Chapter 156: Like Master, Like Beast
Crack! Crack!
With just two steps, the endless sound of bone fractures echoed through the air. This rhinoceros-sized snow tyrannosaur had its tendons and bones completely shattered, struggling and roaring in agony on the ice sheet. It desperately tried to get back up, but no matter what it did, it remained utterly unable to rise.
The Thunder-Union Monarch Beast simply trampled upon the snow tyrannosaur, simultaneously demonstrating its dominance toward the distant female dragon, waiting for her to fly back and seek revenge.
Unexpectedly, however, the female dragon in the distance showed no intention of flying back. Instead, she watched from afar, her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and grief, but above all, sheer terror.
"Haha!"
Jin Sheng suddenly burst into laughter again. "I heard that Dong Zhe usually cherishes these two snow tyrannosaurs dearly. Who would have thought that it is precisely these two snow tyrannosaurs making a laughingstock of him! The male is trampled to death, yet the female doesn't even dare to avenge him. Truly, like master, like beast!"
"Hehe!"
On the ice, Chu Feng, who had been gliding about like a butterfly weaving through flowers, also chuckled and said to Dong Zhe opposite him, "Dong Zhe, after my Thunder-Union Monarch Beast brutally slaughters your snow tyrannosaurs, if it then joins this battlefield, I'm sure this fight will become even more spectacular!"
Panic surged deep within Dong Zhe's heart.
He was naturally well aware of the feral nature of these male and female snow tyrannosaurs; they had always advanced and retreated together, living and dying as one. Yet right now, the male had been brutally killed by the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast, and the female didn't even dare to step forward to avenge her mate. This could only indicate one thing.
It meant the snow tyrannosaurs were simply no match for the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast. The female was terrified of it to the very core of her bloodline and instincts, which was why she appeared so cowardly, utterly humiliating Dong Zhe, her master.
And once the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast finished off the remaining female and joined the fray, Dong Zhe knew all too well that he would die a horrific death!
Roar!
Seeing that the female dragon refused to come over for a fight, the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast flew into a towering rage. Its two front claws grabbed the rhinoceros-sized carcass of the male dragon, and with a gentle flick, tossed it twenty zhang high into the air.
Boom!
When the male dragon's corpse fell back down, it had already been smashed into a pile of pulpy flesh, and a massive fissure split the hard ice sheet.
The next instant, the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast leaped lightly, and with two or three bounds, pounced directly in front of the female dragon. Its left and right fleshy wings whipped together with two thunderous claps, blasting out a pair of violent wind pillars.
Awoo!
The female dragon didn't dare to engage the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast in combat at all. Startled, she tried to beat her wings and fly away, but half her body was ensnared by the two wind pillars. No sooner had she lifted off the ground than she was slammed heavily back down onto the ice.
Boom!
The Thunder-Union Monarch Beast's heavy foot instantly came down, crushing the female dragon to death on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, both the male and female snow tyrannosaurs had been cleanly and efficiently dispatched by the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast.
Roar!
Standing triumphantly over the corpse of the female dragon, the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast let out an excited, triumphant howl.
Witnessing this scene, the group of men and women nearby were left utterly dumbfounded. Even Heng Mei wore a look of profound shock, while the several male clan stewards stared with jaws hanging open.
They had seen ferocious wild beasts before, but never one as violently terrifying as this. Could this even be considered a wild beast?
One had to know that although the performance of these two snow tyrannosaurs had been utterly disgraceful just now, among the vast multitude of wild beasts, snow tyrannosaurs truly stood at the very pinnacle. Whether in terms of loyalty to their master or combat prowess, they ranked near the very top.
Yet facing the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast, these two snow tyrannosaurs were like worthless trash, utterly devoid of any combat capability whatsoever.
"Brother Feng's Thunder-Union Monarch Beast possesses a matchless, tyrannical aura. To both martial artists and wild beasts alike, it is simply an invincible existence! Could it be that this Thunder-Union Monarch Beast isn't a wild beast at all, but a mysterious mystic beast?"
Bai Naizhao observed the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast before him, frowning slightly as he muttered to himself.
Roar! Roar!
At that moment, the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast turned its gaze toward the battling Chu Feng and let out a series of low roars, its lightning-infused jaws continuously opening and closing as if trying to communicate something.
"Hehe, is it coming to claim credit from me?"
Utilizing his Gale Footsteps, Chu Feng dashed over to the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast in a flash, patted it gently on the head, and then quickly darted away again.
Roar! Roar!
The Thunder-Union Monarch Beast remained standing there with its mouth open, emitting low growls, clearly trying to convey something to Chu Feng.
Although Chu Feng had spent a considerable amount of time with the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast, their communication had always relied on hand gestures. Now, busy fighting Dong Zhe, where would he find the time to analyze what it was trying to say?
Yu Zui suddenly stepped forward, walking right up to the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast. Parting her cherry lips, she actually began to speak directly to the beast.
However, the tone of Yu Zui's voice was extremely peculiar—rising and falling, her speech speeding up and slowing down just like someone sleepwalking, making it completely incomprehensible to anyone else.
Roar! Roar!
The Thunder-Union Monarch Beast let out two excited howls, appearing to communicate quite happily with Yu Zui.
Yu Zui then extended her slender, jade-like hand, and the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast stretched out its tongue to give it a gentle lick, displaying an exceptionally affectionate demeanor toward her.
Even in the midst of battle, Chu Feng kept his eyes on all directions and his ears attuned to every sound. Seeing this scene, he was greatly startled and called out, "Sister Yu Zui, you aren't trying to poach my Thunder-Union Monarch Beast, are you? What is it trying to do?"
"Brother Chu Feng, I can communicate with it! It wants... it wants to eat the carcasses of these two snow tyrannosaurs, and is asking if you, its master, will allow it!"
Yu Zui said with a smile, "It also said that ever since it started following you, you've never fed it anything. Whenever you get any good meat, you just keep it for your own enjoyment, never treating it like a creature that eats meat at all!"
"Uh, did something like that happen? Well, my apologies then! Tell it that it can eat the meat of these two snow tyrannosaurs to its heart's content. Just make sure it eats cleanly and doesn't even need to spit out the bones!"
Chu Feng replied readily, feeling a twinge of guilt in his heart toward the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast. It was true that he had never fed it anything; clearly, it must have been exceptionally starved by now.
Hearing this, Heng Mei couldn't help but look somewhat astonished, shaking her head as she remarked, "Truly, like master, like beast! Both master and beast are thoroughly unhinged!"
A fresh flurry of bizarre musical notes tumbled from Yu Zui's lips, and with a resounding roar, the Thunder-Union Monarch Beast immediately set to work enjoying the flesh of the two snow tyrannosaurs.
"Oh, Thunder-Union Monarch Beast, eat up quickly! Once you're done with the meat of these two dragons, eating the meat of their master will taste even better!" Jin Sheng shouted aloud from the side.
Dong Zhe felt his heart leap into his throat with apprehension.
In this brief span of time, Dong Zhe had already swallowed four consecutive bottles of Qi-Recovery Powder to ensure that the internal Qi within his Dantian remained absolutely abundant, allowing the defensive effects of his Force-Unification Technique to reach their absolute peak.
The medicine known as Qi-Recovery Powder yielded wonderful results when taken occasionally. However, swallowing three or four bottles back-to-back not only drastically diminished its Qi-replenishing efficacy, but also dealt severe damage to a martial artist's Dantian—effectively overdrafting the regenerative capacity of the Dantian's energy vortex.
Despite all this, however, Dong Zhe still found himself unable to defeat Chu Feng.
