Ping had joined the Small Skeleton, he was also able to use the Small Skeleton skill. That was the advantage of the battle pet warrior joining the battle pet.
Bom~!!
Door opens. Something on the other side was opening the door.
The next instant, profound energy from the undead gushed out from the door. The sky behind Su Ping turned dark. Dark clouds gathered; even the atmosphere became gripping.
After a while, silence, many soldiers riding skeletal dragons ran out. Those soldiers—who shouted and ran towards the beast—looked like ancient giants.
Many balls of darkness came out of the door. They circled in the air and descended into the crowd, and then a certain mist started to emerge from the ferocious beast. Their skin shrank; it was as if their life force was sucked out!
“Come!!” Su Ping shouted and flew to the ferocious beast.
He was one person, but he was as strong as a large number of cavalry and warriors!
“What the hell is that? I can't believe he can open a portal to the undead world!”
“Yes God, what skill is it? Is he an undead creature?”
“Damn it, I feel there is something scary inside that door is staring at us, and it will come out anytime!”
The beast kings were frightened by what they saw.
Suddenly, they heard an indifferent snort. “Huh!”
All the animals felt their hearts beating fast. Every beast sensed it differently, but all the beasts realized that the terror in their hearts was being lightened!
In the next instant, the blue sky above the swarm of beasts turned red!
A large, blood-red creature came out from among the thousands of ferocious beasts. The creature shouted loudly and ran towards Su Ping who was carrying out a massive killing.
“This Wings Blood Master!”
“Master of Blood Wings is here! It was too late for that human to escape!”
The beast kings were very happy to see that blood-red creature.
They no longer referred to Su Ping as a small creature, but a human. Su Ping actions had made the monsters recognize his race.
“Country of Destiny?”
Su Ping saw the blood red giant heading towards him. The fact that the giant was in the Fate Country did not make him shocked or surprised.
When he says that he will guard the north side, he is ready to fight the Fate State creatures.
The Little Skeleton and Inferno Dragon had yet to defeat the Fate State beast king. However, the Little Skeleton was almost immortal by relying on the inherent skills of the skeleton king!
Even those in the Fate Country were unable to kill the Little Skeleton. The case example was the Thousand-Eyed Demon Beast in the Corridor.
Now that he was joining the Little Skeleton, his combat power had increased drastically. He can fight the beast king of the Fate State!
Whooshing sound!
The Blood Wing ran out from the red mist. It was a ferocious beast with four blood-red wings that gave off a scorching heat. It also has three golden feathers on its head, which can be counted as a secret weapon!
“Look at him. Is he the so-called Tower Master of humans? Huh!”
The Blood Wing stared at Su Ping with its golden eyes. Suddenly, he flapped his wings violently and several fireballs came out, circling around. The color of the flame is different from the average type.
Meanwhile, Su Ping felt the space around him move. The next second, he found himself right in front of the fireball.
Fold Space!
It was a skill that could be used by those in the Fate Country to manipulate space.
Such an attack would render many people unconscious, but not for Su Ping. He only had too much experience in fighting against Fate State beasts.
They always do this to bring their enemies closer together. There is nothing new!
Su Ping sneered. It seemed like he had already anticipated meeting that fireball in person. He unsheathed his sword and infused it with dark Ashura Energy to slash through the air!
Bang. The fireball split in two!
Fire disappeared. The energy structure that supported the fireball was destroyed!
Lord Blood Wings put on a grim look after seeing the piece.
“Destruction of Phoenix!”
The Blood Wing flew higher in the sky. The red mist grew thicker as the beast released more energy, blasting out a virtual bird-shaped wave in the next second. As it slid through the bend, the blast wave moved towards Su Ping.
The bird-shaped attack also flapped its wings. Space is spinning, which is the result of stinging heat.
Su Ping felt that the space around him had been fixed, preventing him from teleporting. He was still weaker than the Fate State creature in terms of space manipulation; he had to free himself by force!
