Chapter 232

The great sun was in the sky, its light illuminating all things.

The entire Glory Plaza was a vast expanse of white, and nothing could be seen clearly.

Everyone felt as if they were in a furnace, feeling incomparably scorching heat!

"The teacher was indeed prepared."

Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief and then took the lead in taking action.

At this moment, almost everyone present was 'blinded', and Xu Jing's attention was entirely on Hao Yi; this was the perfect time for him to strike!

Relying on his superior perception, Li Fei rushed toward the direction where he remembered Lord Yan Shijin being.

He once again unleashed the Jin Gang Seal: Roc, keeping himself at high speed.

Very quickly, cries of alarm arose everywhere.

Lord Yan Shijin was currently surrounded by a group of guards, but not a single one of these guards was a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse.

The four Great Mages of the Possession stage from the General Court of Justice were indeed also in the crowd, but they were currently affected by the 'Dao Power' erupted by Hao Yi in the air, like ordinary people hit by a 'flashbang', and their perception and reaction to the outside world were severely affected.

In this way, no one could stop Li Fei.

He rushed toward the crowd!

The guards on the perimeter were very professional bodyguards with rich protection experience.

In this situation, there was no need for anyone to give an order; all the guards spontaneously closed their defensive formation, forming a very dense position.

They held heavy, specially-made shields in their hands, wore heavy armor, and simultaneously exerted their innate Qi or strength to protect their bodies with all their might.

These guards had no intention of counterattacking at all; they tried to rely on their dense formation and heavy equipment to turn into a human wall, forcibly blocking Li Fei's charge.

But Li Fei was strong not only in strength, but also in pure power!

Once again unleashing the Jin Gang Seal: Dragon-Elephant, the power brought by 【Blood Rage】 doubled, surpassing the limits of his body.

Crack!

Li Fei stomped his foot, shattering the marble beneath him; the earth shook, and cracks spread forward.

Before the person arrived, the gale had already arrived!

The guards blocking directly in front felt as if a huge, strange beast was charging at them!

Li Fei turned sideways and slammed his shoulder into the black shield directly in front.

The shield instantly dented inward; the guard behind it, wearing heavy armor and covered in a layer of pale cyan innate Qi, couldn't react in time, and the arm holding the heavy shield was snapped with a 'crack'.

Then the shield pressed against his chest armor; the chest armor deformed, cracked, and continued to squeeze inward; then the ribs broke, squeezing inward...

This guard was like a sandwich cookie hit by a heavy hammer!

Finally, the guard's feet left the ground, and he was forcibly squeezed backward by the immense power.

Behind him were guards also holding heavy shields and wearing heavy armor; they also encountered the same process as him, continuing to squeeze backward.

Then the third, the fourth...

Li Fei knocked down six guards in one go!

Blood flowed out from their deformed heavy armor, staining the white marble floor beneath them red.

Li Fei rushed in through the gap created by the human wall.

If he were using strength to fight the enemy, he would need to spend some effort to break through this human wall.

But relying on brute force, he only needed to slam into it once.

Rushing into a group of officials, a chorus of exclamations rang in his ears.

Relying on listening to locate his position, Li Fei arrived in front of Lord Yan Shijin.

"Save..."

Lord Yan Shijin had just shouted one word when he was grabbed by the neck by Li Fei and pulled out of the crowd amidst a chorus of exclamations.

Taking advantage of the fact that the gap hadn't been filled yet, Li Fei rushed out with Lord Yan Shijin.

When the shining light in the air gradually retracted, Li Fei returned to the viewing platform.

"Xu Jing!!!"

Li Fei shouted loudly, "Release Shangguan Xiao, or I'll kill him!"

He pinched the neck of Lord Yan Shijin with one hand and lifted this Deputy Inspector of the Supervision Department up.

Lord Yan Shijin was pinched until his face turned red, but he still maintained the composure of a big shot, not shouting or screaming in panic.

