Chapter 82: Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts

Cultivating both magic and martial arts leads to conflict in the later stages, making it difficult for the cultivation base of either path to break through to higher levels, so many people choose only a single path of cultivation.

However, cultivating both magic and martial arts still has advantages in the early stages; one can basically crush the vast majority of cultivators at the same realm!

Old He and Little Wang were experts in both magic and martial arts, created by Zhao Yu by concentrating the resources of the entire Anshen Sect!

At this moment, Old He threw a talisman paper at Li Fei while shouting an incantation.

The talisman paper is the material, and the incantation can trigger the ritual left on the talisman paper. As a Body-Breaking realm sorcerer, one can only perform sorcery by satisfying the requirements of both the material and the ritual.

The thrown talisman paper ignited without fire, turning into a cloud of dispersing smoke, and then Old He moved his feet, darting to Li Fei's left side and kicking a high whip kick toward Li Fei's temple.

The sorcery he performed was called "Gaze," which can make people subconsciously focus their attention on the cloud of smoke after the talisman paper burns.

Even if the attention is only diverted for half a second, it is fatal in a fight!

Snap!

The air exploded, and Old He's high whip kick accurately struck Li Fei's temple.

If it were a martial artist without defensive implants, this strike would basically be a one-hit kill!

But Li Fei only tilted his head slightly, and the knife in his hand stabbed over fiercely.

His attention had not been diverted at all!

This time, Li Fei paid special attention to the angle of his knife, avoiding the flame patterns on Old He's leg and stabbing in from a blank spot without patterns.

The knife successfully stabbed in, and the blade got stuck on the opponent's shinbone.

Old He let out a muffled groan and hurriedly withdrew his leg.

On the other side, Little Wang had also arrived. Seeing that Old He was injured, he hurriedly threw a talisman paper toward this side and performed sorcery.

What he used on Li Fei was the "Soul-Calming Art." He thought that even if he couldn't make Li Fei fall asleep directly, he should at least stop Li Fei's offensive, thereby buying time for Old He.

However, Li Fei didn't even blink as he continued to strike with his knife, chasing after Old He to hack at him!

Old He lifted his right leg, which was not heavily injured, bringing his knee to his chest. His right leg acted like a shield in front of him, while his body leaned backward.

Li Fei's knife slashed into Old He's right knee, but there was a flame pattern where the knife landed, so the wound was not deep.

Snap!

Old He, leaning backward, took the opportunity to snap his right leg out, kicking Li Fei's right arm that was holding the knife.

The power of this leg still drove the "Flame Pattern" implant, and the explosive force was enough to bend a solid steel pipe!

However, Li Fei was completely unaffected. He quickly took a step forward, the knife in his hand sliding along the opponent's kneecap, and with the tip of the knife pointing downward, he stabbed into Old He's lower abdomen.

Snap—

An explosion sounded, but it was Little Wang who had rushed to Li Fei's side and kicked him.

The implant Little Wang used was also "Flame Pattern." After kicking Li Fei once, he immediately kicked a second and third time, performing a chain kick.

In an instant, dozens of leg shadows shrouded Li Fei's upper body!

Li Fei took several hits in the blink of an eye. He "unhurriedly" pulled out his knife, not forgetting to twist it hard in Old He's lower abdomen before pulling it out.

Pull out the knife, turn around, strike with the knife.

Li Fei braced himself against Little Wang's attack and unleashed a Rolling Thunder style.

Little Wang's ability to adapt was clearly much worse than Old He's. He failed to kick in time to deflect Li Fei's blade and was slashed by the knife, leaving a very deep wound on his chest.

Little Wang screamed and retreated in panic, only for his lower leg to be fiercely hooked by something, causing him to lose his balance instantly.

The martial arts he practiced were all focused on footwork, so he almost subconsciously wanted to stabilize his center of gravity again.

But Li Fei did not give him this chance; he stepped forward half a step and plunged his knife into his chest.

