Chapter 47 Blood Blade, Frenzied Battle_2
The opponent's face was smeared with blood, instantly losing vision, retreating while frantically swinging the weapon in hand, forming a defensive line in front of him.
But the next second, a long spear pierced precisely through the gap before him and stabbed into his chest!
"Beautiful."
Li Fei silently cheered for Li Tianyu from where he was watching the battle.
The series of responses was indeed splendid.
Moreover, killing someone in such a situation was actually the easiest way to get through a mental threshold, because there simply wasn't enough time to feel fear, disgust, or any other emotion.
Between life and death, once you've killed, you've killed, and now all Li Tianyu could think about was how to defeat the next enemy.
"Out of the way!"
A sudden roar erupted, and a figure charged towards them at breakneck speed.
Whoosh—
The air was torn apart, the gust of wind brought by the approaching figure rippled across a pond.
The remaining two martial artists hastily dodged.
Boom!!!
The charging figure threw a punch, the fist emitting a greenish Qi like a heavy hammer, striking Li Tianyu's iron spear.
The shaft of the iron spear bent significantly, and Li Tianyu was sent flying, crashing into the rockery in the courtyard.
Bang!
The rockery shattered, stones flying everywhere.
Li Tianyu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and looked at the newcomer with heavy eyes.
Reality wasn't a game; enemies wouldn't line up in ascending order of strength to fight her.
This suddenly appearing individual was a martial master at the Qi Change Stage, and it was evident he had refined his abilities for many years at this realm—his physical fitness and explosive power were very strong.
"Protective clothing?"
The arriving martial master, eyeing the protective clothing showing on Li Tianyu, greed flashed in his eyes.
His punch just now wasn't held back. If not for the high rank of Li Tianyu's protective clothing, his Yimu Gang Qi would have shattered her heart meridians.
The newcomer exerted more energy and continued charging towards Li Tianyu.
Facing an enemy one whole realm higher than herself, Li Tianyu did not shrink back, nor did she call out to Li Fei for help; instead, she gritted her teeth and met the challenge head-on.
She wore Fourth Level Protective Clothing; theoretically, it was possible for her to battle beyond her realm.
Of course, it would be very dangerous.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Each punch from the opponent felt like a heavy hammer swung at her, causing the iron spear in Li Tianyu's hands to tremble continuously, nearly slipping from her grasp.
The whistling of the wind constantly lingered around her ears, the strong gusts making it difficult for her to keep her eyes open.
She swung her long spear with all her might, blocking, retreating, dodging time and again, feeling like a mosquito by a cannon, desperately flitting about, in danger of being blasted to smithereens any moment!
This sense of oppression and crisis was something she had never experienced before in Wuda's arena.
The students of Wuda she sparred with, no matter how strong their desire to win, had never made her feel such an intense killing intent!
And as she looked around, she couldn't see Li Fei anywhere; it seemed like he was no longer there.
This only heightened her anxiety.
Bang!
Li Tianyu was struck in the ribs by a kick and sent flying again, then spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.
"Fourth Level Protective Clothing?!"
The opponent looked at Li Tianyu with a mix of shock and elation.
Only Fourth Level Protective Clothing could offer such strong defensive power, greatly weakening his Innate Qi.
If she had been wearing Third Level Protective Clothing, she would have already been killed by his strike!
Li Tianyu wiped the fresh blood from her mouth, her eyes resolute.
Suddenly, she wasn't so scared anymore.
"Just do it, why overthink it?!"
She shouted, lunging forward with her spear for the first time, aiming it at her opponent.
She had always been someone with simple thoughts.
Previously, due to nervousness and fear, she had been defending passively, but now that she had a change of mindset, she gave up on defense entirely, adopting a stance of swapping life for life with her opponent!
This actually made her adversary cautious, for he did not wear Fourth Level Protective Clothing.
After a few exchanges, Li Tianyu's spear slashed the arm of the Chen Family's martial master.