On the execution platform, from the moment Hao Yi started breaking through his realm, Xu Jing had placed all his attention on him.

Hearing Li Fei's threat, he didn't even turn his head to look, saying indifferently:

"Then kill him."

Lord Yan Shijin: "..."

Li Fei: "..."

"Xu Jing, you must save Inspector Yan!"

Behind, an official from the investigation team couldn't help but shout loudly after hearing Xu Jing's words.

Xu Jing twitched the corner of his mouth and ignored the others.

He looked at Hao Yi in the air, his eyes becoming extremely excited:

"Hao Yi, you really didn't disappoint me!"

"Now, you are qualified to die at my hands!"

He would care about the lives of Lord Yan Shijin and the others, but only on the premise that their lives would not affect the grudge between him and Hao Yi.

Although Hao Yi's breakthrough surprised him, he was not afraid; instead, he became even more excited because of it!

In the air, Hao Yi had already stabilized his realm.

He successfully built the martial arts foundation 【Core of Steel】 and became a Martial Arts Master!

What he couldn't complete more than thirty years ago, he had finally completed today.

Facing Xu Jing's provocation, he said nothing, just suddenly dropped from the air, holding his saber and slashing down at Xu Jing below!

The 'sun' that had just disappeared appeared again, only this time it was no longer the great sun in the sky, but—

Sun Meteor!

As this great sun fell, the world was brilliant, and the scorching saber intent filled the entire plaza, making people feel the heat from the inside out, as if their souls were being burned!

This was just the feeling of being affected by this move.

Li Fei only now knew that his teacher's saber intent was actually so overbearing!

"Well done!"

Xu Jing laughed loudly and suddenly leaped upward.

Rumble—

As he exerted force to leap, the execution platform below was stomped into collapse by him!

Li Fei weighed whether to rush over to save people, but he was afraid that he would interfere with the battle between Hao Yi and Xu Jing and accidentally become a bad teammate.

Just as he was hesitating, Hao Yi and Xu Jing had already collided in the air.

Boom!!!!

The huge explosion was deafening, making everyone on the plaza temporarily deaf, their eardrums almost shattered.

A 'mirror surface' appeared at the point where the two collided, rapidly spreading to the surroundings, almost covering the entire Datong District!

The next second, Xu Jing fell from the air, landing near the execution platform, smashing a large pit into the marble floor.

Smoke and dust filled the air.

Subsequently, the 'little sun' that Hao Yi had turned into also fell, smashing into this smoke and dust.

Boom!!!

The plaza shook violently.

At the collapsed execution platform, two guards responsible for the execution looked at each other; one grabbed Shangguan Xiao, who was lying limply on the ground, and the other held a saber to Shangguan Xiao's neck, then shouted loudly:

"Hao Yi, if you don't surrender now, we'll kill her!"

The two of them had already seen the situation clearly and knew that Hao Yi had come to save Shangguan Xiao, and that the 'Blood-Faced Ghost' who had suddenly appeared was the same.

So the two decisively took action, using Shangguan Xiao's life to threaten Hao Yi.

They felt that their chance to make a contribution had arrived!

"Oh no!"

Li Fei's heart sank, and he was about to use Lord Yan Shijin in his hand to threaten the other party not to act rashly.

As a result, before he could speak to threaten them, the two guards beside Shangguan Xiao suddenly had bloodshot eyes, followed by bleeding from their seven orifices, and finally their hearts exploded and they died.

Not only that, the remaining few guards at the execution platform also all died from ruptured heart vessels!

"No one is allowed to interfere—"

Xu Jing's voice, full of killing intent, resounded throughout the venue.

It was he who took action to kill all the guards at the execution platform!

He came to this setup today with the mindset of a superior, a victor, and a conqueror.

What he wanted was to witness with his own eyes Hao Yi's state of mind shattering and him dying in pain.

If that didn't happen, then he would personally take action to solve the other party and end this knot that had been in his heart for decades.

Relying on threatening Shangguan Xiao to make Hao Yi give up voluntarily—this option had never even appeared in Xu Jing's mind.

