The Gu family's ten Emperors were practically all the Gu family's Supreme Grade elites.
They'd set out together to kill Ling Xiao, then head to Wind Cloud City and annihilate all of Ling Xiao's forces so that they could display the Gu family's might and let everyone in the central region know that the Gu family wasn't to be trifled with.
They'd already taken Ling Xiao's strength quite seriously this time.
However, they didn't know how strange and frightening Ling Xiao's method of killing was. He didn't even need to use much spiritual energy to kill people one by one. This was almost like a demon's killing, which made people feel extremely terrified.
Gu Ai couldn't understand it no matter how hard he tried. Their strength was enough to sweep through any of the eighteen great powers, but they'd clearly gained the upper hand, yet they'd still been completely annihilated by a few people.
He simply couldn't accept this fact!
"Dammit, I'm going to kill all of you here!"
Gu Ai was like an enraged lion. After letting out a shout, he finally summoned his spirit beast.
He'd thought that he could deal with them easily with their strength, but he hadn't expected that he'd still be forced to use his trump card.
Rumble!
Powerful lightning energy blasted out incessantly, and a purple figure instantly filled the air. The surroundings seemed to be affected by the lightning.
An extremely powerful and oppressive aura caused the expressions of Ling Xiao and the others to turn grim. The aura was so oppressive that they felt like they couldn't move.
There was no need to guess, this was definitely Gu Ai's protective spiritual beast.
This spiritual beast didn't take the form of a beast, but a human. His expression was cold and gloomy, and his body was tall and mighty. Lightning energy constantly revolved around him, and his purple hair curled up like a snake, making him seem extremely arrogant and domineering.
A spirit beast that could transform into a human form was a high-rank spirit beast that was at least a Class Eight Spirit Beast!
"This … this is a grade eight transformed spiritual beast!" Ling Xiao couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
He really didn't expect Gu Ai to have such a powerful protective spiritual beast, and it was truly a surprise to him.
Thinking back to the time when he fought his way out of the Medicine Sect, he hadn't seen Huo Qianzhong and the others summon their protective spirit beasts. It seemed that they really didn't want to fight to the death with him and gave him a way out!
"Don't you know that I haven't slept enough?
Why did you call me out? "
The purple shadow looked at Gu Ai and said coldly. It didn't seem like a conversation between a master and a servant. Instead, it felt like he was suppressing Gu Ai.
Gu Ai bowed slightly and said to Zi Ying, "Uncle Snake, I had no choice. I don't know why my Gu Family's elites were killed by these bastards. I hope Uncle Snake can help me kill them all!"
Gu Ai actually called Zi Ying "Uncle Snake". This form of address was indeed thought-provoking.
In fact, this purple shadow was the transformation of the strange beast, Lei She. The Lei She was an ancient strange beast that possessed the thunder attribute. Its attack power was quite terrifying among those of the same rank, and it was comparable to a flood dragon and other high-rank spiritual beasts.
It wasn't Gu Ai's protective spiritual beast under the master-servant contract. Instead, it was Gu Ai's ancestor's protective spiritual beast. Before his ancestor passed away, he terminated the contract with Lei She and asked Lei She to serve Gu Ai as his master.
However, Gu Ai's strength was far inferior to his. Naturally, Lei She wouldn't be willing to submit. He only agreed to stay by Gu Ai's side as an equal and wouldn't sign a master-servant contract with Gu Ai.
Gu Ai also knew that he wasn't strong enough. He couldn't force Lei She, so he could only agree to be an equal.
Lei She was already a peak low-rank eighth rank spiritual beast. He had already successfully transformed and was one of the Gu Family's guardian beasts.
The fact that Gu Ai had summoned him meant that she was enraged. She swore that she would not be satisfied until Ling Xiao and the others were annihilated!
Lei She glanced at Ling Xiao and the others. At first, his eyes showed extreme disdain. However, when his gaze fell on the prodigal, his body trembled slightly. "No … impossible. Why is there a member of the royal family here?"
"Hehe, so it's a big snake. Your strength isn't bad!" The prodigal stared at Lei She with a relaxed expression and laughed.
He was a divine beast. Even though his rank was lower than the Thunder Serpent's, he possessed the supreme divine beast bloodline of the Beast Clan. In front of low-ranked spirit beasts, he was born with a sense of superiority and arrogance. Moreover, the pressure from his bloodline could make low-ranked spirit beasts like him feel a sense of fear.
"Uncle Snake, is there a problem?
This kid is strong and has Heavenly Fire. Uncle Snake, please get rid of them quickly! "Gu Ai said from the side.
Lei She hesitated for a while and narrowed his eyes. He extended his senses and only relaxed when he realized that there were no more powerful auras around.
He said to the prodigal, "This must be His Highness Qilin. You can leave. I don't want to make things difficult for you!"
Although Lei She was strong, he didn't want to obtain the royal family of the Qilin bloodline. Otherwise, even if he hid at the ends of the earth, he would still die.
Of course, he didn't want his ten thousand years of cultivation to go up in smoke. That was why he asked the prodigal to leave.
"His Highness Qilin?
