Startled retreat

  "Boom——"

  Lei Guang and Bing Reng almost simultaneously burst open, causing the thick true energy ripples to instantly surge in all directions.

  The two figures clashed and then quickly retreated after a brief moment of suspension in mid-air.

  "Dou Fei, you're indeed very interesting! It's been a long time since I've met someone who can fight with me to this extent! You're not bad at all!" The attack was blocked again, and Gu Yun couldn't help but lick her lips, saying in a slightly eerie tone, "But, I, Gu Yun, am not that easy to deal with either... Dou Fei, don't die on me!"

  "Seventh Rank Martial Technique! Purple Lightning Seal!"

  With a loud shout, dark clouds suddenly gathered around Gu Yun's body, and with the change in his hand seal, several strange lightning bolts instantly converged together, forming a purple electric handprint in front of him. Immediately following, with a slap of Gu Yun's palm, a purple electric handprint fiercely shot down towards Du Fei.

  Feeling this powerful aura to the extreme, Du Fei's eyebrows changed again! Indeed, compared to when he was pretending before, Gu Yun had become much stronger!

  But if you think you can win just because of this, it's probably not that easy.

  In the instant that his mind changed, Du Fei's palm also changed rapidly, leaving behind three residual shadows that shot out in three different directions. His body then paused for a moment before fiercely charging forward.

  Three figures split into three directions and collided heavily with Gu Yun's handprint.

  "Hmm——"

  A dull, muffled sound suddenly burst open, and the true energy ripples on the stage continued to surge. Gu Yun also felt his body slightly tilted, but in an instant, a look of shock flashed across his eyes.

  He originally thought that if he used his true skills, Du Fei would not be his opponent, but unexpectedly, he had already gone all out at this moment and still couldn't do anything about him!

  At the thought of this, a fierce aura flashed through his eyes in an instant, and his body shape also accelerated by several points in an instant. The purple lightning continued to flash out, forming huge imprints that fiercely slapped towards Du Fei.

  In an instant, lightning flashed on the stage, as if the Thunder God had descended.

  Faced with Gu Yun's crazy attack, Du Fei's face didn't change at all! The punch was too strong, so the movement must be slower! His right hand struck his brow again, relying on the spiritual power's sense, Du Fei's flash seemed to have accelerated a few more times, almost continuously avoiding Gu Yun's attacks in an impossible way, and often striking back with a fist at the moment he withdrew his hand!

  Both sides went back and forth, until the end it almost became a fierce battle, also making the onlookers one by one dazed and bewildered! Who would have thought that this duel would be so intense?!

  "Little Ai, which one do you think will win between Du Fei and Gu Yun?" The guest on the right side suddenly stood up slowly and walked to Little Ai's side, sat down, and opened her mouth lightly.

  "Ah?" Little Ai was startled and stood up, saying in a low voice, "Miss..."

  "Sit down, I didn't come here to put on a show. I just want to ask you, who do you think will win?" Du Qian glanced at Xiao Ai and said calmly.

  "This... I don't know either... But it should be Young Master who wins, I have faith in Young Master!" Little Ai hesitated for a moment before saying softly.

  "Is that so? But I think you're worried for nothing..." Du Qian chuckled and her gaze fell back onto the arena, "However, I'm different from you. I think Du Fei's chances of winning aren't great... This Gu Yun is not someone who can be compared to a waste like Lian Chen. If Du Fei had trained for three more years, Gu Yun wouldn't be his match, but now... the outcome is extremely uncertain... And if Du Fei loses, your outcome will likely be... unbearable... I'm asking you... are you afraid?"

  Upon hearing this, Xiao Ai slightly shook her head and after a moment, said in a low voice: "Young Master will not lose! Because he is my Young Master! So I deeply believe in this!"

  Under the stage, on a temporarily placed chair, the water demon narrowed his eyes and watched the fierce battle on the stage. After a moment, he suddenly opened his mouth and said faintly: "This kid is very strong, Du Xuan, with such talent, you didn't take him in as one of your own, what a loss for the Du family!"

  "I don't know if he's talented or not, but I only know that with his natural ability, today's matter can only be resolved by himself. If he can't get through this, then there's no point in saying anything..." Du Xuan said calmly, her expression unchanged.

  "However, being able to fight with Gu Yun to this extent is rare for someone of the younger generation! Moreover, he looks like he's only fifteen or sixteen years old...... Having such strength at this age, his talent is indeed extraordinary." On the other side, Yun Qing also spoke up lightly, and immediately a hint of oddness flashed in her eyes.

  This Du Fei, why does he look a bit familiar? However, just a moment later, he shook his head and dismissed the thought. After all, someone like Du Fei wasn't worthy of entering her line of sight.