He wore Second Level Protective Clothing, but under the blood-stained spear tip, it was no different from ordinary clothing.
This was the additional effect conferred by "Blood Blade."
However, the martial master had Innate Qi to protect his body, effectively suppressing the ability of "Blood Blade," so the blood at the wound did not spurt out.
"You all go assist elsewhere."
At that moment, another person hurried over, his status apparently higher, loudly ordering the guards present to go elsewhere.
Then he joined the battle, wielding an iron stick.
He too was a martial master at the Qi Change Early Stage!
"What's going on? Why is it taking so long to fight a martial artist at the Body Breaking Stage?"
"This little bitch has Protective Clothing."
"What level?"
"Forth Level!"
"Fuck!"
As they spoke, the two of them joined forces to launch an attack on Li Tianyu.
Li Fei, watching the battle from not too far away, was already planning to intervene.
Facing two martial masters at the same time, even if Li Tianyu was wearing Forth Level Protective Clothing, it had already exceeded her limits.
However, just as he was about to make a move, Li Tianyu's speed and strength suddenly surged.
"Hmm?"
Li Fei watched her, surprised, and after hesitating for a moment, chose to stay put.
Spurt—
Li Tianyu spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, then wildly swung the long spear in her hand, unleashing even stronger power, thrusting the spear and forcibly pushing back one opponent.
The other took the opportunity to sweep his stick at her back, sending her flying once more.
Boom!!!
Li Tianyu crashed into and broke a pillar in the corridor, rolling several times on the ground before spitting out another mouthful of blood.
This scene pained Li Fei to watch, but he still resisted the urge to step in and help.
If Li Tianyu only wanted to live a peaceful life, he would not have brought her on this adventure.
But her dream was to become a female General, to fight on the battlefield, and Li Fei could only be as 'cruel' as possible to her.
To let her endure more hardships.
In the corridor, Li Tianyu charged out with her spear.
Despite her injuries worsening, the power she unleashed grew stronger!
'Blood Blade' could only enhance the sharpness of iron weapons, not the strength of the martial artist themselves.
So this was not a power brought by 'Blood Blade,' but another extraordinary ability—Frenzied Battle!
Some potent Implants possessed two extraordinary abilities, and when a martial artist reached the Body Breaking Late Stage, there was a chance to manifest a second extraordinary ability.
And the second extraordinary ability would most likely be a core level one, specific abilities varied from person to person, as the same Implant could trigger different core level extraordinary abilities in different individuals.
Now, Li Tianyu had triggered 'Frenzied Battle'!
This was a core level extraordinary ability that allowed one to grow stronger in battle; the more severe the injuries, the stronger the power unleashed.
"You might really make it as a General in the future."
Li Fei thought to himself as he watched Li Tianyu's figure.
What truly made him recognize her was not her successful activation of 'Frenzied Battle,' but her displayed character.
The more severe the injuries, the closer one was to death.
Even knowing they possess an ability like 'Frenzied Battle,' not everyone has the courage to keep pushing themselves to the brink of life and death.
And as Li Tianyu fought with the two martial masters, she sometimes even deliberately used her body to absorb the enemy's attacks, making her wounds deeper!
"Kill her!"
The unarmed martial master finally seized an opportunity, grabbing hold of Li Tianyu's thrusting spear with his hands.
During this moment of deadlock, the martial master with the iron stick swung it at Li Tianyu's head.
If this blow connected, her skull would be instantly smashed!
Li Tianyu decisively chose to let go of the spear, raising her arm to block.
Bang!!!
A muffled thud echoed.
The expected pain and impact did not come.
She looked up and saw a familiar figure standing in front of her.
Li Fei had caught the descending iron stick with one hand.
He turned his head towards Li Tianyu and smiled:
"You did great. Leave the rest to me."
"Oh…"
Li Tianyu's consciousness was already somewhat blurry, and she nodded subconsciously.
A great sense of safety enveloped her.
