Chapter 1242: A Hidden Ultimate

Upon noticing how weak Li Feng was, Fang Yi couldn’t help but grin and call out, “Have you been jerking yourself off too much?”

Yang Ze rolled his eyes. “As if you weren’t any worse yourself!”

Fang Yi scowled. “When have I ever been like him?”

Yang Ze replied, “When you shoot your signature shot.”

Fang Yi corrected, “It’s a spear strike!”

Sun Xiaowu echoed Zhang Lie’s sentiments. “It looks like Li Feng hasn’t mastered this technique.”

Yang Ze commented, “This sort of powerful technique naturally carries a commensurate cost.”

Li Feng nodded. “Indeed, [The Boundless Blade: Godkiller] takes a heavy toll on me mentally and physically, and I’m not sure how much longer I’ll be able to fight.”

Zhang Lie sheathed his blades, surprising the members of Team Zenith. Wasn’t he going to continue?

Zhang Lie began, “I was hoping you would be able to intuit something during this fight, but it looks like you’ve already set down a path entirely your own, and you’ve clearly kept in mind what I mentioned during the second realm. Just keep doing what you’re doing.”

Zhang Lie’s goal wasn’t to torture the members of Team Zenith, but rather to guide and advise them.

He had found Li Feng’s performance exemplary, far better than anticipated.

Li Feng urged, “No, Captain, I’d like to continue fighting for now.”

This fight was meant to be a way for Li Feng to prove himself, to see how his skills fared against the man he had always been emulating.

Li Feng continued, “I’d like to prove to myself that I haven’t wasted my efforts in the second and third realms—not to others, but to myself!”

Upon witnessing Li Feng’s resolute expression, Zhang Lie unsheathed his blades anew. “In that case, I’ll fight at full power. Can you continue?”

Li Feng replied, “I won’t continue using [The Boundless Blade: Godkiller] in what’s to follow.”

“You can’t maintain it?”

Li Feng shook his head. “I can’t threaten you with that technique without developing it further, so I have to use something else.”

Zhang Lie smiled. “You’ll need a stronger technique than that to threaten me, then.”

“I won’t disappoint you, Captain.”

Zhang Lie curled a finger and motioned for Li Feng to make his move. “In that case, let’s see the trump cards that you’ve been hiding.”

Li Feng nodded seriously. He raised his sword high overhead in a dazzling glow.

“[Holy Dragon Sword: Bleaching the World]!”

On closer inspection, the sword wasn’t giving off light; light was condensing around the sword.

All the light of the unified world gathered around the sword.

Heaven and earth suddenly lost color as the surroundings turned dim and dark, as though all that light had been snatched away. Li Feng and the area around him began to glow more brightly than the sub. The light grew more intense as the aura of the technique increased in strength.

He struck, and the world lost color.

White light saturated the world; everything was dyed white. All the aliens, genetic lifeforms, and hunters of the world suddenly found their eyes beset by a blinding glare, which had taken over their field of vision.

“Not bad!”

Zhang Lie’s voice rang out in the world of blinding white.

Two colors suddenly appeared, one red and one black.

“[Blades, Reverberate]!”

Two colors suddenly appeared on a canvas of white. The twin blades Guicang and Hanguang emitted a fearsome aura, shining as brightly as the sun and moon.

A blood-red and a black dragon manifested.

The two dragons twined around each other in a spiral, tearing apart the canvas and transforming into a human figure in the world of white.

Zhang Lie clutched Guicang in his left hand and Hanguang in his right. The two blades shone in unison, then gave off dazzling light as the twin dragons shot forward in unison like a twister.

Infused with the energy of the blood moon and the black sun, the twin dragons shattered the white world.

The hunters, lifeforms, and aliens of the unified world found their vision suddenly returning, not realizing what had passed.

“This isn’t all.”

Li Feng’s body began to glow as he prepared his next technique, one that seemed to be steeped in the illusory.

“[Dream of Light and Shadow]!”

AsA rainbow arc accompanied Zhang Lie’s slash, as though an aurora were visible in the sky. It shone in all the colors of the rainbow, momentarily hypnotizing the onlookers, even those possessed of resolute will like the members of Team Zenith.

Such was the strength of Li Feng’s blade.

Li Feng’s body suddenly split into tens of thousands of copies, each with a dazzling gaze of rainbow light. The rosy-hued light was captivating and transported those who saw it into a realm of illusion, making it impossible to distinguish which of the copies were real and which were fake.

Zhang Lie’s eyes morphed into a dragon’s pupils. He ignored the copies charging toward him from the front and swung Hanguang toward his back.

With the sound of clashing swords, the copies of Li Feng charging toward Zhang Lie from the front all passed through him like a mirage.

Zhang Lie commented, “I hadn’t expected you to pick up illusions as well.”

At some point, Li Feng had appeared behind Zhang Lie. His longsword was pointed at Zhang Lie’s back, but it had been blocked by Hanguang.

Li Feng replied, “I learned it all from you, Captain. Any technique is worthwhile as long as it’s effective.”

Zhang Lie continued, “To create these illusions by means of impeccable command of light, and then to confuse any onlookers with a captivating aurora… it looks like you’ve truly put in impressive effort and technical skill learned from the scientific principles of the Milky Way.”

Without a critical understanding of modern research from the Milky Way, it was impossible to produce a light-based skill that could induce hypnosis.

Li Feng replied, “Thank you for the praise, Captain. While facing the son of the king of keys, I found that indirect attacks were surprisingly effective, and I tried to focus my efforts into creating such a technique. It’s a pity that it didn’t work on you in the end.”

Zhang Lie shook his head. “You simply chose the wrong opponent. After a heated battle, most enemies would be tired and psychologically unprepared to resist your attack. However, I’m not quite so tired, and I can easily sense your true location from fluctuations in your genetic energy.”

Li Feng replied, “I might have believed you had I not seen your eyes turn into a dragon’s pupils.”
