Chapter 385: The Icy King, the Leopard of Banto
Chapter 385: The Icy King, the Leopard of Banto
The rioters numbered around ten, quite a few, but as they rushed forward, their bold and reckless behavior was a bit excessive, and they had already been intercepted by the guards in the city seven or eight times.
In the end, only two people and their three pets managed to reach the front of the competition venue.
"Such a reckless and suicidal attack is unlike your usual style." In front of the venue, the middle-aged Governor slowly rose, speaking in a calm and steady tone.
His voice was cold as ice, devoid of any emotion.
The two glanced at each other and without hesitation, immediately ordered their three pets to pounce forward.
The light of the summoning array flashed and disappeared, and a blue-and-white striped tiger suddenly leaped out, blocking the path of the three pets.
As soon as the tiger appeared, the surrounding temperature dropped by several degrees.
From its aura and outward display of power, it was clear that this tiger possessed the attribute of ice.
In fact, it was indeed so.
At this moment, if Li Qian were outside the venue instead of inside, he would undoubtedly recognize it as a Leopard of Banto.
The Leopard of Banto is a ruler of the snowy mountains, an extremely powerful companion beast with an ice attribute, and its racial potential reaches the Emperor Rank.
"Attack!" The Leopard of Banto, exuding a dignified aura, leaped out from the beastmaster's space, and with a wave of the middle-aged Governor's hand, the tiger fearlessly charged towards the enemies and directly launched an attack.
The three companion beasts were all of the Overlord Rank, and even with three against one, it was only a brief clash before they were suppressed by the Leopard of Banto.
"An Emperor Rank beastmaster is indeed here!" One of the two attackers, both dressed in black with masked faces, spoke up after the initial clash, his voice heavy with realization.
The other one tentatively asked, "Did those Sun True Flames and Tide Sea Spirits come from here?!"
A mocking smile appeared on the middle-aged Governor's square face, "Do you want to know? Unfortunately, you won't have the chance."
As he spoke, he had already given his companion beast a command, "Leopard of Banto, give them a taste of your power! Eternal Freeze Domain!"
Upon receiving the beastmaster's order, the Leopard of Banto unleashed its skill without hesitation, and three intense blue lights shot out with unstoppable force.
Three blue lights shot out, carrying with them an astonishingly low temperature, and wherever they passed, even the cement ground was covered in a layer of white frost.
"Hmm, that's strange, why did the temperature drop so suddenly?" Inside the venue, Li Qian had just opened a cultivation room, allowing the evolution light to flood the dome. He shivered slightly and spoke in a puzzled tone.
Shaking his head, he dismissed the unnecessary thoughts, "Forget it, don't worry about it. Just focus on doing my job."
With that, he stepped into another cultivation room.
Li Qian wasn't overly concerned about his safety.
This place should be 100% safe, and if it were breached, it would only prove that the officials were all useless.
In fact, the officials weren't useless, or at least not entirely.
Outside the venue, the battle continued. Three blinding blue lights shot out, and just as the square-faced middle-aged Governor thought he could strike a decisive blow, something unexpected happened.
Three equally blinding light gray energy pillars shot out from behind the two attackers at an extremely fast speed.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
As expected, the three blinding blue lights were intercepted by three equally blinding light gray lights.
The light collided, creating a surge of energy and a rather loud explosion, followed by a mutual cancellation, leaving no trace of their presence.
The middle-aged Governor's gaze focused on the direction from which the pale gray light had originated, and there, an old witch-like figure suddenly appeared.
"Ghost Witch!" The middle-aged Governor instantly recognized the identity of this figure.
The Ghost Witch was a Spirit-type and Poison-type dual-attribute Companion Beast with potential reaching the Emperor Rank.
"Zha Kun, the seventh elder of the Black God Sect!" The middle-aged Governor narrowed his eyes and spoke in a cold and stern tone.
"Hong Bing, what a coincidence. I didn't expect it to be you guarding this place." An old man with wrinkles all over his face, not looking much better than the Ghost Witch, strolled out.
"The place inside should be where the Sunbird and Tidal Sea Spirit evolve, right?" Zha Kun smiled, his voice sounding like rusted metal sheets rubbing against each other.
"Let me guess, the breeder isn't that... Li Qian, who evolved the Sunbird in the Freshman Challenge Competition!" Zha Kun sneered.
"Such a genius, truly enviable. But as you know, my favorite thing to do is to crush geniuses, especially those from your Beastmaster University."
Zha Kun's words were filled with threats, and Hong Bing, the middle-aged Governor, couldn't help but frown upon hearing them.
Noticing Zha Kun's signal to his three subordinates to charge in, Hong Bing directly mocked, "You, a newly ascended Emperor, have only one Emperor-rank Companion Beast, and yet you dare to bark so arrogantly here."
"Hong Bing, you're not much better yourself... As far as I know, you only have two Emperor-rank Companion Beasts!" Zha Kun retorted without backing down.
"That's not something you can stop with your futile resistance!" Hong Bing took a step forward, and the light of the Summoning Array flashed again, summoning another Companion Beast out of thin air, which turned out to be another Emperor-rank Companion Beast—the Basa Beast.
The Basa Beast, with Ice and Wood dual attributes, had a body alternating between blue and green, resembling neither a deer nor a sheep, and looked quite peculiar.
"Since you've decided to intercept, I've naturally made some preparations." Zha Kun smiled faintly, waved his hand again, and summoned another Companion Beast.
"The Emperor-rank Four-Winged Fallen Angel with Dark and Curse dual attributes!"
Upon seeing the Companion Beast summoned by Zha Kun, Hong Bing's expression turned somewhat ugly.
He stared straight at Zha Kun, "With those three fools under your command, defeating my guards here is nothing but a pipe dream."
He was testing the waters, wanting to see what made Zha Kun so fearless.
"Then what are you worried about?" Zha Kun heard Hong Bing's words and laughed mockingly.
Just as the two were talking, a "Boom, boom" sound suddenly rang out, coming from the explosions within the venue.
"Thorn Assassinate!" Hong Bing sensed some skill's energy fluctuations from the explosions, and his expression became very ugly.
There was a traitor among the four guards, no wonder Zha Kun was so brazen.
This was bad; he had to end the battle here quickly.
With a traitor among them, Li Qian and his friend from the Central Sea Beastmaster University might truly be in danger.
He couldn't afford to delay!
And, to be honest, this situation was his fault for being too careless.
If the higher-ups were to investigate, he would be held accountable!
