The Law Emperor's Heaven Barrier was not that easy to break through. After all, it was a major barrier, requiring not only energy and skill, but also a bit of luck.
Xia Fei had gone to great lengths to come across this fragment of the ark, and it was like he had found a cornucopia. How could he be willing to leave so easily? Even if he was unable to break through for the time being, staying here to feed Furball was good enough.
There was no doubt that Furball had struck gold this time!
In a single day, he had swallowed more energy than he had in the past, and his fur had turned crystalline and soft. He had a lazy and proud look on his face, his two beady eyes gleaming.
As he ate the energy that Xia Fei had given him, Furball did not forget to repay his master, using his body to rub against Xia Fei and his pink tongue to lick Xia Fei's palm.
This was Furball's way of flattering him. Though Xia Fei was already very used to Furball's somewhat prickly flattery, he could not help but like it even more. This fellow had always been so sly and obedient. It was no wonder that Avril would get so close to Furball the moment she saw him, hugging him in her arms and playing with him.
However, Avril would always make Furball eat snacks, which made him both like and feel helpless toward his mistress.
As Xia Fei's other great assistant, Peacock Blue remained arrogant and unmoved.
The wood element was the most tenacious of all Immemorial Mystical Armaments, and it was also extremely independent. Furball's actions were not something that Peacock Blue could do. He would always very quietly wait for Xia Fei's orders before swiftly completing his mission.
Furball was very naughty. He and Peacock Blue had a competitive relationship, both wanting to become Xia Fei's number one assistant. As Furball happily ate the energy that Xia Fei had given him, he did not forget to glance at Peacock Blue with a smug look.
Alas, Peacock Blue was as stubborn and arrogant as a block of wood. No matter how loudly Furball ate it, or how much he enjoyed it, Peacock Blue remained unmoved.
Furball was very disappointed that Peacock Blue was ignoring him. He turned his head and coldly harrumphed, continuing to flatter Xia Fei.
The old demon lord could not help but burst into laughter. "Furball and Peacock Blue are very much like two extremes of your personality. Furball is as cunning and sinister as you, while Peacock Blue's pride and tenacity are also your traits. One is a holy beast, while the other is an Immemorial Mystical Armament. They've both learned their bad habits from you."
Xia Fei was speechless. He pursed his lips and said, "I don't think my personality is that extreme. As for Furball and Peacock Blue being influenced by me, that's even less of a problem. After all, this world is too dark. If I were a normal person, I wouldn't have survived until today."
Oro thought about it and felt that Xia Fei's words made sense, so he did not say anything more.
In the early stages of cultivation, Xia Fei needed to first complete the Law Totem layout, but once he reached the final stage, Xia Fei would not be able to speak. After all, breaking through required full concentration, and he could not afford to be the slightest bit careless.
All of a sudden, Xia Fei retracted his stance and knitted his eyebrows, muttering, "Something's not right. It seems like something is approaching!"
…
In the darkness, Warlock Saint Wuyou, Law Overlord Huai You, and Qu You were anxiously waiting around the Bening brothers. At this time, the Blood Weeping Golden Mantis had already made its move, while the Bening brothers were far away controlling the Blood Mantis.
"That Skywing brat is very clever. Will the Blood Weeping Golden Mantis be able to sneak in and kill them?" Qu You asked worriedly.
Everyone knew that the fragment of the ark was not stable. If the assassination failed and the core planet exploded, all of Quiet Spring would suffer. Qu You and Huai You, who were not familiar with the Bening family, were very concerned.
Warlock Saint Wuyou smiled and confidently said, "Though the Blood Mantis is made from the corpses of intelligent lifeforms, it has long since lost its aura. Just like the night, no one will be able to detect it.
"The reason why I invited the Bening family to Quiet Spring from so far away is precisely because of their stealthy assassination techniques. Besides, do you know what kind of lifeform this Blood Weeping Golden Mantis is made from?"
Huai You thought about it and said, "Legend has it that the Blood Weeping Golden Mantis is one of the three great Blood Mantis of the Bening family, and it has never failed since ancient times. It's very impressive! When I saw that puppet just now, my entire back was drenched in sweat. Those blood-red eyes were like those of a demon. "
Qu You hurriedly said, "That's right. I was also shocked. How could there be such a strange puppet in this world? Which race's Great Returning Mage Emperor is he? He was made into a Blood Mantis after his death? "
Wuyou seemed very pleased with himself. He deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Nighthawk!"
"Nighthawk!"
"The Blood Weeping Golden Mantis was actually made from the body of a Nighthawk race's Great Returning Mage Emperor?!"
"No wonder those blood-red eyes were so frightening. So it's the legendary Nighthawk!"
"Didn't the Nighthawk race perish a long time ago?"
Huai You and Wuyou were very excited and kept asking questions.
The Nighthawk was an intelligent race that had long disappeared from the Demon Race. This name had once brought countless shocks to the world!
Each of the two supreme races had a few great families that served as their killing blades. Just like how the Skywing family was the Demon Sealing Blade of the God Race, the Nighthawk family had once represented the supreme combat power of the Demon Race during their heyday. They were also blades, the Ghost Night Blade!
"The Ghost Night Blade versus the Demon Sealing Blade?! There's going to be a good show to watch! " Huai You fiercely waved his fist and said excitedly, "It's a pity that we can't see the pinnacle battle between the two great demon blades. What a pity."
Qu You bit his lip, as if he was still a little worried. He said, "The Nighthawks are the pride of our Demon Race. They were once incomparably sharp. Everyone knows this, but I heard that after being made into a Blood Mantis, their level will drop. This means that the Blood Weeping Golden Mantis' original body had the cultivation of a Great Returning Mage Emperor when it was alive, but it doesn't now. Can it fight against that young Great Returning Mage Emperor of the Skywing race?"
