Chapter 886: Dou Zhangsheng at the End of His Rope (Second Update, requesting all)

Dou Zhangsheng's face was deathly pale; besides being frightened by Li Zhangsheng, it also had to do with re-summoning his Demon Pets.

Due to the death of two main Demon Pets, coupled with the significant aftereffects of using a Secret Technique, his Consciousness Sea was in a state of intense turbulence; now, summoning four Demon Beast-level Demon Pets at once at top speed only made his situation worse.

Dou Zhangsheng had no other choice; he could not sit and wait for death and had to drive Li Zhangsheng out as quickly as possible.

Unfortunately, Dou Zhangsheng was ultimately one step too late, as Li Zhangsheng had already rushed in ahead with Baitian and Heiye.

This Secret Realm had not been opened for long, and even though it had been carefully managed by Dou Zhangsheng, there were still not many high-quality wild Spirit Beasts, and crucially, there was no Dragon Lair.

It was true that Dou Zhangsheng was the Emperor, but the person with the most power in the Langya Kingdom was not him, but the Dark Night King, Dou Cangqiong.

It was for this reason that Dou Zhangsheng could not lay a finger on the dragons raised in the Royal Garden or the King's Secret Realm, and could at most take away a few.

The moment he entered Dou Zhangsheng's Secret Realm, Li Zhangsheng felt a sense of pressure; a King's Secret Realm was like the Divine Kingdom of a deity, possessing the advantage of weakening opponents while strengthening one's own combat power.

Of course, a King's Secret Realm was far inferior to a Divine Kingdom in these respects.

Li Zhangsheng sensed it; his Demon Pets' combat power was only weakened by about ten percent, which was still within his tolerance.

At this moment, Dou Zhangsheng launched a fierce offensive.

However, having lost the Sun Command, the Seven-Colored Glazed Treasure Umbrella, and two main Demon Pets, Dou Zhangsheng was no longer in his prime; even with a certain advantage within the Secret Realm, it was still difficult to safely bridge the gap between the two.

Of course, Li Zhangsheng's situation was not very good either; after all, he had only brought Baitian, Heiye, and the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon, while his other Demon Pets were still in the Imperial Palace confronting two Saint Grade Spirit Pets.

The Chi Dragon possessed the Ancestral Dragon Bloodline, and the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon was merely one transitional stage; otherwise, even if it were only a Lord-level Ancestral Dragon, its combat power would likely be comparable to a Saint Grade Spirit Pet.

Even so, the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon was almost equivalent to a top-tier Demon Beast.

The key was that after their temporary evolution, Baitian and Heiye's combat power had surged significantly, which filled Li Zhangsheng with confidence.

Additionally, unlike Dou Zhangsheng, although Li Zhangsheng had exhausted most of his mental energy, he could still maintain his transformation for some time.

The next moment, Baitian cast Light Protection, and a huge, milky-white barrier took shape.

Pop— Clatter—

Under the relentless, cost-ignoring siege of the four Demon Beasts, the Light Protection held for one breath before being forcibly shattered.

However, the offensive of the four Demon Beasts was also significantly weakened; with a thought from Li Zhangsheng, the Imitation Demon Refining Pot rushed out, manifesting a colorful curtain of light to block the shockwave.

Seeing Li Zhangsheng release yet another World Wonder, Dou Zhangsheng had the urge to vomit blood.

As the dignified Emperor of the Langya Kingdom, he only possessed two World Wonders, one of which had only recently been born in the Secret Realm he had opened himself; as a dignified King and Emperor, he was actually inferior to Li Zhangsheng in this regard.

Compared to Li Zhangsheng, Dou Zhangsheng was like the difference between a poor man and a rich man.

At this moment, Heiye transformed into a black shadow, like an arrow released from a bow, appearing behind a petite Demon Beast with unimaginable speed and swiping a claw down.

Rip—

Even though this Demon Beast reacted, its body was a beat too slow; a large gash was torn into its neck, and blood sprayed out like a fountain.

Although this Demon Beast was not killed instantly, it had suffered heavy injuries.

Roar—

The Four-Clawed Golden Dragon rushed over from the rear, raising its head to let out an overbearing Dragon Roar; under this roar, Dou Zhangsheng's four Demon Beasts could not help but be affected to a certain extent.

A Divine Beast is a Divine Beast after all; even if the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon's realm had not reached the Demon Beast level, its Dragon Might could still weaken the strength of Demon Beasts.

The next moment, the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon charged up and collided with a massive, Demon Beast-level blue dragon.

The Four-Clawed Golden Dragon managed to gain the upper hand, knocking the Demon Beast-level blue dragon back, and without waiting for the opponent to regroup, it quickly condensed a space blade several feet long and charged over, spinning at high speed.

Sizzle—

The Demon Beast-level blue dragon could not dodge in time; the space blade landed on its chest, forcefully breaking through the Dragon Scale and Dragon Skin, cutting deep into the dragon flesh and spraying a large amount of scalding dragon blood.

The Demon Beast-level blue dragon let out a painful Dragon Roar, but it endured the pain and charged at the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon once more.

Although the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon was a Divine Beast, Li Zhangsheng's greatest reliance was still Baitian and Heiye.

"Time is limited, finish this quickly!"

Li Zhangsheng knew very well that whether it was Baitian, Heiye, or the Four-Clawed Golden Dragon, their states had time limits; if he could not kill Dou Zhangsheng within the limited time, these three Demon Pets would not only revert to their original forms but would also fall into a weakened state.

By that time, Dou Zhangsheng would have the possibility of turning defeat into victory.

Li Zhangsheng naturally would not let the opportunity slip away; as Baitian and Heiye rushed up, he transformed into a Five-Colored Peacock and charged up as well.

While the three Demon Beasts were besieging Baitian and Heiye, Li Zhangsheng, in his Five-Colored Peacock form, did not hesitate to unleash the Five-Colored Divine Light, easily neutralizing the offensive of one of the Demon Beasts.

Baitian and Heiye immediately seized the opportunity; Baitian held off the offensive while Heiye condensed a black Light Flame Giant Sword, targeting the heavily injured Demon Beast.

Dou Zhangsheng wanted to rescue it, but he was powerless to do so and could only watch helplessly as his main Demon Pet was sliced in two by the Light Flame Giant Sword.

Dou Zhangsheng, who was already in a state of mental turbulence, saw his condition worsen significantly; his body swayed violently, his face turned as pale as gold paper, and his expression became somewhat dazed.

At this moment, Dou Zhangsheng felt very panicked, with a sense of facing death.

He had only recently become a King, and he was only in his early sixties; if he were supplemented with some Heavenly Material and Earthly Treasure that could extend his lifespan, he could probably live for another two hundred years.

Clatter—

Just at this moment, Heiye charged straight toward Dou Zhangsheng.

The two were only a hundred meters apart, and at Heiye's speed, it naturally arrived in an instant, appearing before Dou Zhangsheng and swiping a claw at his throat.

Dou Zhangsheng did not sit and wait for death and hurriedly raised his hand to block.

Rip—

Heiye's sharp claws swept past; although its body appeared petite, its strength was truly immense. Under the huge force, Dou Zhangsheng was sent flying back more than twenty meters against his will before he could barely stop.

Dou Zhangsheng's arm was dripping with blood, revealing five wounds deep enough to see the Jade Bone, and there were even clear claw marks left on the Jade Bone itself.

Even though the hardness of the Jade Bone far exceeded that of ordinary bones, it still had its limits.
