This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 116: Chapter 101: Murderous Intent Arises from All Directions_2

Now, in Xing City, all of the pieces that could pose a threat to him had been accounted for, leaving only the Green-faced Ghost still out of sight.

Although he no longer had any pieces to play with, could the Green-faced Ghost alone really penetrate the defenses of his convoy?

What’s more, a fake was ultimately just that—a fake. Those reserve teams that had been dispatched would immediately head towards Zhang Mingze’s location once they confirmed the false information, and by then, if the Green-faced Ghost did make a move, he would be trapped like a turtle in a jar!

…

Atop the Bell Tower, after sending out two messages in a row, Li Fei soon saw two convoys appearing, heading towards Kaiping District and Jin’an District, respectively.

He smiled slightly, it was finally his turn to step into the fray.

“You can start running for your life.”

Li Fei said to Xu Si and then leapt out of the Bell Tower with a bound, jumping out directly!

He held a rope in his hand, the other end of which had already been tied to a pillar on the top floor of the Bell Tower in advance.

After descending to a certain height, the rope in his hand suddenly tensed, and Li Fei used both hands to bring his body to a sudden halt in mid-air.

Then he turned in the air, facing the tower of the Bell Tower, kicked heavily against the iron wall with both legs, and leapt forth using the rebound.

On the street below the Bell Tower, pedestrians saw a figure leap from the tower and then, using a rope, swing over to the rooftop of a building on the opposite side of the street, eliciting exclamations of surprise.

Li Fei landed heavily on the eaves, smashing several tiles. He didn’t even bother to absorb the impact, and instead continued running, then, gauging the direction and distance, made another leap from one rooftop to another.

With the Steel Armor Implant continuing to enhance his body, his tolerance limit had also increased, so much so that he could now withstand the use of ‘Blood Rage’ with 7 Blood Souls!

At that moment, a surging force flowed through Li Fei’s body, a strength that had surpassed that of ‘Dragon General’ Ling Yong, the user of the “Tiger Stripe” Implant.

Utilizing this strength, Li Fei adopted the same method of travel as Yan Shouzun, leaping incessantly across rooftops, hurtling over streets in almost a straight line towards Zhang Mingze’s convoy!

Zhang Mingze’s speculation was not wrong; now, Li Fei truly had only himself, with no other forces to rely upon.

And he had to get to Zhang Mingze’s location and kill him before those several reserve teams returned, and then make a full retreat.

In fact, if Zhang Mingze had chosen not to send out his reserve teams and instead had them all return to defend and concentrate around himself, Li Fei would have no solution and would be forced to abandon the assassination attempt.

But if this Master Zhang would make such a choice, he wouldn’t have needed to set up this game from the beginning.

Li Fei was betting that the other side was confident enough to provide an opportunity.

Now, he had bet correctly.

So what was left was simple: charge in and kill the opponent!

At this moment, the location of the convoy was relatively close to the Bell Tower in a straight-line distance. Li Fei ran across the walls and with his powerful burst strength leaped out for vast distances each time, catching up with Zhang Mingze’s convoy in less than three minutes.

At this time, the reserve team that had been deployed to Qingyuan District had already confirmed the misinformation and had started to return.

…

Bang!

A thunderous explosion sounded as the stone pavement was shattered again, scattering debris.

Two figures separated.

One of them held a longsword that shimmered with golden light. This longsword was not a material object but was made of condensed force.

This person was none other than Yan Yichen, the Chief of Zhi Ge Court. He created a sword with Golden Stone Force that could pierce through ten millimeters of steel armor, and each of his movements packed more power than a bullet!

And naturally, the one he was fighting was Shangguan Xiao.

At this point, Shangguan Xiao’s black martial robe had been slashed in several places, revealing the dark red protective clothing underneath, which also bore several cuts.

Her green Evil Ghost mask had been shattered, exposing her true face.

Yan Yichen appeared even more disheveled than she was. Not only was his blue robe completely destroyed, his body, face, and even his head bore burnt marks, making him look dirtied and ash-covered. Where was the dignity befitting the Chief of Zhi Ge Court now?

Martial Artists already possessed speed and strength far beyond ordinary people, and martial masters augmented by Innate Qi could even demolish houses with their bare hands.

The destructive power of two Tao Foundation Stage experts was naturally even more terrifying. The stone-paved streets of the north of the city were filled with potholes, scattered with rubble, looking as if they had been bombed!

