Reborn Heiress: Seeking Revenge-Chapter 465 Side by Side in Battle (1)_1
"Swallow it," Shangguan You said, already swinging a handful of powder into the air. Large numbers of Vultures plummeted. Zhuge Feng glanced at the Medicinal Pill in his hand, his certainty growing that this person was indeed Shangguan You.
"Okay, I’ll join you." Zhuge Feng swallowed the Medicinal Pill and stood shoulder-to-shoulder with Shangguan You. Zhuge Feng glanced at Zhuge Feng, then at Ye Sanshao, and also swallowed the Medicinal Pill in his hand. Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei exchanged glances and did the same. Li Zhaolei, seeing that everyone else had taken one, followed suit. After all, their survival was uncertain. In the current situation, Elder Meihua probably wouldn’t harm them.
Shangguan You soared into the sky, with Ye Sanshao and Zhuge Feng flanking her. From above, the Vultures attacked like a swarm of hornets, their sharp beaks screeching. Besides the Vultures, there were also bats.
Just as they surged into the sky, the ground where they had stood moments before was instantly flattened by the beast horde. The animal corpses on the ground were trampled into a pulp. Continuous HOWLS echoed, initially urgent, but gradually slowing and softening, as if someone nearby was commanding the beasts. The frenzied beast horde gradually stopped. They stood still, all stretching their necks to look at the seven people suspended in mid-air.
In mid-air, the seven formed a circle and unleashed sweeping palm strikes. The dark shapes of Vultures and bats scattered to the ground. As soon as they landed, they were devoured by other beasts or trampled into pulp. "All of you, back off!" Shangguan You snorted coldly, watching the sky fill with more and more birds. With a slight flick of her hands, she signaled for everyone to retreat.
"Ice Seal," Shangguan You called out lightly. A pale blue water element rapidly spread out at a visible speed. The surrounding birds began to freeze, slowly turning into ice sculptures, creating a white, snowy world in mid-air.
Shangguan You was momentarily stunned. I thought my Ice Seal could cover a few miles at most. But now, as far as I can see, there’s nothing but ice and snow. It seemed that after reaching level 5, the elemental power within her body had become much stronger. Thinking of this, a smile touched Shangguan You’s lips as she softly uttered, "Break Seal."
CRACKLE! CRACKLE! The sounds echoed continuously. The ice-sculpted birds visibly shattered into tiny fragments at a rapid pace. All the birds that had been circling the seven people disintegrated in an instant, falling to the ground.
The once dark night sky cleared up again, allowing the sparkling stars to be seen clearly.
Ye Sanshao and Zhuge Feng stood close by Shangguan You’s sides, admiring her display of skill. Zhuge Feng wore an expression of pleasant surprise, while Ye Sanshao’s eyes shone with dazzling admiration. His girl is truly formidable.
She looked incredibly cool, no matter the angle. Ye Sanshao also felt happy for Shangguan You. He could clearly sense that after her narrow escape from death, the Spiritual Energy around her had become even more abundant. The same moves now packed significantly more power.
Shangguan You looked at the cleared space around them and couldn’t help but take a long deep breath. Though the air was still tainted with the smell of blood, it was much better than the oppressive atmosphere from before.
Zhuge Feng’s sharp eyes swept over Shangguan You, who was clad in black. A trace of confusion flickered in his gaze. With my level of cultivation, I can’t even sense her abilities. It’s truly as the rumors say: unfathomably deep. Such a person can only be a friend, not an enemy. Zhuge Feng rapidly came to this conclusion. His heart filled with admiration for Shangguan You’s display of skill. Both Bai Muxue and Fang Jianfei also harbored deep wariness towards her.
"ROAR... ROAR..." Before the group could ponder further, the beasts below howled even more intensely. Their long cries buzzed in everyone’s ears.
These beasts seem to be under someone’s control. If there’s a Beast Tamer in Hidden World Village, that would explain why they’re all gathered together, Shangguan You thought, then asked Ye Sanshao, who was beside her, "Is there a Beast Tamer among us?"
"Hahaha, I truly didn’t expect that after being trapped here for decades, someone still recognizes me. Very good, very good." A sharp, sinister laugh echoed. The previously agitated beasts suddenly quieted down. A path automatically cleared through the dark mass of beasts.
A large lion, carrying a small, skinny old man on its back, strode forward swaggeringly.
"ROAR!" The lion opened its great mouth and let out a loud roar as it reached the center. Sitting atop it was the skinny old man. He had several teeth missing and a pale, sparse beard. Clad in beast skin and barefoot, he was so thin a gust of wind could blow him over. He appeared to be in his eighties or nineties, a man with one foot already in the grave.
"Who are you?" Zhuge Feng asked coldly. To think such a capable person existed in the mountains behind the five families. If I hadn’t come tonight, I truly would have remained oblivious.
"Hahaha, I have been imprisoned here for decades! To think I would now see Young Masters from the four major families, plus a Family Head. So many of you joining me in death is truly a bargain, hehehe."
The old man’s sharp laughter carried a chilling coldness that sent shivers down their spines.
"Who exactly are you?" Zhuge Feng demanded, his brow furrowing as he looked down at the old man below. Since he can command thousands of beasts, he must be a Beast Tamer. However, there are no Superpower Users who are Beast Tamers in Hidden World Village. So why would one suddenly appear from the mountain behind them?
"Hahaha, the Family Head of the Zhuge Family doesn’t recognize me? I have been imprisoned by you for decades. There’s nothing here but animals, which have indeed become quite numerous. My being here is all thanks to you. If you hadn’t feared me and imprisoned me here, hmph! If you hadn’t imprisoned me here, your five major families would have vanished from this Hidden World Village long ago! From then on, Hidden World Village would only have one Beast Tamer."
"Hahaha, I may not have many other skills, but I do have a knack for beast taming. You thought I would surely die here, but surprise, I’m still very much alive! And those who entered for training? Every single one of them died at my hands. Though I can’t leave, killing a few people is quite satisfying. Especially tonight, with four Young Masters and a Family Head, none of you shall leave alive!"
