Chapter 793: War God! A Shocking Turn (6000)
The battle between the Barbarian-Slaying Army and the Northern Barbarians has reached a point where it is no longer just about current combat strength, but also about each side's reserves—or, in other words, their trump cards.
The Northern Barbarians' trump card, as it currently appears, is beast-transformation combined with self-sacrifice.
As for the Barbarian-Slaying Army's trump cards, the first is the Primordial Compass, and the second is Zhang Chengbi, the former Pavilion Master of the Law Enforcement Pavilion.
Now, Li Fei has become the Barbarian-Slaying Army's third trump card!
This trump card is changing the situation!
This is why Bai Yan previously did not want Li Fei to consume too much of his own energy.
In his tactical planning, Li Fei's tactical status is second only to a few Grandmasters and top-tier True Persons!
After finishing off Wuri Xihe, Li Fei still has 5 Blood Souls remaining in his Myriad Blood Bead, and 2, 58 Blood Souls in his Blood Spring.
The power of Blood Rage within his body remains, enough for him to "bully" the few dual-supernatural-ability Badu powerhouses before him.
Just as Li Fei intended to claim a few more heads, a massive pressure suddenly descended!
Violent winds rose around him, and blood-red baleful energy surged, enveloping him within it.
The two supernatural abilities, 【Distance-Negation】 and 【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】, were suppressed once again and could not be deployed.
It was Wuri Tianji who had suddenly made a move against Li Fei!
Among all the top powerhouses present, only he could strike anyone within the formation at any time, as he was presiding over the formation and everyone was within the range of the Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Formation.
At this moment, Wuri Tianji suddenly abandoned his duel with Zhang Chengbi, turning instead to crush Li Fei with a portion of the formation's power and his own formation style!
In an instant, Li Fei felt as if a mountain weighing billions of tons was pressing down on him!
The ground in the area where he stood collapsed violently, and bolts of lightning struck him one after another.
The golden light on his body shattered instantly; the Sword State: Golden Body and Jade Marrow was broken, and the lightning slammed onto Li Fei's head!
The ancient bronze mirror in the air immediately turned to shine upon the area where Li Fei was, but Nuomuhan, who was stepping on the Great Void Nine-Dragon Boat, suddenly raised a hand, and a crescent-shaped jade pendant transformed into a streak of cold, baleful moonlight, slashing toward the ancient bronze mirror.
The speed of this cold, baleful moonlight exceeded ten times the speed of sound, striking the bronze mirror instantly and then erupting into thousands of cold, baleful slashes that struck the mirror continuously!
Just because Nuomuhan's natal magic treasure is the Great Void Nine-Dragon Boat does not mean he has no other magic treasures.
No True Person, no top-tier True Person, would only refine a single natal magic treasure; they would also refine others.
Although these magic treasures are not as powerful as the natal one, they can still serve a purpose.
Nuomuhan can be considered to have actively revealed a trump card now, but as he was distracted by controlling the magic treasure to strike at Zhang Chengbi, a gap inevitably appeared in his suppression of Bai Yan.
A pitch-black ray of light tore through the air and pierced toward him.
It was Bai Yan seizing the opportunity to strike directly at Nuomuhan!
Ren Ping and Boerhu smashed the helmet of the blood-colored giant with a punch, and the Black Dragon Spear instantly broke through the encirclement of the five Burning Heaven Fire Dragons, piercing Nuomuhan.
The Great Void Fire Dragon Boat formed a fiery red protective shield, but before the Black Dragon Spear, this shield shattered like foam at the slightest touch!
Nuomuhan controlled the Great Void Fire Dragon Boat to retreat as a streak of red light, but the blood-colored giant suddenly released its grip, and the Black Dragon Spear in its hand transformed into a black dragon, chasing after Nuomuhan, opening its blood-filled maw, and swallowing both the man and the boat in one gulp!
At this time, a portion of Nuomuhan's power was suppressing two Grandmasters, a portion was controlling the five Burning Heaven Fire Dragons, and another portion was focused on Zhang Chengbi's side.
