Approximately 83 fights

  Upon hearing this voice filled with murderous intent, Du Fei's eyes narrowed slightly. He was well aware that if he made a move now, there was still a 50% chance he could take Gu Yun's life. However, his own life would likely be forfeit as well.

  As soon as he thought of this, he let out a sigh in his heart, and his figure had already twisted in mid-air, then stiffly retreated backwards!

  "Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"

  In the instant Du Fei landed, just a blink of an eye, suddenly there were three figures flashing by swiftly.

  Du Fei's gaze swept past, and after a moment, he smiled lightly and said: "I don't know what wind is blowing today, but it has actually startled the three masters of the Lian, Bai, and Lü families. It seems that I, Du Fei, am quite famous!"

  The people who came were Lian Ji, Bai An, and Lv Yi.

  At this moment, the three of them quickly shifted their gaze to Gu Yun's unpleasant face, and then immediately fell on Du Fei, with a hint of shock flashing in each of their eyes.

  They knew all along that something would happen on this side, but they didn't expect it to be like this!

  If it weren't for his timely intervention, Gu Yun would have died at Du Fei's hands. Although Du Fei wouldn't have come to a good end either, the three families absolutely couldn't withstand Jun Wuzong's wrath!

  At this thought, the faces of all three were extremely ugly.

  A moment later, Lian Ji's expression changed slightly, and he said faintly: "Young Master Du Fei, Young Master Gu Yun is a distinguished guest we invited from the Imperial Capital. Even if there was any offense, I hope you can let it go for the sake of our three families' reputation."

  Upon hearing this, Du Fei smiled faintly and said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, since the master has spoken, then let's just drop it...... However, I've always thought that people from the Junwu Sect were extraordinary talents, but unexpectedly, now they have to rely on three dogs to save face in order to escape a disaster...... I wonder how someone will stand in the future after this gets out? By that time, even if I don't take action, I'm afraid there will be people who will slap him to death!"

  "Hahaha——"

  Having said that, Du Fei burst out laughing and turned around abruptly, striding away quickly!

  "Wait!"

  Just as Du Fei was about to leave, Gu Yun's face turned cold and he suddenly let out a loud roar.

  "Oh? I don't know if Brother Gu Yun has any other instructions. If it's an apology, then it's really not necessary!" Du Fei replied indifferently, with a hint of a smile.

  "Du Fei, today's matter can't be settled like this... Today I was one move short on the chessboard, my skills are inferior to yours! But that doesn't mean I'm afraid of you! If you have the guts, then three days later we'll set up a dueling platform in Bu Yue City and settle this once and for all!" Gu Yun's face twisted in anger, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

  "To be honest, I really don't dare!" Du Fei sighed and glanced at Lian Ji and others on one side, "This thing sounds good, but if someone loses, there will be a bunch of people coming out to protect him. What's the point of distinguishing between life and death? Today's matter is just like this!"

  "I say it's a matter of life and death! It's indeed a matter of life and death! I swear on the name of Junwu Sect! If anyone dares to intervene even half a step during the duel, Junwu Sect will surely exterminate their entire family! Are you satisfied now?"

  He let out a loud roar, then lowered his voice and said in a gloomy tone.

  "Sincere!" Du Fei smiled lightly, "Since that's the case, I'll accept your challenge! I hope when the time comes, Young Master Gu Yun will keep his word!"

  Having said that, Du Fei suddenly turned around and walked to Xiao Ai's side. He nodded slightly before taking big strides outwards.

  And in the crowd, a road was spontaneously given way, and one by one, they were inexplicably excited.

  A duel on the martial stage! It's been a long time since something like this has happened within the city walls!

  But behind him, Gu Yun seemed to smile faintly, with a hint of a smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

  In a brightly lit hall, a group of people sat around, each with a smile on their face.

  "Master Gu Yun, today's affair is truly an injustice to you!" The first one at the head of the table held up his wine cup and said with a smile.

  At this moment, Gu Yun no longer had the slightest bit of arrogance from before. He simply held up his wine cup and took a sip, then said calmly: "It doesn't matter, Du Fei is quite interesting. If it weren't for this arrangement, I reckon I wouldn't have been able to defeat him... Moreover, he's also extremely formidable, a pretty good opponent!"

  "Haha, it's a pity that this matter has somewhat tarnished Young Master Gu Yun's reputation!" Bai An also slightly raised his cup in a toast, with a smiling expression.

  "What's reputation?" Gu Yun sneered coldly, "What use is reputation? To a dead person, reputation has no meaning at all..."

  "Heh heh, it's just a pity that Du Fei wouldn't have thought of this, but today's events were actually our deliberate doing, and the purpose was to make him die with honor. Even if they're from the Du family, no one can speak up for him... He died on the arena stage, so the people of Yunshui Du family would be too embarrassed to show their faces, right?" A faint smile spread across Bai Yi's face as he said, "Although we lost a lot of face today, being able to toy with Du Fei until his death is already more than enough!"

