Chapter 796: Dragon-Baleful Asura, Iron-Blooded Soldiers

The reappearing blood-colored giant soared into the sky, surrounded by black baleful energy that transformed into a black dragon coiling around its body.

Guided by the Heaven-Mixing Compass, Li Fei turned the baleful energy formed by the military formation into a black dragon, thereby enabling this blood-colored giant to fly through the air.

Military formations formed by baleful weapons are divided into multiple levels, starting from the thousand-man level; after forming a formation, each set of thousand-man level baleful weapons has at least two specific tactical stances.

One is the dispersed stance, and the other is the gathered stance.

The dispersed stance is like the Green Frost Army turning into a torrent to clear the way, with everyone standing in scattered positions.

The gathered stance is like this blood-colored giant right now, bringing everyone together to form a single entity, controlled by the lead general.

The dispersed stance is suitable for two armies charging, using the Imperial Guard Army to sweep across the battlefield.

The gathered stance is suitable for dueling with experts, offering higher mobility.

The three thousand-man Imperial Guard units that joined the Barbarian-Slaying Army all use the same set of baleful weapons, and the gathered stance they practice is also the same, named 【Dragon-Baleful Asura】.

With the help of 【Dragon-Baleful Asura】, Li Fei condensed this blood-colored giant, but unlike Bai Yan before him, he did not use baleful energy to condense a weapon; instead, he transformed it into a black dragon to protect his body, then used it to drive the blood-colored giant to fly through the air.

"Mi Han, I order you as the Army Supervisor of the Barbarian-Slaying Army to join me in the attack!"

After the blood-colored giant ascended, Li Fei did not immediately join the battle, but instead transmitted his voice to Mi Han, who was still hesitating in the distance.

When Mi Han's flying sword did not immediately attack Boerhu, he understood that this former Deputy Pavilion Master of the Law Enforcement Pavilion was somewhat afraid of battle.

But he did not immediately order Mi Han, because at that time, he did not yet possess enough leverage.

Now that he had regained command of an Imperial Guard unit, possessing at least equal power to Mi Han and bringing a glimmer of hope to the Barbarian-Slaying Army, Li Fei finally issued the order to Mi Han.

Now that the Regional Commander had fallen, he, as the Army Supervisor, naturally took over the highest authority of the entire army!

Upon hearing Li Fei's voice, Mi Han's expression shifted; he glanced at the Heaven-Mixing Compass still hanging high above and transmitted back to Li Fei:

"You just attack, I will naturally cooperate."

Taking advantage of the moment Li Fei took charge of the Imperial Guard unit, Boerhu was the first to collide with the purple blade aura slashed by Qiu Zi'an.

Facing this blade aura with astonishing killing power, formed from a Martial Dao Domain, Boerhu did not dodge or evade; black baleful light condensed on his fist, and he punched the middle section of the blade aura.

BOOM!!!

A thunderous sound echoed through heaven and earth, and the air within a hundred-meter radius was instantly sucked dry, forming a vacuum.

The purple blade aura was broken in the middle by Boerhu's punch!

Qiu Zi'an, who was flying toward this side, trembled and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Even though she was very close to the Dao-Establishing Realm, the gap between her and Boerhu remained immense!

After breaking the blade aura, the wings on Boerhu's back flapped, and he charged toward Ji Yifan.

Ji Yifan, currently a mass of white clouds, was retreating at high speed, attempting to rendezvous with his other two companions.

Seeing Boerhu charging over, he immediately unfolded his own Martial Dao Domain.

White clouds drifted leisurely, flowing through a thousand years.

The sound of flutes and the cries of cranes, roaming free across the world.

The Martial Dao Domain of this Qingshan University president is named 【Cloud-Heart Carefree Heaven】.

At this moment, a scene of blue sky and white clouds, white cranes soaring, zithers and flutes playing in harmony, and the sound of flutes drifting leisurely unfolded before Boerhu's eyes.

Boerhu's eyes were cold and sharp; a monstrous killing intent surged forth, destroying the artistic conception before him.

