This Martial Saint's Health Bar is Too Thick!-Chapter 246 - 25 Breaking the Path, Conquering the Heart Barrier_3

Chapter 246: Chapter 25 Breaking the Path, Conquering the Heart Barrier_3

Do those from the past and these disciples of the Iron Blade Sect who died by my sword have any difference?

Of course, there is a difference.

Those from the past were deemed by Li Fei as people who deserved to die; even if they were to come back to life a hundred times, Li Fei could still kill them a hundred times over without a ripple in his heart!

He felt no guilt.

But these people of the Iron Blade Sect bore no grudge with Li Fei, and he did not wish to kill anyone subjectively.

To talk of innocence, these disciples of the Iron Blade Sect were not exactly innocent. Since they chose the Way, Li Fei followed the rules of the World to challenge their sect, and the Iron Blade Sect had agreed to this duel. So their death by his sword was not about being innocent or not; it was their own choice.

What truly made Li Fei uncomfortable was his powerlessness to resist.

Facing a Martial Arts Master who could unpredictably take his life, he simply had no room to choose.

Without the ability to use the Blood Soul Skill, he had no room to hold back either.

And these disciples of the Iron Blade Sect who came down the mountain to block him also had no room to choose.

If Li Fei did not kill them, they would kill Li Fei!

Both sides were like pawns that had crossed the river, only able to advance, unable to retreat.

In Xing City, Li Fei could directly smash the chessboard and make those who manipulated the pieces pay the price.

But in Datong Prefecture, at least for now, he lacked the strength to smash someone else’s chessboard.

“Without sufficient power, one cannot live according to one’s wishes. Before becoming invincible under heaven, if I encounter similar situations in the future, how should I cope?”

Li Fei began to ponder over this issue.

This was the first time he viewed his inner self from a perspective of a bystander.

At this moment, that disciple named Chi Dou had already descended the mountain to attack, drawing his sword and charging at Li Fei.

Li Fei swung his sword to meet him.

“Before, killing corrupt officials was for the righteousness in my heart, to let the common people live better lives, but actually, it was more about living more freely myself…”

Clang—

Li Fei and Chi Dou clashed swords, the extremely sharp blade forcing the opponent to retreat.

“Now, killing these disciples of the Iron Blade Sect is to allow myself to survive…”

Hmph!

Li Fei received Chi Dou’s sword with his ‘Overlord Body’, seizing the opportunity to also strike the opponent with his sword.

“After all, it’s all for myself, I’ve never been a saint…”

The wounded Chi Dou attempted a desperate attack, swinging his sword heedlessly towards Li Fei’s neck, but Li Fei anticipated it in advance. He actively used his left shoulder to block, then employed the Overlord Body, using a technique that combined hardness with softness, to trap the opponent’s sword with his muscles.

“I am just a person… trying to take control of my own fate in this chaotic world!”

Li Fei took the opportunity to slice at Chi Dou’s neck, severing the opponent’s head.

Blood sprayed out once again, staining the world before Li Fei a bloody red.

He calmly watched as the headless body slowly fell before him, the previously soul-draining sensation suddenly vanished.

It was as if his ‘soul had returned to its rightful place’.

His mind shook, and the words Wen Ke had said in the classroom surfaced in his thoughts:

“The key to the Slaughter Heart is to stick to one’s true self, to always know clearly why one kills.”

A smile emerged on Li Fei’s face, his gaze shifting from an undisturbed still pond to one of true tranquility.

He now had an answer to the question Wen Ke had posed:

A General on the battlefield kills for his country.

A hero who feels the sorrow of the world kills for the people.

Li Fei kills—only for himself.

At this moment, the Geng Metal True Qi within his body underwent a mysterious change. The True Qi, already pure and devoid of any impurities, seemed to shed all traces of blemish, becoming even purer and more refined.

At this moment, Li Fei broke through his mental barrier, comprehending the Slaughter Heart that belonged truly to himself.
