Chapter 663 - 659: Family Reunion, Seeking Solutions
Xia Feng hid in the shadows, watching the frenzied Snow, and couldn’t help but let out a light scoff.
This light scoff seemed to have been noticed by Snow, whose soul fire in his skeletal eye sockets stared fixedly in Xia Feng’s direction.
"Who’s pretending to be all mysterious! If you have the guts, come out and face me directly! What’s the point of hiding in the dark!"
Xia Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and his figure shook as he appeared right in front of Snow.
Snow looked Xia Feng up and down, and after a long pause, let out a light snort: "I thought you were some formidable character, turns out you’re just a young kid."
The Nether Qi on him began to spread, and in the blink of an eye, the dense Death Qi enveloped Xia Feng, then he laughed coldly.
"A young kid is naive indeed. If you kept hiding in the dark to give me trouble, I might not have been able to deal with you."
"Now that you’ve come out yourself, it’s convenient for me to deal with you directly."
He laughed wildly while observing the expressions of the people around him, only to find no trace of worry on the faces of the nearby women.
Snow felt something was amiss, but couldn’t pinpoint what it was, so he looked at the people around him in displeasure.
"Just wait and see, after dealing with this kid, it will be your turn next."
Xia Feng, a bit speechless, swung the Heaven-Burying Sword, directly absorbing all the Nether Qi into his body, transforming it into part of his Divine Power, then lazily yawned on purpose.
"Are you done babbling?"
"If that’s your last words, then they are quite distinctive."
As he finished speaking, the Sword Qi on the Heaven-Burying Sword surged out, and the dense Power of Life directly stabbed toward Snow.
Snow’s body trembled, unexpectedly unable to understand how Xia Feng did it, appearing quite flustered and helpless.
The Soul Fire in his eye sockets flickered for a moment, and he spoke with annoyance: "Kid, how dare you toy with me like this, today I’ll make you pay for angering me!"
Snow charged towards Xia Feng’s direction, and Xia Feng let out a light snort: "Annoying."
Then, an overwhelming Power of Life surged at Snow without any concealment, and in the blink of an eye, his entire skeletal body was corroded into a wisp of black smoke.
This wisp of black smoke was Snow’s last shred of Power of the Soul, still trying to escape further away.
Xia Feng had killed many demons and Death Gods before, including quite a few High Tiers, so he naturally knew what this thing was.
If he let it escape, it wouldn’t take long for it to devour enough Nether Qi and restore its original body.
But Xia Feng wouldn’t give him such a chance, directly opened his mouth and swallowed the wisp of black smoke, intending to refine it into part of his own body.
The black smoke condensed into a skeletal human face, continuously changing expressions and emotions, yet no matter how much it struggled, it couldn’t escape the fate of demise.
By now, the surrounding demons and Death Gods had mostly been taken care of by the ice seal, with only a few scattered alien races still struggling.
Xia Feng casually waved his hand, and the layer of clouds slowly dispersed, revealing the original sun.
Father Xia and Mrs. Xia were a bit worried about Xia Feng’s situation before, fearing Xia Feng couldn’t handle that skeleton opponent, but now seeing Xia Feng had completely dealt with it, they finally breathed a sigh of relief and joyfully gathered around.
"Feng’Er, you’ve gained a lot this time going out, you managed to deal with that seemingly difficult Nether Race so easily."
Xia Naiwen had an uncontrollable smile on his face, patting Xia Feng’s shoulder with a look full of admiration.
Huang Xiaoqian thought more than he did, and although her expression was happy, it carried a tinge of concern: "Gains always come with risks, did Feng’Er encounter any issues on this outing?"
"You didn’t get hurt, did you?"
Xia Feng felt warmth in his heart and smiled: "No, don’t worry, Father and Mother, I certainly won’t take undue risks."
As he said this, the women behind him all showed reproachful expressions, seemingly not agreeing with Xia Feng’s words; on this outing, Xia Feng was almost always at the forefront of the risk.
He was always worried about the women’s safety, never considering that he was just an ordinary person who might get injured or even killed.
Huang Xiaoqian saw the expressions of the women and could guess that Xia Feng encountered many risks in the Celestial Pill Divine Domain. Her eyes reddened slightly, and she softly said: "We’ve been a burden to you."
If it weren’t for them, without the people of Great Xia, Xia Feng wouldn’t have needed to work so hard, at least not scrambling back to protect them without even time to rest.
Xia Feng showed a hearty smile: "What is Mother saying, you are all my family, and the people of Great Xia count as our subjects, so I naturally have to protect you well."
This statement wasn’t suppressed, and many soldiers around heard it, all showing expressions of excitement, looking at Xia Feng with eyes full of admiration.
Xia Feng smiled at them, then said to Father Xia and Mrs. Xia: "The Demon and Nether Races are making big moves, let’s head back to discuss how to face them next."
His brows furrowed slightly for a moment, but he quickly untied them: "This kind of invasion won’t be the last. Just defending isn’t a solution; we have to find a way to solve it."
His gaze fell on Emperor Xia nearby, slightly nodding before quickly shifting his gaze, then leading the group through space back to his Divine Hall.
After looking around to ensure no other people were present, he wasted no time and led the group into the Dream Realm Pearl.
Although previous Emperors Xia vaguely guessed this space’s existence, this was still the first time observing it so clearly, naturally making it hard to control their gaze.
Moreover, the Divine Power here was countless times denser than in Great Xia, though also subtly carrying a hint of hard-to-detect Death Qi.
Xia Tianming, who entered earlier, had been following this wisp of Death Qi to search for a long time, yet still couldn’t find where the problem was.
Upon Xia Feng’s entry, he spoke with a tinge of concern: "Is the situation outside resolved?"
"I see you’ve all come in, does that mean those scoundrels outside Great Xia Divine Capital are dealt with as well?"
Seeing Xia Feng nod, Xia Tianming seemed to breathe a huge sigh of relief: "When the Celestial Sword Divine King left back then, he had already dealt with quite a few high-level scoundrels."
"But the remaining ones still gave us quite a headache, a bit hard to manage."
Xia Feng pursed his lips: "The Great Xia Divine Domain is too young, though our high-level combat strength is decent, there’s an almost complete gap in the middle. Compared to the Ten Great Divine Domains, our foundation is still somewhat weak, a solution needs to be found."
