1560 The Undefeated Legends
Twenty-four hours had already pa.s.sed. Xia Geng and the Skywing brothers hadn’t stopped their efforts, trying to break the Realm Barrier, charging at the mysterious light dividing the two realms again and again. The Skywings didn’t believe in giving up, and walls existed precisely to be broken!
The Demonic Ant watched all this from the darkness, feeling an unprecedented sense of shock. The Skywings weren’t human, they were simply maniacs! When these maniacs found him, they chased him across the entire universe, completely ruining his plans repeatedly.
It was impossible to imagine that such a group existed in the universe, possessing heaven-defying speed and the most stubborn personalities. Most incredible of all was that these guys came from an unremarkable place within the Great Chiliocosm!
‘I hope that the Realm Barrier will open’, the Demonic Ant quietly thought to himself. It would be wonderful for him if all the Skywings entered the Lower Realm, which was why the Demonic Ant had done everything he could to help Xia Fan. He didn’t want to see these people any longer. So long as the Skywings were around, he would never be able to succeed, so the best solution was to have these madmen go and cause trouble in the Lower Realm!
!!
Two white Cathead Eagles flew out on the other side of the Barrier. These were the last two of the mythical beasts from the White City. Xia Di and Armstrong were sitting on one, and the other was Meryl’s mount.
“It’s her?” “She’s with Xia Di?” everyone called out in surprise. Many people had seen Mei Mei before and knew of her relations.h.i.+p with Xia Geng, and also that Xia Di was their son. Now, Meryl had appeared in the most unexpected fas.h.i.+on at the most unexpected moment.
Compared to seven years ago, Mei Mei seemed as young as ever. The years had silently pa.s.sed her body, but they had not been able to age her in any way. She had the body of a young woman in her prime, her skin as white and tender as a newborn baby, and there was not even the slightest wrinkle at the corners of her eyes. The crown of crystal on her head indicated that her status was rather lofty in the Lower Realm.
As Mei Mei swiped the red jewel on the ring on her hand across the Realm Barrier, her heart almost stopped. She went from a queen revered by all back into that soft and delicate woman who used to lean on Xia Geng’s shoulder and whisper sweet nothings into his ear. Sorrow and longing, repressions and grievances; all the emotions surged out of her heart, and she began to weep like a child who had done something wrong.
In front of everyone, Xia Geng put his st.u.r.dy arms around Mei Mei and said in a hoa.r.s.e voice, “You’ve lost weight…”
Mei Mei cried even harder when she heard this. She originally thought that Xia Geng would furiously roar at her, curse at her for leaving her child and husband behind, or perhaps he would pour out his inner feelings and complain about how he had suffered during these last seven years.
But there was nothing at all, as if the two of them had been separated for seven days, not seven years. Xia Geng didn’t even ask about how Mei Mei had appeared in the Lower Realm.
Everyone was slightly disappointed. What should have been an emotional drama became nothing more than an exchange of greetings. They were rather dissatisfied, that is until Traveling Buddha popped up and asked where Xia Fan was. Everyone suddenly realized the gravity of the problem. Mei Mei was here, and Xia Di had returned, but there was no sign of Xia Fan!
“My country is under attack! Xia Fan had us pick you up while he chose to remain behind at the swamp!” Mei Mei spoke in a panic. Xia Di should have been the one to say that, but he was utterly perplexed at the moment, his mouth wide open as he watched in disbelief as his father hugged some strange woman.
“Oh, so there was a war.” “We came at just the right time!” Everyone very casually commented, as if war wasn’t anything serious at all. The scene left Armstrong confused. Just what sort of group of people was this?
…
Xia Fan had been fighting against the barbarians in the swamp for four hours in a row. Like a vicious leopard lurking in the forest, he followed the principle of picking on the weak, striking at enemies who were alone. He would then throw their bodies into the enemy’s ranks to sow panic and chaos.
The Sunesians felt like they were being chased by a devil. Soldiers would go missing, and then their bodies would be thrown out of the darkness!
“He’s there! I saw him!”
“He’s also in the rear! He killed our logistics officer!”
Various disordered pieces of information reached the ears of the leader continuously. Xia Fan was appearing all over the place, such that the leader even believed that he had been ambushed by entire army of thousands.
The Sunesian army spent from noon to dusk in a panic. A march of five and a half hours had only covered a few kilometers. The scouts had disappeared, warriors had disappeared, and even the food they had brought had disappeared. All these disappearances had slowed down the army, as they were forced to stop again and again to fruitlessly search for the missing people.
Panic spread through the army. The barbaric warriors who lived in the swamp believed that they were being attacked by ghosts now, and that attacking the White City was the worst idea ever. That city built at the base of the White Spirit Mountain was clearly under the protection of some mysterious power!
“Look, he’s across from us!” a warrior suddenly shouted.
The leader quickly turned his head and saw a tall and thin figure, his back to the sunset, standing atop a hill. The leader finally got a good look at Xia Fan’s face. It was a very young face, not even twenty years old, and there was a faint curve on his lips. Even though his face was emotionless, he seemed to be smiling.
“Curse you! I swear on the Marsh Alligator King’s teeth that I will tear your face off!”
The leader was furious. The more than ten thousand Sunesian warriors raised their weapons or flashed the symbols on their arms.
One second later, Xia Fan opened his mouth, his smile becoming even bright as he started to count down, “Three! Two! One!”
The leader was furious at this arrogance. He had never seen someone so arrogant before. Couldn’t this guy see the more than ten thousand brothers from the swamp behind him?
When Xia Fan’s countdown finished, the leader got his answer.
The air was torn apart as black silhouettes dropped from the sky and appeared around Xia Fan. With them were two little dragons, one red and one white.
The Sunesian warriors rubbed their eyes. The red light of the sunset was somewhat dazzling, so they weren’t able to clearly see the Skywings’ elegant entrance onto the stage. They just felt like there was suddenly a group of people standing on the hill. There were only sixty-some of them, but they all exuded a savage aura.
“These are the people who want to invade Mei Mei’s country?” Xia Geng asked darkly.
Xia Fan shrugged. “That’s not all. They almost killed her.”
“Aaaaagggh!!!” Xia Geng let out a ghastly howl, and at the same time, their murderous aura began to soar crazily. The distant setting sun was throbbing while the earth seemed to be shuddering in fear.
It had been many years since Xia Geng had been this angry. He had become a searcher precisely because he rarely went crazy and was considered one of the most coolheaded members of the Skywings. But now, Xia Geng’s calm eyes were almost spitting flame, his murderous aura fully revealed.
“Daring to touch my woman!? Today, none of you will be walking out of this swamp alive!
“Brothers, kill!”
Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+ Whoos.h.!.+
Twenty-some people led the charge, soaring out at an absurd speed!
In this group, Xia Fan, with his speed of 10,000 meters per second, was only a rookie. Xia Geng and Xia Yu had all unlocked the three Law Thresholds and become War G.o.ds, able to cross tens of thousands of kilometers in the time it took to take a breath. They turned into streaks of light and charged into the Sunesian army. H heads flew into the air, and the swamp’s waters were quickly dyed red.
The most absurd thing in the world was speed. Numbers didn’t matter when it came to them. Only incredible reflexes or heaven-defying special abilities could stop them!
Alas, the Sunesians of the swamp didn’t have that ability. They didn’t know that the Skywings, whether it was in their own universe or in the Middle Realm’s Great Chiliocosm, were said to be undefeated. Their warriors might die on the battlefield, but they had never once lost a battle!
Now, this divine army had come to the Lower Realm!
