Strong Opposition

Astonish Sky frowned as he looked at Ye Chen. Though somewhat surprised, he was far from being intimidated.

There are too many inexplicable things in this world. Don't rush, don't panic. So what if there are four pets? A mere LV63! Can it even be taken seriously?

Hearing Astonish Sky's words, Golden Sword and the others fell silent, their expressions quickly returning to normal.

Dark Walker looked at Blood Asura and said to Astonish Sky, 'Master, that's it! That's the pet!'

Dark Walker pointed at Blood Asura.

Astonish Sky nodded, looking at Blood Asura. Although he couldn't sense the Dark Origin on Blood Asura, he had a feeling this Blood Asura seemed different somehow.

'Kid, you're a smart one. You have four pets; one more or one less shouldn't matter. Leave this pet behind, and you can all go. I, Astonish Sky, am not one who kills indiscriminately.'

Ye Chen laughed, saying disdainfully, 'Your Excellency Astonish Sky, what kind of talk is that? What do you mean by one more or one less? You have so many brothers. How about this: you hand over any four of your brothers and sisters, one more or one less doesn't matter, and I'll give you Blood Asura. How about that?'

The faces of Astonish Sky and the four, including Golden Sword, instantly darkened.

'Kid, you're really pushing it. You're looking for death!'

'Enough talk! Come on!'

Ye Chen gave a fierce shout, gripping the Thunderclap Blade tightly.

Astonish Sky's face turned displeased, and he snorted coldly, 'Fine! If you're seeking death, don't blame others! Get them!'

The four's pets were summoned immediately.

Between LV63 and LV70, there was a difference of nearly a hundred thousand in combat power. Ye Chen had to be cautious!

Who knew if the enemy had pets or skills like Dark Ji's that ignored all defense and dealt true damage.

'Brother Ye Chen, with your four pets, we have eight. We...'

Ye Chen knew what Divine Blade wanted to say and spoke up, 'You two fight one. I'll take on Dark Walker alone!'

'Brother Ye Chen, this...!'

Divine Blade said with concern.

'It's fine!'

With that, Ye Chen shouted loudly, 'Divine Thunder Empowerment!'

A powerful lightning force erupted from Ye Chen's body, swirling around him as he entered the state of Divine Thunder Empowerment.

Threads of lightning crackled around Ye Chen, accompanied by the sizzling and popping sounds of electricity.

The battle was imminent. Ye Chen and Dark Walker clashed together.

Blood Asura and Dark Ji, as usual, teamed up to deal with Golden Sword!

Dan Shi looked at Huo Rong!

'Shall the two of us have a go?'

Huo Rong's entire body burned, emanating fierce flames. Its massive fiery fists seemed forged from molten lava.

Gun Gun stood in front of Dan Shi. 'Big Sis, I'll hold it off for you. You attack!'

Dan Shi nodded.

Divine Blade and Blade of Elimination dealt with the Phoenix Roar Beast.

Fine Moon and Wan Yue took on the Waterfreeze Crow!

The battle began!

Ye Chen struck first, his Thunderclap Blade clashing with the rapier in Dark Walker's hand.

Sparks flew in the darkness.

Clang!

'Thunder Movement Three Thousand!'

Had Ye Chen completely mastered the skills of the Ninefold Thunder Blade, knowing which level was most suitable in which situation?

The thunder eye on the Thunderclap Blade opened, releasing a powerful bolt of lightning that enveloped the blade.

The lightning traveled along Dark Walker's rapier, spreading towards Dark Walker's body.

After being struck by the lightning, Dark Walker convulsed briefly.

Its golden eyes narrowed slightly, seeming to gaze at Ye Chen with a hint of anger.

'Thunder attribute! Not bad! But you're just a Pet Master. In my eyes, you're still trash!'

Dark Walker flicked its wrist, withdrawing the rapier.

'Soul Attack!'

Dark Walker retreated, continuously waving its rapier. Clusters of black spheres shot towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen could sense these black spheres were no ordinary attack.

'Heavenly Violent Thunder Lead!'

A ball of lightning was hurled from the Thunderclap Blade, colliding with the black spheres.

Boom!

Blood Asura and Dark Ji, coordinating well, were also pressing Golden Sword!

However, the situation wasn't entirely favorable.

Although they were pressing the attack, Golden Sword possessed exceptionally high defense.

While the Lie Tian Spear and Chaos Scythe ignored defense, that only applied to the enemy's base defense. Defense from equipment still couldn't be ignored.

Blood Asura frowned slightly and said, 'Second Sister, I'll hold him off. You attack!'

Dark Ji's Flaw dealt true damage, so it didn't matter how high his defense was.

It was just that this scoundrel Golden Sword was too cunning, constantly blocking with his weapon, giving Dark Ji few opportunities to strike him.

A red light flashed over Blood Asura's body. Bloodthirst! Critical Strike! Activated!

'Dark Origin, Darkness Possession!'

A stream of black gas flowed from within Blood Asura, slowly enveloping the Chaos Scythe.

Not far away, Astonish Sky had been observing Blood Asura. When he saw Blood Asura's actions,

His expression turned somewhat astonished. 'I never expected this fellow's Dark Origin could achieve Darkness Possession. It seems his Dark Origin is the offensive type! If I could obtain it, my combat power would surely rise significantly, and breaking through to LV71 wouldn't be a problem!'

The leap from LV70 to LV71 was qualitative, but breaking through wasn't as simple as just needing experience.

It required other things as well. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many monsters stuck at LV70, unable to advance.

Even powerful ones like Darknight One, along with Yin Fire and Yang Fire.

They were strong, not overly intimidated even by LV71 monsters, but they were unlucky, lacking sufficient Opportunity to break through to LV71!

This group led by Astonish Sky was in the same situation!

These five's experience points were probably already maxed, but unfortunately, without the right Opportunity, they couldn't advance.

Things weren't looking too good on Divine Blade's side.

The Phoenix Roar Beast possessed a very peculiar sonic wave attack.

Each sonic wave attack caused excruciating pain to Divine Blade's pets.

Fine Moon and Wan Yue were being beaten to the point of shame.

Although their combined pets were formidable, they weren't controlled by the same person, after all.

The Waterfreeze Crow was very clever, never giving Fine Moon and the other a chance to fight two against one, instead choosing to pick them off one by one.

'Pet Master! How can you be this strong? Your attacks are actually on par with mine!'

Dark Walker said in a low voice, its right hand clutching its chest.

A moment of carelessness had allowed Ye Chen to slash its chest with a Great Extinction.

Dark Walker looked at Ye Chen with a gloomy expression.

If not for its mythic-grade defensive equipment, the damage from that strike would certainly not have been so simple.

Ye Chen coldly eyed Dark Walker, also feeling the pressure.

This Dark Walker's attacks were somewhat bizarre, each one carrying a dark power.

It made defense difficult. If not for the protection of the Heavenly God Armor, Ye Chen estimated his injuries would be worse than Dark Walker's.

'One Against a Thousand!'

Dark Ji roared, swiftly arriving before Golden Sword, thrusting the Lie Tian Spear straight into Golden Sword's chest.

Thud!

'What! How could she possibly break through my Golden Sword's defense!'

Golden Sword's master was also named Golden Sword. The Pet Master Golden Sword shouted angrily.

'My pet is the epitome of ultimate yang and hardness! How could it harm Golden Sword!'
