Black!?

Xia Fei hadn’t expected Snake Ghost’s body to undergo such a momentous transformation after saying those inexplicable words, a faint black creeping up the Blueblood’s body.

Why was it black?

The Bluebloods were famous for their soulgems, but weren’t their soulgems supposed to be blue?

In a flash, countless questions popped up in Xia Fei’s mind. Snake Ghost’s transformation left Xia Fei feeling very confused.

There was a rumbling as Snake Ghost suddenly spread out his arms and roared, his body flashing with blue and black light.

“I am Snake Ghost, the most formidable snake charmer in history!” Snake Ghost roared.

The moment he said those words, Xia Fei lunged ahead, raising his fist and charging up the power of the Law of Primal Chaos as he punched!

Xia Fei had been observing silently the whole time, and Snake Ghost felt like a very different sort of enemy. Thus, he didn’t fight with his usual methods, instead directly resorting to the Law of Primal Chaos! He seized the moment where Snake Ghost had forgotten himself in his rage to make a lethal strike!

Bang!

This chest smashed straight into Snake Ghost’s chest and sent him flying!

This was truly exquisite mockery. Snake Ghost had just called himself the most formidable snake charmer in history when Xia Fei had sent him flying!

Snake Ghost smashed loudly through several of the debris piles in dark space and vanished into the distance, but Xia Fei didn’t feel happy about his punch. On the contrary, he had a very strange look on his face.

“He’s not dead!?” Radix was also astonished. Xia Fei’s Law of Primal Chaos was heaven-defying, and anyone who wasn’t too many ranks above Xia Fei would die if hit by this unreasonable law force!

But Snake Ghost had not!

There was a ball of blackness in front of his chest, and that blackness had blocked Xia Fei’s attack!

Absurd!

Bluebloods all had Azure Soulgems, but Snake Ghost’s soulgem had a ball of black fog!?

The Law of Primal Chaos could reverse everything, but Snake Ghost had blocked it! How was that possible!?

“You should have let me go,” Radix said. The Fiendish Blade Nirvana that Radix controlled could devour energy. Radix felt that if Xia Fei had thrown out the Fiend Blade, he could have heavily injured Snake Ghost!

At that moment, a hair-raising noise resounded through the dark space, as unpleasant as fingers scratching a chalkboard.

At the same time, countless King Fog Snakes began to appear, their golden eyes staring at Xia Fei and their venomous fangs flashing.

“Finally here,” Xia Fei grimly said. “Everyone, be careful.”

Bang!

As he spoke, Little Goldie suddenly went crazy!

What had come over him? He lunged out all on his own, his eyes red with bloodlust as he roared.

“Eh?” Xia Fei could clearly sense something different about Little Goldie. He was normally quite simple and obedient, always following behind Furball. He also had a good temper and was rarely angry, unlike Furball, who would start a massacre without a second thought.

But today, Little Goldie’s body was shaking with violence! There was a reckless impulse that everyone could sense. Even more strange was that Little Goldie was perfectly fine a few moments ago. He had just inexplicably gone crazy!

Furball started moving, putting himself in front of Little Goldie, but whatever had possessed Little Goldie made him ignore Furball! He continued to heedlessly charge forward! In the blink of an eye, he had begun battling the King Fog Snakes. His body was small, and he drilled into the body of a King Fog Snake to do something vicious.

To Xia Fei’s surprise, in this state, Little Goldie displayed several times more combat power! The little golden fellow moved quickly and ruthlessly! Once he was inside the body of the King Fog Snake, he attacked its brain! He quickly and decisively killed two of them!

Furball seemed to be spurred on by Little Goldie, and the two of them began a snake-killing competition!

Furball used his head like a ram, plunging into a King Fog Snake’s body before using his energy cannon to obliterate its brain!

His small body finally proved useful. The snakes that Snake Ghost had called over were all clumsy and huge, and they had no recourse against the palm-sized Furball and Little Goldie!

It was like an elephant versus an ant. Once an ant was crawling on an elephant’s body, the clumsy elephants wouldn’t be able to shake them off!

“You go too!” Xia Fei ordered Radix.

Radix was startled, and then he joined Little Goldie and Furball in battle, three different streaks of light shooting around crazily, inflicting lethal damage wherever they went.

On the other side, Snake Ghost raced toward Xia Fei like a comet. At the same time, Xia Fei accelerated to meet him as he raised a fist.

Xia Fei had always been known for having many cards and weapons, but this time, he wasn’t using any sort of weapon. Was he going to insist on beating Snake Ghost with just his fists? It had to be understood that the Law of Primal Chaos had just proved itself to be ineffective on Snake Ghost!

Bang!

Snake Ghost howled and thrust out his blue arms, which instantly turned into snakes! Crystalline snakes!

Two blue snakes attacked from the left and right, opening their mouths and biting at Xia Fei!

“Crafty Approach!”

The sprinting Xia Fei suddenly made an inconceivable turn, his slender body twisting around and squeezing through an extremely narrow gap!

And rather than slowing down, he got even faster!

Bang!

Another punch came in at Snake Ghost’s chest, and Snake Ghost was sent flying once more.

