Chapter 1299: Crus.h.i.+ng the Dragoons!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
*Whoosh~*
A human figure staggered out of the Cosmic Gate. He was Hu Lianheng, the Dark Spiritualist most skilled in stealthy movement arts, a level 8 Dark Spiritualist!
Although Hu Lianheng had managed to make it out of Xia Fei’s Fiend Array, it had come at a bitter price. He appeared weak and utterly exhausted.
Xia Fei’s Fiend Array possessed enormous momentum!
The one million array cores had created a superstorm, which just kept getting faster and faster. Hu Lianheng was like a traveler who had just escaped from a sandstorm. He did not even dare to think about the terrifying scenes within the Cosmic Gate!
!!
*Thump!*
His legs became weak, and he dropped to the ground.
Hu Lianheng felt lucky to have escaped that bizarre soul array.
*Bang!*
Suddenly, countless red points of light illuminated his body!
These were the targeting systems of the t.i.tans. Thousands of their destructive weapons were all aiming at him!
“Only one?!” exclaimed Oro fiendishly.
Xia Fei said some of the higher leveledDark Spiritualists, or those with special abilities, might be able to escape the soul array, but Oro and the others had been waiting for ages and only spotted one person coming out alive so far.
Thousands of t.i.tans and millions of Law Realm warriors!
How could they split up a single enemy?
“Kill him!”
“Taste our might!”
*Rumble!*
Millions of warriors rushed up in a great flood!
Hu Lianheng’s eyes widened in fear, his entire body trembling.
He had barely escaped from h.e.l.l, only to find that something even more terrifying was awaiting him outside!
*Plush plus.h.!.+*
It was often said that two fists found it hard to go up against four hands; what more if there were a million pairs of hands?!
With one stab per person, the level 8 Dark Spiritualist Hu Lianheng was sliced into paste!
Dead as dead could be!
“Another one’s coming out! Brothers, go!” Oro was glaring when he spoke resentfully. “Starting from here, we’ll lay on the enemy while they’re down!”
…
The part of the Cosmic Gate closer to the Law Realm was a h.e.l.l within h.e.l.l!
At the same time, Xia Fei had brought the old monsters of Aurora and the strongest warriors of Skywing to a part of dark s.p.a.ce closer to the other end of the Cosmic Gate.
The Auroras and the Skywings were now tied at the hip. The moment they heard that the Skywings were in danger, they very smartly came to help.
This was a mutual understanding. If the Aurora Clan was the one in danger, the Skywing Clan and the Law Realm would naturally send their best to come to their aid.
Xia Fei waved his hand and gathered everyone together, saying sternly, ” We’ve killed the Dark Spiritualist army in the Cosmic Gate, and Nan Shazi has to know this. We’re currently facing two possibilities. The first is that they wager everything and try to activate their array as quickly as possible, so they’re still in the middle of activating their array, allowing our sneak attack to succeed.
“The second is that they have laid down a trap and are waiting for our sneak attack. The former is favorable to us while the latter means that we’ll be in for a tough battle. Still, no matter what, we have to go! In a little while, the Skywings will be the vanguard and the Auroras will be the rearguard. This is how we’re going to do things.”
Xia Fei’s words were very simple, but in truth, he had already thoroughly a.n.a.lyzed the situation!
This was Xia Fei! He had never fought an unprepared battle!
“Understood!”
“Let’s go!”
*Rumble!*
Little Goldie charged, savagely bas.h.i.+ng open the dark s.p.a.ce barrier!
The Skywing wolves rushed through the gap!
While they moved quickly, they were not undisciplined. This was the style of the Skywings!
Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng, as the two lone wolves of the wolfpack formation, took the lead. Once they were out, they immediately split up, the wolfpack formation howling out from behind them!
The twelve Devil Shadow Dragoons and Nan Shazi had formed a circle. Just like last time, they were preparing to activate the five hundred-core Six Cycles Array.
The Skywings split into three parties. Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng, who both held the flanks, rushed at the Devil Shadow Dragoon’s array!
Suddenly—
The circular array of thirteen Annihilators turned into a crescent. If the wolfpack formation charged, it would land right in the middle of that crescent.
Sure enough, this was an ambush intended to entrap the Skywings!
*Bang!*
However, the wolfpack formation simply did not stop, charging with all its might, right into the enemy trap, instead!
“You came at just the perfect time! Wipe them all out!” Yabu raised his arms and shouted this order. The thirteen Annihilators erupted into laughter, mocking the Skywings for their idiocy. These people only knew how to charge, not to retreat!
At this moment, the Skywing wolfpack formation suddenly broke apart!
Through the crack came a dazzling light, like numerous rainbows flying through s.p.a.ce, imbued with a terrifying might!
Aurora Horizon!
It was none other than the long-distance attack of the Aurora Clan’s old monsters!
*Rumble!*
A moment later, the Skywing wolfpack formation had busted through the Devil Shadow Dragoons’ encirclement!
The Devil Shadow Dragoons meant to surround the Skywings, but by doing so, it exposed their weak side. After all, at thirteen, they had much fewer numbers compared to the more than one hundred men of the joint Aurora-Skywing force!
Several dozen peak experts firing Aurora Horizon in unison was something that not even an Annihilator could defend against. Thus, the ones in the center of the array—Dallas, Tianku, and Di Hong—chose to fall back.
By falling back, the three of them caused the tactic to fail and for the Skywing wolves to be able to knock over the array!
They were like sharp arrows, piercing straight through!
*Plush plush plus.h.!.+*
The Skywing wolves were far too fast. After breaking out of the encirclement, they seemed to be hacking away at something. The Skywing wolves had instantly come together and killed one of their foes!
The Devil Shadow Dragoons hastily took a count and found that Dallas was missing!
