A Man-Eater
"He's waiting for you to reveal all your trump cards. This man is very sinister!" Oro whispered into Xia Fei's ear.
As an immortal expert, Oro's eyes had seen all sorts of enemies, so this Shepherdian chieftain's tactical intentions were not hidden from him.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. Waiting for him to reveal all his trump cards? If that was the case, then this chieftain was determined to kill him! Even at the cost of his guards' lives, he wanted to figure out his strength? Why was that?
Things did not develop as Xia Fei had planned. Logically speaking, the moment he successfully rescued Hyacinth's tribesmen, the other party should have immediately counterattacked, killing Xia Fei and regaining control of the hostages. Only then would the Shepherdians have the leverage to advance and retreat, gaining control of the situation.
However, the Shepherdians did not do so. This chieftain seemed to be more interested in Xia Fei and did not care about the Rockies hostages, willing to sacrifice his entire guard just to find out Xia Fei's trump cards.
Xia Fei was just an outsider, and he did not have any deep grudge with the Shepherdians. Was there a need to place such importance on Xia Fei?
"Crap!" Oro suddenly exclaimed. "I just remembered something!"
"What is it?"
"There are some Shepherdians who are mutated. They can obtain the abilities of other sapient lifeforms by devouring them! For this chieftain to place so much importance on you, he must have his eyes on your ability and wants to eat you up! That's why he didn't hesitate to sacrifice his guards and didn't mobilize his subordinates to surround you. He's afraid of accidentally killing you! "Oro said in a deep voice.
"He wants to eat me but is afraid of killing me? Your logic doesn't make sense, "Xia Fei said with furrowed brows.
"If you want to obtain the abilities of others, you must eat them alive!"
Xia Fei was speechless. Eating other sapient lifeforms alive? There was probably nothing crueler than this in this world!
His heart filled with disgust toward this Shepherdian, Xia Fei flexed his wrist and said, "I'm not a bun. You'll have to grow a mouth of steel before you eat me."
Before he finished speaking, the Shepherdian chieftain raised his wrist and took off the mask on his helmet.
Xia Fei was stunned, and he tightened his grip on the Blood Crystal.
The Shepherd's appearance was extremely ugly. Its hollow eyes made it look like a zombie's, and its teeth were bared like those of a wild beast. Anyone who saw it would be intimidated.
But if compared to this Shepherdian leader, the malevolence of those ordinary Shepherdians was nothing, because this person had no eyes at all!
Blood kept flowing out of his eye sockets. They were empty except for some rotting nerves and blood vessels. He was like a zombie whose eyes had been dug out by fingers. Cruel and violent, no one would want to look at him a second time!
Smacking his lips, the Shepherdian leader stuck out his tongue and licked his lips. There was a silver tongue stud in the center of his black tongue.
"Devouring other sapient lifeforms will result in punishment. This person must've eaten too much to become like this. Look at that pink piece of meat hanging from his crooked teeth. He must've eaten someone not too long ago," Oro said gravely.
Disgusting!
Extremely disgusting!
Even the ugliest zombie in Resident Evil couldn't compare!
"He took off his mask because he's going to use his mouth," Oro added.
Furball whimpered. This ugly and malevolent Shepherdian made him extremely uncomfortable, and he wanted nothing more than to punch a hole through him on the spot!
"Human, report your name," the Shepherdian leader said.
He did not open his mouth, and his voice seemed to come from his abdomen.
"Ah Fei, what about you?" Xia Fei asked nonchalantly.
The ferocious appearance of the Shepherdian chieftain might be able to intimidate others, but there was no way he could scare Xia Fei. He had always been very bold, and forget a Shepherdian, even a yaksha from hell would not be able to scare him.
"Colin." The Shepherdian leader licked his lips once more. "Relax. You won't die in vain. Every person I eat will have a tombstone."
Xia Fei smiled. "So you're saying that you're a kind-hearted devourer?"
Colin covered his face and laughed, his voice chilling.
"Kind-Hearted? What an interesting phrase. The reason why I make tombstones is so that I can step on them, bringing them eternal humiliation. Seeing those people I eat get stepped on even in death is truly a very interesting thing. "
Xia Fei's eyes gleamed coldly. He was certain that this Shepherdian leader Colin was not only a man-eating pervert, but he was also the most detestable kind.
There was nothing much to say to such a person. Xia Fei held the Blood Crystal in his hand and maintained a ready posture.
Xia Fei actually felt very wronged. Colin's original target was only Hyacinth, but he very quickly realized that Xia Fei was even more attractive than Hyacinth.
The holy beast Shatterstar would surely be a delicacy if eaten, though he was very small, not even enough to fill the gaps between Colin's teeth. Furthermore, the Peacock Blue growing on Xia Fei's right arm was also very tempting to Colin. As long as he ate Xia Fei, he might even obtain the abilities of Peacock Blue.
It had to be said that Colin was truly insane to a certain extent. Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Xia Fei, who had Furball, Peacock Blue, Blood Crystal, and Edgeless, would be very difficult to deal with. Even a Great Law Emperor might not be able to withstand the simultaneous attack of so many divine weapons.
However, Colin did not care. He did not even know if Furball could be eaten, or if Peacock Blue could be eaten, or if Xia Fei was poisonous.
