Astral Pet Store (WN)

“Mr. Su!”

The three titled battle pet warriors approached Su Ping. The man who reached him first said in a hurry, “Mr. Su, think twice, please. There are so many people here. You could hurt innocent people if you did fight. Besides, Lady Yan Bingyue is from that place…” “Right. Mr. Su, Lady Yan’s background is not something you can imagine. I don’t think I have to lie to you at this point. Lady Yan is from the ‘Star Organization’,” the other titled battle pet warrior mentioned.

“He’s right.”

An older man nodded and said to Su Ping seriously, “If you insist on taking action right here, right now, we would have to intervene. Mr. Su, please, listen to me. Just stop here. I will find some time and invite you all to a meeting. We can sit down and talk it over.”

“Sit down and talk it over?”

Su Ping gazed at the three one by one. “I advise that you don’t meddle. Location has never mattered to me when I’m about to kill someone. On the other hand, you would have to shoulder the consequences if you try to stop me!”

The three titled battle pet warriors were scared by the glint of coldness in Su Ping’s eyes.

They could tell that Su Ping had made up his mind!

“Mr. Su!”

A glint of astonishment and anger rose in the older man’s eyes. He unleashed his astral powers. He was at the upper position of the titled rank!

His overwhelming energy was spread across the entire stage in an instant. Even the audience felt suffocated. The hunchbacked older man seemed to have grown so tall that people would have to raise their heads to look at him.

“Mr. Su, since you refuse to listen to reason, then don’t blame me for intervening!”

With a grave look, the older man opened up many swirls behind his back. From them stepped out many towering battle pets, some were of the element family, some were of the demon family and some were dragons. In total, there were seven battle pets!

The weakest of the seven pets was at the intermediate position of the ninth rank!

Most of the pets were at the upper position of the ninth rank!

Two of them were even at the peak of the ninth rank!

To make it more intimidating, one of the two was a dragon, an overlord of all pets at the peak of the ninth rank!

It was a Crystalline Frostbite Dragon!

The Crystalline Frostbite Dragons had a ninth rank bloodline. This one had grown to its prime state, the peak of the ninth-rank!

It was an adult dragon, with an imposing build and a height of over thirty meters. Its wingspan went beyond the hundred meter mark, it could cover a quarter of the stage!

Compared to the peak-state Crystalline Frostbite Dragon, the Inferno Dragon, which was merely over a dozen meters tall, seemed like a dwarf, a baby.

The seven battle pets had already taken up the entire stage just by standing there given their sheer sizes. There wasn’t even enough space for a fight.

That was the overwhelming power displayed by a battle pet warrior at the upper position of the titled rank!

Finally, the people in the audience came back to their senses. After the initial shock passed away, all they could feel was fear!

A fight involving titled battle pet warriors was about to break out!

Run!

Some people’s flight instinct had kicked in. They were no longer in the mood to watch the bustling scene. They ran to the corridors in a hurry, trying to escape that dangerous place.

While the audience had descended into chaos, on the stage, Su Ping looked up. Above his head, the Crystalline Frostbite Dragon had blotted the light. The dragon was looking down at him from its vantage point.

Su Ping kept a straight face. He shifted his gaze to the older man once again and said slowly, “I am a man of reason, you know.

“I have complied with the rules you made for the Elite League.

“So, we participated and played all the matches, step by step, according to your procedures.

“I can violate your rules and get the championship directly but I didn’t do that because I don’t like special treatment or bullying the weak.

“Let’s take the Liu Family as an example. The Liu Family was competing against my store, it was a business competition and I saw it as such. So, although I can silence the entire Liu family, or destroy them, I didn’t do that.

“I understand that kids are the only ones who listen to reason in this world, but I’m willing to be reasonable.

“I have been bringing out the facts and tried to reason with you, or with the world, including at this very moment…

“I’ve already told you that you would have to shoulder the consequences. However, since you still want to stop me, I hope you can indeed shoulder what comes next!”

The older man frowned upon hearing this, baffled as to what Su Ping meant. More so, his mind was getting unsettled because of Su Ping’s words.

The older man failed to see any signs of worry or surprise on the young man’s face.

It seemed that the young man was not surprised to see such a display of his strength. That level of calmness frightened the older man. He had to take Su Ping more seriously.

At the same time, below the stage, Liu Tianzong sneered and his face was clouded. Su Ping’s words sounded too wild. Silencing the Liu family? Destroy them?

Who the hell do you think you are!

Reasoning. Who would reason with you?!

