Beast Taming: The Empress Is Shocked After Peeking Into My Future

231 Tremble In Fear

The Gold Lion was immediately sent flying. When the Qingfeng Sword’s energy touched it, its body was injured.

After being attacked, the Gold Lion roared. Its eyes turned scarlet red as it jumped at Zhang Yuxin with monstrous killing intent.

“Snowy Eagle, come out!”

As soon as Zhang Yuxin finished speaking, her Snowy Eagle flew up from the sky and dove at the Gold Lion.

!!

This Snowy Eagle was glittering white, making it look almost like a crystal sculpture. It was also shrouded in a hazy mist.

The Snowy Eagle spread its wings and stretched out its talons, clawing at the Gold Lion’s abdomen.

Zhang Yuxin could feel her heart beating. The Snowy Eagle had appeared too suddenly, and even she was caught off-guard. However, she believed that the Gold Lion would be able to handle it, because it was an existence comparable to nobility in the spirit beast world!

“Roar!” The Gold Lion raised its head and roared. It extended its claws to meet the sharp talons.

A loud, ear-piercing noise rang out. Then, the crowd saw the Snowy Eagle being flung backward. The Snowy Eagle’s talon had split open, it had claw marks on its body, and it was bleeding quite a bit.

However, the Gold Lion was also forced to retreat. It steadied its body and roared at the sky, revealing a malevolent expression. Its scarlet eyes almost looked like they could drip blood.

Golden patterns wove together on its forehead, and an indescribable power was released.

Seeing this, Zhang Yuxin ordered, “Snowy Eagle, shoot hailstones!”

Immediately, the Snowy Eagle in the sky swooped down and spat hailstones at the Gold Lion. The hailstones emitted light like a cold moon and rained down on it with ice-cold killing intent.

“Roar!” The Gold Lion’s eyes flickered, and it stretched out its claws. Suddenly, the hailstones exploded, and frost burst out from them. The cold air seeped into the Gold Lion’s body, causing its body to stiffen.

This was a wondrous use of the Profound Truth of Ice. It could freeze the essence in a cultivator’s body. Although the Gold Lion’s combat strength was powerful, it was still a young spirit beast.

Now that it was injured, it could not resist the erosion of the ice power.

When the Gold Lion was frozen, Zhang Yuxin took the opportunity to attack, slashing down with her sword. “Die!”

The sword came down on it, and the Gold Lion’s head fell to the ground. The Gold Lion had howled in grief before the bloody head rolled down.

Shen Fei clapped and laughed. “Not bad, not bad. Your strength is pretty good.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yuxin smiled. “Thank you for your praise, Teacher Shen.” Her cheeks were red, and her eyes were glittering. She was shy, but looked pleased with herself.

Zhang Yuxin was indeed a stunning beauty, and her cute expression could make anyone’s heart race.

“Hey, there’s a spirit source!”

Shen Fei walked over. Suddenly, his eyes flickered as he stared at what was on the Gold Lion’s corpse.

“A spirit source?” Hearing this, Zhang Yuxin was stunned. Then, she noticed it, too.

The spirit source was clear like a gemstone, and there was a ball of liquid flowing inside. Upon closer inspection, it was spirit liquid. When she saw this, Zhang Yuxin’s face was filled with surprise.

“Since we’ve found a spirit source, let’s leave this place first,” Shen Fei said as he picked it up.

He looked around, and after seeing that the coast was clear, he pulled Zhang Yuxin and ran forward.

“Where are we going?” Zhang Yuxin asked.

“Let’s go find a spiritual vein. They’re rich in spirit essences,” Shen Fei said. He had a lot of knowledge about spirit sources. He was a martial powerhouse, after all.

“I see.” Hearing this, Zhang Yuxin let out a sigh of relief.

“The bottom of that spirit abyss is brimming with spirit essence. However, the essence is too strong. One must be extremely powerful to venture in there,” Shen Fei said.

“This is probably one of the reasons why the academy sent disciples here to train,” Zhang Yuxin said with a smile.

…

The mountain stream flowed quietly. White cranes flew by, birds sang, and flowers bloomed. There were quite a few mountain peaks in this area, all covered in vegetation.

Shen Fei and Zhang Yuxin walked side by side as they searched for the spiritual vein.

“Teacher Shen, it is said that the spirit abyss is a cave abode left behind by an ancestor of a powerful sect. If we can obtain the spirit essence there, it would be equivalent to obtaining a treasure vault!

“Moreover, there’s a high-grade spiritual vein. That alone should be enough to help one cultivate into the primordial heaven realm!” Zhang Yuxin said.

“That’s right.” Shen Fei nodded. He was also rather excited about this. After all, spirit essences were very helpful to normal cultivators.

Shen Fei laughed. “Hehe, you don’t have to look so serious. This is only the last test before the academy’s final assessment.”

He did not think these tests would make anyone a winner. All one had to do was try their best to win the championship.

As the two of them chatted, the sound of the wind whistling could be heard in the distance.

“Another spirit beast!”

When the wind howled, Shen Fei and Zhang Yuxin could not help but frown. The sound was getting closer and closer, and a rainbow-colored light broke through the sky from the depths of the forest.

After seeing this rainbow beam, Shen Fei’s eyes suddenly narrowed. He could sense a vast power from the light, as though a primordial beast was approaching.

It was a Beast King, and it was extremely powerful.

Zhang Yuxin’s brows furrowed when she saw the rainbow light.

“Let’s go!” After pondering for a moment, Shen Fei pulled Zhang Yuxin’s hand and quickly fled.

Meanwhile, the long sword in Shen Fei’s hand trembled and emitted a dazzling radiance. He formed a sword array that covered a radius of a hundred meters.

Spiritual light surged and gathered, forming a rain of sword shadows. These sword shadows crossed each other and slashed out with destructive power. It was also at this moment that the beam of light crashed onto their position.

From there, a pair of sharp claws reached out and shattered the sword shadows that Shen Fei cast.

Then, the claws smashed down. The area caved in, and violent fluctuations swept over, causing the air to twist.

The terrifying force made everyone tremble, and even Shen Fei was sent flying under this kind of power.

Then, a figure flashed over them and appeared in Shen Fei’s sight. It was a golden-furred leopard that was over six meters tall. This Golden Leopard had six wings on its back, and it was like one of the mythical birds that soared through the Nine Heavens.

Its eyes glowed with the air of a king, as if it truly ruled over everything. Apart from that, there was also a group of Golden Hawks circling above. They were just like an army, giving off a strong sense of oppressiveness.

...

“What a scary beast!” Zhang Yuxin’s eyes were dark, and she did not dare to stop fleeing.

This Golden Leopard’s aura was terrifying, and it had clearly reached the rank of an Emperor.

This beast was too terrifying. If it leaped at them, they would not be able to withstand its attack.

They did not even have time to escape.

Just as Shen Fei and Zhang Yuxin were sent flying from the earlier force wave, the Golden Leopard made its move. It extended its claws, and like a sharp blade, it tore through the air and ruthlessly struck the defensive array that Shen Fei had set up. The array was immediately torn apart.

Zhang Yuxin was also simultaneously attacked by the slash. Her clothes were torn, and there were claw marks on her chest.

She could not help but scream from the pain.
