Chapter 253 The Special Uses of Beast Tamer Skills
```
"Weak as a breeze, too slow, too slow! Your path to Transcendence might have Fleshly Transcendence, but you're as clumsy as a wild boar coming down the mountain."
The Sìxiàng, engulfed by Thunder Spear that tightly entwined around it like an airtight armor, kept it firmly enclosed.
Endless thunder shone, almost obscuring the pupils of Sìxiàng.
Behind the dazzling thunder, its cold eyes glinted with a ghostly light.
Beneath them, the Howling Moon King Kong's fur was ignited by flames as it madly pursued Sìxiàng. Suddenly, its body seized as if an invisible sledgehammer had smashed into the depths of its soul!
Now was the moment!
Sìxiàng's body swayed.

"Thunder Trial!"
The thunder descended like a waterfall from the sky, and the Howling Moon King Kong's fur stood on end, singed black by the electricity.
It let out a mournful wail as nine crimson chains shot through its body from above, accompanied by a dull thud.
Its soul was forcefully extracted and then devoured by the red door behind Sìxiàng.
From a distance, Chen Xing watched the battlefield and gained a clearer understanding of Sìxiàng's current combat power.
The Beast Taming's robust Physical Body was monstrous in its Fleshly Transcendence.
Sìxiàng had managed to suppress it with nothing but the power of its temporary Transcendence Second Layers, barely surpassing it in speed.
After being bestowed with temporary Divinity, Sìxiàng's speed was extremely fast, and the Howling Moon King Kong couldn't catch up at all.
It wasn't that the straight-line speed had surpassed by much, as in short bursts, the Howling Moon King Kong wasn't much worse than Sìxiàng.
But it lacked agility, its body turning and shifting with stiffness each time.
Crushing slower opponents wasn't a problem, but against a faster adversary like Sìxiàng, that stiffness became fatal.
Even without executing the Dark Realm Judgment, simply using this dog-walking combat style could ultimately secure victory.
However, this way of fighting took more time, and the Howling Moon King Kong's healing speed was extremely fast.
Approaching the body of Howling Moon King Kong, even though it was dead, its corpse still exuded a strong aura of malevolence.
Its eyes were wide open with rage, as if it might pounce at any breath.
Chen Xing tentatively plucked at its fur, finding each strand as tough as iron, and only with much effort managed to pull out a small tuft.
He reached out and took the massive corpse into his storage ring.
Suddenly, Sìxiàng turned to look behind it.
"Squeak, squeak," the Void Hunter made an uneasy noise.
"Master, something is coming," said Sìxiàng as the words left its mouth.
From behind a black mountain on the horizon,
A tide of darkness surged, accompanied by that eerie sound.
"Found you, found you~"
Sìxiàng grabbed Chen Xing's shoulder and seized the Void Hunter.
The two beasts and one person vanished on the spot.
When the tide of darkness arrived, Sìxiàng, Chen Xing, and the Void Hunter had already disappeared, leaving only empty ground behind.
The dense, writhing hair of the black tide burrowed into the soil and surged into the sky, seemingly trying to find Sìxiàng in this way!
But Sìxiàng had already taken Chen Xing out of the Dark Realm, no longer in that space.
"No!!!"
...
Main Plane.
Back on solid ground, Chen Xing looked around, focusing on a crooked snail shell not far ahead. The snail shell was empty, the earth around it desolate.
In addition, there were three unfamiliar Beast Tamer corpses, a black bird shriveled into a mummy, hanging on a tree branch, like an inverted bat.
A rhinoceros-like Beast Taming creature was reduced to a mere pelt, and a six-tailed white fox's pelt lay on the ground.
Meng Quan, with hair turned white, sat kneeling on the ground, coughing up blood from the corner of his mouth.
Qin Xuan was sitting not far from him on a large stone, idly playing with a pair of rotating balls.
Seeing Chen Xing emerge, Qin Xuan was silently astonished; he had come out faster than expected.
And... he glanced at Meng Quan, who was coughing up blood.
This kind of backlash only occurred when all the Beasts were dead.
As the Energy Level between a Beast Tamer and their beasts grew higher, the connection between them became increasingly tight.
When all Beasts died, the backlash suffered by the Beast Tamer was more severe.
To leap across four major realms and strike at Transcendence Fifth Level from merely a Transcendence First Layer... this must be a joke.
Pointing at the kneeling Meng Quan on the ground, Qin Xuan said casually, "You can deal with him however you want."
All Beasts being dead and years of efforts wasted was virtually the biggest blow to a Beast Tamer. With the Beasts gone, a Beast Tamer was pretty much finished.
"Brother Qin, if we tie him up and extort the Meng Family, how much do you think they can pay?"
Chen Xing came up to Meng Quan and asked Qin Xuan on a whim.
"They can't give much," Qin Xuan shook his head, "The Meng Family won't offer much ransom, they would just want you to release him immediately."
"But this is an Elder."
Qin Xuan chuckled, "What use is an Elder without Beasts? These great families are very pragmatic; they won't pay for someone who isn't valuable anymore."
Sighing lightly, the kneeling Meng Quan spoke openly, "Kill me. I've lost this round. But this won't end here.
Before I left, I had informed my first wife of the purpose of my journey. If I don't return within a month, she will report it to the family."
"Cut the crap." Chen Xing gave a sign to Sìxiàng, who acted decisively.
Bang!
The Thunder Spear struck Meng Quan squarely between the brows, instantly charring his body black.
His body fell to the ground with a thump, turning into a piece of char.
Thus, this influential Elder of the Meng Family's side branch died in an unnamed desolate place.
"Here." Qin Xuan threw a ring to Chen Xing.
"Brother Qin, this should be yours." Chen Xing offered the ring back to Qin Xuan.
Qin Xuan took back the ring, smiled, and threw it to Chen Xing again, "If you don't want it, I'll confiscate it. My Beast had its fill on this trip, and the gains are enough for me."