However, Su Ping did not plan on cutting open space to free himself.
“Kill!!”
Su Ping opened his cold glittering eyes!
Astral power was boiling within him.
He went to the north side not to run, but to fight!
He would keep the northern side safe so that the last line of defense of the continent was not surrounded from all sides!
He drew his sword!
Rumbling sounds echoed in the sky. In the next instant, all the light around Su Ping disappeared, as if extinguished. The space around the sword became pitch-black.
The destruction!
Empty Sword!
“Come!!”
Su Ping raised his head and looked at the Blood Wings above him in the sky. He slashed the bird. A ray of sword light pierced through everything on the road!
The frozen space shattered into pieces, leaving a mark in the air!
The bird-shaped blast wave was halved by that beam of sword light!
The most shocking thing was, the sword light beam did not stop there; it had reached the Blood Wings in an instant.
“No, I don't believe it..”.
The round eyes of the Blood Wings were filled with disbelief.
He could not imagine how that supernatural power came from that human; such power should only be possessed by those at the Star Rank. That was the power that the Blood Wing wanted to attain!!
Is this human in the Star Rankings?
The next second, the huge beast was unable to conjure a single thought!
Bang. The Blood Wing cracked from the middle; its head and chest were split open. It felt as if the world had lost color in that scene.
After which, blood flowed over the ferocious beasts that were swarming on the ground.
The dozens of beast kings who were patiently waiting for the Blood Wings froze on the spot. One second before they were startled by the blast wave. The next instant revealed such a scene.
What the hell just happened?
The beast kings found that they could hardly think.
It was Lord Blood Wings!
A king of beasts in the Country of Destiny! How could a human possibly kill Lord Blood Wings with a single slash!!
It's hideous!
All the beast kings felt their hearts racing and their minds dazed. They can't think.
Phew!
Su Ping breathed a sigh of relief while still in the air. His mind was getting a little tired.
He looked away from the corpse of Blood Wing. Without any hesitation, he swooped down to face the herd of beasts.
The Void Sword he learned in the Golden Crow world was a skill of his own creation, which had some integrated destructive rules. He had tried it before; the average Fate State beast king was unable to survive!
That was why he was brave enough to go to the north side alone!
Of course, he would lack confidence if the Fate State beast king was extremely strong or if some of them joined forces.
After all, he had to exert great strength to realize that skill. He could easily recover his energy by awakening at the cultivation location, but in real life, he could only use that sword attack three times! Even with the help of the Small Skeleton.
He had to finish Blood Wing as soon as possible.
Bom~!!
Su Ping dashed out, reaching supersonic speed. A shrill cry rang out; behind him you could see Blood Wings falling from the sky. A powerful being had become a thing of the past!
Bang out!
Su Ping threw himself into the beast crowd. He stomped on the ground and made it collapse; the nearby beast died. He rushed forward, smashing all the nearby ferocious beasts to death!
Kill, kill, kill!
Su Ping ran wildly and killed nonstop!
She was covered in blood, with disheveled hair. He holds a sword. The beast was overwhelmed with sorrow and terror!
“Rari. Run!”
“Why, but why? Lord Blood Wings is dead. Is this human..?”
“Soaring!!”
The beast kings in the crowd were mentally disturbed; they were no longer in any condition to fight. They chose to escape.
What Su Ping was doing back then was simply too frightening. He had killed what a beast admired with a single slash. He had also quelled their violence and courage!
That little human looked even scarier than the demons from hell!
The beasts instantly collapsed in chaos.
The beast king ran for their lives; su Ping targeted them specifically. As for the other ferocious beasts .. Su Ping would only stomp or crush them to death.
The man is aiming at the leaders!
The kings of the beasts fled and they also trampled many ferocious beasts to death by accident. The beasts were in chaos; they were crying and howling. It was as if the one facing the crisis was a savage beast, not a human!
Su Ping offered no way to survive. He managed to catch up with the Ocean State beast kings easily. After all, they had yet to learn space skills and were unable to teleport. They had some skills that could help their escape, but they were still not fast enough when Su Ping could teleport.