Thus, Bai Yan seized this fleeting opportunity to try and blast this Great Elder of the Fire Qilin Clan to pieces in one strike!
When powerhouses clash, they fight for that split second of timing!
Bang—
Boerhu took the opportunity to break one of the blood-colored giant's arms that was holding the spear!
But Bai Yan did not retract the Black Dragon Spear; instead, he controlled the military formation, directing the baleful energy to continue attacking Nuomuhan.
All these changes occurred in the blink of an eye; at this moment, the first bolt of lightning unleashed by Wuri Tianji had only just landed on Li Fei's head.
In the world of powerhouses, the scale of time is inherently different from that of others.
In their perception, the entire world is in a state of "bullet time," so when Wuri Tianji saw Nuomuhan in danger, there was still time to make one more response.
He controlled his own natal magic treasure, making the black dragon in the air open its blood-filled maw and spew a massive blood-colored lightning bolt at the black dragon formed by the military formation's baleful energy!
Rumble—
The baleful energy black dragon was blasted apart in mid-air by the blood-colored lightning!
Just as this black dragon spat out the blood-colored lightning, the true spirit of Mi Han, residing within his natal flying sword, immediately erupted with a surge of majestic true power.
His flying sword was temporarily unconstrained, and it too had an opportunity to strike.
The hundreds of sword lights that had been divided instantly merged back into one, becoming a massive flying sword hundreds of meters long, like a mountain, which descended from the sky to slash toward Wuri Tianji below!
At this moment, Mi Han could actually have chosen to strike to rescue Li Fei, but he did not do so.
Because he knew that Li Fei must possess something capable of saving his life.
Such a peerless prodigy in history, who also enjoyed the deep trust of His Majesty, he did not believe the Son of Heaven had only given Li Fei a single gold medal.
This "trump card" of Li Fei's had its own trump cards!
Wuri Tianji urgently retracted the portion of power targeting Li Fei, while also withdrawing the power of the Twelve Heavens Blood-Baleful Formation, forming a massive blood-colored vortex above his head to block the descending flying sword at the very last moment.
The flying sword slashed through more than half of the blood-colored vortex before being entangled again by the black dragon in the air.
But the next instant, a massive blade aura burning with purple flames crossed a distance of over a thousand meters and struck the tattered blood-colored vortex!
It was Qiu Zi'an, no longer suppressed, unleashing his Martial Dao Domain once again.
The blood-colored vortex was completely shattered, and the blade light struck Wuri Tianji's body, but it vanished directly.
Immediately afterward, the body of the black dragon in the air was torn asunder, slashed into several pieces!
Wuri Tianji spat out a mouthful of blood, the aura on his body suddenly weakened, and his beast-transformation state became unstable.
He can transfer all the damage he sustains to his natal magic treasure; this is one of his natal magic treasure's supernatural abilities.
But when his natal magic treasure was entangled with Mi Han's flying sword, it suddenly suffered this strike and was immediately severely damaged!
This series of changes only concluded at this point.
The blood-colored giant formed by Bai Yan had another arm broken by Boerhu, its helmet was blasted apart, and its head was injured. Even with the military formation sharing most of the damage, Bai Yan himself was not lightly injured!
Nuomuhan himself suffered minor injuries, but several cracks appeared on the Great Void Fire Dragon Boat, which would affect its performance going forward.
The ancient bronze mirror controlled by Zhang Chengbi also suffered a certain degree of damage.
The most severely injured was Wuri Tianji; the damage to his natal magic treasure caused his beast-transformation time to be drastically shortened!
This exchange of blows seemed to leave the Northern Barbarian side at a greater disadvantage.
But at this moment, all the top powerhouses turned their gazes toward the deep pit on the ground; they wanted to know how Li Fei was doing.
If Li Fei had been killed by Wuri Tianji, then this wave would not be a loss for the Northern Barbarians, but rather a huge gain!
From the large pit, a figure leaped out.
It was Li Fei.
The Golden-Thread Jade-Scale Armor he wore had been fifty percent damaged, with many breaks, but he himself appeared completely unscathed!
"How is this possible?"
For a moment, both Great Elders, Nuomuhan and Wuri Tianji, lost their composure.
