This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 517 Jing'an
As the stars fell over the Baifeng Plain, dew was condensing on the wild grass.

The midnight sky was a color somewhere between black iron and crow blue, with stars scattered like grains of salt on the endless dark silk.

There was no wind, but the broken flag was still shaking slightly, and drops of blood were falling from the flag into the mud.

There were torn limbs everywhere, broken shield fragments, iron helmets half buried in the soil, and shells piled on the ground.
Merlin stood beside several corpses stacked together, looking a little dazed.

After a great battle, he was lucky enough not to be seriously injured, but his whole body was in sore pain and the implants in his body also felt extremely hungry.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

The violent coughing sound awakened the dazed Merlin. He turned around quickly and saw Old Man Yao sitting on the ground with his back against several corpses.

"How are you, are you okay?"

Merlin leaned forward quickly to ask.

After the battle started, he followed the enemy closely, and was in danger several times thanks to the enemy's help.

It can be said that if it weren’t for Old Man Yao, the experienced front-line scout, he would not have survived until now.

"Stop talking nonsense, and give me the medicine!"

Old man Yao panted.

Merlin suddenly realized and quickly took out a bottle of medicine powder from his pocket and poured it on the wound on Old Man Yao's body.

"We lost the fight, didn't we?"

Merlin asked as he treated Old Man Yao's wound.

"What do you think?"

Old man Yao asked back unhappily.

Merlin still shuddered as he recalled the previous scene.

After the war started, according to Old Man Yao, the "cannon fodder troops" on his side were no match for the opponent, so the "main force" on his side was forced to fight the opponent's "cannon fodder" in advance.

If nothing unexpected happens, we will definitely lose.

But suddenly, a Buddhist master entered the battlefield and helped their side, which stabilized the situation and kept the morale and military spirit unchanged.

Merlin gradually couldn't understand what happened later.

Anyway, as he was fighting, he saw many rays of light rising into the sky, and then he heard an imperial edict.

It is the emperor’s reward to Jing’an Marquis Li Fei!

"Didn't they say that the emperor was under house arrest by the prince? Aren't Jing'an Marquis Li Fei and others the prince's accomplices? Why would the emperor suddenly reward Li Fei?"

This decree "coming from the sky" undoubtedly plunged the vanguard troops including Merlin and others into confusion and panic.

Although the Great Lan Dynasty had become so corrupt, it had a ruling foundation of more than 500 years after all, and the mainstream ideas of loyalty to the emperor and righteousness had been engraved in the bones of many people.

Whether to purge the emperor's side or to rebel is still very important to many people!
Merlin had never thought about fighting for anyone or sacrificing his life for his country. Although he was forced to participate in this war, the words "for the country, for justice" still had some weight in his heart.

When he found out that he might be the one in rebellion, the courage he had been holding on to was completely gone, and his fighting spirit dropped rapidly.

There are many people who share the same idea as him.

None of us are particularly determined people. Once we lose the reputation of being righteous and find out that we are traitors, why the hell would we still fight for our lives?
Therefore, after an imperial decree was issued to reward Li Fei, the vanguard troops of the southern army were immediately defeated!
Merlin couldn't quite understand what happened afterwards.

He saw a golden rainbow cutting through the darkness and rushing towards the majestic golden dragon.

There is a blue giant chasing behind.

He saw that suddenly there was a big sun and a bright moon in the sky, the bright moon was above and the big sun was below, the sun and the moon were hanging upside down!

Afterwards, a thousand-foot-long Buddha light shone, illuminating the entire plain.

Then there was a loud thunder, a howling wind, and flying sand and rocks!
Although Merlin is a warrior, in this doomsday-like scene, he feels no different from an ordinary person.

I can only tremble and pray that I won’t be affected by these terrifying strong men.

The last thing he heard was the roar of an extremely angry dragon, and a cry that resounded through heaven and earth:

"Wen Renzheng! Yun Shu is dead, aren't you afraid that I will perish with you today?!"