“Show me..”.
Some Ocean State animals are capable of speaking human language. They knelt down and tried to beg as Su Ping approached them.
However, Su Ping ran past the beast kings directly. In the next instant, there would be a very clean wound on the necks of the beast kings.
Su Ping knew that the ferocious beast was excited after seeing so many innocent and helpless people. None of them ever showed mercy!
He has to finish everything!
Behind him, Inferno Dragon and Dark Dragon Hound were also carrying out assassinations. The undead creature that came out from the door floating in the air helped. The beast is being directed!
It was unbelievable but it happened!
…
Ten minutes passed.
Fighting ceased.
Su Ping stood beside a beast whose fur was covered in blood. The beast was tens of meters tall and its fur was as hard as steel needles. The beast had been dismembered, beyond death.
Su Ping looked into the distance; he could no longer hear the ferocious beasts.
With him in the middle, the vast area was a sea of blood with a mountain of corpses!
There must be hundreds of thousands of them!
The light of the morning sun shone on Su Ping and blood, sparkling!
Su Ping gasped. He stuck his sword at the beast and sat down. He had defeated ferocious beasts but killing many of them in such a short period of time had exhausted him.
Whooshing sound!
The white bone turned into light and turned back into a Small Skeleton. The little one stood next to Su Ping.
Maintaining the combined state was exhausting for Su Ping and the Small Skeleton. Although the Little Skull could turn blood into astral power, it was still difficult to recover physically and mentally in the midst of battle.
Phew!
Su Ping sighed in relief. He wiped the blood from his hands on his armor, which he obtained from the old dragon king. It was a pretty powerful Void State artifact; it had some special effects.
After clearing the blood from his hands, Su Ping took out his phone and texted his location. “I'm here now. Where is the swarm of beasts closest to me on the north side?”
Back at the command center, Gu Siping—who was busy mobilizing pet fighters titled battle pet—was shocked by Su Ping's message. He looked at the location and replied, “You are right where the horde of animals are. Have you made contact with them? ”
“I've beaten them,” said Su Ping. His fatigue was invisible from his tone of voice.
Gu Siping stood in a daze for a moment. He beckoned a legendary warrior fighter to look at the report sent from the north side.
Soon, the map appeared.
Gu Siping's face turned pale. The waves of ferocious beasts were no longer there!
So, Su Ping had chased away the ferocious beast by himself?!
He remembered that there was a horde of tier 9 beasts there!
This person ... Gu Siping took a deep breath; he was even more wary of Su Ping after such an outcome. However, since it was a time when all talents were required to be on deck and he had not heard from the Tower, he knew that the stronger Su Ping was, the better for him and the human society.
“Good,” Gu Siping praised and continued, “How do you feel? If you can continue, there is a group of Level 8 beasts that are moving three hundred and fifty thousand meters to your left. That savage beast might soon move to another place, but I think you can find it.”
Su Ping did not say anything; he simply hung up the phone.
Gu Siping heard the beep of his phone. Truly a bastard. A cold glint flashed in his eyes. He refocused his mind on what they were talking about earlier.
…
After the call ended, Su Ping stood up from the dead beast he was sitting on.
He pulled out a sword from where he left it.
The Dark Dragon Hound wriggled and turned into the shape of a dragon.
Su Ping looked at the Little Skeleton; once again, it turned into a white blur and merged with Su Ping. A ferocious white bone grew from Su Ping again.
Whooshing sound!
Su Ping jumped onto the Dark Dragon Hound and flew to the left with the Inferno Dragon.
He'll be there in about five minutes.
Five minutes was a short time but he was still far from a savage beast. It was too far away for him to feel them.
…
While Su Ping rushed to the next battleground, others rushed and were busy in other areas.
“A-class fighting pets from the third legion, come with me to the northwest side. We need to help our legendary battle pet warrior!” A middle-aged battle pet warrior named stood above the ninth rank Dragon Eagle. His voice boomed.
