Chapter 881 Don't let it escape!
''Aargh! My arm!''
''FUCK! Kill this beast!''
Blood and severed limbs quickly filled the area around the group of Dao Kings in the next moment, as Little Silver tore through their ranks at full speed, smashing everyone that happened to block its path.
Its 2 gigantic silver wings seemed like a pair of majestic sharp weapons, as they effortlessly dismembered the middle and late-stage Dao Kings in front of it without any resistance!
Sensing the terrifying aura of the peak rank 6 magic beast that had suddenly appeared behind them before they even had any time to react, and hearing the cries and curses that their subordinates were spewing, caused even the 5 early rank 9 Dao Kings to immediately turn abnormally serious before they all unsheathed their weapons and turned to face Little Silver's direction with solemn expressions!
Indeed, the speed and power of a peak rank 6 magic beast wasn't something that could be overlooked so easily, and Zhong Lei and the others understood that detail very clearly.
Even if it was just a single peak rank 6 magic beast, its combat prowess should have already exceeded that of an average peak-stage Dao King and should be nearing the level of an early rank 1 Dao Emperor! Even if it wasn't at the same level as an early rank 1 Dao Emperor just yet, it still wasn't something that most peak rank 9 Dao Kings should be able to fight against.
In the blink of an eye, the imposing group of 100 Dao Kings in the sky were covered in a cloud of fresh blood and severed limbs, as more than 20 Dao Kings had been either crippled or killed by Little Silver's all-out charge!
And yet, the tall, purple-robed young man, Yao Guanting looked unperturbed by all this, as he unsheathed the long sword from his back and held it tightly with both hands, before he said in his usual calm tone
''There is no reason to get flustered. In the first place, our main priority was to kill this panther before doing anything else. Since it has thrown itself into the fire, this is our best chance to surround it from all sides and kill it! Don't let it escape!''
Hearing Yao Guanting's 'encouraging speech', the woman who seemed to be in her early thirties and was dressed in a long green robe, lowered her head and stared at the long white spear in her hands for a brief moment, before she muttered somewhat unwillingly
''Do we really have to fight that beast to the death? Why don't we just capture those brats and force it to submit? Maybe we can even capture it alive this way...''
Even from a distance, the young woman could tell that Little Silver was truly enraged and it seemed to hold no regard for its own life right now, as it slaughtered the middle and late-stage Dao Kings around it indiscriminately, without a care for its own protection!
Even when the Dao Kings around it tried to slash it or stab it, it simply ignored their attacks and swiped its paws at them, causing their bodies to explode in a mist of blood.
However, this was also what made the green-robed woman so hesitant to go against it.
After all, although it would be easier for her to land a fatal wound on it this way, fighting against an enraged peak rank 6 magic beast that had gone berserk would force even an early rank 9 Dao King like her to truly risk her life if she wanted to kill it.
And yet, the purple-robed Yao Guanting merely snorted as he turned his gaze in the young woman's direction, before he said in a mercilessly cold tone that seemed to lack even the slightest hints of sympathy
''Liang Bao, stop acting ignorant! You are free to sit back and watch if that's what you want, but don't expect to get a share of the rewards that way! Why do you think that Zhong Lei and the others aren't raising any objections despite seeing that? Don't you know what will happen if that beast escapes and that brat finishes his tribulation?''
The green-robed young woman called Liang Bao instantly fell silent after hearing Yao Guanting's berating tone, knowing that she truly didn't have any rebuttal to what he had just said.
Indeed, the only reason why their group had chosen to go all-out and even fight against a peak rank 6 magic beast like Little Silver despite knowing how terrifying its actual strength was, was solely because of Shun Long's existence.
Putting aside the fact that Shun Long was undergoing a Heavenly Tribulation inside the 'City of Immortals' right now, which was unprecedented and would most likely end up rousing the attention of most of the peak rank 9 Dao Kings in this place once the news got out, Liang Bao knew that the real reason why Yao Guanting and the others were interested in him instead, was due to the secrets that he had obtained from the stone mural.
For a mere peak rank 3 Dao King to have exceeded the 'realm of masters' and have stepped into that 'legendary realm', this wasn't something that any of them could ignore.
This was also why, the instant that Yao Guanting and the others recognized Shun Long and realized that he was actually the one who was undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation, they decided to go all-out and capture him so they could force the stone mural's secrets out of him.
And at this moment... what Yao Guanting and the others were worried about the most, was that Shun Long would end up finishing his Heavenly Tribulation at any moment and escape on Little Silver's back once he realized the situation he was in!
After all, if Little Silver was really determined to leave this place, then even if Yao Guanting and the others chased after it with everything they had, it would be extremely unlikely that they could catch up to it.
''If you understand then stop complaining and attack! Aim for its eyes and heart! Don't let it escape no matter what!''
The purple-robed Yao Guanting didn't throw another glance at the green-robed young woman, and without saying another word he flew straight towards Little Silver, as he raised the long sword in his hands and slashed it directly at the silver-winged panther's neck, aiming to kill it with a single strike!
...
Looking at this scene from the distance, Liu Mei narrowed her eyes and abandoned her plans of attacking the yellow-robed Zhong Lei, as she stared at the purple-robed Yao Guanting before she ordered in an exceedingly cold tone
''Kill him!''
In the next moment, the 6 black skeleton kings all disappeared from Liu Mei's and the others' side as they appeared in the sky above Little Silver, all of them aiming their massive dark-red greatswords straight at Yao Guanting's neck!
