Chapter 379 Making a Bigger Fuss! Strong murderous intent! The fiendish being slowly flew up and stood in front of Yan Bingyue in the air with the sword in hand. The Little Skeleton stared at Yan Bingyue with two bloody-red eyes that were completely void of all emotion. In the distance, a girl cried out in sorrow, “No!!” The maid Xiao Ju, surrounded by her battle pets, dashed toward Yan Bingyue. Judging by the astral powers she exhibited, Xiao Ju was a seventh-rank advanced battle pet warrior! But she wasn’t even twenty! The maid was an advanced battle pet warrior. With such abilities, she was more than able to compete with the young masters in some major families! Of course, some of those young masters, while at a lower rank, had more solid foundations. A person’s rank was not the only indicator of strength! Feeling the incoming turbulence of energy from behind, the Little Skeleton turned around, tilted its head, and then waved its blade. Bang!! Aggressive dark energy coursed down the blade that slashed at the eighth-rank battle pet that was at the forefront. The shield of wind in front of the battle pet was cracked and the blade made a deep cut on the pet’s head. Half of the pet’s head was gone. Blood spurted out. Inertia carried what was left of the pet to the ground. Undead Enslaving! The moment the battle pet died on the ground, a puff of dark energy rose from the remaining part of its head. That dark energy seemed to be residue from the cut. As the puff of dark energy rose, the battle pet that should have died jumped up, which caught everyone by surprise. The battle pet dashed at Xiao Ju who was making her way to Yan Bingyue. Caught off guard, Xiao Ju didn’t have enough time to react. Surprise still lingered on her face when a huge hand smashed her into the ground. Bang! The delicate Xiao Ju was crushed into a pile of flesh while the eighth-rank battle pet shouted in rage! The huge hand made the ground cave in! The other battle pets stopped what they were doing with a dull look in their eyes. Yan Bingyue witnessed all that in a daze. Her pupils contracted and she felt her blood had frozen, piercing to the bone! The next second, she cried a sudden and sad-ridden cry! “No!!!” Tears coursed down her cheeks. She thought she had already cried out the last drop of her tears years before. She lived her life in cruel training. She had witnessed the passing of many of her friends during training. She had learned to wipe off her tears and live her life. However, this day... Xiao Ju, her maid, her friend, who stepped out of the training camp with her, someone with whom she would stick together, helping each other in difficulties, had just died under her nose. She had been slapped to death! Yan Bingyue still remembered what the instructor said to them when they were graduating He said to Xiao Ju, “From now on, she will be your master and you her maid. You must protect your master.” He said to Yan Bingyue, “And you, you need to guard your maid with your sword.” Today, Xiao Ju died to protect her but she failed to guard Xiao Ju! “ARRRRRGH!!” Yan Bingyue shouted crazily. She was no longer the gentle and mild girl she had always been. She was a wounded beast. Back at the training camp, no one would treat her like a girl. There, everyone was the same. The only difference was whether you were dead or alive! A profound evil aura seeped out from Yan Bingyue. Her pet’s possession had not ended. On her body, the dark patterns had crept up to her face, like many twisted earthworms, giving her a hideous look. The moment Yan Bingyue was about to lose her mind, the Little Skeleton had turned around after it had finished off Xiao Ju. Two red eyes were fixed on her. The magnificent figure of the Skeleton King was staring at her. The huge shadow was cast over her, sowing terror in the depths of her soul! Deterrence! Yan Bingyue, who was about to lose her wits in a state of craziness came back to her senses. The craziness on her face collapsed. Tears gushed out from her eyes. The boiling blood in her veins cooled down. The coldness ran from her hands and feet to her heart! “Stop it!” Su Ping said, just as the Little Skeleton was about to use its blade to kill her. He had put away some of his anger. “Bring her to me,” he said, emotionlessly. The Little Skeleton turned around and titled its head. The Little Skeleton took a second to think and digest the meaning of Su Ping’s order. Soon, the Little Skeleton understood. It put the blade back in its hipbone and then turned back to see Yan Bingyue. The Little Skeleton unleashed dark energy, which poured out toward her. The energy took the shape of a hand that slapped Yan Bingyue. Yan Bingyue tried to fend off the strike. However, as soon as the dark hand touched her, she shook violently and coughed out blood. After the Little Skeleton hurt Yan Bingyue, the big hand grabbed her. With a glow, Yan Bingyue had been dragged to Su Ping from the place where the ninth-rank battle pet had been