Lin Tianyu watched the flying daggers streaking toward him at high speed, his eyes narrowing slightly. Threads of azure lightning flickered around his body, and even the space surrounding him seemed to ripple with faint wrinkles...
Fili smiled faintly, stepped sideways, and stood in front of Lin Tianyu. Raising both hands high, the white light in his hands surged, instantly forming a massive sphere of light. Li Yang's flying daggers were too fast—before Fili's sphere of light could reach its limit, the daggers had already arrived with a piercing shriek.
"Pfft!"
Lightning! Nothing but lightning. Li Yang's flying daggers were too fast; the daggers themselves could no longer be seen, only two bolts of lightning tearing through Fili's sphere of light in an instant. At the same moment, the ordinary iron daggers shattered into fragments. Yet at such terrifying speed, even those fragments were incredibly lethal.
Fili sucked in a cold breath. So many cuts had appeared across his body. Even protected by Holy Power, he had still been injured. One could only imagine how terrifying those flying daggers had been at that speed.
Holy Power was the unique force possessed by experts of the Holy See, exceptionally effective in both attack and healing.
Fili slowly closed his eyes. Sacred white light immediately blazed from his body, and the wounds left by the dagger fragments healed at a visible rate. Before long, the injuries on Fili's body had vanished without a trace.
Fili turned to Lin Tianyu and bowed slightly. "Respected Mr. Lin, this little fellow is not worth your intervention. I alone am enough for such a trivial matter." Lin Tianyu nodded in satisfaction, though the azure lightning around him still flickered in and out of sight.
Fili cast an envious glance at that azure lightning, but he knew such power could not be obtained through talent alone. It also required immense influence and countless sums of money. Otherwise, the Holy See would never invest so heavily in someone merely because of good talent.
Have I failed? Li Yang could clearly feel that the true energy in his body had been exhausted. The severe injuries left inside him by Demonic Battle Qi made it impossible for him to strike again.
Only after seeing that his employer was unharmed did El turn back toward Li Yang.
"You damned bastard! You actually still dared to dream of hurting Mr. Lin!" Shame and fury surged through El's heart. Who was he? One of the Eight Super Bodyguards of First Bodyguard Company - Black Demon. Trusting in his own strength, he had been certain that Li Yang would be finished after being struck by his Demonic Battle Qi. Yet he had never expected Li Yang to unleash an even stronger attack!
"Die!" El finally went mad in his humiliation and rage. His legs, carrying violent Demonic Battle Qi, smashed viciously toward Li Yang.
Even a massive boulder might have been shattered by that blow, let alone the weakened Li Qiang.
"Two level-five experts... hahaha, Heaven truly has not treated me poorly!" Li Yang looked at the legs rushing to claim his life, and a bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Defeated. I am defeated. I entered the Regret Realm and controlled a massive amount of heaven-and-earth spiritual energy into the flying daggers. Using the secret technique from the Star Realm Three Stages, I doubled the daggers' speed, and their attack power could even break through a level-five expert's defenses. But with such vast spiritual energy, I can no longer make the flying daggers change direction!"
Li Yang lowered his head. He had fallen into despair.
"But even if I die, I will not let you rest easy, Lin Tianyu! Regret Realm—Flying Dagger Acceleration!" Li Yang roared low in his heart. He suddenly raised his head, utterly disregarding El's legs about to crush him. His hands flashed like lightning, and the flying daggers shot forth in an instant.
"Die!" Li Yang's furious roar came from the depths of his life itself. All his strength, the power of his mind, the power of his regret, erupted completely. In an instant, the spiritual energy between heaven and earth poured into the two flying daggers at a horrifying speed. Everything in the world vanished, leaving behind only those two bolts of lightning!
Heaven and earth paled at that moment. In Li Yang's field of vision, there were only those two flying daggers shining with dazzling radiance. Looking at them, Li Yang smiled, a faint smile. "Xue, I'm coming." In an instant, Li Yang's mind sank into an indescribable state.
