Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 398 - 345: Turning the Tide, Golden Roc Wounded
Lei Yao was still honing his stick techniques, but what was initially an exchange of blows had turned into absolute suppression, clearly indicating that Lei Yao’s mastery of stick techniques had improved.
"Lei Yao, stop playing around, there’s a better sparring partner here," Chu Chen called out loudly.
Upon hearing this, Lei Yao swung his stick horizontally, sweeping three Star Beasts away. He hurriedly looked in the direction of Chu Chen and saw a monkey of a comparable size charging towards Chu Chen.
Lei Yao immediately got angry, and blood manipulation was instantly activated, forcing the three Star Beasts to divert some attention to resist.
Lei Yao immediately swung his stick at the heads of the three Star Beasts.
"Bang, bang, bang"
Three muffled sounds were heard, and the heads of those three Star Beasts exploded, leaving them undeniably dead.
Lei Yao rushed towards the Furious Demon Ape with the Ruyi Stick in hand.
He raised his stick and smashed, forcing the full-charge Furious Demon Ape to a halt.
The Furious Demon Ape stared intently at Lei Yao, the fury in its eyes almost tangible.
Lei Yao, seeing this, was unfazed and instantly unfolded his Three-Attribute Domain.
The range of the Blood Domain had reached an astonishing fifty feet, and such a vast Blood Domain was likely related to the Blood Ancestor Essence Blood.
The domains of lightning and beasts both reached twenty feet.
Unleashing his domain directly, Lei Yao clearly intended to hold nothing back.
Seeing this, the Furious Demon Ape also released its domain, with a Dark Domain approximately thirty feet in size.
Under the suppression of Lei Yao’s Triple Domain, the power of the Furious Demon Ape was weakened by at least thirty percent.
The Furious Demon Ape suffered a setback as soon as it engaged Lei Yao, as the power of the Ruyi Stick was formidable, and it was impossible to compete with sheer bodily strength without facing losses.
The Furious Demon Ape tried to distance itself to leverage its realm’s advantage and wear Lei Yao down to death.
But Lei Yao’s combat experience was extremely rich, and he wouldn’t give the opponent such a chance.
Lei Yao immediately closed in, even altering the stick techniques’ moves.
Previously, while fighting with the three Star Beasts, Lei Yao’s stick techniques were expansive and powerful. Each strike was heavy, but now his stick techniques were short, swift, and the attack angles were extremely tricky.
Each time the Furious Demon Ape attempted to use a skill, it would be hit with a stick, dispersing the dark element it had just gathered.
Throughout the battle, the Furious Demon Ape was extremely stifled. It couldn’t escape, couldn’t fight back, and could only let out powerless roars of rage.
Lei Yao, in contrast, found his stick techniques becoming faster, the force of his strikes growing stronger, and his attacks increasingly fluid.
The battle between the two beasts looked like a master of stick techniques brutally beating an ordinary person.
A quarter of an hour later, the battlefield in West City was left with only the Furious Demon Ape being thrashed, as the entire beast horde was slaughtered to emptiness.
By this time, the heart of the Furious Demon Ape was already filled with fear, and its combat showed many flaws.
Lei Yao, seeing this, lost the desire to continue battling, as the sparring partner’s worth had been exhausted; it was time to send it on its way.
Lei Yao’s attack angles became sharper, resembling a venomous snake ready to bite, and the force grew even stronger, each strike carrying nearly ten thousand pounds of force.
A few breaths later, the Furious Demon Ape’s body bore several bloody holes, its fists waving with a growl of extreme anger.
Its entire aura began to rise, clearly intending to fight to the death.
Seeing this, Lei Yao immediately deployed blood manipulation, sending several blood arrows as thick as adult arms spraying from the Furious Demon Ape’s wounds.
Lei Yao opened his mouth and swallowed, with the blood arrows turning into torrents pouring into his mouth.
The Furious Demon Ape’s talent was interrupted, its internal blood nearly drained, leaving its power greatly diminished. Even if Lei Yao stopped now, it likely wouldn’t survive for long.
Lei Yao raised his stick and thrust sharply, bursting the Furious Demon Ape’s heart.
Chu Chen observed this and continued to arrange the upcoming battle.
Lei Yao remained at the West City Gate, refining all the blood there. His realm had reached Late-Stage Third Rank at the Monarch Level, and by refining all the blood here, he was sure to break through to Fourth Rank at the Monarch Level.
As for the other four Star Beasts, they were led by Chu Chen to the North City battlefield.
The South City battlefield had Father Chu and others supporting, so there wouldn’t be any issues for the time being.
When Chu Chen arrived at the North City battlefield, he found that the City Defense Army had suffered more than half casualties; if they had been any later, the place would surely have fallen.
