Chapter 503 More Beast Kings and Reinforcements!
“Qin…”
Xie Jinshui was well-informed; he was able to tell right away that Qin Duhuang would go through Heaven’s Test! Qin Duhuang was going to make the breakthrough, wasn’t he? Right in the middle of the war?! If he succeeded, he would become a legendary battle pet warrior!
After the initial stage of astonishment, the Qin family’s t.i.tled battle pet warriors were overjoyed. The Qin family was going to have a legendary battle pet warrior! Although many of their people had died, including their former family head Qin Feiyu, seeing Qin Duhuang making a breakthrough still left many people in tears. Finally, the Qin family was going to have a legendary battle pet warrior! Boom~~! Dark clouds gathered and thunder clapped. It seemed that the Winged Serpent was remembering something horrible. Hissing, the Winged Serpent turned around and fled instead of going near Qin Duhuang. Soon after, the Winged Serpent had fled the dark clouds. Standing underneath the dark clouds were Qin Duhuang and the other Qin family t.i.tled battle pet warriors. Qin Duhuang was unhappy as he saw that Winged Serpent flee. However, he didn’t go after it. He could tell that the dark clouds had locked in on him. The unspeaking feeling in his mind was telling him how to go through Heaven’s Test.
“You need to get out of here!” Qin Duhuang shouted to people around him. The Qin family t.i.tled battle pet warriors came back to their senses. They all hurried to move away, afraid that their presence would interfere with Qin Duhuang. They had heard about some secrets about Heaven’s Test.
Finally, the Qin family was going to have a legendary battle pet warrior!
If they became the reason Qin Duhuang failed the test, they would spend the rest of their lives in misery.
As the Qin family’s t.i.tled battle pet warriors left the area, the dark clouds grew faster and faster, soon reaching several thousand meters in diameter.
Lightning flashed in the dark clouds. The heavy pressure made Qin Duhuang feel that he was forced to face heaven and earth all in his lonesome. This was Heaven’s Test. He looked into the sky. Roar!!
A beast shouted in the distance.
Qin Duhuang looked around. The Storm Scorpion was hurrying his way. Behind it, that mammoth behemoth had fallen to the ground, motionless.
Did the Storm Scorpion win? Qin Duhuang was happy to see only a few wounds on the Storm Scorpion. He didn’t know that the beast king Su Ping had sold him was so formidable. The Storm Scorpion had not only stalled the mammoth but actually killed it. “Perfect timing. Come and join me!” Qin Duhuang shouted. He had no idea if he would survive through the test. He had never prepared for it because he never thought he would have a chance in this lifetime. Boom-!
The dark clouds were ready. The diameter had grown to about five thousand meters. A swirl appeared in the middle of the dark clouds. A thick bolt of lightning was ready to strike.
Qin Duhuang shouted as he mobilized his astral powers. He borrowed some energy from the Storm Scorpion via energy synchronization. He once again wielded his sword.
With a boom, the lightning bolt cracked, surrounding Qin Duhuang with countless electric sparks. The electricity shocked Qin Duhuang numb. He waved his sword again, seeing that the second bolt of lightning was coming. Boom! Boom! The third bolt of lightning followed closely after the second was done. Roar!!
The Storm Scorpion jumped up toward the bolt of lightning. The energy from the Storm Scorpion turned into a storm that dispersed the lightning The lightning disappeared, revealing Qin Duhuang. He was on the back of the Storm Scorpion down on one knee. His hair was a mess and he had to support himself with the sword in his hand.
The lightning bolts continued to fall. “Sir…”
The Qin family t.i.tled battle pet warriors watched nervously.
If Qin Duhuang failed, his chance to become a legendary battle pet warrior would be gone! More and more bolts of lightning were smas.h.i.+ng down. Qin Duhuang felt he was about to explode; he was unable to gather more strength. He struggled to look into the sky, only to see more bolts of lightning coming down.
Roar!!
A crimson figure jumped up to the sky. It was the Fierce Fire Ape. It threw itself at the lightning bolt and then was smashed down on the ground.
Another bolt of lightning was about to fall. This time, it was the dragon that stepped to block it.
Just like the Fierce Fire Ape, the dragon bellowed as it shouldered the bolt of lightning for Qin Duhuang. The t.i.tled battle pet warriors that were busy fighting could not help but take a look. Witnessing a person taking Heaven’s Test would later inspire them. Qin Duhuang was emotional after seeing that the dragon and the Fierce Fire Ape were helping him. He summoned all of his strength and shouted at the sky. Boom!!
The lightning bolt came cras.h.i.+ng down on him. Qin Duhuang and the Storm Scorpion he was standing on welcomed the lightning strike together. The glaring light lit up both sky and ground. As the last lightning bolt fell, Qin Duhuang and the Storm Scorpion collapsed on the ground. There were several burn marks on the Storm Scorpion’s sh.e.l.l. Even though it was a beast king, Heaven’s Test was too much for it. The dark clouds dispersed. Finally, it was over. Right then, a strand of force poured down from the dark clouds and entered Qin Duhuang before he was able to react. That was a force he had never experienced before; it seeped into all the corners of his body and his astral powers seethed. Qin Duhuang looked at himself. The burns on his skin were healing quickly. In the meantime, the force entering him was vast and majestic. An extraordinary vibe was revealed from him. Legendary rank! Qin Duhuang himself became surprised. Was this the strength of a legendary battle pet warrior?
