Chapter 841: The Consequences of Giving Up
Super Law Overlord Secluded Hunt was on the verge of vomiting blood!
This was truly a case of poking where it hurt the most; Xia Fei clearly knew that the people of Secluded Springs would be most mindful of the Ark fragment’s safety, yet that was precisely where Xia Fei had directed his attack to!
The Ark fragment was the very root of the Secluded Springs, and any harm it may sustain could affect every single inhabitant of the place. There was no way Secluded Hunt could just watch Xia Fei attack the planet of vegetation and do nothing about it. Helpless, he could only give up his original plan of catching Xia Fei in a pincer maneuver and defend against the latter’s attacks, instead.
*Rumble*
Another fearsome spatial fissure had appeared! Xia Fei was not just playing with his prey right now; he was enjoying himself while doing it, too!
One moment it was from above, the next it was from below. Occasionally, it would be on the left or on the right. Xia Fei’s completely irregular attacks ended up testing Secluded Hunt’s ability to catch all!
“Crafty fellow!
“You’re far too treacherous!”
Secluded Hunt cursed away at Xia Fei as he sweated profusely. Too bad that Xia Fei had turned deaf to his words, and though he could hear them, he simply took everything as a form of compliment.
Indeed, a true warrior needed not only to be resolute when fighting enemies but also able to utilize their enemy’s weaknesses and deal a fatal blow accordingly!
Crafty?
Xia Fei would have long been dead if he had not been crafty enough! How could he even still be alive to this day?!
Secluded Hunt was not just facing the most insane madman of the Skywing Clan but also the most ferocious lone wolf, Xia Fei!
This young man was not one to let his enemy have a moment of reprieve, and this was an unchanging principle of Xia Fei wherever he went!
Xia Fei enjoyed slaying his opponents in close combat. After all, the devouring capabilities of the Blood Crystal was heaven-defying, allowing Xia Fei to absorb a warrior’s energy after killing them. He was never in the habit of wasting a chance; Xia Fei would hardly let an enemy go no matter how weak they were.
Xia Fei’s skyrocketing of strength was all due to the morbid plundering of energy that he practiced, and he was using this almost frenzied method today against this enemy, Secluded Hunt! Oro had once taught Xia Fei over a hundred Law of s.p.a.ce martial arts techniques. Xia Fei hardly used any of these moves regularly, but this did not mean that Xia Fei had not mastered all of them!
*Kaboom*
This became akin to a performance of Law of s.p.a.ce martial arts techniques, and the ranged techniques that he rarely used were all brought out to the stage. The s.p.a.ce turned into a dazzling sight; both Super Law Overlord Secluded Hunt and Law Sage Secludeless were nearly blinded by it!
What sort of warrior could even master over a hundred different martial arts techniques?
Secluded Hunt and Secludeless could never have imagined that Xia Fei was someone who had achieved such a feat!
His enemies’ pain brought him the greatest delight. Xia Fei continued to advance at high speeds as he kept up his law attacks, forcing the distinguished Superior Law Overlord to get his face dirtied as he scrambled about!
Moving at such great speeds, Xia Fei would soon enter the planet of vegetation in just another minute; in fact, he could already see this legendary fragment of the Ark with his two eyes!
Oro shook his head incessantly as he watched everything unfold. While it seemed like Xia Fei was in control of the pace of the battle, he was actually taking a huge risk. Given how much Secluded Hunt and Secludeless valued this planet of vegetation, even taking injuries upon themselves rather than let any of Xia Fei’s attacks go through, the planet was clearly unstable and was hiding many dangers within!
If Secluded Hunt failed to block Xia Fei, causing the planet to be attacked, an unimaginable catastrophe just might occur!
Given Xia Fei’s thinking ability, there was no way he had not considered the worst-case scenario of dying here as a result of his reckless actions, yet he still continued to rain down mad attacks on the planet. This was what it meant to have guts!
Any opportunity always came with a risk; Xia Fei often found chances when he was forced into desperate situations, and it was precisely because he was brave enough that his enemies felt fear, making them all fl.u.s.tered and frantic!
