Chapter 566: God of War

Under the night sky, a black tide surged forward at extreme speed, its killing intent towering!

On the other side, wearing the pale gold Cloud Dream Golden Thread Robe, Li Fei held his blade in one hand and crashed directly into this black tide.

The speed of both sides grew ever faster, and when they were less than a hundred meters apart, a mass of black baleful energy transformed into a flood dragon, tearing toward Li Fei first!

This baleful energy struck at Li Fei's mind first.

Li Fei discovered that the baleful energy catalyzed by the Imperial Guard's military formation was surprisingly similar on a spiritual level to the 【Blood Might Divine】 he had created himself; both combined the power of intent with phantom thoughts!

"No wonder the Imperial Guard's baleful energy is specifically effective against techniques while also fearing no martial artist. Did Lin Tianyi also borrow the power of the Imperial Guard back then, and that is how he walked the path of dual cultivation of techniques and martial arts?"

Even when facing the enemy, Li Fei still had the leisure to ponder these things.

The mental shock brought by the baleful energy had no effect on Li Fei; he deployed the Primordial Star Armor and then swung his blade to slash at the black flood dragon tearing toward him.

Bang!!!

A sharp roar erupted in the air, and a massive wave of air kicked up dust.

The Primordial Star Armor on Li Fei's body was shattered by a single blow!

Seeing this scene, Lu Wenxing's face turned pale, and only when he saw Li Fei still standing tall, not having retreated even a single step, did he heave a sigh of relief.

The next second, the black tide arrived.

Li Fei lunged forward, holding his blade with both hands as he slashed out, and a brilliant golden blade light struck the black baleful energy.

This strike felt like slashing into a surging wave; after the blade edge broke the wave, continuous tides surged forth one after another, the force layered and stacked!

This layer of baleful energy was the "body-protecting force" of this Imperial Guard cavalry unit.

Li Fei slashed out, and the Primordial Vajra Force on the Ghost-Slaying Blade was quickly exhausted, but his blade momentum did not end; the immense power drove the Ghost-Slaying Blade to completely shatter the black tide before him!

Behind the black tide, an Imperial Guard cavalryman charged like a lightning bolt, slashing a blade toward Li Fei's neck.

This Imperial Guard cavalryman originally only had the cultivation of the late Qi Transformation stage, but under the enhancement of the baleful energy and the military formation, the power of this strike was enough to threaten the Dao Foundation stage!

Yet in Li Fei's eyes, this strike was still too slow.

He struck first, slashing at the head of the opponent's mount; the overwhelming force caused the head armor of this second-grade exotic beast to cave inward, its two front legs buckled downward, and it knelt on the spot!

The cavalryman on the horse's back lunged forward, switched to holding the blade with both hands, and slashed out with all his might.

These Imperial Guard cavalrymen had blood-red eyes and appeared to have no human emotions at all; they knew neither fear nor pain.

Such an army was undoubtedly the most terrifying war machine!

Li Fei's gaze was calm as he raised the Ghost-Slaying Blade and swept it horizontally.

Bang!

Li Fei's blade arrived first despite being launched later; the cavalryman on the horse flew horizontally to the right, half his head smashed to pieces, and the corpse slammed into the Imperial Guard cavalryman on the right.

Li Fei exerted force through his feet and took the opportunity to charge horizontally to the left, slamming his left shoulder into the mount of the Imperial Guard cavalryman on the left, hitting that rider—along with the exotic beast and heavy armor, a weight exceeding three thousand catties—and sending them flying directly!

All of this was completed in the blink of an eye; the two sides crossed, and the Imperial Guard cavalry left behind one corpse on the ground, with two more riders knocked over.

Throughout the entire process, Li Fei had been enduring the mental shock of the baleful energy, yet he remained completely unaffected.

Li Fei's figure paused, then he turned abruptly to chase after the Imperial Guard cavalry that had passed him.

From extreme speed to extreme stillness, then back to extreme speed, the entire process was fluid; Li Fei caught up to this Imperial Guard cavalry unit in an instant.

At the same time, an identical Li Fei "split" from his body, then a second, then a third...

In the blink of an eye, five Li Feis each killed their way toward five Imperial Guard cavalrymen!

These five Imperial Guard cavalrymen had no time to change direction and could only turn to strike with their blades.

Assisted by the baleful energy, these five Imperial Guard cavalrymen, who were only at the Body Tempering stage, erupted with the combat power of Force-Refining martial masters!

