This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 646 A Rainbow's Shadow Appears, Unparalleled in the World; A Heartbreaking Crossing in the Dark.

In the void, a vast power swept outwards like a raging tide.

Like a giant oven, the Void Clam, after swallowing the principle of "No-Self," was like boiling water poured into a frying pan—

It exploded completely!

The ever-increasing aura even made Xuanxin Zhenjun, a top expert who had been promoted for many years, secretly alarmed.

"This strange beast can actually absorb Dao principles?!"

He had never heard of such a thing before and found it hard to understand.

A ninth-grade beast can already contend with top-tier experts. Apart from the top four on the absolute ranking list, no one dares to say that they can definitely kill a ninth-grade beast in a one-on-one fight.

So how powerful must a ninth-grade mythical beast that has obtained the Dao principles be?
If that ninth-grade beast were to turn around and fight me again, things would be terrible!

Given the aura that Xu Chi Han is currently displaying, Xuan Xin Zhenjun is no longer confident that he can stop it.

In the void, the enormous body of the Void Pool Clam shrank by at least one-third.

But the aura it emitted grew stronger and stronger, and when it reached a certain critical point, suddenly—

It's like the dust on the ground has been washed away with water, leaving a blank space on the wet ground, with only water stains remaining.

The void storm continued, and the enormous body of the Void Clam remained, but it suddenly lost its presence, like a phantom.

Although it is adept at traversing the void and utilizing its power, its enormous size makes it difficult to conceal itself in the void, making it easily detectable by those who are also skilled in void abilities.

But at this moment, True Lord Xuanxin could no longer grasp the true location of the Void Pool Clam.

If they can't even pinpoint its location, there's no way they can trap it.

"Humanity."

Xu Chihan's inner voice echoed in the void once more, "I am in a good mood now and will keep my promise. I will no longer participate in your struggles."

If it breaches the oath it signed with Li Fei, it will be unable to obtain the Dao Principle of the [Forgetful River], and its own source blood will be damaged.

But now that it has the principle of "selflessness," it no longer needs the "River of Oblivion."

Just as a top-tier expert can only possess one Dao principle, so too can a mythical beast.

This is the rule of the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.

Therefore, Xu Chihan no longer had any interest in the Dao principles of the [Forgetful River].

Therefore, there's no need to worry about the oath signed with Li Fei.

Moreover, after possessing the Dao principles, its strength and realm are completely different from before, and the binding force of the oath on it has greatly decreased.

This is why Li Fei insisted on handing over the [Wangchuan] to Xuchi Han ten years later.

He was worried that once the other party obtained the Dao principles, the oath would be difficult to bind them.

In retrospect, Li Fei's concerns were justified.

When Xuanxin Zhenjun heard Xuchi Han say this, he was overjoyed.

His true form has never shown itself, so he is not worried about being ambushed by Xu Chihan. He decisively draws his power into the Qiankun Dianfang Wuxing Grand Formation!

Inside the great formation, the Heavenly King of Zhenhe maintained the [Great Thousand Seal], continuing to suppress the Qing Shuang Army and Li Fei.

After Ming Qi's death, the White Flame Dragon, transformed from the White Flame Army, attacked the Heavenly King of Zhenhe.

The fire dragon and the water dragon collided!
【Daylight Flame】ignited the illusory figures of martial arts in the long river of martial arts, burning each illusory figure embodying Buddhist martial arts into starlight, and then igniting more illusory figures, thus 'passing on the fire'.

Zhenhe Tianwang allowed the White Flame Army to attack him without choosing to change his tactics.

He knew Jingheng's plan, and knew that once Jingheng returned to his peak, he could temporarily trap Wenren Zheng with his own strength and the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation.

At that time, Buddha-Eye Heavenly King and Qin Mingli will be able to come out and help me.

But after waiting for a while, the River Guardian King only saw the Buddha-Eye King arrive.

The Buddha's light fell upon the white flame dragon, and the raging flames were transformed into Buddha's light.

But soon, the golden Buddha light was also ignited, turning into a chilling white flame!

