*Rumble!*
Mu Linbai flew backward, blood spurted out of his mouth!
Level 2 of the Law of Primal Chaos was so strong that Mu Linbai, a mighty level 3 Law Sovereign, could not take even one punch from Xia Fei!
A spiral appeared on his chest where the blow connected, his flesh torn apart, his bones and organs shattered to bits!
It was as if some high-speed energy had been infused into Xia Fei’s steely fist, and this energy did not move in a straight trajectory but twisted, instead!
This was the wondrous attribute of the Law of Primal Chaos. It did not appear to have any sort of rule. This power simply did its utmost to tear apart the defenses of others, sowing chaos and rendering everything incredibly fragile!
As fresh blood flowed from his mouth, Mu Linbai’s white clothes were drenched in red. After painfully twitching a little, he finally stopped breathing.
Only Dark Ghost and Yu Guhe were left in the laboratory. Yu Guhe was curled up in a corner, his head lowered. At this point, his fate was sealed, and he had given up on resistance.
Dark Ghost gnashed his teeth and angrily glared at Xia Fei, his face truly as white as a ghost.
“Talk! There’s nothing between us, so why did you want to capture me?” Xia Fei coldly asked.
Dark Ghost and Yu Guhe were both very weak and could not threaten Xia Fei, so he let down his guard and lit a cigarette for himself.
Yu Guhe became heartbroken upon hearing Xia Fei’s question and immediately began to weep in regret.
“So noisy!”
*Crack!*
Xia Fei aimed his right fist at Yu Guhe’s chest and punched, penetrating through his heart and leaving a giant hole.
Dark Ghost’s face paled and he grimaced. Not only was Xia Fei a superb apothecary, he was vicious and ruthless, too! Striking without mercy!
At this moment, a massive explosion came from space. Yu Hua and Cruel Eagle were already battling, the energy of the Space and Matter laws clashing with each other to create a light which outshone the stars.
Xia Fei was startled. Why had Yu Hua and Cruel Eagle started fighting? A few minutes ago, Yu Hua appeared prepared to let Cruel Eagle go out of respect for his peer.
Xia Fei did not suspect Yu Hua too much; instead, he reckoned that Cruel Eagle had changed his mind, which led to the two fighting against each other.
Yu Hua had treated him rather well, teaching him a secret art to pass through the threshold and even giving him a portion of the precious Darkness Metal. In Xia Fei’s view, these were all signs of friendship.
*Whoosh!*
After a few rounds, Cruel Eagle saw that he was clearly no match for Yu Hua and frantically made to flee. Yu Hua pursued him without hesitation, and the two of them swiftly disappeared into the darkness of space.
While Xia Fei was watching Yu Hua’s battle with Cruel Eagle, Dark Ghost was not just sitting around. He had silently removed a bottle of black medicine from his ring.
Turning his head, Xia Fei shrugged. A battle between Law Emperors was an apex clash which was a joy to watch, and it was also a valuable learning experience, but now that Yu Hua and Cruel Eagle had drifted far from sight, Xia Fei felt rather helpless as he could not watch their battle anymore.
Raising the bottle high over his head, Dark Ghost’s expression turned savage!
“Die, Xia Fei!”
Dark Ghost moved to smash the bottle of black liquid on the ground, but though he moved quickly, Xia Fei moved even faster!
*Whoosh~*
Xia Fei vanished, and the moment before the bottle hit the ground, Xia Fei appeared, caught the bottle, and gave Dark Ghost a slap!
*Smack!*
A clear handprint appeared on the left side of Dark Ghost’s face, and four teeth along with some blood came out of his mouth.
Dark Ghost did not have much when it came to martial arts, and Xia Fei’s slap had him sprawling on the ground and seeing stars.
“It seems to be some sort of poison. Dark Ghost wanted to break it on the floor and take you with him!” Phantom said as he looked at the black liquid in Xia Fei’s hand.
“How vicious!” Xia Fei broke out in a cold sweat, and he swiftly stored the bottle in his ring.
Walking up to Dark Ghost’s side, Xia Fei clamped two fingers on one of Dark Ghost’s fingers.
*Pa!*
The finger and the spatial ring on it were plucked off!
The fingers were connected to the heart, and Dark Ghost howled in pain as blood flowed out of his hand.
“I’ll ask you one last time: Why did you want to capture me?” Xia Fei frowned and asked.
Dark Ghost moaned in pain as he told Xia Fei about how the Yu brothers had gotten their hands on Xia Fei’s medicine, how his medicine had drawn his interest, and how it had destroyed several of his valuable analysis machines.
Xia Fei laughed as he listened. A medicine without a blocker? Did these people really take him for some novice?
Xia Fei’s way of mixing medicine was completely unconventional. He had chosen the most lethal of ingredients, demanding the most heaven-defying and rigorous of recipes. These people had wanted to reverse-engineer it? Was this not seeking ill fortune?
Once he knew the story, Xia Fei could not help but sigh at how fraught the Law Realm was with dangers.
It was just a minor matter, but because Dark Ghost’s group had become involved, it had become a big mess. Xia Fei secretly made up his mind to be more cautious in the future. In this man-eat-man world, anyone could hold a grudge for anything. Inconspicuousness remained king. After all, Xia Fei still was not some well-known individual at this time.
Xia Fei had become displeased when he saw Cruel Eagle see Yu Hua and immediately go back on his promise, particularly those words of his: “This is the Law Realm! You don’t really take promises seriously, do you?”
Those words continued to linger in his mind. It seemed like promises in the Law Realm were no more than charades. Humans who sought things for their benefits while avoiding trouble was the true guiding principle in the Law Realm.
