But Herzog had no way to refute Lu Mingfei, because he did not agree with Lu Mingfei's logic, but he also had no way to refute the content of his words... Minamoto no Chisei, Kazama Ruri and Uesugi Eri, these three people have always been his chess pieces, and the three most important ones. Herzog controlled the Snake Eight Families through Minamoto no Chisei, and controlled the Oni Clan through Kazama Ruri, creating a rift between the two brothers and triggering a war between the two underworld organizations, thus stirring up the entire Japanese underworld into a bloody storm, and Eri was the "container" prepared by Herzog from the beginning. In Herzog's plan, the three children all had a bad ending.
If there is a chance, Herzog even wants to turn the underworld supreme from sixty years ago into its "vessel". The blood of the super hybrid that appears once in a hundred years will definitely give the "Holy Remains" the most powerful activity, so that Herzog can also inherit the power of the White King's bloodline to the maximum extent.
"You've always been wondering why I, a native of Kassel Academy, who isn't Japanese or descended from the White King, could become your 'vessel'? Furthermore, my bloodline is so pure, and my compatibility is so high, making me a better choice than Eri." Lu Mingfei looked Herzog in the eye, and at this moment, he finally revealed the answer to Herzog, "Because I've done a blood transfusion, and the person I transfused blood with is the ramen chef who was the gangster king sixty years ago."
"Uesugi Yue..." Herzog's expression froze, and he almost squeezed out the name from between his teeth.
"The blood transfusion process lasted for a while. Master Yue and I completed it completely a day ago. 'Emperor's' blood-forming and recovery abilities are very strong, and the intermittent blood draws have almost no impact on Master Yue's mobility and combat effectiveness." Lu Mingfei whispered, "This was my plan from the beginning. The corpse-guarding frenzy that besieged Tokyo Bay was also resolved, wasn't it? A large part of that was due to Master Yue's efforts. It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see the strongest 'Black Sun'."
At this moment, Herzog finally understood. No wonder Lu Mingfei, who was originally identified by it as a descendant of the Black King, was found to have the extremely pure blood of the White King's descendant flowing in his veins after being tested by it. The strength of his bloodline was even comparable to the "Emperor" level... because this blood was originally borrowed from the body of the most orthodox "Emperor" Uesugi Yue.
Herzog finally understood. No wonder the tide of corpse guards that he had predicted had not yet engulfed Tokyo, because this huge disaster was prevented by someone. When flying over the Sea of Japan and passing by the island of Sea Forest Park, Herzog roughly saw that the island was almost destroyed. It was not destroyed by a tsunami or an earthquake, but by some extremely powerful unknown force. Dense black broken limbs and debris were floating on the sea around the island. Those corpse guards... even thousands or tens of thousands of powerful monsters were all killed by people on the small island of Sea Forest Park.
In Herzog's cognition, the Eight Snake Families did not possess such power, including Kassel Academy. Caesar, Chu Zihang, Fuma Kotaro, Inuyama He, and even Hilbert Jean-Anger, these people were undoubtedly the best in the world of mixed-bloods, but that was only with respect to the world of mortals known to the public... But the frenzy composed of tens of thousands of corpse guards had already broken the barriers of the mortal world. It was impossible to stop them with just a few or even a dozen people. If you want to kill so many corpse guards in a short time, you have to drop several nuclear bombs indiscriminately on the sea, but then Tokyo will sink.
There is another possibility... that is, there is a guy with super-normal power hidden among these hybrids. Maybe he has not reached the level of "God", but he must be infinitely close to "King". Even the incomplete "Emperors" like Minamoto no Chisei and Kazama Ruri cannot do it.
But Uesugi Yue is different. The "Emperor" bloodline in his body is complete. Lu Mingfei said that Uesugi Yue's word spirit is "Black Sun". That kind of large-scale word spirit with super-standard lethality can indeed restrain the frenzy of corpse guards. Herzog doesn't know how much strength the old man has left now, but Herzog can imagine that there should be another monster with distorted bloodline traveling with him... Uesugi Eri.
The combination of the "Emperor" and the monster, no wonder tens of thousands of corpse guards were all solved, those two guys are not mortals at all, they have the most powerful bloodline in the world except for the "King", and colleague Herzog once again felt the horror of Lu Mingfei, all situations were calculated by him, and everyone was arranged to the right position with clear division of labor, to exert corresponding abilities... Is all this really because of that mysterious prophetic dream?
While Herzog was still deeply shocked by Lu Mingfei's words, another pale arc of light rose from a distance and appeared in front of him in an instant. Herzog subconsciously avoided it, but when the arc of light passed by him, Herzog felt a piercing pain in his side.
