Chapter 2197: Chapter 1916: Two Against One (Part 2)

Yuan Zhen and Qi Tian, or Mang Hen and the venom sac, they both want to fully control their beasts, making them obey their commands. However, their beasts harbor ulterior motives, wanting to break free from the contract and escape control.

"Beast, kill this boy for me!"

Yuan Zhen pointed at Song Yun, issuing a cruel command to Qi Tian.

"Roar!"

Qi Tian let out a primal roar, then pounded a fist toward Song Yun.

"Void-breaking Palm."

Song Yun waved a palm, and the True Energy Palm Shadow appeared from the void, intercepting Qi Tian’s fist, mutilating it with blood and gore.

But this time, Qi Tian merely trembled and managed to endure the strike without retreating.

However, enduring this blow caused greater injury than before, blood oozing from his mouth, clearly indicating internal damage.

"Roar!"

Qi Tian roared fiercely, rushing at Song Yun again, his fists continuing to barrage.

Under Yuan Zhen’s control, he disregarded Qi Tian’s physical limits or survival, focused solely on one goal—to kill Song Yun, regardless of the cost.

Of course, Qi Tian was the one paying that cost.

Qi Tian’s fist came closer to Song Yun, instantly reaching his face.

Void-breaking Palm seemed too late.

"Boy, you’re doomed."

Yuan Zhen’s eyes widened, filled with a sinister excitement. He didn’t believe a peak-level sss-grade human could withstand the blow once it landed on Song Yun.

Qi Tian’s punch was about to hit Song Yun, exciting the Python Spirit Clan spectators.

The alliance of the five clans, however, all showed worried expressions.

Lang Gu, who had been distracted by the battle, changed his expression drastically, rushing to rescue but was unfortunately tangled by Mang Hen, unable to escape.

At this moment, ninety-nine percent thought Song Yun was doomed.

Suddenly, swoosh, Song Yun’s long motionless right hand rapidly unsheathed a sword.

The crowd couldn’t discern the sword’s shape because a black shadow enveloped the blade entirely.

In an instant, the sword shadow swept past, nothing could withstand its passage.

Splatter.

The sword shadow sliced through Qi Tian’s fist, instantly severing the dark, hairy hand into two, blood splattering, fingers flying—pure brutality.

"Ah!"

Qi Tian cried out in agony, quickly veering to dodge the relentless sword shadow.

The sword shadow grazed Qi Tian’s side; even a slight touch peeled his flesh, revealing white ribs, blood flowing endlessly.

The sword shadow sped into the distance, the crowd hurriedly dodging.

Nevertheless, two early-stage sss-grade Python Spirit Clan members failed to evade in time, blasted by the sword shadow into a blood mist.

The sword shadow’s formidable power astonished everyone.

The crowd eyed Song Yun, gazing at the Black Light Sword in his hand.

"This boy actually possesses a magic artifact, and it’s so powerful!"

Yuan Zhen’s expression grew serious. If Qi Tian hadn’t dodged in time, he had no doubt the sword shadow would have split Qi Tian’s chest open.

His eyes turned, spotting Gui Shou in the distance, and shouted, "Gui Shou, why are you still hiding? Quickly strike, this outsider is not easy to deal with."

Up until now, Gui Shou hadn’t summoned his beast to fight. Yuan Zhen had long suspected the contracted beast "Iron Armor" had also advanced to Foundation Establishment.

Indeed, upon hearing his words, Gui Shou brushed his two whiskers, grinned mischievously, and moved towards Yuan Zhen.

At the same time, a shadow rapidly approached the battlefield’s outskirts.

Once it was closer, the crowd focused and realized it was an enormous turtle, as large as a car.

In their minds, turtles should be slow, but this turtle defied that notion, swiftly reaching Gui Shou’s side.

The turtle shell was jet-black, its limbs robust and short, claws sharp and keen, tail sporting a barbed hook, exuding a majestic, powerful presence.

"Foundation Establishment Beasts!"

Someone exclaimed in surprise.

Everyone was astonished, as if three Foundation Establishment Beasts weren’t enough, yet a fourth appeared.

Since when did Foundation Establishment Beasts become so common?