Facing him in the square was a dense crowd.
Everything is in the titled!
They were from different base cities and even other continents. They were the last pet warriors that humans had!
The titled A-class battle pet warriors were those who were in the next position of the titled rank. Class B refers to the intermediate position of the titled rank. The pin the middle-aged man wore showed that he was from the Tang family, the most powerful family in the continent!
That man was Tang Zhanlin's second brother. He was at the top of the titled rankings!
More than twenty titled battlefighters in later positions answered his call.
The middle-aged man looked at them and shouted, “Come with me. Let's go!”
“Ya!” twenty titled battle pet warriors shouted at the same time. They were no longer great people that people respected. They're just soldiers.
The middle-aged man left with twenty titled pet fighters and rushed to their battlefield.
Immediately, an old man stepped up, also at the top of the titled stage. He glanced towards the people gathered in the square and shouted, “Class B battle pet fighters from the third legion, come with me! Let's go!”
“Ya!”
“Ya!!”
A legion of twenty titled battlefighters moved to the center of the square.
Meanwhile, at the command center.
The military adviser looked grim; the savage beast was too ferocious. Every party needs reinforcements. All the legendary fighting pet warriors are on the field!
The only ones left were Gu Siping and the legendary battle pet fighter in charge of sending messages.
The legendary fighting pet warrior must convey all the important messages. Gu Siping also had to stay there; he could not leave his command post for anything, unless the savage beast was too close to the defensive line.
“North side is fine but the other three sides can't last much longer!”
“We have two more legendary warriors who were injured and another one died!”
“Bastard comes faster and faster. Almost all Sentinel Stations and micro-communication stations have been destroyed. Half of the map has gone dark!”
The advisers carefully analyze the map, trying to find a solution.
Other than the north side that was still burning, the other side was already dark. They did not know what was happening there, nor did they know how many ferocious beasts were there.
“Master, I wonder if we should tell the legendary warriors in the north to come back and support the other party. We can reassign people to cover the north. To make them spin if you want. ”
A nervous middle-aged advisor said, “Other places are under great pressure. The man in the north has defeated several groups of ferocious beasts; we must consider that the other ferocious beasts coming from the sea have not arrived yet. How about we get that legendary battle pet warrior to go and help the other party? He could return to his northern position if more beasts appeared. ”
“Omong empty!” another advisor scolded the first one, “Those legendary fighting pet warrior fought alone there. Even though he was strong, he was still human. He's tired too, you know? How can you make it go somewhere else? He needs to rest. He needs to breathe!”
The middle-aged advisor answered nothing.
They initially thought that all legendary fighting pet fighters were as good as those in the north. They then realized that this was not the case.
The other side was supported by at least five legendary fighting pet fighters, yet they lost. On the other hand, one person in the north took care of all the ferocious beasts.
“Yes I agree. Legendary fighting pet warriors were indeed tired, they were not gods. That's the truth, another advisor's” added, “We can assign more work to those who are able, but we can't ask people who are able to work to death!”
The first advisor remained silent. He also did not want the soldiers in the north to end up exhausted. He would be more helpful in future battles if he could rest and recuperate.
Gu Siping shook his head. “The one in the north is in Fate State, just like me. Getting rid of the beast was not too difficult for him. I'll ask if he wants to move and help somewhere else.”
Tired up?
Gu Siping did not care whether Su Ping was tired or not.
Since he didn't want to stay in command and wanted to fight, then the fight would get him!
Whether Su Ping could survive or not, he would still benefit from the results. Su Ping could kill more beasts later if he managed to survive. On the other hand, if he were to die, Gu Siping would be happy to reduce the one problem one had to face after that crisis.
"Country of Fate?"
“Same as you?"
The advisers were surprised. They had no idea the legendary warriors in the north were that strong.
No wonder. He can take care of the north side alone!
That explains.
Gu Siping immediately contacted Su Ping.
