This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 640 The Blood Breath Never Stops, the Undying Body Remains, and Trump Cards Keep Coming Away Amidst the Chaos of the Void
Outside Vajra Castle, the battle raged on.

The battlefield is divided into four parts—

The first part is a chaotic battle between the Grandmasters, top True Men, martial arts masters and True Men of the Great Blue Dynasty and a group of powerful Buddhists, with casualties on both sides.

The second part takes place on the plains, where eight imperial guards of a thousand men each face off against twelve thousand Buddhist monks. The two sides are locked in fierce combat.

The third part is the area surrounded by the Qiankun Reversal Five Elements Formation, where three top experts are besieging Li Fei and have an absolute advantage.

In the fourth part, high in the sky, Wenren is trapped in the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation. Although his life is not in danger, he is also unable to escape.

The battlefield where Li Fei was located was undoubtedly the most dangerous, so when the White Flame Army arrived, the White Flame Dragon immediately rushed towards the Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Formation.

However, the blue giant that followed did not come to support Li Fei, nor did it support the other three battlefields. Instead, it charged towards the direction of Pudu Mountain!
The Heavenly King Zhenhe was even more astonished upon seeing this scene.

He had guessed that the Great Blue Dynasty would recall the White Flame Army so that it could participate in the battle in time.

But I never expected that the Great Blue Dynasty would actually bring in the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry, which was guarding the capital!

Without the Azure Iron Cavalry, at most only Ji Yiheng, who possesses the combat power of a prince, remains in Lanling City.

Even if the opponent, with the help of the Lieque Sword Tower and the blessing of the nation's fortune, can temporarily rival the top experts, he is at most on par with a newly promoted True Monarch like Wuhui True Monarch, or even weaker.

For Zhenhe Tianwang, Ji Yiheng was no match at all!

As for Emperor Qin Ziheng, who was also within the Xuanqiong Yuji Zhenlong Grand Formation, he possessed top-tier combat power.

A new emperor who had only been on the throne for less than two years, whose control over the fate of the nation was far inferior to that of Emperor Hongguang.

An emperor who has never fought more than a few times in his life and has absolutely no experience in top-level combat.

If you give him peak power, how much of it can he unleash?

With two so-called top-tier combatants guarding Lanling City, Zhenhe Tianwang has a hundred ways to defeat them!
Just like when the two Heavenly Kings of Buddhism were absent, and the injured Jingheng was guarding the house with Qin Mingli, they still had a great formation to rely on, but they were almost defeated by Wenren Zheng alone.

Although the Great Blue Dynasty's national fortune is stronger than that of the Western Extreme Kingdom, Jing Heng, who ranks sixth on the Ultimate Ranking, plus Qin Mingli, who ranks tenth on the Ultimate Ranking, are definitely stronger than Ji Yiheng and Qin Ziheng combined!

The newly established Western Kingdom suffered a humiliating defeat, and its national fortune was also damaged.

With the lessons of the past right before their eyes, Zhenhe Tianwang couldn't understand where Qin Ziheng got the courage to take such a desperate gamble.
He possesses the ability to traverse the void, making him far faster than the 'bulky' Imperial Guards.

The only one who had a chance to catch up with him, Li Fei, was currently trapped. If he abandoned Li Fei now and went straight to Lanling City, he would be in trouble.

Even if he fights to the death like Wenren Zheng, and gets injured in the end, he will definitely be able to kill Qin Ziheng!
As for the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry that charged directly towards Pudu Temple...

Even if Jing Heng is at his worst, even if his injuries haven't healed, he is still ranked sixth on the top list by Li Fei.

Is someone ranked sixth in the world so easy to deal with?
The fact that the Great Blue Dynasty dared to "change its home" like this immediately stirred up the Zhenhe Heavenly King's interest.

As long as Qin Ziheng is killed, the Xuanqiong Yuji True Dragon Formation will be broken.

The Great Blue Dynasty will immediately collapse, and the hearts of the people will also collapse!

There's no need to fight this battle anymore; Buddhism and Taoism can now begin to 'divide and conquer' the Great Blue Dynasty.

The Heavenly King of the River Guardian did not act immediately, but instead contacted the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation above, communicating with Jingheng, who was stationed at the rear, through the formation:

"Qin Ziheng has dispatched the Azure Iron Cavalry. I'm going to Lanling City to kill him!"

"do not go."

"why?"

"There might be a trap."

"."

Zhenhe Tianwang immediately recalled how Jingheng had failed in Lanling City.

