Redbrow Sword Mountain.
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei appeared in front of the Gods of Black and White like a ghost.
Hua Hei gasped and then asked seriously, “Xia Fei, why are you like a cat, moving around without a sound? I don’t even know how you managed to emerge from the side path!”
Xia Fei smiled. Breath Control, Crafty Approach, and the Law of Speed had always been treasures that he relied to keep himself hidden. It was very normal for Hua Hei not to realize how he had gotten so close.
“How’s it? Were you able to locate the grand ancestor?” asked Xia Fei.
Xia Geng’s face was caked in sweat. For the sake of finding Xia Gucheng, he was going all-out! The Black and White Gods were even carrying him right now as they moved forward so that he could focus entirely on the search!
Xia Geng needed not only to search for the grand ancestor but also to provide support for the vanguard and the center team. As such, he was consuming immense amounts of energy.
Xia Geng had no complaints, though, and just threw himself into the endeavor wholeheartedly, searching constantly for any clues.
“Still nothing,” said Xia Geng grimly as he opened his eyes. By now, his eyes were completely bloodshot.
Xia Fei patted Xia Geng on the shoulder, took a grade 8 Origin Crystal from his spatial ring, and gave it to him. “You don’t need to rush; just continue your hard work!”
Xia Geng nodded. Being told that he did not need to rush was clearly just talk. Everyone in the clan was ablaze with panic over the fact that the grand ancestor had gone missing. As for Xia Geng who knew the truth, his eyes were almost popping out of his sockets! This was a reflection of just how anxious and worried he felt.
“You guys can continue while I go look around,” said Xia Fei as he pointed at a side passage.
Hua Hei was slightly taken aback. “I think that I finally get why you let us be the main force to draw enemy attention. It’s so that you’ll have the time and space to move around freely!”
Xia Fei did not deny it. The plan had always been like this. With three Superior Law Gods opening the way, the enemy’s main force would be drawn to this powerful adversary, allowing Xia Fei to sneak in. After all, with Breath Control, he could truly move around like a ghost and was the best infiltration expert in the squad.
…
The vanguard.
Xia Xiang and Xia Ya kept pressing forward, dismantling any door in their path, killing anyone they saw, and stealing everything of value!
This was truly a pleasant slaughter, and they encountered no major obstacles at all! After a few minutes, this team had completely flipped Redbrow Sword Mountain over, killing countless people and essentially destroying the base.
Alas, there was still no sign of the grand ancestor, leaving everyone extremely worried.
*Whoosh~*
Xia Xiang and Xia Ya made a turn and found a giant alloy door. This door was different from the others. It was not just thick and heavy but also bore a mysterious ‘X’.
“Destroy it!”
*Rumble!*
Xia Xiang and Xia Ya rushed over, their sabers flashing as they moved to obliterate the door!
However, after only a few attacks, the door began to open on its own! It seemed to be… under someone’s control?!
Xia Xiang and Xia Ya were both startled at first, but then they charged in! The plan to save the grand ancestor did not permit any delay. Even if it was a den of dragons, they would still need to charge in!
“Sure enough, it’s you guys from the Skywing Clan. I didn’t think that they’d come looking at Redbrow Sword Mountain.” A voice suddenly spoke these words.
Xia Xiang and Xia Ya looked around. They were in an enormous room packed with electronic equipment. This appeared to be Redbrow Sword Mountain’s command center.
Three old men confidently stood within, exuding heroic aura and wearing robes adorned with red clouds. They coldly stared at Xia Xiang and Xia Ya.
Xia Ya was young and brimming with vigor; he kept close to his mind Xia Fei’s policy of ‘kill all, steal all, destroy all’. As such, he charged up at the three experts without a word, but Xia Xiang pulled him back.
“Don’t act recklessly. These are three Peak Law Gods!” said Xia Xiang sternly.
Peak Law Gods were experts only second to the Thirteen Founders of the Law Realm in terms of strength! In all of mankind, there were only two people who had reached this apex, and one of them was Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng. Now, they had encountered three of them at Redbrow Sword Mountain!?
“You’ve got sharp eyes. The three of us were even able to capture your grand ancestor. As for you lot, you’ll probably die without even knowing how you die!” said the expert on the left coldly.
“Don’t underestimate them. The Skywings are truly powerful; they even managed to hide two Law Gods. If we hadn’t captured that old man Xia Gucheng, we might’ve been unable to expose the true strength of the Skywings.”
The three Peak Law Gods talked as if no one else were around, treating Xia Xiang and Xia Ya like air.
At this moment, Xia Helin, Xia Jing, and Xia Hong charged in. All five Skywing Law Gods had gathered, and the three Peak Law Gods on the other side were stunned.
“Five Law Gods? !The Skywings were hiding five Law Gods?!” exclaimed one of the old men in shock.
In normal circumstances, a clan with two Law Gods was considered first-class, and three Law Gods was superclass!
However, the Skywings, a small clan with only a population somewhere around fifty thousand or so, had managed to produce five Law Gods! This was simply absurd!
