55: A powerful blow

The pseudo-Transcendent pressure was like a deluge of icy water, instantly dousing the flames of anger that had ignited within the Eagle Claw Beastmaster and the Serpent Scale Beast Herder.

The chilling shivers from the depths of their souls caused their hovering figures to tremble slightly. For the first time, the shadow of “fear” was clearly reflected in their golden vertical pupils and serpentine vertical pupils.

“How… how is this possible?!”

The Eagle Claw Beastmaster’s throat tightened, his voice dry and hoarse.

His proud “Sky-Rending Eagle Strike,” capable of tearing through refined steel, had been so effortlessly erased by the opponent, as if brushing away a speck of dust.

That silently annihilated attack was more despair-inducing than any earth-shattering explosion.

The Serpent Scale Beast Herder, moreover, felt all his scales stand on end, and fine cold sweat seeped from beneath his grayish-green skin.

His renowned venomous demonic energy, in the face of that tiny black rift, was as fragile as a dewdrop in the sun.

The corrosive power contained within “Twin Fangs Entanglement” seemed capable of eroding even space into ripples, yet it failed to stir even a single ripple on that rift.

However, as guardians of the Barren Rock Ranch, seeing the Alien Queen still efficiently harvesting their “property” below, and seeing the beast blood, the fruit of their hard work and power, flowing all over the ground, a surge of furious rage, born from utterly trampled dignity, once again overwhelmed their fear.

“Form up! ‘Barren Rock Soul Bind’!”

The Eagle Claw Beastmaster let out a roar filled with resolve, the scales on his neck completely flared out, like the mane of an enraged lion.

He forcefully plunged the massive eagle claw bone weapon in his hand into the void before him, and crimson demonic energy, like burning magma, surged wildly into the bone weapon.

The Serpent Scale Beast Herder immediately understood, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.

He no longer attempted long-range attacks; instead, he fiercely plunged the pair of venomous fangs in his hand into his own palms!

Viscous blood, shimmering with an eerie green light, instantly gushed out, greedily absorbed by the fangs.

He growled, then violently hurled the fangs, saturated with venomous demonic blood and life essence, towards the base of the Eagle Claw Beastmaster’s bone weapon.

“Buzz!”

A dull hum resonated through the heavens and earth.

The dark red patterns on the Eagle Claw Beastmaster’s bone weapon suddenly erupted with dazzling light. The fangs, having absorbed their companion’s venomous demonic blood, embedded themselves like two malignant tumors at the base of the bone claw, instantly spreading countless eerie green energy veins, like living tendrils, which wrapped around and covered the entire bone claw.

An extremely peculiar and massive energy field, a blend of the earth’s profoundness, the eagle’s sharpness, and the serpent’s insidious malice, suddenly took shape!

This was not a simple attack, but a binding force field constructed with their Gold-level peak demonic energy as the core, combined with bloodline secret arts and the sacrifice of a portion of their life essence!

It was their trump card combined secret technique!

“Suppress!”

The two shouted in unison, forming complex hand seals and pressing down fiercely!

That vast energy field, merging crimson and eerie green light, like a colossal, inverted molten venom bowl, descended with terrifying pressure that could imprison space and corrode souls, roaring down to envelop the Alien Queen below!

Wherever it passed, the air became viscous and heavy, and even light seemed to be twisted and devoured.

The beasts prostrate on the ground, under this combined pressure, soiled themselves and their wails grew faint.

The Alien Queen finally ceased its slaughter.

It raised its head, covered in black exoskeleton, its cold compound eyes reflecting the rapidly descending force field, emanating an ominous light.

It sensed the power contained within it, enough to temporarily trap a pseudo-Transcendent.

But in its eyes, this power still carried a hint of… crudeness.

The Queen chose neither to meet it head-on nor to evade it.

On its back, covered in a smooth exoskeleton, the chitinous carapace rapidly writhed and split open like a living thing.

Six bone spikes, shimmering with a cold metallic luster like spears, instantly shot out!

