191. The Arrival of Ten Foundation Establishment Stages
Inside his cave dwelling, Lin Fei sat alone on the ground.
"System."
Lin Fei called up the system panel. He checked his martial arts.
Host: Lin Fei
Martial Arts Realm: Early Martial Saint
Saber Momentum: Beginner (Progress 0%)
Fist Intent: Mastery (Progress 81%)
Immeasurable Fist: Transcendence (Progress 50%)
Close Yet Distant: Transcendence (Progress 0%)
In these few days, Lin Fei's fame spread throughout Great Chang. However, Lin Fei's martial arts had not improved at all. The progress of saber momentum remains at 0. No matter how many saber techniques Lin Fei integrated, they had no effect at all.
As for the martial arts realm, it was still in the early stage of Martial Saint. He didn't have the cultivation method of Martial Saint and could only rely on the saber essence accumulating little by little on his own.
The speed was too slow. At this rate, Lin Fei was afraid it would take hundreds of years to reach the middle stage of Martial Saint. That is to say, Lin Fei was truly stuck in a bottleneck now. It's not that he didn't work hard on his martial arts, but there's no way.
"According to the supreme elder from the royal family, back then, the founder of Great Chang, swept all directions, suppressed the immortal sects of the world, and established Great Chang. He didn't die of old age. He chose to leave Great Chang. Where he went, no one knows. Maybe he went out to sea. Maybe he disappeared to the south. Or even went to the north..."
Lin Fei murmured quietly. The more he knew, the more Lin Fei understood the feelings of the founder of Great Chang back then.
Probably, the situation of the founder of Great Chang back then was not much different from Lin Fei's situation now. He had become a Martial Saint and even comprehended saber momentum, sweeping invincibly, suppressing the world.
But what use was it? Couldn't make any more progress.
In Great Chang, this is the pinnacle of martial arts!
So, the founder of Great Chang didn't even want to be the emperor. He resolutely left Great Chang. Perhaps, he went to find the Dao. Martial arts is also a Dao! The founder of Great Chang might have gone to seek a stronger martial Dao.
However, no one knew whether the founder of Great Chang succeeded or not, whether he was alive or dead. After all, it was been nine hundred years. If the founder of Great Chang couldn't make any further progress in martial arts, he probably would have reached his life limit and died a long time ago. After all, Martial Saints just have a lifespan of five hundred years.
Lin Fei closed his eyes. The idea of leaving had already formed in his mind.
However, how to leave? And where to go? What would happen to the Nine Profound Sect after he left? What about his family? What about the situation in the world?
All of these matters need to be dealt with. However, of all these matters, actually, the most important and crucial thing was only one, the immortal sects!
If the immortal sects were not handled well, even if Lin Fei wanted to leave, he wouldn't be able to nor would he be at ease.
Back then, the founder of Great Chang suppressed the world and made all the major immortal sects seal their mountains. He probably had the same worries as Lin Fei does now. That is, he was wary of the immortal sects.
"The immortal sects are not all the same. What really left the founder of Great Chang helpless were actually only the top ten immortal sects. He Mountain Dao and Guardian Primordial Mountain are two of the top ten immortal sects. These immortal sects have a heritage of over a thousand years.
The mountain-protecting formation is guarded by powerful magic treasures. Even the founder of Great Chang back then couldn't break the mountain-protecting formation of those immortal sects. So, he couldn't truly sweep the immortal sects completely. He could only use another method to suppress the immortal sects to prevent them from causing trouble in a short period of time."
Lin Fei thought for a while. He probably could only use this method as well.
Among the top ten immortal sects, not everyone had a Foundation Establishment True Person. For example, He Mountain Dao did not. Although Guardian Primordial Mountain gave birth to a Foundation Establishment True Person, he was cut down by Lin Fei's saber. Therefore, it didn't have one either. Then, only the remaining eight major immortal sects were left.
"If the Foundation Establishment stages of the eight major immortal sects are all killed. Even if I can't break the gates of those immortal sects, at least I can make them dormant for several decades or even hundreds of years. By then, it should be enough time for me to go out and seek the Dao."
Lin Fei had a vague plan in his heart.
However, it would be very difficult to completely kill the Foundation Establishment stages of the eight major immortal sects.
However, now there was an opportunity. Lin Fei had destroyed the Water Moon Sect and the Fairy Crane Sect. This would certainly shake those immortal sects.
Now, the eight major immortal sects were quiet. But Lin Fei knew they were brewing a major event that would shake the world. Once the eight major immortal sects made a move, it would definitely not be a small matter.
Moreover, the eight major immortal sects were most likely to target Lin Fei. Unless the eight major immortal sects wanted to be like them during the time of the founder of Great Chang, being suppressed by the founder of Great Chang to the point of sealing their mountains. Otherwise, the immortal sects would definitely try to eliminate Lin Fei.
What Lin Fei was facing next might be eight, or even ten Foundation Establishment cultivators! After all, who said there could only be one Foundation Establishment stage in the immortal sects? Those immortal sects had been in seclusion for hundreds of years. How many Foundation Establishment True Persons have been born?
If Lin Fei faced them alone, this battle would indeed be very difficult! To face eight or even ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, even if Lin Fei was a Martial Saint, and has even comprehended the saber momentum, those Foundation Establishment True Persons also had powerful magic treasures passed down from the immortal sects a thousand years ago.
"However, I am not alone..."
A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of Lin Fei's mouth. He had sent out letters to the Hidden Sword Sect and the small town where Shen Lianxin was.
