Explosive Point
"Undead Beast King, Nine-armored Land Drake?" Xia Fei's eyes lit up as he muttered to himself.
The Nine-armored Land Drake was a rank 9 Beast King, an undead type exotic beast. Despite its majestic appearance, it was actually just a walking corpse.
Unlike other types of exotic beasts, the Nine-armored Land Drake had a core in its chest that was formed by absorbing the Origin Energy of the universe, called the Beast Spirit Core. The Beast Spirit Codex once mentioned that all exotic beasts had a Beast Spirit Fire, but this undead exotic beast had materialized its Beast Spirit Fire, turning it into a shiny crystal.
As long as this crystal was still there, no one could kill it. After its body was cut off, it would immediately regenerate. The same was true for its internal organs. Unless the Beast Spirit Core in its body was destroyed, it would continue to be regenerated, regenerated, and regenerated.
After all, the Beast Spirit Core was formed from the fusion of the Origin Energy of the universe and the unique life force of the exotic beast. It was extremely sturdy, and it would be very difficult to destroy it without an exceptional cultivation or divine weapon. This was why these exotic beasts were called undead. It was not that they could not die, but that normal warriors had no way of dealing with them.
Xia Fei did not care about this undead exotic beast. The peanut-sized Furball on his shoulder was a Holy Beast, and who knew how many times stronger it was than this stupid fellow.
What truly moved Xia Fei were the nine vertical scales on the Nine-armored Land Drake's back. These scales were as sharp as knives, and they faintly glowed a fiery red. One look was enough to tell that it was no ordinary object. Exotic beasts being undead was of course miraculous, but the wonders of those nine vertical scales far surpassed the exotic beast itself.
"Haha, a Nine-armored Land Drake!" Lionheart Emperor Oro excitedly exclaimed. "Every part of an undead exotic beast is a treasure. Aside from its powerful combat strength, it can also be used as medicine. The crystal in its body can also be used as an additional material to create Law weapons, adding attributes to weapons or armor. Those artificers will surely go crazy with joy if they see it.
"It's precisely because every part of an undead exotic beast is a treasure that Law Adepts hunt them down on a large scale. Their numbers are getting fewer and fewer, and they're on the verge of extinction. It's truly rare to see an undead Nine-armored Land Drake here. Why don't you ask these mercenaries if they're selling it and buy it? It's not like you're lacking money."
Xia Fei did not say a word. Oro was right. The Nine-armored Land Drake's entire body was a treasure, and as the inheritor of the Beast Spirit Codex, Xia Fei was far more aware of this than Oro.
The nine Fire Scales and the crystal in his body could form a set of [Explosive Points]!
Burst Point, also known as Instant Accelerator, could provide extreme acceleration at critical moments. Xia Fei's current speed per second was 30,000, and if he had a Burst Point, he could instantly increase his speed by three times, which was 90,000 per second!
The nine vertical scales were the key to activating the Explosive Point. Every activation would consume one scale, allowing the user to instantly accelerate nine times. The Nine-armored Land Drake's scales were fiery red, a sign that it had matured. Three times acceleration was at least possible, four times, or even five times was not impossible.
If his opponent had a speed of 50,000 and Xia Fei only had 30,000, Xia Fei, who had lower speed, would undoubtedly be forced into a passive position. After all, super speed was a headache. Even an Immemorial Mystical Armament like Peacock Blue would find it hard to catch his opponent, and if he could not catch his opponent, how was Xia Fei supposed to press his opponent to the ground and beat him up? How was he supposed to stab the Blood Crystal into his opponent's body?
If he had an Explosive Point, Xia Fei could use his speed to instantly overwhelm his opponent, and when that happened, the unlucky one would be the unprepared opponent. He could suddenly accelerate, rush forward, and finish the battle with a single slash, clean and decisive!
Against an opponent who was faster than him, an Explosive Point was the only way!
With a light smile, Xia Fei said, "Though the Nine-armored Land Drake is good, these people don't come with good intentions."
Just as the old demon lord was about to ask why, the old man on the bridge suddenly spoke.
"You want this Beast King lizard of mine?"
"That's right. Name your price," the curly-haired mercenary replied.
"Hmph!" The old man coldly laughed. "This lizard is my precious treasure, and there's no way I'm selling it. If you have the ability, then kill him. This old man will have no complaints."
"Remember what you said!"
"Don't feel bad if I kill him!"
The seven or eight mercenaries were all agitated, all of them shouting.
"But!" The old man's expression turned cold. "If you can't kill my treasure, then you'll have to leave your weapons behind and apologize to my treasure!"
The mercenaries were slightly taken aback. It turned out that this old man was making a bet with them, letting them use their weapons to attack the Nine-armored Land Drake, and if their attacks were ineffective, they would have to hand over their weapons.
The lizard seemed to understand what the humans were saying, for it raised its head high and looked at them disdainfully.
The mercenaries were enraged, eager to give it a try. Unfortunately, they had no idea that this was an undead exotic beast. If an undead beast could be killed with a single stab, it would be too worthless. Moreover, this Nine-armored Land Drake was already a level 9 Beast King, just a step away from becoming a Divine Beast. Let alone them, even a Law Emperor or Great Law Emperor would be helpless against it!
The undead were such a heaven-defying existence!
"I'll go first!" The silly-looking fat man took out a trident from his waist. It was pitch-black and looked like a decent divine weapon.
"Old man, you're too full of yourself. Today, Grandpa will let you know that there's no beast in this world that can't be killed!"
The old man stroked his beard, looking nonchalant. The Nine-armored Land Drake raised its head even higher, its small golden eyes filled with disdain.
