This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 638 Kill one person and the world will be at peace

"Back then, in the case of the Longevity Pill, Headmaster Qingxu wanted to kill me to lull the Great Lan Dynasty into a false sense of security and temporarily quell the situation."

Qingding recounted his past experiences to Taiyu.

He managed to retain a wisp of his true soul and hid inside the pill box. Later, when Li Fei brought the Dream Token to the Great Luo Sect, he was instinctively drawn to this unclaimed True One Magic Artifact and hid inside, thus preserving a sliver of life.
"And so, I stayed by Li Fei's side. He saved my life, and my experience was of some use to him."

Qingding finished recounting his experience.

Although the story was very bizarre, after hearing his account, Taiyu basically believed in his identity.

Because Qingding recounted many details involving Qingxu and the Daluo Sect, details that no one else could possibly know.

"Why didn't you think of having Li Fei send you back to your sect sooner?"

Taiyu remained silent for a moment before asking.

A hint of sadness crept into Qingding's voice:
“Uncle-Master Taiyu, in this state, this is how my life will be. A wisp of remnant soul, barely clinging to life, what good will it do to return to the sect? It’s better to stay by Li Fei’s side; perhaps I can still be of some use.”

"."

Even though Yu the Great had experienced many hardships and possessed a resolute will, he couldn't help but feel emotional upon hearing these words.

Because he truly understood what Qingding meant.

The so-called role played doesn't mean doing anything for Li Fei, but rather helping the Great Luo Sect!

Qingding had long seen that Li Fei had a bright future and realized that he would become an important figure in the Great Blue Dynasty.

Therefore, his continued presence by Li Fei's side, and his efforts to strengthen his relationship with Li Fei, were tantamount to repairing the relationship between the Great Luo Sect and the Great Blue Dynasty!
However, Qingding, who was originally the number one alchemist in the world and had a bright future, is now just a wisp of a soul clinging to life.

All of this was caused by the sect!
Even after being murdered like this, Qingding still wanted to do something for the Great Luo Sect.

How could this not move Taiyu?

".Thanks a lot."

Taiyu remained silent for a long time before finally uttering only these words.

What else can we say?

To someone who is now just a remnant of their soul, how can you promise to make it up to them in the future?

Given Qingding's current state, there's only one path left: slowly dissipating into nothingness. Rebuilding, reincarnation, possession—no means will be of any use.

“Uncle-Master, this time it was Ye Ze’an, the chief minister of the Great Blue Dynasty, who suggested that I hide on Chagan Bayar to see you. I also wanted to do it myself.”

Qingding said.

He learned the Nightmare Sect's techniques from Li Fei, and through the 'Dream Realm,' he used his true soul to infiltrate the surface of Chaganbayar's subconscious without the other party noticing.

Ye Ze'an did this for two reasons: first, to test Chagan Bayar's identity, and second, to get Qingding to persuade Taiyu.

They first set a trap to ruin the Buddhist's plan, greatly reducing the effectiveness of their attempt to win them over.

Then, let Li Fei personally meet with Tai Yu to show his sincerity.

Finally, Qing Ding appeared.

Use force, reason, and emotion to persuade them!
If Qingding had used this move too early, the Great Blue Dynasty would still be besieged and surrounded by enemies, and it would be impossible for the Great Luo Sect to be persuaded at any time.

It is just right to use it at this time.

In order to win over the Great Luo Sect for the Great Blue Dynasty, Ye Ze'an used every means at his disposal.

Taiyu: "You also want to persuade me to help the Great Blue Dynasty?"

Qingding: "Uncle-Master, although Li Fei is now comparable to a top-tier expert, I followed him when he was still in the Foundation Establishment stage. Over the years, as he has grown, I have guided him a lot and helped him a great deal."

Li Fei is a man of great loyalty and affection; he will remember these favors!

The bond between Qingding and Li Fei was genuine, and his presence did indeed provide room for reconciliation between the Great Luo Sect and the Great Blue Dynasty.

Taiyu sighed, "I'm afraid that under the circumstances, Li Fei alone can hardly change anything."

