Cultivation starts from simplifying the exercises

Chapter 2226 Fighting Three Heroes Alone

Zhan Wuji's eyes still burned with fierce fighting spirit.

However, his fighting spirit had lost some of its previous arrogance and domineering attitude.

That hard-fought, head-on clash, that pure contest of strength and will, had completely awakened him.

Zhan Wuji is a battle maniac, but he is not a mindless brute.

He loves fighting, enjoys fighting, and even gets addicted to the thrill of pushing his limits in battle.

But this doesn't mean he would be foolish enough to knowingly go to his death, just as he wouldn't be arrogant enough to challenge the true Heavenly Emperor.

Having clearly recognized the gap in strength between himself and Chen Fei, he would no longer foolishly rush in alone to get beaten up.

He enjoys fighting, but he enjoys winning even more.

“If we face him alone, we’re all doomed.” Zhan Wuji’s voice carried a hint of resentment.

"This kid is really strange. His technique seems to be able to absorb the power of the nine levels of rules to strengthen himself. Fighting him here, he gets stronger the more we fight, while we have to divert our energy to resist the pressure. With the one gaining strength while the other loses strength, we can't fight him at all."

Zhan Wuji's gaze pierced through the layers of light barriers and landed on Ling Qingxue.

"Now is not the time to talk about the rules of fighting one-on-one. You, me, and He Jinchuan should join forces and drive him out first. Otherwise, once he catches up, he will take us one by one and we will all be eliminated."

Zhan Wuji's words were clearly transmitted to Ling Qingxue and He Jinchuan through the Dharma Image's voice transmission.

He Jinchuan also struggled to his feet. Although he did not suffer Chen Fei's full-force attack head-on like Zhan Wuji, he was still seriously injured by the halberd containing the true meaning of the Void Return.

His gaze toward Chen Fei was filled with apprehension. Hearing Zhan Wuji's words, he did not refute them, but silently tightened his grip on the spear.

Ling Qingxue fell silent.

She certainly understood that Zhan Wuji was right; Chen Fei's current strength was enough to threaten any one of them.

If they don't take advantage of this opportunity to join forces and drive him away, then once Chen Fei recovers, they will likely face the fate of being defeated one by one.

She understood perfectly well that in this chaotic world of blazing sun, there was no such thing as fairness or unfairness, only the final victory and ranking. Joining forces to drive out the strongest threat was the most normal strategy.

But her pride makes it difficult for her to do so.

She, Ling Qingxue, is a once-in-a-millennium genius of the Ice Soul Divine Palace, and has never been defeated by her peers since her debut.

She has her own pride and her own principles.

She could accept losing a fair duel, then go back to cultivate diligently and win again next time. But she couldn't accept joining forces with two others to besiege someone whose cultivation level was lower than hers, all for the sake of victory.

What does this mean? Is it admitting that you are inferior to him?

Just as Zhan Wuji extended the invitation, Chen Fei's true form had already traversed hundreds of miles and instantly appeared in front of He Jinchuan.

At this moment, Chen Fei had already pushed the Devouring Heaven Divine Forging technique to its limit.

The ninth layer of rule power that had been pressing down on him like a physical weight was no longer a burden. Instead, it seemed to have encountered a huge vortex, surging wildly into his body and being devoured and refined by him.

A stream of pure and powerful energy continuously flowed into the Chaos Halberd in his hand.

In this ninth region, Chen Fei's speed was not suppressed; on the contrary, because he was able to absorb the power of the rules for his own use, it became even faster than in the outside world.

He Jinchuan's expression changed drastically.

He hadn't expected Chen Fei to be so fast. Before he could even fully adjust his internal energy, Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd, radiating terrifying pressure, had already slashed down with the force of splitting the heavens and earth.

However, He Jinchuan was, after all, a battle-hardened half-step Heavenly Monarch expert, and remained calm despite his surprise.

The instant Chen Fei's halberd came crashing down, He Jinchuan thrust out his Shadowless Spear at top speed.

Although the shot was fired hastily, it was still incredibly powerful.

A dark flame reignited at the tip of the spear, carrying a resolute intent to incinerate everything, as it met Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd.

"clang!"

The Chaos Halberd and the Shadowless Spear clashed once again.

But this time the result was completely different from before.

Although He Jinchuan had been repelled before, he was at least able to exchange a few blows with Chen Fei, and the two were evenly matched.

But at this moment, when the halberd that had absorbed a large amount of the power of the rules of the nine regions collided with He Jinchuan's hastily thrust spear.

