Being attacked from both sides
The combat suit was not a single piece of clothing. Some of the necessities needed for survival would also be installed on the suit, such as the night vision system attached to the mask, the air filtration system, and so on. Meanwhile, the small canister at the waist would contain compressed air.
People often thought that the canister on the back of a diver contained oxygen, but that was not the case. Putting aside the fact that it was extremely unsafe to store large amounts of oxygen together, it could even cause oxygen poisoning in the human body. Therefore, the canister contained normal air, without exception.
The compressed air canister at Xia Feis waist was less than half the size of a fist, and it could sustain life for about twenty minutes at most. It could be used to hide underwater for a short period of time, but if he wanted to breathe underwater for longer, he would need a specialized large canister.
* Splash! *
Xia Fei dove headfirst into the water. His posture was vertical and streamlined, so the sound he made was not loud.
The lake in the middle of the mountain was very wide. He could only hear the sound of water, but he could not see the end of it. Xia Fei was like an agile loach as he swam toward the center of the lake, maintaining a depth of about fifty meters from the surface.
The lake was bone-chilling, but with the protection of the combat suit, the low temperature did not hurt Xia Fei. Even the pressure in the water was negligible.
Xia Fei turned on the night vision system of the combat suit. It was very dim here, so even with his extraordinary eyesight, he could not see what was happening in the lake.
There was a large school of fish in the lake. These fish were snow-white in color, with a strange soft horn growing from their heads. Due to the lack of light, their eyes had already degenerated into two black dots, the size of sesame seeds.
What was strange was that the closer Xia Fei got to the center of the lake, the smaller the school of fish became, as if they were deliberately avoiding the center of the lake.
Dont you run! Make yourself clear! Just who stole whose martial arts technique? Darkshadow stood at the entrance of the cave and yelled at the lake.
It was obvious that Xia Feis casual words had greatly affected him. It was no longer important who killed Greenshadow. Darkshadow was determined to clear the injustice of his sect, refusing to let the Assassin Sect bear the crime of theft.
His voice was laced with some kind of anger, and Xia Fei could hear it very clearly in the water.
Xia Fei was not in the mood to explain things to Darkshadow, nor did he care if the old man would feel depressed because of this. He increased his speed and swam to the other side of the lake. There were also many caves on the other side, and as long as he was patient, he would be able to find a way out.
All of a sudden, just as Xia Fei reached the center of the lake, the flow of water suddenly accelerated, and a whirlpool rapidly formed in the middle of the lake!
The lake water continued to pull Xia Fei downward, and the originally calm surface of the lake began to churn. Xia Fei furrowed his eyebrows. The lake water had started to change just as he reached the center of the lake. This was most likely not a natural phenomenon but man-made!
In order to not be discovered, Xia Feis swimming speed in the water had been intentionally suppressed, but the sudden change in the situation left Xia Feis mind not so much. He exerted force with both his hands and legs and quickly swam to the surface.
Xia Fei was a speed ability user and had a decent burst of strength, so the gravitational pull of the vortex was not enough to pull him in.
Whoosh!
Xia Fei emerged from the water and did his best to swim to the nearest shore. This sudden turn of events gave Xia Fei a very bad premonition. He was not sure if there was some unknown creature in the lake.
Darkshadow discovered Xia Fei in the distance, and he yelled at the center of the lake, "Don't run! You havent explained the situation clearly! "
* Splash! *
Darkshadow eagerly jumped into the lake as well, chasing after Xia Fei.
That was when the violent vortex on the surface of the lake suddenly disappeared, and in its place was a powerful aura that could clearly be felt coming from the water.
Be it Xia Fei or Darkshadow, they were both shocked by this immense killing intent. Xia Fei lowered his head and carefully observed the water. His finger lightly tapped on his goggles, adjusting the visual system to the maximum.
All he saw was a silvery silhouette madly pouncing toward him in the gloomy lake!
Judging from its size, it should be a giant python. It was over two hundred meters long, and when it opened its mouth, it could easily swallow seven elephants!
"Crap! There's a giant snake! "Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Both his arms did their best to paddle, not daring to underestimate his enemy. This was the water and not on dry land. If he had to fight, be it his speed ability or his psychokinesis, they would all be greatly reduced!
The only thing he could use was the Beast Spirit Codex, but Xia Fei had no idea how effective the Beast Spirit Codex would be against such a huge and ferocious beast.
The three conditions were not on his side, so getting out of the water and onto dry land was Xia Fei's only choice!
A little further away, Darkshadow's expression was unsettled. No one could have imagined that there would be such a ferocious behemoth living in the lake. His finger lightly tapped on the signal transmitter on his right arm, sending out an electronic signal. Darkshadow furrowed his brows as he quickly approached Xia Fei.
Darkshadow's persistence had far exceeded Xia Fei's expectations. The giant python could not stop him from tracking him, and there was only one thought in his mind at this point: Xia Fei could not die before the truth came to light! He could not allow the Assassin Sect to inexplicably be accused of theft!
