Chapter 414

"Marquis Jing'an, I have long admired your name."

Prince Cheng Crown Prince Qin Qin Ziyu wore a white mink fur coat, and a bald, burly man over two meters tall stood beside him, walking out of the mansion gate with him.

Li Fei noticed this burly man immediately.

Wearing black battle armor, with a fierce momentum, he clearly had the aura of a man who could fight ten thousand on the battlefield!

This was a martial path Grandmaster, most likely returned from the Northern Border.

Prince Cheng still valued this son of his very much, specifically sending a martial path Grandmaster to assist him and help guard the mansion.

In Lanling City, without the combat power of a martial path Grandmaster, it is indeed difficult to speak with confidence.

"Crown Prince, you are too polite."

Li Fei looked at Qin Qin Ziyu, who was walking over, calmly.

Qin Qin Ziyu's smile remained unchanged; he turned his head to glance at Xi Xi Yuchen, whose legs had been broken, and narrowed his eyes.

He had heard the news of "Xi Xi Yuchen realizing the sword in the snow" while at the mansion and had intended to celebrate properly after Xi Xi Yuchen returned.

As a peak Dao Ji realm combatant, Xi Xi Yuchen was younger, had higher combat power, and had greater potential than Ji Ji Xiuyong.

Therefore, Qin Qin Ziyu valued this guest advisor very much; perhaps in a few years, the mansion could have a second martial path Grandmaster sitting in charge.

As a result, Xi Xi Yuchen's legs were now broken.

And Qin Qin Ziyu heard from the messenger that Li Fei had defeated Xi Xi Yuchen in one move and severely injured him!

Even for Ning Tang Chuan, who was currently ranked second on the Wind and Cloud General Ranking, Qin Qin Ziyu felt that the other party had no way to defeat Xi Xi Yuchen, who had made another breakthrough, in one move.

"Has his combat power already recovered?"

Qin Qin Ziyu turned his head back to look at Li Fei, guessing secretly in his heart.

At the same time, several cars driving toward the mansion gate had stopped, and several officials wearing official uniforms got out in a hurry and rushed over.

"I am Song Jun, Director of the Investigation Division of the Zhige Pavilion, paying respects to Marquis Jing'an and the Crown Prince."

A middle-aged official with very small eyes and a somewhat long face came before Li Fei and Qin Qin Ziyu and took the initiative to salute.

Wei Wei Hongwen, the Zhige Pavilion official who assassinated the Emperor at the Altar of Heaven, was the Director of the Investigation Division of the Zhige Pavilion; now Song Jun had succeeded to this position.

The Director of the Investigation Division of the Zhige Pavilion is responsible for handling martial artists' violations of law and discipline in Lanling City, a position that is very difficult to balance.

Just like at this very moment, Song Jun was very reluctant to get involved, but he had to come.

He was a level 15 official, at the peak of the fourth-rank officials.

In terms of position, he was on the same level as Li Fei, the Lan Xun Special Envoy, and more than one level higher than Qin Qin Ziyu, the Prince Cheng Crown Prince who only held a nominal position in the Military Affairs Department.

But he referred to himself as a subordinate in front of both of them, keeping a very low profile.

Whether it was Marquis Jing'an or the Prince Cheng Crown Prince, they were indeed not people he could afford to provoke.

"Lord Song, this person committed violence in broad daylight and injured an imperial official; according to the law, what should be done?"

Li Fei didn't talk nonsense, pointing at Xi Xi Yuchen lying on the stretcher and asking.

Song Jun's eyes narrowed until they were almost invisible; he first glanced at Xi Xi Yuchen, whose legs were broken, and asked cautiously:

"I don't know which lord this person injured?"

"He injured me."

Lu Lu Wenxing, who was to the side, said.

"So it was Lord Lu."

Song Jun looked Lu Lu Wenxing over carefully and cupped his hands.

Both of them served in the Zhige Pavilion and knew each other.