The intense pain made Herzog gasp subconsciously. He reached out and pressed his hand on his abdomen, where he felt a long crack. Some sticky and hot liquid was oozing out of the crack in his abdomen. He knew it was blood without even looking. The strong smell of blood drifted in the air at an altitude of 20,000 meters where the oxygen was thin.
"This blow is for Ying and Sakurai Kogure." Lu Mingfei whispered, "To manipulate a girl by relying on her sincere feelings for a man is the most shameless thing in the world. Even Finger knows this."
"How many people!" Herzog could no longer bear it, and roared furiously, "How many more people are you going to chop for? What's the point of telling me all this if you want to kill me! Everyone you mentioned is alive and well. I've never heard of anyone taking revenge for a group of living people."
"You don't understand, Doctor. I'm not telling you these words. I'm just saying them to myself," Lu Mingfei whispered. "You don't understand how much pain I was in five years ago. You don't understand what kind of hatred would completely transform a good-for-nothing."
"Reasons... Every time I swung my sword in the kendo hall, I had a strong reason to support me. The same goes for the wounds I left on you." Lu Mingfei said softly, "If it were just for myself, I would just chop your head off your neck, but I'm not just representing myself. So many people trust me, they put everything on me. How can I let you die so easily?"
"Doctor, it seems you don't understand yet." Lu Mingfei looked at Herzog and said expressionlessly, "Since ancient times, sinners among the dragon clan have only roared or wailed when they were sentenced to death. They have no chance to resist or beg for mercy. This is because sin is a slide that plunges into the abyss of hell. The greater the evil a person commits, the steeper the slide. Those who defy fate have no right to turn back, and no room for excuses!"
Herzog's eyes were almost spitting fire, and he wanted to say something, but Lu Mingfei didn't give him a chance to speak... Just like Lu Mingfei said, the guilty among the dragon clan are never allowed to plead!
The sharp blade shadows jumped, wrapped in the wind of death. Herzog raised Ame no Murakumo, but it didn't even have the confidence to stop Lu Mingfei at this moment. The dense wounds on his body caused by Lu Mingfei felt a burning pain... The two swords swung by Lu Mingfei were like the sword of supreme judgment. He was not doing it just for himself, he carried the hatred of everyone, and the consciousness of revenge turned into a surging wave, almost drowning Herzog.
Butu Yuhun picked up Ame Murakumo, and even though the blade was broken, Lu Mingfei didn't care. He stabbed the blade of Tianyu Yuzhan into Herzog's shoulder.
"This sword strike is for the head of the Inuyama family who died in the thorn bush." Lu Mingfei drew out the Tianyu Yuzhan.
Herzog let out a roar that was between fear and anger, and its body twisted wildly in pain, like a giant snake driven mad by the snake keeper's music. Herzog swung Ame no Murakami randomly, cutting wounds of varying depths on Lu Mingfei's body... Lu Mingfei said nothing, and didn't even dodge Herzog's swing.
But Lu Mingfei swung the knife again, and Herzog couldn't help wailing again. He covered his left knee which was bleeding profusely, and there was nothing below the knee.
Chapter 731 Beheading and Killing
Herzog's left calf was cut off cleanly by Lu Mingfei from the knee. This was definitely a pain that ordinary people could hardly bear. It was not only physical pain, but also mental torture.
Even though losing his calf is nothing to the king of dragons, Herzog still hides a human heart in his skin covered with hard scales. People like Herzog who are suspicious and cautious are often timid and afraid of death. He used to be an extremely insidious human being, but now he has become a cowardly and shrinking dragon.
How can a cunning man who defies fate compete with a crazy avenger?
Compared with the emotions emanating from Lu Mingfei at this moment, Herzog's pain and anger were really nothing. Although Lu Mingfei had no expression on his face and did not say anything, Herzog could feel that the flame of revenge burning from Lu Mingfei was surging and hot, almost burning him through.
"This blow was made for the old Fengmo patriarch who dedicated his entire life to the Eight Clans of Sheqi." Lu Mingfei said.
It was still the same content, the tone was still devoid of any emotion, and the highly repetitive process was undoubtedly a great pain and torture for Herzog, almost driving him crazy.
Herzog wanted to ask Lu Mingfei what he owed Fuma Kotaro. The old man was clearly still alive and well, without any illness or disaster. Why should he pay the price of his leg to repay him? Was it simply because he had concealed his identity? Or was it because he had deceived the Sheqi Eight Clan for so many years?
