Chapter 226 - 226 Forbidden Secret Technique
“This…” Zhang Yuxin’s eyes opened wide at this, wearing a look of disbelief.
‘Shen Fei is actually this strong! That aura is too terrifying.’
While Zhang Yuxin was in her daze, a muffled sound was heard as Lear finally stabilized himself. After he steadied his body, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth, and his eyes were scarlet. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage in this collision.
“Shen Fei, you really deserve to die!” Lear roared.
“If you really have the ability, then take out your trump card and fight. Stop wasting my time!” Shen Fei indifferently said.
Hmph, I admit that you’ve become stronger, but do you really think that you can look down on me like this?” Lear said through gritted teeth.
“I’m not looking down on you, I’m just too lazy to talk nonsense with you!” Shen Fei said callously.
“You…!” Hearing this, Lear was furious. “Then, I’d like to see what level you’ve reached now!” His eyes were cold as he attacked again.
Boom!
Lear’s body moved, turning into an afterimage as he leaped at Shen Fei again. A ferocious tiger roared behind him. Its claws were as sharp as divine weapons. When the claw reached out, the space seemed to collapse.
Shen Fei continued to point his finger out, blocking Lear’s attack. However, Lear took the opportunity to spit out blood, which fell from the sky like meteorites.
The blood contained a shocking amount of power. Every drop of it could suppress mountains and rivers. As the blood fell, they turned into bladed rays and slashed down at Shen Fei. Wherever the blade-rays passed, the air seemed to crack. The power was even stronger than before.
Feeling the aura of the sword light, Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed. “What a terrifying blood Qi power!”
Then, he stomped on the ground and moved sideways, avoiding the blade-rays.
“You can’t hide!” Seeing this, Lear’s mouth curved into a sinister smile. He swept his tail out like a spear and pierced toward Shen Fei’s chest.
At this, Shen Fei quickly summoned the Flame Owl.
“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!”
A deep sound rang out. The Flame Owl swooped down and directly struck Lear’s body.
Wham!
The flames flared out, and Lear spat blood out from the impact.
“What a powerful Flame Owl.” Lear’s heart trembled. He quickly collected his thoughts and attacked the Flame Owl with all his strength.
The Flame Owl charged at him with incredible ferocity, destroying Lear’s attack and leaving him in a wretched state.
“It’s time to end this!” Shen Fei’s eyes flashed. He jumped and landed on the back of the Flame Owl.
The Flame Owl spread its wings and flew high up. It flapped its wings, bringing with it monstrous flames. Then, it swooped down and charged toward Lear.
“I took my eyes off you for a few days and your trash Flame Owl actually transformed into this.” Lear was surprised. “It’s a pity that it’s only an ordinary beast. It can’t do anything to me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, a demonic mark appeared between Lear’s brows. His body turned black, and a monstrous killing intent spread out from him.
“Demon Body!”
Lear’s eyes flashed, and a specter behind him took a step forward. This phantom was very tall—about three meters tall. It punched out, and a billowing murderous aura spread out like a chaotic tide.
The Flame Owl’s huge body was sent flying, and its flame dimmed.
“Break it!” Lear shouted. The specter behind him stepped forward and punched the Flame Owl’s abdomen. With a crack, the bones under the Flame Owl’s iron-hard abdomen were broken, and it was sent flying a few meters back.
The air trembled, and a vast force wave swept out when the Flame Owl crashed.
The force wave itself was so strong that it almost seemed to annihilate everything in its path. The phantom’s power could compel others to kneel down and worship it.
“What a powerful force!” Zhang Yuxin’s heart was beating so fast that she had difficulty breathing. This aura made her feel like she could be crushed to death at any moment. “This is the combat strength of an Emperor-tier Beastmaster! It’s not something anyone can withstand!”
Zhang Yuxin’s eyes dimmed. She could not help but worry for Shen Fei. After Lear displayed this move, would Shen Fei still be able to resist that phantom?
Whoosh!
The specter behind Lear disappeared. A pair of wings then appeared on his back and he flew up.
“That was just a warm-up.” Lear floated in mid-air and looked down at Shen Fei. He said coldly, “Next, I will let you understand the difference between us!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lear’s body bloomed with a red glow as his blood began to boil
“How could this Lear have such pure blood Qi?” Zhang Yuxin was shocked. At this moment, she could clearly feel the majestic aura that Lear was releasing.
“It seems that this guy has used some kind of forbidden secret technique,” Zhang Yuxin muttered in her heart. “But so what if he uses a forbidden technique? Teacher Shen is not a normal cultivator!”
Although she did not personally witness Shen Fei’s rise, she knew from rumors that Shen Fei was once a top genius. He might even have the strength to compete with a king of martial cultivation.
“Teacher Shen will definitely not lose.” Zhang Yuxin clenched her deli fists. After taking a deep breath, her heart gradually calmed down. Then, she continued to observe the battle.
Shen Fei laughed and ignored Lear. Instead, he was observing some runes.
“Are you admiring this?” Suddenly, the corners of Lear’s mouth curled up slightly, revealing a devilish smile. With a wave of his hand, the runes squirmed like fish and gathered on Lear’s right arm, before condensing in his left hand.
Then, he gently touched his left arm and imprinted the runes there. When the runes on the arm were completely imprinted, the aura of his arm suddenly changed.
“This is…” Seeing this, Shen Fei’s heart trembled. His eyes flickered as he looked at Lear.
Looking at the young man in front of him, Lear grinned. “Not bad. You actually managed to learn the basics of my forbidden secret technique. How about this? I’ll let you live after I defeat you!”
“A forbidden technique?” Hearing these four words, Zhang Yuxin blinked her beautiful eyes for the umpteenth time. She stared at Lear, her eyelids twitching.
‘No wonder he’s so confident this time. So he’s using a forbidden secret technique, after all!’ Zhang Yuxin thought to herself.
Forbidden secret techniques were taboo for Beastmasters. It was extremely difficult to cultivate, and one would have to pay a huge price for it.
This was also one of the reasons why it was targeted by many great sects toward the end of the ancient era. This was because once someone acquired a forbidden secret technique, their offensive power would exceed that of ordinary people. In fact, even an ordinary Emperor-tier would find it difficult to fight against a forbidden secret technique user, and could be killed in seconds.
Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed and said, “Since you’ve used the forbidden secret technique, then come! This is your only chance to win!
“Arrogant!” Lear’s face was dark. He snorted coldly and strode forward. Then, his body flickered and turned into a ray of light. He flitted through the space and appeared in front of Shen Fei.
