Chapter 719: The Xia family’s third Law Overlord!
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
Law Overlord White Ward had been slain in battle!
He had died under the Wing Slaughter Formation of the Skywing Clan!
The Moonward Clan’s Law Emperor had shock written on their faces. None of them could believe that these madmen from the Skywing would be able to send their patriarch to hell in the time it took to take a breath!
It had to be understood that White Ward was a Law Overlord, comparable to the Skywing Clan’s strongest Law Overlord, Xia Buyun!
The Skywings were extremely abnormal in the legends, brainless and courageous madmen, but anyone who believed in those legends would have to pay a gruesome price, for reality had now proven that the Skywings were ‘the Skywings’! They were not only skilled in battle but also in utilizing the power of teamwork!
‘Never abandon! Never give up!’ was the creed that the Skywing Clan had once more displayed through its incomparable power! At this moment, they were like savage wolves, circling around the Moonward Clan elites and staring at them with sharp eyes. If they were given the slightest chance, this pack of wolves would lunge! Using their extraordinary speed, they would instantly destroy all their prey!
The Moonward Clan warriors were on the verge of going mad!
Death was scary, but even more frightening was the fear of dying at any moment!
It engulfed the Moon Reaching House like a dark cloud, thick and lingering!
Xia Fei did his best to learn, trying to mix into the fighting order of the Skywing Clan; alas, he had spent too little time with these infamous madmen of the Law Realm and could not develop that level of tacit coordination.
“Awooo!”
A frenzied howl!
A fat and large figure arrived in the blink of an eye. He was 1.7 meters tall and weighed more than three hundred kilograms! He was Xia Zhiyuan, the Skywing warrior who White Ward had badly injured just one minute ago!
It was hard to imagine a man so fat that he was practically a ball could possess the ability to move hundreds of thousands of meters per second. That his body could move as nimbly as a swallow was even more absurd!
His body was tightly covered in bandages and his complexion was still rather pale. After all, taking the heavy blow of a Law Overlord was no joke.
After receiving emergency treatment from the medical team in the Galewind Garden, Xia Zhiyuan returned to the field and stood together with his Skywing comrades, his eyes just as resolved as ever.
There were no extraneous comments, and people did not even pay him much of a glance. It was as if getting injured, treating the injury, and returning to battle was normal procedure for the Skywing Clan, even though Xia Zhiyuan sustained injuries after putting his life on the line to stop White Ward and protect his clansmen.
Xia Zhiyuan had no complaints. He quietly assumed his position. Even if he had not used his body to lunge out and blocked Law Overlord White Ward, another member of the clan would have done so!
This sort of unity that cared not for death was frightening to behold!
As long as their lives did not end and as long as they still drew breath, the Skywing warriors would never stop fighting. They would always return to the battlefield to stand alongside their brothers!
The men of the Skywing Clan could only die on the battlefield!
Xia Fei gritted his teeth and looked away. He was gradually beginning to understand what sort of group this was and how they fought!
*Whoosh! Whoosh!*
The offensive restarted!
A Moonward Clan Law Emperor on the outer edge suddenly staggered, his body slightly leaning forward. The Skywing warriors immediately seized this brief chance! Several Law Emperors lunged! The flanking attack from three men pulled this warrior out of the group, and then the savage wolves tore him to shreds!
From the attack to the withdrawal, only one second passed!
Impressive teamwork, combined with incredible speed and a sharp combat intuition, had made the Skywing warriors exceptionally frightening. They could not be given a single chance, not even one that was only one-one-thousand of a second, for they would always seize it!
This simply was not a fair fight!
The Moonward Clan had been suppressed from the very start! Not only had the Plum Garden been flattened, the Moon Reaching House was also under attack! This group of Law Emperors and above were surrounded!
Another minute passed. During which, the Skywing warriors attacked three times and succeeded each time! They had taken the lives of three Law Emperors of the Moonward Clan yet had not lost a single person on their side.
Golcen Ward coldly watched all this transpire, his gaze grim.
He held his hands behind his back, his fingers constantly playing around with a small machine. It seemed like he was communicating with someone? Golcen Ward seemed not to see his clan warriors being slain, but his insidious eyes grew colder and colder.
...
Xia Fei was stunned, muttering, “The Moonward Clan shouldn’t have just this strength. This situation is very clear. The Skywings and their wolfpack tactics have suppressed the Moonward Clan warriors. With the advantage the Skywings have in speed, the Moonward Clan has a hard time being effective with their attacks, and the Skywings have managed to hold down and surround their numerically superior enemy. This is like a swamp. If the Moonward Clan doesn’t use all its strength, it will sink deeper and deeper until it can’t pull itself out!
“Something’s wrong! Very wrong! Ulcen Ward and Golcen Ward have no reason to just sit around and not counterattack. Why are they so composed?!”
Oro nodded. “You’re right. The Moonward Clan is clearly disadvantaged. Their only hope is expanding the scale of the war and using the advantage in numbers, as well as the complicated terrain of White Horse Constellation, to fight against the Skywings. After all, several dozen powerful clans live in White Horse Constellation, so once the scale of the war expands, someone else will likely intervene. Guarding the Moon Reaching House is clearly a dead end!”
