Chapter 242: Severing the Bond

Under the night, Li Fei stood holding the blade, with Guan Haoxuan's corpse at his feet.

Wen Ke swept a calm glance at Guan Haoxuan on the ground, and extreme killing intent appeared in her eyes again!

Not long after she incorporated her first implant, she experienced a situation of beastly loss of control.

The beastliness hidden within the implant comes from exotic beasts; this kind of beastliness is primitive and bloody, and once the beastliness suppresses humanity, the martial artist will completely lose control, turning into a wild beast full of desire for slaughter!

This kind of martial artist who has lost control is even more dangerous than a martial artist who has fallen into the demonic path, because there is simply no reason to speak of, and they cannot be communicated with at all, and can only be killed.

In the thousand-year history of martial arts, the initial martial arts cultivation was very primitive and backward; martial artists could only resign themselves to fate, the survival rate was very low, and the risk of losing control was also very high.

Later, with the development of martial arts becoming more and more mature, the manufacturing technology of implants became better and better, and various elixirs emerged one after another; before the Dao Foundation stage, the risk of martial artists losing control had already become very low.

The reason Wen Ke lost control was because she was born with deficiencies; her constitution was not suitable for practicing martial arts, but she insisted on practicing martial arts by force.

The small city where she was located simply did not have the means to solve the loss of control of implants, and after suffering bitterly for a long time, she was finally suppressed by beastliness over humanity.

Originally, her ending could only be to be killed ruthlessly.

It just so happened that Xu Jing was passing by there at that time and encountered the out-of-control Wen Ke, taking action to save her.

"Killing is the same; do you know what the biggest difference between humans and wild beasts is?"

This was the first question Xu Jing asked her after saving Wen Ke back then.

"... Humans use tools?"

Wen Ke answered.

Xu Jing shook his head and smiled:

"The biggest difference between the two is: humans are better at killing their own kind than wild beasts!"

"..."

"Your talent is not bad; follow me and learn to kill."

"... Okay."

Thus, from that day on, Wen Ke became Xu Jing's student.

When Xu Jing took Li Fei to break into the mountain gate back then, he once said that Wen Ke's heart of slaughter was taught by him.

It was also precisely because Wen Ke realized the heart of slaughter under his guidance that she could overcome her innate deficiencies and not be suppressed by beastliness over humanity.

However, when she was in battle, the beastliness of the implant would still erupt, causing her entire state to change greatly, becoming full of killing intent.

In the past, Wen Ke was led by this killing intent to fight; after realizing the heart of slaughter, this killing intent became the "blade" in her hand, which she perfectly mastered, instead enhancing her combat power!

Li Fei and Wen Ke looked at each other with eyes full of killing intent, and ripples stirred in his heart, which had always been as calm as an ancient well.

"Attack together!"

On top of the carriage, Liu Yan greeted, leaped out holding an iron spear, and came to Wen Ke's side.

Song Tiansen hesitated for a moment, then also jumped off the top of the carriage and came to Wen Ke's other side.

In this situation, there was no way to care about the safety of those officials in the carriage.

If they didn't join forces to solve Li Fei in front of them first, everyone else would have to die!

"Fortunately, he has already been severely wounded by Mr. Guan; he shouldn't be able to hold on for long, right?"

Song Tiansen thought, looking at the penetrating wound on Li Fei's right chest.

"Please Mr. Wen restrain him like before, and Song Guest and I will join forces to attack him."

Liu Yan said in a deep voice.

As his voice fell, Wen Ke flicked her ten fingers, a series of phantoms flashed, and then over a thousand dark golden rays of light crossed and bound toward Li Fei.

Boom—

The wild wind roared like a tiger, sweeping across the hillside.

Liu Yan followed the wind, rushed to Li Fei's side at an extremely fast speed, and the long spear in his hand pointed out quickly, instantly stabbing dozens of times, the spear shadows shrouding Li Fei's upper body.

Every time he stabbed, a large cluster of flames exploded, and a piece of fire cloud took shape.

Liu Yan is a 4th-level Dao Foundation stage powerhouse; the strength he practiced is the Swift Wind Fierce Fire Strength, which is a high-level strength compatible with both wind and fire attributes.

At this time, he used the fire cloud to cover his true killing move, preparing to condense his strength and stab the strongest spear.

Swish—

The next second, the fire cloud was split by a flash of blade light; Li Fei was shrouded in brilliant golden light, Wen Ke's Extreme Gang Rainbow Shadow Strength was forcibly broken by him again, and the flames circling around him did not break his protective strength.

"Diamond Strength?"

Liu Yan recognized the strength Li Fei used and was surprised that Li Fei actually possessed two types of strength.

Too late to think more, he stabbed a spear, colliding with the blade light Li Fei slashed.

At the moment of collision, Liu Yan exploded the Swift Wind Fierce Fire Strength attached to the spear body, wanting to swing away the long sword in Li Fei's hand.

