Chapter 718 - Law Overlord killed in battle!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, an organization directly subordinate to the God Race, Superior Law Overlord Kuzan Feng’s office.
“Report! The Skywings have already pushed their way into the Cherry Garden and are now surrounding the Moon Reaching House! Sail Ward was eliminated! Golcen Ward showed up. We also confirmed that all three Law Overlords and forty-six Law Emperors of the Moonward Clan had been mobilized! Moreover, for some reason, millions of ordinary members of that clan have been placed in the Riverbank Garden behind Moon Reaching House,” the Dragon Ascension spy on the screen urgently reported.
Pursuing the Skywing experts had run these elite spies ragged, for the Skywing warriors moved far too fast! They were in the Plum Garden moments ago; now, they were attacking Cherry Garden! It had only been a little more than half an hour since the triggering of the Demonic Wing Token, yet the Skywings had already finished assembling and begun their frenzied and fearless revenge!
The spies had the spirit, but lacked the strength to back it up, yet their master demanded that they ought to deliver reports from the front line as soon as possible, leaving these well-trained spies troubled and worried. There was no doubt that the war between the Moonwards and the Skywings was a major test in reaction speed to all the clans in the White Horse Constellation.
The battlefield situation was constantly changing, and what mattered was if the clans could react quickly enough, if they could keep up with the Skywings’ tempo!
“Keep observing! Keep reporting,” Kuzan Feng callously ordered, “and keep a close watch on the other clans, particularly the Nine Night Clan that the Moonward Clan has always been on good terms with. Send more men to keep watch on them!”
*Pa!*
After closing the screen, Kuzan Feng continued to frown.
Busey viciously slapped his chair and said, “The human race was never considered the strongest in the Law Realm, and now we’re fighting against one another?! Just what should we do!”
Of the Dragon Ascension’s Four Kings, Busey was the only human. The greater the mess the humans stirred up among themselves, the happier the xenos would be. After all, while the clans were competing against one another, so were the other species. It was just that Dragon Ascension Martial Hall had been entrusted by the God Race with the mission of protecting all the species under its banner and preventing any large-scale disturbances. Otherwise, who would care what sort of mess the humans got themselves into?
“Hallmaster, the Moonward Clan has placed all those powerless clan members behind the Moon Reaching House, presumably as a back-up plan. If the situation turns sour, they’ll send out these ordinary people for the Skywings to massacre. Once the Skywings start killing, they’ll have fallen for the Moonward Clan’s trap. At which point, all of the White Horse Constellation, even the entire Law Realm, will be calling for the Skywings to be annihilated, and the great clans will join together to deal with the Skywings.
“No matter how formidable the Skywings are, they can’t oppose all of the great clans together. Even if they’re all so monstrously powerful that the great clans can’t do anything to them, those above won’t be able to let them be. This is the power of the people! Once the will of the people goes in a certain direction, there’s no turning it back!” the only woman of the Four Kings, Dotzel, grimly said.
Besides Busey, Dotzel was the only one of the Four Kings who somewhat leaned in favor of humankind. The other two kings could not even be bothered to speak. In any case, since Kuzan Feng was here, they just needed to obey his orders. If something went wrong, the Feng Clan would be the one taking the blame.
Kuzan Feng firmly nodded. “You’re right. Those above have no desire to see the Skywings battling with the Nine Great Clans. After all, the Skywings are the sheathed demonic blade! The loss of this blade will be far too great!”
Silence reigned, none of them able to come up with a good plan. After all, the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall was the secret agent that the God Race had planted in the White Horse Constellation, and it had no authority to intervene in a fight between clans. As for the Law Enforcement Board, who knew what they were up to? There had been no news from them for some time.
“We can only hope that the Moonward Clan will be able to hold out against the Skywings and that they won’t use this plan. Otherwise, this mess will only get bigger and bigger until there’s no way to clean it up,” Busey said in frustration.
“Impossible. If the Moonwards were confident that they could hold out against the Skywings in the first place, they would never even consider such a self-defeating plan,” Dotzel said, shaking her head.
“Isn’t Law Overlord Golcen Ward there?”
Dotzel coldly laughed. “Alas, the Moonward Clan only has one Golcen Ward. That’s far from enough to deal with those Skywing madmen!”
Kuzan Feng was startled, and for a moment, he could not speak. He worriedly looked outside the window. “Don’t think that the Skywings are all madmen and fools who only know how to use violence. Those people are incredibly smart, or else they wouldn’t have survived until now.”
...
The Moon Reaching House.
historical
Xia Buyun did not take Law Overlord Golcen Ward seriously, and neither did the rest of the Skywing warriors. In the face of Golcen Ward’s arrogance, the Skywing warriors laughed with even greater arrogance!
Golcen Ward grimaced, his gaze turning darker.
The more than ten thousand Moonward Clan warriors, who had been tasked with protecting the front courtyard, had already caught up. They blocked off the Skywings’ escape path from a distance rather than recklessly attacking them. It was already evident that this was not a level of battle that ordinary law warriors, or even Law Sovereigns, could participate in. No matter how many of them tried, they would all die!
The only option was to see if the elites led by the three Law Overlords could hold out against the frenzied assault of the Skywings!
Suddenly, Xia Fei saw that Xia Buyun was smiling as if he had predicted all this. Could he have had some other purpose in having his men wait these handful of seconds?
Xia Buyun suddenly waved his hand and gravely said, “Let’s end this quickly! Cut off the head!”
*Whoosh~*
The Skywing warriors lunged out like tigers!
