Chapter 32 Battle between Tier 4, Chu Han appears
The battle was on the verge of breaking out.
The three members of the Night Owl Squad waved their arms, throwing the Thunder Balls in their hands toward the area around the Black-Maned Lion King.
Instantly, the Thunder Balls released a massive amount of lightning energy, illuminating the entire cave in an instant.
Thick bolts of lightning raged like thunder snakes, intertwining and tangling with each other to quickly form a giant lightning net, tightly enveloping the Black-Maned Lion King within.
Countless bolts of lightning struck the Black-Maned Lion King's body, causing it immense pain and making it let out a series of shrill howls.
The Black-Maned Lion King struggled frantically, trying to break free from the constraints of the electric net, but the net was exceptionally sturdy and impossible to escape.
Chu Han watched from the side, inwardly marvelling. These people had indeed come prepared; with such means, even a Fourth-Tier Martial Artist Black-Maned Lion King would find it difficult to withstand.
However, the Black-Maned Lion King did not just sit and wait for death. It let out a roar, and a black ball of light quickly condensed in its mouth.
Immediately after, the black light ball shot toward the electric net like a cannonball.
"Boom!"
With a loud explosion, the black light ball slammed heavily into the electric net, creating a violent blast.
The powerful impact instantly destroyed the three Lightning Beads, and the electric net covering the Black-Maned Lion King's body vanished.
Nevertheless, the effects of the electric net still had a significant impact on the Black-Maned Lion King; its aura had clearly weakened a great deal.
Moreover, the paralyzing effect of the lightning still lingered on its body, making it unable to move for a moment!
Seeing this opportunity, Night Owl struck without hesitation.
He swung the longsword in his hand, and a large amount of Thunder Attribute Origin Power quickly gathered onto the blade. He transformed into a sharp bolt of electric light and shot toward the Black-Maned Lion King, shouting, "Swift Thunder Thrust!"
This sword strike was incredibly fast. Combined with Night Owl's own Thunder Attribute Origin Power and talent, the power of this blow was staggering.
In the blink of an eye, it pierced through the Black-Maned Lion King's neck, causing the beast to be paralyzed by lightning once again.
Unfortunately, Night Owl's strike missed slightly due to the Black-Maned Lion King's struggling, but it still inflicted a serious injury on the beast.
"So powerful! Night Owl's strength is truly terrifying!"
Chu Han watched, a look of solemnity appearing on his face.
The other members of the Night Owl Squad seized this chance, each performing their own Martial Skill to attack the Black-Maned Lion King. Instantly, attacks of various colors rained down upon the beast.
Although these people were weaker, their collective attacks still caused some damage to the Black-Maned Lion King, making its injuries increasingly severe.
Having been repeatedly wounded by "ants," the Black-Maned Lion King was instantly enraged.
It tilted its head back and let out a world-shaking roar, causing the entire cave to tremble violently.
Simultaneously, a burst of black Origin Power erupted from its body, and a shockwave of energy quickly swept through the surroundings.
The members of the Night Owl Squad who were close to it were instantly sent flying by this force.
One 2nd Rank Martial Artist, who was closest, was killed on the spot as the force caused him to bleed from his facial orifices.
The others were also heavily injured by the shockwave, falling to the ground one after another, groaning in pain.
Night Owl was also pushed back. A look of ruthlessness flashed in his eyes as he raised his longsword again, gathering Thunder Attribute Origin Power and rushing toward the Black-Maned Lion King like a bolt of lightning.
The longsword in his hand slashed heavily into the Black-Maned Lion King's neck.
"Raging Thunder Slash!"
Infinite lightning energy erupted instantly, leaving a massive, charred wound on the Black-Maned Lion King's neck, with blood gushing out wildly.
This blow dealt a heavy blow to the Black-Maned Lion King!
But it also counterattacked at the same time, its giant claw, imbued with black Origin Power, slamming heavily into Night Owl.
Unable to dodge in time, Night Owl was struck by the claw. The Yuan Qi Armor on his body shattered instantly, and he was sent flying, crashing heavily against the cave wall.
"Cough."
