This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

Gu Xianfeng looked down to see squads of soldiers clad in black heavy armor scaling the mountain at great speed.

The Imperial Camp Army at the foot of the mountain had started their ascent!

First, they set up the Four Symbols Star Constellation Sealing formation, and now they're letting the Imperial Camp Army climb up; the intention was quite evident.

Yet Gu Xianfeng couldn't fathom why Bian Jingru would truly make a move against the Iron Peak Sect.

He let out a roar, drawing the sword from his belt, and slashed towards the sky above his head.

A massive surge of blue clouds erupted, gathering into a pillar of vapor that climbed and charged upwards.

This pillar of clouds seemed like a support abutting heaven and earth, reaching the sky above and descending into the Nine Netherworld below, giving the impression of an endless extension filled with boundless power!

This was the unification of a Martial Artist's "essence," "Qi," and "spirit," a perfect combination of one's Qi-Blood, Force, and Mind Power.

Only with secret techniques like the "Vajra Eight Parts" could Li Fei execute such an attack. For a Martial Arts Master like Gu Xianfeng, 'the fusion of Qi and Force, Force and Intention, Intention and Qi' was natural in every move!

Such attacks had a strong countering effect on magic, causing the entire Four Symbols Star Constellation Sealing formation to tremble.

Gu Xianfeng chose to break the formation with full power immediately for he knew all too well that only if he survived could the Iron Peak Sect have a glimmer of hope!

As the Big Array was shaken, a sword light with unparalleled might came from the east, like a green dragon with bared fangs and dancing claws pouncing over.

Then from the west, the bronze drums began to beat furiously; countless wind blades converged into a semi-transparent fierce tiger that pounced in his direction.

From the south, the White Jade Ruler manipulated a sea of fire that coalesced into a gigantic bird swooping toward Gu Xianfeng.

In the north, innumerable frigid frost melted, appearing as towering waves that swept over with a large black turtle faintly visible within them.

Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, Black Tortoise!

The Four Symbols Star Constellation Sealing moved to trigger its strongest killer move, all to hold back Gu Xianfeng.

Surrounded by swirling blue clouds, Gu Xianfeng remained unfazed by the assault of the Four Symbols, continuing to direct the vast pillar of clouds to rise further.

At the foot of Iron Blade Mountain, the Deputy Head of the Righteous Law General Institute, Jiang Jin, sat in meditation with a circle of guards around him.

His eyes shut tight, his expression grew increasingly solemn.

With the Flying Sword as his Magic Artifact, which should be a peerless weapon for slaughter, the sword was affected by the Martial Arts Master's Sword Intent, Force, and yang energy of his Qi-Blood; the Implants attached to it became restless, significantly reducing its potency and failing to break through Gu Xianfeng's protective cloud Qi.

Before a Magic Artifact cultivated a True Spirit and became a Lifebound Magic Item, the way of magic was too suppressed by Martial Arts.

If no one else intervened today, even with Jiang Jin leading three Possession Stage Great Mages in setting up the formation in advance, they still wouldn't be able to stop Gu Xianfeng!

"Gu Xianfeng—"

Atop the mountain, a voice echoed throughout the Iron Peak Sect.

"What are you doing standing up so high?"

A figure appeared atop the Great Hall where Gu Xianfeng had been in seclusion, arriving unnoticed.

"Xu Jing!"

On the square below, Elder Wang raised his head to look at the newcomer, his face ashen.

Last time Wu'an University sent someone, it was Xu Jing; his Water Control Divine Power was the perfect counter to Gu Xianfeng's Cloud Ascension Divine Power. After a bout, Xu Jing emerged victorious.

Today, with Xu Jing's return and four Possession Stage Great Mages as reinforcement, there was no suspense about the outcome!

"Sect Leader Senior Brother, escape quickly—"

While shouting, Elder Wang took to the air, charging at full power towards Xu Jing on the top of the Great Hall.

He aimed to hold off Xu Jing to give Gu Xianfeng a chance to flee.

He was also very aware that in such a situation today, the Iron Peak Sect only had a glimmer of hope if Gu Xianfeng managed to escape.

A Martial Arts Master with the ability to fly, hiding on the outside, would make anyone wary!

Elder Wang was wrapped in dark golden Force like a shooting star crashing towards Xu Jing. Right before impact, he clapped his hands together, and a huge, dark golden blade spanning over ten meters coalesced, cleaving towards Xu Jing mid-air.

"I really gave you too much face."

