Chapter 1202: Black Angels’ Descent!
Black Angel Corporation. The name did indeed sound a little strange. It was clearly a combination of a family and a corporation, yet it still used the name of ‘Black Angel’. Everyone knew that angels were often portrayed as women, and in a patriarchal society, to respect women to such a degree that it was the company’s name, it just went to show that there must be some unknown connection behind it.
When that old woman dressed in black stood up and pointed at Xia Fei, Xia Fei had already thought of all these details, but Xia Fei treated them as unimportant, because he was a Skywing!
Where the Fiendish Blade pointed, G.o.ds and Demons alike were slain!
To the Skywing Wolfpack, it did not matter who was in their way. They would just kill them all!
*Whoos.h.!.+*
Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng spread their wings at the same time!
This was no simple wing, but the only two pairs of Fiend Wings in the entire Skywing Clan!
These desiccated wings were ethereal, exuding an indescribable evil Aura. If Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng were not humans and instead had been demons, they would have perfectly complemented this unholy Aura of theirs.
The Skywings had always been different. Things like right or wrong, or even the rules of the martial world, none of those mattered to a Skywing. The most important rule to them was to protect their young! No matter if it was right or wrong, they were unreasonable!
Xia Guchen had a set of Fiend Wings, and so did Xia Fei! With these Fiend Wings in full display, the Aura they gave off was as oppressive as a tsunami or a landslide!
…
Level was not the only thing that mattered in combat. Aura played a critical role as well, and the Aura from a warrior with Fiend Wings would instantly be pushed to its limit! Furthermore, this increase brought about a wicked and oppressive force. It felt like what was rus.h.i.+ng over was not two humans, but two murderous fiends!
That amber-eyed woman was startled, shocked by Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng’s Inner Demon suddenly bursting out. She took a small step back in response, and it was at that very moment Xia Gucheng arrived to deal the first strike!
*Schwing*
A quarterstaff drew a beautiful black arc as it swung around to strike his enemy.
This Soul Weapon had no name, being an unexpected find while they were clearing out the Inverse’s lair. Rated at Grade 4, it looked simple on the outside, while it actually weighed well over a thousand kilograms. The sound it made as it cut through the air was akin to the howl of a tornado!
After Xia Fei, Xia Gucheng and Xia Guanghai were the two most short-tempered individuals in the entire Skywing Clan, and this temper could be seen through the weapons they wielded. Xia Guanghai used a hammer, while the Grand Ancestor used the staff! Both were st.u.r.dy bludgeoning weapons, and when their blows landed on an enemy, they would often pulverize bodies and shatter bones!
*Zing!*
The amber-eyed old woman moved deftly, and with a bend of her back, she adopted a bridge pose; the thrust from Xia Gucheng’s quarterstaff whiffed past her chest. Though she looked very old, her movements were still as nimble as a child’s.
This woman froze for a moment after she evaded Xia Gucheng’s attack, because she had discovered that Xia Gucheng had no intention of stopping, and was still charging on. That heavy metal staff in his hand had continued along its momentum and struck the door of the Dark Mound squarely!
*Bang!*
It sounded like a volcanic eruption, a shockwave so great that people’s eardrums began to bleed!
The Dark Mound was unexpectedly being protected by some sort of energy barrier, and Xia Gucheng’s attack with his full might had actually managed to create a crack in it!
A scene that left the old woman dumbfounded immediately occurred right after. The Skywing Wolfpack had ignored her as well, all of them accelerating as they followed their Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng through the crack and into the Dark Mound!
This had all been a feint!
Xia Gucheng and Xia Fei had never planned to take her head on from the very beginning. Their goal had always been to lay waste to the Dark Mound!
The Skywing Clan’s speed was so high that the whole Wolfpack Formation made their way into the Dark Mound, and the sounds of screams and slaughter soon followed from the inside!
Xia Fei waved his hand grandly and announced in a booming voice, “Comrades! If anything were to go awry, something must be afoot! The fact that this old woman is so desperately defending this location means this must be their weakness! Do not hesitate and bring the whole place cras.h.i.+ng down! Don’t leave even a blade of gra.s.s intact!”
*Cough*
That amber-eyed old woman nearly fainted on the spot. Xia Fei was too insidious. Her own son was presently waiting to be reborn in the Dark Mound, and the Skywing Clan had already made their way inside the place. This was a terrible development!
Everyone knew how vicious and unreasonable the Skywings were, but also that those bull-headed people were also very clever! What they had done today served as the best example of that fact!
*Whoosh*
Turning around ,that old woman wanted to hurry and make her way into the Dark Mound as well, but Xia Gucheng and Xia Fei, the two Fiendwings with the most astounding speed, actually stood in her way now!
Xia Fei said with a smile, “Where are you going? Grand Ancestor, it seems like this lousy building must really have some treasure inside.”
Xia Gucheng burst into laughter and rumbled, “Even better! Wherever we go, the Skywings will never leave anything alive! No matter what can be found inside, it will all fall into our hands! We’ll just burn whatever we can’t steal!”
“How sinister!” The old woman was so enraged that her eyes were mostly white. How would she know that this was another tactic that the Skywings employed: When going against the enemy, they had no qualms resorting to the most cruel methods to the best of their ability! Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng were intentionally using their words to agitate her!
Misdirection, psychological attacks; what made the Skywings so scary was mostly because they would not have any reservations when it came to attacking the enemy’s willpower! Enemies had to die! Their psychological defenses had to be shattered!
In this world, the term ‘most vicious’ did not exist, only ‘more vicious’! The Skywings were precisely a bunch of maniacs who embodied the latter!
“I swear to the Heavens that I will spill both your guts on the ground today!” The amber-eyed old woman had turned into a crazed witch by now, and was yelling loudly at the sky.
