Chapter 343 Special Physique: Sword Body and Beast Taming?!

The moment Zhao Zhao stepped into the square.

The aura of a Amethyst Tier 3 Beast Tamer, like an invisible mountain, crashed down in all directions!

Everywhere the aura passed, the air trembled.

Those Vicious Beasts that were originally entrenched in various parts of the square.

All raised their heads at once!

Pairs of cold, eerie beast pupils.

Locked onto this human who dared to break in alone at the same instant.

"Roar!!!"

"Ow!!!"

"Hiss!!!"

One after another, the roars.

Exploded like a tide!

Twenty Gold Fierce Beasts, four Purple Crystal Second Stage Vicious Beasts, and the one in the center with the most terrifying aura, the Amethyst Tier 3 Vicious Beast.

All gazes fell upon Zhao Zhao.

Killing intent surged to the heavens.

Zhao Zhao smiled instead.

In that smile was unmasked arrogance.

"A bunch of animals."

He spoke softly.

His voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of every Vicious Beast.

Then.

He raised his right hand.

Fingers spread, he pressed forward into the void.

The movement was casual, yet it carried an unquestionable majesty.

"Come out!!!"

"Chiyang!"

Boom!!!

The moment his words fell.

A beam of extremely intense golden light.

Exploded from the Void Realm in front of Zhao Zhao's palm!

That light was so blinding, it was as if a small sun had suddenly descended!

The entire square was dyed a brilliant gold by this golden light!

At the center of the light.

The Void Realm distorted like the surface of water.

A massive figure slowly solidified from the light.

It was a male lion covered entirely in golden manes.

It was three zhang high and five zhang long, like a small golden mountain.

Every strand of its mane burned with faint golden flames.

As the flames flickered, the surrounding air distorted and scorched.

Its limbs were as thick as pillars, with blazing light flames swirling around its claws; every time it stepped, charred paw prints were left on the ground.

Its eyes were pure gold.

Deep within the pupils, flames seemed to be burning.

Most startling was the fist-sized crystal between its brows.

The crystal was Diamond-shaped, brilliant like a Diamond, and inside seemed to be a pool of flowing lava.

Each time the light pulsed, a ripple of golden halo spread outward.

Wherever the halo passed, the air temperature rose sharply.

Blazing Sun Golden Lion.

Amethyst Tier 3.

Boom!!!

An even more violent aura.

Exploded from this giant lion!

That aura was so strong, it far exceeded ordinary Amethyst Tier 3 Vicious Beasts!

It even faintly reached the level of Purple Crystal Sixth Stage!

The aura was like a wave, sweeping out in all directions.

Those four Purple Crystal Second Stage Vicious Beasts!

Blazing Flame Lion King, Sky-Rending Wind Falcon, Iron-Spined Dragon Lizard, Profound Ice Giant Python!

Under this pressure.

All retreated half a step!

An instinctive fear flashed in their eyes.

The Gold Fierce Beast pack was even more restless, some even crouching on the ground, letting out low whimpers.

Only the Amethyst Tier 3 Vicious Beast in the center.

It remained motionless.

Those cold beast pupils stared fixedly at the Blazing Sun Golden Lion.

No fear.

No retreat.

Only a kind of... near-provocative calmness.

As if saying... is that all?

Zhao Zhao's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He sensed that something was wrong with that Vicious Beast.

Under normal circumstances, a same-rank Vicious Beast facing the pressure of a Blazing Sun Golden Lion would at least be cautious.

But this one... he saw in its eyes a certain... eager Battle Intent.

This beast is quite interesting.

A cold sneer curled Zhao Zhao's lips.

"Chiyang, tear them apart."

Roar!!!

The Blazing Sun Golden Lion roared to the heavens!

The roar was like thunder, shaking the rubble on the square ruins until it tumbled down!

The four Purple Crystal Second Stage Vicious Beasts finally couldn't hold back.

The Blazing Flame Lion King was the first to attack!

It slammed its four paws onto the ground, its body erupting with zhang-high crimson flames, pouncing toward the Blazing Sun Golden Lion like a burning Meteor!

The Sky-Rending Wind Falcon flapped its wings, its body turning into a gray shadow as it dove down from the flank!

The Iron-Spined Dragon Lizard swept its massive tail, bringing with it the sound of whistling wind!

The Profound Ice Giant Python opened its mouth and spat, a blast of ice-blue cold air shooting out like a sharp arrow!

Four Purple Crystal Second Stage beasts.

Attacked simultaneously.

Zhao Zhao still stood in place.

