Chapter 852: Turmoil in Dragon Ascension
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei instantly shot out like a bolt of lightning and helped the girl up. The girl had a pink little face like a ripened red apple. Just a small pinch would be enough to draw water, and it was as adorable as could be.
However, this girl’s complexion was not that good right now. Her forehead was drawn into forming faint wrinkles. When she saw Xia Fei, the girl smiled, trying her best to suppress the pain in her abdomen. A trickle of blood slowly flowed from one corner of her lips.
It was clear that she had suffered an internal injury. Even though she eked out a smile, the sight was so tragic it even made Xia Fei’s heart leap to his throat! The flames of rage began to erupt in him!
“Xiao Yu!” Xia Fei was stunned. As he used his sleeve to wipe the blood at the corner of the girl’s mouth, he asked, “Why are you here?”
The hall was called Wind Rain Thunder Lightning, and it was divided into four. This was the Thunder Hall, where Law Overlords sparred against one another. Xiao Yu had only just become a Law Emperor, so she should not have had the right to enter this place. Xia Fei was angry and confused. Why had Xiao Yu appeared where she should not have?
Xiao Yu said nothing, apprehensviely looking to a place nearby. The space suddenly opened, revealing four women who were standing inside. The one who was cold as ice was Autumn Cicada, whom Xia Fei had met before. He was seeing the other three for the first time.
The concealment system, also known as the stealth system, could prevent other people from observing a battle in progress. Perhaps Xiao Yu and the other four women had wanted to avoid men, and so they had activated the concealment system to practice in a corner of the hall secretly. If Xiao Yu had not been struck out of the concealment, Xia Fei would have never realized their existence.
“Who are you? Don’t touch her!” An alien girl wearing red armor came over and spoke to Xia Fei. She had a fox-like charm, and even when she was angry, she still had a smile on her face.
*Bang!*
Xia Fei was abnormally angry and did not have time for this girl. He swung his right arm, and Peacock Blue emerged! Like a spring, it sent the red-armored girl hurtling back!
*Rumble!*
Peacock Blue was a plant. If Xia Fei was regarded as someone who did not cherish beauties, then Peacock Blue had treated this girl as roughly as if she was an enemy, slamming her against the wall and aiming the edges of its five leaf blades at her face. With one order from Xia Fei, she would still be made into a corpse even with her beautiful face!
“Immemorial Mystical Armament Peacock Blue? You’re the Skywing Clan’s Xia Fei!” The only one among these four girls who wore a golden insignia on her neck, clearly a Law Overlord, furrowed her brows. She was evidently quite fearful of the Skywings.
Actually, when she said these words, everyone in the hall stopped sparring and ran over to see what was going on. Only Autumn Cicada remained cold and detached. She knew of Xia Fei’s relationship to Xiao Yu and was not surprised.
Xiao Yu called out Xia Fei’s name, and Xia Fei gave a slight nod and passed her to Zanian Feng and Wolf Shunye. “Take good care of her.”
As Xia Fei stood up, his face twisted in savagery, a fiendish energy soaring to the heavens. He swept his gaze over the four women, including Autumn Cicada, his eyes making them shiver.
“A misunderstanding! It must be a misunderstanding!” Zanian Feng rushed up to try and stop Xia Fei from going crazy.
Xia Fei lightly extended his arm to stop him, and Zanian Feng felt like he had run into a steel wall and could not move another step!
Zanian Feng was flabbergasted. Xia Fei’s rank probably far exceeded his now, such that he could stop him with just one arm like an adult holding back a child.
“You injured Xiao Yu?!” Xia Fei pointed a hand at the only Law Overlord among the women. Be it Autumn Cicada or Red Oriole, both were of lower rank than Xiao Yu. Besides, Xiao Yu was a rare user of the Law of Guardian. There was no way they could be strong enough to break Xiao Yu’s Amethyst Guard. He could see without thinking that this was the work of that Law Overlord woman.
“Yes,” that woman was rather straightforward, stepping forward and sternly saying, “I wanted to test the legendary Amethyst Guard, so I had Red Oriole and Autumn Cicada of the Snowdrift Clan bring her over. I didn’t expect the strongest law of the defense-type would be so weak, though. She can only blame herself for lacking the skills. As this is sparring, injuries are unavoidable.”
This woman had an ugly and coarse face, with wide and thick lips and a raspy voice. If not for the two bulges on her chest, she might be mistaken for a man.
The facts were rather simple. The woman belonged to the Kalan species and was called Water Heng. Every month, she would come with other geniuses to Dragon Ascension and look for people to spar with.
Today was a day like any other. Water Heng had encountered Autumn Cicada and Red Oriole of the Snowdrift Clan outside Thunder Hall and discovered that their attendant, Xiao Yu, possessed a rare law power, the Amethyst Guard.
Thus, Water Heng insisted on fighting with Xiao Yu. Red Oriole was not Xiao Yu’s master, so she naturally did not care. As for Autumn Cicada, she felt like it was just a spar and nothing major would happen; thus, she did not object.
However, she had never expected Water Heng to be so vicious, sending Xiao Yu flying with just one strike. Xia Fei had witnessed this scene, which had stoked his flames of rage into an uncontrollable blaze.
The women of the Snowdrift Clan rarely interacted with men, so when Xia Fei helped up Xiao Yu, Red Oriole immediately ran over to reprimand him, ending up being pinned to the wall by him.
Xia Fei’s breathing started to get heavy, his eyes turning sharp. It was clear that he wanted to kill someone!
*Whoosh~*
A male Law Overlord immediately appeared before Xia Fei, using his body to protect Water Heng.
