Chapter 431 One Punch to End it All
Roar!!
The carriage shook suddenly, and a sharp claw appeared outside the crack, constantly smashing the roof, and the claws were extremely sharp and long. That was another beast, an eighth-rank Cutter Lizard.
The Cutter Lizard was a beast of the stone family that lived underground. With its sharp claws, a Cutter Lizard could even crush diamonds with ease.
The cabin was about to be ripped apart, even after being built with a special alloy, which in fact startled Ji Zhantang. He commanded one of his battle pets of the element family to stay with his granddaughter. The team leader had promised him that he would protect Ji Qiuyu, but he was still worried.
Following that, Ji Zhantang summoned three more battle pets. He ordered the pet that was a subspecies of the dragon family, the “Thunderhorn Dragon,” to summon bolts of lightning. He planned to push the beasts outside the cabin first.
Boom!
A ball of lightning came into being in the air and the dragon smashed the claws appearing near the crack with the ball of lightning.
Struck by lightning, the beast retracted its claws and let out low but angry bellows. Again, the beast smashed the cabin. The walls and roof began to sink in.
Due to the strong impact, people inside the cabin were having a hard time standing up. But the attendants were helping them so no one was injured.
“You, come here!”
Ji Qiuyu stood right next to her grandpa’s eighth-rank battle pet. In this chaos, she noticed that Su Ping was standing in the distance all by himself. She was angry that Su Ping was ungrateful but in this critical moment, she couldn’t allow herself to see him in danger.
Surprised by the call, Su Ping turned around and looked at her. He found it strange that the girl would be anxious and mad at him, but he was not in the mood to find out.
As he stared at the beasts that were attacking more and more ferociously, Su Ping made up his mind.
Bang!! All of a sudden, a wall was torn apart. The things that pierced the wall were some frightening black tentacles.
Su Ping saw the opening and then jumped outside right through the tear.
“You...”
Ji Qiuyu witnessed that. She turned pale.
In the distance, the old man in the black suit saw that as well. But he was sneering and gloating. Hmm, how stupid the young man was to run outside from the tear. The safest place was inside. The young man must think that the beasts wouldn’t notice him if he ran out in the chaos.
But usually, the first to run in panic was the first to be killed!
Whoosh!
Su Ping ran out from the tear and flew up to the roof of the carriage.
The underground tunnel was spacious enough to allow more than one train to travel at the same time. Several huge beasts with a length of over a dozen meters were crawling on the adjacent railroads. Some of the beasts were like centipedes, and some were like beetles.
The Lava Python that was spitting lava into the carriage was hanging down from the roof. Each of the Lava Python’s scales was the size of a
palm.
The eighth-rank Cutter Lizard was on the roof as well and was attacking through the tear, standing opposite Ji Zhantang.
Roar!
Su Ping heard a bellow.
He turned around. It was an eighth-rank Sickle Beetle which looked quite like a huge turtle. But the soft tentacles reaching out from its shell had sharp edges; the beast could inflict great harm with them.
“Rot in hell!”
A glint of coldness rose in his eyes. The moment the Sickle Beetle came at him, he punched straight at it.
He didn’t use the Fist of Exorcist because he worried that the move would make the tunnel collapse, which could then bury the train.
Even without the Fist of Exorcist, he could kill a titled rank beast with his bare hands since he had attained the first level of the Solar Bulwark!
Many tentacles that were as thick as barrels came over but they were all crushed into pieces by Su Ping’s punch. Those tentacles didn’t stop him; he landed a heavy punch on the head of the Sickle Beetle.
Pff!
The Sickle Beetle came to a sudden stop. In its blood-red eyes, the Sickle Beetle was showing its disbelief.
The next second, the Sickle Beetle exploded. The impact was so violent that it was as if tons of explosives were hiding inside the beast. Su Ping punched the Sickle Beetle into pieces. Its internal organs were flung to the walls and blood poured down!
He killed the Sickle Beetle with a single punch!
Su Ping turned around and furiously stared at the other beasts that were creating the disturbance.
He quickly strode toward them.
Roar!
Right then, the cabin he was standing on was broken into two parts. Ji Zhantang dashed out. He was sitting on the Thunderhorn Dragon, his major pet. The Thunderhorn Dragon was covered with electric arcs that had formed a layer of armor. The armor was also extended to Ji Zhantang
He and his pet were one. “What?”
Ji Zhantang was stunned to see that Su Ping was still here and alive. But this was not the time to think. “Go back. I will stop them,” he immediately shouted to Su Ping.