On the rooftops of the shops to the left and right of the street stood many people armed with firearms or Powerful Crossbows. These people were all Martial Artists, for only then did they possess sufficient reaction speed to aim and shoot.

However, for the most part, they couldn’t find an opportunity to shoot, only able to maintain deterrence from the periphery.

“Old man will definitely kill you today!”

Yan Yichen furiously stared at Shangguan Xiao in front of him and declared fiercely.

As soon as his words fell, he charged forward with his sword once again.

Not only that, but three registered martial masters and six early-stage Qi Change martial masters from Zhi Ge Court also surrounded her.

Defeating a Tao Foundation Stage expert and killing one were completely different matters.

That’s why Zhi Ge Court had almost completely mobilized their elite forces!

Ten against one, with dozens of shooters on the periphery, this was the situation Shangguan Xiao was facing.

But Shangguan Xiao did not seem panicked at all. As the crowd charged towards her again, she suddenly tossed a handful, and a large amount of white Lime Powder scattered all around!

“Lime Powder?”

Yan Yichen’s face showed shock as he effortlessly blew away the powder coming towards him, then sneered,

“You really are a dog driven to jump over a wall, ridiculous!”

However, in the next second, a violent wind erupted from around Shangguan Xiao, sending a large amount of white powder swirling through the air.

Despite their strength, Yan Yichen and the others inevitably inhaled some of the powder.

“Cough, cough, cough!”

A series of coughing sounds rose.

“Is it useful?!”

Yan Yichen roared and thrust his longsword at Shangguan Xiao, its golden light shimmering, concentrating the sword momentum capable of piercing through anything.

Meeting this thrust was a dazzling flash of electricity.

Boom—

A group of mighty fighters clashed once more, but it took only seconds for some to sense that something was amiss.

“Cough, cough, cough! She’s poisoned us!”

“The powder is poisonous!”

Several martial artists shouted.

This poison acted quickly and fiercely; even the robust physiques of the martial artists couldn’t prevent death but still left them struggling to breathe, their Qi-Blood churning, bodies itching, and feeling extremely uncomfortable!

“Shameless!”

One of the martial artists shouted while blood streamed from his nose.

Shangguan Xiao swung a palm at him, taking advantage of his Qi-Blood unrest, broke through his defense in one move, and sent him flying.

“Ten against one, and you have the audacity to call me shameless?”

Shangguan Xiao scoffed, turning around and striking another previously injured martial artist dead with one palm.

This poison was naturally given to her by Li Fei.

He concocted a brand-new Nether Spring Poison. Besides the pill form he himself took, there was also the powder form that Shangguan Xiao was using at this moment.

Combining the poison with lime powder was Li Fei’s alternative after failing to create a colorless and odorless poison.

The powdered poison was indeed more noticeable, but if it could be mistaken for lime powder, the opportunity for poisoning arose.

With the pill form of Nether Spring Poison, Li Fei aimed for the highest total toxicity to cause maximum bodily damage.

But with the powdered form, he aimed for the fiercest toxicity to take effect in the shortest time.

To ensure Shangguan Xiao’s safety, Li Fei handed over most of the powdered Nether Spring Poison he carried to her before their operation.

Her sudden use of it now, combined with her powerful force, indeed had a miraculous effect!

“Is it really this effective?”

Shangguan Xiao’s lips curved up, suddenly recalling a previous phone call with her senior brother when he had brought up Li Fei on his own.

Her senior brother had said that he was very satisfied with this new student he had accepted, describing him as honest, humble, polite, and brimming with integrity.

“I wonder what expression senior brother would have if he knew all this?”

Shangguan Xiao continued to spread the poison while letting out a loud laugh.

…

On the other side, Li Fei had already caught up with Zhang Mingze’s convoy.

He dared to come alone not just because of the Nether Spring Poison he carried but also because he had other sources of confidence.

Earlier, while still in the Bell Tower, the Myriad Blood Pearl had already absorbed enough energy to upgrade successfully:

[Rank: 9th level 1%

Blood Souls: 102

Blood Soul Skills: Blood Rage, Blood Slaughter

Transform Skill: Blood Demon]

After reaching the 9th level, his Blood Souls increased by 16, bringing the total number of Blood Souls possessed by Li Fei to over 100.

And just as he had predicted, the Myriad Blood Pearl unlocked new abilities this time.

Only, he hadn’t expected that it wouldn’t be Blood Soul Skills that were unlocked.

Instead, it was a Transform Skill—Blood Demon!
