Chen Fei halted in midair, turned around, and looked at the sword light slashing toward him.
Cold radiance spilled from within the sword light, and faintly, one could even hear the sound of space freezing over.
Bang!
Chen Fei swung his left hand and shattered the sword light with a single palm strike.
That sword light had merely been a casual blow from Weng Li. To a Sun Moon Realm cultivator, it would have been a certain-death predicament, but to Chen Fei now, it was nothing more than a casual gesture.
No more than ten Rule Fragments—he was on the same level as Meng Ji and the others, yet undoubtedly much stronger.
At the Dao Integration Realm Early Stage, the difference of a single Rule Fragment could sometimes determine the gap in combat strength, unless one side cultivated an exceptional technique or possessed some powerful supreme treasure or Dao Artifact.
Otherwise, under normal circumstances, the number of Rule Fragments one had comprehended could reflect the true strength of a Dao Integration Realm cultivator.
This was true in the Dao Integration Realm Early Stage because sixth-rank cultivation techniques had only just begun. Only upon reaching the Dao Integration Realm Mid-stage and above would the differences between techniques begin to show.
