After using cheats, I became the strongest Beast Tamer

Chi Xing witnessed his two Beast Tamings being swallowed into the stomach by that extremely ugly Headless Bone Bird, his eyes nearly bursting from their sockets.

He wanted to rescue his Beast Tamings, but deep down, his subconscious told him it was impossible.

Unless a being of Ascension came to the rescue now, he might have a slim chance.

Decisively summoning his Beast Taming, Chi Xing grabbed the claws of his own Beast Taming, the red bird soared into the sky, then plummeted to the ground.

A bamboo leaf pierced through the head of the red bird.

Chi Xing fell to the ground in an embarrassing heap, without uttering a sound.

The sound of the wind came from the sky once more, and hope flashed in Chi Xing's eyes. His circumstances couldn't get any worse, his only hope was on the newcomer.

The aftermath of the battle here was so great, anyone daring to come at this time must have some confidence.

Dong Fang looked up at the Sìxiàng flying overhead, watchful of the Snow Bamboo Spirit Sovereign underneath him.

The Sìxiàng landed not far away on the ground, Chen Xing disengaged from the Unity of Heavenly Aspects and emerged from inside the Sìxiàng, laughing out loud, "Brother Dong, long time no see."

Dong Fang, upon seeing Chen Xing, recognized him, "It's you."

Chen Xing smiled lightly, "Brother Dong, is this the first or second time we meet, offline?"

Chen Xing had previously visited Martyrs' Mausoleum to pay tribute to Dong Fang's grave.

It was during that visit that he acquired a bamboo leaf.

When Chi Xue ambushed him, that bamboo leaf had automatically activated and helped him block a strike.

Gu Yuzhi had once parted with a portion of her consciousness to enter a college entrance exam replica, and Chen Xing guessed that Dong Fang might have done the same back then.

Iron Rock Pass held special significance for them. Perhaps they wanted to relive it once more, and since they were acquaintances, there was a high probability they would be in the same replica space.

By now, Chen Xing had roughly pieced together the causes and effects.

Dong Fang clapped Chen Xing on the shoulder, "It's the third time. That day at Martyrs' Mausoleum I was in the shadows. Given my special identity at the time, officially I was a dead man, so it wasn't convenient to come forward and recognize you. That's why I gave you a leaf for protection."

Pausing, Dong Fang added, "But you've got guts, daring to come here."

He turned to look at the Demon Eagle whose Beast Tamer had yet to appear, uncertain of who its master was.

He had speculated whether Chen Xing was the Beast Tamer of the Demon Eagle, but quickly dismissed the thought.

That would be a Beast Taming at the peak of Transcendence. Little brother Chen had only taken the college entrance exam the year before last; it couldn't be that exaggerated, could it?

Nevertheless, taking down Chi Xing, the Demon Eagle was the true hero of this battle.

If it weren't for it, Chi Xing might have really managed to escape.

Before this, no one expected that Chi Xing still had a second Beast Taming at the peak of Transcendence hidden away. It wasn't even mentioned in the intelligence reports. The depth of this man's concealment and his sinister plans were immense.

"My liege." The Demon Eagle walked over to Chen Xing and respectfully called out from behind him.

Dong Fang was taken aback, then looked incredulously between Chen Xing and the Demon Eagle.

The least likely answer turned out to be true?!

Suddenly, Dong Fang burst out laughing as something dawned on him.

Back in the replica, Chen Xing was eliminated by Chi Xing's Beast Taming, but this year Chi Xing, the high-ranking chief priest of Fentian Giant City's Temple, was captured alive by Chen Xing in collaboration with himself.

From one event to the other, who could say this wasn't fate.

"You bastard, you had it coming!" Dong Fang walked over to Chi Xing and kicked him.

Chi Xing grunted, then closed his eyes in despair.

He thought the arrival would be a powerful figure from Fentian Giant City; he didn't expect it to be this Demon Eagle's Beast Tamer.

Suddenly, Chi Xing's eyes snapped open, glaring fixedly at Chen Xing.

As if to imprint his face in his memory—had it not been for him, he almost left and might have even killed Dong Fang in a counterattack.

"You're also one who survived Iron Rock Pass?"

Iron Rock Pass?

Chen Xing looked down at Chi Xing, "Yes, you can call me the Iron Rock Pass recruit."

"Brother Dong, how should we deal with this man?" Chen Xing asked Dong Fang.

After a moment's thought, Dong Fang replied, "Originally, I wanted to capture him alive, as he's worth more alive. But I think it's enough to use his head to pay homage to our fallen comrades." Dong Fang gave Chen Xing a meaningful look.

Chi Xing may not understand Chen Xing's identity now, but he had nonetheless learned about this affair.

As far as he knew, the country was divided between hawks and doves.

If Chi Xing were really to be exchanged back, Chen Xing's identity would be even more exposed.

A Transcendence peak youth so young, if the news got out... it would be explosive.

Not a good thing for Chen Xing.

If Chi Xing died, the news would be contained within a certain range.

What Chen Xing has achieved only needs to be known by the top few of Great Xia, and he would not miss out on any of the merits due to him.

Dong Fang looked down at Chi Xing, "Little brother, let me do the killing, I've been looking forward to this day for a long time."

Chen Xing stepped back two paces to avoid being splattered with blood.

"You do it, Brother Dong."

Dong Fang took out an old machete from his Storage Ornament, its blade notched and pitted, with dried blood on it, and a red ribbon tied through a hole in the handle.

Chi Xing, appearing resigned to his fate, pretends to be calm. But when Dong Fang truly raised the machete,

His eyelids couldn't help trembling, he blurted, "Wait—"

With a thud!

Before he could finish, a head rolled a few times.

Detached from the body.

"Hahahahaha!" Dong Fang dropped the knife, his heart unfettered.

He laughed until tears sprang to his eyes.

It took a while for him to calm down, "I'm too happy today, brother."

Dong Fang squatted down, took out a box to put Chi Xing's head in.

He then brought out a coffin to place the headless body within.

"This old thing's corpse is also valuable! Later we can let the Chi Family pay a ransom for it, wait until we get a good price. We'll split the profits fifty-fifty."
