Chapter 539: The Lost Law
“I heard that someone wanted to capture me?” Xia Fei coldly said as he pointed. “I’m standing right here! Anyone who wants my life can try and take it!”
Arrogance!
Unconcealed arrogance!
His eyes were brimming with killing intent!
Dark Ghost coldly grunted. “Men, where are you?! Seize this scoundrel at once!”
Xia Fei smiled. “Stop shouting. You’re the only ones alive on this ship now. You should feel fortunate!”
“What?!” Dark Ghost was stunned. This barge had a crew of more than one thousand; of which, three hundred were warriors. After all, he had been wanted for a long time and had to be prepared at all times.
Within the space of several minutes, Yu Hua and Xia Fei had killed all of them! This was a one-sided massacre!
Mu Linbai and Yuan Dian were aching to fight, particularly Yuan Dian. After being injured by the backlash from Xia Fei’s Law of Primal Chaos, he had been harboring a grudge that he was anxious to return.
Cruel Eagle frowned. He was the only Law Emperor under Dark Ghost, and facing Yu Hua was a duty he could not avoid, but Yu Hua was a man who was smile whiling as he held a knife behind his back, and this sort of attitude left him feeling very uneasy. It was as if Yu Hua was certain of his victory.
“Cruel Eagle?” Yu Hua came out and spoke first.
“Yes,” Cruel Eagle sternly replied.
Yu Hua smiled. “It’s difficult to become a Law Emperor, so leave. I’ll let you live.”
Cruel Eagle’s sole eye flashed. Yu Hua’s words had stimulated his fighting intent. “For what reason?”
“No reason. This is a grudge between Xia Fei and Dark Ghost. If you don’t interfere, I won’t interfere.”
“And if I don’t agree?” Cruel Eagle frowned and asked.
With a flip of his palm, the Seven Dragons Split the Heavens technique appeared!
“Seven Dragons Split the Heavens!” Cruel Eagle was stunned. “So you’re a Great Law Emperor!”
Yu Hua smiled and nodded.
With a bitter chuckle, Cruel Eagle said, “With my strength, I have no chance at victory against a Great Law Emperor. Plus, your Yu family is most skilled in spatial tears, so I won’t fight with you.”
Yu Hua mused, “A man who knows when to adapt to circumstances will achieve great things.”
When experts fought, the results would be injury or death. Cruel Eagle was unwilling to fight with Yu Hua, leaving Dark Ghost’s group frantic and fuming.
“Cruel Eagle, I saved your life! You agreed to serve me for thirty years!” Dark Ghost loudly called.
Dark Eagle glanced at him. “I agreed that I would give you thirty years of my life, not all of it. Also, this is the Law Realm. You don’t really take promises seriously, do you?”
Dark Ghost became so infuriated that his face went white. On the side, Mu Linbai and Yuan Dian were aghast. Cruel Eagle was the strongest among them, a level 5 Law Emperor! Once he was gone, no one would be able to escape from Yu Hua’s clutches alive. After all, his level was far higher than theirs.
“It’s over! It’s all over!” Yu Guhe dejectedly sat down on the floor and began weeping, his voice suffused with despair.
Yu Hua patted Xia Fei on the shoulder. “I’ll leave this place to you. That night, it’s these two fellows who wanted to catch you, so they’re naturally your enemies. I remember you saying that you need to see your enemies die with your own eyes. Now, I’m giving you the chance to personally kill them.”
Xia Fei nodded, his face unperturbed.
Mu Linbai and Yuan Dian exhaled. If Yu Hua was not participating, then they really did not care about Xia Fei. After all, his level was extremely low, and while his attacks were infused with some bizarre power, it was not enough to hurt them. Yuan Dian had been defeated that night purely because of his carelessness.
After saying this, Yu Hua disappeared from the room with Cruel Eagle. Yu Hua was a Great Law Emperor and could use the skill of spatial traversal, taking with him anyone he wanted.
“Don’t think about trying to leave using a Spatial Compass; I’ve already locked down the entire ship,” Yu Hua said before leaving.
Yuan Dian heartily laughed. “Leave? If I don’t kill this brat, I’ll never be able to stomach this rage!”
Savagely glaring at Xia Fei, Mu Linbai and Yuan Dian planned to strike together.
...
Among the stars, Yu Hua and Cruel Eagle floated. Cruel Eagle frowned. “You said that you would let me go.”
Yu Hua smiled and pointed at Dark Ghost’s barge down below.
“There’s no rush. I’ll let you watch a good show first.”
Cruel Eagle shook his head. “The young man you brought won’t be able to beat Mu Linbai and Yuan Dian. His cultivation is too lacking. By leaving him behind, you have delivered him to his death.”
Yu Hua heartily laughed. “Do you really think so?”
“Although I only have one eye, I have always had a sharp insight when it comes to people.”
“Then I’m afraid that you will be disappointed today. Xia Fei isn’t as simple as you think he is.”
Cruel Eagle pursed his lips and said no more.
Yu Hua replied, “Just watch the show. You’ll understand once it’s over.”
On the ship, Mu Linbai and Yuan Dian began to flank Xia Fei.
Dark Ghost furiously roared on the side, “Yu Hua won’t let us off. Since we’re all dead, anyway, let’s take this brat down with us!”
Xia Fei sighed, lightly saying, “I didn’t come to the Law Realm to be dragged down by anyone. Tell me why you wanted to capture me, or else I’ll kill you!”
“With just you?” Mu Linbai scornfully said. “Just a mere level 4 Law Warrior. Yuan Dian had only lost to you because he was caught off guard.”
Yuan Dian glared at Mu Linbai, apparently not liking that this wound was being pried open again.
