"Come on!"
Facing the encirclement of more than twenty transcendent beings, Yi Fei Cheng chose to make the first move.
He stomped his foot on the rippling sea surface, and an incredibly powerful aura swept out, churning up monstrous waves that surged outwards.
The more than twenty transcendent beings each used their own methods, instantly dispersing the surging seawater that rushed towards them. But in that brief moment, Yi Fei Cheng turned into a dark shadow, flashing across the sea's surface and appearing before Bell, unleashing a punch.
A simple, unadorned punch, without any fancy tricks.
However, this was a punch from a Saint Domain powerhouse. Even without employing any specific techniques, the immense power contained within the fist made Bell's heart pound.
"Light Wall!" Bell drew circles with his hands, a faint silver light appearing between his palms. He pushed his hands forward, and a silver light wall formed in front of his chest.
The fist struck the silver light wall. The light wall lasted for less than a breath before shattering.
Using this brief interval, Bell retreated rapidly, creating distance between himself and Yi Fei Cheng, and stared at him with a grim expression.
Yi Fei Cheng frowned slightly, already feeling the situation was troublesome. His full-power punch, aimed at a single opponent, had failed to injure him, making him sense the difficulty of this battle.
Similarly, Bell had not expected Yi Fei Cheng's strength to be so formidable.
Among this group of transcendent beings, he was considered one of the top-tier. Under a full burst, he could unleash power comparable to an ordinary Saint for a very short period.
Yet, facing Yi Fei Cheng, his "Light Wall" had been broken in less than a breath.
"If it were a one-on-one fight, I doubt I could last three moves against him! The gap between transcendent beings and Saints is truly immense," Bell sighed inwardly.
"However, I am not fighting alone!"
"Everyone attack together, don't give him a chance to pick us off one by one!" Bell shouted and attacked first.
The other participants heard his call and did not hesitate. Yi Fei Cheng's speed and strength had shown them the vast difference in their abilities. If they didn't cooperate, they would likely not be able to stop him.
The more than twenty transcendent beings, each unleashing their unique skills, whether light or darkness, hurled various attacks towards Yi Fei Cheng.
"Damn it!"
This was the first time Yi Fei Cheng had faced such a situation. Although he had been mentally prepared, facing it directly made him realize he had underestimated these transcendent beings.
"Sky Water Shield!"
Yi Fei Cheng did not hesitate and directly employed a defensive technique taught to him by Zhang Fan.
He gently stomped his foot on the sea surface. Under Yi Fei Cheng's guidance, the seawater seemed to gain life, forming a circular water curtain above his head, enveloping him.
The Sky Water Shield was the ultimate defensive technique of the Heavenly Water Palace from the Five Elements Immortal Sect in the Myriad Domains Starry Sky. Zhang Fan had used it before when he dueled with 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 Cheng's current level, yet even with the attacks of two Innate Grandmasters, he remained unharmed.
Yi Fei Cheng's mastery of this defensive technique was naturally far behind Zhang Fan's, but he had grasped some of its essence...
More than twenty powerful attacks rained down on Yi Fei Cheng, all of which were blocked by the Sky Water Shield.
With each incoming attack, a thunderous boom, like that of a great bell, resonated as the water light flowed across the Sky Water Shield, which remained utterly intact.
"These damn brutes are really going all out!"
Although uninjured, maintaining the Sky Water Shield against so many attacks had consumed a significant amount of Yi Fei Cheng's true qi, causing his face to flush slightly.
"It seems I can't drag this out for too long, or I'll be at a disadvantage." Although Yi Fei Cheng's true qi was far deeper than that of the transcendent beings, their sheer numbers made a prolonged fight extremely unfavorable for him.
"I should take care of this guy first!" Yi Fei Cheng's gaze fell upon Bell, with silver hair and silver eyes, standing in the distance. Killing intent filled his eyes.
Lin Hao Tian and Si You You had specifically instructed him to eliminate that fellow from the Big Circle Gang.
For the sake of his reputation, Yi Fei Cheng would also go all out.
"Die!"
Yi Fei Cheng lunged at Bell again. Under his full power, the might he unleashed caused all the transcendent beings to tremble.
However, they knew they could not retreat. If Yi Fei Cheng were to truly kill Bell, they would not only lose a top combatant but their morale would also be severely hit, making it difficult to contend with Yi Fei Cheng.
Therefore, no matter who Yi Fei Cheng attacked, as soon as he made a move, all the transcendent beings present would launch an all-out assault to intercept him.
After several attempts, Yi Fei Cheng failed to achieve his goal. Bell, relying on the strength of his companions, managed to hold him off.
"It seems I have to use that divine ability again." Yi Fei Cheng had already consumed more than thirty percent of his true qi, while the transcendent beings had consumed very little.
Yi Fei Cheng knew that without resorting to special means, it would be difficult to kill Bell while he was protected by the other transcendent beings.
Vast true qi surged from Yi Fei Cheng's body, continuously converging onto his fists.
A phantom image of a white tiger beast materialized above Yi Fei Cheng's head. The white tiger roared, its low growl shaking the very soul, like a ferocious beast from the primordial era, causing an involuntary tremor in one's heart.
"It's that move again!"
Yi Fei Cheng had used this technique before when dueling with Cook, and it had severely injured Cook. Naturally, all parties were highly vigilant.
Even after ascending to the Saint Domain, upon unleashing this fist technique, Yi Fei Cheng felt that more than half of his true qi was drained, leaving him with less than ten percent. The consumption was extraordinarily high.
"White Tiger Breaks the Army!"
Yi Fei Cheng stared at Bell, revealing his pearly white teeth. His handsome face bore a chilling smile that made Bell's scalp tingle!
"Light Armor of Supremacy!"
Bell did not hesitate and immediately unleashed his strongest defensive technique. Silver light emerged from his body, condensing into a thick set of silver armor that encased him completely.
"Let's resist together! After he uses this move, his true qi will be depleted. As long as we block it, he will be at our mercy!"
While unleashing his strongest defensive technique, Bell also rallied his companions, hoping they would resist together.
However, it was clear that unity was no longer present. Yi Fei Cheng's punch was clearly aimed at Bell, and its ferocity instilled a sense of fear in them, giving them an illusion of inevitability.
Furthermore, they could all see that Yi Fei Cheng had consumed a tremendous amount of energy when using this move. Even if he managed to kill Bell, he would find it difficult to contend with the remaining transcendent beings.
Therefore, after analyzing the pros and cons, they all tacitly retreated.
"Bell, if you die, I will definitely avenge you!" the sword-wielding samurai from Japan declared righteously, yet he was dodging faster than anyone.
Bell saw the looks in the eyes of the transcendent beings around him and immediately understood that in the face of a Saint's desperate ultimate move, they would not join him in resisting.
"Since that's the case, then come!" Bell stared resolutely at Yi Fei Cheng, his inner struggles ceasing.