“What are you there for? Several groups of ferocious beasts gathered in the east, merging into a level 9 herd. They can't handle it. They need your help.” This time, Gu Siping left a message for Su Ping instead of calling him. “The beast has not yet gone to the north side where you are. I will have others guard the area in case there are more of them on the way. ”
…
Up north.
Beeped…
Su Ping was resting after killing another group of ferocious beasts. He heard a beep and saw the message.
Personal message? What's he thinking…? Su Ping sneered. It was a very urgent matter, yet Gu Siping did not call. Gu Siping was obviously not afraid of disturbing Su Ping.
Even if Su Ping fought and was unable to answer the call, he would know that someone was trying to contact him; he would return the call as quickly as possible.
He would have missed that private message if he was in a battle.
After some thought, Su Ping called back, "You need reinforcements in the east, Right? I can go there. Ask a few people to keep an eye on the north side in the meantime.”
Gu Siping did not want to say anything out loud, but he could no longer hide it because it was Su Ping who called. He said directly, “Ya. Howareyou? Can you keep going?” He asked as if he cared.
The beep!
But the reply he received was a busy tone.
!!
Gu Siping swallowed his anger and pocketed his phone.
…
"Let's go."
Su Ping patted the bloodstained Black Dragon Hunter Dog. He jumped onto the back of the Black Dragon Hunter Dog. At the same time, he had the Hell Dragon and Little Skeleton to return to their contract room so that they could rest for a while.
The Black Dragon Hunter Dog did not bark; the fight was exhausting.
The pet dog flew in the direction Su Ping pointed out.
After about twenty minutes—
Su Ping reached the east side.
He saw chaos there.
There were hundreds of thousands of birds flying around. Riding each bird was one or two fighter fighters who were ranked eighth.
There was a titled combatant who was working to set up a formation in the distance.
There is a dense mass of animals. Su Ping could faintly see the end. There should be seven to eight hundred thousand ferocious beasts and most of them were advanced beasts.
“Xue Yunzhen!”
Su Ping looked at the person he knew. He was surrounded by ferocious beasts and the four battle pets around him were covered in blood.
Eight beast kings and many level nine beasts surrounded them. The savage beast used a long-range attack to blow up where Xue Yunzhen was standing.
More ferocious beasts surrounded the other two men not far from Xue Yunzhen, Ye Wuxiu and Jing Shen!
All three are in grave danger. Dozens of combatants titled in the air tried to disturb the beast, but they seemed too afraid to get close; they were unable to divert the beast
The roar!!
A beast king shouted. After that, a storm gathered above his head. The whip formed by the wind attacked, although Xue Yunzhen was not the target. They were savages intended for fighter-bombers titled in the sky!
As the king of beasts saw it, killing the titled combatant was like killing some insects.
That titled brawler is a shitty insect.
“Ya Lord..”.
An old man wearing a dark green robe was startled by the attack. He shouted at once, "Run!"
However, the wind whip had reached them.
Somewhere in the distance, fighting pets that were busy fighting against other beasts felt their masters were in danger. They rushed but it was too late.
Some fighting pets are so anxious that they are forced to use skills that are too difficult for them. They burned their lives!
Bang out!!
Suddenly, a dazzling ray of golden light dispersed the darkness and jumped before the titled combatants.
It was a big gold fist!
The blow spread a wind-based whip!
All the fighters are in a daze. A man covered in blood charged over. He flew past the stunned titled fighting fighter and headed straight for the swarm of beasts.
“Come out!”
Su Ping opened two rounds. The Little Skull and the Inferno Dragon came out.
The roar!!!
The Inferno Dragon let out a roar capable of shaking a large area!
That roar was disturbing the entire battlefield. Both humans and beasts felt the presence of the dragon!
The beast kings would inevitably turn their eyes to look at the dragon. They saw the dragon bathing in fire and standing on a bolt of lightning!
Merger!
Meanwhile, the Little Skull quietly merged with Su Ping.
