I was terrified! Raising a colossal star beast in the Beast Taming World

Chapter 210 Youyou, save me!

Bao Xiaoxing, the commentator, gripped the microphone tightly, his voice slightly off-key: "Princess Lightning easily broke through the Ten Thousand Swords Formation's defenses! The lightning ball struck Meng Yanqing directly in the chest! This is fatal—"

Then, her words caught in her throat.

After the blinding lightning dissipated, the spot where Meng Yanqing had been standing was now a flying sword suspended in mid-air.

That flying sword looked no different from the other nearly ten thousand flying swords in the Ten Thousand Swords Formation. Its crystal-like blade was covered with sword patterns that shimmered with azure-gold divine light, and the blade still bore the crackling arcs of electricity left after being struck by the lightning ball.

However, a faint handprint was clearly imprinted on its blade.

Those are the handprints of Princess Lightning, Lei Ying.

Meng Yanqing, who should have been reduced to ashes by this attack, now appeared in another part of the sword formation. She was kneeling on one knee, clutching her chest and panting heavily.

The uniform on the chest had been melted through a large hole, revealing charred skin underneath, but the person was still alive.

"You reacted pretty quickly."

Princess Lightning, Lei Ying, hovered gracefully in place, casually flicking her wrist to disperse the remaining arcs of electricity in her hand. She glanced at the flying sword that had taken the fatal blow for Meng Yanqing, clicked her tongue, and her tone was ambiguous, neither mocking nor praising.

Just moments before the lightning ball exploded, Meng Yanqing used a technique.

Beast Tamer Techniques - Human-Pet Switching Positions

Unlike the top-tier beast tamer technique of returning to its sheath, switching positions between human and pet is just a simple trick that anyone can learn.

Using this technology, beast tamers can swap positions with their pets within a small area.

The principle behind it isn't complicated, but in most battles, this technique is somewhat useless—after all, the pet's position is usually more dangerous than the tamer's, and swapping positions is like pushing yourself into a fire pit. Moreover, swapping positions in a small area is meaningless under the enemy's large-scale firepower.

However, for special pets like the Myriad Blades Returning to Ruins Lotus, whose main body can be broken down into nearly ten thousand flying swords, the practicality of this technique is amplified infinitely.

Princess Lightning Lei Ying didn't find anything special about the sword that had just switched places with Meng Yanqing. She only glanced at it casually before confirming that it was just an ordinary flying sword among the ten thousand swords in the sword formation, without any markings or special aura, and no different from the other nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine swords.

This means that Meng Yanqing can swap positions with any of the flying swords in the sword formation.

There are nearly 10,000 escape options.

"Tsk, it's a little more troublesome than I imagined."

Princess Lightning Lei Ying mentally raised Meng Yanqing's rating slightly, then casually tossed the score into a folder in her mind called "Slightly interesting but still not worthy of being my opponent".

At this moment, Meng Yanqing's expression was not good.

She knelt on one knee, her hand trembling slightly as she covered her chest.

The uniform on the chest had been melted into a large, charred hole, with wisps of smoke still rising from the edges.

The lingering burning sensation on her skin caused cold sweat to break out on her forehead, but upon closer inspection, it would be clear that her injuries were not nearly as severe as they appeared—it was just scorched skin with some damage to the surrounding muscle tissue.

One reason she was able to escape death was because she reacted quickly.

But for another reason, she herself felt somewhat fortunate.

The high-concentration lightning ball that Princess Lightning Lei Ying conjured by hand struck precisely the "sheath opening" when she used the Return-to-Sheath technique.

Return to its sheath —

When performing the Return to Sheath technique, a part of the Beastmaster's body transforms into a "sheath opening" to guide the weapon transformed from the pet beast back into the body. This part, having undergone countless refinements through the Return to Sheath technique, possesses hardness, toughness, and resistance far exceeding the normal range of the human body; strictly speaking, it can no longer be considered part of human flesh and blood.