"I don't know for what reason Lord Lu was injured by this person?"

Song Jun asked.

"I was driving perfectly well when he suddenly took action and split my car in two."

Lu Lu Wenxing pointed at the car parts all over the ground, "I went up to reason with him, and he actually took action against me, injuring me. Fortunately, Marquis Jing'an happened to be passing by and took action in time to stop this person from committing violence; otherwise, I might have been the one with broken legs."

Hearing this, Qin Qin Ziyu, who was to the side, smiled without a word, not rushing to refute.

Song Jun nodded and had his subordinates record what Lu Lu Wenxing said.

Only then did he look at Xi Xi Yuchen on the stretcher, his tone also very polite:

"Mr. Xi, why did you take action against Lord Lu?"

Xi Xi Yuchen had barely recovered from the shock and pain Li Fei had brought him and stared fixedly at Lu Lu Wenxing:

"He was the one who drove his car toward me first; I only took action to protect myself."

"Self-protection? You could have completely dodged for self-protection, but you took action to split my car. If I hadn't dodged quickly, I might have already been dead! This isn't self-protection; it's attempted murder!"

Lu Lu Wenxing shouted loudly, making the matter sound even more serious.

Xi Xi Yuchen gritted his teeth; the sword strike he used had been measured, and even if Lu Lu Wenxing hadn't dodged, he wouldn't have been hurt.

But in terms of reason, his best response should indeed have been to dodge, rather than directly taking action to cut the car.

It's just that some reasons depend on the person, the time, and the place.

Xi Xi Yuchen had just made a breakthrough today, reaching a new peak in his life, and he was outside the gate of the Prince Cheng Mansion.

In front of the people of the mansion, you want him to dodge?

Moreover, Lu Lu Wenxing had provoked him first; if he had dodged, he would have lost not only his own face but also the face of the Prince Cheng Mansion!

So even if it happened again, Xi Xi Yuchen definitely wouldn't have chosen to dodge.

It's just that these words couldn't be said directly.

"Lord Lu, why did you drive your car into him?"

Song Jun turned to ask Lu Lu Wenxing again.

Lu Lu Wenxing shook his head: "I didn't crash into him on purpose; the car just suddenly malfunctioned and couldn't brake. Besides, if I really wanted to harm him, would I be stupid enough to drive a car into him? It would be better to take action myself."

Having said this, Song Jun had basically figured out the situation at the scene.

He looked at Li Fei and Qin Qin Ziyu with a smile:

"Marquis, Crown Prince, what are your views on this matter?"

Li Fei was expressionless: "I have no views; according to the laws of the Great Lan Dynasty, let it be handled as it should be."

Qin Qin Ziyu also smiled upon hearing this: "I think the same; let Lord Song handle it according to the law."

Song Jun: "..."

In such cold weather, sweat was breaking out on his forehead.

If everything could be handled according to the law, he didn't know how many times easier his job as Director of the Investigation Division would be!

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Song Jun said cautiously:

"Lord Lu's car went out of control and crashed into a pedestrian first, so he must bear responsibility regardless. But Mr. Xi's action of splitting Lord Lu's car was indeed an overreaction. In my opinion, why not let Mr. Xi compensate Lord Lu for the price of a car, how about that?"

He didn't mention the injury at all, just wanting to turn a big matter into a small one.

Xi Xi Yuchen on the stretcher felt very indignant upon hearing this.

He was the one who was hit by the car first and had his legs broken, and in the end, he still had to pay money?!

He had always relied on the power of the Prince Cheng Mansion to bully others; when had Xi Xi Yuchen ever suffered such grievances?

"Then how do you account for my legs?!"

Xi Xi Yuchen couldn't help but shout sharply.

He pointed at Lu Lu Wenxing: "I didn't take action to hurt him at all; if you don't believe me, you can have someone examine his injuries and see if the injuries on his body were caused by me!"

