This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 596 Moonlit Slash

The night is like water.

The city of Mingdu was brightly lit, and prayers for blessings came from every household, like rivers flowing into the sea, merging into a powerful sound that resonated throughout the entire city.

Under the temple's command, the hundreds of thousands of people in Mingdu City were divided into five groups, each with at least 100,000 people, to pray for two hours in front of the statues of gods issued by the temple.

This is to continuously replenish the energy of the White Pagoda's Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle Blessing Array and maintain the energy required to keep the array running.

Everyone's life has been disrupted.

Under the oppressive power of the temple, no one dared to complain at first.

But as Li Fei remained stationed outside the city day after day, the White Pagoda's Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle Blessing Array continued to operate. Gradually, the resentment in people's hearts began to intensify.

For the great formation to gather the faith and spiritual power of everyone, sincerity is a prerequisite.

However, as people's resentment deepens, their sincerity in praying for blessings naturally diminishes.

As a result, the energy collected by the great formation is decreasing every day.

With less energy provided by the common people, the powerful figures within the city must expend more energy.

Although everyone took turns every day and had ample supplies of pills, after a while, they gradually couldn't hold on any longer.

The elixirs provided by the temple can replenish their physical strength, but those that can replenish mental energy and the life essence implanted in the body are extremely precious and rare, and cannot be supplied in unlimited quantities.

Therefore, the mental fatigue and damage to the implants in these strong individuals accumulate every day.

"With so many of us taking turns and the supply of pills, we're already almost at our breaking point. The enemy only has one person outside the city, and he's probably already used up all the pills he carried. How can he possibly hold on?"

"The opponent once fought against ten thousand men in the Northern Barbarians, and his ability to sustain combat is probably comparable to that of a top-tier expert."

"Even a top-tier expert would be unable to withstand such a fight!"

“His attack frequency has decreased significantly in the last few days compared to before, and I think he’s almost done for.”

"."

Inside the main hall, a group of people in power were having a discussion.

Li Fei has been blocking the city for a month.

This past month has been an unprecedented ordeal for the people of Mingdu City, as well as for those in power!
The esteemed Daman is still in seclusion, and it's unknown when he will be able to help Tuoba Shanhai break through his cultivation level.

Although Qilian Guanshi issued a strict order before going into seclusion, forbidding anyone from leaving the city.

But after dragging it out for so long, the warlike grassland people are about to lose their temper!
"I think Li Fei is definitely not at his peak either, so we can at least test him out."

The head of a large family spoke up.

The people present here today are all patriarchs of various families.

Neither the temple shaman, who was completely loyal to Qilian Guanshi, nor the chieftains of several major clans were present.

"How do we test them? Should we only use the men under our command?"

"Of course, we can't just send people; we have to persuade the others to join in, but the premise is that we must first reach a consensus."

“That’s right. Let’s reach a consensus first, and then we can go talk to those shamans.”

"What do you all say?"

“I agree. We can send someone out of the city to probe.”

"I agree."

"."

The clan leaders quickly reached a consensus.

The law does not punish the masses. If it is only them who jumped out to disobey Qilian Guanshi's orders, the consequences may be very serious once the other party comes out of seclusion.

But if everyone gets involved and disobeys orders, even Qilian Guanshi can't say anything.

So these people quickly climbed the sacred mountain together and met several temple shamans.

"How dare you disobey the Great Manchu's orders?!"

Upon learning the purpose of these people's visit, a temple shaman immediately shouted angrily.

"If Daman hadn't gone into seclusion, seeing the current situation, he would probably support us too!"

A tribal chief declared firmly, "If we are blocked outside the royal city by a mere individual for a whole month, and we can't even mount a proper counterattack, how will the sons of the grasslands ever have the face to roam the heavens again?!"

"Once Daman helps Chief Tuoba successfully break through to the next realm, the two of them will join forces to kill Marquis Jing'an of Dalan, and the world will know the might of our grasslands!"

"Fellow shamans, we have no intention of offending you, nor do we doubt Daman's abilities. However, breaking through to the pinnacle—throughout history, how can anyone be absolutely certain of success? What if… what if Chief Tuoba fails?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Even those who have the most faith in Qilian Guanshi will have such concerns deep down.