A lunatic was a lunatic. At the very least, a lunatic like Xia Fei would not eat random things, but Colin would eat anything and everything. Just looking at his current state was enough to tell that he must have eaten something highly toxic in private, which was why he ended up in such a state.
Though Colin was crazy to the point of not knowing which way was north, this fellow was still scheming. Of course, this so-called scheming was all in preparation to devour Xia Fei.
After the probing of twenty Shepherdian centurions, Colin believed that the time was right to start eating, believing that these were all the cards Xia Fei had up his sleeves.
His teeth were gently grinding as if Colin was preparing to eat Xia Fei.
* Whoosh! *
Xia Fei heard the sound of Colin grinding his teeth and was very annoyed. He recklessly charged out! Furball was right behind him!
Colin pushed his hands forward, and blue electricity rapidly condensed, as if a giant blue dragon had descended from the sky, letting out a crackling sound of electromagnetic explosions.
The corner of Colin's lips curled into a sinister grin. The blue electricity was none other than Colin's Law, the Law of Lightning!
The voltage of several hundred million volts made it impossible for anyone to get close, and any ordinary person would be turned to dust the moment they touched it!
This was why Colin was so fearless when facing Xia Fei. Xia Fei's attacks first required him to get close, and the same was true for Furball. The hundreds of millions of volts that Colin had unleashed was not only an attack, but it was also the best defense!
Moreover, as a Great Law Emperor, Colin's control over electricity had already reached a level where he could do as he pleased. He had no need to worry about Xia Fei being killed by the high voltage, preventing him from eating him. The moment Xia Fei got close, he would first be half-dead from the electricity, and all Colin needed to do was sit back and enjoy the fruits of his labor.
Colin's control over high voltage electricity was a treasure that he had used time and time again over the years. Who knew how many people had been injured by his Law of Lightning before he feasted on them?
As long as he could control it well, high voltage electricity could damage the central nervous system and impede the ability of the muscles. Colin planned to use a conservative approach, putting some distance between them and using electricity to stimulate Xia Fei bit by bit, attacking his nerves and causing his reactions to become slower and slower, numbing his muscles so that Xia Fei would not be able to move at high speeds, weakening him bit by bit until he was finally able to capture Xia Fei alive!
This was a good idea, and the Law of Lightning could indeed achieve this, but he had neglected one point: Xia Fei had a habit of hiding his trump cards. What he saw was far from everything Xia Fei had!
"Ode of Hundred Spirits!"
Xia Fei did not flinch in the face of this blue electric dragon, continuing to accelerate!
* Bang! *
The dark metal weapon, the Ode of Hundred Spirits, transformed into a hundred triangular hidden weapons, which lined up in an array and went straight for that blue electric light.
The amazing thing about dark metal was not just that it could create electromagnetic explosions but that it could also absorb them! Control!
As the saying went, everything had its nemesis, and dark metal was the ultimate weapon that countered lightning!
No matter how strong the electric current or magnetic field was, it would all lose its effect in front of dark metal!
"Dark metal mystical weapon!" Colin exclaimed. Xia Fei had already revealed quite a number of treasures, but he did not expect that was far from everything Xia Fei had. His spatial ring actually had a set of rare dark metal weapons hidden within!
It was no longer possible for Colin to retract his law power at this point. He could clearly feel that the electric current was weakening, and what was even more frightening was that it was slowly slipping out of his control!
Seeing that the blue electric dragon was getting weaker and weaker, Colin was burning with anxiety, backing up again and again. Xia Fei's sudden throw of the dark metal mystical weapon caught him off guard.
That was when something even more shocking happened!
Though the electric current was weakening, it was still not something an average person could approach, yet Xia Fei had used some sort of technique to pass through the wall of electric current!
The powerful electric current had burned Xia Fei's cloak, revealing the incredibly intricate war armor he was wearing. The fig-shaped insignia was on his shoulder, so dazzling and shocking!
"The war armor of the Fig Corporation!"
Colin was dumbfounded once more. It was no wonder that Xia Fei was not afraid of electric current; he was wearing a top-notch product produced by the number one company in the Law Realm!
If he had unleashed his Law of Electricity at full force, he could have stopped Xia Fei from passing through the electric wall, but the dark metal mystical weapon, the Ode of Hundred Spirits, had weakened his electric current, making it impossible for him to control it, which gave Xia Fei the opportunity!
In the blink of an eye, before Colin could react, Xia Fei was already in front of him!
* Splat! *
Furball was like a bullet, piercing right through Colin's heart!
Right after, Xia Fei's left hand, Blood Crystal, landed squarely on Colin's chin!
* Whoosh ~ *
Blood essence was rapidly drained, and he felt as if he had aged a lot in an instant. This was the most terrifying feeling!
* Kaboom! *
A ball of lightning appeared in Colin's hand, and it immediately exploded, engulfing both Xia Fei and Colin! Its might was so great that it was shocking!
In order to not have his blood essence sucked dry by the Blood Crystal, Colin had even resorted to self-mutilation!
The explosion lasted for several seconds! The earth shook!
When he looked again, he saw Xia Fei stomping on a few of Colin's fallen teeth, which the Blood Crystal had gouged out of his mouth.
