Chapter 82: Seeking the 'Dao' through the Saber

*Shua—*

Inside the private room, a saber light flashed, and Li Fei suddenly drew his saber and slashed at Zhang Mingze!

It is difficult for a cautious person to be carefree, because the former requires restraint, while the latter requires indulgence.

To be carefree in this life, sometimes one must even break all rules and constraints!

Li Fei's personality conflicted with the goal he sought in this life, which was a point he had been struggling with before.

And now, this slash at the Tiger Saber Gang's secretary, Zhang Mingze, spoke Li Fei's answer:

Cautious action is just a means; being carefree in this life is the result he wants.

The former is the 'Art', the latter is the 'Dao'.

He didn't rush to take action immediately, but seized the time to cultivate, making the steel armor implant stronger, and also leveling up the Ten Thousand Blood Pearl, making all kinds of preparations before taking action.

This is Li Fei's 'Art'.

Knowing full well that continuing to play along with the Tiger Saber Gang was a safer and more secure way, he insisted on tearing off the mask in the most decisive way at this time.

This is Li Fei's 'Dao'.

Seeking the 'Dao' through the saber!

This sudden slash was completely beyond Zhang Mingze's expectations.

He had specifically brought more guards here today, and even called the gang's sword master, Zong Guang, to stand guard on the side, just in case.

But Li Fei first took the initiative to leave, then refused the transaction to continue helping the Tiger Saber Gang kill officials, and everything performed very normally, which completely dispelled Zhang Mingze's doubts.

He never expected that Li Fei would suddenly turn against him and take action.

The two were less than three meters apart, and Li Fei stepped forward and drew his saber in an instant.

When the three words "Your life" were spoken, the saber edge had already touched the hair on Zhang Mingze's forehead!

At the critical moment of life and death, this Tiger Saber Gang secretary displayed speed and strength inconsistent with his scholarly air.

He quickly raised his right arm to block the incoming saber edge, while leaning his body backward.

*Pa! *

The saber edge slashed through Zhang Mingze's sleeve, revealing the dark green leather clothing underneath, which also had white patterns.

The saber edge failed to slash through this layer of leather clothing, and Li Fei immediately judged from the tactile feedback that Zhang Mingze was also wearing Level 3 protective clothing!

Not only that, Zhang Mingze was also a martial artist hiding his true strength!

The Tiger Saber Gang was most famous for its 'Intelligence' and 'Strength'. 'Intelligence' was the secretary Zhang Mingze, and 'Strength' was the gang leader Yu Hu.

All along, Zhang Mingze had presented himself as a strategist, only hiding in the dark to do treacherous things, and never taking action in front of others, so no one knew that he was actually a martial artist with considerable strength.

However, although Zhang Mingze hid deep, he still underestimated the strength Li Fei erupted with.

For this slash, Li Fei used 'Blood Rage' directly, and it was a 'Blood Rage' that consumed 5 Blood Souls at once!

After the steel armor implant was further strengthened, approaching the mid-stage of the Body Breaking Realm, the maximum number of Blood Souls Li Fei's body could withstand also increased, becoming 5.

Because there were guards outside the door and a sword master inside the room, Li Fei used his full strength as soon as he took action.

The Blood Rage unleashed by 5 Blood Souls was already no weaker than Ling Yong's back then!

The saber edge slashed Zhang Mingze's right arm. Although it failed to slash through his protective clothing, the powerful force still forcibly smashed down his raised right arm, leaving his defenses wide open.

*Shua—*

Blood light appeared suddenly, Zhang Mingze's black-rimmed glasses were slashed into two pieces and flew out, his right eye was grazed by the saber tip, the eyeball was cut open, and blood flowed profusely immediately!

Zhang Mingze screamed, subconsciously covering his eyes with his hands, while retreating backward.

*Qiang—*

A crisp sound of a sword being drawn drowned out Zhang Mingze's scream. Zong Guang, who was standing in the corner, moved, instantly drawing his sword from its sheath and stabbing toward Li Fei.

His sword momentum was as fast as lightning, and there was truly electric light flickering on the sword body!

Zong Guang was a very famous sword master in Xingcheng, a peak Body Breaking Realm martial artist who had reached the point of needing to break through the realm through life-and-death tempering.

He had had three public duels before, winning all three, and thus became famous in Xingcheng, even being considered the strongest Body Breaking Realm martial artist in the Xingcheng area!

