Chapter 916: One Versus Three
Furball had seemingly gone crazy! He had rushed off to the side, moving so quickly that even Xia Fei could not catch up!
"Furball!" Xia Fei shouted. Alas, it was as if Furball could not hear him. With a *whoosh*, he disappeared into the darkness of s.p.a.ce.
Xia Fei was dumbstruck, Little Goldie dumbly stared in the direction that Furball had disappeared, and Radix"s jaw dropped!
n.o.body understood why Furball had suddenly and so freely left at this crucial moment of the battle, leaving without saying a word!
At this moment, Xia Fei was very close to the Dark lifeforms, and one part of this monstrous horde had split off to stop Xia Fei while the other part continued to pursue that mysterious light.
Xia Fei began to get very worried. He really wanted to see what had happened to Furball, but the situation did not permit him to. This was because a dense ma.s.s of Dark lifeforms, more than thirty thousand of them in fact, had surrounded Little Goldie!
Xia Fei had an outstanding speed and could easily throw off the enemy pursuit, but Little Goldie could not. It was a demon chrysalis, the king of Dark s.p.a.ce, but once it went from Dark s.p.a.ce to conventional s.p.a.ce, its power would be greatly reduced.
"Peac.o.c.k Blue!" Xia Fei roared, and the weed shot through s.p.a.ce! Using its six long blades of gra.s.s, it swept through these pitch-black monsters!
*Whoos.h.!.+*
The Blood Crystal got to work! Under the control of the Bloodscale Wisdomtail, the fiendish knife became like some fanged beast, slaughtering its way into the enemy formation! Wherever it went, the Dark lifeforms would be drained until only dregs remained!
This was Xia Fei"s first time using the Bloodscale Wisdomtail to control the Blood Crystal, and he realized that when the Blood Crystal began to fly, its power was much greater than before.
The Bloodscale Wisdomtail could be considered miraculous. Not only could it allow the Blood Crystal to fly far away from Xia Fei, he could even feel that the dagger was in his hand. It moved quickly, the control was flexible, and the attack range was practically endless!
If Xia Fei could set his sights on something, then the Blood Crystal could attack it!
"Hing~"
Little Goldie panicked, as numerous Dark lifeforms were crawling on its back and biting it. The demon chrysalis had a ma.s.sive body, and these Dark lifeforms were like ants crawling all over it. Although they could not hurt Little Goldie, their constant gnawing left Little Goldie extremely frustrated.
After all, it was only a child barely two months old. Little Goldie lacked Xia Fei"s composure and coolheadedness. It shook its body in an attempt to throw the enemies off; alas, the effect was minimal.
*Rumble!*
Xia Fei suddenly accelerated, instantly getting onto Little Goldie"s back and using Peac.o.c.k Blue to wipe out all these foes!
The Blood Crystal was the vanguard, taking the front, while Xia Fei and Peac.o.c.k Blue were the street sweepers, removing any force left behind!
These Dark lifeforms were clearly no match for Xia Fei. The most they could do was annoy Little Goldie. The over thirty thousand Dark lifeforms were soon wiped out, allowing Little Goldie to breathe in relief.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. Furball and the mysterious light had gone off in two completely different directions. If Xia Fei wanted to find Furball, he would have to give up on the pursuit of the golden light! What should he do?!
Gritting his teeth, Xia Fei decided to go and find Furball. No matter what that mysterious light was, it could not compare to Furball, for Furball was not just Xia Fei"s personal exotic beast. He was also his friend!
Never abandon and never give up! The Skywing Clan"s creed was branded deeply into Xia Fei"s mind!
Suddenly—
Just as Xia Fei was about to turn around and accelerate, ma.s.sive ripples pulsed through the fabric of s.p.a.ce, sweeping through the river of stars, and then a mournful howl could be heard!
The river of stars was thrown into turmoil, and then it shattered!
*Whoosh whoosh whoos.h.!.+*
Three figures suddenly emerged, completely surrounding Xia Fei!
Xia Fei looked at these foes and found them to be three earthworm-like monsters. Although they were not as big as the giant toad that Xia Fei had seen before, their dense-scale armor and the dark red horn on the heads at each end of their body indicated that these were three Dark lifeforms of rather high rank.
Each end of their long bodies had a head with saw-like teeth!
It appeared that they had not expected to run into Xia Fei here. The three strange earthworms froze for a moment, and then they rushed forward with a grunt!
Their bodies bent into U-shapes, their heads taking the fore, their mouths opening as if they were readying some powerful long-range attack!
"Dodge!"
Xia Fei predicted that something would come out of their mouths, so he shouted and pushed Little Goldie with all his strength.
Little Goldie was young but not stupid. It knew that Xia Fei was worried that the enemy attack would be harmful and he wanted it to create some distance, so it hastily rushed forward. With this single evasive maneuver, it traveled several hundred kilometers.
*Whoosh~*
As Little Goldie dodged, the enemy attack arrived!
Six black b.a.l.l.s of energy like giant planets appeared. When they were still very far away from Xia Fei and Little Goldie, they suddenly constricted as if they had been flattened!
A second later, the six b.a.l.l.s of energy exploded!
*Rumble!*
Innumerable smaller black b.a.l.l.s erupted from the explosion, each with a diameter of five meters, shooting off in every direction!
Xia Fei"s first reaction was not to retreat but to charge forward, instead!
It was clear that these black energy b.a.l.l.s were the same as the corrosive attacks of the giant toad. If Xia Fei fell back and allowed the explosion to expand endlessly, they would eventually injure Little Goldie behind him! Little Goldie"s body was just too big, and it would find it too difficult to avoid such a wide-area attack!
