Chapter 468: Spirit-Parasitizing Thousand Shadow Domain

In the air, shrouded by a shadow, the three were flying rapidly.

After the Hun Tian Luo Pan dissipated, Qi Zhou switched to casting the 【Shadow Concealment】 supernatural ability to cover the three.

When they came, the Killing Barbarian Army took a week.

Now returning, the three flew directly in the sky, and the speed was much faster.

After repelling Boerhu yesterday afternoon, the three traveled for a few hours, rested for the night, and continued on their way during the day.

Qi Zhou's 【Shadow Concealment】 supernatural ability had to conceal the aura and tracks of three people at the same time and could not be sustained, so the three would land and recuperate for thirty minutes after flying in the sky for an hour, and then continue flying.

After another recuperation ended, the three ascended into the sky again. Not long after flying, Li Fei saw a tribal habitat below.

This should be a branch of a certain Northern Barbarian tribe, with only two or three thousand people.

Such a branch almost certainly could not have Heaven-Capital level experts. With the combat power of the three, they could easily wipe out such a branch.

However, the most important thing now was to return safely. There were already enough military merits, and Li Fei did not intend to cause extra trouble.

Qi Zhou and Qiu Zi'an also just glanced at this branch and did not express anything.

Just as the three were passing over this branch, Li Fei noticed something unusual.

The shadow flying across the clouds suddenly twisted into a vortex, and invisible forces appeared out of thin air, as if there were transparent threads, invisible and intangible, that had unknowingly entangled him!

"When..."

Li Fei was startled.

Immediately after, a huge pulling force came from these invisible threads, forcibly dragging him down from the sky!

He immediately wanted to cast 【No Distance】, but tens of thousands of 【Thread Manipulations】 had long been woven into an invisible web, making the sky around the three instantly become a piece of sticky amber.

Wu Gong Domain unfolded!

Boom—

Thunder exploded in the air.

When Li Fei was pulled by 【Thread Manipulation】, Qiu Zi'an encountered the most violent attack!

The number of 【Thread Manipulations】 hanging on her was far lower than on Li Fei, but the Wu Gong Domain pressure encountered at the first moment was the strongest.

She was already severely injured, which made Qiu Zi'an unable to erupt her Wu Gong Domain to form a counter-strike in the first moment.

【Thread Manipulation】 affected her movements and the operation of force, and the Wu Gong Domain affected her casting of supernatural abilities.

Although it was only for a split second, it was enough for another Grandmaster.

The amber-like air squeezed toward Qiu Zi'an with an impact force of hundreds of tons!

But these were just the prelude.

Thousands of dark red threads intertwined to form a giant sword dozens of meters long, stabbing toward Qiu Zi'an.

When this sword stabbed, those invisible threads hanging on her gathered at the same time, pulling her to collide with this sword.

The force erupting from her body was constantly transferred, resolved, and absorbed by these invisible threads, causing her defense to be constantly weakened.

Not only that, the more intense her counter-attack, the greater the power of the killing move she faced!

Qi Zhou's long-brewed killing move, aimed at the already severely injured Qiu Zi'an, could be said to be a sure thing!

Life and death in an instant.

A brilliant golden light ball suddenly erupted from Qiu Zi'an's body.

A golden dragon coiled on the surface of the light ball, looking magnificent.

Bang!!!

The dark red giant sword stabbed into this golden light ball, ultimately only stabbing the light ball inward, making the golden dragon on it much more illusory, but it ultimately failed to pierce this light ball.

"Peace Token?"

Qi Zhou, who had distanced himself from the two at the first moment of his attack, changed his expression.

A Peace Token that could block a Grandmaster's attack could only be of the highest level.

And there were not many such Peace Tokens in the entire imperial family!

In this operation, among the many experts of the Killing Barbarian Army, only the Regional Commander Bai Yan had obtained this level of Peace Token.

Besides that, Qi Zhou guessed that Li Fei might also have one.

In any case, Qiu Zi'an could not possibly have one.

"Unless..."

Qi Zhou's eyes became fierce, and he himself suddenly smashed toward the ground like a meteor!

The invisible threads hanging on Li Fei and Qiu Zi'an simultaneously erupted with a powerful pulling force, forcibly dragging the two down from the sky.