But Herzog asked himself, even if it treated the entire Sheqi Eight Families as pawns, if it were not for its guidance and leadership, the Sheqi Eight Families would never have developed to such a prosperous state today. Herzog felt that he should even be the person that Fuma Kotaro was most grateful to. It simply could not understand what qualifications Lu Mingfei had to avenge himself on behalf of that old guy who had no leadership skills.
But Herzog didn't have the chance to raise any questions, because Lu Mingfei didn't intend to explain everything to him. Herzog only needed to remember that the deep scars on his body were inflicted by Lu Mingfei on him for someone else. The sufferings that the dead people in the dream stories had endured because of Herzog would turn into the sharpest spears, and Lu Mingfei would pierce the most vulnerable shields of the sinners on their behalf!
A sharp arc of light flashed before Herzog's eyes. The chill came before the pain. Herzog felt a chill in his lower body, and then a huge pain swept over his lower body... worse than the heart-wrenching pain just now. A sticky and moist liquid gushed out from Herzog's lower body, and the air was filled with an extremely strong smell of blood. Herzog lowered his head in disbelief. When he saw that scene, he wanted to faint on the spot.
This time it was no longer the calf and knee. In Herzog's sight, the right thigh had been cut off at the root by Lu Mingfei. The precious blood born from the body of the White King gushed uncontrollably from the flat fracture at the base of Herzog's right leg to the sea of clouds below. The visual impact brought by this scene was definitely more shocking than the pain caused by losing a leg. Herzog couldn't control himself and roared wildly.
"This knife is for Miss Aso Shin." Lu Mingfei said in a low voice.
"Who is Makoto Aso? Who is Makoto Aso?" Herzog howled like an enraged beast, angrily scolding Lu Mingfei in a questioning tone, "I don't even know Makoto Aso! I don't even know Makoto Aso! I've never heard of this name, this insignificant person... Why do you always mention these insignificant people in front of me!"
"Yes, a girl who works diligently in a toy store just to earn money for college and not to burden her grandmother is indeed insignificant to the high-ranking Dr. Herzog..." Lu Mingfei lowered his head, his expression gloomy, "but not to me."
"Miss Zhen is very kind. Even if she's not a big shot, it's impossible for everyone in this world to be a big shot. Without those ant-like humans you talk about, how can you highlight your superiority?" Lu Mingfei whispered, "But everyone should have a little justice in their hearts, right? I can't die for the justice in my heart like Caesar, but I can at least fight for my own justice."
"What a bullshit theory! What a bullshit theory!" Herzog shouted at Lu Mingfei in disapproval. "You keep saying justice and fairness, as if everything you say is the truth... But that's all bullshit. The so-called justice and fairness are just excuses for hypocrites. Only the strong... only the strong are qualified to decide the only truth that exists in this world!"
"Then, Doctor, what is your definition of a strong person?" Lu Mingfei asked Herzog. "Physical strength? Possessing authority and power beyond the reach of ordinary people? Does becoming a 'god' or a king mean one is truly strong?"
"But Doctor, you're always so weak at heart. I'm not saying humans are necessarily weak, but as a human, you were undoubtedly a coward. In my opinion, Miss Zhen, as an ordinary person, is stronger than you." Lu Mingfei looked into Herzog's eyes, his gaze piercing into Herzog's heart. "Then what's the point of hiding that cowardly heart in the hard shell of a dragon? No matter how noble your bloodline is, or how precious your species is, in my eyes, you're always so vulnerable."
Herzog was angry but dared not speak out. Although he kept refuting Lu Mingfei's words, he always knew how to hold himself back and did not overly irritate Lu Mingfei... As expected of a conspirator known for his cunning and scheming, Lu Mingfei was right. The cowardice that Herzog had as a human remained after he became a dragon, but he also did not lose the forbearance and calculation that he was best at.
Even though he was forced into a situation that seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Herzog was not completely overwhelmed by pain and despair. The wounds on his body and his broken legs made him shocked and frightened. At the same time, Herzog's anger was real, and the rage in his heart was almost burning out, but half of Herzog's furious look of almost losing his mind was acted out by him.
It had been silently calculating the time in its mind... Herzog was calculating the speed of its body's recovery. At the same time, it cautiously observed that Lu Mingfei's body's recovery speed had been getting slower and slower. The wound from Lu Mingfei's torn abdomen and pulled out ribs a few minutes ago had not yet healed. Those black silk threads were slowly winding around, struggling to repair the body that was severely damaged due to Lu Mingfei's almost self-harming behavior.
