Oppression!
Unparalleled pressure!
Xia Fei felt like his entire being was about to explode! The flames of rage in his chest had nowhere to vent, so they continued to burn fiercely!
No one could have imagined that the mighty Celestial Wings would be suppressed by the Ancient God Church and the Yue Clan! Xia City was in a state of panic, and rumors about the Celestial Wings were everywhere in the White Horse Constellation.
There were even rumors that the Celestial Wings had been abandoned by the God Race and would surely be exterminated this time!
Defense!
Endless defense!
They had to be on guard against enemy sneak attacks at all times!
It was not just Xia Fei. The forty Law Emperors of the Celestial Wings were all on the verge of going crazy!
Was defense something that the Celestial Wings should be doing? Given Celestial Wings' character, they would rather die standing than live kneeling! Anyone who dared to stab Celestial Wings would be stabbed back a hundred times! Ten thousand times!
Unfortunately, the Patriarch Xia Buyun and Big Boss Xia Xia completely disregarded the frenzied battle intent of the pack of wolves from the Heavenly Wing Family. They forcefully kept the large group of people in Xia City, stifling these monsters to the point that their faces turned ashen.
In the face of this immense pressure brought about by holding back, Xia Fei chose to madly cultivate, hoping to use his sweat to vent his anger. Otherwise, Xia Fei had no idea what he would do.
This was a very strange state. While anger made Xia Fei feel stifled, it also allowed his cultivation speed to skyrocket!
Over the last two days, Xia Fei had clearly sensed that his Law of Speed and Law of Primal Chaos were on the verge of a breakthrough. Last night, Xia Fei had even reached 280,000 km/s! Alas, he was still a thin membrane away from breaking through, and he was unable to do so. This made Xia Fei's already stifled mood even worse!
Xia Zonghai would return to the Wind Garden every day for a few hours, teaching Xia Fei the Law of Speed and bringing him the latest news from Xia City and the clan.
On the fifth day of the Celestial Wings' defensive battle, Xia Zonghai arrived on time.
"Haaa!" The moment he stepped into the cultivation room, Xia Zonghai let out a long sigh. The entire Celestial Wings had not slept for five days and five nights, their nerves highly strung, ready to defend against enemy sneak attacks at any moment.
Xia Fei noticed that Xia Zonghai's face had darkened, and he had lost a lot of weight. The number of wrinkles on his face was slowly approaching his actual age, and that worried look on his face would make anyone's heart ache.
Xia Fei walked over to Xia Zonghai's side with a sullen look on his face. Xia Zonghai glanced at Xia Fei before waving his hand and saying, "Cultivate on your own. I really don't have the mood to guide you today. Your aptitude is very high, and you've already grasped the basic essentials. As long as you keep cultivating, it's only a matter of time before you break through."
Xia Fei understood Xia Zonghai's feelings very well. Was he not so depressed that he was about to go crazy?
"How are things over at Xia City?" Xia Fei asked as he lit a cigarette.
"Sigh!" Xia Zonghai sighed again. He said in a deep voice, "Terrible. Just yesterday alone, Xia City suffered forty-three sneak attacks. On average, one attack every half an hour, regardless of day or night."
"Everyone in the clan who can fight has returned. Our Skywings are free, and we're usually scattered across the universe. To tell the truth, this is the first time in my life that I've seen so many family members, and I often see old faces that I haven't seen in many years."
With a bitter smile, Xia Zonghai paused for a moment before saying, "Unfortunately, what's the point of having everyone back? Aren't we still under pressure from being harassed by others? Those fellows are all long-range attackers, and it's impossible to defend against them! If you go to Xia City and take a look, you'll know that it's already in ruins.
"Most of our people have been hiding in the Sanctuary for five days and five nights without seeing the sun, while us warriors haven't slept for 120 hours. Due to the suffocation and anxiety, many of our emotions are starting to become abnormal."
"I don't get it! Just what is the patriarch waiting for? If it were up to me, no matter how strong the other side is, we'll just fight it out first! How is this the style of our Skywings Clan? "
Xia Zonghai was complaining, and Xia Fei quietly listened. He knew very well that Xia Zonghai needed to vent a little at this time.
The arduous defensive battle had already lasted for five days and five nights, and it was a torment where one's nerves were constantly on edge! This was a massive challenge for everyone!
"Perhaps the patriarch has his own plans," Xia Fei comforted Xia Zonghai.
"I hope so." Xia Zonghai spread his hands and helplessly said, "Do you know that the enemy might have a lineup of one hundred Law Emperors?"
Xia Fei was stunned, sternly asking, "One hundred Law Emperors?! How could there be so many?! After the last battle, the remaining Law Emperors of the Yue Clan numbered less than forty, while the Ancient God Cult had thirty-four Law Emperors. Did the other twenty-some Law Emperors just fall from the sky?! Could there be a third faction besides the Ancient God Cult and Yue Clan?! "
If the situation was as Xia Zonghai said, then it would be terrible. The Skywings had a total of forty Law Emperors and three Law Emperors, and the one with the highest cultivation, Great Law Emperor Xia Fifth, had been strictly ordered by the God Race not to take a single step out of the Wind Garden!
If the other side had gathered one hundred Law Emperors, just how many Law Emperors would there be?!
