Chapter 420: Darkness Ability
His figure was like a bolt of lightning!
Xia Fei was a speed ability user with a speed of over thirty thousand meters per second. Even if he could not immediately reach his maximum speed, he could still move as fast as lightning.
Too many things that they did not understand distracted Duabi and the others. They had to guard against Halleh and Xia Fei, and they also had to guess who that spy Uti had placed in their ranks was. They had to guess who wanted to rebel against the Golden Tent. What would they do? And so on and so forth.
A person's attention was limited, and when they could not focus, it meant that Xia Fei had a chance!
* Whoosh! *
With a light flash, October Flying Snow's three heads were separated from their bodies!
Halleh moved even faster than Xia Fei had imagined! He unleashed his darkness ability, instantly engulfing Xia Fei in darkness. The powerful darkness energy pulled Xia Fei back, and October Flying Snow was only a centimeter away from Mingjing's neck! But he could not advance any further!
"This old man said that he would spare their lives! Why did you kill them?! " Halleh's hysterical roar came from the darkness. He could not believe that this human had not given up on counterattacking, even when he was facing a darkness Immortal rank expert!
"That's what you said, not what I said," Xia Fei coldly said.
After killing Duabi, Laresh, and Yadan, the mental shackles on Xia Fei's body had indeed been removed, but he had still underestimated Halleh. Normally, when a warrior fought against a speed ability user, they did not rely on speed but reaction speed. Halleh's reaction speed was clearly top-notch, and before Xia Fei could kill Mingjing, he had unleashed his darkness ability and engulfed Xia Fei.
Xia Fei clenched his teeth and pushed October Flying Snow forward another two millimeters. The feeling of being unable to kill an enemy right in front of him was incredibly depressing. Alas, Halleh's level was far higher than his, so he could not take down Mingjing for now.
Mingjing's reaction was very strange. Xia Fei was very close to her, his left hand tightly gripping her waist while his right hand pressed the blade against her neck. In this dangerous situation, Mingjing's entire body went limp, her breathing ragged, and her body grew hotter and hotter. It was like she had suddenly contracted some sort of emergency.
How could a warrior make such a bizarre reaction at such a crucial moment? Xia Fei did not understand, and he did not want to understand at this moment.
Halleh let out a deep sigh. "Forget it. Since you've already killed them, then so be it. Duabi and the others weren't our main goal this time anyway, but you absolutely cannot kill Ryun's disciple. She means a great deal to me. If you let her go, I'll let you go."
Shes very dangerous. Xia Fei pushed the blade another millimeter in the darkness, having no intention of letting her go. At the same time, he urged Furball to attack, but unfortunately, Furball was also shrouded in darkness, unable to spit out energy balls of light.
Halleh replied, "I naturally have a way to control her. In short, killing her won't do you any good. Besides, she's your clansman. Don't you have any compassion?"
Xia Fei sneered. "She's one of my people, but she's also my enemy. Only a fool would show compassion to an enemy."
Halleh was clearly somewhat impatient, and he decided to forcefully separate Xia Fei.
In the darkness, Xia Fei felt like many invisible hands were pulling at him, trying to pull him away from Mingjing. Xia Fei fiercely resisted. He was just a few millimeters away from killing High Priest Ryun's disciple. How could he give up so easily?
"Eh?" Halleh was shocked to discover that Xia Fei was in a contest of strength with him. For a moment, he was unable to use his darkness ability to control him.
Mingjing lay limp in Xia Fei's arms as if she did not care that Xia Fei was going to kill her. On the contrary, she seemed to be enjoying it. An inexplicable thrill engulfed her, a feeling she had never experienced before and inexplicable.
The stalemate lasted for several minutes.
* Whoosh ~ *
Xia Fei released his strength, no longer resisting Halleh. The truth was clear. He was not strong enough to fight him, and there was no point in continuing this stalemate.
"You win," Xia Fei said as he put away October Flying Snow.
The darkness vanished, and sunlight and heat once more shone on Xia Fei's body. However, Miss Mingjing was already lying limp on the ground, her shoulders heaving up and down as she stared at the ground.
Xia Fei believed that she had been frightened by him, so he did not think too much of it.
Halleh coldly asked, "Do you know why I didn't let you kill her?"
Xia Fei silently shook his head.
"Because she has Ryun's mark on her. If you kill her, High Priest Ryun will immediately know. Not only am I unwilling to make an enemy of High Priest Ryun, but neither are the people behind me. There's no need to provoke that expert."
Xia Fei stretched out his body. The darkness ability was truly frightening. Every particle of air in the darkness seemed to be an incarnation of Halleh. Fighting against him for several minutes had consumed too much of Xia Fei's energy, and his muscles were sore.
Halleh extended his hand and released a wave of darkness that wrapped around the three corpses on the ground. When he retracted his ability, there were no longer any marks on the ground, and even the aura left behind by Duabi and the others had vanished.
