The Black Raven King had been running around in a panic earlier, primarily because it was startled by the appearance of the Fire Kite.
The powerful Fire Kite, upon its arrival, had incinerated numerous Black Ravens with just the flames on its body.
This immediately created an immense sense of oppression for the Black Raven King. Coupled with the fact that Blood Phantom was in the same direction, the Black Raven King mistakenly thought it was Blood Phantom, causing it to flee in a hurry.
Now that the Black Raven King had regained its composure, it realized that the one chasing it was Blood Phantom, not the powerful spiritual pet.
Naturally, it was ready to counterattack immediately.
“Squawk!!”
The Black Raven King, having stopped, quickly turned around and opened its sharp beak wide, emitting an extremely piercing and shrill cry.
Waves of sound spread out from its mouth, radiating in all directions.
If anyone were nearby, they would likely have fainted from the demonic sound assaulting their ears.
Blood Phantom, rapidly approaching the Black Raven King, felt a sudden dizziness upon hearing the shrill cry.
Its previously swift body suddenly slowed down.
As its speed decreased, Blood Phantom began to fall.
However, Blood Phantom reacted quickly, stepping on the back of a Black Raven and using the force to propel itself back up.
The earlier sonic attack was somewhat akin to a magical attack. If not for Blood Phantom’s inherent intermediate magic damage reduction, the impact would have been much more severe.
The shrill cry was a technique the Black Raven King usually used to control the Black Ravens.
Of course, it wasn’t just for controlling the Black Ravens; it also served as an unexpected attack.
Blood Phantom had suffered from this unexpected attack earlier.
But now that it was prepared, Blood Phantom paid more attention and avoided the previous mishap.
Using the force from stepping on the Black Raven, Blood Phantom once again swiftly closed in on the Black Raven King.
The Black Raven King had thought its attack was effective, seeing Blood Phantom fall earlier.
Unexpectedly, Blood Phantom quickly adjusted and counterattacked, catching the Black Raven King off guard.
Because of its carelessness, the Black Raven King didn’t dodge in time and was slashed across its wing by Blood Phantom’s claw.
“Squawk!!”
The intense pain made the Black Raven King cry out in agony, quickly ascending higher.
However, due to Blood Phantom’s attack, a large number of black feathers scattered in the sky, some even tinged with blood.
These feathers and blood naturally came from the Black Raven King.
Reacting swiftly, the Black Raven King managed to escape Blood Phantom’s attack range after just one hit.
On the airship, Ye Ling saw this scene and murmured softly.
“We’ve won.”
It wasn’t a prediction; when Blood Phantom slashed the Black Raven King’s wing, it had already infected it with corpse poison.
Even a demon of a higher level than Blood Phantom, if infected with corpse poison, would gradually be corroded over time.
The higher the level, the longer it could suppress the poison, giving it more time to expel it.
But ultimately, none could escape the invasion of corpse poison. Over time, their bodies would gradually stiffen.
If they engaged in intense activity in the meantime, it could even accelerate the poison’s spread, causing the body to stiffen faster.
In the end, the body would petrify, appearing intact on the outside but completely hardened inside.
The Black Raven King only felt pain in its wing, unaware that the corpse poison was slowly invading its body.
It wouldn’t be long before the Black Raven King succumbed to the corpse poison.
Hence, Ye Ling concluded that Blood Phantom had already won.
“It can actually injure a Second Rank demon? Amazing!”
Yun Yi’s eyes sparkled as she watched Blood Phantom in the sky. She was now considering whether she should also contract a humanoid spiritual pet.
Blood Phantom’s performance was simply too dazzling, leaving a deep impression.
Hong Xiu, who had been somewhat worried, was also surprised as she looked at Ye Ling.
She hadn’t expected Blood Phantom to unleash such power, capable of injuring a Second Rank demon.
Although it was just a low-level Second Rank demon, Blood Phantom was still a rank below the Black Raven King.
[Those two skills must be body-enhancing skills, otherwise, it couldn’t be so fast and powerful.]
Hong Xiu thought to herself.
Of course, the more outstanding Ye Ling’s performance, the happier she was.
Because Ye Ling had already been recruited by Vermilion Bird Academy, the ones who would truly regret it were the representatives of the other academies.
“Goodness! Who would have thought this kid’s spiritual pet was hiding such power? If I had known, I would have fought harder for him.”
Huo Ling bit her lip, looking somewhat frustrated.
If the academy had been a bit more generous, Ye Ling would have surely joined her academy.
But unfortunately, the academy wouldn’t approve of Huo Ling’s request.
So now, all Huo Ling could do was sigh in regret.
In the sky, Blood Phantom hadn’t given up on attacking the Black Raven King.
Although the opponent was infected with corpse poison, it wouldn’t die immediately.
To hasten its death, it needed to keep the Black Raven King moving.
