Chapter 322: 300 Killings, Chapter Four

Martial Arts Hall exit.

On the oval-shaped clearing, sensing that the situation was far from good, the large crowd gathered here began to retreat en masse, clearing out space.

Chen Zonghan and three Bagua Gate disciples watched with smiles as Li Chengyi stood less than five meters away.

Neither side spoke further; at this point, words had already lost their meaning.

Li Chengyi chose to destroy the protective barrier and leave.

Chen Zonghan had to seal the protective barrier for fifteen minutes, five of which had already passed, leaving ten more minutes.

The green and red light of the emergency lights cast long shadows of the people on both sides.

Everything seemed to fall into silence.

Despite the presence of at least hundreds of people around, no one made a sound at the moment.

A heavy, invisible pressure suffused the air over the field, making breathing difficult and weighing on people’s hearts.

"Xiaolou," the smile finally faded from Chen Zonghan’s face. "Since Li isn’t willing, then you handle it."

The disciple called Xiaolou, with narrow eyes and a horse-like face that bore a sinister quality, stepped forward upon receiving the order, emerging from the left side.

His gaze turned to Li Chengyi. Raising his right hand, he gripped a silver dagger no longer than a palm length in his palm.

The tail of the dagger also had faint blue light spraying out, evidently a Mini Feiyi.

In an environment where carrying any weapon was not allowed, a Feiyi was almost an overpowering weapon against anyone.

"Sorry." Xiaolou’s eyes narrowed even more, "If you give up resistance, I can go easy on you."

Li Chengyi didn’t respond. He simply moved his gaze slightly to look at him.

It was that one look.

Xiaolou was about to control the Feiyi to strike, when suddenly his vision blurred.

"!!??"

Where is he?!?!

Li Chengyi had vanished from his sight.

Hiss!

An oblique cut mysteriously appeared on his chest.

Blood sprayed out, staining the ground in front.

The severe pain and the weakness from rapid blood loss left Xiaolou utterly unable to comprehend what had just happened.

His body began to fall.

It was only on his way down that he caught a glimpse of a figure standing behind him using the corner of his eye.

Li Chengyi!!

’That person...’

’When did he...!?’

Thump.

The body hit the ground, split in two.

With a calm expression, Li Chengyi stood behind, turning to the suddenly changing faces of Chen Zonghan and the others.

He held the Golden Sword in one hand, pointing it obliquely at the ground, and in his other hand, he lightly pinched the Feiyi that Xiaolou had just held.

Crack.

The Feiyi snapped in half, sparking some electrical arcs before going completely dark.

"Begging for mercy?"

Standing nearly two meters tall, he loomed over the nearby Chen Zonghan.

Utter silence surrounded them.

The remaining spectators, contestants who hadn’t left the contest, the host Xiao Lei and the commentator—all were silent.

Even the remaining two disciples of Bagua Gate.

Everyone was stunned, having not seen clearly what had just happened.

They had no idea how Li Chengyi had made his move or how he had killed Xiaolou.

Only Chen Zonghan saw it clearly.

Shock, incomprehension.

Without a Feiyi, without a Modification Module, how had Li Chengyi unleashed such terrifying speed and power??!

This was the question looming in everyone’s mind at that moment.

Could someone really face off against a Feiyi with their bare body!?

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, nobody would believe the scene in front of them.

Yu Long gaped, recalling what Li Chengyi had told him earlier about entering the Dragon Realm three times.

At the time, although he was shocked, he could hardly appreciate the difference between three times in the Dragon Realm and a top-tier martial artist.

Until this very moment.

Only after he saw Li Chengyi kill a Feiyi Master like slaughtering a chicken and crush the Special Rainbow Iron alloy with his bare hands, did he realize...

The heights this disciple had reached were beyond his own comprehension.

"This is... the supreme realm that our Dragon Whisker Sect strives for... the Dragon Realm!"

He couldn’t help but groan.

Dragon Realm...

Yu Yanxiao and Zhuang Yijing, standing beside him, heard this term, came back to their senses amidst the shock, and understood its significance.

In the Dragon Whisker Sect, the theoretical ultimate realm that could break through the limits of the human body, even considered the strongest and most sacred realm pursued by all martial artists, was the Dragon Realm.

Different schools just had different names for it.

In essence, all were seeking the same goal through different paths.

"So... he’s already reached the highest realm!?" Zhuang Yijing muttered to himself, watching Li Chengyi’s silhouette with uncontrollable admiration and excitement in his eyes.

Their conversation, conspicuous in the silent environment, was soon overheard by those around them and began to spread.

Those who came to watch the intense contest knew a thing or two about the various martial arts schools, and upon realizing that Li Chengyi had stepped into the highest realm of martial arts schools,

The crowd erupted in excitement.

That was a realm that existed only in legends, reputed to enable one to break through their limits and enter another level of life—the most sacred realm!

And now, that realm was standing right in front of everyone, alive and tangible.

If the situation hadn’t been so exceptional, there would probably have been people rushing forward to ask Li Chengyi for an autograph already.

Chen Zonghan, standing at the center of the field, had a darkened expression, no longer relaxed and smiling as before.

He stared at Li Chengyi, as if re-acquainting himself with the man who united the Garden of Fate before him.

"It’s been many years since anyone dared to say such things in front of me..." Diamond-shaped blue crystals began to light up, descending from the sides of his cheeks.

The remaining Bagua Gate disciples quickly retreated behind him, making space.

