Chapter 1397: Ya Bao VS Shuihangniu

"Shuihangniu's Water Abyss Barrier blocked the attack of the Explosive Flame Bullet!" Auror shouted on the commentary stage.

"Fire-heaven."

Fire Heaven Fire Qilin revealed an emotional expression and let out a cry.

It seems the Risk Dice from the previous match indeed had a significant impact on Burning Emperor Duo's state.

Nephthys said: "When the black energy on Burning Emperor Duo disappears, it means the influence of the Risk Dice has also disappeared. However, I think based on the duration of the effect of the Risk Dice number 6, Burning Emperor Duo's state should be affected for the entire match."

Just during the host's commentary, Ya Bao split into two, then four, then countless.

Countless Burning Emperor Duos instantly occupied every corner of the field.

High altitude, mid-air, ground—all the Burning Emperor Duos opened their mouths and simultaneously spat golden-red beams of light toward the direction of Shuihangniu.

The magnificence of the scene made even Shuihangniu, known for being cold, change its expression slightly.

"Split."

At this time, its trainer's voice entered its ears.

Just as countless golden-red beams of light were about to hit Shuihangniu, it suddenly transformed into countless, also filling every corner of the field.

Only hearing a "bang" heaven-shaking loud noise, the shockwave rolled with flames and spread in all directions.

The entire air vibrated violently, and wherever the shockwave passed, the clones of Burning Emperor Duo and Shuihangniu all vanished.

No miserable cry from Shuihangniu was heard, and in the places not affected, the clones of Shuihangniu also remained.

Didn't hit the main body... Qiao Sang made a judgment quickly and said: "Together."

As soon as the words fell, all the remaining Burning Emperor Duos opened their mouths in unison. In front of each Burning Emperor Duo, a giant Burning Emperor Duo head condensed from flames instantly formed, baring its sharp teeth, synchronizing its movements, and biting fiercely at the nearest Shuihangniu.

All the Shuihangnius reacted quickly, also synchronizing their movements, raising their tails that were instantly swept up by water currents, and whipping them heavily at the Burning Emperor Duos.

"Bang bang bang!!!"

The deafening explosion sounds came one after another. In the intense collision, the Burning Emperor Duos and Shuihangnius almost all collapsed and vanished, leaving only one Burning Emperor Duo in the high altitude biting tightly onto the tail of one Shuihangniu.

"Shuihang!"

Shuihangniu revealed a pained expression, the water current wrapped around its tail suddenly expanded by double, the color of the water current also turned from light blue to deep blue, increased its strength, and whipped it downward fiercely.

Ya Bao was blasted away directly, flying backward diagonally to the ground.

Amidst the massive Water-type energy, Ya Bao's claws dug tightly into the ground, and after landing, it drew a heavy gully along the ground.

"Shuihangniu's strength has the upper hand!" Auror shouted on the commentary stage.

Nephthys shouted: "Burning Emperor Duo has already fought one match, is now affected by the Risk Dice, and from the perspective of attributes, Shuihangniu also happens to counter it. This match, I'm afraid Burning Emperor Duo is having a hard time fighting."

"Fire-heaven."

"Fire-heaven."

Fire Heaven Fire Qilin looked at the field, revealed an admiring expression, and let out two cries, indicating that Shuihangniu's reaction could fully keep up with Burning Emperor Duo's attack rhythm; even if it unleashed clones, it knew how to use the Water Dance Ring to make itself and its clones appear in the air to confront Burning Emperor Duo's clones.

In the air, a high-speed rotating water ring was floating under each of Shuihangniu's four limbs at this time.

Water Dance Ring, a Water-type High-rank skill, has no attack effect, but it can create a high-speed rotating water ring under the pet beast's feet, allowing Water-type pet beasts that cannot fly to gain the ability to move in the air. It can be considered an extremely rare skill, basically unseen among Water-type pet beasts, so even though it is an auxiliary skill without any bonuses, it was classified as High-rank by the Beast Taming Alliance... After the relevant data of the Water Dance Ring surfaced in Qiao Sang's mind, her gaze fell from the rotating water ring onto Shuihangniu.

Others don't know and just think Ya Bao is affected by the Risk Dice, but she knows clearly that without the influence of the Risk Dice, Ya Bao's state is twice what it is now; currently, it can be considered its normal state.

Although Fire Fang is only a Mid-rank skill, it is Ya Bao's signature skill; it practiced it to the Profound level a long time ago, and its power definitely cannot be defined by a simple Mid-rank skill.

And in the case of Ya Bao biting the opponent, it will definitely not be easily shaken off.

