Chapter 565: Chapter 565: The Cat Girl’s Debut

As the totem beast of the Evil Spirit Cult, Tengshe was naturally no ordinary creature.

Since ancient times, special-type mutated beasts had been extremely rare. Most of them lived deep in the mountains and forests or in places humans had never set foot in, leaving behind all kinds of strange legends.

Tengshe was one of those legends.

Tracing its history back, it could even be linked to the Yongli era of the Qian Dynasty, more than six hundred years ago. The famous "Yongli Disaster" had actually been caused by this very Tengshe.

Back then, the Demon Suppression Bureau had been much like the special forces today. It had sent hundreds of experts, including its commander, before finally managing to suppress Tengshe.

That battle nearly destroyed the Demon Suppression Bureau. Both the commander and deputy commander died as a result.

Later, the Qian Dynasty fell, and the stone tablet used to suppress Tengshe disappeared without a trace. The creature’s history seemed to end there. But only the upper ranks of the Evil Spirit Cult knew the truth: their first leader had secretly stolen the stone tablet.

That’s right. The first leader of the Evil Spirit Cult had actually been a member of the Qian Dynasty’s Demon Suppression Bureau.

After the Qian Dynasty fell, the leader’s original plan was to use the bureau’s former resources to gather forces opposed to the new dynasty and restore the glory of the Qian Dynasty.

At that time, the Evil Spirit Cult had not yet been called the Evil Spirit Cult. It had been known as the Holy Spirit Cult.

After several dozen generations of development, the former Holy Spirit Cult had long since forgotten its original purpose and become a cult bent on overthrowing the world. Fifty years ago, its forty-seventh leader had even changed the name from the Holy Spirit Cult to the Evil Spirit Cult.

That same year, the leader formed an alliance with sorcerers from the island nation’s Shinto religion. Working together from within and without, they attempted to invade Seaside City. The island nation sent sixty-seven people, including a high priest, while the Evil Spirit Cult sent ninety-eight. Together, they fought forty elite special-forces soldiers in a decisive battle in Seaside City.

In the end, the surprise attack failed.

Most of the Evil Spirit Cult’s upper ranks were killed, and nearly all of the island nation’s Shinto forces were wiped out. But thanks to Tengshe’s protection, the forty-seventh leader survived, and even killed two of the special forces’ elite soldiers.

That alone showed how terrifying Tengshe’s fighting power was!

In Xu Jie’s view, even special-type mutated beasts could be ranked from strongest to weakest. The Tengshe of their Evil Spirit Cult was undoubtedly at the very top. As for the little cat in front of him, although it was also a special-type mutated beast, compared with Tengshe, it was probably still,

Slash!

Before the thought had even fully formed, several deep claw marks appeared across Tengshe’s neck. Black-red blood sprayed into the air, and a miserable hiss escaped its mouth.

How was this possible?!

Xu Jie’s eyes widened again, his expression blank. Why? How could such a tiny cat possess such terrifying attack power?

"Well done!"

"Luoli is amazing!"

Cheers erupted from the special forces’ side. Under Li Yaran’s orders, none of them had rashly entered the battlefield between the two special-type mutated beasts.

"Damn it, this bastard really is a tough one." Unlike the excitement of her teammates, Qi Luoli, the one actually fighting, narrowed her eyes.

She had originally planned to use her Nine Yin Cat Claws to cut the other creature’s head off in one strike, but the giant snake’s defenses had clearly exceeded her expectations.

As expected of a creature from legend.

Whoosh!

Just as she was thinking this, a scarlet tail suddenly lashed toward her like a whip.

Qi Luoli leaped into the air and nimbly dodged it. But at that moment, a cloud of black-red mist suddenly enveloped her.

Her balance thrown off, Qi Luoli suddenly crashed to the ground. She lay there and began rolling wildly.

"Damn it, that stinks! How many years has this bastard gone without brushing its teeth?"

Oh no, this is bad! I’m going to throw up! I’m really going to puke!

"Luoli!" Seeing this, Ye Rong felt as if her heart were being torn apart. She was certain her little cat had been poisoned and immediately tried to rush into the battlefield.

But Li Yaran firmly grabbed her and stopped her.

"Don’t go. We can’t interfere in this situation!"

"Hmph. You’re not completely clueless, girl." Xu Jie stood behind the giant snake and let out a cold laugh. "That was Tengshe’s breath. It can even corrode solid steel. If a human touched even a trace of it, they’d turn into a puddle of sludge in an instant. Your special-type mutated beast may be a little more resistant than a human, but it should last five seconds at most! Hahahaha!"

The Evil Spirit Cult’s grand elder immediately felt confident again. In his mind, a kitten was still just a kitten. How could it possibly compare with the mighty Tengshe? Physical attacks were worthless. Once it encountered Tengshe’s special ability, it could only wait obediently for death!

Xu Jie laughed smugly. Ten seconds passed, yet the little cat was still rolling around. Another ten seconds passed, and the cat shakily got back on its feet.

Its expression and posture were both extremely strange. It must be about to melt into sludge...

But when Xu Jie’s thoughts reached that point, he froze again.

He saw light.

It wasn’t just him. Everyone in the underground plaza saw it. Countless rays of light burst from the little cat’s body. They were so bright that they made people dizzy.

When the light faded, what appeared before their eyes was a stunning girl with silver hair and a pair of cat ears. She wore a white shirt and a short plaid skirt, and her whole body seemed like an elf from a painting.

What... what was this?

Xu Jie was completely dumbfounded, his eyes wide open.

Li Yaran, Ye Rong, and the others were no better. They all stood there with their mouths hanging open, staring in shock.

Hmph. These ordinary humans really have been stunned by my beauty.

Seeing the dazed look on her beloved owner’s face, Qi Luoli wore a smug smile. But the smile quickly disappeared, and when she turned her gaze toward Tengshe, her eyes were filled with bone-chilling coldness.

"You’re Tengshe, huh, you piece of trash?" The girl’s delicate hand, soft as if it had no bones, rested on the sword at her waist. With a mocking laugh, she said, "Are you ready to die?"

Swish!

In an instant, the entire air seemed to freeze. A silver streak of cold light flashed through the air and vanished in the blink of an eye.

At some point, Qi Luoli had already appeared behind Tengshe. She slowly returned her sword to its sheath.

A human-like shock and fear appeared in its enormous eyes. A red line of blood slowly emerged at the center of its brow.

Then, with a heavy thud, blood burst out like a fountain.

The fifty-meter-long body split cleanly in two down the middle and collapsed heavily to the ground.
