Astral Pet Store

Chapter 395 1.36 Seconds!

Everyone shifted their gaze to Su Ping, trying to find some traces of embarrassment and panic on the young man’s face. But no, the young man was just as calm as he always was. No one could tell what he was thinking.

The two elders were sneering inwardly because they believed that Su Ping was just pretending and that they could already tell what the results would be.

At the moment, Xie Gange as well as his six battle pets at the peak of the ninth-rank were on guard, highly alerted. He could even survive even if all the bombs of the Longjiang Base City exploded over him!

Not even a legendary battle pet warrior could defeat Xie Gange within three seconds!

Xie Gange was at the peak of the titled rank and was renowned all over the Subcontinent District. He wasn’t just anyone!

Su Ping would hurt himself by his own doing. He had been too arrogant!

“Are you ready?” Su Ping asked Xie Gange coldly.

Xie Gange sneered. “You can start at any time now!”

Su Ping darted him an indifferent look but said nothing else. He took out his phone, pulled up the stopwatch, and sent an order full of killing intent to the Little Skeleton.

Sparing no effort to defeat him!

The Little Skeleton had been standing in the air, quietly. All of a sudden, two beams of crimson light broke out from the Little Skeleton’s dark eye sockets!

The dark energy slowly wafted out like a mist, clinging to the bones of the Little Skeleton like twisted tentacles. The dark energy grew stronger and expanded rapidly, enveloping the Little Skeleton entirely.

A heavy smell of death filled the air, accompanied by the smell of blood. Even the people standing outside could perceive the smell of blood, which was too pungent to be tolerable. Everyone looked shocked.

A gale began to flow!

A dark hurricane came into being out of nowhere on that land of bones. The hurricane spun around the Little Skeleton; a shadow was emerging behind it, becoming more and more tangible, until the shadow formed a figure that was as towering as a mountain. The figure seemed to be sitting on a throne that was located in another space and time zone and the figure was looking down on the world! The magnificent Skeleton King!!

Not even the barrier of time and space could stop the Skeleton King’s spirit from spreading across!

The Little Skeleton that was in front of the magnificent Skeleton King was gaining momentum. It was as if the Little Skeleton were wearing the skin of a god, of a demon. The bone blade emitted a dark glow that could devour the light and the blade had enlarged to over a dozen meters long!

Killing intent. Burning flames!

There seemed to be a trace of golden color in the Little Skeleton’s crimson eye sockets. The Little Skeleton raised its head and stared at the strong man that hid behind the six huge battle pets.

Then, Xie Gange and the Little Skeleton made eye contact!

That violent killing intent assaulted his mind. He felt he was hearing countless demons crying, numerous ghosts screaming and he could see skeletons struggling to stand up. That was the view… of hell!

Was this skeleton pet from hell?!

Xie Gange was frightened. At that moment, he sensed he was isolated. His blood was freezing!

“Begin!”

It was Su Ping shouting.

At the same time, he pressed start on the stopwatch.

Here it was!

Three seconds!

Xie Gange readied himself. With strong willpower, he broke free from all those messy thoughts in his mind. Instantly, he gave orders to his pets. A second before, he had thought that defending would be easy for him. But right after, he had unknowingly become nervous before knowing

The Little Skeleton made a step forward and suddenly a roar broke out!

Roar!!!

Behind the Little Skeleton, the Skeleton King was growling as well and that noise was shaking the sky and the earth!

The six battle pets standing around Xie Gange and Xie Gange himself felt an urge to get down on the ground after this roar which had disturbed their hearts and minds.

The energy contained in the roar was hard to imagine!

The sky seemed to be falling because of it!

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

An almost transparent seal came into being. That was a legendary rank protection that could stop anything from using teleporting skills. The seal had been set up by Xie Gange beforehand just to guard against the Little Skeleton.

Skills such as the Little Skeleton’s sudden teleporting were usually fatal for titled battle pet warriors, but this seal would render those skills ineffective.

However, the Little Skeleton didn’t move. The Little Skeleton didn’t flash away! Faced with countless seals and shields, the Little Skeleton slowly raised its blade.

The Little Skeleton raised the more than ten-meter-long dark blade high!

It seemed that the magnificent Skeleton King was holding a blade in his hands as well!

Slash!!!

The Little Skeleton wielded the huge blade. It waved the blade while it was half an arena away from its opponent!

That blade had a dark color but the moment the Little Skeleton waved it, the blade seemed to be able to light up the world!

Stunning. Extraordinary. No words could describe that slash.

The blade took away all the light and all the elements. The only thing people could see with their eyes was the dark glow emitted by the sword.

Venerable the Blade stared with his mouth agape.

What was that?!

On the other side of the arena, Xie Gange was visibly terrified. He felt the blade could cut up his soul!

Bang!!! Something cracked all of a sudden. Those transparent seals, shields, and protective layers were all cut into pieces by that blade!

Nothing could stop it!

Like a bulldozer, the blade was swept across everything. Merely one instant had passed when all the defense layers were destroyed.

All those defensive layers which had been set up by ninth-rank skills… All of them fell apart like pieces of foam.

Bang!!

The mutated Silver-Winged Dragon standing before Xie Gange was a layer of defense as well!

However, the moment the blade touched the dragon, the armor covering the dragon broke. The blade whooshed on, easily cutting up the dragon’s metallic wing! The dragon’s scales that should be indestructible turned as fragile as a piece of paper!

The blade was still advancing!!

Roar!!

A pet of the element family bellowed and dashed over. Bolts of lightning were glaring over the pet. The bolt of lightning crashed into the blade but the blade smashed the pet away.

There was a huge, diagonal cut across the pet’s chest, a cut that almost halved the pet!

There wasn’t enough time for the other battle pets to react.

Everything happened too quickly!

Xie Gange was horrified. He witnessed how all the protective layers had been torn to pieces, and the special astral shield he had built up himself was also breaking.

They all cracked as if made of glass. Only the residual energy told him that those shields had once existed.

During that terrifying moment, even sound had vanished.

Run!

Run away from it!!

Pff!

Blood spurted out. Xie Gange made a turn to the side. He thought the blade was still some distance away from him, when in fact, the blade had already reached him. An arm was hurled up into the air.

The pain had yet to reach his brain. Xie Gange felt a chill, coming from the bottom of his feet to the top of his head.

There was a bone blade in front of his forehead! The point of the blade was aiming at his forehead!

The Little Skeleton should have been half an arena away; that was where it had been a second before. However, at this moment, the Little Skeleton had reached him, after it cracked all the defense layers!

The magnificent Skeleton King remained standing behind the Little Skeleton.

The power from the Skeleton King made the six battle pets tremble with fright!

“Stop!” someone said.

It was Su Ping

Never in his life did Xie Gange realize that a man’s voice could be that beautiful. That raging killing intent receded at once. But the skeleton was still standing in front of him and the blade was still pointed at his forehead.

The blade was too close to him. He would never be able to escape!

Whoosh!

Su Ping flew over and landed by Xie Gange.

Su Ping showed Xie Gange the stopwatch. “Look at the time. We can try again if you’re dissatisfied about the result.”

Xie Gange read the number.

1.36 seconds!

Less than two seconds!

Xie Gange’s face was clouded. He was not questioning Su Ping’s stopwatch. After all, he knew what happened. The skeleton had only wielded its blade once!

Time no longer mattered. He was sure that he couldn’t have survived that slash!