"You mean"

Lanling City.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The game of chess between the emperor and the chief minister has lasted for nearly four hours.

The game had long since entered its endgame, and both sides were 'thinking' for a long time before making each move.

Or perhaps, their minds were no longer on the chessboard in front of them.

Their true chessboard is the entire world!
"This situation was due to my poor decision-making, which has put Your Majesty in a dangerous situation. Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Ye Ze'an stood up and bowed to Qin Ziheng.

Qin Ziheng reached out to help:
"The game is not over yet, how can you leave halfway through? Please, Grand Secretary, be seated."

His expression remained calm.

"As ordered."

Ye Ze'an sat down again.

Everyone thought that he, the prime minister of the Blue House, was a man of perfect strategy and a prophet.

But is there anyone in this world who is truly omniscient and omnipotent, and who never makes a mistake?
Ye Ze'an anticipated that the Buddhist sect might send the Heavenly King Zhenhe to the Daluo Sect to negotiate with Taiyu, so he advised Wenren Zheng to prepare in advance and take the opportunity to lead his army into the Western Kingdom to further weaken the power of the Buddhist kingdom.

This was also to force the Heavenly King of Zhenhe to return to defend.

Otherwise, if the third-ranked person in the world were to run rampant throughout the Great Blue Dynasty and cause destruction everywhere, the Great Blue Dynasty would not be able to tolerate it.

Therefore, this move was unavoidable.

Buddhism, on the other hand, took advantage of this and set up a trap in return.

Ye Ze'an did not expect that the Western Kingdom would be able to transfer the power of the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Array from the Buddhist Capital to Vajra City.

This was a mistake in the first step.

He anticipated that the Shangqing Sect would not genuinely form an alliance to help the Great Blue Dynasty completely destroy the Western Kingdom, and that True Monarch Xuanxin might have ulterior motives, so he took precautions in advance.

But he never expected that Buddhism could actually make Ming Qi a Martial Saint!
Any one of the top figures is enough to influence the course of the world. The fact that Buddhism has gained another martial saint has a huge impact on the situation!
This is the second mistake.

Both of these things were miscalculated, which led to Wenren Zheng being trapped and Li Fei also being in danger.

Otherwise, if Wenren Zheng hadn't been trapped, Li Fei wouldn't have needed to go to his rescue.

However, Ye Ze'an's two miscalculations were not due to any fault in the battle itself.

No one could have predicted that Buddhism would have such methods.

"The Prime Minister has done a good enough job; there is no need to blame himself."

Qin Ziheng said to Ye Zean, "The ones we're playing against aren't good-for-nothings either."

His words weren't entirely meant to comfort Ye Ze'an; he genuinely felt that the other party had done enough.

Ye Ze'an truly hadn't anticipated that Buddhism could enable Ming Qi to break through his cultivation realm and become a saint.

But as early as when Wenren was trapped and Li Fei rushed to his aid with Xuchi Han, he suggested that Qin Ziheng send out the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry!
"The Buddhists' actions must be a desperate gamble, indicating they have a trump card up their sleeve. If we respond with our prior preparations, we may not be able to cope."

Before the Buddhists revealed their trump cards, they sent out the Azure Iron Cavalry ahead of time.

This is incredibly audacious!

It requires sufficient foresight and courage!
But it was precisely because Ye Ze'an had such foresight that Qin Ziheng had the courage to carry it out.

Ultimately, the Azure Iron Cavalry was able to arrive in time for the Western Kingdom and participate in the battle.

Otherwise, the flight speed of a 10,000-strong Imperial Guard would be much slower than that of an ordinary peak expert. If the three peak experts had already begun to besiege Li Fei, the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry would have set off from Lanling City.

By the time the Azure Iron Cavalry arrives, the corpses will probably be cold.

In chess, one wrong move leads to another.

Ye Ze'an and Qin Ziheng's actions undoubtedly gave the Great Blue Dynasty a head start in the game!
However, such an action would indeed involve enormous risks.

What if the Buddhists had noticed this beforehand?
What if the Buddhists choose to "exchange homes" with the Great Blue Dynasty and send the River-Suppressing Heavenly King to attack?
What if, in the worst-case scenario, Taiyu and Zhenhe Tianwang attack together?!

Even if a compromise is made, Qin Ziheng can still defend the great formation and the palace.

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe's rampage and destruction in Lanling City could also cause incalculable losses to the Great Lan Dynasty!
"Can you make it?"

Qin Ziheng suddenly asked a question.

Ye Ze'an glanced at him and said in a certain tone:

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we will make it in time!"