However, a spiral strength suddenly came from the blade body, rolling away more than half of the strength he exploded, and then the blade body vibrated at a high frequency, steadily cutting open the "barrier" in front, and slashed on the position behind the spear tip of the long spear.

Clang—

Thunderous force knocked Liu Yan's long spear flying heavily.

Li Fei stepped forward and swung his blade, continuing to slash at Liu Yan's body.

"Good blade technique!"

Liu Yan praised in his heart, wild wind roared under his feet, and then two clusters of fire strength exploded, driving his body to dodge to one side abruptly.

Li Fei seemed to have expected that he would have such a change, changed his blade stance a step in advance, and turned to sweep horizontally to the side.

Slap—

The strength exploded for the second time under Liu Yan's feet, driving his body to complete a two-stage change of direction.

This is the characteristic of Swift Wind Fierce Fire Strength, possessing both change and explosion, which can allow Liu Yan to possess multi-stage change-of-direction ability.

Li Fei slashed and broke a phantom; he adjusted his direction and slashed at Liu Yan again.

Suddenly, the ground under his feet exploded, and an earth wall stood up out of thin air, blocking in front of Liu Yan.

Not only that, Wen Ke manipulated over a thousand dark golden rays of light to weave into several large "nets," also blocking in front of Liu Yan.

The earth wall was Song Tiansen's method; he injected his earth-attribute strength into the ground, sneaked for a distance, and then suddenly erupted, thereby forming an earth wall.

Li Fei had expected it long ago, left a phantom in place, suddenly changed direction, tore through the air, and rushed toward Song Tiansen!

Song Tiansen was startled and waved his hands downward.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The ground in front of him exploded one after another, and four earth walls mixed with mud blocked in front of him.

But the next second, the four earth walls were pierced by blood-red crystals, and Li Fei leaped to Song Tiansen's side in one step!

He had already urged Diamond Seal · Peng in advance, plus the blessing of 【Blood Rage】 in the "Blood Demon State," his movement speed was faster than before, and Wen Ke had time to urge strength to block in front of Liu Yan, but at this time she was too late to save Song Tiansen.

Song Tiansen wanted to retreat, but suddenly fell into a boundless sea of blood...

He did not have Dao Strength, nor did he have an extraordinary ability that could resist spiritual attacks, and was stunned in place for a moment.

By the time he came back to his senses, the blade edge had already arrived in front of his neck.

He did not have the means of rapid change of direction like Liu Yan, and could only fully erupt his protective strength to protect himself.

But even if the strength on the blade edge had been exhausted, this blade still carried terrifying force, breaking through his protective strength unstoppably, and swept across his neck!

A human head flew high.

Song Tiansen only felt the world spinning rapidly; the picture his last remaining consciousness saw was Li Fei turning around and rushing back, rushing to Liu Yan's side.

The long sword slashed through the layers of large "nets" woven by Wen Ke, and was then blocked by Liu Yan with an iron spear.

At the same time, rays of light entangled Li Fei's arm holding the blade.

Li Fei stepped forward, stretched out his left hand, which could move freely, and pointed a finger at Liu Yan's chest.

Liu Yan also suddenly stunned for a moment, and was then broken through his protective strength by Li Fei, and his chest was pointed by the finger.

This finger actually did not have much power, nor did it cause much damage.

By the time Liu Yan came back to his senses, the strength under his feet exploded twice, driving him to retreat rapidly for dozens of meters.

Li Fei, however, no longer chased, and didn't even pay attention to him anymore, turning to look at Wen Ke.

Behind Li Fei, Liu Yan's body shook, covering his chest with his hand, and a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

Finally, he fell slowly.

All this happened in a flash; when Liu Yan's body fell slowly, Song Tiansen's head fell from the air, and he also lost his last consciousness.

Two 4th-level Dao Foundation stage powerhouses fell just like that!

Li Fei still had 118 Blood Souls left in his "Blood Spring."

For the last strike killing Liu Yan, he consumed 15 Blood Souls with 【Blood Sha】 to convert into Blood Sha Qi and hit the other party's chest.

In the case where most of the strength was restrained, 【Blood Sha】 could allow Li Fei to generate new "strength" anytime, anywhere!

Now, only Wen Ke, this one Dao Foundation stage powerhouse, remained.

Li Fei looked at Wen Ke not far away and did not take action immediately.

"Your state of mind is chaotic."

Wen Ke suddenly returned to normal, all killing intent restrained, looking at Li Fei's eyes, and said indifferently.

Li Fei did not speak.

For Wen Ke, his mood was complex.

After entering Wu University, the other party did indeed give him a lot of help.

Even if there were other reasons behind all this, those helps were solid.

If Xu Jing only had a feud with him alone, he might have chosen to let Wen Ke go.

But Xu Jing caused Hao Yi's death and also indirectly caused Shangguan Xiao's death.

Wen Ke and Guan Haoxuan, and these people present, were all Xu Jing's accomplices.

Over a decade of layout, designing and framing step by step, was not something Xu Jing could do alone. Everyone present had participated.

