Chapter 832: The Most Romantic in the Human World

In the realm where flames and clouds interweave, corpses lie in pools of blood, some even mangled beyond recognition or reduced to a pulp of flesh.

These were all left behind by the professors of the Martial University.

When Li Fei lured Xu Jing away, apart from Qin Zhen, Wang I-long, and the baleful energy controlled by the Imperial Guard, the remaining dozen or so Martial University professors resolutely charged into the Martial Dao Domains of the two Grandmasters!

These people were merely Dao Foundation stage martial artists, and the gap between them and a Grandmaster was like that of an ordinary person facing a Dao Foundation stage martial artist!

They knew that perhaps a casual sword strike from Bai Chen could take their lives, yet they joined the battle without a second thought.

Without defensive divine abilities, a Grandmaster is not impossible for a Dao Foundation stage martial artist to break through.

Therefore, Bai Chen could not ignore the threat posed by these Martial University professors.

Even if it only caused Bai Chen to be slightly distracted and forced him to expend more Dao energy, their participation was meaningful!

Thus, in just over thirty seconds, eight Martial University professors were killed in action!

Their sacrifice did indeed buy a little time for Shi Caiming and the others, alleviating some of the pressure.

After gaining three more Martial Dao Master-level combatants, Bai Chen no longer intentionally suppressed his realm.

If it were just a one-on-one with Shi Caiming, he would not mind slowly deciding the outcome and winning over his opponent with the sword.

But since it was no longer a fair one-on-one duel, he naturally stopped being polite.

Having used less than half of his "Departing Light" sword art, he suddenly changed tactics:

Within the two Martial Dao Domains, the space between heaven and earth was filled with a vast, righteous energy!

Famous mountains and rivers appeared out of thin air, stretching out before everyone.

The new sword art Bai Chen unleashed seemed to have transported all the famous mountains and rivers of the world to this very place!

This is the Creation Sword Art of the Hook-Sink Sword Sect—"Great Thousand"!

Having seen the scenery of the heavens and countless lights and shadows, Bai Chen now wanted to show everyone the Great Thousand World.

A "river" engulfed the remaining few Martial University professors, its surging sword energy making it impossible for them to maintain their footing or escape.

Four "great mountains" suppressed Shi Caiming, Qin Zhen, Wang I-long, and that black dragon of baleful energy respectively!

Shi Caiming pierced through the "great mountain" above his head with a single sword strike, also shattering the massive heaven and earth origin energy contained within it.

His Martial Dao Domain was already weaker than Bai Chen's, and when Bai Chen unleashed the "Great Thousand" sword art, the pressure on his domain became even greater!

In a struggle between Grandmasters, the collision of Martial Dao Domains is the most direct and important part.

Whoever's Martial Dao Domain gains the upper hand in the collision can reduce the suppression on themselves and unleash more powerful divine abilities.

Conversely, the opponent will become weaker the more they fight.

As one side wanes and the other waxes, the outcome will gradually become clear.

This "Great Thousand" sword art of the Hook-Sink Sword Sect was created specifically for the collision of Martial Dao Domains, designed to counter an opponent's small world, and it shares a similar ingenuity with the 【Heaven and Earth Single Blade】 mastered by Li Fei.

Once "Great Thousand" was unleashed, coupled with Bai Chen no longer intentionally suppressing his realm, the surrounding flames were gradually extinguished, and the sea of fire began to shrink.

But Shi Caiming did not retreat; he still took the initiative to charge at Bai Chen, thrusting out sword after sword.

Only by maintaining constant pressure on Bai Chen could the others be of any help.

Qin Zhen and Wang I-long also quickly shattered the "great mountains" above their heads and then moved to destroy more of the famous mountains.

The more destruction they caused, the less pressure Shi Caiming had to bear.

That black dragon of baleful energy plunged into a river, churning the water into turbulent waves.

Then, the black dragon broke through the water, actually carrying an entire river with it as it charged toward the next!

In the situation of colliding Martial Dao Domains, both Qin Zhen and Wang I-long could unleash divine abilities, but their power was weakened by nearly eighty percent.

However, the baleful energy formed by the military formation was not weakened much and played a significant role.

Inside the Martial Dao Domain, sword energy was like mountains and abysses, like rivers and streams!

