Chapter 1325: Strength Versus Speed
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
*Boom!*
Spirit Energy flooded the supplementary weapon Fiend Tear, and the transparent jewel instantly glowed brightly. Xia Fei then proceeded to slot it onto the thin Fiend Lock, causing the Fiend Soul Weapon to explode with one million units of Spirit Energy!
*Whoosh!*
The moment it was complete, Xia Fei came dashing out from his hiding spot, heading right toward the formation of a thousand Destiny Dragoons, hitting his top speed of thirty million meters per second as he did so.
The Blueblood warriors were in a straight line formation, and every warrior stood about a kilometer apart from the next. Everyone saw Xia Fei and thought he was about to mount a forceful assault since their formation was too spread out, and they lacked the ability to coordinate with one another.
!!A speed warrior with killing intent and his fiendish aura on full display. He was even holding onto a divine weapon that was burgeoning with energy! The scene struck great fear into the hearts of those Blueblood warriors!
Fiend Lock was like a shiny tail, carving out a perfect oblique cut behind Xia Fei as he sped forward, like a whip that was flicking outward!
“You came just at the right time!” You Man bellowed. He broke away from the formation and threw out his right arm with a punch into thin air!
*Roar!*
Everyone saw a flaming bird shot out from You Man’s right arm. The five elemental Immemorial Mystical Armaments did not consist of only one part, and required their owner to first choose one as the main body, just like how Xia Fei used the most tenacious weed, Peacock Blue, as the main body for the Plant elemental Immemorial Mystical Armament, Cloudsea.
The Five Flames of Lux Gloria were Rending Yang Fire, Fire of Sorrow, Fire of Linked Sound, Wolf Butcher Blaze, and Empty Valley Conflagration!
The one acting as the main body was currently Fire of Linked Sound!
The flaming bird flew through the air as it let out a screeching, sounding like the planet itself had exploded!
Stranger still was that every explosive cry caused the fire bird to accelerate even more!
The sound came from the Immemorial Mystical Armament’s driving force, and its shape was because it had already combined with the other fire Mystical Armaments and was now filled with spirit!
This was a frightening sight. It looked just like a phoenix from the legends rising from its ashes!
An invisible enemy was the most frightening, and that was precisely what Fire of Linked Sound was. It might look like the living embodiment of flames, but behind it hid the fatal aural attack. Xia Fei could not even tell, between the fire and sound, just which was the deadliest to him!
*Boom!*
Xia Fei suddenly came to a stop. The force of inertia that came from such an abrupt braking from high speed was immense. Xia Fei dove into the sand, and the grains of sand he kicked up flew all over the place!
He used his speed to create a sandstorm, it was just that the effect of Xia Fei’s top speed ended up elevating the sandstorm’s scale and lethality to unimaginable degrees!
At the same time, Fiend Lock did not stop! Xia Fei’s emergency braking only caused the thunder god’s whip to become even faster. He drew out a perfect semi-circle, and everyone that was caught in its radius died as Fiend Lock swept through them!
“Fool! Do you think that sand is enough to block my flame attack? Go to Hell!” You Man yelled as he placed both of his hands together, making a shoving motion.
With a rumbling, black dust was unleashed from his hands.
No. it was not dust. There were actually countless insects!
The first wave of attack was his fire elemental assault, and the second was the Soul Eating Black Beetles. You Man also did combination attacks!
It was the flaming bird in the front, and the cloud of black beetles behind. They formed an arrow of two distinct colors, flying over in the direction where Xia Fei was standing.
Meanwhile, Xia Fei’s Fiend Lock was sweeping his flanks, and the sandstorm he had stirred up through his emergency stop was in front of him in response.
Just as the sandstorm was about to crash right into the fire bird Lux Gloria had formed, You Man suddenly drummed his hands on the ground like a gorilla!
With a great boom, the entire desert stirred into a frenzy!
The sea of sand within a hundred square miles turned into fountains; countless amounts of sand and dirt was spurting out from underground!
What great strength! A single punch from You Man had practically gouged a crater in the planet!
