Chapter 1023

Witch Secret Demon, King-rank Ghost-type pet beast, the King-rank form of the Treasure Witch. Logically, the beard should be yellow, but this one is white. Is it too old, or is it because it's a variant pet beast... Qiao Sang subconsciously began to ponder.

If it's a variant pet beast, maybe it has other means besides Ghost-type ones...

Seeing the young girl in the distance not answering, the young man's expression changed back and forth, and he finally laughed in anger, saying:

"Attack!"

Except for the Witch Secret Demon, the Dream Ghost, Sharp-Tooth Dragon, and Arrow-Blade Swallow King operated their energy almost simultaneously.

Everyone looked up at the sky, their hearts heavy, and they began to discuss:

"Should we go up and help?"

"Are you crazy? You're just a C-rank Beast Tamer, the other person is an A-rank!"

"This isn't a question of helping or not; look at whether we have the ability right now. We can't even handle these wild pet beasts."

"I see that the Emperor-rank pet beasts seem to have been taken away. I don't know what rank this remaining Beast Tamer is. Will she be okay?"

An old man with gray hair, wearing a black practice suit, stepped out. Looking at the sky, he said with a dignified air:

"Others risked danger to expose evil deeds and let us see the truth; how can we sit idly by? I have been beast taming until now to uphold justice. Anyway, I don't have many days left to live. Rather than letting this person's treacherous plot succeed and absorb our negative energy and death energy, it would be better to fight him to the death!"

His gaze was firm, his expression resolute, carrying a hint of determination to perish together and heroism.

Everyone listening on the side felt their blood boil.

"That's right, so what if he's an A-rank Beast Tamer? There are so many of us, are we afraid of him? His Emperor-rank pet beasts have all been taken away."

"Anyway, none of us have many days left to live. Rather than being sucked to death by wild Ghost-types, it's better to have a grand fight at the last moment!"

"That's right, this person used the news about the Soul-Guiding Cat to trick us here; his intentions are truly sinister. The reputation of Ghost-type pet beasts outside is all ruined by people like this!"

The old man in the black practice suit stepped on the spread-out claws of a Ghost-type pet beast about nine meters tall beside him and said loudly:

"Let me lead the way for you! Old partner, let's go!"

The Ghost-type pet beast, about nine meters tall, also had a resolute look in its eyes. It turned into a purple light and charged toward the young man high in the sky.

Poker Clown, King-rank Ghost-type pet beast, likes gambling and absorbing the greed of gamblers... Everyone recognized the pet beast charging toward the sky.

It was this Poker Clown that had just helped deal with a group of wild Ghost-type pet beasts, saving many people.

Everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, clenching their fists, revealing nervousness and anticipation.

The purple light was extremely fast and fierce, reaching a distance of only about a hundred meters from the opponent in the blink of an eye.

"Submerged Spirit Surprise Attack!" the old man shouted.

Submerged Spirit Surprise Attack, a high-tier Ghost-type skill; it disappears briefly and then approaches the opponent for a surprise attack, ignoring skills like protection. The disappearance here doesn't mean simple invisibility, but entering a different space to accumulate power... Many people had the data on Submerged Spirit Surprise Attack flash through their minds, and the anticipation and nervousness in their eyes grew even stronger.

High in the sky, the purple light disappeared from where it was.

Then it suddenly appeared about a few dozen meters behind the young man, charging toward him with a terrifying whistling sound.

Just as the Poker Clown appeared, the Witch Secret Demon turned its head, its expression unchanged, just calmly opening its mouth.

A thick black beam of light sprayed out from its mouth, accurately striking the Poker Clown.

"Poker!"

The Poker Clown let out a miserable cry, and the old man fell from the sky along with it.

Everyone: "..."

At this moment, a massive purple figure charged downward, steadily catching the old man.

"Steel Sword."

Gangbao placed the old man safely on the ground, flapped its wings, and flew back up.

Everyone looked at each other, seeing retreat in each other's eyes.

"Maybe we should just forget it. No matter what, he's an A-rank Beast Tamer. Even if the Emperor-rank pet beast isn't by his side, his strength isn't something we can contend with."

"The Poker Clown was taken out in seconds; what can we do if we go up..."

"Exactly, we'd just be adding to the chaos."

"Let's see if that Beast Tamer up there can do it first."

"I don't want to die here, I clearly have half a year left to live..."

"Who wants to die here? I'm only 27!"

"I thought you just looked young... Then why did you come here?"

"I have an incurable disease and don't have many days left. I wanted to find the Soul-Guiding Cat and then be reincarnated into my mother's womb."

"... Sorry."

Heavy emotions spread, and pessimism, despair, and other emotions surged in everyone's eyes again.

Suddenly, someone shouted:

"Quick, move aside!"

