Chapter 229 - 229 Thorn Cage

229 Thorn Cage

“How is this possible?” Lear was stunned, his face full of shock. He had spent a lot of effort to get this demonic crystal.

It was a pity that he had no time to remain rational in such a situation… because his soul had been destroyed.

Lear roared. “No, I’m not willing to give up! My demonic crystal… My Beastkin race’s secret technique…”

Then, the Flame Owl and Black Sun attacked Lear again. When the two struck, a majestic force spread out from the impact.

“Ptooie!” Under such power, blood spurted out of the Beastkin’s mouth, and his body was sent a few hundred meters away. A crash was heard as Lear fell onto the rocks in the valley.

At this moment, Lear’s clothes were completely torn, revealing his bloodstained skin.

“Hahaha, Shen Fei… How can you make a fool out of me again and again?”

Lear stood up from the rubble. His hair was disheveled, and he looked absolutely wrecked. His eyes were still flickering with a ferocious glint, filled with resentment.

“Hmph, because we’re destined to be enemies!” Hearing this, Shen Fei said, “You must die today!”

Lear spat out, “Haha, ‘destined to be enemies’, well said!” Then, a monstrously evil aura emerged from his body. “Today, I will let the world know that anyone who offends me shall be executed!”

He continued, “I will step on the bones of heroes to prove my existence. I will step on everyone’s bones to reach greater heights.”

Lear had gone crazy. Everything had happened too suddenly. First, he was defeated by the trash Shen Fei, and now he was in such a predicament. This was something he could not accept.

“Today, either one of us must die!” Lear bellowed. His eyes were red, and his entire body was filled with demonic power. His blood was boiling. At this moment, he had completely fallen into a state of madness. He wanted to kill Shen Fei, even if he had to die here.

A wisp of black mist appeared behind Lear. The mist gathered to form a hazy shadow that shrouded his body.

“Demonic Qi has entered my body; I’ll burn my life force to obtain powerful combat strength!” Lear said, and his body emitted wisps of demonic Qi.

As the demonic Qi swirled, it turned into flames, and Lear’s entire person seemed to have turned into a fire god.

“Kill!” Lear’s eyes were bloodshot from murderous rage. He strode forward and went straight for Shen Fei.

His aura rose to terrifying levels, far beyond that of an embryonic soul cultivator. “Hmm, not bad. I’ve actually improved by burning my blood essence.”

When Lear flew toward him, Shen Fei was slightly surprised. However, he did not have any fear. He made a hand gesture, and the Flame Owl and Black Sun brought over a sea of fire and a heated storm to suppress him. Suddenly, the air trembled with their combined presence.

When the two ancient beasts attacked, Lear raised his hand. He stretched out his right hand and slapped the Flame Owl, while his left hand turned into a fist and punched the Black Sun.

His hit was so strong that the Flame Owl was forced back, and its wings were torn. Not only that, the scorching wave of fire also dissipated.

Using such an attack quickly exhausted Lear’s demonic Qi. After all, he had a second demonic crystal, and this crystal contained demonic essence, but the consumption was huge. Even so, he managed to send the spirit beast flying.

He also managed to destroy two-thirds of the Black Sun. However, the flames were still blooming, and the hot fluctuations made Lear frown.

In the confrontation earlier, Lear had felt an inexplicable pressure. It was as if the other party’s attack was even fiercer than his, which made his heart jump in anticipation.

Still, he had his demonic crystal! Under such circumstances, how could this young man actually compete against him? Lear found it preposterous.

‘This young man is indeed extraordinary,’ Lear thought to himself. ‘This demonic crystal is certainly acting strange.’ As Lear’s mind was racing, Shen Fei had meanwhile made his move as he urged the Flame Owl and the Black Sun to attack.

Demonic Qi filled the air, forming a monstrous demonic sea. The sea churned as thought it was about to drown the mountains and rivers. The demonic Qi was burning, causing the space in front of them to collapse.

The area was completely annihilated, unable to withstand such a heavy demonic force.

“Flame Owl, Flaming Bramble Inferno!” Shen Fei shouted.

The Flame Owl flapped its wings and flew in, shooting out like a cannonball. The entire void was ignited, and the fiery waves surged and swept in all directions.

The firebird circled around as a ferocious fireball, releasing a shocking aura. In the next second, thorny brambles appeared from the ground. Their sharp thorns grew in all directions, and they had somehow evolved to possess a corrosive venom that flowed through them. It was a truly lethal poison.

Apart from that, there was also fire that accompanied the brambles.

This is the most powerful joint attack of the Flame Owl and Black Sun, Thorn Cage! It was formed by two different types of flames, one Yin and one Yang, complementing each other. This kind of joint attack was simply too overpowering.

“You want to take me down with this joint attack technique? Dream on!”

Lear laughed coldly. Demonic Qi was flowing all over his body like a dragon, slashing at the nearby plants like a sword. When the plants were crushed and turned into ash, Lear’s figure drifted away, avoiding the attacks. He simultaneously took a step forward and rushed in. His speed was so fast that he seemed to teleport in front of Shen Fei.

He pointed out with his finger, and a ghostly light shot out, aimed straight at Shen Fei’s throat.

“What a strange movement technique!” Shen Fei’s heart jumped as he stomped on the ground. Then, the Flame Owl’s shadow appeared above his back, and Shen Fei spread his wings and flew up. He and the Flame Owl rose up and moved in and almost seemed to merge together.

The flaming being spread its wings and soared straight up to meet the finger that Lear had pointed out. When they touched, there was a spark!

Shen Fei’s finger was burnt and black smoke wafted out. But he was not afraid.

Lear looked at Shen Fei with a smirk. “Shen Fei, what do you have to fight me with?”

“Heh, let’s see.” In the next second, Shen Fei rode on the Black Sun’s back and quickly flew toward Lear. He swooped down, his right hand clenched, and his five fingers were spread out like an eagle’s talon.

Then, he clawed at Lear ruthlessly. This was Shen Fei’s Grappling Hand, which he was already quite skilled at. When he used this technique, it was as smooth as flowing water.

Lear snorted. “Come, then!”

On his forehead, the demonic mark squirmed, and a huge skeleton floated behind him. The skull opened its mouth and spat out a mouthful of demonic Qi.

That demonic Qi was like a sharp bladed arrow, and it went straight for Shen Fei’s arm…