Shi Caiming had already exchanged over thirty moves with Bai Chen, each one a fight to the death!

But no matter how he attacked, using his various divine abilities in turn, he struggled to truly injure Bai Chen.

Looking at Bai Chen, he had only used three divine abilities so far:

Divine Ability 【Sword Heart】: All sword moves are as one wishes, all sword moves can be broken!

Divine Ability 【Qi Sea】: Connecting the void, refining it into a sea of energy, with inexhaustible and endless sword energy!

Divine Ability 【Armor Breaking】: Automatically imbuing every strike with a sharpness characteristic, significantly increasing killing power!

These three divine abilities, combined with the Creation Sword Art "Great Thousand" that Bai Chen unleashed, already created a magnificent spectacle.

The even more terrifying part was that with the 【Qi Sea】 divine ability, as long as Bai Chen's divine power was not exhausted, his sword energy would always be at its peak, only increasing, never decreasing!

With the 【Sword Heart】 divine ability, he would only grow stronger the more he fought.

Fighting until now, Bai Chen's sword art had become increasingly fluid, and his sword intent was entering a perfect state, becoming more and more flawless!

He insisted on winning over people with the sword and challenging Shi Caiming because he could use the 【Sword Heart】 divine ability to treat his opponent as a whetstone to hone his own sword path.

The harder the whetstone, the sharper his sword edge could become!

When Bai Chen sent Shi Caiming retreating again with a sword strike like a surging river, he suddenly frowned and turned his head to one side.

A golden light like a sharp sword suddenly pierced into the two Martial Dao Domains, and in the process, it shattered a "great mountain" it encountered along the way!

Li Fei had arrived!

Shi Caiming, who was preparing to counterattack, could not help but be stunned on the spot; Wang I-long and the others were equally stunned.

Li Fei was here, so what about Xu Jing?

Bai Chen's gaze was like a sword, piercing through the distance of over a thousand meters to see the large crater in the distance.

He could no longer sense Xu Jing's aura.

"What a piece of trash."

The tone of this Hook-Sink Sword Master turned cold.

Whether Xu Jing was dead or had been beaten into fleeing by Li Fei, it seemed incredible to him.

A dignified Grandmaster, actually unable to take down a Martial Dao Master?

Bai Chen cast his gaze upon that figure in the golden robe.

After a round of fighting, the Golden Jade Kirin Armor on Li Fei was already tattered and damaged in many places.

But this did not diminish his momentum in the slightest!

Without hesitation, he once again unleashed the 【Primordial Sword Realm】.

Countless golden sword energies surged from his body, eventually converging into a golden sphere.

Bai Chen's eyes lit up, and for the first time, he showed a look of surprise:

"Such a thing exists?"

Inside the 【Primordial Sword Realm】, Li Fei felt even greater pressure than when facing Xu Jing!

Even though Bai Chen's Martial Dao Domain was currently colliding with Shi Caiming's, it still made the 【Primordial Sword Realm】 very unstable.

Li Fei immediately unleashed the 【Refining Matter】 divine ability, consuming 1, 00 Blood Souls to refine into the 【Primordial Sword Realm】, barely stabilizing it.

For the final 【Heaven and Earth Single Blade】 that killed Xu Jing, Li Fei had originally prepared to refine at least 1, 00 Blood Souls to enhance the power of that strike, going all-in to decide the outcome with one blow!

He had not expected Xu Jing's Martial Dao Domain to collapse on its own.

This saved Li Fei a large amount of Blood Souls, which could be used at this moment.

After the battle with Xu Jing, he still had over 2, 00 Blood Souls left; fortunately, the power of 【Blood Rage】 was still there, and he could barely fight a bit more.

Now, having consumed another 1, 00 Blood Souls, 【Blood Breath】 had been activated, recovering at a rate of 280 Blood Souls per minute!

Li Fei consumed another 400 Blood Souls to unleash 【Blood Rage】, increasing the blood rage power within his body by another notch.

At this moment, his total number of Blood Souls had fallen below 30%, so he entered the "Blood Demon Extreme State," and all active Blood Soul skills no longer had restrictions.

This meant that no matter how he used his 【Blood Rage】, it would not harm himself!

With the original 2, 00 units of blood rage power plus another 800, every punch and kick had a terrifying explosive force of over fifteen thousand tons!

