Chapter 169
“Enough!
Da Huang … come back. Heaven Breaker, the Sha family’s two young masters and grand elder were all killed by me. If you want revenge, come at me! ”
Xiao Chen looked at the Lion King’s tragic state as tears streamed down his cheeks. He could not bear to watch any longer as he shouted for the Lion King to stop and return. At the same time, he placed the blame for killing the three people from the Sha family on himself. He wanted to attract Heaven Breaker’s killing intent to give the Lion King some time to catch his breath.
“Hahaha!”
After Heaven Breaker sent the Lion King flying once again, he dispelled the Desolate Power Armor and let out a mocking and hateful laugh. Following that, he retracted his smile and sneered at Xiao Chen, “Hehe, they were all killed by you?
Do you think I’m a three-year-old child?
My son’s throat was clearly bitten off by that beast!
Tonight, that beast and you will both die! ”
“Roar —”
As soon as Heaven Breaker’s words fell, the distant Lion King let out a mournful and terrifying roar, causing the space around it to tremble violently. Everyone nearby felt their hearts tremble and their eardrums feel as if they were about to burst.
Everyone looked in puzzlement at the corner where the Lion King had fallen. They saw an unbelievable and shocking scene. The Lion King’s body was burning with purple flames. Yes, it was a true purple flame and not a manifestation of Desolate Power. This was because the Lion King’s Desolate Power was fiery red and not purple. The purple flames were clearly burning and jumping, just like a flame.
“Ah?
What is the Lion King doing? ”
“That’s right. Why is its body enveloped in purple flames?
And why is its aura so powerful?
It’s actually several times stronger than before, maybe even ten times stronger! ”
“Could it have advanced to become a seventh-grade desolate beast?
How is that possible!?
It’s not that easy for a desolate beast to advance, right? ”
…
The spectating experts, including Killing Vanquisher and the other Purple Image Realm experts, were in an uproar. Their faces were filled with shock and disbelief. They did not know what had happened to the Lion King. They had never seen or heard of such a strange thing.
The current Lion King was too powerful. It was not on the same level as before. The difference in strength was too great. If the previous Lion King could make Killing Vanquisher and the other Purple Image Realm experts feel fear, then the current Lion King was enough to make them feel a deep sense of fear, and it was a fear that came from the bottom of their hearts.
“En?”
Killing Vanquisher’s attention was originally on Xiao Chen. When he heard the abnormal roar of the Lion King and the exclamation of the crowd, he couldn’t help but turn his head to look at the Lion King in confusion. With just a glance, his complexion suddenly changed and became incomparably gloomy. His eyes showed unprecedented fear.
Heaven Killing’s complexion was very unsightly as he stared at the extraordinary and incomparably cool Lion King for a while. After confirming that he was not mistaken, he murmured with incomparable fear: “I didn’t expect this beast to be so unafraid of death. It actually dares to burn its life energy in exchange for powerful strength. This method of burning its life energy in exchange for powerful strength can only be used by the royal or imperial family of the desolate beasts. It seems that the origin of this beast is not simple!”
“Burning its life energy in exchange for powerful strength?
There is actually such a magical and terrifying thing in this world! ”
Although Heaven Killing Vanquisher’s murmur wasn’t loud, it was clearly transmitted to the ears of Killing Vanquisher and the other Purple Image Realm experts. These Purple Image Realm experts were immediately startled. Although this was the first time they heard this sentence, they were all powerful martial artists. They could roughly understand the meaning of this sentence from the literal meaning.
They were all shocked. Xiao Chen naturally heard Heaven Killing Vanquisher’s murmur. His body’s potential erupted and he recovered some strength. He actually crawled up and staggered out of the Su Family’s gate. His eyes anxiously looked for the Lion King’s figure. When he saw the Lion King’s body burning with purple flames, he couldn’t help but roar: “Da Huang!
Quickly stop!
You will die like this!
I beg you! ”
“Roar!”
The reply to Xiao Chen was a Sky Shaking Lion’s Roar. The Lion King looked at Xiao Chen’s side with a little nostalgia. Then his four limbs madly stomped on the ground, causing dust and stone to fill the sky. His speed instantly increased to the limit as he turned into a shadow and rushed towards Heaven Killing Vanquisher.
“Heavens!
Such a terrifying speed! ”
Heaven Killing Vanquisher and the other Purple Image Realm experts had astounding eyesight, but they still couldn’t see the running Lion King clearly. They could only see a purple shadow floating in front of them, and they were appalled. They felt a deep fear towards the current Lion King. If the Lion King were to attack them, he would definitely be able to kill any one of them instantly.
