Chapter 178

On the long street, Li Fei, wearing an evil ghost mask, stood with a blade, and beside his feet was the corpse split into two halves.

"Go!"

The remaining four Seven Underworld Guards completely lost their fighting spirit and turned around to run.

Seeing the Seven Underworld Guards withdraw, Lou Yujun didn't hesitate and also turned around to escape quickly.

She was working for a "salary" and didn't need to fight for her life.

Swish—

Li Fei stepped forward to chase Lou Yujun.

The remaining few Seven Underworld Guards ran, so they ran, but he wanted to keep Lou Yujun, this Dao Foundation realm powerhouse.

However, in terms of absolute speed, Lou Yujun was faster; just as she was about to open the distance from Li Fei, suddenly her mind shook violently, falling into a boundless sea of blood!

In the situation where martial artists' blood and energy were surging, fighting spirit was high, and mental willpower was highly concentrated, if the same spell was used continuously in a short period of time, the effect would become worse and worse.

Previously Li Fei had already used 【Blood Might】 on Lou Yujun once, consuming 10 blood souls; this time he directly used the blood souls stored in the "Blood Spring," consuming 21.6!

The mental shock with doubled power hard-controlled Lou Yujun for nearly a second; by the time she came back to her senses, Li Fei had already chased behind her and stabbed with one blade.

At this time, Lou Yujun couldn't dodge or turn around to block in time, and could only burst out Torrent Strength with all her might, forming a waterfall-like barrier behind her.

True Blood Strength was blocked by this layer of barrier, but the Ghost-Slaying Blade that followed closely, under the blessing of violent power, directly penetrated this layer of barrier and stabbed into Lou Yujun's back!

Brush—

The blade body carried blood and penetrated from Lou Yujun's lower abdomen.

This sword powerhouse continued to exert force, wanting to rush out forward and open the distance from Li Fei, but after a surge of Blood Sha Qi surged out from the Ghost-Slaying Blade and exploded in her body, she completely lost the power to resist.

"Pfft—"

Lou Yujun spat out a mouthful of blood.

If it weren't for the fact that the life force of a Dao Foundation realm powerhouse was strong enough, she would have died by now.

Slap! Slap! Slap!

Li Fei slapped Lou Yujun one after another, continuing to use Blood Sha Qi to severely damage the other party's body and implants.

He didn't intend to kill the other party directly, but wanted to capture them alive!

After confirming that Lou Yujun had no power to resist, Li Fei grabbed Lou Yujun's back neck with one hand and lifted this Dao Foundation realm powerhouse in his hand like a chicken.

Thus, the battle ended.

The four Seven Underworld Guards and the special-grade gunmen on the roofs on the left and right all ran away, and only a ground of corpses and Li Fei holding Lou Yujun with one hand remained on the long street.

Suddenly, Li Fei felt vigilant, feeling danger coming from behind.

A black shadow that was almost integrated with the surrounding darkness held a long sword and stabbed at the back of Li Fei's head at an extremely fast speed!

Li Fei had the extraordinary ability of "Danger Sensing"; in the "Body of Domination" state, the sensing ability was further enhanced, and in the "Blood Demon State," the Body of Domination was greatly enhanced, and the sensing ability was the same.

But even with such a strong sensing ability, he only sensed danger when the other party was already within ten meters of him.

Not only that, this assassin moved extremely fast, but didn't bring out half a sound; there were no footsteps or wind sounds.

This was a top-tier assassin, a person sent by the "Shadow King"!

He took action suddenly when Li Fei thought the overall situation was settled and his spirit was most relaxed.

Such an assassin was indeed very terrifying!

The next instant, the long sword in his hand was only an inch away from the back of Li Fei's head.

A surge of True Blood Strength exploded from Li Fei's body, blocking in front of this sword.

Swish—

The long sword contained terrifying strength and instantly pierced through this layer of True Blood Strength.

At the same time, Li Fei lowered his head, his body leaned forward, and he rushed forward.

The assassin added another layer of strength to his hand, and the sword edge pushed forward, stabbing Li Fei in the back.

The level 3 protective clothing was pierced, and then the muscle tissue like granite was pierced.

The assassin urged his strength, and surging sword energy burst out from the tip of his sword, surging into Li Fei's body!

"Got it!"

This assassin's eyes were bright, feeling that he had successfully completed this assassination.

But the next second he noticed something wrong; he didn't feel his sword energy pierce the other party's heart, but instead all the sword energy disappeared like mud sinking into the sea.

This assassin immediately pulled out his sword, wanting to turn around and leave.

But his sword body was firmly locked by Li Fei with powerful muscle tissue and strength, making him unable to pull it out smoothly for the first time.

This assassin chose to abandon the sword without hesitation and retreated.

When he turned around and prepared to escape, Li Fei also completed the turn, and then hit a full-power 【Blood Might】.

