AST 1472 - Black Diamond Rat King, a powerful demonic beast

Though it may be really fast, Qing Shui still managed to see it . It was a demonic beast . Its appearance resembled a rat and it was black like ink . It looked really shiny as well . Even with the Paragon Golden Armor, Qing Shui didn’t dare to let down his guard .

Dragon Slaying Beast!

Qing Shui immediately summoned the Dragon Slaying Beast in front of him for safety . He feared that his Golden Battle Halberd wouldn’t be able to withstand it and he was reluctant to use his only chance of automatically blocking a fatal strike so soon .  

Ding!

A loud and clear noise rang . It sounded like the sharp noise of a whistle . The black figure went back to the direction from where it came . The Dragon Slaying Beast, on the other hand, stopped momentarily . As the saying went, speed was power . The Dragon Slaying Beast had indeed not disappointed Qing Shui in terms of its defensive capability . However, the opponent’s tiny demonic beast was just equally as formidable .

Black Diamond Rat King!

The tiny beast was also a mutated rat species and was extremely rare, just as its name said . It was like black diamond, extremely tough and sharp . It was only because it ran into the Dragon Slaying Beast that it got deflected . Against normal people, it would have penetrated straight through them . It could bite off warrior’s swords with its teeth just like biting off bean curd .

Qing Shui never expected to run into beasts similar to both the Dragon Slaying Beast and Marrow Nibbling Golden Dragon Silkworm . Unfortunately, it was no match for either one of them in any aspects . It was almost at the same level as the Earth Devouring Mouse .  

The fact that the Dragon Slaying Beast was able to deflect the Black Diamond Rat King shocked the man . The rat king was one of the beasts he had the most confidence in . He felt that the only weapon which would be able to deflect the Black Diamond Rat King’s attack was the Golden Battle Halberd . The speed of the Black Diamond Rat King was too fast; it was not easy to deflect it .  

“Young man, you indeed surprise me . To think that you actually own a Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beast like this . ”

The man continued to swing his Beast King Sword as he spoke and as he did, slightly more than ten demonic beasts started to appear one after another . Now, there were two more Black Diamond Rat Kings . The rest of the beasts were all huge wild beasts . Among them, two were Super Shield Beasts .

The Super Shield Beast was tough and fast . The only thing which it lacked was offensive prowess . Despite its large size, it was able to move flexibly . It sacrificed its attack in exchange for supreme defense . In a way, this was considered to be quite reasonable .  

It neglected up to half of its attack prowess in order to double its defensive strength . Furthermore, it also had its own powerful battle techniques which were all for boosting its defensive capability . This kind of demonic beast was quite rare across the world . Qing Shui had always wanted to look for a beast like this, but he had never managed to run into any . Now that he saw it, he found itf really appealing .

As expected, the Divine Beast Sect was indeed unique . Merely the ten demonic beasts which appeared now were already something which normal people could never stand a chance against . Two Super Shield Beasts and three Black Diamond Rat Kings . Two huge beasts proficient in physical attacks and three skilled in elemental attacks .

“Today, I am going to let you witness the proper way a person from a beast taming sect should battle . ” The man looked at Qing Shui with a smile .

Qing Shui smiled and looked back at the man, “I seem to have forgotten to mention to you that I am also a Beast Tamer . ”

At a time like this, Qing Shui wasn’t trying to show off . He was in a life-and-death situation where even the slightest mistake could lead to an irreparable outcome . Thus, Qing Shui immediately summoned out the Hellfire Phoenix, Golden Scaled Dragon Elephant, Thunderous Beast, Seven-headed Demonic Dragon Spider and two Ice Silkworms to the arena .

As soon as the Seven-headed Demonic Dragon Spider appeared, it summoned out a swarm of demonic spiders . Among the swarm of spiders, there were some which had gone through mutations . They were all waiting for a chance to attack .

As soon as the Demonic Dragon Spider was released, Qing Shui took this opportunity to form the Four Elephant Formation . He also unleashed the Phoenix Battle Intent and used the Heavenly Talismans .

By the time the opponent recovered back from the situation, Qing Shui had already finished setting up his mighty Four Symbols Formation .

