Chapter 103 - : Raven Hawk (2/2)
Ye Chen’s Celestial Chi gradually reached the very peak of top Ninth Level, so he was almost going to achieve a breakthrough into the Tenth Level. This caused him to feel quite excited. His Astral Body had also become more refined after some amount of consolidation, so he could concentrate and disperse his Astral Body more freely from then on. When encountering a lower-ranking Astral Body, Ye Chen would be able to examine the other party without being detected by them at all as his Astral Body could drift through the air in a faintly discernible manner. Thus, he could also use his Astral Body to survey everything within his one-and-a-half-mile radius.
As Ye Chen looked outside, he found a huge army of mystical and Celestial Beasts on the east side of the formation. Among them, there were thirty to forty Tenth Level Celestial Beasts and more than a hundred top Tenth Level mystical beasts. Nonetheless, these beasts still could not advance closer toward the formation as five evil spirits kept swooping down and attacking them. The human combatants on the west side of the formation consisted mostly of Ninth Level combatants as there were only around twenty Tenth Level powerhouses. Many of these combatants were dressed in uniform attires.
When Ye Chen saw so many mystical beasts, Celestial Beasts, and human combatants trying to force their way into the Chi-amassing Formation and failing repeatedly to do so while he had been leisurely cultivating at the center of the formation for such a long time, Ye Chen could not help feeling slightly proud of himself.
Just as Ye Chen’s Astral Body was observing the situation outside, a top Tenth Level Raven Hawk suddenly dove down and charged ahead amid the ongoing battle. The mystical beast swept through a narrow space between the evil spirits and swiftly entered the Chi-amassing Formation.
The Raven Hawk was not very large and its wings were not even two meters in length when they were fully extended. Furthermore, it had been moving at lightning speed, so the evil spirits failed to bar its way.
Indeed, this was a top Tenth Level Raven Hawk!
After entering the Chi-amassing Formation, the Raven Hawk continued charging forward and flew slightly above the ground. When it noticed the Lioness, it was slightly taken aback and hurriedly changed its direction to fly toward the center of the formation.
The Lioness had also noticed the Raven Hawk sweeping past it. Instantly, a look of compassion and sympathy appeared in the Lioness’ gaze.
“This rash fellow is going to meet its end soon. His Highness the Daemon King is probably going to pluck off its feathers and roast it for food,” the Lioness muttered to itself. Despite feeling bad for the Raven Hawk, it seemed to be rejoicing in the other beast’s misfortune too. The Lioness felt lucky that it had not charged directly to the center and offend the Daemon King. Meanwhile, this Raven Hawk was not as lucky.
When Ye Chen noticed the Raven Hawk charging in his direction like an arrow, he quickly extended his Astral Body and locked it on to the Raven Hawk.
The moment the Raven Hawk sensed Ye Chen’s powerful presence, it instantly trembled in shock and fear and then collided head-on into a boulder in the Chi-amassing Formation with a loud bang. It fell to the ground and tumbled over quite a distance before stopping at last while looking all flustered and helpless.
“Chirp, chirp.” The Raven Hawk stumbled back to its feet and released a few sad cries as though begging for mercy from Ye Chen. It was still quite some distance away from the center of the formation and had not seen him in person yet but it could feel the overbearing and powerful presence of his Astral Body, so it was sure that Ye Chen was a Daemon King Rank powerhouse.
A Raven Hawk?
While it was rather small, it seemed to have pretty good combat capabilities and an extremely strong body.
It would be great if Ye Chen could tame this Raven Hawk. After all, given its incredibly fast flying speed, it would certainly come in handy whenever Ye Chen needed to gather intelligence and news. However, he had already tamed three mystical beasts, so he probably would not be capable of controlling a fourth beast.
Ye Chen felt quite unwilling to accept this. Even if it could not defeat a beginner Earthly Venerable Rank human combatant, a top Tenth Level Raven Hawk should be able to put up quite a fight since a mid-Tenth Level mystical beast was usually on par with a top Tenth Level human.
This Raven Hawk was much more powerful than the Lynx.
“Little Tanuki, are you capable of taming it?” Ye Chen asked as he turned to look at Little Tanuki. In any case, this Raven Hawk had been frightened out of its wits and did not even dare to move a muscle in its spot. He might as well let Little Tanuki give it a try. After all, Little Tanuki was a Tenth Level Celestial Beast too!