This Shuihangniu's energy is far above Ya Bao's; even if it's not mid-stage Emperor-rank, it should be close... Qiao Sang reached a conclusion, her brain running wildly.

If this is the case, with Ya Bao's current state fighting Shuihangniu, the initiative will definitely fall into the opponent's hands quickly. Once the initiative falls into the opponent's hands, it's over...

However, it's not without a way; either trigger Blaze, or let the effect of the Risk Dice disappear.

The former depends on intense fighting; if the initiative falls into Shuihangniu's hands, Blaze will be triggered sooner or later. As for the latter, it can be controlled by itself.

The effect of the Risk Dice number 6 lasts about ten minutes. Little Treasure Hunter, Lubao, and Gangbao can drag it out for about ten minutes, but with Ya Bao's battle style, dragging it out for ten minutes is unlikely...

Come to think of it, I don't know if the malicious power formed by the Risk Dice counts as a type of curse power...

If it is curse power...

As thoughts flashed, Ya Bao had already stabilized its figure, but immediately teleported away again.

Shuihangniu sensed the crisis and moved quickly by relying on the high-speed rotating water ring under its feet.

However, in the next second, massive gravity descended.

Shuihangniu was caught off guard and fell straight down with a "whoosh" under the heavy pressure.

"Water Field." Gaston responded quickly and issued a command.

Shuihangniu fell to the ground.

However, the scene of crashing heavily to the ground that was imagined did not happen. Just as Shuihangniu made contact with the ground, ripples circled at the point of contact, spreading rapidly to the entire field like water waves.

The next moment, the field turned blue, and the entire ground transformed into a Water Field.

Shuihangniu fell into it, presenting huge ripples, and disappeared without a trace.

"Shuihangniu has unleashed Water Field!" Nephthys said on the commentary stage.

"This move avoided Shuihangniu suffering damage and also turned the ground into a field advantageous to itself. Contestant Gaston used this move beautifully," Auror praised.

"Fire-heaven."

"Fire-heaven."

Fire Heaven Fire Qilin let out two cries, indicating that if Burning Emperor Duo were just a simple Fire-type, the field turning into a Water Field would definitely make it fall into a predicament directly. However, Burning Emperor Duo not only has wings but also the Psychic-type attribute; as long as Burning Emperor Duo doesn't land on the ground, the Water Field shouldn't have any effect on it.

Just as Fire Heaven Fire Qilin was analyzing, Ya Bao raised its head and opened its mouth.

Almost at the same time Ya Bao raised its head and opened its mouth, Gaston realized something and issued a command:

"Rain."

A crimson energy ball containing terrifying power was instantly spat out from Ya Bao's mouth.

At the same time, dark clouds gathered in the sky rapidly, and the ink-like dark clouds rolled.

With a "bang" sound.

The crimson energy ball exploded at the highest point, and countless fire rains mixed with sudden heavy rain descended.

The burning, raging fire rain made contact with the rain in the air, and many fire rains were extinguished directly.

But there were still many fire rains descending onto the Water Field.

"Bang bang bang!"

The fire rain descended, and the Water Field was impacted by violent power, as if countless bombs had been thrown into it, and water splashes rose high one after another.

Amidst countless splashing water waves, Shuihangniu's figure suddenly emerged from them, a deep blue barrier enveloped its body, blocking the continuously falling fire rain.

Ya Bao opened its mouth immediately, and a magnificent golden-red beam of light pierced the sky and struck rapidly toward the direction of Shuihangniu diagonally downward.

At the same time, the Water Field surged wildly like a tsunami, and then pillars of water surged up from it, instantly tossing into the high altitude.

Several of the water pillars struck the golden-red beam of light accurately.

"Bang!"

With a loud noise, the fierce shockwave accompanied by flames scattered, and the remaining water pillars all continued to rise, concentrating and sweeping toward the direction of Ya Bao.

Ya Bao remained motionless, its eyes glowing with blue light.

The next second, all the water pillars attacking it were controlled by an invisible force, stalled in the air for an instant, and then turned downward sharply, changing direction, and sweeping toward Shuihangniu in the Water Field.

However, just when all the water pillars had only descended a dozen meters, they were suddenly controlled by a force again and stalled in the air.

Two forces acted on the water pillars simultaneously, the water pillars shook violently, and soon, one of the forces gained the upper hand, and all the water pillars rose together again, surging toward the direction of Ya Bao.

"Shuihangniu has regained control of the water pillars!" Auror shouted on the commentary stage.

"It seems that in terms of energy, Shuihangniu is a cut above," Nephthys said.

"Fire-heaven."

"Fire-heaven."

