Chapter 241: Slashing the Night

Light tore through the darkness.

After exchanging blows with Guan Haoxuan last time, Li Fei realized that the "Infinite Brightness Fire" in the "Red-Sound Fire Diamond Method" happened to counter Guan Haoxuan's Dao Strength, so he had prepared his tactics in advance this time.

Li Fei, after all, was not a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse like Guan Haoxuan who was full of spirit and had practiced Dao Strength through his own cultivation; he used ultimate techniques to master Dao Strength in advance, so he was not as free in control as Guan Haoxuan.

He first let Guan Haoxuan act, while simultaneously circulating Diamond Strength in his body to prepare for unleashing "Infinite Brightness Fire," and finally used it by surprise.

Infinite light propped open 【Extreme Night】 and also illuminated this section of tracks on the hillside.

Beams of light hit Guan Haoxuan, giving him the feeling of being pierced by ten thousand arrows!

【Extreme Night】 was suddenly broken; Guan Haoxuan suffered backlash in both spirit and strength, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Fortunately, he had the dark-attribute core extraordinary ability "Abyss Heart," which could absorb attacks at the spiritual level and slowly "digest" them into his own power of mind.

Compared to Zhang Shan's "Dragon Might," "Abyss Heart" is a defensive spiritual extraordinary ability.

Relying on "Abyss Heart," Guan Haoxuan did not lose his spirit, made a timely response, and retreated in surprise:

"Diamond Eight Parts? Red-Sound Fire?!"

He recognized the ultimate technique Li Fei used, but did not see through Li Fei's identity at the first opportunity.

Because he did not know Li Fei had mastered the "Red-Sound Fire Diamond Method" at Wu University, and it was very difficult for him to connect a person who had practiced martial arts for less than a year with this powerhouse in front of him who possessed Dao Foundation stage peak combat power.

No matter how First in History he was, it was impossible to be this monstrous!

Because his control over "Infinite Brightness Fire" was not proficient enough, Li Fei could not quickly connect to the next move after using the ultimate move, so by the time Guan Haoxuan began to retreat, he had just finished the move and stepped forward to chase.

On top of the carriage behind, Wen Ke happened to see the scene of 【Extreme Night】 being torn open by light and couldn't help but be stunned.

She also recognized this ultimate technique and immediately associated it with Li Fei!

The "Red-Sound Fire Diamond Method" of the "Diamond Eight Parts" only exists in three places:

First, the Buddhist holy land Pudu Temple.

Second, the Imperial Palace.

Third, Wu'an University.

Those who can practice the "Diamond Eight Parts" in Pudu Temple are either contemporary Buddhist sons or Buddhist great virtues, all of whom are famous figures in the world, so the person who came could not be from Pudu Temple.

Then the person who came was either a Royal Guest sent by the Imperial Court or came from Wu'an University.

If the Imperial Court really wanted to take action against the officials of the provincial capital, there was no need to use such methods.

So the most likely source of this "Diamond Eight Parts" was Wu'an University.

And Li Fei was the only Wu University student who had learned the "Diamond Eight Parts" in recent years.

"But... how is it possible?"

With surprise and doubt, Wen Ke leaped out of the carriage and pointed her finger forward.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Over a thousand dark golden rays of light illuminated the night again!

Li Fei had witnessed Wen Ke's Extreme Gang Rainbow Shadow Strength last time, so this time he did not distinguish which of these strengths were real and which were fake, directly charging forward against the attack.

The strength was like dense bullets, constantly hitting Li Fei, first breaking his outermost Diamond Blood Demon Strength; following the explosion of blood mist, Li Fei unleashed Diamond Strength to resist under the cover of the blood mist.

Extreme Gang Rainbow Shadow Strength is high-level strength and also focuses on sharpness; Wen Ke's strength was even more fused with four types of Innate Qi, so even with the powerful defense of Diamond Strength, it couldn't block the constant impact of the strength and was ultimately broken.

However, after breaking the protective Diamond Strength, there were still two layers of defense: Level 4 protective clothing and "Tyrant Body." After both were broken, Li Fei ultimately did not lose many Blood Souls.

The blood mist exploded, and Li Fei continued to pounce toward Guan Haoxuan.

Guan Haoxuan had already calmed the backlash of strength in his body and stopped retreating, holding his sword horizontally in front of him.

Seeing Wen Ke rush up, he no longer had the idea of continuing to duel Li Fei one-on-one.

It was not that he felt he definitely couldn't win against Li Fei, but he knew that once Wen Ke entered a combat state, she wouldn't give anyone face!

