Chapter 873: Do You Think I Would Tell You That I Am A Spy?

“It’s you?” When the Toad King looked at Yue Yang, he was slightly shocked before he burst into laughter, “I didn’t forget you, I didn’t forget you! Not only did I not forget you, but I also designed a game for you specially. If it weren’t for your beast’s reward after obtaining the first kill, why should I give the Sun Gem by hand? If it weren’t for you, why would I need to obtain help from external forces? Although your appearance disrupted the plans I made thousands and hundreds of years ago, it also made the two Palace Masters, Ran Feng and Wan Mo, feel that there was an unstable factor. Hence, they took the initiative to stay and clean up the Beast Valley, so I guess it can be said that thanks to your arrival’s blessing, I can enter the Central Palace more smoothly…”

“Should I give a word of congratulations?” Yue Yang didn’t seem to see the Deputy Palace Master’s Garrison who was one with the Giant Bear and the two Palace Elders who were one with the Golden Ape, slowly edging towards him.

“Of course I know that your beast is an elemental body and a Holy Beast with high intelligence. It would definitely be difficult to kill her, that goes without saying. So, I especially prepared a big meal for her,” The Toad King sneered repet.i.tively. With a wave of his hand, almost a hundred beasts under his command quickly formed an encirclement. A faithful confidant even took out some type of ‘Black Scepter’ and inserted it on the ground to form a particularly strange black energy field.

In this energy field, everything seems to have slowed down.

Even the sound of laughter became intermittent.

Yue Yang didn’t need to look at it to know that this was the ‘Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array,’ one of the ten famous Battle Rune Arrays in the Heaven Realm. It was also one of the killing moves used by the Central Palace’s army to launch an attack.

Unless the hidden energy core of the Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array is destroyed, the people in the field will not be able to leave.

In other words, it was necessary to kill the person who has the core of the Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array in order to successfully break the formation. Yue Yang looked at the Toad King. It was the only existence in the field that was not under the field’s influence, so the core would naturally be on his body. If you use the Heavens Eyes Transverse skill, Yue Yang could see that there was a gleaming gem in the belly of the Toad King that connected with the entire battle formation.

To break the formation, the Toad King must be killed.

In the Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array that slowed down movement by almost ten times, it was really a rather difficult problem to kill the Toad King, who experienced no harmful effects on his body.

The Deputy Palace Master’s Garrison who was one with the Giant Bear and the two Palace Elders who were one with the Golden Ape did not remain unaffected either, but the extent was relatively minor. They all had Black Scepters or the Wind Stopping Crystal. The influence of the battle formation on them was estimated to be no more than 10% to 20%. No matter how far away, the loyal confidants in the encirclement circle also have the crystals on their bodies. They were slightly more affected than the Deputy Palace Master’s Garrison and the two Elders. But, they were only 30% affected. However, Yue Yang and the Reaper Mantis’s action power have been reduced by at least ten times.

“Use the combination of the Frost Demon Sword and the Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array. If you still can’t kill her, then this Lord still has one treasure that has never been shown to others, and that is this… the Energy-Absorbing Bracelet!” The Toad King laughed wildly as he put on a glittering bracelet onto his human-like wrist.

Energy-Absorbing Bracelet, also called the Conversion Bracelet.

It could draw the enemy’s elemental energy and slowly transform it into another type of energy.

During the conversion process, the enemy will not be able to use elemental energy, and even some elemental beasts that have been converted to opposite attributes will die on the spot.

If the fire elemental energy of a fire guard is absorbed and converted into water element or ice element, then the fire guard will definitely automatically explode and die without the need to fight. On the contrary, if the ice element of an ice puppet is transformed into a fire element, it will die as well.

For some Battle-type Beasts that do not rely on elemental power, the Energy-Absorbing Bracelet was not very useful.

After all, its conversion speed was too slow.

However, for pure elemental beasts, this holy Energy-Absorbing Bracelet was the most terrifying existence in the world!

In the Heaven Realm, the Energy-Absorbing Bracelet is a treasure that remains the talk of the town. Most of the time, it was also called the ‘Element Disaster Bracelet’ by the warriors of the Heaven Realm!