Uncle Snake, he … who exactly is he? "Gu Ai asked with a surprised expression.
Gu Ai couldn't help but worry and pay attention to an existence that could make a rank eight spiritual beast afraid of him.
Lei She didn't answer him. He just stared at the prodigal, waiting for his answer.
The prodigal smiled coldly. "A big snake like you doesn't have the right to order me!"
Any descendant of a Divine Beast, no matter how low its rank was, would never yield to any low-rank high-rank spiritual beast.
This was a noble and arrogant inheritance that came from the bloodline!
Lei She narrowed his eyes and said fiercely, "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being impolite!"
As he finished speaking, he waved his hand and several huge thunderbolts blasted towards Ling Xiao, Fang Chen, and Yuan Zhantian.
Every thunderbolt was as big as a giant tree that required several people to wrap their arms around. The terrifying destructive power was enough to kill any high-level Mystic Emperor.
This was just a casual attack from Lei She, but it already had such power. This was something that Gu Ai couldn't achieve even if he used all his strength.
The difference between the ranks was really a huge chasm.
Gu Ai seemed to have seen the tragic scene of Ling Xiao and the others being annihilated. She couldn't help but feel proud in her heart. "It's a great honor for me to ask Uncle Snake to come out and annihilate you!"
However, at this critical moment, the thunderbolts that were about to hit Ling Xiao seemed to have met with some kind of obstruction. They were forcefully blasted back in the direction of Lei She and Gu Ai.
Lei She was shocked. He pulled Gu Ai and instantly leaped upwards to avoid being counterattacked.
Lei She narrowed his eyes and looked in a direction in front of him. Then, without saying anything, he pulled Gu Ai and turned around to escape. His speed was really as fast as lightning, making it hard for the naked eye to catch him.
"If you let that big snake escape, you don't have to live anymore!" The prodigal suddenly said.
"Yes, Your Highness!"
A loud and clear voice responded. In an instant, a strong fiery light blew and chased in the direction of Lei She.
Ling Xiao wiped his sweat and said, "Damn it, I almost failed miserably. I didn't expect this old fellow to have such an existence by his side!"
Fortunately, when the other party was talking to the prodigal, Ling Xiao had already made full preparations. As soon as Lei She made his move, he immediately summoned the Earthly Flaming Tiger.
Otherwise, those terrifying bolts of lightning would have already turned them into ashes.
Lei She ran very fast with Gu Ai. In the blink of an eye, they were already thousands of miles away.
Unfortunately, the Earthly Flaming Tiger was no longer what it used to be. It had already broken through a small rank and reached the intermediate level of the eighth rank. Naturally, its speed had also greatly improved.
In just a few moments, it intercepted Lei She and Gu Ai.
"How dare you offend His Highness. You're courting death!" He roared and swung a huge tiger fist toward Lei She's head.
The powerful tiger fist was like a mountain. The strong flames smashed toward Lei She with the momentum of burning the sky.
Lei She was shocked. He quickly retreated and at the same time, threw Gu Ai far away. Several powerful thunderbolts blocked in front of the tiger fist.
Boom boom boom!
Thunder and lightning intersected with each other in the tiger fist, producing a deafening roar.
The Earthly Flaming Tiger's aura surged. It sent several punches toward Lei She again. The thunderbolts did not seem to pose much of a threat to him!
Lei She could not escape. He could only bite the bullet and continue to resist.
However, the difference in strength made it difficult for him to resist. His body was smashed far away, and fresh blood flowed out violently.
Without hesitation, Ray Serpent immediately transformed into his true form. A purple snake that was more than 100 meters long appeared. Bolts of lightning continuously bombarded down from the sky.
Lei She's body flipped a few times and pounced toward the Earthly Flaming Tiger. Those bloodthirsty fangs and huge bloody mouth made people feel terrified.
The Earthly Flaming Tiger was still fearless. Its tiger fists carried the power to destroy heaven and earth as they smashed down continuously.
After Lei She transformed, his aura also caught up to that of the Earthly Flaming Tiger. He could already withstand the Earthly Flaming Tiger's tiger fists. He kept spitting out thunderbolts and smashing them toward the Earthly Flaming Tiger. The snake's mouth kept biting.
The battle between the two was abnormally ferocious!
After all, the Earthly Flaming Tiger had just advanced to the mid-eighth level not long ago. It was not his true form, so he was unable to take down Lei She immediately.
He angrily roared, "I'm going to eat you alive!"
The Earthly Flaming Tiger was also the king of tigers. He instantly transformed into his true form. The huge tiger body appeared majestic and extraordinary!
The snake and tiger started fighting again.
This time, Razer was no longer in a good position. Chunks of bloody flesh were bitten off by the Scorching Tiger, causing it to let out a blood-curdling screech.
Gu Ai saw that the situation was not good and had already fled as far as he could. He thought to himself in horror, 'What's going on? Why does Ling Xiao have so many capable people around him? Could it be that the Evil Emperor left them for him to protect his life?
It's over this time. If even Uncle She can't win, then our Gu family will not be able to escape this calamity. We must hurry back and prepare early! '
