“Anyone who stands in my way dies!” Xia Fei bellowed, Fiendish energy erupting from his body as he glared at them.
Such a savage and unreasonable sort!
It was clearly Xia Fei who had drawn everyone to this part of the mountain, and now he was complaining that these people were blocking his path!
In truth, Xia Fei couldn’t be blamed, for he understood what was going on. Better to squash enmity, rather than keeping it alive? You could only fool children with the latter! Resentment could only be resolved in one way: you die, or I die!
This wasn’t Earth, but the Alpha Universe, where old monsters reigned supreme!
Even a child could be some freakish monster who had lived thousands of years. These guys were tougher than diamonds and more venomous than scorpions!
Being gentle to one’s enemies was being cruel to oneself! Since he had created this grudge, he would beat it to death, giving his enemies no chance to return!
The slightest lack of caution might result in an extra burden on not just Xia Fei, but all of the Skywings! On Avril! On Earth!
Thus, Xia Fei had no other choice, nor did he need to make a choice! Since the war had begun, he would kill until there were no enemies left, until the weeds had been plucked out by the roots!
Rumble!
The Skywings didn’t need a reason to kill!
With a single order from Xia Fei, the Wolfpack Formation rumbled to life!
The women of the Xiao Clan? The geniuses of the Xiao Clan? Kill them all!
Shui Niao’s beard trembled in rage. He had seen stubborn people before, but never anyone as stubborn as Xia Fei!
With a wave of his hand, the Shui Clan’s people took the Xiao Clan’s place in fighting against the Skywings.
While the Skywings had lower cultivation, they had speed and their formation. Other than the lone wolves Xia Gucheng and Xia Fei, the rest were all working together.
The Shui Clan could tell that the Skywing Wolfpack Formation wouldn’t fall easily, so they started to attack Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng. Alas, Xia Gucheng was a rare max-ranked speed expert, and he was truly moving like a ray of light, striking with his staff and vanishing without a trace. He was a wily old fox and very difficult to deal with.
There was no need to bring up Xia Fei. With his six Soul Marks and a sea of spirit energy in reserve, he was just as strong as any member of the Shui Clan, and his speed was just as shocking! He also had Furball, Peacock Blue, and the Nirvana Fiend Blade protecting him. Not even two or three people working together could get close to him!
Seeing that Xia Fei and Xia Gucheng couldn’t be touched, the Shui Clan turned their focus on Ulan.
The Skywing Wolves were so vicious that the Rank 8 Great Spiritualist Ulan ended up becoming the weak point in the eyes of the Shui Clan, but there was nothing that could be done about that. Ulan was of the Plant lineage and had never been good at fighting. In terms of combat experience, he couldn’t even compare to the twenty-some-year-old Xia Fei.
“Now! Attack en masse! Seize that old thing!”
As the three heroes of the Shui Clan moved in unison on Ulan, Xia Fei roared!
Shui Guqing, Shui Yazi, Shui Pingxi, and Shui Niao were the backbone of the Shui Clan’s force of several dozen men. Ulan was in the very back, more than a thousand meters from Xia Fei and the rest. The three geniuses had joined hands to attack, which meant that the clan head, Shui Niao, was all alone.
This was a chance for the Skywing Wolves!
Xia Fei’s goal had been very clear from the start: capture the king to capture the lackeys! Kill Shui Niao first! Slay the Water Dragon King!
The three heroes of the Shui Clan instantly paled. Shui Niao was the soul of the clan! If something happened to him, not only would the battle be lost, the entire Shui Clan would fall and never recover again!
Just like Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng for the Skywings, Shui Niao was the god of the Serene Jadewater Clan!
Rumble!
“Since you’re here, don’t even think about leaving!”
Just as the three Shui heroes were about to go to the aid of their patriarch, old Ulan suddenly exploded!
In truth, Ulan really hadn’t expected today to turn out like this. Where did all of Xia Fei’s usual schemes go? This was nothing more than brute force! He could have never imagined that Xia Fei would fight his way up Spirit Mountain!