After rebirth, the Reaper Mantis, who transformed into an elemental body, was going to have a hard time facing this bracelet. If there was no restriction of the Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array, she could still fight or retreat. Now that they were trapped in the Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array, encountering the Energy-Absorbing Bracelet, and even shown a sharp and devastating Frost Demon Sword, Yue Yang is indeed falling into a tough spot under the Toad King’s mockery.

“Do you know why I didn’t come to the Stone Pus.h.i.+ng Field to prevent you from getting the Law’s reward? Hahaha, because the more rewards your Holy Beast gets, the more energy I get after the first kill— this is the best cultivation method. When the level, strength and wisdom have reached a certain level, no matter how large the number is. Even if I kill a hundred, no, even if I kill a thousand beasts, the gains obtained will not be enough to compare to yours. d.a.m.n you little Holy Beast, do you know how long I have waited for this moment? Do you know how much effort I spent to set up today’s perfect game? How well-intentioned I am. If I put in this much effort into things and G.o.d didn’t retur me with heaps and benefits, would there still be anything reasonable in this world?”

The Toad King patted his belly and let out a creepy laugh.

Yue Yang frowned.

He scanned his surroundings, seemingly looking for a perfect time to escape

However, the Toad King was very calm as he shook his ugly fingers, “Don’t dream anymore, in the Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array, you will never succeed in escaping unless you kill me. I can intercept you at any time as you are the ones who live a life slower than a snail! Open your eyes and look around— can you see clearly? All my people! The Human-Faced Tiger and the Poisonous Queen Bee you once worked with are dead and the Eagle King fled without a trace. The position of the Three Kings had been filled in by me. Those who refused to surrender have long died under my sword. Smart young man, everyone praises how smart you are, but now no matter how smart you are, what can you do? You who are intelligent, what do you have to fight me?”

Yue Yang snorted coldly, “What if I said that I do have something??”

The Toad King laughed wildly.

He laughed wildly and almost died of laughter as if he had heard the best joke in the world, “Hahahahahahahaha, I’m going to laugh till my death! What else do you have, let me see! I know you want to use Pandora’s Box, and yes, I know that you have it, but that’s useless. Just now before leaving, Ran Feng and Wan Mo secretly sprinkled the ‘Forbidden Spirit Sand’ in this s.p.a.ce. Although this is a time-limited treasure, in the next ten minutes, you and your beast will not be able to use any sort of treasure. Young man, don’t ever think that you are the only intelligent person in this world. I’m not stupid either, so I will never let you take out Pandora’s Box, let alone break it stupidly!”

Yue Yang was angry and he shouted, “What? I’m going to kill you!”

The Toad King laughed triumphantly, “Anger. Instead of wasting your breath on so much anger, let’s address it as a verbal struggle of the weak. Come and kill me, I’ll wait here. Come on, I’m waiting to see how you would kill me! Do you want a knife? Or should I crane my neck? Hahaha!”

Just when the Toad King smiled proudly, a person who shouldn’t be able to make a move, made a move.

The giant shadow was like a mountain.

The fear was so deadly that it could destroy the power of a large mountain as he slammed hard on the Toad King’s head.

With just one blow, the Toad King’s head was blasted into dross, and the huge toad eyes splashed out to thousands of meters away, reaching the edge of the Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array.

Even the toughest long tongue of the Toad had also been broken into several sections.

The Toad King, who had lost his head, slowly collapsed under the eyes of everyone,before he finally hit the ground with a bang, “You?”

The two Palace Elders who were one with the Golden Ape were shocked to find that the one who shot and killed the Toad King turned out to be none other than the Deputy Palace Master’s Garrison who was one with the Giant Bear beast.

How could the Deputy Palace Master’s Garrison kill the Toad King? What is going on?

The Garrison who had become a Giant Bear remained silent but jumped high.

A pair of giant palms tried to target and hit the two Golden Ape companions.

“Are you crazy?” The two Palace Elders were about to jump back to avoid them,but they were shocked to discover that there was a difference behind them. From the back, there was a shadow respectively as they clung onto each other, but they didn’t know what skill control is. For a while, the two Palace Elders who had turned into Golden Apes realized that they were unable to move their whole bodies and could only watch the giant palms arrive at their faces.

Boom!

The heads of the two Golden Apes were smashed into states that resembled rotten watermelons by the Garrison, who merged with the Giant Bear.

