Chapter 238: A Thorough Beating
Chapter 238: A Thorough Beating
Li Qian's face lit up with joy upon hearing this familiar voice.
He knew this voice all too well.
It was none other than Elder Li Suokuan from Zhonghai City's Teleportation Center.
As the voice sounded, a figure suddenly appeared.
The moment Li Suokuan appeared, his gaze fixed on a certain individual.
Upon seeing this, Elder Liao Bo's body shuddered, and he couldn't help but curse, "Damn it!"
Although he didn't know Li Suokuan, just from his dramatic entrance, it was clear that this guy was not someone he could match.
Instantly, he thought of retreating.
As much as he hated to admit it, he knew that if he retreated now, he would likely lose his chance at the Talent Blood Essence forever.
However, he was also aware that if he forcefully stayed, his life might be at stake.
"The green mountains remain, and the waters flow, you little brat, we'll meet again."
Elder Liao Bo was a decisive man.
After making up his mind, he didn't waste any time and took immediate action.
Li Qian saw him suddenly take out something that resembled an order talisman.
The talisman was instantly crushed in his hand.
Immediately, a strange white light appeared, enveloping his body.
Within this eerie white light, Li Qian could clearly see that Elder Liao Bo's body was becoming more and more illusory.
"Not good, he's trying to escape!"
Li Qian's heart raced as he witnessed this, and he immediately spoke up to warn him.
Hearing this, Li Suokuan smiled faintly, a look of disdain appearing on his face.
"To use a Void Teleportation Talisman in front of me, I wonder who gave you the courage."
The mocking words fell.
Just as Li Qian watched expectantly, a huge butterfly-like companion beast suddenly appeared.
It was the Phantom Void Butterfly, whom he had met once before.
The Phantom Void Butterfly appeared and gently flapped its wings.
As the wings fluttered, a silver-colored chain shot out at an astonishing speed.
The chain passed through Elder Liao Bo's body, which was now glowing with white light.
Li Qian was slightly taken aback, as this seemingly extraordinary silver chain didn't seem to cause any harm to the latter.
"Hahaha..." Elder Liao Bo couldn't help but laugh wildly at this sight.
"So, it's just a silver-plated lead bullet!"
Elder Liao Bo laughed without restraint, but this laughter didn't last long and soon came to an abrupt halt.
He finally realized that the one-time use Void Teleportation Talisman had been interrupted by the sudden appearance of the man before him.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
His heart was filled with terror.
Unable to teleport away, he was now truly at the mercy of his captor.
As Elder Liao Bo's laughter abruptly stopped, Li Suokuan, who had appeared out of nowhere, smirked.
"Laugh, keep laughing, why did you stop?"
Hearing this, Elder Liao Bo's body trembled, and his voice shook, "Esteemed Elder... if I say... all of this... is a misunderstanding... will you believe me?"
A forced smile appeared on his face, but it looked even worse than crying.
"Pfft!"
Li Qian couldn't help but chuckle at this, "Old dog, weren't you just acting all cocky? Why stop now?"
Li Qian's words made Elder Liao Bo's face darken with anger.
Without hesitation, he gave the order in his mind.
The next moment, four companion beasts, including the Demon Boy who had been blasted into the wall by the shockwave, charged forward fearlessly.
They abandoned their original opponents and collectively targeted Li Qian.
As for Sun Ruirui, her companion beast, the Golden Wind, with its Emperor-level racial potential, had already reached the Overlord rank in strength. It was impossible for it to break through to a higher level in a short time.
Therefore, Liao Bo directly set his sights on Li Qian.
In his opinion, as long as he took Li Qian, a cultivation genius, hostage, the newly appeared mysterious powerful being would be hesitant to act, giving him a glimmer of hope for survival.
This was Liao Bo's plan, but reality proved that it was just a delusion.
The Phantom Void Butterfly's eyes, like sapphires, suddenly glinted, and then Liao Bo's four companion beasts—the Blue Cotton Bird, Demon Boy, Night Shadow Dog, and Poisonous Frog—were enveloped in a silver light.
Right before Li Qian's astonished eyes, the four beasts, covered in silver radiance, rose into the air uncontrollably.
"Wuuu... Kokoko... Woof woof woof... Waaa..." The four beasts, controlled by the Phantom Void Butterfly, soared uncontrollably and then, like meteors, plummeted at an incredible speed.
"BOOOOM!"
The four beasts crashed to the ground, instantly creating four terrifying explosions.
The dust that rose up suddenly obscured the view of an entire area.
"Pfft!"
At the moment of the explosion, Liao Bo spat out a mouthful of dark red blood.
Visibly, his entire aura weakened.
Observing this, Li Qian could roughly determine that the previous attack must have inflicted severe injuries on the four beasts.
Most likely, they had lost their fighting ability or even entered a near-death state; otherwise, such severe contract backlash wouldn't have occurred.
After swiftly dealing with Liao Bo and his four companion beasts, Li Suokuan confirmed that they were no longer a threat. He turned to Li Qian and said, "Kid, leave this to me. I'll handle this place."
Then, with a flash of his figure, he disappeared, saying, "I'll go check out another spot."
"Squeak squeak..." Seeing this, Li Qian clenched his fist, a cruel smile tugging at his lips.
"Such a perfect opportunity to beat down a defeated enemy, how can I let it go? Beat him up, hard!"
As his words fell, he charged forward.
Fist after fist, as big as sandbags, rained down relentlessly.
After a while, Li Suokuan returned and, seeing the badly beaten Liao Bo, clicked his tongue.
When Li Qian noticed Li Suokuan's return, he immediately asked, "Senior Li, how's the situation over there?"
Li Suokuan replied with some regret, "I was just a little late. The guy over there fought desperately and escaped."
Then, he added, "But I hit him with one strike, so he must have suffered some injuries. He won't be in good shape either."
He then turned his gaze to Sun Ruirui, "By the way, this young lady's condition doesn't look good..."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but frown.
He could discern the girl's problem, but as he wasn't a formation master, he couldn't solve it.