Although there was no reply yet, Lin Fei believed, at least, Shen Lianxin would definitely come! Because Shen Lianxin still owed Lin Fei a life! As for whether Liu Yibai would come, Lin Fei was not sure. After all, Shen Lianxin was a loner, a wanderer in the martial arts world. But Liu Yibai was different. Behind Liu Yibai, there is the Hidden Sword Sect. Every move of Liu Yibai represents the Hidden Sword Sect.
However, whether Liu Yibai comes or not. Lin Fei must win this battle!
"The founder of Great Chang was able to sweep invincibly and suppress the immortal sects, so can I!"
Lin Fei closed his eyes. He was slowly adjusting his state, adjusting his mood.
At this time, thinking about improving one's strength was simply impossible. Moreover, what preparation, what scheme, under the power at this level, actually had no effect at all. At this time, it was a competition of true strength!
Time passed bit by bit. Lin Fei kept his eyes closed. Nobody disturbed him. His state of mind, too, had completely fallen into a calm state.
"Whoosh".
Suddenly, Lin Fei opened his eyes. Just now, in that extreme state of mind, he sensed a slight fluctuation in the Spiritual Qi of the Nine Profound Sect. Although this fluctuation did not appear in the Nine Profound Sect and it was very faint, it was eventually caught by Lin Fei.
"Finally here?"
Lin Fei's eyes were calm. He then stood up and took a step forward.
"Whoosh".
Lin Fei had arrived outside the cave mansion. Step by step, he walked through the air and arrived in the void.
"Since you're here, show yourself!"
Lin Fei's voice echoed in the void.
"What a Nine Profound Sect Martial Saint! We just arrived and you've already noticed. But noticing us doesn't mean anything, this time we came with a straightforward attitude to completely crush you!"
With the sound of the voice in the void, above the Nine Profound Sect, one figure after another had appeared. One, two, three, four, five...
Lin Fei swept his gaze over.
"Ten Foundation Establishment True Persons. You really think highly of me. I'm afraid that even the founder of Great Chang didn't have the treatment of being besieged by ten Foundation Establishment True Persons!"
Lin Fei looked at the ten figures in the void and said calmly.
192. Who said that there is only one Martial Saint
Ten Foundation Establishment True Persons! Now, they had all descended upon the Nine Profound Sect.
At this time, the people of the Nine Profound Sect finally noticed the anomaly. The ten figures in the void. The aura they exude was simply shocking. The aura of each one seemed to be far stronger than that of Yuan Kongzi. Obviously, they were all Foundation Establishment True Persons!
Zhao Kongming, the sect master, and others immediately left the cave.
"Sect Master, master, you better not come over. These are the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the immortal sects. Your presence won't make any difference. If I lose, the Nine Profound Sect will naturally be unprotected. If I win, the Nine Profound Sect can prosper for hundreds of years!" Lin Fei said calmly.
Zhao Kongming, the sect master, both of their eyes reddened instantly.
Ten Foundation Establishment True Persons! Such a lineup is simply unheard of and it's all just to besiege Lin Fei?
Zhao Kongming's hand clenched tightly on the hilt of his sword. However, he also knew that Lin Fei was telling the truth. He could no longer intervene in this kind of battle. This is a battle of Foundation Establishment! It is the pinnacle battle of the entire Great Chang!
"Indeed, Martial Saint Lin does have self-awareness. If you lose, the Nine Profound Sect will naturally cease to exist. As for winning, Martial Saint Lin, do you think there's a chance?"
One of the Foundation Establishment True Persons said with a sneer.
"Whoosh".
Lin Fei stared straight at him. He asked coldly, "Who are you?"
"Sky-Reach Sect, True Person Tongxuan!" The Foundation Establishment True Person responded coldly as well.
"Perhaps, I can't kill the ten True Persons. But it's still easy for me to kill you! If I lose, I will kill you!"
Suddenly, a cold murderous intent emanated from Lin Fei. True Person Tongxuan's heart shivered, and even the expression on his face froze slightly. Even though there were nine other Foundation Establishment True Persons by his side, True Person Tongxuan still felt a chill all over his body.
Martial Saint!
He was facing a Martial Saint who was no less than the founder of Great Chang! Moreover, Lin Fei's saber had slain Yuan Kongzi and trampled on the mountain gates of the Fairy Crane Sect and the Water Moon Sect. This was not just talk. This was a reputation earned through killing!
"Martial Saint Lin, you are also a Martial Saint, there's no need to make threats. In fact, the Nine Profound Sect can coexist peacefully with our immortal sects. But you were just too aggressive. Trampling on the Water Moon Sect and the Fairy Crane Sect is an insult to our immortal sects' fundamentals, we had no choice but to take action!"
"Is that so? You're afraid of the appearance of a second founder of Great Chang, aren't you?"
Lin Fei stood with his hands behind him, his expression still calm. In fact, as long as Lin Fei achieved Martial Saint status and showed dominance, this battle was inevitable. It was just a matter of time.
After all, if Great Chang collapsed and the immortal sects controlled the world. Then the disciples of the Nine Profound Sect and other martial artists would inevitably come into conflict with the immortal sects sooner or later.
At that time, where would Lin Fei go? In the end, he could only fight! What Lin Fei was defending was not Great Chang but the martial arts! The world of Great Chang was too small to accommodate both martial arts and immortal cultivation.
"Alright, the formation has been set up! Martial Saint Lin, you shouldn't have talked so much with us. Now that the formation is complete, you have no hope of escape."
"Buzz".
