82. Underhanded
"Eight-rank warrior?" His gaze swept over Gu Yun's body, and Du Fei also had a hint of surprise in his heart.
It's worth noting that many people can't even reach the realm of a 9th-grade martial artist in their lifetime. And yet, Gu Yun, who looks to be only around twenty years old, already has the strength of an 8th-grade martial artist - it's truly not simple!
It's just that it may not be seen.
Gazing softly at Du Fei, who had retreated, Gu Yun slightly curled up the corners of his mouth and tapped his foot gently on the ground before slowly floating towards Du Fei.
But just under this slow and leisurely illusion, almost in the blink of an eye, Gu Yun had already flashed to Du Fei's face, and immediately his palm was slightly boiling with true energy, a palm that had already chopped towards Du Fei's head.
At this sight, Du Fei's face flashed with astonishment once again. Such exquisite footwork was rarely seen!
However, Du Fei's movements didn't change at all, and with a slight shift of his body, the true energy on his fist converged in an instant, then fiercely brought a fierce and murderous aura to meet Gu Yun's palm!
"Hmm——"
One fist and one palm collided fiercely, the fierce true energy ripples flashed instantly, causing both of their figures to freeze for a moment. However, after a brief moment, Du Fei's face turned slightly gloomy, and the aura on his fist suddenly changed.
Feeling the aura of Du Fei's fist peak suddenly disappear, Gu Yun's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something, his foot had already taken a fierce step, and his whole body's true energy instantly boiled.
"Reverse Fist!"
"Boom——"
In the next instant, a strange and eerie aura suddenly appeared on Gu Yun's back, causing his body to tremble slightly, while his face turned pale.
If it wasn't for his timely reaction, I'm afraid......
And seeing this scene, many people also subtly admired in their hearts.
Relying solely on his ninth-grade martial skills, Du Fei was actually able to force Gu Yun back?
"That's interesting!"
When he saw Gu Yun withstand his counter-attacking fist, Du Fei lightly laughed and in the next instant, his toes slightly lifted off the ground, an icy blade suddenly sliced out!
"Icy Leg!"
Looking at Du Fei's swift and fierce attack, Gu Yun's face finally turned slightly gloomy, with a hint of caution flashing across his face. In response to Du Fei's strike, he slightly raised his right hand, instantly condensing several hand seals, then slapped out with his palm!
"Thunderbolt Strike—"
As he burst out, a lightning bolt suddenly split from his palm and hit the ice blade that Du Fei had swung out.
The two collided violently in mid-air, and the resulting shockwave sent everything flying. The intense whirlwind it created almost swept away everything around them, causing many people to involuntarily take several steps back!
Squinting at the scene in front of him, a hint of solemnity flashed across Du Fei's eyes. He could naturally see that his attack had no effect on Gu Yun whatsoever.
The gap in strength between a 9th rank martial artist and an 8th rank martial artist cannot be made up for by fighting skills alone!
In that case...
A cold smile appeared in his heart, and Du Fei's mind moved between thoughts. In an instant, the pure medicinal power of the Condensed Spirit Dan suspended above his dantian sea of qi suddenly surged into his true qi vortex, causing his strength to explosively rise to the peak of an 8th rank warrior in just one breath.
He slowly took a deep breath, and as he felt the energy within him, Du Fei's face slightly solidified, his foot already fiercely stomping on the ground, his body suddenly spinning into flight. Just as Gu Yun was about to land, one finger lightly pointed out!
"Mysterious Yin Finger!"
With a hint of a cold smile on his face, in the instant he took to the air, an aura of extreme chilliness also spread out from Du Fei's body, and the oppressive force within his aura made everyone around him feel their true energy slightly stagnate.
"An Eighth-Rank Martial Artist?!"
At this moment, Gu Yun's face also turned ugly to the extreme. In such a situation, he was unable to retreat and could only grit his teeth fiercely. His right hand had formed a strange seal, accompanied by a faint lightning glow, and heavily struck out forward.
"Violet Lightning Seal!"
"Hmm——"
Endless coldness and instantaneous violent thunder and lightning almost collided together in an instant, and then, under the gaze of countless people, two true energies burst out simultaneously!
"Boom——"
Like the sound of a muffled thunder, a chill breath rose, and after a brief stalemate, it slowly swallowed the purple lightning, then...
"Hmmph!"
A figure suddenly burst out from the middle, heavily smashing onto the ground, and at the moment of landing, a mouthful of blood spurted out!
"Hmph!"
Another figure also flashed out instantly, rubbing against the ground and retreating dozens of meters before finally stabilizing his body.
This scene suddenly made countless people feel dizzy in front of their eyes.
Is this still a fight between young and old? Compared with others, I am like a wild chicken and a tile dog!
But when they finally saw clearly the two figures scattering in different directions, this astonishment was even more intense.
Because the one who left with a mouthful of blood was unexpectedly Gu Yun, an eighth-grade martial artist?
On the other hand, Du Fei seemed to be completely unaffected?
After staring for half a moment, many people couldn't help but take a sharp breath of cold air, almost unable to believe it.
