84: Chapter 84 Chen Qing Makes a Move
" Doll Girl! " Yang Juan shouted in pleasant surprise.
Song Jiang, assuming Li Yu didn't know her, explained to him, " We hit the jackpot. This girl is a core member of the Rongrong Battle Group. The Rongrong Battle Group is at the same level as the Earth Battle Group; they are one of the top ten battle groups in Ningyang City. "
" They are that powerful? " Li Yu asked in surprise.
" You bet! The Earth Battle Group is ranked seventh, while the Rongrong Battle Group is sixth. In the past, the Earth Battle Group's leader was often beaten up by the Rongrong Group's big sister, to the point where he developed a trauma from it. With Doll Girl here, the guys from the Earth Battle Group will at least show some restraint. " Song Jiang chuckled.
" I'm afraid... that may not be the case. " Li Yu's expression suddenly became strange.
The Rongrong Group leader had successively sought out several Breeders to evolve her beast, but all attempts ended in failure. It was even rumored that the Volcano Dragon suffered a backlash from the failed evolution and was nearing death.
Even Zhou Ya knew this news, so how could the people from the Earth Battle Group not know?
Perhaps the Rongrong Group had some deterrent power before, but what about now? The Volcano Dragon had fallen. It was impossible for the Rongrong Battle Group to remain unaffected.
Thinking of this, Li Yu looked at Wang Ye, only to see the latter's expression change slightly at first, followed by a mocking smile.
As expected... " Doll Girl? Why aren't you staying in the Huo Rong Mystic Realm? What brings you to our Thick Earth Mystic Realm? " Wang Ye said slowly. " I don't recall the Thick Earth Mystic Realm having any treasures to treat the Volcano Dragon. "
Doll Girl looked disdainful and said, " Tch! Wang, stop listening to fake news. Our Volcano Dragon is doing just fine. Instead, why are you surrounding my friend? Do you want to fight with the Rongrong Group? "
" Since the Rongrong Group insists on getting involved, a fight is not out of the question. " Wang Ye laughed.
Doll Girl's smile stiffened, and she waved her hand, saying, " Forget it. Bullying the few with the many, you guys really have no shame. Hurry up and clear the way, lest things escalate and make it hard for your boss. He'll just get beaten up by our big sister again. "
At these words, Wang Ye laughed heartily. " Times have changed, Doll Girl. Do you really think I don't know the situation with the Volcano Dragon? " Wang Ye snorted. " To tell you the truth, the Master Sun you hired last time is our leader's uncle. Who do you think you can hide the Volcano Dragon's condition from? "
Doll Girl's pupils constricted, and she shouted in shock, " It was you! That's impossible! "
Li Yu was also somewhat surprised. So that was it. After the Volcano Dragon's failed evolution last time, its condition took a sharp turn for the worse. It seemed it wasn't because the evolution went poorly, but because it had been sabotaged.
Chen Danian and the others exchanged glances, seeing a hint of trouble in each other's eyes.
Wang Ye let out a raspy laugh, and after he had laughed enough, he said, " Now that the Volcano Dragon is dying and the Rongrong Battle Group can barely protect itself, you still have the leisure to meddle in our Earth Battle Group's affairs. You really have a death wish. But it doesn't matter. After taking care of this kid, we'll deal with you all; the result will be the same. "
As his voice fell, the surrounding subordinates brought their beasts and closed in on Li Yu and the others.
" Damn it! " Doll Girl's face was grim. She made a gesture, and the Lava Salamander rapidly swelled in size, preparing for battle.
Chen Danian and the others also commanded their beasts to prepare for battle.
The Sandstorm Crocodile took two steps forward. The sense of oppression brought by its massive size was not the slightest bit weaker than the Lava Salamander and the Rock-Armored Rhinoceros; its level advantage was clear.
Driven by the Sandstorm Crocodile, the surroundings were covered in a thick layer of sandstorm.
" Damn it! My vision is blocked! " Song Jiang shouted, spitting sand out of his mouth with a " ptooey ".
