Chapter 302 Little Skeleton on the Move!

Roar!!

The two ninth-rank battle pets that were charging forward could sense the danger contained in the crimson sea of fire. Both pets began to growl in a towering rage. With their master behind them, they had no other choice but to forget about their own safety and rise to the challenge! One of the two ninth rank pets belonged to the wind family, while the other was part of the demon family, which was skilled at using dark elements. At the moment, both pets had unleashed their skills simultaneously.

The wind was whistling!

The violent hurricane swept through, turning into a substantial mountain in mid-air, with the tip facing downwards, running through the entire sea of fire, trying to scramble and disperse the flames that blotted the sky!

As to the other battle pet of the demon family… Dark energy oozed out from all over its body like mist or silk threads. In midair, dark matter pellets came into being from both sides of its body, as if many miniature black holes were emerging out of thin air, and they could swallow light and energy alike. This was a ninth-rank skill for pets of the demon family, Darkness Annihilation!

Darkness Annihilation was quite destructive; it was able to rip apart and turn to ashes anything it touched!

Over a dozen dark energy pellets were discharged at the same time as the huge pet bellowed. They traveled across a curve, flying toward the sea of fire-toward the young man and his two pets!

As the dark energy pellets were dashing toward them, the hurricane had smashed into the sea of fire. The blazing temperature suddenly rose again sharply, and the hurricane had easily penetrated the center of the sea of fire. In an instant, the sea of fire across the sky was being pulled and dragged by the hurricane, gradually turning into a flame tornado!

The blood-red flame tornado reached high into the sky, hovering over the Zhou’s residence. As the tornado rotated, the surrounding temperature was getting higher and higher. From the flame tornado, a cluster of sparks was thrown out, scattering around like a rain of meteors. What a grand yet terrifying scene this was!

“Why is it still there?!”

The strong middle-aged man could not believe this. The sea of fire that should have been easily dispersed resisted the hurricane strike!

Roar!!

While he had yet to recover from his astonishment, he had heard another dragon’s roar that was full of fury and violence coming from the ground. Then, he saw two wings of flames grow out from the back of the Inferno Dragon that was halfway through its jump. The Inferno Dragon charged toward his battle pet of the demon family, leaving behind a crimson track in the air.

Whoosh!

The Inferno Dragon made a dash midair. Surprisingly, it had sped up and had reached the battle pet of the demon family within the split of a second.

That was a ninth-rank pet skill, Air Splitter!

That was a skill that should have only been mastered by ninth-rank pets of the wind family! Accompanied by the dragon’s extremely ferocious roar, the huge Inferno Dragon instantly obscured the light in front of the demon pet. At that moment, with a body exuding terrifying demon flames, this pet was like a devil slowly rising from hell, casting a terrifying shadow of death!

Roar!!

A close-range dragon roar, like a sonic boom, suddenly pierced through the surrounding air, paralyzing the battle pet of the demon family for a while.

Claw of Destruction, a skill with divine enhancement!

The Inferno Dragon’s flame-covered claws were suddenly covered with a golden glow, as the Inferno Dragon slapped toward the battle pet of the demon family.

Finally, the battle pet of the demon family had come back to its senses. A dark armor emerged and covered its body. That was its defensive skill; however, as soon as the armor came into being, the Inferno Dragon had smashed it into pieces. The hard shell formed by the dark energy was at the moment floating around in pieces like catkins.

Astounded, the battle pet of the demon family widened its eyes.

Bang!!

The next moment, its body quivered in mid-air as if hit by a meteorite; with unstoppable and irreversible momentum, the pet slammed into the ground like a rocket.

Since it was falling diagonally, its body slammed directly into a nearby old building which had been designed by a master architect. Alas, the building had suddenly collapsed. The ground under the building was even more damaged. Dust filled up the air!

As the battle pet of the demon family fell to its doom, the dark energy pellets had reached Su Ping as well. He remained standing on the head of the Purple Python, unaffected by the incoming strike.

The Purple Python under his feet suddenly let out a roar, showing the ferocious fangs in its mouth. The scales on its head suddenly stood up in layers, squirming, covering Su Ping’s head like a parasol. In the meantime, some dark purple energy began to surge from amongst its purple and blue scales.

Bang, bang, bang!!! More than a dozen Dark Annihilation energy pellets poured down like missiles onto the Purple Python. The energy burst and turned into countless dark air currents, covering the huge body of the Purple Python like a mass of darkness.

After a brief cracking sound, the Purple Python suddenly flung out its sturdy tail, swinging it against the ground and creating a deep trench on the street.

At the same time, the Purple Python stuck its head out from the area filled with dark energy. Next, the Purple Python took a deep and long breath in and all the dark energy floated into its mouth!

This view appalled all the soldiers of the Zhou Army that were ready to attack Su Ping.

A Purple Python that merely had a middle-rank bloodline could sustain a strike from a ninth-rank pet of the demon family. How?

Even one pellet of this dark energy could have straight off killed an eighth-rank pet!

What on earth was that pet?!!

As the dark energy collapsed, the raised scales on the top of the Purple Python’s head slowly shrank back, revealing Su Ping. His body was unharmed, and his clothes were undamaged. After a long time of training, being a pet of the combat family without any element skills, the Purple Python was able to strengthen other advantages to the extreme, namely its strength and defense!

Not even a beast at the upper position of the ninth rank could end the life of the Purple Python within one move!