The assassin who was preparing to escape with all his might stiffened.

His resistance to spell-type attacks was not as good as Zhang Shan's, nor as good as Lou Yujun's sword heart, so he hadn't struggled out of the sea of blood until Li Fei rushed to his side.

Brush—

Li Fei swung his blade calmly.

The head flew high.

A powerful Dao Foundation realm assassin fell here!

On the rooftop of the dance hall in the distance, Feng Sanniang opened her mouth slightly, looking at this scene in shock.

When that assassin suddenly took action and successfully stabbed Li Fei, she thought that this Green-Faced Ghost would still die here tonight.

Yet she didn't expect that after being stabbed by such a sword, the other party could complete a counter-kill instantly like someone who was fine!

"How strong is his defensive power? What exactly does it take to truly kill him?"

Feng Sanniang couldn't help but begin to ponder.

Just at this time, Li Fei, who was still holding Lou Yujun with one hand, turned around, his gaze passing through a distance of more than a thousand meters, and met Feng Sanniang on the rooftop.

Feng Sanniang was startled, a charming smile appeared on her face, and she bowed slightly to Li Fei in the distance.

The two gazes met, completing a "dialogue" across the air:

"Remember our agreement."

"Please rest assured, Master~"

More than an hour later, Li Fei, who confirmed that he hadn't been followed, brought Lou Yujun into a courtyard.

This was a new stronghold he had the Qingyuan City Management Company build in Datong Prefecture city.

Before coming here, he had already sprinkled rooster blood on himself and Lou Yujun in advance.

"Ghost Master."

There were people from the company guarding the courtyard; seeing Li Fei, they bowed with awe on their faces.

Li Fei threw Lou Yujun, who was already in a coma, to the ground, pointed at the other party and said:

"Find special iron chains to lock her up, feed her Qi-dispersing pills, and keep an eye on her during this time."

"Yes, Ghost Master, please rest assured, the subordinate will definitely handle it well!"

Two subordinates of the company took the order.

Lou Yujun's body was severely damaged by Blood Sha Qi, so Li Fei wasn't worried that the other party could escape.

He wanted to keep this Dao Foundation realm powerhouse to negotiate terms with the Duanmu family.

After dealing with Lou Yujun, he left this stronghold.

On the way, Li Fei looked at the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl in his body:

【Level: 14, 1%

Blood Souls: 242

Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage, Blood Sha, Blood Might, Blood Spring

Transformation Skill: Blood Demon】

After nearly two months of accumulation, the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl was not far from upgrading; this battle tonight allowed him to absorb a lot of energy, and it finally successfully upgraded.

This upgrade increased blood souls by 26; with one more upgrade, the total number of Li Fei's blood souls would exceed 300!

He checked the "Blood Spring" in his body again; the number of blood souls stored in it had become 71.8, because he used two full-power 【Blood Might】.

Next, he could store 2.42 blood souls in it every day, and the storage speed was nearly 15% higher than before.

Besides the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl successfully upgrading, Li Fei also felt that the 【Illusion Leaf】 implant in the center of his eyebrows had an anomaly.

It was as if something was about to break through his eyebrows and grow out.

This was a precursor to entering the Body-Breaking stage from the Embryo-Nurturing stage.

The 【Illusion Leaf】 in Li Fei's body had been in the Embryo-Nurturing stage for more than forty days; if he broke through to the Body-Breaking stage tonight, his speed of breaking through would be faster than Zhao Yi's.

Zhao Renjie, the great mage who cultivated to the Possession stage, took more than a hundred days to break through from the Embryo-Nurturing stage to the Body-Breaking stage, while Zhao Yi only took fifty-three days.

Although there was the assistance of the Dream Order, one could also see Zhao Yi's talent.

Theoretically speaking, her lowest limit in the future would be the Possession stage!

And now, Li Fei's speed of breaking through even exceeded Zhao Yi's.

"Originally expected to take a few more days, is it possible that it was stimulated by tonight's battle?"

Li Fei guessed in his heart.

He suffered the "Dragon Might" urged by Zhang Shan tonight; it was possible that such a mental attack caused the 【Illusion Leaf】 to be stimulated, thereby stepping into the Body-Breaking stage in advance.

More than an hour later, Li Fei didn't return to the Martial Arts University, but walked into another unmanned stronghold himself.

He had prepared the pills needed for the 【Illusion Leaf】 implant in this stronghold.

After taking the pills, the strange feeling coming from the center of his eyebrows became stronger and stronger, lighting up a light green leaf-shaped pattern.

Li Fei felt that something was drilling into his scalp.

After the martial arts-type implants were cultivated to the Qi Transformation stage, the "branches" would spread all over the martial artist's body, except for the brain.

And the spell-type implants were just the opposite; even if cultivated to the God Transformation stage, the place they occupied was still only the brain.

