Chapter 780: The mask that devours Law Overlords!
Xu Ming intended to buy out that bronze mongoose mask? Xia Fei was rather taken aback. To tell the truth, he found this mask very strange and was rather interested in it.
However, just because he was interested did not mean that he wanted to take it. The mask made Xia Fei extremely uneasy, provoking a sense of resistance from him.
Keenan was in an awkward spot. He had chattered about getting Xia Fei a gift, but the mask, the only thing Xia Fei had shown interest in, had been taken by someone else. What was there to say?
Scratching his head, Keenan opened his mouth and was about to speak, but Xia Fei stopped him. Xia Fei had a very grave expression as he stared at Xu Ming’s party. Keenan thought that Xia Fei was angry, and when he recalled the unreasonable nature of the Skywings, he could not help but s.h.i.+ver. After all, he was the one to lead Xia Fei to the illegal trade fair. If Xia Fei really went mad and started killing, would he not be in awful trouble?
A buyout was not the same as bidding. As long as one paid the money, one could take the item.
Xu Ming swiped and settled the bill; upon which, a member of the Galerain Society handed over the bronze mongoose mask. Xu Ming weighed the mask in his hands and carefully examined it.
Xia Fei suddenly felt extremely uneasy, his heartbeat accelerating and that sense of resistance increasing! There was no stopping it!
‘It’s coming! It’s coming!’ Xia Fei mentally cried out. Though he did not know what made him feel so threatened and afraid, there was no stopping the trembling of his heart!
Xu Ming was completely unaware of Xia Fei’s weird gaze. He was happy as he looked at the mask, and after some thought, he prepared to put the mask into his spatial ring.
Halfway to doing this, Xu Ming stopped and then he put the mask on his face as if to try it out.
No one was paying attention to this normal scene, only Xia Fei! He used his ocular cognition to keep a close eye on Xu Ming!
He could clearly see an indescribable impulse flas.h.i.+ng in Xu Ming’s eyes when he picked up the mask, just like two black flames igniting in his eyes! Fiercer and fiercer! Hotter and hotter!
This mask presented a fatal allure to him! After considering it for some time, he still decided to try on the mask.
‘No!’ Xia Fei unconsciously blurted out, his breathing almost stopping and his heart thumping as if he had gone insane! His eyes suddenly flashed with killing intent!
Xia Fei had no idea why he was so nervous about Xu Ming trying on the mask! He was just truly so nervous that he felt like he would explode any time!
The sensory abilities of warriors were just that unreasonable. Like the mystical sixth sense, they could predict danger. Xia Fei undoubtedly possessed incredible sensory abilities. Everyone was still immersed in the excitement of the auction, bidding back and forth. Only Xia Fei had predicted danger, extreme danger!
“Ocular cognition!”
When the bronze mongoose mask was just twenty centimeters from Xu Ming’s face, Xia Fei unleashed his strongest ocular cognition in front of everyone, not caring for the consequences!
*Whoos.h.!.+*
His eyes erupted with light!
A second later, Xia Fei beheld a terrifying sight!
Black energy! The bronze mongoose mask was thickly enveloped by black energy! As it approached Xu Ming’s face, the black energy seemed to have a mind of its own and pushed Xu Ming’s face in! Pushed his face into the mask!
No one understood how this could happen. Only Xia Fei could tell that this was because that mask had lured Xu Ming in at that very moment!
As a Law Overlord, Xu Ming was incredibly perceptive. At the final moment, he desperately tried to break free of this attraction, but it was too late!
*Pa!*
There was a heavy thump, and the bronze mongoose mask became like a devil! It stubbornly attached itself to Xu Ming’s face!
Blood! Blood instantly began to flow down Xu Ming’s face!
This blood was all sucked up by the bronze mongoose mask!
“Awoooo!”
Xu Ming let out a heart-rending howl, and everyone looked over in shock, wondering what was happening.
‘There’s no time!’ Xia Fei mentally called.
*Whoosh~*
The Speed Law unique to the Skywing Clan activated! Xia Fei charged out at a speed of 240,000 meters per second!
In the span of 0.01 second, Xia Fei took Keenan, Clean Blade, and Ellen to a corner. As Ellen’s combat armor was sufficiently resistant to high speeds, several parts were torn open, revealing the fair white flesh beneath. This was just how fast Xia Fei’s instantaneous speed was!
“Get out of here now! Take this woman!” Xia Fei was so agitated that his eyes were streaked with blood, and he spoke in a voice that would accept no objections.
Clean Blade was familiar with Xia Fei and knew that this madman had a formidable ability to a.s.sess the situation. After a moment of shock, he nodded. His brows furrowed, for he could already tell that anything that made Xia Fei so nervous would not be easy to deal with!
While Keenan was confused, he did not dare to defy Xia Fei’s orders, for backing Xia Fei was the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade, the sharpest blade in the Law Realm!
Moreover, Xia Fei’s powerful aura, which took no objection, caused him to submit to Xia Fei unconsciously. It seemed that if Xia Fei got serious, no one would be able to refuse his order. This seemed to be an aura that Xia Fei had been born with.
Keenan dubiously nodded, indicating that he had submitted.
