Murong Yuanqing was feeling anxious. He tried calling Li Yifei, but the call couldn’t be connected. It was urgent and he needed to find him, but unfortunately, Li Yifei was in a life-and-death battle at that moment, naturally unable to answer the phone, and he had even turned off his phone beforehand.
Hence, Li Yifei had no idea Murong Yuanqing was trying to call. At this moment, Li Yifei was incredibly focused, reacting swiftly. Within a few breaths, he had already battled Ma Xingyun through nearly ten rounds. Feeling Ma Xingyun’s resolve to kill, Li Yifei’s demeanor also became more serious.
Most of the time, Li Yifei was a gentleman, not actively seeking trouble. But whenever someone did, he would retaliate, adhering to the concept: if people do not provoke me, I shall not provoke them; if people provoke me, I shall retaliate. If I’m minding my own business, not causing trouble, yet you come running wanting to fight, it’s really excessive. Therefore, teaching you a lesson is justified.
The situation now is similar. Ma Xingyun, possessing high cultivation, lacked the sense of propriety and negotiation skills, was unruly and brought no benefits to society. Moreover, he was involved in treacherous activities, which crossed Li Yifei’s personal line. In his view, betrayal of the country is intolerable. Even if it was his family who did such things, Li Yifei would investigate thoroughly and take responsibility, punishing those involved.
Hence, his intention to kill surged, regardless of Ma Xingyun’s condition, Li Yifei was going all out.
The point of their encounter resonated with the sound of the wind, causing the earth to shake, thrilling those watching while maintaining utmost calmness. So this is how an actual duel between experts unfolds, generating such imagination!
With a gust, Li Yifei pushed out his palm, not limited to mere fist techniques, as it was one of his many skills. As a versatile attacker, Li Yifei’s palm techniques, leg techniques, his body’s various skills were top-notch. It’s safe to say that every part capable of killing, even if he wasn’t particularly proficient, he was undoubtedly skilled.
Meanwhile, Ma Xingyun, after all, was a favored child of his family, pampered from a young age. In a life-and-death battle, he might not be as formidable.
One having countless real battles, while the other appearing to have a lot, but actually not much, meaning even with cheats he could still be defeated.
For instance, right now, Li Yifei secretly counted the places he was struck, totaling four, none were fatal even though some were at the chest. But enhanced with True Qi, they could be neutralized within a few breaths. The opponent, however, took six hits, two of which were remarkably cunning and fierce, causing a pit in steel.
So Ma Xingyun clutched his chest, showing a surprised expression, as a tide of pain rushed, causing him to feel blood sweet at his throat and spit it out.
The black blood proving he indeed suffered a hidden loss in the recent exchange. Ma Xingyun stared at the blood on the ground in a daze, a few seconds later he abruptly looked up, his cold eyes fixed on Li Yifei, hoarsely stating: "How dare you wound me!"
"Is it surprising? Haha!" Li Yifei tightened his right fist, then released it, tightening again. After repeating this several times, he was contemplating whether to condense a True Qi Blade, even though the opponent was using cheats, he hadn’t used a weapon, so if Li Yifei used one first, it might be criticized...
"Fine, very good, I admit I indeed underestimated you, thinking you were merely famous without substance, thus suffered loss. But from now on, I won’t be careless, I will treat you as a real enemy, I will exert my full force..." Before Ma Xingyun finished, Li Yifei impatiently raised his hand, interrupting: "A real enemy? No, you’re overthinking. I don’t consider you an enemy, at most you’re just an ordinary opponent."
"You!" Ma Xingyun’s breath halted, his eyes widened, showing plenty of red vessels.
Li Yifei couldn’t care less, as he said, he wasn’t afraid of the opponent at all. Initially, there was some worry, but since the opponent’s displayed power didn’t match his intelligence, Li Yifei wasn’t as concerned.
If Li Yifei had the Formation Center’s enhancement, he would have excelled, making Ma Xingyun irrelevant!
The more belittling Li Yifei appeared, the more Ma Xingyun’s anger surged. Yet even with formation enhancements, he couldn’t defeat the opponent. Was today going to end like this? That would mean bringing disgrace upon himself, living in shadow thereafter.
Ma Xingyun internally screamed: "No, this can’t happen. I must kill him, I must kill him!"
Voicing this, he resolutely made a decision, reached into his chest, retrieved the jade pendant, once more activated the formation method, drew upon the Formation Eye, communicating with the Great Formation, attempting to enhance further.
