Divine Beast Adventures

Edited by Aelryinth

At almost the same time, all the teams from the Freemasons had launched their attacks. However, the other teams were much weaker compared to the branch president’s team. Although they indeed killed some students at the start, they were quickly brought under control when the Bei Du University and the military’s guards reacted to the situation.

Only Huang Tielan’s side erupted into an extremely fierce battle.

Lights flashed everywhere, waves of sounds were spreading out.

After all, many powerful legend-quality subdued beasts took part in the battle. The scene was earthshaking. Not only did flesh and blood splatter everywhere, the environment also suffered great destruction. The vegetation on the ground was devastated almost immediately.

As the battle raged on, not a single blade of grass could be seen any longer. The earth was almost turned upside down.

Zhao Wu and the others’ eyes went red. Everytime they attempted to break out of their current situation at the risk of their lives to go protect Huang Tielan, the wide foreheaded man would direct his powerful high-tier legend-quality subdued beasts to block them, keeping them in place.

The difference in strength between mid-tier and high-tier was truly massive. Even though Zhao Wu and the others all had their own legend-quality subdued beasts, they were helpless against the high-tier legend-quality subdued beast. It was too strong; it didn’t even need to coordinate with the other beasts. It was able to lock down Zhao Wu and the others all by itself!

“Damn it! I don’t care who you people are; you’re dead for sure!” Zhao Wu stared at the wide foreheaded man and said fiercely, “Not only you three, but the organization behind you as well! Don’t even think of having a good time. The authorities will definitely uproot you!”

It could be said that the Freemasons were poking at a huge basket. They actually dared to try to assassinate the students from Bei Du University! The Huang family didn’t even need to make a move themselves. The authorities and the military would definitely retaliate fiercely and not let the matter rest until the faction behind this was uprooted.

However, no one knew that the Freemasons had long thought of this. Those who took part in this operation were all the senior members of the Bei Du branch. These people were deeply controlled by the demonic powers and turned into half-puppets. Even if they failed and were apprehended, they wouldn’t reveal any information on the Freemasons.

“Hehehehe… We’re getting rid of evil for humanity! What do you know, you blinded fools!” the wide foreheaded man swept a glance at Zhao Wu, not wavering in the slightest.

The battle on the other side was even worse.

The Purple Jade Condor had already used its skill. Facing the combined assault from two subdued beasts of the same level and quality, it was a little overwhelmed. Its feathers were all messed up and had suffered rather severe injuries.

Jiang Chao’s side was doing even worse.

Their weaker subdued beasts had already fallen during this short period of time. Only Jiang Chao’s legend-quality subdued beast was left standing, and the young men’s dark gold-quality subdued beasts were barely hanging on. However, their injuries were very severe. None of them knew how much longer the subdued beasts could hold on for.

“Don’t be afraid and persist on! People will come to our rescue soon!”

Although Huang Tielan was anxious, she couldn’t help out in the slightest in a battle of this level. She could only grit her teeth and cheer on Jiang Chao and the others. She believed that Zhang Che was already rushing here and would arrive very soon.

When Zhang Che got here, these seemingly powerful legend-quality subdued beasts would only be trash before his eyes. They wouldn’t be able to withstand a single wave of attacks.

However, Huang Tielan didn’t know how long it would take Zhang Che to get to her. She could only mumble inside, “Zhang Xiaoche, we’ll really be in danger if you don’t show up soon!”

“Wuuwuu…” a sad cry rose up. One of the young men’s mid-tier dark gold-quality cried out when it used its own body to protect the people behind it. Its body cracked and exploded, turning into a streak of light and dissipating.

The subdued beast’s owner was a guy with a few pimples on his face. A pained look flashed in his eyes. He grit his teeth and ordered his remaining two subdued beasts to fill the dead beast’s spot, disregarding their lives to stop the advance of their powerful enemies.

In his heart, he was cursing Jiang Chao.

-Freaking Jiang Chao! This unlucky dog is dragging us down!-

Jiang Chao’s complexion was very ugly, too. His other subdued beasts were almost all dead, leaving only the legend-quality subdued beast, who was also covered in injuries and barely hanging on.

He was similarly cursing in his heart. -Why is that freaking Zhang Che still not here? We’re all going to die if he delays any longer!-

——

In the skies about a dozen kilometers away, the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon erupted all his potential, speeding ahead.

