Lu En stood firmly in front of Lu Yuan. Although his figure was not particularly tall, at this moment he was like a thick city wall, giving Lu Yuan a great sense of security.
However.
Zhong Bei, who was confronting Lu En, suddenly burst into laughter.
"You old codger, you dare threaten me? You don't actually think you can beat me, do you?!"
Zhong Bei didn't take Lu En seriously at all.
Just as Lu En said, the cultivation resources in the Myriad Realms Heaven are far greater than those in the Spirit Peace Continent. Even if both sides are divine beast-level beast tamers, their strengths are worlds apart!
"I gave you a chance to live, but since you didn't cherish it, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
"Aerial Giant Lizard!"
"roar!"
As Zhong Bei shouted, the hovering giant lizard finally made a move, diving directly down towards the arena below.
As the enormous creature suddenly swooped down from the sky, everyone present was startled and tried to flee.
However, the speed of the giant lizard was too fast, and the group could not avoid it completely. Several members of the Jiang family were even crushed into bloody foam by the beast's impact!
Faced with this bloody and brutal scene, Rune frowned slightly.
"The Jiang family's indiscriminate killing of innocent people is truly an eye-opener!"
As he spoke.
Rune raised his right hand and spoke softly.
Absolute zero!
The phantom of an ice palace appeared behind Rune, and in an instant, the air in the room suddenly became unusually dry and cold.
? !
Even Lu Yuan couldn't help but show a surprised expression when he saw such a magnificent scene before him.
The entire Beast Taming Arena instantly transformed into a vast expanse of ice and snow, and the unstoppable giant lizard was transformed into a massive ice sculpture, frozen solid in mid-air.
Is this the power of Rune?
Lu Yuan subconsciously swallowed.
Although he had witnessed Rune's attack last night, it was only against a Phantom God-level assassin. Rune must not have used his full strength then, and the scene was far less shocking than what he was seeing now.
And now.
Looking at the Beast Taming Arena, which had been completely transformed into a world of ice and snow, Lu Yuan once again refreshed his understanding of Rune's strength.
Looking at the shocked crowd around him, Rune remained calm.
"Don't rush, this is just the beginning!"
As they were speaking, the giant lizard, which had been frozen solid, broke through the frost's seal and began to move once more.
No one expected the giant lizard to break through the ice so quickly, and everyone stared wide-eyed.
Lu En turned to look at Lu Yuan beside him.
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head.
"Their flying giant lizard is a divine-level beast tamer, how could it be dealt with so easily?"
Upon hearing this, Rune stroked his beard and laughed, looking up at the ground.
"You're surprisingly calm, kid!"
Seeing the two chatting and laughing, Zhong Bei's eyes became even more ferocious, and he directly issued an attack command to the aerial giant lizard.
"Soaring Giant Lizard, use Sky Pierce!"
"roar!"
Freed from its restraints, the giant lizard suddenly opened its mouth, and an invisible air cannon shot out from its mouth.
Lu Yuan glanced at Lu En in front of him, his expression somewhat worried.
Breaking through the void has no attributes.
That was an extreme and violent physical impact that erupted after the airflow was compressed to an extreme degree!
Just by watching from the side, Lu Yuan could already feel the exaggerated energy of the Soaring Giant Lizard breaking through the air!
Without a doubt, without Rune, this Void Breaker would have been enough to kill at least half of the experts present!
"As people get older, they should stretch their muscles and bones occasionally, so that their bones won't be rusty when they need to use them."
As Lu En watched the approaching projectile hurtling through the air, he remained as relaxed as ever, even having the leisure to joke with Lu Yuan.
"Frosty Mirror".
The castle's illusory form reappeared behind Rune, while a massive ice mirror appeared in front of him.
This ice mirror looks very similar to the one that helped Lu Yuan block Jiang Tianyi's attack, but it's more ornate and larger.
The next moment.
The invisible air cannon struck the surface of the ice mirror, the violent impact creating a loud bang.
The ice mirror began to crack inch by inch the moment it came into contact with the air-piercing barrier.
However.
Rune's Frost Mirror was like tempered glass; although many cracks had appeared on its surface, they remained frozen together, showing no sign of completely breaking apart.