  "Play to death? I'm afraid not." Gu Yun shook her head slightly and said calmly.

  "Oh? Could it be that even you, Gu Yun, are not entirely confident?" Lü Yi asked in a low voice, his face filled with surprise.

  "It's within our grasp, but... this Du Fei is absolutely not easy to deal with, I think you all understand that very clearly...... However, some things, if they're too simple, wouldn't they completely lose any meaning?" A sly smile appeared on Gu Yun's face, and then he lightly took a sip of wine. "He probably can't imagine that my strongest skill isn't martial arts, but rather playing with alchemy..."

  Du's family.

  "Saint Envoy, is it true that Gu Yun is a person of the Wu Zong Sect?" Du Zhentian stood with his hands behind his back and his eyes swept over Du Xuan's body before he asked in doubt.

  Du Xuan glanced at him faintly, then slowly said: "That's right, this Gu Yun is indeed a person of the Junwu Sect. Moreover, his identity in the Imperial Capital is not low. It is said that he is the illegitimate son of a certain elder of the Junwu Sect. He has great talent for martial arts and alchemy, so although he is not an inner sect disciple of the Junwu Sect, his status is also not low."

  "But with your status as Jun Wu Xiang, why would you intervene in our internal affairs that don't even leave the city?" Du Zhentian rubbed his brow, his face filled with even more doubt.

  Du Xuan said faintly, "You don't understand this. Although Gu Yun is a member of the Junwu Sect, he has always been like this. As long as someone pays the price, he will do anything, and he really has some skills. Over the years, many people have fallen into his hands, and it's estimated that no one in the Junwu Sect behind him dares to take revenge on him."

  "Is that a lone mercenary?" Du Zhentian slightly furrowed his brow, "I didn't expect the Martial Sect to have such a character... However, even if that's the case, with those three old men's background, it seems they can't afford to hire someone of this caliber..."

  "Who knows? Behind the Yun family is the Yun water Yun family, and behind the Lian family should be the Long family... Not to mention the White Robe Gate, these two families already have the qualifications to make Gu Yun take action. The price will make them extremely painful, but unexpectedly they are so afraid of Du Fei that they actually invited such a person for the sake of one Du Fei... The three-day arena duel is going to be interesting..." Du Xuan nodded slightly, with a face full of interest.

  "So what does Saint Messenger think, what are Du Fei's chances of winning in a battle between the two?" Du Zhentian asked in a low voice.

  "I don't know about that. But I hope Du Fei doesn't underestimate Gu Yun... Having been in the imperial capital for so long, Gu Yun is not someone who can be compared to a small role like Zhen! However, if he dies at Gu Yun's hands, then it just means that Du Fei is nothing special either!" Du Xuan smiled lightly again, but his face suddenly turned slightly strange. "I suddenly remembered that I have some friends who came to the nearby city recently on business. It seems that next time, they can come and bear witness... If Du Fei can make Jun Wu Zong suffer a bit, it wouldn't be bad either!"

  As soon as she finished speaking, without waiting for Du Zhentian to open his mouth, Du Xuan had already stood up with a playful expression on her face. With a slight flash of light, she instantly disappeared from the room.

  In the house, Du Zhentian slightly furrowed his brow, and after a moment, he let out a sigh, rubbed his temples with his hand, and muttered to himself: "Du Fei, you're just like your father, always causing trouble everywhere... But this time, it seems like it was unavoidable!"

  Du Zhentian smiled faintly and his face turned extremely strange.

  "Master, are you really going to participate in that arena duel? A duel is not like a normal fight, it's a matter of life and death...!" Little Ai placed her hand on Du Fei's shoulder, pressing down gently, with a worried expression.

  With his eyes closed, enjoying the comfortable massage, Du Fei let out a long sigh before smiling faintly and saying: "It doesn't matter, even if I didn't agree to that arena duel, they would definitely think of ways to make me agree. Since that's the case, why bother wasting my energy? Moreover, I also want to try and see what kind of trump card Gu Yun has."

  "Oh? Young master, you mean that the skills Gu Yun showed today are still not his trump card?" Little Ai asked with a puzzled expression.

  "This is natural, if he only has this ability, would he really fight a duel with me? Is he looking for death? " Du Fei smiled lightly, "Since Gu Yun is like this, it's not because of his impulsive personality, but because he wants to lure me into the game..."

  "If that's the case, then why did you agree to this, Master? You know that a duel on the arena is no small matter! If you were to get even a slight injury... I... I don't know what I would do!" Xiaoyi's movements slowed down, and her worried expression deepened.

  "Hehe, don't worry... Young Master me isn't a fool either. If I didn't have some considerations, would I have agreed to his request so obediently? Gu Yun wants to set up a trap, then let him do it. But who will be the one falling into the trap in the end, that's hard to say... Hehehe..."

  As he spoke, Du Fei lightly clapped his hands and stood up.

  "Nothing's going on here, Xiao Ai, come and help me refine this pill!"
