Chapter 1421: Mission Accomplished (First update, requesting everything)

It was only because Li Zhangsheng possessed special abilities that he was not truly led astray by the water-blue Nekomata.

At Li Zhangsheng's current level, his special ability's range of coverage, while perhaps not encompassing the entire Manghuang Forest, could certainly cover a small half of it.

As Divine Beasts, the light points representing the ten Nekomata were all very intense; at the very least, they were of Epic quality, and many even reached Half-Step Legendary quality. They were like fireflies in the dark night, so dazzling.

Judging from the feedback of his Mental Power, the other nine Nekomata were still within the range of Li Zhangsheng's Mental Power feedback, which was also the reason Li Zhangsheng could detect them immediately.

The direction where these nine Nekomata were located did not align with the path the water-blue Nekomata was leading him; clearly, the water-blue Nekomata's purpose was to have the overlord of the Manghuang Forest deal with Li Zhangsheng, so that it could escape in the chaos, or even unite with its other companions to assist the Manghuang Forest overlord in dealing with Li Zhangsheng.

Upon hearing Li Zhangsheng's words, the water-blue Nekomata was visibly stunned, and immediately after, the soft flesh on the back of its neck was lifted. It resisted, but could not break free.

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng transformed into a long rainbow, charging recklessly through the Manghuang Forest, heading toward the location of the other nine Nekomata.

The trees along the way were burned to ashes by the overbearing Sun True Fire before they could even touch Li Zhangsheng, directly burning out a path of ash; his momentum was unparalleled for a time.

"Meow~ Oh no, he's coming."

The Wood Nekomata could connect with the nearby vegetation, and thus was the first to perceive Li Zhangsheng's movements.

"Xun Wind, your speed is the fastest, go find the Manghuang Forest overlord immediately."

"Yes!"

Under the Light Nekomata's command, the pale cyan Xun Wind Nekomata seemed to transform into a breeze, disappearing in an instant.

Among these ten Nekomata, the Light Nekomata had the highest prestige and strength, being a Demon Emperor Level Nekomata of Half-Step Legendary quality.

"Let us avoid his Keen Edge for now; the target is the depths of the Manghuang Forest."

Following the Light Nekomata's order, the remaining eight Nekomata all agreed and likewise rushed toward the depths of the Manghuang Forest.

The closer they were to the core area of the Manghuang Forest, the greater their chances, and the easier it would be for the Manghuang Forest overlord to know.

With eight Nekomata acting in unison, their speed was determined by the slowest Nekomata, and the gap with Li Zhangsheng was quite obvious.

As soon as they entered the depths of the Manghuang Forest, Li Zhangsheng finally caught up from behind.

"Everyone, try your best to stall him!"

The Light Nekomata stopped immediately, and the other seven Nekomata had no choice but to stop as well, launching attacks from all directions.

They had lived together for a thousand years, and their coordination could be said to be quite tacit.

For a time, the attacks were like rain, and it looked as if they were about to hit Li Zhangsheng.

These eight Nekomata consisted of three Demon Emperor Level and five Demon Saint Level; because Nekomata belong to the Superior Divine Beast category, coupled with their tacit coordination, their strength was likely comparable to the Wudi of the past.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng was no longer what he used to be; according to his estimation, he was roughly equivalent to two Wudi—and that was only because the Wudi possessed Wei Huangji Demon Pets; otherwise, the gap would be even larger.

Suddenly, the Twelve-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform appeared above Li Zhangsheng's head, and the intense Star Light Membrane rippled in layers, giving one a heart-stopping feeling, as if it could shatter at any moment.

The Twelve-Grade Star Palace Lotus Platform was, after all, a supreme defensive treasure, and in the end, it neutralized all the attacks, though the intensity of the Star Light Membrane was greatly reduced, leaving only a thin layer.

Meow~ Meow~

Baitian and Heiye immediately rushed out from Li Zhangsheng's shoulders; their targets were the two Demon Emperor Level Nekomata.

