This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 389 - 96 Refining Life, Heaven and Earth One Strike_2
Chapter 389 -96 Refining Life, Heaven and Earth One Strike_2
Yan Shijin, already a frail, elderly man, was half dead after Li Fei’s recent rough treatment. Now, after this collision, he breathed his last.
The Dao Foundation Stage powerhouses from Datong Prefecture were watching the ordeal from a distance. Everyone saw things clearly; although Yan Shijin didn’t die directly at Xu Jing’s hands, his death was related to him.
After today, Xu Jing had utterly broken ties with Datong Prefecture. It would be impossible to expect a word in his defense from them—they would only kick him while he was down.
So Xu Jing had no choice but to carry the blame!
Xu Jing glared at Li Fei as he retreated, feeling for the first time in his life—a feeling not even precipitated by Hao Yi—that he wanted someone dead so badly!
Before he could take action, a swath of black water behind him was shattered by a flash of sword light.
Hao Yi broke through the black water, condensing the Heaven and Earth Furnace Force into a radiant blade slash aimed at Xu Jing.
“Go protect her!”
At the same time, Hao Yi’s voice reached Li Fei’s ears.
It was a voice transmission formed by the vibration of air using Force.
Without hesitation, Li Fei trusted Hao Yi’s word and immediately turned to rush towards Shangguan Xiao at Xingtai.
Xu Jing conjured a wave of black water behind him to block the blade radiance sliced by Hao Yi.
The Black Water Divine Power could defend as well as attack and belonged to the same level as the Refining Objects Divine Power.
Seeing Li Fei rush towards Shangguan Xiao, Xu Jing revealed a hideous smile:
“Then I’ll let you watch her die!”
He had already determined that he would defeat Hao Yi, clearing the gloom in his heart, so he no longer cared about Shangguan Xiao’s life or death.
First let Shangguan Xiao die in front of Hao Yi, then make Hao Yi die in agony—Xu Jing thought this ending rather fitting.
He stretched out his hand toward Shangguan Xiao, lying in the distance on the ground, and deployed the Water Control Divine Power!
Not to mention Shangguan Xiao had no power to resist at this moment; even at her peak, she would’ve been instantly killed by such an attack!
Li Fei watched the scene unfold, his eyes almost splitting in anger and helplessness.
He could save his own life under the Water Control Divine Power but couldn’t protect anyone else.
Whoosh—
A blade light slashed between Xu Jing and Shangguan Xiao.
A dark line appeared on the plaza floor, beneath which marble, soil, and broken stones all turned to dust, bottomless to the eye!
In an instant, this dark line spread to the end of the plaza, almost spanning the entire space.
The plaza had been split in two!
That single slash seemed able to sever rivers, split mountains, and cut the heavens and earth in half!
Even the space itself twisted because of the slash.
Xu Jing’s Water Control Divine Power was also severed!
“Hmm?”
He swiftly turned to look behind at Hao Yi, his face filled with astonishment.
Such power shouldn’t belong to one who had just entered the Martial Arts Master Realm.
“Refining Life?”
Xu Jing had a suspicion.
Refining Objects Divine Power could refine anything; years ago, Hao Yi could exchange his life span for time, and now he could surely use his life span to trade for other things.
For instance—power!
Years ago, Hao Yi bartered 40 years of his lifespan to preserve Breakthrough power for the same amount of time, and he unraveled that power from his weapon three years early.
The principle of Refining Objects Divine Power demands an absolutely fair exchange. Thus, when Hao Yi retrieved his power, three years of his life span were also returned to him.
Just now, he transformed those three years of lifespan into power, slashing out in a timely manner to save Shangguan Xiao.
A frightened look flashed in Xu Jing’s eyes.
If Hao Yi hadn’t saved someone and chose to strike at him while he was distracted, he might have been gravely wounded!
Xu Jing immediately surrounded himself with black water, focusing all his attention on Hao Yi:
“I’d like to see how many more times you can make such moves?”
“One is enough.”
Hao Yi stated calmly.
It seemed he had already made some kind of decision.
“Big talk!”
Xu Jing huffed coldly, unleashing his Water Control Divine Power at full strength and directing it towards Hao Yi.
If Hao Yi attacked with all his might, his defenses would inevitably fall, leaving an opening for Xu Jing to exploit.
Whoosh—
Hao Yi gestured with one hand, and the sword he had discarded before flew back to his grasp.
He glanced over at Li Fei for a moment.
At that moment, Li Fei had already rushed to Shangguan Xiao’s side, helped her to her feet, and then used Force to envelop them both in a protective circle.
The reason Li Fei didn’t immediately flee with Shangguan Xiao was that neither the Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses of Datong Prefecture nor Wen Ke and Guan Haixuan, brought by Xu Jing, would possibly allow Li Fei to just walk away with her.