Everyone was stunned, looking up to see a massive figure falling from the sky. They were startled and hurriedly scattered.

"Bang!"

The next second, with a loud noise, the figure fell heavily to the ground, causing the ground to crack and sink.

Once the dust scattered a bit, everyone surrounded the giant crater, leaning in to look.

Someone shouted in surprise: "It's the Sharp-Tooth Dragon! It's that guy's Sharp-Tooth Dragon!"

Others also saw the pet beast in the crater clearly. They were stunned at first, then their tense expressions relaxed, joy appearing on their faces, and they all looked up at the figures high in the sky.

High in the sky.

The young man's expression was ugly. With a wave of his hand, he recalled the Sharp-Tooth Dragon and the Dream Ghost, which had fainted under the pressure, back into his Beast Taming Tome.

The Arrow-Blade Swallow King split into two, then four, then countless, turning into countless white lights with great momentum, charging straight at Qiao Sang and Like Ya Bao and the others.

"Ice Emperor."

Lubao stood on Like Ya Bao's head, the cold air on its body spreading.

The surrounding temperature plummeted.

The bone-chilling ice energy spread rapidly.

Almost in the blink of an eye, all the Arrow-Blade Swallow Kings that had charged over turned into ice sculptures, remaining high in the sky.

Subsequently, all the Arrow-Blade Swallow Kings that had turned into ice sculptures shattered into ice crystals, leaving only one Arrow-Blade Swallow King ice sculpture remaining high in the sky.

Like Ya Bao opened its mouth, and a red-and-gold beam of light instantly condensed, charging straight at it.

But at this moment, a thick black wave attacked from behind the Arrow-Blade Swallow King, colliding head-on with the red-and-gold beam of light.

"Boom!"

Flames and heat waves rolled, terrifying energy exploded, and the shockwave shook the space as if it were trembling.

The Arrow-Blade Swallow King, not far from the shockwave, was affected. The ice shell on its body shattered directly, and it flew backward amidst the violent explosion.

"Lubao." Qiao Sang said.

Lubao didn't speak, just blindly spreading the cold air on its body.

The next second, the falling Arrow-Blade Swallow King, as well as the young man and the Witch Secret Demon in the distance, all froze with a crackling sound, covered in a thick ice shell, turning into ice sculptures and remaining where they were.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, then clamored, the waves of surprise gathering:

"They're actually suppressing them!"

"We're going to win! We're going to win!"

"Holy crap, even an A-rank Beast Tamer is being suppressed. What rank is this big shot!"

"No need to think, it must be A-rank too! This big shot saw that the villain's Emperor-rank pet beast wasn't by his side, and because she was worried about us, she didn't summon her Emperor-rank pet beast to fight."

"That's right, if it were an Emperor-rank pet beast, we would definitely have suffered too."

"I didn't expect there to be so many big shots coming to Lost Town this time."

"It's a good thing the news about the Soul-Guiding Cat was released, otherwise no big shots would have come over."

"This big shot is so well-maintained, she looks like she's only in her teens. I didn't expect her to be near the end of her life too..."

"Thinking that I cursed her pet beast earlier, I really feel like I deserve to die!"

Many people showed ecstasy, even excitement.

They had thought they were doomed today, becoming fodder for others to absorb energy for their Ghost-type pet beasts. They didn't expect a capable person to appear and expose the truth. Even more unexpectedly, this capable person seemed even more badass than they had imagined, actually suppressing an A-rank Beast Tamer!

Qiao Sang raised her hand, just about to snap her fingers, but then remembered there was still a group of people below, so she silently lowered it and said:

"Explode."

Like Ya Bao opened its mouth, and the red-and-gold beam of light shot out again.

No one noticed that the eyes of the Witch Secret Demon inside the ice shell moved.

"Boom!"

The red-and-gold beam of light struck the Arrow-Blade Swallow King head-on.

Along with the powerful shockwave, the ice shell on the Arrow-Blade Swallow King shattered, and it fell downward.

At the same time, a black hole about a meter in diameter suddenly appeared behind Qiao Sang.

A purple claw with three short toes slowly reached out from it.

"Careful!"

Before everyone could be happy about the Arrow-Blade Swallow King's fall, they saw this horrifying scene and couldn't help but change their expressions, shouting loudly.

Qiao Sang was already used to automatically blocking out surrounding sounds during battles and didn't hear the shouting below. However, she still felt a chill down her back and an inexplicable sense of crisis, instinctively turning her head to look.

At the same time, Like Ya Bao opened its mouth and sprayed the red-and-gold beam of light straight at the Witch Secret Demon.

With a "bang," the ice shell shattered, and the Witch Secret Demon was pierced through and disappeared.

"Xun xun!"

