“The challenge rules require three spirit beasts, but our Zi family believes one is enough to sweep your Jin family’s three beasts. These two are merely to make up the numbers,” Zi Jinchen replied bluntly.
Before this, facing the Multicoloured Spirit Zou, he wouldn’t have been so confident.
But after witnessing Lin Xiao, his summoned objects, and his friend Ling Hu dominate eight rounds, Zi Jinchen had absolute faith in Lin Xiao.
Having assessed Mei Tianmo’s strength, Zi Jinchen was confident she could sweep the three beasts.
At Zi Jinchen’s confidence, Jin Wuhuan was momentarily stunned, puzzled, but given their failures in all previous rounds, he couldn’t help but wonder.
Could the Zi family truly have a spirit beast capable of sweeping their three?
The Jin family and onlookers were shocked. Zi Jinchen’s confidence suggested the Zi family had an exceptionally powerful beast.
But where was this beast?
“Where is this spirit beast of your Zi family?” Jin Wuhuan asked gravely.
“This beast is a friend of Lin Xiao’s,” Zi Jinchen said, glancing at Mei Tianmo, deliberately mentioning Lin Xiao to provoke the Jin family.
At this, Jin Wuhuan and the Jin family’s pupils constricted.
“Miss Mei’er, please,” Zi Jinchen said politely.
“Hehe, Third Elder, you’re too kind. Sweeping three spirit beasts isn’t easy. If anything goes wrong, I hope you’ll compensate this little lady,” Mei Tianmo said with a seductive smile, flying out from the crowd into the void ahead.
At her words, Zi Jinchen’s face twitched, feeling like he was about to be fleeced.
Seeing Mei Tianmo appear, the crowd was stunned. This breathtakingly beautiful woman was a spirit beast in human form?
“No wonder she’s so stunning!” many thought to themselves.
“A fully transformed spirit beast?” Jin Wuhuan’s brow furrowed.
The three beasts on the city wall grew wary, sensing danger from her alluring figure.
“Chi!” Suddenly, torrents of black energy surged from Mei Tianmo, and a pair of bat-like iron wings extended from her graceful back. A dark, gleaming stinger emerged above her head, radiating a terrifying aura that made the heavens tremble, accompanied by a sound like chanting scriptures, as if the world itself quaked.
Amid the rolling black energy, Mei Tianmo’s stunning figure and face became even more hauntingly beautiful, her aura causing everyone present to feel palpitations.
Even Jin Wuhuan and Zi Jinchen showed traces of apprehension.
Zi Jinchen had sparred with Mei Tianmo before but hadn’t seen her transform, unaware that her aura in human form would be so terrifying.
“Mid-tier Sixth-Order spirit beast, Heavenly Demon Scorpion!” Jin Wuhuan exclaimed.
The three beasts on the wall trembled with fear.
“Who’s first?” Mei Tianmo asked coldly, her proud and icy demeanor a stark contrast to before, addressing the three beasts on the wall.
“Jade-Patterned Purple Sable, you go first. Wear it down as much as possible!” Jin Wuhuan ordered.
Though wary, the sable bent its legs at Jin Wuhuan’s command, springing off the ground and charging toward Mei Tianmo.
Initially, the sable’s speed was moderate, but as it neared Mei Tianmo, it surged, becoming a flash of lightning, its sharp fangs bared as it lunged at her.
“Chi!”
Mei Tianmo stood still, but her reaction was swift. With a flick of her body, her black iron wing swept out, stirring a dark gust that struck the sable heavily.
Boom! The sable’s sharp fangs clashed with Mei Tianmo’s iron wing, unleashing a massive sound. A powerful shockwave radiated outward, and the sable’s body was sent flying, crashing into the city wall, reducing it to rubble amid billowing smoke.
In one strike, Mei Tianmo defeated the Jade-Patterned Purple Sable. Its explosive speed was useless against her.
In terms of strength, the sable’s early Sixth-Order power couldn’t withstand Mei Tianmo’s mid-tier Sixth-Order strength, which could rival higher tiers, collapsing in a single blow.
The Jin family’s brows furrowed. Mei Tianmo’s combat strength was indeed formidable; the sable wasn’t even a match for one move.
“Roar!”
At this moment, the Golden-Eyed Bear’s eyes blazed with golden light. It pounded its thick chest, its massive body charging diagonally into the sky with overwhelming momentum toward Mei Tianmo.
As it neared, the bear swung its immense strength, striking at Mei Tianmo.
Mei Tianmo met the bear head-on, her body flicking as her steel-like stinger whipped out with a piercing sound, colliding with the bear’s paw.
Boom!
A thunderous explosion followed, black and gold energy waves bursting forth. The bear’s body was sent flying, crashing into the city.
The crowd was shocked again. The immensely powerful Golden-Eyed Bear was also no match for Mei Tianmo’s single move.
“Multicoloured Spirit Zou!”
Jin Wuhuan shouted, his voice resonating far and wide.
“Whoosh!”
Brilliant, multicoloured light burst from the Spirit Zou. It charged toward Mei Tianmo, swiftly closing the distance and clashing head-on with her.
“Boom!”
This time, it wasn’t a one-strike defeat. The Spirit Zou matched Mei Tianmo’s strength, unleashing powerful shockwaves in the void.
“Boom!” “Boom!” “Boom!” …
The Spirit Zou unleashed a flurry of fierce attacks, colliding intensely with Mei Tianmo, producing waves of powerful fluctuations. The void seemed to shatter, with continuous booming sounds.
Zi Jinchen and the Zi family showed surprise. The Jin family’s Multicoloured Spirit Zou was as formidable as rumoured. Mei Tianmo’s victory wouldn’t come easily.
“This Multicoloured Spirit Zou is indeed extraordinary. Mei Tianmo will have to work hard,” Lin Xiao remarked in awe.
The Spirit Zou’s combat strength was no less than Mei Tianmo’s, a rare match among same-tier beasts. It seemed Mei Tianmo had met her equal.
“Lin Xiao, your life is mine!”
At that moment, a booming shout rang out. Suddenly, over a dozen masked figures in black shot out from all directions, their speed astonishingly fast.
These figures were Martial Lord-level experts, three of them exuding Ninth Stage Martial Lord auras.
The group surged with overwhelming momentum, targeting Lin Xiao.
The crowd’s expressions changed drastically. Who would dare attempt an assassination in front of the Zi and Jin families?
“The three great families!” Lin Xiao’s face shifted, and he immediately threw out the Blue Corpse Puppet. “How dare you!” At the same time, Zi Jinchen’s furious shout rang out, “Stop them!”
