Chapter 735: Xia Tian takes off his glasses!
Xia Tian took two steps back and reached up his right hand to adjust his glasses. He wore a nervous expression, his eyebrows knitted.
He simply could not make sense just what sort of wondrous organism was in front of him. Was he still Ulcen Ward or a monster?!
His hair was unkempt, flying in the wind, and his two eyes appeared to be pale white, even as blood flowed out from his eye sockets. His skin was blackened, seemingly having been burned badly in hellfire. Veins were visible all over his face, hand, and body, while vulture-like talons grew from his fingernails!
There was no longer a trace of humanity on Ulcen Ward’s body. He was now more like a howling wild beast—a hideous monster that had broken out of his cage!
Anyone would feel a chill run down their spine if they knew how Ulcen Ward looked now. The fight had yet to begin, yet the air inside this huge warship was already teeming with exclamations of shock and fear.
“Good heavens! Is that really Ulcen Ward?”
“Just what sort of affliction did Moonward Clan do to him to actually turn a distinguished Law Overlord into today’s horrendous monstrosity?!”
“The Skywings are in danger this time! Look at the killing intent emanating from Ulcen Ward, it’s swelling at unmatched levels!”
The representatives from the various clans watching the war had plenty to discuss. Even the executor for this conflict, the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall’s Kuzan Feng, and his four Heavenly Kings could not help but frown.
A lot of them were frightened by this, but the warriors of Skywings would never be phased!
Despite Xia Tian looking particularly unassuming and decent with his glasses, the craziness and brutality he had in his bones was not something a little pair of glasses could hide!
From several hundred meters away, he had also exploded in an equally shocking killing intent!
It was as if two raging flames had been lit in the wild, one a mass of black, flames from hell and the other a mass of white, the intense and unyielding fighting spirit of the Skywings!
They were evenly matched! The killing intent from both Ulcen Ward and Xia Tian were actually evenly matched!
Both aura clashed, yet neither was able to overpower the other!
It must be stated, however, that Xia Tian was still just a level 1 Law Overlord and was two levels below Ulcen Ward! This was not mentioning the fact that the latter had become even stronger given that his body had undergone mutation!
It was exactly as the rumors that went around the Law Realm: A Skywing Warrior could never be measured by their level!
…
Inside a room, Golcen Ward watched his brother’s aura clash with Xia Tian’s and his body trembled!
“What a Skywing! Xia Tian is a freak that meditates, yet he’s actually an even match with Ulcen!” Golcen Ward hissed through gritted teeth, wishing that he could be the one doing the fighting!
“He’s still a Skywing, after all.” A vague voice could be heard from behind Golcen. This was none other than Plomir Ward, a powerful individual who hailed from the God Race! To think that he was actually secretly hiding aboard this warship, which went to show that the ancestors of the Moonward Clan were not at ease with this war in White Horse Constellation.
After a pause, Plomir Ward continued speaking in that even tone. “Common sense has never once applied to the Skywings. However, you don’t have to worry too much. Your brother drank that bottle of medicine, so his strength should at least be higher by two levels at this moment and his combat strength should be a match with yours!”
Golcen Ward, who was very surprised to hear this, turned around to clarify. “Two entire levels?!”
Plomir Ward said, pleased with himself, “With how things have unfolded, there’s no harm in telling you more. That medicine is the legendary enhancement drug used by the God Race before battle, the Single Leaf Celestial!”
Golden was shocked. The Single Leaf Celestial was a type of magical herb that could greatly increase a warrior’s level, and its extract was touted as a miracle drug!
There were very few of these magical herbs in production, and not anyone could possess those even among the God Race. Every bottle had to be registered, and only the strongest warriors had the qualifications to redeem them. Furthermore, they needed to report to their superiors after using them, waiting for those above to reassign a bottle of Single Leaf Celestial Extract.
Their clan’s ancestors had actually sent such a priceless drug?! Golcen Ward was secretly quite surprised. However, Ulcen Ward hardly demonstrated even half the air of a celestial and, instead, looked more like a demon from hell. He had no idea if the state his brother was now in was the result of using the Single Leaf Celestial.
