Chapter 541: Blood Might Seven Kills, Gunfire Gift

On the highway, when the attack occurred, the driving motorcade stopped quickly.

People got out of the cars one after another.

When Li Fei arrived in front of Zeke Ryan and Wei Yan, all over a hundred people in the delegation had gotten out of the cars.

Everyone's eyes looked toward this golden-robed figure.

"Greetings, Marquis Jingan!"

Wei Yan saluted Li Fei at the first moment.

Li Fei nodded, looked at the over a hundred people of this Western delegation, and cupped his hands:

"I am Li Fei, ordered by the Son of Heaven of the Great Blue Dynasty, responsible for receiving the Western delegation. Today, assassins made a move to attack, disturbing everyone; I hope you will forgive me."

After he finished these words, the delegation became quiet, and then six people stepped forward, coming out from the crowd.

Among these six people were men and women, with different auras.

But without exception, they were all top-tier powerhouses.

These were the other six Grand Dukes in the delegation!

"You are Li Fei?"

A woman wearing scarlet leather and a tight-fitting long robe looked at Li Fei with the eyes of looking at prey.

She had a head of copper-red curly hair, pupils like molten gold, a thorn-shaped red copper nose stud on her nose bridge, and full lips dyed deep purple; her proud figure was about to burst out under the restraint of the tight-fitting clothes.

She showed an evil and charming smile, looking at Li Fei:

"This time on a mission, we sent a total of seven Grand Dukes, but your country only sent a mere Marquis to receive us. As a dignified Eastern great nation, is it too ignorant of etiquette?"

These words caused the atmosphere at the scene to change, and the other Grand Dukes, including Zeke Ryan, didn't speak, looking at Li Fei with intriguing eyes, waiting for his response.

Li Fei's expression remained unchanged, and he glanced at this female Grand Duke who jumped out to provoke first.

He turned to ask Wei Yan: "Who is this?"

Wei Yan's forehead was already sweating, and he hurriedly said:

"She is Grand Duke Van Buren of the Grand Duchy of Karan."

Li Fei nodded and continued to ask:

"I don't know the population of the Grand Duchy of Karan?"

Wei Yan was startled, fortunately he had done enough homework beforehand:

"The Grand Duchy of Karan has about thirty million people."

Li Fei asked again: "I don't know the area of the Grand Duchy of Karan?"

Wei Yan cupped his hands: "The Grand Duchy of Karan spans about seven hundred kilometers from east to west and about three hundred kilometers from north to south."

Li Fei nodded and continued to ask:

"I don't know which is the largest province of my Great Blue Dynasty? How many people? What is the area?"

Wei Yan almost subconsciously raised his voice:

"The largest province of our country is Baisha Province, with a population of thirty-seven million, spanning about five hundred kilometers from east to west and about one thousand kilometers from north to south!"

After listening, Li Fei looked at the female Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Karan, Duke Saina Van Buren:

"In that case, a mere small country is not even as good as one province of my Great Blue Dynasty. How dare you small-country Grand Dukes look down on this Marquis?"

Duke Saina Van Buren's Central Plains language was average, and she had a headache listening to the 'Zhi Hu Zhe Ye'.

But the conversation between Li Fei and Wei Yan had intentionally slowed down the rhythm, so this female Grand Duke understood the general meaning.

This made her furious!

"Presumptuous—"

She stepped forward, her momentum erupting, the whole person like a blooming flame.

Light shone in those golden eyes, and an invisible mental force like an angry sea wave collided toward Li Fei!

Duke Saina, the Grand Duke of the Grand Duchy of Karan, nicknamed 'Abyss of Desire', was a top-tier powerhouse who manipulated people's hearts.

Although the extraordinary beings of the Western Continent didn't distinguish between martial arts and sorcery, their bloodline powers were like exotic beasts, also divided into two types.

The Van Buren family to which Duke Saina belonged inherited the sorcery-type extraordinary bloodline, so this female Grand Duke was equivalent to a top-tier True Person of the Eastern Continent.

At this moment, she seemed to have no movements, but her powerful mental force had already invaded Li Fei's consciousness—

On the calm lake surface, a blood mist appeared.

In the blood mist were carriages, the shafts of which were wrapped in thorny rose vines.

Beautiful women covered in thin gauze walked out of the carriages, wine pulp seeping from their skin, and their panting made the lake surface ripple.

Seven-Fold Prison: Lust!

A bright moon hung high, and the cold moonlight sprinkled on the lake surface, making those beautiful women turn into phantoms one after another.

Divine Ability—【Eternal Stability】!

The next second, tables rose from the lake surface, filled with all kinds of delicacies, the sweet and greasy scent of food permeated the lake surface, and ghosts appeared beside the dining tables, starting to eat frantically.

