"Don't speak nonsense!" the cold and arrogant Shen Gufeng could not help but say.
Lin Zhuoying warily looked around and said in surprise, "Xia Fei, I know you're very smart, but that doesn't mean you know what we're thinking."
Xia Fei nonchalantly lit another cigarette and said, "You've been famous in Alpha for a long time, and you've also been in the dragonrider reserve team for a long time. I'm sure you're feeling unbalanced, aren't you? The reason you can tell that Furball is deliberately suppressing his rank is because your own ranks are being suppressed as well.
"Senior Shen is fine; his constitution is strong enough, but Senior Lin isn't. You're coughing often, looking very weak, but that's just a facade. The truth is that you're stronger than Senior Shen! After being suppressed, you can't use your full strength, and you've been stifled to your current state! "
Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying were stunned, looking suspiciously at Xia Fei. Shen Gufeng had a proud personality, and he was missing an eye, making him look fierce. Everyone believed that he was the stronger member of the Gufeng and Zhuoying duo, but they were all wrong. The truly strong one was Lin Zhuoying! It was this sickly, pale-faced scholar!
This was their secret, but Xia Fei had seen through it!
Lin Zhuoying opened his mouth as if he wanted to retort, but Xia Fei did not give him the chance. He said, "Let me finish, the two of you. Back on Spirit Mountain, I was very puzzled. I already told Sousa about the situation and that he needed help, but he only sent you two. Even Qiu Xingbang was only informed at the last minute.
"There's no doubt that he's very confident in the two of you! Where did that confidence come from?! I was observing from Spirit Mountain, and I discovered that not only are your tactics first-rate, your movements are even more so! I'm a speed-type, the most difficult speed-type in the world! There's no way I'm wrong about your movement techniques, and I won't lie to you. I, Xia Fei, was born an Assassin! Though I don't often use assassination techniques, I understand them better than anyone.
"Your every move is undoubtedly beyond your rank, and you realized that I'm stronger than you imagined, so you held back. Otherwise, if we had worked together, we would have won even more beautifully! "
Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying exchanged glances. Xia Fei's words had greatly shocked them. This was a secret, a huge secret! Yet, Xia Fei had actually seen through it!
Lin Zhuoying put her hands behind her back and said, "That's right. If I wasn't stuck in Alpha, I would be a Level 2 Annihilation Warrior by now."
"I'm at the early stage of Annihilation," said Shen Gufeng.
Lin Zhuoying chuckled and said, "Even if our levels are suppressed, it's still possible. You can't say that we're not loyal just because of this. To be able to reach this level, who doesn't have some patience and twists and turns? "
Xia Fei blew out a nice ring of smoke as he muttered to himself, "That day, something else happened on Spirit Mountain. After the battle ended, the two of you didn't linger and just left. At the time, I felt that the two of you were a little emotional."
"When we meet again today, it's obvious that you followed the clues to this place, just like me. It wasn't Annihilation who gave you the order. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been discussing whether to kill me just now to prevent me from informing Annihilation about the two of you acting on your own. "
"Fortunately, when I jumped into the waterfall, that mysterious white shadow suddenly appeared. Even so, Senior Shen still made his move. The Ten Thousand Feet Mountain's large-scale attack technique was clearly not only aimed at that white shadow, but also intended to seriously injure me. "
"Still, I'm a speed type, so avoiding it wasn't a problem. It's just a pity that I wasn't able to catch that white shadow and let it escape."
"Later, when Senior Lin saw how shocked I was when I saw the corpse, he realized that I was actually just like the two of you, not having received Annihilation's order. It was also because I acted on my own, so he gave up on the idea and used Furball to interrogate me just to dispel the last of your doubts. "
What a monster!
No matter how Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying looked at Xia Fei, they felt that he was a monster! This ability to observe and analyze … He was already calculating to the bone!
Of course, Xia Fei could tell that the two of them were being suppressed because Xia Fei had studied medicine! He knew that Lin Zhuoying's weakness was due to the backlash from being too strong! He also naturally knew where the pitch-black waterfall was. The two of them had originally planned to work together to kill Xia Fei because Xia Fei still had the ocular ability, the Heaven's Origin!
Being versatile was never a burden, and it would always come in handy at crucial moments!
Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying were completely speechless. They furrowed their eyebrows and grinned.
Lin Zhuoying coldly laughed. "I admit that you're very smart, but aren't you afraid that the two of us will really kill you if you explain things so clearly?"
Xia Fei calmly retorted, "What do you think? If I can see through and explain all of this, how could I not have my own trump card? "
Lin Zhuoying held his forehead and laughed. "True. Your logic is so strong that you probably already know about our bodies. What we're most afraid of is the monster qi on your body, for it will bring out the pent-up anger in our hearts, ultimately bringing trouble upon ourselves."
Xia Fei smiled, the corner of his lips curling into a strange smile as he lightly said, "Trust me. I have ten thousand ways to cripple the two of you, but it definitely won't be with monster qi."
Unknowingly, another round of confrontation had begun. Lin Zhuoying was also someone with a mind of his own, testing just how many secrets Xia Fei knew about his body, but Xia Fei calmly returned the favor.
By the side, Radix was already dumbfounded. Reality was always cruel. Lin Zhuoying, who had just helped Xia Fei yesterday, had nearly become an enemy in the blink of an eye!
All of a sudden, Radix had the urge to dig a hole and bury himself. If he had been in the same situation instead of Xia Fei, he would probably be dead by now.
