Chapter 61: Zhu Le

*Peng...*

However, just as Gongsun Hong was about to be covered by the net, a figure suddenly darted out from the side, delivering a fierce punch that landed heavily on one of the three men.

The punch hit its mark, and the man's whole body trembled violently, his face turning slightly pale as he immediately retreated. One of the men exposed a weakness, and Gongsun Hong took the opportunity to swiftly retreat as well.

"Who is it! I am handling matters for the Soul Suppressing Fort, I hope you do not interfere, friend!"

The man with a sallow complexion shouted sternly, but he was also shocked inside.

No matter who the other party was, to be able to force him back with a single punch, that strength was not to be underestimated!

"Originally, whatever you were doing had nothing to do with me, but I have a decent relationship with Miss Gongsun Hong, so I can't just stand by and watch her die, can I?" A faint laugh echoed, and then a figure stepped forward, landing between the two groups. His eyes, half-smiling, slowly scanned the surroundings.

Seeing this familiar figure, Gongsun Hong was taken aback. After a moment, she hesitated and said, "Du... Du Fei!"

Looking back at the shocked Gongsun Hong, Du Fei just smiled and said slowly, "If I didn't help, I'm afraid my big cousin wouldn't let me off either."

"You..." Hearing this, Gongsun Hong's face turned a rosy red. After a moment, she whispered, "Thank you... But don't talk nonsense."

As she said this, Gongsun Hong's face became even more bashful. She originally didn't think much of Du Fei, but unexpectedly, from the Du family competition to the Lian family banquet, and now in this Mystic Profound Realm, Du Fei always managed to surprise her. Even now, it was Du Fei who came to her rescue. This feeling made Gongsun Hong extremely uncomfortable, and she momentarily forgot her current situation.

"Bold! Not only do you not respect the Soul Suppressing Fort, but you also intend to play the hero? Friend, I guess you don't know my methods, Jiao Hao!" Seeing this scene, the man with the sallow complexion's face twitched, and he said in a sinister tone.

No matter how powerful the sudden appearance was, as long as they were in the Mystic Profound Peak, their strength could only be at the Seventh Level of Body Forging!

And on his side, there were four people at the Seventh Level of Body Forging! He had nothing to fear!

Hearing this, Du Fei slowly turned his head, his slightly disdainful gaze sweeping over the man before he said coolly, "Scram. I've killed enough people recently; I don't want to kill anymore."

Hearing Du Fei's words, Jiao Hao's face darkened again. After a moment, he sneered, "Very well! Since you refuse my offer, don't blame us for being ruthless!"

With that, the three figures almost simultaneously lunged at Du Fei.

*Crack...*

Du Fei's figure spun, and his foot swiftly lashed out, striking the chest of the leading man with a powerful wind, sending him flying. Then, his body flipped, and his hands grabbed the heads of the other two. With a slight effort, the two figures collided, and a powerful punch landed on one of them.

*Puh... Puh... Puh...*

The three men spat out blood, their hearts surging with shock. Before they could think more, they quickly retreated.

However, Du Fei had no intention of letting them go. He just smiled coldly, and his figure flashed again. His right foot suddenly lashed out, striking Jiao Hao's head.

*Peng...*

Jiao Hao's head was smashed into the ground. Just as he struggled to get up, Du Fei's foot pressed down again, burying his head in the dirt.

After a slight effort, Du Fei smiled and said coolly, "Since you refused my offer, I don't think you can blame me, can you?"

With that, Du Fei's foot lifted slightly, and his right hand slapped down, sending Jiao Hao flying like a dead dog.

In just a blink, the three men at the Seventh Level of Body Forging were defeated by Du Fei, a scene that left everyone present in shock.

Gongsun Hong was also astonished. Although she knew Du Fei was strong, she never expected that with just the Seventh Level of Body Forging, he could be so powerful.

Jiao Hao and the others were struggling and groaning on the ground, their trembling gazes falling on Du Fei, then quickly looking away, too afraid to look.

They couldn't believe that, with the same Seventh Level of Body Forging and no use of true qi, they could be defeated so easily.

If they were suppressed by a higher realm, they could understand, but the current situation left them completely baffled.