“Things seem to be getting more and more interesting . The man’s eyes were filled with fire . Despite the huge number of demonic spiders around him, he didn’t seem to be the slightest bit afraid . In fact, he completely neglected them and didn’t bother about their strength .  

As of now, even Tantai Lingyan and the people from Divine Sound Sect were all left with their hearts hanging . The strength of their enemies were beyond what they had expected . If it had been them suffering from this disaster, they wouldn’t have known what to do . Merely facing off against those beasts was already a huge problem . It’s hard to even defend oneself, let alone against the man who was likely to be even more dangerous than the beasts .

Qing Shui immediately drew a Heavenly Talisman . Now that both of them were really close to each other, Qing Shui unleashed his Vajra Subdues Demons .

Emperor’s Qi!

Qing Shui intentionally set his target on the three Black Diamond Rat Kings .

Art of Pursuing!

It has been a long time since Qing Shui had last used this battle technique . After it received an upgrade in its realm recently, it had once again become one of Qing Shui’s most powerful techniques .

The Art of Pursuing lowered the opponent’s speed by 30% .

All of the battle techniques which awakened from the Ancient Strengthening Technique were really formidable . The only drawback was that the amount of speed reduced couldn’t be further stacked with other techniques . Otherwise, the opponent would be slowed down to the point of becoming a turtle if Qing Shui could chain it together with the Diamond Sword Qi and Seal of Xuantian .  

Though the technique couldn’t be stacked, the Art of Pursuing was still a very formidable technique . Qing Shui would be lying if he was to say that he wasn’t upset with the fact that it couldn’t stack . Despite that, he would still be able to reduce the opponent’s speed only slightly more if he were to use all of them together . At most, he could reduce it by 35% .

What sort of outcome would a speed reduction of 35% bring? For example, in a battle between two warriors with equal strength, if one was to experience a reduction in speed of 35%, the only fate which awaited him would be suppression by his enemy .

Though the Black Diamond Rat Kings were really fast, Qing Shui was able to dodge their attacks easily . 35% of speed was too much .

The man immediately ordered the three Black Diamond Rat Kings to attack Qing Shui .

Qing Shui immediately ordered the Dragon Slaying Beast to keep one of the rats occupied whereas he alone faced against two of them . It was considered quite relaxing . But there were still other demonic beasts .

The man was unable to recover from the shock of being significantly weakened by QIng Shui . Never had he expected for him to be so terrifying . However, since things had already taken such a turn, the only way he could solve this was by killing the young man . This was what the man had in mind . He was willing to give up everything to eliminate him .

The man looked towards the beasts around Qing Shui . Each and every one of them were more than enough to drive the beast tamers mad . Though he also had a decent tamed beast, beast tamers were meant to appeal more to demonic beasts .

Just like the Lu Brothers, the man also possessed the physique of a person with the Heart of Demonic Beast . Furthermore, he was also one of the genuine people in charge of Divine Beast Sect .  

Seeing the two Black Diamond Rat Kings slowly nearing him and the man charging towards his demonic beasts, Qing Shui immediately ordered the Hellfire Phoenix to initiate its attacks . He also ordered the Seven-headed Demonic Dragon Spiders and the rest of the spiders to do the same thing .

Pa!

Qing Shui’s first stance of Nine Stance of Ancient Divine Battle Technique struck one of the Black Diamond Rat Kings . This wasn’t anything unusual, but the Black Diamond Rat King was penetrated through by the Golden Battle Halberd .

。

The Black Diamond Rat King, which already had a small figure to begin with, immediately died on the spit .

Prior to its death, the rat didn’t let out even a scream . The man immediately put his hand on his chest, as if his heart was going to start bleeding .

Qing Shui made his way towards the last remaining rat, which he intended to kill himself . But at this moment, the two rat kings backed off instead . They hid behind the Super Shield Beast .

Qing Shui completely ruined the man’s offensive plan with that strike of his .

“You forced me to do this . ” The man looked at Qing Shui with eyes that looked a bit confused as well as a bit resentful .

Divine Beast Possession!

His Divine Beast was a Three-headed Dragon Snake .

The enormous Three-headed Dragon Snake immediately engulfed the man . The green dragon snake looked unusually sharp . It just a flash, it charged towards the Golden Scale Dragon Elephant .

