Chapter 158: Li Zhangsheng, You Are So Shameless! (Third update, owed to the author)

Suddenly, Xu Xiangzhi's eyes widened; he finally realized what was wrong—the heads of those two giant apes seemed to be branded with a Contract Mark!

In other words, these two giant apes were someone else's Demon Pet, and since only he and Li Zhangsheng were present, cold sweat instantly soaked his clothes.

At this thought, Xu Xiangzhi struggled to turn his head; he saw Li Zhangsheng's smile, and he also saw the Titan Python being charged by the Savage Saber-Toothed Tiger and the two giant apes, while over a dozen vines erupted from the ground, instantly binding the Titan Python—that was the Burrowing Vine cast by Kailan.

Not only that, the Burrowing Mouse, having long been prepared, cast Quicksand Hell, causing the Titan Python to sink into a patch of quicksand.

The Titan Python was not a Prehistoric Saw-Toothed Earthworm and could not break free from the binding of the Burrowing Vine and Quicksand Hell in a short time, so its fate was easy to imagine.

At the same time, the Flamingo, which had been playing dead under the banyan tree, moved; its sharp Bird Beak pecked toward the neck of the Golden Light Eagle, as it was only a few meters away from the Golden Light Eagle.

The Paradise Bird, also playing dead, stood up as well; countless white light spots rapidly converged, transforming into a Light Flame Giant Sword about a zhang long, which slashed through the air toward the Golden Light Eagle.

The three giant apes that had been playing dead on the ground also stood up, but they did not launch an attack; instead, they quickly climbed the banyan tree to guard the Bloodline Fruit, preventing Xu Xiangzhi from jumping over the wall in desperation and destroying the Bloodline Fruit.

Xu Xiangzhi's eyes were splitting with rage, but how could he react in time now?

This damn thing is a dead end!

Li Zhangsheng, you are so shameless!

This is not what he imagined!

So you are this kind of Li Zhangsheng!

He had been set up, the kind where he had no power to fight back!

In an instant, the Golden Light Eagle could not dodge its vital point in time and was pecked in the neck by the Flamingo; the Flamingo's Bird Beak was slender and sharp, piercing straight through its neck.

Although the Golden Light Eagle was an Upper Rank Spirit Beast, the Flamingo was not inferior in the slightest, and having been hit in a vital point, the Golden Light Eagle suffered heavy damage instantly.

At this moment, the Light Flame Giant Sword fell; Xu Xiangzhi hurriedly jumped off the back of the Golden Light Eagle and landed on the ground in a sorry state.

Fortunately, it was not far from the ground, otherwise he would have surely broken his bones.

Chirp~

At this moment, the mournful cry of the Golden Light Eagle rang out; there was an extra deep sword mark on its back, and it could no longer hold on, falling directly from the air and losing its combat ability.

Golden Light Eagle, KO!

On the other side, the Titan Python was also in crisis; before it could break free from the bindings, the two Second-rank Sprites grabbed its head and tail, which greatly exacerbated its restraint, making it a true sitting duck.

At this moment, Aixi pounced toward the Titan Python; sharp golden light flickered, covering its sword-like fangs, which suddenly surged to thirty centimeters, and it launched Fatal Fang again, biting toward the Titan Python's vital neck.

The Titan Python's snake pupils contracted sharply; it felt a strong sense of crisis, so it immediately stopped struggling, and a layer of earthy yellow appeared on its body surface to enhance its defense.

At the same time, the Golden-Threaded Gibbon riding the Titan Python jumped out of the quicksand area in a panic; seeing that Xu Xiangzhi was in crisis, it hurriedly rushed toward its master.

Crack~

Under the powerful bite force, Aixi broke through the Titan Python's defense, and its sword-like fangs pierced into its neck; a large amount of blood sprayed out, dyeing the ground bright red.

Hiss hiss~

The Titan Python let out a painful hiss; because it was in too much pain, its struggling force rose straight up, directly breaking free from the vine bindings and throwing the two giant apes and Aixi away.

In mid-air, Aixi adjusted its posture and pounced again toward the heavily damaged Titan Python the moment it landed.

