Chen Fei stopped in midair, turned around, and looked at the sword radiance slashing toward him.
Cold light spilled in all directions from within the sword radiance; faintly, one could even hear the sound of space being frozen.
Bang!
Chen Fei swung his left hand and shattered the sword radiance with a single palm strike.
This sword radiance was merely Weng Li's casual blow. To a Sun Moon Realm cultivator, it was a desperate situation with certain death, but to the current Chen Fei, it was only a matter of lifting a hand.
Fewer than ten Rule Fragments placed him on roughly the same level as Meng Ji and the others, though he was undoubtedly quite a bit stronger.
At the Dao Fusion Realm Early Stage, the gap of a single Rule Fragment could sometimes create a difference in combat strength—unless one side cultivated an exceptional technique, or possessed some powerful supreme treasure or Dao artifact.