With these words from the Foundation Establishment True Persons, the entire Nine Profound Sect was shrouded in a layer of faint light. This was the formation! The formation covered the entire Nine Profound Sect.
Just now these Foundation Establishment True Persons were "talking nonsense" with Lin Fei, in fact, they were buying time, setting up the formation. The purpose of setting up this formation was to prevent Lin Fei from escaping. They cut off Lin Fei's only hope of escape.
"Escape?"
Lin Fei's eyes were deep, his expression indifferent, he coldly said: "Have you ever heard of me running away in this world? Moreover, you delay time and set up a formation. How is it not that I am also buying time, waiting for reinforcements?"
The ten Foundation Establishment True Persons were taken aback for a moment. Then they burst into laughter: "Reinforcements? Martial Saint Lin, in this world, there is only you as a Martial Saint. What kind of reinforcements could you have? Is it some innate martial artists? Or, do you have any Foundation Establishment True Persons who are on good terms with you?"
These Foundation Establishment True Persons all laughed. In the entire Great Chang, Lin Fei was the only Martial Saint. As for the Foundation Establishment True Persons, they were all in the immortal sects.
Even if, this time, some of the immortal sects' Foundation Establishment True Persons didn't come with them, there were also no Foundation Establishment True Persons from any immortal sect who would lend a hand to Lin Fei and confront the eight major immortal sects. So, the reinforcements that Lin Fei was waiting for were probably a joke.
Lin Fei's gaze was deep. Suddenly, he looked towards the void outside the Nine Profound Sect. His eyes were calm, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth: "Who said that there is only one Martial Saint in Great Chang?"
"Huh?"
The ten Foundation Establishment True Persons' faces changed slightly. The next moment, they all turned their gazes to the rear in unison. Behind them, a figure was walking step by step. It was a black-robed saber wielder. In his hand was a plain and unadorned saber. Most importantly, he was in the void. Walking on air!
"Martial Saint?"
The ten Foundation Establishment True Persons were somewhat uncertain. How did another Martial Saint appear? And they had no prior information.
"Brother Lin, I'm glad I'm not late."
Shen Lianxin quietly looked at Lin Fei and the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons. There was not a trace of fear on his face.
"Congratulations, Brother Shen, on your successful Foundation Establishment and becoming a Martial Saint!"
Lin Fei smiled slightly. Shen Lianxin had arrived! This was the person Lin Fei had the most confidence in. Shen Lianxin was like the saber in his hand. Simple, cold, but a man of his word. Shen Lianxin owed Lin Fei a life. Then he would repay it! Even if faced with the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, it would be the same!
"The second Martial Saint! I didn't expect that Great Chang has a second Martial Saint!"
"That's right, Lin Fei was able to become a Martial Saint, he must have found the flesh and blood of an exotic beast."
"So, there must not be a small amount of exotic beast flesh and blood, creating a second Martial Saint is not impossible!"
"So what if there's a second Martial Saint? In the face of us, the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, it's still a dead end!"
"Correct, it's good that this second Martial Saint has come out, perfect for exterminating them all in one fell swoop. It will also save some obstacles in the future when implementing the prohibition of martial arts."
"Hm? Prohibition of martial arts?"
The faces of Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin grew cold. The ten Foundation Establishment True Persons now had the upper hand. Even if Shen Lianxin appeared, it would be the same. Therefore, there was nothing to hide about the prohibition of martial arts.
"If we immortal sects were to hold the world's power, naturally we would want to implement the prohibition of martial arts to avoid having characters like Great Chang's founding emperor or Martial Saint Lin in the future. Without powerful martial artists, who will compete with the Qi cultivators? Wouldn't the world be at peace then?"
"Hahaha, what a peaceful world!"
At this point, from the void outside the Nine Profound Sect. Another figure walked step by step. Still walking on air! Martial Saint! Another Martial Saint! This was the third Martial Saint!
For a moment, the faces of the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons changed drastically. They could tolerate one variable. But now, there was a second variable. Who knows if there is a third, a fourth variable?
"Brother Liu, I didn't expect you to come too. Congratulations, Brother Liu, for also achieving the status of Martial Saint!"
Lin Fei was a bit surprised. He didn't expect Liu Yibai to come as well. The relationship between Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin was naturally different. Shen Lianxin owed Lin Fei a life. While Liu Yibai only had a cooperative relationship with Lin Fei. At most, there was a bit of friendship.
However, this bit of friendship was not enough for Liu Yibai to stake his life and the entire Hidden Sword Sect to help Lin Fei. But Liu Yibai still came!
"If I don't come, the immortal sects will implement the prohibition of martial arts. How can we Hidden Sword Sect avoid this?"
Liu Yibai's eyes were getting colder. Prohibition of martial arts! Liu Yibai didn't expect these immortal sects to be so crazy. They wanted to implement the prohibition of martial arts!
Once Lin Fei and Shen Lianxin were both defeated, the Hidden Sword Sect only had him as a Martial Saint. He would probably be unable to hold on alone. By then, he would still not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed by those immortal sects.
This battle was no longer the immortal sects besieging Lin Fei. It was a confrontation between the Dao of Immortality and the Martial Arts of Great Chang!
As the world's number one swordsman and the Martial Saint of the Hidden Sword Sect, at this time, he had to stand up!
"Hidden Sword Sect, the current world's number one swordsman, didn't expect him to become a Martial Saint as well."
"That's miscalculated."
"If I'm not wrong, Lin Fei and the others becoming Martial Saints must have something to do with Liu Yibai."
