Chapter 640: Glory of the Flare! Farewell, Akagohanten!
"Ah!"
Sharp screams echoed throughout the vicinity of the mall as numerous rays of light suddenly appeared.
However, neither the giant wolf that had appeared out of nowhere nor the white python paid any attention to the cries of the pedestrians. They didn't even care about the lives of these bystanders.
This was the top-tier mall in Cherry Capital.
Within its premises, it was a place where invaluable beast companion resources and young beast companions were sold.
It was common knowledge that the merchants and customers here were no ordinary people.
In this world, there was no shortage of wealthy individuals.
But at this moment, after the appearance of two Imperial-level beast companions, the lives of these people were no different from those they considered inferior,
not worth mentioning.
The two assassins exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock and reaction in each other's eyes.
As top-tier assassins of the Akagari Family, they naturally understood that the ability to summon beast companions in the first place, and such powerful ones at that, indicated that their assassination attempt had been anticipated.
However, at this point, knowing this wouldn't change anything.
Moreover, it was just a sudden appearance of a giant wolf, one that had never been seen before, and even if it was Imperial-level, what could they do? Both assassins were also Imperial-level, and the two white pythons they summoned were far from ordinary.
The white pythons, Imperial-level beast companions from the Yatsufu Clan, could even evolve into the renowned Three-Headed White Myouwan of the Holy Spirit Rank.
Such a powerful being inherently possessed combat strength far beyond that of a typical Imperial-level beast companion.
Therefore, the mere appearance of this giant wolf was clearly not enough to deter their plans.
Even with their knowledge, they couldn't identify what kind of beast companion this wolf was.
Almost immediately sensing their master's intent, the two giant pythons showed no signs of retreat and didn't care at all. Just three meters away, as pedestrians tried to flee, their maws opened wide,
A terrifying purple mist instantly enveloped the area.
Venomous Attribute?
One of the most suitable attributes for assassination, but unfortunately, Su Ping didn't dare to claim he was the master of poisons.
However, he was definitely not someone that any venomous beast companion could harm.
Moreover, in front of him stood Old Sha.
After evolving, Old Sha had never truly shown its full strength or engaged in a proper battle.
It had been waiting impatiently for this moment to showcase its abilities.
Instantly, a fiery red light shield enveloped Su Ping.
Resisting the drifting purple venomous mist from the very start.
At the same time, Old Sha itself didn't resist at all, as it didn't need to.
As the Solar Avatar with the empowerment of the Corona Ring, the venomous attribute couldn't affect Old Sha in the slightest.
However, the others were not so lucky.
Nearly everyone near Su Ping couldn't withstand even a second, and even if they reacted and tried to escape, it was useless.
The purple toxic wind, let alone breathing it in, even a tenth of a second of skin contact was enough to cause direct decay, turning their bodies into a mass of pustules.
Those closer were reduced to a pool of pus on the ground.
Humans had no chance to resist against such powerful beast companions.
And the Venomous Attribute was one of the most terrifying attributes.
Its contagiousness, lethality, and unnoticeable nature made it a terrifying weapon for mass destruction.
However, as assassins from Cherry Land, they showed no hesitation in using such beast companions and skills in this mall, with no regard for the consequences.
Su Ping coldly smiled.
But he wasn't a merciful or saintly person either.
If they didn't care about the lives of their own country's people, why should he, a beastmaster with a grudge against their nation, have any reservations?
Thus, a high-pitched wolf howl, unimaginable in its intensity, came from Old Sha!
The Corona Ring condensed behind it.
Normally, a being of Bai Daren's caliber wouldn't even bother to glance at these two small white eels.
A single sneeze from him, bringing forth a Metal Storm, would be enough to directly shred and torture these two white pythons to death.
But this time, Bai Daren poked his head out of Su Ping's sleeve, observing with great detail.
The reason was simple; he felt something different in Old Sha compared to all the beast companions he had encountered before.
