"Come on!"
Facing the encirclement of over twenty transcendent beings, Yi Fei City chose to strike first.
He stomped hard on the rippling sea surface, and an incomparably powerful aura fluctuation spread out, stirring up monstrous waves that surged outwards.
The twenty-odd transcendent beings each used their own methods, instantly dispersing the surging seawater that rushed towards them. But in that fleeting moment, Yi Fei City transformed into a black shadow, flashing across the sea and appearing before Bell, unleashing a punch.
It was a simple punch, unadorned, without any flashy maneuvers.
But this was, after all, a punch thrown by a Saint Realm expert. Even without employing any techniques, the immense power contained within that fist made Bell's heart pound with alarm.
"Light Wall of Extremity!" Bell drew circles with his hands, and a faint silver light appeared between his palms. With a push of his hands, a silver light wall formed in front of his chest.
The fist landed on the silver light wall. The wall lasted for less than a breath before it exploded with a roar.
Using this brief interval, Bell retreated rapidly, creating distance between himself and Yi Fei City, and stared at him with a face as grim as the deep water.
Yi Fei City frowned slightly, already feeling that the situation was troublesome. His full-power punch, aimed at just one person, had not even managed to injure him, making him sense the difficulty of this battle.
Similarly, Bell had not expected Yi Fei City's strength to be so formidable.
Among this group of transcendent beings, he was considered one of the top existences. At full power, he could unleash a might comparable to an ordinary Saint in a very short period.
Yet, he never imagined that his 'Light Wall of Extremity' would be shattered in less than a breath by Yi Fei City.
"If it were a one-on-one fight, I'm afraid I wouldn't last three moves against him! The gap between transcendent beings and Saints is truly immense," Bell thought, shaking his head with a sigh.
"However, I am not fighting alone after all!"
"Let's attack together, don't give him a chance to pick us off one by one!" Bell shouted and made the first move.
The other participants heard this and did not hesitate. Yi Fei City's speed and strength had made them keenly aware of the vast difference between them. If they didn't join forces, they would likely have difficulty stopping him.
The over twenty transcendent beings each unleashed their unique techniques, be it light or darkness. Various powers manifested into moves that rained down upon Yi Fei City.
"Holy shit!"
This was the first time Yi Fei City had faced such a situation. Although he had been mentally prepared, facing it in reality made him realize he had underestimated this group of transcendent beings.
"Heavenly Water Shield!"
Yi Fei City didn't hesitate, directly deploying a defensive technique taught to him by Zhang Fan.
He lightly stomped his foot on the sea surface, and with Yi Fei City's guidance, the seawater seemed to come alive, forming a circular water curtain above his head that enveloped him.
The Heavenly Water Shield was the strongest defensive technique of the Heavenly Water Palace of the Five Elements Immortal Sect in the Myriad Domain Starry Sky. Zhang Fan had used it before when dueling the two Innate Grandmasters of the Eight Extremes Gate at Azure Wave Lake.
At that time, his strength was not as great as Yi Fei City's now, yet after unleashing it, he remained unharmed by the attacks of the two Innate Grandmasters.
Yi Fei City's mastery of this defensive technique naturally fell far short of Zhang Fan's, but it still possessed some of its essence…
The more than twenty powerful attacks landed consecutively on Yi Fei City, all of them blocked by the Heavenly Water Shield.
With each attack that struck the Heavenly Water Shield, a rumbling sound like that of a great bell echoed. Water light flowed across the shield, which remained undamaged.
"These bastards are really ruthless!"
Although unharmed, sustaining the Heavenly Water Shield against so many attacks had consumed a significant amount of Yi Fei City's true qi, causing his face to turn slightly flushed.
"It seems I can't drag this out for too long, or I'll be at too much of a disadvantage." Although Yi Fei City's true qi was far deeper than that of the transcendent beings, their sheer numbers made a prolonged battle extremely unfavorable to him.
"I'll take care of this guy first!" Yi Fei City's gaze fell upon Bell, the silver-haired and silver-eyed figure in the distance, his eyes filled with killing intent.
Lin Haotian and Si Youyou had both instructed him to eliminate that fellow from the Big Circle Gang.
For the sake of pride, Yi Fei City would also go all out.
"Die!"
Yi Fei City lunged at Bell again. His full-power attack unleashed a might that startled all the transcendent beings.
However, they knew they could not retreat. If Yi Fei City were to kill Bell, not only would they lose a top combatant, but their morale would also be severely struck, making it difficult to contend with Yi Fei City any longer.
Therefore, regardless of whom Yi Fei City attacked, once he made a move, all the transcendent beings present would intercept him without holding back.
After several attempts, Yi Fei City failed to succeed, with Bell being held back by the combined strength of his companions.
"It seems I have to use that divine ability again." Yi Fei City's true qi consumption had already exceeded thirty percent, while the transcendent beings' consumption remained very low.
Yi Fei City knew that without employing a special method, it would be difficult to kill Bell while he was protected by the other transcendent beings.
Vast true qi surged from Yi Fei City's body, continuously converging onto his fists.
A phantom image of a white tiger beast materialized above Yi Fei City's head. The white tiger roared, its low growl resonating with a primal power that sent shivers down one's spine, like a ferocious beast from the primordial era.
"It's that move again!"
Yi Fei City had used this move when he dueled Cook, defeating him with a single strike, which had naturally made all parties quite wary.
Even now, having entered the Saint Realm, Yi Fei City felt that more than half of his true qi was drained after unleashing this fist technique, leaving him with less than ten percent, an exceptionally staggering consumption.
"White Tiger Breaks the Army!"
Yi Fei City stared at Bell, revealing his white teeth. His handsome face bore a chilling smile that made Bell's scalp tingle!
"Light Armor of Extremity!"
Bell did not hesitate, directly deploying his strongest defensive technique. Silver light emerged from his body, coalescing into a thick set of silver armor that completely encased him.
"Let's resist together! After he uses this move, he'll have very little true qi left. As long as we withstand it, he'll be at our mercy!"
While deploying his strongest defensive technique, Bell also rallied his companions, hoping they could resist together.
However, it was clear that they were not as united this time. Yi Fei City's punch was clearly aimed at Bell, and its ferocity made them tremble with fear, giving them an illusion of irresistibility.
Furthermore, everyone could see that Yi Fei City had expended immense energy while using this move. Even if he managed to kill Bell, he would struggle to contend with the remaining transcendent beings.
Therefore, after weighing the pros and cons, they all tacitly retreated.
"Bell, if you die, I will avenge you!" the sword-wielding samurai from Japan declared righteously, but he was the quickest to dodge.
Seeing the expressions of the transcendent beings around him, Bell instantly understood that facing a Saint's desperate ultimate move, they would not stand with him.
"Since that's the case, then come!" Bell stared resolutely at Yi Fei City, his heart no longer struggling.