The Buddha-Eye Heavenly King's "All Lights Return to Buddha" can "transform" all things, turning them into Buddha's light.

The White Flame Army's [Daytime Heart Flame] can ignite everything and continuously spread.

The former is about centralized aggregation, while the latter is about outward diffusion.

The collision of these two principles resulted in the scene where the power of the White Flame Army formation was constantly 'converted' into Buddhist light, and the transformed Buddhist light was constantly ignited.

The power of the White Flame Army was constantly weakened, but the power of Buddha-Eye Heavenly King was not strengthened. Instead, the white flames around him accumulated more and more, making the speed at which the Buddha's light was 'ignited' faster and faster.

As a result, both sides are rapidly depleting their strength.

However, the White Flame Army's baleful aura was depleted faster because Zuo Jun, who controlled the formation, was not yet a top expert, and his subtle control over the Dao principles was far inferior to that of Buddha-Eye Heavenly King, the longest-lived Martial Saint.

Moreover, the power of Buddha-Eye Heavenly King was already stronger than that of the White Flame Army.

If it were the Azure Iron Cavalry here, they would have had a chance to wear down a top-tier expert of the level of Buddha-Eye Heavenly King.

However, simply dragging things out with the White Flame Army was not Buddha-Eye Heavenly King's goal.

What he wanted was to help Zhenhe Tianwang kill Li Fei as soon as possible.

"Amitabha."

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King raised one palm to his chest, preparing to use the "Sacrifice of Body".

But the next second, a dazzling array of colors suddenly flashed on the dark golden sword peak, space distorted, energy became chaotic, and the five elements were reversed.

The power of the Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Formation suddenly increased several times and acted on Li Fei!
"Ok?"

Buddha-Eye Heavenly King revealed a look of surprise.

"Kill him as soon as possible!"

The voice of True Lord Xuanxin reached the ears of Heavenly King Zhenhe.

If Mingqi hadn't made his final self-sacrifice, and if Buddha-eye Heavenly King hadn't come to help...

True Monarch Xuanxin had already planned to leave and return to the Shangqing Sect's mountain gate.

But the final revelation by Buddhism gave him another opportunity.

Zhenhe Tianwang alone can suppress Li Fei and Qingshuang Army. As long as Fomu Tianwang blocks Baiyan Army, he can join forces with Zhenhe Tianwang to quickly kill Li Fei!

He refused to believe that Li Fei could hold on after fighting for so long.

The Five Elements Reversal Array, when applied to [Turning the Tide], had the greatest impact on Li Fei by severely hindering the absorption of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

Whether Li Fei absorbed the energy himself using the [Hun Tian Jin Que] and the Hun Yuan Sword Body, or the [Blood Breath] absorbed it autonomously in the void, both were affected.

The absorption of the primordial energy of heaven and earth will directly affect Li Fei's combat strength!

The seven supernatural powers—[Blood Rage], [Blood Spring], and [Blood Breath]—all require the support of the primordial energy of heaven and earth.

The arrival of Xuanxin Zhenjun has indeed plunged Li Fei into a desperate situation once again!
"Void Pond Clam?"

Li Fei transmitted his voice to Xu Chihan through the bond of their oath.

"Li Fei, the oath between us is hereby nullified!"

A joyful voice echoed in Xu Chihan's mind.

What business is it of human conflict?
Seeing Li Fei, who was once so arrogant in the Abyss and forced him to sign an oath, in such a sorry state, Xu Chihan felt a sense of satisfaction.

Li Fei's heart sank.

He didn't ask why, but could only activate the [Refining] divine power to refine the national fortune, turning it into pure energy to support his own losses.

However, the national fortune bestowed upon him was mainly used to enhance the defensive power of [Turning the Tide].

Now that the nation's fortune has been refined into energy, the defense of [Turning the Tide] has decreased, the damage Li Fei has suffered has increased, and the rate at which his Blood Soul is consumed has risen again.

Doing so is like drinking poison to quench thirst.

In the distance, a streak of azure sword light flashed across the sky, followed by rolling thunder.

A sword came from the west, piercing straight towards the Heaven and Earth Reversal Five Elements Formation!
Despite departing later than Taiyu and being farther from the Western Kingdom, Ning Qingman arrived here before Taiyu.