Zhang Che’s expression was incredibly dark. He didn’t expect the evil cult beastmasters to target Huang Tielan this time. Precisely because he didn’t think of this, he was idling a little too far away and wasn’t able to rescue them promptly, feeling incredibly frustrated.

“I don’t care which evil cult you’re from. I’ll definitely do all I can do kill you people! I’ll dig every last one of you out even if you hide in the corners of the world!”

He truly didn’t dare to imagine if he couldn’t reach Huang Tielan in time and something had happened to her. How was he going to shoulder the dire consequences?

“Bring out your fastest speed, no matter what it takes!” Zhang Che commanded, gritting his teeth. The Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon cried out sadly and directly erupted the strength of his origin. His entire body was enveloped in a layer of dark blue light.

That was the Darkfiend Abyssal Dragon’s origin. Erupting it wouldn’t cause just a tiny injury. Even if he returned to Zhang Che’s spiritual sea to recuperate afterwards, it would take the dragon a few days to recover.

——

The whole area pretty much fell into chaos after the Freemasons’ beastmaster teams launching sneak attacks everywhere.

The staff from Bei Du University and the military guards were all astonished. They didn’t expect someone would actually commit such heinous crimes and come attack the students so openly.

The students weren’t strong at all. They immediately crumbled facing those evil cult beastmasters’ attacks.

If it wasn’t for the university and military guards’ quick response, the casualties would have been disastrous. Even so, some students had lost their lives to the first wave of attacks by the Freemasons. Even more students were injured, the numbers reaching several dozen.

The university and military staff were both shocked and furious. Everyone rushed over immediately to capture and kill those evil cult beastmasters.

For a period of time, the whole area was plunged into chaotic battles everywhere.

——

Another miserable cry rang out. The dark gold-quality subdued beast of another young man lost its life, turning into a streak of light and dissipating.

Their defensive line was getting weaker and weaker.

On the other side, Zhao Wu’s squad was trying their hardest to break through, but they were restrained by the wide foreheaded man and were unable to do so, no matter what. Their eyes had gone completely red, their hearts burning with anxiety and they were desperate and furious.

Seeing Huang Tielan’s side had fallen into great danger, it’d be really dangerous when the Purple Jade Condor and that young man’s legend-quality subdued beast couldn’t hold on any longer.

-Damn it, damn it! Why aren’t we stronger!?- the four of them roared inside, blaming themselves for their inadequate strength. They were actually stalled by a single high-tier beastmaster who didn’t even have an epic-quality subdued beast!

They swore to themselves if this situation ended well for them, they’d go hunt exotic beasts crazily to strengthen themselves in case something like this happened again.

“Hahahaha, stop struggling. You can’t stop us with this little bit of strength of yours! Why struggle? You have truly been blinded by the demons, to actually stand against us righteous fighters for them! How foolish of you!” the wide foreheaded man laughed out loud as he directed his subdued beasts to restrain Zhao Wu’s group.

He had already seen the two legend-quality subdued beasts on the other side could not endure any longer. His two subordinates would be able to kill their prime target soon!

When he returned to the headquarters, the President would surely reward him handsomely, perhaps even letting him take the position of vice president!

Zhao Wu looked at him savagely, his lips widening into a smile and said, “You evil cult beastmasters are indeed impervious to reason!”

“What evil cult!? We’re fighting for the future of humanity! What do you foolish citizens know!?” The wide foreheaded man suddenly grew agitated. Green veins popped out on his forehead as he roared, his eyes emitting a terrifying light.

Zhao Wu couldn’t be bothered wasting his breath on him. It was impossible to communicate with the brainwashed evil cult members. It was precisely because of that conditioning that the evil cult spread everywhere and hadn’t been stopped. The authorities couldn’t find out where their nest was!

Sometimes, even if they captured the important members of the evil cult, the authorities wouldn’t be able to find out any useful information from their interrogations. No matter how professional the interrogator was, they couldn’t pry open the mouths of those evil cult fanatics. It was like they were being controlled indirectly.

—

As the battle continued, the situation became more and more disadvantageous. Everyone’s faces showed hints of anxiety. The ones who didn’t understand the situation were even showing looks of desperation.

