Chapter 956: Taming the Whistling Moon Willow plus The Start of Trouble
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Mystical Armament Whistling Moon Willow! When the wind blew, the willow catkins were like throat-slitting blades!
Immemorial Mystical Armament Whistling Moon Willow was no ordinary weapon. The moment Xia Fei placed it in the Precious Brilliance Space, the Whistling Moon Willow sensed his threat and Peacock Blue’s desire, and so it immediately turned the surrounding air into a storm of blades.
The blades were sharp, the air stream mobilized into killing weapons, but what was most formidable about them was their unpredictability. To the left were a thousand blades and to the right were a thousand blades. It was as if a deluge had joined a tornado, and it was difficult to defend against them.
The Seven Plants of the Cloud Sea had gentle nature and tenacious life sources. The Whistling Moon Willow was a rare exception as an offensive weapon among the seven.
The Whistling Moon Willow seemed like a fiendish demon with disheveled hair, its drooping willow branches flailing around like divine whips, each swing a vicious attack!
“Sheesh! It’s my first time running into a mystical armament that attacks first. Even the Scattered Star Chrysanthemum and its energy flowers didn’t counterattack so fiercely. It seems that this Whistling Moon Willow truly does have a ruthless personality!” Xia Fei began to dodge around the windstorm while carefully observing the Whistling Moon Willow’s attack patterns.
The plant-type Immemorial Mystical Armaments Xia Fei had subdued in the past all had very docile personalities, only attacking after Xia Fei had attacked, but the moment he let out the Whistling Moon Willow, it attacked him, viciously biting at him without asking about right or wrong!
The mystical armaments that Xia Fei had tamed in the past could be compared to hunting dogs, and the Whistling Moon Willow was undoubtedly a wild wolf, with a berserk nature and sharp claws!
Radix felt very excited, sternly saying, “That’s exactly what you want! Plant-type mystical armaments are too gentle and docile. You need a savage monster like the Whistling Moon Willow to increase your combat power! Once you get the Whistling Moon Willow, Peacock Blue’s rank will definitely rise!”
Xia Fei firmly nodded. “Okay! Let’s see which of one us is crazier!”
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei continued to flit around like a ghost while being watchful of the Whistling Moon Willow’s attacks.
It must be said that the Whistling Moon Willow was undoubtedly an oddball among the plant-type mystical armaments. No matter how he saw it, Whistling Moon Willow seemed to have a overly unbridled personality for a plant. It was clear that Xia Fei, with his many trump cards, was many times stronger than the Whistling Moon Willow, and even Law Gods had fallen to him, but the Whistling Moon Willow just did not care. Even with its one-note attacks, it still kept fighting! Xia Fei could not help but take a liking to its personality.
Several minutes later, Xia Fei stopped dodging and become like a stone Buddha as he let the wind blades of the Whistling Moon Willow batter the Sin Raksha armor!
“What are you doing now? Why aren’t you dodging?” Radix curiously asked.
Xia Fei had the Crafty Approach and he had his speed, so it was not difficult for him to dodge the Whistling Moon Willow’s attacks, but Xia Fei had oddly chosen to stop dodging and let the Whistling Moon Willow beat him up. Radix did not get it.
The sparks leaping around Xia Fei’s eyes made Radix shiver in fear. It seemed that he had found a way to deal with the Whistling Moon Willow.
“Dodge?” Xia Fei smiled as he loudly asked. “When facing an opponent weaker than me, why should I dodge?!”
Radix was stunned and pondered over his words. In the distance, the Whistling Moon Willow also seemed to understand Xia Fei’s meaning and slightly slowed down its attacks.
As Xia Fei pointed into the distance, his eyes erupted with cold light!
“Every slash you send my way, I’ll return ten!”
…
Radix was completely speechless!
The method Xia Fei had devised to deal with the vicious Whistling Moon Willow was to be even more vicious!
After the fierce winds and rain had passed, the Whistling Moon Willow became like a real weeping willow, its leaves drooping to the ground, its imposing aura from before completely vanishing. It was like a defeated general as it weakly struggled.
“Xia Fei, you’re really vicious! How could you treat an Immemorial Mystical Armament like this? No matter how you put it, Whistling Moon Willow will eventually become one of your important cards!” Radix gasped in bewilderment, his eyes wide open.
Xia Fei coldly stared at the Whistling Moon Willow and indifferently said, “There’s no time. Haven’t you realized it yet? The situation is much more complicated than we thought. Even now, I still don’t know why I’m able to be tracked by the Law Realm experts no matter where I go in the Dark lifeform territory.”
Radix said nothing, dropping his head as he began to think, too. The situation truly was very strange. It was as if someone had been reporting Xia Fei’s whereabouts to the enemies, but who would have such a good grasp of Xia Fei’s movements? It must be understood that not many people knew that Xia Fei had entered the Dark lifeform territory.
Also, whether it was The Gemini or the rest of Xia Fei’s equipment, they had all been thoroughly searched and they had found no problems with them. The fact that he was still being pursued and entrapped in these circumstances forced Xia Fei to elevate his vigilance.
Even stranger was that, whenever Xia Fei entered a resting period, everything would be fine. Incidents would happen when Xia Fei started moving again. For example, Xia Fei was completely focused on subduing the Whistling Moon Willow and had wasted several hours on the process, but no one had come to cause him trouble.
Putting everything together, Xia Fei concluded that the person in the shadows was choosing when to send information, choosing the right moments for Xia Fei to fall into the trap!
Xia Fei had never encountered such a situation before, and he could not help but worry. As the saying went, the unseen enemy was the most frightening! The mission had to keep going, and he had to deal with this unseen opponent! The pressure on his shoulders was immense!