"Cough, cough."

Qin Qin Ziyu, who was to the side, suddenly coughed, interrupting Xi Xi Yuchen.

He looked at Song Jun, and Song Jun understood immediately, saying:

"Marquis Jing'an was anxious to save someone and acted too heavily in his haste, which is understandable. I think the Prince Cheng Mansion should be willing to provide a letter of forgiveness."

If Li Fei had severely injured a wandering martial artist of Dao Ji cultivation, then he would have been injured, but Xi Xi Yuchen was, after all, a guest advisor to the Prince Cheng Mansion and not someone without a background.

If it were really judged according to the law, severely injuring someone and causing disability, Li Fei would at least have to face prison time.

But Song Jun certainly couldn't let Li Fei go to prison, so he said very smoothly that the Prince Cheng Mansion would provide a letter of forgiveness.

In this way, Li Fei gave the Prince Cheng Mansion a way out in terms of face.

In terms of substance, Li Fei severely injured Xi Xi Yuchen without having to pay any price.

Both sides were taken care of.

Xi Xi Yuchen gritted his teeth, feeling unprecedentedly aggrieved.

He looked at Qin Qin Ziyu, and Qin Qin Ziyu gave him a comforting look, just about to speak, when Li Fei's voice sounded.

"He forgives me?"

Li Fei's tone turned cold:

"Lord Song, a few months ago, this person severely injured an imperial official, and the verdict at that time was also given by you, right? Now this person has once again taken action to injure an imperial official, showing such contempt for the laws and majesty of the imperial court. You don't punish this person severely, but instead ask him to forgive me."

"So, did I do something wrong?"

"..."

Song Jun broke out in a cold sweat and couldn't speak.

Qin Qin Ziyu's expression also sank completely.

"Li Fei!"

A thick voice suddenly sounded.

The bald, burly man who had been standing behind Qin Qin Ziyu stepped forward, looking at Li Fei with fierce eyes:

"Everyone knows what's going on with today's matter. If you want to bully others by relying on your power, then you've chosen the wrong target! The Prince Cheng Mansion is not something you can bully!"

He had come out with Qin Qin Ziyu to hold the fort.

In his view, Qin Qin Ziyu had already been forbearing everywhere and had taken the initiative to take a step back, but Li Fei was still unrelenting.

This was completely not giving the Prince Cheng Mansion any face!

So he stood out.

His name was Tang Zhan; he had honed himself on the battlefield with Prince Cheng for more than a dozen years, finally breaking through his realm to become a martial path Grandmaster, and then was sent back to Lanling City by Prince Cheng to assist the Crown Prince.

More than a dozen years of battlefield slaughter had cultivated a monstrous ferocity and killing intent in him; now that he suddenly became angry, the terrifying killing intent shrouded the long street, making everyone present feel terrified!

Only Li Fei was completely unaffected; he looked at Tang Zhan and smiled:

"Bullying others by relying on power?"

He also stepped forward, his sharp momentum like a sharp sword, forcibly tearing open Tang Zhan's monstrous killing intent:

"I don't need to rely on power to bully others; what I rely on is 'force'!"

As his voice fell, the white snow under his feet melted instantly, and a crack appeared in the cement ground, spreading all the way to Tang Zhan's feet.

Tang Zhan revealed a ferocious smile, and his fists slammed heavily together:

"Good! I've roamed this life, and what I rely on is also 'force'! Let me see if your 'force' is enough for you to rely on?"

He knew that Li Fei had killed a martial path Grandmaster with dual supernatural powers, while he only had one.

But a martial artist like him who had killed his way out of the battlefield only believed in actual combat; if one had to admit defeat because the opponent's theoretical combat power was higher and their record was better, then what kind of war would there be to fight?

Everyone could just talk on paper.

There were plenty of examples on the battlefield of the weak defeating the strong and finding a way out of a desperate situation.

