NOVPUBChapter 430 -117: Slaying the Moon (7K+ Seeking Monthly Tickets)_4
Gu Yufeng, while launching an “Illusion Heart” attack against Li Fei, began to cast “Moon in the Well” to create illusions.
This time he made his illusion cling close to himself, using slight movements to dodge Li Fei’s attacks.
This is where his realm excels over Guan Haixuan.
Guan Haixuan could only exert one kind of Tao Power at a time, but Gu Yufeng could simultaneously exert two!
Not only that, a relentless barrage of sonic attacks also continuously assaulted Li Fei.
Moreover, the force behind Gu Yufeng’s sword strikes kept on increasing!
Sound Killing, Illusion Heart, Flame Mountain, Withered Wood Spring.
Besides the two kinds of Tao Power, Gu Yufeng’s four core-level extraordinary abilities were also activated simultaneously!
In this state, he had unleashed his entire combat power!
Li Fei began to fall behind in such a clash; Gu Yufeng would land three sword strikes for every solid blow Li Fei managed to land on him.
However, Li Fei’s eyes remained as calm as an ancient well.
As time passed, the force behind Gu Yufeng’s sword strikes visibly weakened.
The energy stored by “Flame Mountain” was the first to be depleted!
The decrease in strength forced Gu Yufeng to divert more force to fend off Li Fei’s Blade Slashes, or the blade would directly hit his vitals, causing more severe injuries.
But he was also maintaining two kinds of Tao Power at the same time, which, when divided further, intensified the drain on his spirit.
Soon, Gu Yufeng stopped using “Moon in the Well” and “Illusion Heart” to reduce the consumption of his spirit.
But as a result, the number of times he was struck by Li Fei increased, and the usage of Withered Wood Spring went up, significantly accelerating the Implant’s depletion.
Gradually, the wounds on Gu Yufeng’s body healed slower and slower. Some injuries had not fully recovered before being struck again by Li Fei, worsening his condition…
The two continued to exchange blows in a blood-fueled struggle for nearly five minutes!
Maintaining the “Blood Demon State” for five minutes exhausted 25 Blood Souls; using “Blood Rage” twice, which could last three minutes each time, depleted 46 Blood Souls.
Adding the consumption from “Blood Slaughter” and the damage to himself caused by overexerting his power, Li Fei actively used up 176 Blood Souls.
Meanwhile, during these five minutes, Gu Yufeng had eroded 249 Blood Souls from him!
Because of the consecutive battles prior, the Blood Souls within Li Fei’s Blood Spring had continuously been depleting, so before the battle started today, he only had 372 Blood Souls stored in his Blood Spring.
Now, there are only 5 Blood Souls left inside Li Fei’s Myriad Blood Pearl and 105 Blood Souls remaining in his Blood Spring.
As for Gu Yufeng,
he could not hold on any longer…
In the stands, Nolan Zhi was ready to intervene and rescue.
It had been agreed that it was a fight to the death, with each responsible for their own life or death; his interference would definitely affect the reputation of Green Mountain Sword Sect and his own.
But Gu Yufeng was a sure bet to become a Martial Arts Master, sacrificing a bit of reputation to save a future Martial Arts Master for the Sect was a no-brainer!
There were two Martial Arts Masters present today; Nolan Zhi had achieved his Breakthrough before Wuda’s vice-chancellor, Fang Guan, and was stronger. If he decided to take action, he was confident that Fang Guan wouldn’t be able to stop him.
However, just as Nolan Zhi was about to employ his Divine Skills, a vast force appeared out of nowhere and pressed down on him!
Nolan Zhi was shocked, his reflex to resist, but whether it was his force or Divine Skills, both were completely suppressed, leaving him immobile!
“Martial Arts Domain?”
Nolan Zhi’s complexion changed dramatically.
Seated, he felt as if the whole heaven and earth were suppressing him!
Yet, the Tao Foundation Stage powerhouses beside him were completely unaware, not noticing anything unusual.
Only Fang Guan, among the spectators, glanced in this direction and cast a sympathetic look.
“Arriving at Wuda, you must abide by the rules. It was agreed to be a life-and-death battle, so you have the audacity to interfere?”
An old voice thundered in Nolan Zhi’s ears.
“Shi Caiming!”
Nolan Zhi clenched his teeth.
This old fellow, while not overtly present, was here after all!
The Grandmaster Realm was what Nolan Zhi had been pursuing; he thought he had understood it enough, having experienced being suppressed by the Martial Arts Domain when Xu Jing made his Breakthrough.
But it wasn’t until now that he realized there were significant differences even among Great Grandmasters!
