The [Spear Warrior]'s eyes widened in disbelief.
He had indeed fought other Sword Guards before, always defeating them with his astonishing spear skills. But this Sword Guard before him was not what he had expected; it had actually summoned lightning!
The [Spear Warrior]'s first instinct was to dodge. However, its body was currently spinning in mid-air, with no solid ground to land on!
It widened its eyes, feeling a sense of despair!
In the next moment, lightning surged through its entire body.
Crackling sounds, like popping beans, echoed.
"Dou!"
The [Spear Warrior] let out a painful cry.
The lightning continuously bombarded its body, making it emit black smoke and froth at the mouth. Its body trembled, rustling like the wind.
Tu Tian was slow to react, stunned by the turn of events.
A lightning-element Sword Guard!
He had initially thought this was just a battle between two contract beasts skilled in ice blades. Relying on his [Spear Warrior]'s extensive combat experience, he was certain he could crush the opponent effortlessly.
But this sudden change caught him completely off guard.
Tu Tian roared, " [Spear Warrior], drop your spear!"
"Dou~~"
The [Spear Warrior] let out a weak cry, listlessly dropping its spear. Its hands were already charred black, reduced to a pile of carbon!
It then collapsed weakly!
"Ah!!!"
"I'll kill you!"
Tu Tian's eyes widened in fury.
Although contract beasts could be repaired through medical means regardless of the severity of their injuries, once crippled, restoration would not only require vast sums of money but also significantly impair their combat power even after recovery!
The few people present were all stunned.
Zhao Biao murmured,
"Old Qiu, this... this Sword Guard? If I remember correctly, Tu Tian's [Spear Warrior] had a combat power of 462! But it was instantly killed by a Sword Guard! What is this Sword Guard's combat power? Or perhaps young friend Lu Fei intentionally concealed something?"
At this moment, Qiu Xia held a beast-taming illustrated book, observing Lu Fei's Ironhead.
The illustrated book indicated that this Sword Guard had reached level 31! For a contract beast of a beginner beast tamer, this level was far beyond the norm.
Qiu Xia looked at the combat power displayed by the illustrated book, his eyes wide with disbelief.
This Sword Guard's combat power had reached an astonishing 420! Contract beasts of levels 30-40 could only reach a maximum of 500 combat power, even with extraordinary talent!
After calming down, he thought carefully. Even if this Sword Guard's combat power was exceptionally high, it shouldn't have been able to instantly kill the opposing [Spear Warrior] with a combat power of 462!
After a moment of thought, Qiu Xia attributed the reason to the contract beast's skills and attributes. However, the illustrated book did not display the skills of owned contract beasts, which only fueled his curiosity.
In the arena, Lu Fei was not surprised at all by Ironhead's instant kill of the [Spear Warrior].
In the past few days, they had killed many berserk contract beasts in this forest, including a berserk [Giant Forest Boa]. Compared to the [Giant Forest Boa] they encountered a while ago, this [Giant Forest Boa] was more ferocious and even larger.
But after a fierce battle, Ironhead eventually killed it!
Sometimes, talent was simply inexplicable. Coupled with his overpowered [Unstable] evolution talent, Ironhead's combat power had skyrocketed in just a few days.
When it reached level 31, the [Unstable Evolution] talent was activated again, this time bestowing a brand-new characteristic skill upon Ironhead!
Indeed, it was an additional characteristic skill added to the original [Desperate Battle] skill, named [Battle Maniac]!
Its description was also simple and unpretentious.
Contract beasts with [Battle Maniac] have their physical attack doubled!
Tu Tian's eyes were bloodshot. Seeing the barely alive [Spear Warrior], he completely lost his reason.
" [Earth Nova Cannon], bombard him! Bombard him! Bombard him!!!!"
He regretted his arrogance. If he had been more cautious, perhaps the [Spear Warrior] would not have been in such a sorry state.
Following Tu Tian's shout.
Two cannon barrels, still wrapped in bandages, of the [Earth Nova Cannon] were firmly planted on the ground.
It had almost died in the previous confrontation with the [Army Ant], but thanks to the recovery ability of the beast-taming scroll, its strength had been restored by more than eighty percent.
Receiving the master's combat command.
The [Earth Nova Cannon] raised its barrels, and countless missiles shot towards Lu Fei's direction.
The missiles in the air were dense.
"Ironhead! [Nine Solitary Swords]!"
As the combat command was issued, Ironhead, with a tacit understanding, activated its special skill, [Nine Solitary Swords]!
Its movements were as agile as a sprite.
No matter how fast the attack was, it seemed incredibly slow in Ironhead's eyes. It could always dodge every attack at the perfect moment!
This was the first-stage effect of [Nine Solitary Swords]!
100% evasion of all incoming attacks!
All the missiles were either dodged by Ironhead or split in two by its sword strikes!
Accompanied by a golden figure streaking through the air.
Ironhead had, at some point, leaped onto the [Earth Nova Cannon]'s back and, with its short sword, indifferently carved a seven-character mark!
" [Earth Nova Cannon], it's on your back!"
Bang bang bang!
The [Earth Nova Cannon] raised its lowered gaze and fired several shells consecutively, but not in the way it intended.
" [Earth Nova Cannon], what are you doing! I command you to bombard him!"
Tu Tian shouted angrily.
The [Earth Nova Cannon] seemed to be straining, its body visibly expanding. It had tried its best to unleash its skills, but it didn't understand why it couldn't fire.
It gathered its strength again, and several more missiles were brewing within it.
Suddenly, a sinister smile appeared on Ironhead's face as it leaped from the [Earth Nova Cannon]'s back. At the same time, the cannon mouths, previously blocked by the [Seven-Character Slash], were unblocked. In the next moment, countless missiles blasted onto the [Earth Nova Cannon]'s own back!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
The countless missiles, too many to count, were uncontrollable even by the skill's caster, the [Earth Nova Cannon]!
Dust billowed everywhere on the ground!
The crowd could not see what was happening in the arena, shielding themselves from the swirling dust.
"What happened!"
Zhou Qiu squinted and asked.
"Cough... Cough... What powerful explosive force. If I had been hit directly, I would probably be dead or crippled!"
Zhao Biao exclaimed in surprise.
A moment later, the dust slowly dissipated.
" [Earth Nova Cannon]!"
Tu Tian immediately looked for the [Earth Nova Cannon] in the arena but couldn't find its large, sturdy figure. However, since the Sword Guard was also nowhere to be seen, Tu Tian breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, a faint smell of blood wafted through the air, and a light blood mist floated in mid-air.
Upon seeing this, Tu Tian's expression lit up with joy. He laughed loudly, "Hahaha, your Sword Guard has been blown to smithereens by me!"
