Chapter 96: The King Walking with Small, Quick Steps!

She and Yin Kou shared a deep, blood-feud hatred.

Her once-happy family had been torn apart precisely because of Yin Zhong's family.

If it hadn't been for the help of her father's former subordinates, which allowed Yi Zimeng to narrowly escape the Imperial Capital, she would likely have been dead and gone by now.

"This person, leave him to me."

Yi Zimeng pointed at Yin Kou and said to the other three.

Her voice was filled with chilling killing intent.

The cold air radiating from Yi Zimeng at this moment seemed to make the surrounding temperature drop significantly.

Luo Shuiyan and the others could also guess the identity of the person opposite them; their gazes sank immediately, and their expressions turned serious.

"Yin Kou, this is your own family business; handle it yourself."

A young man in white standing beside Yin Kou glanced at Luo Shuiyan and the others, then said with contempt.

This person was the captain of the Jingtao Julang Team, Bai Jinglang.

He was a member of the Bai Family from the Imperial Capital, and the other two team members were also from major noble families of the Imperial Capital.

It could be said that whether in terms of strength or background, they were all extremely powerful.

Just by standing there, they made many people feel oppressed.

The members of this Jingtao Julang Team were all composed of disciples from noble families.

A year ago, Yin Kou was merely a substitute member on the team.

And it was his cousin, Yin Hao, who had brought him into the team.

However, after the great upheaval in the Yin Family, Yin Kou received a massive influx of cultivation resources, successfully rose in rank, and became a regular member of the Jingtao Julang Team.

As of now, Yin Kou had already cultivated to the Two-star King Level.

And the captain, Bai Jinglang, was even as high as the Three-star King Level.

Such formidable strength meant they didn't take Luo Shuiyan and the others seriously at all.

"Everyone be careful, the opponents we've encountered this time are far stronger than any before."

"Once the battle starts, try to stay close together and don't spread out too far, so we can still look out for each other."

Luo Shuiyan reminded everyone with a serious expression.

It could be said that this was a completely cross-rank battle; the opponents were an entire major realm stronger than all of them!

As the competition bell rang, the Jingtao Hailang Team charged directly toward Luo Shuiyan and the others.

At the same time, they also summoned their respective Spirit Beasts.

Hiss—a giant two-headed white snake appeared directly at Bai Jinglang's feet!

The snake's body was as thick as a water barrel and fully ten meters long! The snake scales reflected the sunlight with a cold, chilling glint that made one's scalp tingle!

Beside Yin Kou appeared a giant black python, similar in size to the two-headed white snake, or perhaps even a circle thicker! The other two members' Spirit Beasts were a Xuanjia Ghost with a powerful bloodline and a lightning tiger wreathed in golden lightning.

The four people's Spirit Beasts all released monstrous beastly pressure; none of them were simple creatures.

Especially with the black and white snakes both out, they brought an immense sense of oppression.

Although they were massive, their speed was not affected in the slightest, and they closed most of the distance in almost an instant.

Jiang Che no longer hid his skills this time and began to chant the Kirin Anthem directly.

One could see rays of divine light descending upon Luo Shuiyan, the other three, and the three Spirit Beasts including Little Tiger.

Under the enhancement of Jiang Che's skills, their defense, attack, speed, reaction, and spiritual power recovery were all strengthened in every aspect.

Facing a team composed entirely of King-level Beast Masters, they dared not be careless; fortunately, with Jiang Che's heaven-defying group buff skill, they could slightly narrow the gap.

Many strong onlookers widened their eyes upon seeing this scene.

"This is that miraculous Spirit Beast; it really is extraordinary. This buff skill is too heaven-defying!"

"Direct group buffs; everyone's strength has been enhanced by a huge margin..."

Many strong individuals looked at Jiang Che with eyes that suddenly lit up.

Enemies are especially jealous when they meet; Yi Zimeng's eyes were full of killing intent as she faced Yin Kou.

Cailin also instantly switched to battle form at this moment, her size growing instantly! She was over seven meters long.

Although she was quite a bit smaller than Yin Kou's Black Scaled Python, the aura she radiated was not weak. "A Seven-Colored Heaven-Swallowing Python! Heh, this Spirit Beast should return to the Yin Family today!"