Snake-type Vicious Beasts lived in the water all year round, and they were most adept at underwater battles. This place was like its backyard, and it knew everything like the back of its hand. Xia Fei might be fast, but this python was even faster!
Xia Fei deeply felt the severity of the situation. When a speed ability user was up against an opponent that was even faster than them, even the slightest gap was enough to be fatal!
He needed to get out of this awkward situation as soon as possible!
* Whoosh! *
Celestial Moon was suddenly unsheathed, forming a flight of stairs in the air that led to dry land in the distance.
Xia Fei leaped out of the water and landed steadily on a circular blade.
Since he could not make use of his speed advantage in the water, Xia Fei decided to shift the battlefield to the air!
The giant python very quickly saw through Xia Fei's plan, and it opened its fanged maw and spat out a white pillar of water!
* Poof! *
Like a beam of white light, this powerful pillar of water shot out!
The aerial walkway that Xia Fei had just set up was instantly broken into pieces! The circular blades could not withstand such a strong impact and were pushed several hundred meters away!
Xia Fei's special ability was speed, not flight, so unless he had wings on his back, there was no way he could cross an empty space of more than one kilometer with just his explosive power!
The circular blades could only carry Xia Fei's physical strength for a short period of time, but they could not carry him in flight unless he forcefully used Demon Axe to increase the explosive power of Celestial Moon. However, every use of Demon Axe required a large amount of mental strength, and if it was used more than twice in a row, there was a high chance that he would faint from the exhaustion.
Besides, Demon Axe was a powerful killing technique, and Xia Fei was not willing to use it to escape.
"Time to go all out!" Xia Fei roared, and he only used 0.01 seconds to make his decision. He was going to go all out against this silver giant python!
Though his chances of winning were not high, there was still a chance, and running away would only put him in an even more passive position. Darkshadow was already catching up, and Xia Fei had no intention of facing a pincer attack from two experts at the same time. He had to get rid of one first!
Closing his eyes, Xia Fei suddenly opened them and released a ray of light, using his ocular technique to transmit some ancient, indescribable information. This was the exclusive technique of the Beast Spirit Codex.
At the same time, he activated Demon Axe!
The silver circular blades rapidly plunged into the water, leaving a trail of white foam behind!
Activating the third stage of the Beast Spirit Codex and the ultimate technique of psychokinesis, Demon Axe, at the same time would place a heavy mental burden on Xia Fei, but he did not have the time to hesitate. Indecisiveness would only lead to disaster, and a voice in his head told him that he could only give it his all in the face of a strong enemy!
Any hesitation or retreat would ultimately lead to his death!
The silver giant python was being assaulted by the Beast Spirit Codex, and its mind was in a mess. It was like a severed earthworm, its body twisting in pain as if it had been electrocuted.
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh! *
Celestial Moon would not let go of such an excellent opportunity to attack. This time, they did not attack separately but all aimed for its head, for that was its most fatal spot!
Just as Xia Fei had calculated, all eighteen circular blades struck the giant python's head!
Red blood instantly dyed the lake red, and the giant python was curled up in a bloody mist, making it impossible to see how injured it was.
Without the support of the circular blades, Xia Fei fell into the water with a splash, his eyes vigilantly observing the situation under the water.
This was when the distant Darkshadow had also arrived in front of Xia Fei.
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and recalled Celestial Moon, preparing to face the challenge from Darkshadow.
All of a sudden! The silver giant python roused itself and charged toward Xia Fei once more!
It turned out that it was not dead!
Fresh blood continued to gush out of its head, and its eyes became even more ferocious due to its rage!
It opened its bloody mouth full of jagged fangs, its sharp teeth causing anyone to shudder!
'Crap! 'Xia Fei screamed in his mind.
Because they were underwater, Celestial Moon was unable to unleash its full power, and not only did it fail to kill the giant python, it had even angered it!
Animals were able to unleash their strongest combat instincts when they were completely enraged, and because of the pain it was feeling, Xia Fei might not be able to control it even if he risked his life and did not activate the Beast Spirit Codex again!
Darkshadow was only a few hundred meters away from Xia Fei, and the silver giant python gave Xia Fei less than two seconds!
What was he supposed to do when facing the attacks of two experts at the same time?
Most people would feel despair when faced with such a passive situation, but Xia Fei was the exact opposite.
His eyes had turned bloodshot in the face of adversity! The bright color was like a ball of raging fire!
"Die, all of you!" Xia Fei roared in excitement and madness!
His voice was amplified by the surrounding stone walls, making it sound incredibly ferocious!
It was as if what came out of his mouth was not a language but a hymn of life that was stained with blood!
The craziest and wildest battle intent erupted in that instant!
In an instant, Xia Fei had transformed from a human into a savage demon!
Darkshadow and the silver giant python were both stunned by Xia Fei's sudden outburst. They had never heard of a human actually being able to make such a crazed sound!
It was as if a tsunami had struck!
