The Venerable Monster Tamer – Chapter 289

### Chapter 10: Full Strength Battle

Bai Shasha took all of this in with her own eyes.

“Sigh…” she sighed, looking utterly despondent.

“It seems there’s only one way to resolve this. A fight! Let me see the Little Tyrant’s strength.” She fixed her gaze on Chu Yun, her eyes exuding immense pressure.

Although she had never experienced love herself, she knew that trying to break apart this “loving couple” with words would be harder than ascending to heaven. Her heart hardened, and she cast aside Jin Bihan’s instructions. She decided to resolve the issue in her own most skilled way, like a swift blade cutting through tangled threads.

“It seems you’re still not giving up. Very well, I’d love to experience your masterful techniques!” Chu Yun readily agreed, his fighting spirit igniting like a raging fire.

He had to display his formidable strength, whether to make her wary or to dispel her suspicions. In any case, he had to go all out in this battle!

“If you win, I have nothing to say. But if you lose, you must agree to one thing for me.” Bai Shasha continued.

“Agreed. However, even if I lose, I will not abandon her,” Chu Yun replied firmly, based on his understanding.

“You will abandon her,” Bai Shasha stated. Unsatisfied with her tone, she added, “You must abandon her!”

Both were decisive individuals. After their agreement, they shot up into the sky, leaving Undying City behind and flying into the depths of the desert.

Thus, a battle, which both would later find hilariously based on a misunderstanding, ignominiously began.

“Little Tyrant, your fame comes from your sabers. Let me first see your saber techniques. Red Moon Saber!” With a *clang*, Bai Shasha drew her blade.

This was a peak Spirit Monster saber, crescent-shaped and blood-red. As it slashed down, saber energy erupted with the force of thunder and lightning, shaking heaven and earth.

Chu Yun drew his Drunken Snow Saber and met the overwhelming power head-on, attacking force with force. In terms of saber techniques, he had reached the realm of perfection and feared nothing!

*Clang, clang, clang…*

In an instant, their sabers clashed countless times, producing thunderous explosions and showers of brilliant sparks.

Fairy Qian Qin, watching from the side, was astonished. In terms of saber skill alone, this female general was no less than Chu Yun, also possessing a perfect level of saber techniques.

The difference was that Chu Yun’s saber techniques were valiant and fearless, wild and unrestrained. The female general’s saber techniques, on the other hand, were exquisite and magnificent, her curved saber dancing like a crimson butterfly among flowers.

“Enriching Dragon Mark!” Unable to gain the upper hand after a prolonged fight, Chu Yun unleashed a killing move.

Dragon roars erupted, shaking the heavens and earth. Surging saber light condensed into a snow-white dragon’s head, its gaping maw poised to swallow its opponent.

“Light of the Crimson Moon!” The Red Moon Saber suddenly shone brighter. In a flurry of slashes, each precisely hitting a vital point, the saber energy of the Great Dragon Mark was annihilated in an instant.

Chu Yun then employed Snow Moon Sky Charge and Snow Fang, followed by the Three Talents Saber of Qimen. Bai Shasha countered each one, neutralizing them perfectly.

“Such a master of the saber! She is Bai Shasha, the Crimson Sea Sand Immortal, commander of the Dunhuang Imperial Guard and ranked 19th on the Hegemon Ranking!” In his previous life, Chu Yun’s level was too low to have witnessed this legendary battlefield general of Dunhuang Country. Now that he recognized her identity, his heart sank.

His strength was merely at the Peculiar Person Ranking level. She was a whole level above him, possessing the combat power of a Tribulation Demon. To win this battle, he would have to replicate his feat against the Mad Confucian General!

But it was impossible; Chu Yun had too few demon swords.

“Perfection in skill is not enough without excellent saber techniques to match. Take this move, Red Moon Illuminates the Sandy Sea!” Bai Shasha attacked with calculated precision, her saber strikes turning the world crimson.

However, in Chu Yun’s eyes, a different scene unfolded.

With a roar, he was plunged into an boundless illusion.

An endless expanse of white sand stretched to the horizon, the night sky devoid of stars, save for a single, alluring crescent moon. It dripped with blood, bizarre and beautiful. It descended from the heavens with the force of a collapsing world, crashing down upon Chu Yun, who was as small as an ant in comparison.

Chu Yun’s pupils contracted. In that instant, a profound sense of powerlessness washed over him. He watched helplessly as he was about to be crushed, unable to do anything.

“My heart is iron, my will is steel!” He bit his tongue, using the sharp pain to break free from the illusion. He looked up to see the Red Moon Saber mere inches from his forehead.

With Swift Grass Shoes on his feet, he retreated rapidly!

“Hehehe, Flying Cloud Gauze!” Bai Shasha’s robes fluttered like clouds, her speed skyrocketing.

As one retreated and the other advanced, the distance between them did not decrease; instead, it narrowed by an inch.

Colorless Rainbow Demon!

Chu Yun’s figure flickered, disappearing from Bai Shasha’s front.

“Spirit Wandering Ruler.” Bai Shasha, calm and collected, summoned a star-blue ruler the size of her palm. She activated the tracking Dao method within, but the Spirit Wandering Ruler spun in place.

“Hmm? Net of Law!” Bai Shasha flicked her wrist, throwing out a net of gold and silver threads. This net, with its peak Spirit Monster cultivation, grew as it met the wind, soon engulfing the sky. It didn’t fall but emitted a strange light, illuminating all directions.

Chu Yun’s Little Zi Zai Formless Art, which he was activating, immediately failed. Almost simultaneously, the Spirit Wandering Ruler reacted, whizzing out like a shooting star, relentlessly striking Chu Yun and forcing him out in a sorry state.

