Chapter 734 - The Most Aggrieved Death
“Other people came in like normal, but Ulcen Ward was shut up in a giant metal box by the Moonward Clan. That isn’t a box for holding people but more like one for holding a wild beast!” Xia Wu sternly said.
Stunned, Xia Buyun asked, “Held in a box? Putting a person in a box? That’s a little too strange, isn’t it?”
Xia Wu said, “Even stranger is that the sounds coming from the box are extremely frightening. It’s as if Ulcen Ward has gone crazy!”
Everyone was confused. They had expected that the Moonward Clan would be struggling at death’s door, but they had not expected Ulcen Ward to become so strange. They would probably have to wait until the day of the battle to find out what Ulcen Ward’s state actually was.
Waving his hand, Xia Buyun indicated that Xia Wu should leave.
The mood in the resting room grew heavier and heavier, but as Xia Tian was versed in meditation, he displayed excellent composure in the face of danger. He turned his head and closed his eyes, as if he had not heard about the bizarre shift in the Moonward Clan.
Xia Buyun and Xia Fei looked at each other, neither saying anything but both very worried.
...
More and more people gathered on the ship as the representatives of the major clans arrived. The sizes of the groups varied; the aloof and transcendent Glacier and Snowdrift Clans only sent a few people, while the Nine Fan Clan, the Moonward Clan’s close ally, sent over twenty people, all of them elites.
This ship had many rooms, which were allocated to the various clans for when they spectated the battle.
In a room near the tail-end of the ship, two girls sat side by side. It was Xiao Yu and Autumn Cicada. Xiao Yu frequently looked worriedly outside the window.
Autumn Cicada very coolly asked, “Are you worried about Xia Fei?”
“Mm.” Xiao Yu firmly nodded. “Big Brother Xia Fei’s opponent is level 5 Law Overlord Golcen Ward. The gap between them is too big, so...”
Autumn Cicada understood what Xiao Yu was feeling, but she was just this sort of cold and indifferent person, regarding everything like a passing cloud and not taking anything to heart.
“There’s no point in worrying. I heard from Mother that if everything goes smoothly, the Moonward Clan will lose for certain. Xia Buyun and Xia Tian of the Skywing Clan are both difficult to deal with, and the battle will be over before Xia Fei even gets a chance to fight,” Autumn Cicada softly said.
Xiao Yu lightly nodded, still confused. “I hope that’s so. Otherwise, Big Brother Xia Fei will be in big trouble. I really didn’t think that he would be a member of the Skywing Clan.”
Autumn Cicada asked in confusion, “Isn’t this good? The Skywing Clan is very powerful, so at least Xia Fei has a backer in the Law Realm now.”
Xiao Yu pursed her lips and said nothing. How could Autumn Cicada and her aloof demeanor possibly know what Xiao Yu was thinking? Xiao Yu was no longer some ignorant girl; rather, she was now a young woman who had begun to awaken to love.
Xia Fei was already a powerful member of the Skywing Clan, while she was just a servant maid of the Snowdrift Clan. This was a vast difference in status, and the Snowdrifts were a bizarre clan made entirely of women, with the members of the clan being forbidden from marriage...
Autumn Cicada thought that Xiao Yu missed Xia Fei, so she said, “The Skywings are also on this ship. You can go and meet with your Big Brother Xia Fei.”
Xiao Yu shook her head. “No, at least not now. With the battle imminent, I don’t want to upset him; I will save it for later.”
“Oh, I see. You’re right. During battle, one must remain cool and collected. You’re very considerate,” Autumn Cicada said flatly.
...
“Look there! The battle is about to start!” someone shouted. Everyone walked out of their rooms and looked out the windows. Meanwhile, the truly important figures remained in their rooms, as they had even better views from where they were compared to those in the main deck. As such, there was no need for them to mix in with the others.
Two flashes of light, and Law Overlord Xia Buyun and Great Law Emperor Yu Hua appeared in the wasteland.
Everyone shook their heads. There was nothing particularly noteworthy about this battle. Yu Hua was no match for Xia Buyun. Of the several hundred clan elites on this warship, only one person could claim that he was capable of defeating Xia Buyun, and that was Superior Law Overlord Kuzan Feng!
In all of White Horse Constellation, Kuzan Feng was the sole level 7 Superior Law Overlord! Dragon Ascension worked for the God Race, so Kuzan Feng was not bound by the rules and could remain in the Law Realm as he pleased.
The remaining Law Overlords, even those of level 5, including Golcen Ward who had almost ascended to the God Race, did not dare to say that their victory was assured. After all, everyone knew that the Skywings possessed monstrous speed! They were simply unstoppable!
Among all the martial arts out there, only speed was without flaw!
Among all the clans in the universe, the Skywings alone were the fastest!
Thus, the warriors of the Skywing Clan were far above the caliber of warriors at the same level. Puny level 7 Great Law Emperor Yu Hua challenging level 2 Law Overlord Xia Buyun? It was like striking an egg with a stone!
...
A wind swept across the wasteland, stirring up yellow sand, and Yu Hua’s heart sank even further.
His opponent was Law Overlord Xia Buyun, the strongest warrior of the Skywing Clan! Even the most optimistic person did not think that Yu Hua had a chance at surviving; besides, the Moonward Clan had already abandoned him. By having him fight with Xia Buyun, they clearly had no intention of letting him survive.
He pursed his lips and looked up at the warship with eyes full of resentment.
At this time, Xia Buyun suddenly spoke. “Xia Fei wanted me to convey some words to you.”