*Clap, clap, clap...*

A light applause echoed, and the man who had been watching with his hands behind his back slowly turned his gaze to Du Fei. After a moment, he revealed a cold smile and said, "Not bad. Although these three are useless, to defeat them all at once is quite an achievement... You are Du Fei, right? From the Du family of Bu Yue City?"

Du Fei's gaze slowly fell on the man, and he frowned slightly. The man felt familiar, but he couldn't immediately recall who he was.

However, this man gave Du Fei an extremely dangerous feeling. Although their current strength was equal, Du Fei estimated that if they fought, it would not be as easy as dealing with the previous three.

Taking a deep breath, Du Fei's gaze fell on Gongsun Hong, and he said coolly, "Why did they attack you? To dare to risk being exterminated by the Gongsun family, it seems they have a significant goal!"

Hearing this, Gongsun Hong hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "They know I have the key to opening the Mystic Profound Sect's ancestral site, so they wanted to attack me and take it."

"The Mystic Profound Sect's ancestral site?" Du Fei's body trembled, and his eyes flashed with disbelief.

He had only come to try his luck, but he never expected that others had already discovered the key to the ancestral site. What other secrets were hidden in this Mystic Profound Realm that he didn't know?

However, these thoughts only flashed through Du Fei's mind. He didn't show much, just his gaze slowly fell on the man in the moon-white robe, and he smiled lightly, saying, "Since it involves the Mystic Profound Sect's ancestral site, I can't just stand by. I hope you leave... I think you know that if we fight, neither of us will benefit."

"Oh? I, Zhu Le, am not so easy to deal with. Although you, Young Master Du Fei, have a great reputation... others may fear you, but I, Zhu Le, do not!" The man called Zhu Le smiled wickedly, his face showing an extremely strange expression.

"Zhu Le? Zhu Le of the White Robe Sect? So it's you. No wonder I have a vague impression." After a moment of hesitation, Du Fei's gaze swept over the man coolly.

It was said that Zhu Le was greedy and lustful, not much of a person, but upon meeting him, Du Fei could confirm that Zhu Le was far stronger than many in his own family!

Such a person would not be easy to deal with!

"You are Zhu Le?" Gongsun Hong's face changed slightly, and she seemed to recall something, "My cousin, Gongsun Yun, died because of you! Tell me, did you kill her?"

Zhu Le smiled faintly and shook his head slowly, "Miss Gongsun, don't wrong a good person! I didn't intend to kill her, but that woman was very stupid. Since she could give me everything, why wouldn't she answer my questions? In the end, I had to let my fellow disciples take good care of her, but she still refused to yield... What a pity... However, your maid wasn't as strong-willed... She told me everything after just one night with me..."

Hearing this, Gongsun Hong's face changed, and she trembled with anger. If she hadn't remained somewhat calm, she would have already rushed at him to fight to the death.

Du Fei frowned slightly, stepped to the side, and blocked Gongsun Hong, then said coolly, "Originally, what you do has nothing to do with me... but to disgust me like this is your fault. So, Young Master Zhu Le, I will take your life!"

Hearing Du Fei's words, Zhu Le's face showed a strange smile. After a moment, he licked his lips and said, "Not bad, besides Ba Han, you are the first to speak to me like this... But, I wonder if you have the same skills as Ba Han!"

With that, Zhu Le's foot stomped down, and his figure instantly appeared in front of Du Fei, his right foot striking Du Fei's face without any flair.

"Not bad!"

Du Fei sneered, his figure not dodging. His right hand quickly formed a finger, and with a spin, it struck the sole of Zhu Le's foot.

*Peng...*

The two figures collided, and a powerful shockwave spread out, even lifting the debris on the ground.

"What kind of Body Forging Fist is this?" As they passed each other, Zhu Le looked at Du Fei with surprise, unable to help but ask.

"Do I need to answer?" Du Fei smiled and casually brushed off his hands.

Zhu Le's face changed for a moment, and after a while, he smiled, "Not bad, in terms of Body Forging Fist, I am not your match... but once we reach the top, it won't just be about how well you practice Body Forging Fist! Young Master Du Fei, the path up the mountain won't be easy, you'd better be careful!"

"And I will wait for you at the entrance of the Mystic Profound Sect. Let's see who can obtain the legendary inheritance of the Mystic Profound Sect!"

With that, Zhu Le laughed loudly, not looking at the three on the ground, and his figure quickly retreated, sliding up the mountain.
