Zhu Fenghua broke through to become a Martial Arts Master in an instant!

This was something You Ming had not expected, because the construction of the foundation of martial arts is a process that requires caution and care, and cannot be disturbed by the outside world in the slightest, otherwise, it is possible to lose all previous efforts!

Being able to break through smoothly even after being hit by a 【Heart Sword】 of his own was already beyond You Ming's cognition.

And for Zhu Fenghua, what he had always pursued was to simultaneously break through martial arts and magic arts; while breaking through to become a Martial Arts Master, he also wanted to condense his True Spirit, step into the True Spirit realm, and become a contemporary True Person.

But now, he had taken the initiative to give up this goal he had pursued for many years.

He broke through to become a Martial Arts Master in an instant, but failed to break through to become a True Person; one reason was that he was not prepared, and the second was that at the moment of breaking through, he used techniques to "protect the path" for himself, blocking the interference brought by the 【Heart Sword】, while simultaneously using it as a "step" for the martial arts breakthrough.

The mystery of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts allowed Zhu Fenghua to complete the impossible, but he also lost the opportunity to reach the sky in one step.

This was Zhu Fenghua's "loss"; he did not lose to You Ming, but lost to himself.

After breaking through, Zhu Fenghua's state of mind was not dusty, but instead, he somewhat understood Master's intention.

He had always pursued "reaching the sky in one step," wanting to simultaneously break through the realms of martial arts and magic arts; it looked like confidence, but was it not also a kind of cowardice?

Precisely because he was afraid that a single breakthrough would not allow him to go further, he was so obsessed with breaking through two realms at the same time.

If I break through one realm first, will I not be able to break through again in the future?

Was it because I saw the predicament of my senior brothers and sisters that I did not have the courage to face such a result?

This is the question Lin Tianyi wanted Zhu Fenghua to face directly!

And so Zhu Fenghua made his choice.

He knew You Ming did not dare to kill him; if he did not break through, he would still retain the opportunity to reach the sky in one step, at most just losing to You Ming.

Losing to a dual-divine-ability Martial Arts Master at the Foundation Establishment stage is not shameful.

But Zhu Fenghua did not accept this result, preferring to give up years of effort rather than give You Ming the chance to defeat him!

I can lose to myself, but I will not lose to you!

Why is the mindset of a loser more suitable for breaking through? Because as long as Zhu Fenghua is willing to accept his own failure, he can break through immediately.

After Zhu Fenghua broke through, You Ming had no intention of continuing to fight him, because his goal had already been achieved.

Severely injuring Zhu Fenghua was to prevent the other from entering the Tomb of Heavenly Water.

Now that Zhu Fenghua had broken through to become a Martial Arts Master, he was even less able to enter the Tomb of Heavenly Water.

You Ming decisively retreated.

Zhu Fenghua controlled two flying swords to chase after him, the two rays of sword light carrying flood dragon-like force.

Although magic arts did not break through, dual cultivation of magic and martial arts allowed Zhu Fenghua's flying sword power to rise to a higher level after his martial arts breakthrough!

You Ming knew that once he was entangled by the two flying swords, it would be difficult to shake off Zhu Fenghua.

He ignored these two flying swords and instead thrust a sword in two different directions.

The landing points of the sword light were exactly the two disciples of Tianyi Tower!

These two disciples had been severely injured by You Ming from the beginning, and then their minds were suppressed by Zhu San using techniques, falling into a coma.

Zhu Fenghua and You Ming fought, almost turning the entire residence into ruins, but both intentionally avoided these two Tianyi Tower disciples.

This was also the basis for Zhu Fenghua's judgment that You Ming did not want to kill.

But at this moment, You Ming suddenly killed these two disciples!

The cost and consequences of killing Zhu Fenghua and killing two ordinary disciples of Tianyi Tower were completely different.

You Ming now wanted to make Zhu Fenghua choose:

Is it to save your two senior brothers, or to watch them be killed by me?

Zhu Fenghua chose to save them.

The two flying swords suddenly turned and intercepted the sword light thrust by You Ming.

And You Ming had already jumped high at this time, and then a black boat rose into the sky, with Zhu San carrying him again.

The black boat turned into a stream of light and flew into the distance; during this process, Zhu Fenghua did not make another move.

The two sword thrusts You Ming made just now were not the full threat, because if he really wanted to kill, he could just use the 【Heart Sword】, and Zhu Fenghua would not even have the chance to intercept.

So this was also You Ming's warning: if you dare to continue to block me, I will kill your two senior brothers with the 【Heart Sword】!

Zhu Fenghua watched the black boat disappear into the horizon, his eyes deep.

From You Ming suddenly breaking into the residence to leaving on the flying boat now, the whole process did not exceed three minutes, and the two did not exchange even a hundred moves.

At this time, Li Fei and the others were still outside the residence of the guesthouse.

When he saw that familiar black boat rise into the sky, Li Fei realized that something had happened over there.

"Go!"

He greeted and was the first to rush over there.

A few minutes later, Li Fei arrived at the residence where Zhu Fenghua and the others lived.

This place was already a ruin, surrounded by many people.