There were piles of experts on Spirit Mountain, and Ulan couldn’t imagine what things would be like once they reached the summit.
But it was too late for Ulan to regret his choices. He was already tied to Xia Fei’s ship, together with the entirety of the Plant lineage. He had no choice but to fight! If this ship sank, the Plant lineage would completely vanish from the universe! Ulan would never accept that!
“I’ll show you the power of my Plant lineage! Bittervine Sky Entangler!” Ulan bellowed, releasing the strongest Mystical Armament of the Plant lineage!
Rumble!
An enormous plant grew forth crazily, erupting out of the earth like a dragon!
This giant dragon was several kilometers in length, but it suddenly exploded into countless terrifying worms that bound up the three heroes of the Shui Clan!
The three heroes were dragons among men, and weren’t something that the average top-class Spiritualist could deal with. They moved very quickly, trying to remove the terrifying things.
Alas, the Bittervine Sky Entangler was simply massive, and it came apart into tens of thousands of individual parts!
Although it couldn’t kill Shui Guqing, Shui Yazi, and Shui Pingxi, it did buy Xia Fei precious time!
In a flash of motion, the Skywing Wolves had received Xia Fei’s order and fiercely attacked!
“Take this!”
Grand Ancestor Xia Gucheng led the charge, wielding that staff Soul Weapon without a name and swinging it around with smashing force and unstoppable momentum!
That one swing created a mighty gale!
Originally, the four experts of the Shui Clan would have been able to block the attack, but now the three lesser Shui Clan heroes were being held down by Ulan. Thus, while the Shui Clan had more members than the Skywolves, Shui Niao was the only one who could block the blow!
“Flying Bird Form!”
Shui Niao was still an old monster. He feared some trick in Xia Gucheng’s move and did not dare to directly receive it, so he used the true inheritance of his clan, the Three Waterfowl Forms!
These three moves were the ultimate skills of the Serene Jadewater Clan, and had allowed them to proudly laugh over the Alpha Universe for eons!
He dropped his head, and a bird made of water rushed out from behind him!
While it was called the Flying Bird Form, its true form was a hawk, a divine raptor! It was simply massive, with a wingspan a kilometer wide!
Bang!
Xia Gucheng’s staff struck the water bird, smashing it in the head before it could even take flight.
“Not good! There’s a hidden move!” Xia Gucheng cried out in alarm, backing away.
The moment the Flying Bird Form was struck, countless spikes of ice shot out, instantly turning into hailstones that engulfed the area. Each hailstone was imbued with dark energy, turning them into countless flying knives! Anyone struck would be dead or heavily injured!
“Peacock Blue!”
At this dangerous juncture, Xia Fei summoned Peacock Blue from his right arm!
The nine massive leaves grew out like skyscraping trees, instantly reaching several kilometers in length!
A second later, the nine leaves spun about and blocked all the hailstones!
It was a very desperate move!
Peacock Blue had used its own body to block the Flying Bird Form, destroying itself in the process! Its enormous body was turned into shards of wood matter, and it would take several hours before it recovered its combat ability.
After all, Shui Niao was the Shui Clan’s number one expert, the Water Dragon King!
After the Flying Bird Form was the second powerful move of the Shui Clan: Hundred Bird Form!
Rumble!
A large swathe of the trees on Spirit Mountain withered away. For this attack, Shui Niao was greedly absorbing the water elemental energy of Spirit Mountain!
All of the ground was turned into a battlefield!
The hundred birds were actually the unfathomably vast amount of water elemental energy converging on the area!
Like a flock of maddened wild ducks, they flapped their wings and rushed at the Skywing Wolfpack Formation!
Even more terrifying was that another bird of water was forming behind the hundred birds! Moments after the Hundred Bird Form had been unleashed, the strongest of the three moves, the Waterbird Form, was about to impact them!
The clan head of the Shui Clan was called Shui Niao because his final move of the Three Waterfowl Forms was the strongest! No one was more skilled than him at the Waterbird Form!