Between the two fighting desperately, one side suddenly wants to cheat and charge up, which is simply laughable unless you can do it at the fastest speed; otherwise, how could the opponent possibly give you time for cheating, the opponent isn’t stupid. Ma Xingyun did just that, even though he was fast, activating the Formation Method and infusing Spirit Qi still took time. During this time, if Li Yifei wanted to attack, he could have done it dozens of times.
However, Li Yifei didn’t. Does the other side still want to become stronger? This kind of forced enhancement of cultivation, even if effective, would greatly affect himself, and he might even suffer long-term backlash. The reason Li Yifei didn’t stop him was... he wanted to challenge himself further. If the opponent could become stronger in this way, then why not try again, since he had just proven who was stronger.
So let’s challenge once more, Li Yifei encouraged himself. Moreover, he didn’t believe the opponent could recklessly keep forcefully enhancing himself. Everything has a price; otherwise, wouldn’t the Ma Family have dominated the nation already?
Therefore, Li Yifei quietly waited for the opponent’s enhancement, not intending to deliberately sabotage, while also observing Ma Xingyun’s changes. He saw Ma Xingyun’s hair standing up, as if electrocuted, his face red and purple with a distinct sense of blood surging. Around his body was a different aura, oh, it was the stench of blood. Li Yifei clearly saw some blood seeping from Ma Xingyun’s skin, coagulating into droplets that hovered without falling, incredibly bizarre.
Sure enough, consequences have begun to appear, Li Yifei nodded secretly, realizing his guess was correct. So even if the opponent could still become stronger, Li Yifei didn’t think he would be in too much danger.
The people from Ma Village finally couldn’t bear it. They wanted to rush over and stop Ma Xingyun. Withstanding a single infusion from the Formation was bearable, but the second infusion... that was deadly. When the ancestors established this Formation, they explicitly stated that a second infusion was not allowed unless the family was facing extermination, threatening to collapse at any moment, and the Formation Master was prepared to die for the family; only then would a second infusion be permitted, because the price was too great, very likely leading to death from the physical strain.
Even an Innate Expert couldn’t withstand it. The Great Formation mobilizes the power of heaven and earth, an unrivaled force. Forcibly infusing the body’s True Qi is like filling a gas cylinder with natural gas. If the cylinder is steel, it can withstand great pressure, but if it’s made of wood? Regardless of how well sealed it is, due to the material it cannot withstand it, reaching a certain pressure the wooden barrel would explode.
For Ma Xingyun, it’s the same. No matter how strong his body is, he’s ultimately only at the level of an Innate Expert, far beyond ordinary cultivators, yet still not very profound. Enduring double infusion is extremely dangerous, not to be attempted lightly.
However, he still attempted it; to defeat Li Yifei, to kill him, Ma Xingyun disregarded everything, rationality was zero for him. Ma Xingyun would never allow himself to fail, that was his pride. If he failed, he would consider suicide in minutes.
A strong person must first be strong in heart, able to withstand various blows, otherwise even the strongest person is ultimately underdeveloped.
Ma Xingyun forcibly augmented the True Qi within his body, infusing it throughout, his body reacted now, a large amount of Spirit Qi surged into his body, forcibly widening his meridians, so he felt intense pain all over.
"Young Master, you can’t do this!" a subordinate couldn’t help shouting.
An uncle from Ma Village even tried to walk over to stop Ma Xingyun, unfortunately, after just a few steps, he was pushed back by roaring energy. Within these dozens of meters where Li Yifei and Ma Xingyun were fighting, it had become an extremely dangerous battlefield, where ordinary people or living beings entering would be absolutely perilous.
"Xingyun, disperse the Great Formation quickly, if you continue, you won’t be able to withstand it and will blow up!" The uncle could not get close, could only shout.
However, Ma Xingyun was already bloodthirsty, his eyes fiercely fixed on Li Yifei, ignoring everyone else. When the True Qi infusion was complete, as Ma Xingyun began to speak, wisps of white steam emitted from his five orifices, proving the violent power he wielded at this moment.
"You, must die!" Ma Xingyun stepped forward, as his foot landed the ground shook, as if he weighed thousands of pounds now.
Li Yifei grinned unbothered, then heard Ma Xingyun continue self-absorbedly saying: "I will let you taste the flavor of power."
This was too much for Li Yifei. He contemptuously said, "Augmenting your power with external force, could you consider it your own strength? Ridiculous, Ma Xingyun, don’t act like a clown, that way you won’t earn respect; instead, people will look down on you even more!"
"You! Let’s fight then, I’ll show you what real power is."
"I’ll show you that even if you turn yourself into a roast lobster, you will still lose, you’re not my opponent, you weren’t before, and you aren’t now!" Li Yifei said mercilessly.
