Capítulo 1401: Chapter 1401: I Just Wanted to Test Your Combat Strength (Update 1)
Rumble~
In mid-air, a massive mushroom cloud slowly rose up.
“Damn! This almost matches the power of a nuclear bomb!”
Ye Haochuan looked at the mushroom cloud in front of him, patted his chest in relief, and glanced back over his shoulder.
Behind Ye Haochuan, the entire bee swarm was frozen, from the Core Formation Peak Purple Lightning Bee Queen to the weakest Innate Early Stage juvenile Purple Lightning Bees. Their mouths were agape, eyes wide open.
They looked at Ye Haochuan, then at the distant mushroom cloud, then at the two dumbfounded Tianyuan bears on the ground, not knowing what to do.
“Little brother, how… how did you do that?”
It was the Purple Lightning Bee Queen who came to her senses first. Trembling, she asked in shock.
“Hehe, it’s nothing special, just an illusion technique.”
Ye Haochuan chuckled lightly, speaking with an air of nonchalance.
“Nothing special… just…”
The Purple Lightning Bee Queen nearly went mad, using an illusion technique to affect two Nascent Soul Early Stage Tianyuan bears, making them use their ultimate moves against each other in an empty place. If this doesn’t count as something, wouldn’t that make her even less significant?
At this moment, she was even more grateful for her initial decision. This Ye Haochuan may look young and his cultivation level low, but his combat power and tactics are endlessly surprising.
“Boss… boss… did we miss?”
Xiong Lie finally came to his senses, gazing at the mushroom cloud in the sky with disbelief all over his face.
This Heavenly Primordial Annihilating Strike had drained almost all his and Xiong Zhuang’s spiritual energy, aiming for a one-hit kill, yet they had missed!
“Impossible! I clearly aimed for it?”
Xiong Zhuang was also dumbfounded, his gigantic bear face twisted, looking a hundred times worse than if he had eaten something distasteful.
“Boss, what do we do now?”
Xiong Lie quietly edged closer, nervously saying, “Maybe we should run quickly, their formation is about to be complete!”
“Alright!”
Hearing this, Xiong Zhuang snapped back to reality, looked at Ye Haochuan, then at the regrouping Purple Lightning Bee Swarm, and nodded without hesitation.
At this moment, the spiritual energy in him and Xiong Lie had been squandered. Even if they wanted to attack, they couldn’t, not to mention, there’s an unpredictable human in front of the swarm.
Hmm? Could it be this human?
Seeing Ye Haochuan, Xiong Zhuang suddenly recalled that before unleashing his ultimate move, the human seemed to have done something to them. However, the arrow was already on the bow, so he couldn’t stop it.
Since nothing happened afterward, he didn’t give it much thought and released the move. Now thinking back, it must have been that guy named Ye Haochuan who did something.
“Boss, why are you still hesitating? Their formation is almost ready; we should run!”
Xiong Lie saw Xiong Zhuang looking at the human with a flickering gaze but not moving, and he immediately became anxious.
“Go!”
Xiong Zhuang finally reacted. In times like this, escaping is crucial. Why bother thinking about such things?
With that, the two giant bears took large strides and ran swiftly in the direction they had come from.
“Thinking of running?”
Ye Haochuan lightly shouted, raising the Divine Concealment Sword in his hand, about to give chase.
“Little brother, you rest first; leave the rest to us!”
At that moment, the voice of the Purple Lightning Bee Queen came from behind Ye Haochuan, and then he saw a giant, pulsating with infinite purple lightning, chasing after the two fleeing Tianyuan bears.
“Wow! This form is seriously cool!”
Ye Haochuan watched the giant. Its appearance was identical to the Purple Lightning Bee Queen, even the delicate wings on its back were the same, looking like a magnified version of the Purple Lightning Bee Queen.
Tiny streaks of purple electricity converged on the giant Purple Lightning Bee Queen, forming a set of armor with a metallic texture, but Ye Haochuan knew that these weren’t truly metal armor.
In addition, there was a gigantic electric needle gripped in its hand, with terrifying purple currents jumping relentlessly across it.
For real?
Ye Haochuan sensed it, finding that the giant formed by over five hundred thousand Purple Lightning Bees was comparable to a Nascent Soul Mid-Stage in might, instantly sparking his curiosity.
At this moment, the enormous Purple Lightning Bee Queen gently flapped its wings, easily overtaking Xiong Zhuang and Xiong Lie, who had a head start, and blocked their path.
The two thirty-meter-tall giant bears looked like tiny babies in front of the enormous Purple Lightning Bee Queen, utterly insignificant.
They craned their heads, looking up at the towering Purple Lightning Bee Queen, hurriedly kneeling down and begging for mercy.
“Xiong Zhuang, Xiong Lie, I won’t kill you today, but you must make a blood oath never to be enemies with us Purple Lightning Bees again.”
Fortunately, the Purple Lightning Bee Queen was merciful, not annihilating them completely, only requiring them to make a blood oath before letting them go.
“Little brother, come home with me!”
After dealing with the two giant bears, the enormous Purple Lightning Bee Queen came before Ye Haochuan, waved a hand, as if to take him away.
“Wait a minute!”
Ye Haochuan quickly dodged to the side, avoiding the giant’s hand. Thankfully, the giant’s movements were light, not meaning to harm him, so he was allowed to move away.
“Little brother, what’s wrong? You don’t want to give me the Divine Thunder Origin Liquid anymore?”
Afterward, the giant’s heart churned, revealing the Purple Lightning Bee Queen inside with a frown on her face.
“No, Sister Empress, I just want to test your combat strength.”
Battle intent flared in Ye Haochuan’s eyes, burning fiercely. The previous battle with the two giant bears, neither too hard nor soft, left him unsatisfied.
Moreover, he wanted to see just how formidable the giant was and exactly how much of a threat it posed to him.
Otherwise, going with the Purple Lightning Bee Queen without knowing the full story would mean being at their mercy should something go awry.
After all, throughout history, only when the powers are equal can there be relatively fair transactions.
“What? Are you saying you want to duel with me?”
The Purple Lightning Bee Queen was a bit taken aback by Ye Haochuan’s words, prompting her to ask again.
“That’s right! I’d like to test how formidable your formation really is.”
Ye Haochuan nodded, raising the Divine Concealment Sword in his hand and smiling, “Of course, it’s just for fun. Sister Empress, please don’t go all-out!”
“Hehe, little brother, you really are amusing. Fine, I’ll play with you for a bit!”
The Purple Lightning Bee Queen thought for a moment, agreed to Ye Haochuan’s request, and then the chest of the giant stirred, shielding her once again.
“Here I come!”
As her voice trailed off, the massive Purple Lightning Bee Queen slowly thrust the Lightning Long Needle toward Ye Haochuan.
Ding~
There was a soft clink as Ye Haochuan casually deflected the long needle, somewhat speechless, saying, “I say, Sister Purple Lightning Bee Queen, you’re too gentle, aren’t you?”
“Hehe, then I’ll use a bit of force.”
The Purple Lightning Bee Queen giggled, controlling the giant to raise the long needle in its hand, then shouted clearly, “Watch out, this move Flash Thunder has a slight tracking ability and is extremely fast, so be careful not to get hit!”
