This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 663 Severing the Mortal World!
"It turns out that Ning Jianxian and the Duke of Jing'an are indeed having an affair!"

Gong Chang thought to himself.

At this moment, there are many people who share the same thoughts as him.

There are many rumors and speculations about the relationship between Li Fei and Ning Qingman, but there is no accurate answer.

Firstly, the two are indeed quite different in age.

Secondly, although Ning Qingman's actions were all aimed at saving Li Fei, she inevitably became involved in the conflict between the Great Blue Dynasty and other forces. This could easily lead people to mistakenly believe that she had chosen to side with the Great Blue Dynasty, and that her actions were not solely for Li Fei, but also for the Great Blue Dynasty.

The situation is now clear.

The Red Dust Pavilion Master, Wen Xuexian, suddenly publicly challenged the Duke of Jing'an. For some unknown reason, Ning Qingman was involved, so Li Fei publicly uttered those words:

"If Ning Qingman is to die, I will die first!"

Countless female warriors and fairies were mesmerized upon hearing these words, wishing they could be the ones targeted by the Lord of the Red Dust Pavilion.

"If I could get the Duke of Jing'an to say such a thing for me, I would die without regrets!"

A fairy who has been the center of attention and has made it onto the list of beauties in the martial arts world these days held her heart in her hands and said this.

Hearing this, the surrounding supporters felt a pang of sadness, but they were also convinced.

If we really lose to that Duke, what's there to be dissatisfied about?
Three streaks of light pierced the sky and landed on the official road where Li Fei and the others were.

Wenren Zheng, Zuo Jun, and Wang Chengze, the three martial arts masters, came here to watch the battle.

Wenren Zheng glanced at Wen Xuexian, then turned to look at Li Fei:

"You're going to fight Lin Tianyi next, so don't be overconfident."

Even if Li Fei survives the three strikes from Wen Xuexian without using Dao Ze, his condition will inevitably be affected.

Going to fight Lin Tianyi in an incomplete state might be dangerous.

When Lin Tianyi first reached the summit, he defeated almost all the top experts in the world.

Such duels are merely about determining victory or defeat; there are no life-or-death situations involved.

Even though he had only just entered the peak, Lin Tianyi had already widened the gap between himself and other peak experts, just like Li Fei now.

Therefore, Lin Tianyi can hold back.

But now that it's Li Fei fighting him, if Li Fei really has the strength to threaten Lin Tianyi, Lin Tianyi might not be able to hold back anymore!

"Don't worry, I have a measure."

Li Fei said to Wenren Zheng.

Wenren Zheng only offered one word of advice, but seeing that Li Fei insisted, he stopped trying to persuade him.

Once it's his decision, no one can persuade him otherwise.

On the official road, a strong wind began to rise, and dust flew everywhere.

Besides Li Fei and Wen Xuexian, who are about to face off, there are four martial arts masters watching the battle.

"Thank you."

Wen Xuexian bowed to Li Feixing.

She deliberately chose this moment to sever the causal relationship, for the same reason as Wu Hui Zhenjun: to be able to watch the next battle, the strongest showdown in a thousand years, in a better position, hoping to find an opportunity to break through to the top.

Li Fei could have easily denied her that opportunity.

As long as the "Unique Self Law" is used, Wen Xuexian won't even be able to use the Dao principles, so what's the point of severing ties with the mortal world?
Or perhaps Li Fei wouldn't even need to intervene; the Great Blue Army God would personally have a 'friendly exchange' with Wen Xuexian.

But Li Fei took on this responsibility and gave Wen Xuexian a chance.

"No need to thank me, I also want to see what a blade that cuts through the mortal world is like."

Li Fei said calmly.

He wasn't actually too annoyed or angry about Wen Xuexian's behavior.

To be fair, the other party is not the same as those scheming and treacherous people.

Leaving aside the fact that Wen Xuexian saved Ning Qingman's life, even though she and Ning Qingman were complete strangers.

She is the supreme master of the blade, while Ning Qingman is the legend of the sword. If she were to propose a fair duel with Ning Qingman, Ning Qingman would certainly not refuse.

A battle of swords and blades, all for the sake of seeking the Dao; even if one dies and the Dao is extinguished in the end, no one will blame anyone else.

Li Fei was unwilling to let Ning Qingman fight Wen Xuexian because he feared that Ning Qingman would deliberately lose to Wen Xuexian to repay her kindness and help her achieve her goal.

Even if Ning Qingman doesn't die, she will fall from her cultivation level and her swordsmanship will be interrupted.

This is something Li Fei cannot accept.

A battle that isn't entirely fair is better left to me to handle.

In this respect, Li Fei was actually somewhat grateful to Wen Xuexian.

If the other party doesn't come up with a way to make him take on this karma for Ning Qingman, then he will probably find it difficult to stop Ning Qingman from taking action in the end.

