140: Disadvantages
In the air, William felt a clear sense of pressure from that exchange with Xiao Sheng.
Although he had become famous earlier than Xiao Sheng and was a Level 100 War God known as the King of Angels, he was already being faintly suppressed.
"It seems that if I continue to let you grow, you will become a huge threat sooner or later," William said, narrowing his eyes.
"Lend me your things for a bit!" Then, without waiting for an answer, he snatched all three divine artifacts from the hands of the three Fusang people. The three still dared not speak out despite their anger.
"Lord William, the methods for using the three divine artifacts, you..."
"No need for you to say more, just give them to me!"
After William took over the three divine artifacts, he mastered the methods of using them after just a bit of fiddling.
However, it was also clearly noticeable that he was more proficient in using the yata no kagami, which shared his light attribute.
Clearly, during his many years stationed in Fusang, while he seemingly stayed in the base and didn't move around much, he had been secretly gathering relevant information.
"It seems this was planned long ago..."
But then the three looked at each other warily, because to prevent the usage methods of the artifacts from leaking, only the three of them knew them.
Now that William, an outsider, had mastered them, it meant that at least one of them had completely defected.
All three looked at the other two with extreme vigilance; in their eyes, it seemed no one was above suspicion.
But in reality, what all three were thinking was, 'Hehe, I'm acting so well, the two of them definitely won't suspect me, right?'
At the same time, William had already begun fighting Xiao Sheng with the help of the power of the three Fusang divine artifacts.
Three Beast Tamers who were only Level 90 had been able to barely fight to a draw with Xiao Sheng by relying on these three artifacts.
Now, under the control of William, who was of the same level, Xiao Sheng immediately fell into a disadvantage, taking hits everywhere.
Fortunately, perhaps due to a lack of compatibility, William's use of the other two divine artifacts was not particularly skilled.
Instead, he applied the power of the other two artifacts to the yata no kagami, losing more flexibility and diversity.
Even so, Xiao Sheng was still no match for him.
His azure dragon halberd and hands were tightly bound by the light beams released from the yata no kagami, and then the pair of wings behind William suddenly surged from one pair to three pairs, six wings in total.
A dazzling brilliance bloomed from the wings, and in the next moment, the feathers on them shot out like a violent storm.
Because his hands and the azure dragon halberd were both bound, he could neither dodge nor use the azure dragon halberd to sweep away these feathers; he could only use the beast taming armor on his body to endure it.
While a single feather could not pierce the beast taming armor on Xiao Sheng's body, there were simply too many of them.
Gathered together like a torrent of light washing over Xiao Sheng, cracks appeared in the sturdy armor on his body, and in some places, it even began to peel off piece by piece.
William immediately controlled the wings to attack those areas. By the time Xiao Sheng finally broke free, he was covered in wounds.
In particular, the beast taming armor on his arms had completely peeled off, and his blood-red arms, covered in wounds, were constantly dripping blood, but he still gripped his weapon tightly.
The wings behind William had also shot out all their feathers, leaving only illusory shadows of light.
However, those feathers were also turning into points of light and gathering behind him, beginning to reform full wings.
"Let's see if you can withstand the next wave."
Xiao Sheng didn't waste words. He knew this was the opponent's weak period before recovering for the next wave of attacks, and he needed to seize this opportunity.
Otherwise, once the opponent had gathered enough power, it was really uncertain whether he could withstand the next wave.
However, with the obstruction of the yata no kagami, Xiao Sheng was never able to get close to the already very agile William, and could only watch as the wings behind him gradually became full again.
"Is this the effect of a divine artifact? Truly satisfying. In the past, I would have waited until it was absolutely necessary to use a move with such high consumption, but now I can use it recklessly and at will, while you can only watch helplessly from the side as I recover my power."
While Xiao Sheng above was locked in a bitter struggle, the Great Xia Spirit Guards on the ground also began to find themselves stretched thin, moving away from their previous overwhelming dominance.
Because William had joined the fray, the three General Commanders of the Fusang Dark Guards were also liberated from the battle with Xiao Sheng.
Originally, the task of the three should have been to capture the Golden Feather Phoenix Bird, which was their ultimate goal, but the Golden Feather Phoenix Bird had not yet completed this second Nirvana.
So, they turned their gaze toward the battlefield below.
Although these few people had seemed quite useless in the fight against Xiao Sheng, their combat power was still not to be underestimated.
As soon as they joined, the situation was instantly reversed.
If the two legion commanders hadn't immediately stepped forward to meet them, the casualties would likely have been extremely heavy.
However, one General Commander of the Dark Guards still couldn't be blocked. He ignored the Great Xia Spirit Guards and instead charged straight for the academy forces at the very rear, beginning to cruelly slaughter the students.
Luo Xingyu of White Tiger Beast Taming University, Lin Queer of Vermilion Bird Beast Taming University, Qi Lin of the Qi Family, Xue Yuhe of the Xue Family, and even Kuang Yi, Xu Yao, and Wang Zi all died at his hands.
These people might not be strong now, but in the future, they would definitely become a huge threat to Fusang. Taking this opportunity to kill them was undoubtedly for the best.
Just as he finally crushed the neck of the master of the target Golden Feather Phoenix Bird—Su Ze, who had also killed an entire squadron of theirs—
Above, William, having gathered his power, also completed his killing of Xiao Sheng with his next wave of attacks, but he himself was pierced through the chest by the azure dragon halberd thrown by Xiao Sheng at the last moment, and both perished together.
In a brilliant light, the Golden Feather Phoenix Bird completed its final evolution. It became a Divine Beast, but because of its master's death, it entered a weakened state and could be easily captured.
"It went too smoothly! I didn't expect this mission to go so smoothly. Not only did we successfully capture the target, but Xiao Sheng and William died together. Once a war breaks out between the Great Xia and America, our Fusang can take this opportunity to slowly bide our time!"
"Is there any better situation than this? This is simply like a dream!"
"Wait... a dream?!"
He suddenly realized something and scanned the people from the five Great Xia Beast Taming Universities he had just slaughtered. There should have been someone he was extremely wary of here as well, but he didn't see him... "Dream Demon... I didn't expect to fall for your trick as well..."
He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, and then he woke up.
He had indeed crossed the defensive line of the Great Xia Spirit Guards and arrived in front of the teachers and students of the Beast Taming Universities.
But he hadn't been able to slaughter these students; instead, there were many large and small wounds on his own body.
If he hadn't already undergone beast taming Armorization before this, he probably would have been hacked into mincemeat long ago.
In front of him, Lin Xi, sweeping away his previous dejection, was looking at him somewhat gloomily and said, "Sigh, did you realize something was wrong and wake yourself up? It seems that trying to make someone over Level 90 fully enter a dream is still a bit difficult..."
