Chapter 774: Crown Sun Sparrow, Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon (First update,)

With its Wind Speed Characteristic fully activated, Aixi was the fastest, crossing over two hundred meters in the blink of an eye to appear before a Demon Beast.

This was a Demon Beast treant, a full fifty or sixty meters long, and also the tankiest existence in the first column.

Due to the two previous explosions, the Demon Beast treant had sustained some injuries, more or less.

Upon discovering Aixi, the Demon Beast treant was shocked, and hurriedly brandished countless thick, gnarled branches, lashing out at Aixi from all directions.

The treant was not fast, but its attack speed was not slow, and its combat style was extremely suited for close quarters.

Aixi chose to temporarily avoid the Keen Edge, manifesting a series of Residual Shadows, causing these branches to only strike its afterimages.

In an instant, Aixi appeared behind the Demon Beast treant, and without waiting for the treant to finish turning, it viciously clawed upward.

Crack!

How immense was Aixi's strength? Under this strike, countless wood chips flew, and a huge gap over ten meters long and several meters wide was torn directly into the Demon Beast treant's waist.

If it were an ordinary Demon Beast, it would at least have been severely wounded by this strike, even if it hadn't lost its combat ability, and a decline in combat power would have been inevitable.

Unfortunately, treants have no nerves; unless they die or their branches are knocked off, their combat power will not be impaired.

At the Demon Beast level, a treant's turning speed can be said to be very slow, but Aixi did not continue to attack the treant, instead, like a tiger entering a flock of sheep, it began to slaughter the surrounding Lord-rank Demon Pets.

These Lord-rank Demon Pets were mostly Li Zhangsheng's targets, and he had already transmitted these targets to his Demon Pets in advance.

As for the Demon Beast treant, it wasn't that Aixi didn't want to fight it, but that other Demon Pets had already come up, so there was no need for it to continue attacking.

Chirp—

The Crown Sun Sparrow and Xier Yasina simultaneously spat out scorching Flame Pillars; the two Flame Pillars merged midway, becoming noticeably thicker.

The Demon Beast treant could not finish turning in time and had part of its tree trunk engulfed by the Flame Pillars.

Crack! Crack!

The Demon Beast treant wanted to move, but its waist quickly turned to charcoal, and the sound of wood shattering came, causing it to snap directly into two pieces.

Boom—

The Demon Beast treant's severed trunk fell heavily to the ground, directly meeting its death.

Not far away, a New Pseudo-King's expression changed drastically, and he immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes filled with rage.

The Demon Beast treant was his Demon Pet, and also his only Demon Beast.

With the fall of the Demon Beast treant, it meant that apart from the Jade Bone on his arms, he was no different from an ordinary Sixth Rank.

Not to mention this tragic New Pseudo-King, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets had all entered a state of close-quarters combat.

They were extremely powerful, and most of the opponent's Demon Pets were not a match for them in a single exchange, being easily slaughtered by them.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!"

Seeing that the situation was extremely dire, Xiang Yutian's eyes were about to split, and he immediately made the most correct decision.

He knew very well that a defeat was inevitable; the only thing he could do was to cut his losses in time and avoid the possibility of a total rout.

If this continued, including Xiang Yutian himself, it was feared that not a single person from this batch of the Kailing Empire would be able to secure a seat in the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm.

Of course, Xiang Yutian was also afraid that his Demon Pets would suffer damage; after all, he was only one step away from becoming a King, and if he lost a Demon Beast, the blow to him would inevitably be great.

Thus, after finishing the order to retreat, Xiang Yutian's Demon Pets unleashed their most powerful attacks one after another, injuring or repelling Wu Zetao's Demon Pets.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xiang Yutian hurriedly recalled his four Demon Beasts, and mounted his Life-Bound Demon Pet to assist his other teammates in recalling their Demon Pets.

Why recall the four Demon Beasts? It was mainly because Xiang Yutian was afraid of suffering losses; his Life-Bound Demon Pet did not have such concerns.

However, with only one Life-Bound Demon Pet putting in effort, how much could Xiang Yutian really help? He inevitably faced extreme dissatisfaction from his other teammates.

Xiang Yutian preserved his losses, but they, without exception, all suffered heavy losses and were unable to stop their losses immediately, which naturally made them feel unbalanced.

As the contestants of the Kailing Empire gradually recalled their Demon Pets, the scales had completely tipped toward Li Zhangsheng's side.

"The last target!"

At this moment, Li Zhangsheng transmitted his thoughts to the several Demon Pets near the target.

His target was a Crown Sun Sparrow, possessing a Vigorous Grade Three-Legged Golden Crow Bloodline, belonging to a genuine Demi-God Beast, which could reach the Demon Beast level upon reaching adulthood.

This Crown Sun Sparrow was already an adult and had reached the Demon Beast realm; it was the main Demon Pet of another Senior Pseudo-King and also his trump card.

Unfortunately, it was not a Life-Bound Demon Pet.

In the time just now, because the Crown Sun Sparrow's speed was too fast, the attacks launched by Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets were always evaded by the Crown Sun Sparrow; under his remote control, the Demon Pets had now faintly completed an encirclement of the Crown Sun Sparrow.

Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen were not idle either; the two had been continuously unleashing Mental Shock at this Senior Monster Tamer.