cut in half. Looking at Yan Bingyue who was immobilized, Su Ping said calmly, “I will spare your life and wait for your organization to come and save you.” No more tears came out from her eyes. She kept her head low to prevent him from seeing the anger and hatred in her eyes. She would not reveal her hatred to Su Ping at this moment. She had to live! Living was the priority in any case! That was the training she had accepted since she was a kid. Although she was in a desperate state, she would never let go of the slightest chance of surviving. Hatred! Her hatred for Su Ping would never be washed off. But she would not go on and enrage this man because it wouldn’t serve her any purpose, other than bringing about a premature death or some torture. Others might have lost their wits after experiencing such grief and depression. They might have hurled out verbal insults constantly. But she didn’t. That was what made her special. Su Ping looked at her. He was more determined to end her life. A dog that didn’t bark was more dangerous. She had to go! Still, the time wasn’t ripe. He didn’t do what he did purely because of anger and killing intent. Having gone through countless deaths in the cultivation sites, he was able to stay absolutely calm in all circumstances. But calmness didn’t mean that he would stay within reason at all times. He would still lose his temper and show his teeth, but even in that state, his judgment and mind would remain clear. He would still be able to choose the most suitable way. Sparing Yan Bingyue a life was a leverage. The other families clearly knew something about the organization she belonged to. He could go to them to seek that information. He had taken action there and killed three of them in public, just so that he could get enough attention! If he had killed them elsewhere, he would have been able to chop up a corpse and obliterate all traces. Yet, the fact that they died would get out sooner or later. By then, the organization would send someone to investigate in secret. While the investigation took place, the conflicts during the match would surely be noticed. Su Ping was not afraid of any investigation. That being said, he could not allow Su Lingyue and his mom to be the target of any secret investigation. That would be too dangerous! Besides, that would put him at a disadvantage. He would not know when the news of their deaths would spread out or when the investigation would happen, nor the progress or the results. He would rather make a bigger fuss. He was telling everyone that-yes, I killed them! Come and get me if you can! Was he afraid of that? Of course not. Rather, he wished for that to happen! He could overwhelm and kill anyone who stopped by his door. He could remove the root of all future troubles. He would be on the upper hand. After all, that legendary battle pet warrior had almost lost his life in the store. With Joanna, as long as he was inside the range of the store, Su Ping would be fearless! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞 Besides, up until then, no one ever found out about the system. Not even the legendary battle pet warrior who ran away knew about it. Joanna was limited to the store and that was the rule that would give him his advantage. He neglected Yan Bingyue for the moment. He was looking at the battle pets on the stage that had become masterless because of the previous killings. “Go!” Su Ping reached into his chest pocket and took out several middle-rank beast-catching rings. He used advanced beast-catching rings to catch the two pets at the peak of the ninth-rank. Such rings could catch any beast under the legendary rank with certainty! Those middle-rank beast-catching rings had a fifty percent chance of catching ninth-rank beasts! And a 1.25% chance to catch legendary rank beasts! It was certain that Su Ping wasn’t counting on the middle-rank beast catching rings to catch legendary rank beasts. But those rings were perfect for catching those pets on the loose. After all, he started the mess. If those pets were to run away, they could inflict a great deal of casualties if they ran into the audience. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! He threw out the beast-catching rings one by one. Those strange rings again astounded the major families. Soon, the beasts that had been contained by the Inferno Dragon were brought in by the beast-catching rings. Some rings would miss their target but Su Ping would simply use another one. He would frequently get these middle-rank beast-catching rings in the system’s shop and he bought them every time they showed up. He had collected dozens of them, which were more than enough to catch those stray pets. In a few minutes, all those battle pets were collected and the rings flew back to Su Ping’s hands. The huge stage was cleared up, with merely the Inferno Dragon and the Moonfrost Dragon on the stage. Compared to the sheer size of the stage, the two dragons no longer appeared huge.