Chu Chen immediately found the commander here, and after giving some instructions, he directly led the four Guardian Beasts into battle.
The Defensive Army originally stationed here also immediately headed to support the Eastern City battlefield, where the situation was extremely critical. If it weren’t for Wang Haichuan’s delay, the beast horde might have already breached the defenses.
Nirvana directly commanded the Undead Army to charge into the beast horde, and the numerical advantage immediately became apparent.
The beast horde had just finished fighting the City Defense Army, reducing their numbers by nearly fifty percent. Now facing nearly ten thousand fearless Undead Army, they stood no chance of winning.
The Undead Army pressed forward, and the weaker Star Beasts were simply no match for them, leaving the Lord Level and above to be dealt with by Shadow Kill and its offspring.
Shadow Kill was exerting even more effort in this assassination, seemingly wanting to showcase the results of its cultivation over the past six months in front of its mother.
The Shadow Golden Mantis did not show any signs of yielding either, given the little one’s mere six months of age and incomparable combat experience to Shadow Kill.
For a moment, the numbers of Star Beasts killed by both sides were evenly matched.
The battle ended after just a quarter of an hour.
Chu Chen, leading Nirvana, rushed nonstop towards the southern battlefield.
At this moment, Lei Yao, who was refining blood in the Western City, suddenly let out a joyful roar, and its whole aura began to explode. In the blink of an eye, it broke through the bottleneck, reaching Monarch Level Fourth Rank.
After the breakthrough, Lei Yao did not meet up with Chu Chen but instead headed straight to the Northern Battlefield, intending to continue refining blood to enhance its power.
Of course, this was done under Chu Chen’s orders; otherwise, it wouldn’t act on its own.
When Chu Chen arrived at the southern battlefield, he found both sides evenly matched, and the battle had entered a fierce stage. The involvement of the Undead Army instantly gained an overwhelming advantage.
In just a moment, the battle was over, and Father Chu and others rushed nonstop towards the Eastern City battlefield.
Chu Chen did not immediately go to support the Eastern City battlefield. Instead, he took out some Elixir Pills to allow the beasts to recover quickly.
These three battlefields were just appetizers; the East City battlefield was the main battle.
Wang Haichuan and others, seeing the City Defense Army arriving to support them, showed signs of surprise. They knew their combat power very well, and holding on for a few hours was already the limit.
Now that they had support, could it be that they had already been overtaken, but seeing their excited expressions didn’t seem like they had lost?
Could it be that they had wiped out the beast horde completely, but how could that be possible?
Before Wang Haichuan and others could inquire, everyone ushered Father Chu out to report the situation.
Wang Haichuan and others, upon learning of the battle situation, were initially shocked but quickly turned to overwhelming joy.
This greatly boosted everyone’s confidence. As long as they held on for a moment longer, with Chu Chen’s arrival, the battle would surely be reversed.
At this point, Death Underworld Snake and the Tiger King also sensed something was amiss, and more City Defense soldiers began to break through.
The situation, originally overwhelming, was held back, creating a strange balance for a moment.
The Tiger King let out a roar, and the beast horde launched another charge, with even Death Underworld Snake joining the fray again.
Just after battling hundreds of rounds with Fire Feather Golden Eagle, its physical strength and Star Power were almost depleted, and it could only retreat to the back of the beast horde to rest.
Meanwhile, Fire Feather Golden Eagle’s situation was not much better, and without Wang Haichuan’s help, its condition might have been worse.
After all, Death Underworld Snake could devour souls to restore its consumption, and there was no shortage of souls here.
Wang Haichuan, seeing Death Underworld Snake charging over again, had no choice but to let Fire Feather Golden Eagle engage it in combat.
The battle between the two King Beasts was extremely fierce, and both sides were wounded.
As time passed, the two beasts became more frenzied, and their injuries gradually increased.
At this critical moment, the Tiger King, which had been commanding the battle, suddenly moved.
Its figure flickered and disappeared into the beast horde.
The City Defense Army’s leader saw this and immediately showed a look of panic, quickly ordering people to find the Tiger King’s trail.
If the Tiger King got close to the city walls, they would be powerless to stop it, and by then, the beast horde would charge directly into the city.
At this moment, after a direct hit between Death Underworld Snake and Fire Feather Golden Eagle, before Fire Feather Golden Eagle could stabilize, a black light shot straight towards its heart.
Everything happened too suddenly, and Fire Feather Golden Eagle had no time to dodge. It could only forcibly twist its body to barely avoid the critical point, but the black light struck squarely on Fire Feather Golden Eagle’s right-wing.
The attacker was the Tiger King hidden within the beast horde. Its actions deceived everyone; its target was not the city walls but the Fire Feather Golden Eagle battling Death Underworld Snake.
