Chapter 236: Chapter 21: Flying Sword, The Final Lesson
Before Li Fei and Chen Xiang entered the Earth Martial Arts Hall, an elder clad in black silk walked into a teahouse near the martial arts hall, holding a golden nanmu cane and accompanied by a powerfully built attendant.
The elder looked every bit a wealthy man, enthusiastically greeted by the server and led to a private room by the window, where he was served a pot of fine tea.
For the next while, the elder leisurely sipped tea by the window, his attendant standing quietly by his side.
Once Li Fei and Chen Xiang entered the hall, the elder slowly closed his eyes.
When Teng Zhe suddenly tried to kill Li Fei, grabbing his neck, the elderly man in the teahouse also sharply opened his eyes, a flash of light passing through them!
Inside the Earth Martial Arts Hall, Che Haochuan tried to come to Li Fei’s aid but was stopped by Chen Xiang.
Che Haochuan was both shocked and furious, his heart sinking rapidly.
It would only take a moment for Teng Zhe to snap Li Fei’s neck, and with Chen Xiang’s interference, no one could save Li Fei.
Even if there was a Tao Foundation Stage expert nearby, they wouldn’t have time to save Li Fei.
However, there’s a force in this world that can traverse vast distances in the blink of an eye, and that is the power of magic!
In that instant, the Fourth Level Protective Clothing hidden under Li Fei’s clothes suddenly lit up, followed by a powerful magic fluctuation erupting from it.
The Fourth Level Protective Clothing provided by the Inspection General Office was a double safeguard for Li Fei, with not only its own protective effects but also magical symbols etched into it.
The elderly man in the teahouse relied on the symbols on the Protective Clothing to sense the situation within the martial arts hall, deciding when to take action.
Moreover, he could cast spells remotely by using the symbols on the Protective Clothing!
The affected Teng Zhe stiffened, his eyes bulging with a look of extreme terror, as if he had suddenly seen something horrifying.
His hand, which was gripping Li Fei’s neck, instantly retracted.
Li Fei took advantage of the opportunity to kick Teng Zhe and stand up again.
Chen Xiang recognized the magic from a distance.
It was a secret technique exclusive to the Righteous Court, as effective for area attacks, influencing many, as it was for single-target attacks against a specific target.
Chen Xiang roared like thunder, his powerful aura instantly filling the entire venue, as though an enormous iron pillar had suddenly appeared inside.
While roaring, he continued to use his Force to block Che Haochuan.
Now all he could hope for was that Teng Zhe would make another move.
Under the influence of the Horror Technique and stimulated by Chen Xiang’s powerful aura, Teng Zhe quickly snapped back to his senses.
He looked at Li Fei, who had just steadied himself, with a flash of resolve in his eyes.
The next second, his body fat began to “burn,” visibly slimming him down at a rate discernible to the naked eye!
Unreservedly employing “Burning Fat,” he burned himself to the bone!
Years of stored fat converted into strength, Teng Zhe slammed his palm onto the floor, leaping towards Li Fei.
Streaks of Earth Gang Qi burst forth from him like chains binding Li Fei and pulling him towards Teng Zhe.
With such a desperate outburst, Teng Zhe’s Innate Qi had now the force of Force!
“Even if you are Wuda’s peerless genius, at this distance, grappling is king. You can only be defeated again!”
Teng Zhe roared in his heart as he grabbed Li Fei’s arm again, his arms flexing with strength as the Earth Gang Qi also pulsed with effort.
However, this time… Li Fei stood still, unflinchingly.
Teng Zhe’s eyes showed surprise.
The next second, an overwhelming power burst forth from Li Fei’s body!
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang—
The “chains” wrapped around Li Fei started to break one by one, and then he lifted Teng Zhe off the ground!
Turning around, twisting his waist, swinging his arm, he slammed Teng Zhe down hard—
The venue shook once more.
Almost the exact same scene as before, only this time, their positions were reversed!
Teng Zhe was slammed hard onto the ground by Li Fei, the floor cracking and caving in, creating an even bigger pit.
Teng Zhe spat out a mouthful of blood, his mind going blank.
He couldn’t understand why the victory had suddenly turned, considering he had just won.
He looked towards Li Fei, only to see a pair of calm eyes.
He reflexively reached out to grab Li Fei but grasped at nothing.
Li Fei turned and dashed toward the door as if he had defeated an insignificant opponent, without giving him a second glance.
Teng Zhe spat out another mouthful of blood.
On the other side, seeing Li Fei break free and throw Teng Zhe to the ground, Chen Xiang knew the tide had turned and immediately turned to run outside without hesitation.
As soon as he dashed through the hall’s main entrance and into the courtyard, a sword light came straight at him.
It was a tiny Flying Sword, only a foot in length and with no handle!
The Flying Sword had flown from the teahouse near the Earth Martial Arts Hall, crossing a few hundred meters in an instant, accompanied by a piercing sound as it entered the martial arts hall.
The elderly man in the teahouse, who looked like a wealthy man, was a Great Mage at the Possession Stage!
Unlike Zhao Yu of the Calming Sect, this old man had cultivated a Flying Sword as his Magic Artifact after entering the Possession Stage. He had implanted a variety of Implants into the blade, allowing him to remotely control the Flying Sword and even to make it speed like a bullet!
