Chapter 136 - Giant Devil Bear
Life had a sense of humor. The Lingwu family’s intel agent had indeed only found one Giant Devil Bear. Unfortunately, however, the bear had recently gotten into a relationship and was currently working hard to produce offspring. That was why Ma Tianyang was now facing this tragedy.
The Giant Devil Bear was number one in terms of both strength and combat abilities amongst all Category Four Black-tier demonic beasts.
With Ma Tianyang’s intermediate Black-tier technique, he would have a slight advantage against one bear. But in the face of two, he was far outnumbered.
The pair of bears, one male and one female, were almost similar in size. They pounced towards Ma Tianyang the moment they emerged from the cave. He only had time to warn everyone to run before the bears arrived next to him. One swiped at his waist with an arm several times larger than his body!
If he was caught, Ma Tianyang’s thin waist would snap in two!
Ma Tianyang let the Gold family’s young men and women leave first. As long as they had a head start, based on the bears’ speed, they would not be able to catch up to him, and he would be able to escape unscathed too. Unfortunately, the teenagers’ minds were too weak!
The Giant Devil Bear looked more fearsome than any beast they had ever seen before, so the moment they heard a hint of panic in Ma Tianyang’s voice, most of them were paralyzed with fear. One girl sobbed, while the rest felt their knees go weak. Only a few were sensible enough to run!
The bears had excellent hearing, so there was no way they would miss such a huge commotion. This was their territory, and they had been interrupted while they were in the middle of something good. They desperately needed to smash Ma Tianyang into a patty to vent their anger!
When they realized that there were others nearby, and that all of them were weaker than Ma Tianyang, one of the bears breathed raggedly and unleashed a violent roar before sprinting towards Long Chen. It arrived in front of them in the blink of an eye. A few of them hadn’t even begun to run!
“No!”
Ma Tianyang let out a furious roar and broke free from his opponent, sprinting as fast as he could over to the other bear.
However, due to the brief delay caused by his opponent, he had missed the window of opportunity. Even if he managed to run over in time, he would only arrive to corpses strewn on the ground.
Each Giant Devil Bear was strong enough to kill all the teenagers in one strike!
Seeing as it was impossible for them to run, Ma Tianyang’s eyes widened and he screamed, “Don’t run! Attack!”
As long as someone stepped up to block the first strike, Ma Tianyang would be able to arrive in time.
Although he didn’t really have much of a relationship with these people, they were all born into the Lingwu family and had parents at least at the Administrator level. If they died, not only would the Gold family severely weaken in the future, but he would also be killed!
As long as they could block one strike, Ma Tianyang could arrive in time. But what made him speechless was that everyone who was on the stronger side, at the late Human Core Realm, and had the strength to defend themselves against the bear, had already escaped! The remaining ones were the weakest few!
As long as the bear arrived and swiped with a paw, the teenagers would be reduced to pulp!
Ma Tianyang was already feeling hopeless when he imagined what would happen at the next moment. Squeezing every drop of strength out of his muscles, he sprinted as fast as he could!
They looked upwards as the gigantic shadow large enough to block out the skies approached, the thick scent of blood creeping into their nostrils. The few remaining prodigies were almost in tears, shaking badly. Their legs had given out and they had lost the ability to stand, much less the strength to fight. “I’m dead, I’m so dead ...”
Ma Tianyang lost all hope when he saw them.
While everyone despaired, someone suddenly slammed into the charging Giant Devil Bear, knocking it back a few steps. The person was also thrown more than ten meters back by the impact before stabilizing himself!
“Long Chen!”
When Ma Tianyang saw that Long Chen had stopped the bear, his despair turned to joy. He’d completely forgotten about Long Chen, and he had never expected him to be the one to attack at the critical moment to save the brats.
“Why isn’t he injured?”
Although Long Chen was dusty, everyone could see that he wasn’t injured. In fact, he was unscathed.
But Long Chen was privately cursing. That damn animal! I’m definitely no match for it without my Dragon Soul Transformation. I hit it directly with the Primordial Dragon Seal, but all it did was push it back a few steps.
The bear had also been pushed back more than ten meters. By now, Ma Tianyang finally arrived and stood in front of the two bears, also blocking in front of Long Chen.
The remaining teenagers had mentally prepared themselves to die, but when they saw that Long Chen had saved them at the last moment, their jaws dropped. Their faces turned red when they recalled how they had mocked and looked down on him.
