Chapter 71: The Battle

At the foot of the Xuan You Peak, amidst the dense forest, Lian Hao and Lian Xing had grim expressions as they swiftly moved through the mountains. The killing intent on their bodies was boiling, and they were rapidly heading towards the place where Du Fei was laughing wildly to the sky.

At this moment, their true qi had been pushed to the limit.

Over the past few days, they had been constantly searching for Du Fei's trail, but found nothing. However, they never expected that the situation within the Xuan You Secret Realm would change a few days ago. This change made them extremely anxious, for if they couldn't find Du Fei, the Lian family would lose the best opportunity to kill him!

And if they missed this opportunity, Lian Ji's anger would be something they couldn't bear!

Therefore, their minds were now at the peak of agitation!

But they never expected that at this critical moment, Du Fei would laugh wildly to the sky, his posture and purpose clearly declaring war on the Lian family!

At this moment, although the situation within the Xuan You Secret Realm had changed, Lian Hao and Lian Xing didn't believe it had changed much!

And with Du Fei alone, not only did he not flee, but he actually challenged them!

Was this a lack of self-awareness, or did he have countless trump cards?

But no matter which, their goal was simple: to make Du Fei die!

If Du Fei didn't die, they would!

Driven by this emotion, the aura around Lian Hao and Lian Xing kept surging, and with each step, their aura grew stronger.

At this moment, even the usually arrogant beasts felt something and didn't dare to block their path.

Their true qi had been pushed to the limit, and even an Eighth Rank Martial Master would dare not face their full power head-on.

In a flash, they arrived at the place where Du Fei had laughed wildly, and their agitated figures landed with a thud.

But the moment they landed, their expressions changed slightly, for they suddenly lost the sense of Du Fei's presence!

It was as if Du Fei had vanished from the world!

And the momentum they had built up to face Du Fei seemed to have no place to vent, like a punch hitting a cotton ball.

"Du Fei!"

Lian Xing's face was filled with killing intent, and he growled in a low voice.

"Ha ha, aren't these Lian Hao and Lian Xing? Why is one missing? Could it be that Lian Hao is already dead?"

As Lian Xing spoke, a light laugh echoed, and then Du Fei appeared on the top of a giant tree opposite them, looking down with a mocking gaze.

Lian Hao and Lian Xing exchanged a glance, and a hint of shock flashed in their eyes. Although they knew Du Fei was stronger than them, they never expected they couldn't even detect his presence!

At this moment, a hint of regret flashed in their minds. If Lian Hao hadn't died, the three of them together could have killed Du Fei, but now the chances had decreased.

However, these two were not ordinary people. The regret quickly left their minds, and their gaze fell on Du Fei.

"Master Du!" Lian Hao clenched his teeth, his pupils contracting, and he spoke in a deep voice.

At this moment, although Du Fei hadn't moved, Lian Hao felt an immense danger from him.

Even though Du Fei was just standing above, when Lian Hao looked up, it felt like his vision was being pierced by a needle.

This feeling didn't exist when they first met at the entrance of the Xuan You Secret Realm.

But now it was there, which could only mean that Du Fei had grown stronger over the past few days, or was even more dangerous than before!

Back then, with the three of them together, Du Fei still dared to ambush them! Now, by deliberately luring them out, was he really seeking death?

Thinking of this, Lian Hao's heart sank, and his mind became calmer.

But the calmer he became, the clearer he realized that it was already too late to talk. The outcome was already set in stone, a battle to the death, which had been decided when Du Fei began the massacre at the Lian family!

Taking a deep breath to calm his complex emotions, Lian Hao narrowed his eyes and stared at Du Fei, saying coldly, "Master Du Fei, if I were alone and encountered you, I would definitely retreat immediately... If you had reached the peak of the Ninth Rank Martial Master, I would have to admit my inferiority! But now, our strength is roughly equal, and with Lian Xing and I working together, you have no advantage!"

"Therefore, you have only one outcome in front of us: death!"

"Du Fei, don't blame me! If you have to blame someone, blame yourself for offending the Lian family!"

Hearing this, Du Fei's face showed a cold smile. He slowly shook his head and said calmly, "If you want to fight, let's fight. I didn't come here to talk! If you're not going to make a move, I'll end this for you!"

With that, Du Fei's body moved slightly, and a series of bone-cracking sounds echoed. Almost simultaneously, he stepped on the tree branch, and his figure shot down like a bolt of lightning.

