Chapter 902: Qin Mingqing's Voluntary Concession (Second Update, requesting all)
However, in the next moment, Qin Mingqing's heart tightened again, because Li Zhangsheng had transformed.
After retracting the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel, Li Zhangsheng performed a roll in the void and instantly transformed into a Hundred-Armed Giant.
"What kind of ability is this?"
Seeing Li Zhangsheng transformed into a Hundred-Armed Giant, Qin Mingqing was filled with doubt; even with his extraordinary experience, he still had blind spots in his knowledge.
In an instant, the fifty heads of the Hundred-Armed Giant opened their mouths in unison, spewing out beams of earthy-yellow light that seemed to weave into a giant net, enveloping Qin Mingqing within it.
Chirp—
At Qin Mingqing's signal, the Crown Ice Owl beneath him released an ice crystal barrier; the light beams landed on it one after another, but they could only stir up layers of ripples and were never able to break through the defense line.
"The attack intensity has roughly reached the level of a top Demon Beast."
Looking at the ripples on the ice crystal barrier, Qin Mingqing immediately judged the attack intensity of the Hundred-Armed Giant, and the thought of capturing the leader to capture the gang crossed his mind.
At Qin Mingqing's signal, the Crown Ice Owl flapped its wings violently, and while speeding toward Li Zhangsheng, it shot two ice-blue rays from its eyes, rushing toward Li Zhangsheng at supersonic speed.
Li Zhangsheng ignored the incoming ice rays; giant stones instantly condensed on each of his arms, and with a piercing sound of breaking air, he smashed them crazily toward the Crown Ice Owl.
When the ice rays were about to hit, the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel automatically protected its master, and flames of gold and silver appeared on its surface, colliding with the ice rays.
After a brief stalemate, it looked as if the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel was about to be defeated.
However, at this moment, the Crown Ice Owl did not continue to maintain the ice rays; it quickly dodged and shifted in the air, avoiding the giant stones flying toward it, and occasionally blasting apart the stones that were unavoidable.
In the process of evading, the Crown Ice Owl continued to approach Li Zhangsheng.
After neutralizing a large number of giant stones, the Crown Ice Owl flapped its wings violently, and a misty ice-blue aura condensed, turning into countless ice spikes a zhang long, which pierced toward Li Zhangsheng at high speed.
Just at this moment, the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel turned into a stream of light, fell into the Hundred-Armed Giant, and disappeared.
In an instant, gold and silver light flames appeared on the surface of the Hundred-Armed Giant, as he had borrowed the power of the Sun Moon Shuttle Heavy Light Wheel to enhance his strength.
When the countless ice spikes passed through the gold and silver flames, most were instantly melted, and the remaining ones also had their power greatly reduced, failing to cause much damage to Li Zhangsheng.
Seeing that Li Zhangsheng had withstood this wave, the Crown Ice Owl shimmered with ice-blue brilliance, turned into a stream of light, and crashed over at high speed.
Li Zhangsheng hurriedly controlled his numerous Outer Arms and instantly unleashed countless fist shadows.
Boom—Crack! Boom—Crack!
The moment the two made contact, more than a dozen Outer Arms were instantly broken, but they also successfully neutralized the momentum of the Crown Ice Owl.
The next moment, the two began to enter the stage of close-quarters combat.
In order to hold back the Crown Ice Owl, even though he was at a disadvantage, Li Zhangsheng did not recall any of his Demon Pets.
Qin Mingqing clearly saw Li Zhangsheng's intention, but because the opportunity was rare, he was unwilling to miss such a good chance.
Unfortunately, because he had come too hastily, Qin Mingqing did not know Li Zhangsheng's methods, otherwise he likely would have changed his mind.
At this time, a Secret Realm Phantom appeared above Qin Mingqing's head, and he did not hesitate to bestow the Heaven and Earth Great Power onto the Crown Ice Owl.