Seeing Cailin's formidable appearance, a flash of greed crossed Yin Kou's eyes as he spoke coldly.

Bang! Bang! Bang! When the two snakes met, the battle was exceptionally intense.

Both Spirit Beasts could sense the hatred and killing intent of their Beast Tamers.

They fought to a standstill, and in an instant, the ground was crisscrossed with gullies.

The massive snake bodies smashed all the surrounding ancient trees into wood splinters.

The Black Scaled Python was already a Five-tier Spirit Beast, while Cailin was only Fourth Tier; her level was quite a bit lower than the Black Scaled Python's, as the two had a vast difference in cultivation time.

However, fortunately, relying on her powerful bloodline talent and a physical body even tougher than the Black Scaled Python's, Cailin managed to hold the battle line.

It was just that on Yi Zimeng's side, the battle was extremely arduous.

She was a full major realm behind Yin Kou, a gap Jiang Che's buff skill could not compensate for, and she soon showed signs of defeat.

On the other two battlefields, Lin Xue'er and Hu Xiaoxiao were in the same situation.

The level gap between the two sides was simply too great; under the absolute suppression of spiritual power, Lin Xue'er and Hu Xiaoxiao had almost no power to fight back.

Even though Hu Xiaoxiao used various powerful skills of the Xiaotian Sect and swung her black-gold Dharma Treasure spirit whip with great force, she still couldn't do anything to her opponent.

Little Tiger had received Jiang Che's buffs as well as the assistance of the Xiaotian Sect's skills.

Coupled with the power of the hidden bloodline within his body, Little Tiger, having switched to battle state, was like a different Spirit Beast, fighting with exceptional ferocity.

When two tigers fight, one is bound to be injured.

Little Tiger actually managed to repel the lightning tiger, which was of a higher level than him, multiple times!

Among the three little ones, only Little Tiger had gained the upper hand, but wanting to defeat the opponent would not be something that could be finished in a short while.

Yindiao, who had the weakest bloodline, had better luck and encountered the defensive Spirit Beast, the Xuanjia Ghost.

The thick shell on the back of that Xuanjia Ghost was incomparably heavy; even an offensive-type Spirit Beast might not be able to break through it.

But fortunately, Yindiao was a speed-type Spirit Beast, and at this moment, she was darting and dodging around the arena, so that Xuanjia Ghost could not even touch her shadow.

However, correspondingly, Ayin also had no way to deal with the Xuanjia Ghost.

The two of them were actually quite harmonious... it was as if they had come to slack off...

"Truly, newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. The Rose Maiden Team participating this year is indeed being a bit overconfident..."

The Dean of Tianque Academy was feeling some regret at this moment for letting Luo Shuiyan and the others participate.

Seeing the nearly one-sided situation in the arena, his brows were filled with worry.

"Shui Yan, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to intervene!"

Seeing Yi Zimeng and the others being completely suppressed and in precarious danger at this moment, anger rose in Jiang Che's heart.

Having spent so much time together, the relationship between them was very close, and he absolutely could not watch them get hurt, or even face a life-threatening crisis.

"Intervene then, they have already done very well!"

Luo Shuiyan nodded, feeling both gratified and heartbroken.

Among the four, only Luo Shuiyan herself was currently still able to barely cope.

But that White Golden Wolf was flying through the air, coordinating with the two-headed white snake to attack, and even Luo Shuiyan was helpless against it.

However, this urgent battle situation would all come to an end the moment Jiang Che intervened.

"Kirin Step!"

Jiang Che hovered in mid-air and directly unleashed the Kirin Step.

The powerful bloodline pressure of the Kirin Divine Beast covered the entire arena.

All the Spirit Beasts engaged in battle stopped at this moment.

These few Spirit Beasts seemed to see a primordial ferocious beast walking out from the ancient times, looking down upon all living things in the world! The crowd watching from outside the Secret Realm were all stunned in place at this moment, each and every one of them as if petrified.

What happened?!

Suppressing all the Spirit Beasts with bloodline pressure alone?!! (End of this chapter)
