Astral Pet Store Novel - Chapter 662
Chapter 662 One Man Against Them All
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Su Ping dashed around amid the crowd of beast kings while covered in white bones.
Slaying those Ocean State beast kings was like child’s play to him.
He had already been able to fight against the Otherworld Heavenly King which was at the Fate State when he was merely at the seventh rank while merging with the Little Skeleton. The Heavenly King had probably not displayed all of its strength back then, but Su Ping did have the strength to punch those at the Void State to death at that time.
He had recently broken through to the peak of the ninth rank and had attained Solar Bulwark’s second level. The understanding of all his skills had become more profound after his experience on the Celestial Star.
Dealing with powerful enemies with the least effort!
A human slaying beast kings!
Dealing with the Starburst Dragon was already an easy task for him.
He would have had to exert a great effort to kill a Void State battle pet warrior in the old days, let alone a dragon of a similar rank.
“How dare you leave the Deep Caves? Go and rot in hell!”
Su Ping glared at the beast kings.
One day, he would make the beasts know that the world of humans was off-limits to them!
As Su Ping finished more and more beast kings, the ones that he had yet to attack were already scared out of their wits. Once he killed the Starburst Dragon, the remaining beast kings had already developed an urge to run for their lives.
Su Ping went on and on, until the beast kings turned around and ran away at once.
Humans were cheering while they saw this happen.
The beasts were the ones cheering just moments before.
Humans had been steadily losing ground, barely able to hold on. Wild beasts saw humans like cats saw mice.
But then, everyone experienced how even the extremely arrogant beast kings would also tremble in fear and end up running for their lives!
“I knew it. I knew it…”
Far in the distance, Venerable the Blade was helping the other battle pet warriors in dealing with the ninth-rank beasts. He felt his blood boil with excitement upon seeing Su Ping’s gallant deeds.
He always knew that Su Ping would exceed his expectations!
Not even a Void State Warrior would act as valiantly as Su Ping!
He still remembered how he had visited Su Ping’s store with Yuan Tianchen. It turned out that the latter had almost gotten himself killed by that golden haired girl in Su Ping’s store!
Yuan Tianchen had only survived because he had managed to teleport away!
Su Ping was an inscrutable enigma for Venerable the Blade.
The Longjiang Base City should be the safest place in the world. Lord Nie was blinded by his petty short sightedness… Venerable the Blade thought.
If Lord Nie had not meddled in the process, Longjiang would have been a part of the Xing-Jing Defense Line. The moment Longjing was attacked, the Longjiang Base City would have sent reinforcements over.
Even the breathtakingly beautiful girl with golden hair in Su Ping’s store would have been enough to handle all the wild beasts!
They would have suffered less and many people wouldn’t have had to die! Venerable the Blade felt a pang in his heart as he looked at the collapsed buildings and the corpses that the wild beasts were stomping on!
He decided to report the whole thing to the master of the Tower once everything was over. He no longer cared if the Void State Warriors would hold a grudge afterwards!
Boom! Boom!
The sounds of explosions lingered and the ground shook.
No beast king stood a chance. Su Ping took away their lives, one by one!
Defense skills. Close combat. Bloodline skills!
No skill of any sort would work to withstand Su Ping’s punches.
Some beast kings tried to fight him, but Su Ping still managed to punch a hole in their bodies. That violence was a shocking sight.
The beast kings were routed in less than three minutes!
Yes. The area with beast kings was the most difficult one since the attack began; it was at the moment covered with beast corpses in a matter of minutes. Some of the beast kings were as large as buildings, and yet they were lying on the ground like mountains of flesh.
Is that the place? I think that’s an underground passageway to the Deep Caves…
Su Ping stopped in mid air. Many corpses lay disorderly around the broken steel and concrete structures.
The large beast king corpses were testimony to Su Ping’s advantage, being a powerful yet smaller-sized human being.
