Chapter 485

On the plain, two pillars of energy, one gold and one white, collided together.

Two huge vortices appeared in the air, and the two pillars of energy constantly produced harsh friction and shattering sounds!

Li Fei didn't use 【No Distance】, nor did he use the Ghost Slaying Blade; he brought the golden pillar of energy and crashed toward Xiao Tao, drawing a gully on the plain.

Just a simple charge, yet it brought great pressure to Xiao Tao!

In the process of charging forward, Li Fei's body also swelled, eventually reaching over two meters tall, and his whole body was also wrapped in golden scales.

Xiao Tao lowered his center of gravity, took a step forward, and just as Li Fei's charge was about to reach its peak, he clenched his right fist and took the lead to blast toward Li Fei's head.

It looked as if Li Fei had intentionally bumped his head into it!

Li Fei raised his left hand, suddenly placing it on Xiao Tao's thick wrist like a phantom.

An incomparably strong force surged from Li Fei's left hand, forcibly stopping Xiao Tao's right fist, while simultaneously raising his right fist to strike the other party's chest.

Xiao Tao's expression remained unchanged, letting Li Fei's fist blast toward his chest.

Boom—

Behind Li Fei, the "Heavenly Gate" opened wide, and a large amount of heaven and earth energy surged into his body like a tide, and then was all condensed together, blasting out from his right fist!

The strength of a divine ability also has a lot to do with the martial artist's application.

Li Fei had possessed the 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 divine ability for so long, and his application of this divine ability was becoming more and more proficient and powerful.

This punch carrying the power of heaven and earth hit Xiao Tao's chest squarely.

The white pillar of energy in the air instantly dissipated and disappeared!

Immediately after, a huge cloud of dust exploded on the ground hundreds of meters away, and a series of thunderous roars sounded.

Xiao Ji Xiuyong, who was watching the battle, only saw Li Fei's figure blur, then felt the earth shaking violently, and immediately saw two light shadows, one gold and one black, collide together.

Finally, he saw Li Fei standing in place, while Xiao Tao was blasted away.

This couldn't help but make Xiao Ji Xiuyong's expression change.

However, he had absolute confidence in Xiao Tao and could still hold on for the time being.

Xiao Tao jumped out of a large pit with a calm expression.

In the first round of the battle, he intentionally weighed Li Fei's true combat power.

There were many legendary battle records about this Marquis Jing'an, the most famous of which was undoubtedly blocking the attack of the "Demon" Qiming.

But for those who were truly "in the know," that strike must have been blocked by the "God of War" Wen Wen Ren Zheng who was beside Li Fei at the time.

At that time, Li Fei was only a Dao Foundation martial artist; how could he block the attack of a peak powerhouse?

Anyone could tell with their feet that this was impossible!

It was only some common people and bottom-level Jianghu figures who would believe such rumors.

In this Northern Barbarian war, whether it was killing two Great Elders or severely injuring the Northern Barbarian King, Li Fei joined forces with several Grandmasters and top-level True Persons, and also borrowed the power of the military formation.

The only ones he truly beheaded with his own power were five Martial Arts Masters.

And among those five Martial Arts Masters, not one exceeded four abilities; if Xiao Tao went, he could also do it!

Among Li Fei's significant battle records, there was also the Grandmaster Qi Zhou.

This matter was intentionally suppressed by the imperial court, and not many people knew about it, but the Xiao family knew the inside story.

Although Xiao Tao called himself a servant, he could actually be considered the butler beside Xiao Ji Xiuyong, and his authority and status were actually very high.

Otherwise, he couldn't possibly possess a Level 7 Divine Garment as defensive gear.

Even for a family as strong as the Xiao family, there weren't many such divine garments.

So Xiao Tao knew about Qi Zhou's matter.

And he also knew that Changping University Principal Qiu Zi'an had fallen in realm to behead Qi Zhou.

In his view, being able to behead Qi Zhou mainly relied on Qiu Zi'an; what help could Li Fei, a Martial Arts Master, provide?

When Li Fei was only two abilities, he fought to a draw with the five-ability Luo Xu in Killing Barbarian City.

Now that Li Fei was three abilities, Xiao Tao regarded him as a Martial Arts Master with six abilities; he felt he had already overestimated this peerless genius of history enough!

After all, from two abilities to three abilities, and from five abilities to six abilities, both only increased by one divine ability, but the improvement in combat power was completely not on the same level!