Not to mention the fact that this battle pet of the demon family was only at the intermediate position of the ninth rank!

“Kill!”

Su Ping stood up straight and glared at the crowd in front of him coldly. He gave one simple order to his pets.

The Inferno Dragon that was still in the air understood his intention promptly. Its eyes became even redder. It was both excited and dying for a taste of blood. The Inferno Dragon felt it was at a cultivation site again where it could kill without restraint!

Roar!

m

The Inferno Dragon used Air Splitter once more. Although huge, the Inferno Dragon moved with flexibility, reaching the middle-aged man in no time. The middle-aged man was taken aback. He had been stunned still ever since he saw how Su Ping’s ordinary-looking pet was able to fend off the Darkness Annihilation.

He had observed that pet for a long time and concluded that it was just a slightly larger Purple Python.

How could he know that the Purple Python was this strong in defense?

Looking at the Inferno Dragon that had reached him within a blink, the middle-aged man felt a chill running down his spine. All of a sudden, the air seemed to be boiling like water and even his clothes were burning up.

But the middle-aged man didn’t remain in this absent-minded state for long in the face of such terror. His rich experience enabled him to remember to communicate with his pets at once!

Bang!

The Inferno Dragon was about to pounce on the middle-aged man when something bumped it away. It was the pet of the wind family and this pet, too, had mastered Air Splitter. Besides, this pet had the inborn skill of “Wing Feather,” which allowed the pet to move even faster than the Inferno Dragon. When this pet used both skills, it would move so fast that beasts under the lower position of the ninth rank would be unable to see it with the naked eye.

The pet of the wing family had managed to bump the Inferno Dragon away, but it also began to cry in misery because the flames had stuck to its wings and body. The pet tried to pat down the flames and used energy to extinguish them, but the flames kept on burning heavily as if nothing could put them out until the pet died!

Again, the middle-aged man was overwhelmed by disbelief as he noticed the flames covering up his pet. All of a sudden, he remembered something. He looked around, only to see how the rain of fire had reached every corner of the residence. At this moment, the fire had broken out in many places!

“Damn it!”

The middle-aged man had so much hatred that he almost cracked his teeth into pieces. He abruptly clapped his hands and mobilized his powers. “Contract and Blood Combination!”

The energy in his body was violent, and even the astral power in the air around him was boiling. The next moment, all the energy was weaved into a complex and old mantra, which was suddenly imprinted on the pet of the wind family.

“Zhou Feng, no!”

Suddenly, an aged man shouted behind him. In the meantime, a figure dashed over, trying to stop this middle-aged man but it was already too late.

The pet of the wind family was strengthened by the combination of blood and contract, immediately growing up in size. Its bones were cracking. The pet had jumped directly to the upper position of the ninth rank from the intermediate position!

“What?”

Su Ping frowned at this.

When a battle pet reached the ninth rank, it would be hard to increase its combat strength temporarily, let alone move it up by one position.

Su Ping didn’t expect that this titled battle pet warrior could help his pets this much. When the two of them worked together, it wasn’t simply one pet plus one person. One pet at the upper position of the ninth rank was able to kill four or five pets at the intermediate position of the ninth rank!

Su Ping merely frowned for a few seconds. He once again opened up the space to begin summoning his pet. The merely half-a-meter tall Little Skeleton jumped out.

“Kill!” Su Ping commanded the Little Skeleton and pointed to its target.

The Inferno Dragon was able to defeat a pet at the upper position of the ninth rank alone but it wouldn’t be able to finish the fight quickly enough. After all, this was the Zhou family’s territory. In case more people would gather, Su Ping decided that he should deal with some of the more difficult people first and that would help him win a certain advantage.

The Little Skeleton looked at Su Ping. The crimson light flickered in its eye sockets. Then, it turned to the man and his pet hovering in the air.

Coldness filled up the Little Skeleton’s eye sockets.

Strands of dark aura gradually poured out from its bones.

Whoosh!

Its body flashed suddenly, disappearing into thin air.

“Wind Bellow, kill it!!”

Since Zhou Feng used the augmentation skill on his pet, he felt that his whole strength had been emptied, but he could sense the surging power in his battle pet. Making a ferocious face, he waved his hand forward!

Roar!!

The recently boosted wind pet soared in the sky and cried with a vigorous aura, stirring up the surrounding gusts of wind. The next moment, its fierce and sharp eyes fell on Inferno Dragon, and the Wind Bellow suddenly swooped toward it! The Inferno Dragon was roaring as well. It was about to charge toward its enemy when it felt something and stopped.

The pet of the wind family was very close to the Inferno Dragon now. Suddenly, it saw a dark figure appearing on the Inferno Dragon’s shoulder, something tiny. What… was that?!

Even in its furious state, the pet of the wind family had to halt for a second. It could not understand what it was seeing.

Zhou Feng noticed that as well. He had never thought that a proud and dignified dragon would ever allow anything other than its master to stand on its shoulder.

But the next second, what he saw almost took Zhou Feng’s breath away!

He saw the tiny black shadow suddenly flicker and disappear. The next moment, the pet of the wind family was swooping down like a building as a streak of blood suddenly appeared over its neck. Endless blood oozed out, and most of the sky was tainted red!

The Inferno Dragon moved to the side so that the pet of the wind family could fall to the ground.

In an instant, the pet had died.

Boom!!

The huge body plunged to the ground with its rapid dive momentum, and the ground of the entire Zhou’s estate shook!!