But after the last time, Xia Fei wasn’t willing to let him go. Accelerating, he caught up to Snake Ghost and raised his fists high, smashing down at Snake Ghost’s body once more!

An observant person would notice that in these three consecutive punches, Xia Fei had hit Snake Ghost in the same spot. These weren’t just pure attacks, but a means of testing Snake Ghost’s resistance!

The situation was rather weird. Xia Fei was only using his fists, yet he had the Annihilator-grade Fiend Lock, the Twin Wing Roar and its formless attacks, the White Dragon’s Screech, and Peacock Blue. Even without Furball, Little Goldie, and the Nirvana Fiend Blade, Xia Fei still had countless trump cards!

But Xia Fei seemed to be sure about something, so instead of using all those weapons, he used only his fists!

This assault left Snake Ghost in a disastrous state. The King Fog Snakes that he was so proud of were being suppressed by the even more savage Little Goldie and Furball, and he himself was locked in battle with the speedy Xia Fei.

Speed types were truly hard to deal with. Even though Snake Ghost was at a higher level than Xia Fei, in close combat he had no means of defending himself. The punches rained down, and Xia Fei was truly ruthless, striking at the same spot repeatedly!

Bang!

Finally, Xia Fei’s fist pierced through Snake Ghost’s body! His fist entered through Snake Ghost’s chest and out his back!

Thump!

Snake Ghost’s legs gave out, and he dropped limply to the ground. It was clear that the number one snake charmer was no match for Xia Fei!

Xia Fei had only six Soul Marks, but his combat power was Annihilator-class!

“Talk! What’s that black ball in your body!? Why can it block my Law of Primal Chaos!?”

Xia Fei tied Fiend Lock around Snake Ghost’s body. The hair-thin chain was incredibly sharp, and Xia Fei just needed to pull it to slice Snake Ghost into pieces.

Confession through torture was one of Xia Fei’s skills, but to his surprise, this Snake Ghost was an unyielding character!

His body erupted with light. Without saying a word, he chose to detonate his body and die with Xia Fei!

Pa!

Xia Fei very reluctantly pulled on Fiend Lock, and in a flash, Snake Ghost’s body was sliced into several hundred pieces!

Bluebloods had soulgems, and their detonations were extremely intense, so Xia Fei wasn’t willing to take that risk.

—

In the distance, Merry was dumbfounded. Xia Fei had slain the number two figure of the Fog Fortress, just like that!

Moreover, Xia Fei had displayed astonishing combat power. Only an Annihilator Spiritualist could deal with him. Even Annihilator Soul Hunters and Soul Eaters were no match for him!

The speed type truly made for the most heaven-defying warriors!

The moment Snake Ghost died, the King Fog Snakes began to flee. Little Goldie continued to pursue, howling like a crazed demon.

Pa!

Xia Fei caught up and grabbed Little Goldie, pressing him to the ground and saying, “Something is wrong with Goldie. The rest of you, keep watch!”

Furball, Radix, and Peacock Blue swiftly took up their positions, ceasing to chase the snakes. They were very worried. Little Goldie had always been a very simple fellow. There was definitely something very wrong with him.

White spiritual energy flowed as Xia Fei used the healing power that only he had on Little Goldie. Little Goldie was still howling at first, but after a few minutes, perhaps because he was tired, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

“What’s wrong with Little Goldie?” Radix asked.

Xia Fei stood up and glanced at the sleeping Little Goldie before saying, “There seems to be something in his stomach that’s expanding rapidly. It has an astonishing energy value. Fortunately, Little Goldie has impressive digestive powers and is swiftly absorbing this energy. I think he ate something he shouldn’t have eaten.”

“Indigestion? That shouldn’t have made him go crazy!” Radix exclaimed in shock.

Xia Fei said, “It’s hard to say. Energy has attributes. Just like how Origin Energy is very violent, but can be absorbed by warriors once refined, Goldie might have eaten some sort of energy vessel that made him go crazy.”

Radix and Xia Fei dropped their heads and began to think. Goldie had gone crazy after killing that largest King Fog Snake. Had he eaten something in the snake while burrowing through its body?

Xia Fei suddenly recalled that food treatment manual Fuchen had handed to him, the Serpent-Swallowing Whale.

There were many methods of devouring exotic beasts and even mythical beasts to strengthen oneself in that book, but all those methods came with huge risks and were at odds with the original goal of food therapy to nourish the body. Thus, they were considered highly efficacious, high-risk methods.

Little Goldie’s condition was rather similar to what had been described in the book.

As he was thinking, Xia Fei heard Radix cry out in surprise, “Xia Fei, look! Goldie is changing!”

Whoosh!

Xia Fei quickly turned around and saw Little Goldie’s body giving off a faint golden light. He seemed to be growing larger while he slept, and it wasn’t long before he had grown to the size of a kitten!

It had to be understood that Little Goldie had originally been the size of a cicada chrysalis, and while he still wasn’t that big, he was at least one hundred times larger than before!

Furball grumbled, his eyes going round. It was clear that Little Goldie had gotten larger, and Furball was now once more the smallest! For a mighty Holy Beast to be the smallest was simply something Holy Beast Shatterstar couldn’t accept!

Xia Fei squatted down to take a look before crying out in glee, “It seems like he’s promoting!”
