Astral Pet Store

Chapter 664 Charge!

Su Ping looked like a devil while covered in bones. He moved forward without hesitation.

Whoosh!

Su Ping vanished on the spot. He was only a thousand meters away from the mountain-like beast king when he reappeared.

The massive beast king turned around, making the ground tremble. A pair of red eyes opened from within the vines; the beast king fixed its glare on Su Ping.

It had left that place for only a minute, but the situation had gone through a drastic change. The many beast kings that had attacked had either died or were wounded!

That was unacceptable!

“Help...” Suddenly, there came a weak call for help. The legendary battle pet warriors who were dangling in the air were still breathing. Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Many legendary battle pet warriors hurried over to where Su Ping was.

They had previously been unable to catch up with Su Ping as he was dashing around. That beast king was the one leading the beast strike; they were worried that something could go wrong on Su Ping’s side if he were to deal with that beast king on his own.

They knew full well that they would never win once Su Ping was defeated.

They would lose all the advantages that they had just won if something happened to him.

“Sir!”

“Mr. Su!”

“We’re here to help. Tell us what you need us to do.”

The legendary battle pet warriors, including Venerable the Blade, stood behind Su Ping. They were ready to receive his orders.

Su Ping was more than qualified and capable enough to lead them.

“Is that Lord Nie? He’s still alive!”

“Great. Save Lord Nie and we will have better odds at winning!”

The legendary battle pet warriors were gladly surprised to see that Lord Nie was still alive.

But Venerable the Blade didn’t propose nor supported such a plan. He just gazed at Su Ping. He knew very well why Lord Nie and the others had disappeared.

They could have worked together to defeat that terrifying beast king if they hadn’t escaped and waited for Su Ping to arrive.

Many people would have been spared from dying.

After all, the withdrawal of several legendary battle pet warriors had created quite a fair deal of trouble for the other battle pet warriors. Many had died or were injured in a matter of minutes.

“They’re beyond saving.”

Su Ping darted a glance and said calmly, “The beast king is absorbing their astral powers; their bones and organs would be ripped away if we tried to pull them free. On the other hand, staying there would only nourish the beast king.” The other legendary battle pet warriors fixed their gazes on the beast king while openly surprised.

They realized that Su Ping was telling the truth.

The vines wrapped around Lord Nie and the others weren’t made of hairs, but more like flesh and blood. There were finger-thick vine branches that had pierced into their bodies.

Lord Nie appeared to be much skinnier than before. The legendary battle pet warriors standing with Su Ping felt overwhelmed by the outlook.

Lord Nie was at the Void State!

It was a shame that such a legendary battle pet warrior couldn’t be saved! “Sir, what should we do?”

“Sir, what do you think?”

The legendary battle pet warriors asked Su Ping anxiously.

Su Ping answered calmly, “It’s easy. We kill them so that they can no longer provide energy to the beast king. That will lessen our burden.”

The legendary battle pet warriors were stunned speechless.

That wasn’t what they were talking about!

They were asking how they could save Lord Nie and the others!

“Sir, we would have to face this beast king by ourselves if we killed them...” a legendary battle pet warrior expressed his concern. Time was pressing. They had to make a decision.

“It’s okay. I’m just glad they won’t be able to distract us,” Su Ping said, “They also won’t be wasted, either. You’ve seen that my battle pet can enslave the dead. When they die, my battle pet can enslave them and they would still be able to fight.”

The legendary battle pet warriors looked at each other in speechless despair.

They somehow felt Su Ping was smiling.

Was it an illusion?

How on earth could he smile when this beast king was there?

If it weren’t for the fact that Su Ping had just made a great contribution by turning the tables, they would have never thought that Su Ping was doing that on purpose.

They thought at first that Su Ping was trying to find more puppets for his battle pet.

Venerable the Blade curled his lips. He knew that it was best not to offend that guy. Revenge is a dish best served hot!

Wasn’t it ‘served cold’?

No one would want to eat a cold dish!

“Su Ping, what, what are you talking about!!” someone shouted.

In the distance, Lord Nie and the others had overheard the conversation. They were all legendary battle pet warriors and were able to hear across that distance, even though they were on their deathbeds.

Those people were barely clinging to their lives.

Then, when they heard Su Ping’s words, it was as if they had just gotten a momentary surge of vitality.

They had been so scared since there was nothing they could do.

They could be saved but Su Ping was claiming that they should be killed?

They were legendary battle pet warriors! “Oh? I see that you know my name.”

Su Ping raised his eyebrows and chuckled.

They had researched him. Targeting the Longjiang Base City was targeting him. “We will remember your contributions. Go ahead and kill yourselves. Rest in peace considering it would be helpful for us,” Su Ping said.

Lord Nie was so angry that he was going to cough out blood. He filed his teeth and widened his eyes.

There were some things he could not say out loud. Su Ping was getting personal to get back at him because of Longjiang Base City.

There was a mutual understanding.

“You cannot kill me, I can save myself. I am at the Void State; I have a vision and abilities you cannot imagine. You’ll just have to distract the beast king for us,” Lord Nie suggested.

He knew that begging would not work with Su Ping.

Those able to reach the legendary rank had a strong will that would not yield to begging.

He was saying those things to dissuade Su Ping into not killing him. Of course, he couldn’t save himself at the moment, but he would rather die in the hands of the beast king than of Su Ping’s.

Also, Lord Nie thought he would find a chance to get away once Su Ping was fully focused on fighting the wild beast.

He had to create a chance.

The beast king did nothing other than stare at Su Ping coldly while the humans talked. It was waiting for something. Or, it was a confrontation of sorts.

“Hmm...”

Su Ping chuckled.

