A showdown between top-class speed ability users!
It's the second watch! Please support me!
The third floor of the Holy Realm was nine hundred miles away in a straight line, but Xia Fei had spent a full ten hours traversing the labyrinth, a distance of six thousand and seven hundred miles! This was enough to show just how mysterious this labyrinth was.
"That was close!" Phantom looked at the endless walls behind him and exclaimed.
Xia Fei nodded. "It was indeed close. The complexity of this labyrinth is simply unimaginable! The mechanisms are even more vicious! If not for my Crafty Approach and speed ability protecting me, I'm afraid I would have already lost my life in here. "
Phantom said, "It's a good thing that we've already made it through. I felt some strange energy fluctuations just now. Have you ever felt something like that?"
Xia Fei replied, "I also felt something strange. Perhaps it was produced when the mechanisms were activated."
Up ahead is the same teleportation array as before, formed from black and white boulders, though it's a little smaller. I'm sure that the Black and White Gods felt that not many warriors would be able to make it here, so they purposely shrunk the teleportation array. "
Xia Fei lowered his head and glanced at the point counter on his wrist. "Do you know how many points I'll get from making it through this labyrinth?"
"How many?" Phantom curiously asked.
"One million points!"
"One million! You only had a little over a hundred thousand points before, but just making it through this labyrinth will earn you a million points! This time, you'll surely be able to exchange for a bunch of good stuff in the fifth floor of the Holy Temple. Even an Immortal-grade weapon might not be out of the question! "Phantom excitedly said.
Xia Fei replied, "I'll still need to make it there alive. I activated the Evil Spirit Tree to attack Uti's men, and the points were actually counted to me. Now, I already have more than 1.4 million points. It looks like the Holy Realm still encourages killing each other."
The two of them spoke as they stepped onto the teleportation array. * Whoosh * A pillar of light shot down, instantly bringing Xia Fei to the fourth floor!
The scorching heat made him feel like he was in an oven!
All he saw was a sea of lava before him. The lava was tumbling like a river, slamming against the shore layer by layer.
The fiery red color reflected the white stalactites at the top of the cave. If not for the fact that they were wearing Combat Suits, they would have been turned into barbecued meat the moment they arrived here!
Furball suddenly opened his eyes. His entire body was bathed in the light of the fire and the waves of heat, appearing very relaxed. He had been sleeping the entire time they were making their way through the labyrinth, not even sparing a glance at the traps around him. For him to be able to sleep so soundly in the face of such danger, Xia Fei could not help but be impressed by this fellow's tenacity.
Xia Fei pulled down his mask and put on his glasses to prevent the excessive heat from hurting his eyes.
There was nothing but lava in front of him, and he didn't know how to pass through.
The integrator displayed the environment of the fourth level. The two teleportation points were a lava pool that was thousands of miles long. Apart from that, there was nothing else.
"How do we get there? Even if we fly, we can't fly through this huge pool of lava. The scorching temperature will cook us," Spiritshadow said, stroking his chin.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. They were at least five miles away from the lava, and the heat waves were already unbearable, not to mention the fact that they were directly above the lava pool. Anyone with a bit of common sense in physics would know that the heat would go up.
Suddenly! A gloomy voice spoke!
"You're that human warrior?"
Xia Fei followed the voice and looked over, only to see an insectoid warrior wearing a gray combat suit stealthily walking out from the forest of stalactites in the distance!
Xia Fei had extraordinary perception, yet he was unable to sense when this insectoid had arrived here!
Recalling the weak energy feedback he felt in the labyrinth on the third level, Xia Fei understood. It turned out that this insectoid had followed him into the third level and arrived at the fourth level of the Lava Purgatory one step ahead of him.
Hiding his aura and arriving first despite moving later, it seemed that this insectoid warrior was no simple character!
Xia Fei nodded without batting an eyelid. He moved his feet lightly, cautiously guarding against this insectoid.
Furball yawned, his eyes unperturbed as he looked at the black silhouette behind that insectoid. It seemed to be a large spotted civet.
"I'm Nimuni."
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback before he smiled. "So it's an expert ranked ninth on the Sacred Warrior Leaderboard, the insectoid race's fastest speed ability user. Nice to meet you."
Nimuni moved his feet lightly just like Xia Fei, the two circling around each other.
Turning back to look at the trembling civet, Nimuni said, "Your exotic beast is very powerful, scaring my Littleflower so much that it can't even move. I wonder what sort of exotic beast it is, and what rank it is?"
Xia Fei suddenly revealed a playful smile, causing Nimuni to feel a chill down his spine.
Furball, who was perched on his shoulder, seemed to be very unwilling, opening his mouth and letting out three low growls! All of them were aimed at the Spotted Civet!
The first growl caused the civet's fur to stand on end, its ears perking up.
The second growl caused the civet's amber eyes to roll upward, and it collapsed to the ground.
By the time Furball growled for the third time, that unlucky civet was already dead, its appearance too horrible to look at.
"It's called Furball, and it has no rank," Xia Fei casually said.
Nimuni's expression changed drastically. For his exotic beast to be scared to death with just three growls, it was evident that Furball's rank was unimaginably high!
"The exotic beast is very powerful, but that doesn't mean that you are, too!" Nimuni stood still and pointed at Xia Fei. "Do you know why I'm the strongest Ability User in the insectoid race?"
Xia Fei shrugged nonchalantly.
"It's indeed very impressive of you to break 30,000 meters per second, but my speed is even faster than yours!"
"Take this!"
* Whoosh! *
Before he finished speaking, Nimuni was already right in front of Xia Fei, a silver hook suddenly appearing on his wrist. The hook had a peculiar appearance, looking like an eagle's claw!
