Chapter 521: A Battle between Demon and Man!
It was as if the Demon Chrysalis did not wish to wake up. It lay there lazily, its wounds healing fast, and seemed not to need food as all it took was sleep to mend its deep injuries.
Xia Fei looked through the porthole of this s.h.i.+p. The time he spent with this monstrous creature had been unpleasant. As its wounds were gradually healing, Xia Fei knew that it would not be long until it went out in search of food again.
Before this happened, Xia Fei needed to prepare. The danger of venturing through a spatial tear together with the Demon Chrysalis was great, and who knew what its goal might be with the next attack? Would it lead him into the vast expanse of s.p.a.ce? If so, Xia Fei would really be helpless and would likely be unable to muster any tears to cry about it.
No matter the case, he knew that he had to take his chances. Xia Fei simply refused to forever be trapped in this unending darkness.
In the blink of an eye, three days had pa.s.sed, and during this period of time, Xia Fei had successfully cultivated his rank 4 martial arts technique, Wildstorm.
This fist technique was very interesting, giving up the advantage of range to devote entirely in furious close combat.
Attaining an even greater attack power by bearing a greater risk, Xia Fei was not at all irked by this fist technique and, instead, loved it greatly. The idea of fighting desperately in the face of mortal danger went well with Xia Fei’s life philosophy of price.
“Level 4 Law of s.p.a.ce and stage 3 Chain Blockade as well as Wildstorm.” Phantom listed off Xia Fei’s present progress. “In just seven days! If those people from the Yu family were to learn that, not even getting thrown into a spatial tear stopped your promotion, their eyes would most likely fall out in surprise.”
Phantom appeared to be very delighted, though Xia Fei remained calm as ever. “The level doesn’t matter. What matters is if it’s enough to deal with the vicious Demon Chrysalis.”
With that, Xia Fei resumed his cultivation. He was like a lunatic who did not spend a moment of his time resting or sleeping, devoting 200% of his energy into the task. He had made leaps and bounds in his cultivation these past seven days, so plenty of sweat was hidden behind his wondrous advancement.
This was how cultivation worked. Talent without hard work would just be futile, and reality only cared for the results. No one knew how much sweat and tears were behind a genius’s success!
Suddenly!
The Demon Chrysalis let out a huge roar! After enough rest, this monstrosity was on the move once more!
“Let’s go!”
Xia Fei dashed out of the wars.h.i.+p and picked up a piece of armor plating as cover from amid the refuse and followed after the wake of the Demon Chrysalis.
The Demon Chrysalis roared as it glided, sounding like it was thirsting for vengeance.
It was hard to determine direction in the middle of all consuming darkness. Xia Fei had no idea where it was headed to, but his keen senses told him that this seemed to be the way back to the Yu family.
A strange feeling came over him. If it was heading back to the Yu family, they would surely be lying in wait for its return. Could this Demon Chrysalis not want to like or was it so confident that it would win this time?
“No! That’s not right!” Phantom said somberly. “The energy in the Demon Chrysalis is much stronger than days before, and it is even more unstable with great volatility!”
Xia Fei was abruptly stunned. He suddenly realized an issue and came to a different explanation beyond it going crazy after losing the last fight.
Perhaps the Demon Chrysalis was on the verge of evolution! That was why it was not at all afraid of the heavy defense Yu family had likely had in place; it was on the cusp of evolving!
A numbing sensation was felt on his scalp, and this dangerous conjecture left Xia Fei feeling unsettled. If this Demon Chrysalis evolved, the chances of his survival would be lowered even more. Perhaps even the entire Yu family could be facing ruin!
…
Xia Fei guess was slowly being confirmed as the energy within the Demon Chrysalis was constantly changing. The strong fluctuations were precursor indicators of its coming evolution.
All of a sudden, the Demon Chrysalis came to a halt, and its body shuddered violently, as if it were experiencing a stroke.
