Chapter 1201 - Dual Rangers!
*Kaboom!*
The Silver Specter suddenly appeared in the sky, and the prelude to the counterattack began. Xia Fei had intentionally left his ship behind for his clan, all for the sake of this moment!
Startled, Xu Nanjun frowned as he looked out toward the stars. He had been waiting for Beihe’s signal, but never in his wildest dreams did he think that Xia Fei’s retaliation would be much swifter than his own!
*Whoosh*
Xia Fei was like a speeding bullet, dashing forward, his Fiendish blade Nirvana in hand.
The distance was too short, so there was no way Xu Nanjun could defend himself from Xia Fei’s sneak attack. After all, Xia Fei was skilled in assassination, an expert at it. He had been professionally trained in how to capitalize on opportunities with his movement technique.
*Squelch*
There was a flash of his blade, and Xia Fei actually did not take Xu Nanjun’s life with one blow, instead chopping his right arm off.
At the moment when Xia Fei attacked, it seemed Xu Nanjun was pulled to the side by some unknown force, which essentially saved his life.
Nirvana possessed its crazy draining ability, so even if Xu Nanjun merely had his arm cut off, he was having trouble keeping it together. This was especially true when it came to energy; rapidly losing that made for an experience even more agonizing than outright killing him.
Xia Fei immediately took an oblique path after dashing past Xu Nanjun. His foot kicked off the wall and turned back, the slender Fiend Lock glinting beside Nirvana.
Clearly, there was an expert next to Xu Nanjun. Only an expert whose cultivation had reached the peak level would possess the energy to make Xu Nanjun dodge Xia Fei’s 30 million meters per second attack, which was why Xia Fei did not dawdle, taking out his second weapon that not only covered a wide area, but it was also extremely discreet.
The process of everything happening took place in the beat of a fly’s wings. It was so quick that it barely took milliseconds for him to calculate, yet Xia Fei discovered that Xu Nanjun had actually disappeared when he turned around, and all that was left in front of his eyes was naught but a faint afterimage.
“Sure enough, an expert!” Xia Fei was mildly taken aback. He brandished Nirvana and Fiend Lock toward that afterimage, with Nirvana on his left and Fiend Lock coming in from the right!
*Zing*
Two imperceptible lights intertwined, and fresh red blood spurted out instantly within that empty space.
The power of matter traversal!
Different from spatial movement, the method of fast matter traversal was very unique. First, it would atomize an individual, and after reaching its target destination, it would cellularly reconstruct themselves accordingly again.
“Is that actually the Law of Matter’s atomized traversal?” Radix exclaimed.
“I know, but even if Xu Nanjun has been atomized and transported away, he nevertheless caught a cut of my blade. Even if he’s not dead, he would at least be semi-disabled!” Xia Fei hissed through gritted teeth.
“Let’s go!”
“Understood!”
*Rumble*
The Fiendish Blade Nirvana slashed, and smashed the gigantic semicircular floor-to-ceiling window before him. Xia Fei proceeded to leap through and plunged into the darkness.
Victor had been standing by the side in a daze the entire time. He could not understand why Xia Fei had let him off and jumped out of the window. After all, the guards of Xu Nanjun were waiting in the next room, and a speedster like Xia Fei would have had more than enough time to finish him off.
Holding his hand to his chest, Victor walked over to the window and looked, and what he saw drained the color from his face!
All he saw was Silver Specter coming in like a gigantic meteor, with a trail at its back even more glaring than a blazing comet, roaring straight down toward the planet from the stars!
Let an enemy off? That had never been Xia Fei’s style!
It was only now that Victor finally understood. Xia Fei had not spared his life, but he had other means to take care of him!
*Kaboom!*
Silver Specter was like a silver hammer crashing down ruthlessly. It directly slammed through the skyscraper that the Black Angel Corporation was situated in!
Countless underlings of Xu Nanjun promptly found themselves dead in a sea of flames, without even being able to let out a scream before they met their demise!
The Skywing Clan’s war against the Black Angel Corporation started at that very second!
...
“Nanjun! Nanjun!”
In a dark secret room, the voice of an old woman cried out Xu Nanjun’s name. Meanwhile, Xu Nanjun was bleeding all over on the ground. The final strike from Xia Fei had injured his organs, and Xu Nanjun was dying.
