Chapter 1495: A Battle of Attrition
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
It wasn’t easy to kill a Venerable-level spiritual beast, so Han Fei was already fast enough. He had entered the mouth of the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon himself and then used the Supreme Yin-Yang Wheel in its body.
In an instant, the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon was cut into seven or eight pieces.
All this happened only one second before the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon was pulled out of the Soul Sea.
Around the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon, the other Venerable-level spiritual beasts became vigilant and entered combat mode.
This was the difference between a Venerable-level spiritual beast and ordinary spiritual beasts.
However, what shocked Han Fei was not the strength of these spiritual beasts, but their number. Plus the spiritual beast he killed, there were a total of seven Venerable-level spiritual beasts here.
The growth of spiritual beasts was based on the upper limit of their master’s growth. This meant that there were seven Venerables in Chu Sect.
However, although the Wind Thunder Flood Dragon of the Venerable named Chu Jun ran away, only part of its body escaped. The rest were all eaten by Han Fei.
“Ah ~”
The Emperor Sparrow followed him and hummed as he ate.
It had to be said that the effect of a high-level spiritual beast was really different. The Emperor Sparrow had leveled up again!
Although Little Black and Little White hadn’t upgraded yet, Han Fei had already sensed that they were not far from upgrading.
…
Three days later.
In the small house where Chu Xiao was, someone knocked on the door and shouted, “Chu Xiao, open the door, Chu Xiao…”
A moment later, Ling’er opened the door and asked, “What do you want? My young master is cultivating.”
Someone sneered. “Cultivate? From a law enforcer to a Hanging Fisher? If he continues to cultivate, won’t he become a Dangling Fisher?”
Little Ling’er said angrily, “Our Young Master will definitely restore his strength!”
Boom ~
These people were not interested in wasting their time arguing with a little girl. The airwave shook, and the little girl flew out and fell heavily to the ground.
Beside these people, their spiritual beasts followed them, big crabs, jellyfish, Anti-Heaven Blade, Soul Eating Shrimp… All of them brandished their claws and rushed into the yard.
“Chu Liang, what do you want? Aren’t you afraid that the law enforcement hall will punish you for attacking a clansman for no reason?”
The guy called Chu Liang laughed. “Punish me? Chu Xiao, I’m afraid you don’t understand the situation? You need to know your own status. Do you think the law enforcement hall will pay attention to a peak-level Hanging Fisher?”
Chu Xiao’s face flushed red. Of course he knew why these people kept picking on him. The strong, especially the heavenly talents, had always been arrogant. He had once been in the limelight and was one of the most s.h.i.+ning stars of the Chu Sect.
In the past, he had bullied others and enjoyed the flattery of these people. This Chu Liang and the people around him were the useless people who had flattered him and he didn’t even bother to take a look at them.
Now, Chu Liang had reached the Law Enforcer realm. Therefore, he wanted to bully him back. This was not the first time he had come to provoke him.
In the past, Chu Xiao’s strength hadn’t dropped much, and Chu Liang hadn’t become a law enforcer, so he didn’t dare to do anything rash. But now, when he completely fell to the realm of a Hidden Fisher, Chu Liang became bolder.
Little Ling’er hurriedly got up and looked at Chu Xiao worriedly. “Young Master.”
Chu Xiao held back the fury in his heart and said in a low voice, “Chu Liang, what do you want?”
Chu Liang sneered and swaggered into the courtyard, saying lazily, “A strong master broke into the Chu Sect. As the strongest heavenly talent in this area, I certainly have to be vigilant. But your small courtyard is closed all year round… Is that thief in your courtyard?”
Chu Xiao sneered. “Heh! How can a strong master who can break into the Chu Sect be in my small courtyard? Do you believe this?”
Before Chu Xiao could speak, another person said, “That’s hard to say. What if you have already been possessed and are no longer the original Chu Xiao?”
“Hahaha!”
After that person finished speaking, Chu Liang and the others all laughed. In fact, those who were possessed usually became stronger crazily, but his strength kept declining.
Chu Liang said quickly, “Yes, that makes sense. I suspect that you may be possessed. So, I want to test your strength with my own hands.”
“No! You are obviously bullying my young master.”
Little Ling’er stood in front of Chu Xiao. “You are already a Law Enforcer, but my young master is only a peak-level Hanging Fisher. You did it on purpose.”
Chu Liang slapped her and Little Ling was sent flying again.
Chu Liang cursed, “What an eyesore. Since when does a little girl dare to be impudent in front of me?”
Chu Xiao stared at Chu Liang and gritted his teeth. “Okay! Then let’s have a fight.”
“Young Master, no! You can’t fight…”
Chu Xiao turned around and scolded, “Shut up… I’d like to see how capable you are, Chu Liang!”
Ka ka ka ~
A purple lobster quickly crawled out of the house. Chu Liang and the others narrowed their eyes when they saw the purple lobster.
