This team member was a sixth-order Skunk Demon, an existence not very welcomed among the demon races. The Skunk Demon's most incredible ability was its fart, a gas that caused extreme stimulation to the senses. Once smelled, it instantly irritated one’s nerves, and its unbearably foul odor could make an opponent extremely uncomfortable. Naturally, the more tightly-closed the space, the greater its power.
This Skunk Demon was of the sixth order. While its lineage was not favored in Kali City, it could enter Kali Academy because it was a genius in its clan, with the potential to reach the god level, so a great price was paid for its admission.
The reason why Song Junhou had chosen it as a member of his team was the power of its chemical weapon. The Skunk Demon's fart was not an indiscriminate attack; it could envelop a specific area under its control. Otherwise, someone like Song Junhou would not have been caught dead in the same city as a Skunk Demon, much less in the same team.
Indeed, in actual combat, the Skunk Demon's ability, if used well, made for amazing crowd control. And the cave they were facing right now was naturally the perfect place for it to demonstrate its prowess.
Before long, a series of angry tiger roars echoed from the cave.
Roar roar roar—
Immediately following, a gust of wind blew, and a massive burst of cyan-green light erupted from the cave.
The Winged Tiger, being of wind attribute, naturally tried to blow away the odor of the Skunk Demon with a gust of wind.
The Skunk Demon chuckled, a green light flashing in its eyes. It opened its mouth and inhaled, drawing back in the green gas blown out of the cave by the gust of wind.
Witnessing this scene, Mei Gongzi couldn't help but turn her head away. Though it was not her first time seeing it, she still found it hard to accept these habits of the demon clan, and some of them disgusted her from the bottom of her heart.A vast green-lit beast suddenly rushed out of the cave, letting out an angry roar and accompanied by numerous wind blades slashing outward.
A seventh-order Winged Tiger!
Song Junhou immediately charged forward. He roared at the sky, his golden hair growing longer and his body becoming more imposing. Intense golden flames surged, with the pressure of the golden bloodline directly suppressing the seventh-order Winged Tiger. Behind him, a vast golden lion's shadow faintly appeared, mirroring his movements. He threw a punch, and intense golden light burst forth instantly.
For the past few days, he had been feeling very frustrated. Although Mei Gongzi had never said anything to him, he knew all too well that he had seriously offended her, and that was made doubly obvious by her attitude, even colder than usual. What was more important was that he didn't know how she had dealt with the crisis brought by Wang Yan. He even wondered whether the incident that day had been a test arranged by the siblings.
And now, everything was over; she couldn't look at him the same way again. So, with a sigh in his heart, he exploded in fury as he faced the seventh-order Winged Tiger.
Under the suppression of the golden bloodline, the green light on the angry Winged Tiger instantly dimmed. Although the Winged Tiger's bloodline was objectively not weak, it was still far inferior to the golden bloodline. Moreover, Song Junhou was one order higher in cultivation.
In the next instant, an intense golden light was already surging toward it.
The Winged Tiger had only enough time to activate its Wind Astral before the golden light brutally struck it head-on.
With a loud bang, the seven-meter-long Winged Tiger was sent flying, crashing heavily into the cave wall and letting out a groan of pain as it embedded itself ever so slightly into the rock.
Song Junhou's eyes swirled with golden light like a deity descending from heaven, his intense golden flame growing more substantial. This golden blaze seemed to ignite the fur on the Winged Tiger, rapidly disintegrating the Wind Astral under the scorching golden light.
This demonstrated the might of the golden bloodline.
Each race's golden bloodline excelled in different aspects, and the power of the Golden Lion Clan was the Golden Holy Fire—a power capable of incinerating both energy and soul, and extremely domineering. Once it hit its target, unless that target could completely suppress it by sheer power of higher-order cultivation, it would continue to burn until the target died.
The seventh-order Winged Tiger suffered incredibly from the start, unaware its opponent was from a golden bloodline, and a particularly strong one at that. It could only fully activate its Wind Astral to barely resist the Golden Holy Fire from scorching its body, but this drained a significant amount of its bloodline power. It was suppressed in every possible way.
Just then, accompanied by another roar, a second Winged Tiger charged out. Without needing Song Junhou's order, the Ironback Ape leaped up, holding its metal rod with both hands and striking down from above.
Song Junhou charged forward, his fists joining above his head. The intense golden flame transformed the shadow of the Golden Lion behind him into substance. The next moment, accompanied by a fierce roar, the massive golden lion's shadow descended from the sky, slamming hard into the seventh-order Winged Tiger embedded in the mountain wall.
BOOM!
The Wind Astral shattered, and the Winged Tiger screamed in agony. Its robust body collapsed instantly, and it was from all seven orifices. It was clearly on the brink of death.
Song Junhou opened his mouth and inhaled, drawing back the Golden Holy Fire that was about to scorch the body of the seventh-order Winged Tiger. The fur of the Winged Tiger was quite valuable; burning it would significantly reduce its value.
A seventh-order Winged Tiger was killed in just two strikes under his total effort, prompting loud cheers from his teammates.
At the same time, the Ironback Ape was already gaining the upper hand against another seventh-order Winged Tiger. With its formidable strength and defense, it fought fiercely against the Winged Tiger, aided by the other teammates harassing the tiger from the side. Meanwhile, the Skunk Demon sneaked into the cave.
By the time the second seventh-order Winged Tiger was dealt with outside, the Skunk Demon had already dragged out a fifth-order young tiger that had fainted because of the skunk’s incredibly potent fart. With that, the entire family of Winged Tigers was captured.
The process took only a few minutes, fully showcasing the formidable combat strength of the Kali Academy's Beauty and the Beast team. Well, it was more the Beast part of the team; during the battle, Mei Gongzi did not even need to make a move.
"Clean up the battlefield, prepare to withdraw," Song Junhou commanded. Having swiftly slain the seventh-order Winged Tigers, he vented his pent-up frustrations and felt a resurgence of spirit. His mood lightened; even if Mei Gongzi's impression of him had worsened, he was a high-rank member of a golden bloodline, and she was nothing but a half-blood.
The three Winged Tigers were quickly dealt with and stored in storage bags.
They were now ready to withdraw from the Winged Tiger's habitat, rest for a bit, and make further plans as planned.
But just then, a loud bird call rang out from the sky, accompanied by a gust of wind descending from above.
ROOOAARRR!!!
An angry roar followed.
With a flash of golden light in the sky, a dazzling golden silhouette zipped by incredibly fast. Two streaks of cyan-green light pursued closely behind.
The golden light flying in front came too suddenly, barely recognizable as a large golden bird, with the two blue lights trailing not far behind. They were clearly flying at full speed, yet for some unknown reason, they suddenly paused just as they were about to fly over the Beauty and the Beast team.
This momentary pause seemed to throw them off balance, causing them to plummet from the sky and crash into the forest beside the Beauty and the Beasts team.
"Be careful. Prepare for battle. Formation!" Song Junhou shouted, and the others gathered, maintaining their combat formation.
Mei Gongzi remained at the center, with the Shadow Sparrow Demon circling the perimeter. In the front were Song Junhou and the Ironback Ape, with the Skunk Demon concealed. The seventh-order Cat Demon and Bear Demon flanked Mei Gongzi on either side.
