Chapter 1352: The Five Ancient Apexes has Arrived! Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

Autumn Erudite felt only sorrow when it came to his former comrades.

With his ability, it hadn’t made sense for him to be stationed in the rear to manage the logistics department, and there was also Thunder. It was only today that the Autumn Erudite learned that Thunder had been together with him not because the logistics department needed manpower, but because Thunder was keeping an eye on him!

What an enormous conspiracy! If Autumn Erudite had been on the front line, he would have easily detected that something was off, that the Devil Shadow Dragoons had been sold out and the Dark Moon Dragoons had all died, but the Holy Light Dragoons and Destiny Dragoons were almost completely unharmed!

Originally, they had agreed that the Fiend Race would move together with the Yggdragon’s Yang Clan, but at the last moment, the Yang Clan had some sort of family emergency and had to go back. For this reason, the Autumn Erudite loathed the Yang Clan, but now, it appeared that this had all been part of Azure Moon’s plot!

The Autumn Erudite’s heart was in chaos. He closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down.

“Autumn Erudite, Lord Azure Moon has already said that he still trusts you. So long as you are willing to personally take care of Xia Fei, Lord Azure Moon will agree to let you back in!” Thunder said to the Autumn Erudite loudly, still holding some kind intentions toward him.

Trust?

Autumn Erudite’s heart twitched when he heard these words. The most despicable and shameless guy in the universe wanted to talk about trust with him!? If he had known that this day would come, he would have rather died all the way back then!

Vandez sternly said, “Xia Fei knows too much, so he must die! We can still control him for now, so we’ve let him live, but if you’re not willing to do it, one of us will have to go.”

Autumn Erudite was startled. Vandez was right. Xia Fei was still alive because they wanted to see him kill Xia Fei with their own eyes. Otherwise, they just needed to destroy Britannia. One little Xia Fei wasn’t deserving of the attention of these bigshots.

“I want to see Azure Moon,” the Autumn Erudite stated.

“Killing Xia Fei is Lord Azure Moon’s only condition,” Vandez replied.

…

Seventy-two hours after Xia Fei entered the well in Britannia, the vast central plaza on the surface…

*Boom!*

With a mighty crash, a huge fissure opened up, and Xia Fei pursued a dark figure as they jumped out.

He was very fast, faster than all other speed warriors! A rainbow burst of light enveloped that fleeing warrior tightly, and then Xia Fei arrived and clove his foe in twain with the Fiendish Blade Nirvana!

Like a stone that had been kicked to pieces, the drained warrior turned into dust and scattered in the wind.

The fighting had been going on for three whole days. In these three days, the 29th Place had been annihilated! Zero Office had been annihilated! Countless hidden warriors were now buried in the underground city of Britannia.

A person in dire straits would often unleash unbelievable strength! In three days, Xia Fei had killed all his enemies, seizing all their energy! He was killing and cultivating crazily at the same time!

Xia Fei’s complexion was somewhat pale, and popping sounds like growing bamboo could be heard from his body. They were from the Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley! Spirit power had been infused into Xia Fei’s body, stimulating every cell, driving them to crazily split apart and grow!

The Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley was a kind of insane body cultivation method, and also an extremely effective one. Xia Fei was getting faster and faster! With his transcendent speed, he had all the initiative, even against opponents who were stronger than him!

After breaking through the first rank of the Chilled Ligament Ghost Valley, Xia Fei strode toward the second, but Xia Fei did not know how much time he had left.

“Britannia has no more people!?” Radix said grimly. “This might be the signal for the general assault!”

“It’s possible, but no matter what, we have to hold out until the final moment,” Xia Fei said, his eyes determined.

Xia Fei had to stay here. The Annihilators thought that it had imprisoned Xia Fei, preventing the news from spreading, but they had forgotten about Little Goldie!

As the king of dark space, Little Goldie was an extremely important ace for Xia Fei. In the most perilous of moments, Little Goldie could deliver messages for Xia Fei, and Xia Fei needed to stay here and delay the enemy.

“Look!” Radix suddenly pointed at the sky in shock.

Five comets descended, landing right across from Xia Fei!

*Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!*

Five booms, five people, and five deep craters.

Xia Fei’s heart suddenly constricted. These five people had extraordinary strength! They were most likely the Five Ancient Apexes from the Annihilation Universe!

They were here! The legendary Five Ancient Apexes were finally here!

Xia Fei looked at one of them and said, “It’s you?”

Coughing resounded through the empty plaza. Autumn Erudite was hunched over; it was clear that he was very weak. He wasn’t physically weak, but instead mentally frail to the extreme.

Autumn Erudite looked at Xia Fei and replied, “Yes, I am Zhiqiu, the Autumn Erudite. My surname is Ye.”

On the side, Vandez said, “Don’t waste time chattering. Kill him! Lord Azure Moon is waiting.”

Autumn Erudite glared at Vandez, his gaze sharpening. “I don’t need you to tell me what to do!”

Vandez was furious and prepared to argue with Autumn Erudite, but Thunder pulled him back. “Old Ye has already agreed. We just need to watch.”

Vandez grunted and turned away.

Xia Fei couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle. He lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep drag from it, and blew a smoke ring.

“What are you chuckling about?” Autumn Erudite asked.