We will win this battle!

Upon hearing this, Qin Ziheng felt relieved and nodded vigorously.

In fact, he was far less calm and composed than he appeared on the surface.

Just now, Ye Ze'an stood up to apologize to him, and he intended to stand up as well, but he did not.

If he also stands up, his legs might become unsteady.
From the moment he became the crown prince, Qin Ziheng lived as if walking on thin ice, daring not to make the slightest mistake.

After ascending the throne, he was forced to take many risky actions.

Sending out the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry today is the most risky thing he has ever done in his life!

Deep inside the palace.

Inside a grand hall, Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing sat somewhat uneasily.

A few hours earlier, the couple was suddenly summoned to the palace by imperial decree.

The imperial eunuch Feng Cheng personally led them into the main hall and told them with a smile:

"I may need to stay here for the next few days. Please let me know if you need anything."

Li Lei has been serving as an official in Beijing for more than two years, and his political acumen has been honed.

His first thought was that he and his wife were under house arrest!

Is the Emperor suspicious of Li Fei?
What taboo thing did Li Fei do outside?

But the Grand Eunuch, a high-ranking official in the Imperial Palace, personally arranged accommodations for the two of them, and even lowered his stance so much.

This doesn't really look like house arrest.

"I think maybe it was to protect us."

Li Lei reached this conclusion and said it to Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing was puzzled: "Is it not safe to live in the capital? Is it only safe to live in the palace?"

Li Lei was also puzzled, not understanding what kind of danger would make the emperor order them to be brought into the palace.

What he didn't know was that even if they stayed in the palace, if the Heavenly King of Zhenhe really came and intended to wreak havoc, Qin Ziheng wasn't confident he could protect him and Zhang Yuqing. This was also one of the things the Emperor was worried about.

If Li Lei and Zhang Yuqing were to die in the palace, there would be a rift between him and Li Fei forever!
"Old Li, do you think Xiao Fei and Tian Yu are in danger?"

Zhang Yuqing asked.

At this time, what parents worry about most is still their children.

Li Lei patted her hand, both to comfort his wife and to comfort himself:
"Don't worry, they'll be fine."

Xisheng Province.

Located at the westernmost edge of the Great Blue Dynasty, it connects with the coastline.

The westernmost part of Xisheng Province is the western border defense line of the Great Blue Dynasty.

More than 20 years ago, there was no defense line here.

After the invasion of the seven-nation coalition of the Western Continent, the western defense line was built.

The Crimson Scale Army, originally stationed in the southern border, was transferred to the western border and has since been stationed by the sea, facing the western continent across the ocean.

A few hours ago, the Crimson Scale Army suddenly received an imperial decree.

Red Scale Army Commander Gu Ze immediately issued the order—

Using magic to conceal their presence and without alerting anyone, the entire Crimson Scale Army, carrying the necessary weapons, equipment, and supplies, quickly assembled and set off!
With top-tier cultivators and several other cultivators working together to conceal the departure of the Crimson Scale Army, it did not attract much attention.

Once they had completely left the western border defense line, the Crimson Scale Army no longer concealed themselves, activated their military formation, and coalesced into a giant, crimson dragon that soared into the sky!

The Western Territory is too far from the Western Extremity Kingdom, so the order received by the Crimson Scale Territory was not to rush to the Western Extremity Kingdom to provide support.

"Don't worry about the wear and tear on the weapons. Each battalion should take turns to activate the formation as quickly as possible!"

Commander Gu Ze continuously issued military orders and adjusted the formation.

There was an unconcealable look of anxiety and tension in his eyes.

He was terrified that his delayed arrival would cause problems in the capital!
The journey from the Western Border to Lanling City is also very long, so the Crimson Scale Army will not go directly to Lanling City.

Just like the Azure Frost Army before, the Crimson Scale Army needs to rush to a specific place and use the large array that has been prepared there in advance to send its power to Blue Ling City remotely by depleting the nation's fortune!
When Jingheng led his men to storm Lanling City, they ultimately failed, largely because he did not expect the Great Lan Dynasty to have such methods.

When Emperor Taizu was building the four imperial guards, he secretly set up large arrays in the four directions of Lanling City, specifically for the transmission of power.

The purpose was so that if one day the capital was attacked and the imperial guards could not return in time, this great formation could be used to save the emperor.

The methods prepared more than 500 years ago have already saved the Great Blue Dynasty once.

This tactic will now be used again.

At the same time Qin Ziheng dispatched the Sky Blue Iron Cavalry, he also ordered the Crimson Scale Army to head towards the location of the large formation set up to the west of Lanling City.