Xia Fei"s only option was to get close enough so he could stop part of the explosion, creating a fan-shaped area big enough for Little Goldie to avoid the attack!
*Bang!*
Peac.o.c.k Blue completely unfurled! It became like a giant green umbrella, covered with countless white flowers and as flat as a mirror!
*Rumble!*
It was an explosion that shook the very cosmos, the black energy b.a.l.l.s battering Peac.o.c.k Blue in a deluge. Xia Fei used all of his power to hold out bitterly against this furious salvo! Gritting his teeth, he put all his strength into his arms as he held up the Peac.o.c.k Blue s.h.i.+eld while using his body as a supporting pillar!
One second! Two seconds! Three seconds!
Xia Fei continued to hold on, as did Peac.o.c.k Blue!
After integrating with the Unparting Pine, Peac.o.c.k Blue was almost invincible! Its toughness had reached an absurd level!
Even though those dark b.a.l.l.s had an extremely powerful corrosive power, it was still impossible to break through Peac.o.c.k Blue"s defenses!
*Whoosh~*
The Blood Crystal sinisterly drew a curve through s.p.a.ce as it approached the three Dark lifeforms from an angle.
The red light suddenly accelerated, becoming a lightning bolt that stabbed into their flanks!
The Blood Crystal was not very large, and in the universe, it was like a needle in the ocean, but this needle could devour all life in the sea!
That Dark lifeform on the side clearly did not notice the Blood Crystal suddenly accelerating, so the Blood Crystal was able to stab right into its body!
*Plus.h.!.+*
Its life was rapidly drained, the earthworm-like monster began to shrivel. Its body had started the size of a half a moon, but in the blink of an eye, it had shrunk to less than half of that!
*Rumble!*
The Dark lifeform squealed, and its body split apart!
This was not just a body dividing into two but rather into millions of pieces! Like dust scattered in the air, it formed a fog in the middle of s.p.a.ce!
In this way, the Blood Crystal had nowhere to go. After all, it was just one knife. It could not possible deal with hundreds of millions of enemies!
It was not just this heavily injured Dark lifeform that did this; the other two divided their bodies out of caution. Once they had divided, they swiftly merged together and became like a tornado, circling around Xia Fei and Little Goldie. They were like a school of sardines, and when the little sardines came together, they could truly form a creature of mammoth proportions.
However, a school of sardines would only consist of tens of millions of fish, but these three Dark lifeforms had divided into billions of fis.h.!.+
"Oh, no! These Dark lifeforms can divide themselves! You can only deal with this many enemies by using a wide-area attack!" Radix said in shock.
Xia Fei knew that law attacks were very ineffective against Dark lifeforms. While the Blood Crystal and Peac.o.c.k Blue would work, how could they deal with so many enemies at once?
Fortunately, after dividing themselves, the Dark lifeforms had seemingly lost the ability to attack in return for the ability to survive, but Xia Fei was still very worried. Rather than being watched by enemies he could not kill, it would be much better to fight!
The Dark lifeforms were very cunning. They seemingly knew that their monoforms were no match for Xia Fei, so they had decided to split up into giant schools of fish. While swimming around, they would seek a chance to come back together and beat down Xia Fei before splitting up again.
Xia Fei was forced into a rather pa.s.sive position. Things would be better if he had Furball, for his wide-area energy attacks could destroy tens of thousands of these lifeforms with a single blow!
Xia Fei furrowed his brows and began to fall back while protecting Little Goldie. Little Goldie used its two eyes to shoot golden flames in an attempt to destroy the enemy pack; alas, these Dark lifeforms did not fear this kind of attack. Little Goldie"s seemingly fierce offensive did barely anything at all.
Suddenly—
Xia Fei stopped and solemnly look to his right. "Not good! Another enemy!"
The three demon stingers appeared, flapping their short wings.
Xia Fei was stunned, as were the three Dark lifeforms. What were these three beings?
The eyes would become particularly red upon meeting enemies. The three demon stingers had not only inherited the Ten Thousand Buddha Radiance"s power but also its endless loathing for Xia Fei! Having taken Xia Fei for their mortal foe, they would never rest until he was dead!
"Hing~"
The three demon stingers ignored the sinister Dark lifeforms and charged right at Xia Fei!
The demon stingers did not seem to care about these Dark lifeforms; all they wanted were the lives of Xia Fei and Little Goldie!
In this way, Xia Fei and Little Goldie were being attacked from two sides!
His eyes radiating cold light, Xia Fei flourished Peac.o.c.k Blue and the Blood Crystal as he prepared to fight!
The Dark lifeforms watching from the distance would not let such a good opportunity pa.s.s. They swiftly came together, forming five of those strange monsters!
Each of these three Dark lifeforms had two heads, and it turned out that the Blood Crystal had only killed one of them. The Dark lifeforms still had five heads!
*Bang!*
Just like before, the Dark lifeforms unleashed energy b.a.l.l.s that could not hurt Xia Fei but were lethal to Little Goldie.
Xia Fei was startled and hastily turned around to block the attack with Peac.o.c.k Blue! At this moment, the three demon stingers crazily lunged forward!
"Behind you!" Radix urgently called.
*Whoosh~*
Little Goldie suddenly charged forward, going into battle with the three demon stingers!
The demon chrysalis faced these three demon stingers alone, while Xia Fei faced the three Dark lifeforms by himself!
