233 Wings Like Blades

Its sharp eyes looked disdainfully at all living beings, and a kingly aura spread out.

This oppressive presence coming from the roc was more than ten times stronger than anything the Flame Owl had ever displayed before. Under this pressure, the Golden Leopard flinched from it, not to mention Zhang Yuxin.

The Golden Leopard looked up at the sky, saw the giant roc in the sky, and averted its gaze. It seemed terrified.

“Flame Owl, Blazing Charge!” Shen Fei growled. He circulated his true essence and poured it into the mark in his hand.

In an instant, a ball of fire shot out like a meteorite. Within the flames, the Flame Owl flapped its huge wings and flew off. The air screamed wherever the flames touched.

“Awoo!” The Golden Leopard was hit, and it let out a miserable shriek as it was sent flying.

The flame, like a comet, continued on until it smashed into the hill beside it.

Boom!

The mountain collapsed and the earth cracked. The rock walls in the valley caved in and rocks flew everywhere.

The Golden Leopard was heavily injured. The fur on its body was charred black, and there were flames still burning on it. Some of its flesh was burnt to a crisp and scattered into the air, releasing a pungent and nauseating smell.

However, the Flame Owl continued to swoop down with a sharp cry. This sound made the Golden Leopard’s skin tingle as its fur stood on end.

The Golden Leopard roared and immediately fled into the distance. However, it had only run a hundred meters when the Flame Owl bore down on it, pecking it with its sword-like beak.

The Golden Leopard’s eyes turned cold and sharp as its body flickered and it swiped out with its claw. The two of them clashed and were simultaneously forced back.

This time, the Golden Leopard had a slight advantage. After all, it was a Beast King. After it stabilized its body, it lunged and attacked again.

The Golden Leopard’s eyes glinted sharply, and it slashed at the Flame Owl again with its claws. Its body was lithe and strong, and it could jump tens of meters with just a tap of its feet. At this moment, its body was floating in the air, its wings spread out, and its bladed claws ruthlessly slashed at the Flame Owl’s abdomen.

The Flame Owl’s eyes were dark. It flapped its wings and its talons flashed, clashing with the Golden Leopard. The Golden Leopard’s claws came in contact with the pair of talons.

However, the Flame Owl’s sharp talons easily tore the Golden Leopard’s claws apart. Then, the Flame Owl swept its wings out, and the Golden Leopard was sent flying.

The Golden Leopard was covered in injuries, so the Flame Owl took the opportunity to go after it.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Yuxin’s eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. “How… How did the Flame Owl become so powerful?”

It was also at this moment that the Flame Owl flew over the leopard. Its eyes were cold, and its sharp talons were like hooks as it locked onto the Golden Leopard. The Golden Leopard reacted quickly and dodged the attack. However, its chest was still cut open by the sharp talons.

Blood spurted out. The Golden Leopard also spat out blood. There were a few deep gashes on its chest, so deep that it revealed the bone underneath. If the Golden Leopard had not reacted in time, that attack would have taken its life.

Even so, it did not gain any advantage. The Flame Owl flapped its wings and swooped down at the Golden Leopard, planning to finish it off. A strong wind swept up, and the wings of the Flame Owl were like blades.

As it dove, it extended its sharp talons and grabbed the Golden Leopard’s head. It was about to kill the enemy with his talons and beak!

The Golden Leopard roared and struggled with all its might, trying to resist. However, the injuries on its body were too serious, causing its movements to be much slower.

“Flame Owl, Flaming Bramble Inferno.” Shen Fei continued to order.

Ripples appeared in the air, and thorny brambles sprouted out, almost like a forest of its own, and emitting a ghastly aura. Meanwhile, the forest vines moved to stab the Flame Owl, almost like it was trying to protect one of its creatures.

The Flame Owl’s eyes turned scarlet. It shifted its body and dodged the attacks. It then charged at the Golden Leopard.

“Let’s go!” Seeing the Flame Owl charge at it, Shen Fei pulled Zhang Yuxin and fled into the distance.

A purple ray of light shot forward, carrying the two of them into the forest of thorns. After that flash of purple, peace returned to the area. The only creature left was the Flame Owl.

Just as Shen Fei and Zhang Yuxin entered the thorn forest, they heard an incomparably mournful voice.

“Aroo!”

Then, they saw the blood-stained Golden Leopard lying on the ground. Its entire body was covered in wounds, and blood was even flowing out of its mouth. Clearly, this fellow had been tortured by the Flame Owl and almost died.

It was trembling in fear. It had a timid expression as it looked around the forest, wanting to escape.

Shen Fei’s eyes flashed as he said, “Flame Owl, catch up to the Golden Leopard.”

Even though the Flame Owl had just finished evolving and had not yet reached the divine mystic realm yet, it was still not strong enough. However, it was a ferocious spirit beast, and it was still outstanding in terms of battle skills.

In addition, it was an existence that had charged that had garnered quite the body count. With its terrifying battle instincts and powerful defense, it was not afraid of the Golden Leopard. In fact, its attacks were even stronger than the Golden Leopard’s.

The Flame Owl’s eyes were red as it stared at the Golden Leopard in the distance. Then, it flapped its wings and charged forward.

“Coo, coo!” the Flame Owl screeched, its blade-like wings shot it forward like a streak of lightning and it slashed down. The leopard could not dodge in time and its legs were cut off.

The Flame Owl clawed at the Golden Leopard and pressed it to the ground. Immediately, the Golden Leopard let out a wail. It struggled with all its might, but it was restrained by the Flame Owl. Eventually, the Flame Owl bit down and broke its neck.

The Flame Owl’s eyes flickered, and it swallowed the Golden Leopard whole. After swallowing the leopard, the flames around the Flame Owl dissipated. Then, the firebird spread its wings and disappeared.

As soon as the Flame Owl left, Shen Fei and Zhang Yuxin heaved a sigh of relief. Zhang Yuxin’s face was solemn.

“Your Flame Owl is actually so powerful.” Her gaze was filled with awe.

“It seems to have become even more powerful somehow,” Shen Fei muttered. He clearly felt a majestic aura emerge from the Flame Owl’s body.

The air before him twisted into a portal, and the Flame Owl flew out from the pocket dimension with a flap of its wings. Its feathers were accompanied by scarlet flames.

The Flame Owl spat out the undigested carcass of the Golden Leopard, then it slashed its wings out like a knife, cutting off the Golden Leopard’s head from the body. The movement was swift, and the Golden Leopard’s head was crushed. Blood splattered everywhere. Then, the Flame Owl swung its tail and sent the headless body flying, stirring up a cloud of dust.

After dealing with the Golden Leopard entirely, the Flame Owl’s eyes flickered, and it glanced at the forest in the distance. The Flame Owl’s eyes focused. It had discovered a strange spirit herb.

Shen Fei noticed as well. “Huh, is that spirit devouring grass?”

The Flame Owl immediately flew to the spirit devouring grass, ready to pick it. Unfortunately, this spirit devouring grass was quite pungent, and as soon as the Flame Owl got close, it was enveloped by the medicinal fragrance.

It was also at this moment that the air trembled, and a great force began to turn the tide. Immediately, the Flame Owl’s body staggered.

“There seems to be a seal in this area, preventing us from leaving.”

The Flame Owl’s eyes flickered. Then, its eyes flashed and it flapped its wings.
