Chapter 762: Divine Beast Blackscaled Axeblade!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
A new development!
Xia Fei heard a cry of alarm, which seemed to have come from Moon Song!
Moon Song had never been someone who got scared easily, and from shrillness of that cry, he could already imagine the color draining from her face right at this moment. Still, what could have happened that would make someone so tough and crude as Moon Song become so nervous?
“Go!”
Xia Fei roared, jumping out of the battlefield and rus.h.i.+ng into the depths of the canyon. Several Demon Race warriors with decent speed tried to pursue Xia Fei, but before they could make it a few steps, Peac.o.c.k Blue suddenly erupted from the ground, swept them up, and crushed them into pulp!
*Whoosh~*
With a push from his feet, Xia Fei instantly arrived at the site of the incident. He saw the three girls keeping close to the mountain walls as they stared at a fiery-red mountain across from them.
The canyon opened up here, the s.p.a.ce taking the form of a gourd. The canyon walls on the two sides were black, but the mountain in the middle of the canyon was red like flames. This mountain was covered in innumerable holes, and a rumbling sound like a train was constantly coming from the inside of the mountain.
.
“What’s going on here?!” Xia Fei stopped and asked.
Moon Song’s face was pale white, and her arm was now sporting several b.l.o.o.d.y wounds. Xiaoyu and Autumn Cicada were mostly unharmed.
“I don’t know,” replied Moon Song, her willow-leaf brows creasing.
“You don’t know? What do you mean you don’t know? Did you cut your own arm?” Before Xia Fei could speak, it was Whitey which b.u.t.ted in, speaking in an intimidating tone.
Alas, Moon Song was not taking any lip from Whitey, savagely replying, “You dumb bird, shut up! I’m saying that I don’t know what appeared just now!”
Whitey was dumbfounded. She used her wings to cover her beak, so furious that she could not speak.
Xia Fei was curious about why Moon Song’s words did not match the scene. She was clearly injured, but Moon Song was clueless on who had attacked her? This was strange, very strange!
“It’s like this. Moments ago, Miss Moon Song used the Law of Illusion to enclose this mountain, laying out a trap to aid our retreat, but her actions seemingly provoked something inside the mountain, for it rushed out and attacked us!” Xiaoyu swiftly explained. Autumn Cicada also looked like she wanted to say something, but that unhurried personality of hers was unable to get in a single word in this tense situation, so she could only keep her anxieties to herself.
“So what exactly was it that attacked you?!” Xia Fei asked.
The three girls all shook their heads at the same time, leaving Xia Fei even more confused.
“Xia Fei, the Demon Race warriors are about to catch up!” Blackie urgently said.
“Mm!” Xia Fei grunted, then he grabbed all three of the girls urgently. “Follow me!”
This was undoubtedly a beautiful scene. Xiaoyu, Moon Song, and Autumn Cicada were all beauties who could topple cities, could entrance tens of thousands of men, and Xia Fei was embracing all three of them!
If outsiders were to see this, some particularly l.u.s.tful men might even start bleeding from their noses!
The heavens and earth bore witness to the fact that Xia Fei truly did not have a selfish bone in his body! The enemies were upon them, and none of the three girls was a high-speed warrior; in this perilous situation, Xia Fei wasted no time on hesitation. No matter what, he must get them away from here!
What a warrior feared the most in a life-or-death struggle was misgivings in the middle of battle. If someone he loved or cared about was at his side, how could he possibly fight with all his strength. Even if Xia Fei could single-handedly challenge all the Demon Race warriors, that had to be when Xiaoyu and the others were safely away!
Girls were complicated and strange creatures, and Xia Fei’s simple gesture had surprising effects. The moment he embraced them, all three blushed and began to breathe faster, their hearts beginning to thump rapidly as their faces became somewhat confused.
This was truly lethal. Did they not understand their situation? Moreover, a young girl could not just go yearning for love wherever they wanted, no?
Alas, this was an instinctive reaction, and the three girls did not care about the problems with the time or setting. All they felt was Xia Fei’s formidable concern, which made them go all soft.
Embracing these three beauties, Xia Fei grimly jumped off the ground. He hoped to get them somewhere safe as quickly as possible. He could not move at full speed, for fear that the abrupt increase in wind pressure would tear the women apart. After all, they were not speed ability users, nor did they understand the Law of Speed.
He had just run several hundred meters when suddenly—
The rumbling of the train accelerated, and what seemed like a train whistle resounded, coming straight in Xia Fei’s direction! However, there was no sign of any train; Xia Fei truly had no idea what sort of thing was getting close to him!
*Rumble!*
An enormous black silhouette flew through the air and swiftly moved in front of Xia Fei, blocking off his path! It was truly the size of a train! With a length of over five kilometers!
It was like steel yet not steel, its rectangular body covered in thick and tough armor! It was like a centipede that had been magnified by many times, made up of numerous linked sections!
It was no wonder the sound was like a train. This was the rhythmic rumbling created by this ma.s.sive creature as it moved through the ground!
In a flash, Xia Fei understood everything. That red mountain was the monster’s nest, and all those holes on the mountain had been created by this monster as it moved around!
Moon Song’s group was attacked because they had inadvertently disturbed the slumbering monster!
There were fine protrusions on the sh.e.l.l, like the thorns of a cactus, and Moon Song’s arm had been injured by these things!