Acting and psychological analysis have always been Herzog's specialties. Herzog believes that Lu Mingfei's greatest reliance is his almost immortal ability, but this supernatural power will also become Lu Mingfei's fatal disadvantage. Now all he has to do is to delay according to the other party's words. As long as he can ensure that he does not die, until Lu Mingfei's strange recovery ability fails, it will be Herzog's best chance to counterattack!
Lu Mingfei swung the next knife in an instant. The speed was so fast that Herzog could not catch it with his naked eyes. He could only predict the trajectory of his knife by relying on his premonition. Herzog was simply unable to compete with Lu Mingfei's overwhelming momentum. He could only use Ama no Murakumo to protect his vital parts to prevent Lu Mingfei from attacking unexpectedly and killing him with one blow.
The blade of Tianyu Yuzhan cut through Tian Muyun's sword, and a black crack appeared on Tianyu Yuzhan, but Lu Mingfei still twisted the blade decisively to cut. The deflected blade swept along the scraped side of Herzog. A straight and thin crack spread from Herzog's chin along his right arm, and red blood gurgled from the crack.
The severe pain made cold sweat break out on Herzog's forehead in an instant. He gritted his teeth, but his right arm fell uncontrollably. Herzog was horrified to find that he could not control his right hand normally, and his entire arm had lost consciousness... Obviously, Lu Mingfei's fierce knife had directly cut off Herzog's shoulder axis nerve, depriving Herzog of control over his right arm.
Of course, Herzog, whose arm had lost sensation, was unable to hold Ame Murakami smoothly. What was even more unexpected was that Lu Mingfei's next slash followed immediately. In a hurry, Herzog caught Ame Murakami with his other hand. Just before Ame Murakami was about to hit Ame Murakami, Lu Mingfei suddenly changed the trajectory of the slash in an instant. He avoided Ame Murakami's blade, and the tip of Ame Murakami's blade pierced into the clavicle of Herzog's left shoulder.
With a crisp sound, Tianyu Yuzhan broke along the crack of the blade. Because Herzog's collarbone was too hard, Lu Mingfei still pushed Tianyu Yuzhan into the bone gap of Herzog. Tianyu Yuzhan broke completely, and the front half remained between Herzog's flesh and bones.
With a gloomy face, Herzog pulled out the half-broken tip of Tianyu Yuzhan's knife from the gap between his bones. He couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, and blood flowed from the wound on his shoulder. Lu Mingfei's cruelty exceeded Herzog's imagination. He felt extremely ashamed. Herzog never imagined that one day he would be taught a lesson by a young man and be in such a passive and embarrassing situation.
"This blow is for the many innocent people from the Yasha and Sheqi clans who died at your hands." Lu Mingfei's tone was slightly guilty. "The blow went a little off-center. I'm a bit embarrassed. I guess those guys didn't feel relieved enough."
Herzog opened his mouth, but before he could say anything, he saw Lu Mingfei take out his collarbone from the same place where he was stabbed. In Lu Mingfei's hand, the bone was quickly refined into a brand new Tianyu Yuzhan. With almost no pause or rest, Lu Mingfei swung the Tianyu Yuzhan and pounced towards Herzog.
Herzog's face changed drastically, and he couldn't help cursing in his heart. Originally, Herzog was going to question what qualifications Lu Mingfei had to avenge the people of the Sheqi Eight Families, because neither Lu Mingfei personally nor Kassel Academy were on the same side as the Sheqi Eight Families, but Lu Mingfei didn't give Herzog any time to refute. Herzog originally thought that Lu Mingfei's movements would become slower and slower as his physical strength was depleted, but the fact was completely the opposite. Lu Mingfei's speaking speed and movements were getting faster and faster, as if he was a monster whose physical strength would never be exhausted.
But clues can still be found in the details, because when Lu Mingfei got close to Herzog, Herzog could hear Lu Mingfei's breathing frequency getting faster and faster, which meant that the burden on his body was getting heavier, and Herzog could probably guess that the reason why Lu Mingfei's attack was so swift and fierce was probably because his physical strength and the strange ability to restore his body infinitely had reached the limit, so Lu Mingfei was already anxious and wanted to kill himself before his physical strength was exhausted.
A new sword strike was approaching. Even though Herzog saw Lu Mingfei's intention, his body was too badly injured to keep up with the movements. Herzog could only rely on his intuition to use Ame no Murakumo to catch the blade of Ame no Yuzan, but Lu Mingfei's swordsmanship was quite strange. The trajectory of the blade was not a straight line at all, but a tortuous arc. This would undoubtedly reduce the power of the swing, but Herzog had no way to predict such a slash and had no way to defend against it.
