Chapter 691 - Phoenix Tail Stone versus Peacock Blue
Chapter 691: Phoenix Tail Stone versus Peacock Blue
“You forgot. There’s more than just one Immemorial Mystical Armament…”
Xia Fei craftily smiled and his eyes exploded with light! He did not seem one bit dejected or despairing.
Quinn was startled and could not help but be annoyed. Xia Fei was clearer on the backfoot, and even Holy Beast Shatterstar was locked in an arduous battle. He really did not know where Xia Fei’s self-confidence was coming from.
“Hmph! Good! You recognized this as an Immemorial Mystical Armament! If you’re smart, you’ll hand over the prescription. I might be happy enough to let you live!” Quinn placed his hands behind his back and coldly said.
It appeared that Quinn had truly been put through some suffering by Oro’s Law of Darkness. Even up to this point, when they were already fighting against each other, he was still thinking about the prescription. It turned out that Quinn had intentionally been holding back and sparing Xia Fei because he still wanted to cure his illness.
Alas, Xia Fei would never treat his illness, only take his life!
“Keep dreaming!” Xia Fei laughed. “There’s no saving this life of yours!”
*Whoosh~*
His body blinked away as Xia Fei attacked once more.
The Blood Crystal in his left hand was slightly raised, making an unremarkable strike at Quinn’s waist!
“Hmph!”
Enraged, Quinn had the five Phoenix Tail Stones at his side form a five-pointed star, which acted as a shield that barred Xia Fei’s path!
“Peacock Blue, it’s your turn!”
*Rumble!*
Three thorny blades of bluegrass flew through the air like giant snakes, extending from Xia Fei’s right arm and instantly reaching lengths of more than one hundred meters!
The blades of grass were thick and long, yet they were also nimble. They agilely moved through the air like the limbs of a giant octopus, sweeping up all five Phoenix Tail Stones.
If Quinn’s Immemorial Mystical Armament, the Phoenix Tail Stone, was like seven cursed blades with minds of their own that danced through the air, then Xia Fei’s Peacock Blue was like the giant hand of a god!
Although this hand had only three fingers, it was agile and able to take many forms. With a vicious grab, it held fast all of the Phoenix Tail Stones!
“What is this?!” Quinn could not help but blurt out in alarm as he backed away three steps. The battle had been going on for ten-some minutes, but this was the first time Quinn had moved his feet.
The sudden appearance of Peacock Blue left him stunned beyond words. That savage bluegrass gave a very familiar feeling to Quinn; it was the feeling of an Immemorial Mystical Armament!
He suddenly recalled Xia Fei’s casual comment from earlier: “There’s more than just one Immemorial Mystical Armament!”
Quinn was dealt a heavy mental blow. Xia Fei did not seem old, so it was one thing for him to be a top-class apothecary, yet he also had the Holy Beast Shatterstar! Added to that was decent fighting experience and cultivation, and now, there was even an Immemorial Mystical Armament!
‘What a troublesome opponent!’ Quinn mentally groaned when he saw Peacock Blue.
In truth, there was no need to be so surprised, for he had yet to see everything that Xia Fei had in his arsenal!
*Rumble!*
The Phoenix Tail Stone was the existence among the Four Stones of the Southern Star closest to metal. Not only did it have a mind of its own, it was as sharp as the fin of a shark! After enclosing the Phoenix Tail Stones, Peacock Blue used its tough and thorn-covered body to crush them, but after a moment of panic, the Phoenix Tail Stones counterattacked. A sharp stone covered in bright yellow flames charged out with a *whoosh*!
Quinn was encouraged by this sight and loudly laughed. “Though I don’t know the name of your Immemorial Mystical Armament, it clearly can’t control the Phoenix Tail Stone!”
*Whoosh~*
As he spoke, Peacock Blue sent out a blade of grass, which nimbly swept back up the Phoenix Tail Stone that had just escaped!
Quinn became embarrassed. He had not expected Xia Fei’s Immemorial Mystical Armament to be so tenacious, so stubborn and unrelenting. Even if it had to use its life, it would suppress the Phoenix Tail Stone!
The intense counterattack of the Phoenix Tail Stone had left Peacock Blue battered and punctured, and blue plant bits would frequently drift down from the sky like a blue blizzard was taking place.
However, Peacock Blue had the attributes of a plant, and it was constantly growing back what was destroyed, so the marks made by the Phoenix Tail Stone swiftly healed. Moreover, the blades of grass grew longer and longer, already reaching five hundred meters!
The little Phoenix Tail Stone fighting against Peacock Blue was like seven blades of grass fighting against a skyscraping tree. The two simply were not opponents of the same weight class!
This was a contest of control and anti-control. Xia Fei’s goal was very simple. Be it Peacock Blue or Furball, neither was capable of completely crushing the Phoenix Tail Stone. All they needed to do was hold it down!
With the Phoenix Tail Stone held down, Quinn would lose his greatest source of power, and a tiger without claws or teeth was a much weaker opponent!
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei clenched his teeth and shot forward, instantly making more than one hundred attacks with the Blood Crystal in his left hand! Each one of them aimed at Quinn’s vital points!
Peacock Blue and Furball together had given Xia Fei a chance at an even fight. What mattered now was whether or not he could kill this Great Law Emperor!
“Law of Darkness! Devouring Cloud Hand!”
Quinn finally lost his composure and used the law force he specialized in, the Law of Darkness!
*Bang!*
Quinn’s arms suddenly became massive, like two dense black clouds, and with a swing of his arms, these clouds pursued and attacked Xia Fei!