"Hidden Sword Sect, the foundation is indeed not weaker than our immortal sects."
"If I knew this, I should have destroyed the Hidden Sword Sect first!"
"But now it's not too late. Three Martial Saints, we ten Foundation Establishment True Persons join hands and each carrying our sect's treasure, can't we deal with three Martial Saints?"
"Hmph, we ten Foundation Establishment True Persons join hands, even if the founding emperor of Great Chang is reborn, he will undoubtedly die!"
For a moment, the spiritual power of the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons surged. True Person's Magic Bodies were attracting the Spiritual Qi of heaven and earth within hundreds of miles, madly converging in the void. The momentum of the three Martial Saints and the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons also gradually confronted silently in the void.
"Slash!"
Shen Lianxin made the first move! The saber in his hand was drawn instantly.
"Clang."
A dazzling saber light, as if tearing the void. Like a ribbon that penetrated heaven and earth, it slashed fiercely on the array set up by the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons.
193. Saber Momentum Dominates the Scene!
"Boom."
This saber strike from Shen Lianxin was extremely terrifying. More than a thousand meters of saber light ripped through the void. Everywhere was filled with terrifying saber edges.
This saber light struck the array. Although this array was set up jointly by the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, it was from the inside out. It was specifically used to trap Lin Fei, to prevent Lin Fei from escaping. Breaking the array from the inside was too hard. However, to break it from the outside was a piece of cake. At least, the power at the Foundation Establishment level could easily break it.
"Sss."
This saber light from Shen Lianxin instantly broke the array.
"Hahaha, ten Foundation Establishment True Persons! Try this sword of mine!"
"Whoosh."
Liu Yibai also drew his sword. This sword, its light reached the heavens and pierced the earth as if tearing the void. Every Foundation Establishment True Person present felt as if they were being torn apart.
A great battle broke out between the Martial Saints and Foundation Establishment True Persons. Once they got close, martial artists would have an absolute advantage. And now, it was actually close combat.
At such a close distance, whether it was Shen Lianxin's saber or Liu Yibai's sword, they both posed a substantial threat to each Foundation Establishment True Person.
Once hit by a sword, these Foundation Establishment True Persons couldn't withstand it. They would die from a single sword strike!
However, these Foundation Establishment True Persons were not like Yuan Kongzi who had just entered the Foundation Establishment. Moreover, they had made ample preparations this time. They brought the sect's treasures.
"Watch my Purple Cloud Heavenly Robe!"
One the Foundation Establishment True Persons, with a wave of his hand, a purple light enveloped many Foundation Establishment True Persons in front of him.
"Hum."
The saber light from Shen Lianxin and the sword light from Liu Yibai struck the Purple Cloud Heavenly Robe. But they could only ripple it slightly. Then, they disappeared into nothingness.
Magic treasure!
This was another incredibly powerful magic treasure. It could block one strike from Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai, two Martial Saints. At the same time, in the void, a large Spiritual Qi vortex gathered and it covered the sky, exuding a terrifying pressure.
Foundation Establishment True Persons need to utilize Spiritual Qi to use their spells and talismans. Without Spiritual Qi, relying solely on spiritual power, the power of spells and talismans would not be so terrifying. Magic treasures also need Spiritual Qi to function.
Now, ten Foundation Establishment True Persons displayed their Magic Bodies together. The Magic Bodies naturally attracted a large number of Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Therefore, it had almost gathered into a large Spiritual Qi cloud now.
As the Spiritual Qi cloud grew more and more terrifying, with the spiritual power of the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons casting spells or talismans, under such a huge Spiritual Qi cloud, their power would definitely be earth-shattering. In this scene, both Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai looked solemn.
"Heavenly Fire Art!"
It was the Heavenly Fire Art again. Originally a common spell. However, once cast by a Foundation Establishment True Person and there was such a terrifying Spiritual Qi cloud, its power would also become very terrifying.
Perhaps, it wouldn't kill Martial Saints, but under the Heavenly Fire Art, the Nine Profound Sect would be burnt to ashes. The Nine Profound Sect faced a crisis of extermination. Would Lin Fei save them? This was a clear stratagem.
The ten Foundation Establishment True Persons had reached a consensus long ago. Since they were going to take action, they would not hold back at all.
First, they would lure Lin Fei away. Then they would join forces to kill Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai. By that time, they would focus all their efforts on besieging Lin Fei.
They all knew, among these three Martial Saints, the strongest one was definitely Lin Fei.
"Whoosh."
Liu Yibai immediately saw through the plan of the ten Foundation Establishment cultivators. So, he swung out a sword light.
This sword light contained a sharp edge, running through heaven and earth. The sharp true essence could cut everything. However, when his sword light struck the massive Spiritual Qi cloud, the result was like a mud cow entering the sea. Without a trace of reaction.
Liu Yibai felt a slight sinking feeling in his heart.
"It's no use, there's no power that can destroy such a massive Spiritual Qi cloud. The ten of us Foundation Establishment True Persons are not just about numbers when we take action together."
"Our Magic Bodies of Foundation Establishment True Persons can attract a large amount of Spiritual Qi. With Spiritual Qi, the power of our spells can be greatly enhanced. Even if you have three Martial Saints, you are doomed to die!"
The ten Foundation Establishment True Persons saw this scene. They were also greatly reassured! With the Spiritual Qi cloud, they were almost invincible. In other words, the power of any spell or talisman they cast would be amplified. How could they lose under such circumstances?
"Is that so?"