This was simply because the sword immortal was traveling too fast and too hastily, leaving no room for maneuver!

She didn't care who won or lost between the Great Blue Dynasty and the Western Kingdom.

They also didn't care about the future situation of Taoism.

She was just afraid that if she arrived late, she would never see some of the people again.

"We promised to roam the world together, to right wrongs and punish the wicked. How can you die first?"

The sword light pierced through the outer barrier of the great formation, like ink painting on rice paper, leaving a bold and colorful mark within the formation.

The five-colored radiance was shattered!

The raging energy of the five elements was broken!

The distorted space was torn apart!

The sword cleaves heaven and earth, one strike shatters all laws!

Ning Qingman charged into the enemy ranks with unstoppable momentum and arrived at the main battlefield.

She looked at the dark golden sword peak that was suppressed by the Buddha's palm and constantly worn away by the multicolored light. Through the dazzling light and sharp sword light, she saw the figure inside and couldn't help but smile.

Inside the sword's edge, Li Fei also saw the figure in green.

For a moment, he felt mixed emotions.

I felt angry, moved, guilty, and uneasy.

"I am coming."

Within the same grand formation, the space was not isolated, and Ning Qingman used the Thousand Machine Shadowless Silk to send a message to Li Fei.

Then she looked at the River-Suppressing Heavenly King, whose imposing aura carried the weight of three thousand great worlds and who resembled the king of ten thousand Buddhas, her eyes filled with murderous intent:

"Zhenhe, you deserve to die—"

Before the words were even finished, the sword light had already arrived. The same golden river of martial arts protection, which neither the Azure Frost Army nor the White Flame Army could break through, was cleaved in two by the sword light!

The martial arts phantoms in the long river shattered one by one, and once they were broken, they could not be restored.

A beauty as fine as jade, a sword as swift as a rainbow, unparalleled sword intent cleaving through the long river!

However, even when faced with the enraged sword immortal, the Heavenly King of Zhenhe still did not withdraw the Great Thousand Seal, allowing Ning Qingman to slash at his head!

Inside Sword Peak, Li Fei, upon witnessing this scene, showed not joy but rather worry.

The Buddhist community has spared no effort and staked everything for this decisive battle.

Could he not have guessed beforehand that Ning Qingman might come to his aid?

In the Buddhists' plans, were there no arrangements made specifically targeting this sword immortal?
Just as the sword light was about to completely shatter the protective river of the River-Suppressing Heavenly King, a beam of light suddenly shot out from the void—

This beam of light was like a startled swan rising from hell, carrying boundless killing intent and malevolent energy!

Ning Qingman sensed it the moment the flames appeared.

With her unparalleled swordsmanship and the new insights she gained during her seclusion to heal her injuries, she had ample time to sheathe her sword and return to defense.

But suddenly a five-colored light enveloped her!
The sudden arrival of the power to reverse the universe and the five elements completely cut off Ning Qingman's chance to withdraw her sword and defend.

Left with no other choice, she could only unleash her full protective sword energy in an attempt to slightly block the incoming flames.

As long as she can buy herself even a moment's time, she has room to maneuver.

However, when it touched Ning Qingman's protective sword energy, the astonishing purple flames, as if in a dream, directly pierced through the sword energy, ignoring this defense, and struck Ning Qingman's body!
The Path of Infernal Slaughter!
Under the blazing light, the jet-black spear, like a demonic dragon, pierced straight through Ning Qingman's body.

The world's number one assassin, "Demon Gun" Tian Youpeng!

The [Infernal Killing Path] can ignore any defense below the peak.

Against a Dao-level defense, as long as the power difference isn't too great, it can be ignored at least once.

Therefore, as long as he seizes the opportunity, this number one assassin in the world, who has successfully completed the Dao principles, has the chance to severely injure most of the top experts with one blow!
Especially players like Ning Qingman, who are strong offensively but weak defensively.

Ning Qingman spat out a mouthful of blood. At the critical moment, she instinctively made a slight dodge, causing the incoming spear to deflect and not pierce her heart directly.