Little Wang opened his eyes wide, looking at Li Fei with a face full of terror.

Li Fei decisively pulled out his knife, turned around, and rushed toward Old He, who had fallen to the ground on the other side and was still casting spells.

Old He took the opportunity to use another Soul-Calming Art, but it was still useless.

"You..."

Swish—

Li Fei plunged his knife into his chest.

"Hoo—"

Only after finishing off both of them did Li Fei breathe a sigh of relief and check the Ten Thousand Blood Bead inside his body:

【Level: Level 5, 98%

Blood Soul: 16 + 16%】

After the battle in the mountain stronghold two days ago, the Blood Souls in the Ten Thousand Blood Bead had already been consumed somewhat, and he had recovered more than 5 in the nearly two days since. In the battle just now, he had withstood three sorcery spells, taken several heavy blows from the two, and used Blood Rage twice, resulting in a total loss of more than 9 Blood Souls.

"Two people drained this much blood from me; if a few more opponents like this come, I'll be in danger today."

Li Fei thought to himself.

Seeing that he was only 2% energy away from leveling up, he simply took out the medicine bottle again and swallowed another Embryo-Nourishing Pill.

Soon, the energy brought by the pill allowed the Ten Thousand Blood Bead to meet the requirements for leveling up:

【Level: Level 6, 0%

Blood Soul: 40

Blood Soul Skill: Blood Rage】

This upgrade increased the Blood Souls by 10, and the Blood Soul recovery speed became 4 every 24 hours.

"Finally, I have a little bit of a sense of security."

Li Fei nodded to himself and then began to search Old He and Little Wang for items.

In the end, he found more than a dozen talisman papers, several bottles of pills, and a book without a cover on them.

He immediately flipped through the book, only to find that it was actually a novel.

"Sure enough, who would carry a secret manual on them if they were a serious person?"

"Can something carried on one's person be a secret manual?"

Li Fei shook his head, packed up everything he had found, and continued to run for his life.

He did not get complacent just because he had killed two experts in both magic and martial arts. What if the Anshen Sect still had several such experts?

So it was better to run away quickly.

After running for more than ten minutes, Li Fei had just climbed up a hillside when he saw the jungle ahead swaying, clearly indicating someone was there.

"Could it be that the people from the Inspection Court and the Stop-Conflict Court have found me?"

His heart leaped with joy, but out of caution, he quickly found a patch of lush grass and hid inside.

In the jungle, a young man wearing a dark blue robe was being carried on the back of a middle-aged man wearing a black robe embroidered with fish patterns.

The person wearing the dark blue robe was a mage from the Justice Court, and the one carrying him was a martial master from the Stop-Conflict Court.

Because they had discovered the marks Li Fei left along the way, in order to save time, the lead official martial master of the Stop-Conflict Court proposed that they take a few mages from the Justice Court and proceed first.

For this operation, the Stop-Conflict Court had again dispatched four official martial masters, as well as ten martial masters at the early stage of Qi Transformation and more than thirty martial artists at the Body-Breaking realm.

Coupled with the five mages from the Justice Court, if such a lineup still couldn't solve the Anshen Sect, then Xingcheng would only be able to apply to the higher-ups to mobilize the army.

"There is someone ahead."

The young mage from the Justice Court who was being carried suddenly spoke up.

He had his eyes closed, and there was a cyan pattern between his eyebrows that looked like an eye drawn on it.

"In which direction?"

An official martial master on the side asked.

"That way."

The young mage raised his arm and pointed to a hillside ahead.

Swish—

The official martial master who had asked the question accelerated, leaving an afterimage in place, and instantly covered a distance of more than ten meters.

Another figure followed at a speed that was not at all inferior to his.

The two quickly rushed up the hillside. One twitched his ears, and the other twitched his nose, and then they almost simultaneously locked onto the patch of grass where Li Fei was hiding:

"Come out!"

"Teacher?!"

Li Fei stood up from the grass with a look of surprise.