"A palace? A spirit-type tamed beast? I never expected to see such a tamed beast in such a small place!"
Although it was only for a moment, Zhong Bei had already clearly seen the palace phantom behind Rune.
Zhong Bei couldn't help but be somewhat surprised.
The Ling'an Continent has truly revealed too many unexpected things.
Spirit-type beasts are extremely rare, so much so that calling them legendary wouldn't be an exaggeration. At least, Zhong Bei has never seen many people with such beasts in all his years in the Myriad Realms Heaven.
The reason why beast taming is called beast taming is that it is at least "beast".
From any perspective, Rune's Frost Palace cannot be called a "beast".
In fact.
The definition of beast taming is not so narrow. In fact, any being with intelligence and soul can form a contract with a beast tamer.
Therefore, besides ordinary beasts, there are other things in this world that also possess souls and intelligence.
Frost Palace is such a place.
In fact, the existence of the Frost Palace is closely related to the mythical beasts that have disappeared from history.
Frost Palace was originally just an ordinary palace. If there was anything unusual about it, it was probably only because it was not a dwelling place for people.
The master of Frost Palace is a powerful ice-attribute divine beast. Naturally, Frost Palace was not built by humans, but rather constructed by this divine beast according to its own preferences and aesthetics.
Throughout the long years of its existence, the divine beast resided in the Frost Palace it had built, gradually imbuing the palace with its aura.
The Frost Palace was originally built by this divine beast, and now, due to their daily interaction, it has developed a certain degree of spirituality.
So if we really have to categorize it, Frost Palace can be considered a descendant of this divine beast.
At this moment, the divine beasts of Ling'an Continent have completely disappeared, but the Frost Palace has been preserved due to its special attributes and has even signed a contract with Rune, which can be considered a stroke of luck for both of them.
Due to the special nature of the Frost Palace, Rune is generally unable to summon its true form.
Even if it is summoned, it is not very meaningful, since Frost Palace is just a palace and cannot help Rune fight.
However, for the same reason, the connection between Rune and Frost Palace is far stronger than that between other beast tamers. The spirit of Frost Palace can directly possess Rune and fight alongside him, giving him the most powerful assistance.
"Soaring Giant Lizard, charge up and smash that mirror!"
Unlike the Frost Palace, the Sky Giant Lizard is the other extreme.
It almost completely abandoned the use of its own elemental attributes, and instead developed an extremely powerful physical body.
The aerial monitor lizard is over fifty meters long and has a wingspan of over one hundred meters; its entire body is probably about half the size of a joint entrance examination hall.
However.
Such a colossal object was able to remain stably suspended in the high sky without relying on any special energy.
One can only imagine how terrifying the physical strength required to support such a large body floating in the air must be.
Just like now, even with just a normal movement, the Void Giant Lizard was enough to smash those Illusion God level experts who didn't have time to retreat into dust.
As for the Sky-Piercing Giant Lizard's ultimate move, it involves using its extremely powerful strength to compress air to its limit before launching it.
Upon hearing Jiang Tianyi's command, the Sky Giant Lizard charged directly towards Rune.
Although Rune's Frost Mirror possessed extremely powerful elemental and physical defense, it was merely a slightly tough cardboard against the Sky Giant Lizard's formidable physique. It broke through the Frost Mirror's defenses with just two impacts.
"Truly worthy of being a god-level beast tamer!"
Rune took a step back and put a hand on Lu Yuan's shoulder.
In the next instant, he appeared with Lu Yuan several hundred meters away.
"roar!"
The Sky Giant Lizard's paw missed its target, and it roared angrily. The ground where Rune and Lu Yuan had just been standing was completely shattered by the Sky Giant Lizard's giant paw. Its power was several levels stronger than the earthquake caused by the Tyrant Bear's full-force attack.
"Teleportation? A spatial ability?!"
"What exactly is your attribute as a beast tamer?"
Zhong Bei frowned.
at this time.
A strange sense of unease arose in his heart.
The operation was fraught with difficulties from the very beginning.
The Jiang family assassins who were given priority to scout the way died silently without leaving any information.
When their main force arrived, they thought they could easily defeat Lu Yuan, but several of them were killed in battle.
