Chapter 737 - The Changes to Furball and Peacock Blue!
Chapter 737: The Changes to Furball and Peacock Blue!
The preparations made by the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall for this conflict were clearly more than sufficient, as it had not taken a long time for them to bring onboard Xia Tian’s injury-ridden body.
The power behind a clash with Law Integration was truly appalling. Xia Tian’s condition at this time was critical, and even after the doctors had employed their best treatment to heal the man, fresh blood still flowed freely even from the bandaged parts, which was evidence of just how severe the injuries he had received.
With great difficulty, Xia Tian pulled out that pair of exquisitely golden wire-framed glasses from his spatial ring, putting them on with bloodstained fingertips, causing a trace of red to smudge his spectacles.
“Patriarch…” said Xia Tian softly.
Xia Buyun hurriedly bent down and held Xia Tian, somberly remarking, “You didn’t lose! Ulcen Ward has a lot more injuries than you do!”
“Huuu!”
Xia Tian exhaled as his expression softened quite a bit. “That’s good. It’s a good thing I didn’t disgrace the name of Skywings.”
Xia Fei was astonished. To think that Xia Tian would actually place the clan’s interest so highly!
Xia Tian not only did not lose; he even brought glory to them! To begin with, Ulcen Ward possessed a higher level than him. The man had even used some special drugs to enhance his combat strength greatly! Everyone was already amazed to the point of bewilderment that Xia Tian could force the fight to a draw! Especially when he revealed that wildly arrogant temperament of his at the last minute, it was a sight that no one would soon forget!
The treatment team of the Skywings quickly took over and tended to Xia Tian’s injuries, sending him back to Wind Garden.
The blood boiled in the room; killing intent spilling from everyone’s faces!
Xia Zonghai glanced over at Xia Fei before addressing Xia Buyun with a stern expression on his face, “Patriarch, let’s revolt! Who cares about that d*mn Dragon Ascension Martial Hall or the Moonward Clan? Let’s kill them all!”
“That’s right! We’ll kill them all!”
“We’ll slay anyone and everyone who dares get in our Skywing Clan’s way!”
The heavy injuries inflicted on Xia Tian had agitated the rest of the clan! These Law Emperors from Skywing had all turned into howling wolves, ravenous for kills, each of them looking fierce!
Obviously, with a win and a draw, the final round would decide the outcome of this clash, but the final round was between Law Emperor Xia Fei and level 5 Law Overlord Golcen Ward! No one believed that Xia Fei had the ability to overcome such unfavorable odds!
Amid the complaints from his fellow clansmen, Xia Buyun truly had his doubts. According to the instructions of their grand ancestor, they should start a slaughter the moment something went awry! There was no need for them to show mercy! However, doing so would result in the Skywings offending the entire Law Realm. Wth the Skywings suffering heavy losses alongside the Moonwards just to draw a resolution to the matter, they may be unable to get a single foothold in White Horse Constellation from then on!
These warriors of Skywings all had hearts of steel, good men and women who would do exactly what they claimed they would do no matter how they ended up. Xia Buyun was very certain that even if they had to leave White Horse Constellation, they would still be able to carve out a piece of land of their own.
What about the grand ancestor of theirs in the God Race, though? It was Xia Buyun who had caused trouble while leading his fellow clansmen in White Horse Constellation, even implicating their ancestor up there in the process. The fights and internal clashes that may spill over to the God Race would surely be even more intense than the ones currently happening in White Horse Constellation; thus, if their ancestor ended up declaring war against the entire God Race in a fit of rage, he would surely be the one suffering at the end of the day! Furthermore, considering the vehemently unreasonable personality of their grand ancestor, this possibility was absolutely not out of the question!
There were simply too many complications to this, so no matter how hard Xia Buyun thought of a viable plan, he simply could not come with one.
This was when Xia Fei, someone whom none of them cared to notice, suddenly stood up. He addressed the crowd in a low voice, “Everyone, it’s about time for me to fight. Why don’t we continue this discussion after my fight with Gulcen Ward ends?”
The Skywing warriors were not the sort to be easily rattled. They knew fully well that there was a wide chasm existing between the two combatants in terms of level, so Xia Fei steadfastly voicing his resolve to fight made everyone aware of his tenacious nature.
“You? No way! Absolutely no way! Even our venerable patriarch might not dare to face Golcen Ward head on; you’re simply courting death if you go!” Xia Zonghai shook his head vigorously as he dissuaded him.