“Even if the Whistling Moon Willow is injured, I can use my own energy to repair the damage. What’s important is that this guy has to serve me!” Xia Fei sternly said.
Time was short, and Xia Fei did not have the time to build a relationship with the Whistling Moon Willow. Thus, he used a brutal method to beat down the Whistling Moon Willow, but this had had a miraculous effect. This was because the Whistling Moon Willow was not some gentle character. If Xia Fei tried to tame it by slowly getting closer to it, it would be both more difficult and take much more time, and time was exactly what Xia Fei lacked.
Xia Fei raised his right arm, and the seven bluegrass blades of Peacock Blue spiralled out like the arms of an octopus, looking down on the Whistling Moon Willow.
Raising his eyebrow, Xia Fei sternly said, “Peacock Blue, subdue it!”
…
The Precious Brilliance Space.
*Whoosh whoosh!*
Peacock Blue moved so quickly that all it left in the air were dizzying blurs.
With each swing, it would create a slender wind blade. This was the wind attribute of the Whistling Moon Willow.
After absorbing the Whistling Moon Willow, Peacock Blue’s blades were now ten kilometers long! Double the length!
Also, because it had absorbed the Whistling Moon Willow, each ten-kilometer-long blade of grass could create a giant wind blade of similar length! A power to slice apart the world!
The Whistling Moon Willow’s wind blades had been short and fast, but after it was integrated into Peacock Blue, the wind blades became long and sweeping. Each blade had 120% power, and they were even more effective when dealing with giant Dark lifeforms!
Now, Peacock Blue had eight, not seven grass blades!
It had promoted!
After a short amount of time, Peacock Blue had absorbed the Whistling Moon Willow and promoted again! Once more getting closer to its complete form of thirteen blades of grass!
*Whoosh!*
Xia Fei put away Peacock Blue, lit a stick of his cheap cigarette, and casually stood up.
Radix excitedly said, “Such powerful wind blades! Peacock Blue can now make long-distance attacks! These powerful blows seem capable of destroying everything! More importantly, Peacock Blue has promoted again! It has only been one day, but Peacock Blue has promoted twice! What a wonderful surprise!”
Xia Fei nodded and said, “Peacock Blue may have been born to deal with the Dark lifeforms and those creatures beyond the Cosmic Gate. I’ve also come to realize the effectiveness of Peacock Blue not just against the Dark lifeforms. It even seems to grow very quickly in battles, as we can see by how it promoted twice in such short order.”
Suddenly, Furball turned over and began to snore. Whether he was really asleep or just faking it, it was clear that he was unhappy.
Xia Fei and Radix could not help but smile. Furball and Peacock Blue had been rivals, and now that Peacock Blue had subdued the Whistling Moon Willow and brought together five mystical armaments, even evolving twice, it had left Furball far behind. Furball, who felt quite humiliated, was likely in a terrible mood right now.
Shaking his head, Xia Fei put Peacock Blue, sat back on the ground, and stroked his spatial ring, taking out the White Flamingo to examine it.

“What’s this?” Radix curiously asked.
Xia Fei replied, “I’ve thought it over. Among all the things that I have, it’s only this White Flamingo that I can’t understand. This may have been the cause behind me being hunted down twice.”
Radix said in shock, “That can’t be! The Skywing Clan gave you this. You’re suspecting your own clan?”
Xia Fei nonchalantly said, “I’m just judging matters impartially. Although I’m confident that my clan will never sell me out, this White Flamingo is truly too strange. It doesn’t seem like a product of the Law Realm’s technology. Look at its composition and communication circuits. At my current level of knowledge, I can’t make heads or tails of it.”
Radix replied, “This thing actually looks rather familiar, but I can’t remember where I saw it.”
The two of them studied it for a long time; after which, Xia Fei decided to dismantle it.
This was a very risky move, for the White Flamingo was extremely advanced. If Xia Fei took it apart, he may be unable to put it back together, which meant that he would be practically destroying it for good with any wrong move.
Xia Fei had always been an extremely curious person, viewing the world with a suspicious gaze. When he saw something that he did not understand, he would become determined to get to the bottom of it. Thus, even though it was very risky, Xia Fei still decided to take apart the mysterious White Flamingo and see what was inside it.
…
*Pa!*
Xia Fei’s fingertips held a hair-thin set of mechanical forceps. Xia Fei slightly twitched his fingers, and the forceps cleanly snipped a circuit in the white bird.
As the forceps were put away, Xia Fei and Radix appeared rather proud. Radix nodded and said, “You’re really something else, discovering such a tiny circuit. More importantly, with this circuit removed, the White Flamingo will still be running just fine. It’s clear that this circuit didn’t do anything.”
Xia Fei exhaled in relief. “It’s very strange for such a complicated machine to have a useless circuit. Whatever it did, I could only rest easy now that I’ve destroyed it. If I’m still being chased down after this, then I really don’t know what to say.”
…
Xia Fei was feeling very smug, for he had finally understood a part of the White Flamingo’s structure and cut out a circuit that he considered useless.
At the same time, in a distant region of space, the three Skywing Law Gods could not bring themselves to be happy at all.
“It’s over! It’s over! I don’t know what set Xia Fei off, but he cut out the tracking circuit in the White Flamingo! This really wasn’t the place to use his smarts! Why would he even touch the White Flamingo in the first place?! The three of us can’t follow him anymore, and he’ll have to face any challenges alone from here on!” Xia Jing covered his head as he groaned, the veins on his forehead bulging.