“Lishan Dragon Eye Flower Branch!” While parrying the Spirit Wandering Ruler’s constant stabs with his Drunken Snow Saber, he summoned this peculiar Demonic Plant and swept it repeatedly towards Bai Shasha.

On the flower branch, many Dragon Eye Fruits had already been eaten by Chu Yun, making it sparse. However, as Chu Yun swept it with all his might, various light beams rained down, piercing the air and engulfing Bai Shasha.

“Interesting, Barbarian Lion Flying Shield!”

Sixteen small shields, each the size of a palm, floated in the air, circling Bai Shasha. They defended autonomously, intercepting all the light rays.

Lion’s Roar!

Carved with various lion forms, the sixteen flying shields suddenly vibrated, emitting a powerful sonic attack. It spread out in a fan shape, flattening sand dunes within a hundred-mile radius in an instant.

After the dust settled, Chu Yun stood holding the Azure Sea Tide Aus, with Eight Spirit Monsters orbiting him, his expression extremely grave.

Each to their own specialty, every creature has its counter. This sonic wave attack Dao method had always been obscure and difficult to defend against. He had just summoned all eight Spirit Monsters to share the burden, preventing himself from being dazed.

Eight Trigrams Battle Formation!

As the flute sound began, the eight Spirit Monsters formed an arcane formation. The formation space expanded, immediately encompassing Bai Shasha within.

Chu Yun launched his attack. The Eight Spirit Monsters took turns, cooperating seamlessly. Various Dao methods were unleashed in succession, wave after wave of attacks.

Bai Shasha, wielding the Red Moon Saber, commanding the Spirit Wandering Ruler, enveloped in Flying Cloud Gauze, with the Net of Law obscuring her surroundings, and the sixteen Barbarian Lion Flying Shields forming an integrated offense and defense, displayed seasoned and rich combat experience. She managed to withstand Chu Yun’s relentless, all-encompassing assault.

“What other tricks do you have? Bring them out.” She laughed heartily, like a war goddess, looking down upon the world.

Chu Yun narrowed his eyes, his face grim. He had to admit that she was the strongest enemy he had encountered so far. Bai Shasha’s strength seemed unfathomable. Without even deploying her main Tribulation Demon, she had pushed Chu Yun to such an extent with just five peak Spirit Monsters.

“Torrent of Dao Methods!” Chu Yun pointed his finger, changing tactics and unleashing a torrent of concentrated firepower.

The resplendent glow of Dao methods reflected on Bai Shasha’s face, and a look of seriousness appeared in her eyes for the first time.

“Five Elements Battle Formation!”

She took out a bell and rang it, producing a continuous, crisp sound.

The formation space instantly transformed. On one side was the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation, radiating a magnificent orange light. On the other was the Five Elements Battle Formation, with five colors—black, white, yellow, red, and green—contending for brilliance.

Chu Yun was at the center of the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation, with Sky Fox and the other seven Spirit Monsters, all in human form, surrounding him. Bai Shasha stood at the focal point of the Five Elements Battle Formation, with five Spirit Monsters, both male and female, lined up in front of her.

This battle of formations was already a very high-level combat mode.

Experts at the Hegemon, Marquis, and Emperor levels all possessed Tribulation Demons. To maximize the combat effectiveness of their Tribulation Demons, they would often erect a Battle Formation Space to fight within.

Battle Formation Spaces were typically constructed by Spirit Monsters. The higher the cultivation of the Demonic creatures, the more they conform to the standards of the battle formation, leading to a more stable Battle Formation Space. This would greatly amplify the Demonic creatures’ power, conceal their Demonic energy, and isolate them from the perception of heaven and earth.

Each Tribulation Demon was a calamity for all living things under heaven and earth. Their every move could shatter mountains and overturn seas. Fighting within a Battle Formation Space also prevented battles between Monster Tamers from affecting the land of Xingzhou and its inhabitants.

“Forcing me to use the Five Elements Battle Formation shows your skill. Let me show you the power of a Tribulation Demon. Sand Demon King, come out.”

Bai Shasha gently patted her waist’s Immortal Pouch, and a surge of powerful light erupted. It transformed into a man in the air. His face was pockmarked, his body tall and sturdy, clad in armor, exuding an aura of unparalleled fierceness.

“I will defeat you within three moves, or I lose!” Bai Shasha’s face flushed with confidence. She flicked her wrist, and the bell rang. The Tribulation Demon Sand Demon King immediately boomed and shot towards Chu Yun’s Eight Trigrams Battle Formation.

“Torrent of Dao Methods! Torrent of Dao Methods! Torrent of Dao Methods! Torrent of Dao Methods!” Chu Yun unleashed four consecutive killing moves, forming a magnificent river. The Dao methods were as dazzling as fireworks, but the Sand Demon King cleaved through the waves, relentlessly breaking through.

Roar!

He charged to Chu Yun’s front and threw a punch.

This punch was terrifyingly fierce, possessing the power to destroy heaven and earth. As the fist passed, ripples surged through space. The eight Spirit Monsters bore the brunt of the impact, spitting out blood in unison.

Five Virtues Wheel!

In this moment of crisis, Chu Yun summoned a defensive Demon Soldier to shield himself.

Gold! Wood! Water! Fire! Earth!

The Five Elements converged, the wheel spun, emitting a magnificent sound. The Sand Demon King’s fist struck it, creating earth-shattering explosions like a giant hammer striking a colossal bell.

“Eh? It actually blocked my Tribulation Demon’s first move?” Bai Shasha exclaimed in surprise, looking at the Five Virtues Wheel. “What kind of Demon Soldier is this? It’s clearly a Spirit Monster, yet it blocked a Tribulation Demon’s attack? Such a powerful defensive Demonic creature, why wasn’t it in Chu Yun’s intelligence?”
