Chapter 644: Chapter 136: Heart Mirror

On the flat ground, Yan Dongchen, who had just broken through to become a Martial Arts Master, faced Li Fei, who had taken off his Divine Clothes, holding a spear.

Yan Dongchen did not rush to attack with his spear.

Having just broken through, he needed to first familiarize himself with the enhanced force, mind power, and Qi-blood.

Of course, the most important thing was to get used to the newly acquired Divine Skills!

Li Fei was also in no hurry and did not urge Yan Dongchen.

A dozen seconds later, the spear in Yan Dongchen’s hand emitted a humming sound, like a deep dragon’s chant.

Everyone present felt invigorated, knowing that Yan Dongchen was about to make his move.

Unlike the spear thrust towards Shen Tuyue earlier, there were no dark shadows, and Yan Dongchen’s presence did not disappear.

With a single-handed grip on the spear, he casually thrust it forward, aiming at Li Fei from a distance.

Li Fei stepped forward as Yan Dongchen raised his spear, his body swelling, entering the ‘Blood Demon State.’

The two extraordinary abilities ‘Overlord Body’ and ‘Jade Bone’ were activated simultaneously, recreating the Golden Body Jade Marrow.

Dazzling golden light enveloped Li Fei’s body, instantly forming armor engraved with the sun, moon, and stars.

When Li Fei completed all this, Yan Dongchen’s spear arrived just in time.

The distance between them was over ten meters, but the unparalleled Gun Force and annihilating Gun Intent had completely filled this space, leaving no gaps!

The world before Li Fei’s eyes changed accordingly:

A desolate world, dilapidated buildings, a ground covered with cracks, black smoke continuously pouring out of them.

The air was filled with the scent of blood, the cold wind biting.

It was as if an apocalyptic, suffocating horror descended from the sky. Li Fei looked up and saw a massive Black Dragon casting its chilling gaze upon the world below.

The enormous eyes were like the sun and moon hanging in the sky. Just a glance was enough to shatter the heart and spirit of ordinary Dao Foundation Stage Martial Artists!

Li Fei calmly gazed at the Black Dragon in the sky, tugging at the corners of his mouth:

“Pretty intimidating.”

These words seemed to anger the Black Dragon in the sky, and with a dragon chant echoing through the world, the Black Dragon swooped down from the sky!

Whhooosh——

Hurricanes roared, the ground filled with towering tornadoes connecting the heavens and the earth.

The ground, like shattered porcelain, saw its cracks increase and widen.

With the Black Dragon’s descent from the sky, Li Fei lost sight of the sky, his eyes seeing only endless black dragon scales.

The pressure and killing intent grew stronger, even the Calamity Relief Vajra Method Dharma Form that Li Fei had visualized had already shattered.

Yet Li Fei remained calmly standing, his eyes clear.

This pure mental shock did not pose any threat to him.

Finally, the World-Destroying Dragon fully descended from the sky to the human world.

And then heaven and earth collapsed!

As the mental world crumbled, in the real world, the spear force thrust by Yan Dongchen from a distance also shattered the Mixed Element Star Armor on Li Fei’s body, breaking through his Golden Body Jade Marrow, and then… nothing followed.

Yan Dongchen showed a surprised expression; the Divine Skill he had developed was called [Annihilation], an absolutely lethal Divine Skill!

Unlike Blood Evil Qi, which only targets living entities, the [Annihilation] Divine Skill targets both energy bodies and living creatures.

Unless countered with defense-type Divine Skills, or slightly resisted with Xuanjing Level Tao Power, all defenses in front of the [Annihilation] Divine Skill are like paper!

This means that anyone below a Martial Arts Master, Yan Dongchen could kill with just one spear thrust.

Even against a Martial Arts Master, as long as they do not possess defense-type Divine Skills, Yan Dongchen could at least have a chance to swap lives with them!

But this type of Divine Skill seemed ineffective on Li Fei.

