252 Bandit Leaders Charge (2/2)

”Why don't I try to tame him? Then they can run a trial for him if they want,” he said casually. ”I kind of want to see if my taming abilities work here in the other continent.”

”You think they might not?” Xue Wei asked curiously. Lin Xiao shook his head. ”I really don't know,” he answered seriously.

”There are some secrets for the Diviners.” Lin Xiao sighed. ”I can't really go into detail since I swore a heavenly oath, but it might be possible that it only works on Chang'an.”

”In that case, give it a try,” Xue Wei said with a nod of his head. ”We will not lose anything from you testing your abilities here.”

The many people eavesdropping were confused. What abilities? Was it really possible to tame Primordial Beasts? They were as intelligent as humans, and they were seen as equals here in Yan Dalu. The ability to tame them would be a power that none of them could imagine.

But the fight continued. The students were easily disposing of their enemies and the ground was littered with corpses. All of them were bandits; not a single student had lost their life just yet.

The group poured deeper into the fortress, no longer fighting in the open courtyard but entering the actual fortress building.

The further in they got, the more people they encountered, and these people became increasingly stronger. Xue Wei was astonished. This was the biggest bandit group he had ever encountered. It made perfect sense that the government was in need of taking action against them.

Xue Wei was not in a rush when they moved into the building. He and his friends were around the middle of the pack, observing everything in their path.

The many bandits were being killed one after another, which lasted until the fortress started trembling.

A three-meter tall boar appeared in the main hall of the fortress; its tusks were massive and sharp and looked full of power. One hit of those and even these experts with Ordinary Knight strength of the first layer would be severely injured.

This was their target. This was the leader of the bandits. Seeing him, Xue Wei glanced at Lin Xiao who was frowning and shook his head. He could not tell at the current point if he could tame him or not.

”We need to beat him down,” he said seriously. ”Beat him down until he forgets from which direction the sun rises. Then I should have a chance.”

”In that case, let us move,” Xue Wei said. He, Hei Gou, Bai Tianyi, and Lin Xiao were all eager to fight this boar.

”Gou, you take care of blocking his attacks. Your body is much stronger than ours, so you will have to keep him busy for us!” Xue Wei called out directions.

”Xiao and Tianyi, the two of you are going to add support from behind. Whenever the boar is locked down by Gou, you launch your own attacks and bring him down.”

”I will ensure that no one is allowed to interrupt us, and I'll launch attacks on my own whenever I see a chance to do so!”

Forbidden Rush!

Having given out the directions, Xue Wei activated his movement technique alongside the other two, and Bai Tianyi made a flying sword which he stood on.

While everyone else was shying away from the large boar, Xue Wei and his friends moved straight towards him. On the way, Hei Gou's body started changing.

His body grew in size. It was no longer the size of a Celestial Dog; instead, it was the size of a great dragon, five meters long and three meters tall.

The fur was still black, but it had streaks of silver and gold within, and big wings were flapping behind his back, the feathers also having a few silver and gold feathers amongst the many black ones.

In a way, it seemed very much the same as before, but much bigger and with a few golden and silver colors mixed in between.

Hei Gou's shape was awe-inspiring. Even the students of the academy were stunned when they saw Hei Gou transform.

All the experts from the academy that were Primordial Beasts felt their hearts tremble. This was a Primordial Beast with a very pure bloodline. This was a king amongst beasts!

It was not only the beasts of the academy who could feel the oppressive air, the small eyes of the bandit leader in his boar form narrowed as he felt the pressure bearing down upon him.

The two massive figures facing off against each other were not backing down at all. One was a predator by nature, a dog that had mutated and become so very powerful, while the other was a boar, a beast that would never back down if it felt threatened, bearing tusks that could cause serious damage.

The first to lose his patience was the bandit leader. He and Hei Gou had been observing each other for some time but found no apparent weaknesses in the other, so he charged out with all his might.

Hei Gou was fast and dodged the charge of the bandit leader. He sidestepped him, causing the bandit leader to run straight into the wall, which resulted in the entire building shaking, dust falling from the ceiling.

The moment he ran into the wall, he became slightly dizzy, and neither Lin Xiao nor Bai Tianyi wanted to waste any opportunities. Swords made from the grey energy descended down onto the back of the boar, slicing through the thick hide and flesh.

Bai Tianyi fought from the distance, and Lin Xiao rushed up to him, bringing down his sword for numerous quick slashes.
