This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 166 - 128: Severing Paths and Taking Lives_2

Zhao Yu rushed forward, intending to capture Li Fei alive.

Suddenly, an invisible fluctuation burst out from the red mist ahead, striking Zhao Yu instantly.

The spiritual power Zhao Yu had vested in his clone trembled, plunging him into a boundless sea of blood.

"Magic?!"

Zhao Yu was utterly horrified.

Being a Great Mage in the Possession Stage, his resistance to magic was naturally extremely high, and he knew how to quickly break such spells. Thus, although the magic was powerful, it was not enough to defeat him.

What was truly fatal was that at this moment, Zhao Yu only had a portion of his spiritual power invested in his clone, and this spiritual power was diminishing with each use; once it was completely depleted, his life would be over!

Thus, this magical attack was like 'true damage' to Zhao Yu, striking him with both shock and fear.

Once Zhao Yu regained his senses, a tall figure burst out from the red mist, charging at him with a strong gust of wind.

This figure was over two meters tall, its black robe shattered, revealing a dark green protective garment underneath that was stretched taut over bulging muscles. The exposed skin was dark red, and he still wore that green Evil Ghost Mask.

"Green-faced Ghost?"

Zhao Yu recalled the battle where Zhang Mingze had died, where his opponent had transformed into this same form.

However, no transformation could directly bring someone to the Tao Foundation Stage!

Zhao Yu threw a punch at the charging figure, a Red Snake coiling around his arm.

Bang!

The dark golden Ghost Slash Blade collided with Zhao Yu's fist, wrapped in Chi Lin Power.

In the next second, Zhao Yu was sent retreating backward!

"How is that possible?"

Zhao Yu stared in shock at the figure before him.

At this moment, Li Fei had naturally entered the 'Blood Demon State.'

Just now, he had endured two hits of Chi Lin Power and used a full-powered [Blood Power], consuming 16.1 Blood Souls. His total number of Blood Souls had dropped below 80, meeting the conditions to use the Transform Skill [Blood Demon].

After entering the 'Blood Demon State,' Li Fei's physical attributes surged dramatically, and 'Overlord Body' was automatically activated, further enhancing it.

Such 'base strength' was already astonishing, and the 'Blood Demon State' also doubled the power of all Blood Soul Skills!

The bodily resilience of the 'Blood Demon State' was also greatly enhanced, so the moment Li Fei entered the 'Blood Demon State,' he expended 12 more Blood Souls to use [Blood Rage] again.

The strength equivalent to 24 Blood Souls combined with the power inherent in the 'Blood Demon State' itself, and the addition of Geng Metal True Qi, enabled Li Fei to clash head-on with a Tao Foundation Stage fighter!

After repelling Zhao Yu with one strike, Li Fei stomped the stone pavement beneath his feet, shattering it and shooting out a series of dark green afterimages as he continued to slash at Zhao Yu with his blade.

Because Li Fei moved so quickly, Zhao Yu had no time to release his Chi Lin Power and could only raise his arms to block the horizontal slash of the Ghost Slash Blade.

The dark golden blade edge swept forth like a raging tide, first breaking through the Chi Lin Power coiled around his arms, then tearing through the tough outer skin, slicing through the granite-hard muscles, and finally cutting deep into the bones of his arms.

Boom—

Zhao Yu, as if hit by a speeding heavy truck, was blasted backward like a cannonball, crashing through a courtyard wall and into a mansion.

This mansion was likely the residence of a privileged person in Kaiping District, elegantly arranged with dense courtyards, small bridges, and flowing water.

However, the people there had already fled.

Li Fei quickly entered the mansion.

Following that, the earth continuously trembled, dust rose all around the premises, tree after tree was knocked down, and building after building collapsed...

It was as if two giant beasts were fighting desperately in this courtyard, soon reducing the mansion to ruins!

With a splash, a figure heavily fell into the courtyard's pond, causing a large splash and disturbing the koi fish in the pond.

It was Zhao Yu who had fallen into the pond.

Li Fei quickly followed, reaching the edge of the pond.

After exchanging blows, he realized Zhao Yu was only a facade.