-Am I really going to die here?-

Suddenly, a deep blue flash of lightning streaked across the sky from afar.

Huang Tielan finally showed a relieved smile. She knew Zhang Che would definitely make it in time!

It wasn’t only Huang Tielan. Even Jiang Chao and Zhao Wu’s squad showed hints of relief on their faces. With Zhang Che here, everything would end well!

The deep blue bolt of lightning was so fast it was hard to perceive with the naked eye. In just a few breaths’ time, it streaked across kilometers and appeared on the battlefield on Huang Tielan’s side.

“You all deserve to die!”

The deep blue light disappeared. Zhang Che and the elemental queen directly jumped down from mid-air. Before they landed, Zhang Che yelled out as a scarlet and white sword light shot out from his brow and swept forward. The two evil cult beastmasters’ legend-quality subdued beasts who were attacking fiercely cried out miserably one after another and turned into streaks of light in succession, dissipating into nothing.

The legend-quality subdued beasts were flaunting their strength just moments earlier, beating Jiang Chao and the others’ subdued beasts as well as the Purple Jade Condor to a pulp. They actually weren’t able to put up any resistance and were cut down instantly, shocking everyone present.

Jiang Chao relaxed and hurriedly recalled his only remaining legend-quality subdued beast, which was so heavily injured it was on the verge of death. He sighed and thought, -Zhang Che has actually grown to this extent! Not a glimmer of hope of catching up to him can be seen; he truly is too strong!-

The two mid-tier beastmasters from the Freemasons were astonished, recovering from the fear and shock of their subdued beasts getting killed slowly. Just as they thought of escaping, a scarlet and white light flashed before their eyes, and their consciousness faded into darkness.

Two heads flew into the air. The two assistants from the Freemasons’ Bei Du branch lost their lives instantly!

The wide foreheaded man was extremely frightened when he saw this. He couldn’t even spare the time to care about his other subdued beasts and directly mounted his high-tier legend-quality subdued beast, shaking off Zhao Wu and the others’ subdued beasts and flying away.

He was truly frightened by Zhang Che’s terrifying strength. How could he possibly dare to delay in the slightest? He even hated his own subdued beasts for being too weak and unable to help him escape faster.

“Thinking of running away? No way!” a sweet voice chimed. Everyone saw a flaming halberd streaking through the air, catching up to the wide foreheaded man’s mount in the blink of an eye and skewering it.

In the next moment, the powerful high-tier legend-quality subdued beast’s body suddenly erupted with golden scarlet flames from inside, engulfing the wide foreheaded man as well. His clothes immediately caught fire.

With a miserable cry, the subdued beast turned into a five-colored light and dissipated. The wide foreheaded man directly fell from mid-air, his face filled with shock and fear.

He never thought that there was such a powerful being around similar to Zhang Che, able to kill his strongest subdued beast with a single attack!

In his panic, the wide foreheaded man wanted to order the other subdued beasts which he didn’t have time to recall to come catch his fall, but they were killed one after another by the flaming halberds conjured by the elemental queen.

With a loud crash, the wide foreheaded man directly fell to the ground from dozens of meters in the air. Even though he was a high-tier beastmaster and his physique was much stronger than ordinary people, his bones broke from the fall and his organs cracked, killing him immediately.

Seeing this, everyone was shocked once more.

“Zhang Xiaoche, why are you here only now!?” Huang Tielan’s calm vanished without a trace and she flew into Zhang Che’s arms, sobbing softly.

Zhang Che let out a long sigh of relief as well. He hugged Huang Tielan tightly, consoling her in a whisper, “It’s fine now, it’s fine now. Everything’s ended. Don’t worry, I won’t leave you so far away anymore. I won’t let you get scared again.”

There were many people around them. It wasn’t appropriate for Huang Tielan to keep nesting herself in Zhang Che’s arms. After her initial agitation, she hurriedly pushed Zhang Che away, her cheeks turned red from embarrassment.

“Zhang Xiaoche, you have to thank Jiang Chao and the others. If it weren’t for them risking their lives to help us, we wouldn’t have withstood the attacks from those powerful subdued beasts.”

Huang Tielan pulled on Zhang Che’s arm and pulled him over to where the other students were, introducing them to one another.