This was the strength that the Blueblood Royal Clan Man was famous for!
Strength and speed were actually the most common special abilities across the Universes, but they were also the most difficult two!
Upon reaching a certain standard, Strength and Speed became impossibly difficult to improve, and seeing a warrior highly proficient in either was a truly rare sight!
The Skywings were the rare speed-based clan, while the Blueblood Man Royals were the rare strength-based clan!
These two clans had taken the most ordinary but also the most difficult special abilities and developed them to an incredible degree!
It was not just the sand and dirt in the desert, even the Blueblood warriors beside You Man were sent flying!
Only You Man stood tall, as stable as Mount Tai, before subsequently continuing his charge forward!
Strength and speed actually shared certain common aspects with one another, as accelerating would naturally require the strength of a warrior, since it would take great strength to support the body when achieving high speeds. A strong body was needed to properly use strength, allowing people to instantly explode with astonishing bursts of power!
The entire desert, and every warrior, all descended into chaos. Only You Man, with his blue body towering over two meters, came sprinting right for Xia Fei at a speed of close to three million meters per second!
Such a tactic was indubitably the application of an aggressive all-out assault that sought to shatter everything before it! He was charging at his enemy by relying on his brute strength!
In scant few milliseconds, You Man executed four martial technique moves, each very powerful on its own rights. His strongest trump card had not been the fire elemental Immemorial Mystical Armament, or the shocking attack that made the entire desert shudder, but You Man’s own melee skills!
Xia Fei was a speedster, and anyone who allowed Xia Fei to drag them into close combat would be no different from entangling themselves with a ghost!
*Tap tap tap*
You Man took big strides with each step, each one with enough force to make the very ground shake! The burly man’s figure was similar to a blue tower, completely unafraid of the sand and dirt that swirled madly around. He plunged head first into the sandstorm, searching for a chance to get in close combat proximity with Xia Fei!,
This was entirely due to the tactics Bluebloods employed. Because the Bluebloods had two bodies, and the energy soulgem beneath their skin was of such purity that their actual selves would not be hurt by flesh wounds, the more chaotic a battlefield Bluebloods found themselves in, the more beneficial it would be for them!
With a rumble, the entire vast desert descended into chaos!
….
“What? Where are you?!” You Man bellowed loudly. He had seen Xia Fei executing his powerful moves, but it was just too bad that there was no trace of Xia Fei anywhere.
You Man froze and looked behind him incredulously.
The fire Immemorial Mystical Armament on his arm had informed him that Xia Fei was behind him!
You Man was perplexed. Could Xia Fei know magic? How else could he have evaded the human wall and appeared behind him?
*Bang!*
A single figure leapt out from the sands. It was none other than Xia Fei!
“Detestable speedsters!” You Man grumbled under his breath at Xia Fei’s cunning.
All of a sudden, You Man was shocked.
He realized that the desert was rapidly collapsing, with where Xia Fei was standing as the point of origin! He looked like he was falling into a bottomless pit, with large swathes of desert being sucked into a black hole, along with the insect eggs that You Man had previously sown!
“What’s going on?!” You Man watched carefully, only to find Xia Fei appeared to be stepping on air. He had no idea when Xia Feei had opened up an entrance to Dark Space!
The grains of sand that made up this desert could flow freely, and with how large the black hole was, it had turned into a whirlpool that was seemingly sweeping away the sand dunes that once stood as tall as mountains.
“Heavens! He’s removing the desert!” a Blueblood warrior gasped in sheer astonishment.
This was the power of Little Goldie!
You Man might be able to sow all the insect eggs he liked, all so he could control the desert, but Xia Fei had retaliated by opening a channel to Dark Space, removing the desert directly!
No matter how formidable those Soul Eating Black Beetles were, the beast that was Dark Space had just very easily swallowed them all!
Rather than dealing with the loathsome bugs, Xia Fei chose to send them on an express ride to their deaths!
