Chapter 470: Force and Technique

In the air, Li Fei, who was pulled by thousands of transparent threads, suddenly retracted his hands and feet, forcibly breaking many threads.

"How?"

Qi Zhou was very surprised.

His 【Thread Manipulation】 did not rely purely on brute force to pull the target, but contained extremely complex techniques, such as unloading force, resolving force, power absorption, conduction, etc.

So even if the target's own power was greater than the power of 【Thread Manipulation】, it was very difficult to break free from the restraint.

Li Fei was in his 【Spirit-Parasitizing Thousand Shadow Domain】 at this time, would be suppressed by the Martial Arts Domain, and the power of 【Thread Manipulation】 was greatly improved.

So normally, it was impossible for Li Fei to break free from the control of 【Thread Manipulation】.

But now, the power Li Fei erupted was simply amazing!

If Qi Zhou had bound a giant elephant just now, then it had now turned into a dragon!

Before the flying sword body was strengthened, Li Fei's body's endurance limit of Blood Rage force was 580 units, and after entering the "Blood Demon State," it became 1160 units.

Counting his original body strength, it was roughly equivalent to 1300 units of Blood Rage force.

After the flying sword body was strengthened, Li Fei's own body strength was equivalent to 300 units of Blood Rage force, and after entering the Blood Demon State, his physical fitness was greatly improved, reaching 500+ units of Blood Rage force.

Just now in Qiu Zi'an's Martial Arts Domain, Li Fei had not used 【Blood Rage】, but only entered the "Blood Demon State," relying on his own body strength plus force to fight Qi Zhou's clones.

And now, he used 【Blood Rage】.

After the flying sword body was strengthened, what improved the most was not body strength, but the body's defensive power and bearing capacity.

Li Fei's endurance limit in the normal state increased from 580 units of Blood Rage force to 1000 units of Blood Rage force!

In the "Blood Demon State," the endurance limit became 2000 units of Blood Rage force.

Plus the original body strength, his limit physical strength exceeded 2500 units of Blood Rage force!

After so much exploration, Li Fei roughly understood that 1 unit of blood soul converted into Blood Rage force could roughly allow an ordinary person to lift 600 jin of heavy objects.

2500 units of Blood Rage force is equivalent to allowing a person to lift 750 tons of heavy objects!

And lifting power and explosive power are not the same thing; there is also the issue of explosive coefficient and power exertion degree.

The stronger the control over the body and the more perfect the force-exerting technique, the higher the explosive power will be.

Ordinary people can lift 100 jin of heavy objects, but may not be able to hit a 100-jin punch.

Trained boxers can hit punches close to their own body weight or even exceeding their own body weight.

Martial artists can naturally double on this basis, and if there is a power-type supernatural ability, they can even hit punches more than ten times their own body weight!

Li Fei's control over himself was naturally at the master level.

Although he did not have a power-type supernatural ability and supernatural ability, he was a flying sword body, and his body strength could naturally condense together, equivalent to a "sword tip."

So his "power explosive coefficient" was second only to those martial artists with power-type supernatural abilities.

Being able to lift 750 tons of heavy objects, he could erupt an explosive force of over 10,000 tons!

The golden light on his body surface originally gave people a feeling of being indestructible like diamond, but at this moment it became sharp, and the whole person was like a peerless precious sword.

Besides being sturdy, the flying sword body had the characteristic of being sharp!

Li Fei completed a rotation movement in the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

Sonic boom sounds were continuous, and transparent threads were broken one after another!

He fell from the air and returned to the ground.

The pulling force synthesized by Qi Zhou's 【Thread Manipulation】 was about 3000 tons, but at a single point, the power was not that great.

When Li Fei erupted with a ten-thousand-ton explosive force, combined with the sharpness of the flying sword body and the characteristic of highly condensed power, concentrating most of the power on one part, he formed an absolute crushing in the local area!

No matter how these threads unloaded force, resolved force, and transmitted power, they could not block this explosive force, so they were naturally broken.

Li Fei repeated this, and with the rotation movement, he constantly transferred power to the next part, thereby breaking most of the threads one after another.

"Actually body strength, how is it possible?"

Qi Zhou perceived through 【Thread Manipulation】 that Li Fei was mainly relying on physical strength at this moment, which made him very surprised.

From martial artist to martial master, then to Dao-Foundation stage, from body strength to innate qi, then to force, and force fused with various innate qi—

The path of strengthening for low- and middle-realm martial artists can be simply seen as the continuous increase of absolute power.

Whoever has stronger power and faster speed has the advantage.

But starting from Martial Arts Master, absolute power is no longer the core pursuit of martial artists.

Various supernatural abilities are the key to dominating the outcome.

No matter how strong your force is and how high your attack power is, if I release an 【Indestructible】 supernatural ability, what can you do to me?

Or facing a Martial Arts Master with the 【No Distance】 supernatural ability, even if you can punch a mountain to pieces, what's the use if you can't hit the opponent?

