The crux of the stealth ability was not in concealment, but in the word 'movement'.
If a stealth ability user's speed was ten meters per second normally, then once they entered stealth, not only would their speed not decrease, it would instead increase by several times. Some could even increase it by more than ten times, allowing their speed to exceed a hundred meters per second!
This was the truly formidable aspect of the stealth ability! As an Eternal rank insectoid expert, Mengen's stealth speed could reach 1200 meters per second!
It had to be said that this was when he was invisible, and no one could detect him!
Mite warriors were naturally small and thin, but they were extremely agile. Mengen, who was close to one meter tall, was already considered one of the tallest members of his race. The mighty Uti was only 0.48 meters tall. Of course, he claimed that he was 0.5 meters tall.
* Whoosh ~ *
A cold wind blew behind Xia Fei's head!
"An enemy?!" Xia Feis heart skipped a beat, immediately using Crafty Approach to dodge to the side. In a few milliseconds, he executed an incredible evasive maneuver. With a slight change in his footwork, his entire person floated five meters to the left.
As one of the Seven Sacred Warriors of the insectoid race, Mengen was extremely confident. No one had ever been able to dodge his stealth attack. Xia Fei was the first!
At this moment, he was no longer stealthy, and his speed had dropped greatly. Having lost the protection of both stealth and speed, Mengen was filled with terror. Everyone knew that stealthy espers relied on catching their opponents off-guard and killing them in a single strike. If he were to fight in the open, any warrior of a slightly higher level would be able to defeat him.
Failing a sneak attack was extremely dangerous for a stealth ability user! For Xia Fei to be able to dodge his attack meant that his rank was not low! Exposing himself in front of such a high-level warrior was simply courting death!
Mengen was inwardly complaining. He had originally wanted to capture Xia Fei alive and interrogate him about his intentions, so he had not used a weapon. A small hand, as thin as a child's, formed into an eagle's hook as he prepared to grab Xia Fei's neck and press him to the ground.
Experience was sometimes the most harmful thing. Very few insectoids could dodge Mengen's attacks, so Mengen took it for granted that Xia Fei could not. Thus, he used his experience to recklessly grab Xia Fei.
Little did he know that Xia Fei had cultivated Crafty Approach before! Furthermore, it was a super Crafty Approach enhanced by the meteor ball! Even a speed ability user on par with Xia Fei would not be able to catch him, let alone Mengen, who only had a speed of 1200 seconds.
The situation was very awkward. After Mengen revealed himself, he flew into the air, one hand in front of him like an eagle soaring through the sky. Meanwhile, Xia Fei instantly dodged to the left, five meters away, and looked at Mengen in confusion.
In Xia Fei's view, Mengen was just a skinny, dark-skinned brat with no martial arts worth mentioning. It was just that he could turn invisible and then reveal himself to attack him. As for what the insectoid race's Seven Sacred Warriors were, Xia Fei had no idea. Even if he did, he would not place his hopes on this dwarf.
Those who attacked him were enemies, and enemies could not be allowed to live! This was Xia Fei's creed!
Mengen turned his head to look at Xia Fei, his small white eyes filled with fear. He hurriedly circulated his cultivation technique and prepared to turn invisible again. Alas, Xia Fei would not give him the chance. In front of Xia Fei, who had a speed of over ten thousand seconds, escaping was just a fantasy.
With a light tap of his foot, Xia Fei appeared in front of Mengen, grabbed his outstretched arm, and then used his momentum to throw him into a back throw!
* Bang! *
Xia Fei slammed Mengen into the sturdy alloy floor, his eyes flashing! All the bones in his body had fallen apart. This was how speed ability users were. The higher their rank, the greater their strength. If not for the fact that Mengen was wearing an expensive combat suit, he would have been smashed into meat paste! After all, his own momentum had played a role.
Xia Fei was simply too fast. The high-rank Eternal rank Sacred Warrior Mengen had no time to react, not even time to blink before Xia Fei threw him into the ground.
His throat desperately wanted to scream. This was the instinctive reaction of any lifeform in despair, but Xia Fei's October Flying Snow had already slit his throat before he could even think about it. Do not make an enemy out of a high-end speed ability user if you did not have the reflexes or speed to contend with them. Many instructors would tell their students this. Mengen had naturally heard of this, but Xia Fei's speed had already reached a level where he had no time to think. His movements were even faster than his thoughts. Just how terrifying was this?
October Flying Snow was an Eternal rank weapon. If used slowly, it could freeze the enemy's body into a block of ice. If used quickly, the blade would leave no trace. This time, Xia Fei chose the latter, using his fastest speed to end Mengen's life. There was a thread on his neck that was almost invisible to the naked eye, but there was no blood. Only after twenty-four hours would the effects of the ice seal fade, but by then, the blood would have already congealed.