Before, they didn’t dare to provoke Chu Xiao because of the Purple Gold Lobster. However, the Purple Gold Lobster was only level-55 and only an intermediate Hidden Fisher. Even if it was threatening, it wasn’t enough.
Chu Liang chuckled. “Let our spiritual beasts solve this battle.”
Then, a group of spiritual beasts surrounded the Purple Gold Lobster.
What would happen next could be imagined: begging for mercy was impossible. As a former Heavenly Talent, Chu Xiao wouldn’t allow himself to beg for mercy.
Clank, Clank, Clank ~
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Purple Gold Lobster was besieged and battered. Fortunately, the Purple Gold Lobster had a strong defense power. Although it was only an intermediate Hidden Fisher, its defense power was comparable to that of an ordinary peak-level Hidden Fisher.
However, while the Purple Gold Lobster could bear it, Chu Xiao couldn’t. At this moment, he was already lying on the ground. In just 20 seconds, he had been beaten hundreds of times and his body was covered with injuries.
Clank ~
Chu Liang poked a spear on the ground, stuck it to Chu Xiao’s neck, and stepped on Chu Xiao’s back with one foot. He sneered and said, “Look, where is your arrogance from before? Why is it gone?”
Someone sneered. “Brother Liang, he’s already disabled. How can he still be arrogant?”
Someone sneered. “Chu Xiao, who used to be insufferably arrogant, has now fallen to this point. As the saying goes, ‘changeable in prosperity and decline, capricious in rise and fall’.”
Chu Xiao spat out a mouthful of blood. “Kill me if you have what it takes. Otherwise, I will kill you sooner or later.”
Seeing this, Chu Liang frowned. “How dare you talk back? Keep beating him…”
…
Fighting and being beaten were completely different. For example, Chu Xiao was being beaten, not in a battle. He could only be beaten one-sidedly.
At this moment, Chu Xiao was leaning on the bed sore all over, and Ling’er was crying. “Young Master, let’s go find the elders of the law enforcement hall!”
Chu Xiao shook his head. “No. How can I not know the Chu Sect’s law enforcement hall? I’ve already lost power. The law enforcement hall won’t help me.”
In the name of healing his wounds, Chu Xiao sent Little Ling’er away.
At this moment, in Chu Xiao’s heart, the old turtle’s voice sounded leisurely. “Look, the rules of this world have always been set by the strong. Now, they are only here to bully you. If these people grow up for a period of time, it’s almost impossible for you to survive in the Chu Sect.”
How could Chu Xiao not know this? Otherwise, he would have long reported about Han Fei’s whereabouts.
Chu Xiao asked, “Will you really help me recover my spiritual heritage?”
The old turtle said leisurely, “No, not me but Han Fei, as long as you can be useful to him…”
…
In the past three days, almost every morning, afternoon, and evening, people kept inspecting and interrogating around in the Chu Sect.
In the Chu Sect’s meeting hall, the members of the Elder Group were seated. Someone said, “This can’t go on! We searched for him for three days but got no results. Did Han Fei escape when he attacked?”
Someone frowned and said, “That’s right. The protecting array consumes a lot every day. If this goes on, people will panic.”
Someone said, “Family Head, should we let some people’s spiritual beasts return to the Soul Sea? We can check if Han Fei is still there.”
The seven Venerables searched for three days but didn’t find anything. Even the pure black shadow that Old Demon Chu mentioned couldn’t be found.
At this time, even Chu Menw.a.n.g guessed that Han Fei had probably run away.
Chu Menw.a.n.g said, “Ask all the disciples below the Hidden Fisher realm to recall their spiritual beasts. In addition, arrange for a thousand Hidden Fishers and a hundred Law Enforcers to recall their spiritual beasts…”
…
Han Fei wandered in the Soul Sea for three days and casually ate some primitive soul beasts.
He was not in a hurry anyway. It didn’t matter if he was in the Scattered Stars Island or not. Besides, Xue Shenqi was still there.
Suddenly, Han Fei felt that there were more and more spiritual beasts around him. Soon, they were everywhere.
“Little White, find the spiritual beasts above level 70.”
“Huh? Very few? How many? Three or five? What about those above level-80?”
“None?”
Han Fei sneered in his heart. Were they fis.h.i.+ng for him?
However, I won’t fall for it. I don’t know when I can enter the Soul Sea again. How can I retreat so easily?
Another three days pa.s.sed.
The Chu Sect’s inspection times decreased from three times a day to once a day. They really couldn’t find Han Fei!
Three days later, more Law Enforcers and Explorers’ spiritual beasts returned to the Soul Sea.
However…
“Oh! Not good! My spiritual beast has already died.”
“Hurry up, summon your spiritual beast.”
“Han Fei is still here…”
Chu Menw.a.n.g was furious. This guy is still in Chu Sect? Where is he hiding?
Chu Menw.a.n.g: “Those above the Law Enforcer realm, summon your spiritual beasts.”
Old Demon Chu appeared in the meeting room with an ugly expression. “Good move… As expected of Han Guanshu’s son…”
