1549 The Might of the Skywings!

Fighting with everyone?

Xia Di had replied so calmly that Xia Fan could not help but suspect that his hearing was off. Nevertheless, he hurried through the Waystation. When he arrived at the main hall with a huge arched skylight above, he promptly realized that Xia Di was not lying. It was just that Xia Di was used to such scenes since he was younger that he could still remain calm, despite only being seven years of age.

Xia Di’s father, Xia Geng, was a passionate old man. When facing a battle against thousands of elite warriors from the Celestial Path, he was still proud and holding his head up high with confidence.

Xia Fan’s appearance made the people of the Skywing Clan even more excited. It was a pity that a fight was about to break out, so it was not suitable for them to talk. Everyone merely walked by and lightly patted Xia Fan on his shoulder, with some even telling Xia Fan that he looked a lot like his father.

There were very few people in this Skywing team, between fifty and sixty of them. A third of them were from the Skywing Clan, while the rest were their followers. They hailed from all over the Great Chiliocosm, from different races and creeds. Xia Fan even saw two Water Elementals from the legends, their bodies made up entirely of blue water, able to take any form or shape. When these Water Elementals hugged Xia Fan, their bodies glowed slightly; Bright Pearl told him it was because they were thrilled to meet him.

Water Elementals were very easily excited. They would be moved to tears whenever they heard someone play music, and would also tear up whenever they saw any injured small animals. They would also shed tears in their excitement as they slew evil enemies, making it such that people would say that the basic nature of Water Elementals was not water, but Nature’s Tears.

Tamu was somewhat disappointed, as he did not see anyone of his people, and Bright Pearl had only met a little fire dragon called Flaming Swallow. She was a daughter of the Red Megadragon, and so could be considered to be one of Pearl’s nieces. She had a head of fiery red hair when she turned into her human form. Compared to Pearl, who preferred to appear as a little girl, Swallow favored a more graceful and womanly form, even though she was much younger in age than Pearl.

Xia Yu was the other elder in the team. He called Xia Fan to his side so he could give him a big hug. He then proceeded to tell Xia Fan, “We might need to kill these people later. Since you’ve just returned and aren’t familiar with the Skywing’s Wolfpack Formation, it’s best if you stay on the periphery and reinforce us.”

Xia Yu lightly ruffled Xia Fan’s hair after he said that, his eyes filled with encouragement.

As expected, the conversation between Xia Geng and the other party had fallen through. Wearing a suit of golden armor, a masked expert glared and barked disdainfully, “The days of you Skywings running rampantly across the Great Chiliocosm are over! You still wish to stir up trouble with the handful of people you have here? Forget about it!”

“You wish to know where Xia Fei has gone to? Well, I just won’t tell you, what can you do about it?!”

The man in the golden armor was called Chu Linglong, hailing from the Precious Gem Universe. He was the leader of the Pocket Terrans of the Great Chiliocosm. Though he looked big and mighty in his golden armor, the armor itself was actually fully mechanical, and the actual size of Chu Linglong was no bigger than an adult’s fist. However, the Pocket Terrans were great with mechatronics and machinery, able to create armored suits such that Pocket Terrans reached the size of an average human after donning one, while the suit also granted them unbelievable strength and speed.

When Chu Linglong had heard that a warship bearing the insignia of the Skywings had docked, and that it was a Flicker-class of the Fey, he had been extremely nervous, afraid that it would be the Skywings coming with a huge army.

But when he saw that it was just Xia Fan and three others, Chu Linglong was greatly disappointed. He also became arrogant, believing that since the Skywing’s main force was already gone, there was no way Xia Geng could make any impact with the few people on their side, so he had became even more unscrupulous.

“Hahahahaha!” The moment Chu Linglong said his piece, he heard the warriors of Skywing burst into raucous laughter, as if they had all just heard a hilarious joke. All of them wore calm expressions on their faces, not a one showing a hint of fear or weakness in the face of the thousands of the strongest warriors from the Celestial Path gathered here!

“You ask what I can do to you?” Xia Geng shook his head slightly. Suddenly, he raised his right arm and hollered with his hoarse voice, “Skywing’s business, those uninvolved can scram!”

Accompanying Xia Geng were the voices of nearly sixty Skywing warriors. This cry of theirs echoed across the entire Waystation, a shout laced with killing intent!

The color drained from everyone uninvolved present. Plenty of the warriors who had been watching this confrontation swiftly retreated with bewildered eyes.

Those familiar with the Skywings knew that when they told those uninvolved to scram, that was their ultimatum. The meaning was simple: if anyone did not wish to make enemies out of the Skywings, then they better get away as far as possible, as any who chose to stay would be slain!

The famous Wolfpack Formation was already in position. The Skywing clansmen among them were at the forefront, their bodies tense and ready, while their other followers took up the rear.

“Hand him over! Another word out of your lips and we’ll start killing!” Xia Geng shouted coldly, a ferocious glint in his eyes.

Such an incredible scene of not even sixty men from Skywing, threatening an enemy that was more than ten times their numbers!

The entire hall was silent. Everyone’s hearts were beating wildly in their chests, they could feel their chest tightening from the stifling atmosphere.

“How unreasonable can you people get?! This is someone of ours, why should we hand him over to you?!” Chu Linglong was livid, protesting loudly, as if attempting to speak reason to the Skywings.

But he was mistaken. The Skywings were never the sort to reason with their enemies!

The moment he said those few words, Xia Geng had dropped his raised hand and a score of shadows darted out with explosive speed. In a blink of an eye, they made it into the opposing crowd and promptly slashed about freely with their weapons.

*shing*

*Sprack*

Heads rolled, and that was when Chu Linglong recalled Xia Geng’s demand: Hand him over immediately, and not another word! Unfortunately for him, he had chosen to waste time on words, which gave the Skywings their chance to strike!

Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha were absolutely dumbfounded. The seven-year-old Xia Di was like a little tiger, shuttling nimbly about the enemy. They had no idea when a short sword had appeared in his hand, but he was quickly stabbing into the chests of enemies with great precision. In just a brief moment, the Skywing Wolfpack tore a bloody gash through the enemy, and were now in the middle of the enemy formation.

Xia Geng made a simple wave of his hand, and everyone turned around and charged toward where Chu Linglong was standing, leaving a trail of bodies and blood behind.

“Awesome! Kill them! Kill them all! Now this is what I call a real battle!” Bright Pearl roared as she turned into a dragon, her eyes red from the excitement, abandoning the image of a lady as she let out her frost breath at the enemy.

“I’ve finally returned to my comrades’ side!” Tamu was practically in tears. He had withstood so much pain and suffering, but he could not withstand the loneliness he had felt when he was no longer beside the Skywings. Now that he was now standing side-by-side with his comrade-in-arms once again, Tamu was now wild with emotion.

This display of might was not fake.

When a group of speed demons displayed their might at the same time, the absolute strength shown was enough to destroy everything in their path. In a matter of seconds, the Skywing Wolfpack had killed their way into the center of thousands of enemies, leaving hundreds of bodies in their wake.

Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha were astonished at the ferocity of the Skywings. Not a single one had fallen behind or was out of formation throughout this assault, nor did any of them reveal even a hint of fear. It was like they showed no hesitation in making an enemy out of everyone as they killed their way through the enemy lines!

“Stop! All of you, stop!” an old wizen voice thundered. It belonged to the Pocket Terran’s old patriarch Chu Tianlong, father of Chu Linglong. The moment he saw how bad the situation had turned out, he hurriedly came running up and shouted out, hoping to prevent the Skywings from continuing with their massacre.

Sure enough, the Skywings halted, but Chu Tianlong was too late. His son had already collapsed in a pool of his own blood, a small corpse laying in a broken helmet. He was only the size of an adult’s fist, which left Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha speechless.

Chu Tianlong was trembling with emotions as he gazed at the body of his son. His head was lowered, as he said feebly, “No more fighting. We admit defeat. We’ll hand him over.”

“IF this was going to be the result, then why bother resisting?” Traveling Buddha lamented.

Xia Fan would never forget that scene, as he had watched a figure dart over. It was Xia Yu, and he arrived right by Chu Tianlong’s side and killed him with a single stroke of his blade!

“Admitting defeat isn’t something for you to say! It all depends on whether we agree to it or not!” Xia Yu declared loudly. Several minutes ago, he had been ruffling Xia Fan’s hair like a kindly elder, but now he was domineering to the extreme, acting like a god of death.

“He actually killed him…” Traveling Buddha’s mouth hung agape, an incredulous expression on his face. The Little Old Buddha was someone who had seen plenty of the world, yet the Skywings surpassed every possible experience he’d had. Was surrendering not even allowed once the battle began? This type of behavior was completely beyond anything Traveling Buddha had pictured in his mind.

*Sprack*

*Squelch*

The massacre continued, as Xia Geng led everyone to slay everyone that they were unhappy with, and then randomly picked out one of the pale-faced men from the Pocket Terran species.

“From today onward, you are the patriarch of the Pocket Terrans! Now bring me to him!” Xia Geng said with a grim and sinister face.

The man that had been chosen nodded vigorously, as Xia Geng told everyone else, “Alright, the rest of you are free to go.”

With that, Xia Geng followed that person down to the deeper levels of the Waystation, while Xia Di leapt up to the second level, wrapping his legs easily around the railing as he took out his piccolo and began playing it.

Xia Di was also quite gifted, as he had inherited the music genes of his father. Xia Geng’s music was like a sonata, hormonal and passionate, while Xia Di’s music was more ethereal, with a taste of nature.

“You will slowly get used to it from here on,” Xia Yu shrugged as he arrived at Xia Fan’s side. “Everyone’s quite busy, and none of us are the sort that care for superfluous words. If anyone’s dissatisfied, we just kill them!”

Xia Fan nodded slightly. Though he had heard plenty of tales about his clan from Bright Pearl, he was still very shocked to witness it first hand.

Traveling Buddha’s eyes glinted, very impressed with the Skywings’ sharpness. He went over to the crowd to introduce himself, and everyone treated him warmly, seeing that he was a comrade Xia Fan had brought with him.

“Come, let me introduce you to everyone.”

Xia Yu brought Xia Fan into the crowd and introduced him to everyone. Blood and corpses were under their feet, but no one seemed to care, chatting freely as if nothing was wrong, even as everyone around them looked on with fearful eyes.

The two Water Elementals were brothers. The elder brother was called Moon in Water, while the younger brother was called Star in Water. Their world had been destroyed by the Darkness, and the Skywings had adopted the two orphans, raising them up as their own. When talking about their past, these two creatures that were sentimental by nature would cry bitterly, tears rolling down their eyes that would be absorbed back into their bodies, repeating the process like falling rain.

In any case, this was a strange group of people. They came from all over, each with different personalities and temperaments. Even their dietary preferences were different. Some enjoyed their meat raw, while others preferred sweet treats. However, this disparate group of people all lived in harmony and were comrades with one another under the banner of the Skywings.

“The biggest rule we have is that we have no rules,” Xia Yu explained. “Aside from when we fight, everyone can freely do whatever they want with what time they have.”

Xia Fan chatted with his new comrades, and heard plenty of interesting stories.

It was not long before Xia Geng returned with someone in his hand, who was none other than the prophet of the Pocket Terrans!