Amidst the roaring sound of falling sparks, the three smashed into the Northern Barbarian branch below like meteorites!

The earth trembled and cracked with spiderweb patterns, and two dazzling lights rose in the smoke and dust.

The dark red Wu Gong Domain instantly swallowed a radius of a thousand meters, almost shrouding the entire branch within it.

A purple flame bloomed in the red Wu Gong Domain, first spreading to the surroundings for more than a hundred meters, but it was soon suppressed back, ultimately only able to maintain a range of about a hundred meters in radius.

In the Wu Gong Domain, Li Fei stood beside Qiu Zi'an, who had activated the Peace Token, and looked at the other party:

"President Qiu?"

Blood spilled from the corner of Qiu Zi'an's mouth, and she shook her head:

"Thanks to the Peace Token you gave me, I'm fine."

That's right, the highest-level Peace Token on her body was quietly given to her by Li Fei.

"When did you give her the Peace Token?"

Qi Zhou's voice came from all directions, making it impossible to determine his true position.

"Qi Zhou, are you fucking crazy?!"

Qiu Zi'an wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth and said angrily.

This female Grandmaster had a fiery temper and was now completely erupting.

"Is President Qi a member of the Xintian Society?"

Li Fei said in a deep voice, stating a guess.

It was unlikely that Qi Zhou was an inside agent for the Northern Barbarians; he was a Grandmaster from the Central Plains and also a university president. What could the Northern Barbarians use to bribe him?

So it was most likely that he was a member of the Xintian Society; otherwise, it could not explain why he would suddenly attack him and Qiu Zi'an.

"A member of the Xintian Society? How could he possibly be a member of the Xintian Society?"

Qiu Zi'an was very surprised to hear this.

Qi Zhou had been a firm "Crown Prince faction" member decades ago, and after the current Son of Heaven ascended the throne, he was the undisputed "Emperor faction," a trusted and important minister trusted by the Son of Heaven.

Otherwise, how could he possibly serve as a university president?

How could he have been selected for the Killing Barbarian Army this time?

So Qiu Zi'an had never doubted Qi Zhou and had no precautions.

If it weren't for the Peace Token Li Fei quietly gave her, she would be dead by now.

"When did Marquis Jing'an start doubting me?"

Qi Zhou's voice came from all directions again.

He did not deny it.

"You motherfucker, you are actually a traitor?!"

Qiu Zi'an was furious, and then recalled the details before Bai Yan's death:

"Bai Yan's death, did you also have a hand in it?"

At that time, everyone thought Qi Zhou used 【Thread Manipulation】 to save Bai Yan, so that Bai Yan could retreat faster.

But if Qi Zhou was a member of the Xintian Society, that was also his best time to act, because at that time the Hun Tian Luo Pan above his head was temporarily interfered with by Nuomu Khan.

Qi Zhou still did not speak.

This attitude was seen as an admission by Qiu Zi'an, and she was suddenly furious:

"You beast, I must kill you!"

Li Fei also narrowed his eyes, killing intent overflowing.

So Bai Yan's death also had a part played by Qi Zhou!

He actually did not know Qi Zhou's identity, just felt very puzzled that the other party followed them in an uncharacteristic way.

From the beginning of the war, the other party fought very conservatively and did not look like someone who would sacrifice their life for the country and fight desperately at any cost.

As a result, when they could retreat safely, he risked following them?

Li Fei certainly would not doubt Qi Zhou was a traitor just because of this point.

It was just out of habitual caution that he deliberately left a hand.

After successfully strengthening his flying sword body last night, he hid it from Qi Zhou and secretly gave the Peace Token the Emperor gave him to Qiu Zi'an.

For one, his flying sword body was strengthened, his defense was greatly increased, and his reliance on the Peace Token was not so great.

For another, Qiu Zi'an was the most severely injured, and an extra Peace Token was an extra guarantee.

If something unexpected really happened later, at least this female Grandmaster would definitely stand on his side.

Facts proved that Li Fei's caution was correct!

He carefully perceived himself, but nothing unusual happened, as if those hundreds of invisible threads that had been hanging on him had never existed.

Qi Zhou's 【Thread Manipulation】 combined with 【Shadow Concealment】, even Qiu Zi'an, who was also a Grandmaster, was caught in the trick unknowingly, let alone Li Fei?

