Chapter 463: Ranking Battle (Part One)
Long Yi was no fool. He could sense the sudden change in the Fire-earth Flood Dragon.
After Victor severed the Fire-earth Flood Dragon’s tendon, the latter sent him a telepathic message. The general message was that, for some unknown reason, it had suddenly lost its mind.
This had never happened before. Long Yi could also guarantee that under his guidance, the possibility of the Fire-earth Flood Dragon suddenly losing control was nearly zero!
Moreover, there was still some time before spring, so things related to mating could basically be ruled out.
Though even so, it still lost control.
Perhaps others would blame the Fire-earth Flood Dragon for this matter, but as its companion, Long Yi knew that something must have caused the Fire-earth Flood Dragon to lose control.
Furthermore, Victor was most likely the reason.
Although it was only a guess, why did it not lose control when fighting others, but only him, Victor?
Moreover, Long Yi still could not understand something. The Fire-earth Flood Dragon said that it was suddenly bewitched by some external force, but among all the people present, who could possess such power?
He had worked with the Tiger General and Barbarian General for many years. Long Yi was very familiar with their standards, and they simply did not have the capabilities.
Lord Altar Master?
It did not seem like it.
After all, at the time of the incident, the altar master’s reaction was the biggest. She was afraid that something bad would happen to Victor. She would never let Victor put himself in danger.
As for that newcomer, the Ape General, it was obvious that he did not have the ability. Although Long Yi did not suspect that Victor’s loss was due to his carelessness, Long Yi still did not think that the Ape General had the ability.
Therefore, upon eliminating all the suspects, Victor was the only one left.
Moreover, his ident.i.ty and origin were unknown. Long Yi had sent people to investigate, but they found out that he had no background at all. It was no wonder that Long Yi suspected him.
After returning to the Flood Dragon Hall, Long Yi immediately sent people to fetch the Fire-earth Flood Dragon back from the Golden Crow Hall. Severing the dragon tendon was a very serious matter for a flood dragon. It was very likely that within this year, the Fire-earth Flood Dragon would completely lose its fighting strength.
This meant that at least within this year, he would not possess the ability to fight at a battle general’s level.
This was a fatal thing…
Perhaps for the other altars, one year would pa.s.s in the blink of an eye, but for the Demon Slaying Division, a year was enough to change everything.
Next year, what awaited him was the selection of the next battle general and the candidate for the next altar master.
Without the help of the Fire-earth Flood Dragon, Long Yi’s chances of winning would be greatly reduced.
However, he could not care less now. If he wanted the Fire-earth Flood Dragon to recover faster, he could only provide it with more blood essence.
Fortunately, he lost the qualification to partic.i.p.ate in the ranking battle, which could be considered as a chance for Long Yi to catch his breath.
At the same time, on Victor’s side.
After severing the dragon tendon, Long Yi took it back. Otherwise, Victor would have used it to replenish the Three-legged Golden Crow’s qi and blood.
“Speaking of which, the Three-legged Golden Crow should be back latest by the day after tomorrow…”
It had already been two days since Victor had asked it to bring the three beast kings from the Eastern Plains.
Logically speaking, with the Three-legged Golden Crow’s extreme speed, it should be able to make it back by tomorrow or the day after tomorrow at most. However, the other three beast kings were different. They did not have the speed of the Three-legged Golden Crow. Victor was also aware of this and had asked the Three-legged Golden Crow to return first.
There was no other way. Victor needed the Three-legged Golden Crow’s help in the ranking battle.
Every general had a comparable demon beast. The lack of a demon beast would greatly reduce their combat strength.
However, Victor was an exception.
His combat strength had nothing to do with the Three-legged Golden Crow. It was simply because he was stronger.
However, in order to prevent his ident.i.ty from being exposed, it was best to call the Three-legged Golden Crow back.
“Hmm… After this matter is over, Long Yi can rest for a long time. However, the ranking battle… hiss…”
Victor looked at the name list in front of the table. Victor could not help but frown.
Unexpectedly, the Central Plains Sect Alliance had many crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
There was a battle general named Su Haoge from the Sacred Fire Altar. His personal strength was average, but one could not help but admit that his demonic beast was very powerful. Similar to the Three-legged Golden Crow, they were both ancient demonic beasts that had been pa.s.sed down from ancient times, the Wind-thunder White Sparrow. It was a powerful existence that was named the ten great ancient divine birds along with the Three-legged Golden Crow.
Moreover, although his strength was only at the core formation realm, his demonic beast, the Wind-thunder White Sparrow’s strength was already comparable to that of a beast king. Even the Blue Luan was not its match. It could be said that among all the battle general’s demonic beasts… its strength was one of a kind.
In addition, in the Dark Altar, there was this anonymous individual. Even the altar master did not know his name, so everyone called him Nameless.
His situation was even more special. He did not have a demonic beast companion. His companion in battle was a puppet.
As for the origin of this puppet, Victor had heard a bit about it. There were rumors that it was a childhood friend of his who lost his life due to some reason. Later on, Nameless helped her find the heart of the demonic puppet and refined her into a puppet, bringing her along with him.
If this was the end of the story, he obviously did not deserve to be called special.
The problem was that he and the puppet’s battle strength were very strong. The combined attack of the two was hard for ordinary people to resist. Moreover, unlike demon beasts, as long as the puppet’s heart was not destroyed, it would never be injured.
As for the other opponents, Victor did not put them in his eyes.
Looking at them separately, his strength was indeed top-notch. However, the Three-legged Golden Crow’s strength could only be considered ordinary.
Therefore, in a fight, Victor might not be able to worry about it.
“Forget it, let’s take it one step at a time.”
Victor ignited the name list with his qi and immediately returned to his bedroom.
Although at his level, sleep was no longer a necessity, he was still a strength cultivator after all. Three meals a day and sleep. No harm came from having more of such habits.
Lying on the bed and letting his thoughts wander, not long after, Victor fell asleep.
When he opened his eyes, it was already the morning of the next day. Victor only felt a stench filling his nostrils. When he suddenly got up, he realized that the f*cking Three-legged Golden Crow was actually lying on his bed?
Moreover, this stench was probably the bird’s s.h.i.t on his own bed!
“You motherf*cker! Move!”
“F*ck! What the h.e.l.l are you doing so early in the morning! Can’t you let me have a good rest? You’re disturbing my dreams!”
“You! You’re sleeping on my bed, and you still have the nerve to scream?”
“F*ck your bed, isn’t this my bed?!”
The Three-legged Golden Crow flapped its wings and struggled to get up, but found that its bed was on the other side, so it subconsciously toned down.