When he arrived, Zhu Fenghua was treating his two senior brothers.

"Zhu Fenghua?"

Li Fei had not seen Zhu Fenghua before, only heard others describe him.

Li Fei had perceived the movement when Zhu Fenghua broke through from far away; seeing the person himself now, he immediately understood that it was Zhu Fenghua who had broken through just now.

"Yes, I am Zhu Fenghua."

Zhu Fenghua nodded calmly at Li Fei.

"I am Li Fei."

Li Fei replied.

The conversation between the two caused a stir in the surrounding crowd.

Many people had rushed to Heavenly Water City specifically to see the duel between these two, not expecting them to meet under such circumstances.

"Greetings, Marquis of Jing'an."

Zhu Fenghua cupped his hands and bowed.

"Greetings, Master Zhu."

Li Fei cupped his hands in return and said with some regret:

"I thought I would witness your style in the Tomb of Heavenly Water, but unfortunately..."

He now knew who had used that Mysterious Scene level martial force just now.

At that time, Zhu Fenghua had not broken through, and had exerted martial force at the Mysterious Scene level with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage!

Such a thing, Li Fei had only seen in his master, Hao Yi.

Before Hao Yi broke through at the age of 25, his martial force was only at the "Entering the Dao" level.

Later, after the breakthrough failed, he went to Xingcheng and spent more than thirty years re-cultivating.

After more than thirty years of tempering and realization, Hao Yi only re-cultivated his realm, but his saber technique and martial force had been continuously rising.

Until the day he returned to the peak and raided the execution ground, what he exerted was already martial force at the peak of the Mysterious Scene!

Later, he broke through to the Grandmaster realm and slashed out the final "Heaven and Earth One Saber" with the Refining Object divine ability.

Shi Caiming said that that saber had already reached the level of Creation!

Comparing this, Zhu Fenghua reached the Mysterious Scene level of martial force with the Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, taking less time than Hao Yi.

This made Li Fei think even more highly of Zhu Fenghua, and also feel even more regretful for not being able to have a same-realm contest with the other.

Hearing Li Fei's words, a smile appeared on Zhu Fenghua's dark face:

"It is indeed a pity."

Master wanted him to fail once, and the initial target was Li Fei, so he also really wanted to know if Li Fei truly had the strength to make him fail?

At this time, the government officials also arrived; the Provincial Military Commander of the Supervisory Academy and the Chief of the Zhige Academy had both come.

Over a hundred inspectors surrounded this ruin and began to drive people away, driving all the onlookers away.

After discovering that Li Fei was also at the scene, the Provincial Military Commander and the Chief of Heavenly Water City immediately came to him to salute and ask for his handling opinion.

"This matter is related to the case this Marquis is investigating; the follow-up will be handled by this Marquis, you all do a good job of the aftermath."

Li Fei said.

The two imperial officials nodded repeatedly, indicating no problem, and everything would be listened to by the Marquis of Jing'an.

Then Li Fei came to Zhu Fenghua:

"The person just now once killed a disciple of the Red Dust Pavilion and also attacked me. Does Master Zhu know why he came to attack you?"

Zhu Fenghua said frankly: "He should be trying to prevent me from entering the Tomb of Heavenly Water."

"Oh?"

Li Fei's eyes changed.

Zhu Fenghua briefly recounted the process of the fight just now.

After listening, Li Fei was thoughtful.

This Martial Arts Master of the New Heaven Society did not want Zhu Fenghua to enter the Tomb of Heavenly Water, why?

Is there something in the Tomb of Heavenly Water that the New Heaven Society wants, so they removed a strong competitor in advance?

This was the first point Li Fei associated with.

"Master Zhu, may I ask, this time you enter the Tomb of Heavenly Water, is there anything that must be taken away?"

Li Fei asked.

Zhu Fenghua looked at Li Fei and shook his head:

"Master only let me enter the Tomb of Heavenly Water, and did not let me have to take away anything."

"I understand, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Seeing that Li Fei intended to leave, Zhu Fenghua suddenly called him:

"Marquis of Jing'an."

"Hmm?"

"Regarding the person who attacked me, if there is news in the future, can you also inform me?"

Zhu Fenghua asked.

"No problem."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Then Li Fei left here.

That night, the news that Zhu Fenghua had encountered an attack by a Martial Arts Master and was forced to break through to become a Martial Arts Master spread throughout the city.

"I heard that the Martial Arts Master killed a direct disciple of the Red Dust Pavilion Pavilion Master before."

"I heard the other party possesses two divine abilities."

"Two divine abilities? And could still break through on the spot? Too incredible! If you ask me, before Zhu Fenghua broke through, he was the true number one on the Wind and Cloud General List!"

"And Zhu Fenghua also exerted martial force at the Mysterious Scene level before breaking through!"

"."

Originally, Yan Dongchen breaking through to become a Martial Arts Master and Li Fei taking a spear from the opponent after the breakthrough should have become a hot topic for people.

But now the popularity has all been covered up by Zhu Fenghua!