Because of the Lion King’s speed, they couldn’t dodge it at all. In addition, the Lion King’s strength had increased tremendously, and his attack power had also increased tremendously. There was no doubt that he could instantly kill a Purple Image Realm expert.
When thinking about this, some of the more cowardly experts, like Ji Chenggong, started to retreat subconsciously. They only stopped after retreating several meters away. Their eyes were filled with fear as they looked at the shadow that was rushing towards Heaven Killing Vanquisher.
“This …”
When Heaven Killing Vanquisher saw the Lion King turning into a shadow and rushing towards him, his eyes protruded. His eyes were filled with even more fear towards the Lion King. He felt that the Lion King’s speed was actually three times faster than before. This speed made him feel a little fearful as even if he went berserk, he wouldn’t be able to reach this speed.
“Berserk Transformation!”
Heaven Killing Vanquisher did not hesitate to release the Berserk God Bestowment. Furthermore, he frantically retreated. This was because the release of the God Bestowment required more than a second. If he didn’t retreat, this amount of time was enough for the Lion King to approach him. When that happened, he would be in danger.
He regretted dispelling the Desolate Power Armor, but there was no medicine for regret in this world. He could only retreat, desperately retreating. This was because he felt that the Lion King’s combat strength was already equivalent to a seventh-grade desolate beast’s combat strength. It was enough to match a human Dragon Elephant Realm expert’s combat strength.
“Brother!
Can the Lion King defeat City Lord Killing? ”
When Liu Ruyue saw such a loyal and ferocious Lion King, she was moved to tears. Her face and eyes had an additional look of excitement and hope. She hoped that the Lion King could defeat Heaven Killing Vanquisher. Not killing Heaven Killing Vanquisher, but just defeating and chasing Heaven Killing Vanquisher would be enough.
When Liu Ruhu heard Liu Ruyue’s question, he stared intently at the retreating Heaven Killing Vanquisher, who was being chased by the Lion King. He, who was usually composed, had lost his composure as he excitedly replied,
“I don’t know, but I can tell you that the Lion King’s combat strength is now comparable to City Lord Killing after his berserk transformation. I just don’t know how long he can last by burning his life force. I believe he can last for a long time, right?
Once his life force is exhausted, it will be the end of the Lion King’s life. ”
“Ah … The Lion King, do your best!”
Liu Ruyue used her jade-like hand to cover her alluring red lips as she let out an exclamation. The excitement on her face was gone as she looked worriedly in the direction of the Lion King.
Love me, love my crow!
Liu Ruyue had fallen in love with Xiao Chen and naturally liked everything about Xiao Chen, including Xiao Chen’s Desolate Beast, the Lion King. The Lion King’s loyalty had deeply moved Liu Ruyue and stimulated Ruyue’s maternal instincts.
Su Qingyi strenuously helped her father, Su Diguo, into a room in the Su Clan. After letting Su Diguo rest on the bed, she quickly ran out of the Su Clan’s courtyard and came to Xiao Chen’s side. With tears in her eyes, she asked, “Xiao Chen, are you alright?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes didn’t look at Su Qingyi as he was still paying attention to the Lion King, Da Huang. However, he still spoke with gratitude, “Thank you, Su Clan, for everything you have done for me. Xiao Chen will engrave it in his heart. If I cannot repay it in this life, I will repay it in the next life.”
“There is no need to say all these. The Su Clan saved you to save themselves. Commander Su had no choice but to betray you. He did it to save Qingyi’s father …”
Su Qingyi looked at Xiao Chen’s resolute side profile and gently shook her head. She had a complicated expression as she explained the matter of Su Jianfei betraying Xiao Chen and hiding in the Su Clan’s secret chamber. She understood Xiao Chen’s personality very well. He would definitely repay kindness and enmity tenfold. She was afraid that this matter would leave a grudge in Xiao Chen’s heart.
“Young Lady Su, you don’t have to say anymore. I understand.”
Da Huang was currently burning his life force to fight the Sky Massacre. Xiao Chen didn’t have the mood to bother about such things. Thus, he impatiently interrupted Su Qingyi.
“Alright then.”
Su Qingyi could sense the impatience in Xiao Chen’s words and nodded with a grievance. She then looked towards the direction of the Lion King and was instantly attracted by the intense battle.
