(PS: Let me say something: Why does the protagonist clearly look capable of cutting down his opponent in just a few strokes, yet insist on exchanging so many moves, making it seem like he isn't completely crushing them? Setting aside writing technique, plot setup, and so on, let's only talk about the logic: The protagonist's opponents at this stage all possess mystical powers, and those mystical powers come in all kinds. Without figuring out an opponent's hidden trump cards, if the protagonist rashly unleashes "Blood Rage," he could overturn the boat in the gutter. For example, if Li Fei immediately expended 1,000 Blood Souls to use Blood Rage, then another 4,000 Blood Souls to transform them into power with the Artifact Refining Mystical Power, thinking, I'll kill you in one slash!—only for the opponent to possess a mystical power like Thorns Shield, along with other mystical powers to strengthen Thorns Shield and enhance its damage reflection. Li Fei would expend 5,000 Blood Souls to strike with one slash, only to take 4,000 points of reflected damage.
Oops, the protagonist killed himself with one slash~)
Li Fei directly rode the wind back to Datong Prefecture City and returned to Border Prefecture.
Border Jingru, who had been anxiously waiting for news inside the residence, immediately came out to greet him, her face full of concern. "Marquis, are you all right?"
Li Fei casually recounted the outcome of the battle.
After hearing him out, Border Jingru showed little joy. Instead, worry filled her face. "If the Xiao Family wants to interfere in this matter, it won't be easy to deal with. In the end, even if we overturn the case in our hands, at most we can force the Lu Family to abandon one or two core figures. Convicting Lu Wenzheng is impossible.
