Chapter 690: Phoenix Tail Stone’s Complete Form!
A battle between experts was like walking on thin ice. Xia Fei did not listen to Oro’s words and charged over. Instead, he opted to observe Quinn and sought the best opportunity to strike.
Phoenix Tail Stone revolved faster and faster, leaving behind a long trail of flames.
“Hahahaha!” Quinn burst into laughter. He pointed behind Xia Fei at Seth and smiled. “I recognized you now! You’re that fellow whom I almost killed a month ago! If I wasn’t feeling unwell that day, you wouldn’t have survived! I didn’t think that you had truly listened to me and sold yourself into slavery. In truth, I can’t recklessly move around with this body, so I was just threatening you.”
Seth’s face was ashen. He had no idea that Quinn was just trying to scare him. In his eyes, this had been some peerless expert, and if he did not follow his orders, he might suddenly die one day. Experts always had their ways of pursuing their enemies, and hiding from them was very difficult.
“Is that something you can be concerned about right now? I sincerely follow my master! He’s the strongest warrior I’ve ever met! I… admire him! I’m willing to die for him!” Seth decided to go for broke. His only option right now was to tie himself to Xia Fei and show Xia Fei how loyal he was. That was the only way he would have a possibility of a good future.
However, Seth’s flattery was too lacking, and Xia Fei’s face slightly reddened. Furball was smart, fawning on Xia Fei whenever he had time. While Xia Fei treated Furball very strictly, this clever little ball still liked him a lot.
Surprisingly, Quinn laughed even harder. He pointed at Xia Fei and asked, “Him? A reckless and ignorant apothecary with just a little law force? Are you blind? His cultivation clearly isn’t that high, yet you recognized him as your master.”
Seth was startled. It was true that he could not tell what Xia Fei’s actual cultivation was. As a native warrior of the Exiled Grounds, Seth was sorely lacking in experience and vision compared to Quinn. After all, Quinn had been a genius that the Lionheart Royalty had gone to great lengths just to train. He could tell at a glance that Xia Fei, while very ruthless, had yet to reach Law Emperor.
“Ignore this evil beast! Level has never decided everything! Your battle experience and methods are on par with Quinn’s!” Oro hated Quinn to his bones, so he pumped up Xia Fei.
“Let’s make a wager. I only need one strike to take his life.”
Quinn’s body erupted with killing intent. He lived up to his status as an elite member of the Lionheart Royalty, for he was much stronger than Colin of the Sheperdians!
Seth shivered and backed away two steps, but Xia Fei was unperturbed as he continued to look for a chance to strike.
“I won’t let all of you die so easily, though. I’m quite interested in this Master Ah Fei, so I’m prepared to keep him alive and investigate him slowly,” Quinn sinisterly added.
As he spoke, Quinn struck!
*Whoosh~*
Phoenix Tail Stone shot toward Xia Fei, leaving a long trail of embers! It moved with such incredible speed that it left behind afterimages!
Each Immemorial Mystical Armament had its own strong points and attributes. Phoenix Tail Stone’s attributes were speed and sharpness! Compared to the other three earth-element mystical armaments, Phoenix Tail Stone was the closest to metal!
It was a blade! An incredibly tough divine weapon with a mind of its own, capable of seeking on its own any opportunities in battle!
“Crafty Approach!”
When it came to speed, neither Xia Fei nor Furball was slow. Xia Fei instantly vanished while Furball moved toward Phoenix Tail Stone!
If Phoenix Tail Stone remained at Quinn’s side, it was a powerful defense, but once it left him, it was the sharpest weapon!
Xia Fei’s sharp intuition had found an opportunity!
He ordered Furball to delay Phoenix Tail Stone so that Xia Fei could fight Quinn!
Without Phoenix Tail Stone, Quinn’s fighting power would suffer an obvious drop, but Xia Fei still had many other treasures. He had a chance of taking down Quinn in one fell swoop!
