Chapter 127: Chapter 121: Dragon-Startling Peck
"This should be enough to deal with them."
Yu Changsheng rubbed his nose and said casually.
’Damn it, how is he acting so casual!’ Chen Chenchen felt a flicker of anger and immediately sneered,
"So arrogant. I was originally planning on holding back. Since you don’t know what’s good for you, I’ll have to teach you a proper lesson!"
"Lost Heart Dog! Bihuo Bird! Attack with everything you’ve got!"
"ROAR!"
As if sensing its master’s irritation, the Lost Heart Dog let out a furious roar and charged at the Red Refining Snake.
Although it was called a ’Dog,’ the Lost Heart Dog looked more like a rhino with a dog’s head. It was several times the size of an ordinary rhino, and most strikingly, a sharp, pitch-black horn protruded from its head, a terrifying sight.
Its thick limbs carried it across the platform with surprising speed. No one could doubt the astonishing power behind its charge.
In contrast, the Bihuo Bird was much smaller and more delicate. Its red tail was particularly eye-catching. Unlike ordinary birds, it had four legs in addition to its full wings. Its beak was long and slender, and rows of barbs glinted from within.
Facing two powerful opponents, the Red Refining Snake showed no fear. A human-like glint of contempt flashed in its serpentine eyes.
Without dodging or evading, it performed a Divine Snake tail whip, lashing out at the Lost Heart Dog. Simultaneously, it spat a blast of Poisonous Fire at the Bihuo Bird.
Seeing the Red Refining Snake’s arrogance, a fierce look crossed Chen Chenchen’s face. "Lost Heart Dog, no need to hold back! I’m allowing you to go all out! Use Heartless Crash!"
The Lost Heart Dog was innately violent. It was known for its insane, reckless actions. After using its Talent Divine Technique, it would lose all sense of pain and enter a frenzy even worse than a rabid dog—hence the name ’Lost Heart Dog’!
Streaks of black light swirled around the Lost Heart Dog’s horn, and its eyes became completely suffused with madness. With a wild howl, its already impressive speed increased even further, and a magnified, phantom image of its body materialized around it.
"BOOM!"
As its powerful hind legs pounded across the ground, a crack spread across the sturdy Beast Taming Platform, a testament to the immense force.
It charged at the Red Refining Snake with the force of a rhino, but with countless times more ferocity. Yet the Red Refining Snake didn’t dodge or evade, showing no intention of changing its path. Its thick tail swung out, covered in a blue, watery light. It cleverly avoided a direct clash with the Lost Heart Dog’s horn, instead striking from the side!
"Water Illusion Spirit Armor!"
"BAM!"
The moment they collided, the Lost Heart Dog faltered. Its previously unstoppable momentum vanished as if it had plunged into a swamp, half its power instantly negated!
The Water Illusion Spirit Armor was capable of nullifying most physical attacks!
In the next instant, the thick serpentine tail whipped out again, unleashing a force even greater than before!
BOOM!!! It was like a meteor striking the earth. Using the dog’s own momentum against it, the snake’s tail struck. Before Chen Chenchen’s disbelieving eyes, the Lost Heart Dog was sent flying like a kite with a snapped string. It tumbled through the air several times before crashing to the ground, knocked unconscious on the spot!
"How is that possible?!" Chen Chenchen cried out in shock.
He couldn’t believe it. It wasn’t just that the Red Refining Snake, a Fire Element Spirit Beast, had somehow used a Water Element Divine Technique. What shocked him even more was its physical power. With a single strike, it had taken the Lost Heart Dog out of the fight!
How could he have known that after consuming a Body Forging Pill, the Red Refining Snake’s physical strength was nearly on par with a Tier Two Spirit Beast?
Meanwhile, the Bihuo Bird flapped its wings, dodging the spray of Poisonous Fire. Its wings glinted silver like blades, and it unleashed a volley of Wind Blades down at the Red Refining Snake!
The Red Refining Snake completely ignored this level of attack. On Yu Changsheng’s command, it whipped its tail again, viciously striking the Lost Heart Dog’s shoulder to deliver a finishing blow and prevent any surprises.
"CRACK!!"
Even the Beast Taming Platform couldn’t withstand the heavy blow. The spot where the tail landed shattered, sending rubble flying. Fortunately, at the last second, Chen Chenchen hastily recalled his Spirit Beast, saving it from the attack.
This brief distraction was all the Bihuo Bird needed. Its long, slender beak began to glow with a blinding silver light as it frantically poured its Demon Power into the attack. With a mighty flap of its wings, a violent gale erupted!
"SCREECH!!"
Then, the Bihuo Bird plummeted from the sky. Its long, sharp beak led the charge, glowing with a cold light. With its wings closed, it looked like a world-shaking silver dragon, or perhaps a world-ending silver spear descending from the heavens. It broke through all resistance, a Sound Burst echoing as it aimed straight for the Red Refining Snake’s vital spot!
"Dragon-Startling Peck!!"
The attack was magnificent and seemingly unstoppable!
Even Yu Changsheng’s brow twitched. At the critical moment, with a wave of his hand, the Golden-Winged Eagle appeared instantly, positioning itself between the attacker and its target!
"Hardening!"
Like a clap of thunder, the Golden-Winged Eagle’s massive wing instantly became the perfect Shield. Bolstered by the eagle’s own enhanced, powerful physique, it seemed indestructible.
"ZZZT!"
This block was just enough to make the Bihuo Bird falter, giving the Red Refining Snake the time it needed to react!
The Red Refining Snake’s tail coiled and sprang off the platform, launching it into the sky like a sword. Without a moment’s hesitation, fierce Flame enveloped its body. It opened its cavernous maw, and a Sea of Fire surged forth, coalescing into a pillar of light that blasted toward the Bihuo Bird!
The Golden-Winged Eagle coordinated perfectly. Its tail feathers instantly transformed into a fish’s tail. A single flick was all it took to block the Bihuo Bird’s escape, leaving it unable to dodge the Red Refining Snake’s attack!
The Bihuo Bird was astonishingly fast; ordinarily, the Red Refining Snake would never be able to land a hit. This was why the coordination between the Golden-Winged Eagle and the Red Refining Snake was crucial!
"BAM!!!"
A streak of light plummeted onto the platform, kicking up clouds of dust. The Bihuo Bird lay bloodied, its wings broken!
"Bihuo Bird! AAAAAH!"
Chen Chenchen spat out a mouthful of blood, overwhelmed with grief and rage. The immense shock caused him to faint in front of everyone. The Bihuo Bird dissolved into a stream of light and returned to his Inner Realm.
Needless to say, Chen Chenchen had suffered a disastrous defeat.
"This..."
The referee at the side was also dumbfounded, looking on in a daze.
A moment later, the crowd below the platform erupted into discussion, with gasps of disbelief rising one after another.
The fight, from Yu Changsheng’s first move to its conclusion, had lasted no more than ten breaths. On the other platforms, the battles had just begun, but this one was already over?
The cratered and cracked platform spoke to the intensity of the battle.
"A... an instant kill?!"
"Unbelievable! What just happened? Didn’t it just start? How is it over already?"
"No way, I just blinked... That was Chen Chenchen! How did he lose so easily?"
In the crowd, Fang Cai Feng was also dumbfounded, his face a mask of utter disbelief, as if he’d seen a ghost.
"Referee, can you announce the results now?"
Recalling his Spirit Beasts, Yu Changsheng said coolly.
"Yu Changsheng wins!"
The crowd erupted in an uproar.