The actions of the five "Li Feis" were identical:

Without dodging or evading, they let the opponent's blade slash into their chests while they simultaneously slashed into the opponent's chest!

The main body of Li Fei blocked the strike directly with the Primordial Star Armor, while simultaneously slashing the Imperial Guard cavalryman on the horse in two, along with his armor.

The four clones he had split off did not dissipate after being struck; the blade edges pierced through the clones' chests, and then these clones all slashed the four Imperial Guard cavalrymen off their horses!

Under normal circumstances, the clones Li Fei condensed using 【Ghost Foot】 should not have such strong defensive and explosive power.

But Li Fei had strengthened 【Ghost Foot】!

When leaving the city, he had consumed 15 Blood Souls to execute 【Blood Rage】; this was his current physical limit.

When condensing the clones, he had also executed the Vajra Seal: Dragon-Elephant, doubling his own strength.

The clones condensed by 【Ghost Foot】 possessed thirty percent of the main body's strength; with 【Blood Rage】 from 15 Blood Souls doubled, even at only 30%, the strength had already reached the level of a martial master!

Not only that, Li Fei also utilized 【Blood Baleful】 to inject a strand of blood baleful energy into every clone.

Li Fei already had the experience of fusing blood baleful energy with his own innate Qi to form a brand-new force, so the blood baleful energy combined perfectly with the clones!

After integrating the powerful blood baleful energy, not only was the corrosive characteristic of the clones enhanced, but their own defensive power also grew exponentially, making them not so easily dispersed.

Li Fei condensed four clones, each infused with blood baleful energy converted from ten Blood Souls!

Previously, he had not dared to easily use the Myriad Blood Pearl because there were martial arts masters, or even grandmasters, watching.

But now that there were no such figures, he naturally used it unscrupulously.

Previously at the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament, he had demonstrated the advantage of his clones in terms of quantity.

This time, he had not brought enough elixirs to replenish his innate Qi and could not condense so many clones, so he abandoned quantity and chose to pursue quality!

With five more Imperial Guard cavalrymen dealt with, the remaining Imperial Guard cavalry quickly responded.

Another black tide appeared, sweeping toward the five Li Feis.

Li Fei immediately executed a Dao Force—【Red Sound Fire Vajra Aspect】.

A Vajra Dharma aspect over ten meters tall appeared out of thin air, surrounded by swirling flames and encircled by white heavenly dragons.

This was merely a hallucination on the spiritual level; in reality, it was layers of force protecting Li Fei and his four clones.

The black tide broke through Li Fei's 【Red Sound Fire Vajra Aspect】, but the remaining killing power was no longer enough to shatter Li Fei's clones.

After the tide, dozens of Imperial Guard cavalrymen had completed their turn and charged together toward the five Li Feis.

Li Fei led his clones to meet them, splitting off two more clones while running.

His main body charged at the very front, slashing out with his blade; a point of light ignited at the tip, then erupted into countless rays of light, completely tearing the surrounding darkness to shreds!

Dao Force—【Infinite Brightness Fire】!

The transition between the two Dao Force styles was smooth and natural; this was a means only possessed by peak Dao Foundation stage experts!

This move, 【Infinite Brightness Fire】, destroyed the body-protecting black tide around the dozen or so Imperial Guard cavalrymen in front, and then Li Fei and his clones collided head-on with the opponent.

In this round of charging, Li Fei was struck by three blades and slashed down three Imperial Guard cavalrymen in succession!

His six clones, however, were all blown apart!

Yet these six clones, after having their heads slashed off first, were still able to continue striking, slashing six Imperial Guard cavalrymen off their horses.

And after the clones were blown apart, they exploded into a mass of baleful energy, enveloping the surrounding Imperial Guard cavalry and their exotic beast mounts!

Infused with blood baleful energy converted from ten Blood Souls, the power of this baleful energy was astonishing, and its lethality toward living organisms was especially terrifying!

The skin and eyes of the Imperial Guard cavalry exposed outside their armor were instantly corroded away!

The exotic beast mounts let out earth-shattering screams, falling to the ground and rolling frantically.

In this round of charging, Li Fei used six clones to trade for a full thirteen Imperial Guard cavalrymen!

This was something that even sixty Qi Transformation stage martial masters might not be able to achieve!

Because Qi Transformation stage martial masters could not withstand the mental shock of the baleful energy at all, and when facing these Imperial Guard cavalry, they could not even launch a normal attack.

But Li Fei's clones possessed his powerful mental strength, were unafraid of the mental shock of the baleful energy for a short time, had no vital points, and could even turn into "biochemical bombs" after death!

