*Whoosh*
Two precious grade 8 Origin Crystals were emptied of their energy in an instant. The price was great, yet the ensuing effects were beyond mighty!
Countless ferocious beasts, each one powerful and imposing, crashed toward the Dark lifeforms’ army! Their targets were a hundred or so of the most powerful Dark warriors.
Xia Fei was elated. He could not believe that the combined power of the Azure Dragon Soul Meteor and the White Tiger Soul Meteor would actually be this overwhelming. The two Grade 8 Origin Crystals he spent had truly been well worth it! The effect was many times greater than what Xia Fei had expected!
The Dark armoy was shocked!
The Guardians and the Skywings present were also shocked!
Those warriors from the other clans, who had been trapped here, were even more flabbergasted as their tongues lolled out from their mouths!
*Kaboom*
The surge of beasts trampled the land and sky as it furiously devoured the lives of the Dark warriors!
*Bang bang*
Seeing the terrible situation, the warriorscommanding the Dark lifeforms’ army attempted to assault the energy beasts, but these azure dragons and white tigers had no life of their own, so these attacks of course had no effect on them.
The only thing they cared about was if they were capable of completing their task!
*Roar*
A group of unconscious energy beasts exploded with indomitable fighting spirit, an unending stream where if one fell, another would take its place!
It was very apparent that these Dark warriors had gotten traumatized by this crazy fighting spirit from the beasts! Different from those low-intelligent lifeforms from before, these ones now were conscious and intelligent, meaning that they could feel fear like any other person!
All sapient lifeforms feared death, and the same could be said for these Dark warriors!
The wave of beasts was akin to a huge wave high enough to cover the skies, pushing past the lowly warriors blocking it to swallow up those Dark warriors out in the sea of stars!
They went back where they came from!
The black hole in the sky did not disappear, as the powerful energy beasts shoved the top hundred most powerful Dark warriors right into the hole, grievously injuring those who survived if they did not die outright to the beast wave!
*Roar*
Seeing their leaders get eradicated right before their eyes, those mid-level and weaker Dark warriors lost all fighting spirit. There was a chaotic retreat for Dark Space, which the wolves of Skywing took advantage of to partake in the slaughter, killing yet another ten thousand or so Dark warriors as they routed!
“Don’t give chase! Even a cornered rat will bite back!” Xia Fei yelled, stopping Xia Guanghai and the Guardians still physically able from pursuing.
That ephemeral wing was giving off a powerful aura, which made Xia Fei stand out vividly against this group of madmen. It was so stifling that people could hardly breathe standing in his presence!
Skywings, capable of flying across the universe and the nine heavens with wings on their backs!
Xia Fei was a very eye-catching existence out of everyone now that he had obtained his first wing! Without a doubt, the existence of the Fiendish Wing had already given Xia Fei the highest status among them all!
Seeing his clansmen and their hot-bloodedness, followed by a cold gance over to the mess of warriors from an assortment of clans on the other side, Xia Fei smiled. Pulling out a strange sneer with the corner of his lips, he said, “Let’s leave. We’ve already achieved our goal; whether these people live or die is no longer our concern!”
“Hurrah!”
Surviving in the face of death to deal a definitive counterattack, the Skywings and the Guardians had successfully turned the tide of this battle! Each of them flew away, leaving the other still stunned warriors at the Night Banquet!
There was no need to mention just how frustrated and vexed these warriors from the other clans felt after witnessing what had just happened. Due to their selfishness, they had missed out on the perfect opportunity; before they could even decide if they wished to confront the Dark Lifeforms in battle, the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade had already chased the enemies away!
“The Skywings sure are powerful! The keenness of this fiendish blade is undeniable!” An elder wrinkled his forehead as his body shuddered.
After this fight, the name of the Skywings had shaken people once more. Meanwhile, there was no doubt that everyone would be mocking the clans for their cowardice!
There were clearly tens of thousands of Law Realm warriors present, yet they ended up relying on the might of the Skywings for the counterattack! Just what should they feel about this?
…
Blizzard Fiendish Wing Villa.
Xia Fei sat in the grand ancestor’s Xia Gucheng’s study and lit a cheap cigarette.
Upon hearing that Xia Fei’s first wing had sprouted, the grand ancestor asked to meet him in person. Xia Fei, therefore, could not help but feel anxious. After all, Xia Gucheng, who was a peak Law God, was the backbone of the entire Skywing Clan. No one across the Law Realm dared to defy him, so it was naturally impossible for him not to feel nervous meeting such a person for the first time.
“Just what is this wing? Why would I automatically level up in my Law of Speed the moment it sprouted?” asked Xia Fei softly. From all the feedback he had gotten, it was not hard for him to figure out that this wing was not just an illusory apparition. There almost seemed to be some unknown secrets concerning it.
“Wing?” Xia Ke chuckled. “What you have there is no wing. Come look!”
*Swoosh*
Xia Fei saw as Xia Ke showed his left shoulder; a faint, formless wing had very quickly appeared there.
“Do you see this? What I have is a wing. What you’ve got is a Fiendish Wing!” Xia Ke solemnly corrected, his eyes shining.
Xia Fei was a little surprised. He saw that Xia Ke’s wing was thin, like that of a golden cicada’s, and had very obvious veins. Furthermore, its wingspan was a far cry from Xia Fei’s own; his wing was only approximately four meters long and lacked fearsome sharp edges and corners.
“Why is this?” Xia Fei asked with a slight frown. “Also, your wing can be extended and hidden as will, while mine only appears when I move at my top speed.”
Xia Lianning laughed. “No rush. How many days has it been since you got your wing? Xia Ke reached peak Law Sage tier and has remained there for a hundred years, so you can’t compare the two.”
