Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 261: Chapter 237: Stay

Li Qian was taken aback when he heard Elder Liao’s cry of alarm.

He had, of course, heard of Extraordinary Treasure Artifacts.

They mostly came from Dimension Planes and the Outer Heaven Battlefield, and were generally naturally formed.

However, it was said that some could now be forged using cutting-edge technology.

In any case, they were incredibly precious.

When the white light had appeared, Li Qian had seen it very clearly... The light had burst forth from Sun Ruirui’s wrist.

The bracelet on her wrist had to be an Extraordinary Treasure Artifact.

The Extraordinary Treasure Artifact had activated at a critical moment, unleashing an incredibly terrifying power.

It not only destroyed the Array trapping Sun Ruirui but also heavily injured the Demon Child in a single blow.

It had been left with almost no ability to fight.

”What a surprise. To think that fellow, Sun Hongyi, actually left you with a trump card like this.”

Elder Liao was quite shocked to see the Demon Child sent flying by the shockwave from the shattered Array, slamming into a wall.

But his shock didn’t last long; his tone quickly returned to one of indifference.

”But it’s all in vain. I haven’t been wasting my time all these years I’ve spent here in Hongqiao Manor.”

”The greatest purpose of this Array was to trigger the Sealing Array on your body.”

”Now, the Sealing Array on you has loosened. After so many years of suppression, the accumulated Energy from your Ocean Calamity Talent has reached a terrifying level. At this point, it’s irreversible.”

Elder Liao spoke in an unhurried manner, not at all flustered that his Array had been shattered.

Li Qian leaped down from the rooftop, tossing out a Beast Taming Ball in mid-air.

The Light of Collection flickered.

Golden Rain appeared in front of Sun Ruirui.

A blue light flashed and vanished from the Golden Pearl Bud’s body.

Then, a stream of water appeared, steadily catching Li Qian.

Li Qian used the current to join Sun Ruirui, and they both stared with grave expressions at Elder Liao in the distance.

Now that the two of them had reunited, the other two battles—whether it was Qizai, Xiaohui, and Xiaoliu against the Cyan Woodpecker, or Jinfeng against the Dark Night Dog and the Highly Poisonous Frog—were both at a stalemate.

It seemed the situation had improved, but the grave expression on Li Qian’s face didn’t lessen in the slightest.

”Ruirui, is what this old dog said about the seal true?”

Li Qian asked in a low voice.

Sun Ruirui replied helplessly, ”If Grandpa Han were here, there might still be a chance, but now...”

The girl didn’t finish her sentence, but Li Qian understood her meaning completely.

As for Grandpa Han, although Li Qian didn’t know who he was, he could guess that he must be a very powerful Array Master.

He might have even been involved in sealing Sun Ruirui’s Beast Taming Talent in the first place.

”Then how long until the seal breaks completely?”

Li Qian racked his brain as he asked.

Although Sun Ruirui didn’t know what Li Qian was planning, she answered truthfully, ”Looking at how things are, I can hold on for about five more minutes at most.”

”And after five minutes?” Li Qian continued to ask.

”If I inject the Life Potion my third uncle specially bought for me, I should be able to hold on for another five minutes or so.”

Li Qian nodded, immediately grasping the key piece of information. ”In other words, we have about ten minutes.”

”It’s no use. The seal has already loosened, and the process is irreversible...” Sun Ruirui knew what Li Qian was thinking, and she said, sounding dejected.

Li Qian could hear that amid her dejection, there also seemed to be a hint of relief.

”Don’t give up. We still have a chance,” Li Qian said without hesitation.

”But before we solve your problem, we need to take care of this piece of trash first.”

As he spoke, Li Qian’s gaze focused on Elder Liao.

All the Pet Beasts were tied up in battle. Right now, Elder Liao was all alone.

On Li Qian’s side, although Golden Rain had lost its Golden Pearl, its Level and realm were still intact. Its strength may have declined, but it was more than enough to deal with a single human.

Of course, even so, he didn’t let his guard down.

This guy had been lying low in Hongqiao Manor for so many years. Even if his own appearance had disrupted some of the man’s plans and forced him to act hastily, he likely had more tricks up his sleeve.

Li Qian’s guess was not wrong.

Because very soon, he discovered something was amiss.

With a RUSTLING sound, Pet Beasts began to emerge one after another from the surrounding woods, bushes, and grass.

These were all the Pet Beasts from Hongqiao Manor.

At this moment, their eyes were all red, and they looked as if they had lost their minds.

”Cyan Wolf, Wave-Treading Raccoon Dog, Purple Cloud Snake, Fighting Monkey, what’s wrong with you? Wake up!”

Sun Ruirui shouted.

But these Pet Beasts, which she had personally raised and were usually so affectionate with her, showed no reaction at all.

They continued to approach step by step, their eyes still red.

”Looks like this old guy has them under his control. This is trouble.”

Li Qian analyzed.

The only saving grace was that the Power Levels of these controlled Pet Beasts weren’t very high.

The problem was simply that there were too many of them.

Even with its Level advantage, Golden Rain would likely have a very difficult time dealing with them all.

”Golden Rain, use Water Curtain Celestial Splendor!”

Although the situation was critical, Li Qian did not lose his composure.

He gave the order directly to Golden Rain.

Even though Golden Rain was not his Contracted Pet Beast, it trusted him as if it were.

It unhesitatingly followed Li Qian’s command and unleashed the Water Curtain Celestial Splendor Skill.

The Water Curtain Celestial Splendor Skill was unleashed.

A pale blue curtain of light appeared, enveloping the two of them and the one beast.

The moment the Water Curtain Celestial Splendor appeared, the red-eyed Pet Beasts launched their attack.

All sorts of Skills bombarded them as if they were free.

The pale blue light curtain formed by the Water Curtain Celestial Splendor Skill quickly began to warp under the bombardment.

Seeing this, Li Qian’s face filled with gravity.

”Brother Qian, you should find a way to escape. His target is me. If I just stay behind...”

The thought of sacrificing herself to create a chance for Li Qian to survive once again rose in Sun Ruirui’s mind.

In her eyes, she was already as good as dead; there was no need to drag down a Genius Cultivator like Li Qian, who had such a bright future ahead of him.

”Don’t talk nonsense. We still have a chance. I’ve already notified two very powerful seniors. We just need to hold out for a while longer.”

Li Qian cut the girl off, his tone firm.

He hadn’t even used his trump cards yet. In Li Qian’s opinion, they were still far from reaching a dead end.

As for the reinforcements he had notified, they were, of course, the two masters, Shi Yulian and Li Sukuai.

He didn’t know any other masters in Zhonghai City besides those two.

And he believed that with Li Sukuai’s mastery of space, it wouldn’t be long before he arrived.

That was Li Qian’s guess.

As it turned out, his guess was not wrong.

Because very soon, a familiar voice rang out of thin air, ”Cultists of the Ancient Divine Teachings, daring to appear so brazenly in Zhonghai City. How rampant you’ve become...”

”But since you’re here, you’re not leaving. Stay for good!”
