Chapter 1171: Shui Shengsheng
Xia Fei’s speed was the speed of light!
The moment he realized that the other person was controlling another Immemorial Mystical Armament, he shot forward at maximum horsepower!
*Rumble!*
Peacock Blue grew crazily while Xia Fei pulled out the White Dragon’s Screech, his eyes erupting with light and his body radiating a fearsome and murderous energy!
The person on the other side clearly had not expected Xia Fei to have such an intense reaction. It must be understood that there was an entire kilometer between the two, but it appeared that Xia Fei planned to keep chasing until one of them was dead!
Shui Shengsheng frowned. He had been quite confused as to why the nature-type Immemorial Mystical Armament, which he had inadvertently obtained, had led him up to this strange ship. When he saw Xia Fei approaching from a distance, he had planned to ask about what was going on, but Xia Fei did not even give him the chance, shooting toward him like a cannonball.
It was clear that Xia Fei had a sense of vigilance ordinary people simply could not understand. When he saw a possible enemy, he would immediately prepare for the worst scenario. He was like a lone wolf, not permitting any enemy to threaten him. Any danger had to be nipped while it was still a bud.
*Rumble!*
Before Shui Shengsheng even had time to think, the battle had begun.
Xia Fei jumped off the ground and accelerated in a curved line, instantly breaking ten million meters per second and shooting over like a beam of light.
After a moment of shock, Shui Shengsheng responded, but rather than defending, he chose to attack!
It must be understood that Xia Fei was of the speed type, and there was probably no other kind of warrior in the universe who could match the vicious attacks of the speed type. Countering offense with offense was normally a decent tactic, but in front of any speed type, it was a disastrous choice! It was like using one’s disadvantage to compete with Xia Fei’s advantage!
*Whoosh!*
Shui Shengsheng’s right arm opened up, and a giant ice spike one kilometer long emerged from his back and thrust at Peacock Blue like a spear!
*Boom!*
*Shatter!*
The ice spike shattered while Peacock Blue was broken into bits!
In this clash of the plant-type and water-type mystical armaments, they seemed to be evenly matched, breaking each other and unable to withstand the full strength of their counterpart.
At this moment, Shui Shengsheng’s ice spike went through an unexpected transformation. The fallen fragments of ice were not completely destroyed, instead rushing forward like a bunch of frightening spiders!
Transformation was the terrifying aspect of water!
It was all-present and all-capable! Water could seep into even the smallest of cracks!
In a flash, Peacock Blue was engulfed in ice. Those fragments of ice had frozen rock-solid the several-kilometer-long Peacock Blue! It was like a tree in the middle of winter, its jade green body lost completely in the ice and snow.
Aquamarine had been completely right. Peacock Blue represented healing, and while this was a good ability, in battle, any other Immemorial Mystical Armament was stronger than the plant type!
The clash between the two mystical armaments was not over yet, but at this moment, their masters entered close-quarters combat.
*Zing~*
The White Dragon’s Screech let out a howl and stabbed at Shui Shengsheng’s throat!
Every person had a weak point. Xia Fei’s Ocular Cognition was not the same as it was in the past when it could only strengthen his vision and allow him to see far; at present, it could see through the surface and into the essence of anyone or anything!
Xia Fei could clearly see where Shui Shengsheng was the weakest, so all of the places he attacked were the most lethal!
Shui Shengsheng’s pale face froze at once!
*Bang!*
Xia Fei was moving so quickly that the sword was through Shui Shengsheng’s neck before he could even react!
The ghostly white edge flashed gleamed with a lethal light!
Xia Fei was rather surprised by how this battle had gone. He did not know Shui Shengsheng, but he was able to slay a foe who possessed an Immemorial Mystical Armament with a single strike? This was someone selected by one of the five Immemorial Mystical Armaments, and these mystical armaments did not tend to pick their masters recklessly.
Back then, when Xia Fei subdued Peacock Blue, although there had been no battle, Peacock Blue had still looked through his past life, and even Xia Fei and his hardy resolve had almost broken under those endless rounds of mental assault. From this, one could see that Immemorial Mystical Armaments did not follow just anyone! They had their own requirements!
A person selected by an Immemorial Mystical Armament would not die so easily!
Xia Fei was Xia Fei, so when his sword stabbed through the throat of his enemy, he did not celebrate. Instead, he began a complicated analysis.
After a split-second of thought, Xia Fei did something completely unexpected: he retreated!
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei pulled out the White Dragon’s Screech and jumped backward, retreating without hesitation!
At this moment, Shui Shengsheng’s body went through an incredible transformation. His body of flesh became a current water, a frenzied whirlpool that sucked in everything within a ten-meter radius of him!
Xia Fei’s eyes flew open in shock. This was a lifeform turning into matter! He had never seen anyone who could turn themselves into stone, much less a lethal current of water. He could not even get close to this thing!
Xia Fei could understand how lifeforms had souls and dark energy, but he could not wrap his head around the idea of flesh turning into water!