Seven-Fold Prison: Gluttony!

Next was the Prison of Greed woven from gold and gems, the Prison of Anger transformed from blood and battlefields...

Lust, Gluttony, Anger, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Pride!

This was the unique skill of Van Buren, and also seven different heart-and-mind divine abilities!

However, Duke Saina hadn't awakened all seven divine abilities in her bloodline; she had only awakened five of them.

At this moment, the five divine abilities cooperated with each other, evolving into layers of purgatory in Li Fei's spiritual world, constantly plucking his heartstrings, wanting to split Li Fei's heart and mind and make him lose himself in the abyss of desire!

Duke Saina had of course heard of Li Fei's name, but in her view, Li Fei was undoubtedly a powerful warrior, but not necessarily skilled in the confrontation of the spiritual realm.

Now she was an ambassador, and Li Fei couldn't make a move against her openly, which made the battle enter the realm she was best at!

She didn't think about truly crushing Li Fei's heart and mind; she only needed to make Li Fei make a fool of himself in front of the delegation.

In the spiritual world, Duke Saina's offensive was like a tide; even though Li Fei had a heart-and-mind defense divine ability like 【Eternal Stability】, facing the combined offensive of five heart-and-mind divine abilities, he appeared to be struggling alone.

But what made Duke Saina feel incomprehensible was that, although she had clearly broken through Li Fei's 'defense', making the bright moon in the air dim, changing from a full moon to a crescent moon.

But Li Fei's heart and mind still had no fluctuations.

His consciousness world didn't seem to be a lake, but a boundless ocean that was unfathomable!

Duke Saina had never encountered such a situation.

Just as she intended to further strengthen the offensive and erupt with stronger mental force, the boiling lake surface suddenly opened.

A terrifying sword intent that pierced the sky and slaughtered the earth came out from it, making Duke Saina's heart and mind fluctuate!

"This is..."

A huge blood sword rose from beneath the lake surface.

Above the firmament, the bright moon was dim, and the seven stars were inverted.

The starlight shone on the blood sword, and various phenomena emerged.

Golden spears and iron horses, corpses piled like mountains and blood flowing like rivers, this is called the First Kill!

Mountains and rivers broken, royal power changed, this is called the Second Kill!

Grass and trees withered and flourished, all things withered, this is called the Third Kill!

Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill!

This is the Sword of Seven Kills, carrying extreme destruction and slaughter!

After the flying sword body was strengthened again, Li Fei's sword momentum and sword intent were both raised by a level.

Experiencing the insights brought by the Heavenly Tribulation, plus the guidance of 'Sword Immortal' Ning Ning Qingman, Li Fei made improvements to his self-created 【Blood Might God】.

This move was finally no longer simply and crudely mixing the power of arts and heart-and-mind power and throwing it out to hit people.

Sword Stance: Blood Might Seven Kills!

This was the first killing move of combined law and martial arts that Li Fei created after breaking through to become a Grandmaster and top-tier True Person, a purely heart-and-mind killing move.

Duke Saina, this female Grand Duke who specialized in mental power, made a move to probe, which just happened to give Li Fei a chance to 'test the sword'!

The blood sword flew out from the lake, piercing through layers of purgatory with irresistible force.

The phenomena of Seven Kills broke the seven layers of purgatory!

Finally, the blood sword followed the mental force that Duke Saina had attacked with, and conversely killed into the other party's spiritual world!

The confrontation at the spiritual level only happened in an instant.

Everyone only saw Grand Duke Duke Saina step forward, her momentum erupting, and powerful mental force attacking Li Fei.

The next second, her momentum fell, she let out a muffled groan, and two nosebleeds flowed out.

This scene made the other six Grand Dukes reveal looks of astonishment.

'Abyss of Desire' Duke Saina, just in terms of confrontation at the spiritual level, was the strongest among the seven Grand Dukes.

As a result, she was injured by Li Fei in one encounter?

In the intelligence obtained beforehand, there was no mention that this Marquis Jingan had such powerful mental cultivation!

The group of Grand Dukes looked at Li Fei with a few more points of wariness.

"It seems that Grand Duke Duke Saina is unwell; hurry and help her back to the car to rest."

Li Fei withdrew his gaze toward Duke Saina and said calmly.

"..."

Duke Saina had suffered a secret loss and stared at Li Fei with venomous eyes.

In the end, she didn't say anything and turned to walk toward the car.

The group of envoys from the Grand Duchy of Karan followed their Grand Duke and left.

"Marquis Jingan, we traveled across the ocean, traveling thousands of miles to visit your country, yet encountered an attack; how do you explain this? Can your country really guarantee our safety?"