He, Tang Zhan, had defeated countless opponents in his life who were theoretically stronger than himself!

So even if Li Fei's combat power had fully recovered, he didn't think he would definitely lose.

Seeing that the two were about to fight, Lu Lu Wenxing retreated decisively.

Song Jun also retreated very sensibly with his subordinates.

When gods fight, there was no need for him, the Director of the Investigation Division, to manage it, nor could he manage it.

Qin Qin Ziyu retreated back into the mansion gate with Xi Xi Yuchen and the others with a gloomy expression.

On the long street, only Li Fei and Tang Zhan remained.

A snowflake dancing above Tang Zhan's head suddenly shattered into pieces.

Snowflakes are extremely fragile and would completely dissipate with a little force, but now this snowflake was cut into several petals by an invisible force!

More and more snowflakes were cut open, and the invisible force rapidly spread to the surroundings.

The snowflakes in the sky, the accumulated snow on the ground, and even this piece of heaven and earth!

If Xi Xi Yuchen's sword strike just now was leveraging the power of heaven and earth to form a world of flying snow, then at this moment, Tang Zhan was using the power of supernatural ability to split the entire heaven and earth!

Supernatural Ability—【Cutting】.

Whether it was the hardest diamond or powerful protective internal energy or extraordinary abilities, the 【Cutting】 supernatural ability could split them.

Used by Tang Zhan, this supernatural ability even vaguely had the implication of cutting open space itself!

Cracks appeared one after another in the snow, and the snowflakes in the sky also shattered one by one, with terrifying power shrouding Li Fei from all directions.

Cracks also appeared on the divine clothing Li Fei was wearing!

This Golden-Thread Jade Red Qilin Armor had been severely damaged in the Tomb of Heavenly Water; after half a year, by continuously "swallowing" diamonds and jadeite through 【Golden Vein Jade Body】, it had been repaired.

But this seventh-grade divine clothing couldn't stop Tang Zhan's 【Cutting】 supernatural ability!

Suddenly, Li Fei erupted with an extremely sharp aura.

Xi Xi Yuchen on the stretcher widened his eyes, staring fixedly at Li Fei.

It was happening again, exactly the same as just now; Li Fei had turned into a peerless precious sword in his eyes!

But looking closely, Li Fei was still Li Fei, with no change in form, just giving people a strong illusion—

He himself was a peerless sword!

Tang Zhan narrowed his eyes, only to see a layer of faint golden light emerging from Li Fei's body; apart from exuding sharpness, the whole person also gave people a feeling of being indestructible.

The 【Cutting】 supernatural ability touched the layer of golden light on Li Fei's body, making a harsh sound of metal rubbing violently.

White marks appeared on this layer of golden light, which was suffering terrifying damage!

But the 【Cutting】 supernatural ability was finally blocked!

"Hmm?"

Tang Zhan looked surprised.

The reason why a supernatural ability is a supernatural ability is that it has transcended the level of martial arts.

Even Dao Force, if it doesn't reach the Xuan Jing level, can only have a certain impact on supernatural abilities.

Not using supernatural abilities, nor using Xuan Jing-level Dao Force, yet being able to block 【Cutting】—this was the first time Tang Zhan had encountered this.

Li Fei's expression was calm.

After refining the flying sword body, his physique was greatly enhanced, and the four types of implants that made up 【Hun Yuan Heavenly Gold】 were also greatly enhanced in strength, with their bearing capacity exceeding the limit of third-grade implants.

As a result, the pressure brought by the Heavenly Water Soul Bone was not so great, and coupled with the fusion of law and martial arts, the power of spells restrained a part of the Heavenly Water Soul Bone.

So Li Fei was finally able to use his Dao foundation normally.

Now he had activated the Hun Yuan Vajra Force and "Golden Body Jade Marrow," and also incorporated the power of the flying sword body.

This is Li Fei's unique fusion of law and martial arts:

Sword State·Golden Body Jade Marrow!