Little Goldie had demonstrated the extremely frightening aspect of its prowess; its golden body trembled constantly as it unleashed its spatial control ability. That portal that opened up to the black hole was growing larger and larger, and almost half of the endless desert had been devoured!
Black hole! A vacuum similar to a black hole had appeared on the Evaluation Battlefield!
The black beetles could not fly, and could only menacingly threaten Xia Fei from afar, but they had no choice but to follow along the flow of the desert sand. The insects that had just hatched had no choice but to retreat.
You Man gnashed his teeth and shouted, “CRAFTY HUMAN! I WILL KILL YOU!”
*Zing!*
High-grade war armors were all capable of flight, and You Man very domineeringly charged toward Xia Fei!
When You Man reached the edge of the desert, a bridge suddenly appeared under his feet. It was actually formed by those Soul Eating Black Beetles, a black bridge formed from the bodies of these insects!
Xia Fei was flabbergasted. He had not expected the bugs to actually be so obedient, and to actually have the intelligence to work together!
*Bang!*
Furball had shrouded himself with energy, and came hurtling past from behind You Man sinisterly. He crashed through the bridge of bugs upon impact, attempting to sever You Man’s road.
But the Soul Eating Black Beetles very quickly formed back up together again!
Being small in size had its benefits. The insects were like ants, and it was very difficult to completely eradicate them. Xia Fei chose to fight in Dark Space precisely because he wanted to avoid the abominable bugs. But now it looked like Xia Fei’s strategy was only seventy percent effective, since the insects were gradually forming up to surround him.
Thin black lines that looked like a spider’s web extended, with the insect in front biting the next one tightly, while those insects behind were stepping on another’s insect’s body as they moved inwards.
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei’s Fiend Lock came cleaving down from the sky, trying to smack You Man into Dark Space. As long as he could force You Man in, Little Goldie would be able to quickly close the entrance, allowing Xia Fei to beat the dog behind closed doors! Using the specialities of his many trump cards and aides beside him, he could kill him in one fell swoop!
Fiend Lock with its one million units of energy was absolutely spectacular! It arched like a rainbow in the sky that was smashing down hard to the ground!
*Swoosh!*
The strength-based warrior You Man was a lot more agile than most of his kind. Although having a speed that was below that of Xia Fei, his dexterity and nimbleness could actually rival Xia Fei’s!
His figure became illusory, momentarily appearing on the left side, at times appearing on the right. He made it very difficult for the flexible Fiend Lock to do anything about him!
*Kaboom!*
Fiend Lock struck something, and a blue figure was already flying halfway through the air!
It was a very strange blue color!
You Man had shed his Blueblood outer body, and had turned into his humanoid crystal form!
Most Bluebloods were short and squat, and would appear to be like little sprites after they shed their outer bodies, barely reaching Xia Fei’s knee in height.
But You Man was a descendant of the Blueblood Royal Clan Man, who looked even taller and mightier in his crystalline form!
Furthermore, the fire elemental Immemorial Mystical Armament was embedded in his arm!
This strange blue figure with a flaming red arm made You Man look very mystical as he flew through the air!
*Bang!*
The ability that the Bluebloods were the most proud of, the great strength that was found in the Man Royalty bloodline, as well as the fiery Immemorial Mystical Armament and killing sound that the Fire of Linked Sound gave off, were all working in unison!
This was a singular blow, with a powerful momentum behind them!
“Nice timing!”
Xia Fei, who was similarly an expert in close combat, was not about to back down. He gripped his Fiendish Blade Nirvana in hand and flung it out like a thunderbolt!
The original crystalline form of the Bluebloods was extremely sturdy, and the most effective method was to face that hardness head on!
As long as Xia Fei could split You Man’s Soulgem with Nirvana, even if it was just the tiniest crack, it would then be able to devour his lifeforce!
You Man and Xia Fei were both putting their all into their attack, strength versus speed. This was the clash between the peak forms of close combat!
No one noticed that as the desert was getting swallowed into Dark Space, a very peculiar substance began to appear from beneath the sands. It was something that had been covered under the dunes for eons!
