Chapter 1035: Robbery!

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The fiendish blade Nirvana was under Radix’s control, while Furball was an even craftier creature. When necessary, Xia Fei could completely let go and let them run freely.

However, Xia Fei had been feeling unsettled the entire time for some reason. Especially after entering the forest, this feeling only grew stronger.

This was why Xia Fei had sent Nirvana and Furball out on their own, letting them scout out ahead for any movement before reporting back immediately.

*Whoosh*

Furball and Nirvana silently stalked the dark night, disappearing without a trace. Xia Fei turned to the driver, Old Wang, and said, “Slow down. Enya is asleep, so let’s not wake her up. We’re in no rush to return to the city, anyway.”

Old Wang and Xiang Beiyang were both confused, but they did as was told. Xiang Beiyang, who had still not recovered from the earlier gathering of high society, animatedly discussed how powerful the head of the Red Dwarf Star, Tang Wannian, had been in his prime, including what he must do in order to become an existence comparable to such a powerful figure.

Whenever he reached an exciting point, Xiang Beiyang would almost dance in glee. Having reached his present social status from the lowest rung of society, he felt like nothing out there could stop him.

Xia Fei listened to him carelessly, while he kept his eyes peeled on his left and right. This was when he heard from Radix. Being Xia Fei’s soul weapon’s spirit, Radix had a far greater range compared to Phantom. While Phantom would dissipate after leaving five meters of Xia Fei’s body, Radix could maintain contact even if he was on a different planet, provided that there was no electromagnetic storm.

“It’s really as you guessed! Two individuals are indeed lying in wait to ambush you some five minutes away. One of them is a Primary Soul Hunter, and the other is someone you’ve previously met. He’s that hunter with a thin mustache who Xiang Beiyang hired,” Radix whispered this to Xia Fei.

Xia Fei was surprised, “Xiang Beiyang’s man?”

He turned his head and asked directly, “Boss Xiang, on our return from the asteroid belt, there was this man with a small mustache of decent cultivation with you. Is he under your employment?”

Xiang Beiyang chuckled sheepishly. “You mean Fu Yong? He’s considered quite the renowned individual in the hunter profession, so his fees are high. It’s not worth keeping someone like him as a retainer for long, so I only hire him when I really need his service, giving a one-time payment each time.”

Xia Fei nodded. It was fine since Xiang Beiyang turned out not to be that person’s employer. If so, he would not even hesitate to turn Boss Xiang into a corpse right there and then.

Xiang Beiyang immediately continued speaking. “Fu Yong is working for Tai Ning’s company, and they are more powerful than I am. Even if I want to recruit him, he may not agree. Xia Fei, why are you suddenly asking about him?”

Xia Fei did not answer, but his heart surged!

Since Fu Yong worked at that company, then it meant that he was Tai Ning’s man!

After he had disgraced Tai Ning today by snatching Enya, it only made sense that Tai Ning would be displeased. It was just that Xia Fei had not expected him to take his revenge so soon!

Glancing at Enya, a vague killing intent from his inner demon pervaded his body, and then his two eyes gradually turned red.

In a sense, Boss Tai was quite unlucky. While it was true that Fu Yong worked for him, this matter really did not concern him at all. On Red Dwarf Star, which magnate did not have a host of helpers to their name? Fu Yong was under Tai Ning’s, but this robbery was not his idea at all.

“So do you want me to kill those two?” asked Radix.

The corner of Xia Fei’s mouth curled into a vicious sneer. “When removing weed, it is an imperative for us to pull out the roots as well. Since Tai Ning has made his move against me, he’s now my enemy, and all enemies must die! Wait for my order later. I’m not letting the minnow go, and the mastermind behind this will die too!”

“Alright! I’ve already despised Tai Ning for bullying a girl barely in her teens. He truly deserves to die!” Radix rubbed his palms together eagerly.

Xia Fei shook his head in disagreement. “You’re mistaken. The mastermind isn’t Tai Ning.”

Radix was surprised. “Not Tai Ning, but who else could it be?”

“Tai Ning’s father,” Xia Fei answered. “You forgot. During tonight’s banquet, when I asked for Enya and Tai Ning refused, what did Tang Wannian say?”

Radix thought about it for a moment and replied hesitantly, “‘This matter is now settled. I’ll naturally speak to your father about this.’”

“That’s right!” said Xia Fei. “If she’s Tai Ning’s servant, why would Tang Wannian have to tell Tai Ning’s father about her? Also, Tai Ning accepted this, almost as if he’s not afraid of letting his father know about this scandalous matter. It just showed that Tai Ning doesn’t want Enya; it’s his mysterious father who hasn’t shown his face that does.”

Radix was shocked. Xia Fei’s analysis was very sharp; just from this one line and the slightest expression, he had gotten a clear picture of this matter’s ins and outs.

Thus, it could be seen that, though he was in the Alpha Universe, Xia Fei’s analytical skills were still as strong as ever! There was nothing that could escape his eyes!

…

“They’re here and about to enter our attack range!” Fu Yong said this in a low voice while hiding in the forest. “Master Jin, we must end this quickly; strive to end the battle within a minute!”

Jin Hanzhuang forced himself to focus. He had been imagining himself as someone rich, holding onto women in both arms as he enjoyed his life immensely.

“Don’t you worry. Xia Fei, Xiang Beiyang, and that driver Old Wang, all three of them hardly have any cultivation to speak of. A single Soul Art of mine is enough to send them to their graves.” Jin Hanzhuang flexed his wrist and scoffed.

“Don’t forget; Xia Fei has the Holy beast Shatterstar. That isn’t easy to deal with.” Fu Yong reminded Jin Hanzhuang of this.