Afterwards, the Buddha's light gradually disappeared, the golden dragon and the azure giant were no longer there, and the sun and moon hanging upside down in the sky also disappeared.

Then, he followed Old Man Yao to find a place to stay and prepared to surrender.

At this moment, there were still gunshots, explosions, and sounds of powerful impacts on the plain. The battle was not yet completely over.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

"Old man, what do you think will be our final outcome?"

Merlin gradually calmed down and began to care about his future.

After applying medicine to Old Man Yao's wound, he finally stopped panting violently. He cursed and said:
"What will happen? Leave it to fate!"

Qin Mingli never believed in fate.

Even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will grab it with his own hands!

Under the cover of night, the incomplete body of the true dragon was recovering slowly.

With the terrifying recovery ability of a ninth-grade true dragon, this speed is obviously too slow.

But Qin Mingli had consumed too much energy and no longer had the energy to maintain his peak recovery ability.

It was already difficult for him to maintain the body of a true dragon, but he had to continue consuming the power of the Tao to maintain the form of a true dragon.

Because once you return to human form, the recovery speed will be slower.

No matter how powerful a martial arts saint is, he will get tired.

The power of the Dao will be exhausted, the mind will become tired, and the physical body and implants within the body will also have their limits.

Qin Mingli had been injured almost since the beginning of the battle, and was almost beaten to pieces by Wen Renzheng!
If it weren't for the Heavenly King Zhenhe coming to rescue him, he would most likely have been beaten to death by Wenren Zheng!

In the end, Zhenhe Tianwang and Fomu Tianwang teamed up to cover the retreat, allowing Qin Mingli, who was in the worst condition, to go first.

It seems that Buddhism treats him as an ally very well.

However, Qin Mingli knew very well that he was just forced by the situation.

According to the original plan, if Jing Heng succeeds in Lanling City, all the powerful Buddhists who support him with their personal luck will receive luck feedback!
And the powerful people of the Great Blue Dynasty will suffer backlash!

As one side gains strength, the other loses strength. With the Sky Blue Cavalry no longer having the support of the Emperor's Dragon Qi, the strongest men on his side will surely win.

As long as the top fighters decide the winner, the whole battle will no longer be a suspense.

However, what Buddha Eyes Heavenly King and others waited for was not the feedback of luck, but a backlash!

Jingheng put the thousand-year fortune of Buddhism on the gambling table, and the final result of the gamble was the collapse of the fortune!
Although the luck of Buddhism was not completely exhausted, it suffered heavy losses, and a group of powerful Buddhists were also affected.

Everyone knows that Jing Heng failed in Lanling City!

The Buddhists can be said to have taken a huge gamble this time. If they fail, the consequences will naturally be serious.

Under such circumstances, the Heavenly King Zhenhe and the Heavenly King Fomu would of course try their best to protect Qin Mingli.

If the Buddhists can have one more Martial Saint, their chances of turning defeat into victory will be better.

After flying for a while, Qin Mingli was finally unable to maintain his dragon body and returned to human form.

His face was pale, and there were multiple wounds on his body that were still bleeding. He spat out a mouthful of blood!

The injuries that the true dragon's body could not recover from were restored to the human body in equal proportion.

Qin Mingli steadied his breath and his face became gloomy.

The use of the Dao principles beyond the limit to maintain the body of a true dragon has already damaged the origin!
Although this injury is not as serious as the damage to Yun Shu’s life magic weapon, it will be difficult to recover in seven or eight years.

It is difficult for a top-level warrior like him to get injured, but once injured, the recovery time is measured in years!
It was precisely because of this that the other party had some reservations when Yun Shu had already died and Wen Renzheng was the only top powerhouse left in the Da Lan Dynasty.

Otherwise, Qin Mingli might not be able to escape today!
Qin Mingli accelerated and flew forward, caught up with the 'Hidden Crane in the Clouds' flying in the air, and landed on the deck.

Soon, the eldest prince came after hearing the news.

He did not ask why the subsequent plan was different from what was agreed upon in advance, but asked with concern:

"Uncle, how is your injury?"