After all, Ning Qingman was not his appendage; she had her own independent personality and pursuits.

As for killing Wen Xuexian first, not to mention that Ning Qingman would definitely stop her, even if she succeeded, it would only leave a permanent rift between Li Fei and Ning Qingman.

It's good like this now.

"Senior Wen, please—"

Li Fei extended his right hand, signaling to Wen Xuexian that she could draw her knife.

Wen Xuexian did not bring a knife.

She has never used a weapon since the day she abandoned her sword.

Like Ning Qingman, apart from the legendary level nine divine weapon, other weapons were meaningless to her.

Wen Xuexian stood quietly in place, without making any move. The entire world seemed to have transformed into her scabbard, and unparalleled sharpness accumulated between heaven and earth!

Suddenly, she moved.

It's hard to describe the Red Dust Pavilion Master's movements; they were neither fast nor slow. She raised her left arm and slashed at Li Fei in front of her with her left hand in a chop motion.

The moment she waved her arm, time lost its meaning.

A ray of clear light, like the rising moon, was not dazzling, yet it made everything around it pale in comparison.

Li Fei kept his promise and did not use the "Unique Idol" technique to resist the attack.

Then he realized that this was not a knife aimed at flesh—

The first time the student met Hao Yi at the Military Academy, he was nervous when he was being tested by Hao Yi.

The excitement of first encountering the implant [steel armor].

The anxiety of killing for the first time.

The resolute act of wielding the knife towards the Tiger Blade Gang's advisor...

He gradually became the Blue-Faced Demon, and then gradually became the Marquis of Jing'an.

Slay the barbarian king, conquer the grasslands.

Fight at the pinnacle, annihilate the westernmost point.

All the experiences, memories, emotions... all the images that constitute the root of "me" along the way, are now shimmering and shattering like reflections in a mirror or the moon in the water.

Unlike the Styx Ancestor's [River of Oblivion], Wen Xuexian's strike did not erase Li Fei's memories, but rather the 'Li Fei' within those memories!
Li Fei will still remember everything from the past, but he will forget what his emotions were at that time, why he was happy, and why he was angry.
He will forget why he made those choices in the first place, and it was those choices that truly made Li Fei who he is.

Without these, Li Fei will no longer know why he wields the sword, or what he does. With the past gone, he will lose his footing!
All that remained was the shell of a man named 'Li Fei'.

Without a doubt, this was the strongest strike Li Fei had ever encountered!

Faced with this blade, even protective energy, defensive techniques, martial arts domains, and even the Myriad Blood Beads that Li Fei relied on most—

All useless!
This knife is only for the heart.

Li Fei extended his right hand, forming a sword with his fingers, and thrust it out against the wind, not to parry, but to pierce the most obscure point in the flash of light—

Within the Hunyuan Sword Body, above the seven stars representing supernatural powers, a golden heart is beating powerfully.

This is Li Fei's Primordial Sword Heart!
In the battle of Cuiqing City, he broke through to the Dao Establishment Realm on the spot, allowing his flying sword body to undergo another transformation, turning into the Primordial Sword Body, and at the same time, he condensed the Primordial Sword Heart.

The Hunyuan Sword Body allows Li Fei to maintain a high degree of concentration and manifestation of his martial arts domain even in his normal state.

The Primordial Sword Heart represents the 'Dao' established by Li Fei, embodying all his spiritual will.

The Primordial Sword Body allowed Li Fei to possess a physique even stronger than that of a Martial Saint before reaching the peak of his power.

The Primordial Sword Heart gave Li Fei a Dao Heart far surpassing that of ordinary peak experts!

With this sword heart fully formed, Li Fei could withstand most mental attacks, making up for the weakness of the Myriad Blood Beads. Although Wen Xuexian's Heart-Questioning Slash was powerful, it was precisely testing the most core and most persistent aspect of the Primordial Sword Heart!
The invisible blade slashed past, and the Primordial Sword Heart paused for a moment.

The memories in Li Fei's mind were churning like boiling water, but they did not dissipate in the slightest, and the emotions within remained intense.

I have been practicing my principles all along, how could I forget them?
The Primordial Sword Heart seemed to have been cleansed of a layer of dust, and shone brightly!

On the other side, Wen Xuexian had just completed this strike:

"The first cut, forget the past."

Li Fei's eyes brightened, and he withdrew his sword finger, signaling Wen Xuexian to continue.

Almost exactly the same movements as before, this time the sword strike was magnificent and domineering!
The moment the blade flashed, the howling wind, the flying dust, and even the light piercing through the clouds all froze.

Only a single, horizontally slashing blade remained in the world; it did not take heads, but rather severed "existence."

This time, Li Fei didn't even have time to react. By the time he sensed the blade's light, it had already struck him!
He felt that his own 'present moment' was being stripped away and denied.