When Xiao Tao jumped out of the pit, Li Fei happened to charge over, and another punch hit his chest.

He didn't block or dodge, letting Li Fei punch, while a white Bodhisattva image over ten meters tall suddenly appeared behind him.

This Bodhisattva had his hands folded, his face compassionate, and a halo behind his head.

Bang!

Li Fei hit Xiao Tao's chest, another punch carrying the power of heaven and earth, but this time it didn't make Xiao Tao retreat half a step, only the white Bodhisattva image behind him swayed slightly.

At the same time, Xiao Tao also punched Li Fei.

Li Fei repeated the old trick, grabbing the other party's wrist with his left hand again.

But Xiao Tao's power had increased several times compared to just now, breaking Li Fei's left-hand restraint in one go!

Li Fei suddenly disappeared in place, letting Xiao Tao's punch miss.

Boom—

The fierce fist wind pressed the mud and gravel on the ground downward, hitting a huge fist print.

Li Fei appeared above Xiao Tao's head, stepping on the head wrapped in black scales with one foot.

Normally, this kick would be enough to stomp Xiao Tao directly into the ground.

But Xiao Tao took this kick from Li Fei, yet it seemed as if he didn't receive any force at all; the mud under his feet didn't change in the slightest, but the head of the Bodhisattva image behind him swayed.

Li Fei glanced at this image, lost in thought.

It seemed that the other party's divine ability was somewhat similar to his own Ten Thousand Blood Pearl in principle.

After Xiao Tao took Li Fei's kick, a vast force erupted from his body, instantly covering a range of dozens of meters around him.

Li Fei suddenly felt his body become incomparably heavy, as if carrying a heavy object of hundreds of thousands of catties; everything around him became blurred, and heaven and earth seemed to be constantly twisting and deforming!

Dao force—【Heaven and Earth Journey】!

Swish swish swish swish swish—

After using a Xuan Jing level Dao force, Xiao Tao's hands suddenly turned into dozens of phantoms, frantically punching at Li Fei above his head!

Li Fei used 【No Distance】 to appear behind Xiao Tao, but just as he appeared, hundreds of giant forces surged from all directions.

Xiao Tao was clearly punching above his head, but every fist force miraculously transmitted behind him.

This was the mystery of his Xuan Jing level Dao force 【Heaven and Earth Journey】, which could borrow the power of heaven and earth to transmit his fist force, achieving an effect similar to 【No Distance】!

As long as Li Fei was still within the range of this Xuan Jing Dao force, even if he used 【No Distance】, he couldn't avoid Xiao Tao's attack.

Hit by hundreds of fist forces, Li Fei's Golden Jade Scale Armor constantly dented and deformed inward.

However, the golden light on his body remained as stable as a mountain.

"Marquis, just like this, you can't beat me to death."

Xiao Tao's voice sounded on the plain.

Although he had always been very steady and calm, Li Fei's words just now still made this top-tier Martial Arts Master feel some anger in his heart.

"Then I'm relieved."

Li Fei said indifferently, while consuming 1000 blood souls to use the 【Blood Rage】 divine ability!

Immediately after, he appeared above Xiao Tao's head again and stepped down.

Xiao Tao folded his hands and lifted them upward, like a Bodhisattva holding up a heavenly pagoda.

The heaven and earth energy around was divided into two parts, one part entered Li Fei's body and then impacted downward.

One part was controlled by Xiao Tao and pulled upward.

The two forces formed a counter-impact, and in the end, Li Fei's divine ability still surpassed Xiao Tao's Xuan Jing Dao force, but the remaining heaven and earth energy was already not much.

Then it was Li Fei's sole hitting Xiao Tao's palm.

A silent collision, and the Bodhisattva image behind Xiao Tao was suddenly covered in cracks!

But the next instant, this image recovered again.

Li Fei and Xiao Tao formed a confrontation, one above and one below.

"Such strong power!"

Xiao Tao exclaimed in his heart.

Whether it was martial arts or divine abilities, the path he walked was the "Path of Force."

The Bodhisattva image behind him came from the divine ability 【Bodhi Image】, which could allow him to possess an external avatar from Buddhist legends.

This external avatar could be used to cultivate some special martial arts and could store extra force and heaven and earth energy for him.

Most importantly, it could bear all damage for him!

Martial artists who walk the "Path of Force" will eventually encounter a problem—the body has limits and cannot bear too strong a force.

After all, humans are not exotic beasts.

