*Rumble!*

There was no stopping the battle of Spirit Mountain now that it had started, and this sudden appearance of the Lone Peak Turbid Shadow Organization had turned the tables!

It was actually not right to deem this as turning the tables. To be more precise, Xia Fei had had them in reserve the whole time, and right now just happened to be the time to clean things up!

Lone Peak Shen and Turbid Shadow Lin had not brought many people, only a dozen or so men, but these people were all experts, and they had been well-hidden right from the very start. Now, they were right in the middle of the Dark Spiritualist formation, their ambush far more effective than if they had been in a proper battle.

There was no need to ask about how Xia Fei had gotten the help of the most mysterious Lone Peak Turbid Shadow Organization of the Nineteen States of Windcloud; all they needed to do was attack! The outcome of this battle had already been decided!

The first to win was Furball. He had been battling against the Lonegleam Eagle for some time. Holy Beasts were very proud, and they did not allow anyone to intervene in their battles. Even when Xia Fei wanted to help, Furball would roar and reject it.

Furball was no longer a cub. He was an adult, and his pride was only getting worse. Even though he was facing the Lonegleam Eagle, which was a whole level above him and was a Holy Beast known for its savagery, he did not give an inch!

This was the personality of Holy Beasts!

Someone had once said that if all Holy Beasts were put together, only one would come out alive, for these guys were proud loners that did not get along with one another. When they met, death was the inevitable outcome for the rest save for one!

Today had proven that theory, but the one dying was the Lonegleam Eagle!

*Plush!*

Furball opened his mouth and bit down on the Lonegleam Eagle’s neck!

The battle was at the point where they were using teeth to fight. Such unskilled ways of fighting were a sign of just how bitter the battle had devolved!

Furball, who had seemingly gone crazy, refused to let go, and the Lonegleam Eagle screeched in pain. It rapidly plummeted into the valley below, crashing in a cloud of dust!

Furball had learned a lot from Xia Fei over the years, and one of such lessons was how to be ruthless!

No matter how the Lonegleam Eagle struggled, Furball’s teeth kept their grip on its flesh. The Lonegleam Eagle rammed its body against a rock, desperately pounding itself against the ground, but Furball was unmoved, staring with his beady little eyes at his opponent while biting down until the very end!

Gradually, the Lonegleam Eagle grew weaker and weaker, but Furball still kept biting!

*Plush!*

When the Lonegleam Eagle was on its last leg, Furball gathered his strength and bit through its neck! With his mouth dripping blood, he let out a crazed and fiendish roar!

The first time!

This was the first time Furball had killed an adult Holy Beast!

This was an immense honor! He was now an authentic top-class Holy Beast, standing at the very apex of exotic beasts!

Nonetheless, Furball did not waste much time on the Lonegleam Eagle, only roaring twice to express that he was the king of Holy Beasts; after which, he returned to the battlefield. His battle had ended, but his master was still locked in battle!

Exotic beasts were loyal to their owners, and while Furball was the mischievous sort, he was also very loyal. He found out that he could not get through Spirit Mountain’s soul array, so he began to ram heedlessly at it, injuring his body as he tried to get through!

This attitude could not be faked! It was a sign of how deeply he loved Xia Fei.

*Rumble!*

When Xia Fei used the Law of Primal Chaos to block one of Nan Shazi’s attacks,

Furball awoo-ed bitterly, his eyes going red!

*Beng!*

Xia Fei used the fiendish blade, Nirvana, to block Nan Shazi’s blade, and Furball roared in celebration this time!

In short, while his body was outside, his heart was with Xia Fei.

At this moment, a dark space tunnel opened up next to Furball. It was Little Goldie! This pet of Xia Fei was a demon chrysalis, and going between conventional space and dark space was its specialty. Other people might be unable to go in and out, but it was no problem for Little Goldie.

The two guys returned through dark space and immediately rushed to Xia Fei’s side.

One human, one ghost, one bug, one ball, and one blade of grass—they comprised Xia Fei’s strongest fighting force!

….

The battle was far more chaotic than expected. As Xia Fei was wrangling with Nan Shazi, Fuchen charged at the three traitors of the Unrestricted Sect: Hei Wuji, Basalt, and Lingxing!

Was this still Fuchen? He was facing what had once been his most beloved disciples, yet in this one-versus-three fight, every move he made was lethal!

*Plush!*

A Dark Spiritualist corpse toppled over in front of Basalt. The one who had done the dead was none other than one of the specialists from Lone Peak Turbid Shadow, scaring Basalt out of his wits.

The people of Lone Peak Turbid Shadow were seemingly able to tell that Fuchen wanted to take care of these traitors on his own, so they did not touch Basalt and the other two.

“You’re not allowed to call me ‘master’! The Unrestricted Sect doesn’t exist anymore, so I no longer have any disciples!” Lingxing had accidentally called ‘master’, and Fuchen had swiftly roared back in anger.

Such powerful killing intent!

Fuchen had once gone easy on his disciples, not even cursing at them when they banished him from the sect, enduring all the injustices on his own, but today, he was striking to kill, leaving no room for negotiations!

While Xia Fei and Fuchen were fighting, the Skywing wolves had run into a real opponent: the four hunchbacks.

For some reason, these guys had an incomprehensible aura, and even with the Skywings’ combined power and speed, they were only barely able to hold down these four heaven-defying existences.

