Chapter 1173: Identity Revealed
Xia Fei’s attack was an unstoppable and frenzied offensive!
The shocking scene in the sky was such that every person who saw it was awed. The Soul Eye array, which was ten kilometers long, came down like a meteor!
A Soul Eye being used to chase someone down was naturally very threatening, but using it as a weapon to smash someone was even more practical and barbaric!
*Rumble!*
The golden Soul Eye array entered full operation!
Those flowing patterns began to spin rapidly, and with the powerful support of Immemorial Mystical Armament Peacock Blue, Xia Fei seized the overwhelming advantage in this contest! In the blink of an eye, Terror Genesis was routed, and with that, Shui Shengsheng’s Chaos Water Swiftblade was defeated, too.
The sky above Shui Shengsheng had turned pitch-black. This soul array was no joke. Moreover, behind the golden Soul Eye was Peacock Blue, which was not easy to deal with, either. The way it was being thrust down from the sky to strike Shui Shengsheng, given Xia Fei’s speed, could easily shatter bones.
Shui Shengsheng hastily raised his hands above him, attempting to assist his water-type mystical armament just like what Xia Fei had done. While this might be unable to stop Xia Fei’s frenzied assault, it could divert the attack off its expected trajectory.
This was when Shui Shengsheng discovered, to his surprise, that something was approaching him on his left. As he took a look, he found out that it was that inconspicuous little ball, which had been at Xia Fei’s side.
How could Furball miss out on this battle?!
Furball was a very treacherous guy. He had waited until this moment, when Xia Fei had the absolute advantage, to make his move. His two green bean eyes had gone round as he moved as fast as lightning! With his small body, Shui Shengsheng had not noticed this enormous threat until it was right next to him!
At that moment, Furball was less than five meters from Shui Shengsheng; it was a distance that could be covered in a split second!
Radiating white light, Furball slammed into Shui Shengsheng!
*Ptoo!*
It was a very strange sound. Rather than a collision, it sounded like a stone being thrown into a pond.
Upon taking a second look, it turned out that Furball had gone through Shui Shengsheng’s chest, and black water was flowing out from the wound!
This was the top-class soul art of the Serene Jadewater Clan, Soulmerge, also known as the Life-Water Transfiguration Art. Simply put, it was a skill that turned a person into water, a high-level modified version of the Law of Matter.
The Law of Matter could only change objects, not life itself.
The human body was 90% water, and the Soulmerge Art used this attribute to molecularly reassemble the body.
Life-Water Transfiguration was extremely difficult. After all, turning the human body into water was one thing, but turning it back was another thing entirely. If one was not careful, they might end up putting their head on their butt, which was both humiliating and fatal.
Shui Shengsheng was very talented and had mastered this powerful technique at a young age. He had used the Life-Water Transfiguration to avoid Furball’s attack and come out completely unharmed!
It was a beautiful move, but Shui Shengsheng did not seem very happy about it at all, for Furball’s sneak attack had caused Terror Genesis and Chaos Water Swiftblade’s defense to completely fall apart. That ten-kilometer castle in the sky was right overhead! It came down with all the weight of Mount Tai! Further resistance was now too late!
This was Xia Fei’s attack! The combo attack that he was so skilled at!
*Whoosh!*
With no other choice, Shui Shengsheng activated his Life-Water Transfiguration Art to the fullest extent. The ground instantly turned into a lake, and he fled underwater.
*Rumble!*
The massive Soul Eye smashed into the lake, sealing off the entire area!
The greatest function of the Life-Water Transfiguration Art, besides offense, was its ability to hide underwater and avoid enemy attacks. Alas, Xia Fei’s Soul Eye was just too huge, so huge it had far surpassed the pool created by the Life-Water Transmigration Art. In this way, Xia Fei had sealed his opponent underwater! In other words, Shui Shengsheng was trapped in the soul array!
Golden light exploded!
The golden Soul Eye array rapidly began to turn and tighten! One second later, it became a giant net, and with a raise of his right arm, Xia Fei left this net, together with the surrounding earth.
*Rumble!*
The earth cracked apart. The astounding power of the golden Soul Eye made it into a mega-excavator. With one scoop, it created a crater ten kilometers in depth!
He once more formed that profound smile. All he had done was for this moment. He had now completed the capture of Shui Shengsheng!
The golden soul array closed rapidly, and a few seconds later, it had become a ball of only one hundred cubic meters!
Although Shui Shengsheng had done his best to fight back, the Soul Eye was just too powerful and Xia Fei’s moves were just far too weird, and he had been caught completely off guard
“Law of Primal Chaos!”
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei rushed up, Law of Primal Chaos force building up in his hand. He then aimed a furious barrage at the golden Soul Eye, several thousand punches in the space of a second!
*Bang!*
The golden Soul Eye shattered as if it had been struck by a giant hammer; mud, water, and blood splattered everywhere!
Just like that, the strongest genius of the Serene Jadewater Clan died, not even leaving behind an intact corpse!
…
On a distant mountain slope.
“No way! I can’t believe Shui Shengsheng lost!” Tian Jing was stunned, his brows creasing as disbelief appeared on his face.