So theoretically, these two types of implants could coexist, occupying different parts of the human body and not interfering with each other.

It was a pity that the reality was that these two types of implants would affect each other, and the higher the realm, the more so.

When the 【Illusion Leaf】 was about to break through to the Body-Breaking stage, the 【Steel Armor】 implant in Li Fei's body immediately became restless.

This time, even if Li Fei forcibly suppressed it with powerful control, it was somewhat strenuous.

He wasn't panicked about this and took out a bottle of pills he had prepared in advance.

This was the "Ice Continuation Pill," specially used to alleviate the conflict between metal-attribute implants and wood-attribute implants.

Metal generates water, water generates wood.

【Steel Armor】 was metal-attribute, 【Illusion Leaf】 was wood-attribute, so it was suitable for the "Ice Continuation Pill," a water-attribute pill, to reconcile.

During the Embryo-Nurturing stage, Li Fei had Shangguan Xiao help him purchase "Ice Continuation Pills" on the black market in advance; the price of this pill wasn't particularly expensive, 39 yuan per pill.

It was just that it would cause damage to the human body's meridians; if taken for a long time, the meridians of the whole body would atrophy and block, thereby affecting the operation of innate Qi and strength in the body, and even affecting the implants!

This was the reason why dual cultivation of spells and martial arts couldn't reach the later stage; no one could always rely on pills to solve the conflict between the two types of implants.

However, these were not problems for Li Fei.

He took an Ice Continuation Pill, the medicinal effect was absorbed by the two implants, and the damage caused was transferred by the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl...

Soon, the 【Steel Armor】 implant was no longer restless and returned to calm.

Li Fei could concentrate on breaking through the realm.

He sat cross-legged on the bed, began to practice the Dream Nightmare Sect's visualization method, and meditated on a towering tree in his mind...

This lasted for more than two hours, and the leaf-shaped pattern in the center of Li Fei's eyebrows gradually faded.

He slowly opened his eyes, and as his thoughts moved, a faint spell fluctuation emitted from his body.

【Illusion Leaf】 successfully broke through to the Body-Breaking stage!

From now on, Li Fei could cast spells.

Of course, not all spells could be cast; he could only cast spells related to the 【Illusion Leaf】 implant.

With his current realm, there were a total of three spells he could cast:

Hypnosis, Illusion, and the Art of One Leaf Obstructing the Eyes!

First was Hypnosis, which could only take effect on ordinary people, and it had to be the kind of person whose willpower was relatively weak; one could influence the other party's thinking through casting.

This type of spell was the favorite of major evil sects.

Then was Illusion; after releasing it on the target, it could make outsiders see multiple illusions of the target, making it difficult to confirm the real body.

This type of spell was usually used in battle; for example, after casting it on a martial artist, others would see all illusions when looking at him; if one wanted to deal with this martial artist with a gun, the difficulty would be very great.

The final "Art of One Leaf Obstructing the Eyes" was a characteristic spell of the Dream Nightmare Sect, also called Invisibility!

After casting the spell on the target, others would subconsciously ignore the existence of the target, as if they hadn't seen the target at all, thereby achieving the effect of invisibility.

Of course, such invisibility wasn't true invisibility; if one made a big movement, or attacked others, the invisibility effect would be broken immediately.

Li Fei remembered the assassin he encountered tonight; he suspected that the other party might have had a similar spell cast on him before taking action, which was why he had such strong concealment ability, making him not sense it at all.

"Might as well try the effect."

Li Fei suddenly had a playful heart.

Compared with martial arts, the spells of this world actually made him more interested, because he always felt they were more mysterious.

Sorcerers in the Body-Breaking stage must rely on relevant materials and prepare rituals in advance to cast spells, but Li Fei had the Dream Order in his hand, so he didn't need to be so troublesome.

He could directly cast spells with the help of the Dream Order, and the effect of casting spells would be better.

Taking the Dream Order out from his bosom, Li Fei operated according to the spell-casting content recorded in the booklet Zhao Yi gave him.

His thoughts moved, and the green leaf-shaped pattern lit up in the center of his eyebrows again, and then a spell fluctuation was injected into the Dream Order.

Li Fei muttered words, all of which were very awkward syllables; for this, he had specially taken out an hour every night to practice before.

Soon, Li Fei had a mysterious feeling, and the Dream Order in his hand shot out a ray of light, hitting him.

"Success?"

Li Fei felt that the 【Illusion Leaf】 implant emitted a sense of fatigue.

With the cultivation of the early Body-Breaking stage, he could only cast spells a few times in a short period of time.

Opening the door, Li Fei walked out and soon arrived on the street.

He walked to the side of a passerby, and the other party seemed to have not seen him at all, continuing on his way without looking sideways.

Li Fei stretched out his hand and waved a few times in front of the other party, but the other party still had no reaction.

One leaf obstructing the eyes, success!
