Chapter 761: Five Versus One Thousand
“No wonder they’re attacking a bald mountain. Someone’s hiding behind it,” the black and white parrots said in unison.
Xia Fei still looked very confused, but when he saw those amethysts shoot out, he was stunned as memories stirred up within his mind.
*Whoosh~*
There were nine amethysts in total. They arranged themselves into a beautiful crystal wall and began to revolve fast, just barely blocking the enemy attacks again and again.
Alas, there were simply too many Demon Race warriors. As more people began to use law power in long-distance attacks, those nine rhombus-shaped crystals began to fall behind, and the defenses were on the verge of breaking!
*Boom!*
The nine crystals began to shatter at a rapid speed, and in the blink of an eye, they had become innumerable small crystals, several thousand of them!
These amethysts had both become smaller and more agile, able to block more of the incoming attacks! This was the strongest level of defense they had, and if this could not hold, then the people behind it would face disaster!
“Haha! This is an offshoot of the Law of Matter, the Law of Amethyst Guard! Even among the defense-type laws, this is a high class law to possess!” Whitey seemed very excited as she commented.
“Defense-type? Amethyst Guard?!” Xia Fei was prompted by Whitey’s words, and his face instantly turned solemn.
“Ocular cognition!”
Xia Fei shouted as he wiped two fingers across his eyes. The vision-strengthening art of the Beast Spirit Codex activated! His black eyes began to shine like two brilliant flashlights!
Amethyst Guard, this familiar and long-unheard-of term, had riled up all sorts of painful memories in Xia Fei. Even if he had to risk discovery, Xia Fei must see who this was. Who was using such a high-class defense-type law?
*Whoosh~*
His eyes were like beacons! Nothing in the battlefield could escape them!
“Ah!”
Xia Fei was dumbfounded, and his entire body began to shudder!
He could see three young women keeping close to one another, defending as they rapidly retreated.
Xia Fei was very familiar with that cold and aloof face, and he was even more familiar with Moon Song’s devilish figure paired with an angelic face; there was also that cute face like a ripe red apple—a face that Xia Fei would never forget!
Although several years had passed and Xiaoyu had gone from a weak girl to a young woman in a flowing robe, Xia Fei still recognized her easily. Some things would not change with time, just like Xiaoyu’s adorable demeanor. It had not changed in the slightest.
Yes, she was Xiaoyu, Su Ruoyu!
His first reaction was shock and his second reaction was explosive anger!
The melancholy that had been stored in Xia Fei’s heart for several years erupted all at once, to horrifying consequences, his entire face twisting as a result!
Blackie did not understand why Xia Fei’s face had instantly changed so much, shouting, “No! If you charge out like this, you’ll ruin the entire plan!”
Alas, Xia Fei was in no mood to care about some plan. He had only one thought on his mind: He must make sure that Xiaoyu survived no matter the price!
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei ignored the warnings from Blackie and Whitey and charged out from the slope!
Furball and Peacock Blue were not as hesitant as the two parrots. They only knew that Xia Fei was making his move, so they naturally accompanied their master!
…
“Young Miss, look there!” As Xiaoyu retreated, she pointed ahead. The canyon was narrow, and the one thousand Demon Race warriors had squeezed themselves into the canyon to pursue them, taking the form of a long dragon.
However, for some reason, the Demon Race formation suddenly fell into turmoil. A flash of light, a bolt of lightning, had penetrated into the rear and was sowing discord!
A giant blade of blue grass swept up several Demon Race warriors and crushed them into paste, while a ball of white light crashed onto the ground, obliterating anyone it encountered.
There was also a human figure with blood-red eyes holding a blood-red dagger. Wherever his dagger traveled, warriors would be sliced apart and drained dry. It was like a devil draining the life from the enemies!
Xia Fei’s sudden and abrupt attack had achieved excellent results. In a single exchange, he had ended thirty lives, and Xia Fei was now in front of Xiaoyu and Moon Song.
*Pa!*
Without a word, Xia Fei tightly hugged Xiaoyu.
Xiaoyu was startled at first, but then her body relaxed, and she began to sob quietly.
Moon Song and Autumn Cicada curiously looked at this sight. Moon Song was rather happy at first, but when she saw Xia Fei hugging Xiaoyu, she suddenly realized that she was not the main character today, and her heart was stricken with grief. Meanwhile, Autumn Cicada felt something strange, but she did not understand where this strange feeling was coming from.
It was a very short hug. Xia Fei let Xiaoyu go, stroked his fingers across her hair, and then forced himself to turn around, his eyes turning cold.
“Leave this place,” Xia Fei sternly said.
There was no asking about how she was doing or emotional sobbing, only a cold order.
Xia Fei used his own body to protect Moon Song, Autumn Cicada, and Xiaoyu.
Xia Fei understood what was important; now was not the time to be lost in emotions, for there were more than a thousand Demon Race warriors ravenously eyeing them.