If the Western Kingdom is destroyed, the Great Blue Dynasty will have no rivals in the Eastern Continent, and there will be no need to keep the Daoist school to check anyone.

Will they really be able to accommodate a Great Luo Sect that has a blood feud with the Great Blue Dynasty?
Qingding said somewhat anxiously:
"Uncle-Master, even if the Great Blue Dynasty can sweep across the world in the future, think about who it mainly relies on? If the Great Blue Dynasty wants to completely destroy the Daoist school, it will not only have to deal with you, but also with True Monarch Xuanxin and even True Monarch Wuhui!"
"If Li Fei doesn't put in the effort, can the Great Blue Dynasty even manage it?"

Taiyu did not think so:

"If the Great Blue Dynasty has no external enemies, it can mobilize three of the four Imperial Guards, with Wenren Zheng personally leading the army. What will our Daoist school use to resist then?"

Qingding: "Li Fei's future status and influence in the Great Blue Dynasty will definitely surpass Wenren Zheng's. Even the Emperor must respect his opinion! As long as Li Fei is willing to speak up for our Great Luo Sect, things will never come to that!"

Taiyu fell silent again.

He absolutely believed in Qingding's stance and was convinced that the other party would not speak up for the Great Blue Dynasty.

Therefore, Qingding's role as a persuader had the greatest impact on him!
This former number one alchemist in the world is now just a wisp of a soul, so his purpose seems exceptionally pure. He has no need for, nor can he, scheme for anything for himself anymore.

Qingding's last wish in this life was simply that the Great Luo Sect could be safe and sound!

At one moment, Taiyu suddenly looked up, his expression changing slightly.

"Uncle Master?"

Qingding noticed the change in Taiyu's emotions.

"That's fine."

Taiyu sighed, "I'm going to the Western Kingdom."

Qingding was overjoyed: "Uncle-Master has agreed to help the Great Blue Dynasty?"

Taiyu did not give a definite answer, but simply walked out of the main hall.

He found Qingwei and explained to her:

"I'm going to the Western Kingdom. You guard the sect well. No matter what happens, the mountain-protecting formation must not be activated!"

Upon hearing this, Qingwei's expression changed:
"Uncle-Master, are you going to join forces with Buddhism?"

He was unaware that a decisive battle had already begun in the Western Kingdom, and thought that Taiyu was going to the Western Kingdom in person to discuss cooperation with Buddha Jingheng.

Taiyu did not answer him either, but only gave him instructions:
"If anything happens to me on this trip, you will take over as the leader of the Great Luo Sect. In case the situation becomes dire, you can escape on your own and rebuild the Great Luo Sect when you break through to the True Monarch realm!"

Qingwei was extremely anxious and quickly said:
"If Martial Uncle has already made his decision, then our Great Luo Sect will do everything in its power to take me with you!"

Taiyu shook his head, raised his hand and pushed out a gentle force, leaving Qingwei in place.

He turned and flew away from the outside of the formation, leaving behind only one sentence:
"Remember what I said."

After flying out of the [Great Heavenly Cloud Forbidden True Thunder Array], Taiyu flew towards the direction of the Western Extreme Kingdom.

"Uncle Master?"

Qingding asked somewhat uneasily.

Taiyu: "The Buddhists have already started a war."

Qingding: "What?"

Taiyu: "The Buddhists have chosen today to begin their decisive battle."

Qingding was puzzled: "Why? Where did they get their confidence?"

Taiyu: "Do you know what the Heavenly King Zhenhe said to me when I fought him before?"

Qingding knew that it must be very crucial information, because it was the last bargaining chip that Buddhism used to win over the Daluo Sect.

"What is it?"

He said that there is also a martial saint in Buddhism.

"How can it be!"

"I don't believe it either, but the fact that Buddhism took the initiative to start a war today suggests that they really have some trump cards up their sleeves."

"There are only a handful of grandmasters in Buddhism who have established their path, and none of them can prove their path through force. These few individuals all need to leverage external influence to prove their path, so where does Buddhism have any 'influence' to lend them?"