The first divine ability Xiao Tao condensed was 【Bodhi Image】, allowing him to have a powerful external avatar to replace him in bearing the backlash of excessive force!

Just like Qiu Zi'an, who used all divine abilities to strengthen and assist a fire divine ability, Xiao Tao's other five divine abilities were all used to strengthen this Bodhisattva image behind him.

For example, restoring the Bodhisattva image just now was the divine ability 【Offering Incense】, which could use the power of incense to constantly strengthen the Buddhist golden body or image. In battle, it could use the incense power accumulated on weekdays to restore the damage to the image.

Combining 【Offering Incense】 and 【Bodhi Image】 made Xiao Tao's survival ability extremely high.

So hearing Li Fei say he was afraid of beating him to death, he only sneered in his heart!

The confrontation with Li Fei only lasted for an instant before Li Fei disappeared again, appearing behind Xiao Tao, blasting a punch toward the other party's back.

The Bodhisattva image over ten meters tall suddenly had a flood dragon circling it, and a huge white elephant as a mount appeared under it.

Xiao Tao didn't turn around to deal with Li Fei behind him, but blasted his fists straight forward.

The fist momentum looked slow and heavy, as if dragging a divine mountain.

A vast force appeared out of thin air behind him, hitting Li Fei's fist.

Boom!!!!

A huge explosion resounded through the plain, and the earth under their feet was trampled like tofu, shattered, and collapsed downward.

With the two as the center, a dozen cracks spread in all directions.

The colliding wind formed a storm on the plain!

"【Dragon Elephant】 divine ability?"

Qin Zhen, who was watching the battle, had azure light flickering in his eyes; he had been staring at the center of the two's collision and recognized the divine ability Xiao Tao had just used.

The 【Dragon Elephant】 divine ability could allow a martial artist to possess the blessing of Dragon Elephant power, and as time passed, the blessed power would continue to rise, eventually reaching the level of "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants."

The so-called "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants" was just a metaphor; the real situation was that it could allow a martial artist's base power to increase tenfold!

Therefore, the stronger the martial artist's base power, the more terrifying it was to use the 【Dragon Elephant】 divine ability.

This was an extremely simple and crude divine ability!

Under normal circumstances, martial artists with the 【Dragon Elephant】 divine ability would use it in combination with other divine abilities, because using the 【Dragon Elephant】 divine ability alone, no one's body strength could support a tenfold explosion of power.

Xiao Tao used the 【Dragon Elephant】 divine ability on the Bodhisattva image, which could be said to complement each other.

However, he was still at a disadvantage in a head-on clash with Li Fei this time, and there were more cracks on the Bodhisattva image behind him.

Li Fei didn't continue to teleport away, but stood in place and continued to punch.

Xiao Tao turned around and punched, clashing with Li Fei for the second time.

This time, the power he erupted was stronger, gaining more Dragon Elephant power blessings.

After one punch, the two blasted out the third punch almost at the same time.

Possessing 【No Distance】, Li Fei could actually fight more flexibly and cause more consumption to Xiao Tao.

But after determining Xiao Tao's style, he intentionally gave up other techniques and just fought the other party fist-to-fist!

To some extent, he could also be considered a martial artist of the "Path of Force," and this was the first time he had encountered an opponent with the same style.

The divine ability Xiao Tao displayed was very inspiring to him, so he had the heart to let Xiao Tao unleash his power.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

On the plain, it was as if heavenly thunder was rolling down, the earth constantly shook, and dust filled the sky.

The two who were clashing didn't retreat a single step, and the two pillars of energy, one gold and one white, reappeared, entangled together, stirring the clouds!

The Bodhisattva image behind Xiao Tao constantly appeared with cracks, and was constantly repaired by the power of incense.

This external avatar of his had to bear the damage caused by his own excessive power, and also had to bear external damage, so it needed the power of incense to continue to repair it, otherwise it wouldn't last long.

As time passed, his Dragon Elephant power became stronger and stronger, and after Li Fei clashed more than a hundred punches, it finally reached the level of "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants"!

"Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants" could increase base power tenfold, and Xiao Tao had other divine ability blessings on the Bodhisattva image, so the power he erupted at this moment was more than tenfold!

Pop—

With palm against fist, Xiao Tao suddenly changed his move, his left hand buckled Li Fei's right wrist, and while pulling Li Fei toward himself, he used his right hand to grab Li Fei's right elbow joint.