He Jinchuan felt a terrifying force, like a galaxy pouring down, surge wildly into his body through the gun.

This power was far more violent and domineering than before. The Shadowless Spear in his hand let out a shrill cry, and the dark flames burning on the spear instantly went out.

Immediately afterwards, a tremendous force struck, causing his spear to be violently thrown upwards, leaving him wide open.

"not good!"

Alarm bells rang in He Jinchuan's mind. He wanted to back away, but it was too late.

After Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd cleaved through He Jinchuan's spear defense, its momentum undiminished, it slammed into He Jinchuan's Law of Heaven and Earth with a terrifying aura capable of annihilating all laws.

"Boom!"

A crisp sound, like a precious glass mirror shattering, was followed by a deafening roar.

The statue of He Jinchuan, which was formed entirely of Yuan Power and rules, had countless cracks spread rapidly like a spider web across its entire body the moment it was struck by the Chaos Halberd.

Immediately afterwards, with a mournful cry of unbearable strain, the entire Dharma Heaven and Earth statue collapsed with a deafening roar.

With the collapse of the Dharma Heaven and Earth, He Jinchuan's physical body within it naturally suffered extremely severe backlash.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood, flew backward, and crashed heavily onto the platform hundreds of miles away, rolling several times before finally coming to a stop.

At this moment, there was hardly a part of his body that was intact. His clothes were torn, his flesh was a bloody mess, and he was almost covered in blood.

Only when facing Chen Fei's attack alone did he truly realize just how terrifying Chen Fei's power was.

That was something he simply couldn't contend with head-on.

When Zhan Wuji saw He Jinchuan's Dharma form shattered by Chen Fei's attack, he was both shocked and furious.

He hadn't expected Chen Fei to act so quickly; from the moment Chen Fei launched his attack to the moment He Jinchuan fell to the ground, it all happened in the blink of an eye.

Zhan Wuji roared to the sky, and the instant He Jinchuan was knocked away, Zhan Wuji gripped the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe and pounced towards Chen Fei.

He knew he couldn't let Chen Fei continue pursuing He Jinchuan.

Otherwise, He Jinchuan would be eliminated directly, and then they would really only have two people left.

"Chen Fei, take this axe!"

Zhan Wuji poured all his strength into the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe in his hand and slashed it fiercely down at Chen Fei's back.

Although this axe blow was less powerful than when he was at his peak due to his injury, it still carried a domineering aura.

However, Chen Fei did not even turn around when faced with Zhan Wuji's fierce axe blow.

He simply swung his halberd backhand, striking with unparalleled precision the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe that Zhan Wuji was cleaving down.

"clang!"

Another earth-shattering roar.

Zhan Wuji felt an even more terrifying power emanating from the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe.

His arms split open again, blood gushing out, and the Sky-Splitting Battle Axe, which was connected to his will, let out a painful hum and almost flew out of his hands.

He himself was as if he had been hit head-on by a flying mountain. He and his axe were once again sent flying backward by Chen Fei's halberd.

Zhan Wuji raised his head, his gaze towards Chen Fei filled with disbelief and horror.

It's gotten even stronger!

As Chen Fei continued to absorb the power of the rules of the nine regions, his strength continued to rise.

The power of that halberd strike was clearly greater than when we clashed before.

This realization caused Zhan Wuji, who was always fearless, to feel fear for the first time.

It's a long story, but in reality, from Chen Fei's surprise attack on He Jinchuan to his halberd strike that shattered He Jinchuan's Dharma form, and then his backhand strike that sent Zhan Wuji flying, the entire process was completed in an instant.

In that instant, Ling Qingxue, who had been hesitant, made a decision.

If she hesitates any longer, and Chen Fei completely defeats Zhan Wuji, then she will really have to face Chen Fei in this state alone.

Although her pride made her unwilling to join forces to attack, her reason told her that if she didn't act now, she might not even have the chance to act at all.

Ling Qingxue's figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

The next moment, she had already passed through the nine layers of light barriers of different colors, ignoring the progressively terrifying pressure of the rules, and appeared directly in the core area of ​​the ninth zone, standing between Chen Fei and Zhan Wuji.

An extreme chill, seemingly capable of freezing time and space, spread wildly outwards from her center.

That icy chill contained the terrifying power of the fundamental rules of the Great Dao.

Under the influence of this icy power, the entire space of the ninth level area became stagnant.

Ling Qingxue's gaze was cold and sharp, piercing straight at Chen Fei.

Without uttering any further words, she lightly raised her hand, and an even more terrifying icy power transformed into an invisible torrent, sweeping towards Chen Fei.

