Chapter 517: Chain Blockade!
Strange.
Everyone looked at Yu Qiqi with a strange expression in their eyes. Yu Qiqi would marry whoever killed Xia Fei? Everyone felt puzzled. They could not understand why would Yu Qiqi harbor enmity toward someone as insignificant as Xia Fei. Was their forty-ninth sister in a rush to get married?
In any case, what all of them understood was that Xia Fei was in for a tough time now. It was no laughing matter to offend this demoness, and there was no telling when they would wake up to find several venomous snakes underneath their bed covers or find themselves falling into a pit while walking down the streets.
Without a doubt, Yu Qiqi was an expert when it came to tormenting others, and she would definitely bring great suffering to whomever she set her eyes on if she did not end up killing them!
Yu Qiqi porcelain cheeks actually turned red? This was no act; after all, she was still a young girl who barely knew about worldly matters, and when the subject turned to matters pertaining to marriage or the bed, it was only natural for her to be embarrassed.
“What are you all looking at?!” Yu Qiqi exploded. “Keep looking and I’ll gouge out your eyeballs!”
Everyone shivered as they quickly turned their attention back onto the screens, no longer daring to provoke the demoness.
‘Yu Taizhou, you b*st*rd!’ Yu Qiqi fumed mentally. ‘See how I’m going to deal with you when I get my hands on you!’
...
The collection reservoir.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. More than twenty Law Warriors stood in front of him, and every one of them was second-time entrants and was all of a higher-rank than Xia Fei. Each of them was an opponent he would have a hard time handling!
Seeing how the whole lot of them was about to deal with him, Xia Fei suddenly shouted!
“Thousand Venerables!”
Dragonscale Hectoslasher shot out in every direction like a fragmentation grenade! It was an insane attack that struck indiscriminately!
“Block!”
Everyone hurriedly utilized their Law of Space to block this attack from Xia Fei.
It was just that none of them had thought that this would merely be a feint from him, and that his real goal was still to buy time and retrieve that rank 3 martial arts technique!
Pushing himself hard off the ground, Xia Fei appeared to be fleeing but ended up running in an arc which let him accelerate; it was a method that he was an expert in!
The speed ability could not reach its top speed in a short time, so just as Xia Fei circled one round, his speed broke 30,000m/s! It was a really fast movement speed!
*Whoosh!*
His body became like a released cannonball!
Achieving his curved acceleration at max speed, Xia Fei suddenly went hurtling out in a straight path!
The wild attack from Thousand Venerables was still going on as Xia Fei pretended to retreat to greatly increase the likelihood of his enemies underestimating him, so practically nobody could react in time when Xia Fei went straight for that white energy orb, instead.
Clutching onto that rank 3 martial arts technique, Xia Fei immediately retreated.
“Shatter!”
“Rip!”
All sorts of attacks were directed at his back!
The fact that killing Xia Fei would be enough to win Yu Qiqi’s affection was tempting enough, but now that Xia Fei had managed to acquire the rank 3 martial arts technique, these warriors were all the more enraged! Each of them sent out their killer moves to deal with Xia Fei!
*Bang!*
A spatial barrier blocked Xia Fei’s path of retreat and he accidentally ran into it. When his head made direct contact, it left him dizzy and seeing stars!
“Dammit.” Xia Fei rubbed his face as blood flowed down his nose!
*Kaboom!*
The moment he was stopped in his tracks, another wave of attacks came right after him!
Xia Fei could ignore the attacks from one or two Law Warriors, but facing over twenty Warriors who had higher levels than him would be a grueling ordeal!
“Crafty Approach!”
Xia Fei did not dare to run wildly anymore after running into that spatial blockade. Using his Crafty Approach to continue and make his escape at a lower speed, he kept dodging incoming attacks as he stuck to the route he had previously established.
These Law Warriors obviously would not give up, and news of whoever managed to kill Xia Fei would acquire Yu Qiqi’s hands quickly spread, so much so that there were at least fifty warriors hot on his heels after several minutes!