Qingding simply didn't believe it.

Taiyu was somewhat surprised: "You actually know so much about the matter of attaining enlightenment?"

Qingding smiled and said, "I've gained some experience following Li Fei all these years."

Taiyu: "I don't know who in Buddhism can become a Martial Saint so quickly, but since the Heavenly King of Zhenhe risked his life to come see me, he shouldn't try to deceive me with a lie that can be easily exposed."

Qingding fell silent upon hearing this.

Indeed, if this is Buddhism's last trump card, it shouldn't be a lie no matter how you look at it.

"Moreover, this new Martial Saint may not be all of Buddhism's trump cards."

Taiyu hesitated for a moment before speaking.

Qingding was startled: "What other trump cards does Buddhism have up its sleeve?"

"The Heavenly King of Zhenhe gave me a suggestion: all I need to do is kill one person, and the world will be at peace."

"Kill who?"

"Li Fei!"

"."

Qingding's first reaction was that it was absurd.

Will the world be at peace once Li Fei dies?

But he soon reacted.

"Could it be."

Taiyu raced across the sea of ​​clouds, his gaze fixed on the direction of the Western Kingdom, his eyes deep and unfathomable.
"Why does everyone think the Great Blue Dynasty has a great chance of winning in the future? Because they have Li Fei. As long as Li Fei reaches the top, the current balance will be completely broken!"
"And without Li Fei, the Great Blue Dynasty, the Western Extremity Kingdom, and the Daoist school could have maintained a tripartite balance for a very long time." Qing Ding's mind reeled: "So the Heavenly King Zhenhe didn't actually ask you to ally with Buddhism to help them deal with the Great Blue Dynasty, but only proposed to join forces with you to kill Li Fei?"

Taiyu: "Yes."

The Great Blue Dynasty's strategy this time accurately predicted the Buddhist sect's actions, with each step linked to the next, culminating in the decisive move of Qingding, which can be described as a 'killer move'!
But Buddhism is not a useless or incompetent force.

You have your plans, and I have mine.

The Buddhist and Taoist sects had no basis for trust and had a long history of resentment. From the beginning, the Buddhist sect knew that it would be difficult to form an alliance.

So let's change our approach—

No alliance is needed; all that's required is for the Taoists to help kill one person, thus establishing a balance.

Even without Li Fei, the Great Blue Dynasty still has Wenren Zheng and the Four Imperial Guards.

With the Northern Barbarians, the Grasslands, and the two Great Desert Kingdoms now dealt with, even if the Western Kingdom cannot be destroyed, self-preservation is more than enough.

Similarly, even without Li Fei, the Western Extremity Kingdom would find it difficult to defeat the Great Blue Dynasty, but there's no need to worry about it being destroyed in a few years.

Most importantly, once Li Fei is gone, the Taoists become an indispensable fighting force.

Once the Taoists decide which side to help, that side is guaranteed to win, so neither side dares to oppose the Taoists.

In this way, a three-way balance of power was formed.

The Great Luo Sect need not worry about being abandoned after being used, or being held accountable later.

Qingding became increasingly alarmed as he thought about it.

He suddenly realized that if Ye Ze'an hadn't anticipated the Buddhist sect's actions and arranged for someone to sabotage them, Zhenhe Tianwang wouldn't have had a chance to sit down and talk properly with Taiyu, and Taiyu wouldn't have had to intervene to save people, thus deepening the 'rift' between the two sides.

I'm afraid that before I can even show myself to persuade Taiyu, Taiyu will be swayed by Buddhism!

"My martial uncle invited Li Fei into the sect earlier, probably with murderous intent."

Qingding thought to himself.

At that time, Li Fei was inside the [Great Heavenly Cloud Forbidden True Thunder Formation], and the River Suppressing Heavenly King could turn back at any time.

At that time, if the third-ranked and fourth-ranked figures in the world join forces to surround and kill Li Fei within the formation, it will be difficult for Li Fei to survive!

"But in the end, you didn't lay a hand on Li Fei and let him go."

Qingding said, "At that time, I hadn't even shown myself yet. What were you thinking, Uncle-Master?"

