Chapter 457 - 457 Drainage Technique

457 Drainage Technique

“Hmph! Cheap tricks!” Lear laughed coldly. He also waved his fist to meet Aloy’s.

The two fists collided, resulting in an earth-shattering explosion that shook the entire mountain, toppling the surrounding trees with the residual shockwaves.

Aloy was pushed back several meters. Her face was pale and her expression was filled with uncertainty.

Lear, on the other hand, was still standing in his original spot. He smirked at her. “What’s wrong? Is that all you’ve got? If you admit that I am stronger than Shen Fei now, I could still choose not to kill you.”

“That’s funny,” Aloy chuckled, but her facial expression was frosty. “So what if your strength surpasses Shen Fei’s?”

“What do you mean?” Lear frowned.

Aloy did not answer his question. Instead, she slowly closed her eyes. In the next moment, a powerful force came from her body. All the spiritual Qi in the area surged into her body and turned into red flames.

The flames wrapped around Aloy’s body, burning her skin red, and there was even smoke coming from the burns.

“Hiss!” When he felt the scorching heat, Lear gasped. His heart was beating violently.

“No wonder this woman dared to fight me!” Lear gritted his teeth.

The scorching flames were burning through her internal organs!

“Arghhh!!” Aloy screamed in pain, but her eyes remained firm.

“Hmph, you actually used a Drainage Technique! You’re just asking for death!” Lear roared angrily.

The Drainage Technique was a very dangerous skill. It would damage one’s meridians and spiritual core. For cultivators who used it, the slightest mistake could lead to Qi deviation!

In addition, although the Drainage Technique could allow Beastmasters to quickly increase their strength, the drawback was that it could easily weaken their foundation.

Lear had never thought that Aloy would dare to gamble with her life!

“So what? I have to stop the outbreak of the exotic beast horde with my life. You are the core of the exotic beast. Defeating you will stop the horde!” Aloy screamed. She looked especially scary at this moment.

“Fine! Since you want to die, I’ll send you on your way!” Lear gritted his teeth and rushed at Aloy.

When the two of them made contact, the power in Aloy’s body exploded. The tyrannical power swept out like a flood and overwhelmed Lear.

Bang!

The two of them retreated. Lear spat out a mouthful of blood, and his figure fell to the ground in a sorry state.

Aloy took a deep breath and stabilized her chaotic aura. Her body trembled slightly, and blood dribbled down from the corner of her mouth as well. She knew that the price of using this technique was very high, but this was the only way she could protect her friends!

Lear supported himself with his arms and slowly stood up. His eyes grew fierce as he glared at Aloy. “You really don’t have any respect for me!”

“Haha, it’s still unclear which side will win, after all!” Aloy laughed, and her eyes began to glow with a scarlet light. The red light gradually spread to Aloy’s neck, which made her look like a blood-stained rose.

Then, she raised her right leg, tapped the ground with her toes, and leaped into the air. Lear’s vision was blocked by the red light. By the time he could react, Aloy’s figure had already appeared in front of him!

Thud! Aloy managed to kick Lear in the chest.

Lear grunted and fell to the ground again. His face had turned extremely pale.

“Do you think that this little injury will make me admit defeat?” Lear stood up with difficulty. His body swayed as though he was about to collapse at any moment. Lear’s body had reached its limit…

Meanwhile, at the wormhole, Shen Fei and the others were trying their best to stop the exotic beasts from moving forward into the outside world.

“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!” Shen Fei ordered.

The Flame Owl spread its wings and flew high. It flapped its wings and sent out wave after wave of violent and turbulent flames.

The exotic beasts that charged forward recklessly were immediately turned into ash.

The Flame Owl flew skyward. As it flapped its wings, countless fireballs condensed around it and rained down.

Boom, boom, boom!

The fireballs exploded, and the exotic beasts that were hit by them were incinerated one after another. Their ashes dispersed into the air.

“Coo!” The Flame Owl called to the sky. Its majestic cry could be felt throughout the land.

When these exotic beasts heard the Flame Owl’s voice, they did not dare to come any closer.

However, there were also exotic beasts that were still unafraid of death, and they pounced at the Flame Owl.

“Roar!” The beasts’ attacks landed on the Flame Owl, but it was like splashing water at a lake.

“Roar!” The Flame Owl once again raised its head and gave a cry. Circles of visible fluctuations spread out from it.

The exotic beasts that pounced on the firebird were directly shaken off and they fell like birds that were shot out of the sky. However, these were only Emperor-rank and Count-rank exotic beasts.

An exotic beast that looked like a Vermillion Bird swooped down at the Flame Owl within the next moment

As it flapped its wings, a terrifying force raged out. The powerful force billowed out like a hurricane, which caused everyone there to squint their eyes.

“Coo!” The Flame Owl let out a loud and sonorous cry. Its body suddenly began to spin, forming a vortex that carried an aura of destruction. The remaining fireballs from earlier all fell and exploded. They then turned into a monstrous wave of fire.

“Flame Owl, Burning Sky Incantation!” Shen Fei shouted, and countless symbols appeared on the surface of the Flame Owl’s body, which then turned into a vast fire-element energy.

The fire elements in the area gathered and fused into the fire wave. Wherever the fire wave passed by, it destroyed everything. All the exotic beasts were instantly devoured by the fire wave, and not even the bones were left behind.

The sea of flames enveloped the sky. Its terrifying pressure made their enemies feel suffocated.

Seeing this, Shen Fei frowned. He could feel that the Flame Owl was about to reach its limit. If he delayed any longer, the Flame Owl would definitely suffer a backlash from the fatigue.

“Huff!” Shen Fei took a deep breath and clenched his hand. A translucent red medicinal pill appeared in his palm. He gently bit the tip of his tongue and a drop of blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.

The moment the blood landed on the red pill, a loud sound rang out. A violent aura erupted from the pill and swept out in all directions.

At this moment, the exotic beasts that were not dead yet all turned into ash and dispersed into the wind.

Bang! At the same time, the Flame Owl’s huge body fell heavily to the ground.

“Gasp!” Seeing this strange scene, everyone watching from afar could not help but gasp.

Shen Fei gulped hard, and his face revealed a look of horror. The scene earlier was too dangerous. He even thought that he had seen wrongly, but reality told him that everything was real.

‘The Flame Owl was defeated? And it’s heavily injured? How? What happened?! Did I do this?’

Shen Fei’s eyes flickered, his arm trembled slightly, and blood dribbled from the corner of his mouth. When he refined this pill, he had intended to use it to save his own life. But he could not care about anything at the moment except to bring his spirit beast to safety.

Shen Fei glanced around and spotted a cave not too far away…