Lin Fei slowly spoke. He raised his head and looked at the Spiritual Qi cloud in the void. Then, Lin Fei's mind moved. The saber momentum erupted!
"Boom."
On Lin Fei, a translucent light appeared. This translucent light, with Lin Fei as the center, spread in all directions, instantly enveloping all ten Foundation Establishment True Persons.
"Hum."
Suddenly, the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons felt as if they were in a quagmire. It was as if they were carrying a mountain on their bodies, very heavy, struggling to move!
At the same time, Lin Fei's saber momentum was even more overwhelming. It extended to the terrifying Spiritual Qi cloud in the void in an instant. It even trapped the Spiritual Qi cloud.
"Disperse!"
Lin Fei uttered softly.
Suddenly, it was as if his words became reality. The Spiritual Qi cloud in the void actually began to shake violently and then rapidly shrank. In the end, it disappeared without a trace. The Spiritual Qi cloud had really been dispersed!
"Impossible!"
All the Foundation Establishment True Persons were looking at the Spiritual Qi cloud in the void with shock. Their hearts were filled with terror. Especially when the translucent light radiating from Lin Fei enveloped them, they felt their Magic Bodies and spiritual power seemed to be suppressed.
A light flashed through some of the older Foundation Establishment True Persons' minds.
"Momentum! This is, saber momentum? Just like the Great Chang Ancestor, he has realized the momentum?"
For a moment, the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons were shocked! Whether a Martial Saint has momentum or not is a completely different concept.
And now?
Lin Fei had actually evolved the momentum. Moreover, it was one of the most terrifying saber momentum! In the saber momentum, Lin Fei held an absolute advantage. He could suppress the strength of the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons by three to five-tenths! This is a terrifying number, almost suppressing half of their power, for anyone, is a huge blow.
Of course, this only referred to spiritual power. If the Foundation Establishment True Person were to use magic treasure, although magic treasure would also be suppressed by the saber momentum, it was just a small part.
"Saber momentum... Brother Lin, have you already reached this step?"
Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai were slightly taken aback. Looking at Lin Fei, their eyes were somewhat complicated. They were all Martial Saints and naturally understood the meaning of saber momentum.
Originally, they felt that they had become Martial Saints and they were back on the same level with Lin Fei. However, it seemed now the gap hadn't been narrowed at all but even bigger! Because it's too difficult to comprehend the momentum.
Liu Yibai knew there might be Martial Saints throughout the generations of the Hidden Sword Sect, but there were no Martial Saints who understood the sword momentum.
Shen Lianxin also tried to evolve the saber momentum. However, it's simply impossible. He even felt that there was no hope in this life to evolve the saber momentum. He didn't expect that Lin Fei had already evolved the saber momentum. Lin Fei now was no longer just a Martial Saint. Once the saber momentum comes out, Lin Fei is a saber saint!
"Tongxuan!"
Lin Fei's gaze fell on True Person Tongxuan. He said that he would kill True Person Tongxuan. And now, it was his time to take action!
"Whoosh."
The next moment, Lin Fei took a step forward. At the same time, all the saber essence in Lin Fei's body instantly gathered in his hand, condensing a thirty meters heavenly saber. A thirty meters heavenly saber, that was enough!
"Slash!"
Lin Fei's eyes were cold. The thirty-meter heavenly saber fell on True Person Tongxuan's head. Again, within the saber momentum, the boost of the thirty-meter heavenly saber reached an unimaginable level. True Person Tongxuan seemed to feel the breath of death!
194. Five Types of Saber Momentum
There is great terror between life and death.
True Person Tongxuan, a look of terror flashed across his face. He was a high and mighty Foundation Establishment True Person. He could live for five hundred years! Even now, he was not even two hundred years old and still had three hundred years of life to live. He didn't want to die!
But, Lin Fei's saber momentum, pressing down on him, already caused his spiritual power to run not smoothly. Now there was even a thirty-meter heavenly saber locked on him. True Person Tongxuan could feel, once the heavenly saber fell, he would die!
"Sky Reaching Tower!"
A small and exquisite magic treasure flew out of True Person Tongxuan's body. This was an imitation of the real Sky Reaching Tower. Although it was an imitation, it was still a genuine magic treasure.
Once the Qi cultivators of the Sky Reaching Sect reached the Qi Condensation 7th level or above, they would be bestowed a Sky Reaching Tower magical artifact by the sect. This could grow. With daily cultivation, once the Foundation Establishment is successful, becoming a Foundation Establishment True Person, then this Sky Reaching Tower magical artifact, will also transform into a magic treasure. Incredibly powerful!
With this method, the strength of the Sky Reaching Sect's high-level Qi Condensation cultivators above the 7th layer was quite good. Especially the Foundation Establishment True Persons. The longer the cultivation, the more terrifying the power of the Sky Reaching Tower.
At this moment, True Person Tongxuan deployed the Sky Reaching Tower. This was his lifebound magic treasure. But he still felt insecure. He pointed a finger.
"Shoo."
A flying sword instantly flew towards Lin Fei. True Person Tongxuan, actually had two magic treasures! The Sky Reaching Tower in the open, the flying sword in the dark. When he fought someone, both of his magic treasures come out, even a Foundation Establishment True Person couldn't withstand it.
However, facing True Person Tongxuan's two magic treasures, Lin Fei didn't even look at them. The thirty-meter heavenly saber still slashed down.
In an instant, the flying sword arrived in front of Lin Fei. Lin Fei directly stretched out his fair hand. With his flesh and blood, he directly grabbed the flying sword.