Turning the earth into a cage, one’s enemies into waterbirds!
In a flash, the soil under foot was turned into a lake! All of their enemies would fall into the water, to be killed one by one!
This was the Three Waterfowl Forms, the strongest combat technique of the Serene Jadewater Clan!
It went from one flying bird into thousands of waterbirds into the earth itself becoming a lake, a Hell for its enemies!
Powerful! Incomparably powerful!
Let alone the people on the battlefield, even those on Spirit Mountain were shaken by this move!
Everyone knew that the Serene Jadewater’s Three Waterfowl Forms were incredibly powerful, but only by truly experiencing them did they realize how terrifying they were!
“This is the Three Waterfowl forms! It’s incredible! So powerful!”
“It’s over! Those guys trying to break into Spirit Mountain will all die!”
Cries of alarm came from the crowd, and in the middle of it all, Zesyr Night clutched Cloud Night’s arm grimly, on the verge of fainting. As for Cloud Night, he had a nasty look on his face.
His words had turned out to be tragically prophetic. Xia Fei had really overestimated his strength and drawn out the Water Dragon King. At this great distance, Cloud Night couldn’t save Xia Fei, even if he wanted to! It seemed like he really would have to clean up Xia Fei’s corpse!
“No way! Shui Niao is dead!” someone suddenly shouted, leaving everyone stunned!
Upon looking closely, they could see that a unique cross-shaped blade had come out of nowhere and stabbed into Shui Niao’s chest, dividing the number one water expert known as the Water Dragon King in half!
Plush!
Without leaking even a drop of blood, the Fiend Blade Nirvana had killed the Dragon King!
Plush!
With another chop, it took off Shui Niao’s head!
Someone then picked up Shui Niao’s head and charged up towards the summit of Spirit Mountain!
With Shui Niao’s death, his Three Waterfowl Forms dissipated into nothing!
Only now were they able to see that Xia Fei, Xia Gucheng, Xia Guanghai, and all the Skywing Wolves were injured!
It turned out that they had never once stopped their offensive!
When the hundred birds had taken flight, they truly had inflicted some damage on the Skywings, but the Skywings had pushed through the birds to keep attacking! When the Water Bird had formed, the Wolfpack had already gotten close!
What followed was very simple. Xia Fei had charged up and ended the Water Dragon King’s life with one stab of his blade!
The Skywings had used their actions to give all these experts a lesson. When dealing with speed experts, you had to make your moves faster than them, or else the speed warrior would take advantage of the gap between your techniques to kill you!
And also… never make an enemy of reckless and speedy madmen like the Skywings, for even if you were fast enough, the Skywing Wolves would push through anyway and kill you!
…
Sprinting hard, Xia Fei was the first to reach the top of Spirit Mountain!
Pa!
Xia Fei raised Shui Niao’s head high and then threw it to the ground. It blasted apart, brains and blood flying everywhere!
He scanned the crowd coldly, then said viciously, “I didn’t come here to argue! Anyone who dares to stop me will end up like that!”
Everyone paled. What was going on!?
Xia Fei was a young man in his twenties, but he was threatening old monsters of the Alpha Universe! This was a little too absurd!
Wails came from behind him as Xia Gucheng led the Skywing Wolves in cleaning up!
Around a minute later, the Xiao Clan and the Serene Jadewater Clan had been completely wiped out!
It had been outrageously one-sided. No one could have expected the majestic Shui Clan and the Water Dragon King Shui Niao to die like that! They were all dumbfounded!
At this moment, Fuchen’s great disciple, Lingxing, stepped forward and declared viciously, “Xia Fei! Barging into Spirit Mountain is a capital crime! Come! Execute him!”
“You seem to know me?” Xia Fei smiled gently.
As he spoke, he raised his arm and flashed a Golden Seal, loudly saying, “You know me, so do you know this!?”
