Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

"Kill," Blaze Regret said flatly, not even glancing at Star Megami.

Raising its claws, Red bent its body slightly, and then leaped into the air. A fierce gust of wind mercilessly swept towards Star Megami's throat.

"Whoosh!"

A somewhat blinding sound of something slicing through the air suddenly came from above. Red's pupils contracted sharply, and its body twisted mid air. A scorching trail of fire grazed its body and plunged fiercely into the ground.

Landing on the ground, Red's gaze turned icy as it stared at a figure not far away. It was a fire Tiger, but it stood upright like a human, with crimson flames burning rapidly on its shoulders.

Pulling its paw out of the ground, the fire Tiger slowly straightened up and nonchalantly brushed the dirt off its paw, not paying any attention to the others present. Its demeanor was rather cold and detached.

"Beacon Fire Tiger?" Blaze Regret's gaze finally turned serious. This suddenly appearing spirit beast possessed the strength of a high tier fifth rank Imperial grade, which meant its master must be a significant figure in Bloodstone Pass.

"Tsk tsk, old friend Star Megami, I've told you not to be so hasty. This kid is not as easy to deal with as you might think."

From within the woods, an elderly figure with hands clasped behind his back walked out with a smile on his face. It was none other than Swith Mark.

"A fifth rank spirit Imperial master," a glint of sharpness flashed in Blaze Regret's eyes. When he had encountered Swith Mark at the Patel family, Swith Mark hadn't seemed much stronger than Star Megami. Now it was clear that Swith Mark had been concealing his true strength.

However, Blaze Regret had inquired about the powerful figures in Bloodstone Pass just the day before, and Swith Mark's name had not come up.

"You finally came. This kid killed my demon spirit tree. Hurry up and slaughter him!" Star Megami turned his head, his gaze towards Blaze Regret filled with malice, and his tone became exceedingly arrogant, bolstered by Swith Mark's support.

"A Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat quite a remarkable spirit beast," Swith Mark remarked with a hint of amusement as he walked over to the Beacon Fire Tiger. His voice carried a playful undertone.

In truth, Swith Mark had arrived before the battle between Red and the demon spirit tree had even begun. He had simply refrained from intervening until he had assessed Blaze Regret's true strength. Now, seeing Blaze Regret's capabilities, he felt assured enough to reveal himself. A second rank spirit Imperial master posed no threat to his fifth rank Spirit Imperial master power.

"If it were anyone else, I might let them go after taking their belongings. But not you. I had planned for so long, intending to add something to the medicinal liquid to get rid of that old man Patel Rong. But you disrupted my plans," Swith Mark said, his gaze growing colder and a strong killing intent emerging in his eyes.

"Well, I'm honored," Blaze Regret replied with a calm smile, his expression as composed as ever.

"Courting death!" At Blaze Regret's nonchalant demeanor, a surge of fury rose in Swith Mark's eyes, and his cold shout echoed through the forest.

"Beacon Fire Tiger, kill him for me!"

Hearing the command, the Beacon Fire Tiger finally lifted its face. Its claws, as sharp as steel, shot out from between its fingers with a sudden snap, emitting a cold gleam that made Red squint slightly.

"Howl!"

With a slight shudder, Red let out a low growl. Three pale yellow streams of flame swiftly circled its body. The leaves above it caught fire with a whoosh, and the scattered leaves around it were swept away by the sudden surge of Red's aura.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

With a calm gaze, he looked at Red. The Beacon Fire Tiger's claws clenched slightly, and a violent burst of scorching spiritual power erupted, rippling outwards in waves.

"Bang!"

With a heavy stomp, accompanied by a loud explosion, the Beacon Fire Tiger's figure flashed and appeared in front of Red. Its sharp claws, carrying a fierce gust of wind, slashed down towards Red.

Feeling the force of the wind above, Red's eyes grew slightly serious. It raised its claws and collided fiercely with the Beacon Fire Tiger's claws. Sparks flew, and the screeching sound of metal against metal echoed through the forest, making one's scalp tingle.

"Howl!"

Red's foot stepped to the right, causing the Beacon Fire Tiger's claws to miss. Red then swiftly retreated, and two pale yellow beams of flame shot out from its eyes, cutting through the air and blasting towards the Beacon Fire Tiger.

Seeing the lightning fast attack, the Beacon Fire Tiger's expression remained calm. It crossed its claws, letting the scorching flame beams hit them squarely.

"Bang!"

The crossed claws collided with the flame beams. In front of the Beacon Fire Tiger, rings of tangible pale yellow energy spread outwards. Meanwhile, its body was forced to retreat wildly, its toes digging into the ground and leaving long cracks.

Shaking its head, Red's eyes regained clarity. Looking at the Beacon Fire Tiger, which was gently shaking its claws, its expression turned exceptionally stern. The gap in their ranks meant it couldn't inflict significant damage on the Beacon Fire Tiger.

"Not bad with the spiritual technique. Now it's my turn."

Swith Mark smiled coldly. "Beacon Fire Tiger, use the Scorching Claw to tear that Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat apart."

Nodding slightly, the Beacon Fire Tiger flicked its wrist, and crimson flames quickly coiled around its sharp claws. With a sudden swing, the air in front of it was torn apart by three fiery red streaks.

A scorching gust of wind rushed forward. Seeing the Beacon Fire Tiger's terrifying strike, Red advanced instead of retreating. Stepping on a protruding rock, it leaped high into the air. In its pupils, a barely noticeable flame quietly appeared.
