Chapter 267: Advanced Secret Technique—Bloodthirsty Frenzy (Second update, as usual)

"You forced my hand!"

The next moment, Liu Jiyu expended a massive amount of Mental Power to quickly activate a Secret Technique Imprint; this was the only Advanced Secret Technique Imprint he had mastered, and it finally landed on the Earth Giant.

This was the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Secret Technique Imprint, which could force a Demon Pet into a state of Bloodthirsty Frenzy.

In the state of Bloodthirsty Frenzy, a Demon Pet's strength can be significantly boosted, and it remains unaffected by pain or fear. However, the aftereffects are also severe: it will lose its self-awareness, thoughts, and emotions, leaving only the instinct to distinguish between friend and foe, becoming a machine that only knows how to kill.

In other words, until the state of Bloodthirsty Frenzy disappears, the Demon Pet will no longer obey the Monster Tamer's commands, reacting entirely on instinct.

This is the aftereffect of Bloodthirsty Frenzy; although the combat power boost far exceeds that of the Bloodthirsty Technique, it comes at the cost of losing one's rationality.

In an instant, blue veins bulged all over the Earth Giant's body, its height, originally seven meters tall, swelled to nearly ten meters, its eyes became bloodthirsty and crazed, almost devoid of any reason, and its attack power was clearly boosted significantly.

Boom—

In the blink of an eye, the Earth Giant lifted its right leg and stomped heavily onto the ground; the earth began to shake violently, countless cracks spread in all directions, and a large pit was stomped out beneath its feet.

Because the surrounding terrain was damaged, Aixi's speed was inevitably affected to some extent. Suddenly, another layer of Wind Cloak appeared on Aixi's body, which boosted its speed once more, allowing it to take the opportunity to put some distance between itself and the Earth Giant.

"Quickly finish it off!" Liu Jiyu's eyes were filled with anticipation; with the attack power of the Earth Giant after Bloodthirsty Frenzy, as long as it landed a single hit, it could at least heavily injure Aixi.

In this way, he could take advantage of the situation to finish off Aixi, or at the very least, make his escape.

The Earth Giant had almost lost its mind, but it still took huge strides, crazily chasing after Aixi.

The Earth Giant's stride was very long, which resulted in a high straight-line speed; it caught up to Aixi in two or three steps, and this time it swung its giant palm.

A giant palm the size of a water vat—tell me if you've ever seen one!

Aixi was extremely fast, once again dodging the Earth Giant's offensive, and took the opportunity to put some distance between them.

Destruction Beam!

Before the Earth Giant could catch up, Aixi opened its big mouth, and countless golden light spots gathered crazily, instantly submerging its mouth; when it was about to be unable to maintain it any longer, a golden light beam, as if substantial, erupted from its mouth.

The Earth Giant did not dodge and took the Destruction Beam head-on; under the powerful impact, its body paused for a moment, then it continued to charge toward Aixi while pushing against the beam.

Its defense was very strong, and the Destruction Beam found it difficult to cause it much damage.

The Earth Giant crazily rushed in front of Aixi and began to punch and kick at Aixi; the Giant race is basically focused on melee combat, and only the Titan Giant is an expert in both 'magic and martial arts'.

The Earth Giant's advantages and disadvantages are very obvious; due to its huge size, it excels in siege warfare, but this also makes its body very inflexible, and it hates agile opponents the most.

In addition, the Earth Giant only knows one energy-type skill called Earth Barrier, while all the rest are physical melee skills, lacking long-range striking ability.

"Aixi, Wind Stealth!" Li Zhangsheng's heart could not help but tighten; once Aixi was touched by the Earth Giant, it would basically end in a heavy injury.

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, a flash of green light appeared on Aixi's body, and a powerful explosive force instantly surged through its limbs, causing its speed to skyrocket; it seemed to transform into a Residual Shadow, easily avoiding the Earth Giant's offensive and appearing behind it.

Crushing Claw!

Before the Earth Giant could turn around, Aixi did not jump, a sharp cold glint flashed, and it slammed fiercely onto the Earth Giant's right leg.

Blood splashed, and several wounds deep enough to see bone instantly appeared on the Earth Giant's right leg; its body even staggered, nearly falling to the ground.

After regaining its footing, the Earth Giant raised its right palm and swiped at Aixi again, but unfortunately, it hit empty air once more; Aixi, having activated the Wind Speed Characteristic, was simply too fast.

"Aixi, target the wound on its right leg!" Using its projected Mental Power, Li Zhangsheng could 'see' that there were several tiny cracks on the exposed right leg bone of the Earth Giant.

Unlike Tearing Claw, Crushing Claw also targets bones, but the Earth Giant's bones were too thick and hard, requiring multiple Crushing Claws to resolve.

Bang—

A dull sound echoed; Aixi's Crushing Claw landed precisely on the exposed right leg bone of the Earth Giant, directly causing several more cracks to appear on it.

"Not good!" Liu Jiyu's expression changed drastically; he wanted to change tactics, but the Earth Giant in the state of Bloodthirsty Frenzy would not listen to his commands at all.

Most importantly, Li Zhangsheng's four teammates were less than a hundred meters away, and Liu Jiyu could not help but panic.

This was completely a case of trying to steal a chicken only to lose the rice; Liu Jiyu could not help but feel some regret in his heart. He had been too arrogant; he shouldn't have added the Bloodthirsty Frenzy Secret Technique to the Earth Giant at that time. He could have completely let the Earth Giant ignore Aixi and go directly to attack Li Zhangsheng or his other Demon Pets; that might have had a better effect.

Unfortunately, there is no regret medicine to take in this world.

In fact, Li Zhangsheng had also thought about having Aixi attack Liu Jiyu directly, but Liu Jiyu was, after all, a Third-rank Royal Beast Master, and with two Mid-Rank Beasts guarding him, he possessed decent self-preservation capabilities.

Li Zhangsheng had also thought about having Aixi ambush the Gale Lion and the Magic Ape, but if he did that, the Earth Giant would definitely follow; if the target were shifted to his other Demon Pets, that would be very bad.

Li Zhangsheng's other Demon Pets were clearly inferior to Aixi in terms of speed, especially the Emperor Crocodile; although the Black Dragon Bloodline had increased its speed, it was still impossible to avoid the Earth Giant's offensive, belonging to the type that gets hit every time.

Roar—

Suddenly, the miserable cry of the Gale Lion rang out; a huge wound had been slashed into its waist by a Light Flame Giant Sword, fresh blood gushed out crazily, and one could faintly see the pulsating internal organs.

It turned out that after losing one eye, the Gale Lion's vision was inevitably greatly affected, and Liu Jiyu had focused his energy on the Earth Giant's side, so caught off guard, the Gale Lion was struck in the waist by the Light Bird's Blazing Light Sword.

Liu Jiyu was clearly flustered, but he couldn't think of a way out for the moment.

Leaf Blade Slash!

Not giving the Gale Lion a chance, Kailan condensed rich green energy, and under its fine-tuned control, this energy transformed into the shape of a leaf blade, landing precisely on the wound at the Gale Lion's waist, directly shattering its internal organs.

The Gale Lion fell heavily to the ground, its limbs twitched a few times, and it never moved again.

Pfft—

At the same time, Liu Jiyu's eyes widened, his Consciousness Sea shook violently, and he felt a sweetness in his throat, unable to stop himself from spitting out a mouthful of blood.

His face was pale and bloodless, and his eyes were filled with fear.
