Chapter 86: White-hot

With each step, legendary puppet beasts from all directions would frenziedly lunge at him, even if torn to pieces they would not hesitate; Jiang Xia's every step fell upon the remains of those legendary puppet beasts.

Seeing the corpses continually piling before Jiang Xia, that pure violence, the fist-to-flesh sensation, his massive body twisted in the air.

Even the Bishop, a Tooth Blood Vampire who had experienced many wars, felt inferior to the present Jiang Xia.

At the same time, the terrifying infectivity of the legendary puppet beasts gradually lost its effect.

Under the light of the Moon Eye, many Tooth Blood Vampires with slightly greater strength had already killed most of their enemies.

The enemies on the battlefield also began to gradually merge, and the urgent priority was to take them down in one fell swoop, break through the encirclement, and attack Demon Realm City.

And the Bishop's severely wounded body was continually losing vital energy, his body barely able to stand.

His multicolored scales were already more than half shattered, and the black cloak behind him remained only half.

But once time was prolonged and precautions taken, the legendary puppet beasts' brainwashing tactics were seen through.

A powerful gust instantly swept the battlefield, his massive body gradually shrank back to normal monster size, and flew toward Ta Ya.

The lion's bloodline began incessantly devouring other races' Tooth Blood Vampire bloodlines, combining all animal advantages, and together birthing the Tooth Blood Vampire, the strangest monster in history.

Meanwhile, the Bishop, barely supporting himself, finally felt relieved when Jiang Xia returned, and happily entrusted the duty of protecting Ta Ya to Jiang Xia.

His robust body and resilient skin were formed from a combination of beast-class Tooth Blood Vampires.

The tail behind him fused various Tooth Blood Vampires capable of using tentacles, octopuses, sea jellies, and so on.

But he likewise understood that this was not the final battle; he could only barely suppress his fighting urge and conserve his strength.

The radiance of the Moon Eye is everywhere; now it merely slightly reduced its influence.

When the claw imbued with Tooth Blood Vampire sliced the skin of the legendary puppet beast, it not only spat out blinding firelight, like welding cutting hard steel, and blinding sparks continually erupted in the battlefield's center.

After the legendary puppet beast's power accumulated within Jiang Xia's body, it began to contend with his Tooth Blood Vampire bloodline, while the available Tooth Blood Vampire bloodline for replenishment gradually dwindled.

Even Ta Ya stopped the slaughter with reason, wanting to conserve strength for the final enemy.

A tail like a steel whip continually left deep, bone-revealing wounds on the legendary puppet beast's body.

And the Bishop well knew, according to records, that the first-generation Tooth Blood Vampire King—Ta Ya's grandfather—was dragged to death by a swarm of legendary puppet beasts.

Moreover, the insect traits were even more numerous; behind him, the skeletal framework of the double wings was composed of Spider Legs.

Not only did the legendary puppet beast side gain the Moon Eye's boon, but Jiang Xia also obtained some of the Moon Eye's power.

At times like this, leave the battle to us; please rest assured and recover your Magic Emperor power.

But the most crucial person never appeared; the Legendary Puppet Beast King stationed in Demon Realm City never made a move.

The expended power made Jiang Xia frown; he quickly flew away from the battlefield's center and landed beside Ta Ya.

The reason his appearance remains lion-like is that the Lion Tooth Blood Vampire bloodline within Jiang Xia is the strongest.

Shen Yang and Jiang Xia stood before Ta Ya, waiting for him to fully recover his Magic Emperor power within, although such a battle appeared grand in momentum.

Even without using techniques, Jiang Xia still pressed down on the remaining legendary puppet beasts like a tiger among sheep, his beast claws repeatedly tearing apart the incessantly approaching legendary puppet beasts.

At this moment, although the legendary puppet beasts, aided by the Moon Eye, could brainwash and control enemies, their numbers have now been greatly reduced compared to the original.

Jiang Xia punched the brainwashed Tooth Blood Vampire into fragments, and his double wings flared behind him.

