With the numerous wounds that were lacerated onto Duan Li right now, the Emperor, Fei Jin Fang and the rest became worried.
After all, they had never seen Duan Li injured to such an extent no matter how strong his opponents were previously!
"ARGHHH!! DIEEEE!!" the berserk Cao Tengfei seemed to saw an opening and hollered out as he dashed forward, streaks of black flames trailed behind him along with his red eyes, appearing like a demon!
Shaaa!!
The edge of his saber was just about to plunge deep into Duan Li's skull when Cao Tengfei saw him crept up a smile.
"Heh."
Rringgg!
Time began to slow down to almost a complete halt.
'Nine Fists Shattering Meteor!'
BAM! BAM! BAM!
A total of nine punches landed on Cao Tengfei's abdomen in a single instant on the same spot, and this was extremely deadly!
Originally, the Nine legends edition which contained this Fist art was made to specifically increase the momentum and damage output the more the user attacked; up to nine times!
Duan Li had never used this recurring punch technique on someone else because it was too lethal! Even when facing against the enraged awakening state of Shen Long before, he had only deployed a normal fist art to pummel the latter!
However, Cao Tengfei was an enemy of mankind, and Duan Li wouldn't do something so cliche so as to show magnanimity towards such an evil person!
Therefore, he punched out without hesitation, and the total damage accrued would be equal to roughly 80 percent of his full strength!
This effect was further compounded with the time dilation, where it was boosted to almost 300 percent!
To visualize this damage in another perspective, it was akin to a single punch that could destroy a whole mountain to pieces!
This time, Duan Li was attacking with the intent to kill!
Rrinngg!
When the time flow returned to normal once more, the saber stopped right in front of Duan Li's forehead.
"What are you doing? Why do you stop? Kill him!" Xiqong Wu bellowed in rage at the sight of this.
What the hell is up with this useless slave of mine? To stop just when he had the perfect opportunity at that..
Idiotic slave!
However, right after he said this, he saw an indentation mark of a fist forming on Cao Tengfei's abdomen that started small, but rapidly enlarged itself!
Pu!
BOOOOMMMM!!
A loud imploding sound reverberated in the air as Cao Tengfei spurted out a mouthful of blood!
"ARGHHH!! DUAN. LI!!!!!!" Cao Tengfei that had his innards smashed, gritted his teeth and shouted with deep hatred as blood continued to spurt from his mouth.
Surprisingly, he was still alive!
"Fool! There are reasons why those that managed to release their shackles are called as immortals! Even if his innards was destroyed, he could still recover given a few breaths of time!" Xiqong Wu scoffed.
While he was surprised to see that Duan Li was able to do some real damage to his slave somehow, it only stayed in his mind for a bit before he became carefree again.
After all, immortals were an existence that was hard to kill unless one were above their realm. Even losing their limbs that would usually be fatal to a mortal would mean nothing to them and could be regenerated as long as they had enough spiritual Qi!
This was especially the case with Cao Tengfei. He possessed the innate ability to absorb and reflect damage to his assailant anytime he wanted. Combined with his now immortal body, the damage he received from Duan Li was significantly reduced!
Duan Li was also taken aback a little by this, "Even with that punch, he is still alive?"
"I'M GONNA KILL YOU AND EAT YOUR CORPSE!" Cao Tengfei dashed forward once more in a zigzag motion with a crazed look to him as he let out a shrill laughter.
Hais!
This fellow has already lost his mind...
"Little sword!" Duan Li called out as Duergar was summoned into his right hand. He then lowered his body, making a posture for a quick draw, his sword glistened under the sun!
Rriingg!!
Time slowed down once more as Cao Tengfei's saber reached Duan Li's neck!
'Nine Swords Thunder Strike!'
Shaa!! Shaa!!
Duan Li's sword cut through Cao Tengfei's both arms and legs as if cutting through butter with a hot knife!
Shaa!!
Finally, a vertical slash cut Cao Tengfei's body into half before time returned to normal.
BTOOMM!!
A sound akin to thunder exploded out.
Pu!
Shaaaaa!!
Cao Tengfei's limbs separated from his body and he was cut into two!
"What the.. how in the world am I unable to read his attack again? Don't tell me he was too fast for even my eyes to follow?!" Xiqong Wu widened his eyes in disbelief.
He was also unable to follow Duan Li's punch before, but he attributed it to mere luck. Now that he witnessed Duan Li's swordplay in the same lightning speed, he was entirely stumped!
In fact, not just him, but even Queen Levy shuddered at this sight. Her whole body trembled as excitement made her face flushed red!
Down on the ground, everyone had shocked expression. Not a single one of them could see how Duan Li made his move, even the experts such as the Emperor himself and the hidden forces included!
They could only summarize their whole experience into one word..
Unparalleled!
Duan Li was actually an unparalleled expert!
However, just when everyone thought that the fight was finally done, Cao Tengfei that was already sliced into half bellowed out once more!
"DUAN LI! EVERYTHING IS BECAUSE OF YOU! EVEN IF I WERE TO DIE, I'LL BRING YOU ALONG WITH ME!!"
Roarrr!!
The black flames intensified to an extreme degree, such that it almost blotted out the sun in the sky!
Then, Cao Tengfei's body parts began to merge into one mess of a meat ball, looking extremely hideous!
Pshaaa!!
The black flames eviscerated the remaining spiritual Qi, blood and life force inside Cao Tengfei's body as his eyes rolled out and his skin dry like a mummy.
Cao Tengfei was dead.
This abrupt tragic ending made everyone silent in shock.
Was that it?
"Impudent slave! How dare he die without my permission!!" veins popped out of Xiqong Wu's temples and his face became red in anger.
All my plans are now ruined!!
Damn it!
Bump! Bump!
The meat ball suddenly seemed to thump as if a heartbeat!
"Huh?" Duan Li stared at the lump of meat before a bad premonition came to him!
"This is... I see! Hahahaha! You are all dead now!" Xiqong Wu finally realized something as his eyes flashed viciously!
Bump! Bump!
The thumping of the meat ball became rapid before a powerful aura was released!
This aura then swiftly tripled in an instant, and it was at this moment that Duan Li finally realized and his countenance paled.
"He is going to explode!"
Without any hesitation, he flitted right in front of the meat ball!
"You are too late! You cannot stop it!" Xiqong Wu laughed out loud!
Finally, the mysterious stone will be in my grasp soon!
An expert that wanted to self-destruct could only be contained by means of spatial art or barrier of some sort. There was no way of stopping it otherwise!
But since Duan Li does not have any of those, he decided to do something drastic!
If the meat ball were to explode, his ability would surely be triggered! At that point in time, he will send it to the stratosphere!
Shiinggg!!
The meat ball began to glow bright before time decelerated!
"Now!!"
Focusing all his spiritual Qi onto his right leg, Duan Li kicked the meat ball upwards!
BOOOMMMMM!!
With the numerous wounds that were lacerated onto Duan Li right now, the Emperor, Fei Jin Fang and the rest became worried.
After all, they had never seen Duan Li injured to such an extent no matter how strong his opponents were previously!
