Chapter 1286: Fengyu of the Thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons!

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

Several days prior, the Alpha Universe, near the Cosmic Gate leading to the Undercurrent.

There was a small planet called Southstream. Together with its companion, Northstream, they formed the only thriving star system near the Cosmic Gate.

No one could have imagined that the thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons, who had betrayed the Annihilation Universe, were gathered in Southstream, in an unremarkable small hotel.

They were dressed like businessmen, appearing no different from other travelers, as they went in and out of the hotel.

The more dangerous the region, the greater the profit from trade. Nearly half of the population of Southstream was either businessmen or merchants hailing from other regions. The thirteen Dragoons did not stand out at all in the middle of them.

The thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons had booked an entire floor of the hotel. At this time, they were gathered in the room of their captain, Yabu, sitting around in a circle. Sunlight was streaming in from a small window, filling the room with warmth.

“Nan Shazi still needs at least ten days to prepare. In this time, you can go wherever you want, but remember that only by being inconspicuous can you survive.” Yabu lowered his head and spoke in a stern voice.

The thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons came from various different sapient races. Yabu was a typical Alpha human. Before Xia Fei, a total of three humans had been recruited from Alpha into the Devil Shadow Dragoons, and Yabu was one of them; in fact, he was the best of them.

His deputies, Dallas and Tinghai, were both from the Annihilator Universe. The fact that the two were born in a higher universe compared to Yabu but were still ranked below him was proof of the man’s strength. Notably, none of the thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons objected. Even the most ill-tempered one, Tianku, did not dare to oppose Yabu.

Nodding, Tinghai, who was from the Crocodile Wheel Clan, said, “I’m still suspicious of whether Nan Shazi can be trusted or not. These Dark Spiritualists are quite sinister, and Nan Shazi’s also abnormally intelligent.”

Tinghai wore a black scarf, which covered his face below the eyes, so his voice came out as very soft and muffled. There was nothing to be done about that, for the Crocodile Wheel Clan had terrifying mouths, which were truly awful to behold. It was to the extent that Tinghai even wore the scarf while eating, bringing up the food from beneath the scarf. Fortunately, at his rank, there was not a lot of time when one needed to eat, as warriors mostly relied on energy to maintain themselves.

Yabu’s eyes chilled as he asked calmly, “Sinister? You think that he can deceive us?”

The Devil Shadow Dragoons all burst into laughter. Having remained concealed in the Annihilator for many years, the Devil Shadow Dragoons fully lived up to their title. Not only did they take the entire universe as their enemy, they had cleverly managed to hide themselves among the common folk.

“The Dark Spiritualists want to revive their lineage, and while they aren’t part of our circle, we truly do have a transactional relationship. Friendship, affection, and brotherhood are all nonsensical things. On the contrary, relationships based on transactions such as this are the sturdiest of all.”

Raising his head, Yabu looked to the youngest of the thirteen Dragoons. “Fengyu, you’ve suddenly grown very taciturn. Is there something troubling you? You might as well let it out. I know that you like women. There are plenty of them around; you can buy any and torture them with your methods if you want. I recall that that’s your favorite game.”

Everyone gave Fengyu a sinister smile. He was the youngest and most perverted of the thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons, with no fewer than ten thousand women dying at his hand every year. Moreover, he had a habit of always leaving behind corpses with their limbs cut off and reattached as though they were puppets.

Fengyu nodded silently and said nothing.

After giving his orders, Yabu dismissed everyone. Not only Xia Fei, even Yabu understood the principle that the most dangerous place was often the safest, and this was why he had so boldly allowed his subordinates to go outside.

Fengyu silently left the hotel, the chubby Tianku trailing after him.

At the entrance, Fengyu suddenly stopped and turned around. “What’re you following me for?”

Tianku waved his hands, a wicked look on his face as he replied, “Relax. I’m not going with you. I have no interest in that awful habit of yours of torturing women.”

Fengyu said, “Don’t forget what Yabu said: No one is allowed to go and make trouble with Xia Fei, for it may ruin the plan.”

Tianku’s face turned cold. His right hand was covered in a bandage, a wound left behind when Xia Fei detonated the Dark Gem Spirit-gathering Tower. It was on that day that the thirteen Devil Shadow Dragoons learned of Xia Fei’s name—a young man with very insidious methods, and it was also from then on that Tianku had become obsessed with killing Xia Fei!

“No need. Once we take care of the Undercurrent, it will be Wild Glacier’s turn. I know that Xia Fei, along with his entire clan, lives there. I’ll wait until that moment!”

Tianku threw these words out with a grim look on his face before turning and leaving.

Fengyu shook his head and looked up at the sky, muttering, “You can wait, but I can’t.”

Fengyu’s face turned savage. This was when a strange stone appeared in his hand.

It was triangular, like a pyramid and the tips sharp. It shone like a jewel.

The Skydestroyer Stone.

To be more precise, it was the Earth Elemental Immemorial Mystical Armament, the conglomeration of the Four Stones of the Southern Star.

The Immemorial Mystical Armaments were unfathomable and mysterious existences. When Xia Fei had completely integrated the Seven Plants of the Cloudsea, the other four Mystical Armaments had also integrated with their kind despite not having masters!

When the mystical armaments fused together, they needed a principle body.

The Seven Plants of the Cloudsea had used the unkillable weed, Peacock Blue, as their main body.