At this moment, Little Xunbao let out a loud cry.

Immediately after, Qiao Sang, who hadn't seen what was behind her, went black before her eyes. When her vision cleared, she found herself sitting on Like Ya Bao, appearing hundreds of meters away.

And where she had been, a black hole appeared, with a claw reaching out.

"Xun xun..." Little Xunbao breathed a sigh of relief.

Good thing it teleported in time...

It's the Witch Secret Demon's claw... Qiao Sang recognized this claw, and then thought of something, her back almost breaking out in a cold sweat.

This scene reminded her of an Interstellar Cup match she had seen on TV, where that humanoid Emperor-rank pet beast also suddenly emerged from a black hole.

Don't panic, one is a King-rank Ghost-type pet beast, the other is a Psychic-type Emperor-rank pet beast; they are completely incomparable, just possessing similar skills... Qiao Sang steadied her emotions and subconsciously began to analyze:

It seems this Witch Secret Demon used a substitute earlier. I remember the move that allows Ghost-type pet beasts to achieve this ability is called Shadow Penetration, which allows them to enter a different world—the world of spirits—shortening the distance in reality and appearing eerily where they want to appear...

This situation is actually easy to solve. Lubao's Ice Sky Domain can't freeze the other world, but it can freeze the Witch Secret Demon the moment it appears. This isn't a competition; the simplest way to force a hidden pet beast to appear is...

Just as she was thinking, Gangbao flapped its wings hard, and hundreds of purple-glowing feathers suddenly attacked the young man, who had thawed due to Lubao's space movement, like ten thousand arrows fired at once.

A black hole appeared out of thin air in front of the young man, and all the purple blades attacking in this direction rushed into it and disappeared.

Shadow Penetration, a super-tier Ghost-type skill. If the proficiency is high enough, it can suck all incoming attacks into a black hole. A King-rank Ghost-type pet beast, without any golden finger, actually practiced this move to this extent... Qiao Sang's heart sank, and she couldn't help but glance down at the people battling the wild Ghost-type pet beasts.

If there weren't so many people, Like Ya Bao's Meteor Shower, or Radiant Impact, plus Lubao's Ice Sky Domain and a super-sized Giant Ice Spike, could all neatly take care of the opponent...

Steady, even if the Witch Secret Demon is strong, there's only one of it. It's absolutely impossible for it to be strong enough to create black holes in different directions simultaneously... Thinking of this, Qiao Sang said loudly:

"Different positions, all at once!"

"Xun xun!"

Little Xunbao teleported above the young man and waved its claws. Black shadows like black silk immediately shot out from its fingertips, crazily downward.

Gangbao turned into a purple light and arrived to the left of the young man, flapping its wings hard, and hundreds of purple blades shot out again.

Like Ya Bao opened its mouth, and terrifying energy condensed within.

Lubao radiated cold air visible to the naked eye.

The young man's eyes sharpened, and he shouted:

"Don't worry about me!"

Almost the moment he shouted this, Qiao Sang felt a cold touch on her head.

She looked up and saw a claw resting on her head, while the Witch Secret Demon's head was still hiding in the black hole, not even its eyes visible.

"Witch witch." A calm and old voice came from the black hole.

Like Ya Bao and the others were stunned and stopped their movements simultaneously.

"Hahaha..." the young man laughed.

But at this moment, a dazzling red star array lit up above him.

"Qing qing!"

A irritable and angry voice sounded, and a violent gale poured down from high above.

The gale, with an unstoppable momentum, swept the young man down from high in the sky.

... Qiao Sang was stunned, a thought echoing in her mind:

I didn't even form any seals, how did Qingbao appear!

Immediately after, a second thought arose:

Holy crap! How did I not notice just now, Light-Seeking Sora is gone, how has this person been hovering in the air the whole time?

Even though the Witch Secret Demon's claw was still pressing on her head, the scene before her was so shocking that Qiao Sang momentarily forgot her own crisis.

As the thoughts flashed, the cold feeling on her head disappeared.

"Witch witch!"

The black hole appeared where the young man was falling. The Witch Secret Demon was finally no longer calm. It crawled out of the black hole anxiously, reached out its claws, and caught its Beast Tamer.

"Xun xun!"

"Steel Sword!"

"Ya ya!"

"Ice Emperor!"

Like Ya Bao and the others showed angry expressions, all operating their energy.

Shadow Balls, purple blades, red-and-gold beams of light, and Giant Ice Spikes like small mountains all converged and attacked downward.

The Witch Secret Demon sensed the crisis, its entire body crawled out of the black hole, and it turned to protect its Beast Tamer in its arms.

"Bang!!!"

All the attacks struck it.

"Witch witch!"

The Witch Secret Demon let out a miserable cry.
