Chapter 802: Slaughtering the Pseudo-Kings (First update, requesting everything)

"Not good. Instead of both of us being finished, how about I cover our retreat? What do you think?"

Suddenly, Lin Tu's voice rang in Fang Chang's ear, which made Fang Chang pause slightly. He and Lin Tu were neither relatives nor friends, and they had only just crossed paths, even nearly fighting to the death. Why would the other party cover his retreat?

But before Fang Chang could think too much, Lin Tu immediately led his remaining few Demon Pets and turned to run. It turned out that his words just now were entirely to lure Fang Chang and buy himself time to escape.

"Fang Chang, I'm going to find reinforcements now! You must hold on!"

In the process of fleeing, Lin Tu's voice, full of loyalty, rang out. Fang Chang was immediately furious, wishing he could rush up and slap him twice.

Unfortunately, after Lin Tu's temporary retreat, Fang Chang had to face Li Zhangsheng's six Demon King-level Demon Pets alone, having already missed the final opportunity.

However, Li Zhangsheng had no intention of letting Lin Tu go either. One purple and one red hexagram appeared, and Aixi and Kailan were summoned. They were extremely fast, and in just two or three breaths, they caught up to Lin Tu.

By the time Lin Tu reacted, it was already too late. Kailan held a green light blade and chopped down with one stroke; a fine head flew high into the air and fell to the ground.

Lin Tu only felt a sharp pain in his neck, then saw a familiar headless corpse, and finally, his mind went black, and he lost consciousness completely.

By the time Lin Tu regained consciousness, he had already left the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm and appeared at the Ends of the Earth.

In this place, many eliminated contestants were gathered, among whom were not a few Pseudo-Kings like Lin Tu.

"Another Pseudo-King has been eliminated. I wonder which Stronger he encountered?"

"Don't jump to conclusions so easily; perhaps he encountered a group of wild Demon Beasts."

"Hmm, that is indeed a possibility."

When Lin Tu appeared, the familiar contestants began to whisper, many of them carrying a sense of schadenfreude.

Having been eliminated earlier, they naturally couldn't bear to see others doing well and wished for as many contestants to be eliminated as possible.

Lin Tu ignored the clamor and immediately observed the Demon Pets killed by Li Zhangsheng, discovering that apart from being a bit weak, they had no damage at all.

As for those Demon Pets that had not been killed, they were full of vigor and had not been affected in any way.

Like these Demon Pets, Lin Tu also felt a sense of powerlessness; this was the aftereffect of resurrection.

Besides the physical weakness, Lin Tu's heart was also filled with powerlessness.

They were both Pseudo-Kings, yet the gap was actually this large. He and Fang Chang had joined forces to resist; logically, even a Top-tier Pseudo-King could not easily defeat them. Yet, Li Zhangsheng had crushed them with absolute superiority in a few moves, and the key was that the other party had clearly held back.

"Three of them were even Temporary Spirit Pets. From this point of view, Li Zhangsheng definitely has more than eight Demon King-level Demon Pets. He has absolutely reached the pinnacle of Pseudo-Kings."

Lin Tu thought to himself. As for the idea of whether Li Zhangsheng could contend with a King, he hadn't even considered it, because it was too unrealistic.

In the history of the Fairy World, there had never been a Pseudo-King capable of contending with a King; at most, they could hold out for a period of time before inevitably suffering defeat.

While Lin Tu was daydreaming, another white light appeared, revealing a bewildered Fang Chang.

Seeing Fang Chang appear, most of the eliminated contestants couldn't help but take a few extra looks, because the interval between Lin Tu and Fang Chang was less than ten seconds.

Fang Chang took a deep breath and returned to his camp. Unlike Lin Tu, Fang Chang had not been killed; it was because all his Demon Pets had died in battle that he was teleported out.

Li Zhangsheng had left a profound impression on Fang Chang. In less than ten seconds, his two Demon King-level Demon Pets and multiple Lord-level Demon Pets had all fallen in battle, with almost no one able to withstand a single blow. This clearly struck a blow to Fang Chang's self-confidence, which was why his mood was somewhat low.

Even so, the two of them had been eliminated in the inner zone, which was completely different from the treatment of contestants eliminated in the outer zone; the elimination rewards given by the Heavenly Dao were significantly greater.

The Heavenly Dao is impartial. Competition in the inner zone is greater, and one needs to compete with other contestants and wild Spirit Beasts again to have a chance to obtain treasures, unlike the outer zone where one can easily obtain treasures from the Floating Island just by advancing to the next round.

It was precisely because of this that the elimination rewards given by the Heavenly Dao were so generous.

In the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng was tidying up his spoils of war.

While fighting Lin Tu and Fang Chang, Li Zhangsheng was also incidentally collecting the blood shed by these defeated Demon Pets.

Although the refined Spirit Essence was far less substantial than a whole corpse, it could still be considered a not-insignificant harvest, especially since he could repeat this operation.

By the time the Heavenly Dao Secret Realm ended, Li Zhangsheng might have Demon Pets that could evolve once more.

At this time, Li Zhangsheng said to the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon: "Spit out the Demon Pet you just swallowed!"

It turned out that just as the battle was about to end, Li Zhangsheng had specifically let the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon knock out one of Fang Chang's Demon Pets, and then immediately swallowed this petite Demon Pet.

In the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon's stomach, this Demon Pet naturally had no way to survive.

The Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon retched a few times, but only spat out some nauseating acid and did not spit out the corpse of that Demon Pet, inevitably revealing a puzzled expression (ω)!

"Did you digest it so quickly?"

The Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon shook its head vigorously and had to communicate with Kailan.

After a few breaths, Kailan began to translate: "The Black Dragon says it clearly hid the corpse of that Demon Pet in its stomach, but it seems to have disappeared just now. Its stomach has nothing but acid."

As a Demon King-level Demon Pet, the Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon had extremely strong control over its body. Even though its stomach contained a large amount of highly corrosive acid, it could control this acid well to prevent it from corroding the corpse of that Demon Pet.

The Sub-Ancestral Black Dragon had clearly done so, but what it couldn't understand was that the corpse of that Demon Pet had disappeared inexplicably.

"Could it be that treasures can be taken away, but the corpses of Demon Pets cannot? Next time I have a chance, I'll go find a wild Spirit Beast to test it. By the way, next time I must also take a prisoner to inquire about information on the inner zone."

After making his decision, Li Zhangsheng's gaze immediately fell on the Treasure Vat not far away; he wondered what kind of treasures were stored inside.

After easily defeating two Pseudo-Kings, due to fear of Li Zhangsheng's might, some contestants and wild Spirit Beasts who had originally wanted to compete for treasures all changed direction, which also left Li Zhangsheng in peace.

Barely finished before midnight.