The Six Waters of Terror Genesis had used the Black Shell Spring.

The Four Stones of Southern Star had used the sharpest among them, the Skydestroyer Stone!

On that day, when Fengyu was busy setting up the soul array which would destroy the Cosmic Gate, he sensed Xia Fei’s existence.

That powerful pull had instantly created in Fengyu the desire to kill Xia Fei.

The Immemorial Mystical Armament seemed to inflict a sort of curse. They were extremely unwilling to see fusion take place. Back at the Collapsed Expanse of Founders, Shui Shengsheng, who had obtained the Water Elemental Mystical Armament, Terror Genesis, had sensed Xia Fei and had also gone straight to attacking him.

Although Shui Shengsheng died in the end, granting Xia Fei another Immemorial Mystical Armament, his resolve to fight him to the death still left Xia Fei feeling very apprehensive.

It was as though the mystical armament had hypnotized Shui Shenghseng, whom he had never met before, to loathe him completely.

It was akin to being put under a curse!

Xia Fei, who had obtained the Plant Elemental Mystical Armament, hoped to fuse all five, but this meant that the four other mystical armaments would all treat Xia Fei as a must-kill enemy, and the warriors they attached themselves to would think the same, throwing aside everything to attack him.

Xia Fei now had two mystical armaments. Once another Immemorial Mystical Armament got within a certain distance of him, they would create a terrifying resonance that would draw enemies to attack him.

If Fengyu had not been busy setting up the soul array and had Yabu been standing at his side, suppressing him, Fengyu would have definitely charged out then!

Alas, by the time Fengyu finished setting up the soul array and caused the beast flood, Xia Fei had already thrown a bomb and ran off, leaving Fengyu feeling very disappointed. His sinister self had become so taciturn at this point after spending all day thinking about how he should kill Xia Fei.

Today, Fengyu could no longer restrain himself. Since Yabu had given them free time, he fully intended to finish off his mortal foe!

*Whoosh!*

Fengyu quickly vanished among the crowd. There were no thoughts of torturing women on his mind; all he wanted was Xia Fei’s life.

…

“Where did those high-ranking exotic beasts run off to?” Xia Fei frowned as he muttered.

“Maybe there simply aren’t any. It’s been seven days, but there’s been no trace of any high-ranking exotic beasts,” Radix replied, shrugging.

Xia Fei shook his head. “That’s impossible. Holy Beasts are truly very rare among exotic beasts, but there are immense numbers of high-ranking exotic beasts. After all, these guys have an unparalleled reproductive capacity, not at all like Holy Beasts, which are unique and have to rely on reincarnation.

“Let’s be careful and not venture in too deeply. We just need to kill enough exotic beasts to be successful. There’s no need to wrangle with the higher-ranking exotic beasts.”

Radix nodded. “Relax. Xia Gucheng will have his own understanding of how to proceed. Besides, the Skywing wolfpack formation had gotten even more powerful after some adjustments, and it’s all thanks to you.

“In the past, the wolfpack formation was known for its speed and unpredictability; now, on top of possessing both those traits, it has incredible lethality! You didn’t see it, but Xia Gucheng’s group was once able to insta-kill more than thirty thousand exotic beasts. It’s several times more powerful compared to what it’s like in the past!”

Radix felt very ecstatic over the positive effects of Xia Fei’s modifications to the wolfpack formation. In the past, the formation, which had focused too much on variation, lacked offensive maneuvers. Xia Fei’s modifications had endowed the wolfpack formation with maximal explosive power. No longer were there an excessive number of feints in the formation’s attacks; rather, each move was lethal!

…

In a place very far from the spatial gate, Fengyu hid behind a drifting asteroid. From here, he could see Xia Guanghai patrolling around that small planet, constantly looking around.

Serving as Xia Fei’s sentry was actually pretty tough for Xia Guanghai. Unlike Xia Geng, he did not have the Law of Search, so he could only rely on his experience and senses. Seven days in a row of running around had him feeling very tired, but he still persisted. As Xia Gucheng’s group drew farther and farther away, Xia Guanghai knew that it would be difficult for the wolf pack to reinforce them in a timely manner, and Xia Fei would have to rely on his own strength.

Fengyu smiled sinisterly. He was not Shui Shengsheng, who threw aside everything the moment he discovered that Xia Fei had an Immemorial Mystical Armament.

Fengyu was a Devil Shadow Dragoon!

What did Devil Shadow Dragoons study?

Tactics!

The Fiend Clan was once the greatest of tacticians, and the Devil Shadow Dragoons rigorously trained and studied in the universe’s weirdest tactics just to get closer to the Fiend Clan.

Ever since he found Xia Fei, Fengyu had been patiently waiting.

He not only wanted Xia Fei’s life but also desired to execute him on the spot!

“It’s about time,” Fengyu muttered.

He opened his mouth slightly, and his Adam’s apple began to bob.

It was a very strange sight, for while it was clear that Fengyu was using his voice to transmit an order, his surroundings remained eerily silent.

*Whoosh!*

Suddenly, in the cave, Furball jumped up; even Little Goldie seemed to be in great pain. If Xia Fei were not with it, this demon chrysalis would really flee into dark space.

In the distance, a mass of beasts began to converge on Xia Fei’s planet.

No wonder the grand ancestor had not run into high-ranked exotic beasts. They were all right here!

This was Fengyu’s power!