So at high realms, most martial artists will no longer purely pursue greater output and faster speed.

From Martial Arts Master to Grandmaster, the increase in absolute power is not great; what truly produces a qualitative change is the way of using energy, which is the Martial Arts Domain.

The maximum pulling force Qi Zhou's 【Thread Manipulation】 can produce is 3000+ tons, which is actually enough.

He has not encountered Grandmasters with power-type supernatural abilities. After the Martial Arts Domains of the two sides offset each other, the supernatural abilities of both sides will be affected.

Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Grandmasters with power-type supernatural abilities to forcibly break his 【Thread Manipulation】. After all, these threads are actually difficult to break with brute force, and ultimately it is still a comparison of the strength of the two sides' Martial Arts Domains.

As for Martial Arts Masters with power-type supernatural abilities, there is no need to consider them at all.

Once the Martial Arts Domain is opened, all supernatural abilities are useless.

It was Qi Zhou's first time encountering someone who did not rely on power-type supernatural abilities but could possess such terrifying power!

Is this still a person?

Simply a humanoid exotic beast, no, even more terrifying than an exotic beast!

Even those large exotic beasts of the seventh grade, their weight is about a hundred tons, and without using power-type supernatural abilities, they absolutely cannot hit power more than a hundred times their own body weight.

"Is this also a specialty brought by the Great Dao Body? Super strong life force and body strength?"

Qi Zhou could only attribute all these incredible phenomena to the "Great Dao Body."

His mind moved, and another clone killed toward Li Fei.

This clone broke through a wooden house, carrying air shock waves, and rushed toward Li Fei aggressively.

This barbarian warrior controlled by him wore a bronze ghost mask, the bulging muscles shattered the leather armor, and sixteen sonic boom rings were brought up between the flipping palms.

In an instant, Li Fei was surrounded by a boundless sea of fire, and sixteen fire dragons bit toward him!

Boom, boom, boom, boom—

Li Fei let these fire dragons bite him, and at the same time, he was hit by sixteen palms, making an explosive sound like thunder.

He stood still on the spot, but the ground under his feet constantly collapsed downward.

He held the blade with both hands and slashed horizontally. Under the blessing of terrifying power, he almost instantly broke through the flames in front of him and the opponent's protective force!

But just as the blade edge was about to touch the opponent's waist, hundreds of transparent threads appeared out of thin air on the Ghost-Slaying Blade, and a huge pulling force suddenly arose, and it was pulling the blade edge in the direction Li Fei slashed.

The blade edge was pulled aside by three inches, and then broke through an afterimage.

The barbarian warrior wearing the bronze ghost mask completed a displacement in the sea of fire with a flash, and instantly came behind Li Fei.

Li Fei wanted to take a step forward to dodge the attack behind him, but hundreds of transparent threads suddenly appeared on his left leg, pulling forward along with his power, destroying his movement rhythm instead.

It was just in this split second that the clone behind him swung his right arm, and his right palm slammed heavily on the back of Li Fei's head. The monstrous sea of fire condensed into a fireball and then exploded in his palm!

Boom—

Without the suppression of Qiu Zi'an's Martial Arts Domain, the combat power of Qi Zhou's clone was clearly improved by a level.

More importantly, Qi Zhou could use 【Thread Manipulation】 to interfere with Li Fei at a critical moment.

Facing an opponent of the same realm, he definitely couldn't "hard-control" them, so this fighting style was actually what he was best at.

With 【Shadow Concealment】 covering, Li Fei couldn't perceive where 【Thread Manipulation】 would appear in advance at all, and could only be passive.

He was blown forward, crashing through two totem-carved stone pillars.

He bounced up with one hand supporting the ground, completed a turn in the air, and at the same time slashed downward with both hands holding the blade.

This time he still failed to hit the clone, but the shock wave slashed by the Ghost-Slaying Blade had already separated the sea of fire!

The clone appeared behind Li Fei again, repeating the old trick, and another palm slammed toward the back of his head.

Li Fei leaned back sharply, taking the initiative to hit the opponent's palm with his head.

The clone's hand bone was broken by the collision, and the palm turned into meat paste!

Qi Zhou deliberately chose a flexible fighting style, not letting the clone collide head-on with Li Fei.

But Li Fei's power was too terrifying now; touching it meant injury, and hitting it meant death!

Breaking the opponent's attack with the back of his head, Li Fei twisted behind him, turned around and swept horizontally with his blade behind him.

At a critical moment, threads appeared again, wanting to pull his body to continue rotating.

But he forcibly stopped the momentum of rotation, and at the same time raised his right leg and kicked the clone!

After figuring out Qi Zhou's fighting style, he chose to deliberately reserve power, using four parts and leaving six parts.

Anyway, even if it was only four parts of power, it was still a giant force that Qi Zhou's clone could hardly resist!