It was a very tough mission, for these four hunchbacks were just too formidable. If they were to join the battle, the other parties would all be put in difficult straits.

The situation was not very optimistic, for the Skywing wolves had noticed that these four hunchbacks did not use law force or dark energy but rather something else entirely incomprehensible! Their offensive power was truly powerful. The Skywings had to rely on their guerilla tactics to hold the enemies down and spent most of the time in the defensive.

As for Qiu Xingbang and the Twin Dragons of Heavenly Might, they surprisingly threw everything they had into the battle. After watching on the sidelines in amusement for so long, they were suddenly striking with lethal force? It was truly inexplicable!

Moreover, Duet and Han Pin had noticed that their teacher seemingly had some rage that he was choosing to vent on the Dark Spiritualists! Qiu Xingbang was even cursing as he fought. Moments where he lost composure like this were exceptionally rare!

It all sounded very complicated, but it was settled almost instantly. In less than half a minute, the Dark Spiritualists started to crumble.

Xia Fei’s side was getting stronger as the battle went on, but at this moment, three figures had appeared in the air. They arranged themselves in a triangular offensive array!

Three spirits had gathered!

The trio unleashed their power in unison, wielding their weapons and fiercely attacking the Spirit Mountain’s array!

*Rumble!*

Such power in this attack! It completely shattered the defenses of Spirit Mountain’s array!

Xia Fei was very suspicious, for he could see that these three were all using Annihilator-grade soul weapons! In other words, they were Annihilators!

Startled, Xia Fei put a hand into his sleeve.

“Forget about the others; take down Basalt, Lingxing, and Hei Wuji! Catch the others if you can, but if you can’t, just let them go!” Xia Fei yelled.

Let their enemies go?! This was not his style!

Had something happened?

At the same time, those three people in the air waved their hands, and the beaten Dark Spiritualists began to jump up and flee.

Surprisingly, the first to run were the four hunchbacks! It was as if the orders of that skyborne trio had priority!

“Withdraw!”

Nan Shazi made a feint attack and then ran.

“Trying to run away! It’s not that easy!”

While the likes of Qiu Xingbang sighed in relief, Xia Fei and the Skywing wolves doggedly pursued these enemies. The Skywing wolves charged furiously, with Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng swinging his staff at one of the hunchbacks and knocking it out of the sky. The Skywings then instantly converged and killed the hunchback.

The four hunchbacks were truly formidable. If not for the abrupt summons from that trio, the Skywing wolves would have never had this chance to kill one.

Alas, there was only one chance. The other three hunchbacks ran without looking back, caring not for their companion.

That was just how chances were. Only people who were fast enough could seize them.

Xia Fei took advantage of Nan Shazi’s feint to release Nirvana and have it chase him down.

Fuchen had said that he wanted Xia Fei to use Nirvana, and this was just such a chance. Xia Fei initially had not paid much attention to his words. After all, his strongest weapons were clearly Fiend Scar and Fiend Lock; when had it ever made sense not to use one’s strongest weapons first?

It was only at the final moment that Xia Fei had decided to throw out Nirvana. As for Radix, he had long ago retreated to the side.

Without a thought, Nan Shazi struck at Nirvana with his Annihilator-class sword.

*Beng!*

There was an explosion that rapidly crescendoed!

Nirvana seemed to go crazy, keeping close to Silver Cup Triple Nine and greedily draining its energy!

Xia Fei’s eyes flew open. Only at this point did he understand what Fuchen had been getting at. It turned out that the fiendish blade Nirvana had been on the edge of advancing! It was about to get an upgrade!

It was as if the fiend blade had not killed enough people, yet the fiendish blade Nirvana had not advanced in all this time. Xia Fei initially thought that it had finally reached its limit; after all, he had forged this weapon back in the Law Realm, and he had never once harbored any delusions of it being enough to dominate a universe of a higher level.

*Rumble!*

In a flash, a new sun rose in the sky!

The fiendish blade Nirvana had really gotten an upgrade!

…

The battle of Spirit Mountain had been long, but it had ended very quickly.

Not even Xia Fei had expected that the upgrading of the fiendish blade would serve as a period to this campaign.

Nirvana unleashed an explosive power, of which the shockwave almost flattened Spirit Mountain! Some of the Dark Spiritualists used this chance to run, and the remainder were captured alive.

The Dark Spiritualists had lost a third of their power, whereas Xia Fei had won a total victory and was cleaning up the field. However, everyone quickly realized that the young man was gone even while his Nirvana was still on the battlefield?!

…

In a corner of the mountain, Xia Fei looked helplessly at White Haze. “What’s the meaning of this? Why did you make me stop?! The battle isn’t over yet!”

White Haze smiled. “It’s not my idea to make you stop but rather the will of those above. They decided that this battle must be stopped.”

“Why did we have to stop?! If we had made one last charge, while we might not have been able to keep those three experts who came out of nowhere, we could at least have kept half of the Dark Spiritualists!” Xia Fei felt vented, feeling like he had suffered a great loss.

“You can’t keep them! Absolutely not!” White Haze frantically waved his hand.

Xia Fei was confused, asking, “Why can’t I? Are those three existences I can’t afford to provoke?”

White Haze sighed and then whispered into Xia Fei’s ear, “You’ve already done a very good job. The people behind the Dark Spiritualists have been forced to flee, but just like you, those three new arrivals are Dragoons!”
