Chapter 531 - Battle at the Summit!
Chapter 531: Battle at the Summit!
In the training room, the fragrance gradually receded, and the blue medicinal liquid in the bathtub lost its luster, becoming a little different from regular water.
Xia Fei sighed and rose from the bathtub. He dried his body and put on his clothes.
“It’s still far away. Although the medicinal liquid can stop the heat waves in my body, it can’t make those restless energy threads in the seventh brain region listen. Let’s change medicines and try again,” Phantom helplessly said.
It had been three days, but Xia Fei had still not made any progress in cultivating the Law of Energy Purification.
The medicine worth 165 grade 3 Origin Crystals had not lasted the week Phantom said. After three days, it had been all used up.
This was adding insult to injury. Xia Fei had no other choice except to consider where he might have gone wrong.
“It seems that becoming an Energy Master isn’t as easy as I thought.”
Phantom comforted Xia Fei. “You don’t have a master, and even when doing things on your own, you managed to get to 50% completion in the first level of the Law of Energy Purification. This is already very surprising. There’s no need to blame yourself.”
“I’m still lacking some sort of insight,” Xia Fei muttered to himself. “The Law of Energy Purification is different from the Law of Space or the Law of Primal Chaos. It doesn’t seem to belong to the same system at all, so my past experience won’t be of any help. I’ll have to re-experience the profundities of this law.”
His efforts were truly admirable, but Xia Fei had noticed that something was not right. In order to cultivate the Law of Energy Purification, one had to experience and comprehend it!
In the living room, Pod saw Xia Fei and hastily went to make his favorite fried paste noodles, but Xia Fei was not in the mood to eat. After feeding Furball two Origin Crystals, Xia Fei decided to take a midnight stroll.
Furball immediately jumped onto his shoulder. Now that he was full, Furball felt like it was the perfect time to curry some favor with his owner, so he began to nuzzle Xia Fei’s neck.
Xia Fei smiled and left the city with Furball for the wilderness.
In truth, while the Yu family resided on a warship, this warship was the size of a planet and played host to all kinds of gorgeous sceneries. Xia Fei had not been to many of these places, so he decided to go on some sightseeing and alleviate his bad mood.
Distance presented no problem for a speed ability user, and by the time Xia Fei came back to his senses, he was very far from the city atop a verdant mountain.
The sides of the mountain were steep, and the summit was a rock like a giant millstone. With nothing else to do, Xia Fei climbed the summit and looked up at the stars.
Xia Fei had been very curious ever since he was a child, and he liked looking up at the stars and wondering what was out there. This was a habit that he still had.
Xia Fei always found this artificial moon strange, inferior to the natural river of stars behind it.
Suddenly, he felt strong gales on all sides!
“Someone’s here!” Phantom sternly said.
“I know.”
Xia Fei did not care too much. There were around a million people in the Yu family, so there might have been a few people like him who had found it hard to sleep and decided to take a nighttime stroll.
The Yu family had a public safety division, and it had always kept the place very safe.
*Whoosh~*
A black figure swiftly moved up behind Xia Fei.
“You are Xia Fei? The new Law Adept?” that man sternly said.
Xia Fei turned his head and saw a big bald man wearing a dark combat uniform, coldly staring at him. His head was tattooed, and his bald head gleamed under the starlight.
“I am,” Xia Fei casually replied.
“Master Ghost seeks your presence. He has some matters that he wishes to discuss with you,” the baldy sternly said.
Xia Fei softly laughed. “Master Ghost? I know of a ghost, but nothing of this Master Ghost.”
The baldy slightly creased his brows. The ghost Xia Fei spoke of was naturally Phantom, but the man simply took this as disrespect to Dark Ghost.
“Once you go, you will naturally know of Master Ghost.”
“And if I don’t want to go?” Xia Fei asked.
“Then I will have to invite you to go.”
The baldy emphasized the word ‘invite’, seemingly threatening Xia Fei.
Threat?
Xia Fei had a bellyful of anger with nowhere to vent it. He wanted someone to threaten, and this baldy was threatening him?
“Anyone who wants to see me should come himself. If not, they can scram,” Xia Fei rudely said.
The baldy snorted. He had already learned from the Yu brothers that this Xia Fei was only a level 4 Law Warrior. A puny level 4 warrior dared to act so domineering? If not for Dark Ghost’s orders to capture him alive, he would already beat this fellow up.
However, Furball on Xia Fei’s shoulder left the man alarmed. Although he did not know what sort of creature Furball was, that sharp gaze could only belong to a high-grade exotic beast. Moreover, it was so arrogant that it did not even bother glancing at him.
“It seems like the exotic beast and the master are the same,” the bald man said to himself.
He waved his hand, and six more men in black appeared, surrounding Xia Fei.
Furball suddenly let out an untimely laugh. It was obvious that these people intended to encircle Xia Fei, but Furball clearly did not care.
Frowning, the baldy grunted. “Take him away! Hurry up already!”
“Yes!”
The six men charged up, and at the same time, Xia Fei lunged at them!
It was clear that these six planned to close in on Xia Fei like a net!
Xia Fei sought to break out of the net!
He would not permit himself to be placed in a passive position!