The blade of Tianyu Yuzhan slashed at Herzog's abdomen. Lu Mingfei and Herzog's figures crossed each other. A curved and slanted blood line appeared on Herzog's abdomen, and the flesh on the upper and lower sides turned out along the blood line. Compared with other parts of the body, the wound here was not fatal and not very painful, but Herzog's heart was extremely horrified... because if this wound was not arc-shaped but straight, then Herzog's body would have been cut in half by Lu Mingfei at this moment.
"This knife is for the innocent Tokyo citizens who died because of you." Lu Mingfei said coldly.
This time, Herzog didn't have time to observe his injuries. He just subconsciously had the idea of refutating Lu Mingfei, and the next knife fell from the sky.
Herzog's pupils widened involuntarily, because Lu Mingfei's swordsmanship had changed again. It was no longer a weird and changeable move. The sword falling from above his head was straight and powerful, carrying a strong murderous aura and oppression, like a mountain pressing down from above his head. Herzog hurriedly raised Tenmu Yun above his head, but he only had one hand left, and his collarbone was injured, which greatly reduced his strength. Herzog had no confidence at all to block Lu Mingfei's powerful blow.
The ominous premonition came true. When Tian Yu Yu Zhan slashed fiercely on Ame Murakami's sword, Herzog felt the difference in strength between the two sides for the first time. He couldn't believe why Lu Mingfei Hai retained such exaggerated strength... Herzog felt that the bones of his left arm were almost shattered!
Naturally, Herzog did not block this move. Although the hard Ame Murakumo broke the fake Ame Yuhazak, Lu Mingfei did not care about the broken part of Ame Yuhazak. He held the half of the blade and chopped it down stubbornly, sending the half of the long sword fiercely into Herzog's chest.
Chapter 732 Defeat
Herzog's eyes were filled with disbelief. He was not looking at his chest which was pierced by Tian Yuyu's broken sword, but at Lu Mingfei.
In Herzog's impression, he had never seen Lu Mingfei show such an expression. His whole face was full of resentment, and it was extremely ferocious... And until Herzog heard Lu Mingfei's next words, he finally understood why Lu Mingfei's knife fell so fiercely this time.
"This knife... is for Eri." Lu Mingfei whispered in Herzog's ear.
As he spoke, Lu Mingfei slammed his palm hard on the hilt of Tianyu Yuzhan, and he pushed the half-broken sword into Herzog's chest bit by bit.
Herzog let out an uncontrollable roar, his body shaking and struggling wildly, like an earthworm about to be dissected. The expression on Herzog's face was unprecedentedly terrified, and a strong breath of death enveloped him. Herzog had never felt death so vividly, whether as a human or as a dragon... The broken end of Tianyu Yuzhan had pierced into Herzog's heart, and the pain from his heart made Herzog realize what it meant to be miserable. Moreover, the broken knife was still slowly moving forward, like a diamond drill that was determined to drill through his heart.
It couldn't go any deeper, the Tianyu Yuzhan had broken, and the remaining length was not enough to pierce Herzog's heart, but Lu Mingfei was obviously not satisfied with this. He twisted the handle of the Tianyu Yuzhan expressionlessly, and the broken blade twisted in Herzog's heart, almost crushing half of Herzog's heart in just a moment.
The mournful roar was like a huge bell shaking the earth, resounding throughout the entire airspace. Herzog swung his body frantically. The threat of death made him burst out with unprecedented strength. Lu Mingfei and the half of Tianyu Yuzhan that pierced his chest were both thrown away by Herzog. He gasped for breath, like a person who was extremely short of oxygen. With every breath, he wished he could inhale all the air within a radius of hundreds of meters into his lungs.
It was almost, almost the whole heart was crushed, just a few centimeters away. Herzog felt the pain from his chest. With every heartbeat, it was like being thrown into a frying pan and cooked thousands of times. The pain was unbearable.
Even though the White King's bloodline could give Herzog monstrous recovery abilities, not all monsters could survive even if their hearts were crushed... At least Herzog couldn't, which was why he was forced into such an embarrassing and desperate situation by Lu Mingfei, who possessed this ability.
Herzog looked at Lu Mingfei with lingering fear. The cruelty of this young man was completely beyond his expectations. This knife was basically aimed at his life... But when he heard the name coming out of the young man's mouth, Herzog was not surprised.
