Chapter 536: Domineering Xiong Shou! (1/2)
Recovering from his surprise, Xiong Shou hurriedly spread his consciousness to scan the surroundings, only to find that the Bell Bull leader was now far behind him, and between them was the big herd of Bell Bulls who looked ready to defend their leader with their lives.
The Bell Bull leader’s ultimate innate skill – Phantom Charge: releases a phantom in the specified direction in which the phantom sprints toward at super speed and cannot be stopped. The user can then appear at the phantom’s position at any time and even gain the phantom’s speed!
The Bell Bull leader was determined to flee and had managed to create a huge distance between them. While Xiong Shou was powerful, he was far inferior in terms of speed.
However, this did not mean that he intended to stop here. Even if the King Rank had slipped away, the remaining Enlightened Ranks were still worth a lot of points!
“Everyone, go!” shouted Xiong Shou at the top of his lungs as he rushed into the bull herd.
The rest of the group hiding in the dark responded quickly. When Xiong Shou had approached the Bell Bull leader, the herd’s sonic attack finished, so everyone was currently in good condition.
The fastest to react was Chu Tianyi. The king of one-strike KO lived up to his title. In a flash, he was standing on a Bell Bull and his One Heaven sword had already pierced its head. Pulling out the sword, Chu Tianyi circulated his origin energy in preparation for the next attack.
The second fastest was Sima Ye. Swallowing a pill that continuously replenished origin energy, he raised both hands and a black tornado rose in the middle of the bull herd. The tornado grew bigger and bigger, but Sima Ye’s face also turned pale.
The consumption of this skill was exceptional, but so was its effect. Any bull near the tornado was forced to stop and its fur was eroded at the speed visible to the naked eye. Then, the exposed skin began to dry up and crack.
Next was Wu Xizhao, who was jumping around chaotically like a flea, landing atop them and stabbing his strange-looking short sword into their eyes. He was well aware of his own ability. He could handle one Bell Bull, but in a group of them, he would die the moment he stopped moving. Therefore, he chose to irritate them so that they would be too panicky to run. After all, they had Xiong Shou in charge of the killing!
The sound of painful whining kept echoing from the Bell Bulls. At the same time, Xiong Shou had approached the herd. As he constantly shuttled among them, the bulls would collapse in the blink of an eye from a single paw slap from him.
“Will it be okay if you don’t do anything?” hiding behind Bai Xiaofei, Luo Han asked softly. There was a hint of hesitation in her tone as she didn’t know if she was right to ask this question.
“Didn’t you notice? He judged our strength according to the information on the card. It says I’m an Illusion Stream puppet master, so he didn’t take me seriously at all. Moreover, we won’t get any points if we join anyway, so why bother wasting the effort? Isn’t watching the show better?” explained Bai Xiaofei, claiming to be an audience while secretly taking notes of everyone’s performance.
This team was not a solid, one-heart team. Moreover, Xiong Shou seemed to have no intention to solidify it either. Something would go wrong sooner or later if everyone kept minding their own business like this. Bai Xiaofei needed to ensure that he wouldn’t be duped by this group of people at a critical moment.
The slaughter lasted about ten minutes. When Sima Ye ran out of energy and they lost the best means of restraining the opponents, the remaining eight or nine Bell Bulls ran into the deep forest after their leader.
Looking at the disappearing Bell Bulls, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Although there was no life-threatening danger, this kind of high-intensity battle consumed no less than a life-or-death one. All the people that participated in the combat plopped on the ground. Of course, this excluded Xiong Shou, who looked like he didn’t break a sweat.
