Chapter 355 - 216: Dragon Transformation Skill Empowered, Super Xiaobai Takes the Stage
It suddenly turned around and stared at the spider spirit.
At this moment, its momentum was entirely on par with the level 66 spider spirit.
...
Li Xia was horrified when she saw this, and she immediately summoned her remaining five Spirit Beasts.
In an instant, six Spirit Beasts surrounded Xiaobai.
Bai Ling swallowed, her mind completely blank at the moment.
She could feel the immense power of Xiaobai, but even so, could Xiaobai win against the combined might of six Spirit Beasts?
Lin Chen also took a deep breath; he wasn’t thinking about these matters now.
He was even certain of one answer...
Which is that Xiaobai will prevail.
The Dragon Transformation Skill is an unparalleled Immortal Technique.
More importantly, this Immortal Technique mark was left to him by Zhong Nan...
Could it be that Zhong Nan had already foreseen this calamity?
As he pondered, Xiaobai turned to glance at Lin Chen, who immediately understood Xiaobai’s intention.
It was asking Lin Chen whether to leave some alive or kill them all.
Lin Chen looked at Li Xia and then at her Spirit Beasts, and spoke: "Based on her Spirit Beasts and characteristics, it’s not hard to trace her back to the Spirit Academy..."
Li Xia was stunned upon hearing this.
Indeed.
Li Xia’s information, if the Spirit Academy were to personally investigate, wouldn’t be difficult to uncover.
Thinking about this, she felt a bit panicked but still forced herself to remain composed as she said:
"Just because you gain a little power, do you really think you can win?"
Li Xia truly didn’t believe this was the authentic Dragon Transformation Skill.
She waved her hand forcefully, and the six Spirit Beasts behind her leapt towards Xiaobai.
At this moment, Xiaobai let out a furious roar, the sound like thunder, followed by a sudden explosive horrifying aura.
...
Seeing so many opponents, Xiaobai unleashed:
Demon Bull Appearance!
In an instant, the terrifying aura surged like a ferocious tide, Li Xia’s body instantly tensed; even her breath became rapid, her Spirit Beasts were also trembling under the enormous pressure, their fur standing on end.
With the Dragon Transformation Skill aid, Xiaobai’s Divine and Demonic Power changed tremendously, its body entirely wrapped in a dense golden light; the radiance was so intense that it hurt to look at, making Li Xia and the Spirit Beasts swallow uncontrollably, their eyes filled with dread.
Li Xia knew clearly the situation was far less optimistic than she anticipated, but there was no turning back; Lin Chen and Bai Ling had to die here.
Her gaze became cruel and resolute; with little hesitation, she waved her hand forcefully, shouting loudly: "Attack!" indicating the Spirit Beasts to launch a full offensive.
Just then, a deafening bull’s bellow suddenly came from the Void, the sound as if roaring from an ancient demon god awakening suddenly, filled with invincible majesty.
Lin Chen slowly lifted his head, and the scene that met his eyes caused his heart to tremble.
He saw the majestic Demon Bull standing above the Void; its massive body like a mountain, every muscle brimming with terrifying power.
Unlike before, the Demon Bull’s silhouette was exceptionally clear this time, almost within reach.
Its ten thick chains tightly wrapped around it, engraved with mysterious runes, flashing with eerie cold light, subtly emitting an ancient and powerful aura.
The Demon Bull raised its head, releasing a tremendous roar, sound waves like explosive thunder shook the surrounding air.
Its immense eyes glared viciously at the several Spirit Beasts ahead, its gaze full of disdain and contempt, as if looking down on a group of insignificant ants.
Beside, Li Xia’s face turned pale with tension; she and her Spirit Beasts gulped hard, trying to forcibly suppress their inner fear.
Soon after, their gazes became vicious, transforming the fear into overwhelming killing intent.
In an instant, all the Spirit Beasts displayed their powers, some spewing scorching flames, others shooting sharp ice arrows, all aiming toward where Xiaobai and Lin Chen stood.
Lin Chen and Xiaobai remained calm, watching as the enemy’s attack approached, Xiaobai finally moved, letting out a fierce roar, followed by multiple cracking sounds from the Void.
Accompanying it was the image of chains breaking apart.
One chain broke, and a dazzling light flashed across the sky;
Two chains snapped, and the surrounding air vibrated;
...
Until the seventh chain responded by breaking.
