Chapter 187 - 187 Letting Lear Off

187 Letting Lear Off

The Black Sun grinned and revealed a ferocious smile. Its mouth opened slightly, and purple-red flames gushed out, turning into a purple-red fireball that came flying at Lear.

Whoosh!

The searing waves of burning energy emitted by the fireball wreaked havoc to the surroundings, and it was enough to scare away any living creature with its dangerous ferocity.

‘It’s too hot! Too hot!’ Lear was shocked. ‘No, I have to evade it!’ Lear gritted his teeth and immediately turned to run the other direction.

Although Lear’s speed was not slow, he still could not evade the Black Sun’s fireball. Lear was not too far away, and his back was facing the Black Sun, so he could not avoid it at all.

“Extinguish!” Lear suddenly shouted in a low voice. He transferred all the strength in his body to his arms and punched out with both fists. In an instant, his fists emitted a dazzling radiance like two golden suns, and they collided heavily with the fireball.

Boom!

The fireball suddenly exploded and sparks flew everywhere. The violent force swept out uncontrollably. Lear was forced to retreat a few hundred meters, coughing out blood.

If he had not blocked in time, he would have been crushed into pieces.

‘How did this beast’s strength suddenly increase so much?!’ Lear’s brows furrowed slightly. He was rather fearful. The scorching temperature of the Black Sun was a little unbearable for Lear. ‘It is truly a Duke-rank spirit beast. It has such terrifying power!’

“Lear, I didn’t want to fight with you before, but you tried to kill me again and again. If that’s the case, then there’s no need for me to show mercy!” Shen Fei said.

Whoosh!

Shen Fei suddenly moved with shocking speed. Lear’s heart plummeted, and his expression changed slightly. He knew that Shen Fei was very powerful, but he did not expect Shen Fei’s speed to be far beyond his expectations!

In the blink of an eye, Shen Fei appeared in front of Lear. Lear was unable to track Shen Fei’s figure; it was too fast to follow with just his eyes alone!

Lear’s pupils strained to lock on him despite his shock. Shen Fei’s speed made it look like he was teleporting!

“So fast!” Lear’s face was filled with horror. There was no way to escape, and he could only block!

“Roar!” Lear roared and threw a punch with all his might.

Their fists collided, and in an instant, the crisp sound of bones breaking was accompanied by a shrill scream that resounded through the forest.

“Argh!”

Lear was immediately sent flying. His body was covered in cracks and his skin fell off. His entire right hand was crippled!

Lear’s face was blank aside from a semi-permanent look of shock. He could hardly believe it!

‘This guy is too terrifying.’ Lear’s face was pale, and his eyes were full of fear.

In their battle, Lear was completely crushed by Shen Fei. He did not even have the chance to struggle. The difference was too great!

“Lear, you’ve lost,” Shen Fei said indifferently. His tone was calm, and there was not a trace of doubt in it.

The Black Sun and the Flame Owl let out low noises of their own, as if they were mocking Lear. The Black Sun and the Flame Owl’s strengths were not to be underestimated. Furthermore, they were Shen Fei’s pets. Their combat strength could be said to be frightening.

The Black Sun spewed out a mouthful of flames that encircled Lear. It opened its mouth wide and released its poisonous liquid. In an instant, a green poisonous mist spread out. The poisonous mist corroded the trees and grass in the area, and was extremely brutal.

The poisonous mist enveloped Lear. His body trembled constantly, and his entire body was numb and weak.

“Lear, do you admit defeat?” Shen Fei asked.

“No! I can’t lose!” Lear growled out.

“Hehe…” Shen Fei shook his head and slowly raised his palm. His palm held out to the Black Sun and the Flame Owl, and said, “Return!”

With a thought from Shen Fei, the Flame Owl obediently flew into his sleeve and into the pocket realm.

“I’ll let you off today since you’re Aloy’s uncle.”

After he said these words, Shen Fei jumped onto the Black Sun, and flew away on it, gradually disappearing from Lear’s vision.

Lear stood rooted to the spot, stunned. After a long time, he finally recovered his senses.

The scene just now was like a dream. That strange speed completely subverted Lear’s world-view.

Shen Fei’s strength was unfamiliar to Lear.

…

It was already late at night when they returned to the Shen residence.

“Phew, I’m finally back.” Shen Fei heaved a sigh of relief and lay on his bed to rest.

Shen Fei was not interested in the outcome of the battle earlier. He was more interested in Lear’s reaction.

“That dumb*ss Lear must have been scared silly,” Shen Fei muttered to himself. He closed his eyes and entered his cultivation state.

The next morning, Shen Fei woke up early.

He opened the door and walked into the courtyard. A cool breeze blew in his face, making him feel relaxed.

“…Huh?”

Shen Fei suddenly noticed a beautiful figure walking to him. The girl wore a long white dress. She looked sweet and had exquisite facial features. With her fair and tender skin, she was like a fairy from a painting—ethereal and beautiful.

This person was none other than Aloy.

“Shen Fei.” She walked to Shen Fei’s side and took off her sunglasses.

“What’s wrong?” Shen Fei did not understand why Aloy came to find him so early in the morning.

“Shen Fei, come with me to a banquet.” Aloy smiled, her pretty face brimming with happiness.

“A banquet?” Shen Fei was startled and a little confused.

“My father is holding a Beastmaster gathering in the mansion, and he invited all the Beastmasters in the city. Aren’t you going?” Aloy asked.

Hearing this, Shen Fei shook his head. “No.”

Aloy frowned and asked unhappily, “Why?”

Shen Fei shrugged his shoulders. “I still have things to do.”

Seeing Shen Fei’s attitude, Aloy pouted and said, “If you don’t want to go, then you don’t have to go. Why are you making up excuses? Hmph.”

Aloy turned to leave, looking very unhappy.

“Hey! I really do have something to do!” Shen Fei explained.

“You should go, even if you have something going on!” Aloy said angrily without even turning her head.

“Sigh…” Shen Fei was depressed. He did not know what Aloy’s motive was, but he knew that Aloy seemed to have some enmity toward him.

However, Shen Fei did not take it to heart.

“…Fine.”

Aloy nodded, turned around, and walked into the Shen residence. She took out a new set of clothes and passed it to Shen Fei. “Change into this. I bought this especially for you. You’ll definitely look very handsome in it.” Aloy giggled.

Shen Fei took the clothes and examined the black robe. He touched it and muttered, “The material is quite soft, it must be very comfortable to wear.”

“Shen Fei, hurry up and get changed. Don’t dawdle,” Aloy urged.

“Alright, alright.” Shen Fei hurriedly changed into the new clothes.

After he was done changing, Shen Fei was stunned. After he put on his new clothes, he did indeed look handsome and confident. When he straightened his posture, he would give people the feeling as though they were looking up at a tall mountain.

A bright smile appeared on his handsome face; he looked dazzling when he smiled.