Yes, what if Tuoba Shanhai fails to break through to the next realm?
They abandoned six major cities, and their capital was besieged, yet they dared not retaliate.

These actions will undoubtedly severely damage the prestige of the temple and Qilian Guanshi!

Of those present, only two temple shamans knew the truth.

They participated in the battle that besieged the Styx Ancestor.

But they couldn't tell the truth.

If the people present knew they had been deceived and that Qilian Guanshi was in his current state, no one could guarantee what might happen.

"Li Fei's attack frequency has clearly decreased in the past few days, so his condition must not be very good. I think we can definitely send someone to probe him, and if there is an opportunity, we should severely injure or even kill him!"

One of the clan leaders spoke up, "Even if he has killed a peak expert, he is still not a peak expert. Without the laws of the Dao, he cannot completely crush experts of the same realm. We don't need to be so timid."

"What if there are casualties during the probing? If that affects the defense of the city and ruins the Great Man's plans, who will be responsible?"

A temple shaman questioned.

"Shaman Cangmu, if I may be frank, if this continues, our people will soon be on the verge of collapse without any casualties. At that point, we will only continue to deplete the faith power on the sacred mountain and the national fortune of my grassland royal court!"

"Yes, if we don't take advantage of the current situation when everyone is still in good form, when will we ever get another chance to test the waters?"

The clan leaders each spoke in turn.

The temple shaman named Cangmu frowned as he looked at these people.

He knew that the reason why the patriarchs of these large families were so proactive was not because they were worried that Mingdu City could not be defended, but because they were worried that their own interests would be damaged.

Although the six major cities have been abandoned, they can be taken back.

The longer it drags on, the greater the losses will be.

Moreover, the people under the command of these powerful families are scattered throughout the grasslands. Now that Li Fei has blocked them in the city, they are bound to worry about whether their families will be targeted by the Great Blue Dynasty.

However, no one would openly express such thoughts.

Everyone spoke with righteous indignation, and they all seemed to be thinking of the greater good and the grasslands!
Cangmu couldn't expose these people, nor could he refute them.

With neither Qilian Guanshi nor Tuoba Shanhai present, the few of them alone were indeed no match for these powerful families.

Inside the palace, a minister brought the decree of the new Khan, Sukhrenhe.

The decision regarding Li Fei has finally been made—

Outside the city of Mingdu, the bright night light illuminated the shadow of the great city on the ground.

Li Fei was shrouded in this shadow.

The night breeze blew, and the grass rippled like waves, while the chirping of insects filled the air.

Li Fei sat cross-legged, holding the Thousand-Mechanism Shadowless Silk in his hand, chatting with someone:

"How's your recovery going?"

"pretty good."

"Are you really alright? Will there be any lasting effects?"

"Don't worry, it's really nothing. It will take at most one or two years to recover."

"That's good."

"I heard you're stuck outside the capital of the grasslands all by yourself?"

"You knew already?"

"It's not just me who knows; now the entire martial arts world, and even the entire Great Blue Dynasty, are all talking about it. You've once again become the center of global attention."

"Haha."

"Qilian Guanshi is no ordinary person. If you are surrounded by several peak experts again this time, I may not have time to save you again."

"Don't worry, Li Ming is already dead. At most, Qi Lian Guan Shi can still contact the Styx Ancestor and a few other powerful figures from the Western Continent. Even if I can't defeat them, I can still escape."

"What if there are three peaks?"

"Where in Qilian is there a third peak to be found? The Buddhist side has Marshal Wenren leading a group to guard it. Are they looking for 'Demon Spear' Tian Youpeng?"

Li Fei looked relaxed.

'Demon Gun' Tian Youpeng is the last of the three evil demons, and he was originally an assassin.

The journey from a lowly assassin to the pinnacle of martial arts is undoubtedly legendary.

"Marshal Wenren and Tian Youpeng made a pact that as long as Marshal Wenren is alive, the other party cannot assassinate anyone from the Great Lan Dynasty."

Li Fei revealed a secret known only to the true high-ranking officials of the Great Blue Dynasty.

"Oh? Is that so?"

"Tian Youpeng's Dao is related to killing and killing. Back then, he assassinated five Grandmasters in succession."

