Chapter 658: Needle Point Against Wheat Awn (First Update, Requesting Everything)

As the observation time was about to end, Li Zhangsheng and Dou Yuanbin both began to take action, starting to buff their respective Demon Pets with Secret Techniques.

Li Zhangsheng buffed Aixi with Owl's Insight and Swift as Wind; the former is an Intermediate Secret Technique that can temporarily increase a Demon Pet's perception and visual range, while the latter can increase a Demon Pet's speed by fifty percent for a short time, with the duration depending on the user's realm.

On the other side, Dou Yuanbin buffed the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat with Swift as Wind and Firm as a Rock; the latter is an Advanced mental-type Secret Technique that can temporarily greatly increase a Demon Pet's mental fortitude, mainly targeting skills or traits related to spirit and illusions, while also granting immunity to negative emotions like fear and terror.

The reason for using the Firm as a Rock Secret Technique was mainly to grant immunity to Aixi's Intimidation and Evil Eye traits, otherwise, it would be very disadvantageous for the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat.

Roar—

The moment the observation time ended, Aixi wanted to intimidate the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat, but unfortunately, due to the Firm as a Rock Secret Technique, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat was not affected.

At the same time, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's Sandstorm trait was activated, and the Rock Field began to whip up countless sand and dust; Aixi's Storm trait plus the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's Sandstorm trait caused the visibility on the field to decrease further.

The reason Li Zhangsheng used the Owl's Insight Secret Technique was also to counter the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's Sandstorm trait.

Such a scene was very unfriendly to the audience; apart from two blurry shadows, one large and one small, they could only see sand and dust filling the sky.

Immediately, Aixi opened its bloody maw, and countless pale cyan light spots gathered, rapidly turning into Wind Blades several feet long, which, under its control, slashed toward the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat from all directions.

Even with the Owl's Insight Secret Technique buff, Aixi could only see clearly within a range of twenty to thirty meters; for scenes outside that range, it became much blurrier.

The Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat was a full fifty or sixty meters away from Aixi, which was also the reason Aixi chose a long-range area-of-effect skill, though it was actually mainly for probing.

Just as the Wind Blades flew over, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat rapidly turned into a black shadow, as if dancing amidst the countless Wind Blades, successfully avoiding the Wind Blades one by one with unimaginable agility.

The Wind Blades that missed either dissipated into thin air or could only plow furrows several zhang long on the Rock Field, making the Rock Field become a mess, and many protruding rocks were even destroyed catastrophically.

Earth Wave!

After avoiding the countless Wind Blades, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat opened its mouth, revealing four front teeth as large as door panels, and countless earthy-yellow light spots condensed, spraying an energy torrent composed of Earth Element energy from its mouth, rushing toward Aixi.

In the nick of time, Aixi quickly moved its feet, leaving behind Residual Shadows in place, similarly avoiding the Earth Wave with a relatively relaxed posture, and pounced toward the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat tens of meters away with lightning speed.

During this process, Aixi opened its mouth wide, revealing snow-white sharp fangs, and a powerful suction force appeared, wanting to swallow the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat in one gulp.

This suction force did not cause trouble for the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat; through its contact with the ground, a continuous stream of Earth energy was added to the surface of the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's body, causing the effect of Aixi's suction to be greatly reduced.

Shadow Clone!

In an instant, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat turned into dozens of lifelike figures, scattering in all directions simultaneously.

Aixi had a keen sense of smell, but it still needed a little time, allowing the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat to successfully avoid Aixi's pounce and pull away a distance from it again.

Aixi twitched its nose, quickly locked onto the location of the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's true body, and rushed toward it again.

Squeak squeak—

Suddenly, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's cheeks bulged high, and its belly swelled several times over, giving one the feeling that it was about to explode at any moment.

Before Aixi could get close, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat opened its mouth and emitted an extremely sharp and piercing noise.

Circles of tangible yet intangible ripples appeared in the void, spreading rapidly toward the surroundings; the speed of the ripples was equal to the speed of sound, and the range even spread to the entire field.

Aixi had nowhere to hide and could not help but show a painful expression; its mind went blank, its eardrums shattered, leaking wisps of blood, and it was forcibly interrupted in its actions, forced to stop in place.

Taking this opportunity, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's limbs touching the ground flashed with rich earthy-yellow brilliance, controlling the surrounding earth.

Due to the Sandstorm trait and the Rock Field, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's control over the earth had greatly improved.

Before Aixi could react, the ground within a hundred-meter radius suddenly changed; the soil rapidly turned sandy and rotated in a clockwise direction.

Aixi's body sank; due to its excessive weight, its limbs were quickly submerged by the quicksand, and its movement was greatly restricted.

Taking this opportunity, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's limbs touching the ground again continuously input Earth Element energy, wanting to cast the Turn Mud into Stone skill to bind Aixi within the hard rock.

White Tiger Transformation Rainbow Technique!

