Chapter 1005: Lone Wolf Versus Lone Wolf!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
The Celestial Stamp Bodhi infused with three Great Law forces fired an arrow with incredible speed. Now that Xia Fei had unlocked his soul imprint, the arrow was even more powerful, shooting forth like a beam of light!
*Whoosh~*
A silver light flashed, tearing through the river of stars!
As this arrow penetrated through space, a figure emerged from the shattered debris. The arrow continued forward unstoppably, obliterating the debris which that figure had been hidden inside!
“Success!” Xia Fei was stunned. Putting away the divine bow, he rushed toward the revealed figure.
Xia Fei’s pressure tactics had been very effective. While Xia Gucheng’s group of eleven experts was pursuing Constant, Constant was under much greater pressure, and the person directing him from the shadows had to put in even more energy into directing Constant in his escape.
That gave, Xia Fei, who had broken away from the main group, an opportunity. Ocular Cognition was no longer the Ocular Cognition of the past; it was now a supreme vision art that could take in the entire sea of stars! By relying on his speed and his Ocular Cognition, he had finally managed to find the foe hidden in the debris! And he had used the Celestial Stamp Bodhi to force them out!
To Xia Fei’s surprise, this person did not try to dodge. Instead, he rushed toward Xia Gucheng’s group. It was like this mysterious person had never intended to hide. Rather, he was using this chance to get closer to the battlefield. At least on the surface, he didn’t seem very scared that he had been discovered. On the contrary, he had a look of pleasant surprise, like he was reuniting with an old friend.
Xia Fei was stunned. In his eyes, this mysterious person was clearly an enemy! For this enemy to rush toward him with a look of pleasant surprise, his arms wide open to give him a hug, was truly bizarre.
“It’s you!” When Old Crane saw who this newcomer was, he called out in surprise. From the look of delight on his face, he clearly recognized this newcomer. The other Founders also trembled in disbelief!
“Solo! It’s Solo!”
“I didn’t think you’re still alive! We thought that Constant had murdered you!”
The Founders clearly cared a lot about Solo, joy on their faces. Old Crane was even crying.
“Solo?” Xia Fei’s mind spun rapidly. Even with his meticulous thought processes, he couldn’t understand what was going on.
Xia Fei had noticed that Constant had hidden a short-range nerve communication device nearby and was following someone’s instructions. so he had made a plan to force out the enemy hidden in the shadows. But his arrow had ended up revealing someone who should have already died!
Solo was a member of the Thirteen Founders with the cultivation closest to Constant. He was Old Crane’s good friend and had firmly opposed Constant’s decision to submit to the Inverse. It was said that this eccentric genius was a loner, who moved strangely and had an unreasonable personality, so he was given the nickname of Solo.
The key was that Solo was dead!
Constant personally announced that he had killed Solo, but less than half an hour later, the dead Solo had appeared before everybody, as real as could be. This was a bizarre plot twist that not even a movie could make up, but it was reality!
“Solo, I had such a hard time looking for you!” said Old Crane urgently. He heedlessly rushed over, weeping like a child. It was clear that while this old man had lived for eons, he still had a caring personality, and when he was touched, he couldn’t help but show his emotions.
Xia Gucheng grit his teeth and waved his hand, ordering the Skywing Wolfpack to keep pursuing Constant!
The Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade had to see blood once it was unsheathed! Their mortal foe Constant was still alive, so Xia Gucheng was in no mood to enjoy Crane being reunited with his old friend. He had only one thought in mind: killing Constant!
The other Founders, though pleasantly surprised by Solo’s appearance, still decided to follow Xia Gucheng’s plan. This was a rare chance, and with the strongest expert of the Law Realm running for his life, nobody wanted to lose out on this excellent opportunity.
The forces encircling Constant formed into three waves. The first wave was led by Xia Gucheng and was focused on doggedly pursuing Constant and his Founders. Another wave was led by Old Crane, who was planning to meet with his good friend Solo. There was also Xia Fei, who circled around the perimeter, continuing to play his role as the independent wandering cavalry.
Suddenly!
Xia Fei’s eyes erupted with cold light as he accelerated in a curve. His target was none other than Solo! He was after this old friend who Old Crane dearly missed, even taking out the White Dragon’s Screech!
“You’re sure you want to kill Solo?!” Radix was alarmed by Xia Fei’s order. “Look at how excited Old Crane is, and Solo’s delight when he saw Old Crane. This Solo shouldn’t be an enemy. Might you be making a mistake?”
Radix’s question received a terse reply from Xia Fei, “Less nonsense!” he said viciously.
It was clear that Xia Fei had already made up his mind to consider Solo his enemy, and enemies existed to be killed!
If he attacked, he did so to kill!
The White Dragon’s Screech let out a mournful howl, and a white beam shot toward Solo!
Old Crane saw what Xia Fei was doing and roared, “Xia Fei! What are you doing!? This is Solo! We’re not enemies!”
Alas, Xia Fei was Xia Fei. Once he made up his mind, not even the Old Heavenly King could change his mind!
Solo was startled, and confusion, sorrow, and anger appeared on his face, as though he were being unjustly accused.
