Chapter 771: A Great Battle is Imminent (Second update, requesting everything)

If Li Zhangsheng were a King, they would not be too surprised; after all, Kings can contract wild Demon King-level Spirit Beasts.

But Li Zhangsheng is merely a Pseudo-King, unable to temporarily contract wild Demon King-level Spirit Beasts, and can only cultivate them himself; the significance of this difference is not small at all.

Not only that, these three temporary Demon King-level Demon Pets include two Demi-God Beasts: the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon and the Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird. Using two Demi-God Beasts as temporary Demon Pets is simply too extravagant.

Even the most inconspicuous Red Dragon Xieryasina is stronger than an ordinary Demon King-level Red Dragon, and it is clearly no ordinary item.

Looking at these three temporary Demon Pets, Wu Zetao shook his head and gave a bitter smile. He helplessly discovered that even if he exhausted all his efforts, he might not be able to defeat Li Zhangsheng's three temporary Demon Pets.

If just the three temporary Demon Pets are this strong, there is no need to even mention Li Zhangsheng's main Demon Pets.

It was also the first time Wu Zetao discovered that, despite both being Top-tier Pseudo-Kings, the gap between them was so vast.

"Li Zhangsheng's combat power is likely approaching that of a King, or perhaps even comparable to..."

As Wu Zetao thought this far, he couldn't help but shake his head. Li Zhangsheng's combat power could not possibly be comparable to a King; in the history of this world, there has never appeared a Pseudo-King with combat power comparable to a King, even when facing a New King.

While Wu Zetao was lost in thought, the three temporary Demon King-level Demon Pets flew in front of Li Zhangsheng.

On the broad back of the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon, the corpses of over a dozen Intermediate Demons were piled up.

Zhao Rui also had a bountiful harvest, with a haul not much worse than Li Zhangsheng's three temporary Demon King-level Demon Pets, though he mainly focused on Intermediate Demons, still following the quantity-based route.

As they gathered, the Kailing Empire's team flew toward them aggressively.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen began to summon their Demon Pets one after another; in the battle just now, neither of them had gone all out.

Aixi, Kailan, Baitian, Heiye, Rungungun, Adai, Crown Sunlight Luan, Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon, Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird, and Xieryasina—Li Zhangsheng possessed nine Half-Demon King-level Demon Pets.

Three-Legged Fire Crow, Long-Eared Cold Jade Rabbit, Green-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast, Eight-Armed Naga, Red Dragon, and Seven-Eyed Marten—Ning Bizhen possessed five Half-Demon King-level Demon Pets.

Seeing such a luxurious lineup, Wu Zetao's lips trembled slightly, feeling that he was unworthy of the title of Top-tier Pseudo-King.

It wasn't just Wu Zetao; Zhao Rui and the other three Sixth Rank contestants from the Shayi Kingdom were equally shocked, and for a moment, they looked at each other in silence.

After the shock, Wu Zetao and the others instantly became full of confidence; having such powerful teammates filled them with assurance.

In just a minute, the Kailing Empire's team appeared half a mile away. While the two sides stood in a standoff, they were also sizing up each other's lineup.

The Kailing Empire's team possessed a total of ten Demon King-level Demon Pets, including the Red-Striped One-Legged Crane, which was still in a severely wounded state.

In terms of the number of Demon King-level Demon Pets, the Kailing Empire had exactly half as many as Li Zhangsheng's side.

However, they held an absolute advantage in Lord-level Demon Pets, with a number even exceeding one hundred.

Li Zhangsheng's side only had thirty-some Lord-level Demon Pets; of course, this was related to the fact that Li Zhangsheng, Ning Bizhen, and Wu Zetao had not released their Lord-level Demon Pets, otherwise the number could have been higher.

The reason they did not summon their Lord-level Demon Pets was mainly because if a chaotic melee occurred, Lord-level Demon Pets would be too dangerous; once they fell, it would not only be heartbreaking but would also affect their combat power.

At the same time, the aura-type skills of both sides' Demon Pets were activated one after another.

Although the number of Demon Pets on Li Zhangsheng's side was far less than the opponent's, the number of auras was actually higher. Almost every one of Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets had activated an aura, some coming from Treasures, but more being self-comprehended.

Furthermore, these were all aura-type skills of Demon King-level Demon Pets; not only did the bonuses for Demon King-level Demon Pets remain unchanged, but they could also significantly enhance the effects on Lord-level Demon Pets.

At this moment, the Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird shone brightly all over, beginning to unleash a Bloodline skill derived from the Chongming Bird—Bright Sanctuary!

Crack! Crack!

Li Zhangsheng crushed dozens of Light-element Demon Cores in one breath, causing the concentration of Light-element energy in the area to increase greatly, significantly reducing the energy consumption of the Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird.

There was no help for it; this was within the range of the Abyss Will's influence. Light-element energy was not non-existent, but it was exceptionally Sparse, and the Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird was almost fighting using the energy of its own Demon Core.

Under the control of the Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird, a hazy Light-element energy emerged on the surfaces of the dozens of friendly Demon Pets, turning into a circular energy barrier that protected them all together.

The nature of Bright Sanctuary was extremely suitable for the battlefield and could significantly improve the defensive capabilities of Demon Pets, especially for those Lord-level Demon Pets, as the one casting Bright Sanctuary was the Demon King-level Heavenly Heavy-Pupil Bird.

Besides Bright Sanctuary, the other Demon Pets also successively unleashed group or individual buffing skills.

This time, the reason Li Zhangsheng chose to fight the Kailing Empire's team head-on was mainly because the Kailing Empire occupied too many spots and was blocking his path.

Although he was very confident in himself and Ning Bizhen, there were always exceptions to everything. To secure a seat in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm with 100% certainty, the Kailing Empire's team was a topic that could never be bypassed.

Only by severely wounding the Kailing Empire's team could Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen, no matter how bad their luck was, use their strength to lock in their seats for the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, and he was also confident in bringing Zhao Rui in as well.

At this time, the backbone of the Kailing Empire's team, Xiang Yutian, suddenly shouted: "Li Zhangsheng, Wu Zetao, do you know the consequences of offending our Kailing Empire? As long as you are willing to apologize, compensate for our losses, and personally kill one of your Demon King-level Demon Pets, I can guarantee that bygones will be bygones!"

In fact, after seeing the opponent's lineup, Xiang Yutian felt his scalp tingle. The opponent had far too many Demon King-level Demon Pets; the strength between the two sides was relatively balanced, giving one a feeling of being evenly matched.

Of course, "evenly matched" was what Xiang Yutian thought.

Xiang Yutian was very clear about one thing: even if they eventually won the victory, they would inevitably suffer heavy losses; this was almost a certainty.

Now was the period for competing for Heavenly Dao Secret Realm seats; if they suffered heavy losses, it would be extremely disadvantageous for them.

Most importantly, Xiang Yutian could not guarantee whether his own main Demon Pets would remain unscathed.

Therefore, from the bottom of his heart, Xiang Yutian did not want to fight this battle.

But the losses this time were too great, especially since two Senior Pseudo-Kings had lost their Demon King-level Demon Pets, and he happened to be the team leader; he could only say this, otherwise, where would his prestige be?

Xiang Yutian could only hope that Li Zhangsheng and the others would agree to his demands, even though he himself thought it was unlikely.