He didn't even take a step back.

He just quietly watched the four incoming figures.

The smile on his lips grew even more intense.

Just as the four attacks were about to land.

Boom!!!

A streak of ice-blue light descended from the sky!

Wherever the light passed, the air frosted and the ground froze!

The ice-blue cold air attacking the Blazing Sun Golden Lion was like a stream meeting a tsunami before this light.

Instantly annihilated!

The Profound Ice Giant Python's pupils shrank!

It didn't even have time to react.

An ice-blue giant luan with a wingspan of over ten zhang had already hovered above its head.

Those ice-blue vertical pupils looked down at it coldly.

Profound Frost Heavenly Luan.

Liu Qingshuang's beast.

At the same moment.

Boom!!!

A bolt of purple-green lightning as thick as a water vat crashed down from another direction!

The lightning struck the diving Sky-Rending Wind Falcon dead center!

"Screech!!!"

The Sky-Rending Wind Falcon let out a shrill cry!

Its wings flapped frantically, but it couldn't break free from the lightning's lock.

Amidst the lightning, a giant beast shaped like an ancient rhino, covered in deep purple scales, slowly stepped out.

Its mane, formed from electrical arcs on its back, fluttered in the wind.

Thunder Beast.

Lei Qing's beast.

Qiang!!!

A clear sword chime rang through the entire area!

It wasn't the sound of metal clashing.

But a sword chime in the truest sense.

The sound came from the third direction.

A silver-gray streak of light shot through the air like a Flying Sword!

Wherever the light passed, the air was sliced into faint ripples.

It was a silver-gray flying beast with a slender body like flowing clouds.

No scales.

No mane.

Only a streamlined body and nearly transparent wings.

But most startling was its aura.

Not the wild violence of ordinary Vicious Beasts.

But a... Sword Intent sharp enough to slice through everything!

That Sword Intent was so pure, it even faintly solidified into substance!

With a gentle flap of its wings, dozens of silver-gray Sword Qi shot out!

Wherever the Sword Qi passed, deep gouges were carved into the ground!

The massive tail swung by the Iron-Spined Dragon Lizard, the moment it touched the Sword Qi.

Blood mist exploded!

Scales flew!

The Iron-Spined Dragon Lizard howled in pain and retreated frantically!

Its eyes were full of terror!

This flying beast was not an ordinary Vicious Beast at all!

It was!!!

A Sword Physique beast.

Xiao Chen's beast.

Heavenly Sword Beast.

Three beasts appeared at the same time.

Three completely different terrifying auras, like three pillars supporting the heavens, crashed into the battlefield!

The extreme cold that froze all things.

The lightning that destroyed everything.

The peerlessly sharp Sword Qi.

The four Purple Crystal Second Stage Vicious Beasts retreated together under the suppression of these three auras!

They looked at these three uninvited guests who had suddenly joined the fray with suspicion and uncertainty.

For the first time, fear appeared in their eyes.

Lei Qing strode forward.

He grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"You animals!"

"Die obediently!"

The battle!

Was on the verge of breaking out!

The Profound Frost Heavenly Luan flapped its wings lightly, and the ice-blue light poured down like a heavenly river, firmly suppressing the Profound Ice Python!

The Profound Ice Python spat frantically, its ice-blue cold air colliding with the Profound Frost Heavenly Luan's ice-blue light, making a sizzling freezing sound!

Anyone could see.

The Profound Frost Heavenly Luan firmly held the upper hand!

The Thunder Beast roared to the heavens!

The single horn on its forehead glowed with intense purple light, and purple-green thunder pillars crashed down one after another!

The Sky-Rending Wind Falcon dodged frantically, but it was still swept by the electrical arcs several times!

Several charred wounds had already appeared on its wings!

Most startling was the Heavenly Sword Beast.

It didn't even get close to the Iron-Spined Dragon Lizard.

It just hovered in mid-air, its wings vibrating gently.

With every vibration, dozens of silver-gray Sword Qi shot out!

Those Sword Qi were like living things, attacking the Iron-Spined Dragon Lizard from all directions!

The Iron-Spined Dragon Lizard was hard-pressed to defend, and dozens of bloody gashes had already appeared on its body!

Its scales were like thin paper before the Sword Qi!

And the Gold Fierce Beast pack behind the four Purple Crystal Second Stage Vicious Beasts.

At this moment, they were completely intimidated by these terrifying auras.

Among the twenty Gold Fierce Beasts, not a single one dared to step forward to assist!

They just formed a circle from afar, shivering.