" Protect Li Yu! Find a way to break through the encirclement! " Chen Danian said, covering his mouth.
" Understood! " Yang Juan said.
As they spoke, several Silver beasts moved first.
The enlarged Lava Salamander and the Rock-Armored Rhinoceros charged at the Sandstorm Crocodile. With a " bang ", the three beasts collided, emitting a thunderous sound like a mountain exploding.
This blow knocked the Sandstorm Crocodile back two steps, but the next second, the surrounding sandstorm changed direction and rushed toward the Lava Salamander and the Rock-Armored Rhinoceros.
Tiny sand grains were like dense bullets, raining down with a pitter-patter, causing the less defense-oriented Lava Salamander to suffer in pain.
Wang Ye laughed, " The desert is the Sandstorm Crocodile's home turf. Even if your two Silver beasts attack together, they are no match for it. Besides, I have so many subordinates. Do you really think you can protect that person cowering inside the turtle shell? Haha~ "
The distance between the two sides was very close. In the time it took to speak, the other beasts of the Earth Battle Group closed in on Li Yu and the others.
Just as Doll Girl and Chen Danian's group looked grave, Chen Qing suddenly stepped out from behind Li Yu, and as the beasts lunged, she leaped past the people in front.
" Careful! " " Be careful, beauty! " Chen Danian, Doll Girl, and the others shouted one after another.
Swish! A cold gleam flashed by.
The surrounding violent sandstorm suddenly fell silent. Those beasts seemed to be frozen by a mysterious force, hovering in mid-air, unable to move.
Chen Qing sheathed her sword, turned around, leaped past the people who were exclaiming, and came to Li Yu's side. After thinking for a moment, she stood behind Li Yu again.
Just as she stood still, a few " pfft " sounds were heard. The heads of the nearest circle of beasts were sprayed off by pillars of blood and rolled onto the sandy ground, splattering crimson blood all over Chen Danian and the others.
It passed through the gaps between them and landed on Li Yu. Chen Qing stood behind Li Yu, not a single drop of blood on her.
The four of them constricted their pupils, looking as if they had seen a ghost.
A commotion broke out in the crowd. Those whose beasts had been slain suffered a backlash; some vomited blood, others fainted.
" What just happened? " " That woman! It was that woman who attacked. Such terrifying strength! " " We're all supposed to be Beast Tamers, so how did a Sword Cultivator get mixed in? Is she cheating? " " Ah Hu, oh Ah Hu... " " ... "
The crowd's exclamations brought the shocked Wang Ye back to his senses.
Looking at the neat and smooth cuts on the beasts' necks, the image of the dismembered Sand Scorpion King appeared in his mind. His expression suddenly turned grim. " So that's it. You are the one who slew the Sand Scorpion King. You certainly have strength! "
" However... " Wang Ye paused and said, " If you think this is enough to win against us, you are greatly mistaken. They are just a few Bronze and black iron beasts; we have as many as we want! "
Chen Qing muttered softly, " Stupid. "
" What did you say? " Wang Ye really hadn't heard clearly and asked again.
Li Yu coughed lightly and said, " Well... to translate, she said that not only are you ugly, but you're also dim-witted. She suspects your mother threw the baby away and raised the placenta instead. "
Chen Qing: ??? Was that what I meant?
" You're courting death! " Wang Ye said with a dark face, gritting his teeth.
But at this moment, a " pfft " sound rang out. A familiar sound, a familiar precursor.
The Sandstorm Crocodile's head tilted and rolled onto the ground, and blood fell onto the Lava Salamander's burning hot body, sizzling and smoking.
The surroundings were dead silent.
Li Yu pinned a badge onto his protective suit, took two steps forward, and laughed, " I didn't hear clearly just now, what were you saying? "
The dim light fell on the badge, refracting a clear outline. When Wang Ye saw the badge clearly, his expression gradually spiraled out of control, and a chill struck his heart.
Senior Cultivator! I... I'm trying to rob a Senior Cultivator?! Mom... I've made it big.
