The Venerable Monster Tamer – Chapter 186

Section 95: I’ll Hack You to Death!

February 09, 2013 Author: Gu Zhenren

“He’s finally making his move!” Seeing Chu Yun riding the Sky Fox and soaring into the sky, the leaders of the allied forces felt uneasy.

“Chu Yun was bound to make a move. Old Red Spear and the others took good care of him when he was still unknown. Their bond is quite deep. Without Chu Yun’s reciprocation, how could these three old generals be so glorious today?” someone with inside knowledge explained, squinting.

“If Chu Yun makes a move, I wonder if General Chen Bo can stop him?” Many people were extremely nervous, their eyes widening, staring intently at the battlefield.

For a time, the focus of tens of thousands of people was almost entirely on Chu Yun and Chen Bo.

In the Archipelago, a junior general often possessed a Great Demon, a general had multiple Great Demons, and at the Great General level, they had Spirit Monsters.

The combat power of a Spirit Monster was already quite influential. It was easy to change the outcome of a small battle. For a large-scale battlefield like the current one, they also played a crucial role.

Therefore, the battle between Chu Yun and Chen Bo deeply concerned everyone.

If Chu Yun were to be defeated by Chen Bo, it would be a devastating blow to the Shu Family’s morale. The prestige of Chu Yun, the “Little Hegemon,” had deeply penetrated the hearts of the Shu Family soldiers.

Just listen to the earth-shattering cheers and fervent shouts of the Shu Family Legion at this moment; it was evident of Chu Yun’s status in their hearts.

Under the eyes of everyone, Chu Yun also felt significant pressure.

“I must win this battle. We only have my father and me as Great Generals. My father’s Azure Sea Dragon is still heavily injured and cannot fight for long. On the other hand, the enemy has three Great Generals. Our high-end combat power is inferior to theirs…”

“You are Chu Yun? Hahaha, good! You’ve been quite the sensation over the past year. Cherish it, for today is your last performance. Be shattered under my Heaven-Splitting Cudgel!”

Fierce light flashed in Chen Bo’s eyes. He directly ignored Generals Old Red Spear and Old Fish King. The Red-Spotted Two-Winged Snake beneath him hissed and flapped its fiery red wings, charging toward Chu Yun.

“Chaos of Heaven and Earth!” Chen Bo roared, his expression extremely ferocious and terrifying. The Heaven-Splitting Cudgel in his hand instantly erupted with crimson flames. The light condensed into a solid form, creating a colossal phantom image of the Heaven-Splitting Cudgel.

The soldiers on both sides simultaneously gasped. Chen Bo’s attack was too terrifying, as if he were bringing down a celestial pillar and smashing it down with savage brutality. Chu Yun seemed as insignificant as a mouse beneath this pillar.

“Young Island Master!” the Shu Family Army cried out in worry.

“That fellow Chen Bo is using his ultimate move right from the start. Heh heh heh, Chu Yun is in trouble.” Among the allied forces, Great General Yi Jing’s lips curved into a sinister smile upon seeing this.

“Indeed. Chen Bo’s combat style is known for its ferocity. With this Upper grade Cultivation Method, he can break the deadlock. After Chu Yun retreats, he will be on the defensive. Then it will be his time to shine.” The last Great General, Zhao Xie, nodded, also having high hopes for Chen Bo.

“Ferocity cannot last forever. The best response is to defend. When the opponent’s offense weakens, counterattack.” Seeing such a fierce assault, Shu Tianhao’s brow furrowed. He subconsciously began strategizing for Chu Yun in his mind.

“Dodging is useless, you are already dead!” Chen Bo gritted his teeth, detesting Chu Yun, such a young and heroic man, the most. Fierce light flickered in his eyes, as if he already saw the beautiful and bloody scene of Chu Yun being smashed to pieces by his giant cudgel.

However, the next moment, Chen Bo’s pupils contracted sharply to the size of pinpricks, his stunned expression frozen on his face!

Not only him, but everyone else had the same expression. Many leaders of the allied forces could not help but stand up from their seats.

