Overbearing Immortal Doctor Chapter 1345 - 1444: Unmatched Strength
Previously on Overbearing Immortal Doctor...
"He truly defeated a True Essence Level 6 Master, perhaps. If he hasn't reached twenty and can slay a Level 6 Master of True Essence, such a peerless prodigy must be met by me!"
Shi Luotan was no fool; the moment Qin Feng displayed a sliver of his power, he immediately accepted Xing He's words as truth.
*Clang!*
Under Qin Feng's formidable Sword Dao, Schroeder was driven entirely onto the defensive.
"Little brat, no matter your skill, you cannot overcome my movement technique and speed. You'll never kill me!" Schroeder exclaimed, evading while a shiver ran down his spine.
"Fool, had your movement technique not spurred and aided mine, you would have been dead already," Qin Feng retort ed, employing his own movement technique to vanish within the shadows and swiftly pursue.
*Boom!*
Sword light clashed with sword light in an instant, echoing repeatedly. The enemy's sword light was peculiar and elusive, yet Qin Feng's was vast and potent.
Xue Ding'e's agility and speed were breathtaking, far surpassing that of an ordinary Level 4 Master of the Yuan Dynasty. However, his swordsmanship strength was relatively lacking, even weaker than Qin Feng's. Nevertheless, his nimble footwork allowed him to continuously evade Qin Feng's assaults.
With a single sword strike from Qin Feng, augmented by his Sword Dao, Schroeder found no opening for battle.
"Unacceptable."
"His movement technique grows ever more profound. I can no longer evade it," Schroeder declared, his voice laced with anxiety.
"Has his movement technique always possessed such effectiveness, or is it improving in real-time?"
"It appears to be enhancing continuously. For a movement technique to advance so significantly in such a brief span is utterly inconceivable," remarked Sima Mo, Zhai Zunzhe, and Gu Yuyan, all staring in astonishment. These were absolute experts, their standing on the seventh floor of the academy unquestionable, possessing vast experience. Yet, regardless of their accumulated knowledge, they had never witnessed a movement technique improve so drastically during a single life-or-death struggle.
"This defies the heavens!"
"I refuse to believe it. His movement technique must have always been this potent; he simply wasn't utilizing its full extent earlier!"
"There have been undeniable gains from this confrontation. Were it not for the necessity of separating life from death, I might not wish for your demise," Qin Feng chuckled heartily, pressing his advantage against Schroeder.
Truthfully, even at this moment, his movement technique lagged behind Schroeder's. It was only through his significantly greater power that he could completely suppress Xue Ding'e. It wasn't that the Void Shadow movement technique was inferior to Schroeder's, but rather Qin Feng's cultivation base was too low. If only he had also cultivated to the fourth level of the Yuan Dynasty.
"You mongrel, let's see who perishes today!"
Schroeder's eyes burned with bloodlust.
"Hm?" Qin Feng's brow furrowed as he observed that, despite his grave injuries, Schroeder was charging deeper into the Chain Bridge.
"Magnificent!"
After enduring bombardment from fireballs, icicles, and lightning, his Qi surged, elevating his cultivation by one level to True Essence Level 6, proceeding at several times the normal rate.
"Fierce! Such speed and power in his attacks; even Xue Ding'e struggles to evade."
"If his strength can be matched, and he is attacked simultaneously, he is bound to die."
"I was compelled into this sword fight. I never imagined a mere sword could possess such destructive force."
While Zhai Zunzhe, Sima Mo, and Gu Yuyan engaged in this discussion, their expressions remained relaxed. After all, neither Qin Feng nor Shi Luotan were their disciples. It made no difference who lived or died; it would only be beneficial if both perished.
Meanwhile, the Grim Reaper stood by, silent, observing with unease.
"Jian Yi, this is a battle of life and death! Haha, are you frightened?" Xue Ding'e taunted once more.
"Did the power of True Essence Level 6 end me?" Qin Feng's brow creased. In this perilous domain, he dared not experiment. A single misstep could mean his demise.
"Since you are so eager for death, so be it," Qin Feng sighed softly and followed.