“Peac.o.c.k Blue!”
Just when he was about to collide with this enormous creature, Xia Fei thrust his right arm into the ground, and his body rapidly rose into the air.
The giant creature saw that it failed to collide with Xia Fei, so it raised its tail, bringing it down from the heavens like a collapsing pillar!
“Crafty Approach!”
Xia Fei’s body quickly turned in the air, using his beautiful and bizarre movements to dodge this attack!
Crafty Approach was undoubtedly beautiful, but it put a burden on the three girls, the random movements nearly causing them to vomit.
*Bang!*
The moment Xia Fei hit the ground, he threw the three girls to Blackie and Whitey. “Take them!”
*Whoosh~*
The two birds moved nimbly, swiftly descending while using their giant wings to grab the girls.
Blackie glared. These were living people. They were so beautiful, yet Xia Fei was so ruthless that he roughly threw them at him!
“Get rid of it!” Xia Fei furiously roared! With Furball, he followed that monster that seemed to be both living and machine.
*Bang!*
Tough!
Incredibly tough!
Xia Fei had thrusted the Blood Crystal with all his strength, but he had failed to penetrate its body!
Even more surprising was that Furball’s bomb also failed to injure it!
“What is this thing! It’s body is impervious?!” Whitey blurted out in shock.
*Whoosh~*
The monster once more burrowed into the earth, its frightening rumbling resounding through the canyon!
*Boom boom~*
The Demon Race warriors had caught up now. Xia Fei suddenly felt a headache coming on. Red mountains and hills extended for several hundred kilometers in front of him, this monster’s nest, and behind him were pursuers! This was a dire situation!
*Bang!*
However, the battlefield was changing even more quickly than Xia Fei could antic.i.p.ate. Suddenly, even more train-like monsters appeared, surrounding those Demon Race warriors and beginning to fight them!
This hilly region and the entire Ancient Battlefield was drowned in the rumbling sound of death!
…
“Oh, no! Xia Fei’s drawn out the Blackscaled Axeblade!” In the control room, Hua Hei said in shock. He and his brother Hua Bai could not enter the battlefield, but this did not prevent them from spectating the battle from the control room.
Hua Bai frowned. “Blackscaled Axeblade? How’s it that I didn’t know about the Ancient Battlefield having this kind of monster?”
Hua Hei replied with a grim face, “He’s not a monster! He’s a divine beast! His rank is higher than our Blackie and Whitey put together! Long ago, he was the personal divine beast of a Demon Race bigshot, but that bigshot died on the battlefield. The Blackscaled Axeblade, loyal to his master, remained to protect his body!
“The battlefield was closed later on, so all information on the Blackscaled Axeblade has been lost. I didn’t think that he’d still be alive after so long!”
Hua Bai was enlightened. “Now that you mention it, I kind of remember! I recalled someone saying that those warriors who knew about him would intentionally choose to avoid the region, afraid that the Blackscaled Axeblade would suddenly attack. Still, it’s been ages since I last heard of the Blackscaled Axeblade injuring someone. What provoked this mythical beast today?”
Hua Hei pointed at Moon Song’s group on the screen and sternly said, “The Axeblade Blackscale is also known as the Unstoppable Chain. Even when he’s sleeping, he’s still moving. He has a good temper, but that doesn’t mean that he won’t hurt anyone. Any exotic beast has its sensitive part. One of those three girls might’ve accidentally touched a pain point of the Blackscaled Axeblade.”
On the screen, the battle continued. Xia Fei cautiously led Moon Song’s group away. The sudden appearance of the Blackscaled Axeblade had actually been a big help, no one noticed what Xia Fei and the others were doing.
But it was the Demon Race warriors that were in dire condition. Sezsny was urging his men to attack this ancient divine beast like a madman, and the more frenzied their attacks, the more callous the divine beast’s counterattacks! The two sides were locked in a fierce battle!
“It’s a good thing that Xia Fei is smart enough not to wrangle with this ancient divine beast,” Hua Hei said in relief as he watched Xia Fei craftily escape.
Hua Bai was greatly confused. “This isn’t right! The Demon Race has so many experts, so how can they not even deal with a single divine beast? Look there, none of their attacks are doing anything to the Blackscaled Axeblade!”
Hua Hei smiled. “This divine beast doesn’t have any other skills. He only knows how to run around with its formidable body, killing or severely wounding anyone he crashes into. His strongest attribute is the axeblade scales covering his body! Not only are they abnormally tough, they’re strongly resistant to law power!”
“Resistant to law power?!” Hua Bai was stunned. Normally, the best armor was not just tough but also capable of weakening law force. The higher the rank of the armor, the greater its ability to resist laws.
The Blackscaled Axeblade’s tough sh.e.l.l was the best armor! It could resist large-scale law power attacks!
The strongest of these Demon Race warriors was a level 9 Law Emperor, and their attacks were just a minor itch to the Blackscaled Axeblade. They failed to injure him and were knocked aside in return.
*Bang bang bang!*
Like train cars rapidly linking together, the full form of the Blackscaled Axeblade finally emerged. Now that he had brought together his entire form, he was a full one hundred kilometers long!
The Demon Race warriors were slowly pushed to the brink. None of them realized that the one who had been frantically urging them to attack, the only Law Overlord among them, Sezsny, had disappeared without a trace!
