Chapter 1547: How Can Two Legs Outrun Four?
"Huff... Huff..." Although Zhuang Ping’an’s words were tactful, the Little Auspicious Beast was already displeased with bottled-up frustration, and it got instantly enraged.The little creature suddenly broke free from Mu Hanyan’s hand, landed on the ground, and jumped up and down with fury, snorting like a piglet.
"Speak human!" Mu Hanyan frowned as she spoke. What kind of Kirin Young Master was this, learning such unbecoming behavior, making even her lose face.
"Humph, how dare you look down on me. How do you know that the strength of this Young Master has been greatly reduced, humph humph." The Little Auspicious Beast discontentedly snorted, continuing its pig-like behavior.
"Roar!" After saying this, the Little Auspicious Beast let out a long cry, loud and powerful, deafening, filled with fury, with a strong forceful presence.
Zhuang Ping’an and the others were startled. Truly worthy of being a Divine Beast; even if it had transformed back into a pink piglet, its aura remained majestic. However, why did this cry seem more like the howl of an angered wild boar?
"Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, I was just speaking offhand." Zhuang Ping’an said, wearing a smiling face. He realized that even though it had lost half of its Qilin Blood Essence, half still remained. How could this little piglet be someone he could underestimate?
The little piglet was still not appeased, stomping its feet while continuing its loud bellow.
"Whoosh," Streams of colorful light descended from the sky, enveloping the surrounding Exotic Beasts.
In an instant, the eyes of all Exotic Beasts turned blood-red, with bulging neck veins, bristling fur on their backs, and guttural roaring from their throats.
"Beast Soul Frenzy!" Jue Dang exclaimed, and even his eyes were bloodshot, breath grew exceedingly rapid, apparently becoming agitated and furious.
"Beast Soul Frenzy?" Seeing the transformations in Jue Dang and the Exotic Beasts, strong unease surged in the hearts of Mu Hanyan and others.
"Beast Soul Frenzy is one of the mightiest racial superpowers of our Beast Clan. It can drive other Exotic Beasts into madness and their combat power increases manifold. Usually, only the noble bloodline of the Beast Royal Family can comprehend it. To think that the Young Master, having only restored half of the Qilin Blood Essence, has already comprehended Beast Soul Frenzy." Jue Dang took a deep breath, suppressing the internal agitation, explained.
With his strength, although he was in a frenzy, he could barely maintain a clear mind, unlike the other Exotic Beasts who couldn’t, including the Sword Pets of Huayue and others, and the Sword Pets that Zhuang Ping’an and others had just subdued, all showing killing intent, appearing ready to shred everything in sight.
"Roar!" Hearing Jue Dang’s words, the Little Auspicious Beast showed an expression of pride, further releasing another thunderous roar, causing streams of colorful halos to continue raining down.
Consequently, the surrounding Exotic Beasts grew even more enraged and agitated, their imposing presence continually rising, suddenly, thousands of Exotic Beasts in frenzy charged ferociously towards the mountainside.
Fortunately, they hadn’t completely lost their minds and didn’t unleash a massacre on Mu Hanyan and others; otherwise, in their current frenzied state, even someone with Jue Dang’s prowess would have struggled to contend.
The Sword Pets of Huayue and others, though restricted by the contract, lay fervently by their sides, emitting bloodthirsty and feral growls.
"Quick... stop them quick." Jue Dang was shocked and called out repeatedly.
The Little Auspicious Beast was probably startled too, instinctively hid behind Mu Hanyan, ready to retract its Innate Ability, when Mu Hanyan whispered, "Wait."
Gazing at the group of Exotic Beasts frenziedly rushing toward the mountainside, Mu Hanyan’s perception suddenly surged, detecting two extremely faint auras hidden behind that mountain. Only then did she realize the greatest benefit she gained from the Qilin Blood Essence wasn’t merely the enhancement of strength but the improvement in Divine Sense. Her Six Senses were now much sharper than before, several times over.
Without a doubt, those two auras should be the individuals who fired that Golden Short Arrow earlier. Since you wish to harm me, don’t blame me for being merciless. A hint of a cold and ruthless smile flashed across Mu Hanyan’s lips.
Although she couldn’t determine the identity of the other party’s with divine sense alone, she could make an educated guess. The prior challenges could be attributed to youthful foolishness and spoiled whimsy, but this attempt to claim their lives was far from mere youthful folly. If Mu Hanyan showed mercy to her pursuers now, it would be a woman’s foolish benevolence.
Upon hearing Mu Hanyan’s words, the Little Auspicious Beast continued to apply the Beast Soul Frenzy Innate Ability on the Exotic Beasts that had already gone berserk.
Zhuang Ping’an and others looked at Mu Hanyan with confusion, unsure of her intentions.
Meanwhile, outside of the mountain peak, Han Yutang and the follower were struggling to climb up, their cultivation was hindered by the prohibition, and both were drenched in sweat.
"Young Master, maybe we shouldn’t go up. I guess that Mu Hanyan has probably been devoured by Exotic Beasts until even her bones are gone; there’s nothing worth seeing." The follower gasped.
Seeing things turn unfavorable earlier, the two promptly fled down the mountain peak, only to hear relentless beast roars and thunderous booms overhead, causing the mountain to shake, yet remaining clueless about the events.
Given the significant commotion, anyone with half a brain could guess that Mu Hanyan likely met a grim fate. The follower wished to leave, but Han Yutang insisted on coming back for another look, so the follower had no choice but to follow.
"Even if she’s been devoured to the bones, I must witness it, otherwise, I won’t be satisfied." Han Yutang said viciously.
While it was true he suffered losses at Mu Hanyan’s hands before, it was all self-inflicted, but a spoiled rich kid wouldn’t think this way and would blame everything on Mu Hanyan, holding deep-seated hatred for her.
The follower didn’t respond further and simply shook his head.
Although he believed Mu Hanyan probably met a grim fate, he couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Was Mu Hanyan really so easy to kill? Judging by the two prior painful lessons, dealing with her seemed far from simple...
Finally, the two reached the peak. As they were about to peep inside, abruptly, a beast’s roar echoed near them.
Then, a large shadow enveloped them as one frenzied Exotic Beast after another leaped from overhead, their hooves made of fine steel stamped heavily towards their faces.
"Oh no, I knew it wouldn’t end well." The follower’s vision turned black, and he rolled down the cliff.
"Ah..." Nearby, Han Yutang gasped and turned, fleeing down the mountainside in desperation.
His reaction was swift, much quicker than the follower’s. Unfortunately, no matter how fast a human is, how can they outrun those with four legs?
