“God’s Eden is mine, and so is that man! You leave that man behind or none of you will leave here today!” Xia Fei took out the Fiendish Blade Nirvana and made his unreasonable demand.
It was not just the four Soul Familiars; even Yangguang and Chu Jingfeng were shocked by his words! For some reason, Xia Fei had become very arrogant, challenging the Soul Familiars who had served the Four Sky Devils!
It had to be understood that these four were a portion of the Sky Devils’ soul, and were existences on par with Chu Jingfeng! Even Yggdragon King Yangguang did not dare to fight with them so lightly!
Whoosh!
Nirvana curved through the air as Xia Fei’s eyes erupted with killing intent. He was not giving thefour Soul Familiars any room for negotiation at all!
Wing stepped forward and demanded angrily, “Say that again!?”
“I’m saying that you leave the Immemorial Mystical Armament here and then scram!” Xia Fei answered, enunciating each word.
With an ominous rumble, the four Soul Familiars’ Inner Demons exploded. Xia Fei’s challenge had ignited the savagery in their hearts!
Yangguang frowned and looked at Xia Fei. He now understood Xia Fei’s plan. Him, his wife Hanxiao, Chu Jingfeng, Xu Luanbu, and Xia Fei! This force was enough to battle against the four Soul Familiars!
This was Xia Fei’s only chance!
If the four Soul Familiars left the eighth universe, Xia Fei would no longer have the support of the Yggdragon King, so challenging the four Soul Familiars would be as difficult as ascending to heaven!
At the crucial moment, Xia Fei again exhibited his decisive attitude!
The chance could not be lost and might not come again. He would take care of these four troublemakers in one go and take the Metal Immemorial Mystical Armament as well!
Smiling, Yangguang stepped forward and said, “You heard what Xia Fei said! Leave this man behind, or else, none of you will be leaving here!”
Although Chu Jingfeng found this course of action rather risky, the four Soul Familiars had asked for God’s Eden, which was a taboo subject to Chu Jingfeng!
Gripping the Dhara Buddha Star, Chu Jingfeng prepared for battle.
“Hahaha!” Wing, Gale, Ocean, and Calamity laughed loudly. Gale pointed at Xia Fei and asked, “Old Dragon, Chu Jingfeng, it seems like you’re planning to stand on Xia Fei’s side, in opposition to us brothers?”
“Correct! So long as you leave that man behind, I will let you go out of respect for the Four Sky Devils,” Yangguang declared in an iron voice.
The Soul Familiars glanced at each other, and then Gale said, “So what do we do now? These guys are very strong.”
Wing rubbed his thumb across the tip of his nose and said in disdain, “Strong? The verdict’s still out on that!”
*Whoosh!*
Wing suddenly shot forward, Gale, Ocean, and Calamity right behind.
With a crash, two laser beams slammed into each other! It was Xia Fei! The speed-type Xia Fei had started fighting with the speed-type Soul Familiar Wing!
As the Broken Wing Sky Devil Paletooth’s Soul Familiar, Wing possessed transcendent speed! This was his greatest source of strength!
Alas, Xia Fei’s speed was also transcendent! They were completely on par with each other in terms of speed!
Two clashing streaks of light whizzed here and there, leaving everyone dazzled!
It was hard to say if Xia Fei or Wing was faster!
Xia Fei and Wing had exchanged more than a thousand blows in a single second! The two of them split apart, standing opposite one another. Wing had quite the interesting expression!
Wing looked at Xia Fei and blurted out in shock, “Broken Wing! Transcendent speed!? Who are you!? What’s your connection to Lord Paletooth!?”
The speed that was on par with his was enough to leave Wing flabbergasted, but Xia Fei also had broken Fiendwings! That was the symbol of Sky Devil Paletooth! Why did Xia Fei have them!?
Xia Fei smiled. It appeared that Wing believed that he had some connection with Paletooth, which made him very nervous. Xia Fei had no desire to explain. In fact, he was anxious to further the misunderstanding.
He released even more Fiendish energy, making the tattered wings behind him even more prominent.
Let alone the four Soul Familiars, even Yangguang couldn’t help but wonder if Xia Fei had some connection to Paletooth.
The thought left him wary and alarmed. Xia Fei was a person with a strong personality, and his methods were varied and ruthless, rather like that old demon Paletooth!
It wasn’t just Yangguang thinking this. The four Soul Familiars thought the same!
Battles depended on skill, but even more on aura. Xia Fei had revealed a speed that exceeded sixty million meters per second and his broken Fiendwings, breaking the aura of the four Soul Familiars!
Xia Fei was the one who had provoked this battle. If he wasn’t confident in his chances, how could he have dared to do such a thing!?
“Hold on!” the smartest of them, Gale, suddenly spoke up. “Actually, we don’t have a use for this person, but the fruits of God’s Eden do have some use for us. Why don’t we let you have both the person and the garden, and when the fruits ripen, you just give us some,” Gale offered.
Everyone looked at Xia Fei, including Yangguang. In truth, he didn’t want to fight with the four Soul Familiars.
Xia Fei chuckled. “You guys must be dreaming! I went through all the trouble to restore God’s Eden, and you just want me to split the literal fruits of my labor with you? Aren’t you getting off too easily?”
