Zhao Tianyue stared blankly at Chen Fei’s figure. Compared to the monster, Chen Fei’s stature was undoubtedly much smaller, yet at this moment, he firmly blocked the monster’s claw attack.
The strength of this monster’s claw attack, Zhao Tianyue had just experienced firsthand.
Burning her soul and even teaming up with Tang Shouchang, they were still easily knocked down by this mid-level Fourth-Tier monster.
But now, Chen Fei stood alone with a sword, directly blocking the path ahead. “Go! Quickly!”
Tang Shouchang struggled and grabbed Zhao Tianyue, retreating to the rear.
Compared to Zhao Tianyue’s shock, Tang Shouchang was somewhat psychologically prepared. After all, since a few years ago when he witnessed Chen Fei’s actions, the power displayed by Chen Fei was unpredictable.
Especially in the past year, Chen Fei’s cultivation in Thousand Geese City occasionally produced anomalies, all of which proved that Chen Fei’s strength was advancing rapidly.
Facing such a genius, Tang Shouchang naturally felt extremely envious, and later on, he even felt almost no envy.
Because Tang Shouchang knew that compared to such a genius, there was hardly any comparability between the two sides.
Have you ever seen someone break through the Mountain Sea Realm in less than ten years and already reach the level of three Divine Palaces? It’s simply beyond envy.
Zhao Ruizheng, not far away, also looks at Chen Fei’s figure, somewhat dazed.
He thought he would have to watch Zhao Tianyue die in front of him, but he didn’t expect the scene to be like this now.
This was a mid-level Fourth-Tier monster. Even someone like Zhao Ruizheng with six Divine Palaces, would be entangled for a short time. To kill it, it would take at least dozens of exchanges.
“Roar!”
Seeing the two little bugs that had just escaped from under its claws and now seeing the humans who had injured it just now, the monster let out a huge roar from its mouth.
The ma.s.sive sound waves shoke the air, causing ripples. Chen Fei lifted his head slightly to look at the monster.
The innate talent Domain Suppression within the first Divine Palace in his body, or rather, the innate talent Prison Suppression, is now emitting a faint light.
As the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique reached the state of Great Completion, the innate talent Domain Suppression had been continuously breaking its limits and growing. Now, it had reached a level of reducing damage by forty percent.
This is the starting point of the innate talent Prison Suppression’s damage reduction, and Chen Fei can feel that it is still growing automatically, without him needing to practice it.
As soon as this wave of growth ends, Chen Fei could easily start practicing again and effortlessly bring the innate talent Prison Suppression to the state of Great Completion, reaching a position where it reduced damage by sixty percent.
The strength of this mid-level Fourth-Tier monster in front of them was formidable, especially now that its entire body was as black as ink, clearly in a state of eruption.
With one strike, Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang crumbled.
Chen Fei used the defensive posture of the Purple Sky Heavenly Song Sword, and even the damage reduction limit of the innate talent Prison Suppression was almost pierced through.
If this monster’s strength were a little stronger, Chen Fei would’ve been injured.
But, it would only be an injury.
With the Suppressing Dragon Elephant technique at Great Completion and even the characteristic of Blood Rebirth activated, even if Chen Fei’s damage reduction limit was pierced through, it wouldn’t have much impact on him.
A severe injury would require some time to recover.
If it was just a slight breach of the damage reduction limit, Chen Fei could probably recover all injuries in just a breath.
This was Chen Fei now. Even facing a mid-level Fourth-Tier monster, he didn’t need to retreat.
“Clang!”
Chen Fei slightly vibrated the blade of the Qianyuan Sword, and the monster’s sharp claws were immediately deflected. The monster’s entire body involuntarily took a step back.
Melting down the claw of the monster from earlier, Chen Fei’s strength was now surpa.s.sing that of the monster.
The monster stared fiercely at Chen Fei, then saw a cold sword light sweeping towards it.
Sensing the sharpness of this sword, the monster instinctively blocked with its arms.
Though not very intelligent, the monster’s intuition in battle was strong. At that moment, it sensed danger and subconsciously chose to defend.
“Boom!”
In the explosion, the monster’s arms directly shattered, and a huge gap was slashed open in its chest. Its entire body was propelled backward by tremendous force.
Several tens of meters away, Zhao Tianyue watched the monster, now in such a state from Chen Fei’s sword, her eyes slightly widened.
If blocking the monster’s attack could be attributed to exceptional martial arts or innate talent, resulting in astonishing defense, then this sword represented Chen Fei’s combat power directly at the level of the mid-stage of the Mountain Sea Realm.
The three Divine Palaces hadn’t even fully connected yet. Even with special talents, one shouldn’t possess such combat power.
For a Sacred Land Prodigy in the early stages of the Mountain Sea Realm to achieve such combat power, they would typically need to be equipped with a high-grade spiritual treasure.
While Chen Fei’s sword was decent, it was only at the level of a low-grade spiritual treasure.
“Buzz!”
The surrounding black mist surged, then poured into the body of the monster.
The gap in its chest quickly healed, and even its shattered arms were now shrouded in black mist, attempting to regenerate.