The golden-threaded jade scale armor he wore, the flowing blood, the implants in his body, his Dao foundation, his supernatural powers, his Primordial Sword Body... even the Primordial Sword Heart that had just played a crucial role, all became illusory and unreal before this strike!
This strike cuts off Li Fei's 'present'.

Now that he has been cut down, all is vanity. This is the most brutal strike, directly erasing all traces of Li Fei in the world at this moment!
Having withstood this blow without using any Dao principles to resist, Li Fei became an ordinary person in front of Wen Xuexian!

"No, not an ordinary person."

At this moment, when even the Primordial Sword Heart had vanished, Li Fei's mind plunged into a state of chaotic confusion, but one thing remained with him—

Ten Thousand Blood Beads!
Even though he lost his supernatural powers, his foundation in Tao, and all his strength, the Myriad Blood Pearl still followed Li Fei.

This is the 'present' that even Wen Xuexian cannot take away!
With his mind immersed in the Myriad Blood Pearl, Li Fei began to accumulate blood souls one by one, awakening blood soul techniques one by one. Little by little, he regained his Dao foundation, supernatural powers, and everything else.

The unparalleled sword intent swept across Li Fei's body, without harming him in the slightest, but it struck him like lightning, leaving him utterly shocked!
Seeing Li Fei's dazed expression, Wen Xuexian did not rush to deliver the next blow.

When she sensed Li Fei's aura returning to its peak from nothingness, her eyes shone even brighter:
"The second cut, now!"

Li Fei snapped out of his daze, and his gaze towards Wen Xuexian became more serious:

"One last cut, please!"

The four martial saints watching from the sidelines all showed solemn expressions after witnessing Wen Xuexian's first two strikes.

If they were to receive those two blows, even if they used the laws of the Dao, apart from Wenren Zheng, no one would dare say they could definitely withstand them!

Wen Xuexian had one last blow to make—

She opened her palm and swept her hand across, but no blade flashed.

There was no fanfare, no murderous intent, not even a ripple.

The first strike evoked memories of the past, a gentle yet deadly intent.

The second strike was magnificent and domineering, severing the present.

This third strike was ethereal and elusive, as if it didn't exist at all.

But as this strike was unleashed, Li Fei saw countless images once again:
Challenge Lin Tianyi, fight and win, and become the new number one in the world!

Lead the army to conquer the Western Continent, establish unprecedented achievements, and truly unify the world under the Great Blue Dynasty!
He retired from the martial world and traveled the world with Ning Qingman, seeking the Dao together.

The ultimate path leads to the pinnacle, where one takes that final step and ascends to the very top!

Triumph, seclusion, enlightenment, love and hate, madness... countless possibilities and countless paths unfolded before Li Fei's eyes like a dazzling galaxy.

Wen Xuexian's strike severed the entire Milky Way!

Wherever the sword's intent is directed, all futures become deathly still, and all possibilities return to nothingness.

Without a future, all struggles, hopes, and fears lose their meaning.

The person is not dead, but the heart is dead. This is a more thorough and terrifying 'severance' than killing!
"The third strike, annihilate the future!"

Wen Xuexian's voice echoed in Li Fei's mind.

First, tarnish the past, then severely damage the present, and finally sever the future completely!
After these three strikes, all of Li Fei's causal ties with this world were severed. To this world, he was a person who had never existed and should disappear and be annihilated on the spot!

This is the Dao principle of Wen Xuexian, the Pavilion Master of the Red Dust Pavilion, and it shares the same name as her nickname—

Severing ties with the mortal world!
This is a principle that can sever cause and effect, allowing you to directly attack your opponent from the perspective of cause and effect.

After receiving Wen Xuexian's third strike, Li Fei became increasingly faint and ethereal in the perception of the four martial saints around him.

His mind was enveloped by the immense sword intent, and was being gradually stripped away from this world!
But two threads of cause and effect still tightly bound him, preventing him from completely losing his way—

The Primordial Sword Heart of the Past!
Now, the Myriad Blood Beads!
Because Li Fei survived the 'Slash of the Past' with the help of the Primordial Sword Heart, and gradually regained himself with the help of the Myriad Blood Pearl in the 'Slash of the Present', he was not completely severed from cause and effect when facing the 'Slash of the Future'.

"I am undoubtedly a lucky one to have obtained the Myriad Blood Pearl. But the reason I am who I am today is not just because of the Myriad Blood Pearl. It is also because of all my choices, those seemingly foolish perseverances, the paths I have walked, and the roads I have traveled. With these, I can firmly move towards the future!"

Li Fei slowly opened his eyes.

He seemed to transform from a fading phantom into the most vibrant stroke on a white sheet of rice paper!
Wenren's eyes widened, Ning Qingman showed a look of surprise, while Zuo Jun and Wang Chengze looked puzzled.