"Ding."
The flying sword stabbed onto Lin Fei's hand. It was as if it stabbed onto metal. Then, Lin Fei grabbed the sharp flying sword. With a hard squeeze,
"Crack."
the flying sword was crushed and turned into fragments. It was then thrown by Lin Fei, and fell down.
"My flying sword! You actually destroyed my flying sword?"
True Person Tongxuan's face turned pale white. His eyes instantly turned red. This was his magic treasure. He forged it with great difficulty. Now that the magic treasure was destroyed. It was simply heart-wrenching!
However, Lin Fei didn't care. The next moment, Lin Fei's thirty-meter heavenly saber finally fell. It slashed harshly onto the Sky Reaching Tower.
"Boom."
A tremendous force came from the thirty-meter heavenly saber. The Sky Reaching Tower was bright. Spiritual Qi surged, but it couldn't hold for long.
"Crack."
A crack appeared. Then, the cracks grew more and more.
"Boom."
The next moment, the Sky Reaching Tower was directly shattered. Shattered by Lin Fei's thirty-meter heavenly saber.
"Pfft."
True Person Tongxuan spits out a mouthful of fresh blood. The Sky Reaching Tower was different from the flying sword. This was his lifebound magic treasure. Once it shattered, it would cause a backlash for him. But now, he didn't even care about the consequences of the backlash. Because when the Sky Reaching Tower shattered, once the heavenly saber fell, he would die!
"Senior Brother, save me......"
The Sky Reaching Sect, this time two Foundation Establishment True Persons came. The other Foundation Establishment True Person, seeing that Tongxuan was in danger, immediately deployed his own Sky Reaching Tower.
"Suppress!"
Immediately, a huge Sky Reaching Tower, shone brightly as if it had suddenly become hundreds of meters tall. From top to bottom, it covered Lin Fei's head. Moreover, not only the Foundation Establishment True Person of the Sky Reaching Sect but there were also other Foundation Establishment True Persons. They also took action together to besiege Lin Fei.
There were about five Foundation Establishment True Persons in total. They besieged Lin Fei together. Lin Fei's face remained unchanged. The saber essence in his body was, even more, exploding wildly.
"Shoo, shoo, shoo."
Lin Fei flicked his finger. One after another saber essence instantly flew out, flying towards the five Foundation Establishment True Persons around him. Moreover, these saber essence directly condensed into treasure sabers. These treasure sabers were just like they were controlled by someone, exuding a fierce aura.
Saber intent!
These treasure sabers condensed from saber essence. They also had saber intent. Moreover, just like living creatures, they each performed the entire saber technique.
Three Abyssal Sabers!
Every saber was full of murderous aura. Just like a demon from hell. The terrifying killing saber intent was impacting the Foundation Establishment True Person's mind, causing their heart to tremble.
In the face of danger, where would they have the energy to save True Person Tongxuan?
Twenty-Three Sabers!
That was pure speed! One saber was faster than the other! So fast that in the end, one couldn't even see the saber. Just incredibly sharp edges, surrounding a Foundation Establishment True Person.
That Foundation Establishment True Person could only shrink in the protection of his magic treasure and dare not act rashly.
Eternal Night Saber Technique.
With a single saber strike, the whole world seemed to fall into a dead silence of darkness. The Foundation Establishment True Person could only try to tear the night in this darkness.
Samsara Saber Technique.
One saber, one world. Every saber seemed to create a world. Beautiful and fascinating, people unconsciously get lost in it.
God Slaying Saber Technique was the most terrifying.
With one saber, it seemed as if the spirit had been heavily hit. Every saber struck at the heart. After several sabers, the spirit and soul of the Foundation Establishment True Person showed flaws.
The saber intent was everywhere. No one expected that it would turn out like this.
"How could this be?"
"Are we... are we really fighting a Martial Saint?"
"Even if the founder of Great Chang came back to life, he wouldn't be this terrifying, right?"
"One person fighting against six Foundation Establishment True Persons. Even, completely suppressing the six Foundation Establishment True Persons."
Seeing this scene, the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons were shocked. They underestimated Lin Fei too much. Especially Lin Fei's methods at this moment, even though they had never heard of them, could a Martial Saint fight like this?
A Martial Saint evolves saber momentum, then he uses saber essence, but can it make the saber essence fight on its own?
The key is that those saber techniques could actually fight against the Foundation Establishment True Person on equal terms.
This is a bit unbelievable. However, no matter how shocked these Foundation Establishment True Persons were, Lin Fei's thirty-meter heavenly saber did not stop for a moment. Finally, it fell on True Person Tongxuan's head.
"No..."
True Person Tongxuan let out a miserable scream. He wanted to escape. But under the suppression of the saber momentum, even escape is a luxury now.
"Pfft."
The next moment, the thirty-meter heavenly saber slashed down fiercely. True Person Tongxuan's body protection spell, just like tofu, was easily cut open by Lin Fei's heavenly saber. At the same time, the terrifying saber essence directly shredded True Person Tongxuan's body.
"Boom."
The body of True Person Tongxuan did even remain. It was directly shredded by the saber essence and turned into a mist of blood, permeating in the void, emitting a strong smell of blood.
True Person Tongxuan was dead! A Foundation Establishment True Person had fallen! For a moment, everyone seemed to be at this moment, their thoughts stopped!
Another Foundation Establishment had fallen! Although before, Lin Fei had slain Yuan Kongzi with his saber, no one saw it. At least, the Foundation Establishments and Martial Saints present, none of them saw it.
