This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

The Dark Flame Fierce Dragon Force was a high-tier force of the Fire Attribute, which required the fusion of three types of Innate Qi, including the formidable Dragon Seed Implantation's Innate Qi.

The Dragon Seed Implantation was notoriously difficult to cultivate, but once mastered, the resulting force was immensely powerful!

This person managed to master the Dark Flame Fierce Dragon Force, which made him an exceptional fighter within the Tao Foundation Stage. Even in a one-on-one battle, Shangguan Xiao was not confident in his ability to win.

Boom—

It was like an earthquake within the alley, as the ground was blasted into a large pit.

"This kid."

Shangguan Xiao displayed a worried expression.

Initially, Li Fei had proposed to take on this Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse alone, without Shangguan Xiao intervening unless a signal was given.

Now, the opponent had already used high-level force, yet Li Fei had not sent any signal.

In the alley, Li Fei leaped out of the large pit in the ground and charged again towards Zhang Shan.

At this moment, his black martial robe was thoroughly shredded, revealing the dark green protective clothing underneath.

After the previous battle, his protective clothing was already damaged in several places. Now, confronting a Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse head-on, this piece of Third Level Protective Clothing would likely be rendered useless.

However, Li Fei had gained a lot—not only absorbing a vast amount of energy but also gaining precious experience from battling Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses.

Although Shangguan Xiao was also at the Tao Foundation Stage, he couldn't truly harbor killing intent towards Li Fei, so Li Fei had volunteered to face Zhang Shan alone.

Previously when he fought Yu Hu, he was suppressed due to the vast gap in skill; sheer brute force was hardly a threat.

But with Shangguan Xiao's guidance and mastering the Geng Metal True Qi, Li Fei had greatly improved. Now facing the even stronger Zhang Shan did not seem as arduous as his initial encounter with Yu Hu.

Ao—

Another high-pitched dragon roar sounded. A dragon head formed of flames opened its maw, aiming to bite at Li Fei.

A powerful suction emerged from the dragon head, generating a fierce wind within the alley.

Moreover, an invisible pressure exerted from the dragon head was soul-captivating, magical in its effect!

This was the formidable nature of the Dark Flame Fierce Dragon Force.

But Li Fei was unaffected by the Dragon Power; he surged forward, hands wielding his blade to execute five consecutive slashes, stacking them together in an instant.

Previously, Li Fei had only been able to achieve "Triple Waves," but now he had progressed to "Five-layered Waves."

And this time, the outer layer of the blade's aura was dark gold, while the inner layer was blood-red.

This was a new technique that Li Fei had developed after his last actual combat:

Using Geng Metal True Qi as the outer shell and Blood Evil Qi filling the interior to form a force resembling yet surpassing a regular force!

Geng Metal True Qi was extremely sharp but not solid enough, akin to a brittle blade.

On the contrary, Blood Evil Qi solidified more as it consumed more Blood Souls.

However, Blood Evil Qi only proved effective against living beings and was unsuitable for colliding with other forces.

Thus, Li Fei found a way to merge the two, one as the exterior, the other as the interior.

This change seemed simple, but it required immense control power. Had Li Fei not achieved his breakthrough in the form of "Breaking Heart Barrier" and his Mind Power greatly surpassed those of the same realm, he wouldn't have succeeded so quickly.

Soon, the five-layered blade aura was swallowed by the dragon head, which was then penetrated by the dark gold glow of the Ghost Slash Blade.

The next second, a crack formed in the fiery dragon head and grew larger until it was cleaved in two!

Zap—

Li Fei was blown away again, but Zhang Shan also sported a new wound on his chest.

A highly refined Blood Evil Qi infiltrated his body, causing his face to pale as he hurriedly used the Dark Flame Fierce Dragon Force to suppress and forcefully expel the Blood Evil Qi.

But in just the blink of an eye, the muscles on his chest had already withered!

"What kind of force is this?"

Zhang Shan was both shocked and enraged, quickly activating his extraordinary ability.

Soon, a powerful Life Force was injected into his withered chest muscles, restoring them swiftly.

This was the extraordinary ability of the Wood Attribute implantation [Eternal Green]—Life Storage.

It allowed him to store healing Life Force in advance during normal days, and release it in battle to heal injuries while fighting.

In the Tao Foundation Stage, not every implanted capability from an implantation proved useful. Many serving as the foundation of Martial Arts offered rather useless extraordinary skills; their main functions served to further strengthen the body and provide Innate Qi for enhancing force.

