Chapter 348: Chapter 344: Summoning Technique – Death Dragon

“Can that thing withstand the Power of Death?”

Seeing the Abominable Butcher still capable of activity in the face of the Power of Death, Bai Qi couldn’t help but be somewhat surprised.

Ever since Alpha acquired the Power of Death, apart from the Death Knight and the Jiuyou Darkbird, which were naturally endowed with the Power of Death or were mythic creatures, this was the first time Bai Qi saw a creature choose to confront the Power of Death.

And it seemed to be on the verge of success.

If Alpha was engulfed by that meat mountain, it would indeed be hard for it to escape.

Fortunately, Alpha, a seasoned warrior, flexed both arms upon seeing the butcher’s state. The Sword of the Wind Chaser and the Sword of Death broke free simultaneously from the rotting flesh, cutting the surrounding rotten flesh into tiny fragments like a meat grinder.

But the Abominable Butcher, like a machine, disregarded the flesh that was cut into pieces. From the broken Bloody Butcher’s Knife, flesh buds sprouted and regrew into a complete butcher knife.

Not only that, but the Bloody Flesh Hook, which had been sliced into fragments by the Blade of the Wind Chaser, also regrew. It rang with a crisp sound as the Abominable Butcher swayed it.

“Rotten flesh regeneration, is that even scientifically possible?”

The onlookers were surprised and began to feel pessimistic about Bai Qi’s fight.

Although Alpha’s attacks were very fast and sharp, they probably wouldn’t be of much use against this un-killable creature.

“This doesn’t seem like regeneration…”

Bai Qi squinted his eyes, watching the Abominable Butcher, which had quickly returned to its original state and had begun to move towards Alpha for the first time, and he pondered.

“Alpha, try using the Undying Flame.”

Creaking sounds.

(Boss, I was thinking the same.)

Alpha nodded, the Sword of Wind Chaser was replaced with a flame sword, and the two swords swung simultaneously, attacking the Abominable Butcher once again.

This time, the Abominable Butcher did not allow Alpha to attack freely, swinging the Bloody Butcher’s Knife and the Flesh Hook in retaliation. Each strike was enormously powerful, producing shockwaves so strong that even the audience outside could clearly sense them.

But these attacks still couldn’t hit Alpha even once. One could only see Alpha skillfully maneuvering around the Abominable Butcher, cleaving off a large chunk of rotting flesh with each stroke, all of which were either completely annihilated by the Power of Death or burned to Nihility by the Undying Flame.

However, the Abominable Butcher’s rotten flesh seemed to be endless. No matter how much Alpha cut off, it would quickly regenerate, even actively cutting off parts corroded by the Power of Death and the Undying Flame.

“Bai Qi is on the defense.”

Duanmeng frowned slightly as he noticed what was happening. Even though the Abominable Butcher hadn’t shown any particularly powerful abilities, this limitless regenerative ability gave it numerous chances to make mistakes.

For Alpha, if it made a mistake once, it might not be able to escape from the meat mountain and would end up being corroded by the Power of Plague.

Duanmeng understood very clearly that this Power of Plague didn’t just corrode the body. Even though Alpha was an undead creature, its soul might still be tainted.

According to the current situation, Alpha might need to prioritize opening the force field to ease the awkward situation.

Thinking this, Duanmeng looked at Bai Qi, wanting to see how he would handle it. However, he was surprised to see that Bai Qi didn’t look the least bit distressed. Instead, he wore a cheerful smile.

“I thought it really was regenerating rotting flesh. Turns out it just stored a lot of rotting flesh in advance.”

Bai Qi smiled and said, “Alpha, there’s no need to probe anymore. Break down its shell.”

Alpha nodded, and a sharp sword intent burst forth. The speed of his sword attack soared; it went from a dazzling display to completely disappearing from everyone’s sight.

“Is this Bai Qi’s true strength…”

Watching Alpha, who had become like a meat grinder, continually dissecting the Abominable Butcher, Lu Yuan, who stood among the students, was filled with awe.

If the previous pets had surprised him, then Alpha’s performance thus far could only be described as stupefying.

Could a skeleton soldier really be trained to be so formidable?

Not only Lu Yuan but also Sima Zhao, as a participant, lost his initial indifference. Watching the Abominable Butcher’s rate of recovery gradually fail to keep up with Alpha’s attacking speed, a flash of green light in his eyes caused the Abominable Butcher to blow itself up.

In an instant, rotting flesh mixed with the plague’s toxins exploded everywhere, creating a wave of bloody flesh on the platform. The enormous force made the space barrier violently shake.

Seeing this, Alpha immediately retreated, and the Sword of Death danced into a sphere, keeping the decaying flesh out. But before it could stop, a huge skeleton wrapped in evil aura appeared in front of Alpha.

The pale skeleton still had flesh and blood from unknown creatures clinging to it. Crimson chains, like blood vessels, entwined the skeleton. The chains’ ends held the bloody Flesh Hook while the right hand held that oversized Bloody Butcher’s Knife.

