Chapter 288 - 275 Speechless I (I didn’t expect everyone to be so supportive, thank you again, hehe)
"*sigh*..." Lin Fei took deep breaths, his forehead covered with dense beads of sweat.
He had not expected such great spiritual damage to himself; no wonder the Sword Canon had given warnings before the battle. Now, it seemed, the severity was indeed serious, far beyond any of the previous trial battles.
The impact and shockwave of the suicide explosion by the woman in the black dress, filled with an intent of despair, were something Lin Fei had never seen before and had no idea how to defend against; he could only passively endure it. In terms of horror, it was far worse than his encounter with Sula Bei’er. Especially the last self-destructive move, which was too sudden. That kind of power almost instantly covered the entire Sword Canon Space with the explosion of flesh and blood, utterly indefensible.
Caught off guard, Lin Fei was instantly killed, and the last thing he saw was half of the black-dressed woman’s face, with remnants of serene release, flying towards him. That deep sense of despair lingered even now, affecting his spirit still.
"It seems I need to rest for a while," Lin Fei said as he walked to the washbasin. In the mirror, his face was as pale as if he had been seriously ill. He knew this was the influence of a spiritual level. His time spent on the cultivation of Sword Dao was too short and his willpower was far from strong, which was why this had happened.
"Logically, I’ve killed no small number of people, so why did that last strike cause such a huge impact on me?" Lin Fei wondered, slightly puzzled. "It was just a suicide attack. Or is it that without absolute determination, one could waver with just a little distraction?"
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Fei turned on the faucet, scooped up water, and washed his face. The cold sensation made his mind slightly clearer.
The battle today might have lasted only a short fifteen minutes, but the consumption of Heart Force went far beyond that.
Setting up a Divine Artifact clone on a whim, Lin Fei directly returned to the Sword Canon Space to rest, and it had been quite some time since he had been sleeping and resting in this way. Leaving the Divine Artifact clone outside meant no loss even if he was suddenly attacked.
Ever since he stepped into the conflicts of the Inner World, he had been severely lacking a sense of security.
When he woke up again and left the Sword Canon Space, it was already midnight.