They moved with mind-blowing speed!
From the start, the Skywing warriors had been fighting like brutes, relying on pure speed rather than techniques to deal with their foes.
However, the moment Xia Buyun gave his order, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed. The over thirty Skywing elites formed into small teams ranging from two to five people, all of them working in sync as they attacked!
‘So the Skywings don’t just know how to fight like brutes; they also have tactics!’ Xia Fei was astonished. ‘I wonder what this cut-off-the-head tactic is?’
Fast!
The Skywings were simply too fast, and they executed tactics with absolute resolve!
In the blink of an eye, they had killed their way into the enemy formation!
Xia Fei did not have enough speed and did not know how to execute the tactics of the Skywing Clan, so he was blocked out by a Moonward Clan Law Emperor. Using his speed and Crafty Approach, he fought with this Law Emperor. Meanwhile, the others had already reached the center of the enemy formation!
Law Emperors, particularly those from the Nine Great Clans, were particularly hard to deal with. Putting aside their law defenses, they also had divine weapons!
*Bang!*
Xia Fei used the Law of Primal Chaos! With one punch, he blasted through his opponent’s law defenses. The Blood Crystal in his left hand flashed as it plunged into the opponent’s chest!
Suddenly!
A large hand grabbed Xia Fei by the collar and pulled him back!
The blade had almost penetrated through the enemy’s armor, and Xia Fei cried out in unwillingness!
*Zing!*
Xia Fei was brought up to the roof and put back down again.
The one who had pulled him back was none other than Patriarch Xia Buyun!
He could see that the Law Emperors protecting the Moon Reaching House were in panic, their faces as white as snow. The sudden attack from the Skywings had left them in a ragged state. In the face of absolute speed, before they even had the chance to use their full power, the Skywings would have already struck and then fallen back.
“Too powerful! The Skywings are far too powerful! Xia Fei, look!” Oro said in shock.
A Skywing warrior had been heavily injured and was being swiftly carried away to the Wind Pavilion for treatment. Meanwhile, a warrior of the Moonward Clan had also fallen into their own pool of blood!
When he saw who it was, Xia Fei paled!
The Xia family’s incapacitated was Law Emperor Xia Zhiyuan, that big fatty who was constantly warning the common people to stay away, but the Moonward Clan had lost Law Emperor White Ward, the family patriarch!
In the time it took to breathe, a Law Overlord and one of the patriarchs of the Nine Great Clans had died! He had been slain!
Collapsed in a pool of blood and dead as dead could be!
This was too absurd!
The Skywings had paid the price of one heavily injured Law Emperor and taken the life of a Law Overlord!
Xia Fei was left utterly stunned by the Skywing Clan’s unfathomable and perfectly synchronized tactics!
“What in the world has just happened?! That’s a Law Overlord, not just some head of cabbage! How could he have died just like that?!” Xia Fei blurted out. He could not figure out the tactics of the Skywing Clan, so he was obstructed at the perimeter all by himself, unable to join the battle in the center. Thus, he had no idea how White Ward had died.
Even with Holy Beast Furball and Immemorial Mystical Armament Peacock Blue, he had only at best been able to almost take Ulcen Ward’s life, but the Skywings had only needed several seconds to bring down a mighty Law Overlord!
Moreover, White Ward had two other Law Overlords and forty-six Law Emperors protecting him!
This was too absurd! Too heaven-defying!
Oro swallowed and then sternly said, “Just now, the Skywing warriors formed into seven teams and used their Law of Speed to fly into the enemy ranks. On the surface, it seemed like they planned to use their strength to kill off the warriors of the Moonward Clan.
“Suddenly, though, one person from each of the seven teams attacked in the same second—no, in the same 0.001 second! Two Law Overlords led five Law Emperors in attacking Law Overlord Golcen Ward!
“Unfortunately, Golcen Ward reacted extremely fast, instantly vanishing without a trace, but Law Overlord White Ward, who was next to him, reacted a little too slowly, so he ended up being surrounded by two Law Overlords and five Law Emperors! He died on the spot! Look at the blood under his body; he has incurred several thousand wounds!
“Too savage! These people aren’t humans anymore; they’re wolves! That wounded warrior used his body to hold down White Ward, even sustaining heavy injuries so that White Ward could not counterattack, giving the six other wolves a chance to attack!
“Wolfpack tactics! These are actual wolfpack tactics!”
Oro got more excited, the longer he talked, his eyes shining with light!
Who said that the Skywings were all brainless and savage madmen?! These lunatics knew how to conceive and execute sharp and penetrating strategies!
Once they got moving, they could take the life of a Law Overlord!
A Law Overlord! The Moonward Clan’s patriarch had not even been able to last a second!
Heaven-defying! Truly too heaven-defying!
“Patriarch! Patriarch!”
The Moonward Clan warriors finally realized what had just happened. That sudden attack had been a feint!
The Skywings had taken advantage of the chaos to take the life of their patriarch White Ward, one of their clan’s three Law Overlords!
“The Wing Slaughter Formation! It truly deserves its reputation!” Golcen Ward was the first to understand what had gone down. His eyes were blood-red, his two hands held behind his back as if he was gathering power for something.
The Skywing warriors did not stay to fight after eliminating their target. Like wolves, they circled around the Moon Reaching House and stared with dark gazes at the Moonward Clan elites.
In their eyes, these were all prey!
One minute after attacking Cherry Garden, the Skywings had used the Wing Slaughter Formation!
The Moonward Clan’s patriarch, a level 2 Law Overlord, White Ward had been slain!
