Chapter 814: Coda and Sudden Development
Xia Fei had not imagined that Law Overlord Modo would have the rare ability to cut off laws!
The Law of Vestigial Blood Devouring was wondrous, not only because it could absorb the energy of others but also because it could instantly sever their connection with that energy. The Law Realm was established upon energy, and a law warrior without energy would be unable to move their body; even walking would become a strenuous activity. No matter how great their abilities, they would be unable to use them!
The situation was grim. Modo suddenly accelerated, charging toward the main battlefield. The moment he joined the battle and used this sinister law force on the Skywing wolfpack, the Skywings would fall apart!
Xia Fei had to stop him no matter the cost!
This was his duty as the lone wolf of the Skywings!
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei strode forward, making a beautiful arc as he pushed his speed to the limit, his per-second speed nearing two hundred sixty thousand meters!
*Bang!*
Moving like a flash of lightning, Xia Fei held the Blood Crystal and shot out!
Extraordinary enemies naturally required extraordinary methods! This was the first time Xia Fei had encountered such a bizarre law power. It was somewhat like his Blood Crystal, able to devour and destroy opponents. Xia Fei had no confidence in dealing with such a foe, but his unconventional mindset and nimble thinking had instantly allowed him to come up with an idea. He did not know if it would be effective, but he was willing to try!
He would throw himself right at him!
Using his lightning-fast speed, he would turn his body into a weapon and charge straight into Modo!
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei really started flying like a cannonball! His left hand held out the Blood Crystal in front of him, while Peac.o.c.k Blue wildly flailed on his right arm like a frenzied octopus!
It was a horrifying sight at an alarming speed!
Modo frowned. Forming his hands in a cross, he made a strange seal in front of his chest.
“Law of Matter! Thousand Aggregate!”
*Rumble!*
St.u.r.dy stone pillars suddenly rose out of the ground, containing Modo in the center like a large-scale formation.
*Rumble!*
Xia Fei made no attempt to dodge, gritting his teeth and using his own body to batter through the stone pillars.
*Boom boom boom!*
Debris exploded in the air!
“Law of Vestigial Blood Devouring!”
*Whoos.h.!.+*
A red beam of light engulfed Xia Fei, but Xia Fei made no attempt to dodge, charging straight through!
There was no going back. The wolfpack formation made up of his brothers depended on him. If Modo and his overpowered abilities were allowed to get close, disaster would descend!
He once more felt his body being emptied of energy, and the White Jade Swimming Dragon Ring once more revealed its worth!
Energy distribution could be compared to a person eating. Food eaten whole was not easy to digest, so people needed to chew the food before eating it. The White Jade Swimming Dragon performed exactly this function, dividing up Origin Energy before sending it into Xia Fei’s body. This allowed him to obtain the maximum amount of Origin Energy from a crystal.
This function was only one of the White Jade Swimming Dragon’s capabilities. For instance, when Xia Fei was having this enormous amount of energy being seized from him and needed this energy replenished as quickly as possible, the White Jade Swimming Dragon could increase the rate at which energy could be extracted! It could empty out the energy of a grade 5 Origin Crystal and send it all into Xia Fei’s body!
The feeling of exhaustion lasted for only the briefest of moment. The White Jade Swimming Dragon working at maximum speed was able to once more empower Xia Fei!
*Bang bang bang!*
As he busted through several dozen stone pillars, Xia Fei got closer and closer to Modo!
“Eh?!” Modo was astonished. He had never encountered a warrior who was able to keep going after having their energy depleted. Xia Fei’s resistance had him utterly dumbfounded!
Modo straightened up, his body becoming as tough as steel!
Matter Law users were unable to just modify their surroundings. They could also change the properties of their body! Modo was now incredibly tough!
*Rumble!*
Xia Fei and Modo crashed into each other, and then they both bounced away in the opposite direction!
*Thump thump thump!*
Modo flew backward, bas.h.i.+ng through several dozen stone pillars and flying a thousand meters before he came to a stop, and the same was true for Xia Fei!
Xia Fei had used the Law of Speed to accelerate, his body becoming like a bullet. Even if Modo drained him of energy halfway, his attack would not stop. Thus, no matter what Modo did, he would have had to take Xia Fei’s attack.
Unfortunately, Modo was a Law of Matter user, so he had excellent defenses. As Xia Fei had been drained of energy midway and had to push through the stone pillars, his speed and impact had decreased, leading the Blood Crystal to have much less of a penetrating power. It had failed to break through Modo’s defenses and stab into his body!
Equally matched!
Xia Fei immediately got up and once more shot off, accelerating again!
In truth, he had already succeeded!
Xia Fei’s attack had forced Modo back by a whole kilometer!
As long as he could not get close to the main battlefield, Xia Fei had completed his mission!
*Rumble!*
The same attack happened, the two of them smas.h.i.+ng into each like metal hammers, colliding and bouncing away again and again, neither side backing down!
…
“Bite! Bite and never let go!” Alpha Wolf Xia Buyun snarled.
Everyone could see Xia Fei’s efforts. It was clear that Xia Fei was doing everything in his power, and so what the Skywing wolves needed to do was bite the enemies to death with their inferior numbers! They could not let even one of the five Law Overlords on the main battlefield escape. Xia Fei was already having a hard time against Modo. If another Law Overlord joined the fray, he would be in mortal danger!
The balance needed to be maintained!
