This Martial Saint’s Health Bar is Too Thick!

Chapter 51: Chapter 51: The Chase

Zhao Yu stood grim-faced in front of the believer killed by Li Fei.

“Was it that Martial Arts Hall student named Li Fei?”

Only Li Fei had not stayed behind in the village initially.

“How did he silently decipher the maze left behind?”

Zhao Yu couldn’t figure it out.

Originally, he thought that since this person was marked for death by the Tiger Saber Gang, it wouldn’t be bad to leave this trouble to them; after all, his cooperation with the Tiger Saber Gang was also full of ulterior motives, and they might become enemies in the future.

But Zhao Yu never expected that this Li Fei could become a problem not just for the Tiger Saber Gang but also for the Calming Sect!

“He must have left marks all along the way; we can’t stay here any longer, prepare to retreat.”

Zhao Yu gritted his teeth as he spoke.

“But Sect Hierarch, where should we retreat to?”

The subordinate asked in confusion.

The previous retreat was planned knowing there was a stronghold here; everyone just needed to bring two days’ worth of food.

But if they abandoned this stronghold and continued to escape into the big mountains, how much food would they need to bring?

Carrying too much would slow them down, making it easy to be caught up.

Carrying too little could mean starving to death in the mountains!

“Bring as much food as possible; we can’t stay here any longer.”

At the moment, Zhao Yu also hadn’t thought of where to retreat next, but he knew they must, otherwise they would definitely be surrounded and annihilated by the forces of both the Inspection Bureau and Zhi Ge Court!

Zhao Yu was furious at the thought that his carefully laid plans might all fall through because of Li Fei!

“Old He, how strong is this person?”

Zhao Yu asked the honest-looking middle-aged man beside him.

Old He carefully examined the footprints left at the scene and the wounds on the dead believer’s body and answered,

“Judging by his explosive power, he must be a martial artist in the Body Breaking stage, but whether it’s early or late stage, I do not know.”

“A First Grade student of the Martial Arts Hall would be at most a middle stage of Body Breaking. He may have some strange treasure on him that allowed him to pass through the maze. You and Xiao Wang should go after this kid; try to capture him alive and bring him back, but if that’s not feasible, just bring back his head and his belongings!”

Zhao Yu clenched his teeth.

“Yes.”

The honest-looking Old He and a fierce-looking young man nodded together.

Both were formally skilled martial artists in the Body Breaking stage; they were also magicians, experts in Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial, and crucial supporters of Zhao Yu!

Sending both of them against Li Fei meant ensuring no possibility of failure.

Old He and the younger Xiao Wang charged out.

The rain in the sky had lessened a lot, and the muddy tracks were quite evident on the roads, making tracking not very difficult.

Both of their implants were in their legs. Even without using the power of their implants, their leg muscles were very well-developed, giving them a speed much faster than ordinary people, which was why Zhao Yu had sent them after him.

In the woods, Li Fei kept his head down and sprinted madly.

The power of “Blood Rage” could be maintained for one minute, so he ran very fast within that minute.

After that, the warm flow dissipated, and his speed slowed down.

He ran for almost ten more minutes and started to feel hungry.

He hadn’t eaten for nearly two days.

Although the Nourishing Embryo Pill he carried contained rich nutrients, they were mainly absorbed by the implant, and only a small portion could be absorbed by his body.

It was fine under non-strenuous circumstances, the energy provided by Nourishing Embryo Pill could sustain him, but after intense physical activity, Li Fei inevitably felt hungry, and the Steel Armor Implant in his body also began to react.

In this time approaching the Body Breaking stage, the implant needed to ingest a large amount of energy every day.

Li Fei had no choice but to stop, taking out a medicine bottle from his pocket and swallowing two Nourishing Embryo Pills.

Now he didn’t have time to undergo embryo nourishing training through Heavenly Gang Qi Pile, but fortunately, intense physical activities also helped absorb the Nourishing Embryo Pills.

Just as he swallowed the Nourishing Embryo Pills, Li Fei heard urgent footsteps coming from behind him.

He turned his head and saw two shadows swiftly chasing toward him.

“Martial Artists!”

From the running speed of the two, Li Fei immediately realized they were both martial artists.

He immediately turned and ran, but the footsteps behind him grew nearer and nearer.

Thus, he decidedly activated Blood Rage, consuming 2 Blood Souls directly.

A powerful force surged from within him, and his speed instantly increased.

Seeing Li Fei accelerating, Old He said to Xiao Wang beside him,

“I’ll go block him!”

As he spoke, his leg muscles visibly swelled, with flame-like patterns emerging.

Swoosh—

Old He left an afterimage in his spot, shooting out like an arrow fired from a Powerful Crossbow!

His cultivation was in the Body Breaking Late Stage, capable of using the power of the Steel Armor Implant dozens of times until his energy was depleted, so he didn’t hesitate to stimulate the power of the implants in his legs for acceleration.

Xiao Wang, however, was in the Body Breaking Middle Stage and could only use the Steel Armor Implant’s power a dozen times at most, having to save this energy for his blade.

With a burst of speed, Old He caught up to Li Fei in just seven or eight seconds.

Just as the opponent was about to reach him, Li Fei suddenly turned around, his arm stretching to its limit, and with a single hand, he swung his saber horizontally.

He had sped up using Blood Rage in order to distance himself from the two pursuers behind him, creating a brief one-on-one opportunity.

Now the chance had come!

Whoosh—

A piercing sound of slicing air arose as Old He timely leapt to the left side, dodging Li Fei’s Back Horse Saber.

Li Fei’s saber missed, and he immediately stepped forward, raising his saber for a vertical strike.

Snap!

A popping noise in the air, but Old He suddenly turned sideways, lifted his leg, and kicked out with his right foot.

His kick was so fast it left an afterimage; Li Fei didn’t even see how the kick was delivered. He only felt a heavy blow on the blade of his saber, causing a huge shock in his wrist, nearly forcing the saber out of his hand!

After kicking Li Fei’s chopping saber away with a high whip kick, Old He’s supporting left leg acted like a bowstring, pulling his leaning back body forward, and his right leg. which had been a high whip kick launched into Li Fei’s chest, instantly changing to a side kick.

His implant was a First Grade top-class Flame Pattern, which featured the ability to burst out power continuously and quickly, so his specialty was sequential attacks.

Snap!

Old He’s second kick heavily struck Li Fei, but the scene he had anticipated where Li Fei would be sent flying like a torn sack did not happen.

Li Fei didn’t even sway; his saber cut down directly!

Swoosh—

Scalding hot blood splashed; Old He’s single leg exerted force, propelling his body backward several meters.

His right leg had been sliced, blood flowing freely.

Li Fei glanced at the opponent’s leg covered in flame patterns, thoughtful.

The saber strike he had just delivered was under the state of Blood Rage; normally, this strike would have been enough to hit the opponent’s bone, but when slicing at the surface of the flame patterns on the opponent’s thigh, it felt as though he was cutting into a layer of iron, so the resulting wound was not deep.

Without hesitating, Li Fei continued to charge with his saber.

Old He, however, revealed a solemn expression and suddenly threw a Talisman Paper toward Li Fei.