* Phew ~ *
Lin Zhuoying let out a long sigh. Reality had proven that he was indeed no match for Xia Fei, and this actually made him feel a lot more at ease. Beside him, Shen Gufeng kept scratching his head. He was not as smart as Lin Zhuoying, and his thoughts were somewhat similar to Radix's.
"I shouldn't say that you're very smart, because you're even smarter than I thought." Lin Zhuoying sat on the ground and said, "To tell you the truth, us brothers indeed don't believe in Annihilation. We've been ostracized quite a bit these past few years, and it's not a problem for us to put our lives on the line for them, but they can't just leave us in Alpha, having us put our lives on the line year after year!"
"That's because you're not the Mandate Dragonriders, nor are you the Holy Light Dragonriders," Xia Fei softly said.
Lin Zhuoying was taken aback once more, which then turned into a bitter smile. He was no longer that surprised after being surprised for so long. Lin Zhuoying nodded. "That's right. We're part of the Dark Moon Dragonriders' reserve force. In Annihilation's combat system, aside from the orthodox Mandate Dragonriders and Holy Light Dragonriders, Wraith and Dark Moon are just miscellaneous troops. Fortunately, Dark Moon's situation is slightly better than Wraith's. "
Xia Fei coldly said, "Now's not the time to argue about who's getting better treatment. I have a feeling that we've already been abandoned by Annihilation."
"Evidence." Lin Zhuoying's eyes flashed as he asked in a deep voice.
"I've already reported what I know. The Dark Spiritualists are gathering a large amount of energy. I'm not sure if they're trying to create a big bang or something, but I know the power of energy! No matter what, they're urgently gathering energy. It's definitely not a good thing.
"You've all seen what happened today. I'm ninety percent sure that the Dark Spiritualists were the ones who took this primordial drake carcass! From what I know, Annihilation has a technique that can resurrect dead beasts and even reassemble them! If the Water Dragon Song is truly resurrected, it'll be a disaster for the entire Alpha Cosmos. The people of Annihilation might not necessarily care about the lives of those below, "Xia Fei said solemnly.
"So you want to stop the Dark Spiritualists and save the universe? Why does it sound like something out of a movie to me? "Lin Zhuoying found it funny and shook his head.
"I don't care about the lives of others. Even if everyone in the universe dies, what does that have to do with me? " Xia Fei said in a deep voice, "I just need to ensure that my people are fine, so I need to know what the Dark Spiritualists are up to."
"Then what do you need us to do?" Lin Zhuoying asked.
"It's simple. Intelligence. As the most mysterious organization in the Wind and Cloud Nineteen Continents and a spy of Annihilation in the Alpha Cosmos, it's impossible for you to not have your own intelligence network, so I hope that you can cast your net. Since you were able to discover that there's a problem in Jade Water City so quickly, you should know where the Dark Spiritualists are and what they're doing, "Xia Fei said.
"What if we don't agree?" Lin Zhuoying stood up and smiled.
"Do you think you have a choice?" Xia Fei retorted.
The atmosphere was very oppressive. Xia Fei, who was of an even lower rank, was actually threatening Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying!
Threats were not just empty words! Xia Fei and Ling Boyu's battle. It was already proven that Xia Fei was not Annihilation but had the combat strength of one!
Moreover, Xia Fei had something even more important: knowledge!
Knowledge was power. This saying was vividly displayed today! Xia Fei had learned Snake Swallow Whale, and he was a healer! He knew very well where Lin Zhuoying and Shen Gufeng's weaknesses were. In fact, Xia Fei was confident that he could cause their brains to collapse in a second!
This was especially true for Lin Zhuoying. After being suppressed for a long time, his energy had already reached a critical point. Xia Fei only needed to detonate this point, and someone else would be able to collect his corpse!
Healing was not a method to kill, but as long as someone used healing to kill someone, it would be an unsolvable situation!
"Alright! Keep your Emerald Dawn Pearl open. I'll inform you if anything happens, "Lin Zhuoying said loudly.
"It's a deal!" Xia Fei turned and strode away, saying, "Though it's only a temporary alliance, with the strength of our two families, it's not impossible for us to turn the tables! Also, I have to remind you that the situation might be even crueler than you think. "
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei, who was a speed type, disappeared as he spoke. Shen Gufeng and Lin Zhuoying exchanged glances, both letting out a long sigh.
"That young man is very formidable. He's calculated to the bone," Shen Gufeng, who had been silent all this time, finally said.
Lin Zhuoying nodded, pursing his lips. "Indeed, it's quite impressive. I heard that the Evil Shadow Dragonriders specialize in picking up maverick tactical seedlings, so I'm not surprised that Xia Fei managed to join them. However, he might not know that the Evil Shadow Dragonrider designation no longer exists."
Shen Gufeng felt a lot more relaxed after hearing this. What was the use of a dragonrider without a designation? As long as he could get through this, when he reached Annihilation and joined the Dark Moon Dragonriders, he would still be a head above Xia Fei!
Neither of them noticed that there was a mark above their heads. A white mark! A bat-shaped mark! It was exactly the same as the one in the Broken Winged Sky Demon Graveyard!
Compared to a Dark Spiritualist, this was an unknown threat! A true crisis!
That was why Xia Fei made the only choice he could, and that was to temporarily form an alliance with Gu Feng Zhuoying! To fight against this true threat!
