A Battle Maniac
Xiao Yong felt a chill run down his spine. He rubbed his eyes and woke up from his sleep. Using the faint moonlight to look around, he could not help but tremble in fear.
The expensive white fox fur blanket he was wearing had long been dyed red with blood. It was heavy and damp, as if it had just been fished out of a sea of blood.
The corpses of Black Eight-fingers and the goateed man were lying on the side, their four eyes staring coldly at him.
Xiao Yong was terrified. He hurriedly lifted the blanket, wanting to see if the blood was theirs or his.
At this moment, a cyan short sword stretched out from behind him and rested against his neck. The blade was incomparably sharp, causing people to shudder in fear.
"Don't move," Xia Fei said coldly. "If you dare make any noise, you'll end up like them."
Xiao Yong forcefully suppressed the fear in his heart. His heart was thumping wildly as if it was about to jump out of his chest.
Dont kill me! Dont kill me! I have money! As long as you spare me, all this money is yours! Xiao Yong repeated as cold sweat dripped from his temples.
He quickly removed the large spatial ring from his hand and handed it over to his back.
The craftsmanship of his ring was very exquisite. It was inlaid with a crystal clear emerald green spatial stone. One look was enough to tell that this ring was of a much higher grade than the one on Xia Fei's hand.
Xia Fei took the ring and placed it in his bosom. His Chasing Light was still pressed against Xiao Yong's neck, ready to strike.
Xiao Yong groaned inwardly, cursing his unscrupulous cousin Xiao Haili in his heart. He hated him for making him come to the north. Now that he had gotten what he wanted, he was about to lose his life.
Ive given you everything. What do you think? Xiao Haili said in a trembling voice.
Now, I will ask you a question, and you will answer it. If you dont tell me the truth, Ill send you to where you belong. Understood? Xia Fei said in a deep voice.
Xiao Haili did not dare to disobey and repeatedly agreed.
Let me ask you: Where is Xiao Yu? Did your men kidnap her? "Xia Fei gritted his teeth as he asked.
What Xiao Yu? What a great injustice! I really dont know anyone called Xiao Yong. Xiao Yong cried out in innocence, a miserable look on his face.
Xia Fei's heart turned cold. Through his observation of Xiao Yong's words and actions, Xia Fei was certain that Xiao Yong was telling the truth. Were these people really unrelated to Xiao Yu's disappearance? This was the only clue they had!
Slowly sighing, Xia Fei continued, "Let me ask you again: Who told you to come to the north?"
Xiao Yong was startled. "No! No one! We suffered heavy losses in the east, so we came to the north to try our luck. "
Xiao Yong did not dare to mention Xiao Haili's matter, as it concerned his future. If news of him colluding with a candidate were to spread, then Xiao Haili's decades of hard work in the Adjudicator Union would go down the drain. When that happened, not only would Xiao Haili not let him off, even the people in the family would not let Xiao Yong off easily. After all, Xiao Haili was the top talent of the younger generation in the family, the hope of the family.
Xia Fei laughed coldly. Pushing Chasing Light forward by half an inch, the blade accurately cutting through Xiao Yong's skin. If he pushed it just a little bit further, his artery would be severed, and even the heavens would not be able to save him then.
Xiao Yong could only feel a burning pain on his neck as some warm liquid flowed down the wound and into his underwear before gradually cooling down.
Xiao Yong panicked. Suppressing the extreme fear in his heart, he sat there unmoving, for if he moved even the slightest bit, the blade would slit his throat.
Xia Fei pulled Chasing Light back a little, leaving just enough space for him to speak.
"I'll ask you one last time: Who is that person?" Xia Fei asked with a gloomy expression.
At this point, Xiao Yong could no longer care about Xiao Haili. His life was in someone else's hands, and he would not even hesitate to betray his own mother, let alone a distant cousin.
He opened his mouth slightly and was about to speak when all of a sudden! A bone-chilling intent came from behind Xia Fei!
"Someone's there!" Xia Fei's heart tightened. His two legs suddenly exerted force, and his entire body leaped forward. At the same time, Chasing Light lightly slit Xiao Yong's artery and throat.
There was no time to hesitate in the face of such a situation. Kill first!
A few seconds later, Xia Fei was already two kilometers away. He lay on the ground and looked across, his eyes blazing. "Just a few more seconds and I'll know that person's name. Just who could have appeared at this time?"
Soon, a robust figure leaped down from the pit in the night and arrived in front of the three corpses, checking on their wounds.
This person was at least 1.9 meters tall. He was bare-chested and only wore a pair of shorts. The brown muscles on his body were very conspicuous under the moonlight. He looked like an excellent bodybuilder. Every muscle on his body was clearly visible.