With that said, he turned around and began to give orders to another battle pet of the stone family.
Bang. A hole appeared on the wall of the tunnel. The pet of the stone family had created another passageway. “I will distract them!” Ji Zhantang shouted. Under his legs, the Thunderhorn Dragon suddenly generated many bolts of lightning that struck the beasts. After he successfully provoked the beasts, Ji Zhantang patted the Thunderhorn Dragon’s head. His pet dashed toward the passageway, trying to lure the beasts away.
Noticing his intention, Su Ping summoned his Purple Python at once. He wanted to finish the beasts as soon as possible. If all of them chased after Ji Zhantang, his battle pets might not be able to protect him.
Hiss!
The Purple Python came out from the swirl. The huge Purple Python that was over thirty meters long fell onto the roof, and due to its weight, the roof had caved in a bit.
The ones in the cabin were unable to see what was going on outside. They could only sense the vibrations and the incoming coldness. Even the average people could perceive the smell of blood seeping in from the crack in the cabin. They could tell that some beast was moving about on the roof.
The old man in the suit was frightened. He could tell that a huge one had arrived.
“Protect our young lady,” he said to the other two advanced battle pet warriors at once. Although nervous, the two promised to do so.
The old man in the suit dashed out from the tear.
In the meantime, on the roof, the Purple Python had begun to chase after the Lava Python. Although both were of the python family, the Lava Python had a better bloodline than the Purple Python!
After all, the Lava Python was an eighth-rank beast.
The Lava Python was unsettled that it could sense the presence of something of the same kind, and something that seemed a bit intimidating. The Lava Python gave up on going after Ji Zhantang. The Lava Python turned around, erected the upper half of its body, and hissed at the Purple Python. The Purple Python felt nothing. It had encountered too many beats of the legendary rank, not to mention a beast that was merely two ranks higher. The Purple Python could simply ignore this level of threat.
Whoosh!
The Purple Python wiggled quickly toward the Lava Python.
The Lava Python launched an attack and breathed out a highly destructive fire. Other eighth-rank beasts would usually want to avoid this fire because the burns would be hard to heal.
However, the Purple Python just threw itself into the sea of fire head-on.
The next second, the Purple Python had gone through the fire... Unharmed!
Hiss!
There was some coldness flickering in the Purple Python’s green eyes. The Purple Python opened its huge mouth and bit the Lava Python’s head.
The Purple Python tumbled around; its mouth was full, but it still managed to let out a roar. The struggling Lava Python stopped. Then, the Purple Python swallowed the Lava Python bit by bit.
The Lava Python was at the eighth-rank but was merely a dozen meters long, much shorter than the Purple Python which was still growing up.
The old man in the black suit had just come out from the cabin when, to his shock, he witnessed how the Purple Python swallowed the Lava Python.
As the other beasts sensed the formidable Purple Python, they came to a stop letting the old man who was striking them escape. Alerted, the beasts glared at the Purple Python. The beasts gradually began to move in closer. But they didn’t leave.
Su Ping watched as the beasts did so.
Ji Zhantang had returned from the passageway.
He was surprised to find that no beast was going after him so he had to return. Soon, he noticed the huge Purple Python that was curling up on the roof.
He had left for just a second and there was another one?
Was that even a Purple Python?
Ji Zhantang had extensive knowledge about pets. He had seen Purple Pythons before. Those were pets that had weak combat strength and were unable to master any elemental powers. But the Purple Pythons were cheap, so that was the poor man’s choice of pet.
But this Purple Python seemed unusual.
Usually, at the peak of the sixth rank, a Purple Python would be about a dozen meters long. This one was more than thirty meters long!
Two times as large as the usual Purple Pythons!
He noticed a red tail in the Purple Python’s mouth. Surprised, he looked around, only to see the Lava Python was gone.
The tail...
Did the Purple Python just eat up that Lava Python?
Cannibalism?
Ji Zhantang couldn’t understand this.
All of a sudden, the ground began to shake. The stone walls cracked. As a ferocious cry reached their ears; a black beast that was about twenty meters long crawled out. The beast was like a python but it was covered in sharp blades and a spike on its back.
Both Ji Zhantang and the old man in the suit gasped in fear. That was a ninth-rank Poison Claw Dragon!
A subspecies of dragons.
Subspecies of dragons had bloodlines of dragons. Even though beasts such as these were less powerful than dragons, they were much stronger than beasts of the element family of the same rank.
