Chapter 297: The Mighty Golden Coin Leopard

Tang San turned to Gu Li and said, “Senior brother Gu Li, keep an eye on that Golden Coin Leopard and slow down its time flow so it can’t charge at us. Senior brother Du Bai, when the match starts, go to the back immediately and prioritize the control of the array disc. Senior brother Wu, as planned, start gathering your power.”

“Okay!” everyone responded in unison.

White light flickered in Wu Bingji’s eyes as he rapidly gathered dense ice elemental energy while Tang San was surrounded by swirling blue light behind him.

“Let the battle begin!” With the announcer’s high-pitched call, the fight started!

The Bloodshed Team charged forth immediately. The Golden Coin Leopard vanished instantly, and when it reappeared, it was already right in front of Wu Bingji, its sharp claws striking directly at his head. Its terrifying bloodline power formed golden claw shadows as if wanting to rip the entire world apart.

It was too fast! The might of the golden bloodline meant that the Golden Coin Leopard was not limited by distance like ordinary Flash Leopards, it could move further. Its eyes glinted coldly, and its entire body seemingly radiated a bloody scent. Its striking claws swiftly tore through the air—so swiftly that Gu Li’s Time Freeze couldn’t lock it down in time.

However, Wu Bingji’s figure vanished before the claw shadows, almost instantly disappearing into thin air.

Wu Bingji could even feel the chilling cold of the claw shadow, the terrifying and sharp force almost tearing his body apart. But at the critical moment, he managed to dodge it.

Well, rather, he was spirited away. This was not just the ability to teleport; it also included a component of luck granted by the Celestial Fox Transformation. Otherwise, if the teleportation was a moment slower, he might have been killed by the opponent’s attack.

In the corner of the stands, the Bloodthirsty Demon Ape smirked. As good as the teleportation array disc was, could it really compare to the inherent teleportation ability of the leopard demons? Especially that of the Golden COin Leopard. Could their array activation be faster than the leopard demon utilizing its bloodline ability?

These leopard demons’ speed was incredible; just as the Golden Coin Leopard missed its swipe, the remaining Flash Leopards appeared in front of it.

Just as the Golden Coin Leopard was about to chase after the Shrek Squad, who had repositioned themselves at the back due to the array disc, its movement suddenly paused. The Time Freeze effect of the Chrono Croc Transformation finally took hold.

Simultaneously, on the Shrek Squad’s side, a burst of ice mist suddenly erupted from Wu Bingji. The ice mist shot out in front of him like a flood, swiftly enveloping an area over ten meters in diameter and rendering the five leopard demons unable to pinpoint their exact position.

The Golden Coin Leopard, however, did not hesitate even slightly; after that brief disturbance caused by Time Freeze, it vanished into thin air once again. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)lbin(.)com

When it reappeared, it was three meters above and in front of the ice mist. A pair of leopard claws swung downward, followed by swift golden claw shadows. Terrifying golden light shredded through the ice mist like a meat grinder. The four Flash Leopards quickly dispersed, pouncing toward other directions; should the array disc teleport their enemies again in their direction, they would be able to attack immediately.

The ice mist surged and shifted under the attack of the golden claws, yet it felt as though they didn’t hit anything solid. The Golden Coin Leopard stopped in midair, then naturally fell toward the expanding ice mist below..

The ninth-order Golden Coin Leopard naturally would not allow itself to fall into peril; its figure flickered and suddenly appeared ten meters away, observing the ice mist ahead.

Meanwhile, Tang San and his four comrades did not teleport again.

During this brief time, the ice mist expanded in range, and the surrounding air became colder. As if it was stimulated by the Golden Coin Leopard’s round of attacks, it rapidly increased to over thirty meters in diameter.

The dense ice mist churned as it spread, bringing about an intense chill. Inside the ice mist, a faint blue light flickered—it was wind elemental energy, which was behind the mist’s quick expansion.

The ice mist swept directly toward the Golden Coin Leopard, as if intending to engulf it completely.

The Golden Coin Leopard did not charge into the ice mist; it was well aware that doing so could pose a danger. It had certainly heard rumors about the Headshot Squad. It held a particular dread for Wu Bingji’s icicle attack, and it did not believe that its own head was any harder than those of Shrek’s previous opponents. It was, however, confident in its ability to teleport.

The ice mist continued to expand during this brief lull, and from the viewpoint of the stands, it could be seen beginning to spin rapidly as it grew in radius.

At this moment, the spectators in the stands responded with a chorus of boos. There were even many voices shouting in anger.

The reason for their anger was simple. Both the Headshot Squad and the Bloodshed Team were renowned for their swift victories in battle!

The rapid assaults of the Bloodshed Team and the swift strikes of the Headshot Squad had ended their previous matches in no more than five minutes. Thus, when placing their bets today, everyone naturally bet on the fight ending quickly.

Who could have anticipated that the battle would turn out like this? They could do nothing but watch as the ice mist continuously rotated and expanded without any signs of either side launching an attack.

With such delays, how long would this fight last? The spectators who had bet on the match ending in three minutes were already losing.

Even the announcer was at a loss for words at this point.

The five leopard demons stopped dispersing and slowly circled around, continuously trying to probe the opponents’ positions with long-range attacks into the ice mist.

However, as the ice mist swirled and even showed signs of snowflakes flying, their attacks disappeared without a trace upon entering the mist, making it impossible to determine their opponents’ positions.

Uncertainty flashed in the Golden Coin Leopard’s eyes. The rapidly spinning vortex had covered nearly one-third of the arena in just a few minutes of the standoff. Their enemies were all inside it, while outside, leopard demons had less and less room for maneuver. What would happen if their opponents could expand this icy mist to engulf the entire Great Beast Fighting Arena?

The previously confident ninth-order Golden Coin Leopard’s gaze became grave. It knew it could not wait any longer, as doing so might lead to defeat.

With this thought, it let out a roar toward the sky, causing the bodies of the other four eighth-order Flash Leopards to tense up instantly.

The next moment, the ninth-order Golden Coin Leopard was the first to charge into the icy whirlwind; in an instant it disappeared directly into the vortex. The four eighth-order Flash Leopards followed closely, diving in with their Leopard Flash in an attempt to prevent their opponents from locking onto their specific positions for an attack.

Did Tang San need to lock onto their specific locations? The answer, of course, was… no!

Before today’s battle began, Tang San had already surmised that this third match would likely target their team’s strengths—the most important being, of course, the teleportation array disc. With the flexibility the teleportation array disc provided, they were nearly invincible against ordinary opponents. So, how could they be defeated? That would require countering their array disc. To counteract teleportation, speed was essential. Without speed, their opponents would be dominated by the teleportation array disc combined with the long-range icicle attacks.