On the city wall, Lu Wenxing, seeing this scene, was stunned.

Through the live television broadcast, he had watched Li Fei's match against Gan Jingcheng at the Martial Arts Exchange Tournament and knew that Li Fei's clones were very powerful.

But he had not expected Li Fei's clones to be strong to this extent!

Back then, Li Fei's clones could at most rival Body Tempering stage martial artists, but now the clones could already rival martial masters, and their defensive power was several times stronger!

Is this really 【Ghost Shadow】?

This was almost catching up to a clone divine ability!

In Lu Wenxing's stunned gaze, Li Fei once again condensed five clones and launched another charge with the Imperial Guard cavalry.

This time, these Imperial Guard cavalrymen specifically changed their charging formation, thickening the depth of the formation.

Li Fei led his five clones and launched a counter-kill without hesitation!

He was the first to chisel his way in, with the four clones following closely behind.

This time, the four clones did not go to kill the enemy, but instead became "shields" by Li Fei's side, blocking blades for him.

In the end, Li Fei killed his way through the Imperial Guard cavalry's formation alone, leaving behind several more corpses!

After these Imperial Guard cavalrymen catalyzed their baleful energy, both their offense and defense were sufficient to rival peak Dao Foundation stage experts.

Moreover, they could continuously cause mental shock, and combined with the cavalry charge, it was continuous and endless, giving people absolutely no chance to catch their breath!

Even a peak Dao Foundation stage expert, if surrounded, would easily be killed without a chance to "catch their breath," thereby revealing a flaw and ultimately being defeated and killed.

But Li Fei's mental defense was already powerful, and with the Myriad Blood Pearl sharing the damage, he was not afraid of the mental shock of the baleful energy at all.

This directly rendered one of the Imperial Guard's strongest trump cards useless.

Added to that, Li Fei had powerful clones, meaning he was not fighting alone.

The clones could help him kill the enemy, help him block injuries, and use self-detonation to buy him time to "catch his breath."

And every time a clone was blown apart, the exploding baleful energy could take away at least one Imperial Guard cavalryman.

This was a forced one-for-one trade!

Next, the Imperial Guard cavalry adopted a "three-three system" charge, with every three riders as a unit, coordinating with the black tide of baleful energy catalyzed by everyone in the military formation, rushing toward Li Fei wave after wave, forming an endless offensive!

Li Fei, in turn, continuously condensed clones, using the clones to take damage for himself and using the clones' self-detonation to create space, buying time for himself to "catch his breath."

Of course, there were times he was hit, but he remained unscathed and stood tall.

After a few rounds of such exchanges, the fifty-plus Imperial Camp cavalrymen had actually been slaughtered until only a dozen or so remained!

"What kind of monster is this?"

In the car at the rear, the middle-aged man holding the imitation Great Luo Order wore an expression of disbelief.

The opponent had almost wiped out the entire Imperial Camp cavalry force single-handedly; how was the rest of this battle supposed to be fought?

The martial artists, inspectors, and city guards he had brought from Jinshan Fucheng were all completely demoralized by this point.

Furthermore, without the Imperial Camp cavalry, relying on those who remained would certainly make it impossible to breach the city.

"Retreat!"

He gave the order decisively.

Consequently, the motorcade that had arrived with such aggressive momentum began to reverse.

By the time this motorcade finished turning around, Li Fei had already finished off all the remaining dozen or so Imperial Camp cavalrymen!

He watched the motorcade speeding away, but did not pursue them.

Turning to look in the direction of the Chongcheng city wall, Li Fei walked step by step back to the spot where he had just inserted his scabbard.

From the beginning of this battle to the end, he had not retreated behind the line where the scabbard was located!

*Swish*—

Li Fei sheathed his blade.

At the same time, a massive roar of cheers erupted from the city wall ahead:

"Might!"

"Might!"

"Might!"

The crowd on the city wall shouted in unison for Li Fei.

This was the unique way the Great Lan Dynasty's army celebrated after winning a victory on the battlefield.

A smile appeared on Li Fei's face as he raised the Ghost-Slaying Blade in his hand to signal to the people on the city wall.

Under the night sky, the youth in golden attire held his battle blade high.

Looking at this scene, Lu Wenxing suddenly felt a strong intuition in his heart:

"If a true war breaks out in the future, this youth will surely shine brilliantly on the battlefield and forge a legend!"

At this moment, it was as if Lu Wenxing were looking at a future God of War!
