Chapter 148: The Power of Fēi Rèn’s Magic Beast
The sword held by Fēi Rèn was called Heavy Exploding Thunder斩 Blade. It was a powerful weapon she had spent two days tirelessly crafting. Not only did the sword contain a massive amount of lightning magic energy, but it also possessed the ability to manipulate gravity!
Now, simply lifting the sword made it impossible for the moving White Horse Cadre to move!
Since Fēi Rèn switched tracks, her growth rate could be described as skyrocketing. However, previously, because the invincible magical girl Mèng Yuè was always in front of her, this led to her having no opportunity to grow. In a certain sense, she could be considered wasted.
However, regarding whether to waste Fēi Rèn again, Báiyǔ and Mèng Yuè had once discussed this in bed. Mèng Yuè felt it was feasible. Although she didn’t really want to kill the monster comrade again, couldn’t she just pretend to have purified it successfully? She thought that if she acted out a few times, pretending to single-handedly defeat all the invading monsters, perhaps Fēi Rèn would revert to being wasted again.
“If her sister hadn’t become like this, maybe it would still be possible.”
Regarding this, Báiyǔ raised objections, “Nowadays, she keeps thinking about personally killing me and Lí. Especially Lí… She will definitely think about personally ending her beloved sister. This is something she will never let you do!”
“Ugh… All thanks to Little Lí, why can’t she act like me and drag it out for a few more days? After wasting Little Nài, then suddenly change her stance!”
Mouthing a sigh, Mèng Yuè said irritably. But she knew that Ling Lí’s personality wouldn’t allow her to play such a role. Therefore, Mèng Yuè was merely talking casually.
“Besides, I’m now even more curious about what she has experienced to become like this?”
Grabbing the shivering Mèng Yuè, Báiyǔ said with great interest, “Ten years ago… She was six years old back then? After she was sent away by her parents not long after, what exactly happened to her?”

“Swoosh!”
Fēi Rèn swung her long sword, and the Heavy Exploding Thunder斩 Blade emitted a deep blue lightning! Just as this lightning was about to engulf the White Horse Cadre, it lifted its shield—blocking the dazzling lightning!
“Bang!”
At this moment, Fēi Rèn noticed that the White Horse Cadre was now holding a new shield, no longer the ordinary one easily destroyed last time. This new shield was engraved with a ferocious snake face and was ink green in color!
“Sss!”
In the next second, a snake hiss sounded from the shield! Then, Fēi Rèn saw a real snake head emerge from the shield, and those eerie snake eyes glowed blood red toward her direction!
“What—”
Caught off guard, Fēi Rèn’s body was completely illuminated by the light from the snake eyes! Instantly, she felt as if her body was filled with lead, becoming incredibly heavy—
“Hahaha! Submit to petrification!”
At this moment, the White Horse Cadre’s triumphant voice echoed! And Fēi Rèn realized with shock that the snake head emerging from the shield was actually a magic beast they had encountered before!
Her sister seemed to say that this magic beast was called the Medusa Snake! It got its name because its gaze could turn living beings to stone. However, Mèng Yuè waved her hand and purified the beast, so Fēi Rèn never got to see the Medusa Snake’s power firsthand!
But now, she saw a living magic beast emerge from the enemy’s shield, and she was caught off guard, unable to move!
This can’t happen! She still had so much to do! How could she be petrified so easily here?!
Clenching her teeth, Fēi Rèn tried to use the magic energy within her body to resist petrification. But what happened next exceeded her expectations!
“How is this possible??”
First came the shocked voice of the White Horse Cadre, shaking the snake-headed shield in its hand, speaking in disbelief, “Why wasn’t she petrified… I conducted experiments beforehand, how could this be…”
I… wasn’t petrified?
Hearing the voice of the White Horse monster, Fēi Rèn instinctively looked down at her body… Her body was indeed heavy as lead, but she wasn’t petrified!
What? Why…
Just then, something even more unbelievable happened! As if she knew instinctively what to do, Fēi Rèn glared at the White Horse Cadre! Under the stunned gaze of the White Horse Cadre… it and the snake-headed shield turned into actual stone sculpture!
“!!!”
This unexpected turn of events shocked Ling Lí! Mèng Yuè was also shocked! The originally relaxed monster army behind them were also shocked! And Báiyǔ… while surprised, he focused his gaze on Fēi Rèn’s chest.
A crimson magic core, its surface already covered in cracks. And from these cracks… a large amount of colorless magic energy flowed out, which would be hard to notice unless closely examined!
What’s going on??
To be honest… Báiyǔ had never seen such a strange magic core. He originally thought that Ling Lí splitting into a double magic core was impressive, but he didn’t expect there to be even higher-level techniques!
Furthermore, Fēi Rèn’s eyes turned blood red snake eyes when she glared, as if she had used the Medusa Snake’s ability in that instant!
“How interesting~~~”
At this moment, Ling Lí’s voice suddenly came from below. Ling Lí excitedly watched her little sister petrify the White Horse Cadre, suddenly generating a new idea!
This power… This must be magic beast power, right? After all, turning an opponent to stone with snake eyes doesn’t seem related to 【Blades and Swords】 at all. Although I don’t know how you did it, according to the Master… it’s better to have Little Nài use magic beast power more often!
So… making her rely more on magic beast power than on magical girl power seems quite feasible! Right, Master?
Although Ling Lí clearly didn’t want to think about other things now and just wanted to follow the Master’s orders, when it came to dealing with her sister, her mind worked quickly. Coincidentally, her current strategy matched Báiyǔ’s perfectly!
