As the arrow was discharged, everyone became jittery!
Everyone, including the participants in the staging area, the higher-ups of the major families sitting in the front rows, and those from the municipal government found the arrow frightful.
They had sensed danger from the arrow, which contained different kinds of energy!
How was that even possible?!
All the powerful ones from the major families and the government were titled battle pet warriors? How could they feel stressed out in front of this dragon?
On the stage.
The judge was the closest to the match, aside from the actual participants. He, too, felt the arrow was dangerous. A gut feeling told him that he wouldn’t be able to stop the arrow unless he exerted his full strength!
He paled after such a realization.
He was a titled battle pet warrior and that was just a match between two young people. How could anyone use any skill that he could not deal with?
Could it be that… the skill was even mightier than those displayed at the ninth-rank?
Killing intent!
Qin Shaotian felt a gruesome killing intent!
Because of that killing intent, he shuddered in terror as if he had become the target of a hunter.
The source of that killing intent came from the arrow on which different sorts of energy converged. He had a feeling that the space around the arrow was twisted and the arrow could disrupt everything. I cannot let the arrow hit me!
But…
Do I have to resort to my ace card right now?
Roar!!
Bang!!
The Moonfrost Dragon let out a sudden roar. The Arrow of Wind was discharged abruptly. There was a piercing, deafening noise accompanying the traveling arrow! It seemed that countless invisible and minuscule bits of substance suddenly burst in front of the arrow, followed by a shot that was fast to the extreme. Even an advanced battle pet warrior could not capture that blur, a blur that could bring about destruction!
No!
The judge was jolted awake. The arrow was targeting Qin Shaotian. If Qin Shaotian were to die there, he, as the judge, would be accused of dereliction of duty. He would never be able to offer a valid explanation to the Qin Family.
However, the judge’s body was not able to follow his mind. The arrow was too fast. It was too late!
No…
Boom!!
The stage shook violently as well as the entire venue!
Countless brilliant lights were gathered and burst out in a shining glow! Scorching air flows, lightning, thunder, hurricanes and dust storms, all kinds of manifestations akin to apocalyptic scenes appeared on the stage, and completely submerged Qin Shaotian and the Lava Dragon in front of him!
All the people in the audience had lost their voices and the ability to react. That was the true power of a ninth-rank skill!
If it were not for the seal, they believed that the arrow would penetrate the entire venue!!
Roar!!
Before the scene of destruction could go away, and while everyone was still in shock because of the power of the arrow, a furious roar suddenly came out from the dust storm, with hysterical madness and viciousness, shaking the entire stage!
Immediately afterward, all the chaotic energy suddenly disappeared, as if swept away by an invisible big palm. Two majestic and hideous figures appeared, one tall and one short. The shorter one was the Lava Dragon standing beside Qin Shaotian. At the moment, the Lava Dragon was crouching on the ground. Crawling on the ground, to be more exact.
A huge hole that penetrated its entire body appeared on its chest!
Luckily, the hole missed its heart. Therefore, the Lava Dragon survived and was still breathing.
Behind the hole in its chest were several sharp dark purple blades. Those blades were intertwined like a shield with burning and freezing marks left on it.
The original form of that sharp blade was a hideous figure covered in black and purple, with a height of seven or eight meters. In terms of height, it was similar to the Moonfrost Dragon, but since this figure was human-like, it appeared to be even more slender than the Moonfrost Dragon. The creepiest thing was that the thing’s arms and the rest of its body had sharp blades, tentacles, hooks, fangs, and strange mouths. Looking at the dark silhouette, one would mistake it for a beggar wearing rags. But the true form of those “strips” was extremely unsettling
Everyone was able to see that devilish figure.
For a moment, the entire venue was as silent as a grave.
That was…
The judge felt his heart had skipped a beat. He was yelling to himself, “Has the Qin Family lost their mind? Why would they give such a thing to their young master?!”
Why?!
The dark purple battle pet emerging in front of everyone was of the demon family, which was evident from its hideous look.
That pet was not just any random pet of the demon family. Of all the ninth-rank battle pets, it was the second most violent, the Bloody Servant!
What was such a pet capable of?
It meant that when the Bloody Servant reached its peak, of all the beasts at the peak of the ninth rank, the Bloody Servant would be considered intimidating. Only a handful of beasts, or only those above it at the legendary level were able to overwhelm the Bloody Servant!
The Bloody Servant was even rarer than the Inferno Dragon!
That being said… no one was envious of the master of a Bloody Servant. The more terrifying thing about the Bloody Servant other than its cruelty was the fact that owning the pet could backfire on the master!
A long time in the past, there was this saying among battle pet warriors and that saying was later recorded in the textbooks. It went like this: if you have a Bloody Servant, when you are seriously injured and on the verge of dying, you’d better not summon this pet because it will only make your death come sooner and in a more tragic way! After the Bloody Servants began to be taken as battle pets, the tragedies happening because of owning them had been many.
They would either harm their masters or lose control in battle!
When the Bloody Servants lost control in a battle, they would not harm their masters but they would hurt those around the battle pet warrior. In some matches, the rules stipulated that the participants whose battle pet lost control would lose their matches by default!
