Chapter 65: Making a Move

Du Fei was greatly interested in Ba Han's confident demeanor. He wanted to see if Ba Han could break through that layer of energy.

Like Du Fei, most of the others also knew the name of this outstanding figure around Bu Yue City, and their gazes were now fixed on him.

Seemingly aware of the gazes from behind, Ba Han merely gave a cold laugh and strode toward the entrance of the pavilion.

As he moved, each step left a shallow footprint on the stone platform, and his aura steadily rose with each step.

In an instant before the pavilion, Ba Han's aura reached its peak, and his true qi surged out instantly.

Seeing this, even Du Fei's eyes flashed with surprise. Originally, he didn't think Ba Han was that formidable, but from this scene, it was clear that this person was not as simple as he had imagined.

From the way Ba Han acted, it was evident that his old rival, Zhu Le, was also no simple character.

Unconsciously, Du Fei reined in his thoughts of underestimating everyone, and his mindset subtly improved.

"Hum..."

Suddenly, a faint blue light appeared on the jade pendant in Ba Han's hand, enveloping him entirely. In that moment, Ba Han's figure flickered and he charged forward, colliding fiercely with the light barrier ahead.

"Shh..."

A series of faint sounds followed, and a strange wave of energy instantly rippled out. However, unlike before, this wave seemed to cancel out when it met the blue light around Ba Han. Although Ba Han's body trembled slightly, he still stepped forward.

At this moment, the atmosphere on the stone platform became tense. As Ba Han took a step forward, many people began to stir.

"Bang..."

In that instant, the jade pendant in Ba Han's hand suddenly trembled and exploded. Ba Han's face changed rapidly, and he quickly pushed off the ground, retreating like a startled bird.

Almost simultaneously, a wave of energy, stronger than any before, rippled out. At this moment, everyone present had to focus to deal with it.

"Bang..."

Taking a step forward, Du Fei blocked the wave of energy spreading toward Gong Sun Hong, his body trembling slightly, and his face turning a bit pale.

"Spit..."

Retreating several steps in the air, Ba Han finally landed on the ground. His face changed several times, and after spitting out a mouthful of blood, he wiped his mouth, looking gloomy. "Damn it! This fake is indeed a fake, it couldn't even hold up for a moment!"

"Fake?" Hearing this, Du Fei raised an eyebrow and exchanged a glance with Gong Sun Hong, remaining calm.

From Ba Han's words, it seemed there was something suspicious.

"If you can't do it, don't show off... But you Blood Wolf Gang people are always so overconfident... It seems that even if I say this, it won't help!"

While everyone's thoughts were peculiar, a soft voice with a hint of mockery slowly sounded.

Hearing this, Du Fei's gaze swept over and found that it was Zhu Le.

Hearing Zhu Le speak, Ba Han spat again, saying, "Pretty boy, you're good at talking nonsense. If you're so capable, why don't you try it yourself? If you can obtain the Xuan You Sect's legacy, I, Ba Han, will give you my life! If you can't, I'll twist off your head! Do you dare?"

Zhu Le's face turned cold for a moment before he smiled faintly, saying, "Ba Han, don't just talk big. If I can obtain the Xuan You Sect's legacy, the first thing I'll do is exterminate your entire Blood Wolf Gang! However, if you kowtow to me three times right now, I might consider letting you off!"

"Ha ha ha!"

Ba Han laughed wildly, "Pretty boy, don't be too arrogant before you've accomplished anything. Be careful you don't even know how to write the word 'death'!"

Hearing Ba Han's words, a mocking look flashed in Zhu Le's eyes, and he smiled faintly, saying, "Don't regret it..."

With that, he no longer looked at Ba Han, and quickly dashed toward the entrance of the pavilion.

Unlike Ba Han, as he moved through the air, Zhu Le lightly flicked his right hand, and a long sword appeared in his hand. He seemed to have activated some secret technique, and a faint light enveloped the sword, forming a spiral of energy at the tip, which he thrust fiercely toward the entrance of the pavilion.

"Boom..."

The moment Zhu Le's figure collided, the wave of energy was shattered by his sword, and the milky white light barrier seemed to waver and dim slightly.

Seeing this, Zhu Le's face lit up with joy. He took a deep breath, and his true qi instantly spread out, making the energy at the tip of the sword even more intense.

"Shh... Shh... Shh..."

As his true qi surged, wave after wave of energy was split by Zhu Le, and the milky white light barrier began to tremble.

This scene caused many people's faces to change dramatically!

If Zhu Le broke through this light barrier and entered, wouldn't the Xuan You Sect's legacy be his?

At this moment, some people were already preparing to make a move.

However, before they could act, Zhu Le's face, which had been filled with joy, suddenly stiffened. After a moment, his face turned ashen, and in the gaze of many, his long sword suddenly developed several cracks and instantly shattered!

"Bang..."

Shaken by the last wave of energy, Zhu Le was thrown to the ground. After a moment, he spat out a mouthful of blood and struggled to his feet, looking disheveled.

Anyone could see that he had almost broken through the barrier.

However, "almost" was not a real breakthrough, and thus it was meaningless.

"Heh heh! Pretty boy, you talk big, but you ended up like this! If you're so capable, try again!" Seeing Zhu Le's disheveled state, Ba Han sneered and said sarcastically.

Hearing this, Zhu Le's face changed slightly, but he didn't seem to want to argue with Ba Han. He just grunted and sat down to meditate.

Seeing this, Ba Han spat and knew that this was not the best time to act. His gaze quickly fell on the pavilion.

With Zhu Le's defeat, no one dared to challenge the barrier casually. However, as time passed, the light barrier seemed to grow stronger.

At this point, many people could no longer hold back and were preparing to try with their own methods.

However, without exception, each of them was instantly defeated. Although Zhu Le had failed, he seemed to be the only one who had almost broken through the barrier.

The situation had reached a point where no one seemed to have a solution for the light barrier. However, no one was willing to leave, and they all looked around, trying to figure out who could break through.

Du Fei also looked around and noticed that, besides himself, only Bai Yi had not tried.

Was he not planning to try, or did he have some other plan... Regardless, Du Fei didn't intend to stay here any longer. After all, there were still many people in the Xuan You Secret Realm who wanted his life. He wasn't so foolish as to wait indefinitely.

Taking a deep breath, Du Fei glanced back at Gong Sun Hong and whispered, "Among these people, you are probably the weakest... I will try to break through, but no matter what, when I draw their attention, you must leave immediately. I don't want to risk them using you to threaten me... Understand? As for the benefits I promised you, I won't let you down."

Gong Sun Hong was not an ordinary person. She nodded without any pretense, saying, "Understood. But be careful, this situation seems very strange."

"Even if it's strange, shouldn't we still try?" Du Fei smiled, made a gesture to leave at any moment, and then suddenly strode forward, saying to the crowd, "Since no one else is willing to try, let me give it a shot."

Almost as soon as Du Fei spoke, all the gazes in the crowd fell on him. Some of these people knew Du Fei, while others did not, but regardless, their gazes were all extremely peculiar.

Seeing that Du Fei had successfully drawn everyone's attention, Gong Sun Hong quietly retreated and quickly disappeared from the stone platform.

Seeing this, Du Fei felt a bit more at ease. He scanned the surroundings, took a deep breath, and then took out the jade pendant Gong Sun Hong had given him, carefully approaching the pavilion in the center of the stone platform.

Under the gazes of many, a blue light instantly enveloped Du Fei as he approached the pavilion. This light was much stronger than the one around Ba Han... At this moment, everyone seemed to forget to breathe.