Li Fei stepped forward and charged, throwing a punch, and the Diamond Blood Demon Strength smashed onto the long sword Guan Haoxuan held horizontally in front of him.

The blood-red crystals were swallowed by a bottomless abyss and disappeared without a trace.

Dao Strength—【Abyss Devour】!

Since Guan Haoxuan had the confidence to impact the Master realm, he naturally practiced more than one type of Dao Strength.

【Extreme Night】 is used for attack, 【Abyss Devour】 is used for defense.

【Abyss Devour】 already had some rudiments of the Black Water supernatural ability, silently resolving Li Fei's strike.

Li Fei's expression remained unchanged, smashing a full-power 【Blood Might】 onto Guan Haoxuan, and then his left fist hit the other party's head.

Guan Haoxuan did not stop at all, his body turning to the left, stepping aside to dodge Li Fei's punch, while simultaneously slashing at Li Fei with his blade.

This was the first time Li Fei had encountered an opponent on whom 【Blood Might】 had no effect; he also stepped out, leaving a phantom in place, dodging Guan Haoxuan's slash.

The two exchanged blows in an instant, pulling out a series of phantoms; the tracks under their feet were shaken into several sections, the steel was shattered, gravel flew in all directions like bullets, and dust filled the air!

Boom—

Li Fei once again punched Guan Haoxuan's long sword, which was received by the other party using 【Abyss Devour】.

The last exchange was just a face-to-face encounter; Li Fei had put all his attention on Xu Jing and didn't pay much attention to Guan Haoxuan.

Exchanging blows again today, he truly felt that this 6.5-level Dao Foundation stage powerhouse was indeed different from those 3rd or 4th-level Dao Foundation stage powerhouses he had killed before.

Even compared to Fan Yan, a 5.5-level powerhouse who also died by his hand, Guan Haoxuan was clearly on another level.

Relying on his mastery of Dao Strength, Guan Haoxuan's combat power was infinitely close to the 7th level!

Moreover, the other party had already witnessed Li Fei's methods before, so his fighting style was more targeted and would not choose to exchange injury for injury like Fan Yan did, relying on strong defense, and ultimately exchanging himself to death...

Just as Li Fei intended to unleash "Infinite Brightness Fire" again, over a thousand dark golden rays of light attacked again.

This time these strengths did not "strafe" toward him like bullets, but turned into ropes, wanting to bind him!

Having had the exchange and observation last time, Wen Ke also had targeted tactics.

She no longer tried to quickly break through Li Fei's defense; after all, this was something Xu Jing had failed to do.

She chose to use strength to control Li Fei; when Fan Yan and Li Fei fought before, they had briefly done this, so she also had the confidence to do it.

For a time, Li Fei's body was surrounded by countless dark golden rays of light, which was quite beautiful.

Li Fei circulated Diamond Seal · Peng in his body, charging and crashing at an extremely fast speed, while simultaneously urging the Diamond Blood Demon Strength, breaking the surrounding rays of light one after another.

But the movement speed of these surrounding rays of light was also very fast, always shrouding Li Fei.

These rays of light seemed to be woven into a large net with extremely strong toughness, and could be repaired at any time; even if Li Fei broke a gap, it would be quickly filled.

Wen Ke has a total of three core extraordinary abilities; besides a water-attribute healing extraordinary ability, she also has a wood-attribute extraordinary ability named "Flying Flower," which can greatly enhance her remote control over strength.

Martial artists can remotely control strength when they break through to the late Qi-Transformation stage and let the strength take shape.

But the further the distance, the more the control will slide in a straight line, and the strength will also accelerate to dissipate.

"Flying Flower" not only makes Wen Ke's control over strength stronger, but the distance also becomes farther, and it can make the strength not dissipate for a long time.

Extreme Gang Rainbow Shadow Strength was originally an extremely sharp and fierce strength, but with the assistance of "Flying Flower," Wen Ke hit the hard strength with flexibility, reaching the realm of combining hardness and softness!

Besides this, Wen Ke's last core extraordinary ability is called—Sinking Edge.

It can allow her to absorb the strength scattered around and attach it to her own armor or weapons.

Wen Ke applied "Sinking Edge" to strength.

Because the Extreme Gang Rainbow Shadow Strength she unleashed was highly condensed, it could also be seen as a kind of metal, so it could absorb the scattered strength around to strengthen itself.

"Sinking Edge" combined with "Flying Flower" allowed these strengths Wen Ke unleashed to constantly absorb scattered strength and then constantly become stronger!

Li Fei broke the surrounding "net" with Diamond Blood Demon Strength time and time again; a lot of strength was scattered, and most of it was absorbed.