“Level 6,” Xia Fei used his hands to draw a ‘6’ in the air.
Everyone was stunned. Such divine advancement speed! Xia Fei’s advancement speed could almost be drawn as a straight line. He was breaking through so many thresholds that he would soon reach the heavens if this kept up!
All of this had happened within the span of only a dozen or so days.
“Impossible! No one can advance that quickly!” said Yuan Dian, his eyes red.
Xia Fei did not answer. He disdained answering such questions!
“What does level 6 matter? This old man is a Law Sovereign!”
The irascible Yuan Dian struck first, his hands turning into blades and moving like lightning!
“Wildstorm!”
Xia Fei clenched his hands into fists and took Yuan Dian’s attacks head-on!
“Break for me!”
His fists stirred up gales, infused with an inexplicable power!
Yuan Dian suddenly recalled the backlash from his lightning ability and hastily retreated, at the same time drawing back his ability. As the saying went, getting bitten by a snake once would make one afraid of a rope for ten years. Yuan Dian had already suffered once at Xia Fei’s hands, so he did not dare clash directly against him again!
Mu Linbai frowned. He regarded Yuan Dian’s panic with extreme disdain.
“Three Sovereigns of the Proud Moon!”
Three crescent-shaped waves of light attacked Xia Fei like three sharp blades!
Xia Fei was well aware that these were not light or blades but rather the power of the Space law!
“Chain Blockade!”
Four tornadoes went up to meet them!
Xia Fei had already cultivated the Chain Blockade technique to stage 4, and together with a massive boost in strength, it came with an extra tornado!
*Rumble!*
It was also the power of the Space law, but Mu Linbai was a level 3 Law Sovereign, so he was naturally stronger than Xia Fei!
However, the result would make one want to crush their glasses!
Xia Fei’s tornadoes engulfed the crescent blades and annihilated them! They were far stronger than Mu Linbai’s attacks!
*Whoosh~*
The wind was slightly weakened, but it continued in the same direction, surging toward Mu Linbai!
“Not good!”
Mu Linbai paled in shock and swiftly moved to dodge.
*Rumble!*
With a boom, the laboratory’s alloy ceiling was torn up! The massive barge shuddered!
In space, Cruel Eagle grimaced. “Such a powerful attack. It seems like I have underestimated Xia Fei. Although he’s a Law Warrior, he can completely match a Law Sovereign’s offensive might!”
Yu Hua happily nodded. “Correct. Xia Fei’s strength has truly reached the level of Law Sovereigns, but don’t you find his attacks strange?”
Yu Hua’s eyes flashed with a cunning light as he asked.
Cruel Eagle replied, “Strange, yes, definitely. The Space law should not possess this sort of formidable offensive power. Many clans and warriors cultivate the Space law, but I’ve never heard of anyone who could make this law so dominating. It is as if Xia Fei’s law energy has some special attribute that can subvert and disrupt the attacks of others, neutralizing them upon first contact.”
Yu Hua wondered a loud, “Could Xia Fei be adding another law into his Space law?”
Cruel Eagle shook his head. “It’s possible. There are two circumstances in which the attack can become this powerful. The first is that the Law Adept has comprehended a new principle and the second is that he has added in another law.
“Everyone knows that the Three Great Laws stand proudly over the universe, with the others being known as minor laws or support laws. It is not easy to merge a minor law with a great law, and not every law that can be merged. This is because laws often repel one another naturally. I do not know of any support law that can boost his offensive might this much, so this should be some new power that Xia Fei comprehended from the Space law!
“It’s truly an epiphany that others would envy greatly. If he is allowed to continue, perhaps Xia Fei could really found his own faction and develop a new kind of law power. Even advancing into the God race is not out of the realm of possibility!”
Cruel Eagle seemed very excited, but Yu Hua could not get excited at all.
“Could it be the long-lost Time law?” Yu Hua suggested.
Cruel Eagle immediately turned wary at these words, looking uneasily at him.
Yu Hua smiled. “Cruel Eagle, we all know that only two of the Three Great Laws are still extant. The most important Law of Time has been lost to the ages, while your original name is Wanyan Yudu, and you’re a member of the Wanyan family.
“It is said that the Wanyans were the last ones to have any interaction with the Law of Time. As a successor, did you never have a chance to interact with the Law of Time?”
Yu Hua shot him a profound gaze. “I mean no harm. I happen to have learned of your real identity from a friend, and since we’ve had a chance meeting, I asked for your help to understand why Xia Fei’s law attacks are so powerful.”
Cruel Eagle, or perhaps one could call him Wanyan Yudu, scowled. Having his real identity exposed was not a good thing to him.
“When I was young, I saw my grandfather use the Law of Time, so I can be sure that Xia Fei’s attack doesn’t contain the power of it.”
“So you’re saying that the Wanyan family really did find the Law of Time?”
Cruel Eagle let out a long sigh. “I wish that our clan had never possessed that wicked law; otherwise, the Wanyan family wouldn’t have been wiped out, I wouldn’t have lost an eye, and I wouldn’t have needed to spend my childhood wandering around for fear of my life.
“Xia Fei isn’t using the Time law, and I can’t use it, either. This is because the Wanyan Clan was wiped out when I was very young and I hadn’t yet reached the age where I could study it.”
Yu Hua shook his head. “So you’re saying that you have no more use.”
Cruel Eagle was shocked. “You said you would let me go!”
“This is the Law Realm. Did you really take my words seriously?” Yu Hua coldly sneered, returning the words Cruel Eagle had said to Dark Ghost several minutes ago.
“I kept you around to see if you could recognize what law Xia Fei has been using. Since you couldn’t, you can die now!”
Yu Hua’s eyes erupted with killing intent!