Duke Saina had just left, and another Grand Duke spoke, speaking fluent Central Plains language.

This person had a head of silver-gray long hair, and his pupils presented a mixed color of mercury and amber.

His face carried a saint-like compassion, but his entire aura faintly had a fierce and baleful aura, as if a ferocious beast was hidden under his elegant skin.

"This is Grand Duke Miller of the Kingdom of Severen."

Wei Yan introduced to Li Fei at the right time.

Kingdom of Severen, one of the three great powers of the Western Continent.

This Grand Duke Miller's weight was undoubtedly heavier than Grand Duke Duke Saina's.

Li Fei looked at the other party: "Just a little accident, nothing more than a bit of wind and frost. You all traveled across the ocean; you have seen bigger waves, why care about this little thing?"

After speaking, he pointed to the towering city in the distance:

"As for safety, Lanling City is right in front of you; please get in the cars and continue forward. As long as you enter the city, I guarantee you won't encounter any more accidents. Or is it—"

"Do you all want to stop here and reminisce about the battlefield of back then?"

These words caused many people in the delegation to change color, and many people looked at Li Fei with killing intent!

Among these envoys present, almost everyone's family had elders and relatives who sacrificed their lives in that battle back then.

So Li Fei's words truly hit the sore spot of these people!

"Hahahahaha."

Grand Duke Zeke suddenly laughed loudly.

When Li Fei appeared, his upper body was no longer naked, but draped in a robe woven from flames.

He was an extraordinary being at the Glory Grand Duke level, and his strength was the strongest among the seven Grand Dukes, while the national power of the Deni Kingdom was also faintly ranked first among the seven nations.

So when Zeke spoke, everyone looked over.

"I have heard of Marquis Jingan's name far away in the Western Continent; seeing you today, you are indeed a hero!"

Zeke looked at Li Fei and said word by word:

"I hope there will be a chance to meet you and discuss martial arts as friends in the future."

Li Fei nodded calmly: "This Marquis is ready to accompany you at any time."

So Zeke turned and returned to his car.

Seeing that he had left, Grand Duke Miller of the Kingdom of Severen smiled and bowed to Li Fei, looking very polite, and also turned and got into the car.

Three of the seven Grand Dukes had already left, and the other four didn't speak anymore, turning and getting into the cars one after another.

Soon, everyone in the delegation returned to the cars, and the motorcade continued to drive.

Wei Yan saw this and breathed a sigh of relief, discovering that his back had long been soaked with sweat.

He looked at Li Fei with a look of admiration.

In today's situation, besides 'Military God' Wen Ren Zheng, he felt that only Li Fei could steadily suppress the scene.

Changing to any other Grandmaster or top-tier True Person, it would be very difficult to make these ill-intentioned Western envoys obediently get into the cars.

"Let's go, let's enter the city too."

Li Fei said to Wei Yan and Shao Feng Chenfeng.

Next, no more accidents occurred, and Li Fei and others accompanied this motorcade to successfully enter Lanling City.

Officials from the Rites Department of the Central Secretariat had long been waiting at the city gate, and all kinds of etiquette and arrangements didn't need Li Fei to worry about.

It was just that an attack had just occurred, so Li Fei accompanied this motorcade until it entered the Imperial City before leaving.

He took the assassin he had captured to the headquarters of the Zhige Pavilion and handed the assassin to the Zhige Pavilion for processing.

In fact, the assassin's identity was very obvious, because this was an old monk.

After Li Fei captured this old monk at the True Person realm, the other party was calm, looking as if he had put life and death out of his mind.

Only over an hour later, the Zhige Pavilion gave a result and sent it to Li Fei's desk at the first moment:

"The assassin is Fashan, the Abbot of Huayan Temple."

Huayan Temple was a famous temple in Yue Province and also a first-class sect in the Jianghu.

The main power of the Daoist sect was concentrated in the three Daoist sects.

Besides this, in the Zhengfa Courts, the Zhengfa General Court, and the Zhengfa Department of various places, there were Daoist disciples.

So a part of the Daoist sect's power was in the government, coexisting with the nation.

And the Buddhist sect, besides Mount Pudu Temple, also had a part of its power in temples in various places.

So after the new Emperor ascended the throne, the first order he issued was to seal all temples in the country and arrest all monks who had cultivation!

Huayan Temple naturally couldn't escape the disaster and had already turned into a ruin.

Most of the Buddhist disciples in the temple who had cultivation were killed or injured.

Abbot Fashan, who possessed the cultivation of a True Person, was specifically targeted, but he still managed to escape.

After Fashan escaped, he didn't choose to run to rely on Mount Pudu Temple, but had been lurking outside Lanling City, waiting for a suitable opportunity to make a move.