These bone spikes were not physical entities, but highly condensed pseudo-Transcendent energy with space-tearing properties!

“Chh! Chh! Chh! Chh! Chh! Chh!”

Six black lines, so tiny as to be almost invisible, pierced precisely into the six most crucial nodes of the massive energy field at a speed beyond visual capture—these were the core of the Eagle Claw Beastmaster’s bone weapon, the Serpent Scale Beast Herder’s fangs’ insertion points, and four energy circulation hubs!

“Puff, puff, puff, puff, puff, puff!”

Dull thuds, like balloons being pricked by needles, sounded in quick succession.

That seemingly indestructible “Barren Rock Soul Bind” force field, containing the desperate power of both individuals, shattered at its six critical nodes the moment it came into contact with the spatial bone spikes!

The entire massive energy structure, like a punctured bubble, instantly twisted violently, expanded, and then exploded with a roar!

“Boom!!!”

A violent energy turbulence swept out like an out-of-control hurricane. Crimson demonic flames and eerie green venomous mist, mixed with torn spatial fragments, formed a destructive energy storm.

The shockwave violently threw the two Beastmasters in the air. They tumbled like kites with broken strings, spurting blood, their aura instantly plummeting by a large margin.

Their proud combined secret technique was so vulnerable to the Queen’s precise “pressure point” attack!

“Now!”

Lin Feng, who had been calmly observing through the Queen’s perspective, his eyes flashed with brilliance.

He caught the momentary stiffness and flaw that appeared in the Eagle Claw Beastmaster due to the backlash of the secret art and the energy impact!

This flaw was extremely subtle and fleeting, but for the pseudo-Transcendent Alien Queen, it was enough!

The Queen’s figure suddenly blurred in place, with no afterimage, no sound of wind, as if it had directly merged into the cracks of space.

In the next instant, it appeared like a ghost behind the Eagle Claw Beastmaster, who had just barely stabilized himself and was groaning in pain from the backlash!

The slender tail blade, covered in black exoskeleton and shimmering with a cold metallic luster, shot out silently like the scythe of death!

The tip of the tail blade gleamed with an eerie light capable of piercing stars, carrying a terrifying sharpness that tore through space, and stabbed with unmatched precision towards the dark brown scales covering the Eagle Claw Beastmaster’s back!

“Pfft!”

The dull thud of a sharp blade entering flesh was clearly audible.

The tough, scale-covered skin and strong muscles were as fragile as paper in front of the pseudo-Transcendent tail blade!

The tail blade pierced through the Eagle Claw Beastmaster’s chest without obstruction, emerging from his front, carrying a spray of hot, golden blood radiating a rich demonic aura!

“Ugh ah!!!”

The Eagle Claw Beastmaster let out an earth-shattering scream, his golden vertical pupils instantly dilated to the extreme due to excruciating pain and disbelief.

He felt his heart being instantly pierced, and violent Xenomorph energy surged wildly into his body along the tail blade, wantonly destroying his vitality and demonic energy!

The huge eagle claw bone weapon slipped from his grasp and fell. His burly body, as if all its bones had been removed, instantly lost all strength and plummeted straight down from mid-air towards the foul-smelling earth littered with monster carcasses!

“Big Brother!!!”

The Serpent Scale Beast Herder’s eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a heart-wrenching shriek.

He watched helplessly as his companion was severely wounded and pierced. The fear in his heart was instantly replaced by overwhelming grief and madness.

He disregarded his own injuries, frantically pushing his demonic energy, wanting to dive down to rescue him.

However, the Alien Queen was even faster!

It plunged down, closely following the falling Eagle Claw Beastmaster, its massive body carrying unparalleled might, instantly landing beside the severely wounded and dying Beastmaster.

Its cold, gleaming claws were raised high, condensing destructive power, aimed at the Eagle Claw Beastmaster’s scale-covered head, ready to deliver the final blow!

“Wait!”