Eri... This strike was revenge for Uesugi Eri. Lu Mingfei's condition was largely due to that mute girl. Herzog reflected that without Lu Mingfei acting as a "vessel," that girl's fate would surely be even more tragic than anyone else's. How could Lu Mingfei, deeply in love with that girl, accept this? Thinking of that girl while swinging the knife, Lu Mingfei's original intention must have been to pierce his own heart through or churn it into a pulp.
However, this is enough to prove that Lu Mingfei's physical strength or that strange immortal ability has reached its limit, otherwise why would Lu Mingfei's movements become more and more urgent, and he seemed to be eager to kill himself.
"It seems that your revenge for Uesugi Eri was unsuccessful." Herzog looked at Lu Mingfei and said slowly, "This should be your final revenge. It's a pity that you didn't seem to be able to kill me."
Herzog's words seemed to be mocking Lu Mingfei or even angering him, but these were not Herzog's original intentions. Herzog's ultimate goal was to delay time. On the ever-changing battlefield, every minute and every second could determine the outcome. Herzog seemed to be physically and mentally pushed to the end by Lu Mingfei, but in his heart he had been secretly looking forward to an opportunity... Lu Mingfei's ability had reached its limit. As long as this opportunity came, Herzog would have the opportunity to completely reverse his defeat in an instant.
"Doctor, you're indeed very difficult to deal with and hard to kill, like a maggot clinging to your bones. But I knew that that strike wouldn't kill you." Lu Mingfei looked at Herzog and said seriously, "I didn't intend to kill you with that strike. Revenge has come to an end, but it's not over yet."
Lu Mingfei was breathing heavily as he spoke. Herzog needed to buy time, waiting for Lu Mingfei to reach his limit. Lu Mingfei knew it, too. But he wasn't an indestructible robot, nor was he truly limitless. On the contrary, just as Herzog had predicted, Lu Mingfei had already reached his limit. Whether it was his physical strength or the near-immortal recovery ability granted by Lu Mingze, his body might collapse in the next second from the excessive exertion.
"What else can you do?" Herzog was stunned, but he came to his senses in an instant. "No, don't try to fool me. This is your limit. I can see that you don't have any more cards."
"I never told you I had any trump cards, Doctor." Lu Mingfei shook his head slowly. "I'm telling you, I've staked everything. I don't have anything more... The only thing I have is the belief that I can make you die in despair."
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, his eyes became serious again, which meant that he had returned to a fighting stance after a brief respite. Under Herzog's gaze, Lu Mingfei made a move that made his scalp tingle... Lu Mingfei tore his left arm, took out the arm bone of his left arm, held it in his hand, and the arm bone in Lu Mingfei's hand was refined into the appearance of Butu Yuhun.
Herzog's eyes twitched at this scene, and his arm, which was cut by Lu Mingfei, couldn't help but feel a dull pain. Herzog couldn't imagine that there was such a crazy lunatic in this world, who was so cruel to himself that he broke his own arm to make a sword. In this way, the damage Lu Mingfei suffered was no less than Herzog's. How was this practice of hurting the enemy a thousand times and hurting yourself a thousand times different from suicide?
Herzog was still in great shock and hadn't recovered when Lu Mingfei rushed over with the Budu Yuhun refined from his arm bone. His breathing was rapid and disordered, and his movements were no longer as swift and sharp as when he had just fought with Herzog... The same went for Herzog. His condition was also ridiculously bad. If it weren't for the power given to him by the White King's bloodline to sense danger and the advantage of his weapon Ama Murakumo, Herzog would definitely not have been able to hold on for so long. At this final moment of life and death, the situation seemed to be deadlocked. The two sides in the decisive battle were desperately holding on to the last line. Whoever collapsed first would be the one who fell into hell.
These are things that become obvious as time goes by, but in this war, more invisible things are also quietly changing, such as will and belief. Herzog was full of confidence at the beginning, but was scared by Lu Mingfei and ran away, and then to the fear and forbearance after knowing that he could not escape. Herzog's mentality has undergone a drastic change... But Lu Mingfei's belief has never changed from beginning to end. If he wants to take revenge on Herzog, he will kill it at all costs. If there is a mountain in front of him, he will cut down the mountain. If there is a sea in front of him, he will cut off the sea. He will not waver in his determination to kill the other party because of the unfavorable situation of the battle or the strength of Herzog. As Lu Mingfei said, he has given his all, so he will do it at all costs!
Butu Yuhun drew a white arc in front of Herzog's eyes. Although the sword light this time was not as full and bright as before, Herzog still felt like he was facing a great enemy. Fortunately, this time it was able to keep up with Lu Mingfei's movements. Just before Butu Yuhun was about to cut Herzog's throat, Ama Murakami blocked Butu Yuhun's blade in time. The loud and crisp sound of the collision made Lu Mingfei and Herzog's ears tinnitus.
