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

Chapter 213 I've got you!

The chase continues.

No, it was less of a chase and more of a one-sided hunt.

Princess Lightning, Lei Ying, transformed into a relentless bolt of lightning, flashing wildly in every corner of the Myriad Swords Formation. Her speed was so fast that even the air didn't have time to utter a tearing sound, leaving only visible vacuum trails in her wake.

She got serious, albeit a little.

From childhood to adulthood, the number of people who could elicit this kind of attitude from her could be counted on one hand. And Meng Yanqing, a woman she wouldn't even bother to look at before today, managed to squeeze into this list through her ultimate evolution.

But that's about it.

Princess Lightning, Lei Ying, had a cold and focused gaze. Every movement she made was precise to the millimeter, and every attack she made was aimed directly at the vital points.

Her breathing was eerily steady, and her heartbeat didn't even quicken by a fraction despite the intense chase. To her, this level of speed was merely a game that required a slightly more serious approach.

But Meng Yanqing is not.

Meng Yanqing is on the run.

Every change of position felt like dancing on a knife's edge.

Her reactions were already at their limit. There was no room for thought in her brain; all judgment was left to her body's instincts.

The instant you see the lightning flash, switch positions; the instant you switch positions, switch positions again; switch positions again; switch positions again—

can't stop.

To stop is to die.

She could feel Lei Ying's fingertips brushing against the hem of her clothes again and again, and she could feel the burning arcs of electricity searing her skin each time. Once, Lei Ying's palm was less than an inch away from her neck, and she could even see every tiny arc of electricity dancing on the other's fingertips.

Cold sweat soaked her back.

His breathing became rapid and disordered.

My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest. With each beat, it pulled at the wound on my chest that had been burned by the lightning ball, sending waves of tearing pain through me.

pressure.

Unequal pressure.

Princess Lightning, Lei Ying, can make countless mistakes. If she makes a mistake, she simply has to chase and catch again; there's no real loss. But Meng Yanqing only needs to make one mistake—

everything is over.

Meng Yanqing was well aware of this.

Her strength was rapidly depleting. Although each human-pet switch seemed to happen in an instant, the burden on her body was considerable. After hundreds of switches, her legs were starting to feel weak, and each landing felt like stepping on cotton.

Moreover, what's even more fatal is—

She could already feel her reactions slowing down.

If this continues, she will be caught by Lei Ying in less than half a minute because she can't keep up with the reaction.

she knows.

Princess Lightning, Lei Ying, also knew.

"What's wrong? Running out of energy?"

Lei Ying's voice carried a hint of mockery and sarcasm: "Is this all the stamina an ultimate beast tamer has? It seems that even the ultimate form is nothing special."

Meng Yanqing gritted her teeth and did not answer.

She didn't have the strength to answer.

I don't want to answer.

She had only one thought on her mind right now—

What should I do?

Youyou did not make a move.

For nearly two minutes while she was being chased, the Snow Woman remained in that position, motionless, like an observer.

Did Youyou not see it? Or did she simply not want to get involved?

Meng Yanqing didn't know.

All she knew was that if Xue Youyou really didn't intend to take action, then she would have to find a way herself.

But what can we do?

Her strongest technique—Return to Sheath—was completely ineffective against Lei Ying. What she considered a technique so fast it left her opponent unable to react—was as slow as a tortoise crawling in Lei Ying's eyes. She simply couldn't possibly complete the entire Return to Sheath sequence in front of Lei Ying.

The Myriad Swords Formation of the Myriad Blades Returning to the Void Lotus, which was originally thought to be a cage to trap Lei Ying, turned out to be her playground. Those densely packed flying swords and those impenetrable sword nets were completely useless in front of Lei Ying.

What else can we do?

Meng Yanqing's brain was working at lightning speed.

In fact, she had imagined this scenario while meditating last night.

I just didn't expect the situation to be even worse than I imagined.

In her deductions, she had already devised a plan to deal with Lei Ying.

However, plans can't keep up with changes. Currently, she's entangled with Lei Ying and can't properly execute this pre-planned strategy.

Meng Yanqing narrowly avoided Lei Ying's attack once again, her chest heaving as she gasped for breath.

Sweat streamed down her face, dripping onto the scorched earth beneath her feet, instantly evaporating into white vapor.

While the sweat was still in mid-air, Meng Yanqing's figure disappeared again.

Even when her physical and mental strength were almost exhausted, she could not stop to rest.

At this desperate moment, Meng Yanqing suddenly felt a surge of inexplicable emotions.

It's not anger.

It wasn't a humiliation.

It is a kind of—

The realization that "I see" is now clear.

She always knew that Lei Ying was very strong.

During the preliminary rounds, Lei Ying single-handedly defeated all four of them. At that time, she just thought Lei Ying was very strong, ridiculously strong, and so strong that it made people despair.