Tian Youpeng was about to swing his spear horizontally and sever Ning Qingman's body right at her heart!
In that life-or-death moment, Ning Qingman did not choose to return to defense.

This sword immortal, who only attacked and never defended, did not turn around or make any unnecessary movements; he simply changed the direction of the sword that was aimed at the Heavenly King of Zhenhe.

She has no sword in her hand, so swords are everywhere!

The incomparably sharp sword light, imbued with the power of [Sword Release], slashed towards Asada Yuuto.

Ning Qingman's response was very strong—

Die together!

With the immense vitality of a Martial Saint's body, even without a heart, he wouldn't die immediately; he could even be saved.

If Tian Youpeng chooses to continue attacking, there is no guarantee that Ning Qingman will die instantly, then he will have to endure Ning Qingman's sword strike.

Like Ning Qingman, he is also a typical example of someone who is strong in offense but weak in defense.

Therefore, he was not confident that he could withstand the sword strike head-on.

He was an assassin, not a killer.

He acted only for himself, not for the Buddhist community.

Tian Youpeng sheathed his gun and retreated, gathering his gunfire to defend.

Just as Ning Qingman had a chance to catch her breath, the surrounding martial arts river swept over her!

The surging river froze before it could reach Ning Qingman, its momentum being slowed.

The demonic spear appeared too suddenly, and the Azure Frost Army didn't have time to react. They were able to activate the Azure God's Cold Prison in time to block the attack for Ning Qingman.

The river was frozen for less than a moment before breaking through the ice, but that was enough time for Ning Qingman to recover.

With a sweeping sword strike, she shattered the surrounding multicolored light, repelled the demonic spear that attacked again, and moved with lightning speed to the side.

Tian Youpeng stepped into the void and then instantly emerged from it, thrusting his spear at Ning Qingman.

The two martial saints engaged in close combat, each move a life-or-death struggle, each move fraught with danger!
Ning Qingman was still recovering from her injuries, and her reckless speed along the way took a heavy toll.

In this situation, he was ambushed by Tian Youpeng and seriously injured.

Tian Youpeng has completed the Dao principles, and his combat power has transcended the 'demon' level, reaching a new height.

With the tide turning and the tide rising, Ning Qingman was completely at a disadvantage, and her situation was even more dangerous than Li Fei's!
The Heavenly King of Zhenhe glanced at the battle between Tian Youpeng and Ning Qingman, feeling somewhat regretful that he hadn't been able to completely kill them earlier.

The Buddhists had anticipated that Ning Qingman might come to Li Fei's rescue and had made preparations accordingly.

Contact 'Magic Gun' Tian Youpeng in advance.

For top-tier experts to become even stronger, they need resources to sustain them.

Although independent cultivators like the 'Three Evils' do not have the backing of a major power, they still have many channels to obtain resources among the people.

You can get in touch with them through these channels.

So it's difficult to track their whereabouts, but it's not difficult to leave them a message.

This is why Qilian Guanshi was able to set up a scheme in Cuiqing City and connect with the two great evil forces.

The connection between Buddhism and 'Demon Gun' Tian Youpeng is also based on the same principle.

They did not intend to 'hire' the other party to kill for them.

After becoming a Martial Saint, Tian Youpeng never took another job.

The only thing that could move him was the life of a top-tier expert, and no one could afford such a 'reward'!

The Buddhist monks also never thought they could persuade Tian Youpeng to help them.

They simply told Tian Youpeng:
"At this time today, outside Vajra City, you have the opportunity to assassinate a top-tier expert and further strengthen your Dao!"

So Tian Youpeng came.

The battle in the sky was shrouded in the Great Sun Tathagata Vajra Nirvana Formation. He had not been hiding in the sky from the beginning, so it was difficult for him to intervene later.

Later, when Xuanxin Zhenjun used the Qiankun Reversal Five Elements Formation to surround Li Fei, Tian Youpeng realized that his opportunity had come, so he followed and sneaked in.

However, within the grand formation, Tian Youpeng had very limited options for targets.