This time, neither Ame no Murakumo nor Butu Yuhun were knocked away. A long-lost smile finally appeared on the corner of Herzog's mouth. Although his knuckles and arms still felt pain and numbness due to this collision, fortunately, he was no longer unilaterally suppressed by Lu Mingfei. This once again proved that his guess was correct. Lu Mingfei was already at the end of his strength. No matter what level his bloodline was raised to, no matter whether he could summon an army of the dead, or whether he had a strange ability that was almost immortal... all of these were in the past.
Herzog has held on until now, but Lu Mingfei's condition has declined. The reduction in speed and strength is the most direct proof. It is difficult for Lu Mingfei to kill him now. Generally speaking, the more bizarre the ability, the more serious the backlash. Herzog does not believe that Lu Mingfei's immortal ability has no side effects... As long as the ability is lifted, it will be the best time for him to make a comeback!
In just a few moments, Butu Yuhun and Ame Murakumo had collided countless times in the sky. Hundreds and thousands of crisp collision sounds overlapped each other, as if a guzheng band was plucking the slender strings in the sky non-stop. Lu Mingfei and Herzog's bodies were both damaged to varying degrees, and the reaction force of the collision would not be enough to shatter Butu Yuhun with just one collision.
But the essential gap in weapons still exists, and as time goes by, Herzog's deep fear and dread of Lu Mingfei has gradually weakened. He is no longer obsessed with defense, and has even begun to tentatively take the initiative to attack, trying to launch a fierce counterattack when Lu Mingfei attacks.
"Isn't your revenge not over yet? Didn't you say your revenge wasn't over yet?" Herzog gave a sinister smile. "Why are you silent? I'm actually very curious, is there anyone else after Uesugi Eri? Who is the next person you want to help with revenge?"
Lu Mingfei and Herzog crossed each other's paths. The scales on Herzog's body were scattered, and there were dense new wounds under the white scales, but these wounds were not fatal. On the other hand, Lu Mingfei did not have many wounds on his body, but each one fell on sensitive positions, such as the chest, side of the neck, waist and abdomen... This was because Herzog seized the opportunity to counterattack. Moreover, the bigger disadvantage was that the Butu Yuhun in Lu Mingfei's hand had several cracks of varying depths. If the knife broke here, it would be difficult for Lu Mingfei to remove the extra bones from his body to make weapons. The remaining bones were involved in the balance of his body, and the ability given by Lu Mingze was about to disappear.
"Do you think you'll have another chance to say that name? Your revenge has come to an end, but you no longer have the power to bring it to an end, because you no longer have the strength to inflict fatal harm on me." Herzog said to Lu Mingfei in a tone of extreme sarcasm. "Let me die in despair, Lu Jun. I have to praise your conviction. You are indeed the enemy that poses the greatest threat to me so far... But this is also your most tragic side. You fell at the last moment before dawn, so arrogant that victory was just a hair's breadth away. How tragic!"
Lu Mingfei did not answer Herzog's words, and his expression did not change at all. Although Herzog's ridicule was like a knife piercing his heart, Lu Mingfei still held the Budu Yuhun tightly without loosening his grip. Just as he had always done, no matter whether it was an advantage or a disadvantage, Lu Mingfei's belief in killing Herzog had never wavered.
Butu Yuhun was slashed again at a straight angle, but was once again blocked by Herzog without any suspense. The smile on Herzog's mouth became bigger and bigger.
"Is this the power you possess now? Lord Lu, admit it, you've already failed." Herzog's tone returned to the superiority he had when he first became the White King. "Actually, I was sincerely suggesting just now that we could share this world, and everyone you care about could survive. I swore it on my bloodline... but Lord Lu, you didn't cherish it."
"Some things in this world are lost forever, and there's no second chance to choose." Herzog asked incessantly, "You and everyone you care about will go to hell because of your arrogance. Do you regret it, Lu Jun?"
This was clearly a means of destroying the opponent's heart. Herzog was such a sinister and cunning guy. Even if he felt that he had won, he would not be satisfied with just defeating the opponent physically. Mental torture would make him more happy... But Herzog's words did not seem to affect Lu Mingfei at all. The rhythm of his sword swinging did not waver at all, which made Herzog angry. Lu Mingfei's calm attitude seemed to make him look like a clown.
Seizing the opportunity, Herzog stabbed Tenmuyun into Lu Mingfei's lower abdomen, where the spleen is located, which is undoubtedly a fatal part for a normal person. But before Herzog could open his mouth happily, a sudden change caught him off guard.