They all knew the rumors that Li Fei had survived a strike from a True Monarch.
But even the people of the Great Lan Dynasty felt that it was the "God of War" Wenren Zheng, who was by Li Fei's side at the time, who had stepped in to block that strike for him; how much more so for the people of the Northern Barbarians?
Compared to a Dao Foundation-stage martial artist being able to block a True Monarch's attack, it was clearly more logical and consistent with common sense that the "God of War" Wenren Zheng had intervened.
But now, Li Fei had broken logic and common sense once again in front of everyone!
Wuri Tianji's strike just now would have certainly killed any other Martial Dao Grandmaster, because all supernatural abilities had been suppressed.
Whatever 【Regeneration】, 【Thorn Shield】, 【Ethereal Body】, 【Three Heads and Six Arms】—no matter how powerful the life-saving supernatural ability, it would have been useless!
Even if you are a seven-ability Martial Dao Grandmaster, without the ability to use your supernatural powers, you would not be much stronger than a Dao Foundation-stage martial artist.
Yet, Li Fei simply did not die, and he was alive and well!
That strike just now cost Li Fei over 800 Blood Souls, and there are currently 1, 91 Blood Souls remaining in the Blood Spring.
However, after that strike, the energy value of the Myriad Blood Bead soared by 11%, becoming 92%!
Ever since leveling up several times that day, several months had passed, and the Myriad Blood Bead had not leveled up again.
During this period, Li Fei had fought with many Martial Dao Grandmasters, and combined with his daily habit of taking poison, he had slowly raised the Myriad Blood Bead's energy value to 79%.
Just now, having his defense breached by several Badu powerhouses and sustaining partial damage, the energy value had only risen by 2%.
Now that it was a top-tier True Person making a move, the quality had gone up instantly!
"One more hit and I can level up."
Li Fei looked toward Wuri Tianji on the mountain peak with an expectant expression and suddenly roared at the top of his lungs:
"I, the Marquis, am here! Who can kill me?!!!"
Upon hearing this, Wuri Tianji's face turned pale, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
Li Fei was not dead; this wave of "exchanges" was a huge loss for the Northern Barbarian side.
And it directly affected the subsequent situation!
The severely injured Wuri Tianji could now only barely suppress Mi Han and Qiu Zi'an, and could no longer go to help Boerhu.
Nuomuhan's Great Void Nine-Dragon Boat had suffered certain losses, and his suppression of Bai Yan had also weakened.
Just now, even with Zhang Chengbi's help, Bai Yan had still been at a disadvantage, but now he was gradually beginning to turn the tide!
In the high-level battle, the situation was beginning to favor the Barbarian-Slaying Army.
And this advantage was bought by Li Fei acting as a "meat shield" to draw aggro.
Li Fei once again told Chi Chengyu to go help others, while he alone entangled two dual-ability Badu powerhouses simultaneously.
After finishing off Wuri Xihe, no one could stop Chi Chengyu from leaving now.
Just now, it was nine against seven for the Northern Barbarians, but after Li Fei killed two Blood Shadows in a row, it returned to seven against seven.
With Li Fei entangling two people by himself, Chi Chengyu could go help the others, forming a two-on-one situation locally.
However, at this moment, over a hundred Tudu martial artists from the Northern Barbarian King's Imperial Guard had arrived, among whom were more than thirty immortal and indestructible Blood Shadows!
With this force joining the battlefield, the situation of the mid-level combat shifted instantly.
On the side of the Barbarian-Slaying Army, over three thousand Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists were also about to arrive, but among these three thousand-plus people, only twenty or so were at the Dao Foundation realm.
Although they were numerous, they might not necessarily be a match for the over one hundred Northern Barbarian Tudu martial artists if they were to fight.
In the rear, more of the Northern Barbarian Imperial Guard were rushing toward this side.
On the ground, the number of participants in the battle was increasing, and the scene was becoming increasingly chaotic.
Li Fei teleported to the side of a Badu powerhouse and proactively took a hammer blow from the opponent.
His entire body transformed into a massive tree of fire, then exploded into fireworks filling the sky.
