Chapter 553

Due to Su Yang's influence, white mist swirled around Liu Mengyun.

Every member of the 14th Emergency Team wore grim expressions, their bodies radiating a deadly aura!

"Lieutenant Tao, if the opponent is only a Star Radiance-level Beast Tamer, leave them to me!"

"Fine!" Tao Sheng did not refuse, "but try not to cause too much damage."

"Understood!"

At this moment, they arrived at their destination.

"That's the general store!"

Su Yang shouted orders: "Surround it completely! Try to capture them alive!"

"Yes, Captain!"

"Liu Mengyun, freeze the entire surrounding area!"

Just as they surrounded the general store, the employees inside all turned pale with terror.

The terrified store owner tried to rush out and shout something…

White mist swept over them—the store owner and all his employees were frozen in place.

White mist spread wildly, engulfing the entire general store and several nearby buildings.

Civilians peeking from the buildings, flickering stove fires… all were frozen in place.

Layer by layer, frost crept across the nearby buildings.

Everything was encased in ice!

Zhou Wanshan frowned at Liu Mengyun, who calmly explained: "Don't worry, I have control—if we move fast, the innocent won't die, though they might catch a cold."

"Good enough!"

Su Yang did not immediately lead his team inside; his gaze fixed on the ground.

Liu Mengyun and the others had extensive experience dealing with the Shoushen Sect.

They immediately guessed what lay beneath.

Soon, violent tremors shook the ground.

The solid concrete pavement cracked and split under the vibrations.

With the Hellblood Vine in play, this road was blocked!

The general store collapsed with a boom—

Amid rolling dust, over a dozen figures emerged, riding flying beast companions.

The moment those figures appeared, they tried to flee—but only two actually escaped!

The remaining dozen or so Beast Tamers landed their beasts before Su Yang and his team.

Three of the Beast Tamers bore wounds—fresh, pinkish tendrils of Hellblood Vine were growing from them!

White mist brushed over them—all dozen figures were frozen in place.

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly glanced at Liu Mengyun, nodded, and withdrew its mental domination.

Controlling so many Shoushen Sect Beast Tamers at once still weighed heavily on it.

Most Shoushen Sect Beast Tamers preferred to have their mental-type beasts possess them—it made control far more difficult than with ordinary Beast Tamers.

It looked up, its two black, lifeless eyes fixed on two figures in the sky, its mouthparts curling and extending.

The two Shoushen Sect experts, seeing their subordinates controlled, showed no hesitation—they flew off in opposite directions.

Tao Sheng asked Su Yang: "Can you handle it?"

"Yes!"

The moment Su Yang spoke, he vanished from his spot and reappeared behind one of the Star Radiance-level Beast Tamers.

The Star Radiance-level Beast Tamer reacted instantly.

"Mental Shock!"

Too bad he was facing Su Yang.

Su Yang's Earth Tyrant Bear's mental resistance was already mythic-level!

With a single punch, Su Yang pierced him through!

Staring at the bloodied fist protruding from his chest, the Beast Tamer muttered: "Su Gou, you'll die a cursed death!"

"You'll all die before me anyway!"

In a flash, Su Yang teleported onto the flying mount of another Beast Tamer.

"Why run? Your Shoushen Sect is calling you!"

The Star Radiance-level beast, now without its master, tried to flee—only to be struck by lightning.

Storm Eagle effortlessly cut through countless deadly wind blades, tearing the beast in half.

Wind-based skills could no longer harm Storm Eagle.

The mythic-level Storm Child talent drastically reduced wind damage, combined with the mythic-level Blade Feather Wings' defense and the mythic-level Meteor from Beyond's speed boost—Thunder, Storm, Metal—it would surely become the King of the Skies!

Both Shoushen Sect Star Radiance-level experts fell to Su Yang in a single strike!

Su Yang dispatched them as easily as chopping vegetables—clean, swift, decisive!

Su Yang placed the two corpses of the Star Radiance-level peak Beast Tamers before the Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly.

Su Yang said: "Here, eat while it's hot!"

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly hesitated…

"Aren't you good at illusions?" Su Yang reassured it. "Use an illusion on yourself—imagine they're still alive. That way it's better, right? They're still warm, the taste should be about the same?"

The Seven-Colored Illusory Butterfly's flapping wings stopped.

Can illusions be used like this?

"Hurry up! If you hesitate any longer, you'll be done for—you'll throw up!"

The city guard arrived and began rescuing those frozen in ice.

Liu Mengyun withdrew her ice energy; the people remained unconscious and were easily subdued by the city guard.

Su Yang said to Zhou Wanshan: "Those frozen civilians may not live in the general store, but they could still be members of the Shoushen Sect—have your people be careful!"

"Yes, I understand!"