"The treasured sword is poised for a deathblow!"
"Two lunatics! To engage in a fight to the death in such a precarious location, surrounded by multiple hostile powers, they are courting their own doom."
Zhai Zunzhe, Sima Mo, and Gu Yuyan all scoffed.
At this juncture, Qin Feng and Shi Luotan resumed their fierce engagement.
*Crack!*
Just as Qin Feng's sword slashed towards Schroeder, a terrifying bolt of lightning struck him. The lightning's speed was astonishingly swift. By the time Qin Feng perceived the threat, he had no time to evade or even adjust his blade.
Supreme is Immortal!
*Boom!*
Qin Feng's sword light was directly repelled by the lightning, which then slammed into him. The lightning's power was no less than Xie Zhenshan's most potent strike. Qin Feng's entire body instantly erupted in dazzling seven-colored light, and simultaneously, he could not help but spew a mouthful of fresh blood.
"What!"
"Impossible for him to be killed by True Essence Level 6 power!"
What kind of physical defense is this?
For a moment, Zhai Zunzhe and the others were utterly astonished. Facing the might of a sixth-level True Essence cultivator, even a surprise attack would typically result in severe injuries. Yet, Qin Feng, though struck, appeared to be not critically wounded.
"You must die! You absolutely must die!" Schroeder's eyes turned bloodshot as he lunged forward with desperation. If he had previously relied on speed to find openings with his varied and peculiar swordsmanship, his current attacks were frenzied and aggressive, driven by Xue Ding'e's madness.
This was because Qin Feng's physical defense had also instilled fear in him. In such a perilous area, death could befall him at any second.
A dazzling radiance erupted from Schroeder's saber, unleashing an unrestrained torrent of power.
The swordplay was ferocious.
"With a clang." A loud noise ensued as Qin Feng's long sword met the saber's onslaught time and again. For a brief period, he seemed to be on the defensive.
"Boom!"
At this critical juncture, another terrifying fireball struck Qin Feng, exacerbating his precarious situation.
"A perfect opportunity!"
Schroeder's eyes gleamed.
"Slash."
Without a moment's hesitation, at the instant he perceived Qin Feng being hit again, a cold beam of saber light pierced through Qin Feng's sword formation. As the saying goes, 'strike while the iron is hot.' A pivotal shift could alter the entire battlefield. Thus, Schroeder committed his full might to this attack.
"Huh?" Qin Feng immediately focused on the incoming blade.
Whoosh
The fearsome saber slashed directly into Qin Feng.
"Haha." Schroeder's surprise was mixed with a degree of trepidation.
The saber that struck Qin Feng seemed to encounter a frame of steel, recoiling forcefully. Schroeder's hand was even shaken open, his tiger's mouth bruised.
"Boom!" A powerful recoil sent Xue Ding'e nearly flying backward simultaneously.
He had never envisioned such an outcome. The difference between being prepared and caught off guard was immense!
Even an ordinary person understands that if someone intends to push them, having prior awareness allows them to brace for the impact and at most take a couple of steps back.
However, if blindsided by a sudden shove, one might be sent sprawling instantly! A formidable expert, if caught unprepared, could even be slain by someone significantly weaker!
Such is the power of preparedness.
Schroeder let out a horrified scream, but immediately thereafter, he was struck by lightning and perished on the spot!
Originally, his movement technique was just enough to evade the bombardment from a sixth-level True Essence cultivator. After engaging with Qin Feng, both his speed and movement technique had been severely impacted, pushing them to their absolute limits. Therefore, being struck twice by the fireballs didn't instantly incapacitate him; a degree of luck was involved in his survival. But this time, taken completely by surprise and flung backward by Qin Feng, he was unable to dodge the intertwining lightning.
Lightning represents the pinnacle of speed among all forces. Yet, even as he died, Schroeder's eyes remained wide with disbelief, fixed on Qin Feng.
"Hmph, don't even dream about it. When facing the power of sixth-level True Essence, I can withstand three to five direct hits. What chance do you, with your fourth-level True Essence power, have of killing me?" Qin Feng shook his head and sighed.