Internal energy, blood Qi, skin and flesh, tendons and bones, internal organs, and spiritual consciousness—the whole person, from inside to outside, was one.

All the power was perfectly combined, making Li Fei look as if he had truly turned into a flying sword, a flying sword that had been tempered a thousand times and was indestructible!

The defensive power in this state had been improved by more than one level compared to before.

So he blocked the 【Cutting】 supernatural ability.

However, Blood Souls were still falling, and the 【Cutting】 supernatural ability was still continuously causing damage to him.

Even with his current defensive power, he still couldn't completely block the attack of the supernatural ability.

Pfft—

Li Fei used both hands to insert the Ghost-Slaying Blade into the ground.

In this battle, he didn't intend to use a weapon.

Because he himself was the strongest weapon now!

He stepped forward and began to accelerate.

The sharp sword ringing that resounded through heaven and earth just now exploded again!

The invisible "lines" in space were cut off, and Li Fei's speed became faster and faster!

The implant 【Steel Armor】 has the core-level extraordinary ability "Danger Perception."

The implant 【Ghost Foot】 has the extraordinary ability "Divine Movement," which can use the earth's Qi to accelerate movement speed and walk on flat ground in complex terrain.

Like the combination of "Golden Body Jade Marrow" and the flying sword body, these two extraordinary abilities also completed their combination, coupled with the blessing of the Vajra Seal·Listen and Vajra Seal·Roc, forming another sword state:

Sword State·Heaven and Earth Unrestrained!

The earth under his feet, the flowing wind, the dancing snowflakes, the supernatural power of 【Cutting】... everything was clearly reflected in Li Fei's heart.

He could perceive all subtle changes and almost instinctively find "gaps" in them.

Earth Qi, wind, and even the power of space had all become his help at this moment.

Heaven and earth were like a vast ocean, and he was traveling with the current, riding the wind and breaking the waves!

Swish—

Li Fei crossed a distance of dozens of meters in an instant, broke through the obstruction of the 【Cutting】 supernatural ability, and arrived before Tang Zhan.

He raised his right arm and punched straight out.

It was unclear whether this was a punch or a sword; the extremely sharp internal energy contained terrifying power, bombarding Tang Zhan.

Tang Zhan was not surprised but happy, an excited look appearing in his eyes.

He didn't dodge or evade, but also raised his right fist and traded a punch with Li Fei.

Boom!!!

Two fists slammed heavily together, like two high-speed trains colliding.

Both of them had near-perfect control over their power, and all their power was concentrated on one point, without the slightest leakage.

So this collision didn't cause a huge battle aftermath, just a deafening roar.

In the astonished eyes of Qin Qin Ziyu and the others, Tang Zhan retreated, while Li Fei stood motionless in place.

Once the Sword State·Golden Body Jade Marrow was formed, the upper limit of 【Blood Rage】 was greatly increased, from 56 to 122!

"Hahahaha—"

Tang Zhan, who had been repelled, laughed loudly.

His right fist was bloody, exposing white bones, as if it had been pierced by a sharp weapon!

"That's enough force!"

As his voice fell, Tang Zhan rushed back at an even faster speed, his fists bombarding Li Fei.

His whole body was shrouded in a layer of black internal energy; like Li Fei's Hun Yuan Vajra Force, this layer of internal energy was also highly condensed, compressed, and tightly attached to his body.

His Dao foundation was 【Fractured Sky Battle Body】, a high-level Dao foundation; the core-level extraordinary abilities he triggered were only four types, and all were of the amplification type:

Greatly enhancing strength, speed, defense, and endurance.

After the Dao foundation was successfully constructed and he broke through to become a martial path Grandmaster, Tang Zhan's "Battle Body" was completed, and the amplification of the four core-level extraordinary abilities became even stronger!

At this moment, Tang Zhan fully activated his Battle Body.