The beast kings were taken care of. Su Ping had noticed another area some distance away where beast kings were gathered, but he didn’t detect the presence of any legendary battle pet warriors.
Those beast kings were heading his way.
He closed his eyes and basically pinpointed the locations of those beast kings by using his perception. Two swirls appeared next to him; he summoned the Purple Python and the Void Bug Su Ping had also trained the Purple Python during his stay on the Celestial Star. The Purple Python had become quite resistant to fire; it could basically become immune to fire if there was another chance to visit the Celestial Star.
The Purple Python would become able to withstand any fire-related skills below the Fate State.
Of course, beast kings barely used any skills of a single sort. They would usually mix fire skills with lightning or spatial forces to increase their destruction power and hit rate.
But generally speaking, the Purple Python was powerful enough to deal with beast kings at the Ocean State.
In addition, the Purple Python’s constitution was also changing. While its strength remained at the peak of the sixth rank, its combat strength was close to the Ocean State! “Go ahead and do whatever you want to do with them,” Su Ping said to the two battle pets.
The Purple Python would technically be fine as long as the beast kings didn’t surround them. As for the bug, it was an alien being that would even trouble the gods in the Demigod Burial. The bug had a special trait which allowed it to consume dead gods and excrete Divine Crystals; its body was able to refine energy.
Su Ping had done experiments. The bug would poop strange things when it ate some beasts.
Of course, the bug would also discharge regular poop as well.
Greeny, a name that Su Ping had given to the bug, was good at disguising and was able to protect itself very well. Therefore, Su Ping didn’t worry about the two.
Greeny and the Purple Python charged toward the wild beasts with glee.
In the meantime, Su Ping ran toward the beast kings that were going after him.
Forty thousand meters, thirty thousand meters, fifteen thousand meters!
Su Ping was soon welcomed by many long-range strikes. The beast kings felt Su Ping’s presence which enraged them even more.
The onlookers started to get nervous after seeing that overwhelming spread of strikes.
Those skills were enough to destroy half of the Longjing Base City!
The skills were enough to instantly flatten a Class C base city; the inhabitants wouldn’t even have enough time to react; they would merely see how the sky would light up before the world reached its end.
Boom_!!
Dozens of strikes were shattered by Su Ping.
A mess of disrupted energy was left in the air, raging all across the sky. The void was collapsing. Spatial cracks were seen in the area.
Even an Ocean State Warrior would end up crushed by the turbulent air inside those void cracks!
There was a swirl in which the air had collapsed into.
Those beast kings knew that Su Ping was able to teleport so they were locking the surrounding space, also making it fragile so that a legendary battle pet warrior of the Void State was unable to teleport. Once Su Ping tried teleporting, he could be sucked into the turbulent air currents on a deeper level.
“Damn it!”
“Is he going to be okay?”
“Those beast kings sure are scheming. They’re working together!” “I knew those beast kings had a plan. They’re actually organized!”
“Once they take over Longjing, they’re going to take over the other base sites one by one and shift to the other defense lines. We’re going to be in tons of trouble!”
Many people were anxious.
Some of the titled battle pet warriors were worried. The other places would surely be affected once they lost that base city. The other two defense lines in the Subcontinent District would also be destroyed.
By then, the entire Subcontinent District would fall.
Phew!
A sharp cone suddenly appeared from a puff of smoke; the smoke was pulled upward and then torn apart. A figure covered by golden light rushed out of the smoke!
It was a person with a golden colored glow; he was completely unharmed!
The other battle pet warriors in the distance widened their eyes in disbelief and excitement!
He did it!
Su Ping did it!
He had survived that bombardment; even the seventh-rank and eighth-rank battle pet warriors were able to tell that Su Ping was much better than the beast kings!
Hope!
There was hope for them!
They gazed at Su Ping with nervousness and anticipation.
Roar!!
The beast kings were bellowing angrily.
Some beast kings were appalled by the appearance of the man. This human is the actual monster!