This foe was clearly not an easy one!
Fortunately, Xia Fei’s mind worked differently from others, and he had seized that crucial second to escape from the trap unscathed. Falling into that water definitely would not have ended well. He could tell without even thinking that the water was the world of his foe.
It was a very weird situation. If a pool of stagnant black water appeared in front of Xia Fei, Xia Fei would believe it to have been created by someone who had mastered the Law of Matter. This would make things much simpler, but the situation had happened the exact opposite way. A person had turned into a pool of water.
As the whirlpool had failed to catch Xia Fei, it came to a stop, and a person was pushed out of the center: Shui Shengsheng.
Looking curiously at Xia Fei, Shui Shengsheng asked, “You’re quite interesting. Even like that, you could still run away?”
Xia Fei did not answer, instead asking back, “You used a substitute?”
Shui Shengsheng smiled and shook his head. “You won’t answer my question, so I naturally won’t answer yours. How strange. Just a few seconds ago, I felt this strong urge to kill you; I presume that you felt the same.”
Xia Fei said nothing, but this had really been the case. Peacock Blue could no longer be held back, for it had gone completely insane, and Shui Shengsheng was channeling the feeling of his weapon.
When two mystical armaments meet, one must die!
…
In the distance, several people had arrived. They were none other than the Night siblings and several elite bodyguards from the clan. The clash between Xia Fei and Shui Shengsheng had caused quite a stir, alarming these siblings.
“Shui Shengsheng!”
“Xia Fei!”
Zesyr Night and Anzu Night blurted out in unison, each one saying a name. They then saw the scene that had just transpired, Shui Shengsheng setting up an excellent trap and Xia Fei recognizing it and executing a beautiful dodge.
“Why are they fighting? No, Xia Fei might lose!” Zesyr Night said worriedly.
Anzu Night had a very weird look on his face. He knew what sort of person his sister was, spoiled rotten from childhood. He had never seen her show concern for someone before.
“No,” Anzu Night denied, “I won’t let you get close. That’s because Shui Shengsheng is part of the Serene Jadewater Clan! It’s too dangerous!”
“I know, but Xia Fei doesn’t know how formidable Shui Shengsheng is!” Zesyr frantically said.
Anzu said sternly, “Don’t forget what grandfather told us. If you don’t listen to me…”
Anzu stopped midway. He appeared to have something that Zesyr really feared, for she did not run over. However, the concern on her face grew more and more serious.
At this moment, a third person arrived. Unlike the Night siblings, he came alone, without any bodyguards, unafraid and fearless. He was also constantly scratching at his head as if he had lice.
“Qiu Yang, how is it you?!” Anzu Night shouted upon seeing the man. He had never gotten along with him.
“It’s not as if this was your house, so why couldn’t I come?” Qiu Yang asked casually.
Anzu Night was rendered speechless. He had a reason for hating the other: Qiu Yang had more charisma, and he was never able to out-talk him.
“Little Shui is pretty good, even more powerful than before, particularly when it comes to his Shui Clan’s Soulmerge Art. He’s reached an unfathomable level with it, allowing him to react and merge into the water despite his opponent’s speed.
“Even more interesting is that thing on Shui Shengsheng’s right arm. It’s some sort of intelligent ice! As for his opponent, he has a plant? Interesting! Very interesting! Alas, that’s Shui Shengsheng, or else I’d really try to pick a fight with that weirdo with a plant growing from his arm.”
Zesyr Night became unhappy, her face turning dark as she rebuked, “Qiu Yang, he has a name, and that’s Xia Fei! He’s not some weirdo! Plus, he isn’t weird at all!”
Qiu Yang was startled, and then he chuckled. “He’s called Xia Fei? You know him?”
Zesyr Night nodded.
“It’s fine. No matter what he’s called, he’ll still die, for his opponent is Shui Shengsheng,” Qiu Yang said softly.
Zesyr naturally grew even angrier, but at this moment, Anzu surprisingly agreed with Qiu Yang. “Yes, Shui Shengsheng is too strong. Xia Fei will definitely die.”
At this moment, a bald man appeared, his head so shiny and bereft of hair it looked like a mirror.
“You’re both right! That guy must die!” the bald man shouted, not caring about what the others thought.
The Night siblings and Qiu Yang both frowned. This guy was Tian Jing, a very troublesome monster.
Shui Shengsheng, Qiu Yang, Anzu Night, and Tian Jing; four of the Six Celestial Treasures had been assembled!
…
Xia Fei knew that people had gathered behind him, but he was in no mood to worry about them. He was faced with a bizarre enemy that required 100% of his undivided attention.
Fiend energy!
Powerful fiend energy exploded outward!
The Skywings would always use this method to boost their combat power in battle, and Xia Fei was no exception.
After staring at Shui Shengsheng for a whole minute, Xia Fei suddenly put away the White Dragon’s Screech!
This was Xia Fei’s most powerful weapon now that he had lost the fiendish blade Nirvana. Had he gone crazy?!