Chen Fei narrowed his eyes slightly, stepped back with his right foot, and appeared in front of the monster.
When he used the Shadow Lock Bow just now, Chen Fei could feel the monster’s astonishing recovery ability. Now, seeing it restored to this extent, its recovery seemed to have even strengthened.
The more severe the injury, the faster the recovery. It felt somewhat similar to a talent.
“Boom!”
Another explosion, as the monster blocked the Qianyuan Sword with the horn on its shoulder.
The borrowed power from before had already been used up with the previous strike.
Since the monster was in a defensive posture just now, Chen Fei didn’t borrow much power this time. Thus, his current move was only evenly matched with the monster.
However, with this collision, another surge of power entered Chen Fei’s body. “Let’s go help!”
Seeing Chen Fei’s new move not causing any harm to the monster, and the monster’s previous injuries continuously healing, Zhao Tianyue suggested intervening.
Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang didn’t dare to delay and quickly rushed towards the monster. Subconsciously, they felt that Chen Fei might have used some kind of secret technique just now, so his strength skyrocketed.
Now that the secret technique had worn off, his strength had declined. Of course, the fact that his move just now could rival the monster’s indicated an exaggerated level of strength.
The monster had initially prepared itself to be knocked down by Chen Fei’s sword. Now that nothing happened, even its simple brain found it a bit puzzling.
But soon, the monster stopped pondering this issue. Its arms had not yet recovered, but it had sustained no injuries elsewhere. The monster’s body fell, and it charged directly at Chen Fei with the horn on its shoulder.
The fierce aura emanating from the charge was overwhelming.
Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang, who were rushing towards them, couldn’t help but tremble under the impact of this aura. The feeling of being knocked down by the monster’s claw just now resurfaced.
It seemed like the Black Divine Barrier amplified these negative emotions.
The Mountain Sea Realm honed one’s resilience. Even if one was knocked down, or even almost died just now, they shouldn’t have been scared like that. But at that moment, the monster’s momentum directly affected their state of mind, causing Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang’s footsteps to involuntarily falter for a moment.
By the time Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang snapped out of it, the horn on the monster’s shoulder had clashed with Chen Fei’s Qianyuan Sword again.
If it had been Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang facing the monster head-on, they probably would have been killed before they even had a chance to strike back.
In battle, any distraction was fatal, especially when facing an opponent far stronger than oneself.
“Clang!”
The sound of metal twisting resonated sharply as the horn on the monster’s shoulder was completely broken, and not only that, its entire right shoulder was torn apart by a tremendous force.
The monster staggered backward, its somewhat dull eyes showing a hint of confusion.
Seeing the human before it raise the sword again, the monster began to frantically swirl the surrounding black mist to heal its injuries. At the same time, it used its left shoulder to block Chen Fei’s attack.
The monster wasn’t smart, but its combat instincts were strong. It had already noticed that by purely defending without directly confronting, it seemed to weaken the human’s attacks.
The monster couldn’t understand the reason.
In the past, when encountering other humans, it would even if injured, rush forward to bite. But now, the monster instinctively felt that defense seemed to be a better option.
“Suppress!”
Chen Fei’s eyelids lifted slightly, and thirty-six Xuanyuan Swords appeared around the monster, forming a sword formation. In the golden light, the surrounding black mist instantly dissipated like melting snow, causing a momentary pause in the monster’s rapid self-healing.
The monster’s powerful self-healing was due to its own factors, as well as the blessing from the Black Divine Barrier.
Chen Fei was now using the Xuanyuan Sword Formation to break the barrier’s blessing.
A golden sword shadow appeared behind Chen Fei and then merged into the Qianyuan Sword. The blade of the Qianyuan Sword suddenly emitted a golden light.
Stepping forward, amidst thunderous explosions, the Qjanyuan Sword instantly slashed towards the monster’s head.
Sensing the threat of death, the monster roared loudly. Its already black-as-ink body seemed to darken even more, and its figure even shrank slightly.
Without attacking, the monster raised the horn on its remaining left shoulder and blocked the Qjanyuan Sword.
“Hiss!”
Like a hot knife through b.u.t.ter, the Qianyuan Sword, empowered by its true spirit, swept through the monster’s horn without emitting any sharp sound.
Starting from the monster’s left shoulder, the blade of the Qianyuan Sword slashed down through the monster’s body, instantly cleaving it in half.
“Hiss!”
The sword energy swept down to the ground, emitting a hissing sound, while the monster stared at Chen Fei with widened eyes. Then, its upper body involuntarily fell backward.
Chen Fei’s expression remained unchanged as a burst of thunder erupted from his body, completely enveloping the monster before him.
For other creatures, being cleaved in half would have meant certain death. But for this monster, it merely temporarily broke through its defense.
What needed to be done next was to completely eliminate its vitality, leaving no possibility of recovery.
Chen Fei, with his knowledge of the Suppressing Dragon Elephant, understood well what kind of experience powerful self-healing brought. He didn’t want to experience that feeling on the enemy.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
The sound of purple thunder was incessant, and Zhao Tianyue and Tang Shouchang had already stopped in their tracks.
The battle ended too quickly; they didn’t even have time to lend a hand..