Such a battle pet, which was almost forbidden from appearing, was actually in the Longjiang Base City, right there on the stage. The pet’s owner was a young master from the Qin Family, a young man with a promising future!
The judge could not understand this at all. He was not the only one confused. Under the stage, at the front rows, many powerful warriors from the major families and the government were sending curious looks to the Qin Family
They all saw the old man of the Qin Family wearing a smile and a mysterious look on his weathered face.
“That man…”
“So it is. Dumb dogs are dangerous!”
“Qin Family…”
They discussed for a bit and then turned their focus back to the stage.
Those at the staging area were still in silence. They were so frightened that their mouths hung ajar. No one had expected that they would see such a pet there.
The Bloody Servant!
Good heavens.
Was this Qin Shaotian’s ace card?!
The members of the Liu Family were taken aback.
Especially Liu Jianxin. He felt both scared and glad.
Yes, he was the lucky one.
Luck was part of one’s strength as well. It was good that he didn’t have to fight this freak. He wasn’t sure whether he could fight a Lava Dragon while dealing with a monster that could lose control at any second.
The calmness had faded away from Liu Qingfeng’s face. There was a grim look in his eyes and he was biting his teeth. They were both young masters in their respective families but Qin Shaotian and his Bloody Servant had made Liu Qingfeng understand that behind an able man there were always other able men.
He had not fought against Qin Shaotian yet but he knew that the chance of him winning was slim.
He would have to count on miracles to win!
“Damn it…”
He clenched his fists.
At the same time, those of the Ye Family were still in shock.
“I thought I was crazy enough. But the Qin Family…”
Ye Longtian mumbled to himself. Fear was visible in his eyes. He hadn’t been considering Qin Shaotian as one of his most formidable enemies for the following matches!
Qin Shaotian was a dangerous man indeed!
The will to fight was burning in Ye Longtian. Come on and let’s fight!
To the Mu Family. The Liu Family disciples looked awful.
The one who was defeated by Qin Shaotian was shivering. In the meantime, he was happy to see that Qin Shaotian did not summon this thing to fight him. Otherwise, whether he could make it back alive would have been uncertain.
Of course, given his strength, Qin Shaotian didn’t have the need to use the Bloody Servant on him. The Lava Dragon would have been more than enough. “Look at the size and the energy of the Bloody Servant… It should be close to the ninth rank,” a strong-built young man said after a moment of silence.
He was sitting next to Mu Chen as the latter’s guardian.
At the same time, he was regarded as the one most likely to win the championship.
He was… Mu Yuanshou! “The pet’s rank is twice as high as that of Qin Shaotian’s. That is the best a human’s spirit can manage,” Mu Chen mumbled in shock. To master a pet at a rank twice as high would mean the pet could easily get out of control, not to mention the pet was the most brutal and ruthless of all pets from the demon family.
It was as if Qin Shaotian were carrying a bomb that could explode and hurt both himself and others at the same time!
Why would the Qin Family put him at such risk?
Mu Chen could not understand.
“Soon, the No.1 academy in the Subcontinent District will start the new semester. Is the Qin Family planning on…”
An idea popped into Mu Chen’s mind. He seemed to have found an answer. He felt the pressure. If Qin Shaotian could achieve what he wanted, then for the following decades, the Qin Family would become stronger than ever!
By then, it would be hard to say whether the Mu Family would be able to keep their present status.
It would be uncertain, whether there would be a place for the Mu Family.
Back on the stage.
As the Bloody Servant came out, a chilly air had been cast over the entire stage.
The horrifying pet silenced many people. Although knowing that the seal could protect them, many people still decided to hold their breaths.
As the Bloody Servant got rid of the shield it had made out of its claws, Qin Shaotian emerged behind the Bloody Servant. There was not a scratch on him. However, he no longer appeared to be as carefree as before. He wore a grave expression and cold killing intent came into his eyes!
“Tear it apart!”
Qin Shaotian drew his blade slowly. The Bloody Servant which was standing there quietly raised its head. At first glance, its head looked like a human head, but then its face began to show cracks. Those weren’t scars. Sharp teeth were slightly exposed. Its entire head could be “opened” to eat the prey in one bite!
At this moment, above its head, from where the “human eyes” should be, two scarlet rays of light slowly emerged, which became brighter and brighter. The Bloody Servant gradually revealed its bloodthirsty, cruel, and hideous nature.
To tear it apart…
Whoosh!
The Bloody Servant shook slightly and then it dashed out.
Even without the Wind Siren’s help, the Bloody Servant was so fast that people could only see a blur. Since the Bloody Servant was at a high rank, the Wind Siren’s help would be of little use.
Along the way… the cracked ground looked as if it were being cut by blades made of air currents, and a white wave of air was set off. The air currents caused by movement alone were already fatal!
In an instant, the Bloody Servant had reached the Moonfrost Dragon.
Those under the ninth rank would think that the Bloody Servant had teleported.
The crimson eyes that were full of cruelty and the silver eyes of a dragon made contact.
