Jiang He realized that he was getting a little carried away.
An autumn breeze was blowing.
Under the moonlight, he stood on a ridge and muttered, "Am I being a little too rash? After all, the enemy is in the dark while I'm out in the open. Moreover, I don't know how strong the enemy is. There's no need to talk about winning, but what if I can't …"
He called out to Dumbo and was ready to leave.
As long as there's life, there's hope.
When he returned, he would find a way to plant some medicinal pellets. Would he still have to fear the Sky Demon Cult if he popped them every day?
Even so, Dumbo did not move.
Its body was crouching as it lunged forward, growling and baring its fangs with a vicious look on its face.
The Three-tails Demon Cat meowed sharply as well before rapidly enlarging, standing guard in front of Jiang He on both sides.
Jiang He's face twitched as he looked ahead.
A rumble could be heard from the cornfield up ahead. Soon, two figures slowly stepped out, with the rank-two Feral dog behind them.
Cordo, scimitar in hand, did a double take when he saw the battle before him and exclaimed in surprise, "A rank-one and a rank-three. Old Wang, you're still saying he's not a beast-tamer?"
The black-robed figure did not say a word.
He put his finger on the corner of his mouth and blew a loud whistle.
In the next split second, a series of whooshing sounds could be heard from all directions as a dozen Ferals slowly walked out of the cornfield.
Most of them were cats and dogs, but there was also a giant snake that was half a meter thick and over a dozen meters long, as well as a gray wolf.
It was true that he was a beast-tamer, but he had not awakened his powers for long and could not control powerful Ferals. Most importantly, there were not many Ferals here that he could use.
Jiang He's expression became even more somber.
There was a rank-four martial artist and a mysterious beast-tamer in front of him, and a dozen Ferals around them. How could a martial arts newbie like him have ever seen such a battle?
"Danger!"
"It's too dangerous!"
"Even if I'm not weak, I don't have much practical experience. I can't hold back, I definitely can't hold back. I must kill them in one strike, just in case!"
Sweat appeared on Jiang He's forehead.
With a turn of his hand, a pea appeared in his palm as he growled, "Dumbo, Trumbo, go back!"
Obedient to Jiang He, the Three-tails Demon Cat turned and left.
On the other hand, Dumbo gave Jiang He a puzzled look before leaving.
The beasts did not stop them.
Perhaps the Beast Tamer felt that letting go of a Rank-3 Vicious Beast and a Rank-1 Vicious Beast would give them an advantage in battle.
Cordo took a step forward. The aura of a peak fourth-grade martial artist erupted from his body, causing the surrounding corn stalks to collapse. He sneered with a ferocious glint in his eyes, "Brat, there's a path to heaven, but you chose to barge into hell instead. How dare you go against my Holy Church? Have you thought about how you'll die?"
Holding the pea tightly, Jiang He seethed, "Don't move. One more step and I'll throw the bomb!"
"Bomb?"
Cordo did a double take. Being a rank-four martial artist, his eyesight far surpassed the average person, and he could clearly see the pea in Jiang He's hand under the moonlight.
The beans were huge.
It was green and translucent. If it was cooked and fried, sprinkled with cumin and other spices, it would definitely taste delicious.
He laughed out loud. "Brat, I may not be educated, but I'm no fool. Who do you think you're trying to scare with a pea … What the hell …"
However, before he could finish his sentence, he saw that the crystal clear green pea had already flown towards him.
A sense of danger that made his hair stand on end arose spontaneously.
Cordo retreated by reflex, charging his True Qi to shield his body.
In the next instant, the pea landed.
Boom!
With a dull rumble, an intense fiery radiance shot into the air. Even the earth quaked a little, and the rank-one daemons that had surrounded Jiang He were sent flying by the shockwave of the explosion. As for the black-robed beast-tamer, he was already at the dog's side …
They were too close to Cordo.
Cordo, however, was delighted to react and promptly retreated dozens of meters.
All he saw was a flash. The intense fiery radiance was a little blinding, and in the next split second, a tremendous force acted upon his body, sending him flying high into the air like a gunny sack. In the air, he could even see half of his body flying in another direction.
Moreover, the rank-two Feral dog he had spent so much effort to control was instantly blown into a bloody mess by the shockwave of the explosion, and it could not be more dead.
His black robe was torn apart.
His withered body fell to the ground, crashing into a field of corn.
That was when he came to his senses. "So that's my lower body …"
That was his last thought.
"What the …"
Jiang He himself was stunned by the power of the pea's explosion.
At that moment, he even forgot about the System's warm reminder. Still, he instinctively charged his Indestructible Diamond and Nine Yang True Qi to shield his body, and the violent shockwave of the explosion struck Jiang He's body with a heat flow.
Even his Indestructible Diamond's defenses were blown apart!
With a crisp crack, Jiang He spat out a mouthful of blood and stumbled back a dozen steps before stabilizing himself.
Directing his True Qi to suppress his boiling qi and blood, Jiang He charged his Indestructible Diamond again.
His gaze then fell upon the spot where the pea had landed.
It was the epicenter of the explosion.
There had been a verdant cornfield there, but there was now a three-meter-wide and one-meter-deep crater. Corn and corn were a mess around the edge of the crater, and the corpse of the rank-two Feral dog lay sprawled on the ground … in the shape of a dog.
The corpses of the other rank-one Ferals were scattered all over the ground.
Gasp!
Jiang He inhaled sharply and muttered, "It's just an ordinary pea, but it's actually so frightening? Even though I was twenty meters away from the epicenter, the shockwave alone broke my Indestructible Diamond and made my qi and blood boil! "
"If this was a strengthened pea seed that was five times more powerful, I would have died from that explosion."
"Hold on …"
"Where's that shorty?"
Jiang He's face dropped all of a sudden.
He abruptly turned, and a black shadow shot towards him from behind.
The curved blade in the black shadow's hand resembled a crescent moon, and a cold glint sliced towards Jiang He.
The blade landed directly on Jiang He's chest.
Jiang He stumbled two steps back, his gaze fixed on the figure as he seethed through clenched teeth, "You're not dead, shorty?"
"Eh?"
Cordo was infuriated by the insult. Just as he was about to follow up with another attack, he abruptly retracted his foot and exclaimed, "Impossible! Even if you're at the fifth grade of the Martial Path, there's no way you can take a blow from me without being injured!"
"Unscathed?"
Jiang He touched his own chest.
There was a little blood on his finger.
Scowling, he said, "How could you lie through your teeth, shorty? Your blade was really powerful. You actually broke through my Indestructible Diamond and cut open the skin on my chest … and you call that unscathed? "
"Cut open your chest?"
Feeling as if his intelligence was being insulted, Cordo growled, "A warrior would rather be killed than humiliated! Come on, kid! I, Cordo, shall cut you down today and clear the path for our holy faith!"
Scimitar in hand, he lunged towards Jiang He again.
Be that as it may, he heard a deafening draconic roar just as the silhouette of a golden dragon crashed directly into his chest.
"Is that Mighty Dragon Repents that powerful?"