They were stunned by the scene before them.

Water Virtue True Body!

Gleaming Giant Snow Tooth!

Gleaming marvelous Seven Wonders Blade!

Boom!

At the instant the attack descended, Chu Yun, with his skillful Cultivation Method, suddenly transformed into a Water Virtue giant. He was twenty-two feet tall, shimmering with water vapor, his sashes fluttering, his muscles bulging, exuding an unparalleled grandeur.

Simultaneously, the Drunken Snow Saber also grew to six times its size, complementing the Water Virtue giant’s physique. Then, because the Water Virtue True Body and the Drunken Snow Saber’s attributes were in harmony, the Drunken Snow Saber was further amplified. The Drunken Snow Saber’s blade doubled in width, becoming even larger than the phantom image of the Heaven-Splitting Cudgel!

Boom!

Chu Yun’s first saber strike descended, appearing like an ice peak from beyond the heavens. It directly struck the phantom image of the Heaven-Splitting Cudgel, shattering it.

Boom!

As the second saber descended, Chen Bo, greatly alarmed, also unleashed his Cultivation Method. With a roar, he clashed with the Drunken Snow Saber. Thunder exploded, and the sound waves swept through the sky, stirring up colossal waves.

Boom!

“You want to match my ferocity?! Boy, you’re still too young!” Chen Bo’s hair bristled with rage. He roared and launched a proactive attack. Chu Yun’s third saber strike came, and the two Spirit Monster Soldiers collided, creating a dazzling array of sparks.

Boom!

At this moment, Chu Yun’s fourth saber strike followed closely. The Seven Wonders Three Talents Saber was a triple consecutive strike. To increase his attack speed, Chu Yun did not even add other Cultivation Methods. He was purely swinging his saber, utilizing the sharpness of the Demonic Beast itself.

“Damn it!” Chen Bo gritted his teeth, supporting the Heaven-Splitting Cudgel with both hands to block the saber’s edge.

Boom!

The fifth saber strike came almost simultaneously.

“How can there be such a fast saber?!” Chen Bo no longer had his arrogant demeanor. Staring at the flashing saber edge, he turned pale with shock.

He barely managed to defend, but an immense, surging force struck him. He could no longer hold onto the Heaven-Splitting Cudgel. It slipped from his grasp and was sent flying.

“No—!” Without his Spirit Monster Soldier, his confidence vanished completely. He let out a sharp, terrified scream.

Swish!

Chu Yun’s sixth saber strike descended. The gleaming saber light flashed and disappeared in an instant. The saber’s energy was like a bolt of lightning, tracing a path from Chen Bo’s head downwards, across his entire body, and over his Demonic Beast mount. The saber’s energy, undiminished, finally plunged into the sea below.

A rumbling sound was heard as the sea surface was cut, creating a void a hundred feet long and eighty feet deep. The seawater behaved like jelly, cut by a translucent blade. The water that poured down the cut did not flow sideways.

This peculiar phenomenon lasted for three breaths before a loud “boom” sounded, and the sea rejoined. The returning seawater collided, splashing up towering waves.

Impacted by these surging waves, Chen Bo’s body was instantly split in two. The Red-Spotted Two-Winged Snake let out a hiss at this moment, and to everyone’s astonishment, was also cut into two halves. One half was the head, the other the tail. The snake’s body convulsed in pain.

The gushing bright red blood mixed with human organs, snake gall, and more. If one looked closely, they could also see stark white bones.

As the waves heavily crashed back into the sea, the fragmented corpses of Chen Bo and the demonic snake were carried into the ocean. On the rippling sea surface, a patch of scarlet foam appeared.

To onlookers, this scene was as if the sea had turned into a giant beast, which suddenly extended its snow-white tongue, licking and sweeping the Great General Chen Bo from mid-air into its mouth.

The entire battlefield fell silent. Even the generals engaged in fierce combat slowed down their pace, looking here with wide eyes.

No one had expected the battle to conclude like this!