Suddenly—
Waves stirred in the calm!
Almost at the same time, three experts at the Law Emperor appeared in front of Xia Fei through the use of an instantaneous movement technique of the Law of s.p.a.ce!
Xia Fei was a difficult opponent, extremely cunning and absolutely unreasonable!
As such, Law Sage Secludeless had enacted an emergency mobilization of all the experts that cultivated the Law of s.p.a.ce in the Secluded Springs! It was unfortunate that Secluded Springs was a place dominated by the Demon Race, so only a few warriors cultivated the Law of s.p.a.ce, and even fewer had the qualifications to appear before Xia Fei!
Xia Fei’s two eyes grew cold as a fiendish aura enveloped his body!
In the blink of an eye, his enemies had increased to four; this also meant that Xia Fei needed to ramp up his attacks!
*Boom*
His two hands became similar to the legendary shadowless hands, and the number of law attacks Xia Fei threw out abruptly increased by several fold! He was using his actions to tell everyone that even though they held the numerical superiority and he was alone, as long as his method worked, it would still leave them begging for mercy!
On one side were the Law Emperors who had come forth to lend a hand, suppressing Xia Fei with their Law of s.p.a.ce; on another side was Xia Fei who was rapidly closing in on his enemies!
The franticness of his enemies meant a chance for Xia Fei!
*Whoosh*
Xia Fei swiftly sprinted past a Law Emperor, but he did not make any move.
This Law Emperor was just thanking his lucky stars for escaping a potentially fatal attack when he discovered that a bluegra.s.s blade had already wrapped him up well before he even realized what was happening!
Peac.o.c.k Blue used a burst of strength pulled this person to Xia fei’s side as its sharp white flowers proceeded to rend the Law Emperor into shreds!
*Squelch*
The Blood Crystal was plunged into his body, and blood essence was ravenously drained, to be enjoyed between Xia Fei and his bloodthirsty dagger!
In just a second, that Law Emperor who had come to a.s.sist in the defense of the Ark fragment was turned into a desiccated corpse!
It could not be helped. The difference between fighting with reservations and the decisiveness that Xia Fei demonstrated in battle was heaven and earth. The instruction these warriors got was to protect the Ark fragment, and no matter where Xia Fei struck, these warriors would all have to block Xia Fei’s attacks accordingly!
Xia Fei had very cleverly used their pa.s.siveness to his advantage, aiming the direction of his attacks to right in front of him, so these warriors would be left with no choice but to grit their teeth and fill the gaps right in front of Xia Fei, which subsequently allowed him to utilize his superspeed to its maximum effect.
Get close and a.s.sa.s.sinate!
It was simple and effective, and in a short time, Xia Fei easily dispatched the other Law Emperors!
Three Law Emperors had all been eliminated in under fifteen seconds, each and every one increasing the energy reserves in Xia Fei’s seventh brain region!
These reinforcement not only failed to stop Xia Fei but ended up adding to the energy acc.u.mulation in Xia Fei’s brain region, too!
“*Roar*!”
Law Sage Secludeless let out an enraged bellow; even Superior Law Overlord Secluded Hunt turned pale! This was because Xia Fei had handily dealt with the reinforcement he called over and had now turned his attention toward him!
“Be careful! Secluded Hunt uses Spatial Fracture!” Oro warned.
With Xia Fei’s speed, he looked like he would be charging at the planet where the Ark fragment was hidden over the next few seconds. Oro felt that Xia Fei should not take the risk at this crucial juncture, since he would be safe once he made it inside. Given their cautiousness, Oro doubted that they would fight when they reached that planet of vegetation.
However, Xia Fei had thought about this matter in greater detail than the old demon lord. He knew he could not stay inside forever; since he would still have to leave, taking out Secluded Hunt and his spatial instantaneous movement technique became an imperative!
Even if he had to stake his life on the line, he would take out Secluded Hunt!
*Kaboom~*
His crazed attacks were relentless!
Each wave was even denser and more intense than the last!
Xia Fei was determined to eliminate Secluded Hunt! He did not care even if he ended up blasting the very foundation of Secluded Springs!