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh~*
Techniques, which Xia Fei had seen and had not seen before, were all coming after him, and he knew that there was no way that he could defeat so many enemies at once, so he had no choice but to retreat.
*Bang!*
A Spatial Tear struck Xia Fei on his left arm, causing a big chunk of it to turn purple.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and continued his escape.
This was a completely unfair fight, and Xia Fei was left haggard from everything. Blood was oozing from both his nose and mouth.
*Zoom!*
Xia Fei finally made it to one of the caves and dove right in, activating the switch inside.
*Zing!*
A spatial barrier was erected at the entrance, separating Xia Fei from the outside as he stood there with two hands on his thighs, breathing laboriously.
“That was close! You almost got surrounded by that whole pack of Law Warriors,” Phantom said, his heart still trembling.
The combat strength that Law Warriors possessed was great, and with some of those having greater cultivation than Xia Fei, it was really hard to deal with. Xia Fei ended up taking quite the beating from them and had only narrowly escaped decapitation under the protection of Crafty Approach and his speed ability.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth. It was better to offend an upright noble than an unscrupulous scoundrel. He had never imagined that Yu Qiqi would do such a thing, turning him into an enemy of the people, causing him to be hunted by dozens of men!
“Get out here!”
“Stop hiding in there if you’ve got the guts!”
A whole gang of Law Warriors had gathered outside the cave, yelling at him. Some even directly assaulted the cave entrance! Unfortunately, they did not have the strength to break that spatial barrier, so all they could do was stare at him from outside.
Wiping the blood off the corner of his mouth, Xia Fei revealed a playfully goading smile.
One.
Two.
Three.
Xia Fei slowly placed seven rank 2 martial arts techniques and one rank 3 martial arts technique on the ground. He then sat down and shattered the orbs to begin checking the contents within.
Outside, the Law Warriors all glared at him hatefully. There were only eighteen high-rank martial arts techniques, and Xia Fei had already taken eight for himself! They were all fuming mad!
Xia Fei whistled a simple tune as he studied each of the martial arts techniques. He ignored the eyes filled with jealousy outside, letting them act wildly but remaining where he was, unfazed.
“Rank 2 martial arts technique, Shock Ripple?” Xia Fei was talking to himself out loud. “It doesn’t seem to be very good.”
Shaking his head, he took the device and casually tossed it to the ground.
Everyone stared with bewildered eyes. So many of them had nearly lost their very lives fighting for the few high-rank techniques, yet Xia Fei was being picky with what he found? How incredulous was this?
Xia Fei had already made it into the safety of a cave, and it was hardly the solution for the whole lot of them to just stay here. Though they very much wanted to kill Xia Fei and obtain the martial arts techniques he had hoarded, winning Yu Qiqi’s heart at the same time, it was evident that there was no way they could achieve this goal now.
“You two, stand guard. If the rascal Xia Fei dares to take a step out, report to me immediately,” barked that Law Warrior with a trimmed beard.
The two men who were asked to keep guard were of course extremely dissatisfied. “Then what do we do about our martial arts techniques?”
“Relax. Your brothers here will help you find something suitable. At most, we’ll just go beg the family elders and give you two another shot. Besides, Xia Fei has quite a few high-rank martial arts techniques... You guys can get first picks if we manage to seize them.”
The two Law Warriors hesitantly agreed to stay behind and keep Xia Fei under surveillance after being dangled with numerous temptations. They were considered to be of lower cultivation compared to the others present, so even if they really left to compete for high-rank martial arts techniques, there was no guarantee that they would secure one for themselves. That was why staying to wait for Xia Fei was not exactly a hopeless endeavor.
The rest left, while the two men who were told to stay quietly hid themselves.
Xia Fei spat on the ground bitterly. “To think that they’d gang up on me. See if I don’t beat you all into pulp after I get out!”
“There’s no rush to take your revenge on these people. Actually, none of them are your match one on one. Too bad that there are simply too many of them. Honestly, two hands will have difficulty taking on four enemies; just endure it for now,” Phantom said.
