This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 406: Chapter 104 Severing Ties

Under the night sky, Li Fei stood with saber in hand, his feet next to the corpse of Guan Haixuan.

Wen Ke swept a calm glance at Guan Haixuan on the ground, and her eyes once again revealed an extreme killing intent!

Not long after she incorporated the first Implant, she experienced a loss of control due to her beastly nature.

The beastly nature hidden within the Implant stemmed from Exotic Beasts, primal and bloody. Once their bestial nature overpowered their humanity, the Martial Artist would lose complete control and become a beast filled with the desire to kill!

These out-of-control Martial Artists were even more dangerous than those who had fallen into the Demon Path, for they possessed no rationality at all, impossible to communicate with, only to be killed.

With a history spanning thousands of years, the practice of Martial Arts was initially very primitive. Martial Artists could only resign themselves to fate, with low survival rates and a high risk of losing control.

Later on, as Martial Arts matured with the development of the practice, the technology of making Implants improved, and a plethora of Elixirs emerged, making the risk of Martial Artists losing control before the Tao Foundation Stage very low.

The reason for Wen Ke’s loss of control was inherent flaws; her constitution was unsuitable for Martial Arts, but she insisted on practicing stubbornly.

The small city she was in had no means to resolve the loss of control caused by Implants. After enduring agonizing pain for an extended period, her human nature had finally been suppressed by her bestial nature.

Her fate should have been a merciless death.

Coincidentally, Xu Jing was passing by at that time and encountered the out-of-control Wen Ke, intervening to save her.

“Do you know what’s the biggest difference between human and beast when it comes to killing?”

This was the first question Xu Jing asked Wen Ke after saving her.

“…Humans use tools?”

Wen Ke answered.

Xu Jing shook his head and smiled, saying,

“The biggest difference is: humans are far more adept at slaughtering their own kind than beasts!”

“…”

“You have a good talent, why don’t you learn to kill with me.”

“…Okay.”

So from that day on, Wen Ke became a student of Xu Jing.

Xu Jing once said when he took Li Fei to challenge the mountain gate that the Slaughter Heart within Wen Ke was taught by him.

It was precisely because Wen Ke had realized the Slaughter Heart under his guidance, that she could overcome her inherent flaws and not be suppressed by the bestial nature.

However, during battle, the beastliness of the Implant would still explode, transforming her into a state filled with the desire to kill.

Previously, Wen Ke was driven into battle by this killing intent; but after comprehending the Slaughter Heart, this killing intent became the ‘saber’ in her hand, perfectly controlled and employed to boost her combat strength!

Li Fei and Wen Ke locked gazes, their eyes full of killing intent, and a ripple stirred in his otherwise undisturbed Heart Realm.

“Let’s go together!”

Atop the carriage, Liu Yan called out and, holding an iron spear, leapt out to stand beside Wen Ke.

Song Tiansen hesitated for a moment but also jumped down from the top of the carriage to Wen Ke’s other side.

In the current situation, there was no concern left for the safety of the officials inside the carriage.

If they didn’t unite to deal with Li Fei first, everyone else would perish!

“Fortunately, he has been severely injured by Mr. Guan; he shouldn’t last much longer, right?”

Song Tiansen thought while looking at the piercing wound on Li Fei’s right chest.

“Mr. Wen, please restrain him as you did before. Mr. Song and I will join forces to attack him.”

Liu Yan said in a deep voice.

As his words fell, Wen Ke’s fingers flicked rapidly, casting a series of phantoms and then thousands of dark golden streamers intertwined, binding towards Li Fei.

Boom—

The gale roared like a tiger, sweeping over the hillside.

Liu Yan moved with the wind and rushed to Li Fei at extreme speed. The spear in his hand jabbed swiftly, piercing dozens of times in an instant, the spear shadows completely enveloping Li Fei’s upper body.

For each jab, a massive fireball exploded, forming a cloud of fire.

Liu Yan was at the Fourth Tier of Tao Foundation Stage, practicing Gale and Intense Fire Power, a high-order Force with both wind and fire attributes.

At the moment, he covered his true killing move with the fire cloud, ready to concentrate his power for the strongest spear thrust.

Swipe—

The next second, the fire cloud was split by a flash of saber light. Li Fei, enveloped in resplendent golden light, once again forcibly broke free from Wen Ke’s Extreme Yang Rainbow Shadow Power, and the surrounding flames failed to penetrate his Protective Force.

“Vajra Force?”

Liu Yan recognized the Force Li Fei was using, surprised that Li Fei possessed two types of Force.

With no time to think more, he thrust his spear out, colliding with Li Fei’s incoming saber light.

At the moment of collision, Liu Yan detonated the Gale and Intense Fire Power attached to his spear with the intention to scatter Li Fei’s long saber.

However, a spiral force suddenly surged from the saber, sweeping away most of his exploded Force, then the saber vibrated at a high frequency, steadily cutting through the ‘barrier’ in front, landing a slice just behind the spear’s tip.

Clang—

An explosive force akin to thunder violently pushed Liu Yan’s spear aside.

Li Fei advanced, swinging his saber, continuing to slash towards Liu Yan’s body.

“Excellent saber technique!”

Liu Yan praised in his mind. Suddenly, a gale wailed beneath his feet, and then twin fire Power bursts, propelling his body to dodge sharply to the side.

Li Fei seemed to have anticipated this move, changing his saber strike in advance. He turned and swept sideways towards Liu Yan.

Smack—

Liu Yan’s feet detonated Force a second time, driving his body through a complex change in direction.

This was the characteristic of Gale and Intense Fire Power, possessing both adaptability and explosiveness, giving Liu Yan the capability of multiple directional shifts.

Li Fei’s saber cleaved through a phantom, adjusted his aim, and once again slashed towards Liu Yan.

Suddenly, the ground beneath exploded, a wall of earth stood up out of nowhere, blocking in front of Liu Yan.

Not only that, Wen Ke controlled thousands of dark golden streamers to weave into several large ‘nets’, also blocking ahead of Liu Yan.