If he won in this way, his knot would only be deeper.

This was something Xu Jing absolutely could not accept.

What he wanted was for Hao Yi to strike with all his might, struggle desperately, and still lose to him in the end.

So anyone who tried to interfere in the battle between him and Hao Yi, trying to influence him ending this grudge, was his enemy!

For a time, smoke and dust filled the area near the execution platform in the center of the plaza, the ground shook again and again, and huge roaring sounds rang out one after another.

Two Martial Arts Masters were unfolding a life-and-death struggle here!

Xu Jing's Water Control supernatural ability went without saying; the means to directly affect the blood in others' bodies could be called a finishing move.

Even as a Martial Arts Master, Hao Yi also needed to consume a large amount of Dao Power to protect himself, so as not to be controlled by Xu Jing and have his blood controlled, thereby being severely injured.

As for Hao Yi's own Refining Objects supernatural ability, it looked like an auxiliary supernatural ability, but in fact, it was a very versatile supernatural ability that was both offensive and defensive!

The characteristic of being able to refine all things was actually very powerful; the key lay in how to exert it.

For example, Hao Yi refined all the strength Xu Jing attacked him with, changed its 'physical properties', and refined this strength into shards of frost, thereby becoming incomparably fragile, shattering at a touch, and completely losing its threat.

Hao Yi also refined the marble and soil that exploded on the ground into steel, turning it into a cage to trap Xu Jing inside.

Although this cage couldn't trap Xu Jing for long, it could cause an impact on the other party at a critical moment.

Besides this, Hao Yi's main means was refining his own strength.

When Xu Jing attacked him with a palm, he refined his protective Heaven and Earth Furnace strength into a shield that looked like a crystal.

The Heaven and Earth Furnace strength, which was not good at defense, greatly increased its defensive power after changing its 'physical properties'!

Then Hao Yi slashed at Xu Jing, and the Dao Power based on the Heaven and Earth Furnace strength turned into a sea of fire to envelop Xu Jing.

Xu Jing pushed out with both palms, freezing this sea of fire.

The high-level strength he cultivated was the Ice Soul Suppressing God strength, which could freeze both matter and spirit simultaneously!

But the next second, the sea of fire was refined into thick earth by Hao Yi.

The five elements generate each other; fire generates earth, so this refining was very labor-saving and also very rapid.

After converting to earth-attribute strength, it was very difficult for Xu Jing's Ice Soul Suppressing God strength to suppress it.

Because earth overcomes water!

This was the power of the Refining Objects supernatural ability; Hao Yi could possess a variety of means and had rich methods for dealing with enemies.

If it weren't for the fact that Hao Yi needed to divert most of his mental energy and strength to resist the Water Control supernatural ability, Xu Jing would have already lost.

Even so, as Hao Yi became more and more proficient with the Refining Objects supernatural ability, combining various means with his own saber technique, his combat power began to steadily improve, gradually pressing Xu Jing into a disadvantage!

Although Xu Jing broke through his realm earlier than Hao Yi, everything seemed to be the same as back then; in the situation where both were in the same realm, he was never Hao Yi's opponent.

After the two exchanged dozens of moves, Hao Yi seized the opportunity and slashed at Xu Jing.

Xu Jing's protective strength had already been refined into ice by Hao Yi first, shattering instantly, and then the saber light slashed over, like a great sun sweeping across!

Xu Jing didn't dodge or evade, letting the saber light slash him, and he slapped Hao Yi's chest with a palm.

When the saber light reached his body, a stream of black water suddenly appeared on Xu Jing's body surface, like an abyss without a bottom, directly swallowing Hao Yi's saber light!

The next instant, Xu Jing hit Hao Yi's chest with a palm, and black water also appeared in his palm, instantly swallowing Hao Yi's protective strength.

Black water, this was the means Xu Jing used when he defeated the 'Saber King' Gu Xianfeng on Tiefeng Mountain back then!
