Chapter 61: Tearing Off the Camouflage, the True Colors of a Dark Horse

As Li Runfeng's words fell, the Sawtooth Mantis waved its twin blades at high speed, turning into layers of blade curtains that completely enveloped the Purple-Striped Chipmunk.

Squeak—

From within the layers of blade curtains, the miserable shrieks of the Purple-Striped Chipmunk rang out.

When the blade curtains vanished, the Purple-Striped Chipmunk was covered in cuts and bruises, with thin wisps of blood dripping down, but it was a Mid-Rank Beast after all, so these wounds were not very deep.

"Take it down, Xiaozi, use Flash of Thunder!" Seeing the Purple-Striped Chipmunk's injuries, Li Jingyi revealed a pained expression.

Without giving the Sawtooth Mantis a chance to recover its Qi, the Purple-Striped Chipmunk surged with intense electric current, turning into a purple residual shadow that instantly struck the Sawtooth Mantis.

The moment they made contact, the electric current on the Purple-Striped Chipmunk's body erupted with a boom, sweeping toward the surroundings and instantly enveloping the Sawtooth Mantis, causing the latter to let out a painful shriek; after struggling on the ground a few times, its head tilted to the side, and it lost the ability to continue fighting.

"Sigh, I knew it would lose!" Li Runfeng put on an "as expected" look, but in reality, he was greatly encouraged, simply because the Sawtooth Mantis had achieved its goal of making the Purple-Striped Chipmunk lose a significant amount of stamina.

The next moment, Li Runfeng summoned the Ice Sparrow; compared to the Purple-Striped Chipmunk, the Ice Sparrow's realm was slightly superior, and in particular, it possessed the Ice Crystal Phoenix Bloodline, so even if the lineage was of Inferior Quality, it still enhanced its strength to some extent.

Furthermore, because the Ice Attribute countered the Thunder Attribute, the Ice Sparrow also possessed an elemental advantage!

"A Lower 9th Rank Ice Sparrow!" Li Jingyi was quite familiar with this Ice Sparrow, and due to her preconceived notions, she did not take the Ice Sparrow to heart.

"Xiaozi, Volt Charge!"

Compared to Flash of Thunder, Volt Charge was slightly inferior in power, but it also had its advantages: it could briefly increase a Demon Pet's explosive power.

Of course, only for a few seconds.

Under Li Jingyi's command, the Purple-Striped Chipmunk moved; golden electric current covered its entire body, and propelled by the current, the Purple-Striped Chipmunk's already fast speed became even faster as it jumped high into the air, charging forcefully toward the Ice Sparrow in the sky.

Li Jingyi did not see that the moment the Purple-Striped Chipmunk jumped, the corners of Li Runfeng's mouth pulled into a meaningful smile; his spine straightened instantly, his eyes became sharp and bright, and his Keen Edge was fully revealed, as if he had become a different person.

At this moment, Li Runfeng tore off his Camouflage, like a leopard that had been lurking for a long time, baring its ferocious fangs at its prey.

At the same time, Li Runfeng withdrew the Ice Sparrow's Breath Concealment Secret Technique, and the Ice Sparrow's momentum surged, faintly even exceeding that of the Purple-Striped Chipmunk in terms of aura.

In the sky, the Ice Sparrow did not dodge; it shook its wings, which looked like ice crystals, and countless misty cold vapors gathered rapidly, turning into an oval-shaped ice crystal shield that protected it from all directions.

Boom—

A dull impact sound rang out; the Purple-Striped Chipmunk slammed forcefully into the ice crystal shield, and the electric current attached to its body surged crazily against the shield, but it was unable to break through the shield's defense.

After losing its momentum, the Purple-Striped Chipmunk inevitably began to fall.

"Ice Sparrow, take this chance to use Ice Breath!"

Chirp—

Accompanied by a loud cry, before the Purple-Striped Chipmunk could land on the ground, the Ice Sparrow opened its slender Bird Beak, and ice-blue energy condensed once more, spitting out a breath containing countless ice crystals aimed at the Purple-Striped Chipmunk.

Although the Purple-Striped Chipmunk was very fast, it was in mid-air after all with nowhere to leverage its strength, so how could it avoid it? It was instantly struck by the Ice Breath.

The Ice Breath was not very powerful, but it possessed a certain Freeze effect, which caused thick frost to appear on the surface of the Purple-Striped Chipmunk's body, affecting its mobility.

The next moment, the Ice Sparrow flapped its ice crystal wings, and more than ten sharp icicles shot out, enveloping a radius of several meters with the Purple-Striped Chipmunk at the center.