Immediately after, he appeared behind another Badu powerhouse, a pair of flame wings sprouted from his back, and he held his blade with both hands to slash down!
First, he used 【Fire Tree and Silver Flowers in an Endless Night】 to borrow force, then used 【Fire Wings Flying and Soaring Above the Nine Heavens】 to gather force.
Bang!!!
The Badu powerhouse turned in time to counter with a heavy hammer; at the moment of collision, the webbing between his thumb and index finger split, the heavy hammer in his hand was knocked away, and then the Ghost-Slaying Blade pierced his protective Qi and struck his chest.
A red heart suddenly appeared above his head, and then this heart exploded!
"Ah—"
This Badu powerhouse roared and swung his heavy hammer with his left hand toward Li Fei.
The speed of this swing even exceeded ten times the speed of sound, and the power that erupted was several times his own limit!
This was his divine ability—【Substitute Death and Return Blade】.
It could automatically block attacks that should have been fatal and absorb the power within them, storing it up.
Once stored to a certain degree, it could be released all at once!
In the previous exchange, he had been struck in vital points by Li Fei several times and should have died many times over, but he had relied on the 【Substitute Death and Return Blade】 divine ability to save his life.
At this moment, the divine ability erupted, releasing all the absorbed power in one go.
Whoosh—
The air was sucked dry and exploded, instantly forming a vacuum wave that extended for over a hundred meters, pulverizing all the trees and bushes along its path!
But this strike missed.
Li Fei appeared behind this person again and then easily decapitated the opponent with one strike.
Every time 【Substitute Death and Return Blade】 erupts, there is a "cooldown period," and it needs to wait a while before it can absorb fatal damage again.
Li Fei killed another Badu powerhouse!
He turned his head to look at the remaining Badu powerhouse and clearly saw fear in the opponent's eyes.
He charged up.
After a dozen moves, Li Fei successfully killed the second Badu powerhouse.
With this, he had already cut down five Badu powerhouses under his blade, along with two Badu-level blood shadows!
Killing these two, not only did he not lose any blood, but his Blood Souls actually recovered by over 300.
Using 【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】 to continuously absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, the internal force within his body quickly returned to its peak.
However, Li Fei still felt somewhat exhausted, and the five implants within his body were also showing signs of "fatigue."
【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】 could restore internal force and blood energy, but it could not restore the exhaustion of his mind and the implants themselves.
From the start of the battle until now, Li Fei had already used 【No Distance】 nearly a hundred times!
If it weren't for 【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】, he would have long since exhausted his internal force.
But other types of exhaustion could not be recovered, so he still felt tired.
Taking an extremely sturdy small box from his Golden-Thread Jade Qilin Armor, Li Fei opened the box and took out two elixirs to consume.
One was a Heaven-Returning God-Continuing Pill.
One was a Five-Element Bountiful Harvest Pill.
The former restored the mind, the latter restored the five-element attribute implants; both were extremely precious holy-grade elixirs!
Before going into battle, the martial arts masters and True Persons of the Barbarian-Slaying Army had each received three Heaven-Returning God-Continuing Pills and three Five-Element Bountiful Harvest Pills.
This was the foundation of a great nation!
After taking the elixirs, Li Fei immediately rushed to support other areas.
He soon discovered that casualties had also appeared on the Barbarian-Slaying Army side:
Two martial arts masters had died in battle!
The two martial arts masters who died in battle had both died at the hands of blood shadows.
Relying on their immortality, these blood shadows directly traded wounds with their opponents, and with the assistance of the equally immortal Tudu martial artists, they forcibly killed two members of the Stop-Conflict Pavilion.
Chi Chengyu and a martial arts master had joined forces to kill a Badu powerhouse, but now both he and the martial arts master he joined forces with were severely injured.
Li Fei immediately rushed toward Chi Chengyu's side.
At this moment, Chi Chengyu and a severely injured martial arts master were being besieged by four Badu martial artists and over a dozen immortal Tudu martial artists under the protection of two life-bound magic treasures!
Another twenty-plus immortal Tudu martial artists were leading more people to kill the two True Persons of the Righteous Law Pavilion in the rear.