This Senior Pseudo-King had previously lost a Demon Beast, and his Consciousness Sea was still in a state of shock; now, with Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen joining forces to launch a Mental Shock, his first attempt to recall the Crown Sun Sparrow ended in failure.

"Hurry!"

The Senior Pseudo-King's forehead was beaded with sweat the size of beans; at this moment, he was flustered and panicked. If the Crown Sun Sparrow fell, he would be like Xiang Xiong, becoming no different from a New Pseudo-King.

His teammates were overwhelmed and could not help at all.

The Senior Pseudo-King could only shout toward Xiang Yutian: "Captain, help me!"

Xiang Yutian wanted to pretend he didn't hear; after all, Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen's lineup was truly too strong, making even him feel his scalp tingle. But he also thought doing so was too fake and easily seen through, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and command his secondary ancestral Golden Dragon to rush over.

The secondary ancestral Golden Dragon, like the secondary ancestral Black Dragon, belonged to the Demi-God Beast dragon species, but the former's race was slightly stronger than the latter's, and it was also more robust.

"Secondary ancestral Black Dragon, Xier Yasina, entangle it!"

Under Li Zhangsheng's command, the secondary ancestral Black Dragon and Xier Yasina quickly shifted targets, intercepting the secondary ancestral Golden Dragon.

In the sky, three giant dragons, each fifty or sixty meters in size, were fighting.

Unexpectedly, even though the secondary ancestral Black Dragon and Xier Yasina were besieging the secondary ancestral Golden Dragon, they not only failed to gain the upper hand but were instead somewhat suppressed.

Li Zhangsheng wanted to check the secondary ancestral Golden Dragon's data, but he could not spare himself, so he had to send the Heaven Heavy-Pupil Bird over to help.

Under the siege of the three temporary Demon Beasts, the secondary ancestral Golden Dragon inevitably fell into a disadvantage, but there was no trend of it being defeated in the short term.

On the other side, the Crown Sun Sparrow was filled with panic; it wanted to escape, but was tightly entangled by Aixi, whose speed was a notch faster than its own, and was subsequently caught up to by Kailan, Baitian, and Heiye, whose speeds were not much inferior to its own.

At this moment, Aixi, Kailan, Baitian, and Heiye began to besiege the Crown Sun Sparrow from all directions.

As a Demi-God Beast, the Crown Sun Sparrow was very powerful, but being besieged by four Demon Pets that were completely not inferior to it, its fate could be imagined.

In the sky, the Crown Sun Sparrow folded its wings and went into a free fall, narrowly dodging Aixi's pounce.

Just at this moment, Kailan pinched a Seal Technique in mid-air, and countless green energies instantly converged into a giant tree nearly twenty meters in diameter, smashing heavily onto the back of the Crown Sun Sparrow.

Struck squarely by the giant tree, the Crown Sun Sparrow's eyeballs bulged right out of their sockets, covered in bloodshot veins that symbolized agony.

Enduring the pain, the Crown Sun Sparrow manifested golden-red flames on its body surface, frantically scorching the giant tree and burning it to nothing in an instant.

Yet at this very moment, Baitian and Heiye controlled a white and a black Light Flame Giant Sword to slash downwards.

This time, the Crown Sun Sparrow was in a state where its old strength had faded and new strength had yet to arise; with no way to dodge, it was struck on the back by the two Light Flame Giant Swords.

Working in tandem, the two Light Flame Giant Swords easily tore through the Crown Sun Sparrow's flesh and blood, striking against its bones.

Boom—

When the black and white Light Flame Giant Swords were about to lose their kinetic energy, under the control of Baitian and Heiye, they collided inside the Crown Sun Sparrow's body, followed by a chemical reaction that detonated them directly.

With two opposing energies exploding, the power was naturally 1+1 > 2!

Crack—

Under the intense explosion, countless bones of the Crown Sun Sparrow were shattered, causing it to let out a mournful cry as it plummeted from the sky.

Before it even hit the ground, the Crown Sun Sparrow had lost its life, and its corpse was immediately seized by Aixi.

Pfft—

The moment the Crown Sun Sparrow died, the turbulence in the Senior Pseudo-King's Consciousness Sea became even more tumultuous; he could not help but spit out a mouthful of blood, his expression becoming listless while filled with a sense of defeat.

After finishing off the Crown Sun Sparrow, Kailan, Baitian, and Heiye shifted their targets, charging one after another toward the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon, which had been forced into a disadvantage.

The Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon was Xiang Yutian's Life-Bound Demon Pet; Li Zhangsheng naturally wouldn't be stupid enough to kill it, but making it lose its combat ability was still possible, allowing him to collect some interest instantly.

Unless it possessed a Demon Beast with a trait similar to Limb Regeneration, the recovery speed of a Demon Beast was relatively slow; as long as the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon lost its combat ability, it would be enough to slow down the speed at which Xiang Yutian obtained points before it could recover.

Seeing three more Demon Beasts charging toward the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon, Xiang Yutian cursed inwardly and prepared to recall the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon.

Recall required time; even if Xiang Yutian had prepared for the recall in advance, it would still take two or three breaths.

Thus, before it could be recalled, the miserable Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon was besieged by six Demon Beasts, and for a time, countless dragon blood, dragon flesh, and half a Dragon Horn rained down, which Li Zhangsheng took the opportunity to collect.

In just a split second, the Secondary Ancestral Golden Dragon suffered heavy injuries.