Night Owl spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly having sustained some injuries. However, the Yuan Qi Armor had helped him block most of the damage, so his injuries were not too severe.
"So that's Yuan Qi Armor. To take a furious blow from the Black-Maned Lion King and only suffer this much damage!"
"Fourth-Tier Martial Artists are indeed powerful and difficult to deal with."
Chu Han stared intently at Night Owl, inwardly pondering ways to deal with the Yuan Qi Armor.
However, the battle on the field was not over yet.
The Black-Maned Lion King's aura surged, and like a dying struggle, it frantically attacked Night Owl.
The ruthlessness in Night Owl's eyes did not fade as he once again engaged the Black-Maned Lion King in battle.
Instantly, the man and the beast were locked in a fierce fight within the cave.
Night Owl did not go head-to-head with the Black-Maned Lion King; instead, he used his Thunder-attributed speed to constantly maneuver around it.
Although the Black-Maned Lion King was furious, its attacks could not touch Night Owl's body.
Instead, it was being worn down by Night Owl, its injuries mounting and its aura steadily weakening.
If this continued, the Black-Maned Lion King would undoubtedly lose.
The Black-Maned Lion King let out an unwilling roar and stopped chasing Night Owl, instead opening its mouth to spit out a pillar of black light.
It was the Black-Maned Lion's ultimate move, Black Flame Light!
Night Owl was pale with fright at the sight and hurriedly used a movement Martial Skill to dodge.
But his subordinates were not so lucky. A Third-Tier Martial Artist was directly pierced by the light pillar, and the remaining First and Second-Tier Martial Artists suffered heavy casualties.
This move was the Black-Maned Lion King's final trump card, but it still failed to hit Night Owl and consumed a massive amount of energy.
After the black light pillar disappeared, the Black-Maned Lion King's aura plummeted, making it difficult to maintain its state.
Night Owl immediately launched a series of fierce attacks, and finally, the Black-Maned Lion King fell at Night Owl's feet, its life force completely gone.
This intense battle had finally come to an end.
Although Night Owl had successfully killed the Black-Maned Lion King, he was also significantly injured, and the Origin Power in his body was heavily depleted.
More than half of the other members of the Night Owl Squad were dead or injured, and those still alive all bore injuries of varying degrees.
For this team of Slayers, it could be described as a pyrrhic victory.
However, as Night Owl looked at the corpse of the Black-Maned Lion King, a greedy smile appeared on his face: "Your cub is mine now, hahahaha!"
Hiding to the side, Chu Han suddenly understood.
So Night Owl's true target was the Black-Maned Lion King's cub!
No wonder the Night Owl Squad was willing to take such a huge risk to hunt the Black-Maned Lion King.
One must know that a newborn exotic beast cub is extremely valuable, far exceeding the Materials from a Black-Maned Lion King's corpse. Whether it's sold for money or raised personally, it's an exceptionally rare treasure!
Especially for Martial Artists with Beast Taming Talent, an exotic beast cub of this level is even more precious—something that can be sought but not easily found.
"The Black-Maned Lion Cub is mine."
Chu Han was delighted, having already claimed the Night Owl Squad's spoils as his own.
The way he looked at Night Owl was no different than looking at a dead man.
Thus, he no longer hid himself and suddenly appeared before everyone!
He swung the blood shadow battle saber in his hand, a cold gleam flashed, and he instantly killed the only remaining Third-Tier Martial Artist in the Night Owl Squad.
Chu Han's sudden attack shocked Night Owl and the others.
Being able to instantly kill a Third-Tier Martial Artist showed how powerful the person who ambushed them was.
"Who are you?"
Night Owl's gaze instantly fell on Chu Han, his eyes filled with shock and killing intent.
Chu Han did not answer, merely looking at him playfully.
Night Owl suddenly thought of something and said through gritted teeth, "It's you! You're the one who killed my brother!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the others also understood.
Only the Martial Artist who killed Night Owl's brother would be most likely to find this place!
Chu Han did not deny it. He stood there calmly and said coldly, "That's right, it's me. Today, none of you should even think about leaving!"