After reaching "Ten Dragons and Ten Elephants," his power was already equal to Li Fei's, so he suddenly changed his move and used grappling techniques to deal with Li Fei.

Erupting such strong power, he believed that Li Fei's body's bearing capacity must have already reached its limit, and as long as he applied force to the joints, he could easily snap Li Fei's bones!

He pinched Li Fei's wrist with his left hand and pressed Li Fei's elbow joint with his right hand, mixing force with heaven and earth energy to form an invisible lock, pulling, exploding, and erupting along with his own power!

At the same time, a Bodhisattva image stepping on a white elephant and surrounded by a white dragon appeared in Li Fei's heart lake, wanting to suppress his heart-mind.

This was a grappling technique combining divine ability and Xuan Jing Dao force!

Li Fei's heart-mind was indeed affected, and his movements stalled.

But Xiao Tao's sure-to-win strike failed to snap Li Fei's bones, and all the power was like a stone sinking into the sea.

The next second, the Bodhisattva image that invaded Li Fei's heart lake was swallowed by the monstrous sea of blood.

Li Fei's heart-mind recovered as usual, and he looked at him.

Xiao Tao was about to exert force a second time when he suddenly sensed that Li Fei's force had completed a rapid circulation within his body.

Vajra Seal · Dragon Elephant!

Li Fei's right arm, which was held by both hands, forcibly broke free, and his left hand blasted a punch onto Xiao Tao's lower abdomen.

A vast force far beyond Xiao Tao's imagination erupted!

With just one hit, the Bodhisattva image behind Xiao Tao shattered completely!

He disappeared in place, and then a large pit appeared on the ground a thousand meters away, with dust rolling.

"How is it possible..."

Xiao Tao looked astonished.

Li Fei clearly didn't have any power-type divine abilities; how could he possess such incredible power?

How did his body bear it?

After blasting that punch just now, didn't it shatter?

At this time, Li Fei had already chased after him using 【No Distance】, appearing above Xiao Tao's head again, and stepped down with one foot.

Xiao Tao urged 【Offering Incense】, using the power of incense to reshape the Bodhisattva image, and also added a layer of golden light.

The clearly illusory image suddenly became incomparably real. When Li Fei and Xiao Tao's palms and fists met, this Bodhisattva image covered in golden light opened its hands and slapped toward Li Fei!

Li Fei disappeared, dodging the image's attack, and suddenly appeared on the left side of Xiao Tao's body.

The Bodhisattva image suddenly hallucinated thousands of arms, frantically whipping toward the surroundings!

Boom boom boom boom—

Countless forces blasted onto Li Fei out of thin air!

Scales flew from Li Fei's Golden Jade Scale Armor, but the golden light on his body remained as stable as a mountain.

The "Mixed Origin Heavenly Gold Body" brought by 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 could also enhance defensive power, so Li Fei's defensive power at this time was stronger than when he faced Qi Zhou, because he couldn't use 【Mixed Heaven Golden Palace】 back then.

Li Fei disappeared again, this time appearing on top of that golden-light-covered Bodhisattva image, kicking toward the other party's head!

The Bodhisattva image's thousands of arms frantically whipped toward him at the same time.

Bang—

Facing the thousand-hand strike, Li Fei kicked the Bodhisattva image's head, making it dent inward, and cracks appeared on its body again, but the image didn't shatter.

After this image condensed, its defensive power and damage-bearing ability also rose to a higher level!

At the same time, Xiao Tao was also punching rapidly, using 【Heaven and Earth Journey】 to transmit his power through the air, blasting onto Li Fei.

Whether it was him or the Bodhisattva image, the power was equal.

So when he condensed the image into a real external avatar, his power was also equivalent to doubling!

Li Fei first teleported a hundred meters away, leaving the range covered by Xiao Tao's Xuan Jing Dao force, making it temporarily impossible for the other party to hit him.

Watching Xiao Tao charge toward his side, he consumed another 600 blood souls to use the 【Refining Matter】 divine ability to convert into power!

Because Li Fei was already familiar with the "Path of Force," the "conversion rate" of the 【Refining Matter】 divine ability in pure power was higher than 【Blood Rage】, and 600 blood souls converted into power were roughly equivalent to 800 blood rage power!

However, this was a one-time thing, unlike 【Blood Rage】 which could last for ten minutes.

But there was also an advantage: this was the superposition of external power, which didn't need the body to bear extra, so it didn't cause damage.