Blinking a few times, Mengen unwillingly stared at the empty ceiling. Even at the end of his life, he still did not understand how he had died at Xia Fei's hands. Injustice, grievance, anguish … all sorts of indescribable feelings made Mengen die with everlasting regret.
As one of the Seven Sacred Warriors of the insectoid race, Mengen felt that he had been even more wronged than Dou E! He had just gone on a simple mission, then discovered a human warrior of a much lower rank than him, and then died?! Just what was going on here?!
* Thump! *
Xia Fei kicked Mengen's corpse into a corner and indifferently said, "Maybe he was a gatekeeper."
Gatekeeper?! If the top-class Sacred Warrior Mengen heard this, he would definitely die from anger! One of Uti's Seven Champions had actually been taken by Xia Fei to be a gatekeeper?! It had to be understood that the insectoid race was a tribal society that revered martial prowess. Mengen was definitely in the top ten of the insectoid race! He was a member of the royal family, a super-ranked warrior!
Phantom was even more vicious. He nodded and went along with Xia Fei's words. "His special ability is rather interesting. It's very similar to Clean Knife's hidden space. It's too bad that this shorty's cultivation is too weak. He might just be a normal teacher in this school."
"Mm, I think so too. If he had a high status, how could he have been assigned to this cursed place as a gatekeeper?"
Xia Fei and Phantom began to speak one after another. Fortunately, Mengen was already dead, so he could not hear these malicious words. Otherwise, he would have been so ashamed that he would have committed suicide on the spot!
"I forgot to see if he had anything good on him." Xia Fei rubbed his chin and said.
"There's no need. What good could a gatekeeper have?" Phantom disdainfully said.
"True. It's not worth wasting time on a gatekeeper. Even that fellow called Jin Myeh didn't have anything good, much less a nobody like him." Xia Fei shrugged.
Xia Fei was actually comparing Mengen to a puny Jin Myeh? These words would probably make Mengen crawl out of his grave! Who was Jin Myeh? A trifling level 4 warrior, just a vice headmaster. Mengen far surpassed Jin Myeh in both cultivation and status. The two could not be compared at all!
Alas, in Xia Fei's eyes, Mengen was not even comparable to Jin Myeh. At the very least, Jin Myeh had given him a lot of trouble, while this Seven Champions had been taken down in one move. Thus, Xia Fei naturally did not care about Mengen at all.
This was called a freak accident. If Mengen had not underestimated Xia Fei, he would have been able to put up a bitter fight against Xia Fei, and the outcome would have been very difficult to predict. A moment of carelessness had not only cost Mengen his life, but more importantly, Xia Fei had tossed his illustrious reputation into the sewers and stomped on it a few times. Moreover, Mengen had even helped Xia Fei open the door to the storeroom before his unjust death! It was probably not a lie to say that Mengen was the most wronged warrior in the world.
Xia Fei observed the door. There was no mechanism to open it, so it could only be opened from the inside. This put him in a very difficult position. The only thing he could do was force his way through, but Xia Fei discovered that while this door looked the same as the other three, there was a fundamental difference in the material.
The other three doors were made of tritanium alloy, but this door was made of an expensive multidimensional elemental alloy! The surface was painted the same, but if one peeled off the surface, one would see the difference.
It had to be said that multidimensional elemental alloys were abnormally tough and impervious to fire and water. They cost ten million star coins per kilogram, and this door weighed at least ten-some tons. The cost would be astronomical!
The truth was obvious. There had to be something behind this door!
Xia Fei took out October Flying Snow and tried to pry open the door.
Suddenly, Xia Fei could faintly hear a sound coming from behind the door!
With a light tap of his foot, Xia Fei floated over to the wall and used the shadows to conceal himself once more.
Logically speaking, this door should not have been opened so easily, but Mengen had called the guards inside and knocked on the secret mechanism on the door. Everything was the same as before, so the guards inside had let down their guard. They activated the complex mechanism and opened the heavy alloy door with a clatter.
"Lord Mengen, Lord Mengen, are you there?"
A thin warrior from the Mite race stood at the door and called out softly. He was even smaller than Mengen, and his skin was the most common white color. However, his eyes were the same white as Mengen's.
The Blood Demon Claw was extremely precious, so Uti had only sent warriors of his own race and blood relations with him to guard it. These people were loyal to Uti, and he was most at ease with them.
"Eh? Why isn't there anyone? "the mite warrior muttered in confusion.
* Whoosh ~ *
At this moment, Xia Fei suddenly sped up and charged out from the corner of the wall! His figure flashed past this warrior, and he casually slid his blade across his neck. Before this warrior could even figure out what had happened, he was already dead.
