Crack!
Like the cracking of bones, there was a harrowing sound that sounded from the Tyrannosaurus' mouth.
Everyone looked over at the sound of the Eternal Night Clan lady's bloodcurdling scream.
The Tyrannosaurus had a hulking body, not unlike a dragon-shaped fighter jet made of steel, and it stood in front of the palaces, blood dripping down the sides of its mouth.
Through its teeth that glinted something cold, the half-severed body of the Eternal Night Clan lady was still visible and struggling.
It was a terrifying moment, and all movement in the palace ceased for a beat.
Two meters away, Ye Qiushan lifted his head in shock.
He saw the Tyrannosaurus that was barely any distance from him, and he could hear his head buzzing.
With his heart still seized by terror, he stepped on the Two-Headed Bat beneath his feet.
And steered it to escape into the distance.
Rumble!
But just then, the Tyrannosaurus's hulking body turned, and the earth quaked, and then there was a booming rumble. Its pair of enormous wings cut forth like blades.
Whoosh!
The razor-sharp knife Sword Gust left the air roiling in waves.
It caught up with Ye Qiushan and the Two-Headed Bat beneath him in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Ye Qiushan's gaze was coloured with shock.
The Tyrannosaurus was far too close to him.
It had struck far too quickly as well.
There was nothing he could do but watch with his eyes wide open as that Sword Gust charged at him.
Amidst the horror and the despair, he could only grit his teeth and leap up savagely from the Two-Headed Bat.
Rumble!
As Ye Qiushan's body leapt into the air, the Two-Headed Bat beneath him that could not dodge the blow in time was thus slashed across the middle of its body by the Tyrannosaurus's sharp Sword Gust.
It immediately turned into the blood that rained down the skies.
It poured and poured.
Ye Qiushan was, at this moment, still suspended in the air.
He was about ten meters or so from the ground.
"How did it come to this?"
On the other side, the Beast Tamer, who had the Hundred-Eyed Demon Bug on his shoulder, watched the Tyrannosaurus that had suddenly appeared beside the Eternal Night Clan lady and ate her alive. Disbelief and shock swam in his eyes.
His Hundred-Eyed Demon Bug was most adept when it came to perception.
Ever since he bonded with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Bug, there had never been a Beast Tamer of the same level whose beast could sneak upon him.
Hoo!
While he was still struggling to figure things out, the Tyrannosaurus's gigantic head tilted up, and the Eternal Night Clan lady's desecrated corpse was flung far away like a gunny sack, crashing right in front of Ye Xuan, who was in the distance.
Following the beast's lunge forward, the wind howled violently.
With its five-coloured claw and a low huff, it tore a hole through the chest of the Beast Tamer with the Hundred-Eyed Demon Bug.
Roar!
After it struck, the Tyrannosaurus lifted its head and abruptly let out a growl, one loud as thunder that could level the ground.
This growl spread swiftly, like roiling sound waves. One of the Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers by its side was very visibly terrified; he stood in his spot as if struck by lightning.
He could only watch with his eyes wide open as the Tyrannosaurus spread its razor-sharp wings and turned into an ice-cold killing machine, killing and slashing like a feral, savage tiger.
There was no telling when the Tyrannosaurus's ice-cold, razor-sharp teeth would sink into your body.
"Ye Xuan."
From Ye Xuan's shoulder, Lil Wan watched as the Tyrannosaurus's hulking mass of a body tore through the Eternal Night Clan squad in a rampage. She gulped and said, "We have to finish perfecting the squad as soon as possible, or there's no telling when we'll be on the receiving end of this."
"I know."
Ye Xuan nodded in agreement.
Fortune's wheel was always turning—he was very well aware of this.
This was why perfecting his own squad of beasts was a matter of extreme urgency.
As he pondered, he could not help the Thundercloud Lightning Wings image that floated to the forefront of his mind.
Nor could he help but think about the Tidal Treasure Snail that the Elder of Arrays had mentioned.
If he could bond with these two beasts, there was no doubt that his survival capabilities would skyrocket.
"Huh?"
While he thought about all this, his heart stirred.
He let Lil Wan lead him away into the distance.
There, Ye Qiushan was scrambling to escape.
He might be a Dark Iron warrior, but that fall from ten or so meters high up in the sky still earned him a broken leg either way.
"D*mn it!"
"D*mn it!"
