Chapter 44: Killing Intent Surges

"This Du Fei is truly defying the heavens!"

Almost everyone's gaze slowly shifted from Lian Zhen, who was twitching slightly against the pillar, to Du Fei, who still had a sinister look on his face. One by one, they shuddered and couldn't help but comment in their hearts.

Du Fei, however, seemed oblivious to the various gazes. His cold eyes fell on Lian Zhen, who was deeply embedded in the pillar. After a moment, he slowly walked towards him. At this moment, Du Fei had no intention of sparing Lian Zhen's life.

Stuck in the pillar, Lian Zhen could hardly move, but as Du Fei drew closer, he felt genuine fear for the first time. He knew that if he didn't beg for mercy, Du Fei would definitely kill him on the spot.

"Master Du... Master Du... I surrender! It... it was my delusion to want to marry Xiao Ai. It was my overestimation of myself... You... you can treat me like a fart, just let me go!"

Hearing Lian Zhen's pleading words, everyone, regardless of their stance, breathed a sigh of relief. No matter what, today's matter would finally have a conclusion.

However, just as everyone relaxed, Du Fei did not let Lian Zhen off as expected. Instead, he continued to walk towards him, his eyes filled with fear.

The killing intent emanating from Du Fei made everyone realize that he was truly determined to kill!

At this moment, countless faces changed abruptly!

"Du Family's boy, the match is over. Do you still want to deliver a killing blow?" Just as everyone's expressions changed, Lian Ji, who was seated at the head table, could no longer sit still and shouted fiercely.

Du Fei's expression remained unchanged. With a body full of killing intent, he continued to walk towards Lian Zhen, whose face had turned extremely pale.

"Damn it!"

Seeing that Du Fei showed no reaction, another roar echoed, and a figure darted towards Du Fei like a ghost, his body radiating killing intent, clearly ready to strike Du Fei with a fatal blow.

"Lian Ji! You dare to make a move!"

Du Zhen Tian slammed the table and flew out, but he was still a bit slower than Lian Ji.

"I will kill Lian Zhen, and you can't stop me!"

Just as Du Zhen Tian shouted, Du Fei, who had been unresponsive, suddenly sneered. He turned slightly, and his cold gaze fell on Lian Ji, who had appeared in an instant.

"You're just a kid, and you don't know when to die. Do you really think you're my match!" Hearing Du Fei's words, Lian Ji laughed in anger. Before he even reached Du Fei, he swung his right hand, forming a wind blade that slashed towards Du Fei's face.

"Get lost!"

Facing Lian Ji's attack, Du Fei showed no intention of dodging. He bent his right hand and flicked it slightly. Instantly, a tiny spark burst from his fingertip, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a massive fireball nearly a meter in radius, hurtling towards Lian Ji.

"Boom..."

A powerful shockwave formed instantly, and Lian Ji's wind blade dissipated into thin air. In the shocked gazes of the crowd, the massive fireball slammed into Lian Ji, sending him crashing down.

Lian Ji, a Seventh Rank Martial Artist, couldn't even withstand one move from Du Fei!

The faces of those around him stiffened, and Du Zhen Tian, who had already flown into the air, froze, almost falling from the sky.

"Alchemical Skill!"

Staggering to his feet, Lian Ji, though he had managed to withstand the blow at the last moment, was now in turmoil. His horrified gaze swept over Du Fei, and he exclaimed after a moment.

"Truly worthy of being the head of the Lian Family, you have some discernment... The thing you sent me, I will return to you... I said, I will kill Lian Zhen, and you can't stop me!" Du Fei glanced at Lian Ji indifferently, then turned slightly and continued towards Lian Zhen.

This time, Lian Ji's face changed rapidly, but he didn't dare to step forward to block.

"Alchemical Skill? Alchemist!"

As Lian Ji spoke, many people, after a moment of shock, had their faces turn extremely colorful.

Even if Du Fei had relied on his own strength to block Lian Ji, they wouldn't have been this shocked. Du Fei had used an Alchemical Skill!

It was well-known that Alchemical Skills were the hallmark of alchemists. The ability to use such a powerful Alchemical Skill indicated that this person was definitely an alchemist, and of no small rank.

The influence and appeal of alchemists in the Xuanwu Continent were well-known to all.

You could offend anyone, but not an alchemist!

Some people thought even further. If Du Fei was an alchemist, it meant that the Du Family now had an alchemist!

