She took the initiative to spar with Li Fei, thus leading to this battle.
Having witnessed Li Fei's prowess outside Vajra City, Ning Qingman avoided close combat with him, opting to attack from a distance.
Her [Sword Dissolving] technique can decipher any Taoism in the world, aiming to remotely carry Sword Qi with Power of Dao to attempt deconstructing Li Fei's [Only I have the unique thod].
However, the Power of Dao dissipated automatically within ten zhang in front of Li Fei, leaving Ning Qingman no chance to decode it.
Without the attachnt of Power of Dao, re Sword Qi was insufficient to harm Li Fei.
Thus, Li Fei stood still as Ning Qingman executed various techniques, none of which even touched his clothes.
Ning Qingman approached Li Fei and shook her head:
"A Martial Saint against you is at a great disadvantage."
The strongest aspect of a Martial Saint is close combat, and if she could wield her sword close to Li Fei, [Sword Dissolving] would be even more potent.
Yet, once in close range, she wouldn't even be able to use [Sword Dissolving].
"Even a True Monarch is at a great disadvantage against ."
Li Fei chuckled.
Within a hundred miles' radius, he could directly 'see' the Qi Fortune of a True Monarch, thereby locking onto the opponent's true position.
This effectively ans he's engaged in close combat with the True Monarch.
Ning Qingman stood before him, musing:
"Facing your Taoism feels similar to when I face Lin Tianyi's Taoism."
In theory, her [Sword Dissolving] technique could unravel Lin Tianyi's [Leader of the Great Dao].
If unraveled, Lin Tianyi's power wouldn't be as formidable, giving her a chance to win.
But in practice, her [Sword Dissolving] t Lin Tianyi's Taoism like an egg hits a rock, instantly crushed without a chance to decode!
It was the sa just now when she sparred with Li Fei; the Power of Dao against Li Fei's [Only I have the unique thod] also beca void instantly, without effect.
Apart from [Leader of the Great Dao] and [Only I have the unique thod], Ning Qingman can achieve decoding effects against any other Taoism with varying speeds.
"I look forward to you facing Lin Tianyi once again."
Ning Qingman remarked.
Li Fei responded with a smile, "Alright, let's go together after I'm done with this."
Ning Qingman: "What else do you need to attend to?"
Li Fei: "I'll first go to the Great Desert, and then I'll head to the Extre Abyss."
Ning Qingman: "Let's go. I'll accompany you."
Li Fei: "Okay."
They boarded the flying boat, heading toward the Southern Border.
...
Xuanji City.
Xuanmo Royal Mansion.
After Wang Chengze announced his retreat, the bustling Xuanji City gradually quieted down.
People who ca from all directions to congratulate departed one after another, and the Wang family acted low-key as per Wang Chengze's request.
In the secret chamber, Wang Chengze ceased his ditation and opened his eyes, filled with undisguised joy.
In that 'crossing' contest over a dozen days ago, he successfully broke the realm, ascended to the peak, and beca a new Martial Saint!
However, Wang Chengze did not announce it publicly, nor had he told anyone in the Wang family.
He remained in seclusion, familiarizing himself with the new realm.
Breaking the realm, yet hiding in a dark chamber, unable to tell anyone.
This joy, Wang Chengze could only enjoy by himself.
But he relished it.
Qilian Guanshi once broke the realm silently, hid, and almost killed Li Fei in Cuiqing City!
Wang Chengze considered his scheming not inferior to that of the Grassland's Great Grandmaster, so he could also endure.
He intended to keep this trump card hidden until the most opportune mont.
"Upon ascending to the peak, one realizes how vast the world is; previously, I was but a frog in a well."
Wang Chengze muttered to himself.
Then his gaze beca fiery.
Nevertheless, he had finally made it onto the highest stage in the world!
"Wang Chengze—"
Just as Wang Chengze was indulging in visions of his expansive future, a powerful voice broke through the outer Silence Array, penetrated the secret chamber:
"Li Fei?"
Wang Chengze was startled.
The True Power flowing in this Sound Technique was strong, even fusing Martial Arts True Intent and Space-Type Divine Skills.
Apart from the world's number one, only Li Fei could perfectly blend Martial Arts Heart Spirit into Magic and achieve such strength.