Taiyu did not hide anything and truthfully expressed his concerns:

"First, I still don't trust Buddhism and dare not let the River-Suppressing Heavenly King enter my mountain-protecting formation."

Secondly, if we were to fight this battle within our Great Luo Sect, the losses would be too great, inevitably resulting in casualties.

Third, when I asked Li Fei whether we should talk in Daluo Town or inside the mountain gate, he took the initiative to suggest going inside the mountain gate.

Even if it was to show sincerity, it's unlikely that they would be completely unprepared.

"Since that Grand Secretary is so prescient, wouldn't he have prepared a backup plan for Li Fei?"

Qingding remained silent. He knew for certain that Li Fei had a backup plan, because he had witnessed Li Fei's battle in the Abyss firsthand.

He was aware of the later alliance with Xuchihan.

Taiyu noticed the change in Qingding's emotions and said:

"So the Great Blue Dynasty really does have a trump card?"

Qingding remained silent.

It wasn't that he intentionally concealed it from Taiyu, but rather that the two had signed a vow of magic before he left Li Fei.

He couldn't reveal a single word about the Xuchi Clam!

Now, Qingding is just a wisp of a remnant soul. The oath spell has a very strong binding force on him, and if he breaks the oath, he will immediately turn to ashes.

When Taiyu saw that Qingding remained silent, he immediately understood.

The Great Blue Dynasty does indeed have its trump cards!
"Uncle Master."

After a moment, Qingding spoke first, "So what exactly are you thinking?"

Having come this far, he had done everything he could and said everything he needed to say.

Ultimately, the decision rests with Yu the Great.

Taiyu looked into the distance:

"Actually, the results might already be out by the time I get there."

Qingding suddenly realized what was happening.

If the Buddhist sects have already begun their decisive battle, then Li Fei will inevitably rush to the Western Kingdom.

In other words, the assassination plot against Li Fei may have already begun!

Even if the Great Luo Sect hasn't made a decision yet, what about the others?
The Great Luo Sect is not the only one that fears being abandoned after being used and wants to maintain a balance.
West Pole Country.

Outside the Vajra Castle.

The sword light, like a raging sea, carrying a piercing shriek that tore through the sky, surged toward the Thousand-Hand Guanyin statue!
Each sword light was as solid as a tangible substance, as if thousands of meteors were pouring down from the heavens. Before the force even arrived, the chilling sword pressure had already carved countless deep marks into the earth.

The thousand hands of Guanyin moved in unison, some forming the Treasure Vase Mudra, some making the Fearless Mudra, and some transforming into the Samsara Fist, a grand display of Buddhist martial arts, with dazzling golden light and booming chanting.

Countless Buddha palms, layer upon layer, formed a wall of gold and steel, clashing fiercely with the violent sword light!
The sounds of exploding energy were incessant, golden light and sword shadows clashed wildly, and the sparks that flew everywhere turned the sky crimson!
Li Fei and Ming Qi's figures had long since become blurred, with only two streaks of light constantly colliding, separating, and colliding again.

In the blink of an eye, over a hundred moves had passed, but in reality, Li Fei was still only using one move: "Ignorant of the Sky's Height".

In the past, he could only use this move to directly clash with others. After the baptism of "Ascending the Tower of Heaven" and strengthening his foundation, he can now disassemble and recombine "Ignorance of the Sky" at will.

Li Fei can incorporate into "Ignorant of the Heavens" any moves he has practiced himself, moves he has learned from others, and the techniques and intentions of grandmasters and even top experts.

Boom——! ! !
A particularly magnificent sword beam swept out, forcefully severing several of the Buddha's hands from the Guanyin image. Its momentum remained undiminished, like a startled swan from the sky, piercing straight towards Ming Qi's face.

Ming Qi neither dodged nor avoided the sword light that was powerful enough to pierce through mountains. The moment it struck his head, it passed through him as if it had hit a phantom.

He himself was unharmed, and his attacks did not falter in the slightest, as if the devastating sword light was merely an insignificant shadow.

This is his principle—[selflessness].