Compared to Li Fei taking a spear from Yan Dongchen after the breakthrough, Zhu Fenghua being able to exert martial force at the Mysterious Scene level with the cultivation of the Foundation Establishment stage, and then successfully breaking through in front of a dual-divine-ability Martial Arts Master, and finally forcing the other back, this is obviously more incredible and even more thrilling!

Although Li Fei had also forced You Ming back, that was under the condition that a Martial Arts Master had arrived, and no one would feel that You Ming ran away because he was afraid he could not beat Li Fei.

But this time, Zhu Fenghua broke through on the spot and forced You Ming back with his own strength.

Coupled with Zhu Fenghua using martial force at the Mysterious Scene level before breaking through.

So now many people feel that if Zhu Fenghua had not broken through, he should be the true number one on the Wind and Cloud General List!

Unfortunately, Zhu Fenghua has already broken through, and this peak duel between the two is ultimately gone.

"This New Heaven Society must have a big move targeting the Tomb of Heavenly Water this time."

In the room, Xiang Dongliang said to Li Fei with a solemn expression:

"They might have mastered some kind of means to accurately predict the location of the cracks, so as to get in ahead of us."

Li Fei: "If so, they can completely occupy the quota in advance, there is no need to specifically attack Zhu Fenghua."

If attacking Zhu Fenghua was to remove a powerful competitor, the premise must be that the New Heaven Society can also send people into the Tomb of Heavenly Water.

But if the other party can enter the Tomb of Heavenly Water, just occupy the quota directly; after all, as long as the number of people entering exceeds a certain limit, the cracks will disappear.

"Perhaps they can't send so many people in without alarming everyone? Or they can only send one or two people in at most?"

Xiang Dongliang said.

After Zhu Fenghua was attacked, Heavenly Water City and the Red Dust Pavilion sent more manpower to search the blocked area to ensure that the New Heaven Society did not ambush people in this area.

Li Fei, Shentu Yue, and others even personally went to search once this afternoon.

The Martial Arts Master of the Red Dust Pavilion who possessed the concealment divine ability had been following Li Fei and Shentu Yue; he was good at concealment, so naturally, he was also good at breaking concealment.

He also did not find any abnormalities in the blocked area.

Now the manpower in that area has increased several times compared to before, and there are people almost everywhere; it is indeed very difficult for the New Heaven Society to hide people in it quietly.

Li Fei nodded: "There is indeed such a possibility, and it is also possible that Zhu Fenghua did not tell the truth, and the New Heaven Society attacking him has nothing to do with the opening of the Tomb of Heavenly Water this time. In short, let's take things as they come."

Anyway, for him, no matter whether the New Heaven Society has a plot against the Tomb of Heavenly Water or not, he is going in.

No plot, he goes in and smoothly takes away the Heavenly Water Soul Bone.

With a plot, he thwarts the opponent's plot, and then takes away the Heavenly Water Soul Bone.

It's that simple.

"This is a Domain-Breaking Talisman; the Principal specifically asked me to bring an extra one, you should carry them both on you."

Xiang Dongliang handed Li Fei a wooden box, in which two jade pendants were placed.

Runes were carved on both the front and back of these jade pendants, faintly revealing a sharp aura.

This is a Domain-Breaking Talisman.

The Tomb of Heavenly Water is a Dead Domain; entering from the outside can only be done through automatically formed cracks.

But the cracks are very unstable, exist for a short time, and after the number of people passing through exceeds a certain limit, the cracks will disappear.

Therefore, people who enter the Dead Domain want to come out, they cannot pass through the cracks.

The Domain-Breaking Talisman was born for this reason.

To manufacture such a Domain-Breaking Talisman, a Grandmaster needs to take action personally!

A portion of the Grandmaster's Martial Arts Domain is attached to the talisman, made through special means, which can break open a crack inside the Dead Domain, allowing people to come out from the inside.

It is just that different Martial Arts Domains will naturally produce repulsion after contact, even if it is a Dead Domain, it is the same.

Therefore, after holding the Domain-Breaking Talisman and entering the Dead Domain, the power on the Domain-Breaking Talisman will be continuously worn away by the Dead Domain until it disappears completely.

Before the power of the Domain-Breaking Talisman falls below a certain critical value, the people inside must use the Domain-Breaking Talisman to come out.

Because such talismans are very difficult to manufacture and require Grandmasters to consume their own power, usually people who go in only carry one.

But Shi Caiming specifically prepared an extra one for Li Fei, just worrying that he would have an accident.

Li Fei accepted the wooden box with some emotion.

Under the night, the mountains and forests were brightly lit.

Teams of people were patrolling in the forest.

On a hillside outside the blocked area, Zhu San and Ye Zhao stood here, quietly looking at the lights in the distance.

They had been in that area before, but now they had left, and it looked like they had no intention of going in again.

"It's about time."

Zhu San suddenly said.

Hearing this, Ye Zhao could not suppress his excitement.

Suddenly, a violent fluctuation came from that area!

If one views Heavenly Water City and the surrounding area as a lake, now it is as if a giant stone has been thrown into the lake, and the ripples formed spread far away.

The Tomb of Heavenly Water has opened!
