Immemorial Mystical Armament Phoenix Tail Stone
Chapter 658: Immemorial Mystical Armament Phoenix Tail Stone
"If I didn't become a slave, I would've been killed by him!" Seth said with lingering fear.
Xia Fei was stunned. "Who wanted to kill you?"
Seth was a defense-type expert, so only a super expert would be able to threaten him into becoming a slave!
"I'll have to start from a few months ago." Seth gulped, deciding to spill everything he knew.
"You might know that I'm a mercenary, traveling the world to capture slaves for a living. After all these years of hard work, I finally managed to accumulate some fame and wealth. I was already planning to retire and find a quiet place to live the rest of my life, but that was when a slave trader called Lu Yuming came to me and offered me an offer that I couldn't refuse. He wanted me to bring my brothers to help him wipe out a tribe and capture the people inside.
"I thought that it wouldn't be a bad idea to do this before retiring. After all, that Lu brat offered a very high price. I would be able to get a large pension, and my brothers would have a stable life in the future. Thus, I agreed and brought all my brothers to a remote planet.
"At first, the work went very smoothly. Though those red-skinned Flame Imps were strong, they weren't very smart. We first sent a batch of gifts over, causing the tribe to split the spoils unevenly. Then, we fanned the flames and stirred up internal strife. When a few of the best warriors were heavily injured, I brought my brothers to wipe out the Flame Imp tribe in one fell swoop!
"These are the usual tricks we use in the business of capturing people. My brothers were very familiar with it, and we managed to capture more than half of a tribe of thirty thousand people, successfully completing the mission."
Seth was very pleased with himself when he talked about his methods, but his expression gradually turned gloomy when he changed the topic.
"Just as we were loading the goods onto the ship and preparing to hand in the mission, a tall Lionheart suddenly appeared in the tribe! The Lionhearts are a major clan of the Demon Race, and it's rare to see them in the Exiled Grounds. Not only is this person a Great Law Emperor, but he also has a strange stone that's rhombus-shaped, like a pheasant's tail.
"That stone is too powerful. It's like a weapon with a mind of its own, darting around in the air. It's a pity that my thousands of brothers all lost their lives. If not for my Crag Defense, I'm afraid I would've died there, too!
"Now that I think about it, I'm really scared. If he had attacked me with all his might, I would have been able to hold on for ten minutes at most. Once the Cliff Defense was broken, I would have lost my life! That Lionheart warrior gave me two choices. I could either be killed by him or sell myself as a slave, so I went to the Liu family and sold myself as a slave. "
Xia Fei carefully observed Seth's expression and realized that he did not seem to be lying. As such, the question of why Seth had become a slave was easily solved. It turned out that he had been forced to do so.
The communication system allowed Xia Fei to see Lionheart Emperor Oro in his retina, only to see that the demon lord was abnormally excited.
"Ask him what that Lionheart warrior looks like, where he lives, and what's his name?!" Oro shouted, his eyes almost spitting fire!
Xia Fei could not understand why Oro would have such a huge reaction, so he asked Seth about that Lionheart warrior with some doubts.
"I don't know his name, but I'll never forget what he looks like for the rest of my life. Unlike the other Lionhearts, who have golden fur all over their bodies, this Great Law Emperor is bald on the left side of his head, and the rest is also covered in fiery red fur, like half a firework. Moreover, there are five claw marks on his bald head, as if a wild beast had ripped his scalp open! It's extremely terrifying! He's wearing a mask that's commonly seen among the Lionhearts, so I can't see his face.
"He's really tall, at least six meters! Every step he takes leaves a crater! According to him, he lives on the same planet as those red-skinned Flame Imps, and after some time, he became friends with them. He only stopped me when he saw that I was about to overturn the tribe, killing all my subordinates as a warning. The next time I see him, he'll kill me and drink my blood! "
Seth said in a trembling voice. From his expression, it was not hard to tell just how terrifying the Lionheart Law Emperor was, and he broke out in a cold sweat the moment he mentioned it.
Xia Fei did not pursue the matter. He was more curious about Oro's reaction. The old demon lord living in Xia Fei's ring had already gone crazy! He was roaring at the top of his lungs! His two hands were pulling at his thick golden hair!
"I've never seen anyone break through the Crag Defense as easily as you did. I believe that your cultivation must be extraordinary, so let me follow you! That Lionheart Great Law Emperor and that stone in his hand are practically divine weapons! I'll have nightmares every night! This isn't a life for humans! "Seth could not stop begging.
Xia Fei did not reply, carefully observing Oro's reaction. He had no idea what had made him so furious.
"Buy this guy and have him lead us to that Lionheart warrior," the old demon lord said in a deep voice after going berserk for a while.
Xia Fei was taken aback. "What? Do you know the person Seth mentioned? "
"I don't just know him! I've ventured deep into the Exiled Grounds several times just to find him! The heavens truly have eyes. Kane, after ten thousand years, you've still ended up in my hands! "Oro's eyes were bloodshot as he said this.
"That warrior with the cultivation of a Great Law Emperor is called Kane?"
"That's right. Through Seth's description, I'm certain that it's him. I left those five marks on his head back then, and I won't forget them even if I turn into ashes!"
Xia Fei thought for a few moments before asking, "That's not right. He's only a Great Law Emperor, so there's no way he could have lived for tens of thousands of years. Could you have made a mistake?"
