Essence blood, like a blood-colored pearl, floated in the air, slowly spinning and emitting a dazzling blood light.
Ji Ruxue recited incantations silently, with the spiritual cloud within her body surging madly, and the aura of the fifth tier swept out in all directions.
In the next moment, the essence blood hovering in front of her suddenly erupted with brilliant light and quickly transformed in the air into a mysterious and complex blood-red symbol composed of many blood threads, slowly rotating and emitting an eerie blood light.
The Thunderous Roar, suppressed under Er Pang, felt a sudden sense of a life-and-death crisis at the core, and its struggle became more intense instantly.
With its life hanging by a thread, the Thunderous Roar seemed to muster all its strength, frantically struggling to stand up.
Within a few breaths, it even had the momentum to lift the equally large Er Pang entirely.
Ji Ruxue narrowed her eyes, first using Time Control to freeze the Thunderous Roar for a moment, then a surge of telekinesis gushed from her mind, like strands of solid ropes constantly entwining around the Thunderous Roar.
Wrapped in telekinesis, the Thunderous Roarâs body stiffened immediately, as the invisible telekinesis placed considerable binding on it, impeding its actions and causing it to struggle wildly.
Soon, the telekinesis ropes strangling the Thunderous Roarâs body and limbs reached their limit under its struggle, unable to bear the strain, and started to snap.
Upon seeing this, under Lu Chuanâs control, the nearby fourth-tier Corpse Puppets, including Tyrant One, rushed over instantly to help restrain the Thunderous Roarâs limbs.
The Corpse Puppets, including Tyrant One, locked onto the Thunderous Roarâs thick limbs tightly, with several fourth-tier Corpse Puppets clinging to each of its bear-like legs.
No matter how fiercely the Thunderous Roar struggled, it was hard to break free from the binding, being heavily suppressed, its entire body pinned to the ground, unable to move, roaring angrily from its mouth.
Seeing the Thunderous Roar completely subdued, Ji Ruxue knew the time was ripe, her face turned serious, and her thoughts moved slightly.
Instantly, the complex blood talisman flaunting in front of Ji Ruxue vibrated gently, emitting a faint blood light, slowly drifting towards the Thunderous Roarâs forehead as if blown by the wind.
"Roar! Roar~"
The Thunderous Roar, pressed by the group of Corpse Puppets, couldnât even lift its head, but upon seeing the drifting blood talisman, its eyes revealed a look of terror, letting out a series of frightened roars.
At the same time, to prevent the blood talisman from approaching, the heavily injured Thunderous Roar struggled desperately, wanting to retreat backward.
Seeing this scene, Lu Chuan narrowed his eyes, knowing this was a critical moment, and to prevent any mishaps, he immediately controlled the Corpse Puppets to suppress the Thunderous Roar fully, ensuring it remained motionless until the contract was completed.
Luckily, despite its strength, the Thunderous Roar was just fifth-tier, and in its heavily injured state, it was utterly impossible to escape Er Pang and the Corpse Puppetsâ restraint.
So after struggling for a minute, the Thunderous Roar seemed to lose its vigor, retreating obediently, no longer struggling.
The blood-red symbol floating slowly was already nearing the Thunderous Roarâs forehead.
In the distant convoy, Zhao Lin and the Evolvers all wore puzzled expressions seeing this scene.
What on earth did this Corpse King want to do?
"Captain, why isnât this Corpse King quickly finishing off the Thunderous Roar, whatâs it dawdling for?
This symbol... is it the Corpse Kingâs ability? How did it suddenly materialize a blood-red symbol, what the hell is it planning to do to the Thunderous Roar?"
At this moment, an Evolver member of the Jianghai Squad was quite baffled by Ji Ruxueâs actions, immediately looking to their captain and eagerly asking.
The whole affair was too bizarre; moments ago, the Thunderous Roar and the Corpse King were fighting to the death, yet now, they strangely stopped.
And furthermore, the Corpse King manipulated a group of evolved zombies to suppress the Thunderous Roar and conjured a blood talisman. Clearly, it intended to do something to the Thunderous Roar, with obvious malicious intentions.
"Although we donât know exactly what this Corpse King is plotting, the fact remains that the Thunderous Roar has been defeated, and itâs now like fish on the chopping board, its life in the Corpse Kingâs hands.
Next, once the Corpse King decides to kill, the Thunderous Roar will undoubtedly perish! Our mission..." Yuan Yi spoke gravely.
Though Yuan Yi didnât finish, everyone present turned gloomy.
Judging from the current situation, anyone with sense could tell their mission was bound to fail.
They initially hoped the Thunderous Roar and the Corpse King would exhaust each other, but the reality was a massive shock.
The Thunderous Roar was effortlessly beaten by the Corpse King, with its life hanging by a thread.
"Though the mission has failed, it solved the issue that needed resolution, and the beastly Thunderous Roarâs death seemed almost certain."
Zhang Honggang, watching the suppressed Thunderous Roar on the screen, suddenly spoke then glanced around, cautioning, "However, the reason the Corpse King didnât finish off the Thunderous Roar immediately is very likely due to a scheme."
And the Corpse King, being at odds with us humans, with deep-seated hatred, whatever it plans, we must interrupt and stop the Corpse Kingâs actions!"
"No way, even the Thunderous Roar isnât its match, can we manage it?
Right now, the gap between us and the Corpse King is too wide; going there is a futile sacrifice!"
Hearing this, Zhao Lin was shocked and immediately shook her head to stop them.
She had a vague suspicion about Ji Ruxueâs motives and wouldnât let these people disturb Little Qiqi.
Upon hearing Ji Ruxueâs words, many enthusiastic war-worrior attendees seemed doused with cold water, instantly calming down.
Indeed, the Corpse King even finished off the Thunderous Roar, so what chance did they stand?
Elsewhere, on a nearby high hill observing carefully, Huang Xuan understood Ji Ruxueâs moves were to tame the Thunderous Roar and couldnât hold back anymore.
Soon, Huang Xuan hurriedly arrived beside the convoy.
"Whoâs there?"
Seeing Huang Xuan in a black robe and a mask, an Evolver on the convoyâs periphery cried out in surprise.
Others reacted then, getting out of their vehicles, rushing toward him.
"Who are you?" Yuan Yi frowned.
"Never mind who I am, donât you know the Corpse King is currently subduing the Thunderous Roar? If it gains control over the Thunderous Roar, the danger faced by Jiang Provinceâs humans will escalate sharply."
Disguising his voice as hoarse, Huang Xuan coldly addressed Zhao Lin and others.