“You’re insane!” Oro and Secluded Hunt shouted at the same time!
Such reckless and desperate law attacks had already surpa.s.sed the limit that Secluded Hunt could bear!
The moment he could not withstand the severe attacks and let one of the spatial tears get past him, it would end up becoming an attack that made its way right into the planet of plants!
A radical approach was needed when dealing with extreme enemies!
Xia Fei’s gaze, of course, did not have half an iota of hesitation. He actually ignored Oro’s dissuasions and continued unleas.h.i.+ng attacks!
*Boom*
Finally—
A tornado of Law attack whipped past Secluded Hunt. Oro could clearly tell that it was the Golden Sand Dance, one of Xia Fei’s most powerful martial arts techniques and an attack with a large AoE!
If that planet of plants was stricken by the Golden Sand Dance, he had no doubt of the great tragedy that would unfold!
Given the mastery Xia Fei had of the technique, this small planet, which had a diameter of ten thousand miles, would surely be subjected to a heavy a.s.sault! That was because a trace of the Law of Primal Chaos had been mixed in it!
Oro had no clue what the Law of Primal Chaos was, but he knew that it was a strange law, which had the power to subvert everything!
“It’s over! Everything is over!” Oro wailed loudly, his face paling.
It was not hard to imagine from how hard Secluded Hunt and Secludeless had tried to protect this planet that it was both a very important and also unstable existence. Otherwise, they would not have so desperately done their best to stop all of Xia Fei’s attacks like that.
A drop of cold sweat trickled down Secluded Hunt’s face. He was looking extremely pale, turning stiff all over at that moment!
“Chance!”
Xia Fei had been waiting for such a moment!
The more an enemy wanted to protect something, the more Xia Fei wanted to destroy it!
Secluded Hunt was indubitably powerful, so had he not lost focus that one moment, Xia Fei would probably never have gotten a chance to deal with him!
A strange smirk curled as Xia Fei suddenly accelerated!
Far away, Secludeless tore at his hair with his two hands. He was on the verge of mental collapse as he stared as that distressing law attack made its way to the planet!
“Everyone’s going to die!” Secluded Hunt moaned with sorrow, an extremely sh.e.l.l-shocked expression on his face.
At this point, the man no longer cared whether he would be attacked or even killed. That was because he was well-aware that the entire Secluded Springs would be devastated the moment Xia Fei’s attack struck that planet of plants. No one would be left alive!
*Boom boom boom*
Secluded Hunt gave up any intention of blocking Xia Fei’s attack and allowed the latter’s spatial tears to wreak havoc across his body. Peac.o.c.k Blue was right after this attack, its slender yet powerful gra.s.s blades enveloping Secluded Hunt. Xia Fei dashed over immediately, driving the Blood Crystal right into his opponent’s throat!
Xia Fei’s smile widened. Too bad that Secluded Hunt could no longer see the scene after, or else he would crawl out from the depths of h.e.l.l just to throw everything he got at Xia Fei!
Just as Xia Fei’s Golden Sand Dance arrived at the boundary of the planet of plants, the attack suddenly did an abnormal curve, like a hurricane spinning at high speed, and barely missed the periphery of that planet!
Secludeless was stunned!
Even Oro was stunned!
It turned out that this had all been part of Xia Fei’s calculations!
His goal had been to obliterate Secluded Hunt’s faith, causing him to lose all hope to live!
Oro had told Xia Fei countless times that the ultimate goal of law warriors was not to unleash the most powerful attack but to control it fully! It was the use of their bodies to control law, such that they could be part of it!
Xia Fei had never forgotten about this teaching!
When Xia Fei unleashed his Golden Sand Dance, he factored his control of it. He knew very well that this attack would turn from travelling in a straight path to an oblique path at the last second.
All his attacks before were real, but this one attack had been false!
However, it was this feint of his that tricked Oro and what eventually killed the Super Law Overlord Secluded Hunt!
A true warrior would never give up their hope of survival until the very last second!
Xia Fei understood this logic very well, but the same could not be said for Secluded Hunt.
He had chosen to give up at that moment, which was why he ended up dead!