It's tough, resilient, and can withstand a lot of pressure.

It was this special "sheath opening" that neutralized most of the damage the moment the lightning ball exploded, allowing her to escape death.

If the other party had attacked her stomach, she would probably have a huge hole in it by now.

Even so, the electric shock of pain in her chest made her feel numb.

"We can't let her get any closer."

Meng Yanqing gritted her teeth and warned herself in her heart.

She immediately gave the order to make the arrangement of the Ten Thousand Swords Formation even tighter.

The thousands of flying swords that were originally spinning rapidly around the lotus body began to shrink inward, and the gaps between the swords shrank dramatically, from three fingers wide to two fingers wide, and then to one finger wide.

The layers upon layers of sword shadows sealed off the entire space so tightly that it was almost impossible to see inside the sword formation from the outside.

Princess Lightning, Lei Ying, was now completely surrounded by layers upon layers of sword formations in the very center.

The phantom of the main sword on the twelve sword thrones resonated deeply, and twelve distinct yet equally terrifying sword intents locked onto the elemental body suspended in the center from all directions.

The lotus-seed-shaped sword pellet at the heart of the lotus began to emit light at an accelerated rate, each flash causing the surrounding air to distort slightly.

This is a cage.

An airtight cage made up of ten thousand flying swords.

Surrounded by such a sword formation, anyone would probably feel despair.

But Princess Lei Ying showed no sign of panic.

She simply hovered within the sword formation, arms crossed, with pale purple arcs of electricity lazily dancing around her.

Her gaze pierced through the gaps between the layers of flying swords, glancing at Meng Yanqing on the outside, then at the thousands of flying swords surrounding her, and a bored smile even appeared on her lips.

"What a stubborn fool. He knows this trick won't work on me, but he's still obstinate. With that kind of judgment, he'd be dead a thousand times over on the battlefield."

For her, this place was nothing more than a place where she could come and go as she pleased.

There is no difference between a gap three fingers wide and a gap one finger wide.

There is nowhere that can confine her.

In fact, for Princess Lightning Lei Ying, every inch of land in Yue Lan Zhou was like that.

From childhood to adulthood, she could freely enter and leave any place, no matter how strictly guarded or forbidden it was: the forbidden area of ​​the Moon Worship Cult's headquarters, the treasure chamber of the Pet Beast Alliance, or the secret vaults of various families. Those barriers, restrictions, guards, and formations that instilled fear in others were as useless as she was.

For example, she had visited Meng Yanqing's family's underground treasure vault countless times and had purchased goods there several times, until the remaining items were no longer of any use to her before she finally gave up.

Things like peeping at girls taking a bath and eavesdropping on secrets were commonplace for Lei Ying. When she was bored, she would take a drive around Lanzhou to find some amusement.

Over time, and having witnessed many outrageous things, this "privilege" she had grown up with gradually fostered an arrogant personality that looked down on others.

After all, as the freest and most unrestrained person in Yue Lanzhou, she believed that she was entitled to look down on everyone equally.

There are very few people in this world who she would even give a second glance.

Before meeting Xue Youyou, she was already somewhat wary of Manluo, who was among her peers and could curse people from afar.

After all, curses are intangible and formless, so no matter how fast she runs, she can't avoid them. They are a type of attack that doesn't rely on physical contact, which is exactly what she's doomed to face.

As for the others, they are nothing more than her toys, or NPCs in this world.

"Just to announce—"

Princess Lightning Lei Ying's voice came from the sword formation, languid and carrying a condescending, condescending tone.

She crossed her arms, her gaze piercing through the gaps in the myriad swords to land on Meng Yanqing, a playful smile playing on her lips: "Next, I'll launch a lightning-fast, continuous attack on you, unlike before, where I'd pause after a missed strike to let you catch your breath."

A layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out from Meng Yanqing's back.

Unbelievable! She, an ultimate beast tamer, was actually being overwhelmed by a fully-formed pet beast.

Youyou, save me!
