Chapter 347: Chapter 343: Abominable Butcher

Another challenger appeared out of nowhere?

Hearing Sima Jing’s words, Bai Qi couldn’t help but feel a bit confused.

On his way to the dojo, Zhuge Chen had briefly introduced to him the challengers who were going to engage in a match. Although their approach was suppressive, those who could endure it would have additional allies, and the other consortiums, who hadn’t arrived, wouldn’t come anymore.

This was an unspoken rule among the consortiums.

But now, judging by Sima Jing’s reaction, it seemed as if he wasn’t affiliated with the Cao, Sun, and Liu families?

“Apologies, I almost forgot the main point.”

Seeing that Bai Qi didn’t respond, Sima Jing turned to look at Zhuge Xu and said, “Our Zhonghu Dojo has been open a bit longer than your Wuhou Dojo, and so we’d also like to come and learn from your dojo. Surely, Chairman Zhuge wouldn’t refuse?”

Zhuge Xu’s expression soured, just as he was about to respond, Duanmeng beat him to it, saying, “Wuhou Dojo isn’t afraid of any challenge. I just don’t know how Chairman Sima plans to challenge us.”

“Simple, one-on-one. The Zhonghu Dojo will only send one person to challenge Bai Qi, one fight to determine the winner.”

Sima Jing was concise, but everyone present understood that his remarks were aimed at Bai Qi.

“What’s going on with this guy? Why is he suddenly targeting Bai Qi? Isn’t he afraid of being blacklisted by the association and Bai Chuanqi?”

Zhuge Xu was somewhat at a loss about Sima Jing’s intentions, but given the current state of affairs, he couldn’t refuse, especially given that Sima’s consortium was as powerful as the three houses beside him, and had recently been aligning closely with several influential families in the western region, garnering significant support. It wouldn’t be wise to upset them.

“If that’s the case, Master Wen, I’m counting on you.”

Zhuge Xu, well-versed with the other dojos in the Federation, fully understood the strength of the Zhonghu Dojo—it was considerably weak compared to the three houses. Unless something unexpected happened, it wouldn’t pose a challenge for Bai Qi.

“No problem, it’s not everyday one gets to witness such an exciting battle.”

Wen Ruoshui smiled, turned to Sima Jing, and asked, “I wonder who the Zhonghu Dojo will be sending to fight.”

Sima Jing remained silent as a man with black hair and green eyes stepped forward from the crowd and ascended the arena.

The Fifth Stage Beastmaster of the Zhonghu Dojo, Sima Zhao summoned his king-level creature—the Abominable Butcher.”

A sinister light flashed in Sima Zhao’s eyes, and an eerie-looking creature made up of countless chunks of flesh, wrapped in chains, and wielding a flesh hook and a bone-cutting knife, emerged before everyone after he activated the purple array.

Wow wow wow!

(It stinks so bad, I can’t bear it anymore!)

The moment the Abominable Butcher appeared, Beta immediately covered its mouth, ran to Bai Qi in a panic, brushed against the Secret Realm Ring and disappeared into it.

“Ugh, how could there be such a creature? A frankenstein?”

After the Husky left, Bai Qi finally smelled the stench emanating from the Abominable Butcher and couldn’t help but cover his nose. Sima Zhao, the owner of the Abominable Butcher, however, seemed unaffected, standing there quietly as he watched Bai Qi.

Fortunately, the Wuhou Dojo was equipped with a complete set of equipment that quickly isolated the smell to only within the arena, preventing it from leaking out.

“Bai Qi, it’s time for you to summon your pet.”

Wen Ruoshui looked at Bai Qi, who still had a disgusted look on his face, saying, “I am also curious about how your main pet has grown.”

At Wen Ruoshui’s words, Bai Qi nodded faintly. Looking at the Abominable Butcher, which emanated a bizarre aura over its entire body, he unhesitatingly summoned Alpha.

This object was too stinky for Beta, whose sense of smell was so sensitive it bordered on being ridiculous—it was outright torture. He wouldn’t do such a cruel thing.

Truly a compassionate soul, I am.

“So, this is the Death Sword Monarch. It certainly is powerful.”

Sima Jing’s eyes emitted a strange light. Sensing something, Alpha unconsciously looked in Sima Jing’s direction.

“What’s wrong, Alpha?”

Click clack, click clack.

(Boss, I’m feeling some malice.)

“Malice?”

Bai Qi thoughtfully glanced at Sima Jing and said, “Let’s fight first. This opponent seems a bit eerie.”

Click clack, click clack.

(Understood, boss.)

Alpha nodded, landed on the arena, and Bai Qi, once again, began introducing his pet.

“Fifth Stage Beastmaster of Wuhou Dojo, Bai Qi. King-level creature—Death Sword Monarch.”

After the contestants introduced themselves, Wen Ruoshui nodded but did not hastily announce the start of the match. Instead, he looked at the staff on the side and said, “Set all the equipment to maximum power.”

“Uh, okay.”

Although the staff was confused, they obediently set all the equipment to maximum power.

The Wuhou Dojo was a newly established one, and all its equipment was top-tier. Now that the power was turned up, it could easily withstand a battle of a Six Stage Beast Trainer.

“Well then, the two competitors, begin!”

