"Of course, we fight our way out." Ye Sanshao glanced at Zhuge Feng and answered indifferently. His black silhouette was already descending toward the ground, stepping firmly on the tiger’s back. The tiger beneath his feet docilely allowed Ye Sanshao to stand on it, motionless, exceptionally obedient and ta.
As soon as Ye Sanshao landed, the surrounding beasts went even more berserk. The old beast tar cackled strangely and began to play his flute, letting out a series of WOO-WOO-WOO sounds.
The animals surrounding Ye Sanshao were sent flying.
"Co back!" Shangguan You watched Ye Sanshao’s risky move, her heart tight with urgency, but his black figure had already landed. Unlike Ye Sanshao, who could stand on an animal’s back, she could not. She waved her hands, and a small hill rapidly grew from the flat ground. The animals on it slid down to either side as her black silhouette stood at the top.
"The Earth Spirit Bead?" Zhuge Feng murmured, his form flashing as he swiftly moved to Shangguan You’s side. Zhuge Feng followed closely behind him. Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei exchanged glances and also followed, with Li Zhaolei being the last.
Shangguan You glanced at the Fire Dragon in the sky and waved her hands. The Fire Dragon blazed around them. Simultaneously, with a flick of her hands, silent Electric Shocks assaulted the surrounding animals. A SHA-SHA-SHA sound arose as the tree leaves, carrying imnse montum, attacked countless animals.
ZHI! ZHI! ZHI! As the electric shocks connected, nurous animals collapsed, their fur smoking, unable to move. The leaves, attacking with the irresistible force of splitting bamboo, struck the animals’ limbs like an inescapable net, splattering blood everywhere. Countless animals fell, their mournful cries piercing the night.
In the sky, a dense swarm of venomous bees was incinerated to ash by the Fire Dragon, the sll of their burning flesh filling the air.
"Earth Power, split for !" Shangguan You commanded lightly. The once-even ground began to crack and separate at a visible speed, and countless animals tumbled into the deep fissures.
"Water Chains, Ice Seal!" As Shangguan You issued the command, all the ground around her, except for the spot where she stood, transford into an icy fortress. The entire back mountain beca a world of white snow.
The old beast tar was bound in midair by the Water Chains, spread-eagled. His entire body was instantly encased in ice. From within the icy fortress, Shangguan You could clearly see through the ice, observing the old beast tar’s face, filled with utter disbelief and shock.
"Fire, roast him," Shangguan You commanded softly. A Fire Dragon coiled beneath the block of ice, slowly roasting the old beast tar. Within the ice, the old beast tar’s pale face gradually flushed. As the ice lted away under the heat, exposing him directly to the flas, his face swelled a burning red, and his body writhed continuously.
Had it not been for the Water Chains binding him so firmly, he would have likely leaped up by now. This soul-wrenching sensation, caught between ice and fire, will be sothing he rembers for the rest of his life, Shangguan You thought.
Firelight flared in all directions. The remaining animals, terrified, scattered frantically in the vicinity and in midair, quickly disappearing from Shangguan You’s sight. The old beast tar’s flute had vanished in the inferno, leaving him with no way to control the beasts. Not that Shangguan You had any intention of letting the old man live.
Anyone who dares to sche against must be prepared to pay with their life.
"How do you wish to die?" Shangguan You looked coldly at the old beast tar’s greasy face. With a little more roasting, she thought, one could probably render a layer of oil from it.
"Bury him alive. That thod is quite fitting," Ye Sanshao said, leaping gracefully from the tiger’s back to stand elegantly before Shangguan You.
"Senior, this man cannot die! The art of beast taming has been lost," Li Zhaolei quickly objected. "As long as he’s alive, he’s a treasure! Besides, apart from this old man, there’s no one else in the world with such an ability. How can we let such a person die?"
"That’s right, Your Excellency. This man cannot die right now."
"KEKEKE! Thinking of learning the art of beast taming from ? Dream on! Even in death, I would not impart it to you shaless people! HAHAHA! What a pity I couldn’t drag you all down with today!" the old beast tar laughed wildly. Blood trickled from his mouth, his head lolled to one side, and he stopped breathing.
Li Zhaolei quickly went over to check him, even scrutinizing the few beast skins on his body, before announcing dispiritedly, "He’s gone."
Shangguan You glanced disdainfully at Li Zhaolei. Utterly shaless, she thought. With a flick of her hands, the earth beneath the old beast tar’s corpse split open, swallowing it. She then buried the dismbered limbs of the surrounding animals along with him.
Once this was done, peace returned to the vicinity. The back mountain fell eerily silent. Even the cries of animals could not be heard in the night. With tranquility restored to the area, Zhuge Feng finally sat down on the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief. His clothes, soaked in blood and sweat, felt extrely uncomfortable.
Zhuge Feng deliberately kept his distance from Shangguan You, afraid she might sll the blood and sweat on him. The situation had been dire monts ago, but now that they were safe, it was natural to want to maintain so semblance of decorum.
Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei both sat cross-legged, taking the opportunity to regulate their spiritual energy after the battle. Unsure of ihua’s temperant, they decided it was best to observe quietly for now. Li Zhaolei also wisely kept his distance.
Only Shangguan You, Ye Sanshao, and Zhuge Feng remained standing.
"Eat these." Shangguan You took out a bottle of Spirit Gathering Pills and handed it to Zhuge Feng, indicating that both he and Zhuge Feng should consu them.
"Your Excellency, what is this?" Zhuge Feng asked, his face lighting up with pleasant surprise as he slled the faint fragrance from the bottle. The scent was identical to the Spirit Gathering Pills that Elder had once produced. These pills could rapidly increase the absorption of Spiritual Energy; a single pill’s effect was comparable to a whole year of cultivating Spiritual Energy.
"Spirit Gathering Pills. They increase Spiritual Energy and are good for the body. I, er... I find you all rather agreeable, especially since you fought beside just now."
Shangguan You looked at Zhuge Feng, feeling slightly awkward hearing him call her ’Senior.’ The last ti they t, he had taken her to Pizza Hut, cared for her like a father, and even left all his belongings to her. To et again under such circumstances... it truly made her uncomfortable.