  "You've all been praising him so highly, but I wonder if he can actually surpass Gu Yun?" One side's Liu Ba sneered and said with a sly smile.

  "Gu Yun, although an outer disciple of the Junwu Sect, has a special status within the sect. As such, apart from inheriting the sect's martial techniques and skills, he is also familiar with other martial arts. In terms of actual strength, let alone those at the same level, even we few who have encountered him would find it a headache... Among the eighth-grade warriors, there may be someone who can defeat him, but it will definitely not be this kid. Just because this kid was still useless and didn't know anything just a year ago!" Dragon Ao Tian's expression remained calm as he suddenly smiled faintly and spoke slowly.

  When Long Aotian spoke, the remaining few people exchanged a glance, and there was a strange color flashing in their eyes. This Long Aotian seemed to know a lot about Du Fei's affairs!

  "Flash of lightning!"

  After a brief and intense fight, Gu Yun seemed to have lost interest in this kind of confrontation. The small spark in his heart was completely extinguished. Suddenly, he let out a low growl, and his body swiftly slid backwards. A faint rumble of thunder spread across the arena.

  At the moment when his body retreated, the lightning in mid-air seemed to condense into a mysterious formation, and with his movement, it fiercely chopped towards Du Fei.

  At this moment, the chaotic lightning was already unavoidable! If one were to be hit by it head-on, even if they had extremely high strength, they would likely be instantly turned into charcoal!

  At this scene, Du Fei also took a deep breath, and a purple light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He then violently sucked in a mouthful of air, and the medicinal power of the Cong Shen Dan was continuously absorbed into the vortex of true energy. At the same time, the aura around his body instantly spread out!

  Feeling Du Fei's sudden surge of momentum, the crowd around the arena also surged up in a frenzy!

  "Eight-Product Peak Martial Artist!?"

  "How did Du Fei become so powerful all of a sudden!? He's only fifteen years old!"

  "No wonder he's not even afraid of Jun Wuji, with his innate talent..."

  No time to care about the outside, just at the moment when the momentum reached its peak, Du Fei's body suddenly jumped up and was already in mid-air, and his body also spun violently.

  At the moment of spinning flight, his right hand's index and middle fingers clenched together, instantly filling the air with a chill. In an instant, one finger pointed forward, suddenly shooting out!

  "Mysterious Yin Finger!"

  The cold has arrived! In the blink of an eye, everything in mid-air, including the energy of heaven and earth, water vapor, and air, instantly froze, forming a massive ice wall that collided heavily with the lightning wall in front!

  "Boom——"

  A low, rumbling sound suddenly erupted, with an extremely powerful and intense energy bursting forth from the point of contact between the two. The rigid stone stage was instantly covered in a web-like pattern of cracks that resembled spider silk! Many people hastily mobilized their true energy to counteract this wild gust of wind; otherwise, they would be swept away, and it would be impossible to escape unscathed!

  In the instant when the crack spread, a figure also suddenly shot out, his foot rubbing against the stage for a moment before stopping abruptly, and then opening his mouth, a bloody dance spurted out.

  Everyone's gaze swept past quickly, and immediately every eye was shocked to the extreme!

  Suddenly retreating with a mouthful of blood was unexpectedly Gu Yun!

  "Hmph!"

  Another figure also shot out from the middle in an instant, but unlike Gu Yun, his body drew several strange arcs in mid-air before falling heavily to the edge of the arena.

  Du Fei's cold gaze converged in front of him, and after a moment, he lightly flicked his hand, his gaze falling on Gu Yun not far away. He opened his mouth faintly: "Is this all you're capable of? You said it was as if you had shown mercy back then, but now it seems that's all there is to it!"

  In Du Fei's seemingly smiling yet not quite smiling words, Gu Yun's facial expression changed for a moment. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly smiled faintly and said: "It seems I underestimated you too. I didn't expect your technique of borrowing dan to be so powerful. If I could kill you, I'd have to think of a way to dig this skill out of your brain..."

  "But, Du Fei, you can only win against me with the help of Dan Shi... You seem to have weakened by a tiny bit! Because I forgot to tell you one thing! That is, I, Gu Yun, the strongest is not in martial arts, but in playing dan!"

  "Since you want to play with Dan! I'll accompany you!"

  "Blood Dan Technique!"

  As soon as his voice fell, a shocking aura instantly spread from Gu Yun's body, and the skin all over his body also turned red in an instant.

  However, the difference this time was that the red color only paused for a moment before disappearing instantly. Instead, Gu Yun's eyes turned bright red in an instant, and her body seemed to be shrouded in a faint mist of crimson...

  At this moment, Gu Yun's strength had already touched the edge of a 7th-grade martial artist!

  On and off the court, countless faces changed instantly!