Both Chi Chengyu and the severely injured martial arts master had life-saving divine abilities, which was why they could hold on until now; otherwise, they would have died long ago.
But the two of them could not hold on for much longer.
Seeing Li Fei charging toward this side, the blood shadows that were besieging the two actually scattered one after another!
These people had all seen with their own eyes just now how Li Fei completely wiped out Wuri Xihe and severely wounded Wuri Biezhe; they were afraid that they would follow in the footsteps of those two, so they dared not fight Li Fei.
Li Fei successfully arrived beside Chi Chengyu and the severely injured martial arts master.
He grabbed one with each hand and then activated "Green God" with all his might.
The next second, two green lights enveloped the two severely injured people.
A few dozen seconds later, their severe injuries turned into light injuries!
"Many thanks, Marquis of Jing'an!"
The two hurriedly thanked Li Fei.
This scene also fell into the eyes of Wuri Tianji, making the mindset of this Great Elder somewhat collapse.
It was one thing to be able to kill, but to actually be able to save people too?
Was this person's "essence, energy, and spirit" inexhaustible?
Li Fei took another Heaven-Returning God-Continuing Pill and another Five-Element Bountiful Harvest Pill, preparing to rush to the next battlefield.
"Marquis of Jing'an, take these elixirs."
The Stop-Conflict Pavilion member who had been saved was named Du Zi'ang; he called out to Li Fei before Li Fei left and gave his own elixirs to Li Fei.
In his view, these elixirs were far more useful in Li Fei's hands than in his own!
Seeing this, Chi Chengyu, who was to the side, also handed the elixirs he had saved to Li Fei.
Li Fei did not stand on ceremony; he put away the boxes handed to him by the two and then rushed to the next battlefield.
The remaining Badu powerhouses—three were immortal blood shadows, and one was the martial arts master who possessed the 【Thorn Shield】 divine ability—were all very difficult to kill.
If Li Fei wanted to forcibly kill these people, he would have to consume quite a few more Blood Souls, which would put his Blood Soul count at a "danger level."
The "limit" he set for himself was that the Blood Soul count could not be lower than 1500; otherwise, if some Grandmaster or top-tier True Person suddenly struck him, he might just be gone!
Therefore, he was not in a hurry to kill the remaining Badu powerhouses, but instead went to rescue the Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists.
The casualties of the Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists were even more severe, and they were in greater need of support.
Just like that, Li Fei relied on the 【No Distance】 divine ability to "put out fires" everywhere on the battlefield, occasionally using "Green God" to save a severely injured Dao Foundation realm martial artist.
Wherever he went, those who blocked him were swept away; no matter who he encountered, he would shatter them with a single blade strike!
In a few minutes, Li Fei had rescued seven Dao Foundation realm martial artists and killed over thirty Tudu martial artists!
At this moment, the Blood Souls within his Ten Thousand Blood Bead had already recovered to 864.
To reduce consumption, he no longer even used 【Heaven-Mixing Golden Palace】, and he rarely used internal force or true power, relying entirely on the power of blood rage within his body when killing.
This power of blood rage could be maintained for ten minutes; before the time expired, his physical strength was equivalent to 1160 units of blood rage power.
This power was difficult for many three-divine-ability or even four-divine-ability martial arts masters to match, let alone Dao Foundation realm martial artists.
It was simply a case of being injured if grazed, and shattered if touched!
Li Fei was like an untiring ferocious beast, charging and crashing through the battlefield, wreaking havoc in all directions!
The Imperial Guard of the Northern Barbarian King looked at Li Fei with eyes that were increasingly terrified and fearful.
Meanwhile, the Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists looked at Li Fei with eyes that were increasingly admiring, worshipful, and even fanatical!
Among these three thousand-plus Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists, many were participating in a battle of this scale for the first time.
After encountering over a hundred Tudu martial artists, the initial casualties had almost caused the morale of these three thousand-plus Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists to collapse.
If they hadn't been told about the significance of this battle before setting out, and that those who deserted would bring disaster upon their families, I fear this batch of Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists would have routed after only a few minutes of fighting!
