Chapter 367: Fierce Battle of Beasts
“Red-Armored Battle Lizard! I remember now. This Duncan is the third son of the Modern family of Milky Way City!”
After hearing Lilian mention the Red-Armored Battle Lizard, Shawn suddenly came to a realization. He immediately remembered Duncan’s origin.
“Modern family? Old Shawn, the Modern family you mentioned is…”
After hearing that Duncan was from the Modern family, Toran’s expression became somewhat unnatural. He asked with some uncertainty.
“The Great Modern Family of Milky Way City. The family head is Bosi, who has the name of the Scarlet Flame Lord. Their family’s signature source beast is a Red-Armored Battle Lizard,” Eddie, who didn’t say a word, slowly said.
“It can’t be. If Duncan is the third son of the Modern family, why would he come to our competition? For a competition of this level, those noble families who think highly of themselves should look down on him, right?” Toran slammed the wine flask on the table. He frowned and spoke.
“I know the name Duncan because there was a famous case of family extermination in Tianhe City. It was a family called the Yan family living in Tianhe City.
In one night, seven people, young and old, were slaughtered in the family. Even the youngest five-year-old child was not spared,” Shawn narrowed his eyes and said faintly. His hoarse voice became a little cold.
“Are you saying that Duncan was responsible for the massacre?” The smile on Andy’s face disappeared.
“Although there is no evidence to prove it, it’s probably true,” Shawn said.
“How dare he commit murder in the city!” Toran said in a deep voice. He tightened his grip on the flagon, and cracks appeared on the outside of the flagon.
“Duncan was born a bastard. When he was young, he was treated coldly and bullied by the family. He grew up under the influence of such an environment, and he became a perverse person, and he always takes revenge for his flaws.”
Shawn paused and looked at his colleagues around him, then continued to explain what had happened.
“The Yan family that was exterminated was an ordinary family in Tianhe City, but they had a beautiful daughter. Duncan took a fancy to her and tried to take her as a concubine.
However, she directly rejected him in public. Duncan, who was extremely embarrassed and angry, didn’t pester her any longer and went home.”
“Duncan always takes revenge for his mistakes. Could it be…” Andy’s tone became a little low.
“That’s right. Initially, everyone thought that this matter was over, but they didn’t expect that the next morning, the neighbors of the Yan family would discover that her entire family had died tragically in their home. Especially their daughter, who had been humiliated first and then killed. The murderer’s methods were very vicious.”
“In the end, when the Guardian learned that such a terrible thing had happened in the city, he sent people to search for evidence, but in the end, they found nothing.”
When Shawn told the rumors about the destruction of Tianhe City, the expressions of the surrounding village chiefs became serious.
Eddie and the other five village chiefs’ expressions became ugly. Other than being an official, they were unhappy that such a terrible thing had happened in the city but had not been discovered.
They were also shocked that the force behind the Modern family had suppressed this matter so easily. The power hidden in the darkness was really shocking.
“Toran, let your son take a step back. Let Duncan be the champion of this competition. We don’t need to take the risk to provoke him.
“If the Modern family behind him ‘looks sideways’, that would be bad,” said Shawn, looking at the increasingly livid Toran.
“This… Alright.” Toran struggled for a long time. Although he was unwilling, he still chose to compromise. In the end, Toran’s straight back suddenly bent a little.
“Dode, forfeit now.” Toran transmitted his voice to his son, Dode.
When Dode heard his father’s voice, he was stunned. He turned his head to look at his father on the main stage.
Dode already had some guesses as to why Toran asked him to surrender, but it was precisely because of this that he could not bear it.
Dode did not want to believe that his father, who had always taught him to be fearless and courageous, was actually afraid of the other party’s power. He even asked him to surrender without a fight.
Dode, who had always been obedient to his father, clenched his fists. He did not listen to his father’s orders. He urged his source energy to directly reply to Toran, “Father, I will not give up. I will not give up what you taught me!”
After sending the message, Dode cut off the source energy connection with his father. No matter how Toran tried to convey it, Dode ignored it.
Toran sat weakly on the chair. His eyes were filled with both relief and worry. He sighed bitterly.
