Chapter 847: Furball’s Promotion

The edge of Blood Crystal’s dark red blade was like a net, tightly enclosing the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood, which was being controlled by the Baynes twins, and not permitting even a drop of water to get through!

The Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood was made from a Nighthawk Superior Law Overlord, so it possessed astonishing footwork. It shifted and dodged around as elegantly as a butterfly flitting through the flowers to avoid Xia Fei’s knife.

In this battle that did not involve law power, body movement and speed were the true keys. The Nighthawks had been known as the Ghost Night Blade of the Demon Race, and their physical agility was very profound, but Xia Fei was from the Skywings and had inherited the Law of Speed. He moved at a lightning-fast speed and an even more well-developed reaction time.

With both sides using their ultimate skills, they fought to a draw!

The Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood was unable to escape Xia Fei’s encirclement, while Xia Fei was also unable to take the enemy’s life. As such, he could only attack with all his might!

However, Xia Fei did not immediately increase the force of his attack. Higher speeds meant greater control. He was currently trying to suppress the movements of the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood, not kill it.

There was no question that the Ghost Night Blade represented the highest standards of the Law Realm in many aspects, or else it would not have become one of the Demon Race’s blades in the past. Xia Fei did not care about the terrifying appearance of the puppet. He had seen far uglier things, so how could he be frightened by those bloodthirsty eyes?

What Xia Fei truly cared about was the puppet’s footwork. It was different from Crafty Approach, which relied on the body’s flexibility and the joints’ reverse movement to adjust the body’s balance forcefully and achieve an unfathomable movement.

Meanwhile, the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood’s body was rather stiff, and it dodged by relying on its footwork!

It did not have Xia Fei’s super speed or Crafty Approach and relied solely on the right position and time to dodge. This sort of skill left Xia Fei both curious and surprised!

On the perimeter of the Core Planet, the Baynes twins were so busy that they sweated profusely. Xia Fei was very different from what Secludeless described, which had brought them a lot of trouble.

Secludeless, Secluded Sophora, and Secluded Tune stared in shock at the Baynes twins. The sweat on their foreheads could only mean that the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood was in the middle of a tough battle!

What sort of ability did Xia Fei have that he could suppress the infamous Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood? The three kings of Secluded Springs did not know, nor did they want to know, but the Baynes twins’ actions had already shown them that Xia Fei was probably even stronger than they initially imagined!

“He learned the Eight hundred Nightsteps?!” Sein cried in alarm. The minds of the brothers were connected, so Dein heard what he had said.

In the space of a few minutes, Xia Fei had somehow learned the long-lost footwork technique of the Nighthawk Clan, the Eight hundred Nightsteps! Moreover, Xia Fei was using this footwork to deal with the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood!

This was using its own trick against it! Xia Fei’s footwork was not as perfect as the puppet’s, but he could learn!

Although Xia Fei was not as familiar with the Eight hundred Nightsteps as the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood and was even somewhat clumsy with them, he had already had an initial grasp of this top-class footwork technique. With just a little more practice, he could completely master it!

Xia Fei being a Skywing proficient in the methods of assassination had already given the Baynes twins one surprise. Now that Xia Fei had managed to learn the footwork of the Nighthawk Clan in such a short time, he had given them a second surprise!

“Use the Night Raksha!” shouted Dein!

“Alright!” Sein swiftly replied.

These brothers united could shatter the toughest metal!

The Baynes twins suddenly hugged each other, their foreheads meeting as their eyes turned savage!

In order for the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood to exhibit its maximum power, the controller needed to direct it more quickly and more accurately. When the two brothers worked in unison, they became similar to a multicore computer, and their calculation ability naturally soared. This was their unique and ultimate method for controlling puppets!

On the Core Planet, Xia Fei suddenly felt a heavy pressure!

His opponent had not been changed, but he had become faster, the scarlet gold, throat-slitting knives in his hands madly moving around like leaves in a gale, several times sharper than before!

The Night Raksha was the ultimate killing technique of the Nighthawk Clan, a fusion of the strongest footwork with the strongest, throat-slitting technique! Wherever the edge of the knife went, even an ant would cease to exist! It was powerful to an absurd level!

This was the ultimate power of the Ghost Night Blade!

As it was being controlled by another person, the blood puppet found it difficult to reach the maximum power it had in life. After all, there were too many interfering factors. However, the Baynes twins were having their brains work in unison, and the strengthened control was causing the puppet’s power to soar!

The balance of power began to shift!

Xia Fei went from offensive to defensive, the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood pressing him hard!

The human-shaped puppet appeared incredibly savage, like a human who had been flayed alive. Its skin was transparent, allowing one to see its blood vessels clearly.

Those scarlet eyes were turning purple and were beginning to shine with a strange luster!

Xia Fei did not know that this was a special sign that a Nighthawk was going all out!

Even though it was a puppet, the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood had a life force, and he was currently expending this life force the puppet had accumulated with great difficulty to improve himself!

The Baynes twins’ brains were also suffering. Making their brains work faster than normal left them in unbearable pain, and the main reason they hadn’t used all their power from the beginning was because it was too taxing.

Seeing that his master was falling behind, Furball began to urgently howl. He was a Holy Beast and specialized in energy attacks, and it was obvious that the Core Planet wasn’t a good place for Furball to battle. His energy attacks were so powerful that they were liable to detonate the ark fragment.

