223 The Air Trembled, And Dark Light Bloomed

…However, the wolves were in hot pursuit.

…

Inside the mountain range, the howling of wolves could be heard echoing through the canyon valley.

At the sound, the wolves gathered from all over the place.

Shen Fei’s eyes flashed coldly as he looked at the Wolf King, the leader of the pack. “You lured the wolves here to attack us!”

There were still traces of blood on the canyon’s stone walls. They were the remains of the three academy students they had lost.

With a thought, the Flame Owl flew back and perched on his shoulder.

Shen Fei’s eyes narrowed as he activated his spirit beast’s bloodline. “Flame Owl, Flaming Bramble Inferno!”

The Flame Owl’s wings spread out, turning into a cloud of fire. Red feathers extended from the monstrous firestorm. Then, the feathers fell to the ground, forming a roiling sea of fire.

When the flames appeared, the wolves immediately howled. Although they were ferocious, they were still afraid of fire. The wolves could only avoid it, and were kept at bay.

The students secretly rejoiced at this. These flames were enough to kill even ordinary Beastmasters.

Seeing how the wolves were all packed densely together, the students all revealed looks of respect.

“This guy’s methods are much more brilliant than I thought.” Li Yuan’s face was also full of respect.

However, he turned to look ahead before heading straight into the depths of the canyon.

The others were dumbfounded. They did not know why he ran in that direction. And while everyone was in a state of shock, the wolves began to cry out once more. The pack leaped up and charged toward Li Yuan.

Seeing this, Li Yuan sneered. “Heh, since you’re looking for death, I’ll happily send you to your reincarnations!”

He started to form seals with his hands. Immediately, the air trembled and dark light bloomed out—Li Yuan had summoned his Silver Snow Tiger.

The Silver Snow Tiger treaded the air. Its silvery white fur was covered in intertwining inscriptions, and they glowed with a hazy splendor, emitting vast fluctuations.

“Silver Moon Slash!”

Li Yuan’s hands moved and silver light glowed out of the Silver Snow Tiger’s back. Runes swirled around its abdomen, turning into a crystalline sword made from snow.

The Silver Snow Tiger flapped its wings and swooped down like a stream of light, slashing at a golden-furred wolf below. The wolf raised its claws and tried to bite at the Silver Snow Tiger, but the tiger dodged the wolf’s claws and avoided the attack.

In the next moment, its two-meter-long tail swayed, and ruthlessly smacked the golden-furred wolf. The wolf was knocked over and fell heavily to the ground, dead.

“What a powerful attack!”

Li Yuan grinned.

The Silver Snow Tiger’s tail was incredibly tough and fast. If a creature was hit, it would either die, or lose a layer of flesh.

“Howl!”

Seeing this, the other wolves that had been preparing to attack Li Yuan wailed as if they felt fear. Looking at their terrified appearance, Li Yuan laughed.

“Haha! Did you see that? You animals are only subpar! I, Li Yuan, am here. How are you going to bully me now, huh?”

His face was full of arrogance. His voice reverberated through the area with cold indifference.

“None of you shall leave this place alive today.”

The moment he finished speaking, ripples appeared in the path ahead. Li Yuan’s eyes glimmered as he hurriedly commanded the Silver Snow Tiger to attack, “Silver Snow Tiger, Icicle Roar!”

The Silver Snow Tiger roared at the sky, the sound waves rolling like thunder. Hundreds of wolves shrieked in pain under the reverberations, and eventually dropped dead from the intensity. Numerous wolves were killed in an instant.

Seeing this, the onlookers were frightened. “So powerful!” These two youths were too strong. Everyone was too afraid to fight with them.

The onslaught terrified the wolves, and even the ones that were hiding in the dark retreated.

“Let’s go!” Li Yuan said in a low voice, then took everyone and fled. Those who followed him felt their hearts beating erratically.

The wolves had been worried that Shen Fei was the only one who could kill them. He was too powerful; the power of his bloodline was completely beyond them.

At that moment, Shen Fei ordered the Flame Owl to continue attacking the wolf pack.

“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!” he ordered.

“Coo, coo!” The Flame Owl let out a cry. Then, it spread its wings and spewed out searing hot flames. The fire swept out and enveloped the wolves, burning their bodies.

“Heavens, what kind of spirit beast is that? It can actually spit fire!”

“The Flame Owl is a fire-attribute spirit beast.”

The students in the distance were stunned and speechless. The wolves were all killed in the fire.

After killing the wolves, Shen Fei stopped using his sacred art. He wiped the sweat off his forehead. “We finally finished off the wolf pack.”

Then, he frowned and mumbled, “These wolves weren’t that simple. They were certainly not easy to deal with… Or rather, this is their lair; we’re on their home ground.”

Shen Fei’s eyes flashed. In his eyes, the wolves were like an army instead of ordinary savage beasts. But at this moment, he could not find a more accurate answer.

After pondering for a moment, Shen Fei ordered the other youths, “Xia’er, Li Yuan, you two take the right. Mi Li’er, Gao Jiaxu, you two take the left. Zhang Yuxin and I will take the middle path. As you already know, exercise the utmost caution. There aren’t just wolves here, but ferocious birds as well. We have to leave the area first before anything else.”

“Roger!” The other youths agreed and separated. All of them had experienced life and death situations, so they knew how to cooperate with each other. Shen Fei, on the other hand, headed right into the canyon.

The canyon valley was deep and dark, and the wind howled, accompanied by the roars of wild beasts. The more they walked, the more uneasy Zhang Yuxin felt.

“We won’t encounter any more ferocious spirit beasts, will we?” Zhang Yuxin’s eyes blinked rapidly as this thought came to mind.

At this, Shen Fei said calmly, “Naturally, we’ll meet a few, but… they should just be low-ranked beasts.”

“Okay…” Hearing this, Zhang Yuxin nodded, and she stopped being afraid.

Because Shen Fei was powerful, he could protect her. This fact made her feel a little safer.

The valley was quiet, and they occasionally heard the chirping of birds. After walking for fifteen minutes, they managed to pass through the forest without encountering any danger.

“There’s another stretch of forest ahead. But there’s a miasma there, so we can’t stay long. Let’s take a break…”