Up until now, Quinn had relied entirely on the Phoenix Tail Stone to fight, not using any of his own power. Now that all of the Phoenix Tail Stone was being held down by Peacock Blue and Furball, Quinn had to contend against Xia Fei’s forceful offensive all by himself!
*Whoosh!*
A fist of black metal swept toward Xia Fei with the force of a thousand-kilogram hammer!
Xia Fei used Crafty Approach and his superspeed to dodge the attack and circle around Quinn, seeking an opening.
Quinn’s arms swiftly spun around like machines, creating an impenetrable offense. At the same time, Quinn was looking for an opening that he could use to kill Xia Fei.
The battle entered a stalemate. Xia Fei could not let the Law of Darkness get close to him, for it carried an infectiously corrosive force. The reason Quinn had been so severely maimed was that darkness energy had thoroughly penetrated into his body.
While the Law Powers of the God Race were impressive and grandiose, the Demon Race’s Law Powers were not as flashy, yet they concealed vicious aftereffects!
The Law of Darkness had an extremely yin nature, while the Law of Light had an extremely yang nature!
According to ancient texts, sapient lifeforms emphasized a balance of yin and yang. If extreme yin or extreme yang power penetrated into the body, it would inevitably result in an imbalance of yin and yang, which would deal unbearable damage to the lifeform.
The Laws of Space and Matter, used by the God Race, attacked out the side, tearing apart the enemy, but the Laws of Darkness and Light, used by the Demon Race, had the goal of destroying vitality! By attacking vitality, they destroyed the foundation of the enemy’s ability to live!
It was hard to say which of the Law Powers used by the two supreme races was stronger, but the Laws of the Demon Race were more sinister, a fact widely acknowledged by all.
The forces of darkness and light were so powerful that even the top-class war armor from the Fig Corporation that Xia Fei was wearing could only alleviate the effects somewhat. It could not stop the darkness from infiltrating into his body! Thus, Xia Fei could not directly take on the Law of Darkness, only avoid it.
Xia Fei did not dare to directly clash with the Law of Darkness, but Quinn also had no means of catching Xia Fei. This was because Xia Fei’s movements were far too bizarre, and his speed was too fast. Unless he unleashed an all-encompassing darkness attack, engulfing this entire area in Law of Darkness’ force, he would find it hard to catch the slippery Xia Fei.
However, using this sort of darkness attack was a heavy load on his body, and Quinn was already nearly half-crippled. There was no telling how much pain he would risk suffering from unleashing such a move with his Law of Darkness.
Quinn furrowed his brows and looked up.
The battle in the air had not stopped. Though neither Furball nor Peacock Blue had completely matured yet, and both were still in their juvenile stage, their combined might was no weaker than Phoenix Tail Stone!
Quinn was too afraid to use too much Law Force with his Law of Darkness, which gave Xia Fei a chance!
When two powers fought, it was always the courageous one who would win. Xia Fei’s reckless and suicidal temperament once more erupted!
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*
He moved faster and faster, becoming like a shooting star. He tried again and again to get closer to Quinn and send the Blood Crystal into his body.
Quinn did not know the power of the Blood Crystal, but from its garish red hue and cold aura, he could tell that this dagger was not something as simple as a weapon for killing. Otherwise, given the numerous weapons Xia Fei had, he would have never used this bloody dagger.
Furball went all out to get results. He threw his body in a collision against a Phoenix Tail Stone, once, twice, thrice, a hundred times, and even a thousand times!
The energy barrier around his body was his weapon, and stiff resistance with his body was how he used it!
*Rumble!*
Furball’s body suddenly disappeared, and a second later, he had collided with one of the Phoenix Tail Stones! Creating an explosive sound that was similar to the sound made when meteors collided!
Finally, after these constant attacks, a thin crack appeared on the surface of that Phoenix Tail Stone.
While it was just an unremarkable wound, it was proof enough that the more frenzied Furball had seized the upper hand in this clash! Given enough time, Phoenix Tail Stone was not unbreakable!
Xia Fei faintly smiled. Furball and Peacock Blue were performing so well. As their master, he had no reason to give up!
*Rumble!*
Xia Fei released Law of Space’s force again and again, and he used his speed and movement techniques to the limit, holding down Quinn in an area of ten square meters!
That lion face beneath Quinn’s mask turned grim. He had to admit that he had underestimated Xia Fei. Without the help of the Phoenix Tail Stone, he was now firmly suppressed by Xia Fei, unable to move. Remaining in this state would not turn out well.
However, it was in desperate times when warriors were at their most frightening, for this was when they would use suicidal measures!
Quinn was now in dire straits, and his eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light. He roared with all his strength, “Endless Night!”
Law of Darkness’ force erupted from Quinn’s body. He was a furious lion, not caring for the consequences as he unleashed his strongest attack!
“Not good! This is a top-tier martial technique of our Lionheart Royalty! When used, this entire region of space will be invaded by darkness!” Oro nervously said.
Furball, Peacock Blue, and Phoenix Tail Stone all stopped fighting and nervously turned to Quinn. As beings with intelligence, they all felt a hint of danger from Quinn’s bearing.
The Law of Primal Chaos could counter the Law Powers of Space and Matter, as far as Xia Fei knew, but could it counter the Laws of the Demon Race?
Xia Fei did not have much time. His body suddenly vanished, and then he thrust his palms forward. “Law of Primal Chaos! Double Falling Leaves of Autumn’s Demise!”