Perhaps because he was a new Law Adept, so he was not particularly well regarded in the Law Realm, but a newly promoted Law Warrior did not mean a lack of experience!
It had to be understood that Xia Fei had been killing since he was in his teens! He had experienced far too many battles!
The moment his enemies began to move out, Xia Fei had already predicted what their next move would be!
“Counterattack!” the baldy exclaimed.
In these circumstances, an inexperienced fighter who was outnumbered would choose to stay in place rather than charging in, but that would ensure that they lost the upper hand.
The six Law Warriors he had brought were not very powerful, with an average strength of level 7. They were experts in encirclement, using the Laws of Space and Matter together, such that even a Law Elder would find it hard to break out.
While Xia Fei’s choice to attack rather than defend seemed impulsive, it was actually the best way to break out!
It appeared that his decision-making ability was not weak. It could even be very strong!
Wildstorm!
His first attack was a violent and brutal technique!
Xia Fei used his speed to rush up to his first foe and swung his fist at him!
Xia Fei cared little for why these people wanted to catch him.
What was important was that he was angry and wanted to fight someone!
These people had delivered themselves to him!
Encirclement required every member to be in sync. Xia Fei did not wait for his foes to attack, going on a frenzied offense from the very start to upset his enemies’ plans!
*Bang!*
The fist infused with the power of Law of Primal Chaos was abnormally violent, and before this Law Warrior knew what was going on, he had already sent flying.
*Crack!*
Bones broke and muscles snapped!
No mercy!
One strike to take a life!
Xia Fei busted a hole through the encirclement!
Xia Fei moved again. He was very skilled in combining his speed ability with his Law energy. He knew that the Laws were his weapon, and when combined with his bizarre movement techniques, he could produce surprising results!
He walked out horizontally, a truly bizarre and flabbergasting way to move. At this moment, these warriors came to know that one could actually walk horizontally!
“Chain Blockade!”
Xia Fei was moving in an unreasonable fashion, and the move he used was even more unreasonable!
“Iron Wall!”
The Law Adept in front of him reacted rather quickly, using the Law of Matter to instantly construct a metal wall!
The metal in the soil instantly gathered together into a steel wall to stop Xia Fei!
*Rumble!*
The Chain Blockade technique Xia Fei had just used, which was designed to tear away at space, was different in that it carried warping power!
Three frenzied tornadoes tore apart the metal wall! As easily as a monster’s claws tore at the corpse of an enemy!
The metal wall had not been able to stop the tearing force, but it dropped its speed and weakened its power.
Another Law Adept rejoiced and set up a spatial wall, telling himself, “A single attack shouldn’t be able to break through both Laws of Matter and Space defenses, right?”
Rumble!
When Xia Fei’s spatial fissure collided against the spatial wall, it created a massive boom!
Because of the wall created from the Law of Matter, the tornadoes had no choice except to stop.
The Adept became slightly smug.
Alas, while the spatial tear had stopped, Xia Fei had not!
“Break for me!”
Xia Fei roared! Holding October Flying Snow in his hand, he punched at the spatial wall!
His fist blasted through the wall and struck the man right in the forehead!
*Bang!*
The person’s brain cracked open!
White and red flesh splattered across the summit!
The punch did not stop there. There was another Adept behind him who used the Law of Matter, but before he could react, a silver dagger swept across his neck!
Fast! Sharp! Not even leaving behind a single wound!
*Crack!*
Xia Fei flicked his fingers, sending the man’s head flying off like a ball!
All of this took mere seconds. The encirclement of six had halved its number in the blink of an eye!
“Feels good!”
Once Xia Fei got going, he would not stop, not until all his enemies were dead!
The six-man encirclement had been broken, and there was no way the remaining three would be any match for Xia Fei!
*Bang!*
The last Law Adept took a Wildstorm punch straight to the chest!
His depression had been completely swept away. Xia Fei stared at the bald man several dozen meters away. Furball felt tired, and all he had done throughout was simply watch Xia Fei. In his view, these foes were not worthy of his power.
“Such a violent fist technique,” the baldy said with a hearty laugh. “It seems like I’ve underestimated you. Although you’re only level 4, you have first-class combat strength among your peers. Of course, your speed ability also plays a big role in allowing you to make surprise attacks.
“However, what I’m most interested in is those spatial tears of yours. It seems to contain some unique energy. Can you tell me what it is?”
He was naturally referring to the Law of Primal Chaos. The special reversal properties of this law had been developed by the God race, and humans had no understanding of it.
Xia Fei was not so foolish to reveal the secret of the Law of Primal Chaos.
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning in the distance. Xia Fei smiled. “The Yu family guards have already noticed your intrusion. It seems to me that you need to think about how to get out of here in one piece.”
The baldy coldly laughed. “The Yu family? I can go wherever I want. Nobody should even think about trying to stop me.
“Come on. Let me see what sort of power you’re using!”
He suddenly disappeared, and when he next appeared, he was right in front of Xia Fei!
His right hand crackled with lightning! Blue sparks of electricity leaked out from between his fingers!
“Instant movement!” Xia Fei mentally exclaimed.
The baldy’s hand thrust like a knife at Xia Fei’s heart!
