Chapter 80 She's still putting on airs!
"To surrender, or to die?"
As soon as Long Xi finished speaking, the world seemed to freeze for a moment.
The long-dormant Nieyue Juexian stirred, its terrifying dragon head slowly sinking, its pair of silver-purple dragon eyes looking down at the people of Lanzhiyuan. There was no warmth belonging to any living being in its cold gaze, only the indifference and scrutiny of an ultimate being.
Then, the enormous mouth covered with hundreds of sharp teeth slowly opened, the rows of teeth overlapping each other, like the door to an abyss slowly opening.
"roar--!"
A roar, like thunder from the heavens striking the mortal realm, or like an ancient horn exploding deep within the soul, caused the deck to tremble violently. The entire airship's metal structure groaned under the strain, as if it would shatter into pieces and scatter across the sky in the next second.
This is the terrifying sense of oppression unique to the ultimate form, the ultimate life aura that far surpasses that of trillions of pet beasts.
They don't need to deliberately release their oppressive power; their very existence is a devastating blow to all things in the world. A mere wisp of their life force is enough to rival the force of a landslide or the raging torrent of a stormy sea.
Compared to Ultimate-level Pokémon, Perfect-level and Champion-level Pokémon are nothing more than ants and dust.
Under the force of that roar, most of the trainees involuntarily knelt down, sweat beading on their necks. This was the survival instinct ingrained in their genes, driving them to swear allegiance to the ultimate life form before them in order to survive. Faced with an absolute power gap, dignity and backbone were nothing more than irrelevant, redundant code in the course of evolution.
Looking around, apart from Xue Youyou, who remained calm and detached throughout, the only ones who could barely maintain their standing posture were Meng Yanqing and Lin Yueyao.
The reason they were able to remain composed in the face of the ultimate aura was partly because their strength was indeed superior to the others, and partly because they were both incredibly proud Beastmasters.
Only then could one barely withstand the ultimate power with a mortal body and suppress the survival instinct within one's genes.
As for Xue Youyou—she directly roamed within the ultimate aura!
"Cult members should be punished by everyone!"
Xue Youyou stood with her hands behind her back, her spine straight as a pine tree, and answered in a slightly childish yet powerful voice.
Long Xi's eyes twitched slightly, and a vein on his forehead throbbed almost imperceptibly. Too lazy to waste words with Xue Youyou, he said with chilling murderous intent, "Heh, then you can die!"
The cult leader's highest order to her was that if she couldn't subdue Xue Youyou, she had to be eliminated!
Just as Long Xi was about to make his move, Xue Youyou suddenly made a stop gesture: "Wait."
"What, changed your mind?"
Long Xi discovered that Xue Youyou was quite a troublemaker, and every time she opened her mouth, she could precisely hit the tip of her patience, causing her to bounce back and forth repeatedly.
She was too lazy to waste words with this white-haired girl who talked nonsense. Every extra word she said to Xue Youyou felt like it would shorten her lifespan.
She was worried that if they were going to fight, they should fight quickly. She was concerned that if they dragged it out any longer, the commotion would be too great and might attract the attention of a powerful beast tamer who happened to be passing by. If that happened, things would get complicated and things would be in trouble.
What she didn't know was that Xue Youyou actually thought the same thing.
Xue Youyou was also eager to finish the fight as soon as possible, fearing that the big fat duck that was about to be fed to her would end up being taken by someone else.
It was only because Meng Yanqing was there that Xue Youyou had no choice but to say, "Heaven has the virtue of cherishing life. Let's not let our battle between adults affect these little beginners. Let's fight somewhere else."
Long Xi was taken aback that Xue Youyou, even on the verge of death, still had the leisure to worry about others. He couldn't help but let out a sneer, his face filled with mockery as he said, "I'll be frank. Whether you join the Moon Worship Cult or not, I will kill them in the end, because they know too much and must die!"
Upon hearing this, the faces of everyone in Lanzhi Courtyard turned ashen. The last straw they had been clinging to had been crushed to dust by Long Xi's casual remark.
Lu Yuan, on the other hand, looked as if she had known this would happen, and let out a long sigh.
Now, whether she admits it or not, the only way for these people to survive is to hope that Xue Youyou can defeat Long Xi.
But... does a fully evolved Pokémon want to defeat an Ultimate Pokémon at its peak?
Haha, that's pure nonsense, a pipe dream.
However, Xue Youyou chuckled and spoke up, seemingly unaware of the shocking things she had just said: "Don't say that. Let's fight somewhere else. In return, I'll spare your life after I win."
Everyone in Lanzhi Courtyard was stunned by Xue Youyou's words, their mouths agape, their jaws nearly hitting their toes.
Although it was obvious to everyone that Xue Youyou was racking her brains to fight for their survival, what she said was outrageous. She dared to utter such outrageous and vulgar words; it was practically like saying she would tear off a dragon's scales and pull out its tendons in front of the dragon.
Su Wanrou was the most deeply moved. She had every reason to believe that, under Xue Youyou's actions, the thoroughly enraged Long Xi would speed up the process of eliminating them.
However, this time, Long Xi's reaction was beyond all expectations. Instead of getting angry, he was amused by Xue Youyou.
She suddenly got used to Xue Youyou's whimsical way of speaking.
If they weren't on opposing sides, they might have become friends.
Long Xi shook her head slightly, a helpless bitter smile on her lips: "I really don't understand you. Are you really that confident you can beat me?"
Then, to everyone's surprise, Long Xi nodded in agreement to Xue Youyou's request: "Alright, you tell me where to fight, and hurry up!"
Seeing that Long Xi had agreed, Xue Youyou breathed a sigh of relief and then said no more.
"Follow me!"
Under everyone's watchful eyes, Xue Youyou stood with her hands behind her back, without any external assistance or the support of any pet, her body seemingly defying gravity, rising vertically into the air like riding an elevator, which was incredibly cool.
It was so bright it blinded the group from Lanzhiyuan.
"Damn, how did she do that?!"
"What the hell is this poet?!"
"We're not sisters, all the beast tamers can fly, but my pet can't, is that right?"
"I'd like to learn too, could you teach me?"
"..."
After confirming that Long Xi had no intention of letting them go, the people of Lan Zhiyuan relaxed one by one, successfully overcoming their fear of death and no longer caring about anything else, and began to chat happily.
After Xue Youyou somehow managed to fly up, Long Xi, not wanting to be left behind, jumped onto the dragon head of Nie Yue Jue Xian You and ordered it to immediately follow Xue Youyou.
Damn it, this is the first time I've ever seen anyone so arrogant in front of her, the overlord of the skies.
A rumbling sound—!
Upon receiving the Beastmaster's order, Nie Yue Jue Xian You quickly unwrapped the dragon tail that was wrapped around the airship, the scales rubbing against the metal and making a piercing sound.
After shedding its burdens, it let out a long, resounding roar that pierced the heavens, soared into the sky, and sped off towards the direction of the snowy wilderness.