If the world ran with reason, then why would people want to work hard at all? Anyone would want to act as they wished in the streets!

People always tried to climb up, just so that they could enjoy privileges and refuse to see reason, didn’t they?!

“Mr. Su, stay calm. We are not your enemy and I hope you don’t make things too hard for us!” the other titled battle pet warrior said with a frown. In the meantime, he had unleashed his power as well. He was at the intermediate position of the titled rank!

Swirls appeared behind him but he merely summoned two battle pets. Both were at their prime state, the upper position of the ninth rank!

With the two battle pets joining, the stage became even more crowded. Every battle pet was huge and tall. Su Ping and the rest of the humans appeared to be petite in front of them, like insects in comparison.

“Interesting…”

Su Ping suddenly chuckled but that lasted for merely one second. A brilliant red glow burst out from his dark eyes. It was as if the violent devil that had been hiding in the depths of his heart had suddenly broken free from the shackles and occupied his entire soul!

“Those in my way shall die!!”

His ferocious voice seemed to have filled the air with a pungent smell of blood.

The older man standing in front of Su Ping was terrified.

In his eyes, Su Ping was no longer a young man. He was but a devil and the older man suddenly lost all visuals of the stage. Everything descended into darkness.

That killing intent was so strong that the older man was having an illusion!

This strange turn of events reminded the older man of a mysterious thing that existed in the distant past, something only told in stories.

Force Field!!

It was said that even for legendary battle pet warriors, the Force Field was a mental skill that was hard to comprehend. The skill was only recorded in ancient books and codices. He had once obtained an ancient book by chance and learned about the skill from that ancient book.

No way could it be displayed right there!

The older man was in great shock. The shadow of that devil was moving closer and closer and he felt he had lost all of his energy. He bit his tongue forcefully and the pain yanked him back to reality. He could see the stage and the surroundings. He was still standing there. However, he felt he was isolated!

Yes, isolated!

He was surrounded by his battle pets, and yet, he felt he was there all alone.

He was there, alone… facing that young man!

“Behead him!”

Su Ping uttered the two words with a freezing cold glare.

Whoosh!

The Little Skeleton standing behind him disappeared abruptly. Immediately afterward, in front of the older man, a brilliant blue hue began shining in all directions. That blue light was an indication of many layers of astral power shields built together. However, as soon as those astral power shields appeared, they fell apart like pieces of fragile glass! The blue shields had been built up using a secret defensive skill that he had been cultivating!

As the layers of shields collapsed, the older man was scared out of his wits. A word written in dark and bold font jumped into his mind

Death!!

“No, god, no!!!”

The older man gave out many instructions and commands on his mind and he distributed those orders to his battle pets at a speed he had never achieved before!

It honestly didn’t occur to him that Su Ping would resort to action for real!

Not to mention that Su Ping’s first target was him and Su Ping aimed to kill!!

“Help me!!”

It was happening too fast!

So very fast! His battle pets were standing right next to him, very close to him, but they seemed to be worlds apart at the same time! Every thought in his mind settled down. Everything ended!

Pff!

A head flew up and landed in the hand of a small skeleton.

Fear was still visible on that head and dread was still lingering in those contracted pupils. All the expressions and looks froze on that face.

Whoosh!

In a blur, the Little Skeleton held the head and dashed back to where Su Ping was. The Little Skeleton had the head by the hair as it passed it over to Su Ping.

Su Ping took the head, gathered astral powers in his hand, and with a bang, he crushed the head!

A battle pet warrior at the upper position of the titled rank passed away!

Everything happened within one second.

The seven battle pets that were about to take action lost their contracts the moment the older man died. The battle pets were frozen on the spot for a second, trying to process the sudden surge of unfamiliar feelings.

They felt they had lost something important.

Standing next to the battle pets, the other two titled battle pet warriors from the government were staring, dumbstruck. They stood aghast, openmouthed. They had never been in so much shock before!

Su Ping did it!

Su Ping had targeted a man from the government!

He had successfully killed him!!

The one who was at the highest position and enjoyed the most prestigious status of the three died right there!

He was at the upper position of the titled rank!!

He was one step away from reaching the peak of the titled rank! Even in the government, that older man was entitled to many preferential treatments. The mayor would have to treat him with respect, as well as the family heads. But, right then, Su Ping had beheaded him and crushed his severed head!

How cruel!

How unruly!

How utterly out of control!!

The more important thing was. How could this crazy man possess such power? What the hell is that skeleton? What exactly happened just now?
