<h4>Chapter 1141: The Fufeng n</h4>
“Who are you people? To think that you dared to make a move against the Fufeng n’s Colorless Sky Cow?!” That warrior raised one hand to Wistplume and coldly asked this.
Wistplume yelled her response almost immediately. “This olddy doesn’t care who you are! In any case, I’m going to take the head of this exotic beast andplete my task! If you dare to get in my way, then you shall die at this olddy’s hands!”
Wistplume acted very domineeringly, assuming seniority by calling herself an olddy while speaking in an uncouth manner. That person from the Fufeng n had actually been piqued when he heard her; Xia Fei could even tell that the person’s graceful and fair face had already turned purple!
Radix noticed how thrilled Xia Fei had gotten; he even muttered, “A talent! To think that there’d be a person of such caliber in the Aurora n!”
Radix was unamused. Xia Fei would apparently only be satisfied if every member of the Aurora n was like Wistplume.
At the end of the day, the Aurora n was a legacy n that had thousands of years of history. Its great reputation had always been geared more toward knowledge and wisdom, so if everyone became as barbaric and unreasonable as Wistplume, just how would they give an ount to their ancestors?
Minute chemical reaction abruptly took ce the moment Wistplume began using foulnguage, and the four warriors beside her pulled out their own weapons without missing a beat and positioned themselves around Wistplume; as long as she gave the order, these men would pounce on their enemy without hesitation.
“That’s strange. Wistplume is behaving so savagely; why are these nsmen of hers still protecting her?” Radix asked, puzzled.
Xia Fei chuckled. “That’s what it means to have charisma. Just moments ago, Wistplume sacrificed her arm to save herrade, and everyone saw that. Their hearts have already beenpletely convinced by her action. This is what it was like to devote themselves willingly to their confidant. Hot-bloodedness is the very lifeblood of warriors. It’s just that the Aurora n has focused its studies on civility and education, burying the hot-bloodedness of its warriors, but some things can’t be hidden away forever. When given the right opportunity, these warriors’ inert hotbloodedness will surely resurface.”
Hearing Xia Fei’s words, Radix felt that it made a lot of sense. Xia Fei had never asked to be a leader, but everyone gradually epted him as one precisely because Xia Fei was good to his people, and he was willing to put his life on the line for them! All these various benefits far outweighed the brutality he showed toward his enemy.
This was why, even with Xia Fei’s extreme personality, most people were willing to ept him. After all, his crazy side would only be shown to his enemies, and this was what made Wistplume very alike to Xia Fei.
“Remember: My name is Feng Jianbo, and this is the Fufeng n’s territory! I’m going to kill all of you now in the name of my n!” Young Master Jianbo of Fufeng n dered grimly.
“Fufeng?! ‘Facing copse, the wind shall assist’, that Fufeng n?!”
The Aurora warriors began to waver, but while they had been affected by mention of the Fufeng name, Wistplume showed no change. She was still ring at Feng Jianbo. Of course, theck of expression could also be due to Wistplume’s face being too ck to notice any difference in the first ce.
Xia Fei had checked the data on the Fufeng n before. Whereas the Aurora n was part of Chaos Society, Fufeng n belonged to a major organization called The Grandme.
Apparently, the various major forces of the Alpha Universe had broken apart and even gone to wage a devastating war against one another. Because The Grandme’s power was insufficient, they had nearly been wiped out by the others. However, right at the critical juncture, the originally independent Fufeng n joined The Grandme, and they survived the catastrophic war, which hadsted thousands of years.
As such, the saying ‘Facing copse, the wind shall assist’ came to be. This ascribed to how the Fufeng n had aided in The Grandme’s continued survival.
In the Alpha Universe, the Fufengs were not considered a top-rate n and were still a little ways offpared to major ns such as the Venus of Eternal Night, but their reputation preceded them, far more so than the humble Aurora gentlemen.
