Chapter 227 - 227 Certain Death

227 Certain Death

Immediately after, he summoned a halberd and swung it straight for Shen Fei’s throat, wanting to kill him.

Shen Fei’s eyes flickered as he summoned the dark-attribute Black Sun. “Black Sun, Dark Spirit Intimidation!”

The light of darkness bloomed and drowned Lear. When the dark light came down, the weapon stopped, as if it was cast in stone, unable to move any further. At the same time, Shen Fei conjured a black hole, and sucked all the power from Lear’s halberd.

“What a strange dark power!”

When the dark energy spread out, Lear frowned and did not recklessly approach Shen Fei again. He was afraid of being corroded by the dark power. His arm was trembling as if it was about to be burned up.

When the dark energy on his arm gradually lessened, Lear narrowed his eyes at Shen Fei. “It seems that you’re not simple, either.” There was a hint of solemness in the depths of his pupils. “Since that’s the case, I’ll show you true power!”

After a moment, Lear’s eyes flashed. More magic runes on his right arm suddenly lit up, and scales grew on the surface of his skin. This was something similar to the armor that was attached to Lear’s skin. At the same time, blood Qi spurted out from various places of his body, increasing the aura on Lear’s body.

“This is your trump card?” Shen Fei’s pupils shrank as he felt Lear’s aura skyrocket. This aura was more than twice as strong as before!

“Hehe, I should have used my forbidden power long ago.” Lear laughed. He had wanted to hide his strength, but at this moment, he had no choice but to use it… Because this young man was too strong. If he was allowed to grow, Lear would be powerless to deal with him.

A low roar came from Lear’s mouth. He held the halberd in his right hand and thrust it forward. This halberd tore through the air, drawing an arc as it slashed toward Shen Fei.

With this attack, Lear’s demonic might was unparalleled. His aura caused Shen Fei’s mind to tense up, knowing that Lear was even more powerful than before.

“As expected of a forbidden secret technique.”

When the halberd was about to reach his face, Shen Fei’s eyes suddenly sharpened. Then, he leaped up to avoid the halberd, and while treading the air, he lifted his foot and ruthlessly kicked Lear in the chest.

Lear’s body flew back. He subconsciously steadied himself, but he was dumbstruck. “…What?”

He was not the only one, even Zhang Yuxin was stunned by what happened. Lear, who had clearly held the absolute advantage just now, was actually forced back at the critical moment.

How was this possible?

“You can actually shake my Forbidden Hand?” Lear’s eyes were ferocious and cold.

“It’s just a puppet.” Shen Fei glanced nonchalantly at Lear.

Seeing this, Lear’s face grew darker. “It seems that I have underestimated you.”

Lear gritted his teeth and opened his palm. A rune was throbbing there, and emitting a dazzling light. The light was still being held back, and contained a terrifying power. Lear’s eyes flickered and he extended his finger. The rune flashed and disappeared into his palm.

At once, a vast wave of force burst out. Under this force wave, the whole area almost crumbled. The chaos gathered into a storm that swept over, as though it was about to annihilate the world.

“It’s a forbidden skill!” Feeling this force, Zhang Yuxin’s heart inexplicably throbbed, and tears flowed down from her eyes. She remembered her parents telling her about some taboo things.

The Forbidden Hand! This was a secret technique owned by a heaven’s favorite of the royal family. It was a forbidden art, rumored to be one forbidden technique that required the user to exhaust their potential.

Even if his cultivation reached the heaven attaining realm in the future, he would still suffer significant damage. He might not even be able to step into that stage for the rest of his life.

“This… Lear has actually activated a forbidden spell!”

When the rune was injected into his palm, Lear’s aura rose sharply, and his clothes fluttered around him.

Zhang Yuxin’s face turned solemn. “He’s trying to end it quickly.” Anyone, including herself, could tell who Lear’s killing intent was directed at.

After that, Lear’s hands formed a seal. The demonic patterns on the back of his hand interwove, and a blazing sun appeared. The sun was suspended in the air, giving off a destructive aura. It then rotated, releasing a blazing radiance. Under this light, all the flowers and trees in the forest withered.

Lear’s eyes narrowed, and his deep voice rang out. “Burn!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he flipped his palm over, and the blazing sun came crashing down toward Shen Fei like a meteorite.

The scorching temperature was so high that it made the onlookers in fear, and even the air became distorted, almost like a clear lava.

“What a terrifying power! Even though I’ve set up a barrier, it still makes my hair stand on end. I can’t bear it.”

When the scorching sun bore down, Shen Fei’s heart jumped. There was a terrifying aura within the sun. It was as if a whole ocean of fire was pressing down on him.

Being so near this sun, Shen Fei felt the blood in his body boil, and his bones and muscles felt like they were about to break.

“So this is a forbidden secret technique?” After feeling all this, Shen Fei’s mind was filled with thoughts.

“Although the forbidden secret technique is terrifying, it won’t be easy to defeat me with this move!” Shen Fei’s eyes became firm, “On the path of martial arts, why should I fear a battle?”

Under the power of the sun, his eyes shone with determination. With a thought, the soul core in his sea of consciousness circulated, and all the essences in his body gathered in his fist.

Then, he waved his iron-hard fist and pounded up at the sun.

Pow!

This time, he did not hesitate consuming his core energy to fuse the various Profound Truth elements together. He wanted to destroy the Forbidden Hand in one fell swoop. If not, he would surely die today.

“This guy wants to go head-to-head with the Forbidden Hand?” Seeing this, Zhang Yuxin’s heart suddenly jumped. She could not help but worry for Shen Fei.

“Black Sun, Ancient Prestige!” Shen Fei commanded as he rode on the Black Sun’s back.

“Graar!” The Black Sun understood Shen Fei’s order and quickly flew toward Lear.

The exotic beast swooped down, opened its huge mouth, and pecked at him.

Bang! The Black Sun’s giant beak fell and hit the Forbidden Hand.

When the two came into contact, the air exploded. Violent ripples spread out, and the barrier that surrounded the battle area was shattered. The waves caused the nearby mountains to collapse, rivers to dry up, and all living things—other than the student cultivators—to die. This collision force was terrifying.

The halberd had also left Lear’s hands and was flung away. In addition, the other weapons he possessed were also sent flying. At this point, all three of Lear’s killing moves had been defeated, even before he cast them.

“How did this happen?” Lear’s eyes were wide and he was completely dumbfounded.

Each of his three killing moves could easily kill ordinary Beastmasters in an instant. But they were disintegrated by one Beastmaster.

Lear’s eyes narrowed. “That was a forbidden secret technique!”