Qin Mingli looked at the other party with a scrutinizing gaze, and the eldest prince looked at him frankly.

Qin Mingli nodded: "Not bad."

"That's good."

The eldest prince breathed a sigh of relief, hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously:
"Uncle, today..." Qin Mingli was silent, thinking about how to start.

It was Pudu Temple that contacted him first, and the two sides quickly reached an agreement.

What Qin Mingli wanted was to make further progress in martial arts, so he didn't care which prince he supported to ascend to the throne.

Anyway, no matter who comes to power, with the death of Yun Shu and Wen Renzheng, the two "royalists", and the Buddhists taking the dominant position, they can only rely on him, the only top powerful person in the royal family.

The royal family will no longer keep strict guard over him as they did in the past. He will receive full support from the royal family and have the opportunity to pursue his goals!

There is no fundamental conflict of interest between him and Buddhism.

What Buddhism wants is to dominate the entire Great Blue Dynasty. Whether it is Heavenly King Zhenhe or Buddha Jingheng, these two powerful people in Buddhism who are most likely to reach the top, their paths are both related to the promotion of Buddhism.

This does not conflict with Qin Mingli's future path.

Therefore, in the negotiation with Pudu Temple, Qin Mingli put forward three requirements:

First, in this war, the Buddhists cannot intentionally betray him and must do their utmost to ensure that he does not die.

Second, Yun Shu and Wen Renzheng must die.

Third, after the mission is accomplished, the Buddhists will fully support him in leading the troops to the west.

Except for the first point, the next two are in line with the interests of Buddhism.

In the end, Jingheng agreed to Qin Mingli's request, and personally performed the oath magic to sign an oath with him.

Although there is a possibility of breach of contract, this is the only way for Qin Mingli to reach the top, so he can only try his best.

At the top, no one has been able to take that step for thousands of years.

Who can guarantee 100% success?

Qin Mingli and the original Qingxu Zhenjun had the same idea——

Even if I die seeking the truth, I will never regret it!

"Your father is dead."

Qin Mingli did not explain today's situation, but told the news to the eldest prince first.

Under the interaction of qi and destiny, he could sense Yun Shu's death, and also sense the emperor's death.

"Father is dead?!"

The eldest prince's eyes suddenly widened and he was absent-minded for a moment.

Under the pretext of "clearing the emperor's side", he most wanted to force the emperor to pass the throne to him after the success, but he never thought of killing the emperor!

When he heard the news of the other's death, he was shocked, then sad, and finally confused:
"How could this happen? What on earth is going on?"

Qin Mingli briefly talked about the Buddhist plan, but omitted the part that used the third prince as the "introduction".

But the eldest prince was not a fool. Even if Qin Mingli didn't say it, he realized the trick.

He took over the southern border army, and the Gouchen Sword Sect took the initiative to surrender. He vaguely saw the shadow of the third prince in these.

He originally thought that this was just the Third Prince trying to protect himself and fish in troubled waters.

But I didn't expect that the third prince had already colluded with Buddhism and even with Qin Mingli!
Looking at Qin Mingli in front of him, the eldest prince felt a little cold.

If Jing Heng had succeeded today, he would probably be dead now, and the person who killed him might be Qin Mingli!

The reason why I am still alive is only because Buddhism has lost the game and it needs me to carry out its work next time.

"So where do we go next?"

The eldest prince did not expose Qin Mingli, nor did he show any anger. He just asked calmly.

The vanguard troops, which had concentrated all their elite troops, were defeated, and the 50,000 southern border troops who were still on the way in the rear could definitely not be relied upon, let alone taken away.

"To the Westernmost Province."

Qin Mingli said.

Xiji Province, where the Pudu Temple is located.

A holy place in the hearts of millions of believers in the world!
The blazing sword light cut through the golden body, and the head of Wuyan, one of the five Vajra guardians of Pudu Temple, flew high!

Li Fei held the knife in one hand and watched calmly as Wu Yan's headless body fell in front of him.

Boom——

A thick green bolt of lightning hit Wu Yan's flying head and blew it up, thus completely ending the life of the great master.