Many beast kings were thinking about withdrawing. However, the arrow had to fly once it was placed on the string. The beast kings still charged toward Su Ping as they launched another round of strikes.
The first round had failed. Maybe the second round would succeed!
Su Ping was obviously not planning on standing still to take on those attacks. He strode forward and teleported across tens of thousands of meters.
He could already see the beast kings clearly after several teleportations.
Su Ping was bombarded again. He lifted his hand and a golden fist image countered those strikes. Space rippled, leaving many cracks behind.
Su Ping stepped out from that mess of turbulent energy and stomped his feet on a beast king right in front of him.
The beast king was running over; it could produce an impact strong enough to destroy a mountain. However, Su Ping had stomped its head open!
Blood gushed out. Without the control of its brain, inertia carried the beast king forward until it fell on the ground. The corpse pushed many rocks and boulders forward, clearing out a whole area.
Su Ping vanished on the spot and reappeared in front of another beast king. He took out a sword and sliced open the many defensive layers protecting that beast king which was bleeding badly at the moment.
Compared to the beast kings, Su Ping was barely visible, but he was wreaking havoc wherever he went.
The beast kings fell into disarray. Some of them weren’t as good at close-quarter combat; Su Ping’s swift and elusive actions made it impossible for them to react in time, resulting in many of them ending up badly mauled or killed.
Roar!!
ere
A behemoth that looked like a tree was shouting. Its tree crown was made of flesh and blood and below it were countless tentacles. There were many invisible traps around the beast king; Su Ping would trigger the traps if he were to teleport to where the beast king was, which could send him to a turbulent spatial area.
Su Ping was able to tell that was their leader. He calmly readied his sword and slashed at the tree across the distance. Sin Cutter!
He infused the sword with astral powers and the vortices in his cells were spinning like crazy.
Some beast kings tried to disrupt the ray of sword light before it reached the tree, but the attack was strong enough to sweep them away.
The spatial traps around the tree were destroyed. The ray of sword light then disappeared into thin air.
Bang. A deep cut appeared on the trunk of the tree; the edge of the cut was adorned with black flames.
The arboreal beast king’s roots went deep underground and they were sucking something as if there was blood down below. The cut was being healed; however, the dark flames would burn the newly grown flesh and the cut became wider and wider. Blood and pus were oozing out.
Without hesitation, Su Ping ran into the group of beast kings.
Pff! Pff! Pff!
He would kill or wound a beast king with each attack; the beast kings were in disorder due to the shock. Soon after, seven or eight beast kings had stopped breathing; the stronger ones only had one last breath left in them.
Apart from Su Ping, no one else was making a sound.
How marvelous!
One man against all those beast kings, and he was winning!
Most importantly, Su Ping wasn’t relying on any battle pets. He had merged with one but no other battle pets were assisting him.
Who is this legendary battle pet warrior? Some battle pet warriors who didn’t understand the legendary rank were perplexed. That day’s battle had made them understand that legendary battle pet warriors could be very different!
There was no doubt that Su Ping was one of the best legendary battle pet warriors!
At the very least, he was the most powerful one they had ever seen!
No one knew that Su Ping was still at the titled rank. Even Venerable the Blade was convinced that Su Ping had reached the legendary rank. As for the fact that he sensed Su Ping was at the titled rank… He still believed that Su Ping was somehow masking it.
Combat strength was the most direct sign!
The beast kings had been routed before anyone came back to their senses. The beast kings that had escaped from the Deep Caves were either dead or wounded!
Su Ping didn’t go after them. First, he killed the beast kings that he had just wounded, including the tree beast at the Void State. Su Ping finished that tree with a second cut.
Overwhelming! Su Ping was much more powerful than those beast kings.
That was a fact. Su Ping didn’t even know how strong his combat strength was. He just had a feeling that he might be able to hold his own against a Star Rank being.
After all, he had combined the cut with the power of rules; that was something that only those at the Star Rank were able to do!
