Beast Taming: Invincible Breeder-Chapter 341 - 316: Descent Mirror

The tattoo is shaped like a reversed mirror, and this mirror tattoo is something Li Cunxu had seen in his previous life, originating from a ninth-tier treasure—the Descent Mirror.

The Descent Mirror and the Ten Thousand Spirits Mirror are both parts of the Emperor’s Tool: Celestial Observation Mirror.

Li Cunxu also happens to know who possesses the Descent Mirror.

It’s King Jin.

King Jin, a Venerable King Level Peak Powerhouse, a high-ranking member of the alliance, he has a grudge against Li Shiji.

When Li Shiji was young, he betrayed humanity and executed three of King Jin’s sons.

King Jin had only four sons, and three were killed, leaving only one.

Hence, he harbors great hatred for Li Shiji.

"But, since I’ve already fallen into the Divine Concealment Forbidden Land and perhaps will never get out, why would King Jin go to such trouble to get me out?"

"Strange?"

Li Cunxu asked, "Did the task issuer mention the reason for capturing me?"

Ji Manfan replied, "No, they didn’t."

"You guys..."

"That’s enough, all of you shut up."

Before Li Cunxu could finish his question, Shan Feihuai interrupted with a furious shout.

Shan Feihuai was annoyed, standing right next to them, yet Li Cunxu and Ji Manfan ignored him, conducting their own question and answer session, clearly disregarding him.

"Black Knight, capture him for me."

The black motorcycle transformed like a motorbike from Transformers, turning into a standing mechanical man.

Dark purple electric arcs jumped between its metal joints, and its mechanical body made a crisp clinking sound as it extended. A cold, dim light seeped through gaps in its chest armor. When it rotated its head, the hydraulic device made a hissing noise, its eyes shining like sapphires soaked in liquid nitrogen, with cold light refracting into prism-like spots within its crystalline irises.

Cool!

Very cool!

Li Cunxu’s gaze was filled with admiration for the transforming Black Knight.

Why do so many people love mechanical pets?

The reason lies in their flashiness and style.

It’s hard for men to resist their charm.

Suddenly, a massive domain pressure came, forcing the dashing Black Knight to kneel, unable to stand.

Shan Feihuai followed the source of the domain, and when he saw Xiaoruan, his pupils constricted sharply.

Three years ago, Xiaoruan was still at Gold Nine, how could it have grown so fast now?

Shan Feihuai did not know the capabilities of the All Things Domain, and indeed, very few people did because understanding the All Things Domain required, at the very least, that a pet beast had more than ten attributes.

The Black Knight also unleashed its domain to counter.

The mechanical domain of Lord’s Pet Beast Level Seven against the All Things Domain of Lord’s Pet Beast Level Eight—the outcome was obvious.

The Black Knight was completely at a disadvantage.

"Black Knight, Iron Nail Fist."

The Black Knight’s right arm, with a trendy handlebar-shaped curve, now extended into a trident-like sharp blade, dripping molten iron that hadn’t solidified. Its body lowered slightly, its leg springs slightly compressed, and then snapped straight, jumping into the air with the super-powerful propulsion from the springs.

The trident blade on its fist, the fist flashing with dark purple electric arcs, drove towards Xiaoruan like a nail.

The Iron Nail Fist struck the metal armor enhanced by the power of All Things, only leaving a small dent.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the Black Knight was no match for Xiaoruan.

Shan Feihuai didn’t rush. The profession of bounty hunter had no ethics; encountering a Beast Master, bypassing the pet beast and directly attacking the Beast Master was standard practice.

He summoned a second pet beast, a red mechanical motorcycle robot.

"Black Knight, keep that strange Slime busy, Red Knight, go capture him for me."

The Red Knight transformed as it sped forward.

As it neared Li Cunxu, a blue light entered the Red Knight’s body, immobilizing it instantly. Due to its momentum, it flew past Li Cunxu, crashing into the mountain, accidentally killing many Little Flame Demons disguised as black stones.

The surrounding Little Flame Demons were actually awakened, but they didn’t dare move, sensing the aura of a Lord-level presence.

Demon pets typically have a trait of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

When they encounter a foe they can defeat, they bully relentlessly.

When they encounter someone they can’t beat, they become docile, even more obedient than sheep.

Shan Feihuai’s expression soured, but inside, he was utterly shocked.

Li Cunxu had two Lord’s Pet Beasts.

How long has it been?

Suddenly, something sharp touched Shan Feihuai’s neck, and his body stiffened.

"Tell your pet beasts to stop, or I’ll pierce your throat."

If they could directly attack the Beast Master, so could Li Cunxu.

Shan Feihuai gently rotated the ring on his fingertip, and a protective shield instantly appeared, knocking away the little white spider.

Bounty hunters, regarding an enemy’s direct attempt on their lives, have some defensive knowledge.

Shan Feihuai was just careless, seeing Li Cunxu as just a student; otherwise, the little white spider wouldn’t have gotten close to him.

Shan Feihuai smiled proudly, "Kid, you still need practice."

He finished speaking when suddenly a rush of heat surged up his throat, and Shan Feihuai spat out a plume of black blood.

"Poison?"

Shan Feihuai’s vision dimmed, and he fainted from the poison. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Li Cunxu shouted at the Black Knight, still scratching Xiaoruan like an itch with its Iron Nail Fist.

"Stop. You don’t want your Beast Master to die by my hand, do you?"

Although Shan Feihuai was projected into this world by the Descent Mirror, rather than being here physically, if Li Cunxu truly killed Shan Feihuai’s projected body, Shan Feihuai would die.

Injuries to the projection would appear on the real body as well.

The Descent Mirror also had the ability to prevent injuries to the projection from affecting the real body, but this ability could only be used on one person at a time.

Hearing Li Cunxu’s threat, the Black Knight decisively halted.

Unable to match the opponent and with the Beast Master in Li Cunxu’s grip, surrendering was the best choice.

Ji Manfan was immensely relieved that he had surrendered earlier; otherwise, he’d end up just like Shan Feihuai.

His overall strength was slightly inferior to Shan Feihuai’s.

Li Cunxu continued questioning Ji Manfan about the matter interrupted by Shan Feihuai earlier.

"How did you bounty hunters find me, and how did you plan to take me out?"

Ji Manfan took out a piece of white paper with the Descent Mirror’s pattern printed on it.

"The task stated that pressing this tattoo on you would bring you out."

Li Cunxu examined it closely; it was indeed the Descent Mirror’s pattern. However, while the Descent Mirror couldn’t take him out, it could summon his projection, controlling his life, since killing his projection would also lead to his death.

"So, King Jin doesn’t really want me out; he wants to control my life."

King Jin’s actions gave Li Cunxu the feeling that he intended to control his life’s fate to threaten someone.

The ’someone’ here, Li Cunxu always felt, was his grandfather Li Shiji.

"Grandfather probably encountered some changes, prompting King Jin to want to capture me to threaten grandfather."

Li Cunxu pulled out a blank contract document, wrote a strict contract on it, and handed it to Ji Manfan.

Ji Manfan focused his eyes, quickly skimming through it.

He found that while the contract was stringent without any loopholes, its demands were excessively low; as long as he didn’t reveal Li Cunxu’s information, there would be no issues.