Xia Fei had seven rank 2 martial arts techniques and one rank 3 martial arts technique in hand. The rules say that he could only choose one, and the rest needed to be left intact.
“Best to learn the rank 3 martial arts technique. It is, after all, one grade higher than the rest,” Phantom said.
Xia Fei nodded, agreeing with Phantom’s assessment.
“Rank 3 spatial technique, Chain Blockade! A derivative technique from the Spatial Tear, able to use Law force to shatter space, able to be used in attack or defense, suitable for large-scale attacks.” Xia Fei softly recited the description of the martial arts technique.
“Sounds pretty good; carry on.” Phantom urged.
“The martial arts technique has seven stages, able to create a spatial tear that moves around in every direction. Complete mastery of the martial arts technique will allow the user to form seven spatial tears simultaneously, a devastating attack to the enemy!”
Sighing lightly, Phantom said, “The Yu family sure lives up to their name as the experts of spatial tear, having such an amazing technique. Chain Blockade! Cultivating it will let the user create a spatial tear, moving at such high speed, making it impossible for anyone to even think of crossing the tear!”
Xia Fei also thought that the skill was very decent, and it even held an aura of high-handedness, able to push forth a spatial tear, usable when attacking and defending!
A physical body had to inhabit space, and when caught in such a martial arts technique, the slightest mistake could very well cause the body to tear!
Chain Blockade! This was akin to the unleashing of a natural barrier that no one would have any way of traversing, allowing one man to hold ten thousand enemies at bay!
“Alright, this shall be the one!” Xia Fei said decisively.
...
Time passed quickly, and two days went by in the blink of an eye.
The massacre in the collection reservoir had not stopped, and everyone was putting their lives at risk all for the sake of obtaining high-rank martial arts techniques! With Xia Fei having taken eight, the over two hundred others engaged in brutal fights for the remaining techniques.
Xia Fei had more than twenty empty Origin Crystals beside him. He had spent over a dozen precious crystals each day in order to cultivate Chain Blockade!
“Amazing! You’ve reached stage 2! Xia Fei, you’ve successfully reached the second stage of your spatial technique! That’s, on average, one level a day! You’re basically flying through the stages, promoting so quickly like that!” Phantom was excited.
Xia Fei opened his eyes and used his left hand to rub his somewhat stiff neck.
Though Xia Fei had been promoted rapidly, the price had been great. Each of the empty Origin Crystals beside him was money!
The longer Xia Fei spent his time here in the Law Realm, the more he knew just how precious Origin Crystals were. To a warrior, there was nothing comparable to them. If not for the fact that he had a stock of them in his spatial ring, Xia Fei would definitely be unable to promote up to stage 2 over the course of two days!
Xia Fei pushed his palm flat out.
*Boom!*
Two jagged spatial tears formed in front of him, one on top of the other!
*Kaboom!*
Two gashes instantly appeared on the thick mountain wall, no less than ten meter in length! It was carved deep into the rocks!
“The combat strength isn’t bad.” Phantom nodded.
Xia Fei shook his head, looking very dissatisfied with the combat strength of the Chain Blockade.
He pushed a single palm out again, and this time, Xia Fei added a shred of the disruptive power from the Law of Primal Chaos. With an inadvertent change in his wrist, the chaotic energy easily weaved into the Law force he unleashed!
*Kaboom!*
It was merely just a small bit of power from the Law of Primal Chaos, yet the effect of the attack saw a substantive change!
The spatial tears were now like churning tornadoes, grinding the rock upon contact!
Moreover, they continued their way forward!
The cave shook as if he were experiencing an earthquake!
“That’s overpowered! Their attack power has increased by at least three folds!” Phantom exclaimed after seeing the six-meter-deep fissure in the mountain wall.
Xia Fei let out a mirthless laugh and used the switch to take down the spatial barrier, stepping out from within the cave.
“Where are you off to?”
“To settle some debts!” Xia Fei said somberly.
