Beast Taming: Bloodline Golden Hand-Chapter 673 - 443: Night Human Race, Ancestor Dragon Stone (Part 2)
Chang Teng completely lost patience, and upon hearing this shady phrase, his eyes filled with escalating killing intent.
He suddenly waved his hand, and several East Sakurans behind him simultaneously summoned their respective Spirit Beasts!
In an instant, lights flickered, and numerous ferocious Spirit Beasts appeared on the scene. Most were poisonous and ghostly birds adapted to dark environments, quickly surrounding Shi Zuo, Yang Lai, and others, with a chilling killing intent locking onto them.
Although Shi Zuo and Yang Lai fought valiantly with their summoned Spirit Beasts to resist, Chang Teng’s side was indeed more formidable.
Especially the monster python summoned by Chang Teng himself, covered with dark purple scales and sporting a single horn, whose fierce aura caused Shi Zuo’s beasts to retreat step by step, seemingly about to defeat them.
Chang Teng’s pupils emitted a cold light, clearly intending to kill Shi Zuo.
At this, Lee Zhen and Lin Chen exchanged a look and instantly understood each other’s meaning. Lee Zhen said, "Let me do it. If you strike, your features are too obvious..."
"Moreover, the Little Fox might just destroy the whole island."
"Alright."
Lin Chen nodded, not saying much.
The opponent’s Spirit Beast Level was eighty-five, unlikely to match Lee Zhen.
Just as murderous intent flooded Chang Teng’s eyes and the dark purple single-horned python opened its stinking giant mouth, enveloped in a cold poisonous mist, charging towards Shi Zuo at the critical moment.
"Buzz!"
A scorching and sacred aura erupted like a dormant volcano, instantly dispelling the surrounding cold and killing intent!
Lee Zhen stepped forward, his figure glowing with firelight.
The sleeves of his right arm swelled without wind, rustling vigorously, revealing skin beneath with fiery golden patterns like ignited lava veins, suddenly shining!
Bright red light soared upwards, illuminating the night scene as if dusk had arrived early.
An ancient and noble pressure spread, causing all Spirit Beasts present to instinctively tremble from the depths of their bloodlines!
Phoenix Arm, activate!
Lee Zhen shouted lowly, facing the charging python, he did not dodge; his right fist, burning with golden divine flames, struck out simply and directly!
No fancy moves, no complicated variations, only pure power and rank crushing.
In the python’s scarlet vertical pupils, fear appeared for the first time; it felt a predator-like aura emanating from the golden punch glow.
It wanted to instinctively retreat, but it was too late!
"Boom!!"
The golden punch glow clashed with the python’s poison mist and its hard-scaled head like a hot iron against snow!
The expected stalemate did not occur.
The poison mist capable of corroding metal evaporated instantly upon contact with the golden divine flames, making a "sizzle" sound, akin to boiling soup over snow.
Following that, the punch glow landed unhindered on the python’s head!
"Hiss-roar—!"
The python emitted a twisted, piercing wail as its unbreakable steel-like single horn snapped crisply under the punch glow, its dark purple scales shattering inch by inch.
The huge body was uncontrollably sent flying back like struck by a volcano and landed heavily several tens of meters away, creating a deep pit, dust flying.
It struggled to get up, but its body was surrounded by unextinguished strands of golden flames, scorching it in painful rolls, its aura instantly deflating completely, evidently losing combat power.
One punch!
Just one punch!
Chang Teng’s powerful Spirit Beast at Level eighty-five was unable to resist even for a moment against Lee Zhen!
The scene fell into dead silence.
......
All East Sakurans were frozen in place, their faces filled with disbelief and shock.
Chang Teng’s eyes shrank, fixedly staring at Lee Zhen’s intimidating right arm, his face becoming extremely ugly.
He could clearly sense that the power in that strike was far beyond comprehension, a fundamental suppression!
And he had no idea what it was.
"Cultivator?!" Chang Teng thought in shock.
"Want to continue?"
