Chapter 650 - 521: I Claimed Your Billion Heads
The Gluttonous Insect monster’s attack could kill or seriously injure any soul pet present. Even Zhan Ye couldn’t possibly have only sustained minor injuries!
At this moment, Duan Xinze issued another command to the Gluttonous Insect monster. He couldn’t believe that the Gluttonous King couldn’t kill a mere mid-stage Ninth-Rank Intermediate Monarch!!
The Gluttonous King quickly reoriented itself and surged forward, managing to scrape its claw blade against Zhan Ye’s body when it least expected it!
This time, Duan Xinze watched very carefully. He reasoned that the first miss was probably due to some fluke, but there was no way Zhan Ye could survive this second attack!
“Swish!!!”
The chilling claw blade swiped across, accurately striking Zhan Ye.
However, after such a fierce attack by the Gluttonous King, it only managed to leave a slight mark on Zhan Ye’s body without even breaking his defense!
Zhan Ye’s vitality is six times stronger than normal soul pets. Such a degree of injury was like a scratch to him, not causing him any substantial harm!
This time, Duan Xinze’s eyes widened even more!
A defensive ability of this magnitude could not possibly belong to a War Beast Mo Ye; this soul pet was completely illogical!!
Ting Lan, Shang Heng, and Ye Qingzi had all witnessed the Gluttonous King’s attacks on Chu Mu’s Zhan Ye. They were aware of Zhan Ye’s extraordinary vitality – under normal circumstances, the Gluttonous King’s attacks wouldn’t be able to kill him.
However, even if it can’t kill Zhan Ye, it should be able to cause serious injury. After all, the Gluttonous King’s attack far surpassed their own soul pets. But they never expected that after taking the Gluttonous King’s strikes twice, Zhan Ye was virtually unscathed, with an indifferent look towards the Gluttonous King leaping around him!
That was a Tenth-Rank Intermediate Monarch!
The look in Zhan Ye’s eyes was one of utter contempt, as if he were looking at a flea hopping in front of him!
“Swish!!”
“Swish!!”
After four or five consecutive hits, the Gluttonous Insect monster’s claw blade finally made a mark on Zhan Ye, and blood seeped out from its pitch-black armor!
It was clear that the Gluttonous King’s attack was capable of breaking Zhan Ye’s defense. However, it would need at least ten attacks to cause serious injury to Zhan Ye and he had six opportunities for limb regeneration.
So, in order for Duan Xinze’s Gluttonous King to have a chance to kill Zhan Ye, it would have to release 60 skills…
And this doesn’t even take into consideration Zhan Ye’s self-healing ability and strength boost from the Courageous Sting’s Heart.
“Are you done with your clown act?” Chu Mu’s face displayed a hint of cold mockery.
Duan Xinze’s face lost all signs of ridicule, replaced with shock and disbelief!
“Ninth grade soul armor… A young man has such a precious treasure!” Duan Xinze finally figured out what was happening. Each time his Gluttonous King launched an attack, an almost imperceptible starlight would shine, offering protection and rendering most of the Gluttonous King’s attacks ineffective.
“Hmm, so what? An awkward creature wishes to kill my Gluttonous King? Slowly wear down your War Beast Mo Ye, there’s no doubt it will die. Besides, do you really think I would waste time battling your Mo Ye, just standing by and watching as your companions get killed!” Duan Xinze said with a cold tone.
Since he couldn’t kill the War Beast Mo Ye, he would just shift his target—none of the soul pets in the field could stop his Gluttonous King!
Chu Mu lifted the corner of his mouth and sneered.
By this point, Mo Ye and the Demon Tree Warrior of Chu Mu were already prepared, with Mo Ye’s eyes continually locked onto the Gluttonous King, simply waiting for Chu Mu to issue a command!
“Demon Tree!” Chu Mu gave the order.
The Demon Tree Warrior’s roots, buried in the soil, quickly sprung out from the rocky ground. These roots aimed not to chase after the Gluttonous King, but to entangle the space where it intended to move!
In order to move, the Gluttonous King needed to jump from point to point but each spot was filled with the poisonous roots of the Demon Tree Warrior. If it stepped down, its foot would surely be pierced!
Its movement restricted, the Gluttonous King had no choice but to change direction. Regardless of how strange or unpredictable its movements were, the Demon Tree Warrior always managed to have its roots prepared in advance, completely confining the Gluttonous King’s movement.
“Shoo!!!”
Mo Ye transformed into a stream of silver light. In the moment when the Gluttonous King’s movement halted, its body conjured up five phantoms!!
The positions these five phantoms attacked were all different. One could say that these were the spots where the Gluttonous Insect monsters could dodge attacks. Now, with Mo Ye blocking them, the Gluttonous King could only protect its skull with its long claws and endure Mo Ye’s attack!
Mo Ye’s attack was not weak, but the Gluttonous Insect monster’s defense was even worse. After a Crown Flame Claw landed, a long claw mark appeared on the Gluttonous King’s forelimbs and body. The Crown Flame swiftly penetrated the wound and into the Gluttonous Insect monster’s body.