Art of Pursuing!

Nine Continents Mountain!

The Dragon Slaying Beast also followed up by charging in .  

The Four Symbols Formation was very formidable . The Dragon Slaying Beast was at the dragon position . It’s always mentioned that dragons soared through the clouds in the sky . The dragon position mainly functioned to increase speed and agility . The Dragon Slaying Beast would definitely be very formidable standing on top of this position .

The Hellfire Phoenix was at the Vermillion Position, boosting the strength of its fireball attacks . Not only that, it even used its Sure-kill Heavenly Technique, the Nine Phantoms Slaughter, right off the bat .

Underworld Fireball!

Under the effect of all of these boosts, the Underworld Fireball of the Hellfire Phoenix immediately reached a strength worth four hundred million sun . Furthermore, it was a homing attack .

Vajra Subdue Demons! 

Hell Inferno! 

The formidable attacks had made even the man pale with fright . Actually, the man was only just as strong as Old Man Lu . This was already considered to be the most outstanding strength a person could ever possess . It was worth around two hundred million sun . When under the effect of Beast Divinity Protection, it was worth six hundred million sun . It’s just that after being weakened by Qing Shui, he only had four hundred million sun worth of strength remaining .  

Though the Underworld Fireball might have only strength worth four hundred million sun, it didn’t mean that the man wouldn’t be damaged by it . The Dragon Slaying Beast cooperated with the Fire Bird in its attempt to attack . This time, Qing Shui planned to at least cripple the opponent if he didn’t manage to kill him . He was sure that this man was one of the strongest presences in Divine Beast Sect .

Not only was his raw strength top class, he even had the Beast Divinity Protection . It’s no wonder that he didn’t bat an eye at the Divine Sound Sect and Demon Lord Palace .

The Super Shield Beast could be neglected . The two extremely heavy fellas lived to get beaten up by their opponents .

The lightnings from the Thunderous Beast constantly struck at the opponent’s demonic beasts . The man was no exception . With further aid from Art of Pursuing, the man’s speed gradually began to slow down .

The Hellfire Phoenix took the opportunity to eliminate five or six of the offensive demonic beasts with its Underworld Fireball . As for the Super Shield Beasts, even the Underworld Fireball wouldn’t be able to damage them for the time being .

The defensive prowess received from sacrificing offense was really terrifying . Normally, demonic beasts wouldn’t provoke other beasts which they were no match for .  

Violet Lightning Strike! 

The Thunderous Beast struck the Black Diamond Rat King with its Violet Lightning Strike . But the Black Diamond Rat King managed to bite off the spider web . Seeing that, the Seven Headed Demonic Dragon Spider followed up by binding the Black Diamond Rat King with its spider silk . This tiny beast was really smart; the only place where it came up short was its strength . It had a small figure and a body smooth like jade . It would be really difficult to catch it . The Seven Headed Demonic Dragon Spider’s spider web was extremely sticky . In just a while, it managed to tie up the rat king into a rice dumpling . Since the Black Diamond Rat King had lost its speed, it was equivalent to its overall strength being reduced by 90% .

The Black Diamond Rat King which was immobilized once again was drawn back by the Seven Headed Demonic Dragon Spider with its spider silk . Qing Shui immediately threw it into the Primordial Demon Refining Furnace .

The tiny beast trembled at the moment it saw Primordial Demon Refining Furnace . Even the Super Shield Beast roared with unease .  

Qing Shui mixed everything according to the recipe . The Seven Headed Demonic Dragon Spider, on the other hand, used the same method to throw the last Black Diamond Rat King into the furnace .

The man was really heartbroken seeing that . But no matter how he tried, he was unable to break away from the Dragon Slaying Beast and Hellfire Phoenix . He may be really strong, but the only unfortunate thing was that his speed had been greatly reduced . Given enough time, the only destiny which awaited him was being depleted to death .

“What are you guys standing there for! Go after them and kill them immediately!” At this moment, the man couldn’t bother about any other thing as he roared loudly .

Instead of just dying like that or admitting defeat, the man would rather go for the group kill immediately . He was reluctant to do either scenario .

“You are digging your own grave . ” Qing Shui smiled and looked at the man, but his eyes were filled with killing intent .