Even Peacock Blue could not use its power. Its grass blades were too long and broad, unable to keep up with the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood’s agile movements. Whenever it lunged out, its attacks would always miss.

Xia Fei had to rely on himself!

The dark red blade suddenly accelerated, becoming like a thousand blood lotuses blooming in unison!

This was the same move that the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood had used only a few moments ago!

The Baynes twins were dumbfounded. Xia Fei had not just learned the Nighthawk footwork but had even stolen the Ghost Night Blade’s style!

It was not easy to learn the techniques of others. The vast majority of clans would mix in feints and false movements into their techniques so that other people would be unable to learn them.

Simply imitating the other party’s movements would not get at the essence of the techniques; one had to see through the feints and comprehend the true meaning of the techniques first.

This was a systematic learning process, but Xia Fei had seen through his opponent in record time and stolen the true techniques!

There were tales that told of people who could learn anything with just a bit of study and succeed at anything with just a bit of practice. Xia Fei was exactly this sort of person!

This ability to improve himself in the middle of battle was simply heaven-defying!

The Baynes twins paled!

This was because a warrior having their techniques seen through was incredibly dangerous!

Xia Fei’s attacks became faster and faster, sharper and sharper, his blade like a shadow!

With a light smile on his lips, he saw through his opponent’s next move, which was his chance!

*Plush!*

*Plush!*

He stabbed two times into the chest of the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood, and the Baynes twins could only watch, unable to dodge!

It was impossible to describe the despair in their hearts, because while the Blood Crystal was absorbing the life force of the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood, it was devouring the minds of the Baynes twins!

The Blood Puppet shared a connection with its controller, and when the Blood Crystal absorbed the energy of the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood, like a chain reaction, it also absorbed the mental energy that the Baynes twins had imbued it with!

The Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood staggered, its energy draining so rapidly that it became unstable. In the distance, the Baynes twins were in even greater pain. It was as if someone had charged into their heads and was sucking out their brains!

‘A chance!’

Xia Fei suddenly stopped and then rushed over, stabbing his knife into the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood’s neck!

Death in a single strike!

What happened next was something that not even Xia Fei could have expected. Several seconds after the Blood Crystal began its frenzied devouring, the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood turned into a mummy, and even the Baynes twins controlling it were affected!

*Thud thud!*

The Baynes twins fell, one to the left and one to the right!

White froth came out of their mouths, their eyes turning over like dead fish as their bodies twitched in agony.

The cruel devouring of the Blood Crystal had pulped the brains of the Baynes twins!

Although they were not dead, they might as well be!

One killed and two crippled!

In this battle of the Ghost Night Blade versus the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade, Xia Fei had won a complete victory!

“Furball, hurry!” Xia Fei shouted. Furball had just been about to celebrate his master’s victory when he was called over to the latter’s side. This was because Xia Fei’s seventh brain region had begun to pulse intensely!

The Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood was made from a Ghost Night Blade’s Superior Law Overlord, while the distant Baynes twins had been part of the Dark Puppet species. These two different energies mixing in Xia Fei’s brain had also interacted with the energy of the ark fragment.

Different kinds of energy found it difficult to mix; moreover, this was the first time Xia Fei was absorbing someone else’s mental energy!

When he was cultivating, Xia Fei had maintained the rainbow ball of energy in his brain at eighty percent capacity, and now that he had taken the energy of the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood and two Great Law Emperors, his ball of energy was full. Thus, Xia Fei needed to release this energy immediately by feeding it to Furball.

Furball quickly jumped into Xia Fei’s palm. After which, Xia Fei began to transfer the energy in his brain region to Furball. As this energy decreased, the energy pulses began to calm down, and Xia Fei sighed in relief.

At this moment, Xia Fei realized to his shock that Furball had stopped eating. He was constantly burping as if too full!

‘Is he on the verge of his promotion?’ Xia Fei wondered to himself.

He had barely thought this when he saw something that made him shiver!

Furball was enveloped by a white halo, and he doubled in size and became taut.

*Rumble!*

Energy flooded out!

Furball was promoting! And in an extremely violent manner!

Secludeless was dumbfounded. As he watched the fallen two brothers twitch in agony, he knew that his plan to use the Baynes family so he could remove Xia Fei had failed!

“Aaarrrggghhh!”

Secludeless madly shouted. He did not understand how the puny Xia Fei had managed to destroy the infamous Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood!

It must be understood that Xia Fei was from the Skywings, while the Golden Puppet of Weeping Blood was made using a Nighthawk. The Skywings specialized in killing out in the open, while the Nighthawks specialized in killing from the darkness! The Skywings specialized in group tactics, while the Nighthawks specialized in duels!

It simply was not possible for a lone Skywing Great Law Emperor to have defeated a Nighthawk Superior Law Overlord!

Even though this Ghost Night Blade had been made into a puppet, it was still a very strong puppet!

His face turning green, Secludeless shouted toward the Core Planet at large, “Skywings! Accursed Skywings! I’ll kill you all!”

Suddenly—

The Core Planet was engulfed in a white light, and then rumbling explosions ensued!

Secludeless’ mouth dropped in shock. After all, the Core Planet was where the Ark fragment was located!

Had the Ark fragment exploded?!