"Yeah, I've heard of that."

Tian Youpeng was defined as a demon not only because he was a demonic martial artist, but also because of his crazy experience back then.

The assassination of five grandmasters, each a powerful figure in their own right, sparked a manhunt throughout the martial arts world and resulted in the emperor being wanted by the imperial court!

Tian Youpeng was chased and nearly killed several times, and he only survived by sheer luck. He also managed to break through to sainthood by fighting his way out of desperate situations several times.

"Not long after he broke through to the next realm, True Monarch Yun Shu discovered his location, and Marshal Wenren personally intervened to block him."

"Wenren Zheng didn't kill him?"

"Yes, I don't know the specific reason either, but the two of them made a pact. Since then, Tian Youpeng has indeed never killed anyone from the Great Blue Dynasty."

Li Fei informed Ning Qingman of this secret of the Great Blue Dynasty.

Trust is one aspect.

On the other hand, he believed that Ning Qingman would keep the secret.

"I had heard before that the 'Demon Spear' had some connection with the Wen family, and it seems the rumors are true."

Ning Qingman said.

Li Fei: "He was lucky."

Anyone who dares to openly challenge the world's order will inevitably pay the price.

Otherwise, why would the Styx Ancestor have secretly plotted for so many years, yet there is only the soul of a top-tier expert in the Styx River?
Even if Li Ming wanted to complete the Dao principles, it would take him more than a decade to plan, using the name of the grassland people to challenge Ying Jie. Tian Youpeng dared to assassinate five Grandmasters in succession; even if he was lucky enough to escape the pursuit and successfully break through to become a Martial Saint, he would still be a Martial Saint.

so what?

He was blocked by Wenren Zheng!
If Wenren Zheng hadn't let him go back then, there would be no Three Evils in this world.

Because of this cause and effect, Li Fei is not worried that Qilian Guanshi will be able to find the 'Demon Spear'.

"In fact, I think Tian Youpeng might be on our side."

Li Fei said.

"Oh?"

"His principles are related to killing. Back then, he relied on assassinating martial artists of the same realm to break through. Now, if he wants to go further, he can only assassinate top experts."

“He can’t kill the pinnacle of the Great Blue Dynasty, and he dares not kill the pinnacles of Buddhism and Taoism. As for the rest, Lin Tianyi doesn’t need to think about it. Only you, the Pavilion Master of the Red Dust Pavilion, and the other two evil spirits are left.”

"The other two demons have always been elusive. Over the years, Tian Youpeng has never made a move against you or the Lord of the Red Dust Pavilion, which means he is not confident. Now, the only one he is relatively confident about is Qilian Guanshi, who has only recently broken through to the next realm. Moreover, Qilian Guanshi's location is also very clear; he is right here in Mingdu City."

Li Fei spoke eloquently, sharing his speculations.

Ning Qingman: "Didn't you have anyone contact Tian Youpeng?"

Li Fei: "Of course I contacted them, but they didn't respond."

The Great Blue Dynasty had previously considered creating an opportunity for the other side to assassinate the pinnacle of Buddhism.

However, Tian Youpeng resolutely refused.

The reason is not hard to guess.

The outcome between the Buddhist sect and the Great Blue Dynasty is still uncertain. Regardless of whether his actions succeed or not, he has offended the Buddhist sect to the death and has been bound to the Great Blue Dynasty's war chariot.

Tian Youpeng clearly didn't want to be used as a pawn.

"Even if Yun Shu himself cast the spell back then, he might not have been able to restrain a peak expert with a contract, let alone now that Yun Shu is gone. In short, you still need to be careful."

"it is good."

"Have you always been this risky in your work?"

"No, every time it seems like I'm taking a risk, I'm actually quite confident."

"Including the time in Cuiqing City?"

"To be honest, if you hadn't come to the battle of Cuiqing City, those two demons might not have made a move. Even if they hadn't, I would still have had a chance to break the deadlock with just Qilian Guanshi and the people from Xilu."

"Oh? So it was my fault then."

"No, no, no, it's all thanks to Immortal Ning's help that I survived. I will always remember Immortal Ning's great kindness!"

"The dignified Marquis of Jing'an is so glib-tongued?"

"No way."