Originally, he intended to find a chance to kill a few high-ranking officials of the imperial court, but after learning the news that the Western delegation was coming to the capital, he changed his mind.

He knew that he certainly couldn't hurt the people of the delegation, but what he wanted was to let the whole world know—

The Great Blue Dynasty's nation was unstable!

Early the next morning.

Inside the Imperial City, the seven Grand Dukes of the Western delegation each brought an envoy and walked into a large hall.

A long table was placed in the large hall, and there were seats on both sides of the long table.

The envoys of the seven nations and a group of officials of the Great Blue Dynasty sat opposite each other.

After all fourteen people of the Western delegation were seated, someone walked into the hall from the entrance.

The leader had graying temples and natural double pupils; it was the Chief Secretary Ye Ye Zean.

Behind the Chief Secretary, Li Fei, in a golden robe, walked into the hall calmly.

Besides this, there were a group of officials from the Central Secretariat.

Ye Ye Zean sat in the center seat, Li Fei sat on his left, and the other officials were seated in order.

This was Li Fei's first time participating in such a negotiation between nations.

Before coming, he had specifically asked Ye Ye Zean what he needed to do?

"Negotiations between two nations are just everyone sitting down and reasoning."

This was the first sentence Ye Ye Zean said to Li Fei.

"If the reasoning of us civil officials doesn't work, then you will need to reason with them."

This was the second sentence Ye Ye Zean said to Li Fei.

So after everyone was seated, the eyes of the seven Grand Dukes were all focused on Li Fei, while Li Fei closed his eyes to rest.

He divided a part of his heart and mind to construct an illusion, continuing to attempt the upgrade of the flying sword body in the illusion.

From a ground-level flying sword to a heavenly-level flying sword, he had to find a path himself.

"You all traveled from afar..."

Inside the large hall, the negotiation officially began.

After some polite remarks, Zeke, who was sitting in the center seat, glanced at Li Fei who was still closing his eyes to rest, and gave a look to his subordinate beside him.

The other party immediately picked up a long, black box from under his feet and placed it on the table.

"This time on a mission, we prepared a gift for your country."

Zeke said with a smile.

His subordinate opened the box in front of Ye Ye Zean and others—

Inside was a gun!

This gun was black all over, and its shape was similar to a rifle.

Ye Ye Zean's expression remained unchanged, looking at the firearm in the box:

"Is this a new type of firearm from the Western Continent?"

Zeke nodded: "Not bad, this gun is the newest assault rifle of my Deni Kingdom—Black Fire!"

After speaking, he signaled his subordinate to take this gun out of the box.

This action didn't cause any unease among the civil officials opposite.

After all, there was still a Marquis Jingan sitting in the hall.

"I don't know if you can demonstrate this weapon for our country?"

Zeke asked.

Ye Ye Zean: "How to demonstrate?"

Zeke smiled: "Find a target to shoot, preferably a martial artist of your country to personally experience it."

"Can."

Ye Ye Zean agreed directly.

He didn't need to give orders; a soldier of the Imperial Guard who was guarding outside the hall had already been called in.

The envoy of the Deni Kingdom held the gun and walked to the side, with the Imperial Guard soldier called in standing ten meters away.

"Are you ready?"

The Deni Kingdom envoy aimed the muzzle at the Imperial Guard soldier.

This Imperial Guard soldier called in was a martial artist at the Dao Ji stage, already considered a martial arts expert.

He didn't dare to be careless, fully stimulating his protective force.

Dark gray force covered his whole body, making him look like a mountain peak.

This was the high-level force 'Covering Earth Rock Mountain Force', which was a type of force good at defense.

"Fire."

The Imperial Guard soldier said.

Bang bang bang bang bang bang bang—

Violent gunshots resounded through the large hall!

A streak of gunfire sprayed out from the muzzle, and bullets tore through the air, continuously colliding with the wall of dark gray force.

The Imperial Guard soldier who was continuously bombarded by the bullets didn't even have time to react, and the force on his chest was torn open, and a few bullets 'took advantage of the gap' and hit his chest armor!

Three seconds later, the gunshots stopped, and the muzzle was smoking with gunpowder.

Inside the large hall, a group of civil officials changed color one after another, looking at the black assault rifle in this person's hand with horror, as if looking at some flood dragon or wild beast!

Zeke smiled:

"This is the Black Fire assault rifle, a brand-new automatic mode, able to fire thirty bullets in three seconds, with an effective range of 400 meters. It can complete a magazine change in one second, theoretically able to fire six hundred bullets in one minute, an epoch-making weapon!"

"We—give it to your country."

Double monthly tickets at the end of the month, seeking monthly tickets.
