A Fatal Mistake
It was like a dream. Xia Fei had never imagined that a lightning ability user could unleash such a dazzling light when he attacked with all his might. The alternating blue and green light burst out of Fangyuan's body as if a strange moon had risen in the middle of the sparring field. It was a plump full moon.
The people around him quickly covered their eyes. Looking at the glow from the electric welding would damage their eyesight, and the sparks that Fangyuan was unleashing were even worse than the sparks from the electric welding.
The sound of electricity crackling could be heard in the air, as if someone had set off firecrackers. The sound was crisp and fast, accompanied by a burning smell.
Danger!
Extreme danger!
Xia Fei's sharp senses were sending him an unsettling signal. Although the feeling of danger was telling him to retreat, his brain was telling him that it was extremely dangerous to move around blindly before he knew the enemy's attack. He had to observe the enemy's attack first before choosing the right angle and speed to dodge it.
Without realizing it, Xia Fei's forehead was already covered in beads of sweat. He slightly arched his body, and the muscles hidden under his combat suit were as taut as steel. Once he made a decision, Xia Fei would be able to enter full speed in the shortest time possible to dodge the opponent's electric attack. His two eyes were wide open, and his gaze was like a bolt of lightning as he looked around.
It seemed like Fangyuan needed some time to accumulate enough electricity for his full-powered attack. He stood on his tiptoes and raised his thick arms above his head as if he was holding up the sun.
His body was completely surrounded by electricity, but the glow between his hands was the brightest. If one were to take a closer look, they would realize that his hands were not clasped together. Instead, there was a gap of around ten centimeters between them. The brightest glow came from that gap.
Suddenly, Fangyuan spread his arms apart. He looked like a noodle maker, but instead of dough, he was holding deadly electricity in his hands.
He quickly spread his arms apart. His body was in the shape of a cross. His wrists were pulled inward as if he was holding something in his arms.
At that moment, an extremely bright electric current suddenly exploded between his hands.
It was more than ten times brighter and stronger than before.
* Whoosh! *
The huge electric current in front of Fangyuan's chest suddenly split into dozens of electric arrows of different sizes. They lined up in a row and shot out at the speed of light. They were headed right for where Xia Fei was.
* Whoosh! *
The moment the electricity left Fangyuan's body, it began to expand. It grew from the thickness of strands of noodles to the size of a group of ferocious snakes!
Powerful electric currents surged out from different directions, intending to completely seal off every single one of Xia Fei's escape routes.
To everyone's surprise, Xia Fei did not dodge in any direction. Instead, he took the attack head-on the moment it was unleashed.
Through his keen eyesight and judgment, Xia Fei realized that it was futile to run in any direction, for the electric currents in the surrounding area were curved. In other words, the electric currents would begin to change the moment they left the area, and there was no way to predict their direction at all.
Right now, the safest plan was to take advantage of the moment when the electric currents suddenly separated and pass through the center!
At such a close distance and such a fast speed, Xia Fei needed to be faster and more agile than the electric current!
Zeng!
Xia Fei's body suddenly flew into the air, forming a straight line as he weaved through dozens of lightning bolts and landed less than five meters away from Fangyuan. Fangyuan had yet to react after unleashing his strongest attack. His body stiffened, and his expression was blank.
This was the opportunity that Xia Fei had been waiting for, the perfect opportunity to counterattack!
Bloodthirsty Screech was raised high. The two-meter-long giant saber glowed faintly as it swung wildly at Xia Fei's head.
Fangyuan chuckled. He crossed his arms as if he was trying to block Xia Fei's attack with his body.
'Come on! Let's see if your saber or my electric current is faster! 'Fangyuan thought.
Countless electric currents surrounded his body. As soon as Bloodthirsty Screech came into contact with Fangyuan's electric current, it would immediately pass through the saber and reach Xia Fei's body. No matter how strong his body was, it would be difficult for him to survive such a violent electric current. With the speed of the electric current, Xia Fei would be hit before the saber even reached him.
All the electric currents in Fangyuan's body were concentrated in his arms. He was planning to use his strongest voltage to take Xia Fei down with one strike!
Surprisingly, Xia Fei suddenly let go of Bloodthirsty Screech's saber just as it was about to make contact with the electric current Fangyuan had unleashed.
Fangyuan was stunned. "Let go of the sword!"
Since he had let go of the saber, it was meaningless to attack Bloodthirsty Screech. Even the strongest electric current could not pass through the saber and reach Xia Fei.
However, Xia Fei had also lost his weapon. A warrior without a weapon was like a normal person without an arm. It was a taboo in the military.
A strange smile appeared on Fangyuan's face. He could vaguely feel the hope of victory. Perhaps because the Bloodthirsty Screech was too eye-catching, Fangyuan had been wary of the saber since the beginning.
Normally, it was rare to see someone wielding such a weapon, especially when a speed ability user wielding a saber that was taller than him. Fangyuan believed that it was unusual. As for the strange-looking Celestial Moon, Fangyuan thought it was just a normal saber used for defense.
Actually, Fangyuan could not be blamed for thinking that way. No matter how special Celestial Moon was, it could not compare to the wild and unrestrained Bloodthirsty Screech. Furthermore, Celestial Moon did look like a round shield tied to his right arm when he put it away.
Moreover, Celestial Moon was a weapon that was rarely used by psychokinesis ability users. It would be difficult to recognize this deadly weapon without going to a weaponry school or having a lot of experience.
Therefore, the saber that Slaughtershadow left for Xia Fei successfully diverted Fangyuan's attention. Now that he had successfully attracted his attention, the rest was simple.
Xia Fei had a clear understanding of Fangyuan's abilities, but he had yet to reveal any of his trump cards.
Just as Fangyuan was gathering all the electric current he could to resist Xia Fei's violent saber, ready to take Xia Fei's life, Xia Fei let go of his weapon.
Before Fangyuan could react, Xia Fei unsheathed Celestial Moon in his right arm.
"Demon Axe," Xia Fei said softly as if he was talking to himself.
* Whoosh! *
Eighteen circular sabers spun out, aiming for Fangyuan's vitals.
With a few agile steps, Xia Fei circled around Fangyuan and arrived behind him.
"Return!" Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Celestial Moon returned to Xia Fei's right arm. It was as quiet as before, as if nothing had happened.
A few meters away, Fangyuan was nailed to the ground like a wooden stake. Disbelief flashed across his eyes.
"Impossible! That's impossible! " Fangyuan wanted to scream, but he could not make a sound with his throat cut. Until the moment of his death, he still could not understand why the strange shield on Xia Fei's right arm had turned into eighteen deadly circular sabers and pierced through his body at an extraordinary speed.
The feeling of death was very strange. It was not as painful as he imagined it to be. All he felt was a sense of unwillingness and a blank mind.
