Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

Chapter 102: Chapter 102 Hunter And Prey 5

"The Top Bead of the Direction Tree?" The old Ghost Snake elder's heart trembled. With his vast experience, he immediately recognized the item.

Raising his aged face, the old Ghost Snake elder was quite moved. Could it be that when the ancient Ghost faced Snake struck the Black Torties Shell, Blaze Regret had already calculated that Pit Rock would come out to ambush, and afterward, he would seize the opportunity to escape?

But how could that be? Just a young kid, how could he have such meticulous planning!

The Ghost faced Snake's tail merged, crushing the red bead into powder. The old Ghost Snake elder laughed angrily, "Good, very good. Kid, it seems I underestimated you. But are you so confident that you can keep me here today?"

"How would I know without trying?" Blaze Regret's lips curled into a smile.

Hearing this, the old Ghost Snake elder's face turned grim as he leaped off the Ghost faced Snake onto a tree branch, causing it to tremble slightly.

The Ghost faced Snake then raised its long Snake tail and struck out violently. The sharp blade at the tip of the tail was a dark green color.

"Snake Tail Needle?"

Blaze Regret's expression tightened slightly, and he immediately summoned the Ice Control Irenix, distancing himself from the battlefield.

The Snake Tail Needle was the signature spiritual technique of the Ghost faced Snake. It could concentrate all its venom into the metal blade at the tail. This venom was potent enough to take down a spirit beast of the same level.

Even with the Black Tortoise shell, Blaze Regret couldn't completely ignore the poison of the Ghost faced Snake. A mere touch of the venom would be enough to incapacitate him, given his strength as a second tier Spirit warrior.

"Clang!"

The violent strike of the tail needle landed heavily on the crossed blades of the Wind Splitting Mantis. A ripple of light green poison quickly spread out, turning the branches and leaves it touched into a dark green color, which then disintegrated into powder when the wind blew.

Although the Wind Splitting Mantis's twin blades turned faintly green, being a spirit puppet, the poison didn't harm it much.

"Swish!"

The extended its arms, and the sharp claws of the Wind Splitting Mantis brought forth a cold gleam, slashing horizontally at the Ghost faced Snake's tail. With a clanging sound, sparks flew in all directions.

With a painful screech, the Ghost faced Snake charged forward with a fierce expression. Its metal blade, infused with toxic spiritual energy, clashed repeatedly with the Wind Splitting Mantis's blades.

"Clang! Clang!"

The sound of metal striking metal echoed, and Blaze Regret's expression grew increasingly serious. Although the tier of the Ghost faced Snake was slightly lower than that of the Wind Splitting Mantis, it had one significant advantage: it could use spiritual techniques.

The Wind Splitting Mantis, after all, was merely a spirit puppet and couldn't retain spiritual energy within its body, making it incapable of performing spiritual techniques.

"Heh, I told you, today, you won't be able to kill me."

The old Ghost Snake elder extended his withered right hand, surrounded by dark green spiritual energy. At the same time, the Ghost faced Snake delivered a heavy blow, sending the Wind Splitting Mantis flying backward. Immediately, its Snake tail lifted, and sharp venomous metal blade at it tail appeared out of thin air, swirling madly around it.

"Whoosh!"

The Ghost faced Snake flicked its long tail, and the venomous metal blade shot out instantly, piercing tiny round holes in the Wind Splitting Mantis's wings.

Seeing this, the Ghost faced Snake let out a pleased screech. Just as it was about to gather more venomous metal blade, the Wind Splitting Mantis soared into the sky. Then, like a falling missile, it plummeted rapidly and collided heavily with the Snake's metal blade.

"Bang!"

Although the Ghost faced Snake was far stronger than the Wind Splitting Mantis, the impact didn't break its metal tail. However, it did cause the Snake to retract its metal blade in pain, as it wasn't immune to pain like the Wind Splitting Mantis.

"Cut off its tail," Blaze Regret commanded coldly.

The spread its arms and flew swiftly towards the Snake. Its cold, gleaming claws mercilessly slashed at the Ghost faced Snake's tail, causing droplets of dark green blood to splatter.

"Hmph, Ghost faced Snake, tear off its claws," the old Ghost Snake elder said with a venomous tone.

Hearing this, the Ghost faced Snake's limbs moved rapidly, attempting to turn around and pin down the Wind Splitting Mantis to tear off its sharp claws.

"Stay put!"

At this moment, Blaze Regret's calm voice suddenly echoed, and a layer of solid ice emanated from the Ice Control Irenix in front of him, turning the grass and trees on the ground into sparkling ice sculptures.

The ice spread to the feet of the Ghost faced Snake and quickly climbed upward.

The Ghost faced Snake hurriedly lifted its limbs, shattering the ice instantly. But at that precise moment, the shining blades of the Wind Splitting Mantis had already slashed at its tail.

"Slash!"

Dark green blood spurted out as the Snake's tail fell to the ground with a thud.

Writhing in pain, the Ghost faced Snake flailed its broken tail wildly, forcing the Wind Splitting Mantis, which intended to slash a few more times, to retreat several feet.

"It's just a thoughtless puppet. Ghost faced Snake, use the Toxic Torrent and corrode it!"

Seeing the severe injury of the Ghost faced Snake, the Ghost Snake elder's voice was filled with venomous rage.

The Snake's broken tail came together slightly, gathering dark green energy. The Ghost faced Snake's broken tail then hammered heavily onto the ground, releasing that decaying energy into the earth.

"Whoosh!"

In the next moment, the ground beneath the Wind Splitting Mantis seemed to transform into a dark green pool. As the pool churned, a roughly ten foot wide dark green pillar of water shot skyward, radiating an extremely terrifying, decaying aura.

A dark green water column shot up with an astonishing speed. Around the water column, a foul smelling liquid seemed to drip down, causing any vegetation it touched to wither instantly.