The Northern Barbarian tribes have struggled to survive for a thousand years in this treacherous land and have no room for such poetic sentiment!

He threw a punch, and the terrifying killing power pierced through the layers of illusions set by 【Cloud-Heart Carefree Heaven】.

Even though the Martial Dao Domain continuously dissipated his power, his punch still punched through 【Cloud-Heart Carefree Heaven】 and struck Ji Yifan!

On the surface of Ji Yifan's body, there was still a layer of Clear Spirit Light set by Zhang Chengbi.

But this light barrier was also punched through, and in the end, Ji Yifan spat blood and flew backward like a cannonball.

The Peace Talismans capable of defending against a Grandmaster's attack were only possessed by Bai Yan and Li Fei in the entire Barbarian-Slaying Army.

Seeing that Ji Yifan could not last a few moves under Boerhu's fist and the situation was precarious, Li Fei did not immediately move to rescue him.

After receiving Mi Han's reply, he controlled the blood-colored giant to fly toward Nuomuhan, who was still in the air.

He was not going to save anyone; he was going to kill!

"Saving people always leaves one in a passive position; only by killing can one carve out an opportunity!"

Li Fei locked his gaze on Nuomuhan, who was stepping on a black boat.

This Great Elder of the Fire Qilin Tribe had just been severely injured by Bai Yan while trying to temporarily interfere with the Heaven-Mixing Compass; at this moment, not only was he heavily wounded, but his natal magic treasure beneath his feet also had multiple cracks.

Now that Nuomuhan's combat power was less than one-tenth of its peak, it was the best time to kill him!

Mi Han understood Li Fei's intention immediately and couldn't help but praise him silently in his heart; he immediately controlled his natal flying sword to slash toward Nuomuhan.

The flying sword, as huge as a mountain, reappeared, and with a flash of sword light, it was already a thousand meters away!

Boerhu, who was chasing Ji Yifan, felt a flash of anger in his eyes; he gave up attacking Ji Yifan and turned to chase Mi Han's flying sword.

Seeing this scene, Li Fei breathed a sigh of relief, knowing he had bet correctly.

As fellow Heaven-Capital powerhouses and Great Elders of their respective tribes, Nuomuhan's life was far more important than the dead Wuri Tianji!

Not only because Nuomuhan's realm was higher than Wuri Tianji's, but also because his status and position were more critical.

If the Wuri Tribe lost a Great Elder, they still had their Chieftain and Boerhu, so the overall situation would not change.

But for the Fire Qilin Tribe, one of the four great powerful tribes, if the Great Elder Nuomuhan were to suddenly die in battle, the Fire Qilin Tribe might truly collapse!

The Fire Qilin Tribe was the first of the four great tribes that Boerhu had won over, and it was his most important combat force after the Wuri Tribe.

Therefore, no matter what, he could not allow Nuomuhan to be killed!

If Nuomuhan were to die here today, even if he killed Bai Yan, Boerhu would not feel that he had won.

In the air, seeing the blood-colored giant controlled by Li Fei charging toward him, Nuomuhan chose to retreat without hesitation.

He also understood the significance of his existence; he had been impulsive just now, risking himself to win a chance for victory for Boerhu, and now what he needed to do was protect himself well.

The blood-colored giant suddenly vanished, then appeared behind Nuomuhan and smashed down with a fist!

Different commanders will have different performances when controlling 【Dragon-Baleful Asura】.

The main difference is reflected in their divine abilities.

At this moment, receiving a steady stream of power support, Li Fei fully activated the 【No-Distance】 divine ability, breaking the original limit, with a maximum teleportation distance reaching one thousand meters.

But he was no longer fighting alone; carrying thousands of people through the space interlayer simultaneously also consumed an astonishing amount of energy!

However, Li Fei could not worry about the consumption now; he only sought to kill Nuomuhan as quickly as possible!

Mastering 【Dragon-Baleful Asura】, Li Fei felt stronger than ever before.

The power within his body felt as if it could shatter heaven and earth!

He threw a punch, and the massive fist, carrying the black dragon baleful energy, also sucked the air within a hundred-meter radius dry, forming a vacuum.