His height, which was already nearly two meters, became more than three meters, his whole person grew a circle larger, similar to Li Fei's "Blood Demon State" before the "Golden Body Jade Marrow" was refined.

The pitch-black Crack-Killing Infinite Force was further condensed by him and combined with the 【Cutting】 supernatural ability, turning into black "ropes" that wrapped around his entire body.

Tang Zhan and Li Fei had a second collision; this time, it was Li Fei who was repelled.

After Li Fei retreated more than thirty meters, he stopped his body and then rushed back at high speed again.

Before punching, he cast the Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant.

Boom!!!

The two collided fiercely again.

Tang Zhan was repelled again!

He quickly stopped his figure and immediately counter-charged back.

The skills honed on the battlefield turned into simple head-on collisions now.

The two were like two flying swords, one black and one gold, clashing head-on time and again, using the simplest and most brutal way to collide!

The frequency of the collisions became faster and faster; in the eyes of Qin Qin Ziyu and the others, they only saw two streams of light, tearing the air time and again, and colliding time and again!

Others could no longer see their figures, only hearing the continuous roaring sound.

Although no aftermath was released, the terrifying momentum made people feel as if two giant mountains were colliding at high speed time and again!

Every time they collided, both of them concentrated their power on one point and released it perfectly.

This fighting style was what Tang Zhan liked most and was most familiar with.

Slaughter on the battlefield meant using every bit of power on the blade's edge and killing the enemy in the simplest and most direct way.

Compared to You Ming, his methods were not so rich and varied, but they were very efficient.

He had Dao Force at the level of ease, his internal energy was continuous, his moves were round and smooth, and he didn't need to catch his breath.

And Li Fei needed to cast the Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant time and again to suppress him in a head-on confrontation, inevitably leading to "gaps" in high-frequency collisions.

As a result, it was Tang Zhan who gained the upper hand, and the 【Cutting】 supernatural ability was also continuously damaging Li Fei's sword body.

And no matter how astonishing Li Fei's combat power was, his realm was ultimately only at the Dao Ji stage, and he had no way to directly absorb the Qi of heaven and earth from the outside world to replenish his power.

In this situation, his endurance was definitely far inferior to that of a martial path Grandmaster.

So Tang Zhan believed that the one who could stand to the end must be himself!

After the two collided for dozens of rounds, Li Fei's voice suddenly sounded:

"Is this the power you rely on?"

Tang Zhan raised his eyebrows, just about to speak, when he saw Li Fei, who was rushing toward him, also grow a circle larger.

The pale golden fist tore the air again and bombarded him.

A sense of crisis suddenly arose in Tang Zhan's heart; he immediately concentrated more 【Cutting】 supernatural ability on his right fist, and the fist was covered with black "ropes."

The next instant, the black and gold fists collided again.

Then the black "ropes" were torn apart, and unimaginable, vast power surged in, piercing through Tang Zhan's internal energy like a hot knife through butter, followed by his skin, flesh, tendons, and bones!

At this moment, Li Fei's fist was like steel, while Tang Zhan's fist turned into soft mud, being blasted apart, and then exploded all the way up along his wrist!

Boom—

Tang Zhan cried out in pain and flew backward.

His right arm, from his hand all the way to his elbow, had completely disappeared!

The limit of Sword State·Golden Body Jade Marrow is 122 points of Blood Rage power.

Superimposed with the "Blood Demon State," it becomes 244 points of Blood Rage power.

Finally, using the Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant, it erupts with 488 points of Blood Rage power!

This is a terrifying power twice as strong as in the Tomb of Heavenly Water, and because of the special attributes of the flying sword body, this power is highly concentrated and sharper!

With just one move, Li Fei crippled one of Tang Zhan's hands.

Defeating another martial path Grandmaster!

"The power you rely on is nothing more than this."

Li Fei looked at Tang Zhan, who had lost his hand, word by word:

"Too weak!"