"Co out to et —"
Li Fei's voice continued.
This voice echoed across Xuanji City, indiscriminately breaking through nurous Silence Arrays!
Alongside Ning Qingman, Li Fei stood hovering above Xuanji City.
On the day Zuo Jun broke the realm, he sensed through Qi Fortune Perception that soone from the south succeeded in Breaking the Realm and Becoming a Saint.
His first reaction was that the person was Wang Chengze.
Having personally evaluated Wang Chengze as first on the Heavenly List, Li Fei naturally had a better grasp of his foundations than others.
The opponent was indeed the closest among all Great Grandmasters to being a Martial Saint.
Breaking the realm at a relatively easier opportunity, aided by the National Fortune of King Xuanmo, it's reasonable that he could succeed in ascending to the peak.
Thus, Li Fei brought Ning Qingman directly to Xuanji City to verify this matter.
Wang Chengze thought he had concealed his breakthrough well, unknown to anyone.
Little did he know that after becoming a Martial Saint, to Li Fei's eyes, he was as conspicuous as a torch in the Dark Night!
As he himself had realized, before reaching the peak, he was rely a frog in a well, unaware of the thods of Peak Strong Persons.
Even before arriving at Xuanji City, Li Fei had already pinpointed Wang Chengze, prompting him to directly call Wang Chengze out.
The entire Xuanji City was shocked; so wondered who dared to call King Xuanmo by na in the sky.
Many in the Wang family recognized Li Fei; where they initially planned to activate the City Defense Array, now no one dared to ntion it.
Soon, a figure soared from within the royal mansion, arriving in the sky.
Wang Chengze knew he could not hide, intentionally suppressing his aura as he approached Li Fei and Ning Qingman.
He took the initiative to salute Li Fei:
"Greetings, Duke Jing'an."
He is the King Xuanmo, while Li Fei is rely a duke and should have saluted him first.
Yet Wang Chengze fully understood how his kingly position ca to be, clear enough not to misjudge.
"This must be Sword Immortal Ning, correct? Your reputation precedes you!"
Wang Chengze bowed to Ning Qingman as well.
Ning Qingman nodded to him.
"I was unaware of Duke Jing'an's arrival, apologies for not welcoming you sooner; why not co to my humble mansion for a chat?"
Wang Chengze lowered his stature.
As soone newly ascending to the peak, he indeed could be patient.
But Li Fei showed no courtesy:
"Wang Chengze, you secretly broke the realm without reporting it; what are your intentions?"
Wang Chengze was taken aback, eting Li Fei's eyes.
He intentionally suppressed his aura; Peak Strong Persons, unless deliberately displaying their Taoism, are hard for others to perceive.
Yet he hadn't expected Li Fei to expose him in one sentence.
"This..."
Just with one eye contact, Wang Chengze knew he couldn't hide it, so he candidly stated:
"I only just broke the realm, preferring not to over-publicize; Duke Jing'an, why go to such lengths?"
Li Fei looked at him and shook his head:
"I know your plans; you aim to erge as a Martial Saint when Marshal Wenren and I lead troops to expedition the West Continent, with the Da Lan Dynasty's rear defenses vulnerable, intending to change the situation dramatically!
Otherwise, breaking the realm and ascending to the peak is life's utmost joy; why hide it so arduously?"
Wang Chengze's expression remained unchanged, his brows furrowing:
"With an intent to afflict one with a cri, words are never lacking to justify it. I rely did not announce my breakthrough, yet Duke Jing'an accuses of plotting rebellion; how absurd!"
Li Fei's deanor was indifferent:
"Are you unwilling to admit guilt then?"
Wang Chengze finally beca angry, simultaneously sensing danger.
"This alleged cri is baseless; how could I confess?!"
"The Da Lan Dynasty seeks to unify the world; how can 'baseless' convince the hearts of all under heaven?!"
His voice also echoed through the entire city, spreading far and wide.
Li Fei laughed:
"Fine, King Xuanmo has broken the realm and ascended to Saint; congratulations are in order."
"I, Duke Jing'an, have co today to celebrate, wishing to engage in duel through martial arts!"
"King Xuanmo, please—"
Wang Chengze's color changed fiercely.
He finally understood, today Li Fei was not here to rationalize but to bully!