Fire Heaven Fire Qilin let out two cries, indicating that Shuihangniu's strength is not that its energy is higher than Burning Emperor Duo's, but its control over Water-type energy. You must know that two forces of control acting on the water pillars makes it easy for the water pillars to be unable to bear it and explode, but the water pillars bore it and re-initiated the attack; this must be precise control by the party with stronger energy, otherwise, if it were too strong or too weak, it wouldn't let the water pillars re-initiate the attack.

Nephthys said emotionally:

"Fire Heaven Fire Qilin's analysis is very thorough."

Auror was also emotional: "The influence of the Risk Dice on Burning Emperor Duo is too great, otherwise in the energy confrontation, Burning Emperor Duo might not necessarily lose to Fire Heaven Fire Qilin."

During the conversation, Ya Bao's expression in the high altitude became more and more excited; it teleported away and dodged the concentrated attack of all the water pillars.

However, suddenly, it sensed something, and its brows furrowed.

It was at this moment that the Water Field surged with countless water pillars again, surging toward Ya Bao.

This time, the water pillars did not attack in a concentrated manner.

Ya Bao teleported and dodged the water pillars attacking directly.

However, when it appeared in another direction, another water pillar attacked directly.

Ya Bao's body was massive, and the water pillars' attacks were dense. At first, it dodged quite easily, but later, its speed clearly slowed down, and it even almost got hit, only able to rely on spitting flames to break the attacking water pillars.

On the commentary stage, Fire Heaven Fire Qilin revealed a look of doubt and let out a cry:

"Fire-heaven?"

Burning Emperor Duo's reaction ability and speed have clearly slowed down. Could it be that the influence of the Risk Dice still becomes more and more obvious over time?

"It's not the Risk Dice," Nephthys said. "It's Heavy Rain."

"It must be Heavy Rain, otherwise how could Burning Emperor Duo's reaction be so slow." In the spectator stands, the crowd started discussing one after another.

It is no secret that Shuihangniu can use Heavy Rain.

"Holy crap! So Shuihangniu unleashed Heavy Rain! I thought Burning Emperor Duo's reaction slowed down because of the Risk Dice."

"Both of these are reasons; Burning Emperor Duo was weakened too miserably, both by the Risk Dice and Heavy Rain."

"I thought Burning Emperor Duo could win this match..."

"How could it not win? Burning Emperor Duo's Blaze hasn't been triggered yet; did you forget? Its Blaze is golden."

On the high platform, Qiao Sang reached out and felt the rain falling on the field.

Every drop of rain that fell on her hand made her feel her hand become a few points heavier.

Heavy Rain, a Water-type High-rank skill; the falling rain is full of weight, and falling on the target will make the target continuously increase gravity and slow down its speed... Qiao Sang withdrew her hand, and after the relevant data surfaced in her mind, her expression remained unchanged, and she issued a command:

"Rise."

The skills of Water-type pet beasts have never had an advantage in air combat, because Flying-type pet beasts or Psychic-type pet beasts can continuously rise, while the skills unleashed by Water-type skills, no matter how high the skill power is, are limited.

Rain-type skills can indeed counter pet beasts moving in the air very well, especially Heavy Rain, but it counters Flying-type more, not Psychic-type.

Ya Bao teleported away and appeared at a height that the crowd of water pillars couldn't reach.

Immediately after, Qiao Sang issued a command again: "Purify."

Although the height Ya Bao rose to looked like a red dot from the ground, it still clearly heard its trainer's voice in its ears. It was stunned for a moment, and then thought of something, and its eyes lit up.

In a place no one saw, golden flames suddenly burned in its body, and wherever it passed, the black energy disappeared at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Sacred Fire can actually purify the malicious influence produced by the Risk Dice... Qiao Sang, who had been feeling Ya Bao's state, had her eyes light up.

Purify? What does it mean... Gaston didn't dwell on it and said:

"Original Claw."

As soon as the words fell, a thick water pillar surged up from under Shuihangniu, instantly rushing it to high altitude.

"Shuihang!"

Then, Shuihangniu raised its claw and stomped down hard.

The thick water pillar below collapsed, but Shuihangniu did not fall down with it; the high-speed rotating water rings on its four limbs kept it in the air.

Just as Shuihangniu stomped down hard with its claw, in the high altitude, all the falling rain suddenly gathered in one place, rapidly forming a giant claw about a hundred meters tall with four giant toes!

Its appearance was exactly the same as the claws on Shuihangniu's four limbs.

Original Water Body, a Water-type Super-rank skill; it can make all the Water-type energy around gather into a shape identical to itself, and it can perform attacks like a tsunami with just a move.

If the proficiency is insufficient, it can only condense a part of the body. ===== CHAPTER 1398 =====
