Chapter 259 Strongest Battle Pet
Zheng Yi stood up and took two steps toward Lu Yu.
The stump on his right arm had already been bandaged.
Losing a hand enraged him, and he had become much more haggard under the excruciating pain.
“Lu Yu, you’re dead. I’m going to use my trump card.”
Lu Yu was annoyed and said impatiently, “I don’t want to waste my time on you. The demi-humans you captured need me right now!”
“You’re not wasting your time on me, but on my battle pet!”
Zheng Yi raised his left hand and touched an exquisite ring on his middle finger with his thumb.
Immediately after, the ring emitted a bright light, and a large silhouette appeared.
The light faded, and a massive tiger appeared before Zheng Yi.
“Your opponent will be my battle pet, the Underworld Tiger!”
The tiger in front of Zheng Yi looked about the same size as an adult northern tiger. However, it didn’t have the usual golden strips.
The Underworld Tiger’s fur was dark blue and emitted fluorescent light waves into the darkness.
The moment the Underworld Tiger appeared, the surrounding beast tamers were excited.
“Boss, you’re finally getting serious!”
“The Underworld Tiger is going to win us the battle!”
“We have a hope of winning this!”
“Boss, our hope is all upon you!”
Zheng Yi looked at everyone and said, “Don’t worry. You have all seen the strength of my Underworld Tiger, and it will be easy for it to get rid of Lu Yu.”
Lu Yu sized up the tiger in front of him, but he didn’t see anything special.
“Since you guys praise this tiger so much, I will give it a go then!”
Lu Yu’s claws turned into Diamond Dragon Claws as he approached the Underworld Tiger. He planned to end the battle quickly and not waste more time.
The clock was ticking. If he could break into the warehouse one second earlier, he could save one more demi-human.
All their lives were in Lu Yu’s hands.
Lu Yu’s body was covered in a layer of a rectangular golden shield as he quickly jogged up to the Underworld Tiger.
As he trod over, Lu Yu activated his Eye of the Dragon God and looked at the Underworld Tiger.
[ Underworld Tiger (S-Level) ]
[ Skills: Underworld Shadow, Corpse Ripping Claw, Underworld Explosion ]
[ Underworld Shadow: Creates a doppelganger that has half of the attributes of the original ]
[ Corpse Ripping Claw: Swings its claw forward, causing AOE damage. At the same time, it penetrates 50% of the target’s armor, creating a tearing effect that reduces healing. Lasts for 5 seconds ]
[ Underworld Explosion: Underworld Tiger self-destructs. At the cost of its life, it kills all living creatures within a three-meter radius ]
[ Personal Attributes ]
[ Attack: 420 ]
[ Speed: 280 ]
[ Health: 580 ]
[ Mana: 200 ]
[ Defense: 280 ]
The Underworld Tiger’s stats seemed slightly inferior to Lu Yu’s. However, its skills were simply overpowering!
If Lu Yu only looked at the tiger’s surface-level stats, he would win a fight against it.
However, these three skills were each more potent than the last!
Each of them gave Lu Yu a headache.
The first, creating a clone, was self-explanatory. Although it only had half the stats of the original, it still posed a significant threat.
The second skill was terrifying.
Lu Yu’s Armor-piercing Water Spear only gave a 40% armor-piercing effect. Moreover, it was a single-target skill.
This tiger’s Corpse Ripping Claw dealt AOE damage and gave such a ridiculous armor-piercing effect. It would destroy half of Lu Yu’s armor, which was much stronger than Lu Yu’s.
Moreover, it would have a tearing effect on its targets, and any healing effect would be significantly reduced. It would be difficult for Lu Yu to continue fighting if this skill hit him.
If Lu Yu were hit by the tiger’s Corpse Ripping Claw, his continuous battling ability would be greatly reduced.
If Lu Yu could defeat the Underworld Tiger, its clone, and dodge all their claw attacks, he still had one last move he needed to consider.
Under Explosion. Self-destructs at the cost of one’s own life, killing all living creatures within a three-meter radius.
This skill no longer looked at defense, health, or other factors.
As long as one was a living being, one would be killed immediately. It was a one-hit KO move.
Lu Yu gulped. It seemed that this tiger was a strong opponent and wouldn’t be easy to deal with.
In some aspects, the Underworld Tiger was similar to Lu Yu. The strength of the two depended on their skills and talents, not their raw stats.
Everyone held their breath as they looked at the man and the tiger. They knew that the upcoming battle would be one of the most exciting battles they would ever see. Therefore, everyone was dead silent.
The Underworld Tiger lowered its body and stared straight at Lu Yu. It was already prowling, ready to attack.
The next moment, with a swoosh, the Underworld Tiger charged out and arrived before Lu Yu instantly.
This short and fast sprint made everyone nervous.
The Underworld Tiger raised its robust tiger claws and smacked them onto Lu Yu’s shield.
“This attack will connect! The battle might end faster than expected!”
A beast tamer couldn’t help but blurt out. He knew the Underworld Tiger well and knew the effect the tiger’s claws had.
Lu Yu used both hands to block the incoming Underworld Tiger’s attack.
The Underworld Tiger’s sharp claws quickly struck over, but they didn’t hit Lu Yu’s body. Instead, they slammed into the golden barrier in front of Lu Yu.
Lu Yu could see that the Underworld Tiger had used its Corpse Ripping Claw skill. Its five claws were glowing faintly, drawing a bright arc as it clawed down.
Skrrr!!
The Underworld Tiger’s claws scratched the golden barrier, creating sparks.
Its claws were stopped, and the tips of its claws were embedded in the shield.
This claw attack dealt some damage but wasn’t enough to break the shield.
Lu Yu’s golden barrier had a health bar of 1,000 points. The armor-piercing effect reduced the shield value by half, and after the Underworld Tiger’s 420 raw attack stats, Lu Yu’s golden barrier still had 80 points of health left.
However, this little bit of shield was flickering. The golden barrier dimmed, looking like a layer of transparent film.
After the Underworld Tiger launched its attack, Lu Yu immediately brandished his Diamond Dragon Claws to retaliate.
Lu Yu’s claws clashed against the Underworld Tiger’s claws. After a loud thud, both sides were repelled at the same time.
The Underworld Tiger took two steps back, and the huge force caused its claws to go numb. Moreover, the sharp tip of Lu Yu’s claws pierced through the tiger’s paw, and blood flowed out.
“Roar!!”
The Underworld Tiger roared, furious as it knew it was at a disadvantage in the first exchange.
After roaring angrily, it quickly rushed up to Lu Yu!
The Underworld Tiger did not allow Lu Yu to catch his breath, which made Lu Yu anxious. He had to think of a way to get rid of this tiger as soon as possible, as he couldn’t afford to drag this on any longer.
Just as the Underworld Tiger approached Lu Yu, a shadow appeared beside it. It assumed a charging posture as it dashed toward Lu Yu.
