Chapter 235 Retreat in Fear

Shock, terror, and disbelief!

That was how Venerable the Blade and all the others were feeling.

They had recognized that this girl had to be a legendary battle pet warrior, but they did not foresee that Yuan Tianchen would be that much weaker than her when he, too, was a legendary battle pet warrior! At first, when the girl smashed Yuan Tianchen out of the store, they thought that might have been because he had underestimated his enemy. But that could not explain why he was defeated again when he had fused with his pet. This couldn’t have been an accident. The girl crushed Yuan Tianchen!!

The youthful girl had turned out to be a horrifying being on par with a beast king!

How could there be such a terrible person on the blue planet?

Yuan Tianchen could not believe this. He felt a dull pain on his chest that was spread all across his body. He also sensed how the spear in his chest was sucking away his life. He shuddered in horror at the prospect of death, which had not happened in a long time.

Would he die?

He had never thought that he would consider this question because of a girl.

He couldn’t believe that it wasn’t a place in the abysses or forbidden regions on the blue planet, nor the dangerous locations in the Mysterious Realm, but a worn-out little store in an average base city that had placed him in this desperate and perilous situation.

The panic lasted for merely one second. He pulled himself together and made up his mind. The dark areas in his eyes faded away as the white of his eyes became visible again. At the same time, he quickly forced himself backward to free himself from the spear.

However, as Yuan Tianchen was moving away from the spear, another body was still dangling from it. It was the human-shaped battle pet that had fused with him.

This pet was a beast king with monstrous evil energy. At the moment, the pet was wiggling in pain and bellowing in misery while it was skewered by the spear. Like hot water to ice, the divine energy was a bane to beings of the demon family.

“Hmm!”

Joanna squinted her eyes and sneered at the pet. She peeled the dark creature off from her spear. That “low-life” revulsed her, and she was afraid it would contaminate her spear.

Yuan Tianchen landed on the ground outside the store, unharmed. Su Ping was staring at him, stunned. A moment before, he saw with his own eyes how the spear pierced through his body. Why would Yuan Tianchen emerge without any wounds?

Was Su Ping hallucinating?

That was unlikely. Joanna was formidable. That old man’s mind was not strong enough to fool her yet.

Su Ping supposed it had to be because of some mysterious skills that he was unaware of.

Then he shifted his looks to the beast king creature that had been thrown away. It got him thinking. This creature had a wound that went deep to the bones on its chest, almost costing the creature’s life. But the creature’s healing ability was terrifying. In a blink, the wound had scarred. On the surface, the creature seemed to have recovered.

“I have shown you mercy. Since you do not repent, then death is what you are going to

get!”

Joanna held the spear in her hand, and the rays of light coming out from her eyes were blinding. The energy that she had been hiding in her body was swarming out. Her presence was growing more and more until it became suffocating. She was like a giant, looking down the masses with all her might.

Yuan Tianchen, who had just come out of the store and was still trying to catch his breath, looked up as he heard Joanna’s words.

Yuan Tianchen was seized with horror as he saw the overwhelming power exhibited by the girl. He had only experienced this when he confronted beast kings. No, this was much worse than facing a beast king. Somehow, he had the urge to drop to his knees and bow. This power couldn’t have come from a human being, it was godly!

Besides, from the way that the girl was controlling her powers, Yuan Tianchen could tell that she was far from being an average legend. She was at a level that he was unable to reach!

Why did he end up meeting such a terrifying being in this store?

His heart was trembling. He would have never guessed that someone this dangerous was hiding on the blue planet.

“Wait!” Yuan Tianchen shouted when Joanna was ready to strike.

“I have offended you, and I’m willing to make it up to you. How about we consider this as water under the bridge?” Yuan Tianchen threw out those words quickly. He sounded quite sincere. As he was about to finish his sentence, he turned his eyes to the young man standing inside the store.

That young man appeared to be weak; he wasn’t even an advanced-battle pet warrior yet. However, from the way he and the girl conversed, Yuan Tianchen realized that this monster girl was not the one making the decisions, but the young man who had obtained the right to receive the legacy.

Su Ping squinted. He was pondering.

When the old man stepped into the store, Venerable the Blade and the others were walking behind him. From that moment, Su Ping gleaned that this old man was a legendary battle pet warrior; the manipulator, or one of them, of the Mysterious Realm.

Killing this man would have one benefit. He would be spared of all future troubles.

However, the disadvantage would be that the falling of a legendary battle pet warrior could create a great disturbance, and that other legendary battle pet warriors would begin to pay attention to his store.

That being said…

Since there was a security zone that came with the store, Su Ping was not worried that other legendary battle pet warriors would notice his store.

Su Ping said nothing for a moment.

The silence was a clear indication of his decision: Kill this man!

Remove the source of the trouble!

Joanna darted a glance at Su Ping, and she noticed the flash of killing intent in Su Ping’s eyes. She flashed a sarcastic grin. Knowing the mean human he was, Su Ping was certainly up to no good. She was right. He wasn’t going to show mercy. Of course, she wasn’t going to be lenient, either.

That petty human had challenged her time after time. His death was more than justified!

The energy was converging her spear. In the next moment, a golden glow burst out from Joanna’s eyes. She waved her slim arms and hurled out the spear which was tearing apart the void like a bolt of golden lightning. Even the air began to twist. With unforeseen killing intent and turbulent energy, the spear traveled toward its target, Yuan Tianchen.

Yuan Tianchen was terrified.

He had begun to fear his fate when Su Ping replied to his question with silence. Since that moment, Yuan Tianchen had been preparing quietly. He reacted instantly as the girl began to channel energy to her spear.

Run!

He didn’t choose to fight… but to run away!

From the previous strike, Yuan Tianchen had realized that he wasn’t a match for the girl. The fact that he couldn’t defeat the girl when he and his pet had fused was astonishing to him.

But there was no time for him to wonder about the underlying reason. He had become a legendary battle pet warrior not merely because of his talents, but also because of the experience he accumulated during countless battles and the prudence he had learned. His cautious behavior had been a crucial factor in his rise to become a powerful warrior, instead of losing his life too early!

Still, Yuan Tianchen’s speed was not a match against the spear!

The weapon reached its target instantly. Frightened by this, Yuan Tianchen mobilized all of his powers, tore open the void, and teleported himself to dozens of meters away across the street.

Bang!

The golden spear pierced through his arm. With the same momentum, the spear shot into the building across the street and flew out from the building from the opposite side and straight into the sky.

Joanna waved her hand; the spear made a turn in the air and flew back quickly.

Run! Run!

Yuan Tianchen stared at his severed arm, terrified as if he could see a ghost in broad daylight. He was more scared than ever; he turned around and fled without looking back. Soon after, he vanished from the street, re-emerging outside the shantytown area.

He took a moment to catch his breath. He sensed that the horrifying girl didn’t go after him, and this fact relieved him. Still, he was afraid to stay here for long. He continued to run until he reached the border of the base city.

He looked back for a second time. Finally, he felt he could put his heart back in his chest. There was no trace of that girl. It was only then that he found he was soaked in a cold sweat.
