Master of Monster Synthesis-Chapter 63: Extremely High Beauty and Exceptional Intelligence
Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Extremely High Beauty and Exceptional Intelligence
"What?"
Feeling the overwhelming energy from the Space Gate, Liu Chao was stunned, a sense of foreboding filling his heart.
But with the situation as it was, he could only increase his Star Power output, causing the countless vines to accelerate further, determined to capture Qin Shou.
"Buzz!"
At the same time, Qin Shou, holding the Flame Saber, lightly tapped the "Slash" character in the Space Gate. The turbulent flame energy within the gate burst out violently, converging entirely onto the blade of the Flame Saber.
"Boom!"
Engulfed by surging energy, the blade of the Flame Saber glowed like red-hot iron, emanating a terrifying fiery energy.
Qin Shou’s hands gripping the hilt trembled uncontrollably under the ferocious surge of energy.
An Earth Core Energy Crystal — this was the utmost limit of what Qin Shou could manage.
"Sealing Demon Slash!"
Gritting his teeth, Qin Shou let out a frenzied shout and swung the Flame Saber backward. The contained flame energy transformed into a ten-meter-long crescent-shaped fiery blade energy, roaring as it met the sea of vines head-on.
"Boom!!"
Wind howled and cranes screeched; the nearby air seemed faintly distorted.
The fiery blade energy collided with the verdant vines, and with a deafening crash, the vine sea was torn open, revealing a charred gap.
"Impossible..."
The ferocious blade energy stormed forth toward Liu Chao, who was struck with panic, his face instantly turning deathly pale.
In a flash, he leapt from the Green Demon’s shoulder, but the fiery blade energy had already landed squarely on the Green Demon.
"Boom!!"
"Aoo!!"
The fiery blade energy erupted, sending waves of terrifying shock; the colossal Green Demon could only shriek briefly before being blown apart.
The aftermath of the explosion surged as scorching waves, carrying the airborne Liu Chao hundreds of meters away.
"Thud!"
After forming a perfect arc, Liu Chao landed flat on his back with all limbs splayed.
"Cough, cough..."
At that moment, Liu Chao spat out black smoke, his face blackened and his hair scorched and curled. His clothes were burnt into tatters.
Though in disarray, the aftermath of the blast was mild. Having recently advanced to the Vajra Realm, he only sustained minor injuries — he wasn’t entirely powerless.
Yet, Liu Chao was neither proficient at combat nor had the resolve to fight to the death.
Facing Qin Shou’s sudden fury, he was utterly terrified.
At that moment, all Liu Chao harbored was the urge to flee.
Without hesitation, he unleashed his Star Power and bolted in the opposite direction.
Meanwhile, Qin Shou, having executed the Sealing Demon Slash, found his hands trembling uncontrollably from the wild energy, with massive depletion of both vitality and Star Power.
Harnessing power comparable to the Vajra Realm — without full focus, it would easily... go astray.
Pale-faced, Qin Shou saw Liu Chao escaping. Without hesitation, he released Rein Jia’er to pursue him.
Rein Jia’er had a decent sense of smell and speed—not difficult to track Liu Chao.
Once Qin Shou recovered, taking Liu Chao down would merely cost one... one Earth Core Energy Crystal.
At the same time, witnessing Liu Chao of the Vajra Realm flee, despair filled the hearts of two mechanical masters present.
They hoped to activate the escape pods but had missed the crucial timing.
One after the other, they were killed by two monsters breaking into their cockpits.
Qin Shou witnessed this calmly, retracting his beasts before collecting the three damaged mecha into his System Space.
Turning back, he saw Fang Bao and the others staring in disbelief. Qin Shou casually exited his armor’s fusion state and approached Fang Bao.
"Three mechas sorted, but we’ve now got a Vajra Realm Beast Ability Master and Beast Tamer. How should this debt be settled?" he said.
Fang Bao snapped out of it, exclaiming, "Qin Shou, I never imagined your Battle Armor was equipped with an Energy Burst System."
"Don’t change the subject. A Vajra Realm cultivator showed up — this time, you owe me ten... no, fifteen Earth Core Energy Crystals, or it won’t justify me risking my life to save yours!"
Qin Shou rolled his eyes and added, "Did you even realize I nearly got killed by backlash from that strike?
If luck hadn’t been on my side, you’d truly have gotten me killed this time!"
Seeing Qin Shou looking so drained, Fang Bao felt a twinge of guilt.
Utilizing force beyond one’s tolerance threshold often led to trouble.
Mild cases resulted in force feedback, leaving one crippled; severe cases meant instant death.
This was why the Federation strictly banned ordinary mecha or armor from being outfitted with Energy Burst Systems.
In lethal encounters, the survival odds in an escape pod were far greater.
If even an escape pod could not guarantee survival, then such systems would be of little use.
As far as he knew, the Energy Burst System could increase strength by only one Star Level.
Qin Shou, a Newborn Nine Stars Beast Tamer, unleashing near-Vajra-Realm power was plausible.
Fang Bao was unaware that Qin Shou was just a Newborn Seven Stars Beast Tamer, inherently weak in combat, relying only on strong beasts.
"Qin Shou, this was my fault for getting you all into trouble. Rest assured, I’ll deliver 15 Earth Core Energy Crystals to you when we return."
Hearing Fang Bao’s generosity, Qin Shou’s mouth involuntarily twitched. How careless.
...
Under the night sky.
At the foot of a desolate stone mountain, Qin Shou approached Big Big Wolf nearby.
"Big Big Wolf, it’s your turn this time."
Big Big Wolf raised its head and laughed, "Dear master, worry not. A task requiring immense charm and extraordinary wit can only be completed by none other than me."
Qin Shou: "..."
Soon, Big Big Wolf disappeared from sight.
Qin Shou tapped his communicator, showing the forest occupied by the Two-headed Dog. There, on a hollow tree trunk thick enough for several people to encircle, familiar green vines sprawled.
Barbs on the vines secreted drops of milky liquid, whose peculiar scent perfectly concealed the human presence within the trunk.
Hiding inside the tree trunk... was Liu Chao!
Exposed by Fang Bao, Liu Chao wouldn’t dare show his face in West City anytime soon.
Assassinating the Fengshen Group’s West City director’s son wasn’t a trivial matter.
With Liu Chao’s rank, he wouldn’t act so audaciously without someone pulling the strings.
Moreover, the two shared only a passing acquaintance — no grievances, no reason for murder.
Whatever the reason, Qin Shou hadn’t asked Fang Bao and didn’t care.
Liu Chao’s communicator had been damaged in combat. As long as he was silenced, the mastermind couldn’t cause trouble for Qin Shou.
The trouble was Liu Chao hiding in the Two-headed Dog’s territory, making the situation rather tricky.
To resolve Liu Chao, they would inevitably provoke the Horror Level Dog King.
And the only match for the Dog King nearby was the Sha Po Wolf Group occupying this stone mountain.
With the Skeleton Giant Lizard retreating, the Sha Po Wolf Group had returned to their original territory.
Sending Big Big Wolf back to the Sha Po Wolf Group was meant to lure out the Killing Wolf King, buying time for Qin Shou to deal with Liu Chao.
Soon, a thunderous wolf howl erupted atop the stone mountain. The massive Killing Wolf King leaped several strides down the mountain, soaring over Qin Shou’s head in a gust of wind, heading straight for the Two-headed Dog’s territory.
Qin Shou faintly saw the Killing Wolf King clutching Big Big Wolf’s scruff, with Big Big Wolf wearing an expression of utter smugness.
It was anyone’s guess what Big Big Wolf had said to enrage the Killing Wolf King this much.