"What a pity. I was planning on keeping them alive for a bit of use, but you killed them."
Xia Fei watched as the darkness in Halleh's hand gradually disappeared, not saying a word. This was the first time he had encountered a darkness ability user, and Xia Fei had memorized every move Halleh made, hoping to find a way to break it.
Halleh laughed. "What? Could it be that you want to challenge me again? "
Xia Fei replied, "At the very least, I don't have that intention right now. Your darkness ability is very formidable."
Halleh replied, "At least you're tactful. If I wasn't confident, I wouldn't have come looking for you alone. Speaking of which, do you know which one of Duabi's people was Uti's trusted aide?"
"That one-armed fellow," Xia Fei simply said.
Halleh was startled. "How did you guess it was him?"
Xia Fei replied, "He's been very calm, but when you said that one of them had been secretly sent by Uti, he clearly became very agitated, his heart rate increasing, and his blood pressure rising."
Halleh curiously asked, "You guessed it was him just from that?"
Xia Fei nodded and did not answer. At this time, Mingjing stood up. Her eyes were as dull as ever, but there was also a hint of doubt in them. She rubbed her eyes and then dejectedly sat down on the ground, lightly biting her finger. Xia Fei was very close to her, but it was as if she could not see him.
Xia Fei clenched his teeth. Not being able to kill this somewhat naive girl had always been one of his greatest regrets, and even more regretful was that he had not found a chance to kill Halleh.
"This girl is actually rather pitiful. She doesn't have any powerful abilities and was only sent out by High Priest Ryun to die." Halleh looked at her and said, "Because only with her death will High Priest Ryun be able to immediately obtain information on his opponent. It's fortunate that you didn't kill her, or else Ryun would have immediately learned of our situation, and that wouldn't have been a good thing."
Xia Fei was confused. "She exists just to die? If that's the case, why take her in as a disciple? "
Halleh chuckled. "This is also the High Priest's habit. He doesn't easily take action unless he's completely confident. This time, Uti begged him to kill you, but he sent out his disciple. From this, we can see that this girl is the same as all the other disciples of Ryun, a human detector meant to gauge the strength of the enemy.
"The more it's like this, the more we can't let him succeed. Right now, my darkness ability has already sealed Mingjing. Look at that dazed look on her face. In truth, she can't see anything at all. She's deep in thought, alone in the darkness. However, this girl's brain isn't too good, and she gives off a strange feeling."
Xia Fei walked over and waved his hand in front of Mingjing's eyes. There was no reaction from her eyes, but she seemed to have sensed Xia Fei's aura and began to sniff. Xia Fei hurriedly pulled his hand back.
"She's reacting to you?" Halleh asked in surprise. "Could it be because you're both humans? Just now, I felt that she seemed to care a lot about you. "
"I can actually sense your presence through my Darkness Arcana? Just what's the reason? "
Halleh softly muttered to himself, and then he shook his head. "Forget it. Let's get down to business. I already said that you have a chance to live and kill Uti, and there's even a chance to end the war between the humans and the insectoids. The prerequisite is that you cooperate with me and the faction behind me."
Xia Fei did not pay much attention to anything else, but the words' kill Uti and end the war between the humans and the insectoids' had entered his heart. This had always been his wish!
Xia Fei was shocked, but he maintained his silence. Before confirming Halleh's goal, silence and listening were the best choices.
With a wave of his hand, a black cube appeared beneath Halleh and Xia Fei. This object seemed incorporeal, but it gave off a cold feeling. It was probably formed from his darkness ability.
"This is a little troublesome. Sit down and listen."
After saying this, Halleh sat down on the black cube. This incorporeal object had actually supported him! Xia Fei was very curious, so he also wanted to sit down, but Furball jumped onto the black cube first, opened his mouth, and let out a roar!
Furball seemed to have been grabbed by the neck in the darkness, unable to spit out an energy ball to kill Mingjing. He had been suppressing his anger for a long time, so when he saw Halleh release his darkness ability, he could not help but lunge forward and eat it!
Halleh's eyes widened. What he had released was darkness! He had long heard that Xia Fei had a very powerful exotic beast with him that could convert matter into energy, but this was the first time he had heard that it could devour darkness. There was actually an exotic beast that could devour darkness? Halleh could not help but rejoice that he had blocked Furball's vital point, or else this exotic beast might really have been able to break through his darkness ability.
Halleh had not originally viewed Xia Fei as too much of a threat, but now, he had to reevaluate the human and his pet ball, and his eyes turned wary.
Xia Fei sighed, grabbing Furball and hugging him. It was not a good thing to show off when facing a powerful enemy. He was still planning to find a chance to kill Halleh, but now that Furball had revealed this move, the other party would probably be on their guard, and defeating this Immortal rank dark warrior would be even more difficult.
