Beast Taming: I Can Evolve Indefinitely

Chapter 493: Chapter 488: Alpha, Are You Planning to Cultivate Immortality?

Upon hearing Bai Qi’s response, Gu Shan took action first. The Scale Armor Beast erected an Earth Wall for defense, while Yang Zhuling and Yin Yuling imbued the other beasts with additional statuses. The process was seamless, flowing like clouds and water.

“Not bad, strengthening oneself before the battle is the most advantageous strategy for the upcoming combat,” Bai Tongchen nodded satisfactorily. However, he turned to Bai Qi’s side and found that the Seven Sword Riders had directly marched towards Gu Shan.

“They’re advancing upon arrival? But they’re too slow.”

Surely, knight-like beasts are indeed strong in team battles. There’s even a similar team within the stationed army of the Northern Federation.

This type of team, once they started charging, was undoubtedly destructive. However, Gu Shan had finished the buff, and the optimal time for charging had already passed.

But soon after, Bai Tongchen noticed something strange.

The explosive power of the Seven Swords was way beyond his expectation. In almost an instant, they arrived in front of the Earth Wall, led by the Fire Armor Sword Knight wielding a magma greatsword.

As the Fire Armor Sword Knight swung down his sword, the site where the blade slashed had a violent explosion, and cracks appeared on the Earth Wall of the Scale Armor Beast.

Fire Armor Sword Knight – Explosion Sword.

Having absorbed the Elemental Core of Fire Tyrant, the attack of the Fire Armor Sword Knight was just as bold and explosive as the Fire Tyrant’s.

However, the defense of the ground-treading Scale Armor Beast was not so easily broken. It merely groaned, and the Earth Wall began to recover.

Just then, the Water Armor Sword Rider suddenly rushed up, its tuning fork long sword stabbed into the cracks in the Earth Wall, and waves emerged from thin air and hit the Earth Wall.

Plop, plop, plop.

Just as the Earth Wall was heating from the attack of the Explosion Sword, it was suddenly hit with this icy seawater, leading to cracks all over.

The Water Armor Sword Rider seized the advantage, tapped the hilt of the tuning-fork long sword, and a wave of sound spread along the Earth Wall.

In a flash, the Earth Wall collapsed.

Yet, what awaited the Seven Sword Riders was not the Scale Armor Beast, but the Four Elemental Beasts who had been fully charged.

As the earliest contracted beasts of Gu Shan, the Four Elemental Beasts corresponded to the four elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. Their fusion speed was the fastest.

At this distance, Seven Swords had no choice but to resist.

However, at this moment, the Seven Sword Riders suddenly adjusted their formation, pushing the Light Armor Sword Rider to the forefront.

The Light Armor Sword Rider, facing the combined impact of the Four Elemental Beasts, had no sign of fear. He held up his thrusting sword, clearly intending to directly confront the assault of the Four Elemental Beasts.

“Is that, a Holy Light Series Undead?” Bai Yuxiao finally noticed that there was a Holy Light Series Undead in Bai Qi’s team and couldn’t help exclaiming. Bai Tongchen next to him was also somewhat surprised.

“Despite being an apprentice of the elder brother, why is Bai Qi so fond of messing around with the Undead?”

On the other side, the thrusting sword faced the head-on attack of the Four Elemental Beasts. Instead of disintegrating as expected, the Elemental Shock was split in the middle and refracted around in the manner of a light ray.

Light Armor Sword Rider – Prismatic Sword.

As the only Mythical Species among the Seven Swords, the Light Armor Sword Rider, though the last one to join, had the strongest battle power beyond dispute.

As the power carrier of the Dawn Angel, the Light Armor Sword Rider also inherited an extraordinary piercing power that can penetrate the heavens and the earth.

Seeing that the Elemental Shock of the Four Elemental Beasts was resolved by the Seven Sword Riders, Gu Shan was also somewhat surprised. However, unlike in the past, he did not panic but continued to calmly issue commands.

If energy shock doesn’t work, switch to physical attacks.

In almost an instant, the combat position of the Four Elemental Beasts shifted. The Liu Jin Cat suddenly moved to the forefront of the team, absorbing the energy of the other three Elementals into its body.

In an instant, the body size of the Liu Jin Cat, originally relatively small, suddenly surged, astonishingly transforming into a tiger and pouncing at the Light Armor Sword Rider, its sharp claws swinging.

The Seven Swords did not hesitate though. The recently upgraded Golden Armor Sword Rider stepped out from behind the Light Armor Sword Rider, dual-wielding the Chewing Sword to block the paw strike of the Liu Jin Cat.

However, the attack strength of the Liu Jin Cat was clearly higher than that of the Chewing Sword itself, and it easily left claw marks on it. Yet, the Golden Armor Sword Rider remained unmoved, continuing to swing his sword in a frenzy of attack.

“You smart boy, can you actually absorb the metallic hairs from the Liu Jin Cat to repair yourself?” Bai Tongchen blinked in surprise when he saw this, and Bai Yuxiao was even more shocked.

“I knew it; there’s not a single normal beast in Bai Qi’s team.”

“Stop talking nonsense and think about why your beasts are so mediocre!” Bai Tongchen threw a irritable punch at Bai Yuxiao, then continued to watch the match.

Gu Shan also realized where the object was wrong and immediately tried to change his tactics. But he discovered that the Wood Armor Sword Rider had somehow escaped from the group and was releasing countless green Poisonous Mists around them.

“Poisoning? You picked the wrong opponent!”

Gu Shan’s eyes tightened, and his head Yang Zhuling immediately released a dazzling light, starting to purify the Poisonous Mist.

The speed, however, was quite slow.