Faced with Ling Qingxue's extreme cold that seemed to freeze the entire world, Chen Fei's expression underwent a subtle change.

Ordinary cultivators, even those at the half-step Heavenly Monarch level, would inevitably feel their movements sluggish and their energy stagnant when facing this icy power, and even their thinking would become rigid.

If you are hit head-on by this force, you may lose the ability to resist immediately.

But the Devouring God Forges, accepting all who come.

Instead of retreating, Chen Fei stepped forward to meet the sweeping torrent of icy cold. At the same time, the aura around him that devoured everything became even more violent and profound.

"Buzz!"

Under the gaze of countless horrified eyes, the icy torrent that could freeze everything was swallowed up by an invisible black hole the moment it touched Chen Fei's body, and rushed wildly into his body.

Chen Fei wouldn't actually do this elsewhere, but here he has the primordial power of the Ninefold Space as a foundation.

Chen Fei's body trembled slightly, and a thin layer of frost appeared on his skin, but it was quickly dissolved and refined by the powerful primal force within him.

His aura did not weaken due to the invasion of the icy power; on the contrary, it rose again after absorbing the icy power containing the fundamental rules of the Great Dao.

"What!" For the first time, Ling Qingxue's face showed an expression of disbelief and shock.

She had encountered countless opponents, but none had ever dared to devour her icy power so brazenly as Chen Fei.

This is no ordinary cold; it is the extreme cold power cultivated by the Ice Soul Divine Scripture of the Ice Soul Divine Palace, containing the fundamental rules of the Great Dao. Even a trace of it would damage the foundation of an ordinary cultivator.

But Chen Fei actually absorbed her icy power?

Moreover, after absorbing her icy power, Chen Fei's aura actually became stronger.

Just as Ling Qingxue was stunned and lost in thought by Chen Fei's incredible devouring ability, Chen Fei moved again.

He had no intention of showing any mercy to Ling Qingxue; in his eyes, Ling Qingxue was now his opponent.

When dealing with an opponent, you must defeat them as quickly as possible.

The Chaos Halberd in Chen Fei's hand, which had absorbed the power of nine layers of rules and Ling Qingxue's icy power, surged to its limit. Chaotic mist churned on the halberd's blade, emitting a terrifying fluctuation that made people's hearts tremble.

Chen Fei let out a low shout and slashed his halberd down fiercely at Ling Qingxue.

Ling Qingxue's expression changed drastically.

She could clearly sense that the terrifying power contained in Chen Fei's halberd strike was enough to pose a fatal threat to her.

She dared not be negligent. With a flick of her wrist, a piece of celestial silk, as dazzling as the Milky Way, flew out from her sleeve. As it rose in the wind, it transformed into a flowing curtain of light, blocking her way.

This Hun Tian Silk is a divine weapon inherited from the Ice Soul Divine Palace. It has extremely strong defensive capabilities and can also deflect and neutralize force. It is one of her most treasured life-saving methods.

"boom!"

The seemingly indestructible Hun Tian Silk Light Screen was torn open with a huge gash the moment it came into contact with Chen Fei's Chaos Halberd.

Ling Qingxue groaned. Connected to the Hun Tian Chou by mind, she felt an extremely violent force passing through the Hun Tian Chou, and her body involuntarily drifted backward.

Just as Chen Fei cleaved through the Hun Tian Silk with his halberd and was about to press his advantage, a sharp spear light suddenly pierced out from the void beside him, aiming straight for his vital ribs.

It's He Jinchuan.

After enduring Chen Fei's attack, he suppressed his injuries through sheer willpower and secret techniques, and struck again.

Although this shot was far less powerful than in its prime, the timing was extremely cunning and ruthless. It was precisely at the moment when Chen Fei's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet emerged, and when his attention was focused on Ling Qingxue.

Then, just as He Jinchuan's spear tip was about to pierce Chen Fei, the Chaos Halberd in Chen Fei's hand continued its trajectory, but the attack range of the halberd expanded with the turn of his body, encompassing both Ling Qingxue and He Jinchuan.

"clang!"

Chen Fei's halberd collided with Ling Qingxue's hastily summoned Hun Tian Silk, sending it flying.

Immediately afterwards, the halberd continued its momentum, slashing fiercely at He Jinchuan's spear that had launched a sneak attack.

"puff!"

He Jinchuan trembled violently, and the spear in his hand slipped out of his grasp and flew away.

He coughed up a mouthful of blood and was sent flying again, crashing heavily onto the platform in the ninth level area. (End of Chapter)