In contrast, Lu Yuan is still alive and kicking, while the Jiang family has already paid the price of at least ten Illusion God-level experts' lives for Jiang Xiujie.
Now that he has personally taken action, he thought he could easily defeat Lu Yuan, but unexpectedly, a god-level expert intervened to protect him.
The Jiang family really suffered a huge loss in this operation!
The Jiang family has paid too high a price for Lu Yuan.
If Lu Yuan is not captured, even if he returns to the Jiang family, the family head and other elders will not let him off easily!
They are now in a predicament where they can't back down.
The so-called sunk cost.
For the Jiang family, the death of Jiang Xiujie was originally insignificant.
They sent people to take Lu Yuan's life simply because they could not bear the thought of their own people being killed in the Ling'an Continent and were unwilling to give up Lu Yuan's secret ability to cultivate divine beasts.
However, I didn't expect it.
What should have been a simple matter in their eyes turned out to be something that the Jiang family couldn't accomplish even with so many assassins they sent. All the news disappeared without a trace.
This was unacceptable to the Jiang family.
He was full of confidence when he volunteered to go to war.
But now, the uneasy premonition in my heart is growing stronger.
at the same time.
Lu En, who was standing in front of Lu Yuan, spoke softly.
"I have heard of the name of the Sky Giant Lizard, so naturally I dare not confront it head-on. It just so happens that I have learned some movement techniques."
As the principal of Dragon Academy, Rune was no nobody.
Even ordinary families can obtain this low-level cultivation technique for protection, so how could he possibly have never come into contact with it?
Body movement techniques.
While he wasn't as generous as Lu Yuan in auctioning off his resources weekly, his resources weren't so scarce that he couldn't cultivate.
As a fellow god-level powerhouse, although he appeared calm and collected, it was impossible for him to truly disregard Jiang Tianyi.
As for the attributes of Frost Palace, they are undoubtedly solely ice-based.
He wasn't practicing any teleportation technique, but rather ordinary movement speed-enhancing techniques.
The ability to perform teleportation, which is similar to spatial abilities, is also one of the abilities of the Frost Palace.
Rune, who has signed a contract with Frost Palace, is undoubtedly one of the masters recognized by Frost Palace. He has all the authority of Frost Palace and can quickly move to any corner of Frost Palace.
then.
By combining his own speed-enhancing techniques with the Frost Palace's speed-enhancing authority, Rune appeared to others as if he were teleporting.
In fact.
The movement range is actually limited to the area that the Frost Palace phantom can cover, unlike true spatial teleportation which allows for unrestricted movement.
However, this capability is already quite useful as long as the information is not exposed.
At least for now, Zhong Bei is also having a bit of a headache.
The aerial giant lizard is also very fast, but it can't outrun the Rune that can teleport. No matter how powerful it is, it can't defeat a target that it can't hit.
But it was just a headache.
"Soaring Giant Lizard, use Dragon's Roar!"
"roar!"
Zhong Bei then immediately issued an attack order to the hovering giant lizard.
Then.
Intense high-frequency sound waves emanated from the mouth of the hovering giant lizard, the sound so piercing that everyone present instinctively covered their ears.
Dragon's Roar.
It looks like a sonic attack skill, but in fact, its real power is not the sound, but the vibration caused by the sound.
Rune instantly realized Long Xiao's attack method and quickly lifted Lu Yuan up into the air with one hand.
The next moment.
The arena, which had not suffered large-scale damage even under the battle of numerous god-level beast tamers, suddenly collapsed!
This isn't some skill-based earthquake created by Tyrant Bear using earth elements; it's a real earthquake!
The entire arena collapsed instantly, and many Phantom God-level experts who hadn't had time to take off were swept into the ground and never managed to climb out again.
The roar of the soaring giant lizard directly caused a change in the entire terrain!
"Is this the power of a god-level beast tamer?"
Everyone present was terrified.
With such strength, if the other side wanted to, they could easily raze the entire city to the ground!
Seeing that the earthquake was still spreading, Rune dared not let the aerial giant lizard's attack continue and immediately issued an order.
"A world of ice and snow!"
Snowflakes began to fall slowly from the sky, and the entire earth was instantly frozen.
The tremors of the earth quickly created cracks on the ice, which were then frozen back up in an instant.