But now, they watched with their own eyes, Lin Fei, under the siege of six Foundation Establishment True Persons, still forcefully killed a Foundation Establishment True Person.
Moreover, it was True Person Tongxuan from the Sky Reaching Sect. Among the Foundation Establishments, he was not weak. But now, he had turned into a pool of blood mist. He died without a whole body!
Moreover, the five saber essence split by Lin Fei also produced unexpected effects. In Lin Fei's mind, the system's voices sounded one after another.
"Your Saber Technique, Three Abssyal Sabers, with the help of saber momentum, suppressed the Foundation Establishment True Person. In a good mood, it began to evolve the Killing Saber Momentum."
"Your Saber Technique, Twenty-Three Saber, with the help of saber momentum, suppressed the Foundation Establishment True Person. In a good mood, it began to evolve Fast Saber Momentum."
"Your Eternal Night Saber Technique, with the help of saber momentum, suppressed the Foundation Establishment True Person. In a good mood, it began to evolve Eternal Night Saber Momentum."
"Your Samsara Saber Technique, with the help of saber momentum, suppressed the Foundation Establishment True Person. In a good mood, it began to evolve Samsara Saber Momentum."
"Your God Slaying Saber Technique, with the help of saber momentum, suppressed the Foundation Establishment True Person. In a good mood, it began to evolve God Slaying Saber Momentum."
Lin Fei never expected, just by dividing into five types of saber techniques to fight against the Foundation Establishment True Person, these saber techniques actually had insights during the battle and began to evolve the saber momentum!?
This was really... too promising!
After all, Lin Fei hadn't even thought about letting other saber techniques evolve the saber momentum. After all, it's too hard! But now, the five kinds of saber techniques were all too promising. They had already begun to evolve the saber momentum. Five kinds of saber momentum, once they evolve and integrate into Lin Fei's saber momentum, Lin Fei's saber momentum could probably make rapid progress immediately!
Moreover, Lin Fei's saber momentum not only integrated these five top-tier innate saber techniques but there were also even more top-tier innate saber techniques. Once those saber techniques evolved the saber momentum, then how strong would Lin Fei's saber momentum be?
195. Saber Momentum Mastery, Slaying Ten Foundation Establishments!
However, the evolution of the five saber techniques was still a lack of opportunity! As for what the opportunity was, Lin Fei already had a rough idea.
"Whoosh."
Lin Fei's gaze was on the five Foundation Establishment True Persons. The five saber techniques were entangling with the five Foundation Establishment True Persons. In the end, it was just entanglement. To slay the five Foundation Establishment True Persons, Lin Fei's five saber techniques or Lin Fei's five saber essence was still not enough!
Lin Fei didn't hesitate anymore. He no longer had any reservations.
"Boom."
The saber essence in Lin Fei's body erupted in an instant. Strands of saber essence flew out from Lin Fei's body. Lin Fei almost erupted more than 90% of the saber essence in his body all at once.
Immediately, the five saber essence suddenly increased dramatically! The momentum of the five saber techniques also reached the peak all at once. The five Foundation Establishment True Persons had a chill in their hearts. But Lin Fei had already shouted in a low voice: "Slash!"
"Whoosh."
The five saber essence, the saber light surged and, moreover, it carried the terrifying oppressive power of saber momentum. He gave a fierce slash at the five Foundation Establishment True Persons.
"Boom."
The five Foundation Establishment True Persons let out a scream. Then, the entire void quieted down. They were dead! The five Foundation Establishment True Persons all had fallen! For a moment, the void was filled with a strong smell of blood.
"Your Three Abyssal Sabers have successfully comprehended and evolved the Killing Saber Momentum!"
"Your Twenty-Three Saber has successfully comprehended and evolved Fast Saber Momentum!"
"Your Eternal Night Saber Technique has successfully comprehended and evolved the Eternal Night Saber Momentum!"
"Your Samsara Saber Technique has successfully comprehended and evolved the Samsara Saber Momentum!"
"Your God Slaying Saber Technique has successfully comprehended and evolved the God Slaying Saber Momentum!"
"Shoo, shoo, shoo."
The five saber essence instantly came to Lin Fei's front. All of them emitted a kind of saber momentum. It's no longer saber intent but the real saber momentum!
"Take it!"
Lin Fei took the five saber essence into his body.
"Your Killing Saber Momentum merges with Heaven Saber Momentum."
"Your progress in training saber momentum has increased by 20%."
"Your Fast Saber Momentum merges with Heaven Saber Momentum."
"Your progress in training saber momentum has increased by 20%."
The system's voice sounded again in Lin Fei's mind.
Five types of saber momentum fused with Lin Fei's original saber momentum. Moreover, each saber momentum increased Lin Fei's progress in practicing saber momentum by 20%. Five types of saber momentum, that's 100%.
"Boom."
Lin Fei's saber momentum began to metamorphose.
"Your saber momentum training progress has reached 100%."
"Your saber momentum has broken through to Mastery!"
Lin Fei's saber momentum, from beginner, finally broke through to Mastery. The saber momentum was also undergoing earth-shaking changes. Bursts of terrifying pressure descended on everyone in the saber momentum.
At this moment, of the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons, only four Foundation Establishment True Persons were left. They saw Lin Fei slash five Foundation Establishment True Persons with one saber. Their hearts were filled with immense fear.
Who dared to fight anymore?
So, they all used their escape techniques, transforming into a light of escape, wanting to run away.
