415 The Abyssal Canyon
Qian Yu and Aloy looked at the flame lotus with frozen expressions.
“Run!” Shen Fei said decisively.
They turned around and prepared to flee.
At that moment, the Emperor’s Fire Lotus shot forward with an unstoppable momentum. It charged at Shen Fei and the other two with a terrifying pressure that distorted the air.
The power of the Emperor’s Fire Lotus was too fearsome. Shen Fei, Aloy, and Qian Yu felt like they were suffocating.
Boom!
In the next second, there was a thunderclap as lightning struck the spot where Shen Fei and the other two had stood. The area exploded, forming a huge pit. They were all covered in dust and dirt from the explosion, and they were sent flying from the impact.
“Cough cough!” Shen Fei coughed lightly. That attack had almost killed them!
At this moment, Aloy coughed up some blood. Her face was pale and her body was trembling.
Shen Fei looked at her and asked, “How are you?”
Aloy shook her head. “I’m fine. I won’t die!”
Shen Fei said, “Why do you always like to act brave?”
“I like to.” Aloy managed to give a pout.
In the next moment, a series of violent explosions rang out. The Hoofed Soul Beast’s body was rapidly expanding. The flames released from its body became more and more terrifying as its aura radiated from its body.
Shen Fei saw all this and said with a very serious expression, “Hurry, we need to leave!”
He knew that the Hoofed Soul Beast was about to undergo a complete transformation.
Aloy’s expression had also turned serious as she said, “Let’s go.”
The three of them turned around and fled.
…
Shen Fei and the others managed to escape the building just in time. A group of Hoofed Soul Beasts shrouded in thick flames and terrifying auras suddenly appeared.
“Not good. Shen Fei and Aloy, you two leave first. I’ll deal with this!” Qian Yu said.
Shen Fei glanced at Qian Yu. “No!” he said flatly.
The two of them were like brothers who had been through thick and thin together. How could Shen Fei abandon his companion and leave him alone in such a situation? Never!
“What are you waiting for? If you want to live, run!” Qian Yu berated, urging Shen Fei and Aloy to flee.
Soon after, the Hoofed Soul Beasts had caught up to the group. Qian Yu smiled bitterly.
The Hoofed Soul Beasts’ strength was comparable to an enlightened realm cultivator. Fighting a few Hoofed Soul Beasts with his level of strength was simply courting death.
Meanwhile, the three of them tried their best to find an escape route. Soon, they found an escape route into the abyssal canyon.
Boom!
Suddenly, a thunderous sound came from the abyss canyon. The Hoofed Soul Beasts managed to follow them into the canyon. Waves of flames swept toward Shen Fei and the other two. It was as if the flames had a mind of their own and wished to incinerate them.
In an instant, there were three earth-shattering explosions that came from the abyssal canyon. Endless energy waves spread out and covered the entire area.
“You two, leave quickly!” Qian Yu yelled.
“Alright, but you have to hang in there. We’re all going back alive!” Shen Fei said solemnly.
He pulled Aloy and ran. Very soon, they disappeared from sight.
Rumble…
A moment later, a series of thunderclaps came from the abyssal canyon. Then, a huge figure flew into the air. It was the Hoofed Soul Beast. At this moment, the flames surrounding it had already completely faded. Its body had grown another few centimeters taller, and its fur had turned purplish gold. Its eyes were filled with a chilling light, and it could make anyone feel as if they were looking at a demon in hell.
The Hoofed Soul Beast’s entire body was filled with a terrifying and scorching energy aura. Its strength was only a step away from the supreme realm. Moreover, its body had also become harder.
Even a peak supreme realm cultivator, or an intermediary Saint-tier Beastmaster, would not be able to break through its defense.
The Hoofed Soul Beast scanned the surroundings and spotted Qian Yu’s figure. Then, it roared angrily. It waved its huge claws and ruthlessly attacked Qian Yu.
Seeing the oncoming Hoofed Soul Beast’s attack, Qian Yu’s brows furrowed tightly, and his eyes twinkled.
“Burning Heavenly Fingerstrike!” Qian Yu shouted.
He used the Burning Heavenly Fingerstrike and mobilized all his fire-element power to attack the Hoofed Soul Beast.
Qian Yu’s Burning Heavenly Fingerstrike immediately crashed with the Hoofed Soul Beast’s sharp claws, and a great explosion ensued. However, the Hoofed Soul Beast’s sharp claws suddenly burst out with terrifying energy.
Qian Yu’s body trembled. His body was sent flying by the terrifying power of the Hoofed Soul Beast’s claws, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Qian Yu was severely injured, and his face was as white as paper.
Qian Yu hurriedly summoned his spirit beast, “Demonic Cloud Leopard, use A Thousand Transient Blades!”
Suddenly, an ear-piercing howl rang out as a Demonic Cloud Leopard with thick snow-white fur appeared in front of Qian Yu. This was a spirit beast that Qian Yu had obtained not long ago. Its combat strength was comparable to a first-tier emperor realm cultivator. Moreover, the Demonic Cloud Leopard’s eyes were blood-red. It also had nine bone spikes on its back, each one emitting a terrifying aura.
It bared its fangs, displaying their sharpness as it stared at the Hoofed Soul Beast with its bloodthirsty eyes. The Demonic Cloud Leopard hissed at the Hoofed Soul Beast. Its body was like a tank as it charged toward it.
The two beasts collided, and more explosions shook the surrounding terrain. Boiling flames and incredible energy swept out. The air became distorted with power, and the entire canyon was engulfed by the flames.
The explosive attacks caused the canyon to collapse. The Hoofed Soul Beast and the Demonic Cloud Leopard were also sent flying. The Demonic Cloud Leopard coughed up blood as it was knocked back hundreds of meters. But the Hoofed Soul Beast was unscathed, and landed on the ground without a problem.
Seeing this, Qian Yu frowned. “Demonic Cloud Leopard! Use an illusion to disrupt its will and attack its weakness!” he called out.
The Demonic Cloud Leopard immediately executed the described secret technique. It closed its eyes, and when it opened them again, they had turned blood-red.
A terrifying illusory energy erupted from its body. The Hoofed Soul Beast’s eyes immediately became dazed. Its consciousness was controlled by the illusory energy.
When he saw that the Hoofed Soul Beast’s consciousness was being controlled, Qian Yu’s expression turned serious. “Now!”
He controlled the Demonic Cloud Leopard to charge in and attack the Hoofed Soul Beast.
“Roar!”
At that moment, the Hoofed Soul Beast suddenly let out a furious roar as it woke up just in time. However, the Demonic Cloud Leopard had already reached it.
It used all kinds of secret techniques to attack the Hoofed Soul Beast. A series of fierce attacks rang out, and the Hoofed Soul Beast was forced to retreat.
In the end, the Hoofed Soul Beast was suppressed by the Demonic Cloud Leopard.
“Die!” Qian Yu shouted. He held a short sword in his hand and moved in to attack the Hoofed Soul Beast.
