Beast Taming: I'm Really Not a Cultivation Master

Chapter 503: Chapter 465: Terrifying Self-Destruction

Just as Li Qian ordered the Tidal Sea Spirit and Six-tailed Cat to attack, pinning the slim man to the ground...

Sun Daifu seized that exact moment to launch his own assault, commanding his four Pet Beasts to unleash their Skills on Li Qian all at once.

It was obvious that Li Qian had seen through their charade. Knowing escape was impossible, the man was prepared for mutual destruction, hoping to drag someone down with him before he died.

Unfortunately, due to the enormous difference in power, all his struggles and resistance were futile.

The Golden Armored Giant General raised its greatsword and, without hesitation, executed its Cross Slash Skill. Two Pet Beasts were instantly sliced into four pieces and died on the spot.

The other two seized the opportunity to close the distance, attempting to break through to Li Qian, but the Golden Armored Giant General abruptly opened its right hand, clenched it in the air, and swung.

The next moment, a Fist Shadow shot out, forcing one of them back and leaving only a single Commander Level Pet Beast that managed to get close.

For this lone Pet Beast to reach Li Qian, it was less an attack and more a free kill.

Li Qian was more than happy to accept the gift. He immediately issued an attack command to the Tidal Sea Spirit and the Six-tailed Cat.

”WOOOO...”

”MROWW...”

The two Pet Beasts charged out as fast as lightning, relentlessly hammering their target with a variety of Water and Spiritual Element Skills.

Under the combined assault of the two Pet Beasts, it wasn’t long before Sun Daifu’s creature—the one that had fought so hard to get through—was dead.

A moment earlier, his third Pet Beast—the one intercepted by the Fist Shadow—had also been easily slain by the Golden Armored Giant General, meeting the same fate as the first two.

With that, all four of Sun Daifu’s Pet Beasts had fallen.

Knowing escape was impossible, he broke into a torrent of curses. ”Li Qian, I curse you to a horrible death!”

”The Holy Teachings won’t let you get away with this! I’ll be waiting for you underground!”

Hearing this curse, Li Qian couldn’t help but burst out laughing. ”Hahaha, what’s this? Dropping the act?”

”Don’t all you Cult Organizations preach that death means a glorious ascent to the Celestial Kingdom? What’s wrong? Finally realized it’s all a lie? Realized you’re going to Hell when you die?”

Li Qian’s words were devastatingly cruel, mocking not only Sun Daifu but also the very doctrine of the Blood Demon Sect he belonged to.

”You...” Furious and exasperated, Sun Daifu began to retort, but just then, his words caught in his throat.

His face instantly turned a deep purplish-red, and his entire body began to twist and struggle violently.

”AAAAHHH...” He let out crazed, agonizing howls, like a wild beast that had lost its mind.

At almost the exact same moment, the slim man pinned to the ground by the Water Arrow Skill also began to struggle and convulse, letting out a series of hoarse roars.

Seeing this, Li Qian instantly realized what was happening. He retreated a few steps, but his gaze remained locked on the two men, never wavering for a moment.

”Are the Gu Insects inside them turning on their hosts?” Li Qian muttered to himself, his mind on high alert.

Under Li Qian’s watchful gaze, it wasn’t long before the two men began to change again. Their bodies started to swell, their eyes turning bloodshot.

BANG! BANG!

In less than a minute, their bodies exploded like overinflated balloons, leaving nothing but a mess of gore and mangled flesh on the ground.

Amidst the explosions, Li Qian clearly saw two streaks of red light shoot up into the sky and fly off into the distance.

”Shoot them down!” Li Qian instantly realized what those two streaks of red light might be and immediately gave the order.

Upon hearing the command, the Golden Armored Giant General didn’t hesitate, unleashing a slash of sword light.

SLICE!

The blade of light shot true, intercepting the two red streaks. The red lights plummeted to the ground, dimmed, and then extinguished. Li Qian stared intently at where they fell.

It was just as he had expected. On the ground, two Gu Insects, now sliced in half, were twisting and struggling.

Li Qian frowned at the sight. Without hesitation, he commanded, ”Tidal Sea Spirit, use the Purification Technique!”

Receiving the order, the Tidal Sea Spirit immediately cast the Purification Technique, shooting out a curtain of light that enveloped the severed Gu Insects.

Enveloped in the curtain of light, the Gu Insects instantly began to struggle and twist even more violently. However, this struggle didn’t last long. A moment later, they were reduced to a pile of black ash.

After eliminating Sun Daifu and the Blood Demon Sect Cultist, Li Qian beckoned with his hand. The Golden Armored Giant General immediately dissolved, returning to its form as a small sword pendant on the necklace around his neck.

Without a moment’s rest, he rushed back to the main battlefield, where Dean Pan was fighting Lu Yuansong, the Second Elder of the Black Divine Teachings.

Over there, under the bombardment of Dean Pan’s powerful combination Skill, Ice and Fire Quartet, the battle was already drawing to a close.

The power of a Skill jointly cast by four Holy Spirit-level Pet Beasts could only be described as terrifying.

That one attack had all but annihilated Lu Yuansong and his Pet Beasts. Only his giant, ochre-colored toad was still barely clinging to life.

It had only survived because it was the strongest of his pets. With a CROAK, it spat Lu Yuansong out from its mouth.

He had only narrowly escaped death by hiding inside the toad’s stomach. Even so, emerging from the toad’s belly, he was in a pathetic state.

”Oh? Still alive? No matter how you struggle, it’s all in vain,” Dean Pan said mockingly, looking at Lu Yuansong’s wretched state.

”It won’t be that easy to kill me!” Lu Yuansong looked at Dean Pan and the approaching Li Qian, his lips curling into a cruel smirk.

His eyes red with fury, he looked completely unhinged. Then, he roared wildly, ”Poisonous Toad, explode!”

As his roar faded, the Poisonous Toad, which was already half-dead, suddenly began to emit waves of ominous dark light.

Within the dark light, one could clearly see the Poisonous Toad’s body rapidly expanding. Seeing this, Dean Pan glanced at the approaching Li Qian and shouted a warning, ”It’s going to self-destruct! Li Qian, get back!”

Li Qian had just gotten close, having taken only a few steps, when he heard Dean Pan’s loud warning. He didn’t hesitate for an instant, immediately turning to run for his life.

Even though he was still some distance from their battlefield, Li Qian didn’t dare to take any chances. This was the self-destruction of a Holy Spirit-level Pet Beast; there was no telling how far the blast would reach.

Li Qian retreated swiftly. In the space of just a few breaths, an earth-shattering explosion erupted from the battlefield.

Accompanying the sound of the explosion was a terrifying black cloud that spread out in all directions.
