Chapter 881 - Killing a Law Sage!
Chapter 881: Killing a Law Sage!
*Kaboom*
Xia Fei used his Law of Primal Chaos and forcibly created a crack open in that protective layer, darting right in!
“Awesome! Xia Fei really succeeded in getting in! I wonder, though… Just how did he do it?”
“Most likely because he’s our clan’s lone wolf. Hahahahaha!”
The wolves of the Skywings let out a raucous laughter in the middle of a battlefield, completely disregarding their enemies! It must be said that they were currently being surrounded by a hundred and fifty Demon Race warriors at the moment!
“Skywing business! Those uninvolved can scram!” The slogan of the Skywings rang out once more!
It was as if the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade really liked this slogan. Though they said the uninvolved should scram, it actually did not matter whether they fled or otherwise, as long as these maniacs landed their eyes on anyone, all that would follow was death!
Death for those who scrammed or not!
It was not a slogan but basically a declaration of unsheathing the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade!
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh*
Moving at great speeds, since these twelve Law Sages of the Skywing Clan could force their way in, naturally they could also force their way out!
None of these hundred fifty Demon Race warriors actually dared to get in their way, allowing this pack of the most vicious wolves in the Law Realm to return to where they came from with hardly any resistance at all, which in turn angered the peak Law Sages who were in charge of the troops!
Alas, no matter how angry they felt, none of them could really fault their men. After all, this was the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade that they were talking about! No one would willingly provoke this bunch of maniacs if anyone could avoid crossing swords with them.
Very soon, Xia Ke and Xia Guanghai got far away with the other Law Sages in their pack. The Energy cannon, Azure Dragon Soul Meteor, was raised aloft by Xia Ke. As long as anyone dared to give chase, they would be the recipient of a deadly blast!
Meanwhile, Xia Geng, who was quietly sitting to one side, used his first-rate Law of Search in the God Race to begin sweeping for their enemies’ movement.
The Law of Search was also a derivative law of the Law of Space and was officially called the Law of Spatial Distribution Search. As a good majority of the Skywing clansmen cultivated the Law of Space, the talented Xia Geng was given the important duty of cultivating this law concurrently.
Xia Geng had paid a great price to achieve a first-rate mastery of the law, causing his cultivation of the Law of Speed to fall behind several members of the clan. It was rare to find a talented individual like Xia Fei, who could cultivate so many different laws simultaneously, after all. Truly, there were not many freaks out there who could quickly pick up everything they learned.
“How’s the situation?” asked Xia Guanghai. At the moment, they were already far beyond the visual range of the Demon Race warriors. They could only rely on Xia Geng and his law power to sense how the situation was unfolding with the Demon Race.
“The enemies have gathered, most likely their attempt at dealing with our next heavy assault, but they didn’t give chase,” reported Xia Geng.
Xia Guanghai nodded and asked, “How’s Xia Fei? Has he managed to enter the protective space and is the crack already healed?”
Xia Geng replied, “I haven’t detected Xia Fei, so he should already be inside. The spatial crack has also been healed. Oh, no! Xia Fei’s right! Enemy reinforcement has arrived! Twenty-seven more Law Sages have joined the coalition forces, making the number of Law Sages on their side fifty-six!”
Shocked, everyone wrinkled their brows. The reason Xia Fei strove to make a quick engagement with the enemies and avoid any outright confrontation was that he was afraid that enemy reinforcements would be en route. In the end, it was just as Xia Fei expected. The appearance of the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade had drawn the attention of the Darkpearl, Edusa, and Kerry clans, which resulted in the additional twenty-seven Law Sages being sent over to lend a hand!
Thinking about this really sent a chill down their spines. Had Xia Fei not spoken during the decision and vetoed peak Law Sage Xia Ke’s plan, the Skywings might very well have suffered great losses here! That was nearly five times the enemy they would have ended up facing against, after all!
