“What is this!?” Zhang Che’s pupils shrank, sensing a great danger approaching him rapidly.

Every time the purple lightning pounced, it would suddenly shoot over fifty meters forwards. In just three jumps, it was nearly upon Zhang Che, spending barely two seconds.

At that moment, Zhang Che could only reflexively bring the Mutated Puffersword up to his chest to defend himself. He didn’t have the time to move his feet.

This was all thanks to Zhang Che’s efforts over the past few days, practicing the basic movements of the sword routine Huang Tielan gifted him whenever he was free, that he had such a swift reaction.

A huge force suddenly hit him. Zhang Che only felt that a soft body collided into him, carrying a huge force behind it. He couldn’t resist it and fell backwards, rolling several times before coming to a stop.

Zhang Che also felt the Mutated Sword in his hand had sliced through something during that collision. A cool fluid splashed all over his face.

Zhang Che reached out to touch it. A sticky, purple-green fluid entered his sight, accompanied by a rotting smell. It was obviously from the thing that just knocked into him.

It was only now that Zhang Che reacted to this, a layer of cold sweat forming on his back. “Could this be a higher-class Maneater Leech!?”

He didn’t know that his action of reflexively raising the Mutated Puffersword had already saved his life. If it wasn’t for that block, that Maneater Leech of unknown strength would probably be latched onto him now, instantly sucking him dry.

With that subconscious action of his, not only was Zhang Che uninjured, that Maneater Leech was even hurt!

“Luckily the fluid from this thing isn’t corrosive or poisonous in nature. Otherwise, my handsome little face would be ruined!”

Zhang Che quickly crawled back to his feet apprehensively. After wiping off the purple-green fluid on his face, his feet started moving quickly.

At this moment, the purple figure was being held up by the Wind Shadow Wolf, and didn’t have the time to care about Zhang Che. It could also be because its attack failed and was even injured instead, so it had changed its target.

It was also at this moment that Zhang Che finally saw the true appearance of that thing.

It was indeed a Maneater Leech, but it was bigger than ordinary Maneater Leeches, and its skin an enchanting purple shade, with gold and silvery thin patterns all over, adding on to its bewitching aesthetics.

“Please forgive my tastes. I actually saw beauty in a water leech…” Zhang Che shook his head, expelling the weird thoughts from his head. His eyes, however, were shining golden rays of greed.

=========

“It’s actually a three-star silver-quality Maneater Leech King! No wonder it was so fast, and the Mutated Puffersword only sliced its skin open; its defense is super strong, indeed!

“A pity though, its not gold-quality…” The greedy Zhang Che was even picking on its quality, thinking that it was low. He didn’t even consider that if this fellow was indeed gold-quality as he wished, would he have been able to block that attack?

Would the Mutated Puffersword have hurt a three-star exotic beast that was similarly at gold-quality?

Zhang Che immediately realized his thoughts were too greedy. He shook his head and summoned his two other subdued beasts, ordering them to attack simultaneously, getting rid of the Maneater Leech King first before taking care of the pawns.

Currently, the Maneater Leech King and the Wind Shadow Wolf were tangling with each other. Facing the Maneater Leech King’s shockingly fast jumps, the Wolf’s speed and agility were finally showing signs of meeting its match.

“Awoooooo!”, the Wind Shadow Wolf let out a pained cry as the purple lightning slammed into its chest. Following that, the Maneater Leech King’s thick, soft body latched firmly onto the Wind Shadow Wolf. Its sharp yet tiny teeth opened a hole in its body effortlessly.

In just a few seconds of time, the Wind Shadow Wolf’s body dried up visibly.

“Shit, its so ferocious!” Zhang Che was astonished. -Luckily I blocked it earlier. Wouldn’t I be dead for sure, otherwise?-

He was different from his subdued beasts; no matter how severe their injuries were, as long as they didn’t die on the spot and dissipate, they could quickly recover after returning to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea, nourished by the rainbow fog.

There was only one path for the flesh and blood Zhang Che if he suffered such an injury, however, and that was death!

The Wind Shadow Wolf’s injury worsened extremely rapidly. Before the Fiery Scorpion and the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly reached them, the Wind Shadow Wolf couldn’t hang on any longer and turned into a streak of light, returning to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea.

The Maneater Leech King didn’t pause for a single moment after losing its target suddenly, and set its eyes on the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly as its next target. Its purple body shot out like a bolt of lightning into the air, ripping a large hole in the Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly’s wing.

The Psychedelic Ghost-Patterned Butterfly lost its balance and fell from the air, spinning, and turned into another streak of light, returning to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea.

With that, two of Zhang Che’s capable subdued beasts were heavily wounded, one after another.

Zhang Che was finally feeling a little flustered. Holding the Mutated Puffersword in his right hand, he stared at the Maneater Leech King, ready to defend himself from the opposite party’s lightning-fast pounce.

Fortunately, after having suffered a loss from Zhang Che, the Maneater Leech King obviously intended to get rid of his subdued beasts first. As such, it jumped toward the Fiery Scorpion next.

Naturally, the Fiery Scorpion wasn’t able to dodge such a high-speed pounce. Under Zhang Che’s order, it didn’t try to evade at all, and allowed the Maneater Leech King to latch onto its carapace. After which, its pincers snapped close and clamped down on the Maneater Leech King’s body.

The Fiery Scorpion’s carapace was obviously unable to withstand the Maneater Leech King’s gnawing, either. A wave of concentrated yet hurried biting sounds rang out. After that, the latter’s nearly dug its entire head into the Fiery Scorpion’s body.

However, the Fiery Scorpion successfully locked the Maneater Leech King onto its back, as well!

Zhang Che’s legs stamped violently on the ground, and he erupted out at the fastest speed he ever mustered, slashing at the Maneater Leech King’s body with all his might before the Fiery Scorpion turned into a streak of light.

“Chi!” the Maneater Leech King’s body was nearly cleaved into two by Zhang Che. The purple-green fluid splattered once more and stained his face, carrying that stench with it.

At the same time, the Fiery Scorpion couldn’t hold on any longer and turned into a streak of light, returning to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea. It transformed back into a beast card filled with cracks, devouring the abundant rainbow fog in his spiritual sea crazily to recover from its severe injuries.

With nothing restricting it anymore, the Maneater Leech King contracted its body to store up strength. Just as it was about to pounce at Zhang Che, a green arc of sword light swept through its body once more.

==[You Killed a Maneater Leech King. Obtained 12 Points of Soul Force. Obtained Maneater Leech King Card.]==

Hearing the notification, Zhang Che’s legs went limp and he fell on the ground.

This was the most dangerous and the toughest battle he had ever fought!

Although he had successfully slain the Maneater Leech King, his three subdued beasts were all heavily wounded. It could be said that it ended with both sides gravely wounded!
