Spirit Master Girl: Contracting with an SSS-Level School Beauty at the Start-Chapter 314 Earth Dragon Crisis

"What’s happening? This oppressive feeling..."

Li Hongsen’s pupils shrank violently, looking at Xiao Zhan with fear and disbelief!

This oppressive force that left him unable to move was something he had only felt from the Li family head, Li Quanxian. How could Xiao Yu, a mere Fourth Grade Spirit Master, evoke such a powerful oppression?

Why...why is this happening?

His fear spread across his face, then to his entire body. He desperately tried to activate his Spirit Manipulation Energy, desiring to even slightly move his body but, no matter how much he tried, he could not move.

The saber trembled, struggling to break free from this pressure.

But similarly, it was to no avail!

Fear, as Xiao Zhan closed in, morphed into despair. Li Hongsen no longer possessed his prior confidence. He thought he had risen high enough that no matter what Xiao Zhan did, he could not touch him.

But he terribly underestimated Xiao Zhan’s capabilities!

Faced with death, he couldn’t help but wonder, is Xiao Zhan really just Fourth Grade?

Swoosh!

The only answer for him was the whooshing of the Death Demon Scythe.

Xiao Zhan wielded the Death Demon Scythe in front of him, raised it high, and brought it down on his head with a crisp, seamless sound, easily splitting Li Hongsen’s body into two.

His Artifact Spirit Great Saber also cried out mournfully, turning into a human figure, and fell straight from the sky.

Xiao Zhan didn’t spare them a glance, plummeting from the air and immediately running towards First-tier Sky.

The move he just displayed was the same one he used when the cloaked figure tried to abduct Ye Youlong, a move that consumed a lot of energy.

Thus, after its execution, Xiao Zhan could no longer maintain his Battle Spirit Form for long.

However, the people he brought were still in danger; he had to rescue them.

He might not save the Xiao Family’s people, but he must rescue those from Death’s Hand!

His figure swiftly darted, trailing a long dark shadow, with incessant thunder within the shadow. In the blink of an eye, he was already at First-tier Sky.

But now, First-tier Sky was in total chaos.

The Earth Dragon’s massive body needed no elaborate attacks to severely injure the group of weaker Spirit Masters.

They were like ants, and the Earth Dragon like an earthworm, simply not on the same level.

Casual rolling caused a situation akin to the sky crumbling and earth shattering, with rocks tumbling and the ground shaking, easily crushing a large swath of them!

It was like a regional apocalypse.

Xiao Zhan arrived and immediately released the Death Aura.

His Death Aura could shield against the Earth Dragon’s Perception, and also enhance the power of the people from Death’s Hand, giving them a better chance to escape within the Death Aura.

As for the other people from the Xiao Family, whether they would perish due to the adverse effects of the Death Aura.

Xiao Zhan could no longer care about that!

The deep Death Aura was released like a tidal wave, quickly engulfing the whole First-tier Sky!

Xiao Zhan heard the desperate screams that originally filled the air now added with countless fearful despair!

That was from some who originally had hope of escaping, but now Xiao Zhan’s Death Aura enveloped, sealing away their last hope!

In the Death Aura, they were like flies without heads.

However, with the despair it brought, it also brought hope of life to others!

Death’s Hand Li Teng, facing the assault of the Earth Dragon, had already fallen into despair.

But with the sudden envelopment of the Death Aura, the Earth Dragon suddenly lost its direction, its body veered off course, and Li Teng narrowly escaped death by luck.

Then, he sensed the message transmitted by Xiao Zhan, nodded in Xiao Zhan’s direction, and then turned and ran in a particular direction.

That was the safe escape route directed by Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan stood atop the First-tier Sky, considering the position of the Earth Dragon, he could clearly discern the safest location, so through the Death Aura, he formed a special path to guide him to escape.

The other members of Death’s Hand did the same, after luckily avoiding danger, they immediately headed in the direction directed by Xiao Zhan.

While the others were not so fortunate.

Roar!

As everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, the Earth Dragon suddenly let out a furious roar!

Xiao Zhan perceived it unable to find its target and directly burrowed into the ground.

The Death Aura could not penetrate the ground, but the Earth Dragon inside the ground could determine the location of people based on the ground’s vibrations.

Boom!

The rage of its progression as it burrowed into the ground was palpable.

Its entire body hadn’t even fully entered the ground when it couldn’t help but burst out.

It lashed out at the area with the most people running away!

Instantly, there was a swath of death!

Fortunately, the area impacted was where the Li corporate group was escaping.

But Xiao Zhan knew that the Death Aura was no longer effective against it!

He couldn’t, however, withdraw the Death Aura, because once withdrawn, the Earth Dragon’s attacks would be even less restrained. The Death Aura, though ineffective, still served some purpose.

Xiao Zhan hesitated for a moment in his expression, then immediately made a decision.

Using Thunder Shadow Step, he approached Li Teng.

"Organize your subordinates to escape, spread out and run, don’t worry about the others, you must preserve your own strength!"

"Yes!"

After instructing him, Xiao Zhan immediately pursued the Earth Dragon.

Now, while his own power could still last a bit longer, he wanted to create enough time for the members of Death’s Hand to escape.

And what he needed to do, was to attract the Earth Dragon’s attention.

Of course, he wasn’t foolish enough to use himself as bait; he planned to attack the surrounding mountains and rocks to create noises, thereby confusing the Earth Dragon’s hearing.

So, he quickly reached above the Earth Dragon, then deployed the Spirit Manipulation Technique Dead Flame Phoenix, and struck the largest mountain rock with it!

Unfortunately, this Spirit Manipulation Technique had a bit of a long lead time, and by the time Xiao Zhan completed it, the Earth Dragon had already charged twice.

The people of the Xiao Family were also collectively impacted once, but fortunately, with Xiao Zhan’s instructions to Li Teng, the members of Death’s Hand scattered and ran, so the losses were minimal.

On the other hand the people of the Xiao Family, due to their chaotic panic, suffered very heavy casualties.

This showcases the benefits of military-like training; when orders are issued, whether the path ahead is safe or dangerous, they execute them immaculately.

This ensures the maximization of life safety.

The Xiao Family members did not possess such discipline.

This was also why Xiao Zhan asked Li Teng not to bother with them, because they would not strictly follow Li Teng’s instructions; they would only follow their own instincts.