“D*mn! If I knew, I would assigne someone to accompany Xia Fei in. Now that the enemy reinforcement has arrived, it won’t be easy once it’s time for Xia Fei to get out from there!” Xia Guanghai slapped his thigh loudly as he lamented.
Xia Ke’s expression became stern. “It wouldn’t be of any use if we did that then. None of us could help him in subduing the Immemorial Mystical Armament, after all. Instead, it’s much more important for us to be out here so that we can coordinate our offense for his extraction. Besides, Xia Fei is our clan’s lone wolf! He’s a lot more fearsome when he’s on his own!”
“Best we can do now is manage how the chips have fallen,” Xia Guanghai nodded solemnly. “The enemy has numbers many times ours. Should we get Xia Lianning to bring over men in reserve?”
Xia Ke smiled. “Don’t worry. I already sent the signal. Though we may just be one clan, we’ll still capable of burying the heads of these three Demon Race clans!”
“Hahahaha!”
The people laughed heartily. Only the Skywings would dare to jump into a three-versus-one fight! It was this sort of confidence that gave the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade have a reputation for their unreasonableness!
They were already outside of the range that their spatial compass could be used for communication. The Skywing’s elite warship Firefly, drifting in space nearby, was not only used to transport the Skywing warriors but also had the important undertaking of being their line of communication to Fiendish Wing Villa. The signal would first be transmitted to Firefly before it got boosted back to the God Race territory.
This was when the only woman among the twelve Law Sages of Skywing suddenly knitted her eyebrows together, “Xia Geng, did you miscount? There were originally thirty Law Sages from the Demon Race. Now that they have twenty-seven more, shouldn’t it be fifty-seven? Why is it fifty-six? Where did the missing one go?”
Women were meticulous to the tiniest detail; no one had noticed this discrepancy except Xia Yezi.
Xia Geng instantly froze and he quickly did a count once more.
Everyone saw as Xia Geng turned pale as he muttered, “Oh, no! There’s really one missing!”
…
Xia Fei’s figure moved quickly, his war armor Monohorn Ogre helping him move in the void of space. Even here in the vastness of cosmic space, he was still able to move freely and quickly as if he could fly.
Xia Fei found himself in a very strange piece of space after making it past the protective layer, the black and white candy floss surrounding a large and yellow planet. It almost looked like a yellow orange bun when he looked from space, with several yellow asteroid rings orbiting around it.
However, Xia Fei knew very well that the planet was not as tempting as it looked. There were sesame-like black dots on that golden planet, which were actually extremely powerful black storms. They only appeared small because of how far Xia Fei was. If he actually landed on the planet, even Xia Fei could not imagine just how it would be with this strong hurricane raging.
He could even feel a mysterious aura unique to the Immemorial Mystical Armament coming from the planet. Xia Fei did not immediately head over to the yellow orange planet but, instead, turned around and pulled out his Blood Crystal, glaring with great hostility behind him.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei flipped a hand and unleashed a powerful spatial storm! His attack covered an area of about a hundred miles all around him!
“Hahahaha!”
Laughter could be heard as a Kerry Clan warrior detached himself from the Dark Space when that spatial storm passed. He was tall and well-built, with two large hands that looked similar to the paws of a tiger, callused and rugged.
“I was originally worried. What with the Skywing warriors being known as tough to deal with. Though I am alone, and so are you, I may be unable to beat you in a solo duel. Unfortunately, you’ve already shown the depths of your skills as a warrior with that one move. You’re only at the Law Overlord cultivation, yet you dare to breach our Demon Race formation? Truly, you don’t know what it means to fear death!” That Kerry warrior approached Xia Fei as he spoke, his disdainful attitude apparent.
It turned out that among the Demon Race warriors, there was one who cultivated the Law of Concealment! He had silently followed behind Xia Fei and borrowed his Law of Primal Chaos to also enter this strange space!