“How is this possible! How could this happen?” Great General Yi Jing, also a Great General, was horrified. Just moments ago, he had been confident in Chen Bo, and the next moment, Chen Bo was directly hacked to death.

“Facing such an attack, Chu Yun actually didn’t dodge and killed Chen Bo alive with six saber strikes!” Great General Zhao Xie clicked his tongue, his mouth agape wide enough to swallow three eggs at once.

Boom!

The next moment, it was as if ten thousand tons of seawater suspended in the air suddenly plummeted down, crashing onto the ground. The sound waves swept the entire battlefield, and the Shu Family Army erupted.

“Young Island Master killed Chen Bo!”

“Now we have two Great Generals, and they have two Great Generals too!”

“Nonsense! With our Young Island Master here, why should we fear their Great Generals? We’ll kill one who comes, and a pair who come.”

“What a disgrace, Chen Bo, dead in six strikes. What a disgrace, allied forces, just as weak!”

The morale of the Shu Family Army instantly surged to its peak. They roared with fervor, many trembling with excitement. Chu Yun’s six saber strikes were so decisive and clean that it was utterly exhilarating!

“Morale is as strong as a rainbow, and the hearts of the soldiers can be utilized! Attack, attack!” Shu Tianhao’s eyes emitted a fierce divine light that was blinding. He gave the order, and the entire army charged. Every Shu Family soldier felt a fire in their hearts, ignited by Chu Yun’s exhilarating combat. Their blood boiled, and their battle spirit soared!

“Meet the enemy! Meet the enemy!” The leaders of the allied forces turned pale, gritted their teeth, and urged their armies to confront the Shu Family fleet.

The largest sea battle in the Archipelago in a hundred years then erupted in the vast expanse of the sea.

Meanwhile, on another battlefield.

Huang Xiao’s fleet collided head-on with the main fleet led by Tie Ao.

“Great General, the Tie Family is powerful. We should avoid their sharp edge and engage in a war of attrition,” a junior general advised Huang Xiao.

“Although their troop strength and warships are more than twice ours, our army has a huge advantage they lack. We don’t need to fear them. Engage!” Huang Xiao laughed heartily, speaking astonishing words.

“May I know what advantage the General is referring to?” those below exchanged glances, noticing the doubt in each other’s eyes.

“It’s me!” Huang Xiao stated resoundingly, his tone resolute, intense confidence surging through him.

An hour and a half later.

“My Tie Family’s elite forces have been utterly defeated! We clearly had more than double their military strength!” Tie Ao stared at the battlefield with wide eyes, feeling a soul-deep sense of powerlessness and defeat.

Fighting with Huang Xiao felt like not just fighting a fleet, but wrestling with Heaven and Earth, with nature itself!

Human effort has limits, while nature is boundless.

Huang Xiao’s command of the warships had reached an artistic level. The entire process was like a leaping antelope, unhindered and free from any fixed rules. The entire fleet moved as if it were alive, forming an inseparable whole.

Half an hour ago, the Tie Family’s military strength was still more than double ours. An hour ago, the Tie Family’s military strength was equal to the Shu Family’s. Now, an hour and a half later, the Shu Family’s remaining military strength is double that of the Tie Family’s, and the gap is still widening!

What an art of naval command!

“If I could recruit this person, why would I fear the Shu Family? Why would my ambition be unfulfilled?” Tie Ao felt so frustrated he wanted to vomit blood thinking that he had actively given up and missed out on such a great talent.

He finally realized the unparalleled correctness of the ‘ingenious strategy’ in the brocade pouch. But he had made a mistake, a grave mistake.

However, Huang Xiao had now become the Shu Family’s chief general, and all three of his ingenious strategy brocade pouches had been used up.

“What should I do?” Tie Ao asked himself. He had never imagined such a situation. Before even reaching the Shu Family’s waters, his highly anticipated main fleet had been crippled.

His plans included many attack strategies targeting a landing on Shu Island. Now, they were all worthless scraps of paper.

The cruel and ruthless reality struck him like a thunderclap, leaving him in an unbearable situation!