On this basis, Li Fei once again unleashed the 【Dragon Elephant】 divine ability.

Previously, after the 【Primordial Sword Realm】 disintegrated, he had actively dispersed the Dragon Elephant power imbued upon him, because without the 【Primordial Sword Realm】 to bear the reaction force, he would have immediately severely injured himself.

Now, the Dragon Elephant power began to imbue him once again.

The golden sphere was suddenly cut open, a figure rushed into the 【Primordial Sword Realm】, and Bai Chen held his sword and swept horizontally toward Li Fei!

This sword strike was just the beginning; the sword energy within the entire 【Primordial Sword Realm】 began to tremble, and the small world became extremely unstable.

The next instant, Shi Caiming arrived, helping Li Fei bear most of the pressure, which allowed the 【Primordial Sword Realm】 to stabilize once again.

Li Fei charged fiercely toward Bai Chen!

With Shi Caiming helping him share the suppression of the Martial Dao Domain, the Bai Chen before him was no longer an invincible enemy.

As long as he could break through the defense.

If a person is killed, they will die!

Bai Chen forced Shi Caiming back again, and facing the charging Li Fei, he delivered a sword strike with nonchalance.

Only by facing this person's sword art in person could one truly appreciate the elegance of the Great Thousand World gathered into a single sword strike!

But Li Fei ignored it completely, letting the opponent's sword pierce his heart while he simply raised his blade to slash downward.

Bai Chen's sword arrived first despite being launched later, piercing Li Fei's chest, breaking through the golden light on his body, and striking his chest; the sword energy was like a stone sinking into the sea!

The Ghost Slaying Blade had already slashed toward the top of Bai Chen's head with peerless sharpness.

Bai Chen's sword heart stirred, sensing danger; he did not continue to urge the sword energy to try and shred Li Fei's heart, but instead flicked the tip of his sword upward, flicking Li Fei's entire body away.

Even so, Li Fei had already completed the downward slash, and the blade aura, carrying a shockwave, struck Bai Chen.

Boom—

A river of sword energy seemed to explode in front of Bai Chen, and these protective sword energies were instantly shattered by the slash!

Subsequently, a small, emerald-green sword appeared before him, as if carved from jade, looking very small and exquisite.

The blade aura and shockwave struck the small jade sword, shattering the blade; Bai Chen retreated over a hundred meters, but he was not injured.

Divine Ability—【Jade Sword】!

Fighting until now, Bai Chen finally used his fourth divine ability.

Seizing this opportunity, Shi Caiming thrust his sword forward, and a pillar of fire erupted into the sky within a hundred-meter radius.

The next second, Bai Chen broke through the pillar of fire, completely unscathed.

This made Li Fei feel somewhat heavy-hearted.

The killing power of this Hook-Deep Sword Master was already peerlessly fierce, and it turned out he also had defensive divine abilities; this was getting a bit difficult to fight.

Taking advantage of Shi Caiming grappling with the opponent, Li Fei used 【No Distance】 to appear behind the opponent and slashed horizontally with his blade.

When the blade edge was halfway through the slash, a sword tip held back the edge of the Ghost-Slaying Blade.

Even though this slash from Li Fei carried the impact force of tens of millions of jin, it still failed to shake the slender sword tip in the slightest.

It was as if what was holding him back was not a sword, but a Great Thousand World!

With the weight of a heaven and earth, how could one shake it with brute force alone?

But Li Fei was not fighting alone.

Shi Caiming seized the opportunity to thrust his sword toward Bai Chen's chest, but it was blocked once again by a small jade sword that appeared out of thin air.

The small jade sword was shattered, and Bai Chen turned around and forced Shi Caiming back with a sword strike.

Li Fei attacked with his blade again, but this time, before he could exert his full strength, he was struck in the left shoulder by Bai Chen's sword.

An extremely heavy force knocked him back, and then a "great mountain" fell from thin air.

Before Li Fei could slash at the mountain, a second "great mountain" appeared, overlapping the first, followed by a third, a fourth...

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The earth trembled again and again, and a deep pit that kept sinking downward appeared on the ground.

Finally, a terrifying sword aura as thick as a mountain peak fell from the sky, carrying hundreds of mighty rivers!

