This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!

Ming Province, Jinshan Prefecture.

Ming Family Town was located to the northwest of Jinshan Prefecture, and further north would enter the territory of Xiu Province.

Li Fei, accompanied by Lv Wenxing and five other people at the Tao Foundation Stage, along with twenty-four official martial masters, arrived in Ming Family Town at 6:37 p.m. without any issues.

They had driven there, commandeering ten sedans temporarily from Chong City.

Ming Family Town had received notice in advance, and the Town Mayor, along with a group of officials, had been waiting by the roadside early on.

"Respectful greetings to all the esteemed guests."

The Town Mayor of Ming Family Town was a man in his fifties who, after Li Fei and the others' cars had come to a stop, greeted them with a full-faced smile and a bow.

The Town Mayor was also an Imperial Official, but only at the 10th rank.

Whereas among Li Fei's group, apart from Li Fei himself, even those with the lowest rank were at the 10th level, and the highest was a 14th-level Sitting Official!

Therefore, all the officials of Ming Family Town were behaving with utmost humility.

Li Fei and others entered the town under their reception and were directly arranged to stay at the Town Mayor's estate.

This was also the most upscale place in the entire Ming Family Town.

"My lord, Mayor Zhang said they have arranged a banquet for us."

Lv Wenxing walked into the room, speaking to Li Fei.

He had now automatically taken on the role of Li Fei's 'secretary,' communicating a lot of matters with Li Fei and conveying orders on his behalf.

"There's no need, we might have a mission tonight."

Li Fei shook his head in refusal.

The National Master Faction had arranged for them to come to Ming Family Town to intercept and kill people from the Daluo Sect, which could mean a battle might break out tonight!

"Have you made contact with the people from the Daluo Sect?"

Li Fei asked.

Following the downfall of Qingxu True Monarch, a number of his Daluo Sect supporters chose to flee.

After Yun Shu arrived at Daluo Sect, Tai Yu immediately ordered people to hunt down these fugitives, without leaving a single one behind!

This was a statement of intent; Tai Yu could not refuse.

Thus, the current situation was that a group from Daluo Sect was on the run, with another group chasing after them.

The pursuers were equipped with Daluo Sect's tracking Magic Artifacts, so they could be located at any time.

Based on this, Yun Shu was able to order the court's forces to lie in wait in front to ambush them.

Aside from Li Fei and his group, other towns had already received orders to set up checkpoints on all major transportation routes.

Even if these checkpoints couldn't stop the rebels from Daluo Sect, at the very least, they could be used to confirm the rebels' locations.

"We've made contact, our target is a True Master from the Daluo Sect!"

Lv Wenxing's expression was somewhat uneasy.

The mission assigned to them by Pan Tianhao was indeed the most dangerous.

Li Fei was very calm upon hearing the news:

"Who is responsible for the pursuit from the Daluo Sect?"

"A Martial Arts Master."

"So, our task is to intercept this True Master and buy time for the Martial Arts Master behind us?"

"That's correct."

Lv Wenxing nodded, "The intelligence reports that the True Master has been seriously injured."

Although there seemed to be countless possible escape routes for a single person, in reality, there were many mountains and rivers, leaving not so many accessible paths.

Although a True Master could use Magic to fly with the wind, continuing to cross mountains and rivers without completely shaking off the pursuers not only expended their own True Power but also delayed time.

Therefore, the probability of intercepting them on the various transportation routes was still quite high.

Li Fei and his group had been ordered to Ming Family Town because this road where the town was located is the most likely path the True Master would take next.

In other words, there was a significant chance they would encounter the True Master.

"My lord."

Lv Wenxing hesitated for a moment before speaking:

"In truth, even if we fail to stop the escaping True Master, it won't matter; considering the merits you have previously achieved, you will surely be handsomely rewarded upon return! Even if you request a retrial of your previous case, Your Majesty will approve."

He almost directly said, let's just let it happen.

Li Fei understood what he meant and nodded:

"Don't worry, I won't force the issue."

Hearing this, Lv Wenxing said no more and left the room.

Li Fei took the opportunity to cultivate.

He had now activated the Core Level Extraordinary Ability of the [Flame Core], ready to incorporate the fourth type of Implant.

And so, he began the 'Unification' process with the [Flame Core].

Without much time for seclusion, Li Fei still chose 'Local Unification,' slowly accumulating progress.

...

While Li Fei was cultivating, a group of strangers arrived at a village that was about a dozen miles away from Ming Family Town.

These people were all shrouded in black robes, with their appearances concealed, exuding an air of mystery.

Under the cover of night, lights shone from every household in the village.

The group stood on a hillside, overlooking the village below.

"Boss, the target has arrived at Ming Family Town."

One of the robed figures spoke in a deep voice,

"The information from the employer suggests that the True Master from the Daluo Sect is very likely to pass through Ming Family Town tomorrow morning."

"Hmm."

The leader, with a lifeless gaze, looked at the lights below:

"The target's information differs from what we had initially received, what does the employer say?"

They were the mercenaries hired by the Lu Family to assassinate Li Fei!

According to the intelligence they had gathered, Li Fei was at most equivalent to a Fifth Tier practitioner at the Tao Foundation Stage, but in the battle outside Chong City, Li Fei annihilated over fifty riders of the Imperial Camp Cavalry single-handedly.

This was the combat power of someone at the Peak of the Tao Foundation Stage!

Assassinating a Fifth Tier Tao Foundation practitioner and assassinating someone at the Peak of the Tao Foundation Stage were entirely different challenges.

Moreover, the target was accompanied by five other Tao Foundation Stage practitioners and over twenty Refining Strength Martial Masters.

"The employer said, more money."

"How much?"

"Double the original amount."