After noticing Toran’s abnormality, Shawn frowned and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“That kid Dode is too stubborn. He doesn’t want to listen to me. Alas, the moment I told him to surrender without a fight, I was no longer worthy to be his father…” Toran smiled bitterly. He picked up the wine pot and kept pouring wine into his mouth.
“I didn’t expect your son to be so strong…” Shawn had a complicated look on his face. He didn’t know what to say.
After Toran drank the last drop of wine in the flagon, he crushed the flagon and said fiercely, “F*ck! What’s the big deal about the Modern family? I don’t believe that he can do anything to me, the village chief appointed by the Imperial Court.”
“Toran, if the Modern family really has any evil thoughts, we won’t sit idly by.” Andy smiled and patted Toran’s shoulder to comfort him.
Seeing the surrounding Lilian and the others nodding in agreement, Toran was very moved. He choked and said, “You guys…”
When Toran was about to cry, Eddie said calmly, “We don’t know for the time being if the Modern family has any ulterior motives. It’s just that whether our dear nephew can defeat Duncan is a big problem. If anything unexpected happens during the competition…”
When the others heard Eddie’s words, their expressions immediately turned grave.
Indeed, with Duncan’s personality, there was no such thing as being prudent.
Although the rules stated that one couldn’t attack a Beast Master, it didn’t mean that one couldn’t kill a source beast. If Dode’s source beast was killed, it would be a huge blow to the child’s future, and he might not be able to recover from it. It would ruin Dode’s life.
The expressions of Eddie and the others changed. Dode, who was on the field, didn’t notice it. Right now, he was fully focused on Duncan’s Red-Armored Battle Lizard, thinking of a countermeasure.
“Oh? You don’t listen to the opinions of others and directly forfeit? You muddlehead.”
As he said this, a hint of amusement appeared on Duncan’s face.
As for Dode’s action of turning around and looking at the stage, Duncan had a rough understanding of the situation in his heart. It was obvious that the village chiefs on the stage already knew his identity and did not dare to offend him, so they chose to let him surrender.
This situation was not unfamiliar to him. When Duncan was looking for fun in other rural areas, he had encountered this situation a few times.
Duncan, who originally thought that it was a little boring for Dode to withdraw his source beast and directly forfeit, saw that the other party still chose to stay on the stage, and his face instantly revealed an expression of interest.
“Just face the battle, what nonsense are you spouting! Tyrannical Rock Bear, use Rock Stomp!” Dode said coldly, directly commanding the Tyrannical Rock Bear to launch an attack on the opponent’s Red-Armored Battle Lizard.
The Tyrannical Rock Bear did not have the slightest intention of retreating when facing the Red-Armored Battle Lizard whose aura was stronger than its own. After letting out an angry roar, its enormous body directly had four legs, and it charged forward with indomitable will towards the opponent.
“Rock Stomp!”
The Tyrannical Rock Bear that was continuously approaching the Red-Armored Battle Lizard gathered the power of the earth. Rocks that appeared out of thin air continuously gathered on the soles of its feet, and in a short while, they formed an outer layer of rocks on the soles of its feet.
Accompanied by a biting cold wind, the Tyrannical Rock Bear’s huge body leaped up and directly stepped on the Red-Armored Battle Lizard’s body.
“Hmph, those who don’t know are fearless. Looks Like It’s better for me to wake you up.”.
“Block it, Red-Armored Battle Lizard.” After seeing Dode let the Tyrannical Rock Bear directly launch an attack, Duncan sneered and gave an order to his source beast.
Bang!
Facing the Tyrannical Rock Bear’s full-strength rock stomp, the Red-Armored Battle Lizard slowly stood up. Its powerful forelimbs were crossed in front of its head. Without using any source skills to support it, it directly used its own strength to block the Tyrannical Rock Bear’s full-strength attack, and it didn’t show any signs of difficulty.
“It actually used its arms to block the Rock Stomp? Damn it, its strength is even more shocking than I imagined.” Dode’s face sank. He didn’t expect the Red-Armored Battle Lizard to be so powerful.
