Chapter 304 Disgraced

The sense of danger came from the skeleton!

Zhou Tianlin and the three other titled battle pet warriors’ jaws dropped as they sensed this killing intent that could split their bodies up. As if on cue, the four of them fixed their eyes on the skeleton that was completely dark.

Judging by its size and look, the four believed the skeleton was of a low-rank bloodline. That being said, the fact that the skeleton could stand in the air alone spoke volumes; it definitely was far from being a common one. It was likely to be an unknown, mutated skeleton!

What appalled the four titled battle pet warriors even more, was that the killing intent oozing out from the skeleton was so profound that it was suffocating. Like waves in the ocean, the killing intent assaulted them again and again. They felt that even their souls were shivering. It was as if they were standing in front of a demon rising from hell. It had been a long time since they had a taste of such terror!

Shocked, the other three titled battle pet warriors summoned their respective pets at once. They only had one person as their opponent but this time, they would no longer trust their abilities.

Kill!

To the death!!

The strong killing intent lingered in the Little Skeleton’s consciousness. The shining rays of crimson light that came out from its eyes landed on the human that stood in the middle. All the killing intent and the strength in the Little Skeleton had merged into one.

Bang!

The Little Skeleton dashed out. Due to the power of this move, a blasting sound was heard in the air!

Just as the noise reached everyone’s ears, it disappeared again. That was because the Little Skeleton had vanished on the spot, right after making its move!

At the same time, the four titled battle pet warriors, including Zhou Tianlin, focused all of their consciousness and mental powers on the Little Skeleton. However, to their astonishment, they realized that their consciousness and mental powers had lost their target. That figure that they saw with their own eyes was gone!

And it left no trace behind, absolutely no clue to find, at all!

That was impossible!

Zhou Tianlin’s pupils contracted in a fit of terror. Right then, he thought of a possibility. The skeleton used that special skill!

Oh crap.

Zhou Tianlin found his heart began to pound violently. Blood surged inside of him and the astral powers traveled along in his veins across his body. Within an instant, he had built up 10 astral shields to protect himself. Meanwhile, he used his mental power to push away the other three titled battle pet warriors. He could tell that the profound killing intent from the Little Skeleton was directed at him.

While he did so, he used his mental power to build up an astral chaos field around him. That was a special skill used by the Zhou family; it was a skill that could disrupt any sneak attack attempts!

Anything that fell within the scope of an astral chaos field would be crushed and all living being’s consciousnesses and souls would be destroyed!

Unless that person’s mental power was three times stronger than his!

However, since he was at the upper position of the ninth rank, not even the senior titled battle pet warriors could have had such a strong mental power. At best, they would only have a mental power twice stronger than his.

Of course, that didn’t apply to legendary battle pet warriors! Roar!!

While Zhou Tianlin was setting up the layers of defense, he was able to give instructions to his three battle pets respectively.

The pets received their master’s order. Although frightened, the three pets were able to work up their courage. They bellowed and roared as they released their skills. Some of the skills were aimed at strengthening defenses and some were for indiscriminate attacks!

Right then, space began to twist. This was when the Little Skeleton appeared. But it was not showing up in front of Zhou Tianlin, but next to the three pets.

The surging mist-like demon aura completely enveloped the body of the Little Skeleton which looked like a mass of darkness with only two rays of red light visible inside the demon energy. This view was horrific.

Slash!

The Little Skeleton drew its blade.

The ugly and simple bone knife was covered with devilish energy in the Little Skeleton’s hand, and the blade gradually turned into a near eight-meter long sword burning with devil flames!

Whoosh!

The Little Skeleton flashed again!

This time, the Little Skeleton made three flashes in a row!

It jumped to reach the three pets one by one, and for each attack, the Little Skeleton merely stopped near them for one instant!

By the time the Little Skeleton stopped its actions and showed itself in front of everyone, the devilish flames on the blade that was ten times larger than the Little Skeleton itself had disappeared. All of this happened within a single second. There wasn’t enough time for Zhou Tianlin and the other three titled battle pet warriors to react!

By the time they understood what was going on, they picked up the sudden pungent smell of blood and heard miserable cries!

Of the three pets that Zhou Tianlin summoned, blood was spilling out from their chest, neck, and wings respectively. Blood poured down from the sky. The sharp pain they felt from their gaping wounds made the pets unable to hold back their screams!

One of the three pets had many tentacles; seven or eight of which had been cut off. Those tentacles that were over 10 meters long fell from the sky and reached the ground, crushing some of the buildings that were already on the verge of breaking down!

No sound could be heard, whether on the ground or in the sky.

Many Zhou family members who were watching in the distance and the warriors of the Zhou Army who were surrounding Su Ping were all stunned still. They watched in complete silence!

In the air, the three battle pets were still crying and screaming. The sound kept on echoing above the entire Zhou estate!

Zhou Tianlin had a dull look on his face.

