Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 574 - 518: Brazen Robbery

Chu Chen looked at the shocked Purple Bamboo Demon King, but he had no intention of explaining, instead directly instructing Lei Yao to attack it.

The enormous Thunder Fist, a hundred meters in size, barreled directly towards the Purple Bamboo Demon King.

The Purple Bamboo Demon King’s expression changed abruptly at the sight, not daring to take any chances, and hastily conjured up a massive wooden shield to block in front of it.

"Boom"

With a loud crash, the enormous wooden shield shattered instantly, and the Thunder Fist struck the bamboo joint with immense power.

Amidst the crackling sounds, thunder dragons roamed over the Purple Bamboo Demon King’s body as it let out a pained howl.

After the thunder dragons disappeared, a massive fist imprint appeared on the Purple Bamboo Demon King’s body, surrounded by charred black thunder patterns.

"This... this is impossible, how can its aura have increased to this extent."

Chu Chen heard this and replied in a deep voice, "Seems you still don’t believe it, let’s let Lei Yao throw a few more punches."

The Purple Bamboo Demon King panicked immediately upon hearing this, not doubting but found it hard to accept.

"Wait, I didn’t mean that, I believe, isn’t what you said earlier still valid?" The Purple Bamboo Demon King said fearfully.

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen showed a hint of delight but did not show it, pretending to seem conflicted, "It’s not impossible, but my Guardian Beasts are all extremely irritable, your actions just now have angered them, and I’m afraid this matter won’t end well."

As Chu Chen finished speaking, Lei Yao and the other beasts immediately roared in anger, Lei Yao even gathering the Power of Thunder, ready to strike at any moment.

Lei Yao and the other beasts shared a spiritual bond with Chu Chen, naturally understanding the master’s intentions.

The Purple Bamboo Demon King hurriedly shouted, "I’m willing to apologize, I’ve never harmed humans in this Purple Bamboo Valley, if you insist on acting against me, I swear the Purple Bamboo Valley will join the Star Beast Alliance."

Chu Chen’s face turned cold upon hearing this, his gaze becoming increasingly murderous.

Whether the Purple Bamboo Demon King was deliberately acting ignorantly or truly naive, given its current predicament, it dared to threaten him.

Speaking of this, in truth one couldn’t blame the Purple Bamboo Demon King, as it had remained in the Purple Bamboo Valley since birth, never interacting with humans; if not for Long Batian and others accidentally discovering here, it would never have encountered humans.

An uninformed Star Beast cannot understand Chu Chen’s insinuations.

"It seems you haven’t recognized the situation clearly; with my strength, I could slaughter the entire Purple Bamboo Valley in less than three days. Nirvana, summon the Undead Army," Chu Chen said coldly.

Nirvana dared not hesitate, and slowly revived the million undead, encircling all Emperor Level and above Purple Bamboo Demons.

The Purple Bamboo Demon King maximized its perception, its bamboo leaves moving automatically without wind, its body trembling slightly, a terrified face simulated on a bamboo stalk.

Sister Zixuan seized the moment and stoked the fire, "Why waste words with them, just kill them all, their purple bamboo shoots are ours."

Chu Chen nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this, Sister Zixuan’s words not only fanned the flames but also clarified his purpose.

At that moment, the Purple Bamboo Demon King finally understood what Chu Chen meant earlier.

"You want the purple bamboo shoots, that’s impossible."

Chu Chen sighed regretfully in response, "I’m not a bloodthirsty person, but unfortunately, there are always some unreciprocated individuals. Sister Zixuan, you’re right, just kill them, and those purple bamboo shoots will be ours to dispose of."

"No, you can’t do that, those purple bamboo shoots are incredibly important to us," the Purple Bamboo Demon King roared.

"Oh, tell me," Chu Chen said, intrigued.

The Purple Bamboo Demon King didn’t hide it and directly said, "The purple bamboo shoots are of great significance to us, they can be our offspring or even a second life."

Chu Chen furrowed his brows upon hearing this, "I understand the purple bamboo shoots being your offspring, but what does the second life mean?"

After brief contemplation, the Purple Bamboo Demon King quickly replied, "If we die unexpectedly, we can integrate our consciousness into the purple bamboo shoots."

Chu Chen felt shocked upon hearing this, this Purple Bamboo Demon indeed had such means.

However, what does this have to do with him; after all, he came for the purple bamboo shoots.

Chu Chen did not wish to waste more time with the Purple Bamboo Demon King, coldly stared at the opponent and said, "I’ll give you two choices: first, hand over all Emperor Level and above purple bamboo shoots; second, I’ll kill all of you and take them myself, your choice."

The Purple Bamboo Demon King turned ashen upon hearing this, realizing there was only one choice despite being given two.

After a brief silence, the Purple Bamboo Demon King had no choice but to concede.

The purple bamboo shoots were precious, but compared to life, what were they; moreover, purple bamboo shoots were autonomously bred, perhaps they’d simply breed another later.

It let out a reluctant low howl, "Take out the purple bamboo shoots." With that, it painfully uprooted the purple bamboo shoot behind it.

This purple bamboo shoot was enormous, the thickest part around half a meter wide, with a height of two meters, and entirely crystalline purple.

Chu Chen didn’t check too closely, simply waved his hand to store this purple bamboo shoot.

The other Purple Bamboo Demons seeing this, realizing they couldn’t escape, could only hand over their purple bamboo shoots tearfully.

Chu Chen inventoried his gains: nine pieces of Emperor Level purple bamboo shoots, and thirty-five of late-stage Emperor Level purple bamboo shoots.

Looking at the excited expressions on the three faces, the Purple Bamboo Demon King said icily, "You’ve gotten the spoils, aren’t you leaving?"

Chu Chen shook his head upon hearing this, "Not in a rush, I have one more thing to discuss with the Demon King."

"What? Don’t go too far, you’ve got the purple bamboo shoots, what more do you want?"

Chu Chen smiled and waved his hand in response, "Don’t be impatient, I just want your subordinates to spar with this lady beside me."

Upon hearing this, the Purple Bamboo Demon King breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That’s fine, but don’t harm its life."

"Rest assured, I’m always soft-hearted."

The Purple Bamboo Demon King was speechless upon hearing this, cursing Chu Chen inwardly for being shameless.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t the opponent’s match; otherwise, it would have let them know why the flowers were so red.

"Select an opponent," Chu Chen turned smilingly and said.

Sister Zixuan nodded at this, giving Chu Chen a grateful glance before pointing to an Emperor Level First Rank Purple Bamboo Demon on the left, "That one."

Upon hearing this, Chu Chen immediately had Nirvana withdraw the Undead Army, then instructed the Purple Bamboo Demon King to dismiss its subordinates to make room for Sister Zixuan to battle.
