Chapter 295 - Qiao’er’s Appearance (2/2)

They all gasped in fear. None saw it coming, that Huangpu Qingtian’s spirit animal would be a 6th level spiritual beast.

It was going to throw the stalemate in the enemy’s favor!

The tri-house alliance’s spiritual beasts shuddered from the lion’s roar. Their power cut down, they were pushed back by the other three spiritual beasts.

“We’re finished!”

Chu Qingcheng’s army was filled with despair and frustration as the savage lion unleashed waves of flame in its path.

Even though they’d die either way. Up till now they at least had the chance to take as many as they could down with them. With even some Profound Heaven experts cherishing the faint hope of survival. But now that the lion king was here, all hope was lost.

Their lives were now waiting for the flames of war to burn them to cinders.

You Yushan’s side laughed. Zhuo Fan kept on shuddering. He didn’t get to act as a twisted and maniacally voice grated his ears.

“If you leave, who’s to hold me back?

Huangpu Qingtian cackled. He was having a blast seeing Zhuo Fan so conflicted. After suffering at his hand for so many times, he finally had vindication. It felt good.

Taking a deep breath, Zhuo Fan found himself in a bind.

With two threats on a collision course with Chu Qingcheng’s group, he could only pick one. It was such a nerve wrecking decision that he felt lost regardless of what he picked.

But then, his Thunder Ring flickered. Zhuo Fan felt the impatience and hatred within.

Qiao’er?

He was startled and perplexed at its impatience. But he soon knew why.

Flaming Lion King was the same beast who had killed his mother. Although a different one, the thirst for revenge remained. Its hatred ran bone deep for what it had done to its mother.

But how was the young Qiao’er going to fight against the Flaming Lion King? It was only a 4th level spiritual beast.

The answer was picked for him as Qiao’er had reached its limit and the Thunder Ring flickered stronger.

[Sigh, it’s not like it will change anything.]

Zhuo Fan gnashed his teeth, having made a decision, “Young master Huangpu, I may not be able to split myself, but what you have, well so do I!”

With a snicker, Zhuo Fan flourished, “Come, Qiao’er!”

In a flash of purple, a purple lightning shot for Flaming Lion King. Qiao’er only had one thing on its mind, revenge.

“What is that?” You Yushan peered at the lightening glow.

Yan Bangui said, “It appears to be a Thunder Skylark, a 6th level spiritual beast. But why is it purple?”

“What, 6th level spiritual beast? He has one too?” Lin Xuanfeng panicked, “Won’t this end up in a standstill again?”

Yan Bangui took a closer look, before giving a deprecating shake of his head, “Relax, that won’t happen. This Thunder Skylark is only a chick, at the 4th level. It’s no match for an adult Flaming Lion King! Besides, an adult Thunder Skylark would fare no better.”

Lin Xuanfeng laughed, “Ha-ha-ha, what’s up with Zhuo Fan then? Is he so fed up with his useless spiritual beast that he wants to give it to the lion king as a snack?”

That set the other two laughing.

While on Chu Qingcheng’s side, they were hopeful a treacherous man like Zhuo Fan had to have an amazing spirit animal.

Only to feel their hopes crumble at the sight of a young Thunder Skylark, a mere 4th level spiritual beast, and they resumed despairing.

Even Zhuo Fan felt how hopeless it was to even let such a meager support out.

Ha~

With great hope came an equally great disappointment as they all sighed, resigned to their fates…

Huangpu Qingtian wasn’t about to let this golden chance go and mocked the chick as well, “Zhuo Fan, are you that desperate to even send your useless spiritual beast to its death?”

“What can I say? If it wants to die, I can’t stop it!”

Shrugging, Zhuo Fan didn’t seem to care, but the worry in his eyes was unmistakable. Even he didn’t know of Qiao’er’s power. Common sense dictated that a 4th level spiritual beast wouldn’t be considered even a side dish to a 6th level spiritual beast.

Qiao’er’s chances were between nil and infinitesimal.

Catching on to Zhuo Fan’s worry, Huangpu Qingtian capitalized on it to put his own worries to rest. [The punk has no overt scheme in play at all. He is on the ropes.] That last one made his day and he smiled from ear to ear.

In the meantime, Qiao’er was already behind the Flaming Lion King.

It had everyone’s full attention. Even their breath was caught in their throat at the imminent clash…