However, Ellen was howling like a maddened beast. Xia Fei knew that she was possessed, that the ingredients of the drug she had taken made her mind abnormal.
*Bang!*
Xia Fei had a solution for this. He punched Ellen’s head, though it seemed that there was a little too much force, for Ellen spat out two b.l.o.o.d.y teeth; after which, she fell unconscious.
Keenan and Clean Blade were speechless. Punching without a second thought, did Xia Fei have no appreciation for beauty?
“Go!” Xia Fei roared again, the veins on his forehead bulging.
The third executive of the Grandcloud a.s.sociation did not dare to ask a question. With a wave of his hand, he opened his spatial compa.s.s and immediately left with his subordinates, not even caring that the underworld trade fair did not permit the activation of spatial compa.s.ses. In his view, Madman Xia Fei was much more frightening than the rules of the underworld.
The wars.h.i.+p was already in complete chaos, so the departure of Clean Blade’s crew created few ripples. Everyone was stunned and intimidated by Cult Leader Xu Ming’s sudden insanity.
This resounding howl caused even these murderous and bloodthirsty men of the underworld to s.h.i.+ver in fear. It did not sound like the voice of any sapient being but like the howl of a dying beast, instead!
“Breath Control!
“Crafty Approach!”
Xia Fei silently entered the Breath Control state and then used Crafty Approach to move into an out-of-the-way corner, just like an experienced hunter observing his prey.
Xu Ming was still howling, his hands desperately scratching at the mask on his face, but the mask was so firm that it was not in his power to even budge it. This bizarre mask did not seem to be just attached to his face but it was more like it had grown on it! His fingernails broke from his prying, yet the bronze mask had not moved a centimeter!
“Sir… what’s wrong?” Xu Ming’s close aide, Xu Yuan, came over and shook his senior brother.
*Plus.h.!.+*
Blood rained down!
Xu Ming was insensible, his hands like a hawk’s talons! He tore his junior in half!
Xu Yuan was a Great Law Emperor! His body was as tough as steel, and only an outrageous tearing force could tear this elite warrior apart!
Shock!
Extreme shock!
Everyone stared in disbelief as a gruesome rain descended!
*Rumble!*
Xu Ming spread apart his arms, a majestic spatial fissure instantly sundering the sky!
The wars.h.i.+p had an extremely tough transparent dome, but with one strike, Xu Ming tore apart this barrier! Even the energy barrier around the wars.h.i.+p was blasted into pieces!
No one was ready for this!
Within one second, everyone was tossed into s.p.a.ce!
At the same time, green fur began to grow from the back of Xu Ming’s head, turning him into a green-furred monster!
His muscles bulged! His body rose from a height of 1.8 meters to nearly three meters! The power of his muscles made them burst through his armor! His naked body proudly stood amid the universe!
Those who lacked sufficiently high-ranking combat armor died on the spot, and those without armor that could keep them alive in s.p.a.ce also died! Twenty thousand warriors of the underworld had gathered here, and at least five thousand had died! All this had happened in less than a second!
Xia Fei’s body was completely sealed in Monohorn Ogre. Using Breath Control, he swiftly disappeared into the darkness of s.p.a.ce. No matter what kind of monster Xu Ming had become, there was no harm in being cautious.
That bronze mongoose mask was still rapidly growing, beginning to sink into Xu Ming’s head as if it wanted to consume him completely!
The still living warriors glared at Xu Ming with seething fury.
Suddenly, the green-furred Xu Ming began to move!
He started with the nearest surviving warriors around him, using the most primitive of methods to tear them apart!
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen warriors had been ripped apart by the barehanded Xu Ming. Everyone suddenly realized that this monster represented a lethal threat!
*Zaaa!*
Someone unleashed a spatial slas.h.!.+ Xu Ming made no attempt to dodge and took the blow head-on!
The white light shattered! Xu Ming was completely unharmed!
“Owooooo!”
Xu Ming once more let out a b.e.s.t.i.a.l howl! He charged at the crowd floating in s.p.a.ce!
Once the slaughter began, it was difficult to stop. Xia Fei hid himself on a fragment of the s.h.i.+p and coldly watched.
“That strange mask must have enhanced Xu Ming’s body, making his body so tough that it could resist a meteor shower!” Oro said in shock. “What is that mask? It’s so powerful! It managed to devour a Law Overlord!”
Xia Fei nodded. “I felt fear the moment I saw that mask, which was very rare. It’s as if the mask had a life of its own, able to tempt people.”
Oro replied, “That can’t be. This mask pa.s.sed through the hands of more than one person, so why were they unharmed while Xu Ming went crazy?”
Xia Fei replied, “Perhaps this mask only works on certain people.”
Over the next few minutes, Xia Fei bore witness to a one-sided ma.s.sacre, and Xu Ming was the one carrying out this ma.s.sacre!
No one was able to hold out against the frenzied Xu Ming. He was a Law Overlord, and now he was bolstered by the bronze mongoose mask. Xu Ming had become their worst nightmare!
“Let’s retreat! This fellow is very difficult to deal with!” Oro sternly said.
Xia Fei was unmoved. He took Furball and patted him on the hand, firmly saying, “Retreat? Fortune is found within danger. I’m taking the Law of Time in Xu Ming’s possession!”