He also sensed that the surrounding "net" was constantly becoming stronger and tightening, wanting to bind him to death!

Suddenly, Li Fei stopped sprinting and let this "net" completely shrink and wrap around his body.

Guan Haoxuan, who had been slowly building up momentum and waiting for an opportunity, immediately slashed over upon seeing this!

Li Fei first used Diamond Blood Demon Strength to break through the "net" at several joints, and before Wen Ke could repair the hole, a majestic force erupted from his body, allowing him to break free from this "net."

Surprise appeared in Wen Ke's eyes.

If Li Fei used strength to break free from the "net" she laid down, that would be a comparison of the "micro-manipulation" and flow speed of strength between the two sides, and she was confident she would win steadily.

But Li Fei did not just rely on strength, but also had powerful physical strength, which was beyond her expectation.

Whoosh—

Guan Haoxuan slashed at Li Fei's head while Li Fei was breaking free from the restraint, but only slashed out a shallow wound.

Li Fei immediately returned a punch, Guan Haoxuan blocked with his sword horizontally, and unleashed 【Abyss Devour】 again.

But the next instant, infinite light erupted from Li Fei's right fist.

Infinite Brightness Fire!

Breaking Dao Strength with Dao Strength; fortunately, 【Abyss Devour】 was originally a defensive move, so Guan Haoxuan did not suffer backlash this time, only having his defense broken.

The majestic force landed on his blade, the long sword trembled uncontrollably, smashed into his chest, and knocked him flying backward.

Before Li Fei could step forward to chase, countless rays of light arrived again.

This time Wen Ke did not try to use strength to bind Li Fei's whole body, but fully bound Li Fei's several joints, affecting his movement and moves.

A powerhouse who truly understands combat like her has first-class reaction and adjustment ability when facing battle!

Guan Haoxuan took the opportunity to follow up, slashing Li Fei time and time again.

For a time, the two joined forces and gained the upper hand.

"The two professors taking action is indeed no problem."

On top of the carriage behind, Song Tiansen watched the battle here and said to his companion.

His companion was also a Dao Foundation stage powerhouse, a guest of the Security Department of the provincial capital government building, named Liu Yan.

"This person should be the Green-Faced Ghost ranked third on the Wind and Cloud List."

Liu Yan said solemnly.

Being able to fight one against two and still fight like this when facing the joint attack of the fourth and eighth experts on the Feng Province Wind and Cloud List, that could only be the level of the top three on the Wind and Cloud List.

And such a level of powerhouse is not a Chinese cabbage; how could one suddenly pop out?

"Regardless of whether he is a Green-Faced Ghost or a Blood-Faced Ghost, today let him become a dead ghost!"

Song Tiansen appeared very optimistic.

Liu Yan turned his head to look at him and did not speak.

The two continued to watch the battle.

It was not that they were not martial, not willing to go up and besiege, but Wen Ke and Guan Haoxuan cooperated very well, and if they intervened rashly, it would be easy to disrupt others' rhythm.

Moreover, their main duty was to protect the officials of the investigation team; what if there were enemies waiting in the dark?

So the two dared not leave this carriage easily.

The battle continued like this for nearly two minutes; the ground where the three exchanged blows could no longer find a single intact track, and everywhere was pitted, as if baptized by artillery shells!

Suddenly, Li Fei's body expanded rapidly, his height rising from 1.65 meters to 1.9 meters, and his physique becoming more sturdy.

Wen Ke and Guan Haoxuan had both seen Li Fei use this move at the execution ground that day, so after seeing Li Fei's physique change, they both secretly increased their vigilance, reserving strength to prepare to deal with the changes.

Several rays of light like ropes bound Li Fei's right elbow joint, wrist joint, and the knee joints of both legs.

As Li Fei's physique grew larger, the strength on these several joints was broken by the majestic force!

Wen Ke felt that at this moment, what she was binding was no longer a human, but an exotic beast!

Surprise grew in her heart; even those Dao Foundation stage powerhouses who specifically practiced physical strength, plus the blessing of extraordinary abilities, might not have such terrifying explosive power as Li Fei.

Li Fei disappeared from his original place instantly, then appeared on the left side of Guan Haoxuan's body, throwing a punch.

The air around the fist rippled like water waves.

Guan Haoxuan turned around and swung his blade, preparing to unleash 【Abyss Devour】 to defend again.

But this time, his "Abyss Heart" was broken, as if the endless abyss was filled by a sea of blood, and blood water surged out from within!

Even a supernatural ability like Black Water has its limits, and an extraordinary ability like "Abyss Heart" is even more so.