Gale smiled. “We certainly didn’t just ask. We’ve even brought you the last Immemorial Mystical Armament that you need. Moreover, it wasn’t only through your work that God’s Eden was activated. The Chu Clan can’t be happy about such a claim.”
Chu Jingfeng immediately came up and shouted, “There’s no need for you to try and sow discord between me and Xia Fei! God’s Eden was able to recover entirely because of Xia Fei! He is the inheritor of the Fiend Race. Our Chu Clan once worked for the Four Sky Devils, and now, we only work for Xia Fei!”
The four Soul Familiars were all shaken. Xia Fei was the one who had awakened God’s Eden!? What was going on!?
The four Soul Familiars knew that God’s Eden had belonged to the Sky Devils. If Xia Fei had been able to revive it, did that mean he had some unspeakable connection to the Sky Devils?
Paletooth’s Soul Familiar Wing quietly recovered and shot glances to his three companions. He whispered, “Xia Fei’s speed surpasses sixty million, and he has a pair of broken Fiendwings! I really can’t tell what’s going on here.”
The four Soul Familiars had lost their confidence. Gale was the Medicinal Cauldron Prince’s Soul Familiar and the smartest of them. After some thought, he came up with a smile, “We’ve had a talk. You are all eitherthe Sky Devils’ descendants or their friends, while we are their Soul Familiars. Nothing good will come from us fighting one another.
“The shadow of the dragons has reemerged, and the Hell Brigade has appeared across the universe. We should be uniting against this common foe…”
Gale truly had a way with words. It was almost like he was giving a speech.
Xia Fei frowned and asked, “You know of the Hell Brigade appearing in Annihilation?”
Gale nodded. “We know quite a lot about it. If you’re willing, we can trade information in exchange for this guy. But we need the fruits of God’s Eden. This is our final offer!”
Xia Fei was very curious. Why were the four Soul Familiars so obsessed with the fruits?
“God’s Eden is enormous, and there are innumerable kinds of fruits planted there. You can’t want all of them, right?” Xia Fei pressed.
“Not at all. We’ve been to the plant nursery and found remnants of Jade Dragon Frost. We learned that the Jade Dragon Frost has mutated after a long period of time and how it has gained formidable survival abilities, so we want its fruit. We won’t take anything else.
“We then went to God’s Eden and saw the black hole and the signs of invasion from the Hell Brigade, through which we learned that the draconids were starting to make their move. Finally, we came here.”
‘It really was the Jade Dragon Frost!’ Xia Fei mentally noted. In God’s Eden, that was the most miraculous of the plants. The Four Sky Devils had been trying to finish nurturing this plant so that they could take it with them, but they had ultimately failed.
It appeared that the four Soul Familiars were telling the truth. After some thought, Xia Fei asked, “Tell me, why do you want the fruit of the Jade Dragon Frost?”
The four Soul Familiars glanced at each other and exchanged words.
“Apologies, we can’t say the reason. In brief, we are the Soul Familiars of the Sky Devils, so we would not do anything that would hurt them,” Gale said for them.
Xia Fei curled his lip. “From what I know, you guys are very loyal to the Sky Devils, but you’re not very loyal to the Fiend Race. How can I trust you?”
Gale justified their stance, “We are the Soul Familiars of the Sky Devils, so isn’t it only natural that we’re loyal to them? Your Fiend Race is on the same level as us Soul Familiars, so why should we serve you!? We serve the Sky Devils!”
Gale was treating Xia Fei as a spokesperson of the Fiend Race, saying ‘your Fiend Race’, as if the Fiends had nothing to do with them.
“I’ve said everything I’ve had to say. Can we reach an agreement now?” Gale asked him.
Xia Fei said thoughtfully, “Let me think for a moment.”
“There’s no need for you to think any further! We must have the Jade Dragon Frost’s fruit, whether you agree or not! We’ll even steal it if we have to!” Gale threatened, clenching his teeth.
Xia Fei had never been one to fall for either cajolery or threats. He was somewhat easier to deal with when sweet-talked, but since Gale was resorting to threats, Xia Fei was very displeased.
Xia Fei took out the Fiend King Scepter, holding it in his hand as he said grimly, “That definitely isn’t all they know. Let’s go and seize them!”
With a rumble, the Fiend King Scepter activated, and the Fiend Lock that was linked to it became dazzlingly bright.
Strangely, the moment Xia Fei held up the scepter, the four Soul Familiars paled, and when Xia Fei activated it, Gale dropped to the ground in pain, his body convulsing.
Xia Fei looked questioningly at the scepter. Was it really this powerful? He hadn’t even attacked, but one of the four Soul Familiars had already fallen!
“Xia Fei! I understand!” Radix shouted. “The Fiend King Scepter isn’t just a weapon, but a tool the Sky Devils left to control the four Soul Familiars! This is a weapon that’s fatal to them!”
Upon hearing this, Yangguang, Xu Luanbu, Hanxiao, Chu Jingfeng, and Xia Fei all became excited!
This was like seizing the head of a viper! Xia Fei had a weapon that could make the souls of the four Soul Familiars leave their bodies!
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei’s group surrounded the four Soul Familiars with wicked smiles, as they were all ghastly pale.
“Tell me everything you know, or die!” Xia Fei glared at them.