Plomir Ward could see the doubt in Golcen’s eyes, so he said, “Your brother’s situation is a little different. He actually believed the lies Xia Fei told him and cultivated his Law of Matter in reverse; he only turned out like this after this additional rapid enhancement from the Single Leaf Celestial.
“I can’t really say just what level Ulcen Ward’s combat strength has gotten to, but I already reported this matter to the higher-ups. According to our clan’s best apothecary, Ulcen Ward most likely can never return to normal. After all, the damage from cultivating law power in reverse is quite severe, and it got exacerbated by the Single Leaf Celestial forcefully opening his meridians, causing him to succumb to complete derangement!
“I’m afraid that you will have to prepare yourself for the worst. Perhaps your brother may never—”
*Bang*
Golcen Ward was enraged! He looked absolutely furious as he spat viciously, “That Xia Fei! He actually dared to deceive my brother! I’ll have to settle this debt properly one day!”
His five fingers clawed at the reinforced glass in his rage, filling the room with a screeching sound that caused everyone’s heart to shudder!
Plomir Ward pursed his lips. Ulcen Ward was Golcen Ward’s brother, not his, which was why he did not care whether Ulcen Ward lived or died. As long as he could win against the Skywings and avoid the terrible disaster, Plomir Ward would have considered this as a satisfying conclusion. He would not have hesitated to kill Ulcen if that was what needed to be done.
Besides, the Moonward Clan did not value emotions and feelings like the Skywings, who would be willing to die all for the sake of their descendants. All for the sake of an insignificant flea like Xia Fei, the Skywings did not even frown as they declared war against the Moonward Clan. That was enough evidence to show just how much they cared for their fellow clansmen in every possible way.
There were many major clans in the Law Realm, and for the sake of survival, many would choose to sacrifice their own people temporarily, all for the sake of gaining some benefits. Only the Skywings were different! The creed of that clan stated that no matter how weak any of their members was, all of them should be able to live whatever the status they held. If anyone should die, it must be the enemy that did!
With pursed lips, Plomir Ward complained to himself, ‘If you want someone to blame, blame your brother for being too stupid. To think he actually believed what Xia Fei said about cultivating laws in reverse! Serves that fool right for dying!’
…
Powerful aura surged!
The already deranged Ulcen Ward clashed against Xia Tian. One was a wild demon from hell, while the other was a sophisticated and enlightened monk. The battle between the two had begun!
Xia Fei and Xia Buyun, watched the battlefield from afar, severe expressions on their faces. Xia Fei could tell that the Ulcen Ward right now was already a world of difference from when they had fought before. It was just that Xia Fei had no idea that he was actually half the reason why Ulcen Ward had become deranged!
Xia Fei had casually lied about cultivating laws in reverse, yet Ulcen Ward had actually believed him! The reverse cultivation of law, plus the efficacy of the Single Leaf Celestial, ultimately caused this irreversible outcome!
*Kaboom*
The fight broke out without any prior warning! The first to make a move was Ulcen Ward. The ground beneath Xia Tian’s feet promptly cracked; it was precisely the power of the Law of Matter that had altered the environment!
*Whoosh*
Xia Tian was an expert of the Skywings, so how could he just passively take the attack? His figure disappeared instantaneously, and Ulcen Ward found himself covered in a glare of sword flashes in the blink of an eye!
Speed! Superspeed!
A casual move of Xia Tian’s arm and thousands of attacks were executed!
His actions were simply too fast! It was a blurry mess of motions, which was practically impossible to describe!
The only thing visible were two blurs of dark figure fighting, charging all over the place! A tornado-like sandstorm was whipped up there in the wild, with the two men right in the center of it! The battlefield echoed with a thunderous frenzy of fighting!
It sounded brutal and chaotic, stirring the hearts of everyone present!
“What speed! He’s a Skywing, alright!”
“Wait! There’s something strange about this! Ulcen Ward isn’t a Skywing, so how can his neural response time be fast enough to keep up with Xia Tian’s tempo?”
“You’re right! Ulcen Ward really could keep up with a Skywing! Could he have leveled up again?!”
Everyone was surprised, for Ulcen Ward was presently demonstrating a superior response capability!
The Skywings grasped the secret of speed. Not only were they fast in their actions, their neural response was even faster!