Xia Fei was only a small warrior who had just entered the Law Realm. These battles and experiences were causing him to mature rapidly and grow accustomed gradually to this man-eat-man environment.
*Swish!*
With a light swipe of October Flying Snow, Dark Ghost’s head was separated from his body. Xia Fei had completed his promise to watch his enemies die, and Dark Ghost ceased to exist within the Law Realm.
Yu Hua and Cruel Eagle were still fighting, so Xia Fei began gathering the spoils.
With no time to look at the contents, Xia Fei began taking the rings from Dark Ghost’s people.
“A high-speed centrifuge! A particle purifier!” Phantom was elated. He loved drug-makers, and this Dark Ghost truly lived up to his reputation as an underground apothecary. All of the equipment he used was very high-class and advanced, and there was a great number of them. After all, his drug production was at an almost factory level. He had several dozen high-speed centrifuges.
While gathering the spoils, Xia Fei also looked through the spatial rings, making several surprising discoveries. In crystals alone, there were 171 valuable grade 4 Origin Crystals!
Xia Fei was elated and threw Furball a grade 3 Origin Crystal. He had come away with a rich harvest this time, and Furball’s boat had also been lifted by the rising tide, and he had giving it grade 3 Origin Crystals for food. What made Xia Fei uneasy was that Furball could drain all of the vast energy stored in a grade 3 Origin Crystal very quickly. His appetite was just too good. How many crystals would he have to consume to promote by a single level? Perhaps even all the crystals in the world might not be enough.
“The total value sums up to 375 grade 4 crystals. Converted to grade 3 crystals, that’s a total of 37,500 crystals! That’s not even counting the law weapons and other valuable machines! This money is enough to last us for a very long time!” Phantom excitedly said.
Xia Fei nodded. With this money, he would no longer need to count every crystal and could spend much more freely from here on out.
*Whoosh~*
Yu Hua suddenly appeared in front of Xia Fei, calm and relaxed. It appeared that Cruel Eagle had not given him much difficulty, and he had easily dispatched him.
Glancing around at the empty barge, Yu Hua smiled. “My good man, you’ve basically ransacked the place. You’re even taking the herbs?”
Xia Fei smiled awkwardly. “There’s nothing to be done. Cultivating every day takes too much energy, so I took anything that’s worth even a bit so that I can trade it for money later.”
Yu Hua replied, “True. What warriors lack the most is energy, and it’s not every day you get to pillage the base of a drug lord. You’re in the crucial initial phase of a warrior, so storing away a little money can only be of benefit to you. Besides, it’s about time you change your equipment. You’re an Elite Law Warrior now, so you can’t go out looking too unsightly.”
Xia Fei pouted. “Aren’t my items high enough of a grade? Almost all of them are Eternal rank, and some are even Immortal rank.”
Changing equipment naturally meant spending money, but Xia Fei preferred to spend all his money on cultivating. No matter where one went, the equipment used by warriors was never cheap. Those prices in the tens of thousands made Xia Fei wince in pain.
Yu Hua replied, “This is the Law Realm, so don’t think your items from before will do you any good. The most important thing about equipment here isn’t what grade it is, but what sort of law is attached to it and the level of that law.
“You’ve seen Yuan Dian’s round shield, yes? A rather ordinary item, but because it has the defensive power of a spatial barrier attached to it, its grade is several times higher! That’s the sort of thing you need.”
Glancing at the several spatial rings in Xia Fei’s hand, Yu Hua said, “Forget it. Just keep those things you took from Dark Ghost and his men. I’ll take you to see what a true warrior’s equipment looks like! You may even be able to use this money to buy one or two nice things for yourself.”
Xia Fei felt helpless. He did not know how much law weapons cost, but from Yu Hua’s tone, the price was probably horrifying. However, it was rare for him to have an opportunity to leave the Yu family and look around, and weapons were necessities for warriors, so even if he did not buy, it would be fine to take a look.
“Why did Cruel Eagle start fighting you?” Xia Fei asked, changing the subject.
Yu Hua shrugged. “I have no idea. I was originally planning to spare him, but that fellow was too sinister. While I wasn’t paying attention, he tried getting me by surprise. I couldn’t spare him after that.”
Xia Fei did not doubt this story. He could see at a glance that Cruel Eagle was a sinister fellow, without even realizing that the truly sinister one was standing right in front of him.
…
Unlike Casa, this was a bustling and beautiful planet.
The streets were lined with ancient trees, tall and dignified. Exquisitely constructed buildings were packed together, brimming with style, expressing the wealth and refinement of their owners.
“This is Foundry City, a very famous base of artificers in the circle. Fifty percent of the people living here are artificers or people connected to the work of creating weapons. If you want to buy something real good, then this is the right place.”
Artificers were not blacksmiths. One needed to be a high-ranking law user who could imbue law energy into a weapon and make it into a law weapon!
Becoming an artificer was very difficult. Once one succeeded, one would be able to enjoy endless glory and fortune. Artificers were even more valuable than Energy Masters. This was because what Energy Masters produced was currency, energy, and money, but money might be unable to get one a high-class law weapon.
The streets were lined with stores selling law weapons, and the signs would often carry both the store name and the cultivation of the artificer.
For example: Law of Space Level 3 Sovereign, Artificer Zhang Baoquan’s Best Service. Law of Matter Level 7 Sovereign, Artificer Kevin’s Supreme Weapons…
Each store would have at least one artificer, with the larger ones having several!
Xia Fei’s eyes shone brightly. There were so many artificers, and so many law weapons!