Its energy levels kept leaking, cras.h.i.+ng out like waves in an ocean!
*Boom!*
Xia Fei was sent hurtling by the immense energy output, spinning for hundreds of meters before coming to stop in the suspended s.p.a.ce.
“c.r.a.p! The Demon Chrysalis has discovered your presence!” Phantom exclaimed.
Due to the immense surge of energy, Xia Fei did not manage to hold onto that armor plating which he had been using as cover, so when he went flying out, he was completely exposed to the Demon Chrysalis.
Xia Fei froze in place. An icy stare appeared once more, sweeping over his entire body like an X-ray scan. Indubitably, this was the gaze from the Demon Chrysalis!
Not even sparing a moment of thought, Xia Fei began retreating as fast as he could!
In this dark emptiness between the gaps of s.p.a.ce, Xia Fei could hardly demonstrate the prowess of his speed ability. Even if he devoted 100% of his strength to escape, he could only at best reach about one fifth of his maximum speed.
When the eyes of enemies meet, only an all-consuming rage followed. The Demon Chrysalis recognized Xia Fei. In its eyes, he was a comrade of Yujiang, the one who had grievously injured it before, making him an enemy as well!
ROAR!
The Demon Chrysalis let out a crazed bellow. It then shrank its body backward before springing out with its mountain-size ma.s.s, heading right for Xia Fei!
“Chain Blockade!”
Given how events had transpired, Xia Fei made the decision to go all out against it!
Three tornado-like spatial tears blasted off, looking like they could shred any enemy in their path!
Though Xia Fei’s Chain Blockade had only risen by one stage, their might was many times that from before.
The reason was very simple: Xia Fei was now a level 4 Law Warrior! His grasp of Law and his comprehension of martial arts techniques had doubled!
*Boom boom boom!*
The Demon Chrysalis’s body curled. Xia Fei’s attack had actually caused it to falter!
It let out a mournful wail. It simply could not understand just how a small human, the size of an ant, could actually have such power that made it convulse thusly.
It must be said that, several days ago, Xia Fei had actually been made haggard by it chasing him; had it not been for Yujiang’s timely intervention, Xia Fei would have lost his life to the Demon Chrysalis then!
Beasts were the most sensitive to the changes in power, and this Demon Chrysalis realized that Xia Fei already had the strength to fight on par with it!
“Wildstorm!”
After unleas.h.i.+ng Chain Blockade, Xia Fei did not even pause and went charging right toward the Demon Chrysalis like a maniac!
His superhuman a.n.a.lytical abilities had let him come to the conclusion that getting out of the Demon Chrysalis’s domain was an insurmountable task!
There were some people who would demonstrate an explosive combat power well beyond their strength when faced with a desperate situation; Xia Fei was one such person!
Xia Fei had never been one to sit and wait, so the moment he realized that there was no escape, his fighting spirit surged ferociously!
“Put everything on the line!”
The Demon Chrysalis was ultimately an intelligent organism, and it simply could not understand just how this puny human had managed to increase his cultivation by a lot in this little time, nor why he was staking everything and risking his life like this. Logically speaking, should he not be fleeing?
The creature had yet to recover, and with how it was distracted by everything, Xia Fei successfully got into close quarters with the Demon Chrysalis.
*Kaboom*
An explosive strike!
Then another!
His two fists wildly rained blows on the Demon Chrysalis’s body!
After adding the Law of Primal Chaos to his punches, every hit with the fist technique Wildstorm truly exploded like a storm of blows!
Adding Xia Fei’s wild attacks which threw caution to the wind, this fist technique truly lived up to its name!
In combat, it was not just a contest of technique, it was even more so about momentum!
Without a doubt, when the naturally gifted warrior, Xia Fei, decided to go all out, even the G.o.d of death would have to back down!
*Boom!*
The thick spatial barrier around the Demon Chrysalis had come under the forceful and repeated attacks of Xia Fei, so much so that his fists were now making direct contact with its fles.h.!.+
Wildstorm was not about technical skill; in fact, the punches were plain and uninspired.