“Hiss!!!!!!!!!” The Gluttonous King’s body was burned, causing it to let out a painful cry, wildly writhing its body to dodge Mo Ye’s follow-up attack.
“Zhan Ye!” Chu Mu commanded to Zhan Ye.
The Gluttonous King had just rolled away when Zhan Ye was already waiting for it to rise again.
Zhan Ye’s Ink Armor was completely black. When it started to gather strength, the clearly visible Horned Armor Beast Demon Pattern on its body lit up, circulating an ancient and mysterious luster.
The radiance swept over and concentrated on Zhan Ye’s Claw Blade, doubling the power of the Beast Type!
After the battle with the Abyss Centipede, Zhan Ye’s Horned Armor Beast Demon Pattern had become even more vibrant. The Horned Armor Beast Demon Pattern was still in the initial stage of awakening. However, that beginning stage had already endowed Zhan Ye with a powerful effect that doubled its attack power!
Dawn Death Blade!!!
This Eighth-Level Battle Skill alone could make Zhan Ye’s attack reach the power of a Ninth-Level Intermediate. With the Demon Pattern’s effect, Zhan Ye’s this attack was almost on par with the power of a Ninth-Level Late Stage!!
Even when reaching the Tenth Rank, the defense of the Gluttonous Insect monster, a Soul Pet gifted with speed, may only reach the level of a Ninth-Level Intermediate at most. Zhan Ye’s attack was enough to tear its body apart!!
The Dawn Death Blade had only one streak, resembling a piece of morning light blooming at the horizon. First piercing through a glint of light, it then transformed into a narrow sharp blade, slowly sweeping towards the Gluttonous King.
This slice was not very fast, but it couldn’t be dodged due to the close distance!
“Swish!!!!!!!!!”
The blade of dawn swept across, unobstructed, slashing open the Gluttonous King’s body. It cut open not only its defensive skin, but it also snapped several of its spine bones!!
The attacked Gluttonous Insect monster bent painfully, crushed by the giant fissure opened by the Dawn Death Blade on the rocky ground.
Seeing the Gluttonous Insect monster wounded, Duan Xinze’s face turned black instantly!
At this moment, he could hardly maintain calm, because he simply didn’t know how this kid could easily manipulate the every move of his Gluttonous King!
After the Gluttonous King was attacked by Zhan Ye, although it still had combat power, Chu Mu’s three soul pets were encircling and relentlessly attacking it, regardless of where the Gluttonous King moved!
Duan Xinze would of course not know that Chu Mu had the Heterochromatic Eyes, the Achilles heel of speed. The Gluttonous King, a Medium Grade Monarch, was so fiercely restricted that Duan Xinze genuinely realized the man he was facing was far from simple!
Chu Mu had previously said that he would end the fight within a minute. Now, the minute was almost over, but the Gluttonous King was already on its last breath. Within this minute, every attack from Chu Mu’s three soul pets was anticipated, absolute speed advantage, and combined with the invisible ability, the Gluttonous King was abused!
“Chu Chen, do you have the ability to foresee? Otherwise, how can the attacks of your soul pets seem to be completely random yet just happen to hit the Gluttonous King right on spot? That’s a Tenth Rank Medium Grade Monarch, how can it look so weak??” Shang Heng dumbfoundedly stared at the dying Gluttonous Insect Monster.
Just one minute ago, they were frightened and had to withdraw, hard-pressed to defend against even one fierce attack from this Tenth Rank Medium Grade Monarch. But one minute later, this powerful and chilling Tenth Rank Medium Grade Monarch was stepped on by Chu Mu’s Mo Ye, making a faint hissing sound and looking pitiable.
Ting Lan’s gaze was fixated on Chu Mu. She noticed Chu Mu’s heterochromatic eyes.
She remembered this skill. It was the different race domain skill that Chu Mu had chosen in the Holy Book Pavilion. However, she never thought this inferior different race domain skill could be utilized to such an extent!
They need to know that a Tenth Rank Medium Grade Monarch is four levels higher than their own soul pets. Such a creature is a killing machine in the second tier, almost unstoppable!
“It… It’s some skill. There must be some skill. Otherwise, you couldn’t possibly track the movements of my soul pet!!” Duan Xinze said angrily.
The Gluttonous Insect monster of the Tenth Rank Medium Grade Monarch is Duan Xinze’s biggest bargaining chip. What caused his collapse was that the Gluttonous King, which merged the lives of all Gluttonous Insect monsters, was killed in just one minute!!
“I’ll take your 1 billion bounties!” Chu Mu said coldly.
After saying that, Chu Mu’s eyes gradually returned to their original luster. However, in his black pupils, there was an overwhelming cold-blooded killing intent!
The Thousand Mothers inherently have combat power, but its strongest ability is to spawn Gluttonous Insect monsters. Once the vanguard Gluttonous Insect monsters are killed, what else does Duan Xinze rely on to fight against four Soul Pet Masters?
Duan Xinze looked extremely pale. Where was his arrogant and superior appearance from earlier? After all, relying solely on the Hundred Mothers, Duan Xinze certainly could not contend with over a dozen Ninth-Rank Intermediate Monarchs! (.)
