Chapter 139: Chapter 139 Battle

The speed of the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard is indeed fast; it can outrun one person, and it can outrun two, but it cannot outrun three.

Three people taking turns, seamlessly linking the old with the new, can completely intercept the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard.

The Black Dragon Shadow Leopard had no choice but to utter irritable woofs; it liked to hunt the weak first and save the strong for a slow torment.

But now, it couldn’t do that.

With fierce eyes, these three were the culprits hindering its pleasure; without any hesitation, it charged straight at Yang Jian, who was closest to it.

Naturally, Yang Jian would not falter; he attacked with his sword.

The others also sprang into action.

The Black Dragon Shadow Leopard belonged to the pure physical attack type of Demon Beast; all its attack moves relied on its powerful body.

Thus, when facing this Demon Beast, the people didn’t need to divert energy to defend against its energy attacks.

Combat ensued.

Wu Ya and her team launched a frontal assault in groups of three while the other team members followed the previously laid out plan, striking a pose, then closing up in a semi-circle, surrounding the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard like making dumplings!

At the same time, members of the Combat Department immediately employed control-type skills.

Aiming to subdue the Demon Beast in one fell swoop.

Binding vine whips and huge light nets cascaded towards the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard.

But regrettably, the speed of the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard was simply too fast, and none of the control skills displayed by Combat Department members hit their mark.

Or rather, they couldn’t even lock onto the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard.

"Don’t waste your Spirit Manipulation Energy; the Demon Beast is in high spirits right now, even if it’s controlled, it can easily break free!"

"First and second teams, alternate covering and attacking, we absolutely cannot give this Demon Beast the chance to catch its breath!"

"Combat Department, look for the perfect opportunity to control, and control it to death for me!"

Xu Wen fought while adjusting the combat deployment!

His thinking clear, his aim precise.

But the tone of his speech and the aura he emitted were nothing like his usual mild-mannered self; instead, they were as firm and authoritative as Wu Ya.

This was because his combat was actually always led by Wu Ya.

Just like Ye Youlong once controlled Xiao Zhan’s body.

Mutual supplementation, mutual support, to grow from weakness to strength.

This is the true purpose of the Contract.

With that said.

Xu Wen’s aura suddenly surged, his original slender body, which resembled a monkey’s, inflated like it was pumped with air, and his muscles rapidly expanded.

In just two or three seconds, he transformed into a muscular man!

Imposing in stature, veins bulging, his clothes shattered from the strain.

His skin was veiled with a mist-like presence.

It was shockingly impressive.

"What kind of Spirit Manipulation Technique is this?"

Xiao Zhan, watching from the side, exclaimed in surprise; this was the first time he had seen Xu Wen use this move.

"This isn’t a Spirit Manipulation Technique, this is the captain’s Battle Spirit Form!"

Liu Yuan said with envious, fervent eyes.

He had seen it before.

On hearing this, Xiao Zhan’s eyes instantly became fervent too.

This was his first time witnessing it.

So, this is the Battle Spirit Form, huh?

Compared to the earlier appearance, it truly was a drastic change.

Before, Xiao Zhan still had the confidence to exchange a few moves with him.

But against this buff, muscular form, Xiao Zhan didn’t have much confidence anymore.

Unless he broke through to the Third Grade.

"The captain actually played his trump card from the start?" Liu Yuan said with confusion.

The repercussions of using the Battle Spirit Form normally dictate that it won’t be used lightly, but now that the battle has just begun, Wu Ya and Xu Wen have already deployed it.

It’s out of the ordinary.

Could this Demon Beast truly pose such a great threat?

Amidst the confusion, Liu Xin spoke from behind.

"Right now is the active period for Demon Beasts, and as we are in the inner areas, we can’t afford to spend too much time fighting. A quick battle is the best way to deal with the unknown dangers."

"Moreover, all three of them are Fourth Grade with roughly the same strength; it is within the realm of control for one person to use the Battle Spirit Form ahead of the others."

Her expression was still slightly concerned, but she believed they could win.

Xiao Zhan didn’t speak on the side, but what Liu Xin said made sense; when fighting against a Demon Beast, the quicker you resolve the battle, the better.

Otherwise, if a commotion ensues and attracts other Demon Beasts, that would be a big problem.

On the battlefield.

With the Battle Spirit Form activated, Xu Wen and Wu Ya.

Their combat strength surged rapidly; Xu Wen, who had just been unable to keep up with the Demon Beast’s speed, now had some control. Although he was still slower, at least he wasn’t as passive as before.

With Yang Jian and Wang Lu coordinating feint attacks, Xu Wen seized an opportunity, and his fist, ablaze with flames, smashed down fiercely.

Solid and sure, it instantly sparked a fierce outbreak of sparks on the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard.

Scales peeled off and flew away, leaving a seared blackened area on its body.

The Black Dragon Shadow Leopard steadied itself, its sharp fangs exposed, emitting an aura of ferocity, its bloodthirsty eyes fixed on Xu Wen, growling deeply, wishing it could tear Xu Wen apart.

He had completely enraged it!

Roar!

The Black Dragon Shadow Leopard pounced towards Xu Wen!

Xu Wen, not to be outdone, immediately swung his fists, ablaze with roaring flames, to confront it head-on!

Bang bang bang!

The attacks between man and beast were particularly direct and violent.

Both sides had no technique to speak of, it was all a clash of strength!

A punch for a claw!

It was a matter of who could endure.

But it was evident that Xu Wen was the weaker one; the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard wasn’t something he could handle alone right now, or he wouldn’t have activated the Battle Spirit Form in the first place.

However, what he lacked in quality he made up for in quantity.

Yang Jian and Wang Lu, as well as the others, were no pushovers either.

With Xu Wen’s suppression, the pressure on the others decreased significantly, and the melee became intense.

The Black Dragon Shadow Leopard was being suppressed by everyone else!

The situation seemed to clear up.

But Xiao Zhan saw a problem; although they were suppressing the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard, a significant portion of the team’s attacks actually didn’t break through its scales.

It looked like solid hits, but they didn’t do any substantial damage.

Sure enough, it didn’t take long for the Black Dragon Shadow Leopard to seize an opportunity and launch a sneak attack on one of the attacking teammates.

With a sweep of its claws, it sliced the team member into two halves!

This abrupt turn of events pressed heavily on everyone’s hearts.

"As expected of a Fourth Grade Demon Beast and a top-tier Hunter, its combat power is terrifying," Xiao Zhan couldn’t help but remark.

He hesitated over whether to go help.

But just then, Xu Wen let out an angry roar on the other side, and suddenly his aura seemed to intensify yet again.

His muscles grew more pronounced, a pale pinkish hue crept over his skin, giving off a steaming-hot sensation.

But his aura was anything but subdued; like a Super Saiyan, he was fearsome to behold.

Following his roar, Xu Wen charged towards the Demon Beast.
