"I think you're playing with fire!"
Anyone who had raised a spiritual pet knew that the spiritual pet's level couldn't be too much higher than its master's. Zhuyan was a ferocious exotic beast to begin with. It could even kill its master at the same level. The hunchbacked old man wasn't strong to begin with. If it weren't for the special tool, the sack, he might have been eaten by Zhuyan.
He had already fed Zhuyan to late-stage nineteen, but he still didn't give up and wanted it to break through to level twenty. Once Zhuyan really broke through to level twenty, he would lose control at any moment.
"You can't run. None of you can run!"
A glint flashed in the hunchbacked old man's eyes. He did something that even Du Feng couldn't believe. A dagger appeared in his hand out of nowhere, and he stabbed his nephew, the little dwarf.
"Uncle, you …"
The little dwarf wanted to say something, but the hunchbacked old man's dagger stirred in his body. He was in so much pain that he couldn't speak.
"Hahaha, you're all my stepping stones."
He called Zhuyan over and quickly ate his nephew's blood while it was still warm. Zhuyan was still under the control of the sack. As expected, it didn't fight with Xiao Hei anymore. Instead, it obediently swallowed the little dwarf. After swallowing the little dwarf, its aura rose again, and it really reached the peak of level nineteen.
"Hiss …" Seeing this, Du Feng sucked in a breath of cold air!
This hunchbacked old man was really crazy to feed his own nephew to his spiritual pet. But his crazy plan was indeed effective. Zhuyan's strength rose again, and it turned to fight with Xiao Hei again.
Damn it! Du Feng didn't dare to kill the hunchbacked old man yet. If he did, Zhuyan would definitely go out of control. An out-of-control exotic beast was more dangerous than a controlled exotic beast.
To put it bluntly, the existence of a master would actually limit the exotic beast's abilities to a certain extent. If it lost its master's control, the exotic beast was likely to use self-mutilation to fight with Xiao Hei until both sides suffered. The best thing to do now was to snatch the sack and use it to control the old man.
But the problem was that the hunchbacked old man held the sack tightly and carefully avoided Du Feng. He was already prepared. As long as Du Feng dared to snatch it, he would destroy it. No one could dream of obtaining the Zhuyan he had raised.
Du Feng changed his mind. He decided not to attack the hunchbacked old man. Instead, he attacked Zhu Yan with Xiao Hei.
"Go!"
He patted the red gourd on his waist, and all thirty Blood Severing Flying Swords flew out. He aimed at Zhu Yan's lower limbs, which had relatively weak defenses, and stabbed them from different angles.
"Crunch crunch …"
What an unpleasant sound. It sounded like someone was trying to use a sharp dagger to cut open a sheet of iron. No, to be precise, it was a thick sheet of copper. This was because the fur of Zhu Yan's lower limbs was an authentic bronze color.
The Middle-grade Connate Immortal Artifact, Blood Cleansing Flying Swords, sliced the bronze-colored fur. Although it didn't directly pierce through, it still made a lot of cuts. It was just that the cuts weren't deep enough. The latter said that Zhu Yan's fur was too thick, so it wasn't bleeding yet.
It was fine as long as it was effective!
Du Feng was afraid that he wouldn't be able to break through Zhu Yan's defenses. That would be troublesome. Since he could break through its defenses, he could keep attacking and buy more opportunities for Xiao Hei.
"Roar …"
Zhu Yan let out a furious roar after its lower limbs were injured. Strangely, it didn't become irritable. Instead, it became calmer. It squatted down slightly and hid its relatively weak limbs to reduce the area of attack.
Then, two large bumps appeared on its shoulder blades. Nobody knew what it was doing.
"Brother Du, this seems a little troublesome."
Others might not know what Zhu Yan was doing, but as a divine beast, Xiao Hei knew very well that it was a four-armed Zhu Yan. Two more arms would grow from its shoulder blades. It would definitely be more difficult to attack and defend with four arms at the same time.
Tsk, tsk, tsk … this Zhu Yan was really unusual. No wonder the hunchbacked old man fed it with all his might. In order to let this Zhu Yan grow, the hunchbacked old man must have caught many demon beasts as food.
"I'll stall it first. You use your ultimate move."
Du Feng made a plan. He and Xiao Hei switched roles. He would fight Zhu Yan personally and let Xiao Hei prepare his ultimate move on the side.
"Alright!"
Xiao Hei agreed and jumped out of the battle circle. Du Feng approached Zhu Yan with the Dragon Riding Sword. The thirty Blood Severing Flying Swords were still hovering around Zhu Yan, ready to attack its lower limbs at any time.
"Roar, roar …"
Zhu Yan didn't rush to attack after gaining four arms. Instead, it used its fists to pound its body. The two front hands pounded its chest and abdomen, while the two back hands clenched into fists and pounded its entire back. It felt like a big drum.
"Bang! Bang! Bang! "
Zhu Yan was really willing to hit itself. It pounded loudly. As it kept pounding, the muscles on its body changed from square to small lumps. It felt like they were being pounded to pieces.
No, they were clearly not being pounded to pieces. Instead, they were becoming more solid. After a round of pounding, Zhu Yan's body became smaller. However, its muscles became more compact, and even its fur shrank. Its arms became as thick as a house, while its torso shrunk a little.
In this way, its attack range became longer, and the area attacked was relatively smaller.
More importantly, the muscles that had become like lumps of iron had greatly increased Zhuyan's defensive power. Seeing its state, even Du Feng was a little worried. He reckoned that other than the Dragon Riding Sword, the Blood Severing Flying Swords probably couldn't hurt this beast anymore.
"Master, do you need my help?"
Seeing this scene, the male ghost cultivator of Blossom City was a little anxious. He wanted to control the skeleton warriors to come out and help.
"No need. Let's see how it goes first!"
If the skeleton warriors also joined the battle, three of them would definitely be able to win quickly. However, the problem was that they were on Floating Island No. 3 of the Second Heaven, not too far from the Heavenly Palace. The skeleton warriors were covered in Devil Qi, and they were afraid of attracting the attention of the Heavenly Palace's higher-ups. If they were to kill it as a Devil Cultivator, Du Feng would suffer a great loss.
In fact, Du Feng had also considered whether to fight Zhu Yan in a meditative state. Because in the meditative state, his nails could be said to be indestructible. He might even be able to absorb Zhu Yan's Essence Blood to replenish some Essence Energy.
However, considering that this place was not far from the Heavenly Palace, Du Feng also didn't dare to do that. If the Immortal Emperor in the Heavenly Palace found out and killed him as a Meditation Cultivator who had sneaked into the Heavenly Realm, it would be big trouble.