This was why when Feng Jianbo shouted his family name, the Aurorean all began to hesitate. After all, in terms of strength, the Fufengs could be considered giants, while the Aurorean, who had always been taught to be kind to others, forget about offending powerful entities like the Fufengs, they might not even be allowed to harm a passing kitten or a puppy.
Unfortunately, these warriors were out with Xia Fei right now. Never in their wildest imagination did they imagine that they were actually in the Fufeng n’s territory! Xia Fei had misled them into joining him in his raid of the Fufeng n!
“Wistplume, what do we do now?” an Aurorean asked.
“What else can we do? Aplish our task, of course. No need to think about anything else!” Wistplume ordered.
Just as those words left her lips, Feng Jianbo made a sudden assault. He could already tell that Wistplume was the leader of these men, so as long as he could get rid of the loudmouthed woman, the others would naturally scatter. Though Feng Jianbo had revealed his identity, he was still afraid of going up against the enemy with their numerical superiority, afraid that he might be unable to deal with them all.
*Whoosh*
With a lift of his palm, a sneaky light shot out from Feng Jianbo’s wrist and flew straight at Wistplume.
The speed of this move was so quick that Wistplume had hardly been able to take any precaution against it.
This was when Xia Fei came rushing from the side. With a lithe step, he sessfully tugged Wistplume to the left, so that light merely tore her armor, only scratching herrge frame as it passed.
“That was close!” Wistplume gasped in shock. She pointed at Feng Jianbo’s face and chided, “To think you’d call yourself a Fufeng nsman. You actually employed such despicable means like a sneak attack!”
Xia Fei could not help but shake his head. Though Wistplume was much stronger than the other Aurorean, the influence of the n on her was still deep, actually having the notion thatbat must be clean and fair.
“No need to reprimand him. He’s already dead,” Xia Fei replied nonchntly.
“Dead?!”
“How’s it possible?!”
“I didn’t see anyone make any move at all!”
This was when, under everyone’s astonished gazes, Feng Jianbo’s body split right down the middle. The fiendish de Nirvana, controlled by Radix, was behind him. Meanwhile, the Colorless Sky Cow looked like it had died, too, after Furball took a huge bite out of its neck.
Everyone was bbergasted. Just what an awesome disy of crazy speed, both in action and movement, that was! Their attention had been drawnpletely to Xia Fei saving Wistplume that none of them had seen Nirvana and Furball execute their sneak attacks!
Just as Feng Jianbounched a sneak attack on Wistplume, Xia Fei actuallyunched his sneak attack on Feng Jianbo. Everyone only saw the result, but the entire process was aplete mystery!
“Remember: This is what a real sneak attack looks like,” Xia Fei faced these dumbfounded warriors and said genially as he lit a cigarette.
...
Very soon, the people who had been left at the Silver Specter arrived at the scene.
Those warriors who had managed to escape from Feng Jianbo’s clutches described animatedly how Xia Fei finished off the enemy like a ghost, to the point that none of them saw how he had done it.
“Well, none of these people were originally too convinced, but after what you did, I’m sure that no one will ever underestimate you from today on,” Fuchen said.
...
Xia Feiughed. “Actually, assassination techniques were what I learned when I first started down the warrior’s path. It’s just that the level of fights I get into and the adversaries I face as I progress higher and higher also be stronger and stronger. Sneak attacks like these have be much harder to execute, which is why I no longer resort to such things nowadays.
“Today, I guess that that person who went by the name of Feng Jianbo got unlucky. The most dangerous isn’t the enemy in front but rather the one unseen. The most dangerous opening isn’t when waiting in cover, but the moment when someone attacks. This young man was clearly an amateur; any true killer will always leave themselves a means of escape when attempting a sneak attack. He failed to do just that, so he lost his life as a result.”
Fuchen and n nodded. Xia Fei, who was considered an expert when it came to assassination, was the most adept at grasping the perfect timing. No matter how insignificant a w was, the moment Xia Fei could identify it, he would be sure to fatally exploit it.
