Chapter 559 Deterrence
Instant kill!
You could even hear a needle drop. A legendary battle pet warrior had died before he could finish speaking!
People were still seeing how his head had been crushed and how the blood spilled out as if everything had happened in slow motion. They were so frightened that their mouths hung ajar.
A legendary battle pet warrior…
Just died?!
What?!
All the three families present were in a complete daze.
That old man was a legendary battle pet warrior!
A legend who had the power to subdue many t.i.tled battle pet warriors had been killed! The white skeleton was then covered in red blood. People were still wondering if all of it was just a dream.
Where did that skeleton come from?
Some people had completely forgotten about the skeleton’s existence.
Some people still recalled that the skeleton had arrived along with Tang Ruyan. But who would mind that insignificant skeleton?
The family heads of the Situ family and the w.a.n.g family, who had just breathed a breath of relief, were thrown back into terror again.
Sophisticated as they were, it was beyond their ability to hide their astonishment.
“That…”
People’s minds were blank.
The appearance of the legendary battle pet warrior had thrown the Tang family’s battle pet warriors into another round of depression, right after their spirits had been raised by Tang Ruyan. Still, the legendary battle pet warrior had died even before they found time to weep for a second-round of depression! After one punch!
A legendary battle pet warrior!
He was there for less than half a minute, and he had said so few words… His death was completely unpredicted!
What a sudden death!
“That skeleton…”
Tang Mingqing stared at that blood-covered skeleton. He finally remembered it, that nightmare he had experienced before. A spread of coldness crept into his heart.
Back at the pet store, there was a skeleton standing next to that young man!
Only, that skeleton was black.
Since the skeleton present was white, the color difference made Tang Mingqing fail to make the connection right away. The strength, the skeleton’s blood and stature… the two skeletons he had seen merged into one on his mind!
There was also one fact, Tang Ruyan had initially been captured by that young man. That was the skeleton he had seen at the store!
Did the young man lend the skeleton to Tang Ruyan?
No wonder Tang Ruyan was able to come back. Is he… here?
Tang Mingqing could not help but look around. He felt that the young man could be hiding in any place lit up by twilight.
Tang Mingqing felt hope was returning.
Whether that young man was there or not, the skeleton itself was able to save the Tang family!
The skeleton was that young man’s representation.
Tang Mingzing didn’t understand why that young man was willing to help, but the only explanation he could think of was Tang Ruyan.
Tang Mingqing glanced at the girl who was hovering in the air, the vicious girl… She was even more horrifying than a t.i.tled battle pet warrior. What did she have to go through to be like this? he wondered. Tang Mingqing quickly looked away from her. He felt mortified.
Apart from Tang Mingqing, the other t.i.tled battle pet warriors were also full of troubling feelings. They were overjoyed but also humiliated. At the end of the day, they had been saved by the child they had abandoned.
Tang Ruyan stared blankly at the beheaded legendary battle pet warrior from the air. She wasn’t unaware of Su Ping’s skeleton but she didn’t know it would be so outstanding.
One punch and the skeleton had killed a legendary battle pet warrior!
The legendary battle pet warrior didn’t even have the time to react!
The skeleton had overpowered him!
That was Su Ping’s battle pet.
The surprise cleared Tang Ruyan’s head a bit. She saw the two family heads standing on the ground, looking dazed. She immediately charged toward them.
The Little Skeleton stood still in the air. The Little Skeleton remembered what Su Ping said.
Finish anyone or anything that means to hurt Tang Ruyan! The legendary battle pet warrior had hurt Tang Ruyan as soon as he arrived. So, he died.
Whoos.h.!.+
The family heads of the Situ family and the w.a.n.g family were still staring at the headless corpse of the legendary battle pet warrior. Their minds were on strike. A surge of killing intent enveloped them and slapped them back to their senses. They saw Tang Ruyan heading toward them, which instilled coldness into their hearts. Compared to that white skeleton, Tang Ruyan was a bit weaker, but she was a terrifying girl already.
“Let’s go. Kill her!”
The w.a.n.g family head bit his teeth.
He and the Situ family head were unable to run away; that was not a choice for them. Tang Ruyan was too fast thanks to the Shadow Tracing. The two of them had no time to escape. They would have to face her and kill her!
“Let’s do this!”
The Situ family head agreed to the plan. He was ready.
Boom!
The w.a.n.g family head turned his palm on which appeared a spear that had once instilled fear in many families. That was his Blood Spear!
While the w.a.n.g family head prepared his spear, all of a sudden, he felt a wave of pressure coming over him. Scared, he put his hand in front of his chest. Still, he was thrown away for over a dozen meters. Tang Ruyan had reached him.
“Situ Shou!!” the man shouted. His face was wrenched in anger.