Although Li Fei was strong, facing the blockade of so many Tao Foundation Stage experts, he could ensure his own survival, but not necessarily Shangguan Xiao’s.
The moment a clash would occur, the embarrassment Xu Jing had just experienced, Li Fei would immediately feel.
Hao Yi took a deep breath and withdrew his gaze.
He held his saber horizontally, with the surging Heaven and Earth Furnace Force circling around him, transforming him once again into a small ‘sun’.
Xu Jing’s expression turned grave, on one hand, he exerted Full Power to attack Hao Yi with his Water Control Divine Power, while on the other, he used Full Power to protect himself with Black Water Divine Power, ready to face Hao Yi’s desperate strike.
The next second, all the light converged on the saber in Hao Yi’s hand, as if he had stuffed a sun into the blade!
Then he nonchalantly swung his saber down.
The next second, everyone on the square felt as though they were immersed in a sea of fire.
The world seemed to have become a furnace, in which grass, insects, fish, mountains, rivers, powerful Exotic Beasts, and highly skilled Martial Artists, everything, was being refined in this furnace! freeweɓnovēl.coɱ
Heaven and earth served as the furnace, Creation as the craftsman.
In the sky, a massive black shadow appeared, and this shadow was rapidly expanding, resembling a black sun!
This was Xu Jing invoking his Cloud Soaring Divine Power to fly up into the sky the first moment he could, using his Black Water Divine Power to protect himself while also devouring the power of this flaming world, swallowing Hao Yi’s Tao Power.
He sought to distance himself from Hao Yi, trying to diminish the power of Hao Yi’s desperate strike as much as possible.
Li Fei understood why Hao Yi had asked him to protect Shangguan Xiao first.
Because the power of this strike was too incredibly strong, even Hao Yi himself couldn’t control it and couldn’t guarantee it wouldn’t inadventantly harm Shangguan Xiao!
It was just an Opening Move, and the whole square was enveloped in Sword Intent.
Ordinary people and even Tao Foundation Stage experts all fell into an Illusion Realm.
Li Fei, not caring about possibly revealing his identity, immediately displayed the “Red Sound Fire Vajra Phase”.
He had the Myriad Blood Pearl with him, so he did not worry about getting hurt, but Shangguan Xiao was too fragile.
Unlike the previous two times, this time Li Fei externalized the skill—
A Vajra Dharma Form with bulging furious eyes appeared amidst this flaming world.
Normally, when the Red Sound Fire Vajra Phase is externalized, the Dharma Form should at least be ten meters tall and accompanied by the Heavenly Dragon Guardian and the sound of chanting.
But under the influence of Hao Yi’s Sword Intent, Li Fei could only use Tao Power to conjure a two-meter-tall Vajra Dharma Form, barely protecting himself and Shangguan Xiao within it, while strands of Vajra Force twirled around them like flowing water.
At the edge of the square, a barrier of colorful glazed light protected all the officials within it.
This was the work of three Possession Stage Great Mages from the Righteous Law General Institute; otherwise, Datong Prefecture might have suffered the greatest tragedy in its history today!
Meanwhile, Chu Po and the other Tao Foundation Stage warriors also took care of themselves, and no one noticed the situation on Li Fei’s side.
As for Xu Jing, as soon as Hao Yi began his attack, he focused all his attention on Hao Yi, with no spare capacity to notice others.
The only person who took notice of Li Fei was because he had to watch for Shangguan Xiao’s safety.
“Vajra Eight Parts? Red Sound Fire Vajra Phase?”
Hao Yi showed a surprised expression.
Li Fei had told him that one of the Vajra Eight Parts he learned at Wuda was the “Red Sound Fire Vajra Skill”.
“Could it be…”
Hao Yi’s mind raced with surprise and confusion.
In the end, all those feelings transformed into understanding and relief.
A smile surfaced on his face.
“Watch this strike closely.”
Hao Yi’s voice resonated in Li Fei’s ears once again.
He was startled and instinctively concentrated to watch.
He saw everything in this world of fire quickly being refined, converging into a single line.
All things turned to ash!
Everything between heaven and earth was refined, and eventually, even heaven and earth itself was refined!
Heaven and earth with all within, were refined together, becoming a single line.
That line was a saber.
Heaven and Earth One Strike!
While the process appeared complex, it all happened in an instant, from Hao Yi’s Opening Move to his drawing everything in heaven and earth into one line.
Li Fei could no longer use his eyes to directly view this strike, he could only rely on his strong perception to ‘see’.
Then he ‘saw’ that line slashing towards the black sun in the sky.
In that instant, the entire world was silent, with unimaginable terrifying force colliding.
Soon, the huge black sun in the sky was cleaved open!