Majestic as the sea, vast, endless! He felt he could even control the void!
Stunning! That was what he had been dreaming of!
“Ah!!”
Qin Duhuang could not help but cry out. He had never been so liberated. He was able to grab all the energy stored in heaven and earth at will.
After calming down, the first thing he did was to dart a glance at the Winged Serpent in the distance. Determined, Qin Duhuang directed the Storm Scorpion toward the place where the Winged Serpent was. The wild beast king was less afraid since the test had ended. It charged forth after seeing Qin Duhuang and the Storm Scorpion approaching Bang!
The Storm Scorpion generated two hurricanes in the air with its claws. At its command, the two hurricanes lashed at the Winged Serpent. Qin Duhuang was full of killing intent. He shared his astral powers with the Storm Scorpion he was riding.
Roar!
The Storm Scorpion grew more powerful than ever. It sped up until it became a blur to smash into the Winged Serpent. The pet grabbed the winged beast with its claws and yanked it down from the sky. The Winged Serpent wiggled and wrapped itself around the Storm Scorpion. As he stood on the outer wall, Xie Jinshui was over the moon after seeing Qin Duhuang succeed. He was even happier to see that Qin Duhuang’s battle pet was clearly gaining the upper hand. Relieved, Xie Jinshui commanded others to try their best to stall the Cyan Flame Dragon. The t.i.tled battle pet warriors from other base cities were stunned and thrilled to have seen the Raging Spirit reach the legendary rank today. They tried even harder. As soon as Qin Duhuang finished that Winged Serpent, he would be able to join them and to finish the Cyan Flame Dragon together! The east side was secure! “We have a legendary battle pet warrior. Charge!!” “Guys, let’s kill those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds!” The warriors’ morals and spirits were rising; they summoned more battle pets and fought with all their might. The wild beasts that had charged into the stone spikes were forced to stop. Countless dead bodies were lying on the ground, including those of wild beasts, humans as well as battle pets. While the wild beasts were suffering from great casualties, a human warrior died every second!
Wild beasts and battle pets were nothing different, except that the former was wild and the latter domesticated, having also befriended humans. In that battle, corpses piled together and blood flowed in a stream. Xie Jinshui was even calmer by then. He was able to see in the distance how Qin Duhuang and the Storm Scorpion had gained complete control over the Winged Serpent which was riddled with wounds. Come on, Qin! Xie Jinshui prayed. While everything seemed to have been stabilized, people heard some shouts all of a sudden. Following that, behind the wild beasts, the ground cracked; a gigantic creature emerged from that fissure, one that looked like a centipede. As soon as the huge centipede appeared, it swooped down on two t.i.tled battle pet warriors which soon cried out in pain; that was the only thing that could ever come out of their mouths. Their battle pets stopped fighting and stood among the wild beasts, confused. That was the outcome when battle pets lost their bond with their masters.
Everyone on the battlefield was scared and pale. Xie Jinshui could hardly believe that. Beast kings again? There were two of them!!
Were all five beast kings attacking the east side?
It was unlikely!
Were they never able to detect all the beast kings? Xie Jinshui was trembling, in anger and fear. The t.i.tled battle pet warriors were stunned into stillness.
They were having a hard time as it was, just to stall one Cyan Flame Dragon. How come there were two more? How should they continue? Many people had given up hope. The Qins’ t.i.tled warriors who had returned to help were in despair. Qin Duhuang had broken through to the legendary rank but he could not stop so many beast kings!
How could all five beast kings be there at the same time? They had heard that the north side also had beast kings!
Qin Duhuang, who was still fighting that Winged Serpent, was alerted by the two shouts. Startled, he took a look and what he saw threw him into endless despair.
He could not help but shout, “That is not possible…”
On the outer wall, after being dazed for a moment, Xie Jinshui came back to his senses. He took out his phone and called his contacts on the other sides.
If the other sides didn’t have to deal with beast kings, he could mobilize some people to have them help out! “General Lin, how is the north side?” “Sir, we have… three beast kings here!”
Clap.
The phone was dropped. Xie Jinshui’s head was blank. Three beast kings on the north side? Five were here. That would make the total number of beast kings… eight! He had not even checked with the south and west side yet! “Why? Why are there so many beast kings?” Xie Jinshui was having a mental breakdown. Eight beast kings and the Otherworld Heavenly King would easily topple a Cla.s.s A base city! Why would so many beast kings gather to attack the Longjiang Base City?!
He could not understand!
The Longjiang Base City was just an ordinary tier-two base city! Why were so many beast kings here?
Roar!
Roar!!
Xie Jinshui could not take it. As the two beast kings joined in, the wild beasts that had slowed down launched another round of vicious attacks.