Including that day at the execution ground, Wen Ke and the others also participated in the siege of Hao Yi.

People are dead; Li Fei could not forgive anyone on behalf of Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao!

"You shouldn't have hesitation."

Wen Ke continued to say to Li Fei, and then she stood in place and set up a stance:

"Come, I taught you."

Li Fei was startled, recalling the content Wen Ke taught in class back then:

"The original intent of the heart of slaughter is to always know why one kills, not to be lost because of slaughter, and not to hesitate because of slaughter."

Yes, she taught him.

She had already recognized him.

From her eyes, Li Fei read the other party's killing intent:

If you don't kill me, I will definitely kill you!

He must avenge Hao Yi and Shangguan Xiao, and she would definitely choose to stand on Xu Jing's side!

Thus, Li Fei's eyes became firm again, and he rushed up holding the blade.

Wen Ke also entered a combat state again in an instant, her eyes changing from calm to full of killing intent.

Surging killing intent erupted from both of them almost simultaneously!

The next instant, a full-power 【Blood Might】 attacked Wen Ke, but Wen Ke was only stunned for a moment before recovering.

She did not practice Dao Strength, nor did she have an extraordinary ability that could defend against spiritual attacks, but she forced herself to remain focused by relying on strong killing intent.

This was originally her innate deficiency, but now it had become her "weapon."

"So you use this kind of method."

Wen Ke finally understood why Song Tiansen and Liu Yan were suddenly "controlled" at critical moments in the previous battle.

She condensed over a thousand Extreme Gang Rainbow Shadow Strengths on her arm, turned them into a sharp thorn at her fingertip, and stabbed at Li Fei.

Li Fei did not dodge or evade, letting Wen Ke attack, and he slashed at Wen Ke's head with one blade.

Wen Ke suddenly leaned back to dodge when the blade edge was about to arrive, and the strength on her right arm broke through Li Fei's protective Diamond Strength, hitting the wound on his right chest.

Li Fei's expression remained unchanged, and the Diamond Blood Demon Strength condensed on the blade edge suddenly exploded.

Boom—

Wen Ke dodged from the original place in time, but still had over a dozen wounds exploded on her body.

Like back then, she chose to actively use strength to "pick" these wounds open and disperse the residual Blood Sha Qi in time.

Li Fei stepped forward to chase her, continuing to slash with his blade.

Wen Ke was surrounded by over a thousand rays of light, weaving a layer of "net" with extremely strong toughness for herself, while resisting Li Fei's attacks, while quickly wandering, looking for opportunities to fight back.

The speed of the two was so fast that shadows could almost not be seen; one could only see dark golden rays of light pulling out long strips of light, one after another thunder-like muffled sounds constantly coming out, and the ground was stepped into one earth pit after another.

From time to time, blood-red crystals exploded, followed by a large cluster of blood mist exploding.

Wen Ke is a student of Xu Jing, this Martial Arts Master, and a professor at Wu University, so she naturally mastered quite a few high-level martial arts inheritances.

Movement, defense, attack—all were first-class!

But her speed was still a notch slower than Li Fei's, unable to dodge Li Fei's pursuit.

In close combat, her attacks could not injure Li Fei, while Li Fei could leave over a dozen wounds on her body every time he made a move!

This was originally a situation of absolute disadvantage, but Wen Ke was indeed very good at fighting.

People who know how to kill also know how to protect themselves.

Every time she could use the most extreme operations to reduce the damage to the maximum extent, wandering on the edge of life and death time and time again, "walking on a tightrope" time and time again, appearing precarious, but always able to turn danger into safety.

But even so, the injuries on her body were getting heavier and heavier. Even though she possessed a healing core extraordinary ability, facing such frequent injuries, she was a bit unable to keep up.

After over a dozen moves, Li Fei caught a flaw exposed by Wen Ke because of her injuries, suddenly unleashed Diamond Seal · Dragon Elephant, and relying on explosive power beyond his own limit, stabbed a blade into Wen Ke's lower abdomen!

Pfft—

Wen Ke sprayed a mouthful of blood and finally stopped.

The killing intent in her eyes gradually dissipated, and she returned to her usual gentleness.

Her body fell backward slowly, and she looked at the night sky above her head in a daze.

In a trance, she seemed to have returned to that night of losing control; when all reason was about to be filled with endless slaughter, a figure appeared in her world, pulling her back from the edge of losing control.

"Your talent is not bad; follow me and learn to kill."

That person's voice sounded in her ear again.

"Okay."

A gentle smile appeared on Wen Ke's face, and she slowly closed her eyes.

Dying just like that.

Li Fei looked at the fallen Wen Ke, his eyes desolate.

They met at Wu University and had quite a few warm intersections.

Now, the fate is broken.

Killing the other party, Li Fei feels guilty.

But, people cannot always do the right thing.

Li Fei looked up at the carriage in front again, held his blade, and walked over.

The anger in his heart had not subsided.

There are two more updates in the evening.