Whether it was the Divine Power or Tao Power, upon hitting Li Fei, it was as if it struck a black hole, all forces vanished instantly.

If it weren’t for being certain that Li Fei had not yet constructed a Tao Foundation, Yan Dongchen would have suspected that the other had cultivated some kind of defense-type Divine Skill?

Yan Dongchen, with a complex expression, withdrew his spear, not continuing to attack.

He had his pride as well; as a Martial Arts Master challenging a Dao Foundation Stage, a full-powered spear returned fruitless, he had already lost face to launch a second spear.

“Yan admits defeat.”

Yan Dongchen said expressionlessly.

Only then did many realize that the duel between the two had ended.

In the eyes of others, they only saw Yan Dongchen thrust his spear at Li Fei from a distance, Li Fei’s golden armor shattered, his clothes ripped open a hole.

And then the duel was over.

Some even doubted whether Yan Dongchen deliberately held back?

But the terrifying power released by the [Annihilation] Divine Skill earlier was not false, and a Martial Arts Master saying ‘admits defeat’ to a Dao Foundation Stage Martial Artist.

Even if to save face for Marquis Jing’an, it shouldn’t be this way, right?

“Managed to block it?”

Zhou Yan was dumbfounded.

He was just lamenting having no opportunity to verify whether Li Fei could withstand Yan Dongchen’s Tao Foundation Realm’s deathblow spear, and now the result clearly lay before him:

No verification needed at all. Not to mention the Tao Foundation Stage, even as a Martial Arts Master, Li Fei could still block it!

Lan Ruoyun glanced at the spot on Li Fei where the spear struck, the wound was small and had already stopped bleeding.

She suddenly felt at ease, thinking she had indeed not lost unjustly back then.

Looking at Shen Tuyue in red, Lan Ruoyun somewhat understood why the other said the phrase ‘dare not contend with you.’

“No more fighting?”

Li Fei was somewhat regretful.

He ‘looked’ at the Myriad Blood Pearl within his body; blocking that spear just now, the Myriad Blood Pearl consumed 158 Blood Souls!

This was the highest single damage Li Fei had encountered so far.

Currently, Li Fei’s Blood Spring held a total of 2384 Blood Souls. Given Yan Dongchen’s killing power, if Li Fei did not wear the Golden Silk Jade Qilin Armor, the opponent would need only 22 spear thrusts to kill him!

However, Li Fei learned from Shi Caiming that different divine skills consume different amounts of divine power, which originates from the Martial Arts Foundation.

For a newly ascended Martial Arts Master like Yan Dongchen, the divine power won’t be too plentiful.

His divine skill is so powerful that each use surely consumes a lot of divine power.

Thus, Li Fei thought that an attack like the one just now might not be something Yan Dongchen could perform even twenty times in a row.

The more Blood Souls absorbed, the more energy value the Myriad Blood Pearl gains, increasing by 8% in an instant.

After the Myriad Blood Pearl reached level 28, Li Fei, relying on consuming poison, could increase the energy value by only 1% every three days on average.

This means that, without fighting others, Li Fei would need close to a year to raise one level, and this is assuming that the new version of poison resistance hasn’t been increased.

Relying on consuming poison, the efficiency of leveling up has become very low.

Therefore, Li Fei now cherishes every opportunity to spar with Martial Arts Masters.

By taking one strike from Yan Dongchen, he saved nearly a month’s time.

“After Marquis Jing’an achieves a breakthrough, Yan will come again for guidance.”

Yan Dongchen said to Li Fei with cupped fists.

As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura suddenly came from afar.

All the strong individuals present sensed it, even if they were separated by dozens of kilometers, they could still feel the sharp Sword Intent.

“Is this… Tao Power?”

“Tao Power of such a magnitude…”

“Xuanjing?”

A series of thoughts flashed through everyone’s minds.

In Tianshui City, who could unleash Xuanjing-level Tao Power?

Even Yan Dongchen, who had just broken through to become a Martial Arts Master, couldn’t do it.

