Killing intent

  In Du Fei's line of sight, a man in black suddenly appeared. However, after a slight shock in his heart, he calmed down.

  This person is also somewhat mysterious, but he is absolutely not the black-clad man who appeared at the top of Xuan You Peak.

  The corners of his mouth twitched slightly for a moment, but Du Fei had already understood that this person was indeed the third person he had sensed earlier.

  He hid until now and appeared, must be to take his own life!

  But judging from my current injuries, I'm afraid... the chances of survival are slim!

  At this thought, Du Fei didn't waste any words, his toes fiercely tapped the ground, and his body was like a ghostly shadow, quickly retreating backwards.

  That man in black seemed to have expected Du Fei's actions, and with a slight flick of his sleeve, several short swords wrapped in true energy shot towards Du Fei.

  Du Fei slightly narrowed his eyes and dodged to both sides a few times, barely avoiding the short sword. His body continued moving backward without stopping.

  The man in black saw this scene, his toes also lightly touched the ground, and he instantly caught up. At the same time, a gloomy laughter had already spread out: "Du Fei, why bother? Escaping is useless. With your current injuries, how much longer can the true energy in your body last? You might as well die obediently at my hands, I'll leave you with an intact corpse!"

  Du Fei's face twitched slightly, his right hand swiftly brushed over the ring on his left hand, but a moment later he furrowed his brow and accelerated his pace.

  That man in black seemed to be very clear about Du Fei's behavior, and seeing this, he gave a cold laugh: "Du Fei, you don't think that Dan's technique can still save you, do you? Although the environment in the Xuan You secret realm has changed over the past few days, it seems that it still hasn't reached the conditions you need. So, you should just go ahead and rest assured! As for your beautiful maid servant, I will definitely take good care of her for you!"

  "Hmph—"

  The man in black had barely finished speaking when a dark shadow darted towards him from the front. He furrowed his brow, and with a light flick of his right hand, the whip hidden in his sleeve shot out like a venomous snake, instantly dispersing the shadow.

  "Not bad." The black-clad man's gaze circled around the short sword on the ground before he spoke up faintly.

  But ahead, Du Fei's figure also stopped abruptly, his face as gloomy as water, only faintly opening his mouth: "Which one of the Du family are you?"

  The man in black paused for a moment, his gaze lingering on Du Fei with a hint of curiosity: "Why did you guess I was from the Du family?"

  Du Fei let out a cold snort and said in a deep voice, "The three dogs of the Lian family have already died. I'm afraid there aren't many people who dare to make a move against me within the city walls?"

  "Hahaha——" The man in black threw his head back and laughed wildly, "Du Fei's younger brother is indeed a clever person, but what about me! This life, the most annoying thing is that someone is even smarter than me!"

  Du Fei's mouth twitched slightly at the corner, and after a moment, he seemed to sigh softly, saying in a low voice: "Du Han!"

  Seeing his own identity falling, Du Han no longer concealed himself, but instead suddenly raised his hand and tore off the black robe that wrapped around his entire body, revealing a rather handsome face underneath.

  "It's really you!" Du Fei's face remained still, "Since big brother has revealed his identity, this means that he doesn't plan on letting me leave the Mystic Void alive?"

  Du Han lightly clapped his hands, with a calm and composed expression, slowly saying: "Not bad, Du Fei, you're indeed a sensible person. If the master of the house were to find out about my actions towards you, I reckon I'd be done for too. So today, no matter what, you must die!"

  "Is that so?" Du Fei slowly let out a breath, taking the opportunity to quickly mobilize his internal energy, but his face didn't change in the slightest. He said calmly, "I've always admired Brother Du Han's abilities, but there's one thing I don't understand - why did Brother Du Han make a move against me? As for myself, I don't think I've ever harmed your interests in the Du family, have I?"

  "Who knows?" Du Han smiled faintly and clapped his hands lightly, "I'll give you a chance... Hand over the Ice Heart Determination Method now, and I'll spare your life. Otherwise, if you fall into my hands, I'm afraid you'll be worse off than dead!"

  "Really?!" Du Fei's face was strange, and he seemed to hesitate for a moment before saying lightly: "If I reveal the Ice Heart Determination Method, would Big Brother spare my life? From now on, I, Du Fei, will leave far away and never set foot in the Great An Kingdom again!"

  "Alright!" Du Han's expression didn't change as he replied calmly.

  "Thanks a lot, Big Brother! The Ice Heart Decision's method is: the heart is as clear as ice, and it won't be shaken even if the sky falls..."

  Before his words had fallen, Du Fei's figure flashed backward in a fierce movement!

  But Du Han seemed to have anticipated Du Fei's actions as well, and his figure almost instantly caught up.

  "Du Han, big brother, why are you using the Ice Heart Determination Method and then coming after me?" Du Fei's face was a mixture of smile and not-smile as he retreated to the side.

  "Don't dig out your heart and liver, take out the things inside and compare them, how can I have the mood to participate!" Du Han said lightly, with a smile on his face.