“That’s right! We, Skywings, aren’t at our wits’ end yet. We don’t need you to shoulder clan matters of such immense proportion! Besides, even if we really are beside ourselves, it’ll be us, your seniors, who ought to bear the brunt!”
The Skywings were famed for how much they protected their young and for their unreasonableness. The whole lot of them shared the same view regarding Xia Fei’s request; they would not let Xia Fei take on Golcen Ward even over their dead bodies.
Xia Fei was somewhat worried, and that feeling of despondency in his heart suddenly exploded!
“All of you, shut up!” Xia Fei gritted his teeth and viciously spat. “Whether I take this fight or not, it’s my business! All of you had better forget about holding me back! Besides, since I’m able to cut off one of Ulcen Ward’s arms, I might just be able to kill Golcen Ward as well! Those 14,700 grade 5 Origin Crystals that Grandpa Laoshi spent on me weren’t in vain! I might not have been a match to Golcen Ward a month ago, but that doesn’t mean that it’ll still be the case now!”
Everyone was surprised. As Xia Fei’s seniors, no one had expected him to shout back at them.
After he said his piece, Xia Fei turned and left, his two hands shoving away the few seniors who were standing in the way, not once turning his head back as he entered the assembly room. Everyone was still in shock, so no one managed to stop him.
“Did that rascal Xia Fei just ask me to shut up?” Xia Zonghai pointed at himself and asked, puzzled.
“Seems like it!”
“It’s not just you. Even our patriarch got chided…”
“Tsk!” Xia Zonghai only reacted at this time, shouting, “Whose descendant is this? So wild!”
Xia Niu shrugged helplessly as he patted Xia Zonghai’s back. “Seems like he’s from our clan.”
Everyone was speechless. All the Skywings were madmen, so Xia Fei did not seem too eye-catching when he joined them. Unfortunately, that was all just an illusion. When something really occurred, Xia Fei’s obstinate temper would still get riled up, and it was evident that, even when he was among this group of madmen, he still could be considered the most insane.
“What do we do now, patriarch?”
Xia Buyun shook his head and solemnly answered, “Since Xia Fei has already made his mind up, we can only watch him for now, but the moment something goes wrong, hmph! We’ll flatten the Moonward Clan!”
……
“No way! Have the Skywings gone insane! They’re actually sending Xia Fei to confront Golcen Ward!” a warrior in the main lounge exclaimed.
The difference in strength easily caused everyone present to think back on that first fight when Xia Buyun so easily slayed Yu Hua with one move. Many of them felt that the moment Xia Fei stepped up to fight, the conclusion would be decided equally fast!
With the planet that had been designated as the battlefield already destroyed by the clash between two Law Overlords, this new one chosen to be their alternate battlefield was even more desolate than the last. Black rock covered the land, with no sense of life anywhere. Even humans would have trouble breathing when standing on it.
“Don’t forget that, just a month ago, Xia Fei fought the Law Overlord Ulcen Ward to a draw, even managing to chop off an arm of his opponent. Perhaps the Skywings are just very confident in him.”
“That’s impossible! Golcen Ward isn’t Ulcen Ward. Aside from Kuzan Feng, who else will be a match to him? In just a month’s time, no matter how much Xia Fei has improved, there’s no way he can reach a level where he is able to contend with Golcen Ward.”
Discussions were aplenty. No one was optimistic about Xia Fei’s chances. Standing in an inconspicuous corner of the room were Xiaoyu and Mu Fuping; worry was etched on both their faces. For some reason, the Snowdrift Clan’s Autumn Cicada was also feeling very uncomfortable inside, but just like before, this innocent lady had no idea why she would feel worried for a stranger.
‘I’m probably influenced by Xiaoyu’s emotions, right?’ muttered Autumn Cicada to herself as she looked at the extremely nervous Xiaoyu, whose fists were balled up, beside her.
…….
With black rocks jutting out here and there, Xia Fei and Golcen Ward stood like two white gleaming lights on that battlefield.
Everyone saw that excited smile on Golcen Ward’s face. He was elated that Xia Fei dared to challenge him into a fight. After all, standing before him was the cause of everything, the one who made his brother suffer and brought great harm to the entire Moonward Clan! As far as enemies went, Xia Fei was his most hated nemesis!
Xia Fei calmly gazed ahead, not making a sound. The vampiric dagger, Blood Crystal, was hidden under his sleeve.
“You’re Xia Fei?” Golden Ward growled.