He possessed the speed, strength, physical resilience, and force of a Tao Foundation Stage fighter but lacked the inner essence of martial arts.

In close combat reactions, experience, application of moves, and control over energy, Zhao Yu was even inferior to Li Fei, a martial master who had just entered the Qi Change Stage.

What rhythm could a Mage playing a wild card game bring?

The reason Zhao Yu had managed to fight Shangguan Xiao was merely due to using this clone that felt no pain and feared no injury, almost invulnerable, exploiting this body like a Fierce Warrior and a shield.

Moreover, the Chi Lin Power, reinforced twice, proved very troublesome; Shangguan Xiao dared not be hit during the group attack, hence she was particularly wary of Zhao Yu.

But all of these advantages meant nothing to Li Fei, who wasn't afraid of being hit by Chi Lin Power at all—he even countered Zhao Yu's attacks, forcing the "pseudo-Tao Foundation Stage" to continuously retreat!

"Ah—"

Zhao Yu roared as he stood up from the pool.

He couldn't accept that he was actually losing to the Green-faced Ghost, a mere martial master at the Qi Change Stage.

Such a reality shattered his dream of "dominating Datong Prefecture" instantly!

Whoosh—

Another blast of Chi Lin Power flew from Zhao Yu's hands toward Li Fei on the bank.

Li Fei slashed at the force with his blade, causing it to explode on impact!

As the crimson mist burst open, Li Fei rushed out of it and also landed in the pool.

The pool was about one and a half meters deep at its center, and thanks to his height advantage, Li Fei was more agile and could exert his strength more easily in the pool than Zhao Yu.

This was the battlefield Li Fei had specifically chosen for Zhao Yu.

In the water, the disparity in their techniques would be further amplified!

After grappling for a couple of moves, Zhao Yu also realized something was wrong. He quickly burst into an aura of Chi Lin Power, pushing the surrounding water away to form a massive vortex in the middle of the pool, then he fiercely tried to leap to the bank.

Snap!

Just as Zhao Yu leaped up, his ankle was firmly gripped by a large hand. Five fingers, thick as carrots, yanked hard.

Splash—

Zhao Yu fell back into the water.

It was Li Fei holding on through a Chi Lin Power attack just to keep him in the pool!

Before Zhao Yu could stand back up, a large hand pressed on his face, pushing him back under the water. A powerful force drove his entire body deep into the mud at the bottom of the pool.

A shock ran through Zhao Yu's heart, followed by the Ghost Slash Blade plunging into his chest!

This sparked his ferocity even in desperation. He recklessly slapped both palms against Li Fei's body, hitting him with repeated blows of Chi Lin Power.

Since he had no vital spots, losing his head or having his heart shredded wouldn't kill him!

He wanted to see if Li Fei could endure more than him!

After stabbing Zhao Yu in the chest, Li Fei didn't seize the chance to inject the Blood Slaughter Qi.

From their recent clash, he had completely understood this avatar of Zhao Yu; it was essentially a dead thing, unaffected by Blood Slaughter Qi.

So, Li Fei switched to a different mode of attack.

Within the Myriad Blood Pearl, 16 Blood Souls vanished instantly—Blood Power activated!

A strong mental assault violently struck Zhao Yu's spirit.

Under the "Blood Demon State," the power of Blood Power was doubled!

After taking such a blow, Zhao Yu's body suddenly became motionless.

His spirit, as if struck by thunder, was severely damaged!

He had never imagined that one day, he, a Great Mage in the Possession Stage, would be nearly killed by Magic.

Taking advantage of Zhao Yu's immobility, Li Fei exerted force in his right hand, slicing Zhao Yu's body in half from the chest with the Ghost Slash Blade!

After making the cut, Zhao Yu came to his senses, and his bisected body began to struggle violently.

Seeing this, Li Fei simply unleashed another Blood Power strike, consuming 8 Blood Souls.

After this Blood Power strike, the bisected body was completely motionless.

Zhao Yu's last remaining spiritual power was utterly dispersed by Li Fei.

Thus, regardless of any other plans he might have had or other avatars he might have prepared, they were now useless.

At that moment, he was wholly vanquished by Li Fei—his path severed, his life extinguished—

Reduced to ashes!