Wood Armor Sword Rider – Poison Demon Sword.

Because it absorbed the toxins produced by the Evil Energy Snake Statue, the toxins released by the Wood Armor Sword Rider also carried a trace of evil power, and ordinary purification measures could not easily eliminate it.

Seeing this, Gu Shan frowned, the positions of the four spirits changed again, and the energy was transferred back to the Green Vine Python. Rapidly growing green vines began to absorb the toxins with full force.

However, at that moment, a slender figure emerged from the shadow behind the Green Vine Python, quickly wrapped around it like a bolt of lightning, trapping it tightly. The separated chain blades even scarred the Green Vine Python countless times.

Dark Armor Knight – Deceptive Chain Sword.

The sudden appearance of the Dark Armor Knight caught Gu Shan off guard once again, but he maintained the formation, instantly withdrew the energy from the Green Vine Python, and transferred it to the Volcano Bird.

In an instant, a raging fire engulfed the surrounding land within tens of meters, and the Dark Armor Knight disappeared into the shadow simultaneously.

In the first round, the seven sword riders remained unscathed, while Gu Shan looked rather embarrassed.

“Dad, is Gu Shan underperforming?”

Seeing Gu Shan in this state, Bai Yuxiao couldn’t help but ask.

“Gu Shan is not underperforming, in fact, you could say his response was quite correct. It’s just that Bai Qi’s seven knight pets could coordinate better.”

Bai Tongchen shook his head. Aside from the Elite Level Earth Elemental Undead, which hadn’t accomplished much, the coordination of the other six sword riders was near perfect. They had chosen the most suitable way to fight.

If Gu Shan continued like this, he might indeed lose.

On the other side, Gu Shan also realized where the problem was and summoned back his pets to regroup.

However, this time, the Seven Sword Riders did not give them a chance to launch a second round of attacks.

Taking the initiative to attack was none other than Alpha’s favorite battle strategy.

The fastest Light Armor Sword Rider led the attack, its Prism Sword shining forth with countless dazzling holy lights, scattering like a heavenly rain of light towards Gu Shan’s Eight Pets.

The Dark Armor Rider, on the other hand, took advantage of the dark areas under the Prism Sword’s light and darted around like a ghost. Its chain sword, akin to a venomous snake, made the pets wary.

On the other side, Golden Armor Sword Rider, Fire Armor Sword Rider, and Water Armor Sword Rider charged towards the Gu Shan’s side in a triangular formation. The strong attack from the three sword riders was no less inferior to the combined attack of the four spirits.

As for the Wood Armor Sword Rider, it cautiously hid among the soil and stones stirred up by the Earth Armor Swordsman, slowly releasing its toxins.

Seeing this, Gu Shan gritted his teeth, abandoned his proud ego, and summoned the Flame-winged Snake too.

With the Eight Pets in position, Gu Shan’s offensive power surged instantly. They abandoned the formation and each found their respective opponent.

The Scale Armor Beast, Volcano Bird, and Great Waterfall Turtle teamed up against the fire, gold, and water armored sword riders.

The Yin Ghost Spirit faced the Dark Armor Rider, and Yang Candle Spirit found the Light Armor Sword Rider.

While the Flame-winged Snake, Green Vine Python, and Golden Cat took on the Earth Armor Swordsman and Wood Armor Sword Rider together.

Attacks based on attribute counters were Gu Shan’s forte.

Sure enough, the seven sword riders found it much more challenging to fight against opponents who counter their attributes and carry elemental fusion.

The numerical disadvantage, coupled with the low level of the Earth Armor Rider, exposed the weaknesses of the Seven Sword Riders.

“I still need to level up my Earth Armor as soon as possible~ ”

Bai Qi sighed, contemplating whether to buy some Earth Element materials with special attributes from Yi Xiaowei. Meanwhile, the situation on the battlefield changed again.

Facing the party of Gu Shan, who was slowly taking control, Alpha finally gave his own orders, and the Seven Sword Riders changed their way of action. Speedily, they converged and stood in a specific formation.

Subsequently, apart from the Light Armor Sword Rider, the runes on the remaining six sword riders glowed simultaneously. The dense energy flowed to the ground and slowly outlined the shape of an array.

“This… can’t be another sword formation…”

Bai Qi laughed at the sight, and the change in the seven sword riders was just as he had guessed.

The moment the array was formed, the six sword riders unleashed their energy simultaneously, which brightened the array. Their originally tall bodies rapidly transformed into six differently styled long swords, surrounding the Light Armor Sword Rider.

Then, with a wave of the Prism Sword in the hand of the Light Armor Sword Rider, a myriad of lightsabers appeared in the sky. The six swords mixed in, protecting the Light Armor Sword Rider, rushing towards Gu Shan.

Confronted with the full force of the Seven Sword Riders, Gu Shan didn’t hesitate either. The Eight Pets each returned to their positions, releasing their own energy, which, under Gu Shan’s guidance, coalesced into a ball of chaotic energy.

However, before Gu Shan could completely condense the energy, the Seven Sword riders changed again. The six swords of varying colors gradually fused into a seven-colored rapier under the guidance of the holy light from the Light Armor Sword Rider and directly pierced through Gu Shan’s chaotic attack.

“Goodness, Alpha, your rune formations, no, this should be called a sword formation. You are playing them better and better.”

Bai Qi praised the sight, asking, “But the Light Armor Sword Rider just arrived. How did you manage to arrange the sword formation so quickly?”

*Crack crack*.

(Boss, the original position of the Light Armor Sword Rider was mine.)

Bai Qi was speechless. First, it was the Four Poles Sword Formation, and then this Six-Unison Sword Formation. Alpha, are you planning to ascend to immortality~?
