This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 625 He attained enlightenment!
"I want this principle!"

Li Fei used his inner voice when he said this.

He learned this extremely profound technique of mental manipulation after listening to Jiao Yuan explain it so many times.

Because his mental strength is strong enough, and because he combines magic and martial arts, he can use spells to assist him, making it much easier for him to learn.

Upon hearing his words, the four ninth-grade mythical beasts reacted in different ways.

"court death!"

Gu Yan's eyes flashed with ferocity. His severed arm had been restored to its original state, and the dark red domain power was like a dragon, coiling around its massive body.

The Void Clam remained silent, and the void trembled once more, completely sealing off the surrounding space with its void power, preventing Li Fei from using [Boundless Distance].

The tail needle of Sheng Lu flashed with light, its aura locking onto Li Fei.

Bone Li's hundreds of tentacles danced, emitting sharp, piercing sounds:

"Human, even if you kill Jiao Yuan, how much fighting power do you have left?"

These words made the atmosphere even more tense, and a strong sense of murderous intent filled the air.

The four ninth-grade beasts were well aware of Jiao Yuan's power. Even if Li Fei killed him, he would inevitably have to pay a price!
How much fighting strength does he have left?
It might just be an empty shell, all just bluffing!

So after the initial shock, none of the four ninth-grade beasts were intimidated by Li Fei.

The reason they didn't rush to make a move was twofold: firstly, they were afraid that if they made the first move, they would expose a weakness and give the other beasts an opportunity.

Secondly, they were wary of the flying sword overhead.

A human without any Dao principles has already killed Jiao Yuan. This flying sword that suddenly appeared also lacks Dao principles, but its killing power is not low. What if it is an 'anomaly' like Li Fei?

"Then let's start with you."

Faced with Gu Li's provocation, Li Fei responded simply and violently—

Draw your sword!

The golden sword of the state, which carries the weight of the vast blue mountains and rivers, was suddenly raised in his hand, its tip pointing directly at the towering Bone Li. Without needing to gather strength, he slashed out with a single blow.

boom--!
The vast golden sword energy surged and roared like a bursting river, instantly engulfing the enormous demonic body of Gu Li, which was a thousand meters long!

It's another one of the styles: "Sharing the same robes with you."

This time, because Ji Yiheng's flying sword was nearby, Li Fei also 'borrowed' a portion of the opponent's sword intent and sword energy, making his attack even more fierce!

Gu Li was filled with shock and rage. Hundreds of ferocious tentacles intertwined wildly, instantly forming layers of dark grids in front of him, and a vast amount of domain power was poured into them as if it were a tangible substance.

While defending itself, it once again unleashed a piercing shriek powerful enough to tear apart the soul, launching an attack on Li Fei's mind.

scoff-

The seemingly resilient domain grid was as fragile as paper in the face of the sword energy, crumbling and annihilating inch by inch the moment it made contact!
The golden torrent was unstoppable, crashing fiercely against Bone Li's body.

As for mental attacks, Li Fei safely blocked them using [Eternal Stability] + [Refining].

puff! puff! puff! puff! puff!
The sound of flesh being pierced was as dense as rain. In an instant, the massive body of Gu Li was pierced by the sword energy, leaving countless huge holes that were transparent from front to back. Dark green fluid mixed with fragments of internal organs gushed out.

Just as Li Fei attacked Gu Li, a dark light flashed, and Sheng Lu swung his tail needle, taking the opportunity to attack him.

Sheng Lu's tail needle can disappear into the void and then suddenly reappear from the void, making it unpredictable and difficult to dodge.

When the tail needle appeared above Li Fei's head, it was only a hair's breadth away from his helmet!
Li Fei made no move, nor did he have time to make a move. Sheng Lu attacked at the same time Li Fei launched his attack, seizing the perfect moment and leaving no opening.

But then, a sword cry, faster than lightning and more piercing than thunder, rang out without warning!

Ji Yiheng's flying sword arrived first despite being delayed, its light condensed like a ray of dawn, striking the Ascending Tail Needle with unparalleled precision!

It's hard to describe how fast this sword was. In the hundreds of years since Sheng Lu became a ninth-grade beast, this was the first time he had encountered someone who could hit him after he launched an attack with his tail needle.

