Chapter 1855: Chapter 1852: Golden Headed Eagle
“Whoosh!”
The Golden Headed Eagle once again flapped its wings, attacking with a sky-covering assault.
“Everyone, be careful. This is a fifth-level demon beast, the Golden Headed Eagle. Do not let it catch you; otherwise, it will definitely be a matter of life and death!”
Jianyang, well-versed and experienced, instantly recognized the origin of the beast in front of them and urgently reminded everyone.
Zuo Qian, Zhao Qinglan, and Ye Yu, the three girls, immediately cast their respective spells, launching a joint attack against the Golden Headed Eagle, hoping to prevent its assault.
However, their spells were like scratching an itch through boots for the fifth-level demon beast Golden Headed Eagle, completely ineffective in causing any substantial damage.
At this critical moment, Li Chen suddenly clenched his fist and launched a powerful punch at the Golden Headed Eagle’s sword-like claws.
“Clang!”
Iron Fist and the sharp claw collided in mid-air, bursting into a dazzling spark of energy.
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly thwarted, the massive body of the Golden Headed Eagle lost balance, crashing down like a kite with a broken string.
Seeing this, Li Chen urgently shouted, “Quick, trap this beast!”
Following Li Chen’s reminder, Zuo Qian, Zhao Qinglan, and Ye Yu each exhibited their divine skills, trapping the Golden Headed Eagle.
“Swish!”
Jianyang’s long sword unsheathed, sweeping through the air with a magnificent arc of light, slashing toward the Golden Headed Eagle.
The slash landed on the Golden Headed Eagle’s wing, leaving a gory sword scar.
The Golden Headed Eagle cried out in pain, suddenly spreading its wings and shaking off Zuo Qian, Zhao Qinglan, and Ye Yu’s spell control.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
Ye Yu, Zuo Qian, and Zhao Qinglan were simultaneously blasted away.
The Golden Headed Eagle, infuriated, prepared to retaliate against these despicable humans, intending to tear them to shreds.
At this critical moment, Li Chen deftly executed a flip in mid-air and drew his sword.
“Tzeng-Tzeng!”
The sound of the sword rang like a dragon’s roar, slashing towards the Golden Headed Eagle’s neck.
“Swish!”
With a single stroke, the Golden Headed Eagle’s head was severed, blood gushing like a waterfall into the sky.
Following that, the headless Golden Headed Eagle flapped its wings twice before crashing down due to its final instinct.
Precisely, it fell on a rocky surface, its body shattered into pieces, blood and flesh scattered everywhere.
Chubby Hong Tao, seeing that this beast nearly harmed Ye Yu, ignored the pain in his body and readied his sword to finish off the Golden Headed Eagle.
But as he struck its leg, he suddenly noticed a steel ring on it.
Seeing this steel ring, everyone present was momentarily stunned, looking at each other in disbelief.
“Look, there seem to be words on this steel ring!”
Zhao Qinglan, sharp-eyed, pointed at the words on the steel ring and said.
Ye Yu stepped forward and read the words aloud.
“Baili Youu!”
Upon hearing the name Baili Youu, Zuo Qian’s expression involuntarily changed.
Zhao Qinglan, sensing the change in Zuo Qian’s expression, cautiously asked, “Sister Zuo Qian, do you know this Baili Youu?”
Zuo Qian nodded, responding, “Hmm, he is the third son of General Baili of the Tianlong Empire!”
Hearing Zuo Qian’s words, everyone present had a slight change in expression.
The Tianlong Empire is one of the most prominent empires.
General Baili in the empire holds an extremely high status, second to one and superior to thousands.
Baili Youu is a vindictive dandy, and now that his beast pet has been killed, he certainly won’t let it go quietly.
“This beast attacked us on its own, it’s purely courting death, and no one else is to blame. Even if General Baili were to come personally, we are still on the right!”
Ye Yu commented naively while looking at the corpse of the Golden Headed Eagle.
Jianyang, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, “This place is not suitable for staying long, we should leave first!”
Hearing his words, everyone else agreed it made sense.
Although united, they did not fear General Baili of the Tianlong Empire either.
But indeed, it was better to avoid unnecessary trouble.
However, before they could leave, they saw a troop of riders stirring up clouds of dust as they charged towards them.
“Did you think you could just leave after killing my Golden Headed Eagle?”
With an angry voice accompanying, dozens of cavalry rode in.
The leader was an imperious young man in brocade.
Recognizing the newcomers, Zuo Qian’s expression subtly changed, warning, “He is Baili Youu!”
Baili Youu, upon seeing Zuo Qian, also showed slight surprise.
“Oh my, Miss Zuo Qian, we really are fated to meet in such a place!”
Zuo Qian’s eyebrows arched sharply, and her eyes widened as she shouted, “Baili Youu, who’s fated with you!”
After speaking, she was about to turn and leave.
However, her path was blocked by the exasperated Baili Youu.
“Miss Zuo Qian, you’ve killed my beast pet, the Golden Headed Eagle. Aren’t you going to give me an explanation?”
Before Zuo Qian could respond, Ye Yu retorted angrily, “Your beast attacked us first, it deserved to die!”
Hearing Ye Yu, Baili Youu’s gaze fell on her.
Seeing Ye Yu was a petite and delicate beauty, a wave of emotion stirred in his heart.
“Oh, not bad, not bad. This fiery temper is just to my taste!”
Then, his gaze landed on Zhao Qinglan, and his heart felt like it was being scratched by a cat.
Never did he expect to encounter three delicate beauties here. It seemed his luck with women was quite abundant!
Baili Youu thought to himself.
Chubby Hong Tao, noticing Baili Youu’s gaze fixed on Ye Yu, worried he might have ill intentions toward Ye Yu, ignored the pain coursing through him and stepped forward boldly.
“What do you want then?”
Baili Youu, with a contemptuous look, replied, “To capture this Golden Headed Eagle, our Baili family deployed over ten thousand soldiers and several hundred experts. We even sacrificed over a hundred lives to capture it, and now you’ve killed it. You better compensate me with two hundred thousand spirit stones!”
Hearing Baili Youu’s extortionate demand for two hundred thousand spirit stones, everyone’s face involuntarily changed.
Zuo Qian glared at Baili Youu and furiously said, “Baili Youu, you’re deliberately extorting us!”
Baili Youu, with a rogue demeanor, cheerfully replied, “Think as you will, but if you don’t compensate me with these two hundred thousand spirit stones today, none of you are leaving!”
With that, he waved at his subordinates.
The group of experts under his command understood his gesture, immediately spurring their horses, encircling Li Chen, Zuo Qian, and the others.
Li Chen, Jianyang, Zuo Qian, Ye Yu, Hong Tao, and Zhao Qinglan then all drew their weapons, vigilantly observing the surroundings.
Both sides were tense and ready to strike at any moment!