What made it worse was that it happened while Xu Nanjun was in the process of atomization, and Xia Fei’s attack had grievously wounded all his internal organs. There was no way to treat him at all!
“Don’t be afraid, with your cultivation, you can be reborn, so at most you’ll suffer just a bit,” an old woman covered in black muslin stroked Xu Nanjun’s forehead. Her hand was trembling ever so slightly, seemingly very broken-hearted.
Xu Nanjun had already lost consciousness by this time, and black blood was pouring out from his mouth. That woman’s withered and pale hand was placed on Xu Nanjun’s neck, and she applied a light force.
*Crunch*
His neck was snapped!
“Son, rebirth isn’t painful. Get used to it, and you’ll be fine.”
This woman was actually Xu Nanjun’s mother?! Hearing her speak, without a hint of emotion or excitement in her voice, would make people tremble with fear..
A warrior behind her fell to the ground in a kneel and reported, “Madam! The enemy has already attacked the Dark Mound!”
“So soon?!”
historical
The woman’s reaction was the opposite of the calm she had demonstrated moments before. She abruptly got up to her feet and began asking about everything.
She had initially thought nothing of what was happening. Experts undergoing rebirth was nothing but a universal law, and she had just killed her own son with her bare hands, while the Skywing Wolfpack had assaulted the Dark Mound? How ridiculous was that?!
The Dark Mound was the ancestral temple of the Xu family, and thirty miles underneath it was where Xu Nanjun’s Seed of Life was located. In the event the Skywing Wolfpack dug up their ancestral tomb, then there was no way he could be reborn!
“Quick, go defend it for me! DEFEND IT!” the woman screeched. At the same time, she tore the veil off and left the secret room. In the gloomy light, it was still apparent that this old woman had a pair of peculiar amber eyes!
....
Fast?
What was so strange about that? The speed of the Skywing Wolfpack was of course swift!
“Skywing business, those uninvolved can scram!”
The Skywing warriors began their massacre with this familiar call! The Wolfpack would disperse and converge from time to time, acting very unpredictable.
However, those who understood this Formation would discern that today’s Wolfpack Formation was a little different from what it had been in the past. Aside from the Wolfpack, there was also an additional lone wolf!
The Dual Ranger tactic!
Xia Fei had returned to the Skywing very late, and was already past the age where he could learn the Wolfpack Formation. Xia Gucheng had a brainstorm, and had allowed Xia Fei to pick up the lone wolf role in the Formation, becoming their ranger!
It was originally a last-minute arrangement, but who would have thought that it would tremendously increase the might of the Wolfpack Formation!
Xia Fei was fast and struck with ruthless precision. He had plenty of trump cards and an expansive arsenal of techniques! His analytical ability was top-notch and was outstanding in whatever he applied himself to. Having Xia Fei as the lone wolf to the Wolfpack Formation was akin to having a well-rounded ranger in their periphery. It was Xia Fei’s job to scout ahead, alleviate pressure on their flanks, or succor his comrades when they were wounded!
It was no exaggeration to say that Xia Fei alone could do the job of an entire squad! He allowed the already efficient and deadly Wolfpack Formation to transcend to an entirely new plane with his involvement!
Unfortunately, Xia Fei was too busy, running all over the place every day, always habitually getting himself into even more trouble. Even his fellow Sky Wing clan members rarely ever saw him around, and the position of the Lone Wolf in the Wolfpack Formation had been left empty all this time.
Warriors who had personally participated in the battles knew that the Wolfpack Formation was not considered complete without its Lone Wolf, and it could hardly be called perfect. That was why everyone mulled this over and decided to just find a second Lone Wolf. They could not possibly leave the spot empty just because Xia Fei was never back home.
Xia Guanghai, Xia Geng, Xia Xiang, Xia Lianning.. Everyone possible had tried it, yet no one could achieve the same efficiency as Xia Fei.
This could not be helped. The requirements of the Lone Wolf were too high, and while Xia Fei might not be the most powerful individual in the clan, he was very well-rounded! Was there anyone who had countless strange treasures hidden on themselves like Xia Fei? Even if they had sufficient equipment, no one had the high-speed calculating and analytical capabilities that Xia Fei possessed.
Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng thought further on the matter, and he decided to become the ranger himself. In doing so, the Wolfpack Formation managed to demonstrate the prowess they had shown before.
There was this saying: Inadvertently planting willows, which in turn provided shade. After Xia Gucheng was released from the Wolfpack Formation, he had incidentally caused a completely new transformation in the formation: the Dual Ranger!
The Skywing Clan was no longer the Skywing Clan of before. Xia Xiang, Xia Lianning, and Xia Guanghai had all attained Founder cultivation! With them around, the Wolfpack Formation would definitely not mess up easily! Meanwhile, Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng were the two with the highest speed in their clan. One was the heaven-defying well-rounder, completely unleashed and ready to demonstrate his 100% combat strength!
Xia Fei leapt off from the building and quickly joined the Skywing’s Wolfpack Formation.
A Black Angel Corporation warrior had ignorantly gotten in the way of the Formation, only to be instantly swallowed up by and shredded by the Wolfpack!
*Whoosh whoosh whoosh*
Their speed was so high that a single speedster could alter the battle, so a group of speedsters could instantly oppress the battlefield!
Even if those Black Angel Corporation warriors wanted to retaliate, they did not have the chance to. A mass of blinding black light arrived in the blink of an eye, and in the next blink, devastation was left all around them!
So what if they were higher level?! The increased reflex response that came with being higher level could resist a single speedster, but could it withstand over a hundred speedsters?!
Impossible!
As long as the Skywing Wolfpack arrived, they would swarm their enemies like man-eating ants, leaving nothing alive in their wake!
*Boom!*
The Black Angel Corporation’s base was a burning inferno. Aside from the change to the Wolfpack Formation, their weapons had changed as well. They were now all using the Soul Weapon Winged Roar!
Winged Roar was the most violent close-combat weapon in all of history! If, for example, a warrior used a shield to block, the Skywing warriors would not even evade, but instead smash their fist right into it! They would first break the shield and whatever strength they had remaining would shatter the bones and body of the person hiding behind it!
Unreasonable! The Skywing Wolfpack were completely unreasonable once they had the Winged Roar! No matter what obstructed their way, talk could wait after they bombarded them with punches! If they still stood after a punch, then everyone would punch once! If that still was not enough, then each would deal a hundred punches!
In any case, the speed of the Skywings was high! A blink of an eye could become a million punches!
“There’s many people there! CHARGE!” Xia Gucheng pointed into the distance.
Speaking of which, it was totally coincidental, but the old man had pointed randomly, and it happened to be directly toward the Xu family’s Dark Mound, where Xu Nanjun would be reborn.
The Black Angel Corporation’s warriors did not dare dawdle. They risked their lives to put up a strong resistance, but the Wolfpack Formation was simply far too peculiar. The Skywings were also extremely fast, and they slew a bloody path through until they arrived at the entrance to the Dark Mound.
*Boom!*
A single silhouette landed from the sky, bringing a huge sonic boom!
The visitor had ill intent, and a single gesture from Xia Fei bade the Wolfpack Formation to come to a halt.
This woman was dressed in black muslin, revealing only her two strange amber eyes. She eyed the Skywing Wolfpack from far away, the cloak she had on billowing in the wind. Xia Fei suddenly had a strange thought that it made her look like the rumored Black Angel.
“Do you guys know why we’re called the Black Angel Corporation?” The strange amber-eyed woman did not seem flustered at all, asking the question as she raised a hand to point at Xia Fei.
“Oh,” Xia Fei seemed to have had an epiphany. His lips curled as he smiled, “Sure enough, the Black Angel Corporation. Black. Angel..”
With the change in conversation, Xia Fei waved to the Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng and said, “Sorry, yours truly isn’t interested. But if you’re interested, I can tell you why the Skywing has the ‘wing’ word in it!”
Xia Fei had intentionally emphasized on the last word, which was the order to attack!
*Whoosh!*
Xia Gucheng and Xia Fei flew out together at the same time, like a pair of bull horns!
Behind them were a pair of wings!
This was the third change to the Skywing’s Wolfpack Formation, the Dual Ranger!