Immediately after, Li Fei disappeared and appeared in front of that Bodhisattva image again.

The Ghost Slaying Blade, which had been carried on his back and locked by the Golden Jade Scale Armor, was drawn.

Over twenty thousand tons of terrifying power were blessed on this blade!

The blade light cut through this Bodhisattva image from top to bottom, and also cut open the bodies of the white dragon and white elephant.

With one blade, the golden light was cut open, the image shattered, and completely dissipated!

Xiao Tao spat out a mouthful of blood.

After the image condensed, his combat power was indeed doubled, but once the image was broken, he himself would also suffer damage.

Immediately after, Li Fei appeared in front of Xiao Tao, and another vertical slash.

Xiao Tao hurriedly raised his arm to block, while the Bodhisattva image appeared behind him again, only this time it didn't condense again.

The blade edge landed on his arm, first cutting open the black scales, then the Bodhisattva image behind him appeared with a crack from his forehead to his lower abdomen, finally splitting into two halves!

Immediately after, the blade edge cut open Xiao Tao's flesh and blood, hitting his arm bone.

Xiao Tao groaned, stepped with his feet to borrow force and retreat, while summoning the Bodhisattva image again and condensing it.

He and the Bodhisattva image exerted force together, transmitting the power through the air to Li Fei's side.

Li Fei disappeared in place and appeared in front of the Bodhisattva image.

Seeing him about to raise the blade to hack again, Xiao Tao hurriedly slapped his palms rapidly with the Bodhisattva image, and hundreds of majestic palm forces, together with heaven and earth energy and force, formed an invisible lock, trying to lock Li Fei's body.

This was already an explosion equivalent to more than twenty times Xiao Tao's base power!

Li Fei didn't continue to use 【No Distance】 to dodge.

If he kept dodging, he wouldn't be able to attack.

He had already probed Xiao Tao's limits and trump cards, and it was time to end this battle!

First, he formed the Vajra Seal internally, then used the 【Refining Matter】 divine ability to refine 1400 blood souls into power!

The invisible "lock" wrestled with the power erupted by Li Fei.

It only held for half a second before the "chains" began to collapse!

Li Fei, like a god of strength descending to the world, stood against Xiao Tao's power, swung his right arm, and slashed down with one blade.

The golden-light-covered Bodhisattva image was cut open again, and the white dragon and white elephant were also cut into two sections, finally shattering with a bang!

Xiao Tao spat out another mouthful of blood, already seriously injured, and didn't dare to condense the image again.

But if he didn't condense the image, he couldn't fight Li Fei even more!

A blade light flashed before his eyes, and Li Fei had already slashed over.

Xiao Tao looked bitter, and could only consume the power of incense to reshape the image again.

Then the image shattered again, and his right arm used for blocking was hit by the blade, cut off at the elbow!

"I..."

Xiao Tao shouted while borrowing force to retreat, while re-condensing the image.

Li Fei appeared behind him instantly and kicked his lower back.

Bang—

Xiao Tao was kicked forward, and the image was covered in cracks.

"Ad..."

Li Fei appeared above his head again and stepped down heavily.

Boom!!!

The re-condensed image shattered again, and Xiao Tao was blasted heavily into the ground like a cannonball.

"... mit defeat—"

Up to this point, the three words "I admit defeat" were fully shouted, resounding through the plain.

A gust of wind blew away the dust, allowing the two spectators to see the picture clearly:

Li Fei stood at the edge of a large pit, holding the blade in one hand.

In the pit, Xiao Tao's scale armor was covered in blood, his right arm was cut off at the elbow, and he lay on the ground powerlessly.

"."

Xiao Ji Xiuyong stood on the hillside, staring dead at Xiao Tao in the distance, unable to accept this result!

Not far away, Qin Zhen let out a satisfied sigh, feeling it was a worthwhile trip, and turned to leave directly.

Li Fei sheathed his blade and glanced at Xiao Tao, who hadn't climbed up from the pit:

"There won't be a next time."

Xiao Tao opened his mouth to speak, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

He understood what Li Fei meant by this sentence:

This was the first and last time the Xiao family provoked him.

If there were a next time, someone would really die!

After speaking, Li Fei soared into the sky and left using the wind-riding technique.

From beginning to end, he didn't even look at Xiao Ji Xiuyong once.

On the plain.

The dust hadn't settled, and the dragon and elephant had already submitted.

Seeking monthly votes.
