Chapter 30: Subduing the Lion King! 'Ex-husband' and 'Ex-wife' Meet in a Foreign Land!

Deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

After Gu Fei unleashed his aura without reservation, the low-level Magical Beasts, previously chaotic and arrogant, instantly fell silent.

Even the Amethyst Winged Lion King's movements stalled for a moment.

With a slight lift of his toes, Gu Fei took a few light steps forward; despite his casual posture, as if out for a stroll, he arrived instantly before the Amethyst Winged Lion King the moment the sound of air being torn apart erupted.

This terrifying speed was so extreme that even the Amethyst Winged Lion King could not react in time.

Gu Fei stood before him, looking as insignificant as an ant, yet the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt a scent of extreme danger.

It was the long-lost scent of death.

A terrifying threat he had not felt since he began to dominate this mountain range.

【The Amethyst Winged Lion King feels fear, Emotion Value +50】

That sensation of a racing heartbeat made the Lion King's scalp tingle.

He let out a roar and instinctively stretched out a giant claw to strike at Gu Fei.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King held nothing back, putting his full strength into the blow, because his intuition told him that if he did not use his full power—if he dared to underestimate Gu Fei in the slightest—he would absolutely die.

Yun Yun's expression changed, startled by the Lion King's sudden strike.

Although she sensed Gu Fei's strength, compared to the Lion King's massive body, Gu Fei looked far too weak.

【Yun Yun feels nervousness and worry, Emotion Value +100】

"If a blow like that hits him, won't he be in trouble?"

However, the next moment, that massive claw, heavy as ten thousand jun, stopped dead in mid-air as if it had been slammed to a halt, unable to press down even a fraction further.

At the same time, a violent sound of metal colliding rang out in the sky.

The sound was ear-piercing, and the massive energy that erupted from the center caused the low-level Magical Beasts nearby below to spit out mouthfuls of blood.

Yun Yun stared without blinking.

She squinted her eyes before realizing that Gu Fei had simply extended one hand.

That hand, compared to the giant claw, looked like an ant beside an elephant's foot, yet it had intercepted the descending giant claw.

【Yun Yun feels shock, Emotion Value +100】

"How is this possible?"

Yun Yun exclaimed.

Her Seal had been mostly undone, and she had long been able to sense the energy fluctuations in the outside world.

The reason for her shock was that Yun Yun could sense that the protagonist of the battle, Gu Fei, had not used any Dou Qi energy at all!

He had merely extended a hand and, using only his physical strength, blocked a full-force strike from a Sixth Rank Magical Beast! And this was no ordinary Sixth Rank Magical Beast! The moment his attack was easily caught by Gu Fei, the Amethyst Winged Lion King felt a sharp pain radiating from his claw.

【The Amethyst Winged Lion King feels terror, Emotion Value +50】

He instinctively retracted his claw quickly, a flicker of terror rising in his heart.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King was stronger than Yun Yun, and as an intelligent Magical Beast, his experience was not shallow.

He could naturally perceive that Gu Fei had withstood this blow using only physical strength.

Moreover, Gu Fei's expression was calm; he even appeared to have energy to spare.

The greatest strength of Magical Beasts has never been Dou Qi, but their formidable physical bodies.

Conversely, the weakness of most humans lies in their physical bodies.

Yet now, the positions of human and Magical Beast were completely reversed; Gu Fei could easily block his full-force strike without using Dou Qi.

The Amethyst Winged Lion King's fur stood on end, his pupils constricting.

Just how terrifying must Gu Fei's physique be? Gu Fei shook his hand, feeling it lacked any challenge at all.

He still remembered the System Panel stating his physique was at Level 78, equivalent to the physical strength of a Seventh Tier Late Stage Magical Beast with an Emperor Grade Bloodline.

As Magical Beasts cultivate to the later stages, every rank crossed is a qualitative improvement.

Between the Sixth Rank and the Seventh Rank, there is already a chasm. Not to mention the added bonus of the Emperor Grade Bloodline strength.

If Gu Fei were to get serious, he could easily thrash the Amethyst Winged Lion King using only physical strength!

It was not easy to come across a Magical Beast that barely suited his fancy, so Gu Fei intended to persuade it one more time; his patience was also wearing thin.

"Believe me, becoming my mount will be the wisest decision you ever make in your life."

"In the future, breaking through to the Seventh Rank, or even the Eighth Rank, is possible; at the very least, it is better than staying holed up in this Magical Beast Mountain Range forever."

【The Amethyst Winged Lion King feels hesitation, Emotion Value +50】

After using his power to awe the Amethyst Winged Lion King, Gu Fei, well-versed in the principle of the carrot and the stick, offered some conditions.

Furthermore, Gu Fei smiled faintly, and seeing the Amethyst Winged Lion King still hesitating, he spoke again.

"Afterwards, I will give you a Transformation Pill."

With the combination of absolute utility and the various potentials Gu Fei had displayed, the Lion King finally wavered.

【The Amethyst Winged Lion King feels doubt, Emotion Value +50】

Following such a future peerless powerhouse, even if only as a mount, did not seem shameful.

Moreover, Gu Fei had already given him enough face.

His words had reached this point; if the Amethyst Winged Lion King still did not agree, it would likely face a fatal disaster today.

Furthermore, its child in the cave would also be in danger.

"Greetings, Master!"

Therefore, after weighing the options, the proud Amethyst Winged Lion King finally chose to lower its head and submit to Gu Fei.

"Very good!"

Seeing this, Gu Fei nodded with a smile.

Below, Yun Yun witnessed this scene with her own eyes.

【Yun Yun experiences surprise, Emotion Value +100】

She was simply so surprised that she could not speak.

Gu Fei's strength refreshed her understanding time and time again, and had even long since far exceeded her imagination.

Yun Yun could not help but feel some doubt; did such a monster really exist? High above, Gu Fei was still giving instructions to the Purple Crystal Winged Lion King.

"Since that is the case, prepare yourself; afterwards, you will leave the Magical Beast Mountain Range with me. As for that child of yours, handle it as you see fit."

Subsequently, he descended to the ground and came to Yun Yun's side.

【Yun Yun experiences embarrassment, Emotion Value +100】

It was rare for Yun Yun to feel somewhat awkward; she had actually thought such an expert was boasting just a moment ago.

At this moment, Yun Yun's attitude toward Gu Fei had already quietly changed.

She no longer treated him like the callow youth she had just a moment ago; this was the natural reaction of the weak toward the strong.

At the same time, Yun Yun felt ridiculous thinking about how she had even told Gu Fei just now that she would help recommend Gu He to him.

Gu Fei smiled slightly, about to open his mouth to tease this ice beauty who rarely revealed her emotions.

Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly as he looked toward the east.

"Why has she come?"

Yun Yun looked in the direction of his gaze, confused, remaining silent without speaking.

Gu Fei frowned, his mood somewhat irritable.

What exactly did these two want by coming over to disturb him? Although Xun Er and Ling Ying had not deliberately revealed their aura, with Gu Fei's powerful soul strength sensing, he still discovered that the two of them were approaching this side.