Without a perception-type supernatural ability, the 【Shadow Concealment】 supernatural ability is difficult to crack.

So even knowing that there were still 【Thread Manipulations】 secretly laid by Qi Zhou on him, Li Fei still could not find these invisible threads now.

"Be careful, his 【Spirit-Parasitizing Thousand Shadow Domain】 is most suitable for places with many people. This battlefield was specially chosen by him."

Qiu Zi'an said to Li Fei, while transmitting all the information she knew about Qi Zhou.

Qi Zhou, like most Grandmasters, broke through to become a Grandmaster with three supernatural abilities.

The first realm of Grandmaster is "Peak," and the second realm is "Spirit Derivation."

If only three supernatural abilities form a Wu Gong Domain, it is very difficult to expand the Wu Gong Domain to the limit, let alone derive new changes.

So Grandmasters who break through with three supernatural abilities usually have a limit of the Peak realm, and few people can break through to the Spirit Derivation realm.

Conversely, Grandmasters who break through with four or five supernatural abilities will easily expand the Wu Gong Domain to the limit, reaching the peak of the Peak realm. Then, several supernatural abilities combine to derive new changes, breaking through to Spirit Derivation.

As for a seven-supernatural-ability Grandmaster like Boerhu, he is Spirit Derivation as soon as he breaks through, and can soon reach the Dao-Establishing realm!

At the level of Wu Gong Master, the more supernatural abilities, the harder it is to break through.

Once reaching Grandmaster, it is just the opposite: the more supernatural abilities, the easier it is to break through.

Qi Zhou broke through with three supernatural abilities; if there were no accidents, his limit in this life could only stop at the Peak realm.

He himself was very clear about this point.

However, even the weakest three-supernatural-ability Peak-realm Grandmaster was enough to hang and beat a seven-supernatural-ability Wu Gong Master!

Not to mention Li Fei, who only had three supernatural abilities, so he was not worried.

The only thing to worry about was this female Grandmaster, Qiu Zi'an.

The other party was a Grandmaster who broke through with five supernatural abilities, with a Spirit Derivation realm peak cultivation base, and amazing killing power!

Fortunately, she was severely injured, and now it was difficult even to maintain the Wu Gong Domain.

Even in a one-on-one head-on confrontation, Qi Zhou had great confidence that he could win.

But he still chose to sneak attack Qiu Zi'an first, striving to completely control the situation.

It was a pity that he still failed.

However, he also prepared a second plan.

The place where the three fell at this time was specially chosen by him.

Besides 【Thread Manipulation】 and 【Shadow Concealment】, he had a most core supernatural ability, named 【Spirit Parasitizing】.

【Spirit Parasitizing】 allowed him to parasitize a part of his own spirit on other creatures, which could absorb other people's mental power, thus not being extinguished for a long time.

【Thread Manipulation】 plus 【Spirit Parasitizing】 allowed Qi Zhou to possess hundreds or thousands of clones!

Just after Qiu Zi'an introduced Qi Zhou's three supernatural abilities, a figure stepped on the sonic boom cloud and rushed toward this side at high speed!

This person was a Northern Barbarian warrior over two meters tall, whose own realm was only Tu-Du level, but at this moment, he erupted with power far exceeding his own limit.

Most of this power came from the transmission of 【Thread Manipulation】, which was Qi Zhou's force.

The person rushed out of the Wu Gong Domain surrounded by purple fire, and the speed slowed down immediately.

He pushed his palms forward, the fierce wind lifted the ground, and the violent palm force was like the waves of an angry sea, attacking Li Fei and Qiu Zi'an from all directions!

In an instant, Li Fei felt as if he were in the middle of the ocean, in the center of a sea storm, and would be torn to pieces in the next second!

The magnificent heavenly power was suffocating.

"Xuanjing Dao Force?"

Li Fei's eyes tightened, somewhat understanding what the effect of the cooperation between the 【Spirit Parasitizing】 supernatural ability and the 【Thread Manipulation】 supernatural ability was.

If one only used 【Thread Manipulation】 to transmit one's own force and control others' limb movements, it would be impossible to hit Dao Force no matter what.

