Chapter 313: Intimidate
The Lifeform Force Field was practically unbeatable for those weaker than him.
With the help of special terrain, dozens of Core Formation experts could surround and kill a Martial Saint. Hundreds of them might even tire out or overwhelm an Astral Cultivator.
However, up against a Martial God's Lifeform Force Field, they would be utterly helpless. The opponent could suppress them with just the Lifeform Force Field alone. Without lifting a finger, he could cause the qi and blood of hundreds of Core Formation experts to reverse, killing them on the spot.
Xu Bao soon realized this as well, looking visibly on edge. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "You don't look familiar. You're not from Molong Country, are you? May I ask for your name? Perhaps there's been some misunderstanding between us?"
"My surname is Li," answered Li Pin, looking at him. "What's wrong? Is your sect master difficult to invite?"
Xu Bao knew this situation was beyond his control.
"I've already sent someone to fetch the sect master. But there's no need for us to escalate this. As the saying goes, it's better to resolve enemies than to make them. Martial God Li, you and our sect master are both Martial Gods.
"You should be working together to explore the path beyond Martial Gods. Why let outsiders' grudges lead to our own conflict?"
Xu Bao tried to soften his tone as much as possible.
Clearly, Dragonfist Sect didn't want to offend a Martial God for Cui Sheng's sake.
However, due to other considerations, he not only informed the sect master, Shi Shihu, but also had over a dozen others rush in from nearby courtyards.
While the Lifeform Force Field could easily crush Core Formation and Aura Cultivation experts, research had shown that using it put immense strain on the Martial God themselves.
The Lifeform Force Field condensed all of the Vitality, Qi, and Spirit in the body into a unique power. Extracting such a large amount would naturally affect the body's normal function.
It was like entering cryostasis—stay too long, and you might never wake up.
"Sect Master," Xu Bao called out softly. "The one standing beside him is Wen Xingchen."
Shi Shihu nodded.@@@@
One of his disciples had already mentioned this person along the way, so he had guessed the reason for their arrival.
However, Wen Xingchen wasn't the issue.
Shi Shihu's gaze landed on Li Pin, and he spoke in a deep voice.
"Martial God Li, Dragonfist Sect has no intention of becoming your enemy. If you're here to resolve a misunderstanding, we welcome you. But if you intend to make us your foe...." His voice intensified, echoing like a powerful, metallic clang, "We will fight to the end!"
As he spoke, his Vitality, Qi, and Spirit began to coalesce, and the outline of the Lifeform Force Field gradually took shape. "Now, tell me your decision."
"My intention... was made clear when I arrived."
Li Pin raised his hand and gestured. "Come, Sect Master of Dragonfist Sect, show me how you became a Martial God!"
"Then there's nothing more to discuss."
Shi Shihu locked eyes with Li Pin, his aura growing increasingly sharp. Yet Li Pin's expression remained unchanged.
In the next moment, his Lifeform Force Field erupted in a powerful surge from his body. "Then I'll oblige you!"
As Shi Shihu's Lifeform Force Field surged outward, he abruptly lunged forward.
By the time the field engulfed Li Pin, he had already leapt into the air, his form like a lion or tiger, carrying a wild and untamed ferocity capable of rending the very mountains and skies.
Taking advantage of Li Pin's brief inquiry, Shi Shihu quickly slapped the ground, sliding backward to create distance. He then propelled himself upright with one hand and shouted, "Blade!"
A young man in the Aura Cultivation realm swiftly hurled the Golden Thread Ring-Blade toward him. "Master, the blade!"
Shi Shihu didn't even look in the direction of his disciple. Relying on sound to locate the weapon, he swiftly moved his hand, precisely catching the large blade. Now, having wielded a weapon, Shi Shihu's aura grew even more ferocious and sharp.
"Kill!"
With a furious roar, the cry of a tiger and a dragon erupted from him, as his boiling qi and blood surged like flames, engulfing his entire body.
A terrifying aura radiated from Shi Shihu as he strode forward, swinging down a devastating slash.
"Azure Dragon Netherfire!"
The blade sliced through the air, creating a fierce friction that formed the faint illusion of a colossal dragon. It was like the dragon unleashed a fiery breath, scorching everything in its path.
Yet, instead of retreating or countering with an Aura Force punch, Li Pin stood firm, prepared to face the ferocious strike with nothing but his flesh and blood. What followed left even Wen Xingchen, who had unwavering faith in Li Pin, staring in disbelief.
Just as the fiery and violent blade struck Li Pin's head, a layer of brilliant blue electric spark exploded from his body.
Electric currents surged. Or rather, the combination of Celestial Magnetic and Lifeform Force Field generated a visible shockwave that collided fiercely with the blade. With a thunderous sound, it deflected the edge of the Golden Thread Ring-Balde.
The massive recoil transmitted through the blade into Shi Shihu's hands, causing his palms to tear, blood spurting forth.
Its force was far beyond what Shi Shihu could withstand. He staggered backward, unable to maintain his grip on the blade, which was knocked away by the explosive power.
This scene sent shockwaves through the nerves of every Dragonfist Sect martial artist and disciple!
Their sect master, an Extreme Martial Saint who broke through the shackles to reach the realm of Martial God, had delivered a full-force slash to the enemy's forehead. Yet not only did it fail to harm the opponent, his blade got knocked away by the opponent's power! How absurd was that!
However, things didn't end just yet.
Before the Golden Thread Ring-Blade could fly far, Li Pin, rooted with his qi sinking into his dantian, feet planted into the ground, made his move.[1]
He tensed as he stepped forward, his right hand shooting out with incredible speed to catch the sword in midair.
Sizzle, sizzle!
Visible blue electric sparks surged from his arm, spreading to his fingers, accompanied by the intense power of his boiling qi and blood.
As the electric spark and qi and blood reached their peak, Li Pin tightened his grips around the blade. The steel-forged, master-crafted Golden Thread Ring-Blade started to crack at a visible speed.
Each crack flickered with electric sparks.
In less than a second... the already damaged Golden Thread Ring-Blade could no longer withstand the pressure. With a decisive squeeze of his fingers, it shattered completely.
Bang!
Electric light exploded from the shattered blade, scattering several meters in all directions, along with shards of the broken sword.
Shi Shihu, who had been forced to retreat several steps from the recoil, stood frozen in disbelief
Not just him; the entire courtyard of the Dragonfist Sect, previously buzzing with murmurs, fell silent in that moment.