After entering the "Blood Demon State," the power of 【Blood Might】 doubled; Li Fei consumed 31 Blood Souls, equivalent to 【Blood Might】 unleashed by 62 Blood Souls, breaking Guan Haoxuan's "Abyss Heart" in one fell swoop.

Guan Haoxuan had expected that Li Fei's physique change was a short-term explosive ultimate move, but he did not expect that Li Fei's enhancement range could be so perverted!

Boom—

The explosion sounded like muffled thunder; Guan Haoxuan was heavily knocked flying, with over a dozen wounds on his body, blood flowing like a river!

"Abyss Heart" still bore the vast majority of the spiritual impact for him, making him only lose his spirit for a short time, and finally react in time, but it was too late to unleash Dao Strength in his haste, and he could only barely block with his blade.

But the Eternal Night Lightless Strength was not good at defense, so Guan Haoxuan was broken through his protective strength by the Diamond Blood Demon Strength, and then splashed by the strength, with over a dozen penetrating wounds all over his body!

More seriously, highly condensed Blood Sha Qi exploded at these wounds, causing even more serious secondary damage to Guan Haoxuan!

While urging strength to disperse all the Blood Sha Qi, he fully urged his second core extraordinary ability, which was also a healing type.

Seeing Guan Haoxuan severely wounded, Wen Ke flicked her ten fingers quickly, flicking out a series of phantoms.

Over a thousand rays of strength instantly laid down large "nets," blocking in front of Li Fei.

Li Fei smashed through two layers of "nets" with Diamond Blood Demon Strength, then tore with both hands in front of him, and the super-limit strength erupted again, tearing the remaining several layers of nets directly!

He caught up to Guan Haoxuan in one step and smashed another full-power 【Blood Might】 over.

Guan Haoxuan's injuries had not yet healed, but he did not choose to dodge, erupting almost simultaneously, unleashing all the spiritual power he had absorbed and already digested using "Abyss Heart," combined with his own power of intent, and slashed at Li Fei with his blade.

This blade slashed the "Sea of Blood" open, breaking 【Blood Might】!

For powerhouses who have practiced Dao Strength, pure spiritual attacks of the technique type are already difficult to injure them again.

Just now Guan Haoxuan was caught off guard; now that he was prepared, he would not be injured by the same move again.

Li Fei let Guan Haoxuan stab him with one blade; he only slightly turned his body, actively welcoming this blade with his right chest.

First the Diamond Blood Demon Strength was broken, then the Diamond Strength was broken, then the Level 4 protective clothing, and finally the Tyrant Body strengthened by the "Blood Demon State."

The blade edge stabbed into his right chest, pierced out from his back, and was then firmly locked!

Li Fei had unleashed the "Red-Sound Fire Diamond Phase" in his body before being stabbed, so he was not affected in spirit by the Dao Strength of Guan Haoxuan's blade.

Slap!

Li Fei grabbed Guan Haoxuan's arm holding the blade with his left hand.

"Oh no!"

Guan Haoxuan immediately recalled how Fan Yan died back then.

The other party was also in close combat with Li Fei like this, and after being entangled by Li Fei, was beaten to death alive!

Between life and death, Guan Haoxuan chose to fully erupt Dao Strength, and then injected the strength into the blade body, making it explode directly inside Li Fei's body!

He did not believe that even this could not kill Li Fei.

At the same time, Li Fei attacked with attack, throwing a punch at Guan Haoxuan's head.

Bang!!!

The next second, Guan Haoxuan's head exploded like a watermelon.

The headless corpse fell slowly.

At the moment of being stabbed just now, Li Fei actively chose to cut off the connection with the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, otherwise this blade could not have pierced through him.

Then the next instant, he established the connection with the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl again.

So the injuries on his body only looked serious.

As for Guan Haoxuan's final eruption, it did indeed make him lose many Blood Souls.

After entering the "Blood Demon State," the number of Blood Souls in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl was 155; two full-power 【Blood Might】 consumed 62 Blood Souls, 【Blood Rage】 consumed 20, maintaining the transformation consumed 5, several times unleashing strength beyond his own limit consumed 14, and finally, he lost over 70 Blood Souls after being hit by Guan Haoxuan.

Now there were 7 Blood Souls left in the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, and 194 Blood Souls left in the Blood Spring.

Killing the remaining people was enough!

Before Guan Haoxuan's corpse, Li Fei pulled out the long sword that had been inserted into his right chest and pierced through his body, holding it in his hand.

On top of the carriage, Song Tiansen, who watched this scene, felt a chill down his back.

He suddenly began to feel afraid.

PS: Sorry, I've been busy with trifles these past two days, the updates have been irregular; only one update today, I'll make up for it tomorrow.