The reason Zhang Shan was so arrogant was not only because he had mastered the challenging Dark Flame Fierce Dragon Force but also because the three implantations he had incorporated provided useful extraordinary abilities, including the powerful "Life Storage!"

"You think you can handle me with just that little skill?"

Zhang Shan, while controlling the Dark Flame Fierce Dragon Force to form Flame Armor on his body, arrogantly yelled,

"I'll turn you into a real ghost within a minute!"

"Oh."

Li Fei calmly responded with an 'oh' and then slashed a dark golden blade aura towards the sky.

He had already tested the effect of his new technique and was very satisfied, so he began summoning people.

Zhang Shan felt very dissatisfied with Li Fei's attitude and, clad in Flame Armor, charged towards him.

He instantly rushed to Li Fei's side, reaching out to grab him as a powerful suction emanated from his palm.

After using the Dark Flame Fierce Dragon Force, his speed and strength had risen to a new level!

Li Fei let the other grab his neck, he placed the Ghost Slash Blade on the ground and then firmly locked the opponent's arms with both hands.

Zhang Shan felt a foreboding sensation, tried to crush Li Fei's neck with force, but he felt like he was squeezing a solid iron column and did not break it with a single squeeze.

The next second, bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking Zhang Shan's Flame Armor.

Following that, Shangguan Xiao, carrying the sound of wind and thunder, pressed down from above, the fierce wind force like an invisible small mountain pressing on both Zhang Shan and Li Fei.

Zhang Shan raised his head, his eyes filled with murderous intent clashed with Shangguan Xiao's cold gaze. He was about to unleash Dragon Power when his mind suddenly trembled, a boundless Blood Sea appearing before his eyes.

By the time he recovered, Shangguan Xiao had already reached above his head, her palms carrying the Wind Thunder Force harshly slamming down!

Boom—

The alley shook again, the walls on both sides tumbling down.

A crater larger than before appeared on the ground!

In the crater, Li Fei still firmly bound Zhang Shan's body and then continued to use [Blood Power].

Shangguan Xiao, taking advantage of the opponent's distracted mind, rapidly struck with her palms, delivering over a dozen hits in the blink of an eye!

Zhang Shan first took several hits on his head, his Flame Helmet scattered, then he raised his unbound left hand to block, followed by a cracking sound, his left arm's bones were broken.

Seeing Shangguan Xiao's palm coming again, Zhang Shan bellowed angrily, and the Flame Armor on his body suddenly exploded!

Like a volcanic eruption, dark red magma surged from the pit, a column of fire shot up into the sky.

Both Shangguan Xiao and Li Fei were blasted out, Shangguan Xiao's protective Lan Gang Force was broken, and she herself was also injured.

She immediately turned to check on Li Fei's condition but saw that Li Fei had already completed his transformation and looked unharmed.

Li Fei, having entered the 'Blood Demon State,' walked to the side and pulled up the Ghost Slash Blade that was previously stuck in the ground.

At the same time, a golden blade aura suddenly swooped into the large pit where Zhang Shan was, slicing down the Zhang Shan who was just about to leap up!

This blade aura wasn't slashed by Li Fei.

A man, with sharpness in his brows, holding a long blade landed in the alley.

This man, named Cao Mu, was the only martial master still remaining from Xing City's Zhi Ge Court.

Following the 'Luoshan Incident,' the second batch of experts sent by the Zhi Ge Court was led by Cao Mu, and Li Fei had seen this man at that time. (See Chapter 53)

Cao Mu, a Refining Strength Martial Master at the peak of the Qi Change Stage, was a significant threat to those at the Tao Foundation Stage.

Tonight's battle wasn't just Shangguan Xiao that Li Fei had brought.

The remaining experts from Qingyuan Fist Village and Zhi Ge Court had all come!

Not only that, while Li Fei was dealing with Zhang Shan here, the Inspection Bureau's personnel had also flooded into Kaiping District, not to deal with Zhang Shan but to set up checkpoints on various streets, prepared to block the reinforcements from the Chen Family.

After taking a fierce Sword Force strike, Zhang Shan leapt out of the pit.

He first glanced at Cao Mu, who had just slashed him, then turned to Shangguan Xiao:

"A Tao Foundation strong man actually attacking from behind, why don't you fight one-on-one!"

Before Shangguan Xiao could speak, Li Fei disdainfully said,

"You think you can fight?"

"What good is it if you can fight?"

"You have to rely on power when you're out in the world!"

As his words fell, he, along with Shangguan Xiao and Cao Mu, all charged towards Zhang Shan together.
