Invincibility Begins with Mastery of Fist Techniques

Chapter 277 270: Reinforcement

"You're planning to fight me in this state?"

Watching Feimura Masayuki desperately spread the golden light of his benevolent aspect to protect the space around them and confront him, a playful smile appeared on Wei He's face.

"So what if I am?"

Feimura Masayuki's expression was calm, but in reality, beads of sweat were already starting to form on his forehead.

He was under immense pressure. Trapped within this magnetic field barrier, he was constantly being seared by that strange black fire. The field's intensity was so great that even the special properties of his benevolent aspect couldn't completely neutralize it. It was like iron meeting a strong acid, being corroded and ignited bit by bit.

Not to mention, he also had to do his utmost to expand his own magnetic field, prop up the barrier, and protect the civilians behind him. The pressure he was enduring was more than doubled.

"Feimura Masayuki, that's your name, isn't it? Based on the memories I've gleaned from this body's brain, the one with this name doesn't belong to this country. In fact, your country and this one share a generations-old blood feud. Why are you so foolishly protecting this nation's people?"

Wei He smiled, pointing a finger at his own head.

The black fire leaped around him, twisting into all sorts of terrifying shapes, like the demonic flames of Hell.

"Nationality, conflict… none of that matters to me. I stand here simply because I am human."

"And so, I will not stand by and watch my own kind be bullied, trampled, and slaughtered."

"Besides, hatred isn't something one is born with. If you cling stubbornly to hatred, it can never be resolved. If I can, I am willing to be the first to lay down the butcher's knife of hatred, both in my hand and in my heart."

"But this is something you Aliens could never understand."

Feimura Masayuki said slowly.

"Understand? I certainly can't understand your foolishness. Just as I couldn't understand why that fellow back then would rather be smashed to pieces than Seal me."

"You're all equally disgusting, with your Savior complexes. But what can you actually do? What can you possibly change?"

"From ancient times to the present, there has never been a shortage of people like you. But has the world changed? You may seem passionate and righteous, but in the eyes of others, you're just a buffoon. As time flows on, all greatness and kindness will be extinguished in the long river of history. Only evil, rooted in instinct, can never be quenched—because evil is human nature!"

"And you… who can you possibly save?"

Wei He said indifferently.

"You're right. I can't save the world."

"But even knowing it's an impossible task, I will still do everything in my power."

"At the very least, right now, I can save the people right beside me."

Feimura Masayuki's expression was equally calm. His benevolent aspect fully expanded the golden light magnetic field, while the Killing Blade in the hand of his malevolent aspect grew deeper and more sinister.

"No, you can't save anyone, including yourself!"

Wei He slowly extended his palm.

BZZZZ!!

Inside the barrier, the black fire blazed. Countless motes of black fire condensed into black dots on the barrier's walls.

Wei He clenched his outstretched hand into a fist.

SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH!!

Within the seventy-meter-radius barrier, innumerable, densely packed dots of black fire shot out violently.

Feimura Masayuki took a deep breath and swung his long blade, moving it at such extreme speed that he created an impenetrable defense.

But there were simply too many black dots. He could only manage to completely protect himself, leaving him unable to intercept them all.

PFFT! PFFT! PFFT!

The black dots struck the Golden Light Barrier that Feimura Masayuki was holding up. Instead of being nullified by the barrier's field-negating properties, they clung to it like a festering poison, burrowing into the golden light as if they were living things.

This was the truly terrifying aspect of Wei He's power after he had raised his magnetic field's upper limit.

The Erosion Black Fire was a magnetic field with extremely corrosive and aggressive properties. When activated to a certain level, it could devour other types of magnetic fields to strengthen itself—the polar opposite of Feimura Masayuki's ability.

In this situation, the contest came down to the fundamental strength of their respective Life Magnetic Fields.

Without a doubt, in this state, Wei He's power was superior.

Watching the black fire grow and advance like some kind of alien creature, and recalling the horrific state of the surrounding corpses, some among the dozens of survivors couldn't help but let out panicked screams.

HAAH!!

Feimura Masayuki took a deep breath and channeled most of his magnetic field to his benevolent aspect. The long sword it held grew even more brilliant.

The golden light intensified, and its field-negating property took effect. The black fire that had invaded the barrier was gradually extinguished by the light.

However.

"During a fight, try not to get distracted."

Wei He said with a smile as endless black dots shot toward Feimura Masayuki's main body. Having diverted his magnetic field to his benevolent aspect, Feimura Masayuki could no longer maintain a perfect defense.

TATATATA!!

The dots of black fire struck his body, burning his flesh, eroding his magnetic field, and punching bloody holes in him. And like living things, they burrowed into his body.

Intense pain assaulted Feimura Masayuki's nerves, but he didn't retreat a single step, nor did the look in his eyes change.

Perhaps his actions seemed foolish to others, but this was the Dao he pursued.

'When walking one's own Dao, why seek the approval or understanding of others?'

He would not fall before reinforcements arrived!

······

WHOOSH!!

In the sky, one of Donghua's most advanced fighter jets tore through the heavens, pierced the air, and broke the sound barrier, approaching Nanjiang at a terrifying speed.

At this very moment, on board the supersonic aircraft, a tall man sat in the back seat behind the pilot.

His eyes were as bright as flames, and he possessed a soul-stirring presence.

The Southern Guardian, the powerful Martial Artist known as the Southern Vermilion Bird—Liehong Mountain.

"Heavy civilian casualties! The army's defensive line is on the verge of being breached! Feimura Masayuki has appeared and is helping resist the enemy!"

"The enemy has deployed a barrier with a radius of nearly seventy meters! Feimura Masayuki is trapped inside! We have no visual on the situation within the barrier! Feimura Masayuki is protecting civilians and is in extreme danger! Requesting immediate support! Requesting immediate support!"

"······"

A stream of grim intelligence reports came through the satellite phone.

"How long until we reach the destination?"

Liehong Mountain asked, his expression calm.

"Per your orders, we're at full speed. We should reach the battlefield in about three minutes. But bailing out of a supersonic fighter jet… I'm afraid…"

The pilot replied hurriedly.

"You just need to get me to the destination. Don't worry about anything else."

Liehong Mountain said flatly.

······

······

「Galaxy Pedestrian Street blockade zone.」

Seven Desires, who had been observing the battlefield's developments from a distance, suddenly frowned.

He seemed to sense something and looked up toward the distant sky.

A fighter jet was streaking through the clouds at extreme speed, heading toward the pedestrian street.

Then, his pupils contracted sharply.

Looking into the distance, he saw a small, black, dot-like object detach from the high-speed fighter jet and plummet toward the ground.

'Is that… a person?'

'Donghua's support?!'

'They arrived this quickly?!'