Xiao Ai couldn't help but rub her eyes, she had great confidence in Du Fei, but the opponent was an eighth-grade martial artist! Not some stray cat or dog on the street!
He slowly took a deep breath, and Du Fei gently rubbed his slightly sore chest.
Can't help but admit that Gu Yun is also extremely formidable. If he hadn't mastered the Hun Dan technique, he probably wouldn't be his match.
It's just now...
A hint of chill flashed across his eyes, and Du Fei had already lightly tapped the tip of his foot, his body instantly moving forward.
Lying half on the ground, Gu Yun stretched out his hand and gently touched the blood at the corner of his mouth. After a moment, his rather strange gaze fell on Du Fei, and it wasn't until Du Fei approached that he spoke in a low, somewhat eerie tone: "Borrow Dan Fa?"
Upon hearing this, Du Fei's figure also paused slightly. He swept a glance at Gu Yun's face, which was full of surprise and uncertainty, before furrowing his brow and saying: "You're also a Dan Master? You also know how to borrow the power of alchemy?"
"Is it really the Borrowing Dan Method?" Gu Yun's face suddenly changed, looking extremely unpleasant. "Who exactly is your master? In the Great An Kingdom, there are only a few people who can use this Borrowing Dan Method!"
Upon hearing this, Du Fei smiled lightly and said indifferently: "Go ahead and guess, there's a prize if you're right!"
Having said that, Du Fei took another half step forward, and a hint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
This Gu Yun's strength as a martial artist is already quite formidable, now it seems that he is likely also an alchemist, if given time to catch his breath, he won't be easy to deal with!
The colors in his eyes kept flashing, and after a moment, Gu Yun seemed to have also seen the murderous intent in Du Fei's eyes. His palm suddenly slapped the ground, and his body leapt up, staring at Du Fei with an odd gaze for a moment before speaking in a hoarse voice: "Du Fei, don't think you're the only one who can borrow Dan Fa! Although I also don't know what kind of aftereffects your borrowed Dan Fa has, but... don't force me..."
"I didn't force you!" Du Fei smiled faintly, "Since we've already started, can't just end it like this? What tricks do you have up your sleeve, best to bring them out quickly, otherwise... Hehehe..."
"If not, do you dare to kill me?" Gu Yun also sneered and coldly laughed, saying loudly: "I am a person of the Junwu Sect, Du Fei, even the Du family of Yunshui wouldn't dare to move against me! Do you think you can take action against me?"
"Are you Wu Zong?" Du Fei slightly furrowed his brow, but a moment later, the killing intent in his heart surged even more. Having already offended him, if he didn't kill this person, it would likely lead to even more trouble in the future. If he didn't kill him, could it be that Wu Zong would just let things drop?!
It's all troublesome anyway, might as well make a clean break of it!
At this thought, Du Fei's eyes burst with murderous intent, and he took a fierce step forward, his right palm striking down violently!
It seemed that no one expected Du Fei to dare make a killer move, but Gu Yun's face suddenly stiffened, and then he didn't hesitate anymore. He quickly bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood in an instant!
And in the instant that blood spurted out, its momentum seemed to surge several times, and its entire skin turned into a crimson color!
"Blood Dan Technique!"
As soon as the voice fell, Gu Yun's blood-colored hands also burst out instantly, and the two palms collided heavily together.
"Hmm——"
A deafening crash shook the air, as a burst of true energy violently exploded! Du Fei's body somersaulted in mid-air for an instant before landing on the ground, his face pale, and a mouthful of blood spurted out.
Gu Yun's body also retreated several steps back, although he didn't spit out blood, his face was extremely pale.
"Is this the Blood Dan Technique? The Borrowed Dan Technique that Gu Yun knows?"
With Du Fei's discerning eye, it was clear that this Blood Dan technique should be a method of infusing the medicinal properties of the dan into the blood vessels and activating them when needed. In just an instant, Gu Yun's strength had increased by at least 20%.
Although this Blood Dan method is inferior to his own Hun Dan method, at this moment, Gu Yun seems to be unaware that he can actually kill him.
After all, his strength was originally a few points stronger than mine!
However, these thoughts only flashed through his mind for a moment, and Du Fei's figure had already moved towards Gu Yun again. If he didn't make a move now, there would be no more opportunities in the future!
In a flash of thought, a dan medicine had already appeared in front of Du Fei, spinning around with a whirring sound.
But at the moment when Dan medicine appeared on Du Fei's body, many people's faces had already changed drastically. Things have developed to this point, where is it still a normal fight for favor?
But Du Fei had actually become this powerful! Even an eighth-grade martial artist was no match for him!
The thought had barely flashed through his mind when Du Fei's figure, like a ghostly apparition, flashed out once more. The medicinal pill in front of him also slowly emitted a burst of brilliant light!
Just at this moment, several figures almost simultaneously flew in from all directions, and several condensed auras of true energy burst into the air.
The sharp breath in the air made Du Fei slightly narrow his eyes!
"Du Fei! You actually dare to lay hands on me, a noble guest in your own home!"
