Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 401
Chapter 401 One Punch to Clear up the Sky
Joanna gazed at Su Ping. She was well aware that he wasn’t only a greedy businessman that would take candy from a baby; on top of that, he was also a heartless and cruel person.
“Okay,” Joanna said. She wasn’t any less heartless and cruel than he was.
War and blood were things she had grown used to.
Not to mention the fact that with so few people present, this wasn’t even a “war”!
Hardly had her voice faded away when a stream of holy and pure energy slowly flowed out of her. Her golden hair danced around as her manner became more and more imposing. Instantly, her energy had reached the peak of the titled rank!
Then, without any signs of stopping, her energy reached the legendary rank!
She had revealed her true power at this moment.
The steam of golden energy was surging out from her and from under her feet. She was wrapped out in a holy glow.
Appalled by the sudden change of the girl, the others standing around could not help but back up further.
Although Venerable the Blade had been better prepared mentally, he was still feeling the suffocating sense. It was as if a towering mountain was coming down on him, trying to push him to the ground.
He had never been so stressed out, not even when he was with Yuan Tianchen!
“She…”
Tang Ruyan was panic-stricken.
She had stayed in the store long enough to tell that Joanna was a special and powerful person. But she never knew that Joanna was able to reach such a terrifying state. Feeling Joanna’s imposing manner, Tang Ruyan almost collapsed to the ground.
On her side, Yan Bingyue had a dull look in her eyes and her brain had stopped working.
Whoosh!
A glaring beam of golden light was gathered in Joanna’s hand, which then took the shape of a long spear, a spear with divine energy!
As the spear came into being, a stream of energy that no one had experienced before was spread out. Joanna raised her head and gazed at the Dark Feather Phoenix and the flock of Thunder Sparrows with her crystal-clear eyes.
Destroy them!
She made up her mind. The strong force that spurted out from her pushed away the people close to her. Only Su Ping remained unaffected because he was under the protection of the store.
Not even Venerable the Blade and Xie Gange had been able to resist the burst of power that Joanna had exerted. They were unable to remain standing; the sudden energy wave she produced had smashed them to the sides. Joanna bent her knees and then she flew up to the sky! She was like a beam of golden light that was shedding light into a world shrouded in dark shades!
The ground trembled when she kicked to propel herself upward. The staircase by the door of Su Ping’s pet store remained intact. However, there was a long and meandering crack on the street outside the safety zone of the store’s territory. It looked as if the store were a separate part of the street. Her kick had broken the ground!
It was hard to imagine how fast and forceful she was!
Joanna didn’t resort to the skill that those at the legendary rank were most proficient at. She chose to face her opponents head-on.
Even though she didn’t use teleportation skills, she was moving just as fast.
The Dark Feather Phoenix had a bloody cut in its neck, one that dug deep until it reached the bones. The Little Skeleton had almost beheaded the Dark Feather Phoenix. However, the Dark Feather Phoenix had mastered special defensive skills which had weakened the impact of the cut. That was how the beast had managed to stay alive! Still, it was already rare for a Dark Feather Phoenix to sustain a wound so serious.
Surprise and anger seized the Dark Feather Phoenix. Before it could react, the Dark Feather Phoenix had sensed a stream of energy whooshing up.
A beam of golden light rose into view!
Bang!!
The beam of golden light reached the Dark Feather Phoenix’s chin and then penetrated its entire head!
Blood drenched the Dark Feather Phoenix!
The brains and blood from its head were all squeezed out!
A shot to the head!
This was beyond comprehension. The baffled look was still visible in the Dark Feather Phoenix’s eyes.
In the meantime, the loud noise of the blast had finally reached its ears! Instant defeat!
The Dark Feather Phoenix was unwilling to accept its fate. However, a greyish color had begun to spread across its eyes with its wings hanging down. The formerly ruffled feathers began to recede. The towering Dark Feather Phoenix gradually fell, head-down, on its way to crashing over the street and the nearby buildings!
Given the sheer size of the Dark Feather Phoenix and the height from which it was falling, its crash could very well cause an earthquake that would damage all the buildings on the street.
Su Ping was standing by the door. A glint of coldness rose in his eyes. He mobilized all of his astral powers and directed them to the Star Prism. A power that was more awe-inspiring than ever before burst out from him!
That was a power that could match the upper position of the titled rank!
He was still at the intermediate position of the sixth rank. However, having spent a long time in the Demigod Burial, his astral powers had been refined and enhanced to a level equal to the upper position of the seventh rank. The Star Prism increased that by two ranks to emulate the upper position of the ninth rank!
Of course, this increase was merely temporary. The powers would be burnt out in an instant!
Venerable the Blade and Xie Gange gazed at Su Ping in shock. The family elders, Tang Ruyan and Yan Bingyue were wearing frightened expressions.
Su Ping was a young man of about twenty years of age!
He had been proven to be able to defeat titled battle pet warriors but they all saw it as him having a strength that didn’t match his rank. But at this moment, they were feeling authentic astral powers of the upper position of the titled rank!!
Is this the truth about Su Ping?!
While they had yet to recover from their astonishment, Su Ping shouted all of a sudden as he flew up. He had used the Strength Enhancement in the Demigod Burial to double his physical strength comprehensively. A golden hue surrounded his arm. That was a result of Divine Energy!
Fist of Exorcist!
Divinity enhancement!!
Boom!!!
It was as if a nuclear bomb had been detonated above everyone’s heads! The moment the noise of the blast came through, everyone felt they had gone deaf for a moment. The ripples in the air carried the noise across the street!
The shades and clouds up in the air were dispersed.
Light shone through. The Dark Feather Phoenix that was on its way to crash into the street was suddenly torn into pieces. The remains were scattered around on the street, making many pits on the ground. The pieces of flesh that landed on the store bounced back instead of crushing the building. For the time being, the street was in a mess, covered with blood and remains.
A heavy downpour of blood started again!
Some of the buildings that weren’t part of Su Ping’s store did suffer and some collapsed under the rain of remains. That being said, the situation was much better, considering the alternative scenario, with the entire Dark Feather Phoenix falling in one piece.
The remains and the blood stunned Xie Gange and Venerable the Blade into speechlessness. Su Ping had smashed a Dark Feather Phoenix at the peak of the ninth rank into pieces with one punch!
What kind of strength was that?!
The family elders were frozen on the spot. The two elders of the Liu Family in particular had a dull look in their eyes. They even forgot to use the astral shield to stop the rain of blood from falling over them.
Tang Ruyan and Yan Bingyue were dumbfounded.
A monster.
The young man who was standing in the air was a human-shaped monster.
Su Ping was trying to find his breath. He had drained his energy.
Su Ping breathed in relief as he stared at the scattered remains on the ground. The fact that he could achieve this result with one punch was mostly because the Dark Feather Phoenix had died. Energy had ceased to move around in the dead Dark Feather Phoenix. As a result, the beast was no longer able to use any defensive skills; it wasn’t strange for Su Ping to be able to smash it with one punch.
Su Ping looked up and saw Joanna. She was imbued in the golden hue with the spear in her hand. She was an invincible war goddess!
Standing in front of her was an old man who appeared to be transfixed. That was the person who had been standing on the back of the Dark Feather Phoenix.
