Ten minutes later, Ling Chen had gained the upper hand.
Xiao Huang's thousand-meter-long body was covered in wounds, its gushing blood forming small flowing rivers. The rage in its eyes had vanished, replaced by a dull lifelessness. It lacked the strength to even maintain the "Gale Flight," its once formidable life force dissipating, as if it had reached the end of its life.
More critically, the little spirit's death revival had been granted to the rabbit.
"Truly, it's damn hard!" Ling Chen muttered, a hint of shock in his eyes. His contracted spirit could ignore all defenses, yet it had taken so long to fight this battle, indicating the opponent's vigorous vitality. In short, its health bar was too long.
Ling Chen shook his head and said, "But it's finally over..."
At this moment, the demon general soared into the air, facing the large spherical entity before him. He slowly raised his right hand, the spear still dripping with colorless blood. Simultaneously, a terrifying soul force surged out, attaching itself to the spear, and an aura of death permeated the air.
"Gooje—"
Xiao Huang stared directly at the spear before it, understanding that it could not withstand this attack. Instinctively, it closed its eyes, memories flooding its mind. In its simple beastly life, there were only three most important things: eating, sleeping, and Chen Shu. In its memories, apart from eating and sleeping, were the moments spent living with Chen Shu.
"Xiao Huang..." Chen Shu patted Xiao Huang. In his human-spirit unity state, he could instantly perceive Xiao Huang's thoughts, and a trace of sadness welled up within him. For beast tamers, besides their contracted spirits, they also had family, friends, and teachers. But for contracted spirits, their master was their entire world in their simple lives.
At this moment, Ling Chen's cold voice cut through the air: "Farewell, Chen Shu. Today, I shall end your legend..."
Swish!
In an instant, the blood-stained black spear shot out, arriving before Xiao Huang in a flash.
"Gooje—"
Xiao Huang let out a soft roar and closed its dim eyes.
But at the critical moment of life and death, the black spear abruptly halted, as if grasped by an unseen giant hand! It had even pierced the slime's skin, but could not advance further!
"Huh?!" Ling Chen's heart leaped in surprise, not expecting such a twist at the crucial moment.
"Spatial power..." The demon general's gaze sharpened as he looked forward, a sense of unease instantly settling in his heart.
Roar!
Just then, a terrifying roar echoed, as if from ancient times, carrying the weight of ages. In the next second, a fearsome dragon's might permeated the surroundings. Fierce beasts within a hundred kilometers all collapsed onto the ground, as if paying homage to a former king. Ling Chen's contracted spirit, though not of the dragon race, still felt the oppressive force and instinctively retreated several hundred meters.
At this moment, a crimson rabbit suddenly appeared before the slime. The spatial rabbit was no longer struggling; the two volatile powers within its body had been suppressed, causing it no further pain. Its eyes were blood-red, but upon closer inspection, its pupils had transformed into golden vertical slits. Simultaneously, a pair of golden dragon wings had sprouted from its sides, covered in ancient and complex runes. And that terrifying dragon's might was emanating from it!
Roar!
Another ancient roar sounded, and a golden spectral image gradually materialized around the rabbit, exuding a terrifying aura! The spectral image was that of a colossal dragon with wings on its back, possessing the demeanor of a king! It was the legendary creature, Ying Long! Under the effects of the Ultimate Berserk Potion and Ling Chen's fifth contract, it had not only withstood the attack but its Ying Long bloodline had progressed further!
Meanwhile, in China, Xu Xingxing, resting at home, suddenly stood up. His beast-taming space automatically opened, and the mutated thunderbird swiftly flew out, its golden eyes gazing towards the distant horizon. It had actually sensed a Ying Long's aura, and it was not weaker than its own! In the past, the Ying Long had bestowed most of its power upon the mutated thunderbird, leaving only scraps for the spatial rabbit, which it couldn't absorb. However, the spatial rabbit had pushed the Ying Long bloodline to its extreme, even merging it with its own bloodline, forging its own legendary path.
At the capital of Lan Country,
"What the hell? It can evolve mid-battle?!" Ling Chen's expression was grim, his mind growing agitated. He was on the verge of ending the Southern River Bandit's legend, but a variable had emerged! Was this person truly unkillable? His thoughts began to waver, but at that moment, a powerful force resonated within his soul, steadying his mindset.
"Can't panic... I haven't used my full power yet..." Ling Chen thought of his fifth, almost invincible contracted spirit, and his restless mood immediately calmed. With a thought, he withdrew the enhancement force from the rabbit's body. Now that the rabbit was no longer in danger of exploding, he naturally wouldn't actively enhance an enemy's strength.
Yet, even without his enhancement, the rabbit's aura remained incredibly formidable! At this moment, the effects of the Ultimate Berserk Potion had not worn off, and with the power of its evolved bloodline, its strength had advanced even further! Ling Chen gazed at the Ying Long spectral image before him without any fear, muttering to himself, "What can a legend who fell long ago change?"
But in the next second, the demon general was suddenly sent flying, its battle armor even cracking under the strain of such an attack. The rabbit's blood-red eyes were cold, and it instantly reappeared above the demon general.
Boom!
Without hesitation, it slammed its carrot down fiercely, and more cracks appeared on its battle armor! The Ying Long spectral image enveloped it, empowering it with terrifying strength!
Bang bang bang!
The rabbit's figure vanished, but the sounds of impact continued to reverberate. The demon general was constantly flying around the battlefield, like a carelessly kicked soccer ball, completely unable to retaliate. Despite its frustration, it couldn't even lock onto the rabbit's trace! The opponent's speed was simply too great! Ying Long was once the king of the skies, possessing unparalleled speed, and the rabbit possessed the fastest spatial attribute. Combined, its speed had reached an unimaginable level.