For a time, the combat power of the Crown Ice Owl rose out of thin air, making it increasingly difficult for Li Zhangsheng to defend.
While Li Zhangsheng held back the Crown Ice Owl, hundreds of meters away, the Demon Pets of both sides launched long-range offensives in unison.
Due to the advantage in numbers, the offensives of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen's Demon Beasts were more dominant, suppressing Qin Mingqing's Demon Pets for a time.
Just as rumored, Qin Mingqing possessed three Saint Grade Spirit Pets; besides the Crown Ice Owl, the other two could only be considered relatively ordinary Saint Grade Spirit Pets.
In addition to the three Saint Grade Spirit Pets, Qin Mingqing also had eight Demon Beasts, two of which were temporary Demon Pets.
Demon Beasts are all very proud; after being defeated by a King, they do not easily submit and often choose to never yield until death, which directly leads to great difficulty for Kings wanting to contract wild Demon Beasts.
In the long-range exchange, Qin Mingqing's Demon Pets inevitably fell into a disadvantage.
Soon, both sides approached rapidly, and it looked like they were about to enter the stage of close-quarters combat.
At Li Zhangsheng's signal, Aixi and Kailan each entangled one of the Saint Grade Spirit Pets; with their abilities, even if they fell into a disadvantage, they could fully hold on for a period of time.
The remaining Demon Pets relied on strength in numbers, with many situations being two-on-one.
Of course, in chaotic battles, the coordination between Demon Pets is also a major factor.
Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets were naturally extremely outstanding, basically all being top-tier Demon Beasts.
Although Ning Bizhen's Demon Pets were slightly inferior overall, their quality was not at all worse than Qin Mingqing's.
In this way, even though Qin Mingqing's Demon Pets had the blessing of Heaven and Earth Great Power, the moment they engaged, they clearly fell into a disadvantage, and individual Demon Pets were even in precarious situations.
Such a situation made Qin Mingqing's heart jump wildly; he originally had no grudge against Li Zhangsheng, and in fact, his descendants got along well with Li Zhangsheng.
This time, Qin Mingqing's interception of Li Zhangsheng was nothing more than an order from the Dark Night King, and upon discovering that Li Zhangsheng indeed possessed the strength to contend with a King, he couldn't help but think of retreating.
If it were only Li Zhangsheng, Qin Mingqing would not have recognized reality so quickly, but if one added Ning Bizhen, who was not much weaker than a New King, Qin Mingqing had thoughts of backing down.
If he used all his methods, Qin Mingqing believed he could contend with the combined force of Li Zhangsheng and Ning Bizhen, but in that case, no matter which side won in the end, there would definitely be heavy losses.
He did not want to fight Li Zhangsheng to the death, because there was absolutely no need for that.
Moreover, Qin Mingqing was a noble King, not a servant of the Dark Night King; although there was a distinction of status between the two, it was more of a cooperative relationship.
Even if the mission to intercept Li Zhangsheng failed, Qin Mingqing believed that the Dark Night King, Dou Cangqiong, would not punish him; after all, after the fall of Dou Zhangsheng, the Langya Kingdom was left with only two Kings, Qin Mingqing and Luo Qingning, who still had to rely on them to guard the Abyss Gate or the capital; they were too busy trying to win them over, let alone punishing them.
Seeing that he could not take down Li Zhangsheng in a short time, and instead his own Demon Pets were retreating steadily and were in precarious situations.
Under these circumstances, Qin Mingqing hurriedly steered the Crown Ice Owl to return, which finally stopped the trend of collapse.
At the same time, Qin Mingqing began to transmit his voice to Li Zhangsheng.
"Let's stop fighting, let's stop fighting, this old man still wants to enjoy his twilight years!"
Qin Mingqing took the initiative to concede, and at his signal, his Demon Pets retreated a distance in an orderly manner.
Li Zhangsheng did not choose to pursue, signaling his Demon Pets to also retreat a distance.