"Want to leave? It's too late!"
A sharp light flashed in Lin Fei's eyes.
Although the beginner-level saber momentum could suppress the Foundation Establishment True Persons, if they were determined to leave, they might really be able to escape. But Lin Fei's saber momentum had already reached Mastery. The power of saber momentum at the Mastery level increased several times.
"Suppress!"
Lin Fei let out a low shout.
Immediately, the saber essence in Lin Fei's body instantly merged into the saber momentum.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh."
Immediately, a large amount of saber essence, like raindrops, instantly pierced through the bodies of the four Foundation Establishment True Persons.
"Ah..."
The four Foundation Establishment True Persons screamed. Their bodies were pierced by the saber essence, pockmarked. It looked horrendous.
"Plop."
They all fell from the void, turned into a pile of mush. They were dead!
All Foundation Establishment True Persons had fallen. These were the top ten Foundation Establishment True Persons! They were strong enough to sweep across the entire Great Chang.
Seeing this scene, Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin were silent. The disciples and elders of the Nine Profound Sect, at this moment, couldn't believe their own eyes. They had seen the whole process of the fight. Ten Foundation Establishment True Persons were slain by Lin Fei alone. This was simply one man ruling the world! Even the founder of Great Chang probably couldn't do this, right? In fact, the founder of Great Chang was even inferior to Lin Fei!
Shen Lianxin looked deeply at Lin Fei. He slowly said, "Brother Lin, it seems that even if we hadn't come, you would have been able to slay these ten cultivators. Originally, when I succeeded in foundation building and achieved the status of a martial saint, I wanted to come to the Nine Profound Sect and compete with Brother Lin in saber arts again, to see who is the Number One Saber Under Heaven. However, it seems now that there's no need for competition."
Shen Lianxin was self-aware Lin Fei had evolved the saber momentum. If he were to fight with Lin Fei, in front of Lin Fei, he might not even have the qualification to unsheath his saber.
The saber momentum might only be oppressive to others, but for a saberist, even for a martial saint saberist, as long as he didn't evolve the saber momentum, it's impossible to unsheath the saber under the cover of the saber momentum.
This is the domineering nature of the saber momentum!
Liu Yibai also looked deeply at Lin Fei. He said in a deep voice, "Saber momentum, ah... In the history of my Hidden Sword Sect, many martial saints were born, but none of them could comprehend the sword momentum. The only martial artist I know who has evolved the momentum is the founder of Great Chang. I didn't expect that Brother Lin would also comprehend the momentum, and it's even the saber momentum!"
Liu Yibai was a member of the Hidden Sword Sect. Naturally, he understood the power of "saber momentum".
The saber momentum for a martial saint is just like the saber intent for an innate martial artist. A martial saint with and without the saber momentum are completely two different levels. A typical martial saint can deal with a Foundation Establishment cultivator, or he can suppress a Foundation Establishment True Person. But if a martial saint evolves the saber momentum, he can suppress four or five or even more Foundation Establishment True Persons. And that's by using his own power to suppress!
Like Lin Fei, a martial saint with exceptional talent, once comprehend the saber momentum, that's just like now, easily suppressed the top ten Foundation Establishment True Persons With his own power!
The strength shown by Lin Fei can already be described as invincible! At least, after this battle, the whole Great Chang would spread the name of Lin Fei as "invincible"!
"I must thank Brother Liu and Brother Shen for coming to the Nine Profound Sect this time to lend me a hand."
Lin Fei didn't forget Liu Yibai and Shen Lianxin. After all, they came to the Nine Profound Sect and fought alongside him.
"Both of you, please stay in my Nine Profound Sect for some time. We can exchange views and discuss sword and saber techniques. Especially, the saber momentum. I will share everything I know."
Lin Fei invited Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai. For martial saints like Shen Lianxin and Liu Yibai, what was the most attractive thing? It's probably Lin Fei's saber momentum!
Lin Fei was now the only one in the Great Chang who had evolved the saber momentum. Even, he was the second martial saint who had comprehended the saber momentum after the founder of Great Chang. Lin Fei was undoubtedly the saber saint!
If they discussed and exchanged views with Lin Fei, they would surely understand "momentum" more deeply. They might even find the direction to evolve "momentum". The two of them were naturally very interested.
However, Liu Yibai suddenly spoke, "Brother Lin, you have slain the ten Foundation Establishment cultivators, and your fame shakes the world. But this does not mean that you can rest easy. Foundation Establishment True Persons, when they die, they die. But as long as the immortal sects exist, there will be a constant stream of Foundation Establishment True Persons being born. The Immortal Sects are the fundamental issue!"
As Liu Yibai's words fell, everyone was silent. They naturally knew that the Immortal Sects were the fundamental issue. No matter how much damage the Immortal Sects suffered, as long as they close the mountain for a period of time, short as several decades, long as several centuries, they could recover.
Without destroying the Immortal Sects, the Great Chang martial artists and Qi Condensation cultivators would inevitably wage war again.
"Since the Immortal Sects are the fundamental issue, then I will shatter the Immortal Sects!"
There was a glint in Lin Fei's eyes.
...
In the thirteenth year of Yongqing in Great Chang, April 23rd.
The ten Foundation Establishment True Persons of the Immortal Sects set up a trap and attacked the Nine Profound Sect. The Saber Saint Lin Fei evolved the saber momentum and killed the ten Foundation Establishment True Persons!
When the news spread. The Immortal Sects were greatly shocked! The martial arts world was greatly shocked! The whole world was greatly shocked!
