My Beast Is the 12-Winged Angel

"Ah!!!"

The heart-wrenching scream of the Succubus echoed over the square.

This flame, which directly acted on the soul, brought a pain a thousand, ten thousand times more than physical pain.

At this moment, the Succubus was convulsing all over, twisting her body on the ground like a fish out of water.

She foolishly hoped to relieve the pain brought by the flame this way, but unfortunately...

It was of no use!

Everyone in the audience held their breath.

"Chen Ziming, who has Awakened Tier Eight... lost just like that?!"

"God Gu is ruthless! Directly beating the Beast Master! But it was so satisfying to watch!"

"Serves him right! Someone like Chen Ziming should be taught a harsh lesson!"

"God Gu, well done! Beat him to a pulp!"

On the stage, Gu Xing's fists rained down like a storm.

The swelling on Chen Ziming's face was gradually replaced by fear.

When the tenth punch landed, he trembled, wanting to admit defeat—

"Uh! I…"

However.

Before he could even make a sound, Gu Xing's vise-like grip clamped down on his jaw, his knuckles digging deep into the flesh.

Soon after, a voice slowly wormed into his ear.

"Remember when Shen Ruoxue wanted to concede back then? Didn't you refuse to let her admit defeat too?"

"Now it's your turn. Want to admit defeat? It won't be that simple!"

"The pain you inflicted on Shen Ruoxue, I will definitely return it to you several times over!"

This sentence was like a death sentence, causing Chen Ziming to tremble violently.

He struggled desperately, his deformed jaw mumbling in unclear plea:

"No... you can't, the rule…"

Gu Xing sneered coldly, adding more pressure with his hand.

"Indeed there's a rule that Guardian Beasts shouldn't attack Beast Masters, so I'm handling it personally."

"Crack!"

The sickening sound of bone cracking clearly resonated throughout the venue.

You should know, through that core, Gu Xing not only boosted his Spiritual Power.

Once the Beast Taming Space was established, the Spiritual Power reciprocated.

His various Attributes had multiplied several times, even when compared to Low Tier beasts, he was not inferior.

As for Chen Ziming, whose body was hollowed out by indulgence, he was like a toy in his hands.

Blood mixed with saliva trickled from the distorted corner of Chen Ziming's mouth.

The once-arrogant young master was now terrified!

The man in front of him would not hold back at all!

Seeing the man about to strike again, he collapsed to his knees, his forehead knocking against the stone floor with a dull sound.

At this moment, he abandoned all dignity and honor.

He only wished to survive!

Yet.

Gu Xing's gaze remained as cold as iron.

Chen Ziming's actions had no effect on him at all.

...

On the platform.

"Bang!"

Chen Shan shattered the armrest of his chair with a slap, standing up with bloodshot eyes.

The Summoning Array for his Guardian Beast had just formed in his hands when Xia Xiu's cold voice poured down like a bucket of ice water:

"Chairman Chen, are you going to disrupt this wager?"

Chen Shan's raised hand froze in mid-air, his knuckles whitened with force.

He could clearly feel a tremendously powerful aura locking onto him.

If he dared to summon the Guardian Beast, he would be bloodied at the scene in the next second.

Realizing the source of this aura, Chen Shan's wrinkled face flushed red.

"City Lord Xia, you..."

Xia Xiu drummed his fingers on the armrest lightly.

"Chairman Chen, wasn't it your side that begged the City Lord's Mansion to notarize this wager? Do you intend to go back on your word now?"

As he spoke, the pressure of Xia Xiu's Commander Level Beast Master status permeated outward.

Though Chen Shan was only Extraordinary High Tier, facing this pressure, his knees made a creaking sound of strain.

He turned his head with difficulty, seeking Chen Yan's help.

Feeling this gaze, Chen Yan reluctantly stood up:

"City Lord Xia, after all, this is an official assessment. Isn't your intervention..."

"Intervention?!"

Each crisp tap of Xia Xiu's fingers on the armrest made Chen Yan's heart quiver.

"This City Lord is upholding the fairness of the wager. Do you find what I'm doing questionable?"

After Xia Xiu's words, the entire viewing platform fell into pin-drop silence.

Previously, during Shen Ruoxue's match, he, as the City Lord, had no reason to intervene.

But now...

Xia Xiu held the contract in his hand.

These two practically handed him the reason on a silver platter.

Moreover.

Gu Xing was a talent personally taken away by Wei Yuan.

Even if today there wasn't this wager, Xia Xiu would protect him to the end.

Under Xia Xiu's cold gaze, Chen Yan felt on edge, but was forced to continue:

"City... City Lord Xia, Ziming in his current Status has clearly been defeated, there's no need for this assessment to continue, right?"

At this moment, Xia Xiu had seized the initiative. He replied steadily:

"Hasn't he not conceded? As long as he hasn't admitted defeat, the match will continue!"

"Of course, if you have any objections, then discuss them with my Guardian Beast!"

Before he finished speaking, a yellow flash emerged, and a three-meter-tall Earth Shattering Bear landed with a crash on the viewing platform, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

The grizzly bear's amber eyes glowed fiercely, its sharp claws carving deep grooves in the ground.

Chen Yan, who was about to open his mouth, immediately closed it tight, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Yet Chen Shan still wanted one last try.

"City Lord Xia..."

"Enough!"

Xia Xiu suddenly roared, slamming a palm down to shatter the cedar table before him.

The Earth Shattering Bear, resonating with its master's will, looked at the two men with increasingly dangerous eyes.

"Today I'm laying it out. As long as God Gu operates within reasonable boundaries, even if the skies are pierced, I will hold them up!"

"An Awakened Tier Six able to leave an Awakened Tier Eight Chen Ziming with no room to fight back, such a genius, why shouldn't I protect him?"

"If you want to intervene... then beat me first!"

Feeling Xia Xiu's resolute stance, Chen Yan grabbed Chen Shan's sleeve, and both could only swallow their bitter pill.

Xia Xiu shot a cold glance at them, only then retracting his pressure.

"Well, if there are no objections, then watch this match properly."

The two men were immensely frustrated, yet could only direct their gaze to the stage.

At this moment, on the stage.

The screams of the Succubus and Chen Ziming's wailing intertwined.

Under the burning of the Holy Flame, the Succubus's once enchanting body turned hideous.

She struggled to crawl to Gu Xing's feet, her charred fingertips trembled, clutching at his boot:

"Mas... Master..."

Her voice was hoarse, hardly resembling a human's, "Mei'Er knows she was wrong... I beg you..."

Gu Xing lowered his eyes, his cold gaze resting on the Succubus's face, burned beyond recognition.

The once calculating eyes now held only humble pleading.

Gu Xing effortlessly pulled his foot away.

This riffraff wanted to follow him?

In her dreams!

"Liu Li! If she still has the energy to speak, it seems it's not enough!"

On hearing this, Liu Li nodded heavily.

This kind of Guardian Beast was unworthy of her pity.

Her hands intertwined, crimson-gold flames surged, engulfing the Succubus into a human-shaped pillar of fire.

"Ah—!!!"
