This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 44 - : Slaying the General

Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Slaying the General

“Ah ah ah ah!!”

A heart-wrenching scream jolted Li Fei awake from the shock of his first kill.

A man in a dark gray robe, brandishing a knife and with a ferocious expression, charged toward Li Fei.

From the information he had gathered beforehand, Li Fei knew this person was likely a senior believer of the Calming Sect, possibly skilled in magic, which made him extra cautious.

The person Li Fei had just killed seemed to have a close relationship with this attacker, so the look in the man’s eyes was filled with hatred.

Judging by the way the attacker held his knife and his explosive speed, it was clear he was trained in martial arts.

The distance between the two rapidly closed, and just as they were about to clash, the attacker threw something at Li Fei with his left hand.

Li Fei was startled and immediately retreated while ducking his head and raising his arms to shield himself.

He thought the attacker had thrown lime powder, but it turned out to be just a piece of yellow talisman paper.

As he threw the talisman paper, the man uttered strange sounds, akin to the cawing of a crow.

Following the sound, the talisman paper ignited without fire.

The next second, Li Fei felt an invisible force attacking him, and then, there was no then…

He was momentarily stunned, seeing the man’s blade slashing toward him, almost instinctively, he once again used the Rolling Thunder Style.

He swung his blade from upper right to lower left, clashing fiercely with the attacker’s knife.

Clang—

The attacker’s blade was deflected, and Li Fei immediately flipped his wrist and drew his blade back, slashing upward from lower left to upper right.

“You…”

The attacker looked at Li Fei in shock.

He couldn’t understand why his ‘Calming Talisman’ had no effect on Li Fei.

The ‘Calming Talisman’ was a fundamental talisman of the Calming Sect, designed to quickly induce sleep even in martial artists with strong willpower and abundant Qi-Blood, causing them to become drowsy and distracted, revealing their vulnerabilities.

But from Li Fei’s reaction, the Calming Talisman had no effect on him at all!

The attacker took a quick step back, leaning his body to dodge Li Fei’s upward slash, then immediately swung his blade toward Li Fei’s arm.

Then the second unexpected event occurred — Li Fei did not dodge or duck but let the blade strike his arm.

Shush—

His knife cut through Li Fei’s clothes and solidly struck his right arm.

But the sensation wasn’t like cutting flesh but rather like hitting an air-filled tire; the blade only left a shallow mark on Li Fei’s arm, not even breaking the skin.

The third surprise.

The attacker was horrified beyond measure, and the successive surprises stripped him of his last opportunity. As he hit Li Fei’s arm, Li Fei’s blade swept across his neck.

Those who had killed knew that if the carotid artery was severed, blood would spurt out, and if one stood incorrectly, they could easily get drenched in blood.

Naturally, Li Fei had no such experience, so he got splattered head-on, his face and anti-stabbing clothes smeared with blood, the intense smell of blood invading his nose, causing him to feel nauseous.

But there was no time for nausea now, as gunfire sounded nearby, and an arrow struck his abdomen, only failing to penetrate the steel of the anti-stabbing clothes.

Such was the peril of being first!

“Quick, up here!”

Lu Changwu yelled loudly.

He had also quickly dispatched someone and had joined Li Fei in temporarily clearing a safe zone on the platform.

As people started climbing the wooden wall below, Li Fei pulled out the arrow stuck in his anti-stabbing clothes and charged toward a Calming Sect believer closest to him.

The opponent held a homemade gun, having fired once and was now reloading.

This homemade gun was breech-loaded, one shot per load, making the firing rate very slow.

Seeing Li Fei charging at him, the believer immediately dropped the still being loaded gun, picked up a knife from the ground, and stabbed at Li Fei.

From the attacker’s stance, Li Fei could tell he hadn’t trained in martial arts; he deflected the knife with the back of his blade and then pressed down against the opponent’s blade with his own, pushing forward flatly.

Using the Pushing Mountain Style effortlessly, he struck the opponent’s wrist, forcing him to drop the knife, then once again, he slashed at the throat.

This time, through his experience, Li Fei promptly dodged to the side, avoiding getting blood-splattered.

As he turned to face the next opponent, he saw several people in the distance turning to flee.

“Go!”

Li Fei turned around and greeted the few people who had just reached the platform, ready to continue the killing spree to open the village gates.

Hearing his command, the others stared at him blankly, taking a moment to react.

At this moment, Li Fei’s face was smeared with blood and his black anti-stabbing clothes were stained red; his murderous aura completely overturned his usually gentle and upright image.

“Let’s go!”

Lu Changwu was the first to snap out of it; he called out and then ran towards Li Fei.

The others quickly followed suit.

There were several ladders behind the platform, but Li Fei didn’t use them—they were too slow.

With a height of over three meters, he chose to jump directly off the platform.

Lu Changwu and the rest followed suit, jumping down as well.

“Stop them!”

At this moment, not far away, a senior believer of the Calming Sect clad in a dark gray robe was leading a dozen new recruits towards them.

Fortunately, these people weren’t armed with guns but with ordinary weapons—some even wielded hoes.

Li Fei looked at the senior believer in the dark gray robe, took a deep breath, and turned to the others, saying,

“Go open the gate!”

After saying this, he charged towards the dozen people on the opposite side!

Lu Changwu hesitated for a moment upon seeing this; he didn’t charge with Li Fei, but instead turned around to open the village gates with the others.

The senior believer of the Calming Sect saw Li Fei charging alone, and a furious expression appeared on his face:

“Seeking death! Charge with me!”

He led the charge, flanked by two robust men wielding knives, moving towards Li Fei.

As they drew closer, Li Fei and the leading senior believer made almost identical movements:

With a forceful swing of his left hand, he threw something forward.

The senior believer threw a Calming Talisman, while Li Fei threw a bag of lime powder.

Whoosh—

The white lime powder scattered in the air, engulfing the three men.

The senior believer got lime powder on his face but still let out a crow-like cry.

The talisman paper spontaneously combusted in the air.

Li Fei, completely unaffected, continued his charge and swung his knife at the enemy.

“Ah!”

The senior believer screamed as he was cut down by Li Fei.

At this moment, one of the robust men who had charged with him reacted, swinging his knife towards Li Fei.

This man was only briefly obstructed by the lime powder and did not get lime in his eyes like his comrade, allowing him to promptly come to the rescue.

Li Fei gripped his knife with both hands, twisted his waist, and abruptly turned to slash horizontally to the left!

Clang—

Their knives clashed, sparking in the collision.

The robust man on the left felt a tremendous force coming at him. The knife flew out of his hand, sent flying by Li Fei’s strike, and then he was cut across half of his neck by Li Fei’s blade!

Li Fei then turned to the right, slashing down the robust man who got lime into his eyes.

Only then did he have time to look down at the senior believer in the dark gray robe on the ground.

“You…”

Pfft—

Li Fei plunged his knife into the man’s chest.

The remaining dozen men who had come with him were too frightened to advance any further.

At this moment, Lu Changwu and the others had already opened the village gate, and Lu Sheng and others at the gate witnessed this scene:

Li Fei, covered in blood, plunged his knife into a senior believer of the Calming Sect’s chest in front of a dozen enemies!