The other three titled battle pet warriors standing around him were all looking in speechless despair, with disbelief all over their faces.

That skeleton had hurt three pets of the ninth rank in one second! Really?

One of the three pets was of the element family, and was already at the peak of the ninth rank!

This event was beyond everyone’s imagination. It came as a shock to all of them.

The Little Skeleton killed Zhou Feng. When Zhou Tianlin and the other three titled battle pet warriors were informed of that incident and hurried over, they had learned that the skeleton was tricky and crueler than they could imagine. Yet, they still thought that they would do much better than Zhou Feng because he was merely at the lower position of the ninth rank. None of the four had any idea that in front of this skeleton, they and Zhou Feng were just the same!

While Zhou Tianlin’s mind was wandering off, the Little Skeleton was not idle. It was making its way to Zhou Tianlin.

Zhou Tianlin came back to his senses the moment the Little Skeleton began to approach him. His mind was absent for merely one instant. When he saw the Little Skeleton reaching the astral chaos field that he had built up, a glint of evil intention rose in his eyes.

But that evil intention collapsed within a second because Zhou Tianlin had been overcome with confusion.

The Little Skeleton had stepped into the astral chaos field and the demonic flames were still burning around it. The Little Skeleton had a small body and yet it had become the only source of light that was visible in heaven and earth! The Little Skeleton had become a king of the devils that could devour the world! Steadily and forcefully, the Little Skeleton flew forward. Nothing could stop it! From his connection with the astral chaos field, Zhou Tianlin knew that a stranger had broken into the field. No matter how he tried to fight back, to struggle, he could not slow down the Little Skeleton for even one bit!

If it weren’t for the fact that the Zhou family’s special skill for building up this field could affect the void and disable any skills of teleportation, the horrifying Little Skeleton would have reached Zhou Tianlin already.

The field is ineffective?

Zhou Tianlin was baffled.

He had never met a creature that was completely unafraid of this skill.

Zhou Tianlin could clearly feel that the strands of astral power he had set up in the astral chaos field were attacking the Little Skeleton with great force!

However, all the strikes that were aimed at the Little Skeleton had failed to generate any results. The Little Skeleton had not even been slowed down!

The Little Skeleton was immune to all the strikes!

Nothing works!

How is that possible!!

Zhou Tianlin was having a mental breakdown. For the first time, terror showed up in his eyes. His power was strong. Could it be that this skeleton was not at the ninth rank… but at the legendary level?!!

At this thought, Zhou Tianlin trembled.

A skeleton at the legendary level. That would mean that its master was also a legendary warrior!

Had the Zhou family offended a legendary battle pet warrior?!!

The daze and terror did not stay in Zhou Tianlin’s eyes for long. Soon, the image of the demon that was approaching him pulled his thoughts back to reality. The cold, horrifying, and overwhelming sense was fixed on him as if a demon were staring at him from hell.

The only thing that Zhou Tianlin could see was the figure that was entangled with rich demon aura and killing intent, and the pair of blood-red eyes!

The Little Skeleton had arrived near Zhou Tianlin by then. It was looking down on him from a height and then, the Little Skeleton raised its bone blade.

Zhou Tianlin heard some noises coming from the bone blade, a sound akin to when a match was lit and the fire was cracking. As the demonic flames were burning along the bone blade, it extended to several meters long!

And it was going to land on Zhou Tianlin!

“No!!”

All of a sudden, an old man cried out loudly.

The old man was not by Zhou Tianlin, but close to Su Ping.

When the Little Skeleton had hurt three of Zhou Tianlin’s pets and stepped into the astral chaos field, inching closer to Zhou Tianlin, one of the titled battle pet warriors that was more advanced in age had come back to his senses. Instead of joining in the fight, he dashed down to meet the master of that scary skeleton at once.

Ses

He was begging to this young man. Su Ping was still standing at the head of the Purple Python. He frowned but he did send a message to the Little Skeleton. The bone blade stopped pressing down.

“I am begging you. Please! Stay your hand in mercy! The Zhou family will do anything to appease your anger!” The hunchbacked old man with gray hair lowered his head and bowed to his waist to Su Ping. He sounded desperate.

He was using polite words.

He wasn’t speaking loudly, but everyone heard him clearly since it was dead silent at the moment.

His words astounded the Zhou Army’s warriors and onlookers alike.

This young man had managed to overwhelm the entire Zhou family, forcing an elder to bow and apologize in person!

After a second of astonishment, some higher-ups from the Zhou family that were present came back to their senses. Tears filled up their eyes.

In the air, the other two titled battle pet warriors were also aware that their family head could be slain at any minute. They heard the elder begging and after a second of hesitation they made up their minds and flew to join the old man. As of this moment, they knew this was the only way they could save their family head!

Once their family head passed away, no matter how hard they tried to stop the news, it would be learned by the entire upper class of the base city in no time.