Xia Ke added, “That’s right! Usually, someone will only earn their first wing after reaching peak Law Sage and get a second after making it to a Law God. As for you, you already got your first wing at level 1 Law Sage! You’re definitely the first freak in the clan!
“As for the Fiendish Wing…”
Xia Ke was just about to elaborate when they heard a clear yet hoarse voice coming from the courtyard, “The Fiendish Wing is the specialty of your grand ancestor, me! To think you’d have stolen it, you rascal!
“Hahahahaha~”
This voice rang as the grand ancestor of the Skywings, Xia Gucheng, strode into the study.
“Grand ancestor, you’re back!” Xia Ke and Xia Lianning animatedly gushed.
Xia Guanghai very rudely delivered a punch at the chest of Xia Gucheng as he crooked his head. “Old man, didn’t you agree to get me a Law God grade war armor? You’d better be a man of your word!”
*Smack*
Xia Gucheng slapped Xia Guanghai squarely on the head. “When has this old man not been a man of his word? You, little bunny! Go and quickly get that secret base assignment done! There’ll naturally be what you want in the warehouse when you return!”
Not just them, practically everyone in the Blizzard Fiendish Wing Villa had swiftly gathered in the grand ancestor’s study, playfully teasing the old man. Instantly, the room was filled with warmth and liveliness. Xia Gucheng had never once asserted his status as the patriarch of the clan all this time, even accidentally pulling off some of his grandson’s beard, who winced in pain.
Xia Fei watched this scene play out from the sidelines. This was the first time he had met Xia Gucheng in person, after all, so he was still a little unfamiliar with the elder.
“Your clan’s grand ancestor’s fame truly precedes himself, not at all acting the part despite being a peak Law God. Given the rapport he shares with his fellow clansmen of all ages, it’s no wonder that the Skywings have such a tight-knit camaraderie. With someone like him as the patriarch, even I’ll be willing to devote all my efforts into the betterment of the clan!
“In the entire Law Realm, Xia Gucheng is definitely the most abnormal existence since ancient times! When a person reaches a certain status, they’ll often start putting on airs, yet this grand ancestor of your clan is still acting like a child at heart!” Radix had plenty to muse about. He seemed to be very envious of this homely atmosphere the Skywing Clan had.
“Alright! Your grand ancestor here still has matters to take care of; everyone, get out!” Xia Gucheng dismissed everyone with a laugh, the corner of his eyes locking onto the young man at the corner. “Xia Fei, you stay.”
*Whoosh*
Everyone in the Skywing Clan was a practitioner of the Law of Speed, so their departure was just as fast as their arrival. An order from Xia Gucheng and the only people left in the study were Xia Fei and the old man himself.
Following the closing of the door, Xia Gucheng smiled at Xia Fei. “Come, take a seat. Share a cup of tea with me.”
Xia Fei nodded, taking out Earth’s top grade biluochun tea from his spatial ring, brewing a pot for them, and filling a cup for his grand ancestor.
“This taste isn’t bad. So you grew up on Earth?” Xia Gucheng asked. “How was it there?”
Xia Fei chuckled. “Earth is very tiny and is located near the borders of the insectoids. The vistas are decent.”
Xia Gucheng smiled as he laughed bitterly. “It must’ve been hard for you.”
Xia Fei did not respond, nor did he venture along the topic that Xia Gucheng mentioned, for continuing would naturally end up raising the issue of his bloodline.
This was not an issue that Xia Fei did not wish to explore; rather, he did not wish for his bloodline to become his fetters. In his mind, Xia Fei was Xia Fei, hailing from Earth, which was his home planet. Considering that his bloodline was out of his control, he was fine as long as he did his own thing.
Xia Gucheng squinted his eyes and looked at Xia Fei for a good while, just as Xia Fei inspected the grand ancestor for the first time, too.
In the past, Xia Fei had always imagined Xia Gucheng to be this great devil who could destroy worlds, but now that he had finally met him in person, he was surprised to find just a very kindly elderly.
Of course, Xia Gucheng would not show his ferocious side when he was back home. Thus, if Xia Fei could see the old man get enraged, he would realize that calling his clan’s grand ancestor a fiendish demon was hardly a fitting enough description.
The old man and the young man regarded each other for a long time, until Xia Gucheng solemnly spoke. “Do you really wish to know what it means to have a Fiendish WIng?”
Xia Fei nodded firmly. “That’s right. I feel like I’ve had a huge change in my aura after gaining this formless wing! My combat strength even saw a huge rise, too; it’s truly a very amazing experience.”
Xia Gucheng said in a low voice, “The Fiendish Wing is a sort of talent. At the moment, only you and I have the Godwing potential in our clan, meaning that we are the two only who can harness the Fiendish Wings. Now, let me take a look at what state your Fiendish Wing is in.”
Xia Gucheng sounded very solemn when he talked about this matter, completely different from the mischievous persona he had shown just moments ago.
Xia Fei was startled. His keen senses told him that the look and words of his grand ancestor were filled with concern. Something was not right here!
*Whoosh*
With a quick speed, Xia Fei did several laps in the secret training chamber behind the study and achieved a speed of four million meters per second!
The Fiendish Wing had faintly appeared once more on his right!
It looked grim and incomplete, sharp and angular. A single glance at it would make anyone’s heart shudder!
Xia Gucheng’s eyes glistened, appearing to be so excited that his face became flushed!
“Fiendish Wing! A Fiendish Wing with a nine-meter wingspan!” Xia Gucheng mumbled to himself. “The Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade shall never fall! We, Skywings, finally have another Fiendish Wing!”
*Clap*
Clutching onto Xia Fei with his two arms, the grand ancestor said with bloodshot eyes, “Quick! You must leave this place immediately!”