At the same time, the Secret Realm Channel opened, and Aixi, Kailan, the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon, the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon, the Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon, and other fast Demon Pets rushed out one after another, charging toward their respective targets under Li Zhangsheng's signal.

Suddenly, Li Zhangsheng changed his form again, instantly transforming into a Five-Colored Peacock, and unleashed a Five-Colored Divine Light at the only Demon Saint Level Geng Metal Nekomata that had no opponent.

Meow~

The Geng Metal Nekomata did not know the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light, and upon discovering it could not be avoided, it hurriedly condensed a giant golden sword and slashed straight at the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Pop~

However, to the Geng Metal Nekomata's horror, the giant golden sword disappeared the moment it touched the Five-Colored Divine Light, and to a certain extent, it even increased the power of the Five-Colored Divine Light.

Swish~

Without giving the Geng Metal Nekomata a chance, the Five-Colored Divine Light hit instantly, and the Geng Metal Nekomata seemed to have vanished into thin air; there was no sign of it left.

On the tail feathers of the Five-Colored Peacock that Li Zhangsheng had transformed into, the brilliance within the golden tail feathers flared brightly; it had directly suppressed the Geng Metal Nekomata.

As for the Kui Water Nekomata that had just been captured, it was being grandly 'entertained' by other Demon Pets in the Secret Realm; he believed it would feel very happy.

It was also at this time that Aixi, the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon, and the Four-Clawed Silver Dragon had all taken down their respective opponents.

A Demon Saint Level Nekomata was only limitedly stronger than an ordinary Demon Emperor Level Demon Pet; in the eyes of Aixi and the other Demon Pets, they were no different from those who offered their heads, and they were defeated in a few moves.

"Meow, the opponent is too strong, run for it!"

Seeing the situation was dire and five companions had already been captured, the Light Nekomata immediately felt something was wrong and subconsciously wanted to flee.

Unfortunately, the Light Nekomata was entangled tightly by Baitian; not only did it have no chance to escape, but it was also beaten until it was left in a sorry state, completely falling into a disadvantage.

If the Light Nekomata was like this, the other three Nekomata went without saying.

Bang~

In the blink of an eye, the last Demon Saint Level Nekomata was defeated by the Four-Clawed Yellow Dragon.

The remaining three Demon Emperor Level Nekomata resisted desperately, wanting to escape, but there was no hope; the speed of Aixi, Baitian, and Heiye all surpassed them by a notch.

As if it weren't enough, after the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon and other Demon Pets resolved their own opponents, they did not attack, but instead cut off the retreat of the remaining three Demon Emperor Level Nekomata.

Being wary of the situation, the three Demon Emperor Level Nekomata subconsciously placed part of their attention on the Eight-Clawed Golden Dragon and the other Demon Pets, fearing they would join the battlefield.

This also affected the combat power of the three Demon Emperor Level Nekomata; they were already at a disadvantage, and being unable to concentrate, they were defeated even faster.

In less than a minute, the three Demon Emperor Level Nekomata were all defeated and became Li Zhangsheng's captives.

In this way, Li Zhangsheng had captured nine Nekomata, leaving only the Xun Wind Nekomata.

"Go!"

Li Zhangsheng glanced at the direction the Xun Wind Nekomata had left; he did not pursue, nor did he have any intention of starting a dispute with the Manghuang Forest overlord.

The Manghuang Forest was clearly more powerful than the Monopoly Mountain Range, and the key was that its location was between the three major regions, which could be said to be a buffer zone for the three major regions. If Li Zhangsheng were to deal with the Manghuang Forest, it would be difficult to defeat the opponent in a short time, and it would be easy for other forces to take advantage of him.

Most importantly, his goal had already been achieved; gathering ten Nekomata would not summon a divine dragon to grant wishes, so there was no need to insist on gathering them all. He was not the type of person who liked to be stubborn.