He wouldn’t have been able to do it if he were a person who cherished his reputation.

But...

He didn’t care about the Tower’s reputation.

Of course, he wouldn’t allow for Lord Nie’s trick to work.

“You’re talking about the vision and abilities that someone at the Void State has. You wouldn’t have had to wait for us to save you if you did have them, not to mention the fact that you cannot even save yourself. You’re just nurturing the beast king at this point. You’re so scared of death, you don’t even look like a legendary battle pet warrior. Given those circumstances, we can only help you end your life!”

Su Ping continued calmly, “Guys, join me. We’ll have an even bigger problem if we let the beast king take more of their astral powers!”

The other legendary battle pet warriors felt their hearts skipped a beat.

As they looked at Su Ping and the trapped Lord Nie, they didn’t doubt that the former was better than the latter in every way.

They even felt Lord Nie had been too arrogant, to suddenly talk about vision and abilities to Su Ping! They could not afford to let the tables turn again. None of them would survive id Su Ping was defeated!

“Got it!”

“We will follow your lead. Lord Nie has made many contributions in his life. We will send him off to an honorable end.”

“That is correct.”

The legendary battle pet warriors soon made their decisions.

Lord Nie almost was angered to death.

Honorable end?!

Nothing would be honorable once he reached the end!

“Su Ping, I am sorry. I was as blind as a bat and offended you. You have my sincere apologies. I’ll agree to all your conditions if you can let bygones be bygones. Please!”

Lord Nie could not help but begin to beg. He knew he would die if he carried on his dignified ways.

The only hope of survival was on Su Ping. Implications would no longer work; Lord Nie had to put everything on the table.

“You’re sorry? Why are you sorry? I don’t think I know you.” Su Ping sounded “surprised.” Lord Nie squeezed out his answer. “It was me who decided to exclude the Longjiang Base City. You don’t know me but the one you killed at the Tower was my buddy. I simply could not take it. I’m sorry. I have been at the legendary rank for three hundred years and collected many treasures and coins during this time. I can give you everything!” The other legendary battle pet warriors looked at Su Ping. It was only then that they learned about their feud. They began to wonder if there were other reasons for Su Ping to decide not to save Lord Nie.

Maybe there was a chance of survival for Lord Nie after all, the legendary battle pet warriors thought.

Su Ping grinned after he heard Lord Nie say his piece. “Do it.”

Wait, what??

The legendary battle pet warriors were surprised.

Do it?

No more arguments?

Lord Nie has apologized but Su Ping still wants to kill him?

“What? You’re doubting my decision? This is nothing personal.” Su Ping snorted. The other people remained silent.

They had to rely on Su Ping.

Besides, hearing what Lord Nie had confessed, they believed that he was indeed a sinner!

Humans were at a critical time and they had to fight against the Deep Caves together. But Lord Nie was still thinking about internal strife. He was despicable!

Su Ping paid no regard to what the legendary battle pet warriors were thinking. He gazed at the mountain-like beast king. Su Ping had been observing the beast king during the conversation; the two were feeling each other out.

He felt that the beast king was somewhat like the Otherworld Heavenly King.

But, he was no longer as he was back then.

He had merely been at the seventh rank when he fought the Heavenly King. Right then, he was at the peak of the ninth rank!

Finish it!

Su Ping’s killing intent was rising.

Roar!!

The mountain-like beast king felt the change in Su Ping and let out a yell. Over ten walls that were more than one hundred meters tall came rushing toward Su Ping.

In the meantime, space around Su Ping had been tampered with to prevent him from teleporting. “Get out of here!” Su Ping shouted. He stepped forward and punched out.

The walls collapsed; a huge cloud of dust rose. Su Ping emerged from the cloud of dust, carrying the sword. Slash!

Su Ping wielded his sword.

The ray of sword light cut open the air and reached the mountain-like beast king. Lord Nie and those dangling in the air were appalled.

Su Ping’s abilities were beyond their imagination; they had underestimated Su Ping. They then learned what death felt like as the ray of sword light reached them. They could not survive that!

The onlooking legendary battle pet warriors were more regretful. They shouldn’t have followed Lord Nie; he had royally messed up and they had to suffer for it!

Sometimes, that was how it worked with parties and gangs. If you found a good group, you would live comfortable lives, but once you barked at the wrong tree, you would be doomed!

Boom!

There was a sound blast that stopped the ray of sword light.

The mountain-like beast king was furious. It shouted and the ground was shaking. The vines were dancing around; some dark marks were appearing in the air.

Lord Nie and the others soon dried up.

“Hel...” they shouted but their voices were becoming so hoarse they were no longer able to utter a sound.

Lord Nie wasn’t doing any better.

He was as weak as an insect when compared to the mountain-like beast king.

He was completely unable to fight back.

Su Ping didn’t pay any attention to their plight; Lord Nie and the other legendary battle pet warriors couldn’t be saved. He would only make sure to remind the Little Skeleton to make use of those corpses.

A good training partner.

Su Ping didn’t intend to kill the beast king right away. There were some things he wanted to try out.

Rules of thunder!

Bolts of lightning danced around in Su Ping’s hand; their energy was offending to the eyes. Su Ping was thinking about Heaven’s Test. “Punishment by lightning!!” The bolts of lightning in Su Ping’s hands dashed to the sky, sucking in all the turbulent energy. They grew in size before they crashed down.

The entire battleground was lit up by the bolts of lightning. Even those at the other side of the base city could see them.

The mountain-like beast king bellowed. Its four limbs took root in the ground and many dirt walls rose quickly. The walls formed a huge hand that reached toward the bolts of lightning

Boom!!

The ground quaked as the hand conducted the bolt of lightning into the ground.