Not only could Xia Fei never allow Law Overlord Modo to go, the Skywing wolfpack could never let anyone from the main battlefield go free, too! They needed to be split up! This was the only path to victory!
*Pa!*
Another valuable grade 5 Origin Crystal was emptied, and Xia Fei tossed it to the ground. He did not even know how many he had already used up today. Every time he attacked, he needed to use one crystal to recharge, and such attacks happened at least thirty times a minute!
Modo panted for breath, the veins on his neck bulging. It seemed that absorbing Xia Fei’s energy was not easy, and his strength was dwindling rather than increasing.
“Ha! This fellow is reaching his breaking point! Energy that’s not one’s own is very difficult to control! Modo doesn’t have your heaven-defying control ability, so the more he absorbs, the greater the burden on his body!” cried Oro.
He had not expected for Xia Fei to be able to fight evenly for so long against such a formidable opponent. Truly, a good job needed sharp tools. If Xia Fei did not have the White Jade Swimming Dragon, this rare ring with the ability to distribute energy, he would have never been able to last this long.
It was a pity that Xia Fei still was unable to use his ultimate trump card. Losing and recovering energy was not a simple process, and Xia Fei found it very difficult to gather his energy at the moment of impact and use the Law of Primal Chaos. After all, while the Law of Primal Chaos was extremely powerful, it required a lot of energy.
Modo creased his brows. He saw Xia Fei throwing aside an empty Origin Crystal and taking three more out of his ring to hold in his hand tightly. He had always taken out only one before, but this time was different.
A crafty smirk flashed across Xia Fei’s face. Oro’s words had given him an idea.
He did not sprint forward or try to accelerate in at an angle. He seemingly became a different person, striding toward Modo, his Inner Demon emitting from his body! His gaze turning savage and wicked!
Modo was startled. He could not understand what Xia Fei was trying to do. His strategy just now had succeeded in stopping Modo, so why had he changed things?
“Seeking death!” Modo roared. He stretched out his arms and made a grabbing motion, red light once more flas.h.i.+ng!
There was no dodging this!
Xia Fei made no attempt to fend off Modo’s attack, allowing the Law of Vestigial Blood Devouring to strike him!
Xia Fei staggered, but he quickly raised his head and continued approaching Modo, his eyes red with savagery! There was no blocking out his Inner Demon!
Energy madly flowed out!
Xia Fei’s hands moved very quickly, constantly changing out Origin Crystals, at the same time releasing energy from the rainbow ball in his seventh brain region!
The two of them had formed an equilibrium! No matter how miraculous Modo’s Vestigial Blood Devouring Law was, it could not absorb the vast sea of energy in Xia Fei’s body.
Gradually, blood began to flow out of Modo’s nose, eyes, ears, and mouth!
This was truly strange. The person having his energy absorbed was unharmed, but the one doing the absorbing was on the verge of collapse!
Xia Fei smiled and continued releasing energy. Modo started to tremble. He was not Xia Fei and did not possess an absurd ability to control energy. Absorbed energy was a gourmet feast for Xia Fei, but it was suffering for Modo!
At the start, Xia Fei really had been afraid of the sensation of being completely emptied out, but Oro’s words had reminded him that Modo was absorbing an energy that was not his. While Modo was absorbing all this energy, he was actually in great pain!
Xia Fei had almost instantly realized that, since absorbing energy was painful for Modo, he could just add on to the pain!
The rainbow ball of energy in his seventh brain region contained many kinds of energy and would undoubtedly be able to put Modo in excruciating pain! As Xia Fei mindlessly released this energy, the side effects of greed began to emerge!
In a flash, Xia Fei was at Modo’s side. Modo’s mind was completely empty, almost unconscious. There was too much energy restlessly moving around his body and destroying his organs. He was about to explode!
*Plus.h.!.+*
The Blood Crystal was thrust between Modo’s eyes!
Whooaaa!
Not just the energy Modo had absorbed, even Modo’s own energy was now being devoured by Xia Fei!
“What’s mine is mine. What you take, you must give back!” Xia Fei sternly said.
…
The balance of victory had now irreversibly tipped. After Xia Fei singlehandedly killed the Law Overlord and fifteen Law Emperors of the Primordial Sect, he immediately returned to the wolfpack formation to continue his role as the lone wolf!
“Good news! Our grand ancestor has already finished the slaughter! The ones in front of us are our last enemies! Kill them! Kill them all” Xia Buyun called.
*Bzzz~*
Golcen Ward and Ulcen Ward immediately felt their heads swell. They had had no idea that the Skywing Clan was making its counterattack in both the G.o.d Race and the Law Realm! It was not just them who had to die, their clan members and even their grand ancestor had to die, too!
“Kill them! Kill them!” the wolves howled and picked up the pace of their offensive. The alliance’s morale was already at an all-time low, so there was no way it could hold out against the frenzied attack of the Skywings!
The Skywing wolves were very patient, picking away at the enemies’ will bit by bit, killing those who did not have their hearts in the battle.
The forces in the valley were soon surrounded by the wolves. Even the five Law Overlords led by Golcen Ward were surrounded and just barely hanging on.
His face grim, Xia Buyun raised a hand high in the air and prepared to issue the order for the general a.s.sault to wipe out the alliance’s five Law Overlords.
However, at this point, there was a new and sudden development!
The dazzling river of stars had dimmed without warning!