The deafening clang of metal clashing was deafening, and an overwhelming force struck, sending Sheng Lu's indestructible tail needle flying high into the air.

A clearly visible notch was suddenly burst open on the tip of the needle!

"Let's attack together, kill this human first, and destroy this sword!"

Sheng Lu shouted.

Before it could finish speaking, Gu Yan, who had been unable to restrain itself any longer, suddenly sprang into action, its four towering arms covered with dark red demonic patterns launching a fierce attack.

The muscles on his left arms were bulging and knotted, his five fingers spread wide like a giant net that covered the sky, and he grabbed the flying sword with a terrifying suction force that could devour everything.

The two arms on the right side were like two ancient demonic mountains colliding violently, one on the left and one on the right, with a terrifying force capable of crushing stars, violently attacking Li Fei in the center, and the space was compressed to the point of groaning under the unbearable pressure!
Almost simultaneously, the enormous body of the Void Pool Clam appeared and disappeared in the void, its giant fins swaying gently.

An invisible force of domain rippled out rapidly like water, instantly freezing and locking the space around Li Fei and his flying sword!
Li Fei raised the sword of the state in his hand and swept it horizontally.

The sword energy erupted once more, but this time it did not sweep across like a river; instead, it spread outwards like continuous mountains and boundless land.

Li Fei seemed to have moved the vast territory of the twenty-three provinces of the Great Blue to the bottom of the Abyss!

The spatial blockade of the Void Pool Clam was immediately broken. Without the obstruction, the flying sword disappeared from its original spot in a flash of light, dodging the arm that Gu Yan grabbed.

After Ji Yiheng acquired prince-level combat power, the portion of his 'limit-breaking' power was used to enhance his sword speed and sword control distance.

The incredible speed of his sword gave him even greater killing power, but the defensive capabilities of the flying sword itself remained at the level of a top-tier immortal.

Therefore, he is typically strong in offense but weak in defense when facing these ninth-grade exotic beasts.

His flying sword could destroy the bodies of these ninth-grade beasts, and it could also be destroyed by these same ninth-grade beasts!
In battle against these ninth-grade exotic beasts, the opponents can make many mistakes, while Ji Yiheng might be forced to retreat if he makes just one mistake.

Fortunately, Li Fei was there to cover for him.

The flying sword departed, heading towards Gu Li, who posed the least threat, thus keeping one enemy occupied for Li Fei.

Li Fei did not dodge, letting Gu Yan's two fleshy palms slap towards him.

Boom——! ! !
The dark golden sword suddenly rose between his palms, and the sun, moon, and stars shone above the mountain peak.

It was like two mountains crashing into a mountain in the middle from the left and right. The surrounding space was visibly and frantically caved inward, twisted, and torn apart under the impact, unleashing a devastating shockwave!
Sword Peak stood firm and unmoving.

Gu Yan's Devouring Domain operated wildly, black energy surging, attempting to erode and devour the sword peak. However, the glorious national fortune firmly blocked it from entering, slowing down its devouring process.

The next second, the mountain peak disappeared, replaced by a ray of brilliant light, within which the image of the six realms of reincarnation revolved endlessly, with power pushing it layer by layer to reach a new peak!

Two tiny cracks appeared almost simultaneously in the palms of Gu Yan's two giant hands.

Immediately afterwards, the cracks spread and expanded like a spider web.

The incredibly tough demonic hand's muscles, bones, and scales, like rotten wood cut by a divine weapon, were neatly severed along the path of that dazzling light!

Dark purple demonic blood gushed out from the severed hand like a burst dam, turning into a torrential rain of blood.

The giant fins of the Xuchi Clam and the tail sting of the Sheng Lu attacked Li Fei almost simultaneously.

With a flash of sword light, Ji Yiheng manipulated his flying sword to once again deflect Sheng Lu's tail needle for Li Fei, while Li Fei once again used [Swept Away the Sky] to block the giant fin that was like an axe that could split the heavens.

When his mastery of both magic and martial arts advances further, and he is able to integrate [Eternal Stability] into his martial arts, the defense of [Turning the Tide] becomes even stronger.

What's more, it's now blessed by the nation's fortunes!
One man, one sword, and four ninth-grade mythical beasts engage in a fierce battle beneath the abyss.