The sword aura and the rivers all converged into the mountain; with the mountains and waters intertwined, an entire Great Thousand World suppressed Li Fei.

Even if you have the strength of a dragon-elephant, can you withstand the weight of heaven and earth?

Meanwhile, Shi Caiming was naturally not idle; he attacked with all his might, every move a desperate gamble, breaking seven small jade swords in a row!

He fought until Bai Chen could no longer activate the 【Jade Sword】 divine ability for a short time.

But in the end, he still failed to stop Bai Chen from targeting Li Fei.

Shi Caiming could only exert his Martial Dao Domain to the fullest, preventing Bai Chen from mobilizing more power to suppress Li Fei.

After temporarily restraining Li Fei, Bai Chen was finally able to free up his hands to focus on dealing with Shi Caiming.

Li Fei's explosive power was too strong, and he was not easy to kill, which made Bai Chen truly feel threatened.

He would rather have his opponent be a true Grandmaster, fighting one against two, than face a freak like Li Fei!

Therefore, he would rather pay the price of a temporary decrease in defensive power to control Li Fei first.

Now, he would no longer hold back!

He took the initiative to attack Shi Caiming, the sword momentum in his hand changing again:

The soil beneath the two men suddenly became as soft as flowing water, and streaks of sword aura erupted from underground, blooming into lotus flowers.

In an instant, within a hundred-meter radius, lotus flowers grew everywhere; then, countless lotus flowers were generated out of thin air, completely enveloping this area to form a giant lotus flower!

Hook-Deep Sword Sect Creation Sword Art—《Green Lotus》.

As these lotus flowers appeared, Shi Caiming felt as if he had been trapped in a new heaven and earth, and his connection to his own Martial Dao Domain was suddenly severed!

This sword technique of Bai Chen's had actually opened up a small Martial Dao Domain within a Martial Dao Domain!

Using his own Martial Dao Domain to counter Shi Caiming's Martial Dao Domain, he then used this new Martial Dao Domain to suppress Shi Caiming.

Such a method could be called miraculous; this was not just a Creation Realm sword technique, but also combined the new changes derived from Bai Chen's five divine abilities after reaching the Divine Derivation Realm.

The Divine Derivation Realm combined with the 《Green Lotus》 sword technique created this "Domain within a Domain"!

With the suppression of two Martial Dao Domains, Shi Caiming could not use divine abilities for the time being, but Bai Chen still could.

He raised his sword and attacked.

The first sword, Shi Caiming vomited blood and retreated.

The second sword, a sword mark appeared on Shi Caiming's chest, deep enough to see bone, missing his heart by only a hair's breadth.

The third sword, another wound appeared on Shi Caiming's neck, cutting through one-third of it!

Although he was not completely crushed like a Martial Dao Master—after all, Shi Caiming still had Creation Realm sword techniques—facing Bai Chen, who was empowered by divine abilities, he had completely fallen into a disadvantage, and every move was extremely dangerous!

But Shi Caiming's tenacity far exceeded Bai Chen's imagination.

This old man, whose life essence was damaged, might have had a sword cultivation base inferior to Bai Chen's, but his experience in life-and-death combat was far richer than his opponent's!

He was like a small boat in a storm; he appeared to be on the verge of capsizing, yet after a giant wave, he stubbornly remained.

His face was flushed red, his whole body like a burning torch; he had already used a life-burning technique!

Outside the Green Lotus world, Wang Yilong, Qin Zhen, and the baleful black dragon were frantically attacking the giant lotus flower outside!

Rumble—

The earth shook again, and the mountain surrounded by rivers that was suppressing Li Fei was suddenly flipped away!

Li Fei leaped out from the deep pit in the ground.

Bai Chen thought that what had just happened was the result of his 【Dragon-Elephant】 divine ability being pushed to the limit, not knowing that it was only the beginning!

After he cast the 《Green Lotus》 sword technique, the suppression force on Li Fei decreased, and the dragon-elephant strength continued to increase, so he successfully broke free.

At this moment, Li Fei's strength had doubled; he rushed to the front of the lotus flower in one step, holding his blade with both hands and slashing downward, the scorching power surging from the blade edge, instantly enveloping the entire Green Lotus.

Heaven and Earth Blade!