*Rumble!*
An incredible sight ensued!
Furball collided straight into Phoenix Tail Stone!
Although Furball was a body of flesh and blood, he was also a being of energy with a vast amount of energy stored inside him. As he flew forward, his body became surrounded by a bizarre bubble of light. It was not that dazzling, but only people who had taken Furball’s attacks knew that this unremarkable bubble was made entirely of energy! The purest energy!
The sound was deafening! Using his physical body, Furball did not lose out in his battle with Phoenix Tail Stone!
“Awoooo!”
Furball was fearless and began to chase Phoenix Tail Stone around! When he had a chance to take aim, he would give it a bite!
Of course, Phoenix Tail Stone was a divine weapon that Furball could not eat, but after many years at Xia Fei’s side, Furball had gained a tinge of madness, which was equal to Xia Fei’s! If one bite would not break it, then two! Three! Until Phoenix Tail Stone was nothing but debris, he would not give up!
*Thump thump thump!*
Up near the crystal dome, Furball and Phoenix Tail Stone fought evenly. Both moved around like bolts of lightning, which constantly crashed against each other!
Phoenix Tail Stone was both intelligent and self-conscious! Moving nimbly and striking fiercely, it could decide entirely on its own whether to attack or counterattack. Quinn did not need to devote any additional focus to it.
*Whoosh!*
The Blood Crystal appeared in Xia Fei’s left as he traveled along that oblique arc he was best at and accelerated toward Quinn!
*Bang!*
As the blade sliced forward and was about to strike Quinn’s body, suddenly, a black light appeared! It struck the Blood Crystal like a bullet and diverted its course, causing the blade to brush past Quinn and fly away!
“Another Phoenix Tail Stone!” Xia Fei stopped, lowered his body, and observed.
Another Phoenix Tail Stone had appeared at Quinn’s side. It was also pitch-black and emitting faint embers, appearing like the tail of a shark and bursting with speed and power!
Just like how Peacock Blue had thirteen blades of grass, Phoenix Tail Stone was more than just one piece!
“Whew!”
Quinn exhaled. Glancing at Phoenix Tail Stone which was battling with Furball, he sternly said, “You actually forced me to use the second level of my Immemorial Mystical Armament. Your speed is rather good, but unfortunately, it’s not enough to have a Holy Beast. Shatterstar has yet to mature fully, so while it may be easy for him to deal with one Phoenix Tail Stone, two won’t be as easy.”
Quinn waved his sleeve, and another Phoenix Tail Stone flew off to Furball.
The battle beneath the dome became two versus one, Furball fighting off two Phoenix Tail Stones by himself!
“What’s going on? Didn’t you say that Quinn had only reached the first level of Phoenix Tail Stone?” Xia Fei swiftly asked.
Oro had clearly been caught off guard by this, muttering, “Phoenix Tail Stone has seven levels in total, and at its highest level, there will be seven Phoenix Tail Stones circling the body, forming an impenetrable defense and mountain-toppling offense, but I clearly recall Quinn being very slow in mastering Phoenix Tail Stone. In fact, he only mastered the first level!”
Xia Fei clenched his teeth and viciously said, “Since Quinn was planning to betray you, he might’ve completely mastered Phoenix Tail Stone but didn’t tell you!”
Oro was startled. This truly was a possibility. Quinn, who had been scheming to steal the complete version of the Law of Life from the clan, had long ago become disloyal to his master.
Now that he thought about it, there had been seven years from the time Quinn obtained Phoenix Tail Stone to when he was driven out of the Lionheart Clan. In all that time, Quinn had made no progress at all with mastering Phoenix Tail Stone, and Oro had grumbled about his slowness more than once.
Now, it appeared that Quinn had not been too slow. He had just been hiding his progress from Oro.
“This evil beast! I’ll kill you!”
Once he understood what was going on, Oro went insane, his eyes becoming streaks of blood. He wanted nothing more than to devour Quinn alive!