Dao Force requires the perfect unity of a martial artist's "essence, qi, and spirit," and the target controlled by 【Thread Manipulation】 is just a marionette, which can be used for some simple martial arts. Using slightly more complex martial arts would lack charm.

But it's different with 【Spirit Parasitizing】.

Qi Zhou parasitized a part of his own spirit on the target, transmitted his own force with 【Thread Manipulation】, and then controlled it with his spirit.

In this way, the target controlled by him was temporarily equivalent to one of his clones.

As a Grandmaster, the Dao Force naturally reached the Xuanjing level, so at this time, this Northern Barbarian warrior controlled by him also displayed Xuanjing-level Dao Force!

"Let me."

Li Fei said to Qiu Zi'an, stopping the other party from taking action.

He stepped forward and slashed with his blade.

Facing Xuanjing-level Dao Force, he knew that he could not occupy the advantage in moves, so he did not intend to dismantle the moves at all.

The whole person turned into a golden stream of light, rushing up against the monstrous giant waves hundreds of meters high in front.

Boom—

The giant waves were split from the middle, the earth shook, and the rocks collapsed downward.

This Northern Barbarian tribal branch seemed to have had an earthquake!

Li Fei forcibly broke through this Xuanjing-level Dao Force with one blade and killed his way to the front of that Northern Barbarian warrior.

The qi, blood, and force within this person suddenly erupted, the flesh and blood of the whole body disintegrated, and the bones made a groaning sound that could not bear the burden.

His whole person seemed to have been completely ignited, suddenly erupting with stronger power, ignoring the Ghost-Slaying Blade slashed by Li Fei, his right leg swept toward Li Fei's temple like a battle axe, and his trouser legs burned into ashes in the supersonic swing!

Li Fei did not dodge or evade, letting this leg kick his head.

Bang!!!

The explosive sound of gold and stone colliding spread far away, Li Fei just shook his head slightly, and then slashed the Northern Barbarian warrior in front of him in half with one blade.

While slashing this blade, Li Fei also consumed 100 blood souls to launch a 【Blood Might God】, bombarding the spirit parasitized by Qi Zhou!

With just one strike, this group of spirits was beaten to pieces.

But this group of spirits was scattered but not damaged, turning into countless broken stars, rapidly flying out of Qiu Zi'an's Wu Gong Domain.

"Sure enough..."

Li Fei's spirit tightened.

【Spirit Parasitizing】 not only allowed Qi Zhou to parasitize a part of his own spirit on others, but also made this part of the spirit extremely difficult to be worn away!

If it weren't for this, a 【Clone】 supernatural ability could achieve the effect of Qi Zhou's two supernatural abilities superimposed, and the effect would be even better.

The number of clones created by the 【Clone】 supernatural ability is limited, and after the clones are destroyed, they cannot be restored in a short time.

And Qi Zhou's "clones" are different.

As long as his spirit is not extinguished, his force is sufficient, and there are enough creatures around, he can continuously create new clones!

Another sonic boom sound came, and a Tu-Du level Northern Barbarian warrior killed his way into Qiu Zi'an's Wu Gong Domain again.

This Northern Barbarian warrior had already "ignited" himself when rushing over, his whole body's qi and blood were burning, his acupoints exploded, and his meridians were broken!

Obviously, Qi Zhou cast more than one "self-mutilating" secret technique.

He was using the "clones" as disposable consumables!

There were thousands of Northern Barbarians in the place where the three fell, so Qi Zhou had plenty of "consumables."

Under such circumstances, the best choice was naturally to attack Qi Zhou's main body directly.

But Qi Zhou had the 【Shadow Concealment】 supernatural ability.

Neither Li Fei nor Qiu Zi'an had perception-type supernatural abilities and could not find the location of the other party's main body.

As for leaving this place.

At this time, Qi Zhou's 【Spirit-Parasitizing Thousand Shadow Domain】 had already shrouded a radius of a thousand meters. If they did not break his Wu Gong Domain, the two could not leave.

Just look at Qiu Zi'an's Wu Gong Domain, which was suppressed to a range of less than a hundred meters, and you know that with the current state of this female Grandmaster, she certainly could not break the 【Spirit-Parasitizing Thousand Shadow Domain】.

Qi Zhou's plan was very simple: wear Qiu Zi'an to death first, and then free up his hands to slowly clean up Li Fei!
