Chapter 738: The Annoyed Golcen Ward
Golcen Ward had yet to notice the significant improvement in Xia Fei’s strength even now. ‘One can win a hundred battles once they know their opponent as much as they know themselves.’ Already aware of Furball, Peacock Blue, and also the Blood Crystal dagger’s existences, Golcen complacently believed that he had a pretty good grasp of Xia Fei’s power and capabilities.
Unfortunately for him, not even in his wildest imagination did he consider that Xia Fei, together with Furball and Peacock Blue, would consume Xia Laoshi’s entire reserve in this one month!
That was a total of 14,700 grade 5 Origin Crystals!
The result of which was an explosive improvement in strength!
The Xia Fei today was nothing like the Xia Fei of one month ago!
*Rumble*
Peacock Blue had hidden itself deep underground. Its four thorny bluegrass blades were about the same thickness before, but they were in fact a lot sturdier and more than one kilometer in length!
Furball had come hurtling out from Xia Fei’s bosom; after the Holy Beast Shatterstar’s fifth transformation, he had since left the child stage and entered the adolescent age. It turned from gold to silver, while the size issue that Xia Fei used to be very worried about had been resolved, and the beast was now the size of a baseball, round and shiny!
Instantaneous movement!
In a flash, Golcen Ward’s figure arrived on a black rock that Xia Fei was standing on in 0.01 second.
Before he even got a firm footing, he could feel the ground beneath shaking violently!
*Crash*
Peacock Blue poked out from underground, attempting to use its sharp bluegrass blades to trap Golcen Ward. Meanwhile, Furball and Xia Fei both did a pincer attack from two directions, the front and the back!
This was Xia Fei’s favorite move: three-dimensional attack!
Law Overlord Golcen did not take Xia Fei’s attack seriously and merely sneered. “Just in time!”
With a shout, everyone saw as a faint and energy-like protective glow suddenly appeared in the position where Golcen Ward was standing. This was the Law of Spatial Compaction’s power!
Like a steel cage, the Law of Spatial Compaction needed its user to carve out an area before applying Law Force from every direction! It would then be able to crush the space into nothingness instantly!
Xia Fei was startled. He abruptly halted his footsteps and changed directions, darting away from the area that Golcen Ward had carved out.
*Crunch*
With the space outlined, the next step was the compaction!
At that moment when Xia Fei avoided the space, an area of one mile radius began compacting! Just like a ball that had gotten deflated, all the matter within the space disappeared! The huge black rock got crushed into granular sand!
The reason why Golcen Ward attacked despite having seen Xia Fei not enter his trap was that Peacock Blue and Furball were still there even though Xia Fei had already escaped!
He knew very well that the Immemorial Mystical Armament Peacock Blue and Holy Beast Shatterstar were Xia Fei’s strongest helpers. Rather than saying that his brother had fought to a stalemate with Xia Fei, it was more accurate to say that Xia Fei, with the help of a Holy Beast and an Immemorial Mystical Armament, had forced him into a draw!
As long as he got rid of these two powerful and stubborn assistants of Xia Fei, Golcen Ward would hardly have any problem taking down this young man all by himself!
That was why he had unleashed his powerful Spatial Compaction martial arts technique, for his targets were Furball and Peacock Blue!
Peacock Blue’s long bluegrass blades abruptly shrank, and crunching and cracking vegetation noises came from within, sounding very much like trees that had been run over by a steamroller, resulting in a very agonizing experience.
However, at this moment, Furball did something Golcen Ward had not expected!
*Kaboom*
A white glare, with Furball’s body as the core, shone forth in every direction rapidly!
It was like an atom bomb that got detonated!
*Boom*
Law force with a mixture of Origin Energy, as well as all the matter caught in this explosion, was indiscriminately attacked!
This was the new combat ability that Furball had learned after advancing to level 5: Energy Bombardment Wave!
Right now, Furball was like an unstable bomb, exploding wherever he flew to, destroying everything around him!
Just imagine how great a deterrence he was, being a flying and repeatedly exploding bomb that had a reserve of energy the size of a bottomless sea!
The reason why Xia Fei could leap out at that last minute was he knew of Furball’s current strength!
Golcen Ward still believed that Xia Fei, Furball, and Peacock Blue were who they used to be, but he was sorely mistaken!
