This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

"Since you have come to observe the ceremony, you should offer a gift!"

Qi Ming's voice echoed from the sky dome:

"The New Heaven Association presents a gift to the Da Lan Dynasty—"

As the words fell, the 'iron wall' on Li Fei's path of destiny suddenly transformed into a torrent, raging towards him with overwhelming ferocity!

At the same time, inside the Imperial Study Room, the Emperor's face changed, and the jade seal in his hand radiated brilliance once again.

He understood why Qi Ming chose today, the moment of Li Fei's breakthrough, to reveal his identity suddenly.

Any hidden card, when used for the first time, has the strongest effect because no one is aware and it's difficult to prevent.

To what extent can the impact of a quietly breaking-through True Monarch of Spell reach?

Is it really necessary to make such an ostentatious move just to stop a junior still in the Tao Foundation Stage from breaking through, even at the expense of exposing his greatest hidden card?

Even though Li Fei is the Ancient and Modern First Dao Foundation, with incredible future potential, it still seems like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes.

Wouldn't it be better to find an opportunity to kill in secret; why publicly expose oneself?

Now, with Qi Ming suddenly taking action against Li Fei, people finally saw his real target—

It's not Li Fei.

Or rather, Li Fei is just incidental, part of buy one get one free.

Deep within the Imperial Palace, in a heavily guarded palace not only with Forbidden Army experts but also True Masters from Righteous Law Pavilion stationed.

This is where State Preceptor Yun Shu closed off.

After the fierce battle with Qing Xu True Monarch, Yun Shu had suffered severe inner injuries, and had been secluded for more than a year, only being summoned by the Emperor once to inquire about Li Fei.

All other times were spent in retreat within this palace.

Yun Shu's Taoism is the way of 'Analyze', and after becoming State Preceptor, he chose the great path of 'Support Dragon'.

The path Qing Xu tread on the peak is 'Rise on the Dragon', establishing an Earthly Taoist Country.

Yun Shu's path is to assist the Da Lan Dynasty unify the world.

As long as the Da Lan Dynasty can conquer the West Continent and achieve unprecedented grand unification, Yun Shu can rise with the momentum, surpassing the realm of True Monarch and step onto the peak!

Therefore, both Qing Xu and Qi Ming are Yun Shu's rivals in the great path!

Similarly, Yun Shu is Qi Ming's rival on the great path.

Both being Peak Strong People, there isn't necessarily a higher or lower between Martial Saint and True Monarch.

Yet, in terms of the diversity and difficulty of preventing tactics, True Monarch is certainly stronger.

In direct combat, Wenren Zheng is confident to kill Qi Ming.

But if Qi Ming focuses solely on escaping, Wenren Zheng would find it difficult to deal with him.

Only Yun Shu, who is a True Monarch with 'Analyze' Taoism and chose National Fortune as his path to realization, poses the greatest threat to Qi Ming!

In fact, had Yun Shu not been severely injured, in retreat for healing, Qi Ming wouldn't have broken through so smoothly.

Yun Shu is highly likely to become his adversary on the path of obstruction!

Therefore, this president of the New Heaven Association indeed knows how to select the timing!

The timing of the breakthrough was as such, and today's appearance is also perfect.

The establishment of the Blue Patrol Pavilion, nationwide live referendum, as long as successful, control of the central government over localities would be enhanced, both National Fortune and national power will strengthen as a result.

Choosing today to jump out as the president of New Heaven Association, publicly confronting the Da Lan Dynasty, is to strike at the empire's prestige and prevent enhancement of National Fortune.

This is the first part.

Preventing Li Fei, the empire's first prodigy, from breaking through, further preventing enhancement of National Fortune.

This is the second part.

Lastly, the most crucial part:

Qi Ming intends to use Li Fei as a 'jumping board', leveraging the connection established during his breakthrough with National Fortune to strike at Yun Shu, who is already deeply 'bound' with National Fortune!

Though it cannot be said with certainty that Yun Shu could be killed, but being severely disturbed at a critical time of healing, Yun Shu is very likely to suffer additional injuries.

Qi Ming wants to completely sever Yun Shu's hope of achieving the great path, making it impossible for him to take action for at least ten years!

Once removing this most threatening State Preceptor, the subsequent actions of Qi Ming and New Heaven Association will proceed more smoothly.

Such planning, linked intricately, truly showcases the hand of a True Monarch.

Upon realizing these, the Emperor could only immediately take action to protect Yun Shu.

He hasn't abandoned Li Fei.

Firstly, Qi Ming is targeting Li Fei's destiny path, making it difficult for others to intervene immediately.

Secondly, Li Fei is outside the Imperial City at this moment.

The Emperor's cultivation is average, only because he is the Emperor, bearing Emperor's Dragon Qi and National Fortune, can the power be attributed to himself.

But this power is strongest inside the Imperial Palace, next strongest in Imperial City.

Once outside the Imperial City, it will drop below the peak.

Thus, the Emperor can only choose to protect Yun Shu deep in the Imperial Palace, and even that is not guaranteed in time, because the opponent has already made a move and seized the initiative.

As for Li Fei, facing the full force of a True Monarch of Spell, there's no chance of survival!

With a heavy heart, the Emperor projected his power towards the place where Yun Shu is secluded.

At the same time, outside the Imperial City, on the high platform.

After Qi Ming finished speaking, Li Fei's entire body suddenly erupted with a mysterious blue light, and the surging curse power within raged!

Wenren Zheng immediately took action to protect the Crown Prince and others, preventing them from being accidentally injured.

On the other side, the many Martial Arts Masters and True Masters instantly activated their strongest defense methods and quickly distanced themselves from Li Fei, avoiding him like snakes and scorpions.

"Marquis Jing'an Li Fei, destined to fall today—"

Qi Ming's voice descended from the sky, pronouncing Li Fei's fate!

To outsiders, today's gift from the New Heaven Association is to make the Da Lan Dynasty lose a first prodigy and the youngest State Duke!

Datong Prefecture, Wu'an University.

Shi Caiming suddenly stood up, looking at the screen on television, both shocked and furious, and then violently coughed, spewing a mouthful of blood.
