1628 Skywing Token, Broken just like That!

The battle had entered its most miserable stage.

As swarms of Demonized Demi-dragons joined the battle, the Holy Spring City’s side was at an absolute disadvantage.

No matter how domineering Icy Wind, Traveling Buddha, Dongfang He, and Jia Yuntian were as warriors, they ultimately had a hard time taking on the significantly more numerous foes. The enemy’s application of the numbers tactics slowly depleted everyone’s precious mental energy. As time passed, they would end up becoming so exhausted from overuse that they would have difficulties even using their special abilities. Death would be all that awaited them when that time came.

Nevertheless, Traveling Buddha could still tell that something was off with their enemies. It felt like the army had lost their commander. The tribal warriors were no longer crossing the moat in batches, but doing so chaotically.

!!

In a large-scale battle, disciplined orders were critical to victory. The disorderly tribal warriors were crowding up at the moat, dragging each other down as they tried to make their way across. Before they even made it across, a good third of them ended up drowned in the moat by their own people during the crossing.

If the enemy had a more efficient commander at the helm, that situation would definitely not have happened.

Furthermore, Traveling Buddha also discovered that a portion of the White Bone Regiment and Demi-dragons seemed to be answering another call, and were rapidly leaving the battlefield upon arrival.

In any case, it was an extremely chaotic battlefield. Yet even with all that disorganization, their enemy was still able to convincingly overwhelm Traveling Buddha and the others.

—

No longer having even an iota of strength left, Traveling Buddha leaned against the rubble around himself, panting heavily.

Traveling Buddha was the distinguished inheritor of the Holy Buddha Clan, but this time, he could really feel what it meant to be powerless. He had the will to keep killing, but his fatigue was so great that he could hardly lift his arm.

The end of the battle was in sight, enemies flooded over and had them surrounded once more.

Suddenly, a glaring white beam blasted out with such speed and so brightly it was like the Goddess of Light had come speeding over on an eight-legged horse!

The Demi-dragons let out indignant and angry roars. They were very sensitive to the mystical light, and all of them flapped their wings and turned their heads away, retreating into the darkness.

Then it was the White Bone Regiment, the undead warriors with their Bone Swords latched on their backs. They were also deathly afraid of that Light, giving up on the assault and turning back, jumping right into the moat and swimming for the other side. This scene of everyone scrambling to retreat left the defenders perplexed.

Only the tribal warriors remained unaffected. Though none of them were afraid of the Light, their combat strength was very miniscule. In a real fight, Traveling Buddha alone could slay them by the tens of thousands!

*Whoosh*

As a golden wing extended in the distance, Dongfang He and the others tightened their fists excitedly.

“Its Nikai! Nikai and Xia Fan are back!”

“But it’s strange, there seem to be two other people with Xia Fan!”

“Is that… Le Jiajia?…”

“No way, that demoness?”

“It should be her. The Light that caused the White Bone Regiment and Demi-dragons to scatter seems to be her doing!”

“Who cares if she’s a descendant of a Demon King or not. Le Jiajia I love you! I love you to death!” someone yelled his heart out, rejoicing after being saved from the brink of death.

Life was precious, and it was the only one people had. They were saved, which was better than just dying to monsters, even if it was a demoness that did the saving!

Instantly the atmosphere lifted. Under the leadership of the natural-born leader Dongfang He, what was obviously a band of humans that had been weakened greatly still managed to launch another wave of attacks, eliminating all the enemies surrounding them!

In the distance, Xia Fan had already set down Le Jiajia and Nikai, as well as Light.

“Nikai and Le Jiajia, protect each other, and don’t stray from one another,” Xia Fan instructed them. The two women nodded at the same time, while Light also pulled out a crude dagger.

In the next second, the unburdened Xia Fan was like a ferocious tiger that had been uncaged, snaking through the sea of enemies as he displayed his insane speed, swiftly taking apart the tribal warriors.

Slash after slash, every cut he made reaped lives!

Xia Fan was like a godly executioner, taking uncounted heads in the blink of an eye. He executed a flawless demonstration of the Skywing Clan’s lightning assault.

Of all martial arts under the sky, only speed is king!

Speed was just that unreasonable!

Not only was it undefeated, there was no way of running from it!

All of them would lay down their lives here!

…

“You scared yours truly to death. I even thought I wouldn’t be able to hold out and would really die and go off to see my ancestors,” Traveling Buddha was half lying on the ground, complaining while Xia Fan used some sprays to treat his wounds.

Everyone was gathered around them, listening as Nikai vividly described their experiences throughout their journey.