True Lord Xuanxin never showed himself from beginning to end, and being within his great formation, there was no opportunity for assassination.

Only two imperial guards remained: Li Fei's, Zhenhe Tianwang's, and Ming Qi's.

Neither the Imperial Guard nor Li Fei were top-tier experts, and killing them would not benefit Tian Youpeng's own path to immortality, so they were not worth considering.

The remaining Zhenhe Heavenly King is too powerful; there's no possibility of killing him with a single blow, so he can be disregarded.

Only Ming Qi, the newly promoted Martial Saint, is very suitable for assassination.

However, the opponent's Dao is the one that most effectively counters Tian Youpeng's "Selflessness".
When Ming Qi made his final self-sacrifice, he did indeed have a chance to act.

However, at that time, Mingqi had Jingheng protecting him with the Buddha's words, and the Heavenly King Zhenhe was also watching over him, so the success rate of his attack was not high.

Secondly, Tian Youpeng's method of killing is essentially about plundering the opponent's luck and the status of a top expert through murder.

Ming Qi relinquished all his luck and Martial Saint status in the instant of his self-sacrifice. Therefore, even if Tian Youpeng killed him, he would gain nothing.

Tian Youpeng could only continue to wait.

He didn't care about the outcome between the Great Blue Dynasty and the Western Kingdom; he only wanted to find a suitable assassination target and continue pursuing his own path.

Ideally, there should be no aftereffects after the killing.

For example, when he killed Qilian Guanshi, no one sought revenge against him.

After Ming Qi died, a new Buddha-Eyed Heavenly King appeared in the great formation.

This martial saint, who lived the longest, was just too steady!
The other party knew in advance that Tian Youpeng would come and was on guard, so they did not reveal any flaws.

Moreover, he possesses the ability to sacrifice himself. Tian Youpeng worries that if he fails to kill Buddha Eye Heavenly King in one strike and pushes the opponent to the brink, he might recklessly use the ability to sacrifice himself like Ming Qi did, which could backfire and result in a loss instead of a gain.

It wasn't until Ning Qingman charged into the formation that Tian Youpeng finally saw an opportunity!
For decades, he could not take action against the pinnacle of the Great Blue Dynasty, nor dared to take action against the pinnacles of Buddhism and Taoism.

They could only target the other two demons and Ning Qingman, the rogue cultivator.

However, before the Dao principles were completed, Tian Youpeng had no confidence in assassinating Ning Qingman, so he did not make a move.

Later, the relationship between Ning Qingman and Li Fei became common knowledge, and Tian Youpeng quietly removed her from his assassination list.

The reason was simple: Tian Youpeng was worried that Li Fei would retaliate in the future.

Li Fei himself already has immense potential, and he is very likely to become the new number one in the world in the future!

Moreover, he holds a high position in the Great Blue Dynasty and has an astonishing amount of power and resources at his disposal!
Tian Youpeng did not want to suffer retaliation from Li Fei.

But today's situation makes him restless.

The Buddhist and Taoist sects joined forces to set a trap to kill Li Fei!

Li Fei seemed destined to die.

Ning Qingman came to the rescue. If he could just find an opportunity to kill Ning Qingman, Li Fei's last hope would be shattered.

Once Li Fei is dead, no one in the Great Blue Dynasty will seek revenge against him for someone as unrelated as Ning Qingman.

At that time, the Great Blue Dynasty was busy dealing with the Buddhist and Taoist sects, and it was impossible for them to spare any attention to deal with themselves.

For a demon like Tian Youpeng, a three-way balance of power is better than one dominant force!
Moreover, Ning Qingman was not at her peak condition and was distracted in her attack. Zhenhe Tianwang and Xuanxin Zhenjun, who were standing nearby, might even help her.

A perfect assassination target!

This battle is full of unpredictable changes.

But when Ning Qingman arrived, everything went as Jing Heng had initially predicted. 'Demon Spear' Tian Youpeng attacked her, severely injuring her with a single blow.

"Today, I will make you a pair of doomed lovers!"

The Buddha's light was magnificent. The Heavenly King of the River Guard pointed one finger to the sky and spoke to Li Fei.