“I’m laughing at this idiot Xiu Zetian and how he trusted you. I might as well report to you that the 29th Place and Zero Office of the Black Ops division battled in the underground city, and they’ve both been wiped out! I’m the only one who knows what’s going on. If you kill me, no one will know. Five Ancient Apexes? More like the five scoundrels!” Xia Laoshi said callously, his tone harsh.

Autumn Erudite’s body swayed at these words, and his face turned even whiter. He whispered, “I’ve let you down, let down all of the 29th Place…”

Xia Fei sneered, “My brothers of the 29th Place won’t have died in vain. I’ve already exterminated the Zero Office! Burying them along with my brothers! Autumn Erudite, what you’ve truly let down is the universe! This is a debt you will never be able to repay!”

The Autumn Erudite gnashed his teeth. Xia Fei’s harsh words aged him greatly, and the wrinkles on his face deepened.

“Don’t let him lead you astray! Xia Fei is a remnant of the Fiend Race! You need to kill him! Offer his head to Lord Azure Moon!” Vandez spat out.

Autumn Erudite let out a long sigh. He took a few steps toward Xia Fei and said, “My apologies. Today, I must take your life. Originally, since you were the last descendant of the Fiend Race, I planned to help you out, but in the end, I only ended up hurting you.”

Xia Fei erupted in laughter. Taking out the Fiend King Scepter and Fiend Lock, he sternly said, “First, my head in exchange for one of the Five Ancient Apexes is worth it! Second, in the past, I didn’t think that there was anything special about the Fiends, but today, I’m very proud of them!”

Everyone looked weirdly at him, and then they looked at Autumn Erudite. Autumn Erudite waved his hand and said, “All of you, stand aside. This is a matter between me and Xia Fei.”

Vandez and the others grimaced, but they retreated about a dozen kilometers, leaving the entire plaza for Xia Fei and the Autumn Erudite.

The Autumn Erudite extended his right hand to Xia Fei, gesturing at him to come over. “I heard you broke one hundred million meters per second? Can you let this old man experience it?”

“Alright!”

Xia Fei pressed his body to the ground and charged. A cold light shot forth!

Autumn Erudite lightly pushed out with his palm. The air became like an ocean, pushing Xia Fei back.

This move didn’t have much lethality, but it dropped Xia Fei’s speed. As Peacock Blue shot out from Xia Fei’s right arm, Autumn Erudite had already moved several steps to the side, just enough to dodge Xia Fei’s attack.

“There are not many methods that can be used to fight back against speed, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t any. Remember, speed is powerful because of its invincible offensive might! Offense is the only path speed types can embark on!” As Xia Fei and Autumn Erudite clashed, a voice rang out in Xia Fei’s ear.

“Just now, I condensed the energy in the air. It’s not hard to undo this move, but you first have to understand when I started to spread out my energy.”

Xia Fei was stunned. Autumn Erudite was clearly using a secret method to speak to him, but Xia Fei didn’t understand why he was doing this!

“Don’t stand around! Keep attacking me! Use your speed to create distance and then charge!” Autumn Erudite said. “Vandez and the others are watching. You don’t have much time!”

Xia Fei and Autumn Erudite were fighting, but strangely, the Autumn Erudite didn’t seem to want to kill Xia Fei. Rather, it was like he was giving Xia Fei a final lesson!

“The people of Annihilation have been crazily thinking of ways to exterminate the Fiend Race, and they’ve studied even the Broken Wing Sky Devil, Paletooth, countless times. You are the attacker and I am the defender, so things will be different from my point of view. You simply need to understand my mindset, and once you do, killing me will be easy.

“I don’t know what you’re planning, but from studying the data, I know that if this was Paletooth, if he encountered this sort of spatial condensation ability, he would first cut away at the perimeter of the air that I control!” Autumn Erudite spoke rapidly, not daring to waste even a second.

…

In the distance, Vandez, Si Zhe, Gregory, and Thunder observed the battle between the Autumn Erudite and Xia Fei.

Vandez spat on the ground and darkly said, “What’s the Autumn Erudite wasting time for!? Why doesn’t he use his secret art, Absolute Atrophy!?”

Thunder said, “Absolute Atrophy is the Autumn Erudite’s strongest secret art. He would probably feel ashamed if he had to use his ultimate move on only Xia Fei.”

“Then he wouldn’t be pushed back like this! I hate speed warriors! Xia Fei has already broken the limit, so he’ll be fighting for a long time if he doesn’t use the secret art,” Si Zhe said coldly.

Gregory frowned and asked, “Perhaps Autumn Erudite really has gotten old and can no longer be given any important tasks.”

Thunder was furious. “All of you understand how strong the Autumn Erudite really is! Moreover, it was Lord Azure Moon who decided to welcome the Autumn Erudite back into the fold. Are you questioning his decision!?”

“We would not dare,” Vandez coldly remarked. “We will naturally comply with Lord Azure Moon’s words, but there must be a limit. Ten minutes. If Autumn Erudite doesn’t end this battle in ten minutes, we will personally take action!”

Thunder suppressed his rage and just grunted coldly.

In this group of four, it was only Thunder who still remembered the friendship they once shared and supported Autumn Erudite. The others wanted nothing more than for Autumn Erudite and Xia Fei to die together!
