Chapter 278 - Demonic Bramble Beast
Chapter 278: Demonic Bramble Beast
Wang Zhixing stared curiously at the strange flower in the distance.
He knew that this was the ability used by the members of the Beast Taming Corps, which was also beast taming.
Beast taming was to nurture a beast pet and then control it to fight or do other things.
The flower beside Babatu was called [Demonic Bramble Beast].
After being nurtured by Babatu, the Demonic Bramble Beast possessed super strong offensive, defensive, and control abilities.
Right now, the Demonic Bramble Beast shook its body and shot dozens of spear-like brambled vines.
These vines flew swiftly towards Wang Zhixing.
Babatu was striking back after two defensive attempts.
Seeing this, Wang Zhixing waved his arm, and dozens of streaks of sword energy appeared around him.
“Go!”
These sword energies were like arrows. In the blink of an eye, they collided with the thorny vines.
However, the brambled vines were tough beyond imagination. The sword energies couldn’t completely destroy them.
Several thorny vines broke through the sword energies and continued to shoot straight towards Wang Zhixing.
Wang Zhixing’s expression did not change. Then, with a cold snort, a huge sword energy appeared out of thin air above a few thorny vines.
As it slashed down, the thorny vines were annihilated.
Then, Wang Zhixing pointed his sword in the direction of Babatu.
With an ear-splitting sword cry, the giant flying sword wrapped in countless thorny vines suddenly emitted a dazzling golden light.
The terrifying sharp aura was like a storm of sharp blades, easily crushing those thorny vines.
The giant flying sword that had broken free again slashed down at Babatu.
The sudden turn of events startled Babatu.
He did not expect his Demonic Bramble Beast, which he had painstakingly nurtured, to fail at trapping Wang Zhixing’s flying sword.
In an instant, he viewed Wang Zhixing’s capabilities by a much greater margin.
After learning of Wang Zhixing’s power, Babatu was not afraid. Instead, he felt excited.
Babatu was a total combat fanatic. He yearned to fight. It would be his greatest pleasure if he could defeat an evenly matched opponent.
Therefore, he immediately controlled the [Demonic Bramble Beast] and turned it into a huge and thick shield of thorns.
With a loud bang, the gigantic flying sword struck the surface of the shield of thorns, and the frightening impact caused the surrounding space to collapse one after another.
A shockwave spread to the entire barrier.
This shockwave could easily blow down any building.
If it happened in the city, it would definitely turn into ruins.
At this moment, after being struck by the gigantic flying sword, a startling crack was left on the surface of the shield, as though it was about to split open.
Just then, numerous thorny vines emerged from the surface, instantly evened out the sword marks, restoring the shield to its original form.
Babatu laughed loudly and looked at Wang Zhixing. “Immortal cultivators are nothing much.”
Wang Zhixing’s expression remained unchanged. He was not affected in the slightest.
That strike just now was not his true strength. He was still probing the enemy.
However, the enemy’s giant shield was indeed quite strong. Still, that was all.
Wang Zhixing formed hand seals and chanted an incantation. Golden runes revolved around his sword fingers as his aura continued to rise.
Sensing this aura, Babatu, in the distance, immediately restrained his smile and became exceptionally serious.
In the next moment, the gigantic flying sword burst forth with resplendent light again, instantly illuminating the entire night sky.
The sharp aura emitted by the sword rose rapidly, and the surrounding space vibrated like boiling water.
When the Demonic Bramble Beast, which had transformed into a bramble shield, sensed this sharp aura, its body could not help but tremble, seemingly in fear.
Beast Tamers and their beast pets were telepathically connected.
Babatu was particularly unhappy when he learned of the fear in his beast pet.
He roared angrily, “Don’t be afraid. It’s just a useless sword. Block it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the enormous flying sword that was accumulating strength and waiting above descended from the sky.
The suffocating pressure was incomparable as if it wanted to cut through the galaxy.
In front of the gigantic flying sword, the Demonic Bramble Beast shield was sliced into two like tofu.
After that, the sharp sword energies that accompanied it crushed the beast into pieces.
Elder Tarot and the others were deeply shocked by this scene.
This boosted their confidence and morale.
On the other hand, the people at Aatrox’s side looked very grim. They couldn’t believe Wang Zhixing’s sword could actually break through Babatu’s defense.
Someone asked worriedly, “Captain, will the vice-captain…”
Aatrox said with a solemn expression, “Babatu has yet to display his full strength. The outcome of the match still hasn’t been decided.”
When he said this, Aatrox was obviously feeling guilty.
He was well aware of Babatu’s strength. If Wang Zhixing had not used his full strength, then this battle would have been dangerous for his side.
On the battlefield.
After destroying the Demonic Bramble Beast, the giant flying sword’s power did not decrease much as it slashed towards Babatu.
Presently, Babatu was furious. He looked murderous.
He had spent a lot of effort nurturing the Demonic Bramble Beast. At the same time, he had poured a lot of feelings into it.
To every Beast Tamer, beast pets were equivalent to their own children.
One could imagine how he felt when he saw his child being brutally murdered.
However, he remained rational and did not lose his mind due to hatred.
Feeling the terrifying sharpness, Babatu did not hesitate and quickly dodged the sword.
However, the flying sword was like a tracking missile, chasing Babatu wherever he went.
The flying sword was very fast, and Babatu’s movement speed was clearly inferior.
To this end, Barbatu took out the injection as he fled and plunged it into his arm.
The liquid in the syringe came from the blood essence of the [Kun].
[Kun] was an extremely fast ancient ferocious beast. It had the ability to travel through space.
After Babatu injected the Kun blood essence into his body, his body immediately underwent a mutation, and a pair of [Kun Wings] grew out.
He flapped his wings, and his speed soared, turning into an afterimage.
No matter how fast the flying sword was, it could not catch up.
For this reason, Wang Zhixing could only withdraw his flying sword.
Taking advantage of his speed, Babatu came striking towards Wang Zhixing.
He held up one of his arms that held a long ax.
At the top of the long ax was a tiger head ornament.
The decoration was vivid and lifelike. It opened its mouth wide and seemed to be roaring.
Babatu moved at high speed. With the [Kun Wings] on his back, not to mention ordinary people, even powerhouses like the Elder Tarot could not accurately observe his path.
However, Wang Zhixing was a Nascent Soul cultivator and possessed divine consciousness.
Under the observation of his divine consciousness, Babatu’s movements and trajectory were exceptionally clear.
Still, even if he knew his trajectory, with Babatu’s high movement speed, by the time he reacted, it would be too late.
Thus, Wang Zhixing did not think too much. He threw out a large number of Dao talismans.
Fire Talisman, Ice Talisman, Falling Stone Talisman, Swamp Talisman…
Many Dao talismans were released at this moment.
Babatu saw this and stopped.
The power of such Dao talismans couldn’t threaten Babatu.
But due to Wang Zhixing’s existence, he did not dare take the risk.
Since the death of his beast pet, Babatu had become wary of Wang Zhixing.
Now, Babatu was in no hurry to attack. But, with his retreat, he had given Wang Zhixing time to prepare.