When Wen Ruoshui announced the start of the match, Sima Zhao remained motionless, quietly looking at Bai Qi, while the Abominable Butcher slightly shook its body, and a green eerie gas leaked from its body and slowly spread around.

This poisonous gas seemed featureless, but the ring was visibly corroded at a rapid speed where it passed, transforming the vast platform into a Highly Poisonous Swamp.

“No wonder it smells so bad; it has indigestion.”

Bai Qi smacked his lips at this sight. Gamma’s breath was better, despite eating so many strange things, it didn’t have any odd smells, and even developed a bit of a fragrance recently due to eating a lot of delicacies.

But looking at the state of the Abominable Butcher, it seemed like he could enhance Gamma’s Deadly Poison Aura; this might unexpectedly yield miraculous results.

Bai Qi silently planned Gamma’s future development path, while on the ring, the situation had already changed.

Seeing the green poisonous gas that had engulfed him, Alpha made no move, but the poisonous gas avoided Alpha by itself and just kept circling around Alpha.

However, it was clear that Alpha had no intention of letting the gas spread. A flash of fire in its eyes caused an Undying Flame to ignite in the poisonous gas, the poisonous gas directly fed the Undying Flame, and the ring instantly turned into a sea of fire.

Seeing that Alpha so easily neutralised his poisonous gas, the Abominable Butcher finally made a move. He stubbornly threw out the hook in his hand, precisely aiming for Alpha.

Alpha, upon seeing this, was not in a rush. He stopped and pulled the Gravity Sword, smacking the hook hard into the ground.

At the same time, Alpha accelerated towards the Abominable Butcher, sticking closely to the chain.

Seeing this, the Abominable Butcher violently whipped the chain in his hand. The rusted sturdy chain immediately swung towards Alpha like a giant snake.

The whip was huge and heavy, and the speed was also extremely fast, but it was still somewhat slow in front of Alpha. After an instant flicker, the chain directly passed through Alpha and heavily smashed into the ground.

A dark green trace appeared on the ground. The parts hit by the chain seemed to be diseased, emitting a series of eerie gases. Even the Undying Flame could not burn it for the time being.

“Plague Chains, the Zhonghu Dojo has connections with the Western Region now.”

Noticing this, Duanmeng frowned slightly. With his sharp eyes, he naturally realised that this Abominable Butcher was the least welcomed and least popular Corpse Apartment among the Undead Department.

Just as they could see now, most creatures of the Corpse Apartment carry toxins, which can easily infect Beast Masters or other creatures. Add this to their distorted features, they are unacceptable in most parts of the Federation.

But there were exceptions, like the Western Region.

“The Sima family from the Central Region, the Western Region, these guys sure can put on a show.”

Duanmeng’s gaze on Sima Jing became increasingly chilling, and Zhuge Xu, who already had a lot of dealings with the Sima family, looked even more displeased.

This Sima family seems to be representing the families from the Western Region.

Seeing the attributes attached to the Plague Chains, Alpha once again accelerated his advance. The Abominable Butcher promptly tugged, causing the Bloody Flesh Hook, which was originally pressed to the ground by the Gravity Sword, to fly back towards Alpha’s head.

Perhaps because the gravity was enhanced, the speed of the Bloody Flesh Hook flying back was much faster than before, and it reached Alpha’s back in an instant. The merciless spike, still smeared with dark red fragments of flesh, aimed to hook Alpha’s spine.

Just as the Bloody Flesh Hook was about to hit Alpha, however, the hook suddenly broke apart. Before the broken pieces of the hook could hit the ground, it seemed to be cut by an invisible sword, shattering into countless fragments.

Moreover, as Alpha continued to advance, the Plague Chains along his path were all broken, as if no attack could approach Alpha.

The Sword of the Wind Chaser, although not as spectacular as the original sword blade storm, was more threatening because of its sharp attribute that could cut through everything.

In the blink of an eye, Alpha had come before the Abominable Butcher. He looked at the non-responsive huge mound of flesh before him, and his right hand turned into an afterimage. The black Sword of Death swept across the body of the Abominable Butcher like a black river.

A large chunk of rotten flesh fell from the Butcher’s body, and the black Power of Death coursed across these long-dead chunks of flesh, draining them of their last bit of energy.

Swish!

Just then, a gust of wind abruptly came from behind the rotten flesh. A blood-red butcher’s knife cut through the rotten flesh, slashing at Alpha, and from beneath the chunk of rotten flesh that Alpha had chopped off, a gruesome and huge mouth emerged from the body, and a huge sucking force pulled at Alpha as if to swallow him.

This figure could earn full marks for scaring off naughty children.

Looking at the mouth and the Bloody Butcher’s Knife getting closer and closer to him, the Sword of the Wind Chaser immediately appeared, and its green blade made an upward slash, directly inserting into the blade of the Bloody Butcher’s Knife. He stabbed his Sword of Death towards the gaping maw on the chest of the Abominable Butcher.

Roar!

The Sword of Death pierced its body, causing the Abominable Butcher to cry out in pain, but it showed no intention of backing off. The huge mouth clamped shut brutally biting onto the Sword of Death.

At the same time, the Bloody Butcher’s Knife, which should have been directly severed by the Sword of the Wind Chaser, had suddenly turned flesh-like and started to crawl towards Alpha along the blade.

Looking from afar, the three-meter-tall Alpha seemed like it was about to be swallowed by a mountain of flesh!