The bloody glow circulated on the butcher’s knife, where one could vaguely see the blood vessels hidden beneath the blade. It seemed as if the abominable butcher wasn’t holding a knife in his hand, but a living being of flesh and blood.

With his true form revealed, the abominable butcher was no longer sluggish as before. The huge butcher’s knife in his hand felt weightless, transforming into a trace of afterimage slashing towards the top of Alpha’s head.

“Turns out, it was hiding another form, truly crafty.”

Bai Qi made a snide remark while Sima Zhao on the opposite suddenly opened his mouth and said, “My abominable butcher, like your main pet, also evolved from a skeleton soldier, but my skeleton is of a mythical species, whereas yours, as far as I know, is just an ordinary skeleton.”

“I’ve been admiring you and have been keen to find you every day and study your beast.”

Well, turns out he is a fan then?

Bai Qi scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed. Just when he was about to respond, he saw a twisted expression appear on Sima Zhao’s face.

“Evolving from the most despicable servant to king−your pet must be worth dissecting. As long as it is chopped up, my abominable butcher can definitely advance a step further!”

Sima Zhao’s face bore a distorted smile and the abominable butcher also seemed to have taken Sima Zhao’s commands, wildly swinging the butcher’s knife and launching a series of crazed attacks on Alpha.

Facing the abominable butcher’s fierce attack, Alpha’s skeletal arms thickened to withstand every attack from the abominable butcher.

The two were directly chopping each other, unable to determine the winner for the moment. The stage beneath the two skeletons began to crack gradually, revealing the ground beneath the stage which was protected by the space barrier.

“Is the cultivating limit of skeleton soldiers so high?”

Watching the two astonishing skeletons in the field, all the students from both the Wuhou Dojo and Cao, Sun, Liu’s three dojos were stunned.

Although the rune evolution found a new evolutionary path for undead creatures, very few people chose skeleton soldiers as their pets for cultivation.

But now, there were two evolved types of skeleton soldiers fighting fiercely before them. The destructive power they displayed was only higher, not lower, than other king-level creatures.

Soon enough, the evenly matched situation was finally broken.

Observing the increasingly frantic abominable butcher, Alpha instantly switched weapons. The Gravity Sword, carrying powerful gravity, knocked the abominable butcher’s knife away with a single strike.

At the same time, Alpha brandished the Sword of Death in mid-air. Black threads were quickly traced in the air, meticulously forming complex marks of the Sword of Death. As the Sword of Death plunged in, a sky full of sword qi flew out.

Facing Alpha’s sudden attack, the abominable butcher had no chance to dodge and was completely engulfed in the river of sword qi.

Ding, ding, ding…

Soon, a series of metallic collisions sounded from within the rain of swords. The abominable butcher, whose body was already ragged due to the Sword Qi of Death, swung its chain to stand up within the rain of swords. The seemingly fragile iron chain was actually able to resist the Sword Qi of Death from Alpha, and the parts of the abominable butcher wrapped in the chain were not hurt by the Sword Qi of Death either.

“Damn, it’s strong enough to resist the Sword Qi of Death─what metal is this?”

Bai Qi was a bit surprised as he looked at the chain in the hand of the abominable butcher, vaguely finding it familiar.

“Alpha, cut off a piece of the metal.”

Creak creak.

(Rest assured, boss, I understand.)

Alpha nodded, the Sword of Death twisted in his hand, and the pattern of the Sword Rune abruptly changed. At the same time, it expanded layer by layer, quickly growing to the size of the stage.

A black giant dragon formed from the Power of Death then slowly drilled out of the array. It bit the fast-forwarding abominable butcher, and the already ragged butcher due to the Sword Qi of Death instantly started to rot at a visually perceptible speed.

Sword of Death·Summoning Technique·Death Dragon.

After being trained by the Jiuyou Darkbird, Alpha’s control over the Power of Death grew rapidly. Besides developing the Sword Qi of Death combined with runes, the Death Dragon was the most pure application of the Power of Death.

Combining the numerous spirits killed by Alpha, the Death Dragon that was formed by the fusion of the Power of Death seemed like a real dragon descending upon the world. The vast dragon’s majesty radiated wildly, shocking the surrounding audience.

“This is indeed surprising.”

The trio, Cao Bin, were hardly able to hide their surprise. It was hard for them to imagine such combat power possessed by a Fifth Stage creature.

Though unverified, their intuition told them that they could no longer regard Bai Qi as a promising junior, or else they would surely suffer.

The changes in the trio’s expression all fell into Zhuge Xu’s eyes. His already plump face completely broke into a blooming smile, appearing particularly brilliant against the silence of the stage.

Elf House, no, everything related to skeletons from Wuhou Corporation would sell like hot cakes.

Hmm, I should ask Bai Qi later if he doesn’t mind, I will make a promotional video for Wuhou Dojo using today’s battle footage.