Golden light and demonic energy intertwined, and sword energy and beast roars resounded together!
Relying on his fast sword speed, Ji Yiheng kept moving back and forth between Gu Li and Sheng Lu, managing to temporarily restrain the two ninth-grade beasts by himself!

The spatial confinement of the Void Pool Clam and the Devouring Domain of the Gu Yan could restrain Ji Yiheng's flying sword, but these two ninth-grade beasts were held back by Li Fei.

Whenever these ninth-grade beasts tried to join forces to lock down Ji Yiheng's flying sword, Li Fei would risk being hit several times to forcefully unleash his power and break the blockade for Ji Yiheng.

Under the cover of Li Fei, who was an unparalleled meat shield, Ji Yiheng's flying sword was able to move freely among these ninth-grade exotic beasts and continuously inflict damage.

For a time, Li Fei and Ji Yiheng, working together, were surprisingly evenly matched!

However, Li Fei knew that this was only temporary.

If they continue fighting, they'll definitely be the ones to lose.

Because our side has too little room for error, if we make even one mistake, the situation will immediately collapse!

Moreover, in a protracted war, Ji Yiheng would definitely not be able to keep up with him and these ninth-grade exotic beasts.

Moreover, a prolonged war would also deplete the nation's resources.

It is certainly worthwhile to risk a portion of the nation's destiny for a principle that has no owner.

However, if the nation's fortune is depleted too much, dragging down the Great Blue Dynasty that has finally returned to its peak, then it would be a loss that outweighs the gains.

However, even though he knew that continuing the fight would be disadvantageous to his side, Li Fei still attacked fiercely and showed no sign of backing down!
Judging from his aura, killing Jiao Yuan wasn't enough for him; he wanted to kill another ninth-grade beast!
"I do not intend to absorb this principle."

As Li Fei was fighting, he suddenly spoke in his mind.

"Then what are you fighting us for?"

Gu Yan asked as he threw a punch.

Li Fei: "Just because I don't use it myself doesn't mean I can't let others use it. Or, you can use it too."

"Human, what are you trying to say?" These words alerted Sheng Lu.

Li Fei: "I said, you can have this Dao Principle too. However, there is only one Dao Principle, so there is only one spot available."

"Ha ha ha ha--"

Sheng Lu laughed loudly, "Humans, such childish provocations are an insult to our wisdom!"

Gu Yan: "Why should I believe you would reject this principle?"

Sheng Lu: "."

Li Fei laughed: "Because I don't think much of it!"

"What did you say?"

This time, even the usually silent Gu Li joined the chat.

Li Fei said proudly, "If I wanted a Dao Principle, I would cultivate it myself. I don't care for this kind of Dao Principle!"

Ever since witnessing Lin Tianyi's [Great Dao Master], he has begun to look forward to the Dao principles he will condense in the future.

Why would they even bother with the mere principles of evil?

Upon hearing this, even though Sheng Lu wanted to say something, he fell silent.

They would scoff if others said such things.

But when a human who had just killed Jiao Yuan said such a thing, they had no choice but to believe it!

Yes, humans can reach higher limits on their own, so why would they need to seize such a Dao principle?
"Human, why should I believe you will give me the Dao principles afterward?"

This time, it was Gu Yan who spoke first, once again.

However, it did not reveal its inner thoughts publicly, but communicated with Li Fei privately.

“I can use the blood in my hands to sign the oath.”

Li Fei's answer caused Gu Yan's offensive to pause.

It glanced at the wisp of life-source blood from Jiao Yuan in Li Fei's hand.

It knew that this thing could indeed be used to sign oaths, and that they were extremely binding!

More than 500 years ago, it and several other ninth-grade beasts witnessed the human powerhouse kill Jiao Ming and then use Jiao Ming's blood to make a vow on the Abyss.

Gu Yan was somewhat tempted.

"What do you need me to do for you to give me the Dao?"

"Serve me for a hundred years."

"I can't possibly serve you for this long, and I certainly can't leave the Abyss!"

Gu Yan roared angrily.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of the Great Blue Ancestor more than 500 years ago, it was filled with apprehension towards the human world above the Abyss.

Today, it encountered Li Fei, a 'monster' who clearly lacked Dao principles yet was able to kill Jiao Yuan, which intensified its fear.