Slap—

This leg first kicked the clone's calf, as if kicking a lump of mud, the flesh and bones all exploded, and then spread all the way up.

Li Fei kicked this clone to pieces with one leg!

And just as he kicked, a figure suddenly rushed out of the sea of fire behind him.

This body no longer had flesh and blood, the whole body's bones were red like a branding iron, and both hands were holding a heavy hammer, hammering heavily on Li Fei's crown!

At the same time, the surrounding sea of fire seemed to be swallowed by a whale, frantically concentrating on the place where the double hammers were hammering, forming a giant flame vortex.

Controlling two clones at the same time!

This was a means Qi Zhou had never shown before.

He had always been controlling a new clone out after one clone was smashed, making people mistakenly think that he could only control one clone at a time.

But in fact, this was not his limit.

Li Fei was hammered heavily into the ground by the double hammers, the mud and rock layer under his feet were as soft as tofu, breaking and collapsing one after another!

Li Fei, who took this blow, had the Golden Jade Kirin Armor on his head damaged, but the golden light on his body surface was still not broken.

Qi Zhou, who was hiding in the dark, frowned slightly.

The clones he controlled all used Xuanjing-level Dao Force, plus the blessing of the power of a whole small world, so the attack power was not weak.

As a result, it failed to break Li Fei's defense?

Except for the 【Indestructible】 supernatural ability, Qi Zhou had never seen a defense harder than this!

He snorted coldly, suddenly gave up controlling the clone that only had bones left, and actively dissipated the spirit parasitized on it.

Li Fei rushed out of the giant pit and easily smashed this clone.

Then he saw two figures attacking him. These two clones were on the left and right, and when they were only a hundred meters away from him, they attacked at the same time.

On one side was a monstrous sea of fire, and on the other was the waves of an angry sea.

One fire and one water, one yin and one yang, one hard and one soft.

Two completely different artistic conceptions were fused together, and with the position where Li Fei was as the center, it rotated at high speed like a Taiji diagram.

Li Fei immediately felt pulling force, suppressing force, cutting force, spiral force, etc., from all directions, and hundreds of different forces acted on him!

Not only that, thousands of threads also hung on him again.

This time Qi Zhou did not use clones to attack Li Fei, but controlled two clones to cast two different control-type Dao Forces at the same time.

Two control-type Dao Forces combined, plus the containment of 【Thread Manipulation】, once again formed a "hard-control" on Li Fei!

The ground where Li Fei was located constantly collapsed downward. He felt as if he were in the eye of a storm formed by hundreds of tornadoes together. He slashed out with one blade, and had to be constantly pulled and decomposed by forces from dozens of directions at the same time.

Even if he had a terrifying explosive power of ten thousand tons, it was difficult to break free from such multiple controls.

Not only that, these external forces were also frantically wearing down the golden light on his body surface, like hundreds of high-speed rotating drills polishing a diamond at the same time!

In just a few seconds, the golden light on Li Fei's body surface showed cracks again.

No matter how strong the Golden Body and Jade Marrow is, it is ultimately not a defensive supernatural ability, and even martial arts can break the defense.

If it were a supernatural ability like 【Indestructible】 or 【Shield of Thorns】, these two Dao Forces of Qi Zhou would not be able to take effect.

But it had a miraculous effect on Li Fei!

This was the reason why Qi Zhou suddenly changed his strategy.

"Although the Great Dao Body is powerful, it ultimately cannot break the shackles of the realm."

Qiming's evaluation of Li Fei appeared in Qi Zhou's mind again.

Just when the golden light on Li Fei's body surface was about to completely shatter, the force in his body completed the seal.

Jin Gang Seal: Dragon Elephant!

Previously, his super-limit power could only reach 2000+ units of Blood Rage force.

But now, the super-limit power would exceed 5000 units of Blood Rage force!

Ten thousand tons of explosive power is not enough, then twenty thousand tons.

You have technique, I have brute force!

Boom—

The earth shook.

The vortex formed by water and fire was split from the middle, and immediately after, the two clones exploded into two masses of flesh and blood!

Li Fei "looked" at the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl in his body. Just now, this super-limit attack only consumed 100+ blood souls.

"Sure enough, it worked!"

He couldn't help but show a smile.

Previously, when he used super-limit attacks, because the power exceeded his own endurance limit, one use would consume 500+ blood souls.

Now the super-limit power doubled, and theoretically, the damage suffered by the body would also double.

But when he strengthened the flying sword body last night, he deliberately used the Hun Tian Luo Pan to do relevant analysis:

"How to minimize the damage suffered by the body when the power exceeds one's own endurance limit?"

The answer obtained was: When the power is super-limit, concentrate the Blood Rage force in the body on specific parts, and then carry out targeted strengthening on these parts, making them more "resilient" to power of the nature of Blood Rage force.

In this way, although Li Fei's super-limit power doubled, the damage suffered was greatly reduced.

"Come again—"

He held the blade with one hand and shouted loudly.