*Rumble!*
Furball was like a bolt of lightning, and he crashed into the two other bolts of lightning! There was a thunderous explosion that shook the crystal dome!
*Whoosh~*
Furball slightly paused in the air, panting for breath. It had been very easy to deal with one Phoenix Tail Stone, but the doubling of his opponents had multiplied the fighting power of Phoenix Tail Stone by several times. Furball was already feeling tired. That he could fight, outnumbered, was already surprising enough. Overcoming his opponent would be very difficult!
Clenching teeth, Xia Fei charged forward!
Holding back his cards had always been Xia Fei’s habit. He had not expected Quinn to have his own trump cards. This battle was going to be much harder than he predicted!
“Ode of Hundred Spirits!”
Xia Fei used his second weapon, the darkness metal weapon!
The Ode of Hundred Spirits arranged itself in a cross and deluged Quinn in a barrage.
Quinn’s combat armor, the Enigmatic Autumn Sun, was the Ode of Hundred Spirits’ target. With this defensive layer broken, Quinn’s ability to protect himself would plunge.
*Rumble!*
However, Xia Fei bore witness to another shocking sight! Two more Phoenix Tail Stones flew out, one using its incredible speed to bring down the Ode of Hundred Spirits while the other one flew out to once more block Xia Fei’s attempt to get close.
*Bang!*
The Blood Crystal was deflected away on impact, the force of which was so great that Xia Fei felt his wrist go numb!
Four!
Four Phoenix Tail Stones!
Immemorial Mystical Armaments were incredibly powerful. This was not just a problem of fighting power being multiplied by several times, but by ten times!
Xia Fei groaned. “It seems that your disciple was hiding a lot from you! I suspect that he’s already completely mastered Phoenix Tail Stone and reached level seven!”
Oro’s face turned purple. Everyone knew how unruly the Immemorial Mystical Armaments were. Xia Fei’s Peacock Blue had thirteen levels, and though Xia Fei had only reached level three, this weapon was already abnormally powerful. If Quinn really had the complete form of Phoenix Tail Stone, having reached the seventh level, his fighting power was beyond imagination! This presented an enormous challenge to Xia Fei!
*Rumble!*
*Thump thump thump!*
The battle reached an unprecedented height of intensity!
Xia Fei versus Quinn and two Phoenix Tail Stones! Furball versus two Phoenix Tail Stones! They were all completely focused on this battle!
The crystal hall was thrown into turmoil, afterimages all over the place. In this situation, Xia Fei and Furball had to use 120% of their energy!
A Great Law Emperor with an Immemorial Mystical Armament truly possessed extraordinary power. Quinn was still standing at his original position, but he was already giving Xia Fei and Holy Beast Shatterstar a hard time!
Seth did not dare to believe his eyes. He suddenly discovered that a mighty Law Emperor like him had no purpose on this battlefield. As he observed the intense battle Xia Fei and Furball were fighting against Quinn, he realized that there was no space for him to intervene! Not even marginally.
How absurd was this? Quinn and Furball were one thing. After all, they were apex existences, but Xia Fei had even less cultivation than he did, yet his fighting power far surpassed his own! How was this possible?
Seven!
It was really seven Phoenix Tail Stones!
After ten minutes, Xia Fei finally confirmed that Quinn had completely mastered Phoenix Tail Stone!
Oro was utterly dumbfounded. He truly did not know whether having Xia Fei come to kill Quinn was helping him or hurting him!
Quinn coldly laughed, then he looked at Xia Fei, and sighed. “You should feel proud for forcing me to use the complete form of Phoenix Tail Stone. Now, prepare to die!”
Xia Fei moved around his stiff right wrist. Xia Fei had gone to great lengths to force Quinn to use Phoenix Tail Stone at its fullest potential.
Hearing these words, he craftily smiled. “You forgot. There’s more than just one Immemorial Mystical Armament…”
