Chapter 1143: The War Begins!
“They’re coming!!”
Bai Yunfei could feel the auras of several more figures storming out from the back peak caves. They were coming!
“Swoosh swoosh swoosh swoosh...”
Ripples of spatial energy shot across the sky as four figures appeared in front of the Beast Taming School’s Soul Kings!
“Headmaster!!”
Many of the beast tamers cried out in joy—the pillar of their school was finally here!
It took a second for Lin Xiangtian to see his surroundings, but the very moment he did the snarl on his face grew even more pronounced...
Bai Yunfei’s side had twelve Soul Emperors!
And he couldn’t even tell how strong the Blue-eyes White Dragon King was, so that meant one thing—he was either a Late-stage Soul Emperor or a Peak Late-stage Soul Emperor!!
“Damn! How did he manage to gather this many class eight soulbeasts in such a short amount of time!!” The vexations in Lin Xiangtian’s heart doubled. “We can’t possibly bide for enough time with our class eight soulbeast puppets. And there’s no point about comparing our fighting forces of the Soul King level!”
He saw the hundreds of class seven soulbeasts gathered by Bai Yunfei’s side and cursed Bai Yunfei even more—The defeat of their forces at both the Qimang Mountains and Soulbeast Forest substantially drained them of their manpower. They only had thirty Soul Kings left in their numbers! Everyone had one class seven soulbeast puppet at the very least—many of them had two even—but that didn’t mean much against the number of class seven soulbeasts on the other side!
Lin Xiangtian felt even fainter just thinking about their Soul Exalt and under. Against the large army of soulbeasts, what point was there having a few thousand?!
“Our only hope is to bide enough time for teacher then!”
Resolved to sacrifice his life, Lin Xiangtian gave the army in front of him a terrifying glare, “Bai—”
“What’s the point of talking!! I’m not going to stand around anymore, it’s time to kill!!"
Lin Xiangtian hadn’t even enough time to fully pronounce Bai Yunfei’s name when the Golden-eyed Ape King interrupted him with a head-on charge!
And ‘charging’ with him was the one who hated the Beast Taming School just as much as he did, the Three-eyed Tiger King!
“Roar! Roar! Roarr!!”
Following their lead were hundreds of other soulbeasts!
“Damn!!”
Furious, Lin Xiangtian let the killing intent flow from himself as well. “Kill them!!” He roared.
“Roar roar roar...”
Several of the soulbeast puppets roared together as their tamers let loose onto the battlefield!
With how only the soulbeast puppets charged instead of their tamers, the battlefield looked like it was a war between soulbeast and soulbeast!
“Xinyun, go with the alchemists and support the back, don’t endanger yourself.” Bai Yunfei said to Tang Xinyun the moment the battle began.
The Soul Kings of the Beast Taming School were to be handled by the Golden Lion King and other class seven soulbeasts. Tang Xinyun and the alchemists were only needed to protect the back rather than lead the charge. Since they required the alchemists for the soul rejuvenating pills, none of the soulbeasts minded them being in such a position since it’d be safer.
Tang Xinyun gave Bai Yunfei a warm smile, “Mm, I will. Be careful, Yunfei...”
Bai Yunfei nodded. Looking back to the front with renewed determination, he stepped forward and shot off along with the Golden-eyed Ape King and Three-eyed Tiger King!
“Chirp!!!”
The harmonious chirping of a bird could be heard over the battlefield as Xiao Qi transformed into his larger form and dove in to fight!
“Chiii!!”
As if in response to Xiao Qi, the skies above him exploded with the jeers of an eagle. There was a flash of green light as the shadow of a giant green eagle appeared overhead. A pulse of soulforce erupted from the eagle and brought the Three-eyed Tiger King and other soulbeasts to a halt!
The presence of this eagle was due to one of the Soul Emperors from the Beast Taming School, the violet-robed elder on the left!
“The Azure Eagle King!!”
The Blue-eyes White Dragon King looked surprised. This was a powerful soulbeast that took the world by storm eight hundred years ago!
A late-stage class eight soulbeast!
Somehow, a beast tamer that was only a Mid-stage Soul Emperor was capable of controlling a late-stage class eight soulbeast!
The Azure Eagle King drew its wings close to its body. Soulforce began to build up in its wings before lashing out in the form of two blades of wind at the Three-eyed Tiger King and the others!
“Roar!!!”
A white burst of light shot past the Three-eyed Tiger King following the draconic cry of a soulbeast. It crashed into the two blades of wind and destroyed them!
Within the white burst of light was the Blue-eyes White Dragon King!
As the strongest soulbeast there, the Blue-eyes White Dragon King was taking it upon himself to fight this class eight soulbeast puppet!
That left the Three-eyed Tiger King free to continue toward the violet-robed elder. But before he could get far, a bolt of violet lightning dropped from the heavens and crashed down in between the two!
“Roar!!”
Furious by this obstruction, the Three-eyed Tiger King roared and lashed out with a mighty punch!
“Boom!!”
Smashing into the violet lightning, the Three-eyed Tiger King shattered it apart like it was nothing!
“Bang!!”
A second streak of lightning shot through the sky at the same time the Three-eyed Tiger King destroyed the first and struck him from the side!
The following explosion threw the Three-eyed Tiger King a few hundred meters away from his original position. He took a moment to steady himself before glaring at the giant violet lizard in front of him, “A mid-stage class eight bi-headed lightning lizard!”
Rather than be angry at the soulbeast blocking his advance, the Three-eyed Tiger King’s wrath was entirely focused on the beast tamer behind it.
“Roar! Roar!!”
Another battle between soulbeasts was happening simultaneously along with the Three-eyed Tiger King. An early-stage class eight hippopotamus-type soulbeast was currently engaged in battle with the Golden-eyed Ape King!
It wasn’t just those two—the Violet Dragon King, the Violet Spider King, and the Stegosaurus King were all fighting a class eight soulbeast of their own!
To make matters worse, the bearded elder controlling both the bi-headed lightning lizard and the hippopotamus soulbeast was a Mid-stage Soul Emperor!
The beast tamer fighting the Violet Dragon King and Violet Spider King was controlling two early-stage class eight soulbeast puppets and was an Early-stage Soul Emperor. And the one fighting the Stegosaurus King with an early-stage class eight soulbeast was a Half-emperor!
Having yet to be met with obstruction, the Bloodhowl Wolf King charged toward the bearded elder!
There was also the Golden Python King who was currently charging towards the Early-stage Soul Emperor.
That left the Ancient Crocodile King to attack the violet-robed elder controlling the Azure Eagle King.
Many of the beast tamers fighting right now were capable of controlling two soulbeasts at the same time as long as neither soulbeast puppet were stronger than them. As such, this allowed the beast tamers to fight the soulbeast kings with equal numbers!
The only Soul Emperor from the Beast Taming School that hadn’t taken action yet was Lin Xiangtian. He was just standing there to stare at Bai Yunfei, Li Chengfeng, and Xiao Qi!
