228: Chapter 228 Slaughtering a Seventh-Rank Rank Person Like Slaughtering a Dog

"Crackle—"

A terrifying power of extreme cold erupted, instantly freezing the enemy Rank Seven Spirit Beasts charging at the front into three ice sculptures!

Among them was a Lava Demonic Tiger whose entire body was still burning with flames; both the flames and energy fluctuations on its body were instantly frozen solid!

"Now's the time! Focus fire!"

The girls, who had long since understood the plan, poured all their strongest attacks onto those three ice sculptures without hesitation!

"Rumble—"

Under such dense saturated strikes, the three Rank Seven Spirit Beasts imprisoned by the extreme cold couldn't even let out a scream. The ice sculptures, along with the bodies inside, shattered with a bang, dissipating into a sky full of ice crystals and radiance!

Instant kill!

Three Rank Seven Spirit Beasts were actually insta-killed just like that?

At this, the composure and mockery on Lin Xiao's face vanished completely, replaced by total bewilderment and horror!

"How is this possible? Rank Seven Spirit Beasts... insta-killed by a group of Rank Fives? What on earth is this thing Chen Yi is using?"

At this moment, Chen Yi's cold gaze instantly locked onto Lin Xiao, whose face had lost all color!

To catch a band of thieves, first capture their leader—this was an eternal truth!

He was seen once again pulling an egg-sized, top-grade fire-attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasure worth eighty million dragon country coins from his space ring—the Radiant Flame Essence! It looked as if a sun was burning inside it.

This thing was one of Yan Jiuyue's dowry items, intended to be used in conjunction with high-level beast king crystal cores in the future to significantly increase the probability of learning skills.

Since he wasn't sure about the attack power of a fire-attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasure, he simply went all out from the start!

To prevent the opponent from becoming wary!

Anyway, if he needed to learn skills later, he still had Enhancement Points he could use!

"System, I want to activate the attack effect of this Radiant Flame Essence!"

[Ding! Consumed 5 Enhancement Points. Activation successful!]

The next second...

The Radiant Flame Essence suddenly expanded in mid-air, transforming into a massive, blazing white orb of light over five meters in diameter that emitted an aura of destruction.

Like a miniature sun with a homing aura, it crushed toward Lin Xiao with an unstoppable momentum!

After feeling the terrifying energy contained within that orb of light, Lin Xiao was scared out of his wits and turned to flee using a movement technique!

However, the blazing white light orb seemed alive, carving an arc as it pursued him relentlessly!

"No! Block it! Quick, block it!"

Lin Xiao roared in terror at his Contracted Spirit Beasts!

His cat demon Spirit Beast and two other nearby Spirit Beast Girls, though also feeling fear, still loyally pounced forward, attempting to block it together!

However, before the destructive energy of the Radiant Flame Essence, their defenses were like paper!

"Sizzle—"

There was no violent explosion, only a sound like a red-hot branding iron searing into butter.

Those three Spirit Beasts, along with their defensive skills, were directly vaporized and vanished under the crushing force of the blazing white orb!

Not a single trace was left behind!

The orb's momentum slowed slightly, but it still slammed hard into the retreating Lin Xiao.

The scorching radiance, like a white hole, distorted everything around it.

"No—!"

Lin Xiao let out a desperate scream, but it was absolutely useless.

The light swallowed him whole!

As the scorching light and energy aftershocks slowly dissipated—

In his place, only a charred crater and a few wisps of blue smoke remained.

Lin Xiao, along with the Spirit Beasts that tried to block the attack, were completely wiped out!

The entire field instantly fell into a dead silence.

Whether enemy or ally, everyone looked as if they had been hit by a freezing spell, staring blankly at the charred crater and at Chen Yi standing proudly in the center of the field, their minds completely blank.

The three Rank Seven black-clothed Beast Tamers, who had thought victory was in their grasp, saw Lin Xiao and his Contracted Spirit Beasts instantly vaporized by Chen Yi's strange orb of light, and their pupils suddenly contracted to the size of needlepoints!

The playful, cat-and-mouse expressions they previously wore froze completely, replaced by an irrepressible horror!

Because they all felt that if they were to face that orb of light themselves, they probably wouldn't be able to survive either!

Gao Wenyu, Leng Wuhen, and the surviving Contracted Spirit Beasts under their command were also completely dumbfounded, their mouths agape, unable to make a sound for a long time.

They knew Chen Yi was strong, that he was the Yi Chen who had broken historical records.

But the scene before them still exceeded their scope of understanding.

Lin Xiao was actually insta-killed so easily?

Chen Yi looked at the charred crater and the curling blue smoke, nodding in satisfaction.

"Hmm, the effect is good, the power is fierce enough, and it even has auto-tracking. It truly is a top-grade spiritual treasure worth eighty million! It's just... it burns money too fast. My heart is bleeding!"

Those three Rank Seven Beast Tamers were, after all, experienced experts; they snapped out of their shock in an instant.

The leader made a prompt decision and shouted loudly, "Retreat! Retreat immediately! The intelligence on the target was a serious error! This kid is too strange; I'm afraid he's not someone we can handle!"

Once the order was given, except for the four Spirit Beasts who were being tightly pinned down by Lin Mengxue, Luo Shiyin, and the other girls and couldn't possibly escape...

...the remaining Spirit Beasts that could still move, including the three Rank Seven Beast Tamers themselves, turned around without hesitation. Using various means, they transformed into streaks of light and fled in panic in different directions!

"Want to run? Have you asked me yet?"

Chen Yi's eyes turned cold.

During the fierce battle just now, the beast taming whip had already accumulated quite a bit of energy through The girls' fighting.

He was just worrying about having nowhere to use it!

With a wave of his arm, the beast taming whip appeared again, and he lashed out fiercely!

"Whish—"

The whip's shadow didn't strike anyone directly; instead, it condensed in the air into a massive, crescent-shaped light blade composed purely of destructive energy!

The moment the light blade appeared, a terrifying pressure that made everyone's souls tremble swept out!

At a speed faster than the eye could track, the light blade instantly caught up with the Rank Seven Beast Tamer who was fleeing the fastest!

That Beast Tamer felt the fatal threat behind him and turned back in terror, only to see a blinding white light...

"Ripping—"

The light blade swept past; there was no earth-shaking explosion, only a silence as if something had been erased from the world by an eraser.

That Rank Seven Beast Tamer and the two loyal Rank Seven, Stage One Spirit Beasts beside him were completely annihilated, not even a speck of dust left behind!

The remaining two Rank Seven Beast Tamers caught a glimpse of this terrifying scene and were scared out of their wits, their souls nearly leaving their bodies!

"What kind of monster is this?"

"A Rank Five body, insta-killing Rank Sevens like slaughtering dogs?"

But they didn't dare stop, with only one thought in their minds.

Flee!

They had to flee!

They had to bring this intelligence back!

The assessment of this kid's strength was seriously wrong!

Dammit, a Rank Five Beast Tamer can insta-kill Rank Seven Beast Tamers? This is simply unheard of!

Too bizarre!