Lee Zhen withdrew his arm, looked calmly at Chang Teng, his tone indifferent yet carrying undeniable authority.
Chang Teng’s face turned ashen, his chest heaving violently.
He looked at the incapacitated python, then at Lee Zhen, whose aura was deep as the ocean, and Lin Chen beside him, who was calm throughout, ultimately squeezing out a few words: "Let’s go!"
He retrieved the wounded python, leading a group of frightened subordinates to flee swiftly into the shadowy forest, without leaving a single harsh word.
The crisis subsided, silence enveloped the camp, everyone’s eyes filled with shock directed towards Lee Zhen.
Shi Zuo clutched his chest, where blood surged during the oppression earlier, walked forward, took a deep breath, and respectfully saluted:
"Brother Lee...no, Senior! My gratitude is beyond words! Had you not acted today, I’m afraid I’d be doomed!"
Yang Lai and others also approached, their attitudes more respectful than before, even tinged with awe.
They now truly understood the unfathomable strength of these seemingly young "Medicine Gatherers."
Lee Zhen waved his hand, saying to Shi Zuo and others: "Just a trivial matter, no need to be polite."
Seeing that Lee Zhen considered it minor and did not reveal his origins, they did not inquire further, only expressing gratitude repeatedly.
Lin Chen, however, slightly frowned and turned to the still shaken Yang Lai, seriously asking:
"Brother Yang, may I ask if you indeed took their Ancestor Dragon Stone?"
Yang Lai responded immediately, swearing emphatically:
"Brother Chen Lin, Senior Lee, I, Yang Lai, swear on my family’s lives, we absolutely haven’t seen any Ancestor Dragon Stone!"
"If we had truly obtained such a rare treasure, we would have long sought ways to leave this island, why remain here in conflict with them?"
"Moreover...I don’t even know what the Ancestor Dragon Stone looks like."
"I also believe in Brother Yang’s character," said Shi Zuo. "His integrity surpasses mine, he would never engage in such sneaky acts."
Lin Chen didn’t comment on this but asked, "Are these all the members of the Human Race here at night?"
His remark woke those in a dream, and Shi Zuo immediately said:
"I don’t know, but likely not."
"We treasure hunters occasionally leave, while the night Human Race always stays here. Westward from here is the shady side, where the night Human Race frequently appears, it’s likely their base camp."
The group then went to treat and bandage their Spirit Beasts, Lin Chen glanced at Lee Zhen and said: "You held back earlier; hopefully we don’t provoke them again."
Lee Zhen nodded.
Indeed, he had held back; otherwise, that punch could have sent Chang Teng’s Spirit Beast to the underworld.
Lin Chen and Lee Zhen weren’t here to treasure hunt, but meant to rescue Little Blue Fish.
If not for the other party’s aggressiveness, Lin Chen and Lee Zhen would prefer not to intervene.
But Lin Chen felt uneasy inside.
The curse of the night Human Race, whether true or false, they certainly believe it true.
The Ancestor Dragon Stone is likely a remedy they acquired from somewhere.
If they believe this remedy true, they will stop at nothing.
.....
"What?!"
"Lost?!"
In a vast cave, an elder picked up his staff, poking it directly onto Chang Teng’s shoulder.
The force was immense, causing Chang Teng such pain that his body trembled; yet he knelt on the ground, not daring to retaliate, nor utter a sound of pain.
"Were those Cangling Ancient Country people responsible?" The elder’s voice turned cold.
The night Human Race had been seeking to lift this cursed burden and re-emerge into the world, with Chang Tian appointed two decades ago to find the Dragon Palace.
This Ancestor Dragon Stone was found only after the night Human Race expended nearly ten years.
Just upon arriving on the island, it was gone.
How could this not panic Chang Tian.
Chang Teng recounted today’s events entirely, leaving Chang Tian shocked: "Cultivator?"
"Yes," said Chang Teng. "Their strength is significant."
"Significant or not, the Ancestor Dragon Stone must be recovered..."
Chang Tian’s eyes widened as he said, "Even if we must kill everyone on this entire island!"