Seeing Wang Elder lunging towards him, Xu Jing snorted with disdain.

He casually waved his hand, and a pale blue Force collided with the dark golden blade coming down.

In the next instant, the dark golden blade was covered in frost and then erupted in a shatter!

Elder Wang felt as if he had turned into a commoner, stripped naked and thrown into a world of ice and snow.

Everything before his eyes vanished, leaving only the boundless white snow.

The piercing chill made him forget everything, his blood almost frozen.

By the time he came to, he found that his blood had indeed frozen.

"Phew—"

Elder Wang spit out a mouthful of fresh blood, which turned into a clump of blood-red ice the moment it left his body.

The next second, blood-red ice spikes pierced out from all over Elder Wang's body, instantly turning him into a blood-red 'hedgehog'!

He looked at Xu Jing, so close at hand, and then fell powerlessly from the sky, ultimately crashing to the ground, dead.

A fourth-tier Tao Foundation Stage powerhouse couldn't even withstand a single move in front of Xu Jing.

This is the insurmountable chasm between the Tao Foundation Stage and Martial Arts Masters!

After dispatching Elder Wang with a single move, Xu Jing continued to look up at Gu Xianfeng in the sky, using his Water Control Divine Power to affect the other, trying to forcefully drag him down from the sky.

Meanwhile, the disciples of the Iron Blade Sect faced the greatest crisis in their history—

Squads of heavily armored soldiers wielding weapons from the Imperial Camp Army had charged to the top of the mountain and then shouted in unison:

"Iron Blade Sect has colluded with spies from the Western Countries, intending to rebel. Everyone must cease resistance immediately, or face death without mercy!"

These Imperial Camp Army soldiers totaled two hundred, the weakest among them were Martial Artists at the Body Breaking Stage.

If it were a matter of the number of Martial Artists alone, the disciples of the Iron Blade Sect combined would not be fewer in number than this Imperial Camp Army, but the true strength of the Imperial Camp lay in their Military Formation:

Over a hundred of them focused together, the heavy armor on their bodies and the weapons in their hands glowing with light, and then all of them swung their swords forward in unison.

The next second, an immensely overwhelming Sword Intent was generated, instantly sweeping across hundreds of meters of distance and descending upon dozens of Iron Blade Sect disciples.

The minds of these Iron Blade Sect disciples were greatly shaken, as if they had suffered a severe fright, turning pale and losing their will to fight.

Some knelt on both knees, while others rolled their eyes back, fainting on the spot.

This is the weapon of the Da Lan Dynasty that claimed dominion over the world—the Military Evil!

Hundreds of people used the Sha Qi on their bodies to unify their Mind Power and Spiritual Power in an instant, then unleashed it explosively.

The Military Evil is a power born from Magic and the Divine Intent of Martial Arts, or a perfect combination of the two, capable of manifesting itself as easily as Magic to affect matter, without being restrained by the 'essence,' 'Qi,' or 'spirit' of a Martial Artist.

The power of the Military Evil, unleashed by over a hundred members of the Imperial Camp forming a Military Formation, was not much weaker than the Sword Intent burst forth at full strength by Gu Xianfeng, a Martial Arts Master. Anyone below the Qi Change Stage simply couldn't bear it!

After the onslaught of the Military Evil, the disciples of the Iron Blade Sect had lost all morale and virtually gave up on resisting.

"Charge—"

The soldiers of the Imperial Camp began their assault.

In reality, they were all cavalry, with each person having an Exotic Beast, the Nightmare Green Horse, as their mount, but for the sake of scaling the mountain quickly, they had not ridden their mounts.

But even without their mounts, the charge of these Imperial Camp soldiers was still shockingly fast, like a black tide that swept in, instantly engulfing everything!

The Military Evil could affect the enemy's spirit outwardly while also affecting the soldiers' own bodies internally, granting the soldiers positive stimulation, with a massive increase in both speed and strength.

Within the Military Formation, under the stimulation of the Military Evil, Body Breaking Stage Martial Artists could exert the power of Qi Change Stage Martial Masters for a short time!

Therefore, although the disciples of the Iron Blade Sect seemed to be similar in number to the Imperial Camp Army, the actual power disparity between them was like heaven and earth!

After two hundred Imperial Camp Army soldiers ascended the mountain, it took them less than ten minutes to complete the sweep of the Iron Blade Sect.

None could withstand their blades!

Now, the only person left in the Iron Blade Sect who was still resisting was—

'Sword King' Gu Xianfeng.