As Li Fei was replying to the message with a smile, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in front of him suddenly changed.

The great formation that enveloped Mingdu City once again took on the shape of a treasure bottle, and the bottle mouth, which had been continuously absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth, suddenly began to expel it outwards.

Boom——

It was as if a raging dragon had appeared in the air, carrying immense spiritual energy, and it lunged at Li Fei!

The sea of ​​primordial energy was completely disrupted, and the surrounding spatial layers were filled with terrifying primordial energy.

In that instant, even spatial teleportation abilities could no longer be used.

Li Fei put away the Thousand Shadowless Silk, stood up from the grass, and simply threw a punch upwards.

The sword intent that pierced the heavens and cleaved the earth flashed by, slaying dragons and killing gods!

The raging dragon shattered into pieces, and the out-of-control energy tore up and ripped the grass, causing the ground within a radius of 100 meters to sink by more than 10 feet!

The main function of the White Pagoda's Blessing Vase Array is defense, but that doesn't mean it can't be used for offense.

The powerful figures within the city planned to test Li Fei, so they naturally made full use of the city's protective formation.

This devastating attack, like a dragon stirring up the sea, was merely the prelude to the offensive—

White towers appeared out of thin air around Li Fei, continuing to suppress the space and prevent him from using [Boundless Distance].

Immediately following, the sea surged, dragons roared, thunder shook the heavens, meteors fell from the sky, and stars shone brightly.
The triple formation and the quadruple martial arts domain descended simultaneously, crushing towards Li Fei!

The seven top experts in Mingdu City attacked simultaneously, choosing the most straightforward and unadorned method of attack—

The martial arts domain and formation were superimposed to suppress Li Fei's [Primordial Sword Realm] and supernatural powers!
Li Fei brought two fingers together to form a sword shape and lightly drew a line in front of him.

A ray of brilliant light surrounded him, as if the entire world had encompassed him.

All the attacks, though seemingly only a hair's breadth away from him, were as if separated by an insurmountable chasm, and all 'sank' into that small world.

[Ignorant of the immensity of heaven], capable of both offense and defense!
To conserve energy, Li Fei did not maintain the 'Extreme Sword State' at all times.

When he was attacked, he did not activate the [Dragon Elephant] divine power to enhance his strength.

However, his Hunyuan Sword Body is equivalent to allowing him to maintain the [Hunyuan Sword Armor] at all times. What is the strongest form for others is just normal for him!
The powerful figures in Mingdu City wanted to catch him off guard and suppress his sword realm, but little did they know that his sword realm was always at its peak and was not afraid of a sneak attack at all.

Li Fei calmly defended for one move, then began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth with all his might, unleashing the [Dragon Elephant] divine power.

Even though the opponent had a powerful formation to assist them and suppressed the [Chaotic Golden Palace], they still didn't have the [Devouring Heaven] Dao principle like Li Ming, so they couldn't stop Li Fei from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

For Li Fei now, nothing can threaten him as long as it doesn't have any Dao principles.

A massive black axe fell like a mountain, cleaving down with the force of splitting the heavens and earth!
A two-winged white tiger roared to the sky and pounced in as well.

Finally, there was a blood-red wolf, exuding an overwhelming aura of malevolence.

Behind this demonic wolf was a full moon, as if it had dragged the moon from the sky down to earth and then crashed into it with the bright moon in its wake!

The three grassland cavalry units within the city also mobilized their troops and launched an attack on Li Fei.

As the three military spirits crashed into that sliver of light, Li Fei's defensive stance finally began to waver.

He remained calm, one hand behind his back and the other waving his sleeve.

The 'ring' in front of him suddenly changed—

A myriad of beings, ghostly figures, Asura warriors, and celestial beings descend. Within this world, the six realms of reincarnation revolve, making this world more harmonious and perfect.

Learned from Qilian Guanshi's Six Paths of Reincarnation, it is used to combine forces when in harmony and to transform forces when in opposition.

At this moment, Li Fei reversed the six paths, using the power of reincarnation to dissolve all the attacking forces one by one!

Seeing him use his own family's signature move, the group of grassland warriors were both shocked and furious.

"Keep attacking! He can't possibly be in perfect condition!"

