The Ascension of Contracted Spirits

Chapter 427 - 201: Arrival, Aegifura! _3

The purple color quickly took over the eyes of the Flying Claw Battle Bear, and as it stared defiantly at Ye Hanjun through the reflection of the four counterclockwise rotating purple magatamas in its pupils, it ceased its roars and crouched down in submission.

"Kill it!"

Ye Hanjun spoke, his cold voice barely a whisper.

"Roar!"

With an angry roar, the Flying Claw Battle Bear threw itself into combat, ignoring the closer Frog Soldiers fighting alongside it and going straight for the Axe Tree Monster and Yin Water Vine Monster as commanded by Ye Hanjun.

"Ying Qing, what are you doing‽"

Ying Shui shouted angrily, for the Flying Claw Battle Bear was a beast with a Chen Accomplishment of the Life Wheel, while his Axe Tree Monster and Yin Water Vine Monster merely had Empty Origin Creatures of the Life Wheel, thus there was a great disparity in status between them.

The unexpected fratricide was too swift and decisive. The Axe Tree Monster couldn’t react in time and was paralyzed as more than a dozen Flying Axe Vine Whips were torn from it, its usable weapons dismantled.

"Da Zhua! Come back!"

"Da Zhua! Da Zhua!"

Ignoring Ying Shui’s rebukes, Ying Qing continued to shout, but the Contracted Fond Spirit, Flying Claw Battle Bear did not respond, and an unprecedented cold sweat drenched his chest.

"Something’s wrong, it’s like an enchantment skill, a powerful one..."

"Da Zhua is bound to me by contract, but it’s not listening to my commands for now, and Ye Hanjun controls him... Kill him! Hurry and kill him!!"

As his thoughts raced, Ying Qing gradually began to understand the pivotal question at hand.

Such an eye-catching scene, especially when it happened on a life-or-death battlefield, Du Yuanjia and Bian Haoran would not miss the opportunity.

"Hahaha, Two-tails, attack!"

"Excavator! Use the earth-shaking move! Turn the Frog Soldiers upside down!"

Bian Haoran’s face suddenly lit up with exhilaration.

The two creatures under Ying Qing’s control were his biggest worries.

As the fight was on a knife-edge, he couldn’t lend a hand to Du Yuanjia fighting against Ying Mountain, nor could he come to assist Lord Han, Ji Yan, and NanHua Qiu, hence, he was extremely agitated.

The emergence of White Crow truly eased his pressing danger!

His take-over of the Flying Claw Battle Bear effectively reduced an important player from the enemy faction and gained one for his own. This subtract and add situation drastically swayed the battlefield in their favor.

"Croak!"

The Frog Soldier vomited blood, covering his green skin with bloody wounds.

Previously in the two-on-two match, even if some harm was inflicted, it was never a life-threatening strain.

Now in a two-on-one situation, with the Burrowing Lizard excelling at underground attacks and the Two-tailed Direwolf an expert at charging on the ground, with their well-polished coordination they pressed the Frog Soldier hard. How could he stand a chance alone?

"Roar."

On the other side, the ferocious Flying Claw Battle Bear, with a disregard for its own injuries, rudely and violently tore into the Axe Tree Monster.

The flying axes penetrated its armor, smashed his skull, and left pools of its blood everywhere.

Unaffected, the Battle Bear’s eyes continued to show the reverse rotation of the four purple magatama, filled with relentless orders of "Kill it! Kill it!" echoing in its ears.

"Thump!"

The Axe Tree Monster failed to hold on, and all its vine whips were snapped off.

It tried to retreat underground, but unbeknownst to it, Ye Hanjun appeared behind it. Razor-sharp claws tore ruthlessly into the monster, dragging its roots forcefully out from the hiding place.

"Rip!"

With manic aggression, Ye Hanjun extended his sharp claws again and again, destroying the structure of the Axe Tree Monster. The vital energy inside rapidly depleted, ultimately leaving it speechless.

"Boom!"

The Flying Claw Battle Bear came crashing down with a powerful elbow hit, and its massive body crushed the life-force of the Axe Tree Monster.

The Monster’s life core fell out, revealing a round green crystal-like object. Ye Hanjun quickly grabbed it and swallowed, refilling the life force that had almost depleted from his body.

"Kill it!"

The Battle Bear, wounded but still able to fight, waited for its next target.

Ye Hanjun pointed to the Yin Water Vine Monster next to him, issuing the second command.

In the meantime, the death of the Contracted Spirit caused Ying Shui to let out a frightful scream.