“Just a Holy beast, and it’s not even fully grown. It can’t deal with the both of us.”

Soon, Xiang Beiyang’s hovercar arrived at this forest that the two were hiding in. Jin Hanzhuang adopted a stance and then thrust his two hands forward forcefully, unleashing half a Soul Shade!

Soul Shade was an intermediate combat Soul Art. Jin Hankuang lacked the the strength to use it fully andn could only send out a flawed Soul Shade, two thirds weaker than a proper Soul Shade, so even calling it half a Soul Shade was too much.

Their plan was very simple: Kill everyone in the hovercar all at once, then clean up the traces of battle, take Xia Fei’s spatial ring before fleeing the scene.

It was not a bad plan, for a spatial ring could be sensed, and anyone who had cultivated the Law of Space could very easily locate them. Also, due to the spatial barrier, there was no way for this attack to ruin the spatial ring. It would be blown away at most.

*Whoosh*

The transparent figure appeared, and this half Soul Shade went flying out!

Xiang Beiyang and Old Wang practically fainted in fright. A soul attack was not just powerful but was also very scary. Seeing a half-Soul Shade was no different from seeing a half-demon appear.

At that moment, Xia Fei flicked his wrist and unleashed a Soul Shade as well!

*Boom*

This Soul Shade tore the hovercar’s front half and went hurtling right for Jin Hanzhuang’s half Soul Shade!

Soul Shade versus Soul Shade!

Jin Hanzhuang’s Soul Shade was just half, while Xia Fei’s Soul Shade was formed from an Inverse’s soul. It was not only complete but was also horrific down to its bones!

*Kaboom*

The two Soul Shades collided, and Jin Hanzhuang’s Soul Shade dissipated instantly!

“Crap!” Jin Hanzhuang was pallid. Never had he expected that he would run into an opponent here of all places! From the strength of Xia Fei’s attack, he could tell that the latter was many times stronger!

Before Jin Hanzhuang could even react!

Two chilling gleams of light shot out from the trees behind them!

One was the fiendish blade Nirvana and the other was Furball!

Nirvana spun rapidly, cleaving Jin Hanzhuang with precision into halves! His lifetime of cultivation got absorbed by Nirvana!

As for Furball, he did not even execute any killer move. All he did was headbutt Fu Yong, sending him sailing in mid-air.

*Bang*

Like a human bomb, Fu Yong was sent flying out in an arc. He frantically tried to regain his balance in the air so that he could escape. Seeing Jin Hanzhuang killed in an instant, even Fu Yong understood that he had provoked someone whom he could not afford to provoke!

*Whoosh*

Eleven huge bluegrass blades appeared in the air and caught him! Like hitting a baseball, Furball was the batter and Peacock Blue was the catcher.

The hovercar lost control because it got damaged, hurling right into the trees and catching fire. Old Wang and Xiang Beiyang had been pulled out by Peacock Blue, and Enya was in Xia Fei’s arms once more.

*Thud*

Fu Yong was plucked from the air and tossed to the ground.

Xia Fei pointed at Fu Yong and asked, “This man is from the Tai family?”

Old Wang and Xiang Beiyang, who had been frozen from fear and who had no idea of what Xia Fei was doing, obediently nodded their heads repeatedly.

“Well done, Tai Ning, actually daring to engage in daylight robbery!” Xia Fei hissed through gritted teeth.

Fu Yong was nonplussed. He did not know how his actions had implicated Boss Tai, but he could not care less about anyone else. What mattered was how he could escape with his life!

Getting up, Fu Yong was about to make a run for it when a huge bluegrass blade fell from the sky, a move that instantly knocked him out cold!

“Boss Xiang, call your men to guard you here; I’ll be right back.” Xia Fei carried Enya and turned back the way they had come from.

Xiang Beiyang hurriedly called over some guards from home once he returned to his senses.

“I heard the Tai Family had slain your family. Is it true?” Xia Fei asked Enya.

Enya had no idea what was going on. At that moment, she was staring at Xia Fei with awed eyes. A Soul Hunter! Enya had just discovered that Xia Fei was actually a Soul Hunter!

“Don’t be afraid. After tonight, there won’t be a Tai family on Red Dwarf Star,” assured Xia Fei in a low voice.

…

Xia Fei once said, “I’m not one to hold grudges normally, because I take revenge on the spot.”

The matter today was a textbook example of this. Letting Fu Yong escape was not Xia Fei showing sympathy for the worm; rather, he needed a witness. It was easy for him to just finish his business and leave, but Xiang Beiyang and Enya still needed to keep living on Red Dwarf Star.

This was why Xia Fei had intentionally left the aggrieved Fu Yong alive. The man should testify that it was the Tai family who had first attacked him, and he was merely retaliating.

Inside a secret room, Tai Ning stood with both hands at his side, a pathetic look on his face. Meanwhile, the elder lying in a supine position right across him was burying his face into the breasts of a female servant. He did not spare Tai Ning even the slightest glance, despite Tai Tingyu being his father.

The son saw his father being absurd, but this matter itself was very absurd, though they had long been accustomed to this here in the Tai Family.

“Enya is of great use to me. Borrow someone from your fourth uncle and settle this matter,” Tai Tingyu’s hands were busy fondling the woman before him as he spoke calmly, causing the servant to let out moans and gasps as she was teased.

“Understood! I’m off now to find fourth uncle!” said Tai Ning forcefully, turning to leave that room full of debauchery.

This was when a Tai family guard bolted in, his expression bewildered, colliding with Tai Ning’s chest in his rush to report!

“What are you in a rush for?” Tai Ning slapped the person across his cheeks.

“Master, there’s trouble! Someone is killing his way onto our property!” That guard immediately knelt and reported this without a retort.