"That means there's nothing to talk about. I'll talk to them."

Li Fei said calmly.

Gu Yan was furious and intensified his attack.

While using [Save the Sky] to defend himself, Li Fei also chatted with the other three ninth-grade exotic beasts.

The reason is to have a fight first, and then talk about terms.

It was because he knew that these strange beasts would only submit to powerful forces.

If he and Ji Yiheng failed to demonstrate power on par with these ninth-grade beasts, they would not be qualified to negotiate with them.

Li Fei knew that a prolonged battle would be disadvantageous to his side, but these ninth-grade exotic beasts were unaware of this.

They have been away from the human world for too long.

They knew neither Ji Yiheng's background nor the background of the Great Blue Dynasty.

If they continue fighting, the example of Jiao Yuan is right before their eyes, and these ninth-grade beasts will have to consider the consequences.

In their view, continuing to fight Li Fei was a losing proposition, and they didn't know if any other powerful humans would come to their aid.

If one of them were to defect, the balance of power would immediately tip!

This is the room for negotiation that Li Fei has secured for himself.

"Serve you for a hundred years? You're dreaming!"

"I cannot leave the Abyss."

"Human, you're playing me!"

However, Gu Li, Sheng Lu, and Xu Chi Han all gave the same answer as Gu Yan.

Li Fei frowned secretly.

The best outcome, of course, would be for him to sign a contract with a ninth-grade mythical beast and make it work for him.

However, these strange beasts were very resistant to going to the human world.

But on second thought, Li Fei felt it was understandable.

Killing a top-tier expert might bring no benefits whatsoever, but instead incur a heavy price.

This can be seen from the fact that the Great Blue Dynasty killed Qingxu first, and then Qiming.

But killing a ninth-grade exotic beast brings far too many benefits!

Legendary level nine divine weapons and level nine divine armor are made by using the source blood of a level nine exotic beast and some of its body materials.

In addition, it can also be used to refine magical artifacts.

The Heavenly Rank's natal magic weapon uses a mid-grade 3 implant, but it can also use a top-grade 3 implant, which would be more powerful.

If a ninth-grade exotic beast suddenly appeared in the human world, it could very well attract top-tier experts to surround and kill it!

Therefore, these four ninth-grade exotic beasts were all afraid of being tricked out by Li Fei and then killed.

After all, it was Li Fei who signed the oath; no one else signed it with them.

“I am the Duke of the most powerful empire in human history, and I can guarantee your safety.”

Li Fei changed his story:
“This can be written into the oath.”

He negotiated with four strange beasts simultaneously, constantly changing the conditions he proposed.

The clashes between the two sides seemed as dangerous as before, but in reality, they had both begun to "slack off" in secret.

At one moment, a giant fin suddenly emerged from the void and slashed towards Gu Yan.

Another giant fin emerged from the void and slashed towards Sheng Lu.

Finally, a giant tail covered in black scales descended from above, like a mountain pressing down, crushing towards Gu Li.

The Void Pool Clam attacks three Rank 9 Beasts simultaneously!
At the same time, Li Fei attacked Gu Yan, the strongest among them, while Ji Yiheng's flying sword slashed towards Sheng Lu.

The balance has been broken!
"Void Pond Cock——"

Gu Yan roared in anger.

It was still haggling with Li Fei, but it didn't expect that Li Fei had already reached an agreement with Xu Chihan!

In its view, it was the strongest, and joining forces with Li Fei was the safest option.

I finally had a rare opportunity to genuinely want to collaborate with someone, but I wasn't even considered?

boom--

This space suddenly shattered like glass, and the power of the void transformed into a storm that raged forth!

For the first time, Li Fei activated the nation's destiny with maximum efficiency, no longer concerned about losses, and unleashed his strongest move, "Together We Stand," borrowing not only a portion of Ji Yiheng's power but also a portion of Xu Chihan's void power!

Sword energy, like the Milky Way pouring down from the heavens, erupted beneath this abyss—

Gu Yan, Sheng Lu, and Gu Li were all enveloped by the storm of sword energy!

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Li Fei used the [Boundless Distance] technique, stepping into the void with the source blood and the Dao principles, disappearing from the spot.

He has attained enlightenment!