At this moment, the Titan Python escaped the quicksand area, and its massive snake body slammed violently toward the incoming Aixi.

Wind Stealth!

Seeing the Titan Python's movement, Aixi's eyes narrowed slightly; it did not choose to take the hit head-on, a flash of cyan light appeared on its body surface, and it almost turned into a Residual Shadow, easily avoiding the Titan Python's offensive and appearing on its side instead.

Steel Tail!

Not giving the Titan Python a chance, Aixi rotated its body while moving at high speed, and its tail, shimmering with metallic luster, lashed out like a steel whip, striking the Titan Python fiercely.

Hiss~

The Titan Python let out another scream, its massive snake body falling heavily to the ground; there was a deep wound on its waist that reached the bone, and blood gushed out in a steady stream.

The Titan Python struggled a few times, but it could no longer stand up; finally, it fell to the ground with extreme unwillingness, looking powerlessly at its master not far away.

It hadn't even had a chance to warm up yet, how could it have been defeated!

In just ten seconds, Xu Xiangzhi had fallen from heaven to hell; both the Titan Python and the Golden Light Eagle had lost their combat ability, leaving only the trembling Golden-Threaded Gibbon.

Nothing can be done to save the situation!

Xu Xiangzhi sighed in his heart; the Golden-Threaded Gibbon was the weakest of his three main Demon Pets, so how could it possibly Twisting Qiankun?

"Oh my, classmate Xu, are you alright!"

Li Zhangsheng did not approach Xu Xiangzhi; he did not want to capsize in the gutter and be subjected to the other party's "capture the leader to capture the bandits" tactic.

"Do I look like I'm alright! Li Zhangsheng, you bastard, how can you be so shameless!" Xu Xiangzhi felt extremely aggrieved; his chest heaved violently, and he was so angry he nearly vomited blood.

He hadn't even had time to prepare before he was caught off guard and beaten up by Li Zhangsheng; by the time he reacted, he had already lost the ability to resist.

Furthermore, there was a huge psychological gap; he had originally thought the Bloodline Fruit was in his pocket and was overjoyed, but in the end, he was knocked down from heaven and realized that this was all a layout Li Zhangsheng had set up in advance, specifically waiting for him to fall into the trap.

"Classmate Xu, I won't say hypocritical words; are you going to leave on your own, or should I 'send' you out?"

Li Zhangsheng couldn't be bothered with pleasantries; more than 2/3 of the Bloodline Fruit had turned red, and it would be fully ripe in about a quarter of an hour.

With so little time, he wasn't afraid of Xu Xiangzhi causing trouble.

"I'll go myself!"

Xu Xiangzhi recalled the Titan Python and the Golden Light Eagle, and with the support of the Golden-Threaded Gibbon, he limped toward the barren area.

Xu Xiangzhi felt so much hatred in his heart!

Boom~

A dull sound rang out; Li Zhangsheng hurriedly turned his head, but Xu Xiangzhi was nowhere to be seen, only to realize in astonishment that Xu Xiangzhi had stepped into the large pit the Burrowing Mouse had originally designed.

This large pit hadn't played a role during the battle; he didn't expect it to exert its remaining heat only after it was over.

Xu Xiangzhi is truly unlucky, the kind who gets his teeth stuck even when drinking water!

Watching Xu Xiangzhi climb out of the pit in a sorry state, Li Zhangsheng shook his head with a laugh; he knew very well that after this incident, he and Xu Xiangzhi had formed a grudge, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

However, as long as he was given time, Li Zhangsheng believed that the gap between him and Xu Xiangzhi would only grow wider and wider.

After Xu Xiangzhi left, the scent range of the Bloodline Fruit expanded further, and more and more wild Spirit Beasts were attracted; unfortunately, they were just a scattered mess and were defeated one by one by Li Zhangsheng, who took the initiative to attack.

Fortunately, there were no more accidents during this period.

Very quickly, a quarter of an hour passed, the color of the Bloodline Fruit turned completely blood-red, emitting a fragrance that was rich to the extreme.

The Bloodline Fruit has matured!