However, this simple and unflashy martial arts technique allowed its user to unleash their greatest combat strength incisively and brilliantly!
The Demon Chrysalis let out a miserable cry!
A human smaller than a speck of dust in its eyes had managed to inflict great pain to it, so its pride was severely injured.
Skin broke and flesh was exposed!
Very soon, a wound appeared where Xia Fei had let loose his fists, and black blood came flowing freely!
Xia Fei clutched onto the grade 4 Origin Crystal, recovering his energy and strength even as he continued his attacks.
Xia Fei was like a merciless butcher, not letting up even after getting through the Demon Chrysalis’s skin. His attacks were even penetrating its body deeply!
This was not a fight. It was practically a miner commandeering an excavator digging deeper into the enemy’s internal organs! It was as if Xia Fei wanted to find out whether the heart of the Demon Chrysalis was red or black!
*Bang!*
Xia Fei thrust Lapis Killing Rain right into the Demon Chrysalis’ body, and in that instant, a rain of blue fell! Every droplet was like fatal acid, corroding its flesh constantly when it came into contact with its body!
The creature was ultimately still superior to Xia Fei, so after recovering from its brief shock, the pain it was feeling made it so that it could not help but concentrate and earnestly deal with this unremarkable foe.
*Swish~*
An invisible thread of energy bound Xia Fei; the Demon Chrysalis used the same technique from before in an attempt to drag Xia Fei into its body!
“Change!”
Dragonscale Hectoslasher transformed into its dual blade form, and Xia Fei stabbed the two sabers dead center to the Demon Chrysalis, making use of the creature’s large suctioning force.
Being swallowed by the Demon Chrysalis would be a disastrous outcome!
The Demon Chrysalis pulled at Xia Fei, but he clung onto its body, so the more force it exerted only caused greater pain to itself.
However, the Demon Chrysalis had already been tortured to its breaking point by Xia Fei, so it completely ignored the tremendous pain. This creature had never in its life been faced with such an embarra.s.sing situation, having been so badly injured by an insignificant lifeform. It would become a laughingstock if word got out! It was part of the Demon race—an existence that sat at the apex of the Law Realm!
*Roar!*
The Demon Chrysalis used even more strength, pulling Xia Fei’s entire being into the air, and as a result, his hand tore a large piece of fleshy Chrysalis meat!
*GROWL!*
The Demon Chrysalis let out a wail of agony from the pain. It proceeded to send Xia Fei swiftly straight through its opened maw, ready to eat him whole!
The six rows of white teeth appeared right before Xia Fei, and each one was enough to shred him into pieces!
The situation was dire! Phantom already had his eyes closed, not daring to look.
‘Is this still a loss?
‘Even after such a mad struggle, is death still the outcome here?’
At that moment, plenty of thoughts swirled in Xia Fei’s mind, and among them was a very bizarre, very insane, and absolutely eccentric idea.
‘No, I’m not going to concede defeat till the very last second!
‘Crafty Approach!’
Xia Fei’s entire body was about to be shredded when he suddenly began twisting in an extreme manner.
*Whoos.h.!.+*
A sharpened white tooth brushed past Xia Fei’s body, but dodging just this one tooth did not mean that he was out of the woods. There were still five rows of them waiting to tear him into pieces!
Xia Fei was now holding onto the Blood Crystal.
It was a very grotesque dagger, which looked no different from a club that had been haphazardly tossed aside.
Xia Fei had once been very dissatisfied with it due to its ugly looks and its bluntness.
However, today, Xia Fei’s plan was to use this dagger and attempt something insane!
Xia Fei used every bit of strength in his body to stab the Demon Chrysalis’s gums with the Blood Crystal.
“Law of Primal Chaos!”
*Zing~*
Xia Fei sent a stream of Law force into the dagger.
“Change it!
“With disruptive power!”