Xia Fei did not answer beyond a slight nod.
“Because Ulcen believed the lie you spouted, he cultivated his law power in reverse. It caused irreparable damage to his mind. You’re to carry this debt even in the afterlife, and with the name of the Moonward Clan as guarantee, I promise to make you suffer a terrible death today!” Golcen Ward spat these words with overt aggression.
Xia Fei was first surprised, but the corners of his lips curled up into an evocative smile as he softly commented, “Did Ulcen Ward really believe that? Hahahaha! That’s gotta be the funniest story I’ve ever heard my entire life. Let me tell you a secret: Stupidity is incurable, and no one can remedy that.”
*Zing*
Golcen Ward’s face turned livid. His biological brother had just been ridiculed by Xia Fei for his foolishness, and there was no way a big brother like him would feel good hearing that.
“Enough nonsense! Whether it’s you or the Skywings, you’re all going to die!”
With that said, Golden Ward unleashed his Law of Matter as he attacked Xia Fei. He was feeling abnormally annoyed and no longer wanted to see another glimpse of Xia Fei!
“Crafty Approach!”
Lithe and limber, Xia Fei suddenly disappeared from where he was standing. Crafty Approach was already what gave Xia Fei such an unpredictable physical agility, and now that Xia Fei’s speed had improved further, it would of course be all the more bizarre and stranger!
Golcen Ward’s attacks were like a flurry of blows raining down on him. The Spatial Compaction martial arts technique was squeezing the location Xia Fei was at, and were it not for his physical agility, he would surely suffer heavy injuries the moment he got caught in the compressed space!
*Bang*
Golcen Ward was worthy of being a Law Overlord; Xia Fei was a tad slow evading, and that was enough for the former’s spatial compaction to land on the latter’s left shoulder. Fortunately, the Monohorn Ogre war armor was of high enough level, such that this strike from Golcen Ward only caused a slight dent on it and did not result in any substantial harm to Xia Fei’s body.
“That armor! Is Xia Fei actually wearing the top-grade war armor of the Skywings, that Monohorn Ogre or something?”
“Indeed, I wouldn’t have noticed it if you didn’t mention it. That sharp and short thorn on the helmet. That’s clearly the war armor from Fig Corporation, the Monohorn Ogre!”
“The war armor actually ended up being owned by Xia Fei! The Skwing Clan sure treats its newest member well.”
Everyone was shocked, believing that the Skywings had gifted the Monohorn Ogre to Xia Fei. What they did not know, though, was that Xia Fei had won the war armor by proving himself through reaching the maximum speed a speed ability user could achieve!
The fight was abnormally tense; Xia Fei could only defend, not attack, so this fight with a stark disparity in strength lost some of its suspense.
Still, Xia Fei’s physical agility had won the praise of these elites. After all, it was no easy feat for anyone to avoid the harried attacks of a level 5 Law Overlord.
His two eyes were alert!
Xia Fei kept carefully observing as he dodged and weaved. After Xia Tian’s savage match with Ulcen Ward, Xia Fei had a measure of understanding regarding the secret techniques that Moonward Clan possessed; of course, the Law Overlord Golcen Ward was a lot more powerful and faster than his brother, Ulcen Ward.
Xia Fei was searching for a good opportunity to strike, but there was none! He must not act rashly!
*Rumble*
The fight was thrilling; at this time, Xia Fei had once managed to avoid the ranged attacks of Golcen Ward. Bending over, he looked like he would fall.
‘Chance!’ Golcen Ward’s eyes glowed, and he used his instantaneous spatial movement technique to close in on Xia Fei from his position!
The corner of Xia Fei’s lips curled up once more. The reason why Crafty Approach had its name was precisely that he could make such unconventional and strange movements, making it look like he accidentally tripped himself when actually this blunder was committed by him on purpose!
*BOOM!*
Peacock Blue had suddenly burrowed into the soil, hiding himself sinisterly, as a white streak of light came shooting forth from Xia Fei’s bosom!
Someone with sharp eyes would notice that Peacock Blue now had four bluegrass blades! The stubborn weed had one more compared to what it had in the past! Meanwhile, that white streak of light was the Holy Beast Shatterstar!
One month ago, Peacock Blue only had three bluegrass blades, and Furball had a golden color, yet now, these two loyal combat comrades of Xia Fei had advanced by a lot compared to before!
After digesting 14,700 grade 5 Origin Crystals, Xia Fei was not the only one who had changed!
