What is Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu)?
After sensing Mana, it is a technique that shapes and alters specific phenomena through gestures, talismans, and incantations, transforming them into power. That is Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu).
Therefore, when using Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu), the necessary conditions are specific gestures, specific talismans, and specific incantations.
Otherwise, it is impossible to execute Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu).
Thus, as the leader of the Water Faction Daoshi's Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu), Cecily was utterly shocked by Wu Xiaofei's actions at this moment.
Wu Xiaofei had completely abandoned gestures, talismans, and incantations, using his own attacks as the condition to activate Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu), successfully executing it.
This was simply unbelievable.
Even Fan Xinglou's eyes lit up, and she clapped in admiration.
As the progenitor of the Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu) passed down in Jie Long, Fan Xinglou saw even more secrets.
"To actually refine a weapon into a talisman, Xiaofei, oh Xiaofei, you truly surprise me."
That's right.
Wu Xiaofei essentially treated the Moonlight Dagger as a blank canvas, using his staff attacks as the trigger, as if drawing symbols on the canvas, while simultaneously infusing Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu) into the Moonlight Dagger and etching invisible seals.
Immediately after, Wu Xiaofei could release the Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu) infused into the Moonlight Dagger like using a talisman, transforming it into a devastating explosion, causing unimaginable damage to his weapon-wielding opponent.
If not for Fang Li's foresight, he might have already been injured due to carelessness.
Therefore, within less than ten meters from the explosion, Fang Li's eyes began to glitter.
"Chī————!"
At that moment, a pitch-black staff tip sliced through the air, instantly forming numerous dark staff beams, like bullets capable of disemboweling someone, directly aimed at Fang Li's entire body.
Wu Xiaofei appeared before Fang Li as if by teleportation, thrusting his staff mercilessly, causing countless staff beams to pierce through space, forming an inescapable curtain of attacks that enveloped Fang Li.
Fang Li knew that wasn't true teleportation, but rather a clever use of Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu).
Of course, it wasn't as miraculous as Fan Xinglou's Ground Shrink technique, but rather an Illusion Technique similar to the Li siblings'.
Probably, at the moment of the explosion, Wu Xiaofei concealed his aura, used the Illusion Technique to become invisible, and stealthily approached Fang Li.
Now, he simply revealed himself and launched a thunderous attack on Fang Li.
As countless staff beams closed in, Fang Li, now weaponless, swiftly drew Bo Xie's activation body from his waist.
"Ding! Ding! Ding!"
At the instant the metallic sounds rang out, sparks flew from Bo Xie's activation body, causing powerful energy to spread once more, stirring chaotic air currents.
Fang Li retreated rapidly while using Bo Xie's activation body to block the incoming staff beams, but his expression gradually grew serious.
Because Fang Li realized that not all the incoming staff beams were physical attacks.
Among them were also phantoms created by Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu).
If Fang Li tried to block these phantoms, he would absolutely block nothing, ultimately facing the real strike.
Therefore, Fang Li needed to retreat while calmly observing which of the relentless attacks were real and which were illusions; only then could he perfectly counter.
However, under such circumstances, Fang Li was also destined to neglect attention to other areas.
"Pā————!"
At one point, Fang Li heard a loud bang.
It was the sound of Fang Li stepping on a certain spot.
There, a talisman had been affixed at some unknown time.
As Fang Li stepped on it, the talisman immediately exploded, turning into vines that wrapped around Fang Li's foot.
Fang Li's retreating figure abruptly halted.
"Bang————!"
Suddenly, Mana surged rapidly and Fang Li's complexion froze, and he sharply raised his head, looking forward.
There, Wu Xiaofei held his staff with one hand, while the other hand formed one Magic Seal after another at an astonishing speed, causing Mana to gather around his body like a whirlwind.
"Kyuukyuunyoritsuryou! Choku!!"
With Wu Xiaofei's incantation, the whirlwind-like Mana violently surged out, transforming into eight gigantic wind blades, like large steel blades, splitting the air, stirring turbulence, and trembling the atmosphere. They first diverged in eight directions from Wu Xiaofei, and then each traced perfect trajectories, forming an encirclement, sweeping in from all sides.
The center of the encirclement was precisely Fang Li.
The eight wind blades carried an ear-piercing shriek, like steel blades slicing through the arena, cutting through the hard floor as if it were paper, leaving behind shocking knife marks, causing debris to fly, and dust to swirl, slicing the entire arena into eight pieces like a cake.
Then, they simultaneously rushed to Fang Li's front, carrying a skin-piercing chill, engulfing him.
"Pū Chī————!"
The sound of cutting rang out sharply as the eight gigantic wind blades violently dismembered Fang Li, tearing him apart.
Fang Li's physical body flew into the sky like refuse.
"Ah…"
Gasps and screams immediately erupted from the audience.
Even Cecily, Zhao Hufeng, Li Shenyun, and Li Shenhua were greatly shocked.
Only two people remained unfazed by the scene.
One was Fan Xinglou, who always wore a smile. The other was Wu Xiaofei, who stared intently at the scene.
Shortly afterward, Wu Xiaofei suddenly turned around without any warning, his staff transforming into a heavy windmill, swinging toward his back.
"Clang————!"
In the loud collision sound, a sharp dagger's slash was blocked by the swinging staff, igniting fierce sparks.
Only then did everyone realize.
Fang Li had somehow appeared behind Wu Xiaofei, even holding the Moonlight Dagger that had been refined into a talisman and exploded due to Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu)'s release, striking at Wu Xiaofei, colliding with the swinging staff, creating sparks.
It seemed the earlier explosion wasn't enough to destroy the Moonlight Dagger.
And the remnants that flew into the sky were merely afterimages left by Fang Li.
"A scholar who has been away for three days, I see you in a new light, First Senior Brother. You have truly transformed, completely different from before."
Fang Li continuously exerted force, causing the Moonlight Dagger and the staff to clash violently, while sincerely praising.
"Now you are truly worthy of being Master's number one disciple, with Taijutsu surpassing Senior Brother Zhao and Seisenjutsu (Star Senjutsu) surpassing Senior Sister Wong."
"Perhaps, in this city, aside from 'Banyuu Tenra' and 'Ereshkigal' of that Rank, you are the strongest."
Fang Li had previously thought Wu Xiaofei was just a step away from the Fourth Rank's limit.
In reality, Wu Xiaofei had already reached the Fourth Rank's limit.
In terms of Rank, he was even above Fang Li.
"But…"
An astonishing murderous aura surged within Fang Li's body.
"Unfortunately, now I am stronger…"