Xia Fei’s brows furrowed. Xia Buyun, the current Skywing patriarch, was standing next to Xia Fei. Perhaps because he found Xia Fei too slow, the patriarch had pulled him over to be with him.
Xia Fei went over and told Xia Buyun his thoughts.
Xia Buyun shot him a weird look, one brimming with admiration.
A wicked smile appeared on his lips as Xia Buyun softly said, “I know. The Moonwards are waiting for reinforcements.”
“Reinforcements? The Moonward Clan has already mobilized forty-six Law Emperors and three Law Overlords, yet the clan still has people to send as reinforcements? That’s too absurd! Is this the true power of the Nine Great Clans?” Xia Fei was shaken, and at the same time, he felt admiration for the decisive way in which the Skywings handled problems. They clearly understood that the Moonward Clan had a back-up plan, but the craziest madmen of the Law Realm had still charged into the fray! This required tremendous courage!
“Your analysis and judgment are correct, but you underestimate us, Skywings!” Xia Buyun’s gaze slightly chilled as he smiled. “Our clan has killed countless people in the Law Realm and has countless enemies. We haven’t been able to remain standing purely by luck. You’ve just returned to the clan, so there’s still much that you don’t know. You can’t be blamed for this. There’s a lot that you’ll have to learn in the future. You are very smart, and I look forward to seeing how you will do.”
For some reason, Xia Fei’s eyes suddenly turned red. Xia Buyun’s words carried a sense of concern and care. There was no need for any other proof, as the Skywings’ willingness to attack one of the Nine Great Clans for an ordinary member of their clan was the best proof possible!
‘Never abandon! Never give up!’ The Skywings used their actions to prove that the clan’s promises were not empty words!
Xia Fei had no time to digest his emotions. Suddenly, the composed face of Golcen Ward changed!
That confident and breezy smile instantly vanished! It was replaced by anger and fear! His entire body fiercely shivered!
No one knew what had happened! Even the death of White Ward had not caused Golcen Ward to panic this much! He had been watching this entire time, watching as the Moon Reaching House was surrounded, watching as his elites were torn to shreds by the vicious Skywing wolves! It was like none of this had anything to do with him. He was confident and self-assured, like he had transcended the battlefield!
He raised a trembling right hand and pointed at Xia Buyun, his teeth clenched and his eyes round. He was unable to say a single word!
“Brother, what’s wrong?” Ulcen Ward asked in panic.
“We’ve fallen for a trap! Skywings—such treachery!” Golcen Ward roared in anger, his eyes almost bursting out of their sockets!
“Hmph!” Xia Buyun coldly snorted. He raised a finger, his eyes blood-red!
“Don’t think that only you Moonwards know how to scheme! We’re just using your methods against you!”
“Skywings, listen up!”
“Present!” the Skywing wolves shouted in unison.
“Within one minute, flatten Cherry Garden!” Xia Buyun bellowed!
Arrogant!
Incomparably arrogant!
This was the Moonward Clan, one of the Nine Great Clans, and the Skywings wanted to flatten it within one minute!
“Awoooo!”
The signal for the all-out offensive had begun, and the aura of the Skywing warriors suddenly changed!
Before, they had been like wolves playing around with their entrapped prey, but now, they were like savage devils!
Savage flames erupted and only blood could quench them!
...
The Galewind Garden, the Skywing Clan’s residence in White Horse Constellation.
Blood!
Countless rivers of blood painted the entire Galewind Garden red!
Corpses!
Innumerable corpses piled up in mountains!
When Xia Buyun issued the order for the all-out offensive, a silver-haired elder holding a three-pointed blade stood in front of the Galewind Garden’s entrance, his body exuding the aura of a god of slaughter! He would tear apart any enemy who dared to intrude into the Galewind Garden! He would protect the Skywing Clan!
His body was covered in blood! Fat splotches of blood painted red his armor, dyeing his white hair!
His eyes were wide open, and boundless murderous energy surged out of his elder body, engulfing the sky over the Wind Garden!
Everyone was familiar with this elder. He was called Xia Wu, and he was the Skywing Clan’s old caretaker. He had been managing the Galewind Garden for hundreds of years, serving Xia Buyun and the two patriarchs before Xia Buyun.
Everyone only knew Old Xia Wu by his appearance. He was a lonely, old man who held a broom, moving slowly as he swept the vast Galewind Garden while occasionally coughing. This was clearly a doddering old man.
He had always been rather amiable, and the neighborhood children would often dance around Old Xia Wu, pull on his silver beard, and ask him for candy.
No one in the neighborhood could remember Xia Wu getting mad at anyone, let alone killing someone.
However, today, Old Xia Wu struck, taking several thousand lives in one go!
Like the guardian god of the Skywing Clan, Old Xia Wu stood guard at the front gate of the Wind Garden, utterly immovable.
Blood flowed down his body and dripped to the ground, but Old Xia Wu felt nothing.
Trying to get around Xia Buyun and attack the Skywings’ main base, one would first have to see if that three-pointed blade in Xia Wu’s hand agreed!
He was the Skywing Clan’s trump card, the clan’s last bulwark!
The Xia Clan’s third Law Overlord!