She was bewildered as their charge, which should have been an absolute victory, had suddenly been ruined by an enigmatic man emerging out of nowhere.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The White Jade Thorny Deer was severely damaged, and the Sky Flying Fish’s elements were drained. NanHua Qiu and Ji Yan activated their Protective Artifacts, barely managing to shield themselves.

They witnessed Lord Han with Huazhu and Goose Immortal, still pestering the White Night Ghost and Black Night Ghost.

White Crow, having enslaved the Flying Claw Battle Bear singlehandedly, first killed the Axe Tree Monster, breaking the balance of the situation. Subsequently, the Flying Claw Battle Bear and the Yin Water Vine Monster fought fiercely, ending in mutual demise.

Under the double backlash, Shadow Alliance’s Ying Shui, one of the three principal protectors, instantly lost consciousness on the spot.

Because she also activated her survival item, for the moment no one troubled her.

However, Bian Haoran was still besieging the Frog Soldier, and its Patron, Ying Qing, suffered from a backlash, rendering his abilities almost unusable.

"Rip!!"

Ye Hanjun joined the battle, attacking the Frog Soldier.

Taking advantage of numbers, in just two or three minutes, the Frog Soldier was repeatedly defeated and appeared severely wounded and on the verge of collapse.

"Boom!!"

A Water Extinguishing Cannon was fired. Unexpectedly, Du Yuanjia diverted his attention, directing the Water Cannon Frog to ambush.

This cannon shot was a decisive strike. In desperation, Ying Qing reluctantly withdrew and attempted to flee.

However, Bian Haoran didn’t give him a chance. He besieged Ying Qing, then shattered his protective artifact, and killed Ying Qing.

"Quack!!"

When the Patron dies, the contract breaks. Generally, Fond Spirits hiding in contract space will return to the real world.

The Frog Soldier was furious, but it was already on its last legs – there was no talk of being able to fight.

The backlash’s injuries alone were enough to shatter its heart.

Ye Hanjun seized the opportunity, plunged his claw into its chest, and brutally pulled out a heart shaped like an apple. He then voraciously chewed and swallowed it, using the demon power to forcefully extract the essence of life.

"Retreat!"

After the Wild Blood Leopard repelled the Water Cannon Frog, Ying Mountain, along with Ying Xiu, grabbed a few surviving assassins and quickly withdrew.

Instead of chasing, Du Yuanjia blocked the fleeing Ying Shui.

Just having woken from fainting, with no Fond Spirits available and abandoned by her comrades, she was left completely isolated and vulnerable.

With only high-pressure water cannon and a shield left, Ying Shui, envious and furious, glared at Ye Hanjun. She unexpectedly took out a bunch of Explosion Talismans, intending to die along with him.

"Swoosh!"

Ye Hanjun spread his wings and soared up into the air.

The intense explosion sent dust into the sky. Ye Hanjun was merely scratched and not seriously injured.

However... The time for crossing-grade enchantment was too long. His body and soul had already been stretched to their limit.

Summoning his last strength, Ye Hanjun flew across the battlefield, picked up about ten different Dimensional Space Bags, and then retracted the Child of Disaster, Mo, without looking back as he left the battlefield.

"Eh?"

Despite being near exhaustion, Bian Haoran saw a reversal of their fate, right when they were just about to rise to victory.

He wanted to chat with the main contributor to this battle, but didn’t expect White Crow would ignore them. He took the spoils of war and slipped away. His weird behavior was truly puzzling.

"Let him go."

"Perhaps he’s cast forbidden abilities. His condition must have severely deteriorated, and he feels insecure around us."

Coughing continually, Du Yuanjia sighed deeply:

"Who would have thought that today, due to a series of misfortunes and mistakes, we managed to counteract the killing squad and almost wipe them out... Shadow Alliance lost two of their protectors, their losses are truly severe..."

"Dean, should we pursue?"

Ji Yan disabled his protective artifact and pointed at the few distant fleeing figures.

Ying Mountain, as he left in a hurry, obviously wasn’t able to take all the members with him.

There were six or seven surviving assassins, currently retreating from the battlefield in their own ways.

"Forget it. They’re all merely pawns, harmless."

"We are severely injured. If we rashly pursued them now, and Ying Mountain counterattacks, it wouldn’t be worth it."

"Yes."

Ji Yan nodded, noticing the Goose Immortal land on the ground.

Huazhu also descended with the wind, he asked out of reflex:

"Lord Han, how are you feeling?"

"Um..."

GuaGua, with his head low and his right hand propping up his forehead, covering his eyes with his palm, pretends to be profound and says:

"I’m very tired! I need to sleep soon!"

"Whatever it is, tell me later, I can’t hold on anymore!"

At that, under everyone’s watchful eyes, "Lord Han" slumped into Huazhu’s arms, looking thoroughly exhausted.