…

In the mansion where Zhu Fenghua was located, after he displayed Xuanjing-level Tao Power, the illusion barrier set by Zhu San was directly broken.

To display Xuanjing-level Tao Power with a cultivation at the Tao Foundation Stage is indeed a miracle!

“Is this what Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts is?”

In the Sword Qi Heaven and Earth, You Ming perceived everything around and sighed.

Zhu Fenghua controlled three Flying Swords to set up a Sword Array and then, combined with Tao Power, used the method of Magic and Martial Unity to push the Tao Power to the Xuanjing level.

The Ruyi Realm can seamlessly link Tao Power, achieving it in one go without needing Qi Exchange.

While in the Mystic Realm, the Tao Power seems to form a small heaven and earth!

Usually, only a Great Grandmaster can possess this level of Tao Power, because a Great Grandmaster has a Martial Arts Domain that can ‘reverse-push’ the Xuanjing Tao Power with the aid of the Martial Arts Domain.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Zhu Fenghua’s Tao Power at this moment has already reached the level of a Grandmaster in terms of power.

Nonetheless, this is enough to pose a threat to You Ming.

The Netherworld Sky was broken, Zhu Fenghua lifted all restrictions, and with a thought, a Sword Qi storm formed in this heaven and earth, whirling toward You Ming to annihilate him!

You Ming did not use the Heart Sword to attack Zhu Fenghua, nor did he utilize Tao Power to defend, appearing as if he had given up resistance.

When the Heart Sword couldn’t take effect and the Netherworld Sky was broken, he really seemed to have nothing to counter Zhu Fenghua.

But just as the Sword Qi storm was about to touch his body, strands of Sword Qi generated out of thin air, canceling each other out with the incoming Sword Qi.

The amount of Sword Qi increased, forming a Sword Qi tornado around You Ming, reaching the sky and linking to the earth!

“Hmm?”

Zhu Fenghua showed a look of surprise, as the Sword Qi that You Ming was controlling at this moment was identical to his in terms of quantity, power, technique, and Sword Intent!

But this wasn’t the end; the Sword Qi tornado began rapidly expanding outward, forming a Sword Qi Heaven and Earth.

You Ming also employed Xuanjing-level Tao Power, identical to Zhu Fenghua’s!

Ultimately, the two Sword Qi Heavens and Earths clashed, neutralizing each other, each occupying half of the mansion’s area.

Equally matched.

“Are you surprised?”

You Ming spread his hands in his own Sword Qi Heaven and Earth.

This is his second divine skill — Heart Mirror!

Back when he fought Li Fei, he ultimately unleashed physical power just as formidable as Li Fei’s, thanks to this divine skill.

My heart is like a mirror, reflecting everything.

As long as it is reflected by the Heart Mirror, You Ming can reproduce it precisely in a short time!

Whether it be the physical strength comparable to Exotic Beasts, or the Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts which he had never dabbled in, or even other people’s divine skills!

This is You Ming’s second divine skill and his most powerful trump card.

If it wasn’t for Chi Chengyu about to arrive, he wouldn’t have retreated before Li Fei at all.

Neither Li Fei nor Zhu Fenghua had ever seemed like opponents to him.

“Simulation? Duplication?”

Zhu Fenghua knew divine skills were very mysterious powers that fundamentally defied common sense, so he quickly accepted this reality and stabilized his heart and spirit.

“Do you think that even if I can completely replicate your strongest means, it might not be enough to defeat you?”

You Ming’s voice resonated within the two heavens and earths.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhu Fenghua’s heart and spirit encountered the attack of the Heart Sword, forcing him to divert some power to deploy defensive Tao Power and Magic to resist.

As soon as he did, the equilibrium between the two equally matched Sword Qi heavens and earths was instantly disrupted.

You Ming’s Sword Qi Heaven and Earth began to erode toward Zhu Fenghua’s side!

By using the Heart Mirror to replicate your strongest means, and then attacking you with the Heart Sword, you are forced to disperse your power to defend.

How will you defeat me?