A sea of fire generated out of thin air, blocking the front of the fist, but it was instantly blasted apart.

ROAR—

Two Heaven-Burning Fire Dragons roared as they rushed out of the sea of fire, like giant pythons, coiling toward the blood-colored giant.

One Heaven-Burning Fire Dragon coiled around the blood-colored giant's right arm as it punched, while the other coiled around the blood-colored giant's body.

Space locking, energy absorption, flame burning...

The moment he came into contact with the two Heaven-Burning Fire Dragons, he sensed the power of multiple divine abilities.

These divine abilities were perfectly blended together to form the Heaven-Burning Fire Dragons.

While being coiled by the Heaven-Burning Fire Dragons, the surrounding space was locked, and Li Fei could not use 【No-Distance】.

Just as he intended to exert force to break free, his perception changed again:

The two Heaven-Burning Fire Dragons turned into two balls of light stuck to his body.

Inside each ball of light were five smaller balls of light.

Lines flew out from these small balls of light, connecting with the other balls, and finally 'wove' into a huge ball of light.

"So that's how it is."

Li Fei condensed the dragon baleful energy and blasted it toward the two large balls of light he perceived!

After the baleful energy hit the large balls of light, it precisely cut the lines within them, causing problems in the connection between the small balls of light.

To the outside world, the blood-colored giant transformed by Li Fei was coiled by two fire dragons, and the black dragon baleful energy on his body split into two streams, invading the bodies of the two fire dragons.

Immediately after, the blood-colored giant opened his arms, and a torrent of power erupted in all directions.

The two fire dragons coiling around his body instantly shattered inch by inch!

All of this seemed complex, but in reality, it was completed in the blink of an eye.

Nuomuhan, stepping on the black boat, had a look of astonishment in his eyes.

He knew that the person practicing the military formation at this time was Li Fei, and no matter how monstrous Li Fei was, it was impossible for him to perfectly master the power of this realm before reaching the Grandmaster realm.

In his view, Li Fei at this time should be like a child wielding a heavy hammer—having a sharp weapon but no deterrent power.

As it turned out, Li Fei proved with just one move that he was not a 'child', but a powerhouse capable of threatening his life!

Nuomuhan looked up at the Heaven-Mixing Compass in the sky and understood.

This thing was not being controlled remotely in real-time by Xiang Yunshu.

In other words, if Bai Yan were to die in battle, the second auxiliary target of the Heaven-Mixing Compass was Li Fei.

This matter had been decided in advance!

"The first in history, huh..."

Nuomuhan's expression was complex.

He felt that the reason for such a setup was not that the Emperor of the Great Lan Dynasty expected Li Fei, a Martial Dao Master, to be able to turn the tide after Bai Yan's death.

It was purely to give Li Fei a few more chances to survive; even if the Barbarian-Slaying Army's mission failed, as long as Li Fei could return alive, that was enough!

"I'm afraid that Central Plains Emperor did not expect that this 'first in history,' after receiving the help of the Heaven-Mixing Compass, would not have his first reaction be to run away, but rather to continue killing..."

Nuomuhan spat out another mouthful of blood, his expression pained, as he used all his strength to control the Great Void Nine Dragon Boat to flee.

However, this natal magic treasure had been damaged, and its flight speed was no longer at its peak.

The blood-colored giant transformed from Li Fei once again utilized 【No Distance】, instantly catching up to Nuomuhan and throwing another punch.

This time, Nuomuhan could only barely manifest a Heaven-Burning Fire Dragon to coil around himself.

Li Fei similarly sensed the large ball of light within this Heaven-Burning Fire Dragon; he struck the ball of light with precision, and dragon baleful energy surged into it, severing the connections between its various divine abilities.

With just one punch, this Heaven-Burning Fire Dragon was blasted apart!

Although Li Fei's strength currently only barely reached the level of a Grandmaster of the Divine Derivation Realm, with the Heaven-Mixing Compass having completed its analysis ahead of time and collected sufficient information, his insight was already approaching the level of a top-tier powerhouse!