In a few seconds, the Garrison who had integrated with the beast Giant Bear and was covered with the blood of his companions, strode in front of Yue Yang in huge strides. He kneeled down in the most pious and respectful posture in the world, before kowtowing three times in a row.

When he stood up again, it was to spit on the Toad King’s body with a disdainful face, “Idiot. Do you think that I would casually tell you that I am actually an undercover agent?”

The audience was shocked.

Everyone was stunned.

In the sky, dark clouds gathered again at some unknown point of the day.

This was not a harbinger of the coming of the Black Sun, but the punishment of the transformation of the beast after three beast deaths in the Law of Beast Valley.

When Yue Yang picked up the Energy-Absorption Bracelet and the Frost Demon Sword on the ground in a leisurely manner, a purple flash of thunder from the Law struck down and hit the Toad King’s corpse. It turned out that the evil man who was one with the toad was still experiencing the stun of the guard’s heavy palm. Hence, he wasn’t able to escape at all, and could only take the strike of lightning directly in that posture!

Of course, even if he managed to escape, he would not be able to escape the punishment of the Law.

From now on, the Toad King will truly become a Toad.

If he dies, he will die forever as there will be no possibility of being resurrected again.

“Scarlet Rose!”

The Reaper Mantis took the Frost Demon Sword thrown away by Yue Yang, and immediately froze the Toad King who was still in his weak phase. At the same time, she opened a hollow blood hole with a crossed rose pattern in his stomach.

The Toad King was so scared that he desperately wanted to escape.

Even under a layer of ice with the speed as slow as a tortoise, he just wanted to leave everything behind and make a run for it.

A fist hit the King Toad’s face severely, directly denting half of King Toad’s head. The dizzy Toad King saw an angry and full-bodied Human-Faced Tiger standing in front of him. He was terrified to the point where gooseb.u.mps formed all over his skin.

Wasn’t the Human-Faced Tiger dead?

Is this an illusion before death? Or is it an aftereffect of the Law’s punishment?

The Toad King had no time to think as he suddenly felt that a needle was stinging into the spine of his back. The Toad opened his eyes forcefully, and when he saw it, he was inexplicably frightened. This time he saw the supposedly dead Poisonous Queen Bee with his own eyes. She was stinging him!

How is this possible? Impossible, both the Bee and the Tiger are dead. As a beast, no matter who it is, it would be impossible to be resurrected.

“I am a resident like you, but I have never died even once. All of my previous deaths were an illusion to begin with!” The Poisonous Queen bee sneered.

“On the contrary, I am a real beast,” The Human-Faced Tiger said angrily.

“However, as long as there is water, I won’t really die. Thank you for killing me with an ice sword, otherwise, I would have truly died!” The Human-Faced Tiger thought for a while and added, “Squid must have never told you about this secret, as that would be because it had absolutely no idea that I have a final trick up my sleeve.”

“Smart Toad King, you are not the only person who will set up traps. Although you are smart, you should know that others are not fools!” Yue Yang smiled slightly. His smile was as bright as the sun under the gaze of the many dumbfounded beasts, but everyone knew that somehow, this kid’s smile was more terrifying than the Devil’s? Yue Yang ignored how others looked at him as he slowly explained to the Toad King, “Although I didn’t know that the Human-Faced Tiger’s life-saving trick was ‘Water Recovery,’ his skills and att.i.tude were all within my calculations. In addition, it did not prevent me from using the Stone Pus.h.i.+ng Field as a location of planning. Finally, I will tell you the good news. In fact, there are many ways to open Pandora’s box. For example, the composition of your Wind Stopping Battle Rune Array can be one of the triggers. So, take a breather to enjoy the curse of the Divine Power of Calamity; I think you will like it!”

“…” The Toad King could no longer speak as his eyes were filled with a lifeless expression.

[TL note]:

Honestly, wow. Beast Valley has taken up a lot of chapters. We’re gonna be moving on (I hope), so yes, it better be 5th Valley soon, we’re only halfway hahaha. At any rate, that was just me ranting because there were too many unidentified-gendered beasts and I had to type ‘it’ all the time.

Enjoy the chapter though! Lots of love from Translator and Proofreader-san!
