20: Slay powerful enemies

Li Fei and Tong Ming hurriedly defended, but because the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique was too exquisite, the afterimages transformed from the seven absolutes sword were all actual strikes. Even with the two of them defending left and right, it was difficult to fully block the offensive. Soon, several cuts appeared on their bodies, and blood trickled down.

Seeing that the Blood Slaughter Sword Technique was so powerful, Hong Yu was also quite delighted in his heart, and his killing intent intensified.

After parrying a few more moves, Li Fei's expression became solemn, and he shouted coldly, "What kind of sword technique is this?"

Hong Yu rolled his eyes and didn't bother with him at all. The offensive under his hand became increasingly ruthless. In contrast to his previous random hacking, the seven absolutes sword in his hand was like a Dragon, the sword technique exceptionally exquisite, with every move aiming for the vital points of the two opponents.

Although it was one against two, on the current field, the side with more people had instead fallen into a disadvantage. If they didn't find a way to break the deadlock, being defeated or even killed was only a matter of time.

"Li Fei, I'll hold him off, you take charge of the attack!" Tong Ming roared, then used his fingers to tap heavily on several acupoints on his body.

"Alright!" Li Fei withdrew his saber and retreated. At the same time, the spiritual energy in his body began to boil. He clearly had great confidence in Tong Ming, believing he could block Hong Yu's attacks. Simultaneously, Li Fei spat out a large mouthful of essence blood, staining the entire blade red. He then held the saber with both hands across his chest, clearly preparing to unleash a powerful move for a life-or-death struggle.

Hong Yu's gaze narrowed slightly. He wanted to rush forward and strike to interrupt Li Fei while he was gathering power, but Tong Ming stood in his way, attacking frantically, making it impossible to pass for the moment.

Especially since Tong Ming had clearly used a secret technique; his physique had grown another size, his height nearly reaching two meters sixty. His muscles bulged high, even revealing a terrifying purple-black color.

"Get lost!" Hong Yu shouted, his sword speed increasing even further, pressing directly toward Tong Ming's vitals.

To his surprise, Tong Ming completely disregarded everything. At this moment, like a demon god descending to the world, he completely abandoned defense and engaged in a frantic counter-offensive with Hong Yu. Even if the seven absolutes sword hit a vital point, it was difficult to leave a fatal wound.

"I don't believe the defense of your eyes is the same as your Physical Body!"

Hong Yu also grew ruthless. After clashing head-on with Tong Ming using his left hand, the seven absolutes sword pierced straight toward Tong Ming's left eye.

"Ah!" With a shrill cry, the seven absolutes sword pierced straight through Tong Ming's eyeball. However, the skull was too hard to be pierced through. Furthermore, in his current state, Tong Ming's consciousness was clearly diminished and his reactions were sluggish. When his eyeball was pierced, his palm actually gripped the seven absolutes sword tightly!

Hong Yu frantically poured spiritual energy into the sword, then suddenly pulled back.

The seven absolutes sword truly lived up to being a top-grade magic tool. Like a hot knife through butter, it was pulled out without the slightest resistance, taking eight of Tong Ming's fingers with it.

"I swear I shall kill you!"

The intense pain made Tong Ming even more frenzied. Just as he wanted to rush up and fight for his life, Li Fei's power gathering reached its peak.

"Tong Ming, get down!"

Hearing this, Tong Ming's body, which was still charging forward, instantly fell to the ground. His two hands, with only the thumbs remaining, still tightly clutched his head.

Li Fei gave a loud shout, and the long saber in his hand swung horizontally with force. A massive golden Saber Qi slashed straight toward Hong Yu.

"Soul-Severing Saber!"

With one slash, Li Fei's face turned as pale as golden paper, and he collapsed on the spot, his strength completely depleted.

Fast, indescribably fast. In just an instant, the massive Saber Qi arrived before Hong Yu.

Hong Yu was greatly shocked. It was too late to dodge, so he could only flip the seven absolutes sword vertically in front of him, frantically pouring spiritual energy into it as if his life depended on it, desperately resisting Li Fei's charged strike.

"Clang!"

The Saber Qi and the long sword collided, producing a massive roar. Hong Yu felt as if he had been hit by a speeding truck. His whole body ached from the shock, especially his right hand holding the sword, which was already bloodied. His tiger's mouth throbbed with pain, and he almost couldn't hold onto the long sword.

But he also knew very well that no matter what, he had to hold on tight. Otherwise, if the Saber Qi passed through, he would inevitably end up being split in two.

Hong Yu's feet didn't move, but his whole body was pushed back continuously by the Saber Qi. Soon, he was pressed against the wall, with no further room to retreat.

The massive Saber Qi was several meters long. Wherever it passed, objects were split in two, the cut surfaces smooth and clean, showing its extraordinary power.

"Break for me!"

Hong Yu's eyes were wide with rage, and an unwilling cry escaped his lips. The seven absolutes sword in his hand desperately lifted upward, trying to deflect the Saber Qi.

One inch, two inches... as the golden-yellow Saber Qi grew dimmer and smaller, it was also lifted upward by Hong Yu's seven absolutes sword.

Finally, he seized the opportunity. With a sudden lift and a squat, he withdrew his sword. The Saber Qi, which had shrunk by nearly half, flew right past Hong Yu's scalp, and the shorn black hair fluttered in the air.

The Saber Qi directly split the ultra-thick bluestone wall and then flew off into the distance.

Looking at the smooth and clean cut, Hong Yu was also filled with lingering fear. If the seven absolutes sword hadn't been of superior quality, he probably would have lost his life just now.

Although he dodged the attack, he was also seriously injured. Especially his two hands, which were bloodied by the wind radiating from the Saber Qi. The deepest wound even revealed the pale white bone.

Seeing that the Saber Qi failed to achieve its goal, a hint of despair couldn't help but surface in Li Fei's eyes.

His strongest ultimate move had already been used. At this moment, his entire body's spiritual energy was parched. Tong Ming's forbidden technique had also reached its limit and was now backfiring. His body returned to its normal size, and he lay on the ground twitching incessantly, having fallen into a coma.

Hong Yu's condition was also poor, but he still possessed a certain amount of combat strength.

Looking at the two fallen men, he walked over slowly, holding the still-dripping seven absolutes sword with a firm step.

Seeing this, despair and resentment flashed in Li Fei's eyes, and he shouted loudly, "Hong Yu, you can't kill me! My grandfather is an Elder of Pan Mountain, and my brother is a Core..."

Before he could finish his sentence, the seven absolutes sword had already slashed across his throat. Instantly, blood gushed out like a fountain. Li Fei's eyes widened in disbelief, and he desperately clutched his throat, making "he-he" sounds from his mouth.

After a short while, he collapsed in a pool of blood.

After Hong Yu also delivered a finishing blow to Tong Ming on the side, he let out a heavy sigh. As the excitement in his heart slowly faded, he frowned. The scene this time was even more tragic, but he seemed to have adapted to it somewhat.

After casually giving the System a three-star rating, the retarded System didn't cause any more trouble this time. Hong Yu began to clean up the battlefield.

"These three must be worth a lot. After all, they dared to be so unscrupulous Inside the Mansion, and they even said they have backers. I suppose it should be enough to compensate for some of the losses."

Hong Yu muttered with a bitter smile.

Three corpses—this meant he would have to pay at least ninety thousand Spirit Stones in compensation!