Of course, there will be a 'gap period' in between, which is why Qin Ziheng asked Ye Ze'an:

"Can you make it?"

Outside the Vajra Castle.

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe ultimately did not directly attack Lanling City.

Jingheng had already suffered a loss in Lanling City and was still wary.

This Buddha had already guessed that the Great Blue Dynasty would prepare the same method. If the Heavenly King of Zhenhe attacked Lanling City, he would not only face Ji Yiheng and Qin Ziheng, who possessed top-level combat power, but also most likely the power of the Dao transmitted from afar by the Red Scale Army!
If the Heavenly King of Zhenhe cannot kill Qin Ziheng in a short time, there will be many variables.

Therefore, instead of letting Zhenhe Tianwang gamble in Lanling City, it would be better to let him kill Li Fei outside Jingang City and complete the planned scheme.

"We finally got reinforcements, but not all of them came to save you. It seems that the emperor doesn't really care about your life or death."

While attacking the sword peak in front of him with the [Great Thousand Seal], Zhenhe Tianwang spoke to Li Fei.

The White Flame Army and the Azure Iron Cavalry arrived at the same time, but only the White Flame Army came to rescue Li Fei.

Zhenhe Tianwang alone could kill Li Fei, so even if the Baiyan Army and the Tianlan Iron Cavalry came to rescue him, they might not succeed.

What's more, only the White Flame Army came?
Li Fei remained silent, simply gazing at the Myriad Blood Beads within his body.

It's finally upgraded!

I was already level 87 a little over a month ago, and I leveled up 2 levels in a month. Now I've gone from level 89 to level 90.

The nearly depleted Blood Soul within the Thousand Blood Beads was instantly replenished, and the total number increased by 178, becoming 12618.

Not only that, the Blood Pearl reached level 90 and condensed another Blood Crystal!
This time, what transformed into blood crystals was [Blood Breath].

The original effect of [Blood Breath] is that when the number of Blood Souls in the Blood Orb is less than 50%, it will automatically restore 5% of the total number of Blood Souls per minute.

After transforming into blood crystals, the trigger condition of blood soul being below 50% is gone.

As long as Li Fei has a thought, the blood soul of the Myriad Blood Pearl will automatically begin to recover, and the fewer the number of blood souls, the faster the recovery speed!

Li Fei didn't have time to savor the changes in [Blood Breath]. The instant the Myriad Blood Beads upgraded, he immediately consumed 8833 Blood Souls to cast [Sword Sacrifice]!
If possible, Li Fei would actually prefer to use these 8000+ Blood Souls to absorb the damage, so that his 'health bar' would be thicker and he could last longer.

However, he must maintain his 'Blood Demon Extreme State' so that [Blood Rage] has no upper limit. Otherwise, [Blood Rage] is linked to the [Dragon Elephant] divine power, and if the power of [Blood Rage] weakens, his overall power will be reduced by at least 30%!
The gap between him and the Heavenly King of Zhenhe was already huge. If he weakened his power by another 30%, he would be even more passive in the fight, or even be directly suppressed in the River of Martial Arts and unable to move.

Therefore, after weighing the options, Li Fei felt that using these 8000+ blood souls to perform the [Sword Sacrifice] would further enhance his power and be more advantageous to the battle.

Because constantly being on the defensive won't break the deadlock, only by taking the initiative can opportunities be created.

This requires even greater power!

The immense life force transformed into terrifying explosive power. Originally, the power of the 'Ultimate Sword State' was reduced due to the speed at which it absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.

At this point, it not only rose again, but also broke through the original limit!

A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly King of Zhenhe, because he clearly sensed that the sword peak, sword momentum, sword energy and sword intent standing in front of him had become stronger!

Moreover, he sensed a continuous stream of immense primordial energy flowing into Li Fei's body from the void, like a whale swallowing its prey.

"Xuanxin, what are you doing?!"

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe angrily questioned.

The opposing side was tasked with trapping Li Fei using the Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Formation, disrupting his movements, and preventing him from absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

It's one thing that they couldn't completely stop Li Fei from absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but how did they manage to increase the speed at which Li Fei absorbed it so much?
"He suddenly opened up a new passage in the void."

Xuanxin Zhenjun offered an explanation, and at the same time immediately manipulated the great formation to disrupt the void and cut off Li Fei's 'supply' channel.

At this moment, Li Fei finally realized how to use [Blood Breath] after it was transformed into Blood Crystal.