The tip of Butu Yuhun's sword was infinitely magnified in Herzog's pupils.

Chapter 733 Epilogue
The speed at which the blade of the Butu Yuhun stabbed forward was so astonishing that it seemed to turn into a ray of light in Herzog's eyes.
How could this be possible? Such speed completely exceeded Herzog's comprehension. Wasn't Lu Mingfei's stamina already running low? He was clearly at a disadvantage in the fight against him. How could someone without stamina possibly deliver such a sharp and swift strike? The sense of danger this strike instilled in Herzog was even greater than any of Lu Mingfei's previous strikes!
For a moment, Herzog's brain seemed to be shut down. At the critical moment of life and death, he could not understand the situation at all. However, the stiffness of his mind did not affect his body's reaction. Herzog's head tilted back subconsciously... The powerful perception ability given by the White King's bloodline saved Herzog's life again. He dodged the knife that was originally stabbing at his throat by moving back a few centimeters. The blade of Butu Yuhun pierced through Herzog's flesh and blood, but the pierced part was his jaw, which was not fatal.
At this moment, Herzog happened to meet Lu Mingfei's eyes. The strange thing was that Lu Mingfei's pupils were no longer weak and dim as when he was evenly matched with it or even slightly inferior to it. Herzog saw the murderous intent hidden in the depths of Lu Mingfei's pupils that seemed to be condensed into substance. At this moment, he finally understood that this guy was indeed weak to a certain extent, but he had been hiding his weakness and waiting.
Lu Mingfei did not intend to let Herzog let down his guard. In a head-on confrontation, he indeed could not suppress Herzog as completely as before, but he also always had a fatal killer move to deal with Herzog hidden. That was his ability before it collapsed. He used up all his reserves, waiting for the most appropriate time to give Herzog the most difficult to avoid blow... Lu Mingfei did seize the most appropriate time. Herzog became arrogant because of Lu Mingfei's decline in condition, and his vigilance dropped greatly. In addition, Herzog was also angry that his ridicule of Lu Mingfei did not get the desired reaction. The moment he attacked Lu Mingfei out of shame and anger was the best time for Lu Mingfei to make a move.
Lu Mingfei did seize this opportunity, but Herzog was still not killed, because it was not just the White King. It was now a monster born from the blood of three dragon kings. Such a monster had never existed in the history of the dragon clan, and the activity given to its body by its bloodline was unbelievable.
Herzog suddenly noticed something wet and warm dripping onto his hand, and a sense of disharmony suddenly arose in his heart... Before Herzog even lowered his head to look, he realized that what was dripping onto his hand was blood. However, this was a battlefield between kings, and the appearance of blood on such a battlefield was too normal. Why did Herzog feel inexplicably disharmony?
Herzog, whose jaw was pierced by the Budu Yuhun, could not lower his head. He stood in a stalemate with Lu Mingfei with his head held high. Herzog could only see Lu Mingfei's face. Although Lu Mingfei's eyes remained firm, his golden pupils dimmed at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Lu Mingfei's face turned pale... At this moment, Herzog seemed to realize something, and suddenly burst into unprecedented laughter.
Herzog's laughter was so loud that it sounded like a firecracker going off in his stomach. His scarred face wrinkled because of laughing too wildly, like a blooming golden chrysanthemum. The corners of Herzog's mouth were almost grinning to his ears.
It was so proud and happy that it didn't care even though its smug face was completely exposed. If conditions allowed, Herzog even wanted to do a celebratory tap dance for this moment. It was so excited that it wanted to scratch its ears and cheeks and dance like a monkey.
Of course, Herzog did not go crazy for no reason. There was only one reason that could stimulate it... The blood dripping on Herzog's hand was not its own, and there was no third creature except Herzog and Lu Mingfei at an altitude of 20,000 meters. It was either this or that, so the only one left was Lu Mingfei.
The blood flowed along Ame Murakami to Herzog's hands. Of course, Ame Murakami's piercing of Lu Mingfei's abdomen was not a fatal injury... but Lu Mingfei was bleeding, which meant that Lu Mingfei's strange and almost immortal ability no longer existed. Lu Mingfei could no longer use his body to create weapons, and Herzog was no longer helpless with this self-repairing body.
At the same time, this also means that the balance of victory has completely tilted towards Herzog... It will win, no matter how tortuous the process is, but in the end, the great Dr. Jung von Herzog will eventually win this unprecedented battle of kings and ascend to the highest throne in the world!