The fat mercenary was enraged, thrusting his trident forward.
* Splat! *
Three spikes pierced the Land Drake's body at the same time, but the strange lizard did not move at all, as if it was a statue!
"What, what's going on?" The mercenaries stared at each other, not knowing what to do.
"Doesn't it feel pain?"
"It's not even bleeding. This lizard can't be fake, right?"
Just as everyone was in shock, the black trident slowly slid out of the lizard's body and landed on the bridge. The wound caused by the spikes silently healed, as if nothing had happened.
"It … It's closed!"
"This lizard can't possibly be undead, can it?!"
The mercenaries were speechless. None of them had seen such a miraculous sight before. The wound could actually heal on its own? How could this be? Could it be that this strange lizard had an undead body?
The old man smiled and waved his hand on the bridge. The trident that was of good quality disappeared.
"Thanks for letting me win. Your weapon is now mine. If anyone else wants to try, feel free to come at me!"
As he spoke, the old man inadvertently glanced at Xia Fei from the corner of his eyes. At such a close distance, Xia Fei, of course, could see and hear everything clearly.
Seeing that Xia Fei was not making any moves, the curly-haired mercenary tried attacking the Nine-armored Land Drake again. Learning from the fat mercenary's experience, he used a short blade with a blue glow to stab the lizard's head.
Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that the short blade was poisoned. This man's methods were quite insidious.
Unfortunately, how could poison harm an undead exotic beast? His weapon had also been taken away by that old man.
Everyone was enraged, pulling out all sorts of weapons to attack the Nine-armored Land Drake. The Nine-armored Land Drake did not seem to care, and the old man did not stop them either. In less than two seconds, the lizard's body had been pierced by twenty weapons!
Short blades, long blades, short swords, and even an awl used to open red wine!
* Clap clap clap clap! *
Twenty or so weapons fell off the Nine-armored Land Drake's body just like before, and the wounds all over its body healed in less than a second!
Everyone's jaws dropped, their faces filled with disbelief!
"Amazing! Truly amazing! "
The old man picked up all the weapons on the ground and cupped his hands. "Thanks for letting me win. Everyone is too kind, gifting me so many treasured weapons at once. Just nice, this old man can exchange them for a few more jugs of wine."
The mercenaries were livid, yet they could not say anything. After all, they had agreed beforehand that they would have to hand over their weapons if they could not kill the lizard, so they could only bear with it no matter how frustrated they were.
Xia Fei, who had been watching coldly, smiled and slowly walked over. The group of mercenaries very tacitly opened up a path for him. Their eyes no longer had the disappointment from before, but were instead filled with excitement.
* Hiss hiss *
The Nine-armored Land Drake, which had been incomparably arrogant a moment ago, suddenly lowered its head like a frosted eggplant. Its entire body went limp, and it kept licking Xia Fei's feet with its forked tongue in an extremely servile manner.
Everyone was very puzzled. Xia Fei had not said or done anything at all, so why was the undead rank 9 Beast King the first to go limp? Who knew where that arrogance from before had gone?
* Slap! *
Furball, who was perched on his shoulder, received a slap from Xia Fei. "How could you scare others like that?"
Furball was now the size of a peanut and was very inconspicuous. If not for Xia Fei's actions, everyone would probably not have noticed him.
Furball was not at all upset after receiving a slap from Xia Fei. Instead, it worked even harder to please Xia Fei.
The mercenaries did not know what Furball was, but the old man knew very well. At this moment, his face had turned green, and beads of sweat were dripping down his face.
'Holy Beast! Holy Beast Shatterstar! ' The old man cried out in his mind. This was especially so after seeing Xia Fei slap the Holy Beast, which sent a chill down his spine!
Most people would worship the Holy Beast Shatterstar as their ancestor, but no one would slap it like Xia Fei. Did he not know that he had just slapped a Holy Beast?!
This was far from enough. While the old man was still in shock, Xia Fei reprimanded Furball once more. "Remember, it's not right to scare others."
Furball nodded repeatedly as if he understood Xia Fei's words.
"You have to kill it like I did."
Xia Fei said it very casually, as if he was discussing whether to eat fried dough sticks or biscuits for breakfast.
Just as he finished speaking, a dull red suddenly streaked across and landed on the Nine-armored Land Drake's back!
The 1.5-meter-long lizard was fat and strange, and the moment the Blood Crystal entered its body, the Nine-armored Land Drake let out a heart-wrenching roar!
There was no resistance, and it was more like a bitter plea filled with fear!
* Whoosh! *
Like a deflated balloon, the Nine-armored Land Drake's body of over 150 kilograms rapidly began to shrivel up!
One second!
A second ago, a rank 9 Beast King was still alive, but a second later, it had become a withered mummy!
* Bang! *
Xia Fei crushed the dried corpse with one foot and found a golden crystal. He then took out the nine vertical scales on its back and proudly observed them in his hand.
Everything had happened too quickly. Before anyone could react, Xia Fei had already taken care of the Nine-armored Land Drake. Seeing the shocked expressions on everyone's faces, Xia Fei felt more pained than if his own mother had died, especially that old man, whose murky eyes were actually welling up with tears.
"Thank you."
With that, Xia Fei patted the dumbfounded Seth on the shoulder and turned around to walk along the wooden bridge.
"To actually bring out an undead Beast King just to put on a show, you guys sure are professional," Xia Fei said as if he was talking to himself.
* Pfft *
Hearing that, the old man, who was already feeling like a knife was being twisted in his heart, could no longer hold it in and spat out a mouthful of blood! His face was pale!
"Stop right there!" The old man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and staggered to his feet.