It must be understood that, besides these five, the Skywings had the heaven-defying old wretch, Xia Gucheng, who was a supreme Peak Law God expert!
The Skywings were not just superclass but also double superclass! They had besieged the Palace of Gods precisely because they had confidence in their strength!
As the three Peak Law Gods marveled on the fact that the Skywings were hiding five Law Gods, the third team comprising the Black and White Gods arrived, too.
“Who told you that it’s only five Law Gods? Did you forget about us brothers?” Hua Hei glared as he loudly spoke.
With the addition of the Black and White Gods, the three Peak Law Gods were now facing the Skywing Clan’s three Superior Law Gods and four Law God experts!
Equally matched!
The three Peak Law Gods, who had looked down on Xia Xiang and Xia Ya, could not help but get serious at this moment, for they were facing seven Law Gods in total!
“Fei Quan! Huang Jinyuan! Ogabansi!” Old Hei called the names of the three Peak Law Gods. The Skywing Law Gods had been hiding in the shadows all this time, so they were not familiar with the members of the Palace of Gods, but the Hua siblings knew who these experts were.
“I didn’t think that the three of you would be colluding! I’m guessing that you’re also involved in Fig Corporation and the cases of experts going missing from their clans, right?” Hua Hei pointed at the three Peak Law Gods and asked.
“Little Hei, Little Bai, you two are deserters who betrayed the Law Realm. You don’t have the right to criticize us!” Ogabansi coldly snorted in disdain.
Fei Quan casually said, “Even if we are involved, so what? Plus, all our deeds were done to maintain the balance of the Law Realm. You’ll never be able to understand it!”
The violent-tempered Xia Jing strode forward and said coldly, “Understand? We don’t need to understand! I only know that you’ve forcibly confined our grand ancestor, making you enemies of the Skywing Clan, and all our enemies must die without exception!”
“Hahahaha~”
The three Peak Law Gods erupted in laughter. Their leader, Fei Quan, coldly said, “Don’t think that just because you found Little Hei and Little Bai, it’d mean that you could fight against the three of us. You should first ask about how they fled with their tails between their legs back then!”
Hua Hei and Hua Bai paled. It appeared that there was a very deep grudge existing between the two siblings and Fei Quan’s group.
Suddenly, Xia Ya reeled back in shock and pointed at an image on a screen. “Look! It’s the grand ancestor!”
Everyone looked over and saw that it was really Xia Gucheng on the screen. He was fixed to an alloy operating chair, various tubes attached to his body, seemingly sucking something out of him.
There was a very strange aura around Xia Gucheng, which constantly shifted to red and green.
The grand ancestor appeared to be mentally out of it; he was still breathing and had a pulse, but he did not seem to be conscious.
“Grand ancestor!”
“Old Master Xia!” cried Xia Xiang and the Black and White Gods. It was clear to all that the grand ancestor was in dire straits!
Law Gods had Seeds of Life, which made them essentially immortal, but Fei Quan’s group was using some never-before-seen method on Xia Gucheng. This method seemed very similar to Xia Fei’s Nirvana as it could extract energy from experts. There was not much time. If they did not quickly save him, the grand ancestor would probably end up being killed by this strange contraption!
“Alas, you’re too late! In a few more minutes, Xia Gucheng will cease to exist from this universe, but there’ll be another wandering ghost,” said Fei Quan sinisterly. “There’s a road to the heavens, but you refused to take it! There’s no door to hell, but you barged right in!
“If you’re worried that your grand ancestor will embark alone on his journey down to the netherworld, the three of us will relieve you of this worry! We’ll let you die with him!”
“Awoooo!”
Xia Xiang and the others could no longer restrain themselves after hearing this, and even the Black and White Gods were enraged!
“Charge in there! Kill them!” Hua Hei waved his arm and shouted.
*Rumble!*
The seven Law Gods used their various attacks to barrage the three Peak Law Gods!
Meanwhile, Xia Geng used all his power to try and find Xia Gucheng’s location!
Time was money, and Xia Geng was frantic. He tightly closed his eyes as he sent out all his energy!
What was coming out of his eyes was not tears, but blood!
Even if he destroyed his eyes, he would find the grand ancestor’s location! Even if he died, he would save the grand ancestor!
It was an extremely desperate situation!
Xia Geng began to consume his life force, his skin wrinkling, and after a few seconds, his hair began to turn white.
The five Skywing Law Gods used the wolfpack formation to battle desperately against Huang Jinyuan. The Black and White Gods did not understand the wolfpack formation, but they had their own moves. The brothers were in sync as they fought against the other Peak Law God, Ogabansi.
However, in this way, no one was there to fend off Fei Quan. Fei Quan smiled, and his arm began to expand explosively as he rushed for Xia Geng.
*Rumble!*
Fei Quan’s fingers were right up at Xia Geng’s face, and he was milliseconds away from obliterating the latter when, suddenly, a shadow shot out, raising a cross-shaped blade and unleashing a vicious attack!
No, it was not just one person! It was a person, a grass, a ball, and a soul!
The Skywings’ Law God that was not a Law God, the lone wolf Xia Fei, had arrived at the scene!