Huai You was startled. He also said, "That's right. I've also heard rumors that the Blood Mantis made from corpses isn't perfect."
Wuyou seemed to be a little angry. He said impatiently, "The Skywing race is known as the Demon Sealing Blade, also known as the Mad Demons. They rely on group attacks to win. They come and go in the open, killing whoever they see.
"And the Nighthawk race are all experts in one-on-one combat. The reason they're called the Ghost Night Blade is because their assassination skills are close to perfect. Whenever night falls, it's the time the Ghost Night Blade moves! Countless God Race Champions have died to the silent assassinations of the Ghost Night Blade.
"Back then, the God Race sent out their Eight God Blades to ambush the Nighthawks, killing the Ghost Night Blades even at the cost of both sides suffering. This was because they feared the power of the Nighthawk race."
Huai You and Qu You were both stunned, hurriedly asking, "What?! So the Nighthawk race was jointly destroyed by the Eight God Blades?! "
"For a Ghost Night Blade, the God Race actually sent out all eight blades under their command?!"
In the Law Realm, many clans had nicknames, and any clans that could use a blade as a nickname were all exceptionally sharp. The most famous clans of the God Race were the Eight Great Clans, and they were known as the Eight Godly Blades, also known as the Eight Divine Blades.
For example, the Demon Sealing Blade, Heavenly Wings! The Splendid Hidden Blade, Huang Qin! The White Waves Azure Blade, Yang Xing! All of them were extremely unparalleled existences!
The Demon Race similarly had their own blades for killing, such as the Dugu Blade, Li Shuang! The Hundred Venom Blade, Lian Zhan! Ghost Night Blade, Nighthawk! His fame was illustrious!
The God Race had the Eight God Blades, while the Demon Race had the Nine Demon Blades!
However, in the last Great War of Gods and Demons, the Eight God Blades of the God Race had ambushed the Nighthawks and wiped out the Ghost Night Blade of the Demon Race. The two sides had once again reached an equilibrium, becoming the Eight Demon Blades against the Eight God Blades.
It was as if there was always a mysterious force in the Law Realm that caused the two sides to be evenly matched. The God Race was vexed at losing the Law of Time, while the Demon Race lost the Law of Life. Even the number of clans that the two sides used to kill was the same.
For many, many years, the two supreme races had fought countless battles, but they had never been able to determine who was superior. This had something to do with the fact that the two sides were too close in strength.
Now, the assassination experts, the Bening Clan, had taken out a Blood Puppet, and it was actually made by a Great Law Overlord of the long-extinct Nighthawk clan. How could Huai You and Qu You not be shocked?
The tiny Bening Clan was neither a Demon Blade nor a major clan in the Law Realm, but they possessed a Blood Puppet made by a powerhouse of the Nighthawk clan, which left Huai You and Qu You somewhat puzzled.
Wu You patted Huai You and Qu You on the shoulder. Now that Quiet Spring only had these two remaining Law Overlords, no matter how arrogant Wu You was, he had no choice but to pretend to be concerned for them, lest he lose his composure.
"Don't worry. Since I've brought the Bening Clan here, I naturally have absolute confidence in them." Wu You smiled. "Let me tell you another secret. Don't think that the Bening Clan is in decline, with less than a hundred people left in their clan, but they were once glorious, even ruling over the entire Dark Hou Clan.
"And this Weeping Blood Golden Mantis was made during the Bening Clan's golden age." Wu You's eyes darted around, and he lowered his voice to an extremely low whisper, whispering into Huai You and Qu You's ears, "The Weeping Blood Golden Mantis uses a living person, not a corpse!"
'Ah!'
Huai You and Qu You were so shocked that their jaws nearly dropped!
The Weeping Blood Golden Mantis used a living body! To make a living Great Law Overlord of the Nighthawk clan into a puppet! How was that possible?!
After all, the Nighthawk clan was the Demon Race's Ghostnight Blade! A powerful blade that could kill in the night!
By using the living body of a Great Law Overlord as a puppet, not only would the Weeping Blood Golden Mantis not be weakened because it was a puppet, it would actually be strengthened!
…
Quiet Spring, the core planet.
"Breath Control!"
Xia Fei sensed that something was wrong and instantly entered Breath Control, perking up his ears and using his keen perception to observe his surroundings.
"What's going on?!" Oro anxiously asked.
"It seems like something's approaching," Xia Fei whispered with a frown.
"No way! The fragment of the ark is so unstable, yet these fellows still dare to take the risk of attacking?! Aren't they afraid of triggering an explosion that will destroy all of Quiet Spring?! "Oro said in disbelief.
Logically speaking, Wu You and the others should be using siege tactics. In any case, Xia Fei could not stay here forever. The moment he left the core planet, he would inevitably fall into Wu You's trap, so there was no need to take the risk and attack.
"It's an expert! They're moving silently, not even carrying the slightest aura of life. They've completely fused with these plants! "Xia Fei exclaimed.
After all, Xia Fei had first learned Assassin! If not for a series of coincidences that had given Xia Fei so many opportunities, he might still be working as an assassin in the Alliance, a very promising career.
"I can't just sit here and wait for death!" After Xia Fei confirmed that an expert assassin had infiltrated the core planet, he made up his mind.
Xia Fei left the core area where the fragments of the ark were like a ghost, like an experienced hunter quietly searching for his prey, not making a single sound.
However, what Xia Fei did not know was that the Weeping Blood Golden Mantis that had infiltrated the core planet was not just an assassin. It also had another nickname: Phantom Night Blade!
Assassin versus Shadow Killer!
Phantom Night Blade versus Demon Sealing Blade!