“The Unrestricted Golden Seal! The treasure that identifies the Sectmaster of the Unrestricted Sect!” someone in the know immediately shouted, leaving everyone stunned!
Xia Fei snorted. He walked to the center of Spirit Mountain’s altar and yelled, “I am Xia Fei! On orders from Unrestricted Sectmaster Fuchen, I am taking over the Unrestricted Sect, starting from today!
“Those who disobey will be executed!
“Those who disrespect their teachers and insult their ancestors will also be executed!”
Xia Fei’s face was dark as he spoke in a murderous tone, his voice booming!
His eyes were streaked with blood, and everyone could tell that he was targeting Basalt, Lingxing, and Hei Wuji with his words.
Whoosh!
The crowd exploded into an uproar. The shocks they had experienced during the last few minutes had just been too great!
First, the Feng, Shui, and Xiao Clans had all been massacred on Spirit Mountain!
And now the Unrestricted Sect was changing masters!? This had more twists than the most dramatic of dramas!
Someone bold came up to examine the Golden Seal in Xia Fei’s hand, and the letter that Fuchen had left. He nodded, indicating that the contents were real, upon which everyone froze, not knowing what to do.
The Unrestricted Golden Seal was real, as was Fuchen’s letter! Was the Unrestricteds really going to become Xia Fei’s, starting today?
Lingxing, Basalt, and Hei Wuji exchanged glances, and then they surrounded Xia Fei and took out their Soul Weapons.
Basalt swung around his Soul Weapon and shouted, “You, the Sectmaster!? Are you trying to make me laugh to death? You must have stolen it! Return that Golden Seal to me and apologize with ninety-nine kowtows, and then I’ll spare your life!”
Everyone broke out in a sweat for Xia Fei’s sake. He was all alone, so it would be very hard for him to get out of this in one piece.
At that moment, the Skywing Wolves and Ulan had finished cleaning up the rest of the enemies and began to charge up to the peak of Spirit Mountain.
Ulan led the way, yelling as he walked, “I am the current leader of the Plant Spiritualists, Ulan! Everyone should know who I am. I can serve as Xia Fei’s guarantor! Fuchen truly did order Xia Fei to take charge of everything concerning the Unrestricted Sect!”
Lingxing and the others naturally knew Ulan. Hei Wuji said sinisterly, “You call yourself the master of the Plant lineage, but I think it would be better to call you a dog of the Spiritualist Association! Your guarantees don’t count for anything!”
“Hmph! I just knew you would try anything to deny it!” Ulan grunted back.
He waved his hand, and four people floated out of the crowd, none other than Ulan’s four remaining junior brothers!
“We are all part of the Plant lineage, and the Plant lineage has always been part of the Spiritualist Association, so there’s nothing to say about that. We can all verify Fuchen’s words,” one of them spoke up neutrally.
The Plant lineage truly did belong to wood, for its members always spoke as if they were aloof and above the fray. Compared to them, even Fuchen would be considered quite the savage character. Xia Fei couldn’t help but shake his head.
“What about it! What can you do if I don’t believe you!? You think that you can bully us because you have the numbers!?” Lingxing snickered cruelly.
Basalt waved his hand, and a quarter of the crowd shifted behind Lingxing’s group. These people had received favors, so they naturally needed to protect their master.
Basalt clenched his fists and declared, “Not just Xia Fei, your Plant lineage also shouldn’t think about leaving Spirit Mountain alive today!”
There was no point in trying to maintain his dignity now. Basalt and company had decided to kill Xia Fei’s group first and then seize the Sectmaster’s Golden Seal.
“You’re certain you can touch a person of my Aurora Clan!?” came a voice out of the crowd. It seemed like Wistful Heizus of the Aurora Clan had arrived, his face cold as he walked up to Xia Fei’s side.
“Oh, it’s the cowardly Aurora Clan. You can leave your lives here too!” Basalt roared back.
“Goodness! After all this time, it seems like the public considers our Aurora Clan as a bunch of cowards now!” a shrill voice rang out, and the crowd hastily opened a path. A transcendent elder walked out, his hands held behind his back and a confident look on his face.