Gazing faintly at the flying daggers, Li Yang had neither desire nor demand, neither self nor other. He knew he was bound to die. What flowed through his heart now were the contents of every phone call with Jiang Xue, her crisp laughter, every tender moment of care she had given him while he was hospitalized, and the look in Jiang Xue's eyes each time she saw him...
Suddenly, Li Yang sensed heaven and earth. He sensed the power within El and Fili, and he also sensed that terrifying, formidable power inside Lin Tianyu. At the same time, he sensed the brothers from Security Bureau Group 9 rushing over from a hundred meters away. Most importantly, he sensed the flying daggers!
Melancholy Realm!
The third realm of the Star Realm Three Stages—Melancholy Realm. At the very instant before death, Li Yang had finally comprehended it: that mysterious realm of neither desire nor demand, neither self nor other, at the boundary between life and death.
The special effect of the Joyful Spirit Realm was Flying Dagger Direction Change. The special effect of the Regret Realm was flying dagger acceleration. Then what about the Melancholy Realm?
At this moment, Li Yang finally knew. Because he could now sense the flying daggers, sense everything about them. The flying daggers seemed to be part of his own body, as though controlled by his invisible hands.
Acceleration! Direction change!
Light flashed in Li Yang's eyes. At the instant between life and death, he saw hope for victory. The flying daggers, already at terrifying speed, became as nimble as swimming fish, constantly changing their trajectories. Fili, standing before Lin Tianyu, changed color.
Fili immediately let out a roar. Sacred white light blazed from his body, and a knight's sword at his waist flew out at once. At last, Fili had unleashed the strongest power of a level-five expert.
"Mr. Yang from the Security Bureau, why have you still not acted? Must I remind you?" Lin Tianyu asked the bodyguard sent by Security Bureau Group 11 indifferently.
Yang Yu said calmly, "Don't worry. When the two of them can no longer hold out, I will naturally act. For example, in a situation like this." Yang Yu's expression flushed, and his right hand immediately turned fiery red. His hand flashed like lightning, directly blocking the flying daggers, while his body moved in front of Lin Tianyu.
Little Li Flying Dagger... perhaps you are that kid from Security Bureau Group 9. Sigh, I have no choice but to act. Yang Yu sighed inwardly. He had guessed it from the moment he saw the flying daggers. After all, there was no one else in the underworld who knew Little Li Flying Dagger, and this was Shanghai. Most importantly, their ages were about the same.
Yang Yu's right hand began to emit a metallic gleam, while fiery red currents flowed across the surface of his body.
Although Li Yang could control the flying daggers' changes in direction, at such speed he only had time to alter their trajectories a few times, and each alteration was slight. He still could not directly turn them ninety degrees.
Therefore... Li Yang's flying daggers were blocked, blocked by the bodies of Fili and Yang Yu.
They did not touch Fili's sword or Yang Yu's palm. The flying daggers changed direction in an instant, striking Fili in the abdomen and Yang Yu in the shoulder.
"Hahaha, good boy! After only a little over twenty years, he has finally comprehended the Melancholy Realm. Now that he has comprehended all three realms, he is already close to the Dao of Nature. His future cultivation speed will be much faster. This Hegemon cannot be too stingy with energy either. I should help him a little, then tell him about that so-called wife of his!"
"Boom!"
"Ah!" El was blasted limply to one side, while Li Yang, who should have died on the spot, stood up. El's fierce strike had not left a single wound on him. Internal Energy now surged within his body, and his condition had reached its peak. Li Yang gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his right hand.
"Lin Tianyu, now is the moment for us to truly decide life and death!" Li Yang stared solemnly at Lin Tianyu. At the instant he comprehended the Melancholy Realm, he had discovered that the terrifying energy within Lin Tianyu far surpassed El and the others. This meant Lin Tianyu was surely a super expert beyond level five. Even though Li Yang had reached an unprecedented peak, he still had no confidence, which was why he spoke of deciding life and death.
"Li Yang, stop!" Meng Tian's voice suddenly rang out.
Tomato was alone in his school dormitory now and felt somewhat lonely. Today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so Tomato still wished everyone a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, and may every household be reunited!