  If it weren't for the current situation, who would have thought that these two cousins were in a life-and-death struggle at this moment?

  In the midst of his retreat, Du Fei suddenly let out a sigh and said: "Even if I really hand over Bing Xin's decree, I'm afraid I'll still die a miserable death!"

  "We're all smart people! Why bother with nonsense?" Du Han smiled faintly again.

  "But if I were to die, Du Han, you probably wouldn't have a chance to get close to Bing Xin either?"

  "It doesn't matter, as long as you're dead, the position of the head of the household will definitely go to me, and then I'll have a hundred ways to get the Ice Heart Decisive Method from our family!"

  "It seems this is the real reason I'm going to die!"

  "So you died without regret!"

  The last sentence fell, Du Han suddenly let out a cold laugh, his figure suddenly accelerated by three points compared to before, rapidly approaching Du Fei!

  With this move, Du Han's previously hidden strength was revealed. In almost an instant, his figure had arrived in front of Du Fei. With a surge of true energy, he slapped a palm towards Du Fei's chest!

  Sigh——

  The palm brought up a gust of wind, blowing the fallen leaves around flying, Du Fei only felt that the air in front of him was stagnant, and the feeling of suffocation came suddenly.

  This palm, although no martial arts were used, the power contained within made Du Fei dare not breathe a word!

  It can be seen from this move that Du Han has already had the strength of a 9th-grade peak martial artist! Even if he is an 8th-grade martial artist, it is only one step away from him!

  In a split second, Du Fei's right hand clenched into a fist and punched out, slapping down towards the center of Du Han's palm!

  "Boom——"

  In an instant, two powerful auras collided, sending shockwaves in all directions, sharp as the biting wind!

  Du Fei let out a muffled hum, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. His body also involuntarily retreated dozens of meters! As soon as his toes touched the ground, his body trembled, and he instantly slipped out.

  If he were in his prime, Du Fei would have had the confidence to take on Du Han, but at this moment, with Du Fei's current state, he would certainly not be a match for Du Han. If he didn't leave, wouldn't that be seeking death?

  Looking at Du Fei who was defeated with one blow and fled thousands of miles away, Du Han's face also changed slightly, looking a bit ugly.

  He had originally thought that Du Fei at most had the strength of a 9th rank low-grade martial artist! He could have struck him down with one palm, but unexpectedly Du Fei actually had such means, not only had his strength reached mid-9th rank, but also in the midst of exchanging blows with himself, he was able to borrow force to counterattack and quickly retreat.

  "If he is allowed to stay, it will surely be a future trouble without end!"

  "This kid has only been practicing martial arts for a year and has already reached this level. If he escapes this time, even if he doesn't return to his family, I'm not sure I can be his match in another year! So no matter what, we must capture him today!"

  This thought flashed through Du Han's mind, and his killing intent surged up even more. At this moment, he no longer concealed his figure, and his body shot forward like a meteor.

  "This Du Han is incredibly strong, no wonder he's the top of our younger generation in the Du family! Even at my peak, I'm not sure if I could be his match!"

  In the blink of an eye, Du Fei's eyes flickered and his face turned ugly.

  That last blow, although he managed to dodge in time, but at this moment the injury inside his body was even more severe. If it wasn't for his good foundation, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on now!

  Although he was confident of winning against Lian Huan, Lian Hao and Lian Xing, and even had the strength to fight hard against Yu Le, Ba Han and Bai Yi, but in front of Du Han, he felt powerless for the first time.

  It's not because Du Han is strong to a certain extent, but rather his decisive and ruthless personality that makes him the strongest.

  In this regard, Du Fei and Du Han are almost identical!

  Quickly circulating the true energy in his body, Du Fei was somewhat depressed to find that although the true energy that had broken into his body had dissipated, his meridians had already been shaken and might not be able to withstand any major impact. Moreover, the true energy in his body was almost depleted, and even if he tried to escape, he didn't know how long he could last!

  But Du Han would never let himself off!

  At this thought, Du Fei did not hesitate again, but quickly took out a Concentrated Spirit Pill and held it in his mouth.

  The elixir entered, Du Fei's spirit trembled slightly, although due to the Xuan You Secret Realm, all elixirs would lose their effect. However, at this moment, the change in the environment of the Xuan You Secret Realm triggered some changes in the situation.

  For example, this elixir, although Du Fei can't trigger its internal energy to use the elixir's technique, but relying on the medicinal power it emits to recover a bit of true qi is still possible.

  Taking slow deep breaths several times, he felt the true energy inside his body rapidly filling up. Du Fei finally felt a bit more at ease. As long as he could hold on, he would definitely be able to escape this calamity. If he could just get through this calamity, then even Du Han wouldn't be his match!

  But escaping Du Han's pursuit would be no easy feat!

  "Hmph—"

  A sudden sound of breaking air came from behind, this time, Du Han coldly laughed and clapped his palms together, instantly stirring up his true energy, which enveloped Du Fei.
