Capítulo 899: Chapter 41: Heavenly Punishment! The Python Devours the Dragon

“Qi, the Da Lan Dynasty is like a net. Trying to get things done within it is impossible for us.”

“We can only burn this net down!”

“…”

In my memory, I am always the one speaking passionately, while Qi is always very calm.

“Can we do better than the court if we try? His Majesty is wise and powerful. Perhaps we should try believing in him.”

“No matter how wise and powerful His Majesty is, can he compare to the Grand Ancestor Emperor? Do you think the Grand Ancestor couldn’t see the cancer of the aristocratic families, the decay of the officials? If even he couldn’t change the situation, what can His Majesty do?”

“…”

“Qi, the net of the Da Lan Dynasty has been woven for over five hundred years, becoming ever tighter. The people underneath suffer more and more. Even if we can’t do better, at least burning this net down to start anew will give the people of the world five hundred better years than now!”

“…”

After numerous debates and even big quarrels, I was almost able to persuade him, but it was always slightly out of reach.

Until something happened that he barely noticed.

It was the first year of Hong Guang, shortly after the new emperor ascended to the throne.

A military officer who once sided with the Second Prince was convicted of treason, leading to the execution of his entire family.

Initially, Qi Zhou wanted to gather evidence, but halfway through, he abandoned it in despair.

It was a late autumn night when I found him, and he had surprisingly drunk a lot of alcohol.

“Hey, are you alright?”

“…I agreed.”

“What?”

“I agreed with what you said, to burn this net down!”

“…”

“What do you think our organization should be named?”

“Qi…”

“I’ve thought it through. I want to burn this net down and create a new world, so our organization shall be called—”

“New! World! Society!”

…

Memories from the past surged from the depths of my heart, and at this moment, Qi Ming felt a heart-wrenching pain.

When that azure-colored star flew out of Li Fei’s body, he wasn’t surprised at all.

After the mishap in Lanling City, he knew that Yun Shu would definitely leave some means on Li Fei’s body to target him.

Facing the speeding azure star, his eyes flickered with determination. With a wave of his hand, a ghostly green Curse Power shot through the air like a long rainbow, striking the star accurately!

He directly attacked Yun Shu’s Power of Dao!

In an instant, the azure star was ‘corrupted’ into a ghostly green, emanating a decayed aura, then fell from the sky.

“Damn, are you crazy?!”

From afar, Li Fei turned back and saw this scene, jumping in fright.

After the incident in Lanling City, he went to the Imperial Study Room to see the State Preceptor Yun Shu, who gave him the refining method for an Earth Level Top Grade Flying Sword and infused a power into him to target Qi Ming.

Back then, Yun Shu’s exact words were:

“If Qi Ming ever strikes at you again, he won’t be able to escape.”

So, even when being chased by Qi Ming just now, Li Fei felt immense danger but wasn’t quite in despair.

But seeing Qi Ming directly attacking that star truly frightened Li Fei.

The power Yun Shu left was merely a deterrent, unable to directly confront a Peak Strong Person from a distance.

Now, since Qi Ming didn’t care about being locked onto by Yun Shu, the deterrence naturally faltered.

“He’s going for a life-for-life scenario with me? Is it really that extreme?”

Li Fei could only desperately activate the ‘Mixed Heaven Golden Palace’ and ‘No Distance’, while also utilizing the ‘Refining’ divine skill to refine Blood Soul to enhance ‘No Distance’.

With an incessant influx of life force, the maximum distance of one instant teleportation with ‘No Distance’ increased from one hundred meters to two hundred meters!

The ‘Refining’ divine skill isn’t primarily a combat skill; it’s more powerful as an auxiliary.

But this skill, in Li Fei’s hands, had an unexpectedly enhancing effect!

Using life force in exchange for powerful, temporary strength is a common, desperate move, and it’s the most direct way ‘Refining’ is used in combat.

But how many Martial Artists have abundant life force to expend?

Moreover, depleting life force worsens one’s state, potentially leading to damaging the enemy at the cost of self-harm.

Only a freak like Li Fei, whose life force is many times greater than other Martial Artists of the same realm, and who doesn’t get injured no matter ‘how much blood’ he loses, can use ‘refining life force’ as a regular tactic.

With the enhancement of ‘No Distance’, the gap between him and Qi Ming finally widened again.

But he had little Blood Soul left, which was needed both to convert into the Power of Heart and Spirit and to strengthen ‘No Distance’. This state of instant teleportation for 2000 meters every second couldn’t be maintained for long.

Seeing Li Fei suddenly accelerate, Qi Ming was infuriated.

He didn’t expect the other party to be so adept at escaping.

Meanwhile, although the azure star had fallen, a force in secret extended from Qi Ming’s curse power and ‘spread’ onto him.

When Qi Ming directly struck Li Fei back then but failed to kill him, Yun Shu later performed a deep analysis based on the Dao trace left on Li Fei, which is why he was confident that if Qi Ming dared to attack Li Fei again, he would inevitably be unable to escape.

Now, Qi Ming was completely locked by Yun Shu!

Of the three thousand Great Daos, different Dao Rules manifest differently.

Qi Ming’s Curse Dao is like a sinister serpent in the eerie and ever-changing Hell, bearing countless grievances, capable of leading everything to ruin.

While Yun Shu’s Analyze Dao Rules are like a light shining down from the heavens. This light doesn’t sear, nor is it glaring; it quietly illuminates everything, revealing the most fundamental form of all under this light.