Selflessly abandoning oneself, transcending all worldly concerns, and detached from the universe!

The Dao of "Selflessness" is the most challenging Dao that Li Fei has encountered so far.

Ming Qiren was right in front of him, his blood and qi surging like a river, his fist intent solid as a mountain, the pressure of the Martial Saint's body was real and not false, and the power of the Martial Dao Domain enveloped all directions.
But he himself seemed to be in another dimension. No matter how fierce Li Fei's attacks were, whether it was physical sword strikes or mental attacks that directly hit his mind, once they touched his body, they were like hitting nothing and all fell into nothingness!

Li Fei was fighting an enemy that didn't exist at all, but the enemy's counterattack was real and at the level of a Martial Saint!

After activating the Great Blue Nation's power, Li Fei has surpassed Ming Qi in absolute strength.

But as the classic saying goes, no matter how strong you are, it's useless if you can't hit anyone.

It seems that Li Fei has the upper hand.

But he knew perfectly well that his attack had not caused Ming Qi any harm at all.

At a certain moment, the Thousand-Armed Guanyin image behind Mingqi suddenly vanished, replaced by a colossal figure that filled the heavens and earth, possessing unparalleled power and majesty—

His muscles were bulging like a coiled dragon, and his body surface shimmered with a dark golden luster. Every inch of his flesh seemed to contain the power to shatter the heavens and the earth. His eyes were wide open in anger, exuding a terrifying aura that could suppress evil spirits and crush all things!
The Vajra Eight Legions, the Great Vajra Image!

Pudu Temple has two supreme martial arts: the Vajra Eight Legions and the Tathagata Ten Seals.

Ming Qi's main martial art has always been the "Eight Vajra Techniques".

At this moment, he used the "Great Vajra Dharma," which is the most powerful and effective technique in the "Eight Vajra Manuals."
As soon as the Vajra Dharma Form appeared, Ming Qi's blood and qi surged like a great river bursting its banks, his muscles and bones resonated, and a continuous thunderous sound erupted.

He used both his hands and feet to launch a ferocious attack on Li Fei!
Most advanced martial arts in the world emphasize reserving some strength for unpredictable moves and defensive maneuvers. But Ming Qi completely disregarded all these conventional principles at this moment—

With their defenses wide open, they disregarded their own safety and poured all their strength and will into every strike, focusing solely on offense and refusing to defend!

Although this Buddhist disciple had just attained enlightenment, he had already thoroughly understood the true meaning of "no-self".

Since the body is like nothingness, untouched by any dharma, then why defend? Why conserve energy?
Attack, attack, and attack again! Transform all your strength and all your mind into a thunderous storm to crush the enemy!

Li Fei was very familiar with this style of play, because he often played like this himself.

Relying on the Ten Thousand Blood Beads, he was not afraid of getting hurt, and he didn't hold back at all when he fought.

Li Fei never expected that one day he would face the same fighting style.

The terrible experience he once gave his enemies is now his own to experience.

The two figures clashed fiercely once again, and a terrifying ring of distorted light exploded at the point where their fists struck.

Li Fei took Ming Qi's punch head-on, the immense force causing his right arm to tremble. At the same time, he also combined his sharp sword energy with his mental impact, using the method of combining martial arts and magic to forcefully strike Ming Qi's body.

However, the profound mystery of the principle of "selflessness" is revealed once again—

Li Fei was enduring the terrifying impact of Ming Qi's attack, but the force he used to retaliate passed right through Ming Qi's body the moment it touched him, failing to cause any effect whatsoever.

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, the surrounding space suddenly began to distort.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth became chaotic, the five elements reversed, and all sorts of strange phenomena appeared.

The Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Grand Formation has arrived!
Just when Li Fei thought that Xuanxin Zhenjun had seen through the situation and wanted to help him deal with Ming Qi.

Suddenly, a five-colored light appeared and pressed down on Li Fei!

Li Fei suddenly turned around.

True Lord Xuanxin has not yet revealed his true form; only a voice has been heard:
"For the sake of peace in the world, I beg you to die!"