Just the ones he already knew were the Yue Clan's Great Law Emperors Jincheng, Xiang Wucheng, and the Ancient God Cult's Great Law Emperors Xu Kong, Xu Jin, and Xu Xiang. That was a total of five Law Emperors!
The opponent's strength was already more than twice that of the Skywings!
The Skywings were still defending, so even if they did launch a counterattack, it would definitely be a difficult one! It was far more difficult than the previous battle between the Skywings and Yue Clan!
Xia Zonghai shook his head. "My brothers and I guessed that if the other side didn't have that many, there's no way they'd launch a twenty-four-hour nonstop attack on us."
The two of them fell silent. The situation was not looking good, and it was like a boulder weighing down on their hearts.
Even more unfathomable was the attitude of the family patriarch, Xia Buyun. If they kept on defending, the situation would only worsen. Only by fighting to the death would they have a chance at victory. He should be very clear on this point.
But why did Xia Buyun still want to keep the Skywing Wolves in Xia City?
…
Xia Zonghai left after saying a few more words. Xia Fei clenched his fists tightly as he watched the man's aging back.
The old demon lord, who had been silent all this while, suddenly said, "Perhaps the situation isn't as bad as you think. Reality has proven that you Skywings aren't just a bunch of fellows who only know how to fight to the death. There are many times when you're even scheming and crafty. Xia Buyun already proved this point last time.
"I think that the reason why he's keeping the Skywing Wolves in Xia City is because he's preparing an even more decisive counterattack!"
Xia Fei's eyes flashed. What the old demon lord said was not without reason. The Skywing warriors had been very oppressed these past few days. This kind of oppression could make them depressed, but it could also make them explode!
Putting aside others, if Xia Fei were to be unleashed right now, he would definitely become a demonic beast that would kill anyone he saw! This was because he had long been oppressed to the point of exploding! He urgently needed to vent the anger in his chest!
'Could Xia Buyun be doing this on purpose? Or is it an instruction from the old ancestor? 'Xia Fei quietly thought to himself.
"Forget it. No matter what, I have to cultivate and become stronger!" Xia Fei's eyes shone brightly as he muttered to himself.
…
On the sixth day, the harassment battle was still ongoing, and the oppressive feeling was nearly unbearable!
Xia Fei was sweating profusely in the training room, practically cultivating without a moment's pause!
* Kaboom! *
Dust flew! All Things Inverted!
Xia Fei had not expected that the first law to break through would not be the Law of Speed but the Law of Primal Chaos!
The fourth level of the Law of Primal Chaos was broken!
A black fog rose around Xia Fei, and when the black fog dissipated, Xia Fei opened his eyes, which shone with excitement!
Aside from the six major laws, the other laws were divided into nine levels. Level 4 and below were primary, while level 7 and below were intermediate. Though the Law of Primal Chaos had only risen by one level, it was actually a massive increase in Xia Fei from primary to intermediate!
Now that Xia Fei had reached the intermediate level of the Law of Primal Chaos, he was completely incomparable to the past!
Furball stared at Xia Fei in shock. As a Holy Beast with sensitive senses, he could clearly sense the extent of Xia Fei's increase. The Law of Primal Chaos was an unparalleled superpower, and every increase in rank was an incredible feat, not to mention the massive increase from Primary rank to Intermediate rank!
Furball was very crafty. The moment he discovered that Xia Fei was stronger than before, the first thing he did was come over to express his goodwill, using his pink tongue to lick the back of Xia Fei's hand. He knew that Xia Fei must be in a good mood right now. Two days ago, when Xia Fei was sullen all day, Furball would have long since avoided him.
Stroking Furball's head a few times, Xia Fei tossed a level 5 Origin Crystal to him. Furball lay in Xia Fei's arms and happily ate it, looking charmingly naive.
"I've finally broken through to level 4! This feels really good, "Xia Fei muttered to himself, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
However, his expression soon turned grim. Joy was always short-lived. The crisis of the Skywing Clan was intensifying, and the entire clan was in a quagmire, unable to extricate themselves. Xia Fei was not in the mood to think too much about it.
At this time, Xia Fei saw Lord Five open the door to the cultivation chamber and stride in.
This was very strange. Normally, Lord Five would never rashly disturb Xia Fei's cultivation, but this time, he did not even announce his arrival before walking right in.
Moreover, his face was much better looking than yesterday. He was acting all mysterious, which made Xia Fei's heart tighten.
"The patriarch requests that you immediately make a trip to Xia City," Lord Five sternly said.
Xia Fei was startled, anxiously asking, "Go to Xia City?! Rendezvous with everyone?! Could it be that they're planning a counterattack?! "
Lord Five shook his head and mysteriously said, "I'm not sure. In any case, you'll find out once you get there."
Xia Fei stood up with a whoosh and rushed out of the cultivation chamber as fast as he could. Activating a spatial gate, he arrived at Xia City in the blink of an eye!
As far as the eye could see, Xia City was in ruins. The enemy had wrecked it into a terrible state, and smoke was rising everywhere. Where was the prosperity of the past?
Xia Fei's eyes turned cold, and he clenched his fists as he swiftly made his way to the center of the city. He saw that the forty Law Emperors and two Law Emperors were already waiting there. Seeing Xia Fei arrive, everyone nodded slightly, but no one said a word.
The atmosphere was very strange. Xia Fei could clearly sense that the surroundings were filled with demonic energy!