This was Mountain Heng. Mountain Heng was this ugly woman’s older brother, and both were Level 1 Law Overlords. When he saw Xia Fei erupt with murderous intent, he naturally came out to save his younger sister.
A cold sneer on his face, Xia Fei said, “Kneel and apologize!”
“Say that again?!” The Heng siblings were enraged. Meanwhile, Zanian Feng broke out in a cold sweat.
Xiao Yu tried to tug on Xia Fei’s sleeve so that she could persuade him into not causing trouble, but Brother Gigawolf grabbed the girl and pulled her some distance away, shaking his head. “It’s too late. Given Xia Fe’s personality, he won’t rest today until he sees blood; nobody can think about stopping this stubborn bull now.”
“Kneel and apologize,” Xia Fei coldly repeated.
Mountain Heng was furious at first, but then he laughed and pointed at Xia Fei’s nose. “Arrogant Skywing, what will happen if I apologize, or if I don’t?!”
“If you apologize, one will die. If you don’t apologize, two will die.” Xia Fei spoke in a cold and indifferent tone of voice, as if he was just stating the facts to the Heng siblings.
This was an outrageous stance! It was as if he had no regard for the two Law Overlords in front of him!
Murderous intent!
Bone-chilling murderous intent pervaded the air!
Shouting could only prove that one had a loud voice. True murderous intent could make the enemy shiver even if one said nothing!
The Heng siblings were startled. Xia Fei’s disregard for others was extremely frustrating. Mountain Heng pointed at the large ‘thunder’ word carved into the ceiling and said, “Kid, take a close look! This is the Thunder Hall, a place where Law Overlords spar!
“You want to challenge the two of us? Wait till you have the right qualifications, okay?!”
Mountain Heng smugly smiled.
Using rank to suppress others, these were very provoking words. Even Brother Gigawolf felt his face growing hot.
Unexpectedly, Xia Fei suddenly eerily smiled as he extended two fingers. “One, I’m not challenging you to a spar; I’m killing the two of you.
“Two, I AM A LAW OVERLORD!”
*Rumble!*
Xia Fei held nothing back, fully unleashing his cultivation!
An intimidating aura erupted from him, and even those in the corners could clearly sense that this was a Law Overlord’s aura!
Zanian Feng and Wolf Shunye were both dumbstruck!
It turned out that person who had crossed the Law Overlord heavenly threshold this morning was really Xia Fei!
*Bang!*
Xia Fei’s foot stomped down, and he shot forward!
The Blood Crystal flashed as it shot toward Mountain Heng’s face!
At the Law Overlord level, everyone had a rather fast reaction speed. Mountain Heng did not have Xia Fei’s agility, but he had a strange law power subsidiary to the Law of Matter, Shadow Wind!
“Army Wrecking Gale!”
He thrust his hands out! Powerful winds rushed at Xia Fei like a storm of blades!
This was a large-scale law attack that relied on the berserk power of wind to annihilate an army! Even an army of millions would have no choice but to get down!
*Papapa!*
The Monohorn Ogre armor changed forms, focusing all of its defensive power on the front! Xia Fei ignored the wind and continued lunging forward!
Retreating in the face of difficulty? Xia Fei did not even understand what that meant!
*Rumble!*
The furious wind that should have blocked the attack was torn apart by Xia Fei!
It was not because Mountain Heng’s Army Wrecking Gale was not fierce enough but because Xia Fei’s attack was crazier than anyone else’s!
*Plush!*
The dark red blade plunged into Mountain Heng’s stomach, and then Xia Fei pulled, cutting upward along the middle line. Not only did he turn Mountain Heng into a shriveled corpse, he also sliced him in half!
“Too fast!”
“What a cruel attack!”
The spectating Law Overlords all felt their blood pumping. Xia Fei had not cared about the wounds inflicted by the Shadow Wind Law force, pushing through and tearing Mountain Heng into two! This required extraordinary courage and an extremely keen grasp of the situation on the battlefield!
They were Law Overlords of the same rank, but Xia Fei had needed only one move to kill his opponent!
The Skywings had always been stronger than opponents of the same rank, and that was not mentioning Xia Tian, who was a heaven-defying monster of that clan!
The Heng siblings had been too naïve if they thought that the push of the Shadow Wind Law would be enough to stop Xia Fei!
Thin and small marks had appeared all over Monohorn Ogre. This was the damage done by the wind!
Yes, Mountain Heng’s law power had not been weak. It had damaged Xia Fei’s armor, but Xia Fei had taken his life in exchange!
“BROTHER!” Water Heng paled as she screamed.
Alas, Xia Fei did not care for the pain of his enemies. Their pain was, in fact, his happiness!
*Rumble!*
Peacock Blue had been waiting for this moment! Seeing that Water Heng was distracted, it moved to sweep her up!
Immemorial Mystical Armaments were abnormally tenacious. Since Peacock Blue had wrapped around Water Heng, her death was certain!
The five blades of blue grass were already in front of Water Heng when—*bang*! A dazzling white light shot out and pushed Peacock Blue back!
“Everyone, stop at once! Who dares to cause a scene in Dragon Ascension?” A dark silhouette appeared at the scene, interposing themselves between Water Heng and Xia Fei, separating the two!
“It’s Salem! One of the peak Law Overlords of Dragon Ascension Martial Hall!” Someone shouted this upon seeing the newcomer’s face.
Yes, this was none other than one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension, Salem! A peak Law Overlord!
“Anyone who gets in my way dies!” shouted Xia Fei, once more swinging his dark red dagger!