This was why the White Tiger, the symbol of warfare and combat, the master of the golden military attribute, had politely refused Su Ping's challenge with a relatively 'subtle' method.
It sensed an unusual threat from this large wolf-dog.
The combat prowess of this wolf-dog, when compared to others of the same level, was undoubtedly no less formidable than the multi-headed hound in the desert.
Perhaps, it might even be stronger!
For it to suppress its realm and strength and fight this creature? Winning offered no benefits, and losing meant losing a powerful individual.
So, at this moment, White Daren carefully observed, checking if it met his expectations.
Although the strength of these two giant snakes was indeed too weak, he could still catch a glimpse of their true power.
Old Sha was unaware that the 'scheming' elder behind him was eyeing this opportunity.
The moment the Corona Ring condensed, they didn't even see its attack, but Akagoro and Akagero suddenly felt something amiss.
They seemed to be glowing.
What the hell was this?
There was no sign of an attack, but under this radiance, the intense heat it brought made Akagoro and Akagero sense something strange.
Almost immediately, they wanted to retreat, and at the same time, they raised their heads to look towards the source of the light.
However, in that instant, they froze.
Above the original shopping mall, the towering sky seemed to have the sun's rays piercing through a semi-transparent glass roof, forming a direct beam.
The heat intensified, and at that moment, the sunlight turned into a solid.
Even though they seemed to have dodged the sunlight, the light spot remained on their bodies.
And then...
"Ah..."
A piercing scream echoed.
But this scream wasn't because the light spot had finally unleashed its scorching heat, turning them into ashes.
On the contrary, at this moment, the light spot on their bodies resembled a glowing seal.
It only glowed but caused no tangible harm.
The reason for their agonizing screams was the two giant white pythons with bared fangs and claws.
Even without the chance to sway their bodies, in the instant they were enveloped by the light spot, the terrifying temperature burst into golden flames. These two high-level Imperial White-Scaled Pythons, even without displaying their true strength and abilities,
right before everyone's eyes, turned into a pile of ashes!
White Daren watched as the two Imperial-level beasts, unable to withstand even a second, became ashes.
He quickly summarized several key points about this ability.
First, it couldn't be blocked or resisted because he clearly saw that the sunlight was genuinely traveling at the speed of light.
And it wasn't just a matter of avoiding the sun.
The Sun Wolf King could absorb and refract sunlight from the Corona Ring behind Old Sha, so as long as one faced this wolf, its attack would cling like an incurable bone ulcer.
The consequence of being affected was obvious, which led to the second point—this power was a bit over the top.
Even White Daren, with his vast knowledge and experience, couldn't immediately analyze how to defend against this skill's attack, except to endure it head-on.
So, in the end, he concluded that it was fortunate he hadn't suppressed his strength to the Holy Spirit Level to fight this foul dog.
Thus, these two screams were from the two assassins, feeling the death of their beast companions through their mental connection.
However, they weren't dead yet.
The reason Old Sha didn't hurry to kill them was that they still had their uses.
Su Ping watched the two assassins clutching their heads, feeling the agony of their beast companions' demise through their soul connection, and said indifferently, "Who are you? Who sent you to kill me?"
It was evident that most people present didn't understand the Dragon Nation's language, but Su Ping believed that these two assassins surely did.
However, Su Ping didn't expect that after the two figures exchanged a glance, they would collapse to the ground without a second thought, their soul auras and mental fluctuations vanishing completely in an instant.
Not a single mistake, not a single word, not a single breath, not a single movement, not a single book, not a single look!
They were dead beyond a doubt.
Indeed, they were dead assassins!
Su Ping's expression remained calm.
In this Cherry Land, only a Beastmaster family capable of nurturing Imperial-level dead assassins could be one of those three families.
According to the information he had seen earlier.
The Yoshino Family was the host of this event, so there was no reason for them to launch an attack.
