Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

Chapter 1770 - 1771: Dawen Master

Ling Zhenfei felt a bit surprised. It seemed that breaking through in a place with weaker power was impossible. If it wouldn't work, he would have to break through here.

This expert in the Dawen Realm was currently using his Divine Sense to search for Ling Zhenfei's figure, but his ordinary Northern Spiritual Energy could not possibly find Ling Zhenfei.

As long as he couldn't see Ling Zhenfei, he couldn't detect his presence.

Ling Zhenfei was already prepared and planned to leave from here, although he didn't know where he would end up after rushing out.

Several people in the Zhiyi Boundary were also searching with this Dawen Realm expert, all following his command.

This Dawen expert, although aged fifty or sixty, still had very good spirits, with age leaving little mark on his face.

He had a long katana at his waist, and though he was searching, his hand remained on the katana's hilt, a habit formed over many years, ready to draw at any sign of danger.

The famous Iga-ryu Iaido is about drawing and striking unexpectedly, enhancing the element of surprise.

There is even a dedicated technique called Iaido, where the blade remains in the sheath before each attack, ensuring a formidable strike the moment it's drawn.

Ling Zhenfei understood this, but he was hidden nearby, hoping to deliver a deathblow unexpectedly to this Dawen Realm master.

Because he had stayed in the Watanabe Manor for a long time, he was familiar with the cultivation methods within it.

Watanabe Manor is a branch of the Iga-ryu, cultivating spiritual energy, mainly to make their sword strokes quicker and more incisive, aiming for a state where the head falls as soon as the sword is drawn.

The Dawen Realm master kept his hand on his sheath, clearly sensing the danger, and was ready to strike at any moment.

In the Dawen Realm, attacks are incredibly fast, with lightning speed. Ling Zhenfei had not witnessed this speed before.

He had once fought Watanabe Kazushi, but Watanabe did not use a katana and was not a Samurai in the traditional sense of the Iga-ryu.

So, this was Ling Zhenfei's first encounter with a Dawen Realm Samurai.

Ninja Swords have many unique features, the most notable being their rigidity. With years of nourishment from spiritual energy, they seem almost attuned to the ninja's intent.

When drawn, it feels like communicating with an old friend, resulting in great effect with less effort, as Watanabe Nagayumi once said.

However, despite the praises sung for the ninja's sword, Ling Zhenfei was ready to act.

Seeing the opportunity, Ling Zhenfei suddenly released spirit energy from his hand, with the Sky Piercing Finger targeting the ninja, following up quickly with the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists.

The Sky Piercing Finger had tremendous power; if it hit someone, they would surely perish. But as a cultivator in the Dawen Realm, Ling Zhenfei didn't think this finger could truly threaten him.

Yet Ling Zhenfei had already prepared his follow-up with the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, this being his greatest attack move.

As Ling Zhenfei struck, the movement of spiritual energy alerted the Dawen Realm cultivator, who, seeing the energy rushing towards him, instinctively dodged.

But just as he dodged, Ling Zhenfei charged towards him with a punch.

Ling Zhenfei often sparred with others and had become quite accomplished, looking for precisely this kind of opportunity to unleash a powerful strike.

As the ninja pivoted to dodge, Ling Zhenfei took advantage to attack, timing it perfectly.

The Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists hit from both sides simultaneously.

Originally confident in his punch, Ling Zhenfei suddenly saw the man draw his sword.

With a sudden move of his right hand, the katana emerged from the sheath, accompanied by a flash of white light; only the light could be seen, given the katana's speed.

Ling Zhenfei had severely underestimated his opponent's strength and drawing speed—such speed surpassed anything cultivators in the Zhiyi state could compare to.

The speed was astonishing, directly targeting Ling Zhenfei's hands.

If Ling Zhenfei followed through with his punch, he could hit the man, but his hands would be at risk.

A beam of light came towards his hands, and all Ling Zhenfei saw was the beam and the cold spiritual energy on it, explaining the man's composure, knowing his capability.

Ling Zhenfei hurriedly withdrew his fists, forcibly retracting the two punches.

As Ling Zhenfei pulled back, the beam of light sliced through the air where his hands had been, and the man immediately struck again at Ling Zhenfei.

With the speed now slowed down, Ling Zhenfei could finally see the blade clearly.

But Ling Zhenfei didn't want to give this man too many chances. Once he was engaged, the surrounding cultivators would know of his presence and quickly converge on him.

So, without holding back, Ling Zhenfei launched a soul attack on the man.

Against a higher-level cultivator, their body was shielded by spiritual energy, making them resistant to soul attacks, with minor effects only possible.

But the attack caused a slight pause in the man's actions, which was enough for Ling Zhenfei.

Ling Zhenfei suddenly fired off a spiritual energy attack, directly striking the man.

Although the man's body was protected, the spiritual energy only mitigated some impact, and he was still thrown to the ground.

Though uninjured, the opponent being knocked down allowed Ling Zhenfei time to escape.

As Ling Zhenfei made a move to flee, several Zhiyi Boundary evil-doers attempted to block him. Ling Zhenfei refused to waste time on them and launched another soul attack.

With their souls hit, it felt as if struck on the head. Not fainting was considered lucky.

Taking advantage of the moment, Ling Zhenfei took off running.

By then, the Dawen Realm samurai had gotten up and pursued Ling Zhenfei from behind.

Ling Zhenfei felt shocked by the chase, realizing he couldn't afford to be followed.

He casually shot two Silver Needles behind him, which weren't thrown as concealed weapons but rather through the Plucking Leaves and Flying Flowers technique.

The samurai used his sword to deflect the Silver Needles, unaware they'd return towards him.

It was a small trick, but Ling Zhenfei hoped it would delay the samurai's actions momentarily.

Perhaps only a few seconds, but enough time just the same.

Ling Zhenfei leaped into the trees; finding him again would not be easy.