Xiaoyu, Moon Song, and Autumn Cicada were all dumbfounded. Xia Fei’s body was about the same as any ordinary person, but this thin and seemingly weak body seemed rather comforting as it stood before them. It was as if everything would be fine as long as Xia Fei was there.
Even when he should be the most agitated, Xia Fei remained calm and collected. All he said was that the three girls should leave first so that he could confront the rage of the enemy.
Women were emotional creatures, and at this moment, these three women were overcome with emotion. In their eyes, Xia Fei’s figure seemed larger than life.
*Bang bang!*
Two giant eagles landed on Xia Fei’s shoulders, one black and one white. Together with Xia Fei, Furball, and Peacock Blue, they formed an intimidating line of defense. These were naturally Blackie and Whitey.
It was very normal for divine beasts to change their forms. So that they would not be found out to be the personal exotic beasts of Hua Hei and Hua Bai, these birds had changed into their combat forms, their feathers as sharp as blades and their bodies five meters tall, their wingspans twenty meters, and their eyes glinting with savage light!
One man, one grass, one ball, and two large and savage monster birds left all the Demon Race warriors shaken! Anyone with some insight could tell that not one individual in this battle group was easy to deal with. Even the adorable Furball had now become a raving beast with vicious eyes. It was five versus one thousand, but they showed no fear!
“Why haven’t you left yet!”
The three girls behind him still did not move, so Xia Fei started to get anxious and coldly bellowed.
Women were truly strange creatures. Xia Fei’s unreasonable roar did not generate any sort of disgust from the women, only making them even more overcome with emotion. All of them knew that no matter how unreasonable Xia Fei was being, it was all to protect them.
Moon Song gritted her teeth, glanced resentfully at Xia Fei, and then grabbed Xiaoyu and Autumn Cicada by the arms. She pulled them along the canyon.
“Whew!”
Xia Fei sighed in relief and smiled.
“You’re still in the mood to smile? Trying to be a hero to save those girls? Think about your own situation first!” the talkative and crafty Whitey mocked. She and Blackie had been pulled into the battle by Xia Fei; she, therefore, resented Xia Fei for not keeping with the plan and suddenly wanting to be a hero.
Sezsny appeared very happy, his dark and fat face brimming with excitement. This was because Xiaoyu and the others had fled in the direction of his target destination! Now, he could lead his men where he wanted without any need for an excuse. As for Xia Fei, he did not take this fellow seriously. In his eyes, this was just one person and some exotic beasts.
With a wave of his hand, Sezsny called, “Don’t let the prey get away! Brothers, charge!”
The Demon Race warriors charged into the narrow canyon, but Sezsny did nothing. He needed to preserve strength for the final battle. In the depths of the canyon was the thing he and his entire clan had always dreamed about!
“Prey?” Xia Fei eerily smiled. “I’d like to see who the prey here really is!
“Leave no survivors!”
“Awoooo!”
Upon receiving his master’s order, Furball was the first to charge out.
*Rumble!*
As the Demon Race force approached, Furball unleashed his strongest attack! Just like a bomb, it exploded wherever it landed!
No survivors!
Xia Fei’s order was clear as day, so Furball held nothing back, unleashing all of the new attacks he had learned after advancing, swooping down and bombing the enemies!
*Whoosh~*
At the same time, Xia Fei confronted the more than one thousand Demon Race warriors, the Blood Crystal in his left hand and Peacock Blue around his right arm, imbued with the power of three Immemorial Mystical Armaments!
*Bang!*
Five blades of bluegrass erupted from the ground like the tentacles of a giant octopus, filling the canyon!
“Open for me!”
*Whoosh whoosh!*
Countless white energy crystals grew out from Peacock Blue’s body. These star-shaped crystals flew out!
A warrior, who failed to dodge in time, felt a white star brushing past his body, which instantly tore through his arm, tearing away a chunk of flesh with it!
Meanwhile, Xia Fei used his Crafty Approach, powered by his speed that surpassed one hundred and twenty thousand meters per second, to charge into the enemy formation, the Blood Crystal ceaselessly dancing in his hand. Anyone struck by its blade, if not killed, would at least lose a few drops of essence blood! Cruel! Sinister!
The black and white birds were amazed. They were still thinking of the Xia Fei of yesteryear, who was rather fast but who was far less powerful than the Xia Fei of today.
Alas, the Xia Fei of yesteryear had ceased to exist long ago. This was now a brand new Xia Fei who had even defeated a Law Overlord once!
Blackie and Whitey composed themselves and joined the battle! Xia Fei was hiding countless trump cards and had the help of two divine beasts. This was like giving a tiger a pair of wings! His powerful offensive caught the enemy completely unprepared!
However, the Demon Race warriors did not lack skilled fighters. With these fighters holding the line, their formation managed to stabilize and unleash a powerful counterattack that pressured Xia Fei so much that he could hardly breathe.
Just when the battle seemed to enter a stalemate…
A cry of alarm came from deep within the canyon. It sounded like a young woman’s voice, like Moon Song’s voice!
That sound akin to a rumbling train suddenly became several times louder!