Violent energy clumps scattered. Su Ping was holding his sword while covered in white bones; he was an evil demon who had entered the mortal world!
“Come!!!" Su Ping shouted and flew over to attack the beast king who formed a wind whip.
The beast king only existed in the Ocean State; wide-eyed, it felt like Su Ping's killing intent. How could a human be this cruel?!
Booms!!
Su Ping stepped on the beast king.
The head of the beast king was crushed and the ground collapsed. The other beast king nearby did not have enough time to react.
It happened too suddenly. Su Ping's appearance and the dragon's roar were completely unfathomable.
“Su Ping!”
“This is Mr Su!!”
Xue Yunzhen was terrified. He looked at Su Ping as he stepped on the beast king; it was shocking.
Su Ping had smashed the head of the mountain-sized beast king. The body of the beast king was also fractured. How awful!
Ye Wuxiu and Jing Shen also saw Su Ping. It was the first time they had seen in battle. They were happily shocked as well as stunned.
Even they felt a little afraid of Su Ping.
"Go to hell!!"
After finishing the beast king, he rushed over to deal with the others.
The king of beasts was in the Void State. The beast king growled, “Come and help me. Let's finish him off first!”
The beast king felt the pressure. Even before Su Ping broke the formation nearby, the beast king already knew that it was not strong enough to deal with humans!
The few beast kings in the crowd immediately froze the space. They wanted to hold Su Ping down like that!
The beast kings cooperated; they were unlike the beast kings Su Ping had encountered in the north.
Su Ping clearly felt his movements slowing down. Also, he could forcefully teleport.
"Destructive!!"
If the room is locked, he will open it!
Void Sword again!
Destructive forces are merging into the sword! Dark cracks appeared in the air at lightning speed. The crack was spread out in half the field!
The beast king who cried for help was halved!
Meanwhile, the nearby beast king had no time to escape; they were torn apart once a dark crack reached them. It was like an attack from another dimension!
That crack had opened up about eight beast kings!
Many more of the average kind have died.
One piece and countless ferocious beasts perished!
There was a soundless moment on the battlefield.
Everyone is dazed. They can't believe their eyes!
The beast kings were shocked as well.
Is that what a legendary fighter can do?!
One slash and he paved his way amidst the swarm of beasts!
That's scary!
Many monitoring eagles floated in the sky. The ferocious beasts did not pay attention to them because they did not have any signs of life.
The eagles recorded the battle and broadcast live to all the base cities.
Flying eagles were everywhere, aside from the northern side at this time.
The general public and the combatants who had not yet entered the battlefield; all of them were waiting anxiously in front of their TVs. They are praying.
Right now, everyone was looking at what Su Ping had done back then on TV. The scene caused a huge sensation!
People were stunned speechless. They were too nervous before, when the legendary fighter was captured by a savage beast. Some people were so desperate that they opened their coal gas tanks, preparing to commit suicide.
However, at that moment, the man appeared like a wish sent by a god. He's away from the fog. He has shown hope for everyone!
Those who are ready to commit suicide stop what they are doing at that time.
“She, she did that in the north..”.
In the command center, the advisers also saw it on screen.
They had seen what Su Ping had done in the north. They knew that Su Ping was gallant; he did not run wild among the beast kings. However, they had never seen him use this sword skill back then.
"That guy…"
Gu Siping also saw the video. He too, looked stunned. Even he felt frightened by the sword move.
He knew that he could not survive the wound!
He could not believe that the freak had grown that much under his watch!
He should have been at the peak of Fate and approached the Star Ranking.
Back to the battlefield.
The silence lasted for a second. Soon, the noise broke again.
The ferocious beasts still let out their cries but those close to Su Ping remained silent. The ferocious beast kings who were fighting Xue Yunzhen also stopped, staring at Su Ping in fear.
What a weirdo!
Whooshing sound!
The Void State beast king disappeared on the spot. It has escaped!
The beast king reappeared behind the beast herd; it crushed many beasts to death.