Obviously, only the Yawatashi Family and the Akagari Family remained.
He thought of the two White-Scaled Pythons again, and a disdainful smile appeared on his lips.
With such means, there was nothing extraordinary about it.
In fact, he even felt a little unsatisfied.
Just one solar flare and it's over?
The rest of Old Sha's abilities hadn't been fully unleashed, which was a bit disappointing.
Shaking his head, Su Ping was not in high spirits, but he still looked down at the two corpses.
The two bodies lay stiffly on the ground, not fearing that someone might identify them through these corpses and find out their true identities.
Su Ping kicked them twice, and at that moment, something fell from their bodies.
It was a small doll.
The moment the doll appeared, Su Ping's eyebrows furrowed slightly.
He subconsciously took a half-step back.
If it were before, he would never have reacted like this.
But after wandering the streets all day, Su Ping was extremely familiar with this item.
The so-called Shikigami, many of them were contained within similar dolls like this.
Thus, as soon as this doll appeared, Su Ping's heart immediately sounded an alarm.
And indeed, Su Ping's caution proved to be justified.
In that instant, a phantom shadow appeared and pounced towards Su Ping.
"Woof!"
A fierce wolf's howl echoed.
The shield composed of flames and sunlight decisively blocked this attack!
However, even though it was blocked, whether it was Su Ping, the White Master in his sleeve, or even the Shark Princess who was secretly sensing the situation, they all sensed something.
This attack could only be from a Holy Spirit Level!
Holy Spirit Level! These people from Cherry Land were really willing to spend a fortune.
Although it was only a first-tier Holy Spirit, and not a Beastmaster, but merely a beast companion, even so, using a Holy Spirit Level to assassinate a seemingly insignificant person was enough to prove the determination of the mastermind behind this.
However, even this phantom figure seemed to be caught off guard, as its terrifying attack failed to take effect.
Then, compared to the two assassins, this beast companion was extremely familiar with the ways of an assassin. After missing its first strike, it immediately fled into the distance.
The phantom shadow, which even Su Ping couldn't see clearly, moved even faster than when it attacked, and soared into the sky!
In the sky above the mall, not even the roof could stop this figure. A cold light flashed, and the entire roof collapsed amidst the terrified screams of the mall's customers.
This impact was no less than the casualties caused by the previous poison attack.
However, the glass roof shattered, and sunlight poured through, landing on Old Sha's body in that instant.
"Let's go, don't let that thing escape!"
At Su Ping's command, he mounted Old Sha.
Then, Old Sha leaped into the air.
It was as if another sun had appeared in the sky.
At this moment, Old Sha was adorned in a pure golden battle armor, and on the armor, there were even wings.
Due to the Corona Battle Armor, Old Sha's speed exceeded Su Ping's imagination.
The figure hadn't even escaped from the mall's rooftop.
It was trapped by solid walls made of sunlight, with no way to escape.
Su Ping struck with his sword, but the light screen wall remained unmoved.
The phantom figure turned its head in horror, looking at the man and wolf who had slowly approached from behind.
Finally, the figure seemed to realize what was happening and slowly raised the sword in its hand, assuming a unique starting stance.
However, Su Ping was unconcerned. The moment he landed on the giant wolf, he paid no attention to being a fish on a chopping board.
The reason Su Ping didn't let Old Sha use the Solar Particle Cannon to blast them directly was not out of fear of collateral damage.
It was purely to leave evidence and provide Dong Muchun with a good excuse to exploit later.
But after seeing the figure finally stop and locking onto the phantom figure's face, Su Ping was slightly startled:
"So it's you?"
Even though the figure was phantasmal, even though it had an abundance of energy fluctuations, and even though the killing intent was palpable.
Even though Su Ping could tell that this person also possessed similar disguise abilities.
However, on the vaguely visible face, there was a person he recognized from Cherry Land.
It wasn't the Red Ghost Qiong he had defeated before, who else could it be?
