This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 165 - 128: Severing Tao and Extinguishing Life
"I'm going to kill him!"
As Li Fei charged toward them, Zhao Yu volunteered.
He then swiftly maneuvered his Tao Foundation clone towards Li Fei.

"Be careful!"
Shangguan Xiao couldn't help but warn.
This was different from her usual sparring with Li Fei; this was a fight to the death, where no one would hold back!
Whoosh—
A wave of ice and snow swept in, forcing Shangguan Xiao to retreat.
"Better worry about yourself!"
Yu Hu said coldly.
Meanwhile, Yan Yichen took the opportunity to slash another wound on Shangguan Xiao!
The hallmark of Cold Evil Snow Flakes was its ability to accumulate coldness, like snow piling up. Once the 'Accumulated Snow' built up, anyone hit by its force would gradually lose their mobility.
Having exchanged blows for a while, Shangguan Xiao had already accumulated some internal coldness, which was why her movements became sluggish, and Yan Yichen kept finding chances to wound her again.
Now with Zhao Yu gone, the pressure on her had significantly lessened, but if the fight carried on this way, defeat was still inevitable!
Shangguan Xiao was secretly anxious but declared forcefully,
"Fine! Even if I die today, I will make sure to take one of you with me!"
This statement made both Yu Hu and Yan Yichen wary.
Although they were working together, their alliance was superficial, each with their own ulterior motives, so they were genuinely concerned about being dragged down by Shangguan Xiao.
Thus, they both secretly held back some strength, ready to defend themselves or escape at any moment.
On the other front, when Zhao Yu was about ten meters away from Li Fei, he unleashed a wave of Chi Lin Power.
A seven to eight meters long Red Snake roared as it shot toward Li Fei like an arrow, aiming to bite him.
Li Fei leaped to one side, dodging the Red Snake, but as it passed by him, it suddenly turned in mid-air, whipped its tail, and arced back to pounce on Li Fei again!
Sensing the danger behind him, Li Fei reacted in advance, turning around to chop down with his blade.
A dark-gold blade light collided fiercely with the Red Snake!
The next second, Li Fei was sent flying backward, using the impact to fly towards Zhao Yu.
Having learned from Shangguan Xiao, Li Fei had become quite sensitive to force. Through this collision, he perceived three different types of Innate Qi within the Chi Lin Power.
The mix of three Innate Qis was already the threshold for most advanced forces, but what Zhao Yu unleashed was still the Chi Lin Power, just infused with two more attributes, significantly enhancing its potency.
Despite the power boost brought by the eleven Blood Souls of Blood Rage and the added strength of Geng Metal True Qi, Li Fei was still overwhelmed in a direct clash.
The gulf between the Qi Change Stage and Tao Foundation Stage was not so easily bridged!
Zhao Yu, aiming at the incoming Li Fei, launched another Chi Lin Power.
The earlier Chi Lin Power had not yet dissipated and still pressed on towards Li Fei.
Now, Li Fei was sandwiched between two Chi Lin Powers, one ahead and one behind!
Li Fei spun around and slashed full power at the Red Snake behind him, sending three dark-gold blade lights almost stacked upon each other crashing down on the serpent.
This 'Stacked Wave Style' technique of attacking, though common and derived from Shangguan Xiao, proved to be highly effective. The purity and sharpness of Geng Metal True Qi, when applied to the 'Stacked Wave Style', required no fancy variations but sheer successive, penetrating assaults, breaking through defenses wave after wave!
The three dark-gold blade lights created a crack in the head of the Red Snake, dissipating much of the force concentrated in it.
Finally, Li Fei unleashed Ghost Slash with a ferocious chop.
Boom! Boom!
Two muffled thunderous explosions occurred as the two Chi Lin Powers burst open in succession—one was blown apart by Li Fei's Ghost Slash, and the other exploded on his back.
A red haze spread, completely enveloping Li Fei's figure.
Zhao Yu sneered at the sight.
His Tao Foundation clone housed three different Implants: one was the Fire Attribute Implant [Red Qilin] belonging to the original host, Wang Ping; another was Zhao Yu's Dark Attribute Implant [Corpse Cluster]; and the last one was the Wood Attribute Implant [Grass Travel Feet] forcibly taken from another martial master.
Initially, Zhao Yu had taken four martial masters with him, two of whom he had used to create two Devilish Martial Masters, leaving Wang Ping and another martial master to craft his own clones.
[Red Qilin] + [Corpse Cluster] + [Grass Travel Feet], there was no such combination of Martial Arts Foundations in the world; in fact, there was no Martial Arts Foundation containing [Corpse Cluster], which is why Zhao Yu's clone could only reach the Tao Foundation Stage, never truly mastering the Martial Arts Foundation to enter the upper echelons.
However, while his progression halted, his clone's strength could still be enhanced. Zhao Yu used [Corpse Cluster] to fortify the clone's physique, infusing Innate Qi from [Corpse Cluster] into the Chi Lin Power, adding corrosive and toxic properties to it. Lastly, leveraging the principle of Wood nurturing Fire from the Five Elements, he used [Grass Travel Feet]'s Wood Attribute Innate Qi to further enhance Chi Lin Power.
Thus, even if his Chi Lin Power was not a high-tier force, its potency still far surpassed most elementary forces.
At this moment, seeing Li Fei hit by his two strikes of Chi Lin Power, Zhao Yu immediately felt the match was decided.
Chi Lin Power had the innate trait of igniting others' Innate Qi, like a festering wound on the bone.
Once struck, the victim would either consume a vast amount of Innate Qi or have their Implant completely destroyed!
After integrating Innate Qi from [Corpse Cluster], Zhao Yu's Chi Lin Power gained corrosive and toxic traits. Once hit, even Tao Foundation Stage experts would find it troublesome.