At the critical moment, Geng Metal Airflow that was Indestructible appeared on Aixi's body surface, turning into a golden stream of light, forcibly breaking through the quicksand binding, and rushing toward the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat at an unimaginable speed.

Bang—

Aixi's speed was too fast; the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat could not react in time and was hit head-on by Aixi, slamming hard into the Restriction with the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat.

Bang—

The Restriction fluctuated violently and even developed countless cracks, looking like it was about to be broken.

The referee on the side had a drastic change in expression and hurriedly activated the Restriction with all their might; streams of energy rushed out from various energy nodes, turning into pillars of light of different colors, continuously pouring into the Restriction, which only then barely prevented it from breaking.

Bang—

After the kinetic energy vanished, Aixi and the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat both fell to the ground; due to the existence of the Restriction, Aixi also suffered some injuries, but compared to the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat, it was undoubtedly much better.

The Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's appearance was miserable; even though its defense was strong and the Mystery Guard had exempted part of the damage, its chest cavity was still dented, and it was unknown how many bones were broken.

However, for the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat, this was only a light to moderate injury.

Demon King-level Demon Pets are just that resilient, especially Earth Element Demon Pets that excel in defense.

Aixi quickly stood up from the ground and raised its right claw to slap the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat beside it.

The Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's expression changed, and it had to similarly slap out its claw, colliding with Aixi's right claw.

The moment the two collided, earthy-yellow brilliance flashed on the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's body surface, using Aixi's strength to fly back a distance.

Slap slap—

The Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat stepped on the ground, mud splashed, and a large hole appeared under its feet, as it had discharged most of the force acting upon itself into the earth.

Before Aixi could rush over again, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat acted again; countless Earth energy gathered and compressed, turning into sharp earth spikes a meter long, rushing toward Aixi in a swarm.

Wind Stealth!

While advancing, cyan light flashed on Aixi's body surface, as if it had turned into a Residual Shadow, successfully avoiding the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's offensive in a hair-raising way, and in an instant, it rushed in front of it again, waving its claw to slap over.

The Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat reacted extremely quickly, again inputting a large amount of Earth Element energy into the ground; a hard Earth Wall several meters thick suddenly appeared in front of it, blocking Aixi's path and simultaneously blocking its line of sight.

Bang— Clatter—

Accompanied by a dull sound, the Earth Wall instantly collapsed, turning into countless clods of earth flying everywhere, but because the Earth Wall blocked it for an instant, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat took the opportunity to complete an evasion and jumped high, clawing at Aixi's right eye.

At the critical moment, Aixi again cast the Law of Heaven and Earth skill, but this time its body size did not grow larger again; instead, it shrank to less than ten meters long.

Relying on the shrinking of its body, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat's attack missed, and at the same time, Aixi also became more agile, no longer letting the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat have all the glory.

As a price, Aixi's strength also shrank significantly, but it was still much stronger than the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat.

In this state, Aixi's strength, physique, and speed were all stronger than the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat, and even in agility, where the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Rat had the most advantage, the shrunken Aixi was not inferior to it.

Under such circumstances, as long as Aixi plays it steady and sure, failure will inevitably await the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse.

The next moment, the two Demon Pets seemed to turn into one white and one yellow shadow, constantly chasing and colliding on the field.

Within the span of a few breaths, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse bit toward Aixi's neck.

Aixi tilted its head, avoiding the vital spot on its neck, but was still bitten through the fur on its shoulder by the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse, blood dripping everywhere.

It was also at this moment that Aixi swatted the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse away with one claw, and without waiting for it to land on the ground, shook its head, sending a ten-foot-long Wind Blade spinning rapidly toward the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse, as if to cut it in two.

At this critical moment, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse spat out a yellow light from its mouth, which collided with the ground, and using the reaction force, its body rose several meters again, barely dodging the Wind Blade.

The Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse did a flip in the air, landed steadily on the ground, and stared at Aixi, who was charging over again.

At this time, Aixi was already wrapped in three layers of Wind Cloak, which further strengthened its speed advantage.

Just as the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse cast Earth Wall again, Aixi suddenly vanished, as if shifting its form and changing its position, instantly crossing a distance of more than ten meters and appearing behind the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse.

This is the Instant Flash skill inherited from the White Tiger Bloodline, possessing a ghostly and unpredictable teleportation ability.

Steel Tail!

Before the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse could react, Aixi's tiger tail, flickering with a Rich metallic luster, lashed out fiercely at its body like a vertical steel whip.

Boom~

Under the immense force, the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse let out a miserable shriek in pain, flew backward uncontrollably, and slammed into a protruding rock.

Clatter~ Clatter~ Clatter~ Boom~

The rock could not withstand it and shattered instantly; the Myriad Phenomenon Spirit-Devouring Mouse continued to fly backward, smashing through two more protruding rocks along the way before finally crossing a distance of a hundred meters and slamming heavily into the Restriction.

Even though the three rocks and the hundred-meter distance mitigated part of the impact, the remaining force still caused the Restriction to tremble uncontrollably.

Today's goal: three, pigs, proof!