It turned out that Dallas had failed to dodge in time and had been knocked out of the array by the wolf pack!
It did not matter that he was an Annihilator. The moment he left the array, he was just one man against over sixty Skywing wolves! The wolves had rushed in together, hacking to death the Devil Shadow Dragoons’ deputy!
Such vicious tactics!
A long-range attack, combined with close combat, broke the array and killed a foe in a split-second!
The remaining twelve Annihilators nervously came together. It had just been proven that anyone who was isolated, even an Annihilator, would be unable to stop the wolfpack formation!
“Cunning! Truly cunning!” Tianku howled in rage. Meanwhile, the others had managed to keep their composure.
“It’s a good tactic. Two people came in from the flanks, drawing our attention, while the main force used that chance to punch through the center, which seemed to be the strongest. Using the opportunity created by a long-range attack, they executed a lethal move,” Yabu muttered. The tactical prowess Xia Fei had shown made his eyes s.h.i.+ne.
Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng, who had not separated, attacked the flanks for no reason. On the contrary, they had drawn most of the attention to themselves. By attacking from all three sides and hiding a long-range attack in the center, they had succeeded in taking the enemy by surprise. Xia Fei had exhibited his profound might through his bizarre tactics!
Even the deputy of the Devil Shadow Dragoons had fallen for it!
“Unfortunately, a tactic can only be used once,” Yabu narrowed his eyes and said ruthlessly.
At this moment, both sides were clearly divided. The Skywings held the front, while the Auroras were in the rear, and across from them, the twelve Annihilators had a.s.sembled into a phalanx.
“Send them on their way!” Yabu said viciously.
The eleven remaining Dragoons all made the same move, gathering immense energy in their hands, as if each one of them were holding up a crescent moon!
That ‘crescent moon’ resembled a blade!
Xia Fei knew at once that this was a powerful offensive tactic the Devil Shadow Dragoons employed! Otherwise, there was no way each person would use the same move!
“There should’ve been thirteen s.h.i.+ning Moons, but there are only eleven now.” Yabu laughed wryly. “Still, this is enough to send you all to h.e.l.l!”
*Bang!*
As he spoke, the Devil Shadow Dragoons gathered more energy, and the moon-like objects in their hands began to rise till they reached an absurd height of several hundred meters! They were truly just like real moons!
The energy pulses were sending frightening energy storms into the sea of stars!
The attack had not even been made yet, and it was already creating such turmoil! This was the real power of an Annihilator!
Suddenly—
Two black silhouettes attacked the Dragoons from behind!
There was no energy, for it did not require energy!
The custodian slaves had always relied on their bodies!
Nan Shazi immediately saw this and came forward to battle with the two custodian slaves.
These slaves did not fear soul arts and engaged in close combat with Nan Shazi. It was not long before the number one Dark Spiritualist was on the backfoot.
However, the Devil Shadow Dragoons’ array was not broken, and they still presented an immense threat to Xia Fei’s side.
Suddenly—
Xia Fei smiled wickedly as he waved his hand.
*Whoosh~*
The wolfpack formation charged straight at the Devil Shadow Dragoons!
“You’re seeking death!” Yabu muttered mentally.
Just when he was about to unleash the s.h.i.+ning Moon, which was the pride of the Devil Shadow Dragoons, he felt a chill behind his back, as if a blade was approaching!
Another ambush?!
Yabu paled in shock!
The custodian slaves had been unexpected, but it was understandable. After all, Xia Fei had moved over Spirit Mountain, so the custodian slaves had naturally been nearby.
However, now that the Law Realm’s greatest force was a.s.sembled before him, where had this other expert come from to ambush him?
From the sound, the angle of the blade, and the speed, the ambusher was undoubtedly a master!
He had chosen to attack after the custodian slaves had intervened and the Skywing wolves had charged, the most ideal moment!
This moment was when the mental state of the Devil Shadow Dragoon was at its most disorderly! When their defenses were at their weakest!
*Bang!*
Yabu had to stop with the s.h.i.+ning Moon, as did all the other Dragoons. This sneak attack from behind was just that lethal!
*Rumble!*
Yabu turned and punched!
His fist struck the edge of the blade, and blood instantly burst from Yabu’s fist!
If even the strongest of them all had been hurt, the other Dragoons must be in an even worse state!
This was not even the worst part! The worst part was that they were being attacked from the front and the back!
The Devil Shadow Dragoons had just turned around to deal with the sneak attack when the frontal attack from the Skywing wolves arrived!
*Rumble!*
Xia Fei’s Fiend Lock was completely coated in energy, producing a dazzling sight, and had become a chain of death!
In the past, the Fiend Lock was as thin as a hair strand and could easily take the enemy by surprise, but after Fiend Tears had been applied, it had become very violent!
It would use energy to crush everything that stood in its path!
“Screw you!” Xia Gucheng swung his staff!
The Skywings and their Twin Ring Roars began to punch!
Furball and Little Goldie charged at the burliest one of the enemies, Tianku!
In the distance, the Aurora Clan prepared to use their only soul art and the most freakish one at that: Aurora Horizon!
There was no need to bring up the fiendish blade Nirvana and the Immemorial Mystical Armaments; they were hiding somewhere and just waiting to strike!
Yabu finally got a clear look at his ambushers. They were the Alpha Universe’s two Kings of Darkness, Lone Peak Shen and Turbid Shadow Lin, and their a.s.sa.s.sination group! They had more than a hundred men!
Long-range attacks! Close combat! Frontal attacks! a.s.sa.s.sination! Lone wolves! Mystical armaments—what a powerful force, indeed!
Crazy!
This was insane!
Xia Fei had gathered up a heaven-defying army! Was he planning on crus.h.i.+ng the Dragoons?!