Xia Fei casually flicked his eye to the sky and said, “There are some things that you have to do with your own hands; words are meaningless!”
Xia Gucheng immediately added, “That’s right. This crazy woman must be all talk. Kill this, kill that. She seems to think of us two like paper mache, and will collapse with a simple blow!”
That woman was really going crazy right now. She had never once had to deal with anybody as unreasonable as the Skywing Clan in her entire life, who had no qualms about criticizing others with words, even after taking advantage of them. Just how could she take that lying down?! And even more infuriating was the fact that Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng were particularly sharp-tongued, and she was unable to beat them on that front!
AHHHHHHHHH!
The crazed woman was shaking all over. She raised her two hands to the sky and did a strange motion. Her entire body was trembling, and her face was completely pale!
“Black Angel, Descend!”
*Whoos.h.!.+*
The moment she uttered those words, a sudden change happened in the stars!
The stars all over had abruptly dimmed! What followed was ephemeral figures appearing, one after another, each flying toward the woman’s body, like they were possessing her!
A verbal attack on the enemy was not their only viable tactic, so how could humans as clever as Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng let down their guards? The two exchanged looks, either man having a solemn expression on his face.
Those apparitions were actually souls!
…
“The Black Angel Descent! How thrilling! Looks like Xia Fei is bound to lose his life now for sure!”
A fairly young looking man was cheering with glee as he watched everything unfold from a short distance away from the battlefield.
Xia Fei had always been plenty of trouble, but even he could not have guessed that Qiu Yang, from Qiu Xingbang’s Heavenly Might School, had also arrived!
“A bunch of frogs from the bottom of the well! How could any of them know how frightening the Alpha Universe is?! To be able to dominate an area in the fringe region goes to show that the Xu family has the capabilities to defend their own. Now that Xu Hans.h.i.+ has executed her family’s ultimate move, there’s no way Xia Fei will be a match for her anymore!” Qiu Yang was so excited that he was practically dancing.
Beside Qiu Yang was a stern middle-aged man. With a bronze complexion and steady eyes, anyone could tell at a glance that he was not an average expert!
The Xu family was also considered an aberration in this universe, not producing a decent man in their bloodline since ancient times. They had always depended on their daughters-in-law to fight, and the same was seen in one generation after another.
“This so-called Black Angel is actually a Possession Art, and it is said that these unlucky daughters-in-law of the Xu family will not have peace even after they die. Their souls will be trapped and stored, all in preparation for when they will be needed in the future. Who knows how the Xu family could even come up with such an evil and unorthodox trick.”
Qiu Yang grit his teeth and thought nothing of it. “No matter what, it’s fine as long as it can kill Xia Fei! Father already had everything arranged for me, only for that interloper to forcefully ruin everything. It is all Xia Fei’s fault that I’ve failed to become a Dragoon like father! That is why he must die!”
The middle-aged man shook his head slightly, “Your external killing intent is too heavy. After spending so many years training, you’re still unable to suppress your emotions. Master would be very unhappy if he were to learn about this.”
Qiu Yang swiped his arm forcefully, “Feimu! There’s no need for you to b.u.t.t into my matters! I won’t be able to sleep at night if I don’t kill Xia Fei! The moment I close my eyes, all I can see is that b*st*rd’s sinister smile! You’re my sect brother, and the most capable disciple of my father’s. You must help me with this!”
Feimu sighed. Qiu Yang would ordinarily be able to hide his emotions well, but in front of a few key people, he would still end up revealing his petty nature. This worried Feimu quite a bit. A warrior that lacked an open mind would affect his own future.
Feimu nodded slightly, “Let’s see first. Xu Nanjun’s mother has used Black Angel’s Possession Art, and Xia Fei should not be a match for her. But if she loses, it will not be too late for us to strike afterwards, either.”
Qiu Yang nodded in satisfaction and turned toward the battlefield. His eyes were slowly narrowing as his hands balled up into fists.
Coincidentally, Qiu Yang had left the Collapsed Expanse of the Founders after Xia Fei, and had found out that Xia Fei had already disappeared without a trace the moment he was outside. As such, he had called upon one of his father’s best disciples, Feimu, to trouble Xia Fei. On account of Qiu Yang being his master’s own blood, Feimu had no way of refusing his demands, and had traveled all the way out here with him.
Feimu knew that Beihe was currently at Xu Nanjun’s abode, so he had come looking for his help. It just so happened that he had come across Xia Fei barging into their compound; neither Feimu or Qiu Yang were aware that Beihe had already been killed by Ulan.
Trouble! It was trouble yet again!
Xia Fei never had to go looking for trouble, as trouble would always come knocking on his front door!
With a precarious future in store for him, Xia Fei first needed to face this crazed woman that he had no idea about and her strange Possession Art. Meanwhile, there was still Qiu Yang and Feimu watching him with predatory eyes, hiding in the dark.
It was fine if it was just Qiu Yang, as he was no match for Xia Fei, but Feimu was one of the most capable disciples of Qiu Xingbang. He was a level 8 Spiritualist!
…
This was a very strange situation.
Xu Hans.h.i.+, who was also the mother of Xu Nanjun, was absorbing the power with her Possession Art. Each and every sealed soul was converging on her body, the scene like something straight out of a horror show. There were so many souls, and each of them was an Immortal Soul like Radix! Just how powerful would they be if they are all stacked on one person?!
Very soon, the crazy woman Xu Hans.h.i.+ had completely changed. Her skin had turned as black as charcoal, and her two eyes began to emit a peculiar golden electric glow!
“It’s an eye technique!” Xia Fei gasped inwardly.
“Open Thriclopean Fiend’s Origin of Heaven!” Xia Fei whispered, at the same time activating his Soul Peering technique!
It was a clash between eye techniques!