The double horns atop his head unknownly fused many sharp animal traits: rhinoceros, elk, armored beetle.

To be honest, Jiang Xia has already consumed an unknown number of Tooth Blood Vampires and legendary puppet beasts.

The remaining half had already been torn apart by brainwashed kin, and moreover, a sharp claw mark left on his back faintly revealed the Bishop's internal energy core throbbing slightly.

Thus, the legendary puppet beast power that had been completely suppressed once again began to disturb his interior.

Even Ta Ya had to admit that without wearing the first-generation king's armor, he would hardly be able to defeat the current Jiang Xia.

Whenever his claws were unusable, Jiang Xia's body would sprout various strange tentacles and spider silk, binding them and then cutting them apart.

And the Moon Eye above the moon merely kept pouring out power.

The power within him was also rapidly recovering, and the Tooth Blood Vampire royal lineage inside him grew even more ferocious in battle.

Therefore, we can only first let his internal power stabilize a bit, while the Moon Eye's radiance continually stimulates the legendary puppet beast power within Jiang Xia's body.

Adding Jiang Xia and Ta Ya as the two main forces, in a moment the defeat of the legendary puppet beasts in this battle was sealed.

However, he could clearly feel his body craving continued combat, to experience the sensation of his body being cut apart in his own hands.

"Lord Ta Ya, rest and recuperate; only a little remains, the legendary puppet beasts' power has already been greatly weakened, their king will soon appear."

Relying purely on Tooth Blood Vampire flesh, Jiang Xia can completely overwhelm him.

At this moment, the gap in Tooth Blood Vampire bloodline becomes evident; they both entered the battlefield simultaneously, but Ta Ya is merely somewhat exhausted.

And his wings are composed of moths, autumn cicadas, ladybugs, etc. —these flying Tooth Blood Vampire wings combined together.

His body is now covered in wounds, all left by those brainwashed compatriots.

Shen Yang also, in this battle, pushed the Queen's bloodline to its limit, displaying power enough to rival Zhen Ye; he is no longer the newly awakened queen who cannot wield his own power.

The radiance of the Red Sun has gradually faded; although energy is continually replenished, Jiang Xia's body cannot sustain this move for long.

He basically used no other abilities.

Although his Magic Emperor power within him is vast, it is not infinite; he has slain at least hundreds, whether first controlled or later infected in battle, he defeated them all.

As for Jiang Xia, needless to say, by continually devouring different powers, his energy remains extremely vigorous even now.

The Bishop lowered his head, looking at Ta Ya supporting him before him, and gritted his teeth.

The Bishop now has one horn on his head broken, and the armor draped over his shoulders is covered in cracks.

Nevertheless, he remains loyally guarding Ta Ya's front, taking over the duty originally belonging to a chariot.

Initially, the Tooth Blood Vampires under brainwashing control were purely due to lacking experience fighting legendary puppet beasts, giving them an opportunity to be controlled by the beasts' brainwashing tactics.

"Ha, let me rest a bit…" Ta Ya exhaled slightly, then with his Snake Flute Sword he again sliced a legendary puppet beast, using the sword to support his body.

Various creature traits have already appeared on Jiang Xia's body and begun to continually merge.

In other words, Ta Ya likewise honed himself in battle; his bloodline even gradually became fervent, and given a little time, his combat skills and abilities would rapidly improve.

Indeed, after leaving the Moon Eye's range, the originally chaotic legendary puppet beast power was immediately suppressed, beginning to digest at a snail's pace.

His whole body's muscles tensed, his entire form radiating a fierce aura, just like a fighting machine that never ceases.

And at that time, the chariot, the Bishop, and the Queen had all perished; finally only the King remained, fighting alone.

But now the Bishop isn't worried at all, because the power of the new-generation chariot can be called the strongest in history, utterly incomparable to that of centuries ago, and the number of officials now hasn't decreased at all; the era has changed, the legendary Beast King.