With Ma Tianyang and Long Chen blocking the bears, they finally woke from their paralyzing fear and quickly ran off, hiding far away. They reunited with the ones who had previously escaped.
“What happened? Weren’t you guys going to be hit just now?”
The people who left first hadn’t seen Long Chen’s attack.
“It was that Turquoise guy ... He saved us ...”
“That’s impossible. He’s only at the Human Core Realm, how could he face a Category Four Black-tier Giant Devil Bear?”
“I think I saw that too, but I’m guessing that the bear is not a strong one. Brother Bei, Brother Dong, you two are late Human Core Realm cultivators. You guys can go fight the bear too. Don’t let that Turquoise brat steal the limelight!”
When one of the girls said this, the two taller teenagers puffed up instantly. But when they glanced at the terrifying bears, they deflated just as quickly. “Since the brat is so impatient to show off, we’ll let him have it this time. The Gold family is a huge, reputable family, so we must be generous.”
“Wow, Brother Dong! What you’re saying makes sense!”
Everyone started their ass-kissing once more, completely oblivious to how pathetic they looked.
On the other side, Ma Tianyang had finally blocked the Giant Devil Bears. Although he was shocked by Long Chen’s strength, it was still impossible for him to fight two Giant Devil Bears.
He immediately instructed, “Long Chen, please do me a favor and bring the brats back to the Human Core area. Once I shake these two bastards off, I’ll meet you guys again.”
He thought Long Chen would be obedient and leave, but Long Chen didn’t even move and said calmly, “Brother Ma, aren’t we here to see a Category Four Black-tier beast today? These Giant Devil Bears look like they will sell for a lot of money.”
Long Chen, whom he thought was trustworthy, had suddenly said something so wildly untrustworthy that it stunned Ma Tianyang. The bears attacked once more. “Quick, Long Chen! I can’t hold them off any longer ...”
As he spoke, he saw dense, red scales and sharp, bony spines emerging from Long Chen’s body. In the blink of an eye, they covered his body entirely, resulting in a complete transformation. It looked very cool.
Ma Tianyang gasped. “You’re a Beast Warrior?”
“Why don’t we have a competition to see who kills their enemy first?” Long Chen turned and grinned.
Ma Tianyang was left confused.
The rest of the teenagers were also stunned by Long Chen’s awesome getup. One of the girls’ eyes sparkled immediately, resting her chin on one hand as she sighed. “So handsome ...”
“Handsome? All it takes is one slap from the bear and all his scales will shatter,” scoffed the teenager known as Brother Bei.
“He’s a Beast Warrior, which means he wasn’t in his most powerful form just now. Brother Bei, do you think he’s stronger than you?”
Brother Bei thought for a long time, then he shook his head. “Although he is extraordinary and is considered a top prodigy in the Lingwu family, he’s likely still a bit weaker than I am.”
At this point, Long Chen and Ma Tianyang were already engaged in an intense battle with the bears.
Before Ma Tianyang could react to Long Chen’s challenge, Long Chen charged directly towards one of the Giant Devil Bears! “Primordial Dragon Seal!”
The blood-red dragon image smashed into the bear’s thick arm with a loud boom just as it swiped at him. When the two forces collided, the bear let out a furious roar and retreated. There was a wound on its arm caused by the Primordial Dragon Seal.
“Getting angrier, are we?” Long Chen smirked and used the Nine Heavens Dragon Step, quickly circling around the bear so he was behind it. A powerful demonic energy wave erupted from the Giant Devil Bear. In terms of attacking abilities, this bear was much more powerful than the average initial Earthly Core Realm cultivator.
Long Chen had successfully diverted the bear’s attention.
Has he cultivated the Nine Heavens Dragon Step already? He should be able to hold out for a while. It’ll use this chance to quickly finish off this bear and then help him!
After making this decision, Ma Tianyang fought the other Giant Devil Bear!
The rest of the teenagers watched the two battles with wide eyes. This scene was very similar to their original plan, though there was an extra person and bear involved.
“Why do I feel like that Turquoise brat’s fight is more impressive?” mumbled the girls.
Although they didn’t know how long Long Chen could last, at least they weren’t so averse to him anymore.
In fact, they were grateful. If it wasn’t for him, some of them would’ve been dead.
But when they recalled how they previously mocked Long Chen, they felt like they had been slapped across the face ...
This fight against the Giant Devil Bear was exactly what Long Chen wanted. This bear is extremely powerful. This is the perfect opponent to test the Blazing Thunder Combat Body on. Let’s see who is stronger!