Hearing how Xia Fan and Nikai had been chased by Demi-dragons, and how Le Jiajia came descending from above enveloped in a holy light, saving Xia Fan and Traveling Buddha, everyone was shocked. At the same time, they could not understand when Le Jiajia had become so powerful!

“My special ability is Phantom,” Le Jiajia answered quietly, “But I actually have another ability you can’t really call a special ability. It is just that I can burn and release the energy running in my body like electricity, giving off light.

“Before coming to the buffer zone, I always thought that giving off light wasn’t anything remarkable, since light could hardly be of any use in combat, but now I finally understand that the light I give off can actually disperse Demonic lifeforms!”

Huu~

Everyone let out a sigh. The ability to give off a light that could disperse Demonic lifeforms was too powerful. It was more powerful than all their special abilities!

“Were it not for you, we would have all handed our lives over today, so thank you very much,” Dongfang He said.

Everyone else expressed their gratitude as well.

There was this magical effect of fighting side by side with people. It seemed like overnight, everybody no longer cared about Le Jiajia’s bloodline, and there were even two mischievous rascals who suggested their desire to ask Le Jiajia out on a date after returning to Subduing Demon City.

Le Jiajia had always been scorned by others, so to suddenly be on the receiving end of so much admiration was a little embarrassing, but she was actually elated deep down.

—

Xia Fan did not participate in their discussion. He was a speedster, and he took on the responsibility of saving and treating the many injured citizens in the city.

The outcome of the fight was hard to watch. The losses of the Shimmers were great. Practically all their warriors were dead, leaving just their old and orphaned, and the frail children.

Xia Fan was saddened by this. After all, the Shimmers were a kind and loyal race. They deserved to continue to live on far more than most humans.

Still, because of their ugly faces, good fortune had played tricks on the kind, forcing them to live in the darkness for generation after generation, enduring a tragic fate.

After he was done treating all the injured and helped bury the dead, Xia Fan sat by the moat alone, and toyed with the Skywing Token.

Xia Geng had said that if he ever found himself in a spot of trouble, he could break the token, and the people of his clan would drop everything and hurry over.

Unfortunately, he was not raised among the Skywings, so he had his doubts about that. It was not that he did not believe his clan, but he was unwilling to trouble everyone.

“So you’re here.”

Traveling Buddha limped over to Xia Fan’s side, holding his favorite tea set in hand. He handed a cup to Xia Fan and they shared a drink, enjoying this peaceful moment after the battle.

“What is that?” Traveling Buddha’s eyes were sharp, spotting the metal token Xia Fan held in his hand.

“It’s the Skywing Token. Weren’t you around when Xia Geng gave it to me?” Xia Fan asked him.

Traveling Buddha smacked himself on the head. “Oh yeah, look at you and your memory. I would have nearly forgotten it had you not mentioned it. Give it here, let me take a look.”

Xia Fan did not trust others, but how could he not trust his best friend and sworn brother? He handed the Skywing Token to Traveling Buddha without a second thought.

“Xia Geng said that I could break the token when I ran into trouble, and no matter how far I was, he would bring everyone and hurry over to my location.”

“Then why haven’t you used it? Are you saying we’re not in enough trouble right now? We’re currently trapped in the buffer zone, okay?” Traveling Buddha asked.

Xia Fan shrugged, “Well, we have no line of communication here in the buffer zone. Even if we use it, Xia Geng probably can’t receive it. Besides…”

Before Xia Fan could even finish speaking, he heard the sound of breaking metal. It was so sharp and clear that the hairs on the back of his neck stood on end.

“F*ck! Why did you shatter the Skywing Token?!” Xia Fan shouted, glaring at Traveling Buddha.

Traveling Buddha still maintained a face of nonchalance as he answered, “Isn’t the point of giving something like that to you for you to use it? Yet here you are being so unwilling to do just that, so I did it for you.”

Xia Fan wanted to cry, but no tears would come out. The Skywing Token was a top-tier token, equivalent to making the most important call throughout the clan.

It was a call to the entire clan! Whether they were male or female, young or old, everyone would come to lend a hand. This was by no means a small matter!

Xia Fan had been wracking his brains, unable to make a decision.

Yet Traveling Buddha had just casually broken it. It was almost as if he did not consider it to be the Skywing Token, but just some unimportant toy.

Xia Fan was holding onto the broken pieces of the Skywing Token, not saying a word for the longest time. Traveling Buddha continued to appear unconcerned, drinking his tea.

That was when the two of them heard Icy Rain’s voice at the same time.

“Big brother!

“Big brother!

“Have any of you seen my big brother?

“Uuuu… I seem to have lost my big brother…”