War is not a numbers game; in a state of low morale, three thousand people might not even be able to exert the combat power of three hundred.
But as Li Fei began to support these Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists, everyone saw with their own eyes how their leader was invincible among the crowd, how he was peerless!
They also saw Li Fei repeatedly using extraordinary abilities to save people who should have been severely injured and dead.
Thus, the morale of the Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists began to rise continuously!
Many would involuntarily search for that golden figure on the battlefield from time to time; as long as this figure had not fallen, they still had the courage to continue fighting!
At this moment, whether in the hearts of the Northern Barbarian King's Imperial Guard or in the hearts of the Barbarian-Slaying Army's Blue Patrol Pavilion martial artists.
Li Fei was a well-deserved God of War!
In the air, the blood-colored giant transformed from Bai Yan suddenly repelled Boerhu with a spear strike.
This strike was like foreknowledge, waiting in advance on Boerhu's movement path, hitting with one strike. And when the martial arts domains of both sides collided, Bai Yan's power happened to cut into the weak point of Boerhu's martial arts domain!
This collision caused Boerhu to be not lightly injured.
This scene made it clear to all the top experts present that the advantage brought by the Heaven-Mixing Compass in the sky was beginning to manifest!
Next, Bai Yan could potentially severely injure Bo'erhu with a single move at any moment!
Wuri Tianji's eyes were anxious, and he intended to send a voice transmission to Bo'erhu, telling him to leave quickly.
Suddenly, Nuomuhan, who had been at the highest point of the battlefield, controlled the Great Vast Nine-Dragon Boat to fly toward the Heaven-Mixing Compass even higher up.
This Great Elder of the Fire Qilin Clan suddenly retracted the nine Heaven-Burning Fire Dragons he had released and made the nine dragons return to one!
He did not direct this strike at Bai Yan, but instead carried this massive power and flew out of the Twelve Heavens Blood Fiend Array, attacking the Heaven-Mixing Compass at the very top.
This scene made Wuri Tianji very confused.
Not to mention that this Heaven-Mixing Compass was the work of a True Lord, and whether Nuomuhan could eradicate it.
Even if he could successfully eradicate it, wouldn't it be too late to attack the Heaven-Mixing Compass at this time?
Moreover, Nuomuhan had suddenly withdrawn, instantly breaking the balanced situation on the field; Bai Yan could take the opportunity to attack Wuri Tianji and kill him!
Just as Wuri Tianji prepared to be attacked, Bai Yan did not strike him, but instead leaped upward violently, throwing the Black Dragon Spear in his hand toward Nuomuhan with all his might.
Bo'erhu also did not take the opportunity to attack the blood-colored giant, but instead chased after it to intercept the thrown Black Dragon Spear.
Such a change made Wuri Tianji realize something.
"Could it be..."
The top experts moved too fast; almost instantly, the Black Dragon Spear thrown with full force by the blood-colored giant was broken in half by Bo'erhu!
But the remaining front half of the spear broke through the air upward at an even faster speed; exceeding twenty times the speed of sound, this broken spear caught up to Nuomuhan and slammed heavily into the Great Vast Nine-Dragon Boat beneath his feet!
Nuomuhan did not defend with all his might, but instead continued to control the fire dragon, now merged from nine, to bombard the Heaven-Mixing Compass.
The fire dragon swallowed the compass in one gulp, and then exploded violently.
Boom—
It was as if a small sun had exploded in the sky; the entire battlefield turned into a vast whiteness, and all plants within a radius of a hundred miles withered and died!
Only at this moment did Li Fei notice the change in the battle above and hurriedly looked up.
He did not see any scene clearly, but only sensed that the light projected by the ever-present Heaven-Mixing Compass had disappeared.
Immediately afterward, a power he felt familiar with descended.
This power was grand, majestic, and supreme, yet simultaneously filled with monstrous resentment, as if it had concentrated the negative emotions of ten million people.
This was the power of Dao laws!
It was the power of a curse!
The newly ascended "Evil Demon" Qiming had struck at the blood-colored giant transformed by Bai Yan!