But now, when she herself has become the ultimate Beastmaster, when she stands at the height she once thought she could rival Lei Ying—

Only then did she truly understand just how strong Lei Ying was.

That kind of strength isn't simply a difference in the pet's rank, but something deeper, almost an insurmountable chasm.

Just as an ant will never understand the height of an eagle.

Just like she only truly understood it now—

Why does Lei Ying never take her and Lin Feiyan seriously?

It's not because of arrogance.

Rather, it's because, in Lei Ying's perception, the gap between them and her was indeed so vast that they were not even the same species.

Some things can only be seen clearly when you reach that level yourself.

Meng Yanqing suddenly smiled.

His smile was tinged with bitterness, yet also with a sense of relief.

But more than anything, it was a resolute determination.

"Alright."

She said to herself.

"I'm done."

"I'm fed up with always hiding behind Youyou, fed up with being treated like a nobody, fed up with being looked down upon."

"This time—"

"I will defeat her with my own strength."

Meng Yanqing took a deep breath.

She raised her head, her gaze becoming more resolute than ever before.

Plan B, activated!

At that moment, her figure froze slightly.

It was only for a moment.

To the average viewer, this instant appears no different from the intervals between the previous dozens of position changes. Even in frame-by-frame playback by a high-speed camera, this instant is only a fraction of a second longer than the previous position change intervals.

But Princess Lightning, Lei Ying, captured that moment.

Her eyes, capable of detecting the trajectory of lightning, suddenly lit up at that moment.

"Gotcha!"

Princess Lightning Lei Ying's lips curled into a bloodthirsty smile.

Then--

She moved.

This time, she didn't hold back.

Pure lightning exploded around her, ionizing the surrounding air into plasma. Her figure transformed into a bolt of lightning, faster and more violent than before, tearing apart all afterimages and hurtling straight toward the frozen figure.

All the flickering afterimages within the Thousand Swords Formation vanished at that moment.

Only two figures that had stopped remained.

One of them is Princess Lightning, Lei Ying.

The other one is Meng Yanqing.

And the hand of Princess Lightning, Lei Ying—

It had already pierced Meng Yanqing's left chest.

The hearts of the entire audience skipped a beat at that moment.

In the vast stadium, hundreds of thousands of spectators fell silent at the same time.

All the shouts, screams, cheers, flags waving, and light sticks were frozen in mid-air.

The image on the big screen froze at that breathtaking moment—

Princess Lightning, Lei Ying's arm was pierced from her chest to her back. Blood dripped from her wrist, evaporating into a pale red mist in mid-air due to the stray arcs of electricity.

A trickle of blood seeped from the corner of Meng Yanqing's mouth.

Her face was as pale as paper.

On the commentary desk, Bao Xiaoxing's voice caught in his throat.

Her hands gripped the microphone tightly, her knuckles turning white. Her face, usually brimming with excitement, was now filled with shock and disbelief.

"Meng...Meng Yanqing...was..."

Her voice was trembling.

again.

Another ultimate beast tamer has been defeated by those below.

Following Mutsuki's Nine-Turn White Moon Silkworm Fairy's counterattack against the Other Shore Crossing Dragon, Lei Ying's Lightning Princess once again accomplished the feat of defeating the Ultimate level in her complete form.

On the field.

Meng Yanqing, who had been pierced in the chest, did not die immediately.

She was, after all, an ultimate beast tamer. Unlike ordinary beast tamers, ultimate beast tamers had undergone a qualitative transformation in their physique. Their muscle density, bone hardness, and organ resilience far surpassed those of ordinary people.

Moreover, she is a hybrid beast tamer among ultimate beast tamers, with even stronger vitality than ordinary ultimate beast tamers.

A pierced heart is an instant death for ordinary people and low-level beast tamers.

However, for the ultimate Beastmaster, given enough time to receive treatment, this level of injury may even be completely healed.

Of course, during her one-on-one duel with Princess Lightning Lei Ying, no one would heal her.

At this moment, Meng Yanqing could feel her life force rapidly draining away.

A series of tearing pains shot through her chest, as if someone were branding her heart with a hot iron. Blood gushed from the wound, staining her uniform with a large dark stain.

Her vision began to blur.

My ears are ringing.

But she still managed to lift her head and meet the face of Princess Lightning, Lei Ying, who was so close to her.

A spark of electricity flickered in Lei Ying's eyes, a faint sense of satisfaction on her face, as if she were savoring victory. Her hand was still pressed against Meng Yanqing's chest, her palm able to feel the faint beating of his heart.

"The farce is over."

Lei Ying said calmly.

There was no sarcasm or smugness in her tone, only a calm acceptance. It was as if this outcome had been predetermined from the start.

Meng Yanqing looked at her, and a smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

That curve is a smile.

A bloodstained, toothy smile.

Princess Lightning's pupils suddenly contracted at that moment.

Because Meng Yanqing's lips were moving.

It hummed silently.

The shape of his lips seemed to say—

"You're the one who got caught."