"This iron turtle is finally dead!"

Ban Yanyang, who was not far away, breathed a sigh of relief.

As the battle among the top warriors ended, the rest of the powerful Buddhists, as well as people from Baituo Mountain and Taiwei University, began to flee.

Those who possess the ability to fly, move, or create clones are naturally the easiest to escape.

But people like Wu Yan, who had strong defense but not flexible enough in movement, were slower than many grand masters in the realm of martial arts, so he was left behind.

Ban Yanyang glanced at Li Fei with surprise in his eyes, and a hint of awe that he himself didn't even notice.

Just now, after the two of them caught up with Wu Yan, they simultaneously used their martial arts domain to suppress the other party.

Then, before Ban Yanyang could even make a move, Li Fei teleported forward and slashed with a knife.

And then, nothing happened.
Wu Yan, the great master of the Shen Yan realm who specialized in defensive magical powers, was killed just like that!

Although the counter-injury magical power was broken, Wu Yan's [Indestructible] magical power is still there.

In the end, he was still taken away with a knife!

Ban Yanyang felt that if Li Fei wanted to kill him now, it would probably only take a few moves!
"Is this the power of the Seven Divine Powers combining magic and martial arts?"

Ban Yanyang looked at Li Fei carefully.

But he did not see any joy on Li Fei's face.

Li Fei put away the [Hunyuan Sword Realm] and sensed the new magical power that was integrated into his Taoist foundation - [Jing'an].

The path of destiny tends to be more towards magic, which is why Emperor Taizu was unable to reach the top.

If Emperor Taizu was not a Martial Saint but a True Lord, with the help of the national fortune of the Great Blue Dynasty, which was at its peak at the time, he would have a chance to make further progress!

Now Li Fei's seventh magical power is condensed with luck, so it naturally belongs to the magical power of magic.

Before, he was able to maintain balance with two magical powers of magic and four magical powers of martial arts.

However, this kind of balance requires him to constantly activate [Hun Tian Jin Que] and [Refining Things] to maintain it, which is quite strenuous.

Now it has become three magic powers and four martial arts powers, and the [Jing'an] magic power is composed of pure luck and has a strong "yin" attribute.

Therefore, it becomes much easier to maintain the balance of yin and yang.

Li Fei's mind moved, and the various magical powers of [Jing'an] immediately became clear to him.

This magical power has three characteristics:
First, this magical power is in charge of the realm of martial arts, the strength of the realm of martial arts will be greatly enhanced, and all magical powers will benefit!
Secondly, as long as he is within the borders of the Great Blue Dynasty, Li Fei’s combat power will be enhanced in all aspects!

Third, the stronger the fortune of the Great Blue Dynasty, the stronger the magical power of [Jing'an] will be!
The reason why Li Fei was able to kill Wu Yan with one sword was because the magical power of [Jing'an] allowed his combat power to reach a higher level, and the [Hunyuan Sword Realm] completely overwhelmed the opponent's martial arts realm.

It seems that the emperor used this method to further "bind" Li Fei and the Da Lan Dynasty together.

However, although the [Jing'an] magical power is powerful, it is not Li Fei's core magical power, nor is it the core component of the [Hunyuan Sword Realm].

Even if Li Fei turns away from the Great Blue Dynasty in the future, this path will not be cut off.

The ability to "tie" Li Fei up is never some magical power.

brush--

Li Fei sheathed his sword, looked up at the distant night sky, and recalled the scene when he first went to court to meet the emperor.

At that time he bowed and said to the man on the dragon throne:
"I, Li Fei, pay my respects to Your Majesty."

Since he was granted the title of Marquis, he was allowed to carry a sword to court and not to bow before the emperor. When he met the emperor, he only needed to clasp his fists and salute, and in many cases he was even exempted from the formalities.

At this moment, he stood facing north, looked in the direction of Lan Lingcheng, bowed deeply with both hands.

Just like when he first went to the temple to meet the emperor.

"Marquis of Jing'an Li Fei, farewell to your majesty!"