All of Li Fei's previous Blood Soul Skills, such as [Blood Rage], [Blood Might], and [Blood Spring], were transformed into Blood Crystals, requiring him to actively absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to unleash them.

The speed at which one absorbs the vital energy of heaven and earth directly affects one's combat power.

[Blood Breath] has been a 'passive skill' from the beginning, so Li Fei doesn't need to focus on controlling it.

Now that it has been transformed into blood crystals, Li Fei no longer needs to focus on controlling it.

The Myriad Blood Beads automatically absorb the vital energy of heaven and earth from the void!

Currently, the remaining number of blood souls in the Blood Pearl is 30%, and the number of blood souls automatically replenished every minute is 883, which is approximately 7% of the total number of blood souls.

The recovery speed has already exceeded the original upper limit of [Blood Breath], and as the blood souls within the Myriad Blood Pearl continue to decrease, the recovery speed of [Blood Breath] will continue to increase!

This means that even if Li Fei is beaten down to only a little bit of health, he only needs to disengage from the battle for a few tens of minutes and come back to full health.

It's like having an immortal body!

Unfortunately, he can't escape the battle right now.

Even with his power further enhanced, he was still firmly suppressed by the Great Thousand Seal of the River-Suppressing Heavenly King and the great array power of the Mysterious Heart True Lord.

Boom——

The multicolored light outside the great formation flashed for a moment, and the barriers of primordial energy and the primordial magnetic divine light were ignited by the white flames and burned into nothingness!

A white flame dragon charged into the Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Formation.

The Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Grand Formation was not known for its defensive capabilities, so True Lord Xuanxin simply let the White Flame Army into the formation to "close the door and beat the dog".

The Heavenly King of Zhenhe gave Ming Qi a look, and the latter decisively abandoned Li Fei and turned to face the White Flame Dragon.

He possesses the principle of "selflessness," which allows him to withstand even the most formidable opponents for a short period.

Even though the White Flame Dragon couldn't get through, Li Fei's situation remained dangerous and hadn't changed much.

The Blood Pearl can no longer be upgraded. If Li Fei's Blood Soul is completely destroyed again, that person will really be gone!
Li Fei had anticipated this.

Before today, Wenren Zheng had given him a tactical simulation.

For the final battle, this military genius made many contingency plans in advance, one of which was how to deal with the situation if he and Li Fei were separated on the battlefield and Li Fei was in danger alone.

Wenren Zheng's solution was—not to save them!
Use any excess resources to attack other areas, depending on the situation.

The Sky Blue Iron Cavalry is following Wenren Zheng's plan and has not come to rescue Li Fei, but instead went directly to find Jing Heng!
While Jingheng was responsible for blessing Jinglian with the "Buddha's words," he also had to activate the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Array to assist Buddha Eye Heavenly King and Qin Mingli in trapping Wenrenzheng.

Once Jingheng is disturbed, the Qingshuang Army will have a chance to kill Jinglian, and Wenrenzheng will also have a chance to escape.

In this way, the situation can be turned around!

As for Li Fei's safety, that's up to Xu Chihan.

It's certainly a good thing that Li Fei was able to form an alliance with this ninth-grade exotic beast.

But Wenren Zheng never thought that the Great Blue Dynasty's acquisition of a ninth-grade exotic beast guaranteed a victory.

To think that way is simply naive.

Xu Chihan could never have been of one mind with the Great Blue Dynasty from beginning to end, let alone risk his life for it.

All it cared about was the Dao of the River of Oblivion, or rather, Li Fei's life.

If the White Flame Army and the Azure Iron Cavalry come together to rescue Li Fei, then Xu Chihan will definitely continue to 'pad the water' and slowly 'travel'.

Therefore, Wenren Zheng's tactical arrangement against Li Fei was to find an opportunity to put Li Fei in a dangerous situation, forcing Xu Chihan to enter the fray!
This was certainly risky, but Li Fei agreed without any objection.

Within the Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Grand Formation, the void passage through which the Myriad Blood Pearls autonomously absorbed the primordial energy of heaven and earth was severed!
[Blood Breath] automatically takes effect, and the Myriad Blood Beads begin to establish a new void channel.

But it was disturbed again by Xuanxin Zhenjun.

Just as the two sides were engaged in a battle of wits, a storm suddenly erupted in the void.

The void is truly in chaos this time!
A colossal object suddenly entered the void area where the Qiankun Reversal Five Elements Formation was located, and a beam of light shot out from the void, falling towards the head of the River Suppressing Heavenly King.

Xuchi Clam has officially joined the battle!