But the family head called Situ Shou had already turned around and immediately ran away without looking back. Fighting Tang Ruyan together?
h.e.l.l no!
He believed they could stop Tang Ruyan with the w.a.n.g family head and the other t.i.tled battle pet warriors. But, there was that skeleton that had just killed a legendary battle pet warrior. What? That was a dead thing?
…Well, a skeleton was not exactly a living creature per se.
Being a skeleton and all.
Anyway, that skeleton was with Tang Ruyan!
Situ Shou was not sure why Tang Ruyan didn’t order the skeleton to kill them directly, instead choosing to go after them herself. Either way, he could not afford to ignore the skeleton!
Even if Tang Ruyan died, things would not end well with the skeleton still being around!
Run!
Never in his life had Situ Shou run faster.
He had never heard of such a skeleton!
As far as he could tell, that old man they called Lord Xu was the most powerful human they knew, since he was able to kill a t.i.tled battle pet warrior with a move of his finger. Look at how he ended up; the skeleton killed Lord Xu with a single punch. Even thinking about it gave Situ Shou the chills.
Tang Ruyan frowned as Situ Shou ran for his life. If she were to go after him, the other t.i.tled battle pet warriors present would still have the chance to hurt the Tang family more.
But she didn’t want to let go of an enemy like that.
“Little Skeleton, kill him for me!”
Tang Ruyan had to ask for help.
However, the Little Skeleton remained still and didn’t answer the call for help.
The small skeleton knew it had to protect Tang Ruyan, but it wouldn’t listen to her orders.
Tang Ruyan forced a bitter smile; she understood that the Little Skeleton only took orders from Su Ping. She just felt sorry that she didn’t spend more time trying to nurture her relations.h.i.+p with the Little Skeleton while in the store.
“Anyway, you may run but you cannot hide!”
Tang Ruyan had decided a plan.
She took her mind off of Situ Shou and went back to the w.a.n.g family head.
“d.a.m.n you!”
The latter was boiling with anger. That was not the time to be obsessed over Situ Shou. He had to deal with the imminent crisis.
He had no one to turn to and he did not plan on fighting Tang Ruyan directly. She turned out to be more powerful than all the peak t.i.tled warriors he had ever seen. He believed that a legendary battle pet warrior would have to go through some troubles to kill her.
“Cover for me!” he shouted. He was going to use the most powerful skill known to the w.a.n.g family, Spear Overlord!
Bang!
He wiggled his spear. Behind him appeared nine swirls from which climbed out nine beasts. Wild, crazy beasts.
All of them were at the ninth rank, with three at the peak and the others at the upper position.
They ran past the w.a.n.g family head and straight toward Tang Ruyan.
The t.i.tled battle pet warriors of the Situ and w.a.n.g families finally understood what was going on. Those of the w.a.n.g family were furious since Situ Shou had left by himself.
“Oh, f*ck you Situ family!”
“Go to h.e.l.l!”
“You will be our sworn enemies now!”
The t.i.tled battle pet warriors of the w.a.n.g family could not even begin to describe their anger.
The Situ family and the w.a.n.g family had been on good terms. They had become friends and they had planned that joint strike against the Tang family. But, what the Situ family had done was heartless.
The t.i.tled battle pet warriors were surprised as well; they knew that they could not find any excuse to defend their family head. There was no need for them to stay since their family head had run away, clearly fearing the skeleton.
“Let’s go!” an elder of the Situ family said.
He enjoyed quite a high status in the Situ family. The t.i.tled battle pet warriors of the Situ family agreed without the slightest hesitation.
“You can’t leave!”
“Kill them!”
In a fit of rage, some of the t.i.tled battle pet warriors went to help their family head while others began to beat the t.i.tled battle pet warriors of the Situ family. It was quite chaotic.
The members of the Tang family could only stare at that mess. No one could have seen that coming
Some people still kept their eyes glued on the white skeleton.
It had instilled fear into the Situ and w.a.n.g families, just by standing in the air. The skeleton’s mere presence had turned the two families against each other!
“I think I can move now.”
“Same here.”
Soon, the Tang family’s members felt the pressure on them lessening.
Some t.i.tled battle pet warriors tried to wiggle and they could move about freely.
They could barely stand up a moment before. “Let’s work with Tang Ruyan. Let’s stop them from running away!”
Tang Linzhan’s ability to move had also returned. He made a prompt decision.
He did not worry about the ones who were fighting each other. They would descend into mutual destruction eventually. He was after the ones trying to escape. No one would be able to get away if they worked together with Tang Ruyan!
He believed that the Situ family and the w.a.n.g family would be greatly undermined if he was able to finish all the t.i.tled battle pet warriors present!