This kind of relentless attack, which would leave people breathless, reached such a crazy tempo that it had gotten its own name: Skywing Rhythm! Death’s Melody!
Unless it was a warrior, whose level was many times higher, there would hardly be anyone who could escape from the Skywing Rhythm’s flow. As more time passed, an opponent would find themselves being gradually tormented alive and suffocated to death!
Ulcen Ward, however, was keeping up with the Skywing Rhythm!
Not just the VIPs, even some of the Skywing Law Emperors, who were watching this fight, were floored by this!
However, what would make them even more surprised had yet to come!
“Roar!”
After a series of bellows, it was actually Ulcen Ward who was mounting an unexpected counterattack!
*Kaboom*
*Boom*
Ulcen Ward had unleashed his full strength, using both the Law of Matter and the Law of Space that the Moonward Clan was proficient with, at a speed no slower than Xia Tian!
The wild, which stretched for tens of thousands of miles, got covered in smoke, making this place resemble hell on earth!
The land had turned unrecognizable, and at this moment, Xia Tian was completely surrounded by this powerful law force!
Intense! This fight was too intense!
If Xia Tian was a ghostly light, then Ulcen Ward was like the Ashura that destroyed everything!
He did not have an overwhelming speed like what Xia Tian had, but he had a large ‘area of effect’ attacks that the Moonward Clan was best at!
In the past, large area of effect attacks would hardly have an effect against a high speed wargod like Xia Tian, since he could rely on his insane movement speed to evade it.
Right now, Ulcen Ward was able to attack at speeds that exceeded Xia Tian’s capacity to dodge, rendering the latter’s speed advantage not as clear-cut as before!
*Bang*
It was like ten thousand bolts of lightning had struck all at once! The entire land and even the planet shook from the extreme bombardment. Even with the several layers of reinforced protective shields they got, the spectating VIPs on the warship were not spared from the tremors!
In fact, this was not ten thousands of attacks being unleashed all at once; rather, Ulcen Ward’s neural response rate was so great that it created afterimages!
It was such an intense and full-on assault! Was Xia Tian able to evade it?!
The smoke and dust settled after some time.
All they saw was the Law Emperor Xia Tian standing all alone somewhere about two hundred meters away from Ulcen Ward, his elite war armor from Fig Corporation broken, with a streak of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth!
His two hands were covering his eyes, protecting his exquisite gold wire glasses from harm.
No one could make sense why Xia Fei would still protect his glasses at such a critical juncture between life or death? Even going as far as to risk suffering heavy injuries?!
“Growl!”
The deranged Ulcen Ward was greatly encouraged, constantly letting out growls as he drummed on his chest, like a crazed beast!
Shock!
Utter shock!
Ulcen Ward actually inflicted a heavy barrage on Law Overlord Xia Tian from the Skywing—a clan famed for having members with high movement speed! This was definitely a shocking scene!
A Skywing could traverse the galaxy at such high speeds that each one of them even seemed to have a pair of wings growing on their back, yet this unparalleled speed had actually been defeated right now!
Everyone was reeling in disbelief! They were all worried about the fate of the Skywings!
Without their speed, what else would any of them have?
Suddenly!
Xia Tian let out an explosive and unhinged laughter! Even those onboard the warship could very clearly hear it. It was truly a laughter with great ferocity and very much unheard of!
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, as Xia Tian took off his golden-wired glasses in one smooth and elegant motion.
Everyone suddenly realized that Xia Tian’s eyes seemed to have been dyed blood-red at this moment!
He looked absolutely savage!
If Xia Tian were to grow some fangs at the corner of his mouth, he would look like a demon, without a doubt!
It was hard to imagine that this refined and pensive man, who gave off the air of a scholar, would actually have such a fiendish side to him!
“Quickly look! Law Overlord Xia Tian has removed his glasses!” The eyes of Withered Mu Clan’s patriarch, Mu Qiyun, shone as he said this. “Just as the nickname of the Skywings, the Demon-sealing Fiendish Blade, suggests, they’re not only the sharpest blade in the Law Realm but also the most wildly arrogant fiends!”
“The Xia Tian with glasses is an entirely different person from the Xia Tian without them!”