Old Crane could not stand to see this. He stepped forward and spread apart his arms as he stood in front of Solo, using his body to block Xia Fei’s attack!
Without a word, the determined Xia Fei made a decision that no one had expected, swinging the White Dragon’s Screech at Old Crane!
This move was far too shocking! No one had expected that Xia Fei would rather attack Old Crane than let Solo go!
Even if Xia Fei was right, it would at best be a life for a life. Xia Fei would be killing Crane to kill Solo! And if Xia Fei was wrong, he would mistakenly kill two powerful allies!
The situation was horrifying! On one side, Xia Fei was crazily attacking, and on the other side, Xia Gucheng and the Skywing Wolves were letting Xia Fei be! The absolute trust of the Demon Sealing Fiendish Blade was on full display! There was no need for words! The Skywings would always stand behind their people, supporting them to the end!
If they did right, the Skywings would give their full-throated support! If they did wrong, the Skywings would, in their unreasonable fashion, still give their full-throated support!
“Stop!”
“Don’t hurt Old Crane!”
The four saw that something was wrong, and they immediately stopped and turned around to stop Xia Fei, crying out.
Of the six Founders who opposed Constant, Yore was the oldest, but the real leaders were Solo and Crane. Solo wasn’t much for words, so everyone looked to Crane for leadership. Moreover, the Founders had established the Law Realm together, and their relationships with each other were excellent. Xia Fei attacking Crane instantly had the others frantic with worry!
Alas, they didn’t understand Xia Fei. Once Xia Fei had made up his mind, no matter how crazy the decision he was, he would carry it out!
The Fiend Blade Nirvana descended, while the legendary White Dragon’s Screech pierced through the river of stars!
Furball and Peacock Blue stared hungrily, waiting for the right chance to strike!
A lethal move! Xia Fei was seeking to kill Old Crane!
Old Crane had even closed his eyes, displaying a resolve on par with Xia Fei’s. Even if he had to die, he wouldn’t let Xia Fei hurt his friend!
*Plush!*
The blade’s edge descended without hesitation. Xia Fei suddenly accelerated, his sword thrusting through Old Crane’s body, entering his right shoulder from an angle!
The Nirvana Fiend Blade descended, but the Nirvana Fiend Blade did not follow a normal trajectory, instead of traveling on a strange arc! Its ultimate target was Solo, who was standing behind Crane!
*Bang!*
There was a clash of metal. The speeds were just too fast for everyone to see what had happened one second ago. All that they saw was that Solo now had one arm hanging limply from his shoulder while Old Crane had paled from the heavy wound Xia Fei had inflicted on him.
*Whoosh!*
Everyone suddenly gasped, for Solo’s hand was holding a pitch-black short sword. The tip of the sword had already penetrated through Crane’s armor. It was only a few centimeters away from striking the old man’s heart!
In comparison, while Xia Fei’s White Dragon’s Screech had been vicious, it had avoided striking Old Crane in his vitals. It had only inflicted an external wound that needed some medicine and a few days to be completely healed.
It was now clear that Xia Fei had attacked because Solo was attacking Crane. By thrusting his sword through Crane’s body, Xia Fei had managed to block Solo’s lethal strike!
Everyone was stunned!
Such penetrating insight, and such insane execution!
No one else would have used this sort of self-destructive protective measure! But this method that severely wounded one’s own ally was the only way of protecting Crane!
“Kill him!” Xia Fei bellowed. Nirvana, Peacock Blue, and Furball rushed out! Xia Fei extracted the White Dragon’s Screech from Crane’s body and charged!
Xia Fei didn’t even glance at Old Crane. He knew that Old Crane wouldn’t die, and the sinister Solo needed to!
What a cunning snake!
Solo had first hidden in the shadows, using his view of the battlefield to help Constant retreat. After Xia Fei’s plan was exposed, Solo had used his friendship with Constant to try and kill the leader of the Founders! This was meant to deliver a huge shock to Xia Fei’s allies; his goal was still to help Constant!
1
There was no doubt that Solo and Constant were part of the same team! He was the most venomous snake hidden within the Founders!
If Xia Fei hadn’t seen through his scheme and used the most insane method to protect Crane, Xia Fei’s side would probably be severely disadvantaged at this moment!
This was no doubt the most complicated battle in history! Solo’s appearance had pushed this battle of the universe’s strongest to the absolute climax!
After saving Crane, Xia Fei continued his assault! He charged straight at this Founder who had died and been reborn, Solo!
Solo was the lone wolf of the Thirteen Founders, and Xia Fei was the lone wolf of the Demon-Sealing Fiendish Blade!
Lone wolf versus lone wolf!
It wasn’t about who was the better loner, but who was the most vicious!
*Rumble!*
Another wave rose before the first could settle! Xia Fei and Solo began to battle in the sea of stars!
Crane paled, and instantly seemed to age decades. The chests of the other Founders rose and fell as they stared in disbelief.
This scene was nothing much to Xia Fei and the Skywing Wolves, but it was far too heavy a blow for the five Founders!
After all, this was the most thorough and most insidious betrayal!
Sometimes, the universe was just amusing like that. The person who should have been your greatest comrade was actually your greatest enemy, while the person who was trying to kill you ended up saving you!
