NOVPUBChapter 429 -117: Slaying the Moon (7K+ Request for Monthly Ticket)_3
He internalized the “Red Sound Fire Vajra Phase,” breaking free from the mental influence of [Moon Defect].
All of this occurred in the world of consciousness, which seemed prolonged but was actually just a moment in the real world:
The two collided, and Gu Yufeng swung his sword at Li Fei’s neck.
Li Fei’s use of Tao Power was still inferior to Gu Yufeng’s, as his realm simply wasn’t high enough. Even though he used the “Red Sound Fire Vajra Phase” to break free from the mental imprisonment of [Moon Defect], he was still half a beat too slow.
When the blade-edge cut the skin on his neck, he barely had time to react, pushing his Dark Vajra Force to its limit and barely using the Ghost Slash Blade to fend off the sword.
At the same time, a fierce Sword Qi broke through Li Fei’s Scale Armor, leaving a long slash from his left shoulder to his right abdomen!
“Good.”
In the stands, Nolan Zhi secretly nodded.
To him, this [Moon Defect] from Gu Yufeng was divine and complete, with the “essence, Qi, divine” all at their peak—nearly a perfect sword strike!
Regrettably, it still wasn’t enough to cut down the Green-faced Ghost.
“Is he that difficult to kill?”
A trace of gloom emerged in Nolan Zhi’s heart.
On the field, after releasing a [Moon Defect], Gu Yufeng’s power was spent, and he needed to “Qi Exchange.”
Li Fei seized the opportunity to push aside his opponent’s sword at his neck, pushing the blade forward and slashing back.
But a wave of sonic power, just like Sword Qi, struck the Ghost Slash Blade, halting Li Fei’s attack.
Gu Yufeng took the opportunity to retreat, extending the distance and successfully completing “Qi Exchange,” restoring his power to its peak. 𝔫𝖔𝖛𝖕𝖚𝔟.𝖈𝖔𝔪
Following that, the two almost simultaneously chose to distance themselves then charged at each other again!
The pale white sword light once again enveloped Li Fei.
Just as before, under the influence of [Moon Defect], Li Fei only had time to use the Ghost Slash Blade to fend off the blade aimed at his neck, without extra energy to invoke more Protective Force and was struck by the Sword Qi.
The Sword Qi followed the same trajectory as before, entering through the cracks in the Scale Armor and striking the same slash on Li Fei’s body.
This time, the damage was even greater!
After the strike, using the sonic attack to buy himself time, Gu Yufeng calmly completed “Qi Exchange” and then delivered another sword strike.
Li Fei, with a calm gaze, repeatedly clashed head-on with Gu Yufeng.
After being hit by [Moon Defect] three times, the wound on his chest only seemed to deepen a bit.
Having used [Moon Defect] three times consecutively, Gu Yufeng’s exhaustion was significant; finally, he switched techniques, employing [Moon Presence].
[Moon Presence]’s mental attack was intercepted by the Myriad Blood Pearl. No longer affected, Li Fei decisively used Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant, unleashing power beyond his limits!
Their fourth collision: Gu Yufeng’s Sword Qi still broke through Li Fei’s Protective Force, striking his body, but the overwhelming force from the Ghost Slash Blade pushed his longsword back, ultimately cutting into his left shoulder, piercing through his Fifth Level Protective Clothing, and cutting into the flesh.
Gu Yufeng used the momentum to retreat.
Though his power was stronger, he was the one being pushed back in the direct collision.
This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.
“What tremendous bodily strength!”
He looked at Li Fei with a look of surprise.
His defensive power and physical strength were astonishing; he was practically a human-shaped Exotic Beast!
And yet he was an Exotic Beast skilled in Martial Arts…
Li Fei initiated the fifth head-on collision, and Gu Yufeng didn’t back down, charging forward again.
This time, Gu Yufeng did not try to match blades with Li Fei. His longsword first blocked the middle of the Ghost Slash Blade, shaking with force to deviate the blade from his vital points.
Then, he no longer cared about the blade but stabbed straight toward Li Fei’s head!
Li Fei continued his forward blade momentum, the blade pressing downward, keeping the back half of the longsword suppressed, similarly using force to divert the sword from its original path.
Eventually, the Ghost Slash Blade struck near Gu Yufeng’s right shoulder close to his neck, the blade cutting through the external Protective Force, then piercing through the Fifth Level Protective Clothing, and finally cutting into the flesh.
The flesh again turned into a presence like withered wood, while a robust force wrapped around the blade, slowing its movement.
Meanwhile, Gu Yufeng’s longsword directed at Li Fei’s head ultimately stabbed into his chest.
This sword also first broke through the Dark Vajra Force, then pierced the Scale Armor, and continued through the skin and muscles, ultimately feeling like it was stopped by a piece of refined iron.
Gu Yufeng retreated to avoid being cut deeper by the Ghost Slash Blade.
The force on the blade was too strong; even the triple defense of Protective Force + Fifth Level Protective Clothing + Withered Wood Spring could not fully stop it.
The two quickly began another round of exchange.
This time, Li Fei raised his blade toward Gu Yufeng’s neck, while Gu Yufeng sidestepped, simultaneously striking the side of the blade with his sword.
Ultimately, the blade cut into Gu Yufeng’s right ribs, while he also stabbed Li Fei’s left shoulder.
Gu Yufeng retreated then charged again.
Following that, the two engaged in an attack-versus-attack showdown.
Just avoiding letting the opponent’s attacks hit one’s vital points, everything else unheeded!
Gu Yufeng relied on his Core Level Extraordinary Ability, “Withered Wood Spring,” to bear the injuries. Although struck repeatedly, each time the slash went through the flesh, the wounds were minor and quickly healed.
As for Li Fei, the outward appearance of his injuries showed just some torn skin and blood, except for the one on his chest from [Moon Defect]; the rest were merely superficial!
After about seven or eight exchanges, Li Fei’s blade suddenly swung empty, as Gu Yufeng’s right half turned into shattered ripples, though his real body had already completed a sidestepping dodge.