"It doesn’t matter whether you’re in the Dragon Realm or whatever other realm," Chen Zonghan slowly drew a blue-black Crescent Moon Scythe from his large sleeve.

The scythe had no hilt but was embedded with three deep blue gemstones in the middle.

Ripples like waves surrounded the gemstones on the blade, with fine red sparks occasionally flashing by.

"Today..."

The Crescent Moon Scythe rose into the air and floated beside him.

"You must die!"

"Want to try?" Li Chengyi hooked the corner of his mouth up, revealing a mocking smile.

Silence.

The surrounding people felt something was wrong and began to retreat, some heading towards the thick interior of the Martial Arts Hall. Others started jogging towards the opposite end of the hall.

Hisss!!

Instantly, a light sound.

The Crescent Moon Flying Yi by Chen Zonghan’s side suddenly disappeared, turning into a red line that pounced towards Li Chengyi.

Its speed was too fast.

Even Han Qi from the Great Shining Star of the past, did not have the exaggerated speed of the Crescent Moon’s eruption at this moment.

Standing still, Li Chengyi couldn’t even see a trace and could only feel something fiercely piercing the emotion threads at his side.

Yes.

His disciple, Li Chongnan, had just broken through the sixth section and obtained the fusion ability, which he had also received.

The emotion threads covered around ten meters, like a huge spider web, able to forcibly reduce and weaken all speed-type objects that entered it.

The Flying Yi was also among them.

But even after being weakened, he still could not capture the opponent’s speed.

Such speed...

Clang!!

A shower of sparks exploded in the air next to Li Chengyi.

That was the Sword of Wisdom blocking the sparks scattered by the Crescent Moon Flying Yi.

But that was not all.

Immediately after, a series of dazzling sparks exploded consecutively in the air beside him.

Clang, clang, clang, clang, clang!!

The continuous, piercing collision sounds made the ears of the surrounding crowd ache.

Hiss.

Li Chengyi held the Golden Sword, slightly bent over, completely ignoring the Flying Yi surrounding him.

He drew the Golden Sword outward.

’Destiny·Jue Sure-Hit Blade!’

In an instant, a golden sword light slashed towards Chen Zonghan.

Whoosh!

As the sword light passed over the body, there was no tangible sensation.

Chen Zonghan’s figure, like a reflection on water or a moon in a mirror, suddenly dissipated.

He never attended the event. The speech he made, it had always been a projected holographic figure!

Li Chengyi’s face didn’t show any surprise, as he had noticed the abnormality before, and now it was just confirmation of that fact.

But even if the person wasn’t there, the Flying Yi was.

And he did not believe that Chen Zonghan could control the Flying Yi through a protective barrier force field.

So... the person was likely nearby, right in the crowd, possibly even hiding within the Martial Arts Hall!

Sheathing his sword, Li Chengyi’s gaze swept the surroundings, and he suddenly swung his sword again.

Clang!!

The Golden Sword shattered, and the Crescent Moon Flying Yi was also hit hard and knocked away.

In mid-air, the Crescent Moon flew towards a certain direction in the distance.

There, in the crowd, a short figure cloaked in a gray-white cape was quietly watching this way.

’Found you!!’ Li Chengyi exerted force on his feet and leaped up, moving towards that point like lightning.

"King Tao Mu."

A low shout came from the cloaked figure.

Before Li Chengyi could get close, a surge of blue-black flames erupted from beneath the figure’s feet and rose up.

Boom!!

The surging flames quickly soared into the air, forming a gigantic column of fire several meters in diameter and over ten meters high.

The flames engulfed the figure within it.

Hisss!

From its surface, a blue-black beam shot out instantly, hitting Li Chengyi squarely.

The Blade of Destiny forcefully blocked the beam, and Li Chengyi, with a tap of his toes, soared up like a bat and dove straight down.

’Holy Spirit Hundred Dragons!’

A myriad of invisible Sword Dragons burst forth, densely swarming towards the column of fire.

Compared with Li Chongnan’s Hundred Dragons, Li Chengyi’s covered a much larger area and volume.

While still in mid-air, the Invisible Wisdom Swords instantly cut everything within over ten meters of the Martial Arts Hall below into chunks and debris that fell to the ground.

The violent air was sliced into pieces. Unable to form into a current, it turned into tiny whirlwinds that scattered in every direction.

The people nearby were blown about in disarray by the chaotic wind, screaming.

At that moment.

The Hundred Dragons converged and slammed into the flame column.

Roar!!!

A gigantic beast’s roar burst from the interior of the flame column, deafening.

To one’s amazement, as the flames dispersed, a ten-meter-tall black creature emerged.

The creature, with a human face and a tiger’s body, had two boar-like sharp tusks and mane floating behind it, scattering blue fire sparks.

It was indeed one of the mythical Four Fiends—King Tao Mu!

In front of King Tao Mu, there was an invisible force field that held off the Sword of Wisdom Hundred Dragons attacking it.

Boom!!!

The two massive forces collided, setting off countless violent streams of air and flames.

The shockwave knocked over nearby people, who hit the walls and vomited blood.

Amidst cries of shock, the crowd fled, seeking refuge inside the Martial Arts Hall.

Li Chengyi landed lightly, looking up at King Tao Mu, his gaze instantly meeting with the hidden Chen Zonghan inside.

Both had achieved their goals in a way.

Merely a probing strike had cleared the spectators around to avoid exposing more of themselves.

Once the clearing was complete.

The real confrontation... was about to begin...