With an alchemist, the Du Family would likely become the dominant force among the three major powers!

However, Du Fei ignored everyone else's thoughts and continued to walk slowly, reaching Lian Zhen. He slowly grabbed the latter's neck and then revealed a sinister smile.

"I will only ask once, and you only have one chance... If you don't satisfy me, I don't care how many people from the Lian Family I've already killed. I won't mind killing one more."

"Who taught you that last move you used?"

Shuddering slightly, Lian Zhen could tell from Du Fei's tone that if he answered incorrectly, he would be killed.

So, this time, Lian Zhen was extremely honest. After taking a deep breath, he quickly said, "The Long Family! One of the five families of Yunshui, the Long Family. They want to deal with your Du Family but are afraid of attracting the attention of the other four families. So, they had us, the Lian Family, make a move... This time, three Eighth Rank Martial Artists from the Long Family were present, with the goal of capturing you alive if you lost... To deal with you, the Long Family taught me that move, the Dragon Claw, but they only gave me a partial scroll, so its power wasn't great..."

"Yunshui Long Family? Long Aotian?" Du Fei sneered, "Very good, then who are the people sent by the Long Family?"

"Th... they are the three... over there..." Lian Zhen, trembling, pointed to three low-profile black-clothed figures at the Lian Family's table, speaking quickly.

"Very good... very obedient... I am very satisfied with your answer..." Du Fei's index finger moved slightly, pressing against Lian Zhen's throat, "But you still have to die!"

"Gurgle..."

As he spoke, with Lian Zhen's face full of disbelief, Du Fei gently crushed his throat, then slowly stood up, his gaze falling on the three figures at the table.

"People from the Long Family... none of you can be left alive!"

Murmuring, Du Fei was very clear that with his current strength, he couldn't directly confront the Long Family. Therefore, these three people from the Long Family could not be left alive.

Fortunately, with his trump card, killing these three wouldn't be difficult!

He waved his hand over the storage ring on his left hand, and several translucent pills emerged from the ring, finally hovering in front of him, slowly circling around him.

"Eight Rank pills, Spirit Condensing Pills!"

There were no shortage of discerning eyes in the hall, and after a moment, they recognized the pills floating around Du Fei.

Du Fei didn't even glance at them, his gaze slowly sweeping over Lian Ji, whose face had turned extremely pale. Then, he crossed his arms and walked slowly towards the three people on the platform, his eyes filled with killing intent.

The three people from the Long Family were not weaklings. They had already sensed something amiss when Lian Zhen died. Now, seeing Du Fei approach, their faces changed slightly, and they focused their attention on him, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"Du Fei, since you know our background, you should know that opposing us will have no good outcome!" The leader hesitated for a moment before speaking in a low voice.

Du Fei didn't stop walking, just casually picked up a pill in front of him, and sneered, "Since you know my identity, you should know that there is no room for compromise between us!"

The leader's face twitched, and after a moment, he said in a low voice, "We have three Eighth Rank Martial Artists. You are no match for us."

"Are you a match? Why don't we try?" Du Fei's right hand moved again, this time holding three pills.

The leader suddenly laughed, his face twisted, "Du Fei! Even if you can kill us, you won't be a match for the Young Master! Moreover, the Young Master's background is far beyond your imagination! Even the people of the Yunshui Du Family would give way to our Young Master, let alone you, a collateral branch!"

Du Fei frowned slightly, then laughed lightly, "So, besides the Yunshui Long Family, there is another dark hand. Thank you for telling me this."

Seeing Du Fei's expression change, the leader laughed maniacally, "Du Fei, why don't you kneel and beg for mercy now, and we can plead for you to the Young Master. Otherwise..."

"People from the Long Family, so talkative!" Du Fei smiled faintly, then suddenly threw the three pills in his hand, which transformed into three massive fireballs, flying out.

"You can tell the Young Master that Du Fei..." The leader pushed the last person back, and the other two lunged forward. However, the power of the Eight Rank pills, using the Alchemical Skill, was comparable to a full-force attack from a high-level Eighth Rank Martial Artist. How could three pills exploding at once be withstood? Before they could finish their sentence, they were turned into charred remains in the flames.

Du Fei didn't even look at this scene, his gaze fixed on the last person retreating quickly, a smile on his lips.

At this point, did he still think he could escape?
