229: Chapter 229 We should leave someone alive

Chen Yi glanced at the beast taming whip, which had grown dim, and put it back into his space ring.

He had clearly tried to hold back as much as possible just now, but not a single bit of energy remained.

From the looks of it, this thing's attacks were all one-time uses.

No matter how much energy was accumulated, once used, all of it would be expended.

But he still had other methods!

"System, enhance 100 points of spirit power for me!"

[Ding! Enhancement successful! Current spirit power value: 294 points!]

A stream of pure energy instantly flooded his limbs and bones. Chen Yi felt his perception of the surrounding environment climb once again!

His hands formed seals, and the surging fire-attribute spirit power within his body churned wildly!

"Fire Cloud Sword, appear!"

In an instant, with Chen Yi as the center, thousands of cloud swords condensed from crimson flames appeared densely in the sky!

They burned, emitting a humming sword cry, dyeing half the sky red!

The sight was as spectacular as the coming of the apocalypse!

"Fall!"

With a wave of Chen Yi's sword finger, those thousands of Fire Cloud Swords fell like meteors, covering the sky as they crashed toward the two frantically fleeing Seventh Rank Beast Tamers and their surrounding spirit beasts!

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom—"

The sound of explosions was continuous, flames soared into the sky, and large swaths of forest were ignited, turning into a sea of fire!

The scene was extremely terrifying!

However, Chen Yi frowned slightly.

Although those Fire Cloud Swords were terrifying in number and the scene was spectacular, their individual lethality was still not enough for Seventh Rank experts.

Often, several consecutive swords had to hit the same target to barely break through the defense and cause damage.

It was extremely difficult to achieve a kill.

"Sigh, it seems that even with the system's help, the gap in rank is still hard to fully bridge! There's still a long way to go to truly crush a Seventh Rank head-on with my own power—"

Chen Yi sighed inwardly but was not discouraged.

Since his own skills lacked power, he would continue to spend!

His cold gaze locked onto the next target as he pulled out dozens of fire-attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasures worth millions from his space ring, using Enhancement Points to activate them one by one, blasting them toward the defeated remnants.

These were all Yan Jiuyue's dowry, but he had to use them now!

He would just compensate Yan Jiuyue properly through other means later!

Anyway, learning new skills didn't mean he had to rely on heaven and earth spiritual treasures!

Skills mastered by increasing Affinity were even better!

The next second, another heart-palpitating blazing white light sphere took shape and shot toward a Seventh Rank Beast Tamer who was desperately dodging the fire rain and trying to escape!

"No!"

Sensing the lock of death, that Beast Tamer let out a desperate roar and tried his best to put up all his defenses.

But everything was in vain!

Wherever the light sphere passed, that Seventh Rank Beast Tamer was also completely swallowed and annihilated!

"It seems that a heaven and earth spiritual treasure worth a few million is enough to kill a Seventh Rank. Using that thing to kill Lin Xiao just now was a huge loss!"

"Forget it, being able to survive is more important than anything else!"

"Continue! System, I want to activate the attack effect of the Fire Dragon Fruit—"

Chen Yi was expressionless, like a deity in charge of life and death, his finger pointing at the next target again.

The light sphere appeared again!

Whoever he pointed at died!

With the disappearance of each fire-attribute heaven and earth spiritual treasure, it meant an expert was wiped from the world!

This simple, crude, yet incredibly efficient and shocking way of killing made everyone who witnessed this scene feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts!

Gao Wenyu and Qi Lianmeng, whom he was supporting and whose bleeding arm stump had just been stopped, looked at each other with only bitter and fearful smiles on their faces.

Fortunately, when they provoked him in the preliminary rounds last time, this guy didn't pull out these things—

Otherwise, who knows how much psychological shadow we would have now—

The remaining Seventh Rank spirit beasts saw that they could not dodge that life-taking light sphere at all.

Every time Chen Yi activated a light sphere, there seemed to be a brief interval.

Seeing that fleeing was futile, several of the spirit beasts actually turned around and charged recklessly toward Chen Yi himself.

Attempting to kill him before he launched his next attack!

However, there was no need for Chen Yi to give an order.

Lin Mengxue, Yan Jiuyue, and The girls had already formed a wall of spirit beasts, firmly protecting him in the center!

Ice Walls, Fox Fire, Devouring Fields, Light-Dark Barriers—various defensive skills lit up in layers!

The frantic impact of those Seventh Rank spirit beasts made blood leak from the corners of The girls' mouths, but the defensive line remained unmoved!

They couldn't get close to Chen Yi at all!

In this way, every few seconds, Chen Yi killed an enemy by consuming a heaven and earth spiritual treasure.

A minute later.

The blazing white light sphere finally stopped appearing.

Those three Seventh Rank Beast Tamers and the dozen or so Contracted Spirit Beasts they brought—

Had been completely wiped out, not a single one left!

The charred earth, the wisps of smoke, and the destructive energy aura permeating the air silently told how terrifying the war just now had been.

Shock!

Collective shock!

Gao Wenyu, Leng Wuhen, Luo Yuqing, Qi Lianmeng—all the survivors were now like stone statues, staring dumbfoundedly at Chen Yi, who seemed a bit pained by the cost, and the area around him filled with scorched craters.

Their minds were blank, and they had almost stopped thinking.

"W-what just happened?"

"Three Seventh Rank Beast Tamers... a dozen or so elite spirit beasts at the peak of the Sixth Rank or Seventh Rank..."

"Just... just like that, they're gone?"

"That white light sphere, what on earth is it?"

This had completely exceeded their scope of cognition and overturned their understanding of the Beast Tamer power system.

A Fifth Rank insta-killing Seventh Ranks—

It's not that there have been legends of geniuses challenging higher-rank Beast Tamers in history, but those were all through countless hardships, tragic victories, or even mutual destruction!

Like Chen Yi, almost crushing and completing the cleanup with ease, it was simply unheard of and unseen!

This was no longer crossing ranks; this was simply—a dimensional reduction strike!

After Chen Yi's excitement passed, he suddenly realized a problem.

He was so focused on resolving the crisis that he seemed to have forgotten—shouldn't he have left someone alive to ask about the situation?

Now it's great, everyone's been silenced, and even their specific purpose can't be figured out—