The Xia Fei of today was a warrior whose speed ability had reached the maximum level! Furball, also, grew to a level 5 adolescent Holy Beast! Furthermore, while Golcen Ward had yet to feel Peacock Blue’s might, he would soon enough.
“Darkness Metal Weapon! Ode of Hundred Spirits!”
*Zing*
Countless cross-stars flew out from Xia Fei’s hands, going right for that mass far away that was exploding in greater intensity!
This was the plan that Xia Fei had set in motion from the beginning, searching for an opportunity and never once underestimating his opponent. However, he was not one to give even an inch of leeway once he made his move!
A magnetic disturbance field wreaked havoc when the Origin Energy and the law force collided, and that was the time when his darkness metal weapon would best demonstrate its power! That area of space turned even more tumultuous, striking Law Overlord Golcen Ward in one swift motion, causing him to get caught in that magnetic storm!
It should be said that Peacock Blue and Furball had both made quite a bit of sacrifice all for the sake of Xia Fei’s plan succeeding. The two were even willing to shoulder all the risk! It was their feint that had created this immense magnetic storm!
*Whoosh*
The tornado-like storm, which had stirred, was abruptly dissipated!
All that remained was Golcen Ward and a livid expression on his face as he glared daggers at Xia Fei. His body was riddled in cuts, which while not particularly eye-catching, no doubt Xia Fei was the perpetrator of!
Be it in terms of craftiness or tricks, Xia Fei had pulled a fast one over Golcen Ward, and that in itself was already an inexplicable achievement!
*Whizz*
Before Ode of Hundred Spirits got near, it was sent flying by Golcen Ward’s powerful aura, scattering away. Xia Fei had a feeling that ever since he cultivated his speed ability to its maximum level, his second special ability, telekinesis, had started to weaken; he had no idea why this was the case, though.
*Whoosh*
Furball flew back to Xia Fei’s side after the successful attack, proudly standing on his shoulder.
Though Peacock Blue had incurred a massive injury from this exchange, it had ultimately completed the assigned task to it by Xia Fei. The bluegrass, thus, slowly retracted from the ground and climbed its way back up Xia Fei’s right arm once more.
From afar, Xia Fei stared at Golcen Ward with a pair of sharp and cold eyes!
...
“No way! Xia Fei actually managed to injure Golcen Ward? That’s completely inconceivable!” a warrior exclaimed loudly in one of the lounges. He was a Law Emperor as well, yet he did not even have the courage or the ability to exchange blows with Golcen Ward; he was even more incapable of injuring the man. As such, what Xia Fei had just done practically stunned this whole crowd of spectators!
“Hmph! What do you mean by Xia Fei injuring him! It’s more accurate to say that his Immemorial Mystical Armament and Holy Beast managed to land blows on Golcen Ward!” A Law Emperor from the Nine Fan Clan snorted coldly. The Nine Fan Clan had good relations with the Moonward Clan; now that the latter was in such dire straits, the former was naturally feeling very distressed. Too bad that the Nine Fans were being suppressed by the Skywings’ might, so they could only watch, not daring to lend a hand, as the Moonwards battled it out with the superior family of Xia. After all, the Nine Fan Clan was aware that grim consequences awaited them if they ended up provoking the Skywings madmen.
As long as it was a clan in White Horse Constellation, they would have fear when it came to the Skywings. This was all because of the fact that each and every one of the Skywing Clan members was an unreasonable madman.
“You can’t say that,” a Law Emperor from the Withered Mu Clan interjected. “Any warrior is only expected to have many tools at their disposal. Be it weapons, armor, exotic beasts, or drugs, all are part of a warrior’s combat power; the fact Xia Fei managed to subdue both Peacock Blue and Shatterstar should be considered a testament to his strength.”
“That makes sense! Forget the strange temperament Holy Beasts have, even the Immemorial Mystical Armaments aren’t easily subjugable. When it comes to such powerful beings, it isn’t a case of some individual selecting them but the weapon or beast itself choosing their wielder or owner. These two having chosen to follow Xia Fei is proof that he is a man of means.”
Plenty of people were gathered in the lounges, but as the saying went, ‘Things that do not matter to an individual can be easily dismissed.’ Many of these elites present were here for enjoyment’s sake and were only in congregation to critique the fight as uninvolved spectators from the sidelines. The audience were divided into several factions, with some being closer to the Moonward Clan and the others to the Skywing Clan. Obviously, the Nine Fan Clan belonged to the former faction, defending the Moonwards to their greatest abilities, while the Withered Mu Clan, influenced by their patriarch and Mu Fuping, was doing their best to speak up for the Skywings.