Lin Chen swallowed hard; his guess was confirmed.
The evolution method of the Demon Bull Appearance is to continuously unlock the shackles on the Demon Bull.
There are a total of 10 shackles, and with the support of the Dragon Transformation Skill, five of them were unbelievably unlocked.
It’s imaginable how terrifying this Dragon Transformation Skill is.
You can see the Demon Bull lunging forward, instantly like Mount Tai pressing down, making Li Xia’s spirit beasts feel an unprecedented pressure.
When the Demon Bull touched them, a terrifying scene appeared. The central spider spirit shattered instantly upon contact with the Demon Bull, like paper.
Even Li Xia’s most defensive spirit beast collapsed instantly.
Lin Chen thought of a saying, with absolute power, no amount can match it.
At this moment, Li Xia saw the spider spirit die and realized the situation was hopeless.
Without thinking, she turned and ran, but how would Xiaobai let her go? Upon Lin Chen’s command, Xiaobai launched an Iron Horn Impact, instantly arriving next to Li Xia, and with a swift kick, Li Xia naturally was no match for Xiaobai and instantly fell to the ground.
Lin Chen looked around warily to see if there were any accomplices nearby.
After confirming there were none, he stepped forward and said to Li Xia, "If you tell me who sent you, I might consider letting you go."
Li Xia’s expression turned cold and she said, "Since Zhong Nan gave you the Dragon Transformation Skill, he certainly told you the confidentiality clause—anyone who sees you perform the Dragon Transformation Skill must not live."
Lin Chen was stunned.
Truth be told, he did not intend to spare Li Xia because he knew that if the people of Celestial Capital learned he obtained the Dragon Transformation Skill, even just three times, it might cause trouble.
However, Li Xia’s words reminded him.
Indeed, when Zhong Nan taught him the Dragon Transformation Skill, he did not mention the confidentiality clause.
Did he forget?
Or did Zhong Nan believe Lin Chen would definitely comprehend it?
After a brief pause, Lin Chen said to Xiaobai, "Kill her."
Bai Ling immediately covered her eyes upon hearing this, at that moment Xiaobai stomped down, and Li Xia’s head rolled on the ground instantly.
When Lin Chen turned back, the battlefield behind him was a complete mess, with blood and spirit beast remains everywhere, creating an extremely gruesome scene.
"Let’s leave here first," Lin Chen said to Bai Ling.
Bai Ling moved her hand from her eyes, initially planning to leave quickly, but for some reason, she turned to look at Li Xia’s corpse again.
Although it was just a fleeting moment, a hint of determination was visible in her pupils.
....
After an undefined amount of time, Chen Zhiliu arrived with the members of the Lee Family.
Li Xia was sent to carry out this mission because of her unique tracking abilities, but aside from Chen Zhiliu, the other people sent by the Lee Family had ordinary strength.
Upon seeing Li Xia’s body, Chen Zhiliu was stunned at first.
This spirit academy outing did not dispatch any of the old monsters from the academy.
So, who killed Li Xia?
"Could it be someone from the National Master’s Institute?" a clan member asked.
Chen Zhiliu did not speak, just analyzed all possibilities.
At this moment, another person asked, "Should we continue the pursuit?"
"Retreat," Chen Zhiliu said.
Everyone was taken aback but quickly heard Chen Zhiliu continue, "The Spirit Academy will surely go back to call for reinforcements. Once their people arrive, we’ll all die here."
The others woke up to the reality and hurriedly followed to leave.
However, Chen Zhiliu knew that the mission had failed, and apart from him, everyone else might not survive.
After all, this matter offended both the Spirit Academy and the National Master’s Institute at the same time.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Lin Chen took Bai Ling without any delay. Bai Ling walked slowly, so the two rode the bull and rushed away.
During the journey, Lin Chen deliberately avoided city areas because he knew that the pursuers were from Celestial Capital, and these cities might have their informants.
Bai Ling was quite resilient, even optimistic, and recovered by the next day, which made Lin Chen ask in surprise:
"Bai Ling, aren’t you scared?"
"Scared," Bai Ling nodded, but said, "But I know fear is useless; I need to make myself stronger, just like you."
Lin Chen was stunned.
He originally thought that Bai Ling, after this assassination attempt, would give up entering Celestial Capital.
But now it seemed, things were developing in the opposite direction.
This assassination attempt has only strengthened Bai Ling’s resolve.
