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

Chapter 177 - 177 Black Ice Leopard

177 Black Ice Leopard

“How could this be? This old man is so strong!” Shen Fei was extremely shocked by the old man’s strength. However, when he faced the old man, he felt a lethal danger, perhaps even a fatal one.

“This old man is no ordinary person.”

Furthermore, the black-robed elder had a Black Ice Leopard with him. The Black Ice Leopard was a Count-rank spirit beast. Although it was still in its infant stage, it had the combat strength of an initial-stage grandmaster.

The old man grinned, revealing a row of sharp teeth, and his eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Kid, it seems you’re a Beastmaster as well. Let your spirit beast have a match with mine, then. If you win, I’ll give you a treasure.”

!!

Shen Fei’s thoughts raced. He did not expect this old man to be a Beastmaster. Beast tamers were rare occupations, especially Beastmasters, who were even rarer to come by, because taming spirit beasts was extremely difficult.

However, not only did the old man have a spirit beast, it was also of a very high rank.

At this moment, Shen Fei was caught in a dilemma. He had thought that he might gain a powerful ally, but he ended up with an enemy instead.

If he really fought the Black Ice Leopard, he would definitely die if he lost. However, if he won, the black-robed elder would most likely fly into a rage out of humiliation and not let him off easy.

Unfortunately, Shen Fei could not think too long about it. He took a deep breath and gritted his teeth. “Let’s duel then. I’m not afraid of you. Three-clawed Golden Dragon, go!”

“Roar!”

As soon as Shen Fei’s words fell, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon immediately let out a deep roar. It rose into the air and dove at the old man.

“Hehe, a mere Three-clawed Golden Dragon dares to fight against my Black Ice Leopard. You really don’t know what’s good for you.” The black-robed old man smiled eerily, his eyes suffused with a bloodthirsty light. He formed a seal with both hands and fiercely waved them.

“Black Ice Leopard, Soul-devouring Curse… Devour!”

In the next moment, countless evil and vicious auras came from all directions and enveloped the Three-clawed Golden Dragon.

In the blink of an eye, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s body was covered in a layer of black mist.

“What?” Sensing that the Three-clawed Golden Dragon was being corroded by the Soul-devouring Curse, Shen Fei’s expression suddenly changed, and his face filled with shock.

The Soul-devouring Curse was a very powerful spell. Once used, it could strip a warrior of their spiritual cultivation power.

The Three-clawed Golden Dragon is Shen Fei’s greatest pillar. If its cultivation power was crippled, Shen Fei would be reduced to a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Of course, if the Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s spiritual energy was strong enough, it might be able to resist the curse. Otherwise, it would die.

Shen Fei gritted his teeth. “Damn it, this old man is too despicable. He’s actually using such a curse! He’s gone too far!” Shen Fei recalled that he never provoked the old man, yet the other party wanted to cripple his cultivation.

The black-robed elder cackled evilly and urged the Three-clawed Golden Dragon, “Don’t struggle anymore, or else I’ll make you suffer so much that you’ll wish you were dead.”

The Three-clawed Golden Dragon roared and opened its mouth to bite the black-robed old man. The elder simply sneered and stepped back. He then drew back his leg and sent the dragon flying, breaking several large trees.

Seeing this, Shen Fei frowned. He rushed toward the Three-clawed Golden Dragon and prepared to save him.

“Hehe, it’s too late. The decouring has already begun.”

Seeing this, the black-robed elder let out a strange laugh and formed another seal. In an instant, three iron chains whizzed out and wrapped around the Three-clawed Golden Dragon, firmly binding it.

Snap!

The Three-clawed Golden Dragon struggled fiercely, and the terrifying energy fluctuations caused the misty void to tremble.

However, no matter how the Three-clawed Golden Dragon struggled, it could not escape the restraints of the chains.

Seeing this, Shen Fei’s face became dark. He opened his right hand and a fireball appeared in his palm. “Fire Bullet, Incinerate!” He flicked his finger, and the fireball flew toward the old man.

The fireball emitted scorching heat like a blazing sun.

“Parlor tricks.” The old man shook his head and sneered. He waved his arm and a ball of purple flame rushed out.

Boom!

In an instant, the fireball and the purple flame met and exploded. The boiling hot airwaves rolled outward, causing the entire mist valley to boil.

Shen Fei’s figure retreated miserably.

“Hehe, you’re no match for me.” The black-robed old man sneered.

Looking at the Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s wretched appearance, Shen Fei’s heart ached.

[A Three-clawed Golden Dragon that can be upgraded has been detected. Do you wish to upgrade?]

“Yes!” Shen Fei undoubtedly said.

A blinding golden light emanated from the Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s body, and its dull dragon scales gradually returned to normal.

“Roar!”

The Three-clawed Golden Dragon let out a roar and shot forward like a cannonball.

Bang!

The old man was caught off-guard. His chest caved in and his bones broke. His body looked as if it had been struck by lightning. He spat out blood from his severe injuries.

“How is this possible?!” The old man widened his eyes in shock and disbelief.

He was a Beastmaster, and understood everything about his spirit beasts’ strengths and weaknesses, and each of the spirit beasts he raised were extraordinary. However, he never expected that the spirit beast he raised would be so weak that it could not even break a Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s defenses.

The Three-clawed Golden Dragon itself was extraordinary. Although the Black Ice Leopard was intelligent, it was not a real spirit beast. It was only a fifth-star demonic beast. How could it be a match for the Three-clawed Golden Dragon?

Crack!

A few minutes later, the Three-clawed Golden Dragon tore off one of the limbs from the Black Ice Leopard.

“Impossible!” The old man’s eyes bulged in fear. The Three-clawed Golden Dragon’s strength had increased so rapidly that even a fifth-star demonic beast could not do anything to it!

‘How is this possible?!’ The old man just could not comprehend it.

“…Even if your Three-clawed Golden Dragon has reached the Count rank, you are still an ant before me.” The old man huffed. His figure flickered as he once again charged at Shen Fei.

“Soul-devouring Curse!”

The black-robed old man formed a seal with his hands. In an instant, an evil and vicious aura emerged from the Three-clawed Golden Dragon.

“Sh*t!” Feeling the strange aura, Shen Fei’s expression changed. The Soul-devouring Curse was indeed a vicious, forbidden technique.

“Little b*stard, I’ll definitely tear you to pieces today!” The old man cackled wildly. He suddenly burst forth with explosive speed, and he ruthlessly threw a punch at Shen Fei.

“Nine Swords of Origin, Second Sword!”

Shen Fei’s eyes grew so wide they almost popped out of their sockets. He stomped the ground with his right foot and the Qi in his body circulated wildly. He then summoned a Mystical Tortoise Shield and placed it in front of himself.

The old man punched the Mystical Tortoise shield.

Crack!

In the next moment, Shen Fei felt painful tremors travel into his hand from the Mystical Tortoise Shield. Dense web-like patterns spread out on the shield.

Shatter! The Mystical Tortoise Shield broke into pieces and showered the ground.

As for that old man’s fist, the remaining power did not decrease as it smashed right into Shen Fei’s body.