While Nolan Zhi was being silently suppressed by Shi Caiming’s Martial Arts Domain, a change occurred in the battle below:
Gu Yufeng once again retreated voluntarily, but this time he did not continue to rush at Li Fei; instead, he concentrated all his “essence, qi, and spirit” and then began to ascend.
He was about to make his Breakthrough!
Gu Yufeng’s main purpose for coming to Datong Prefecture this time was aimed at achieving his Breakthrough.
His Cultivation had already reached perfection, and all he needed was an opportunity for a Breakthrough to attempt it.
Originally, he had planned to use his fight with Qin Zhen as the catalyst for his Breakthrough.
If he couldn’t defeat Qin Zhen, he would use the momentum to Breakthrough naturally.
If he defeated Qin Zhen, he would Breakthrough at his peak, which was even more advantageous.
Fighting Qin Zhen wasn’t a battle to the death, with Nolan Zhi “Protecting” nearby, there was no need to worry about safety during the Breakthrough.
But at this moment, Gu Yufeng was fighting Li Fei in a battle of life and death, and choosing to Breakthrough now.
It was a huge risk!
But Gu Yufeng had no other choice.
Without Breaking through, he would surely die!
A sharp Sword Intent shot into the sky, and Gu Yufeng was enveloped in a moon-white sword light, his entire being seemingly transformed into a full moon.
His “essence, Qi, spirit” began to elevate, the five Implants within his body started to melt, releasing their foundational power.
At this point, Gu Yufeng had half a foot in the Martial Arts Master Realm!
And all this was accomplished in an instant.
His accumulation was indeed sufficient!
Next, Gu Yufeng didn’t wait, but instead chose to Attack!
He stepped forward and thrust his sword at Li Fei.
Currently, all his focus was on the Breakthrough, so he couldn’t use Tao Power; he simply concentrated the immense force from the Breakthrough onto one point, directing it into his sword!
Nolan Zhi, firmly suppressed by the Martial Arts Domain, almost wanted to cheer loudly for Gu Yufeng upon witnessing this scene!
It was an exquisitely executed sword strike and the perfect choice amidst the battle!
Li Fei certainly wouldn’t stand idly by and let Gu Yufeng complete his Breakthrough, and Gu Yufeng was clear about that.
So he didn’t choose to wait, he intended to finish the Breakthrough during the attack!
Using the rising power from his Breakthrough, he directed a strike at Li Fei, and this concentration of power was conducive to the Breakthrough.
This one strike, whether it killed or repelled the enemy, would buy Gu Yufeng precious time.
After this sword strike, Gu Yufeng would smoothly complete his Breakthrough and become a Martial Arts Master!
The pure white sword light engulfed the entire Sports Venue, causing most people to lose their vision.
A bright moon collided with Li Fei!
In the stands, Qin Zhen’s gaze showed a slight trace of emotion.
Even he couldn’t defend against that sword strike from Gu Yufeng, powered by his Breakthrough.
In the arena, facing the moon rushing towards him, Li Fei gripped his Blade and dealt a straightforward Slash forward.
As he Slashed, the skin on Li Fei’s arms was the first to split open, spewing out copious amounts of blood.
Then, multiple bones throughout his body broke, and muscle tissues tore!
In that moment, his injuries were more severe than all the damage Gu Yufeng had inflicted upon him combined!
These were self-inflicted wounds, caused by “Blood Rage,” which meant the Myriad Blood Pearl couldn’t share the burden.
In theory, “Blood Rage” had no limit, as long as Li Fei’s body could endure it.
Under the “Blood Demon State,” the limit of “Blood Rage” was 23 Blood Souls.
But this was only the limit Li Fei’s body could withstand, not his actual limit.
At that moment, Li Fei used 35 Blood Souls to activate “Blood Rage”!
The strength far exceeding his limit surged from within, instantly causing him internal injuries.
But it didn’t stop there, right after, Li Fei activated the Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant!
35 Blood Souls, under the “Blood Demon State,” were equivalent to 70 Blood Souls, which were then doubled by the Vajra Seal·Dragon Elephant…
The moon collided, Li Fei wielded his Blade and chopped down.
The edge of the Blade cut into the moon, striking Gu Yufeng’s sword tip, bending the blade downwards, and ultimately, the Longsword flew out of Gu Yufeng’s hands.
Amidst Gu Yufeng’s astonished gaze, the Blade Slash landed on his body.
Within the Sports Venue, those Martial Artists who could keep their eyes open witnessed that once unbeatable bright moon being split in two by Li Fei…