In every gesture and movement, every punch and kick pointed directly to the essence.

Such a combat experience was undoubtedly extremely precious to Li Fei!

Suddenly, a warning arose in his heart, and a black ray of light appeared in his perception.

Although he had sensed it in advance, and the Heaven-Mixing Compass had even provided Li Fei with the subsequent flight trajectory of this black ray.

But Li Fei's reaction speed could not keep up.

Bang!!!

The black ray slammed heavily into the head of the blood-colored giant, blasting away the black dragon baleful energy on its surface, and then caving in the skull of the blood-colored giant.

The person who arrived was naturally Bo'erhu.

He had just knocked away Mi Han's flying sword, and then charged over, preparing to blast apart the blood-colored giant transformed from Li Fei!

The moment he suffered the attack, Li Fei felt the marvelous nature of the military formation:

The defensive mechanism of the military formation itself could first significantly weaken the damage received, and then the remaining damage would be shared among the thousands of Imperial Camp soldiers.

Moreover, there were over one hundred and fifty Dao Foundation stage martial artists and three Martial Dao Masters in this military formation, which increased the formation's capacity to withstand damage significantly.

Under these circumstances, as long as the commander was willing, he could remain completely unharmed until the military formation collapsed!

The moment they formed the Gathering Momentum military formation and handed the lead to Li Fei, these Imperial Camp soldiers within the blood-colored giant were equivalent to placing their lives in Li Fei's hands.

Li Fei did not choose to let the Imperial Camp soldiers bear all the damage, but instead actively guided a portion of the damage to himself.

"Marquis of Jing'an, you must not!"

Within the military formation, the three Martial Dao Masters shouted almost simultaneously, wanting to stop Li Fei from doing so.

But it was already too late; the fierce fist force, carrying the power of a Martial Dao Domain, slammed into Li Fei!

His blood souls decreased by over five hundred in an instant, and the Ten Thousand Blood Bead, which had just recovered a portion of its blood souls, was emptied once again.

The next second, the Ten Thousand Blood Bead was full again!

It had only been a tiny bit of energy away from leveling up, and having now endured a 'high-quality' strike from Bo'erhu, the energy was finally full.

Leveling up from 41 to 42, the total amount of blood souls increased by 82, becoming 3847.

Adding the 1483 blood souls remaining in the blood spring, the total blood soul count became 5330.

He could be reckless again!

"Marquis of Jing'an, we have been struck by a curse and are already facing certain death; you should prioritize sharing the attacks you receive with us from now on!"

A Martial Dao Master in the military formation suddenly said.

"That's right, we are already doomed to die; we should play our final role!"

"Marquis of Jing'an, you must not act on impulse."

Within the military formation, the three Martial Dao Masters who were cursed said one after another.

Hearing this, Li Fei felt somewhat conflicted.

In the Killing Barbarian Army, although there were people like Mi Han who were greedy for life and afraid of death, thinking of fleeing at the first sign of trouble.

But there were also iron-blooded soldiers like these three Martial Dao Masters!

"Fine—"

Li Fei replied, once again utilizing 【No Distance】 to dodge Bo'erhu, catch up to Nuomuhan, and throw a punch.

At the same time, Mi Han's flying sword and Qiu Zi'an's blade aura also attacked Bo'erhu.

Further away, Qi Zhou, while flying, cast the 【Pulling Threads】 divine ability on Nuomuhan.

This divine ability of his could be used to save people from a distance, and naturally, it could also be used to control others from a distance.

It was only because the Heaven-Mixing Compass had been temporarily interfered with by Nuomuhan that Qi Zhou dared to secretly meddle.

Now that the Heaven-Mixing Compass was once again shrouding the entire scene, he naturally went all out, driving the 【Pulling Threads】 divine ability to influence Nuomuhan.

Seeing Nuomuhan in danger again, Bo'erhu suddenly expanded his own Martial Dao Domain, shrouding the blood-colored giant transformed from Li Fei, the flying sword, the blade aura, and Nuomuhan all within it.

PS: Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