He wore a thick necklace around his neck. The necklace was strung together with thirty-six black pearls, swaying as he walked.
His long black hair was tied into a ponytail. He had a square face, a wide chin, and a determined gaze.
After checking on the wounds of the three corpses, this person exclaimed, "Eh? What a beautiful sword technique! "
The burly man turned around and patted his chest in the direction where Xia Fei was hiding. "My name is Chen Dong! I come from the Empire of Frost. I can see that your sword technique is pretty good. I wonder if you have the guts to come out and fight me? If you win, all of these belong to you! "
The burly man roared. His voice was like thunder, and it could be clearly heard from dozens of miles away. It was filled with confidence and challenge.
It sounded like he was issuing a fair challenge to Xia Fei. His words were a little arrogant, but it was not annoying.
Xia Fei lay on the ground, not moving an inch, and continued to observe him.
All he saw was Chen Dong taking off a small bag from his waist, opening it, and slowly pouring the contents onto the ground.
Among them, there were dozens of red tokens for the second stage alone! The rest were all spatial rings, and there were no less than a hundred of them!
'Could these all be his spoils of war?' Xia Fei thought.
Shocking!
Extremely shocking!
Not only was Chen Dong able to escape unscathed from the slaughter of hundreds of thousands of candidates, but just by looking at the spoils of war in his hands, one could tell that he had killed countless people along the way!
"This person is very interesting. He treats this assessment as a kind of trial. What he cares about isn't whether he can become an Adjudicator or not, but rather, he enjoys each and every battle." Phantom shook his head in admiration. "This sort of person is either a lunatic or a martial arts fanatic."
Xia Fei nodded, agreeing with Phantom's opinion. Though he was openly challenging Xia Fei, Xia Fei did not feel any disgust for this person. Instead, he admired his boldness.
At this moment, Chen Dong's body was suddenly covered in a suit of ice and snow armor. He was wrapped in white ice from head to toe. The sparkling white armor looked exceptionally beautiful under the illumination of the starlight.
"A Nature Ability User!" Phantom's eyes lit up as he exclaimed.
"Nature Ability User?" Xia Fei was puzzled. The ice armor on Chen Dong's body seemed to have appeared out of nowhere, and he had no idea how he did it.
"Yeah." Phantom appeared very excited as he said, "Nature Ability Users possess the mystical power of nature. His ability should be of the ice attribute, able to instantly turn the water molecules in the air into hard ice. Not only can he protect himself, but he also has very powerful offensive capabilities."
Xia Fei thought about it. "How does the Nature Ability User compare to Xiao Yu's Defense Ability?"
Xia Fei felt a pang of sadness in his heart the moment he said that. He had no idea where this poor child was or whether she was safe or not.
Phantom sighed as he sat on the ground with his head tilted. "Defense Ability Users focus on defense while offense is a supplement. They have strong defense but weak offense. Meanwhile, most Nature Ability Users focus on offense while defense is a supplement. Chen Dong's Ice Ability User is even more outstanding. It has a strong defense while also having a very powerful offense. It's the most balanced of the Nature Ability Users."
The two of them were silent for a while. Xia Fei and Phantom did not feel too good at the mention of Xiao Yu, and the atmosphere was a little heavy.
"Since you guys are here, why don't you show yourselves! Come out and fight me if you have the guts! " Chen Dong excitedly said to the people behind him. As long as there was a fight to fight, Chen Dong's eyes would turn green.
After yelling for a long time, no one came out. Chen Dong was getting a little anxious. "You gutless bastard! Since you're not fighting, why are you following me? You're simply wasting my time! "
He turned around and faced Xia Fei once more. "Those over here, are you going to fight or not? If you want to fight, hurry up and come over. I'll let you and that bunch of grandsons behind me come at me together! "
Xia Fei was speechless. This Chen Dong was really interesting. He loved to fight to the point of being crazy. Others would fight for a reason, be it because of competition or because of anger, but this person was purely fighting for the sake of fighting. It was as if he was born to fight.
Chen Dong stood there and yelled for a long time, but no one came out to fight. He angrily kept his bag and walked back the way he came.
"Boring! Too boring! Since you guys aren't coming over, I'll fight my way back! "Chen Dong bellowed.
Spreading his legs, Chen Dong sprinted in the direction he came from. Xia Fei saw a group of black shadows from afar and immediately scattered, seemingly very afraid of the battle maniac Chen Dong.
Standing up, Xia Fei turned and sprinted west. Those people who came with Chen Dong were a threat, and Xia Fei did not want to engage in a pointless fight. He needed to avoid them.
Besides, Xiao Yu was also taken west, so Xia Fei did not want to let go of any possible clues.