Xia Fei waved his hand to call Wistplume to his side and gave her some medication for treating her wounds. She looked rather sullen because she would have fallen prey to Feng Jianbo’s assassination had Xia Fei not intervened moments ago, and this thought sat unpleasantly in her mind.
“You performed well today. You saved yourrade at a critical moment, and you did not back down an inch even in the face of a strong foe. These are all very rare traits,” Xia Feimended.
However, he quickly changed the line of conversation. “Still, you must remember: It is not the gant who will always emerge victorious on the battlefield. Sneak attacks and schemes, as long as they can be employed, there won’t be problems with resorting to them. Just because you don’t sneak attack your opponent doesn’t mean that they won’t.”
Xia Fei was a measured man. He naturally had no wish to suppress a talent like Wistplume. Given the natural wildness inside her, he firmly believed that she could be a decent warrior if she was given the chance to experience morebat.
“I n to let Wistplume be in charge of these warriors,” Xia Fei said as he watched her leave.
Fuchenughed. “You’ve got quite the eye. That woman’s far stronger than most of the men in the Aurora n and at the least isn’t hypocritical.”
Radix was slightly taken aback as he hesitantly mentioned, “I heard that Wistplume does not have too good an origin. Don’t you think that letting her takemand is kinda appropriate?”
Xia Fei rolled his eyes at Radix, disregarding hisment. “Who cares about her origin? I’ve seen plenty of people of good origin who aren’t any better. I wouldn’t bother to use her if it were just her background.”
Xia Fei had always been opposed to the belief that a person’s pedigree dictated their sess as a warrior. To him, being a warrior had nothing to do with one’s heart and mind. What truly mattered was whether they were crazy or vicious enough! It could not be helped, for only the most paranoid and the craziest had the hope of living long in this universe. Those who usually died were just not crazy enough.
This was when Furball came running to Xia Fei with that strange beast in his mouth, fawning over at him. This pet was too cunning. He used his body to rub on Xia Fei’s calf, then ced his prey on the ground, and looked pitifully at Xia Fei, acting all cute. It was as if he wanted to be rewarded.
Furball had learned early on that Xia Fei responded better to cation rather than coercion. It could not be helped, for Xia Fei was the unreasonable sort; Furball would end up being kicked aside if he acted too desperately, but if he instead acted pitiful, Xia Fei would be helpless toward his demands.
“Fine, I get it.” Xia Fei smiled as he patted Furball’s head.
He picked up that Colorless Sky Cow from the ground and said, “This is definitely not an exotic beast, but it doesn’t seem like a Divine Beast, either. Any of you recognize this thing?”
Fuchen and n stared at it for a good long while, and then astonishment appeared on their faces.
Fuchen asked, “That thing’s anything but simple. How did you end up killing it?”
“It’s an enemy,” Xia Fei stated matter-of-factly. In his mind, the word ‘enemy’ exined everything. Any enemy that crossed his path could only die.
n stroked his chin. “What a strange beast. It looked very high level, and its brain was developed enough. Wait… Look!”
Xia Fei looked at where n was pointing and saw a miniscule bite mark left on the Colorless Sky Cow’s neck, exactly where Furball had bitten it.
Furball normally had no teeth, but when it was enraged, a row of diamond-hard teeth would grow on its mouth.
Xia Fei was well aware that when Furball went wild, his teeth were more than capable of biting through steel! Nothing could resist his biting force!
However, the skin of this Colorless Skycow was actually even tougher, able to withstand the full force of Furball’s bite, leaving just the slightest trace of teeth imprint! Just how tough was its skin?!
While the three of them were feeling astounded by what they had just discovered, someone reported that they had spotted a cave.
“A cave? What’s so shocking about that?” Xia Fei thought nothing of it. “Who knew how many hundreds and thousands of caves there are on a? There’s nothing surprising about it.”
“No, this cave is very strange. It seems to be a cultivation spot of the Fufeng n”
