Chapter 312: Chapter 56 Like a Beast_3

Whoosh—

The blade of the sword suddenly swung to the left, like a soft whip, lashing against the side of the Ghost Slash Blade.

Li Fei’s slash had already been affected by the Mountain and Sea Endless Strength, feeling as if a mountain weighed down upon the blade. Now, with the sword’s lash, a flexible strength merged with the rigidity, making it impossible for him to maintain the slash, causing the Ghost Slash Blade to veer off course.

At this moment, the blood mist between the two was blown apart by the strong winds, and Ximen Hui caught a glimpse of the fleeting dark golden color on Li Fei.

“Does he have two layers of Protective Force?”

Ximen Hui mused in his heart.

It was actually possible for those in the Tao Foundation Stage to cultivate multiple types of Force, since their bodies contained several Implants, but the strength of each separately cultivated Force was certainly not as powerful as that enhanced by the Five Elements Mutual Generation principle.

Therefore, Ximen Hui was somewhat puzzled as to why Li Fei would cultivate two types of Force.

At this time, Li Fei was equally perplexed, not understanding why Ximen Hui had changed his tactics at the last moment.

After all, it was Ximen Hui who had just gained the upper hand, able to stab him first.

Of course, if it really came down to ‘Life Swapping,’ the opponent could only swap out a part of the Blood Soul from the Myriad Blood Pearl.

The exchange of blows between the two was swift, lasting less than a second.

Li Fei flicked his wrist, and the shaken Ghost Slash Blade rotated back around, lifting upwards in a slash.

Ximen Hui’s Soft Sword in his hand moved rapidly, its shadow continuous, the Force like waves, instantly forming layers of ‘Water Curtains’ in front of him.

Each layer of ‘Water Curtain’ concealed deadly threats, and as Li Fei slashed through with the Ghost Slash Blade, he would occasionally collide with ‘hidden reefs.’

Water Curtain Heaven’s Gate, Floating Mountain’s Shadow!

This move used defense as attack, with the transition between offense and defense happening in the blink of an eye.

Seeing Li Fei’s slash impeded and exposing flaws, Ximen Hui almost instinctively counterattacked with a thrust, the Soft Sword in his hand sweeping upward, its body bending, aiming straight for Li Fei’s eyes!

Simultaneously, Li Fei’s slashing momentum changed, the Force resounding continuously, then swirling into a spiral cut, breaking through three ‘Water Curtains’ in the blink of an eye, and the encountered ‘hidden reefs’ shattered one by one.

Armor-piercing Style!

The scene was similar to before, with Ximen Hui again piercing through Li Fei’s Protective Force first, seizing the initiative.

But at the critical moment, he once again gave up on continuing the attack, abruptly retracting his sword to entangle Li Fei’s Ghost Slash Blade, disrupting Li Fei’s assault.

This time he finally perceived clearly what Li Fei’s second layer of Protective Force was—

Hard, solid, brilliant, like an Eternal Unbreakable barrier!

“Vajra Force?!”

Ximen Hui’s eyes widened in shock.

In that instant, he felt a crisis again, even stronger than the previous two times!

Before he could react, his spirit shook violently, and then a boundless Blood Sea appeared before his eyes…

After using a Full Power Blood Power again, Li Fei met the conditions to activate Blood Demon.

From the beginning to now, he had used the limit of Blood Rage four times, consuming 52 Blood Souls.

Adding three Full Power Blood Powers, a total of 125.2 Blood Souls were used.

Just over half of the Blood Souls were depleted.

Li Fei decisively initiated the Transform Skill!

Currently in the state of ‘Overlord Body,’ his already bulky figure became even more formidable, growing taller and broader.

His skin changed from bronze to dark red, his aura growing even more fierce.

Entering the ‘Blood Demon State,’ Li Fei immediately consumed 20 Blood Souls to unleash Blood Rage!

Under the terrifying strength equivalent to 40 Blood Souls, the Ghost Slash Blade shook off the entangling sword, instantly breaking through Ximen Hui’s layered ‘Water Curtains,’ the Blade Slash aimed at the opponent’s neck.

At this moment, Ximen Hui had already recovered from the effect of Blood Power, and instead of dodging or blocking with his sword, he activated his Qi-Blood and Mind Power with all his might, his aura bursting forth.

The next second, another Blood Power hit him, this time with double strength!

However, because he had erupted with Qi-Blood and focused his mind ahead of time, the Magic did not have the full expected impact on him.

Whoosh—

The Ghost Slash Blade broke through Ximen Hui’s Protective Force and sliced open his neck, but at the critical juncture, Ximen Hui recovered, leaning back as his Soft Sword entangled the Ghost Slash Blade, hindering it from continuing downward.

He rapidly retreated, his neck nearly half severed, his throat, windpipe, and major arteries all cut open!

Another person would have been beyond saving with such an injury, but for a powerhouse with strong Life Force in the Tao Foundation Stage, such an injury was not fatal.

Ximen Hui’s sense of impending crisis had not yet dissipated.

But this time, intuition did not tell him what to do.

Until now, the outside world did not know the nature of his Core Level Extraordinary Ability, only inferring from his track record of surviving near-death situations and defeating stronger opponents that he certainly possessed a Core Level Extraordinary Ability.

Ximen Hui’s Core Level Extraordinary Ability, called ‘Spiritual Rhinoceros,’ allowed him to obtain the optimal solution in critical moments through intuition!

Previously, when Li Fei twice attempted to swap lives with him, ‘Spiritual Rhinoceros’ provided the same intuition, suggesting that he should withdraw and defend.

That was why Ximen Hui gave up on continuing the attack at the critical moments.

After Li Fei completed the Blood Demon Transformation, ‘Spiritual Rhinoceros’ once again provided Ximen Hui with the optimal solution: to activate his Qi-Blood and focus his mind.

This allowed him to block the double-strength Blood Power in time and survive Li Fei’s potentially decapitating blow.

But now, while the sense of crisis persisted, ‘Spiritual Rhinoceros’ provided no feedback.

“Could it be… there’s no solution left?!”

A despairing guess flashed across Ximen Hui’s mind.