“Wistful Zaifeng! Are you Old Immortal Wistful Zaifeng!?”
An elder tottered over, appearing very excited. He dropped to his knees in front of Wistful Zaifeng, saying, “Old Immortal, I am Tai San from Sulin Old City! You saved my life once!”
“Oh, Tai San. Your grandfather was Tai Taiying, if I recall,” Wistful Zaifeng helped up the old man as he spoke. Smiling, he said, “Tai San, you were only this tall back then, but you’ve gotten old.”
“Who are you to dare address my grandfather by his name!?” A young man next to Tai San stepped out and roared, not knowing of Wistful Zaifeng’s identity.
Pa!
Tai San turned around and slapped that child. He angrily said, “Kneel at once! This venerable master is the ninth patriarch of the Aurora Clan! Even if you were your grandfather’s grandfather’s grandfather, he would still have to call this venerable elder Grand Ancestor!”
Whoosh!
All of Spirit Mountain was stunned by these words!
The ninth patriarch of the Aurora Clan!? There was no doubt, this was a legendary hermit!
What exactly was a hermit!? These were the final trump cards of a clan!
What had happened with the Aurora Clan that they had requested the aid of this old monster!?
Was the universe about to suffer a calamity!? Even a hermit had appeared!
Basalt, Lingxing, and Hei Wuji all paled.
If Xia Fei had the help of a hermit, the situation was completely different. Hermits were all old monsters who lived for eons, and their combat power could not be measured purely through rank!
Alas, the shock was only getting started, not ending!
Wistful Yuanyuan, Wistful Li, and Wistful Ao all took the stage, pushing the mood to the maximum!
“Wistful Clotho! Look! Even the third Aurora Clan patriarch, Wistful Clotho, has come out!”
The hermits coming up were all living fossils. The third patriarch? What sort of concept was that!? That was an old monster who had been around at the founding of the Alpha Universe! So old that you couldn’t get any older!
Suddenly, Xia Fei laughed heartily. “Basalt! Lingxing! Hei Wuji! You wanted to compete in strength, right!? Come on! Kill them!”
The Aurora Clan had invited no less than twenty hermits! Even the oldest one, Third Patriarch Clotho, had appeared! This was essentially mobilizing half the strength of the universe!
With a rumble, murderous energy rocketed into the sky!
Hei Wuji was the oldest, so he managed to maintain his composure and shout out, “Hold on! Xia Fei, you’re part of Unrestricted Sect, and so am I! Our sect matters don’t permit the interference of outsiders!”
The others nodded. This was an internal struggle of the Unrestricted Sect, so there was no reason to drag in the Plant lineage, the Aurora Clan, or the Skywings!
“Right, internal conflict betwen Unrestricteds can’t involve outsiders!”
“If you want to resolve it, you have to do it internally! Those are the rules!”
Even those prestigious elders couldn’t help but nod. Those ridiculous rules needed to be maintained!
Lingxing and company rubbed their palms. IF there were no outsiders involved, then they were quite confident that they could kill Xia Fei!
But they were so happy that they failed to notice Xia Fei’s face getting darker and darker!
“Fine!” Xia Fei glared. He snarled, “I’ll be honest! If I want to kill people, none of them can hope to get out alive! Today, you’re going to die whether you want to or not!”
There was the sound of a gust of wind as he jumped onto the highest level of the altar and placed his hands behind his back, looking like a Fiend descended to the mortal plane!
“Screw your rules! I’m sick of this sect! I, Xia Fei, as the master of the Unrestricted Sect, hereby announce that, starting from today, the Unrestricted Sect is no more! The sect is disbanded!”
The entire place fell silent.
Mad!
Fiendish!
Was there anything as crazy as that!?
Unrestricted Sect, the leader of the four great sects!
Unrestricted Sect, the orthodox lineage of Spiritualists!
Just like that…
It had been disbanded!