Someone transmitted the message.

Then an astonishing offensive came crashing down, with ten top-tier combatants cooperating with the great formation to launch a frenzied attack!

Li Fei's [Ignorance of the Heavens] was finally broken. Layers of weakened attacks landed on his Hunyuan Sword Body, and then—

Block them all!

After breaking through the realm, the defense of the Primordial Sword Body truly reached its peak.

Although it lacks the [Dragon Elephant] supernatural power and isn't as exaggerated as its offensive capabilities, Li Fei can almost ignore attacks below the peak!
As long as the power is not exhausted, this defense will not weaken!
If 'Sword Immortal' Ning Qingman uses [Sword Release] for defense, she can certainly block even stronger attacks.

However, if she focuses solely on attacking with her sword, she is actually less effective defensively than Li Fei is at this moment.

As I said before, Li Fei now exudes the beauty of numbers from head to toe!
Despite the frenzied attacks from the crowd, Li Fei focused on absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to accelerate the enhancement of his [Dragon Elephant] divine power.

In less than two minutes, he had already increased his strength fivefold.

"enough"

Li Fei took a step forward, using his body as a sword to tear through space!
The raging sea was cleaved in two, the dragon was broken into pieces, the giant axe shattered, the white tiger was decapitated, and the full moon behind the blood wolf became a crescent moon.
The triple formation and the quadruple martial arts domain were all broken!

"withdraw--"

Without any hesitation, the seven top experts who had left the city turned and ran!
They did not go too far out of the city, and they activated the White Pagoda Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle Blessing Array to extend it outwards. They were within the outer range of the array, which meant they were still within the array.

This choice undoubtedly allows them to both attack and defend.

With just one step, everyone retreated back into the city!
Just as everyone breathed a sigh of relief, Li Fei had already reached the edge of the great formation.

"bloom!"

Li Fei silently recited two words in his mind.

In an instant, a blue lotus flower bloomed on the light shield of the great formation.

【Azure Lotus Sword Brilliance】!
A portion of the power belonging to the White Pagoda's Wish-Fulfilling Treasure Bottle Blessing Array was transformed into sword energy.

Li Fei passed through the sword energy and arrived at the city wall of Mingdu City!

In just over a month, he attacked this great formation so many times that he naturally gained a deeper understanding of it.

Although the Azure Lotus Sword Radiance cannot affect the entire formation, it can still temporarily affect a corner of it.

He came before a great master of the grasslands, the chieftain of the Tulun tribe, Tulun Yanhu.

Tulun Yanhu stared at Li Fei with wide eyes, his face full of horror.

He desperately unleashed his martial domain, but it was broken after only a moment.

A hand as white as jade reached out to grab him, its five fingers seemingly possessing incredible magic. With just a gentle squeeze, the entire world was held in the other's palm!

"Help me."

Li Fei covered Tulun Yanhu's face with his hand.

Immediately afterwards, a torrent of water burst forth from the city, carrying him and Li Fei out of the city.

The power of faith atop the sacred mountain and the destiny of the grassland royal court are once again being harnessed!

These people dared to leave the city tonight, so they must have prepared for the worst.

Li Fei grabbed the Tulun Yanhu and retreated several hundred meters before stopping. He shook his head with some regret.

If his [Dragon Elephant] divine power had been enhanced to its limit, if the influence of [Azure Lotus Sword Radiance] were a little stronger, and if the opponent used the power of faith and national fortune a little slower, he could have stormed into the city tonight!
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs," and the enemy isn't stupid either.

Li Fei glanced at the Turen Yanhu he had caught and tightened his grip slightly.

Snapped--

The head of the Turen family, a grandmaster of the grasslands, exploded like a crushed tomato!
Li Fei casually tossed the headless corpse down to the foot of the city wall in front of him:

"Welcome again."

Under the moonlight, his golden robe was spotless, and the sleeves fluttered in the night breeze.

Still not completely out of the array's influence, Li Fei sat cross-legged and continued chatting, taking out the Thousand Machine Shadowless Silk.

Ning Qingman was a little worried because he hadn't replied in time, so she asked him what was wrong.

He smiled slightly and replied:
"It's nothing, I just got rid of a few flies."

Asking for monthly ticket