Arguments were unavoidable upon making their stands, and a group of these Law Emperors had actually begun quarrelling right there in one of the lounges.
“All of you, shut up!” an elderly voice thundered with unmatched vigor. Everyone hurriedly shrank their heads back and looked over. They had no idea when the patriarch of the Cruelwolf Clan, level 3 Law Overlord Wolf Daiteng, had arrived, but the man was now standing behind the whole lot of them.
The prestige of the Cruelwolf Patriarch was unlike many others. Aside from the Glacier and Snowdrift Clans that were mostly detached from worldly affairs, the Cruelwolves were acknowledged as the most upright and prestigious clan. Highly respected throughout the Law Realm, no one dared to make another sound when they saw that it was actually this esteemed elder who had spoken.
“While Xia Fei appeared to have had the upper hand when he landed that blow, he ignited a bag of dynamite, instead! Golcen Ward is a level 5 Law Overlord! How can his prowess be something you people are able to measure?!”
After sweeping a cold glance over at these people, Wolf Daiteng continued speaking. “Your elders brought you here not to chit chat but to let you see with your own eyes how experts like the Skywings and Moonwards fight, instead! Their intention is to have you learn something from this, so you’d all better keep your eyes peeled on this match!”
Wolf Daiteng was also a little unreasonable. Most of those present were not elites from his Cruelwolf Clan, yet he did not seem to care a hoot about that. His clan had always been just, speaking their mind whenever they saw something they were dissatisfied with. Everyone in the clan shared this straightforwardness, so the crowd did not dare to voice their opposition. Each of them turned away and departed with chilled expressions frozen on their faces.
“D*mn! Xia Fei’s too impatient, provoking Golcen Ward too early. I’m afraid his life will truly be at risk in this fight.” Wolf Daiteng sighed.
...
With his face slightly numb, Golcen Ward lifted a hand and brushed it where Peacock Blue had wounded him on the cheek. The wound in itself was not the least bit serious, but Golcen Ward still minded it very much. This was because that numbing sensation he felt made him think of something: poison!
Recalling the fight just then, it was evident that it had been a contest between his law force and Holy Beast Shatterstar’s Origin Energy; Peacock Blue should not even be in the picture, yet Peacock Blue had managed to weather the storm created by the two powerful energy forces, leverage the strength, and forcefully destroy his protective layer over his body, leaving a slight scratch on Golcen Ward’s face.
Peacock Blue endured the physical damage in order to leave him this barely visible wound? That was far too abnormal!
Thinking back on how sinister Xia Fei was, Golden Ward made an important decision.
He would end this fight as quickly as possible!
The moment he decided this, Golcen Ward no longer hesitated and began raining a relentless assault on Xia Fei!
*Rumble*
With this Law Overlord going all-out, chasing after Xia Fei in a crazed offensive, it was as if Golcen Ward had gone insane!
Even though Golcen Ward had yet to unleash the most extreme Law Integration, Xia Fei still faced immense pressure from fending off the other’s fierce onslaught!
In one of the lounges, Xia Buyun and the Law Emperors of the Skywing Clan watched the fight anxiously. Each of them was pale-faced with their fists clenched!
All of them knew that Xia Fei had been forced to fight for the Skywings and that he did not wish to hide under the protection of their clan. He had resolutely taken up the challenge of taking on Golcen Ward, which was deemed as an impossible task!
In the blink of an eye, hundreds of exchanges occurred, and Xia Fei effortfully defended. The battle was rapidly changing, and the pressure made it impossible for anyone to catch their breath! Furball and Peacock Blue were both desperately aiding Xia Fei in resisting the crazed attacks of Golcen Ward.
“Oh! Looks like Xia Fei has released a robot!” Xia Zonghai suddenly cried out.
Everyone saw a small being, no taller than Xia Fei’s knees, appear. With arms of keen scalpels and a physical agility as strange as Xia Fei’s, reaching speeds even faster than his own!
“What is that? Could it be another hidden treasure of Xia Fei?!” Xia Zonghai muttered with a furrowed brow.