Zesyr Night excitedly jumped around. Grinning at Tian Jing, she said, “Not only did he lose, he even died!”
“How could that be? How could Shui Shengsheng lose to some nobody! Something is wrong here! Very wrong!” muttered Tian Jing. He still had not recovered from the shock and was still trying to convince himself of the reality he had just borne witness to.
Less than half a minute had passed since Xia Fei’s attack. One of the Six Treasures, the genius of the Serene Jadewater Clan, and the master of Immemorial Mystical Armament Terror Genesis as well as top-class soul weapon Chaos Water Swiftblade, was unable to last even half a minute against Xia Fei… It was just too shocking!
Just moments ago, they had even been talking about how Xia Fei would be unable to even last a single round. Barely after they had finished speaking, Xia Fei killed Shui Shengsheng and gave them all vicious slaps in their faces.
Not just Tian Jing, everyone else had rather unsightly expressions, all except for Zesyr Night, who was looking rather smug.
Qiu Yang swallowed heavily and then said gravely, “I must admit that Xia Fei is very strong!”
“Could he be stronger than Shui Shengsheng? He was a level 7 Soul Hunter, the strongest genius of the Serene Jadewater Clan! I really can’t understand it! How did Shui Shengsheng lose to the extent of dying?” Anzu Night said in frustration. The children of big clans rather held their pride dearly. Before this, he had been very pessimistic about Xia Fei’s chances, and so Xia Fei’s victory had brought shame on Anzu Night.
Qiu Yang smiled, his eyes turning sharp and sinister, completely at odds with his age.
“A level 7 Soul Hunter? Could it be that none of you were able to tell? Xia Fei is a Spiritualist—a combat Spiritualist with at least three Soul Marks! Don’t let that murderous aura fool you; just moments ago, what he had used was none other than typical spirit energy! He used at least twenty spirit energy units in one go!” Qiu Yang said solemnly.
His eyes were truly sharp. In that battle, Xia Fei had unleashed fiend energy and murderous aura, and with his insane speed and vicious moves, everyone else’s attention had been completely drawn to only the surface, completely ignoring the nature of his power. This was spirit energy, which was an entire level above soul power!
Alas, despite the sharpness of Qiu Yang’s gaze, he had been unable to see through Xia Fei entirely. Xia Fei did not have three Soul Marks, but four!
“A Spiritualist! Big Brother Xia is a Spiritualist?!” Zesyr Night jumped high as she shouted. She even spoke the words ‘big brother’ with great pleasure.
The others stared, their shock reaching maximum saturation!
The Six Celestial Treasures were all beloved by their respective clans, and they had risked coming to the Collapsed Expanse of Founders precisely because they sought a chance to become Spiritualists!
Compared to Xia Fei, who was already a Spiritualist, these so-called geniuses really could not beat him. This was because everyone knew that this universe belonged to Spiritualists!
Suddenly, everyone felt like Shui Shengsheng’s death had not been undeserved at all. Provoking a Spiritualist was unwise no matter who did it. This change in attitude was so abrupt that even they were caught off guard.
After a pause, Qiu Yang said in a hushed voice, “Xia Fei saw through Shui Shengsheng from the very start. He attacked from the air to avoid Shui Shengsheng’s power to control the earth. While he might’ve put away that powerful whitebone sword of his, he took out a terrifying golden Soul Eye in exchange, and with that formidable plant on his right arm, he created a new offensive array!”
“A Soul Eye!”
Everyone was shocked again. Even among Spiritualists, Soul Eyes were rare objects. These young masters who had not arisen from any Spiritualist lineages had never even seen one before. Once Qiu Yang revealed the truth, everyone felt their hearts quake. The books said that Soul Eyes were powerful one-time-use soul arrays, each one essentially priceless. For Xia Fei to have used one without hesitation could only mean that he had plenty of them!
“There’s that little ball that came out of nowhere, too. It’s a Holy Beast!” Qiu Yang added.
The reaction this time was not too intense, for they were already numb. White Dragon’s Screech, Peacock Blue, and the golden Soul Eye, any of those was stunning enough, and Furball was just another one to the pile. It could only be said that Xia Fei had a lot of weapons in his arsenal.
“You should probably all understand now, right? Xia Fei is a rare top-class speed warrior, and he’s also a Spiritualist! Besides that, he has countless powerful weapons, a ruthless fighting style, and bizarre moves. Let alone Shui Shengsheng, none of us will be able to win,” Qiu Yang shook his head and said.
Xia Fei had powerful analytical abilities, but Qiu Yang was able to match him, which was quite rare.
Everyone fell silent. Qiu Yang’s analysis was right on the mark. This was the truth. Xia Fei’s strength was not just what could be seen on the surface. He was still holding too much back.
As they shot Xia Fei unnatural gazes, they saw him bend down and pick something off the ground. He wiped it clean on his clothes and then smiled as he put it away in his spatial ring. It was none other than the Shui family’s soul weapon, Chaos Water Swiftblade.
Suddenly—
Xia Fei turned toward the group standing in the distance and smiled harmlessly, but this smile instantly had Tian Jing and the others breaking into a cold sweat.
Only Qiu Yang returned a smile, but the hands hidden behind his back had clenched into fists by then.