With its speed restricted, even though the Purple-Striped Chipmunk tried its best to dodge, it still could not leave the range of the icicles and was instead struck by two of them.

Amidst splashing blood, the Purple-Striped Chipmunk landed heavily on the ground; it looked up at Li Jingyi, powerless to continue fighting.

Because she was too shocked, while the Purple-Striped Chipmunk was in a precarious situation, Li Jingyi's brain was still short-circuiting and she did not give commands in time; otherwise, given the Purple-Striped Chipmunk's strength, it would not have been easily defeated by the Ice Sparrow.

On the path of a Monster Tamer, Li Jingyi still had a long way to go.

Liar!

At this moment, Li Runfeng was labeled a liar by Li Jingyi.

Li Jingyi revealed a worried expression and hurriedly ran onto the field to check the Purple-Striped Chipmunk's injuries; after confirming that the Purple-Striped Chipmunk was not in serious trouble, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At this time, some of the clansmen, contestants, and even Clan Elders who had been kept in the dark all revealed shocked expressions, never expecting that Li Runfeng had hidden himself so deeply.

Silent until he speaks, then he startles everyone!

That is exactly what describes Li Runfeng at this moment!

"A fall into a pit, a gain in your wit; I hope she can grow in the future!" On the high platform, the well-meaning Beast Garden Elder sighed.

In the contestant area, Li Changsheng feigned surprise; he felt that Li Runfeng's acting skills were quite brilliant and very worthy of his study.

Of course, the prerequisite was that he had to possess a Breath Concealment type Secret Technique.

Unfortunately, in the family's Secret Technique Pavilion, there were no Breath Concealment type Secret Techniques, and he did not know where Li Runfeng had obtained one.

After the Purple-Striped Chipmunk and the Warm Rabbit were defeated, Li Jingyi only had her last Demon Pet slot left, and the situation was very unfavorable for her.

After taking a deep breath, Li Jingyi suppressed the surprise and Anger in her heart; her lips moved slightly, and a small Blood-colored Hexagram began to emerge.

Meow—

Accompanied by a cute, naive cat's meow, a snow-white, flawless white cat appeared on the field; it had slightly folded ears and a cute, naive little face, and its light blue eyes were large and round, giving people a harmless feeling.

What was most impressive was its tail; unlike an ordinary white cat, this white cat had a full three tails.

After the white cat appeared, Li Changsheng immediately obtained its data.

【Spirit Beast Name】: Three-Tailed Cat (Growth Stage)

【Spirit Beast Realm】: Lower 9th Rank

【Spirit Beast Race】: Medium Warrior

【Spirit Beast Quality】: Mid-grade

【Spirit Beast Bloodline】: Nekomata (Pure)

【Spirit Beast Attribute】: Wind Element

【Spirit Beast Status】: Healthy

【Spirit Beast Weakness】: Thunder Attribute

Nekomata: Commonly known as a cat demon or cat-gait, it is an image of a black cat with nine tails, with large, pointed ears, double-sided sawtooth teeth, and the ability to walk upright.

In legend, the Nekomata has nine lives, which are connection, spirit, stillness, righteousness, awakening, light, essence, Qi, and consciousness, and it is known for being eerie.

Li Jingyi's Three-Tailed Cat had not yet grown up; if given more time, perhaps it could become a Mid-Rank Beast.

Unfortunately, time was not on Li Jingyi's side.

However, the Three-Tailed Cat is not without its advantages; its species and Bloodline concentration are clearly superior, so there is a possibility it could defeat the Ice Sparrow despite the gap in rank.

It is just that, even if it defeats the Ice Sparrow, Li Runfeng still has one more Demon Pet slot, and no one knows if he has other powerful Demon Pets.

After the battle began, the Three-Tailed Cat and the Ice Sparrow fought fiercely; there was not much difference in their strength, and for a time, neither could do anything to the other, but in the end, the Ice Sparrow successfully defeated the Three-Tailed Cat with a slight advantage.

"In this match, Li Runfeng wins!" After confirming that the Three-Tailed Cat no longer had the strength to fight, the Internal Affairs Elder announced the result of the match.

Whoosh, whoosh~

Li Runfeng caused an upset by defeating the favorite to win, Li Jingyi; most people expressed surprise at the result of the match, but they still took the initiative to cheer and applaud for him.

After this match ended, the second match of the Finals began immediately, and Li Zhangsheng and Li Tianyu stood on the stone platform unhurriedly.

The new book is a seedling and needs everyone's support!