Although Li Fei's aura did not increase, his presence suddenly became much stronger, as if he had become the center of the entire world!
Zuo Jun and Wang Chengze, who had just entered the realm of Martial Saint, did not understand, but Wenren Zheng and Ning Qingman could see it clearly. This was a sign that Li Fei's connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth had deepened!

The power of the Dao principles of top-tier experts is formed by absorbing the primordial energy of heaven and earth through their Dao foundation, combining it with their own 'essence, qi, spirit' and life origin, and finally injecting it into the Dao principles.

After breaking through to the top, the cultivation of Dao Foundation, Divine Power, and Martial Dao Domain reaches its limit, and it is impossible to increase it even slightly.

Therefore, the only way to enhance the power of the Dao is to strengthen the connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, so that one's own Dao can leave a deeper 'imprint' on the Great Dao.

This is not something that can be achieved through arduous training, which is why many top experts struggle to make any progress even after decades.

Now, Li Fei's connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth has deepened considerably, which is equivalent to his cultivation level suddenly increasing by a significant amount!
"Impressive, I admire you, thank you."

After calming himself down, Li Fei bowed to Wen Xuexian.

He was confident that he could withstand three blows from Wen Xuexian before challenging Lin Tianyi because he was about to upgrade his Myriad Blood Pearl, so even if he suffered some damage, it wouldn't matter.

Unexpectedly, Wen Xuexian's three strikes did not cause him any real damage. He didn't even lose a single blood soul, and he almost died!
In the end, they underestimated the heroes of the world.

Li Fei believed that even if Lin Tianyi didn't use the Dao principles, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand Wen Xuexian's three strikes.

After all, Lin Tianyi didn't have the Myriad Blood Beads...

Even if Lin Tianyi uses the Dao Laws, if Wen Xuexian is given a good enough opportunity and sufficient preparation, she might even have a chance to severely injure Lin Tianyi!

The reason Li Fei was grateful to Wen Xuexian was because there were deliberate gaps between her three strikes, which allowed him to more easily deflect the attacks and break free from the intent of the blade.

After the three strikes, Li Fei completely connected with his past, present, and future, and deepened his connection with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth. This is the reason for his increased cultivation.

"You can take these three blows on your own merits, no need for thanks."

Wen Xuexian's tone returned to its usual calm.

Li Fei's presence was so strong just now that it overshadowed the changes in her.

At this moment, Wenren and Ning Qingman looked at her and noticed the difference in her.

Clearly, after severing the karmic ties left behind, the cultivation level of this Red Dust Pavilion Master has also increased!
"Qingman".

Wen Xuexian looked at Ning Qingman behind her and said, "From now on, our fates are over. The road ahead is long, I hope you take care."

After saying that, she returned Li Fei's greeting and then turned and left.

Ning Qingman looked at the other person's back with a complicated expression, and finally took a deep breath and bowed to the back of the other person.

Only then did those martial arts practitioners who had been hiding far away realize that the battle was over.

The previous battle between Ning Qingman and Wu Hui Zhenjun was so fierce that the sky darkened and strange phenomena covered a hundred miles, which made people's hearts tremble.

Everyone thought that the battle between Li Fei, who was stronger, and the Pavilion Master of the Red Dust Pavilion would be even more spectacular and thrilling than before!

But unexpectedly, it turned out to be all bark and no bite?
The stunning beauty of Wen Xuexian's three strikes can only be understood by those who have reached the pinnacle, and only Li Fei, who personally experienced them, can comprehend the immense terror hidden within.

To outsiders, it is naturally unremarkable and shrouded in mystery.

"Father, is the Duke of Jing'an going to challenge the Master of Tianyi Pavilion next?"

The little girl who had asked Gong Chang questions earlier left the teahouse with her parents and watched from afar where Li Fei and the others were from a hillside.

"Yeah, I don't think anyone will cause trouble again."

The little girl's father patted his daughter's head and said uncertainly.

The little girl looked up at him: "Didn't they say that to challenge the Lord of Tianyi Tower, we must first climb to the top of Tianyi Tower? We can't even climb Mount Yu, how are we supposed to watch this battle?"

Her father gave a wry smile, unsure how to respond.

Yes, these people were just here to join in the fun. They were already very lucky to have seen two rare top-level battles. Could they really expect to see the final battle?
Even those who witnessed Li Fei's battle with the Lord of the Red Dust Pavilion were completely bewildered. Their prediction for Li Fei's upcoming battle with the world's number one in the Heavenly One Tower might be so subtle that not a sound could be heard.

These people probably don't even know when the fight ended or when the other side left, and can only wait here foolishly.

Just as the father was about to say a few words of comfort to his daughter, Li Fei's voice rang out for the second time:

"Li Fei has come to Yushan, requesting that the Master of Tianyi Pavilion come out for a battle!!!"