In that instant, his true qi flowed instantly, and the air around him turned cold in a breath. As Du Fei moved, it felt like a cold current was rushing down.

As he dove down, Du Fei's aura condensed to the extreme. He sneered and suddenly clenched his right hand, gathering his true qi and delivering a powerful punch downward.

"Ninth Rank Martial Technique! Reverse Punch!"

"Boom..."

A strange energy surged with Du Fei's punch, and a mountain-crushing momentum pressed down on Lian Hao and Lian Xing almost simultaneously!

Lian Hao sneered, his face unchanged. He took a step forward, and in an instant, his body was enveloped in scorching Flame True Qi. His right hand swung, and the true qi condensed into a fiery snake, which lunged at the charging Du Fei.

On the side, Lian Xing also sneered, but he took a step back. He clasped his hands together and then spread them, and two fiery dragons instantly circled behind Du Fei, striking him from behind.

Their coordination was seamless, and they intended to kill Du Fei with their first move!

Both were Ninth Rank Low-Stage Martial Masters, and their attacks were extremely fierce, far surpassing ordinary practitioners of the Body Tempering Fist.

This combined attack made Du Fei's eyes light up! These two, regardless of other skills, were already among the top ten young talents in Bu Yue City!

Although he didn't know why only two of the three people present were attacking, it didn't affect his determination to kill them instantly!

"Du Fei! After you die, don't forget that it was the Lian family of Bu Yue City who killed you!"

As he spoke, the fiery snake Lian Hao had thrown hit Du Fei head-on, and the fiery snake Lian Xing had thrown struck Du Fei's back simultaneously.

At this moment, Lian Hao and Lian Xing were full of confidence. Even if Du Fei didn't die, he would be severely injured!

"Boom..."

The moment Du Fei's fist collided with the fiery snake, the energy on his fist was instantly shattered, and his protective true qi was no match for the fiery snake from behind!

Lian Hao and Lian Xing's faces showed a faint sneer!

No matter how impressive a person was, they were nothing against a combined attack!

"Boom..."

Du Fei's figure was instantly enveloped by the fiery true qi, and it seemed that in just a moment, he would be reduced to nothing.

"Ha ha ha..."

Lian Hao's face lit up, and he let out a wild laugh!

But the laughter was cut short... What shocked Lian Hao was that the fiery true qi that had hit Du Fei had no effect at all!

"Shh..."

Du Fei's figure spun up, and in an instant, he delivered a continuous series of kicks, each one releasing a blade of ice, instantly enveloping the two.

"Bang..."

However, Lian Hao and Lian Xing, being Ninth Rank Martial Masters, reacted quickly. As the ice blades approached, their true qi surged, and they collided with Du Fei's attack head-on!

"Boom..."

Both figures were shaken and thrown back.

Lian Hao fell several dozen meters away, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But when he lifted his head, a hint of shock flashed across his face.

He saw Du Fei almost sticking to Lian Xing as he retreated, his right hand slightly pushing, already clamped around Lian Xing's throat, pushing him like a boulder, crashing backward!

"Crack..."

Lian Xing's figure was pushed back by Du Fei, crashing into a towering tree, leaving a large hole. After the two figures disappeared, the tree collapsed with a loud crash.

"Crack, crack, crack..."

The sound of the tree breaking echoed, and Lian Xing, with Du Fei's hand clamped around his throat, was pushed back, crashing into countless trees. His face was flushed, and blood trickled from the corners of his mouth. Although his body was enveloped in true qi, he seemed to be weakening.

At this moment, Lian Xing was extremely shocked! He never expected that with his strength, he couldn't even put up a fight against Du Fei!

And even with the two of them working together, Du Fei could still do this!

No wonder so many of the Lian family's top geniuses died at his hands! No wonder Lian Ji, known for his ruthlessness, didn't dare to seek revenge face-to-face and had to resort to such underhanded means!

This thought almost drove Lian Xing mad!

Could it be that after all the Lian family's preparations, even sacrificing three Ninth Rank Martial Masters, the outcome would still be this?

As regret flashed in his mind, Lian Xing's eyes suddenly lit up. He clearly saw that Lian Hao, who had been thrown back, had caught up to Du Fei's back, a look of madness on his face, and a palm struck down on Du Fei's back!
