227: Chapter 227 The Beginning of the Counterattack

Upon hearing this, Chen Yi immediately made his decision.

The current situation was critical, and Chu Feiyu's proposal was indeed the optimal solution for now.

Although Bai Song's ability was extremely bizarre, he had lost his sanity.

With the flying Chu Feiyu acting as a distraction, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Before fighting the BOSS, clearing out the mobs is basic common sense!

"Alright! Xiao Yu, I'll leave it to you! Remember to be careful!"

After Chen Yi finished speaking, he used the beast taming whip to lightly brush across Chu Feiyu's slender waist.

"Ah~~"

A warm current surged into Chu Feiyu's body, and her speed, strength, and affinity for flames instantly increased by a notch!

At first, Chu Feiyu had wondered if Chen Yi had some sort of strange fetish.

Now it seemed she had clearly overthought it!

It was just that this method of enhancement—wasn't it a bit too strange?

Although in some beast-taming novels, Beast Tamers used whips to train their pets, doing this in human form... felt rather stimulating?

"Don't worry, Brother Chen Yi!"

Chu Feiyu transformed into a phoenix, and after drawing aggro with a fireball, she quickly flew off. "Leave this place to me!"

"Mhm, I'm counting on you!"

Chen Yi's figure flickered as he rushed toward the main battlefield.

At this moment, Lin Xiao watched as Chen Yi managed to hold out for so long under the siege of his Rank 7 Spirit Beasts and Beast Tamers, even finding the attention to look elsewhere.

For the first time, a look of disbelief appeared in his eyes.

"This kid—is he really only Rank 5? This kind of combat power is simply inconceivable!"

On the other side of the battlefield, while trying to cover an injured companion, Luo Yuqing accidentally left an opening for a Rank 7, Stage 1 Shadow Leopard Spirit Beast.

Sharp claws, carrying a cold light that seemed to tear through space, aimed straight for her back!

It looked as though the fragrance would fade and the jade would shatter!

"Watch out!"

In the nick of time, a wall of azure wind suddenly appeared behind Luo Yuqing!

*Screech—*

The wind wall vibrated violently, barely blocking the lethal blow.

But the massive impact still sent Luo Yuqing flying forward, coughing up blood as she collapsed.

The one who had acted was none other than Luo Shiyin!

However, seeing her erratic breathing, it was clear that taking this hit was not easy for her either.

Luo Yuqing lay on the ground, looking back at Luo Shiyin who had saved her, her face filled with shock and confusion: "Wh—why? You clearly could have ignored me—if I died here, there would be no suspense left for the position of the next Luo family head after we leave... Why did you—"

Luo Shiyin quickly helped her up and said in a cold tone: "The victory between us has not been truly decided yet! Until then, you cannot die! I want to win against you at your peak, not by rising to power through such foul means!"

Upon hearing these words, Luo Yuqing was stunned.

Looking at Luo Shiyin's clear and persistent gaze, and comparing it to how she had always suppressed Luo Shiyin under the family's urging, an indescribable sense of shame and emotion instantly surged into her heart, and tears flowed uncontrollably.

"So... the one who has been judging a noble heart with a petty mind was me all along... I was afraid of her potential, afraid that she would truly surpass me—"

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and heal your wounds; I don't have any spare energy to treat you!"

"I understand!"

Seeing this scene, Lin Xiao let out a disdainful cold laugh: "What a touching display of sisterly affection! Unfortunately, you've gotten one thing wrong!"

"Today's mission only requires capturing Chen Yi alive! As for the rest of you, including these Contracted Spirit Beasts of Chen Yi's, all of you must die!"

"At most, one or two will be kept to blackmail Chen Yi! Still thinking about competing for the family headship? Truly laughable! Go dream in hell!"

Just as Lin Xiao's voice fell, the enemy Spirit Beasts' offensive became even more fierce. At the moment when Chen Yi's side's defensive line was about to completely collapse,

Chen Yi's figure appeared directly in the center of the fray!

Without a word, he swung the beast taming whip in his hand once again!

*Snap!*

The shadow of the whip cut through the air, accurately sweeping across Lin Mengxue, Luo Shiyin, Yan Jiuyue, and all the other allied Contracted Spirit Beasts!

*Rumble—*

Another powerful surge of energy was injected into their bodies!

Stacking with the Intermediate Enhancement Cards, it formed a secondary enhancement, and the auras on their bodies began to climb steadily!

This scene left Leng Wuhen, Gao Wenyu, and the others completely dazed.

"What the hell is with that whip?"

"Does Chen Yi have that kind of interest?"

It wasn't until they felt the auras of Chen Yi's girls, which had just begun to recede, suddenly explode again—even more solid and ferocious than before—

That they realized with horror!

This was actually also a type of enhancement secret technique?

And it could be used consecutively?

Just how many inconceivable abilities did this guy Chen Yi have?

The girls' spirits were greatly lifted. With delicate shouts, their combat power soared. The originally crumbling defensive line temporarily stabilized and even began to counterattack!

But even so, facing the enemy Spirit Beasts commanded by three Rank 7 Beast Tamers—who still held the advantage in both quantity and quality—they only managed to level the playing field, still unable to break the deadlock!

Chen Yi's gaze turned sharp; he knew he couldn't hold back anymore!

"It looks like I'll have to bleed some resources next!"

First, there were three water-attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasures emitting a pure aura—Tears of the Vast Sea!

After this item was refined by a water-attribute Spirit Beast, they would definitely learn a new water-attribute skill upon their next major rank breakthrough, with the rarity being random!

The market price was fifty million, but he couldn't care about that much now!

"System, I want to activate the healing effects of these three Tears of the Vast Sea!"

[Ding! 15 Enhancement Points consumed. Activation successful!]

As the system's voice faded,

A healing radiance like an ocean tide centered on him, enveloping all allied personnel!

A miraculous scene occurred!

The flesh at the severed arm of the heavily injured Qi Lianmeng squirmed, beginning to heal at a speed visible to the naked eye;

Luo Yuqing's internal injuries were instantly soothed;

The wounds on everyone else's bodies recovered rapidly, and their consumed physical strength and spiritual power were restored by seventy to eighty percent!

Except for the Spirit Beast Girls who had already died, everyone was instantly restored to full status!

"This—what is this?"

"My injuries—they're healed?"

"My spiritual power has recovered too?"

On both sides, everyone was collectively shocked into a daze!

This had completely exceeded their cognitive scope of healing secret techniques!

How could such a secret technique exist?

Yun Zhiyao felt the surging power and renewed state within her body. Looking at Chen Yi's back, her beautiful eyes sparkled with continuous brilliance, shocked beyond measure!

"He—just how many secrets does he have? This man I like is simply too incredible!"

[Ding! Yun Zhiyao's favorability +3 points!]

[Current favorability: 89 points!]

However, this wasn't over yet!

Chen Yi's counterattack had only just begun!

With a flip of his hand, Chen Yi pulled out three more ice-attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasures emitting an extreme chill from his space ring—Soul-Congealing Ice!

"System, I want to activate the binding effect of these three Soul-Congealing Ices!"

[Ding! 15 Enhancement Points consumed. Activation successful!]