A terrifying explosive power of over thirty thousand tons, or more than sixty million jin, mixed with Dao power, slashed onto this small heaven and earth!

A red crack first appeared on the giant green lotus, and then holes appeared in three places.

After all, it was a small Martial Dao Domain, not as sturdy as a true Martial Dao Domain.

Gathering the four powers of Li Fei, Wang Yilong, and the others, this Green Lotus world was completely shattered, turning into lotus flowers dancing all over the sky!

In the lotus world, Shi Caiming's right arm, which he used to wield his sword, was severed at the elbow; he switched the sword to his left hand and blocked horizontally in front of him.

Bai Chen, who was in the middle of attacking, suddenly suffered a backlash because the Green Lotus world was broken, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing this, Li Fei did not hesitate and directly consumed 800 blood souls to cast 【Blood Might】!

Under the "Blood Demon Extreme State," 【Blood Might】 no longer had restrictions!

【Blood Might God】 required a balance between Dharma and Martial, so Li Fei simultaneously activated the 【Refining Objects】 divine ability, refining the remaining 500 blood souls into heart-mind power and merging it into 【Blood Might】.

With this, he had less than 200 blood souls left.

This 【Blood Might God】 was a desperate, all-or-nothing final strike!

At the same time, Wang Yilong also launched a heart-mind attack on Bai Chen; he had heart-mind type divine abilities!

That baleful black dragon roared from a distance, using military baleful energy to seize the soul!

Li Fei chose to go all-in, and the others did not miss this excellent combat opportunity either.

Given Shi Caiming's current state, this was the only and final chance for them!

Once Shi Caiming died first, there would be no need to continue fighting.

Bai Chen, who had just suffered a backlash, already had his mental defenses loosened; after being hit by three types of heart-mind attacks in succession, his mind was instantly thrown into chaos!

With only one arm left and covered in blood, Shi Caiming did not waste the opportunity created by Li Fei and the others, thrusting his sword forward.

The remaining power of the Martial Dao Domain, the power of heaven and earth, and the power of divine abilities were all concentrated on this sword!

This was also his final life-or-death sword strike!

The sword tip broke through Bai Chen's protective sword aura, broke through layers of heaven and earth origin energy, and pierced into his glabella, the sword aura exploding—

Destroying his brain!

Li Fei, not feeling reassured, stepped forward and rushed up.

He knew that a Grandmaster's vitality was powerful; even if the heart and brain were destroyed, as long as the heart-mind did not dissipate, they could still survive for dozens of seconds.

To prevent the opponent from counter-killing Shi Caiming, or from having any other life-saving divine abilities to use, Li Fei used 【No Distance】 to teleport behind Bai Chen and slashed horizontally with another 【Heaven and Earth Blade】!

Slaying both the physical body and the heart-mind!

The scorching power enveloped Bai Chen's entire body, and then the blade edge slashed through.

Li Fei stood behind Bai Chen, maintaining the posture of a horizontal blade slash.

Shi Caiming stood in front of Bai Chen, maintaining the posture of a forward sword thrust.

Between the two, Bai Chen's body first turned into two halves, then was burned to ashes by flames!

Time: 49th Year of Hongguang, July 8th.

Location: Wu'an University.

Deceased: Hook-Deep Sword Master.

49th Year of Hongguang, July 8th.

King Li Qin Mingli and the First Imperial Prince Qin Zihong took control of the 100, 00 border troops in the Southern Territory, intending to march north to "clear the Emperor's side"!

Once the news broke, the world was shocked!

And not long after this news spread, another piece of news spread across the world at an astonishing speed:

The head of the Lu family, Lu Wenzheng, joined forces with the President of Hongyi University, Xu Jing, to raise an army and follow the First Imperial Prince.

Xu Jing and the Hook-Deep Sword Master Bai Chen joined forces to kill their way into Wu'an University, intending to behead the President of Wu'an University, Shi Caiming!

At the critical moment, Marquis of Jing'an Li Fei arrived in time.

At the realm of a Martial Dao Master, he reverse-killed the Grandmaster Xu Jing!

Afterwards, he joined forces with Shi Caiming and others to slay the Hook-Sinking Sword Master once more!

Such a battle record is unparalleled throughout the ages.

This is the most dashing feat in the human world!