Oro had an indestructible body, so his enemies must have been from tens of thousands of years ago. How could he have survived until today? Xia Fei wondered if there was some misunderstanding.
Oro sighed. "A Great Law Emperor indeed can't live for tens of thousands of years, but the Law of Life can! As the last inheritor of the Law of Life, Kane was personally taught by me, for he's my disciple. "
'Your disciple?!'
There was a moment of silence. Xia Fei was silent, waiting for Oro to calm down and tell him about this history.
"Quinn was once a member of the Lionheart royalty, a blood relative of mine. From a very young age, Quinn displayed his unique talent, becoming a Law Warrior at the age of twelve, a Law Sovereign at the age of fourteen, a Law Emperor at the age of sixteen, and a Great Law Emperor at the age of seventeen, specializing in the Law of Darkness.
"Everyone in the clan admired him, and as the patriarch of the clan at the time, I personally took him in as my disciple. Not only did I teach him the power of laws, I even taught him the most important Law of Life. Kane certainly did not disappoint me. In just a few years, he made a name for himself in the circle, and everyone praised the Lionheart Royalty for producing yet another genius with extraordinary talent."
"Alas, good times don't last. While I was away, Kane stole the family's most important Phoenix Tail Stone, subduing it and taking it for himself. In a fit of anger, I injured him, shattering his seventh brain region. He relied on the Phoenix Tail Stone to escape to the Exiled Grounds. I've come here several times to look for him, but I've never been able to find him."
Xia Fei was stunned. "The Phoenix Tail Stone! Immemorial Mystical Armaments are divided into five major elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. The earth element has the Four Stones of the Southern Star, the Phoenix Tail Stone, the Distant Dark Stone, the Skydestroyer Stone, and the Flowing Cloud Stone! Could the Phoenix Tail Stone you speak of be one of the Immemorial Mystical Armaments?! "
Oro nodded. "That's right. The Four Stones of the Southern Star were once in the possession of our Lionheart Clan. Our ancestor even combined the Four Earth Mystical Armaments to create the great situation our clan is in today. Alas, with our ancestor's death, the Four Stones of the Southern Star were once again scattered. Our Lionheart Clan spent a lot of effort only to find one of them, and that was the Phoenix Tail Stone, but it was stolen by that disloyal and unfilial Kane!"
Xia Fei shook his head, not knowing what was going on. "From what I know, it's extremely difficult for an Immemorial Mystical Armament to recognize a master. Since Kane is your favorite disciple, and he even made the Phoenix Tail Stone recognize him as its master, though it was wrong of him to steal it, there's no need for you to hunt him down and take his life. Wouldn't it be better to just punish such a genius?"
Xia Fei felt that it was a little too harsh to kill someone for stealing. Everyone made mistakes when they were young, and it was fine as long as they changed.
The old demon lord sternly said, "The reason why he must die isn't because he stole the Phoenix Tail Stone but because that bastard killed his own father when he was caught stealing!"
Xia Fei was speechless. It turned out that Kane was so ruthless that he would kill his own father in order to protect him! Such an act was not to be regretted even if he died!
"Kane's father was my cousin. He didn't have much talent, but he was loyal and honest his entire life. I trusted him deeply, so I entrusted many important secrets to him. It's a pity that he was cautious his entire life, but in the end, he died at the hands of his own son. Tell me, should I kill such a bastard?! Should I?! "
The Lionheart Emperor Oro was furious, wanting nothing more than to charge out and kill Kane!
"There's no doubt about it! I injured his seventh brain region, so even after so many years, his cultivation is still at the Great Law Emperor level, not improving at all. Alas, I also passed on the Law of Life to him, which is why he's still alive today! "the old demon lord angrily said.
Xia Fei completely understood. It was no wonder Oro had gone berserk. Such an evil person truly deserved to be killed. Letting Kane live would be letting down that loyal and honest father of his.
Many years had passed, and Kane felt that the Lionhearts' pursuit of him had ceased, which was why he had gathered his courage and gradually revealed himself in the Exiled Grounds. Coincidentally, he had been discovered by Xia Fei and Oro.
"Even if you let me go now, I don't have the ability to kill Kane. After all, I've lost all my cultivation, and it'll take me many years to reincarnate. I don't want such a bastard to live for even a minute longer! Xia Fei! You have to help me kill him! "the old demon lord urgently said.
Xia Fei smiled. "I'm quite willing to help you, but Kane has the cultivation of a Great Law Emperor, and even the defense-type level 2 Law Emperor Seth was scared to the point of wetting his pants. I'm afraid that it'll be rather difficult for me to deal with him. Besides, old people become wily, and Kane has cultivated the Law of Life for more than ten thousand years. I can't rush such a person; I'll need to slowly plan."
Oro was somewhat dissatisfied. "Kane has the Phoenix Tail Stone, and you have the strengthened Peacock Blue. There's no need to fear him at all! Besides, I was the one who passed on Kane's strength, so no one knows better than me how to deal with it!
"The Immemorial Mystical Armament Peacock Blue has been fused with the Nine Night Plum, which is also an Immemorial Mystical Armament, becoming a brand new weapon. The Phoenix Tail Stone is the perfect reference for its effects! There's no need to think about it. We'll set off immediately! "
