The Flaming Six Wings originally thought Xiang Beifei was very lucky.
But soon he felt something was amiss.
If the first nightfall was a coincidence that allowed Xiang Beifei to escape a fatal blow, then what about the second time?
Could someone really be so lucky as to avoid a powerful attack twice in a row just by luck?
The Flaming Six Wings muttered no several times, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. Many thoughts flashed through his mind, all concerning Xiang Beifei.
Recalling the day and night cycle carefully, the day and night alternation in the Land of Inheritance occurs abruptly, and no one knows how it happens. Because the Land of Inheritance has become unusual, with Giant Spirits and the Black River, rapid day and night changes seem reasonable.
All cultivators used to think so.
But ever since the Flaming Six Wings planned to use the day and night cycle to control the Yi Tribe cultivators, things went awry because the first person to predict the day and night cycle was none other than Xiang Beifei!
Although Xiang Beifei presented a large array of theories to explain the regularity of the day and night changes, no one could predict the cycle, while Xiang Beifei could specify the exact breathing moments of the changes.
Plus, the critical moment when night fell just saved Xiang Beifei's life. If luck was really that good, it would be mind-boggling!
The Flaming Six Wings became increasingly shocked, and a possibility gradually emerged in his mind. Then, he looked at Xiang Beifei in disbelief and said, "Are you the one behind the day and night cycle?"
Xuwang was also stunned by the Flaming Six Wings' words. After thinking carefully, it was like a revelation, and he suddenly understood!
With his scheming and cunning, if he couldn't figure this out, he shouldn't be mingling in these circles.
He growled with gritted teeth.
He realized how foolish he looked in those past days, frantically researching the day and night cycle of the Land of Inheritance, staying up late to meticulously study Xiang Beifei's notes, and even making countless annotations, almost compiling them into a book ready for publication.
Now he understood he was played like a monkey by Xiang Beifei!
"You actually played us!"
Both Xuwang and the Flaming Six Wings, realizing they'd been manipulated by Xiang Beifei all this time, became furious and shouted at him in unison.
However, Xiang Beifei didn't respond at all. He neither admitted nor bothered to deny, simply observing Xuwang and the Flaming Six Wings calmly.
It turned dark again!
"We can't be fooled again!"
Xuwang and Flaming Six Wings almost shouted this to each other at the same time!
This time they were both wiser.
Their strengths were nearly identical; if they fought each other in this pitch darkness, they might end up wounding each other, which they'd both suffered from earlier!
Although they weren't truly considering each other's well-being, they understood that dealing with Xiang Beifei required them to be on the same side. If they hurt each other again, it might give Xiang Beifei a chance! Therefore, they both slightly held back, shifting to a defensive stance.
But at that moment, Xuwang suddenly noticed something was wrong. Though there was no aura at all, his left tendril felt as if it suffered a tremendous blow, with a "boom", and he felt like he was hammered bluntly, his whole body staggering.
At the same time, daylight suddenly returned!
Turning his head, Xuwang was furious to see Xiang Beifei had, at some point, stealthily approached and slashed at him!
Yet Xiang Beifei's strike didn't hit Xuwang's vital points.
It wasn't to his fault; even for him, when the darkness fell, his perception was nearly blocked, and he could only rely on intuition to launch an attack aimed at Xuwang's vital points.
Still, Xuwang was very vigilant; he had protected himself just in time, and Xiang Beifei's sword struck Xuwang's tough, black tendrils, merely causing a tremor throughout Xuwang's body without inflicting actual harm.
"You're courting death!"
Xuwang roared in rage, red tendrils once again blooming with harsh, cold lights, striking toward Xiang Beifei!
Simultaneously, the Flaming Six Wings also summoned the Yellow Spring monster again, and the ferocious monster flailed wildly through the skies, continuing its onslaught on Xiang Beifei!
The Flaming Six Wings and Xuwang cooperated impeccably, seizing the moment at dawn to blast toward Xiang Beifei once more!
But Xiang Beifei shrouded the sky once again!
This almost made the Flaming Six Wings and Xuwang spit blood!
These were highly powerful cultivators at the peak of Heavenly Connection. If it were one-on-one, they had confidence in dealing with Xiang Beifei, but Xiang Beifei simply avoided direct confrontation, leaving them unable to unleash their full strength.
"He's definitely going to look for a way to attack one of us."
This was the shared thought of Xuwang and the Flaming Six Wings, who simultaneously shifted into a defensive stance. In the darkness where they can't act, self-preservation was key!
Darkness fell, light returned, darkness came again, light returned again...
Among Xiang Beifei's sweeping Sword Qi, rampant and unrestrained, slashing down on these two guys, even though he couldn't perceive, he could roughly estimate his attack range.
All kinds of attacks greeted Xuwang and the Flaming Six Wings.
The flickering light made Xuwang and the Flaming Six Wings incredibly tense, wrapping themselves tightly in powerful defenses, blocking all of Xiang Beifei's attacks.
But it was beyond frustrating for the two!
Xiang Beifei frowned slightly; once these two guys went into defense, they were like tough turtle shells, utterly unbreakable, his attacks always falling short.
Meanwhile, the Flaming Six Wings and Xuwang had already figured out Xiang Beifei's approach. They weren't just passive punching bags but could also retaliate in the darkness!
Xuwang and the Flaming Six Wings exchanged a glance. Seizing the moment of darkness, the two moved together, back to back, confronting Xiang Beifei together.
"I'll watch the left, you take the right," Xuwang shouted to the Flaming Six Wings.
"Understood," the Flaming Six Wings immediately understood.
Knowing they were back-to-back, they could act with a sense of direction, avoiding the kind of accidents from before!
"Yellow Spring Overwhelming Sky!" the Flaming Six Wings roared.
The surging Yellow Spring water poured down from above, carrying with it a strange and powerful corrosive force, rapidly spreading outward, aiming for an indiscriminate attack.
Even if the Yellow Spring water lost its sensing ability in darkness, with Xuwang right behind him, this large-scale counterattack would definitely not harm Xuwang.
"Ghost Whiskers Seal the Sky!"
Xuwang also performed a coordinated, powerful attack with his ghost whiskers, targeting a broad swath, ensuring that from any angle, Xiang Beifei would face their fierce counterattacks!