Yu Hua looked in surprise and curiosity at Xia Buyun.
“Xia Fei said that he doesn’t have a chance to kill you personally, but he’ll take very good care of Yu Xiaobei.”
Yu Hua paled and his entire body shuddered!
What everyone knew was that Yu Hua had never married and had no son; however, unbeknown even to his brothers, Yu Jin and Yu Peng, Yu Xiaobei was in fact his son!
Back then, Yu Hua had engaged in a tryst with Yu Xiaobei’s mother, which resulted in his birth!
The Skywings’ power was terrifying. A little work from Xia Tian had ended up revealing this astonishing secret!
When Xia Fei said that he would take good care of Yu Xiaobei, it was clear that he meant he would kill him to leave Yu Hua without descendants!
Yu Hua utterly despaired. He darkly looked up at the warship and felt like he could see Xia Fei staring down at him with an even more venomous glare!
Returning an eye for an eye, this had always been Xia Fei’s personality!
Even his death would not be enough to soothe Xia Fei’s anger. Pity to one’s enemy was cruelty to oneself! Pull up by the roots! Xia Fei wanted to give Yu Hua the deepest and most lethal blow!
“Ruthless! Ruthless!” Yu Hua muttered, his face turning pale.
Xia Buyun smiled. “Do you have anything else you want to say?”
“I hope...”
Yu Hua was just about to voice his desire before death when Xia Buyun suddenly struck, giving him no chance to speak at all!
*Zing~*
Moving like a bolt of lightning, Xia Buyun appeared behind Yu Hua in the blink of an eye, and by then, a blade had already slashed across Yu Hua’s neck. This speed was far too fast. While he could already feel like the god of death was here, his mind was still somewhat clear.
“Xia Fei also said that he doesn’t care what sort of hopes you have. He doesn’t want to hear it! He just wants you dead!” Xia Buyun put away the small dagger he had used to slit Yu Hua’s throat as he sternly said.
Despair!
Limitless despair!
historical
Asking despite not wanting to hear a word? It turned out that Xia Fei had had Xia Buyun ask Yu Hua if he had any final wishes so that he could make Yu Hua see hope before crushing it ruthlessly!
A sense of anger and frustration seethed in his chest. Yu Hua had never imagined that Xia Fei would be this ruthless! Even death was not enough to make him let go!
Such cruel methods! Such insidious style!
Yu Hua was furious, his blood boiling!
*Bang!*
The swelling of his veins pushed open the wound, causing blood to gush out!
This was the price for provoking Xia Fei!
In this most infuriating and aggrieving method, level 7 Law Emperor Yu Hua bid farewell to the mortal realm!
...
Standing by the window, Xia Fei watched Yu Hua die with a wicked smile on his lips. He felt no sympathy for his enemies. Otherwise, how could the souls of the unjustly slain, like Instructor Gu Dong and short-haired girl Zhu Li, find peace?
The several hundred clan elites on the ship found this match very boring. After all, there was nothing particularly exciting about this first battle. Even the Skywing warriors did not cheer; they just quietly watched.
Xia Tian used a piece of cloth to wipe his golden-threaded eyeglasses, then he turned around, and walked out. “It’s my turn now. I wonder if that fellow Ulcen Ward really did become a wild beast.”
“Stay safe!” Xia Fei blurted out. His words were clearly tinged with worry, so they sounded rather strange.
Xia Tian was startled, and then he smiled. “Don’t worry. None of the Skywings are easy to deal with, and I’m not an exception.”
Xia Tian raised his head and walked out, preparing to enter the battlefield!
...
It was soon time for the battle between level 3 Law Overlord Ulcen Ward and level 1 Law Overlord Xia Tian to begin!
Two balls of light shot down; Xia Tian and a large box then appeared in the wasteland. The box was three meters on all sides and was made of thick and heavy alloy.
“What’s going on here? Is the Moonward Clan sending a box to battle?”
A warrior from one of the clans present uttered this joke, but he was the only one laughing, so he had to awkwardly stand at the side.
When things were abnormal, evil was afoot!
All experienced warriors knew this. The Moonward Clan were one of the Nine Great Clans, and so this giant metal box had to be hiding something strange!
With bated breath, their hearts began to beat faster as they stared at the battlefield and speculated on the kind of fiend that would emerge from the box!
Xia Tian’s eyes chilled as he warily stared at the box.
The incessant panting of a beast could be heard from inside the box. It was as if the box really contained some violent beast, who was staring with crimson eyes at Xia Tian!
Nonetheless, this man deserved to be a Law Overlord of the Skywing Clan! Though he wore a pair of cultured glasses, it was incapable of hiding the pride and madness in his bones!
Xia Tian silently pointed at the metal box, his eyes cold! He erupted with an aura, which was even more frenzied and shocking than the aura of this monster!
This was a challenge! In the face of the murderous intent of the monster in the box, Xia Tian released an even greater murderous intent!
*Beng!*
There was a massive bang!
Ulcen Ward could no longer restrain himself, breaking out of the heavy metal box and revealing himself to the world!
As the yellow sand settled down, everyone was able to see a disheveled monster!
Ulcen Ward? This was a devil!
Everyone was dumbfounded! No one had imagined that a Moonward Law Overlord would end up looking like this!
On the warship, Golcen Ward had his hands on the window as he softly muttered, “Brother, for the sake of the Moonward Clan, I had to wrong you like this...”
His voice was grief-stricken, on the verge of tears!
Suddenly, Golcen Ward’s demeanor changed!
His eyes erupted with killing intent!