His speed was very fast! Even faster than Xia Fei!
"40,000 meters per second! Xia Fei, be careful! "Phantom exclaimed in shock!
By the time he shouted those words, Xia Fei had already received no less than a hundred of Nimuni's attacks!
It must be said that this was a duel between two top-notch Speed Ability Users, and even 'dazzling' was not enough to describe their battle!
Intense! Fast!
* Bang! *
October Flying Snow and Nimuni's silver hook clashed, letting out an ear-piercing screech. The two retreated to the side, each occupying a corner of the battlefield.
Nimuni let out an arrogant laugh. "Now you know! A duel between Speed Ability Users has always been about who's faster!
"Your reaction speed was indeed very fast! However, you're at a disadvantage in terms of speed! Let's see how long you can last with just your reaction speed alone! "
* Whoosh! *
Another duel!
In a single second, both sides had actually launched over five hundred attacks and counterattacks! Even the most advanced high-speed video camera would have a hard time replaying the duel.
When the two separated, Xia Fei had a small cut on his left pinky, and a few drops of blood flowed from the wound. Meanwhile, Nimuni was completely unscathed.
Xia Fei's expression turned grave. Nimuni was right. In a duel between Speed Ability Users, it was only natural for the one with the higher speed to win. Xia Fei was a quarter slower than Nimuni in terms of speed, and it must be understood that this small gap was enough to be fatal in a battle that was constantly changing!
Fortunately, Xia Fei still had Crafty Approach and his extraordinary reaction speed. It was already not easy for him to barely hold on, and victory was still in the foreseeable future.
Furball whimpered anxiously. It could see that Xia Fei was injured, yet it was unable to help, for how could its energy ball catch up to Nimuni, who had a speed of forty thousand meters per second? Even if it attacked, it would be useless.
"This is humanity's strongest Speed Ability User? You've really disappointed me. " Nimuni laughed heartily. "I haven't even used my full strength yet. If I were to go all out, I'm afraid you won't even last a minute."
Xia Fei did not bat an eyelid. His brain was working at high speed, trying to find a way to deal with this.
"If you surrender now and are willing to crawl under my crotch, I'll spare your life," Nimuni spread his legs and said sinisterly, a smug look on his face.
Xia Fei's eyebrows knitted together, but he soon revealed a smile.
His finger lightly pressed on his right arm, activating Celestial Moon's safety switch.
Nimuni laughed. "It's useless. What's the use of that strange circular blade on your right arm? In terms of speed, you've already lost."
Xia Fei very calmly extended two fingers and wagged them. "There's one thing you're wrong about."
"What is it?"
"I'm not the fastest Speed Ability User among humans."
Nimuni coldly harrumphed. "I guessed not, either. With your cultivation, you're not even worthy of washing my feet!"
Xia Fei tried to move his limbs, seemingly unbothered by Nimuni's arrogance. However, Furball could not take it anymore, using this gap to fire three energy balls in a row.
* Whoosh! *
Nimuni moved a hundred meters away like a phantom, and all of Furball's attacks missed.
"Little fellow, don't you know that speed is the hardest ability to deal with in the universe? Your master isn't my match, and neither are you," Nimuni teased.
Furball understood what he was saying and howled, so angry that its eyes had turned red!
Xia Fei reached out and smacked its head. "There's no need for you to do anything to deal with this thing. If I can't even take care of this thing, I don't have the right to be your master."
"Arrogant!" Nimuni rebuked Xia Fei instead. "You clearly can't beat me, so what's the use of spouting such nonsense? You truly are a despicable human! "
Xia Fei did not bat an eyelid as he lightly hooked his finger, as if asking Nimuni to try attacking.
Nimuni was furious. Forty thousand meters per second versus thirty thousand meters per second! It was only a matter of time before Xia Fei lost, and he could not understand what reason Xia Fei had to continue being so arrogant.
"Then I'll let you witness my true strength!"
* Snap! *
The gray combat suit he was wearing suddenly tightened, outlining his toned muscles, and his combat boots shone even brighter.
Speed ability users were very reliant on combat suits, and if not for the combat suits, they would have long since charged out of the planet with their speed exceeding that of the third universe.
"Take this!"
Nimuni's body was like a bow, the silver hook in front of him as he charged toward Xia Fei like a bolt of lightning!
Meanwhile, Xia Fei actually stood where he was without moving!
Was he going to give up just like that?!
"Thousand Venerables!" Xia Fei suddenly roared!
Just as Nimuni's silver hook was less than a hundred meters away from Xia Fei, an unexpected scene happened!
* Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! *
Celestial Moon suddenly transformed into a silver light that filled the sky! It surrounded the battlefield so tightly that nothing could get through!
This was the third-tier mental control technique, Thousand Venerables!
It was a berserk large area of effect attack!
Celestial Moon, which was originally made up of eighteen circular blades, suddenly turned into 1,800,000! Every corner! Every gap was under its attack!
Nimuni had already started moving, and he did not have Xia Fei's incredible Crafty Approach, so he had no way of dodging the violent attack of the third-tier psychokinesis technique!
The faster he was, the more severe the damage he sustained when he collided with Celestial Moon!
* Bang! *
The insectoid race's number one speed ability user, Nimuni, was now covered in blood! His body was pierced by countless blades!
* Bang! *
Nimuni's corpse flew high up into the sky before finally landing heavily on the ground, no longer breathing.
Xia Fei's lips curled into a sinister smile as he muttered to himself, "I forgot to tell you. I might not be the fastest, but I'm the only dual-ability user among humans!"
Hurrah!
