"Shut up!" Kunter exclaimed, "Stop arguing and focus!"
Kunter waved his hands, and the Beast Spirit Wand emitted bursts of light.
Meanwhile, outside East City, the largest Emperor Crocodile suddenly crystallized.
In an instant, it became transparent, like a crystal Emperor Crocodile.
The remaining seven Emperor Crocodiles also sequentially entered their second form.
Only the one trapped by Mountain Cat’s innate secret technique could not transform.
After enduring two high-level techniques from Mountain Cat, the Wind Thunder Lock, and the Nine Layers of Wind Riding, it was on the verge of death.
Seizing the opportunity while the other crocodiles transformed, Mountain Cat descended again, landing on the severely wounded Emperor Crocodile.
Thunderclap Splitting Sky Claw!
Mountain Cat’s figure appeared at the crocodile’s abdomen, a hoop suspending it aloft.
"Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff puff~"
Fast, incredibly fast and agile, Thunderclap Splitting Sky Claw, as if dozens of Mountain Cats were simultaneously executing a high-level secret technique on the crocodile.
In an instant, the abdomen of the early-stage fourth-grade Emperor Crocodile was shredded into mush.
The Emperor Crocodile fell and convulsed, its life force rapidly diminishing, descending into stillness.
Its internal organs pulverized; not even a god could save it now.
Of the nine Emperor Crocodiles, only eight remained!
"An Emperor Crocodile has died,"
On the city wall, Tong Wan Yang quietly watched the scene below.
Upon receiving the news, he, too, immediately came to the East City wall.
As the boss of the west, although Dragon Lion Island didn’t deploy a divine beast of fourth-grade lineage this time,
Tong Wan Yang came in person because he realized that this Mountain Cat was the favorite beast of the Twin Dragon Horse Supervisors, Zhao Xing.
"It’s unbelievable," Yu Pengcheng, standing beside him, exclaimed, "This Mountain Cat must be no older than five years."
"In less than five years, to train it to this level, eating anything else would be useless. It must have been fed with Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beauty," Tong Wan Yang speculated.
"Marquis Yuan Rang Zhao Xing, rose to prominence in Ten Suns Cave Heaven, benefiting greatly from the incident at Ten Suns Cave Heaven two years ago. Even his cat has evolved to fifth-grade,"
A normal training regimen couldn’t afford to use Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beauty as a regular resource.
Because humans themselves don’t have enough, how could Spirit Mountain’s Spiritual Beauty be allocated to beasts?
Moreover, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Beauty gives the greatest effect when ingested by humans; beasts need twice as much for maybe half or even a third of the effect.
But with a sufficient quantity, consuming copious amounts of Primordial Magic Spirit, even a pig could advance to fifth-grade.
Only then could innate secret techniques significantly improve.
"Events like Ten Suns Cave Heaven can’t be replicated," Yu Pengcheng shook his head, "We simply can’t cultivate it."
Mountain Cat had also passed through the Heavenly Gate and soaked in the Spiritual Beauty Hot Spring; even Bishui Daoist School couldn’t replicate such a training regimen.
"This Mountain Cat will become our formidable opponent," Tong Wan Yan said, "You see, while eight Emperor Crocodiles transformed, Mountain Cat also transformed, yet they still couldn’t handle it."
"Too cumbersome," Yu Pengcheng commented, "The crystal transformation only strengthened the crocodiles’ defense; they couldn’t handle speed, and their Crystal Five Elements Domain couldn’t completely lock down Mountain Cat."
"Speed is affected, but it’s still faster than the crocodiles."
"However, for Mountain Cat to kill another crocodile would be difficult now."
"You and I can see it, Kunter can see it too," Tong Wan Yang said, "I wonder why Zhao Xing isn’t withdrawing Mountain Cat. What exactly is he trying to do?"
"Hard to guess, if he doesn’t withdraw soon, other divine beasts might come to help."
Tong Wan Yang and Yu Pengcheng had no idea that Zhao Xing currently could not make Mountain Cat withdraw.
He could use the Soul Contract to forcibly intervene in Mountain Cat’s actions, causing it pain and ultimately forcing it to submit to his command.
But with Mountain Cat being hunted right now, to do so would be sending it to its death.
"Swish swish swish swish swish~"
The avatar and Ten Thousand Skill Avatar finally arrived at the city wall.
However, upon reaching the city wall, Zhao Xing discovered that Mountain Cat had already killed an Emperor Crocodile.
"Ao Tian is that fierce?" Zhao Xing was surprised himself.
Despite being surrounded by nine Emperor Crocodiles, it still managed to kill one.
Absolutely a cat among sword cultivators.
Seeing this, Zhao Xing was no longer in a hurry.
He just quietly watched.
But his appearance drew surprised glances from those around him.
Seeing Zhao Xing’s setup, they were greatly shocked.
Because Mr. Zhao had set up a Destructive God Crossbow on the city wall, and his many avatars were all armed with large-scale divine weapons.
"Ten Thousand Skill Avatar? Is this the Grassman Skill of the Self Sect?"
"Who is this person who has cultivated Ten Thousand Skill Avatar?"
"Sss, how can he carry so many military heavy weapons, isn’t he afraid of being caught by Tianjing City’s Inspection Bureau? Could he possibly be a Marquis?"
"How could he be a Marquis in sixth-grade official robes? Have you ever seen a sixth-grade Marquis?"
"Hmm? Ten Thousand Skill Avatar, Ten Thousand Skill Avatar... What is this person’s relationship with Liu Wanfa?"
Many people on the city wall discussed this.
However, Zhao Xing ignored these comments and contacted Mountain Cat.
"Ao Tian, come back up to the city wall."
Mountain Cat expressed its refusal.
If it returned now, what about the big fish? It couldn’t bring it back!
Helplessly, Zhao Xing realized that more and more divine beasts were approaching.
If Jiulong Island had called for reinforcements, the situation would change.
Mountain Cat had the advantage over Emperor Crocodile; it could fight or flee as it wished.
But if a Hostile Soul Dragon or Spirit Rhinoceros came, catching Mountain Cat would be dangerous.
The Twin Dragon Horse Supervisor, being relatively unknown, didn’t have much help.
Now that Mountain Cat had shown its extraordinary capabilities, anyone could guess that it was targeted.
"Come back, and I’ll catch a bigger fish for you to eat, even bigger than this one!" Zhao Xing coaxed.