Mang Hen saw the scene from afar, so angry that he was seething with rage.

He had considered Gui Shou and Yuan Zhen as his underlings, but who would have thought these two could actually possess Foundation Establishment Beasts, making him feel quite unbalanced.

What infuriated him more was that these two bastards, despite being so powerful, had been merely watching earlier.

If they had acted in time, this war might have already been resolved.

Mang Hen cursed out loud: "Gui Shou, you bastard, you’re hiding too deeply, even from me."

Although Gui Shou belonged to the Turtle Spirit Clan and had some ties to turtles, being called a bastard still made him very unhappy.

The smile on his face faded as he leapt onto the back of "Iron Armor" and shouted toward Mang Hen: "Mang Hen, don’t overestimate yourself. I used to yield to you, do you really think you’re the boss? Hmph! Sorry, the dark red aura absorbed by ’Qi Tian’ and ’Venom Sac’ was also absorbed a bit by my Iron Armor, advancing to Foundation Establishment. Good luck is not exclusive to you."

Revealing his true strength, Gui Shou stood with a straight back, showing no deference to Mang Hen.

Mang Hen never expected Gui Shou, who had treated him with respect earlier, would have such an attitude now, making him seethe with anger.

"Once this is settled, I’ll make sure you both pay."

Mang Hen’s face was dark. If he wasn’t busy dealing with Lang Gu, he’d want to go over and give Gui Shou a beating.

"The dark red aura, could it be demon energy?"

Hearing Gui Shou’s words, Song Yun felt a spark of realization, thinking of the demon energy released by the Ten Thousand Demon Order.

After a brief consideration, he concluded that the dark red aura Gui Shou mentioned was indeed demon energy.

"No wonder their beasts advanced to Foundation Establishment; they absorbed demon energy. It seems that when the Demon Suppression Tower broke and the Ten Thousand Demon Order was released, a small amount of demon energy leaked from the Daxia Ruins. These three beasts were quite lucky, having absorbed this demon energy."

Song Yun thought to himself, his gaze falling on the mutant turtle called "Iron Armor" under Gui Shou’s feet.

This turtle wasn’t clumsy or cute at all; its eyes were filled with ferocity, its whole body as black as if it had emerged from Hell.

"Gui Shou, let’s join forces to take out this guy and snatch his black broken sword."

Yuan Zhen shouted to Gui Shou, his eyes filled with anger.

Qi Tian had a hand chopped off, drastically affecting his future combat power, making Yuan Zhen extremely resentful toward Song Yun.

"No problem, kill this person, and the sword is mine, the rest is yours." Gui Shou agreed with Yuan Zhen, not bothering to see if Yuan Zhen accepted his proposal. He leaped toward Song Yun, shouting: "Fourth-stage Beast Technique: Shadow Shield."

He slapped his hands on Iron Armor’s shell, releasing True Qi that condensed on Iron Armor’s body surface, as if enveloping it with an invisible defensive shield.

Then, he jumped off Iron Armor’s back, landing back on the ground.

"Iron Armor" leaped into the air, limbs, head, and tail all tucked into its shell. Under the cover of True Qi, it transformed into a missile, crashing down toward Song Yun.

Swish.

Song Yun swung his sword, releasing a black Sword Qi, heading toward Iron Armor.

Bang boom.

The True Qi defense on Iron Armor’s shell shimmered, an invisible force reinforcing the shield, stabilizing the defense as the black Sword Qi shattered.

"Such strong defense!"

Song Yun raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of surprise.

The Black Light Sword Qi could easily kill early-stage Foundation Establishment Qi Tian, but it hadn’t been very effective against Iron Armor.

Truly, as expected of a turtle, defense was its greatest trait.

Seeing Iron Armor coming at him, Song Yun moved his body, dodging to the side.

Bang boom.

"Iron Armor" slammed into the ground, really like a missile, blasting rocks and sending smoke swirling.

The crowd hadn’t yet recovered when suddenly "Iron Armor" shot out of the smoke again, descending toward Song Yun who had dodged away.

"Fourth-stage Beast Technique: Heavens’ Crash!"

At the same time, Yuan Zhen also attacked, using a fourth-stage beast technique against Song Yun.