Yet they were unwilling to retreat just like that.

They were waiting for an opportunity.

Waiting for a turning point in the battle of those Purple Crystal Vicious Beasts.

Then... they would swarm forward.

And at this moment.

At the edge of the square.

Jiang Yun watched this scene quietly.

His gaze first landed on Zhao Zhao's Blazing Sun Golden Lion.

A blue light quietly appeared deep in his eyes.

① First evolution... After Jiang Yun finished reading, he thought to himself.

This Zhao Zhao indeed has some skill.

Blazing Sun Golden Lion, diamond rank peak Aptitude, and the skill configuration is quite reasonable.

It has attack, defense, and control, as well as an epic-level defensive skill.

At the rank of eighty-first on the Heavenly Ranking, it's not a disgrace.

But... Jiang Yun shook his head slightly.

Compared to Little Fire and Little Skylark, this Blazing Sun Golden Lion is more than just a little bit worse.

Little Fire's [Water-Fire Dragon Domain] is a Legendary Domain, with the triple effects of Dominator amplification + attribute suppression + Dragon Domain intimidation.

Little Skylark's [Divine Roc True Form] is a Legendary Bloodline skill; once activated, all attributes increase significantly, and the Wind-Thunder power undergoes a qualitative change.

As for the Blazing Sun Golden Lion... its strongest skill is only at the epic level.

It doesn't even have a single Legendary one.

If they fought at the same rank.

Jiang Yun even believed that Little Skylark could easily crush it.

After all, Little Skylark had just undergone a Bloodline transformation.

Those pale golden electrical arcs, that near-Origin thunder attribute aura... it was definitely not something an ordinary diamond rank peak beast could compare to.

Jiang Yun withdrew his gaze.

Then, he looked at Xiao Chen's Heavenly Sword Beast.

The blue light appeared again.

③ Third evolution: Evolve into [Divine Sword Heavenly Dragon] · Legendary High Grade Aptitude. Based on the Sword Emperor Beast, fuse Dragon Clan Bloodline and sword Dao Origin... After Jiang Yun finished reading, his pupils shrank slightly.

Meteor Low Grade Aptitude.

That's a whole major rank higher than diamond rank peak.

And... a special Sword Physique?!

He had never seen this kind of beast.

It wasn't an ordinary Vicious Beast, but... one with a sword for a body and Sword Intent for a soul.

No wonder he had sensed a faint Sword Qi from Xiao Chen before.

He had thought Xiao Chen was a Sword Cultivator.

He had even wondered how there could be a Sword Cultivator in this beast-taming world.

Could there be other Cultivate systems besides beast taming?

Only now did he understand.

That sharp and overbearing Sword Qi didn't emanate from Xiao Chen at all.

It came from his beast.

The connection between a beast and its Beast Tamer allowed Xiao Chen to be tainted with a hint of Sword Intent.

But this hint of Sword Intent was just an aftereffect.

What was truly terrifying was the Heavenly Sword Beast itself.

A hint of surprise welled up in Jiang Yun's heart.

The beasts of this world were indeed more diverse than he had imagined.

Not only were there ordinary birds and beasts.

There were those with Dragon Clan Bloodlines like Little Fire.

There were those containing ancient Divine Beast Bloodlines like Little Skylark.

There were Yao Race sovereigns with all Five Elements like Fox Immortal.

Now, a Sword Physique beast had appeared.

Perhaps there were even more unique beasts he had never seen before.

This world was far broader than what he had seen.

Just as Jiang Yun was sighing with emotion.

He suddenly noticed some movement.

His gaze shifted slightly.

And landed on those twenty Gold Fierce Beasts.

They were still circling, not participating in the Amethyst Rank battle.

But their posture had quietly changed.

They were no longer shivering.

Instead... they were ready to move.

Their gazes occasionally swept over the Amethyst Rank beasts currently in fierce battle.

They swept over Lei Qing, Liu Qingshuang, and Xiao Chen.

They swept over Zhao Zhao.

Their eyes flickered with a cold, eerie light.

They were waiting.

Waiting for even a single opening in the battle of those Amethyst Rank Vicious Beasts.

Then.

They would swarm forward.

To ambush them.

Jiang Yun, however, wasn't panicked at all.

Since entering Ash Town.

He hadn't truly made a move yet.

These Gold Fierce Beasts were just right for testing.

After its transformation, just how strong had Little Skylark become, and what changes would there be?

He took a deep breath.

"Little Skylark."

His voice was very soft.

But it carried a hint of anticipation that he hadn't even noticed himself.

"Come out."
