Chapter 543 - 348: Contract: New Soul Beast

Chapter 543: Chapter 348: Contract: New Soul Beast

Suddenly, the sound of heavy footsteps came from the corridor outside.

Ladar and his companion’s expressions changed at the same time. They turned to look.

At some point, two figures—one large, one small—had appeared in the doorway.

Ladar’s expression turned incredibly grim as he looked at the two completely unfamiliar figures.

Even with his Tier Five Spiritual Power, he hadn’t detected the slightest movement.

It wasn’t until the two beings reached the doorway that they heard footsteps.

Clearly... the intruders had let them hear on purpose.

And when Ladar’s gaze fell upon Huai Kong, an even more profound look of terror appeared on his face. His ugly features contorted uncontrollably, his pupils dilating.

"Vilornox! Why are you here?!"

It was like seeing someone who should have been impossible to see suddenly appear right before them. The group of them froze, stopping everything they were doing to stare in astonishment at Huai Kong, who stood beside Han Ning.

"So that’s why the Spiritual Array was broken so quickly. It was you all along, you traitor."

The one helping Ladar and his men crack the Spiritual Array was none other than a Beast Master from the Wangchao Family—Lailake!

"Kill them!"

Ladar’s expression shifted from surprise to grim determination. The space around him warped, and five massive figures materialized.

Seeing this, Han Ning quietly retreated behind Huai Kong.

"AWOOOO!!"

The intelligent Huai Kong understood immediately. A brilliant blue electric light flashed in its eyes.

Its body grew inch by inch. As it roared, a pair of sharp fangs emerged from its mouth, and it gave a light tap of its foot.

SWOOSH!!

A dazzling blue current streaked across the small room in a magnificent zigzag.

Han Ning’s pupils dilated slightly. Even with his Profound Moon Level Spiritual Power, he could only faintly perceive a flash of blue light streaking past.

The dust motes and Spiritual Particles in the air seemed to freeze in place. Only that bright arc of electricity leaped through the air at incredible speed.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!!

In what felt like a mere pause of consciousness.

Huai Kong, before him, was still in the same posture, its head thrown back in a roar.

Before his eyes, all of them—Ladar and the four other black-robed Alien Race Beast Masters, along with the dozen-plus Soul Beasts that had either leaped from their Soul Beast Spaces or were already in the room—had their bodies torn into several pieces.

SPLAT!!

Blood sprayed out like a waterfall, instantly drenching the grayish-white floor. The different colored bloods mixed, forming a viscous pool.

THUD THUD THUD~

A series of heavy thuds echoed in his ears.

"Hiss..."

As his senses returned, Han Ning stared at the lifeless bodies, his heart pounding with astonishment.

’So this is the oppressive power of a Wuzhiqi... It’s just too strong.’

An Emperor IV Soul Beast had instantly slaughtered every creature before it with absolutely crushing force.

"Huai Kong, that was amazing!"

Han Ning had expected this outcome, but seeing it unfold before his very eyes was still a shock.

Han Ning gave Huai Kong a thumbs-up.

"Hmph!"

Huai Kong lifted its head, its expression full of disdain.

As if to say, ’Is that all?’

Blood and gore covered the floor.

A rustling, crawling sound arose from amidst the indescribable piles of flesh.

A dozen or so plain, black-skinned worms crawled out from the chunks of flesh, wriggling aimlessly across the floor.

"This is..."

"Gumi!!"

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm was fascinated by the Realm-Splitting Insects. The moment they appeared, it sent a wave of longing to Han Ning.

’Want to eat!!’

"Leave one for me to observe. You can have the rest," Han Ning said with a smile, stroking the restless Little Fatty Silkworm on his shoulder.

Despite the Realm-Splitting Insects having the power of an Emperor I, their race’s unique nature meant these Soul Beasts had extremely low intelligence and were not fond of fighting. It seemed they could only be made aggressive through special means.

"Gumi~"

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm happily wiggled its chubby rear end and shot out in a streak of crimson light.

The streak of crimson light weaved between the Realm-Splitting Insects.

Although the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm was weaker than them, it seemed to be their natural predator. In the blink of an eye, the dozen-plus Realm-Splitting Insects had all been swallowed whole.

It ballooned in size, transforming from a small, round, palm-sized silkworm into a giant, fat one at least three times larger than Han Ning.

Its perfectly round belly looked as if it could burst at any moment.

"Goo~mee~"

The All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm wobbled its massive body back to its master’s side, rolling almost like a giant ball.

With Ladar, the mastermind, dead, the plot to split the Secret Realm had failed. Han Ning figured that the higher-ups of the Deep Sea Race were skilled enough to quickly determine the separated realm’s location. The rest he could leave for them to pinpoint.

He quickly looted the corpses of the dead Soul Beasts and Beast Masters, collecting everything useful. Then he called to Huai Kong and hurriedly left the main hall.

Back at the entrance, Irena and Lin Ke were sitting in rows on the steps with a hundred Water Apes, looking like a teacher on a field trip with her students.

"Hey! Don’t run off, it’s dangerous out there!"

"Squeak!"

With her hands on her hips, Lin Ke watched the Water Apes with a curious expression, trying to get the younger, more boisterous little apes to sit still.

"Huai Kong, do you trust me?"

Han Ning watched the ongoing battle in the distance and suddenly asked Huai Kong in a serious tone.