The implant Zong Guang used was the Grade 2 medium-level 【Lei Yu】. This implant was not among the Five Elements, but a mutated thunder attribute.

Mutated attribute implants were usually very powerful, allowing martial artists to gain a great advantage in the same realm, but the disadvantage was that after stepping into the Dao Foundation Realm, it was very difficult to find other implants that matched it, and the difficulty of wanting to practice into a Martial Dao Foundation was several times harder than a normal Five Elements attribute implant.

Zong Guang could actually have chosen a normal Five Elements attribute implant back then, but he still chose the mutated attribute 【Lei Yu】, just because he knew very well that with his aptitude and family background, the possibility of him stepping into the Dao Foundation Realm in this life was slim, let alone practicing into a Martial Dao Foundation and achieving the First-Class Realm.

So he resolutely chose 【Lei Yu】, seeking only four words in this life—invincible in the same realm!

With the power of the mutated attribute implant 【Lei Yu】, plus an extraordinary sword technique, Zong Guang indeed had the qualifications to pursue these four words.

At this moment, he stabbed a sword toward Li Fei, and the distance between the two seemed not to exist, the sword light stabbing in front of Li Fei in an instant.

Li Fei swung his saber to block this sword with the Rolling Thunder Style.

Now his Rolling Thunder Style had already entered the hall and reached the room. With one slash, the force was like an explosive thunder, capable of shaking away the opponent's weapon, or even shaking it out of their hand.

However, at the moment the saber and sword collided, Zong Guang's wrist shook, and the sword body vibrated, unloading the force.

The next second, a dazzling electric light erupted from Zong Guang's sword, and the powerful current hit Li Fei's arm along the steel saber!

This was the extraordinary ability of 【Lei Yu】—Thunder Strike.

The implantation method of 【Lei Yu】 was the same as 【Steel Armor】, both implanted under the skin, so Zong Guang's entire body skin could discharge electricity!

At this moment, he concentrated all the electrical energy in his palm and released it through the sword in his hand, which was also his most commonly used killing move.

A patch of pitch black appeared on the blade of the steel saber, and cracks appeared on the wood of the saber handle, emitting white smoke and a burnt smell.

However, after the current hit Li Fei's arm, he was completely unaffected. His right hand held the saber to continue blocking Zong Guang's sword, while stepping forward to chase Zhang Mingze, who was retreating.

This powerful current, enough to knock an ordinary person down instantly, only made him feel his arm go numb, as if he had been stung by a bee.

Li Fei caught up with Zhang Mingze, who was retreating, in one step, threw down the suitcase containing the protective clothing, and his left hand moved forward, printing a palm heavily on Zhang Mingze's chest.

At the moment of impact, a large amount of Blood Sha Qi surged out from Li Fei's palm!

The Level 3 protective clothing isolated a portion of the Blood Evil Energy, but a portion of the Blood Evil Energy still surged into Zhang Mingze's body through the protective clothing.

Zhang Mingze was hit and flew out by Li Fei's palm, spraying a mouthful of blood, and hit the wall of the private room heavily, life or death unknown.

Actually, this secretary was not unprepared.

Level 3 protective clothing plus his own considerable strength, plus a sword master who was 'invincible in the same realm' as a guard, and several martial artists guarding outside the private room, plus this was the Green Origin Fist Stronghold, as long as someone dared to cause trouble, masters would soon come to suppress it.

Under such circumstances, even if he were really facing a Qi-Changing Realm martial master, Zhang Mingze felt that his self-preservation was completely fine.

It was just that his caution seemed insignificant when facing things outside his cognition.

After the strike succeeded, Li Fei immediately picked up the suitcase he had thrown on the ground and rushed toward the window on the side without looking back.

The guards guarding outside heard the movement and rushed in, while Zong Guang seized the opportunity to stab Li Fei in the heart with his sword!

This sword directly pierced the iron plate of Li Fei's stab-proof vest on his back, and the powerful current hit Li Fei's body along with it.

Li Fei felt his body go numb, but his movements were not slow at all. With the help of the impact from his back, he leaped forward and crashed through the window to rush out.

Zong Guang was both shocked and angry, and looked at Zhang Mingze who had fallen to the ground:

"Protect the secretary!"

Then he also leaped out of the window.