"Why's the guy so strong?!"
"Why's the guy so strong?!"
"How did he manage to have his beast sneak up on us?!"
As he tried to flee, Ye Qiushan was cursing non-stop.
Hiss!
After about 20 or 30 meters of his desperate escape, the enormous Demon Centipede King appeared right in front of him, quick as lightning.
Ye Qiushan gave up maintaining any sense of decorum as soon as he caught sight of the Demon Centipede King.
He lurched forward and sprawled over the Demon Centipede King's back.
He wrapped his arms around the Demon Centipede King's body and tried to escape into the distance.
"Looks like your hatred for me runs deep, huh?"
Ye Qiushan's fists were clenched tightly, and the gaze in his eyes glinted coldly with hatred.
At that moment, Ye Xuan appeared suddenly, like the devil, right in front of him, blocking his way.
"You!"
Ye Qiushan's face contorted.
Whoosh!
He did not have the chance say much before a green vine, one that had been in ambush beneath the ground suddenly burrowed out of the ground to bind him to the Demon Centipede King.
"Tighten!"
Lil Wan signalled.
The vine that had looped itself around Ye Qiushan was suddenly curling tightly around him like a large, green forest snake.
"Ah!"
Instantly, a pathetic wail tore through Ye Qiushan's throat.
The Divine Wood Royal Vine had perfectly inherited the Spawn Ironwood Thorns ability.
All Lil Wan had to do was think it, and the Divine Wood Royal Vine would shoot out metal, needle-like thorns that were jet black.
Like cruel torture, they pierced his body instantly.
Ye Qiushan's body began contorting through the excruciating pain.
He could only look at Ye Xuan earnestly, in prayer, as he endured the agonizing pain.
"Want me to spare your life?"
Ye Xuan shook his head.
He had come here this time to get rid of Ye Qiushan once and for all.
Despaired when he saw Ye Xuan shake his head, his eyes bulged, and he fell unconscious.
Crack!
Lil Wan kept a firm hold over the Divine Wood Royal Vine even though she saw that Ye Qiushan had passed out, gripping so tightly until he did not look human anymore before she finally loosened her hold.
Just then.
Following Ye Qiushan's death.
As Tyrannosaurus was lost amongst the Eternal Night Clan Beast Tamers and executing them.
This battle very quickly came to an end.
Once a Beast Tamer died, its beast would follow soon after.
The Eternal Night Clan lady's Underworld Swordsman and Demon Bone Serpent King were both four-star beasts, if not five-star ones.
They had both been extremely showy during the battle.
But after Ye Xuan killed the Eternal Night Clan lady, they suddenly froze on the battlefield and perished.
"Senior, I am Fang Lan, a student of Zhongzhou University's affiliated all-girls high school, and these are all my classmates. Thank you for rescuing us all earlier, " Fang Lan thanked him earnestly. As the battle came to an end, she brought her ten or so classmates with her as she came right up to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan did not seem that much older than them.
Which was why they referred to him as "senior."
"There's no need for all that, " Ye Xuan said with a shake of his head.
He then tilted his head up and looked at the ten or so Silver Horn Beast Tamers, who were dozens of meters out.
These people had been standing there when he arrived earlier.
And now, they were still standing there.
These people neither participated in the battle nor left, and he was rather confused about that.
As he mulled it over, he asked Fang Lan, "Who are those people?"
Those people?
Fang Lan instantly diverted her gaze to the ten or so Silver Horn Beast Tamers as well when she heard him.
"D-don't be mistaken! We're only here to look and nothing else."
"That's right; we're leaving right now!"
They noticed Ye Xuan looking at them. They also noticed the Tyrannosaurus, that had walked over to Ye Xuan after the battle ended, looking over at them with Ye Xuan.
The group of Silver Horn Beast Tamers instantly reacted.
They immediately waved their hands and scuttled away, fleeing.
"Those guys!"
Coco, who stood beside Fang Lan, shook her fists, her face contorted in anger.
But then she immediately felt that this was not a good look on her.
So she lowered her fists and looked at Ye Xuan, her face a little red.
But Ye Xuan paid her no mind.
He looked towards the space above the lake right in front of him after the Silver Horn Beast Tamers took their leave.
At the pearl that was shining gold and silver, that the crimson carps were fighting over.
"This must be the Phantom Orb of Sol, then?"