Xia Fei had always had very keen senses, which allowed him to perceive the aura of those around him. This was why he had unleashed a Law of Space attack in an effort to lure out this unknown. As a result, that spatial storm had let the Kerry warrior get a gauge of Xia Fei’s strength.
This was why he had stepped out so fearlessly, thinking that Xia Fei and his Law Overlord cultivation was completely harmless to him!
“‘Monkeys act as kings when there are no tigers roaming the mountain’! You’re just an insignificant little Law Overlord, no better than an ant. Yours truly can kill a bunch of you in one pinch! After all, I’m level 1 Law Sage Holm! Do you even know how the word ‘Law Sage’ is written?!” Holm clenched his fists and sneered, seemingly threatening Xia Fei.
Unexpectedly, Xia Fei was unfazed, and he continued to maintain his cold gaze on the enemy.
Holm was promptly agitated. In his eyes, there was no reason an insignificant Law Overlord should act so arrogantly in front of him! He should be running away or kneeling onto the ground awaiting his death.
“Perhaps if you call yours truly grandfather thrice, I may just let you off. Otherwise, I’ll skin you alive!” Holm threatened Xia Fei savagely, adopting an imposing posture.
Alas, Xia Fei merely flashed that odd smirk of his, regarding Holm with wry bemusement as if he were watching a show.
“How despicable! You, Skywings, are good at group attacks. Now that you’re all alone, watch as this old man cleans you up!” bellowed Holm as he pounced on Xia Fei!
*Kaboom*
Suddenly, Peacock Blue appeared from out of nowhere! Furball had also woken up from his nap, leaping out with verve as he fired an intense energy beam!
“Immemorial Mysitcal Armament?! Holy Beast?!” Color drained from Holm’s face as he reeled from the shock. He quickly lifted his two arms in an attempt to resist the incoming attack, but it was a pity that he had gotten too close to Xia Fei and was already within the other’s domain!
*Bang*
Peacock Blue’s five grass blades enveloped the arrogant Holm, while Furball’s follow-up attack was about to land on him ferociously! It burned his war armor and shattered his bones!
*Whoosh*
Xia Fei’s figure darted and arrived at Holm’s side with Furball, his Blood Crystal already pressing right against the opponent’s throat.
The Law of Concealment was very effective, but Holm had fallen for Xia Fei’s ruse!
Now that he had shown himself, this meant that he wanted to fight with Xia Fei head on, he would be unable to launch a sneak attack, and he essentially lost his greatest weapon!
It turned out that Xia Fei had intentionally unleashed that martial arts technique just then to mislead Holm into thinking that he was just a Law Overlord warrior!
He intentionally appeared weak to draw his enemy into fighting back; this was what Xia Fei had always been good at!
‘What a devious person!’ Holm’s face was pale. The crimson red Blood Crystal was on his neck, making it impossible for him to move even as Peacock Blue tightly constrict itself around him. He could feel great pain all over his body.
Xia Fei chuckled. “I forgot to tell you; I indeed have Law Overlord cultivation, but I’m also the strongest Law Overlord of the Skywing Clan! Plus, I’m the clan’s lone wolf! I’ve always acted on my own!”
*Squelch*
The edge of the Blood Crystal drove into Holm’s neck, but not a drop of blood was spilled. This was because all the blood essence was being absorbed by the vampiric blade! Holm’s two eyes rolled up while he felt his very lifeforce getting drained away swiftly! He convulsed intensely, and then he did a fruitless final shudder.
*Whoosh*
By the time Xia Fei sheathed the dagger, Law Sage Holm was already no more than a desiccated corpse!
“Law Sage? Law Sages are precisely what I kill!”
With these last words, Xia Fei accelerated to that yellow planet. The closer he got, it became more obvious just how intense the fluctuations were.
‘Immemorial Mystical Armament! This is definitely the aura from an Immemorial Mystical Armament!’ Xia Fei told himself excitedly. “I wonder just what type of mystical armament will I find this time?”
