Chapter 261 - 159: Su Ping Attacked! A Thin Line Between Life and Death! _2

This was a giant ape, as tall as a man. Its black and gray, steel-hard arms were even thicker than an adult man’s waist. This alone was enough to reveal the immense power they contained!

"Who are you!?"

However, it was quite clear that at this moment, neither the steel-armed ape nor its owner would answer that question.

The ground seemed to tremble. As the steel-armed ape moved, it was like a tank charging toward Su Ping!

Fortunately, Su Ping had also noticed that the steel-armed ape, though undoubtedly a mature adult, was also at the Commander Level. Its Level, however, was likely between Commander First Stage and Commander Third Stage.

Moreover, it was clear that this assassin’s actual strength was quite average. Aside from this steel-armed ape, his main combat Pet Beast, he didn’t summon any other Pet Beasts to deliver a fatal blow to Su Ping.

This undoubtedly gave Su Ping a chance to breathe.

And... an opportunity to counter-kill!

The little Paperman looked at the steel-armed ape—burly yet surprisingly fast—and almost without thinking, its face instantly changed to the familiar ’A’ shape.

Previously, Su Ping had often criticized the little fellow’s taste. But at this moment, truly seeing this face, he felt an indescribable sense of security.

However, without a second thought, another flash of light ignited. Xiao Qing, who hadn’t appeared for a long time, also emerged.

When Su Ping had previously broken through to Elite Sixth Rank, Xiao Qing’s strength had also naturally ascended by another rank. Although it couldn’t keep up with Qian Yi—the little Paperman who had completed its evolution and reached Elite Ninth Order—Xiao Qing had now reached Elite Fourth Rank.

Moreover, with its hard-to-defend-against Poison Type Attribute, even at a lower Level, it could sometimes play a crucial role. And right now, it did.

Xiao Qing, almost immediately understanding the situation, let out a low Wolf Howl. Purple and green vines materialized out of thin air. While they only briefly hindered the steel-armed ape, they still managed to leave several shallow, superficial wounds beneath its fur!

Under Su Ping’s command, Xiao Qing swiftly reacted. It suddenly fixed its emerald-green pupils on the man in the black tactical jacket.

The man seemed to realize something too. He sneered disdainfully, then actually let out an inhuman roar as his muscles bulged, and his frame suddenly became extremely robust!

The Beast Tamer’s special Talent—’Strength Sharing’! This Talent allowed the Pet Beast’s power and stamina to be added to the Beast Tamer. Simultaneously, the Beast Tamer’s own practiced physical strength and power could be reflected back onto the Pet Beast. It was a quite decent and practical Talent, suitable for Beast Tamers who lifted weights and for power or stamina-type Pet Beasts. The activation of this Talent could grant the Beast Tamer combat strength not inferior to that of a Pet Beast for a short time!

Xiao Qing had just lunged when the Beast Tamer sent it flying with a single punch. Fortunately, after a brief pause, Xiao Qing got back up.

The next moment, a giant flower bloomed in the middle of the area. Countless intertwining vines densely formed a wall of concentrated toxic gas.

But Su Ping paid no heed to this, not even to Qian Yi’s battle. Instead, he quickly took out his cell phone and dialed a number. It was none other than Dong Muyun.

The call was answered instantly. Dong Muyun’s side of the call was noisy; she was clearly at some kind of banquet.

When Dong Muyun answered Su Ping’s call, her eyes held a charming smile. However, it vanished completely the instant the call connected.

"I’ve been attacked. I’m now about ten kilometers west of Lingxi River Station." Su Ping’s words had barely registered before he abruptly ended the call.

Unimaginable terror and fury flashed in Dong Muyun’s eyes. Almost without thinking, before any of the surrounding company executives could react, Yunning instantly enveloped her entire body. To everyone’s bewilderment, a jet of flame blasted out from a shattered window, soaring into the sky.

Su Ping let out a long breath, trying his best to calm his racing heart.

Now, time was on his side. So, he didn’t need to hurry anymore.

Moreover, from what he could see, the situation seemed to be temporarily stable. Although that Beast Tamer’s strength was considerable, breaking through Xiao Qing’s toxic gas defense line would be quite difficult.

And most importantly, Qian Yi was holding its own! Yes, even when facing a Commander Level steel-armed ape, Qian Yi, at this very moment, had not only blocked it but was even gaining the upper hand!

So what if there was a gap of an entire Great Realm?

For the first time, Su Ping witnessed Qian Yi’s combat power. After evolving into the Paper Immortal Swordsman, although Qian Yi hadn’t acquired any particularly damaging Skills, both its mutated Sword Heart and the Flying Fairy effect were absolutely absurd among Commander Level Pet Beast abilities! Besides, even without acquiring damaging Skills, the two Swordsmanship styles Qian Yi had created itself were inherently its most suitable combat techniques!

BOOM! BOOM!

Continuous thunderous sounds erupted.

This not only prevented the steel-armed ape from even touching the little Paperman but also left several new, charred sword marks on its body, in addition to the earlier superficial wounds from the Poison Vine Strangulation. Undoubtedly, the damage from these sword marks was vastly more severe than that from Xiao Qing’s poison vines!
