Chapter 82: The Assassin

"An Eighth Rank Warrior?" Du Fei's gaze swept over Gu Yun, and he felt a bit surprised.

After all, many people could not reach the Ninth Rank Warrior realm in their entire lives. And this Gu Yun, who looked to be in his early twenties, already possessed the strength of an Eighth Rank Warrior, which was truly remarkable!

However, it was merely a matter of not being seen.

Du Fei's gaze was calm as he watched Gu Yun, who then slightly grinned, lightly stepped on the ground, and slowly floated towards Du Fei.

But in this slow and leisurely illusion, in just a breath, Gu Yun had already flashed in front of Du Fei. His palm was slightly boiling with true qi, and he swiftly chopped down at Du Fei's head.

Seeing this, the surprise on Du Fei's face flashed again. Such a refined movement was not often seen!

However, despite his surprise, Du Fei's actions did not change. He slightly sidestepped, and the true qi on his fist instantly condensed. With a fierce aura, he fiercely met Gu Yun's palm!

"Bang..."

A punch and a palm collided fiercely, and the fierce true qi shockwave instantly flashed, causing both of their figures to freeze. But after a moment, Du Fei's face darkened slightly, and the qi on his fist suddenly changed.

Feeling the qi in Du Fei's fist instantly disappear, Gu Yun's face changed slightly, as if he had thought of something. His foot stomped hard, and his entire body's true qi instantly boiled.

"Reverse Punch!"

"Boom..."

In the next instant, a strange qi instantly appeared on Gu Yun's back, causing his figure to tremble slightly, and his face turned pale.

If he had not reacted in time, he might have... Seeing this, many people were secretly impressed.

Relying solely on a Ninth Rank Martial Technique, Du Fei could actually force Gu Yun to retreat?

"Interesting!"

Seeing that Gu Yun had actually resisted his Reverse Punch, Du Fei lightly laughed. In the next instant, his toes lightly touched the ground, and an ice blade instantly cut out!

"Ice Blade Kick!"

Seeing Du Fei's lightning-fast attack, Gu Yun's face finally darkened, and a hint of seriousness flashed across his face. Facing Du Fei's attack, his right hand slightly collided, instantly forming several hand seals, and then he slapped out!

"Explosive Thunder Strike..."

As he slapped out, a bolt of lightning instantly split from his palm, colliding fiercely with the ice blade Du Fei had thrown.

The two collided fiercely in mid-air, instantly exploding apart. The intense vortex they formed almost swept everything around, causing many people to step back involuntarily!

Narrowing his eyes at the scene before him, a hint of seriousness flashed in Du Fei's eyes. He naturally saw that his attack had no effect on Gu Yun.

The strength gap between a Ninth Rank Warrior and an Eighth Rank Warrior could not be bridged by martial techniques!

Since that was the case... A cold smile flashed in Du Fei's mind, and with a thought, the pure medicinal power from the Spirit Concentration Pill suspended above his dantian instantly surged into his true qi vortex, instantly boosting his strength to the peak of an Eighth Rank Warrior.

Taking a deep breath, feeling the qi in his body, Du Fei's face stiffened. His foot stomped hard on the ground, and his figure instantly spun up. Just as Gu Yun was about to land, he lightly pointed out!

"Yin Finger!"

With a sinister smile on his face, as he soared through the air, an extremely cold aura instantly spread from Du Fei, and the oppressive force in his aura made everyone around feel their true qi slightly stagnate.

"Eighth Rank Warrior!"

At this moment, Gu Yun's face turned extremely ugly. In such a situation, he had no choice but to grit his teeth, form a strange seal with his right hand, and fiercely slam it forward, carrying a hint of lightning.

"Purple Thunder Seal!"

"Bang..."

The endless cold and the instantly explosive lightning collided fiercely in just a blink. Then, under the astonished gaze of countless people, the two true qi forces simultaneously exploded!

"Boom..."

A sound like a muffled thunder instantly echoed, and the cold aura, after a brief stalemate, slowly swallowed the purple lightning. Then... "Pfft..."

A figure instantly burst out, slamming heavily onto the ground, and spitting out a mouthful of blood as he landed!

"Chh..."

Another figure also instantly flashed out, sliding back several dozen meters before stabilizing.

This scene instantly made countless people feel dizzy.

Is this... still a confrontation among the young generation? Compared to them, we are just like chickens and dogs!

And when they saw the two figures clearly, their surprise only increased.

Because the one who had spat blood and left was none other than the Eighth Rank Warrior, Gu Yun?

And on the other side, Du Fei looked completely unharmed?

After staring for a while, many people drew a sharp breath, almost unable to believe it.

Xiao Ai also couldn't help but rub her eyes. Although she had great confidence in Du Fei, the other party was an Eighth Rank Warrior! Not just any commoner!

Taking a deep breath, Du Fei lightly rubbed his slightly aching chest.

He had to admit, Gu Yun was also extremely powerful. If he hadn't learned the Mixed Pill Technique, he would likely not be his match.

But now... A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and Du Fei lightly stepped forward, his figure instantly moving forward.

Lying half on the ground, Gu Yun reached up to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth. After a moment, his gaze fell on Du Fei with a peculiar look. As Du Fei approached, he whispered strangely, "Borrowed Pill Technique?"

Hearing this, Du Fei's figure paused. He glanced at the uncertain Gu Yun and frowned, "Are you also a pill master? Do you also know the Borrowed Pill Technique?"

"Is it really the Borrowed Pill Technique?" Gu Yun's face suddenly changed, turning extremely ugly, "Who is your master? In the Da'an Dynasty, there are very few people who can use the Borrowed Pill Technique!"

Hearing this, Du Fei lightly laughed and said indifferently, "Why don't you guess? If you guess right, there's a prize!"

Saying this, Du Fei took another half step forward, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

This Gu Yun, with just the strength of a warrior, was already so formidable. Now, it seemed he was also a pill master. If he were to recover, he would be even harder to deal with!

Various expressions flashed in his eyes, and after a moment, Gu Yun seemed to see the killing intent in Du Fei's eyes. His hand slammed on the ground, and his figure instantly leaped up. He stared at Du Fei for a moment and said hoarsely, "Du Fei, don't think you're the only one who knows the Borrowed Pill Technique! Although I don't know what side effects your Borrowed Pill Technique has, don't force me..."

"I'm not forcing you!" Du Fei smiled indifferently, "Since we've already started, we can't just end it like this. Use your best moves, or else... hehehe..."

"Or else, do you dare to kill me?" Gu Yun also sneered, then laughed coldly and said loudly, "I am from the Junwu Sect. Even the Du family of Yunshui wouldn't dare to touch me! You, of all people, dare to fight me!"

"Junwu Sect?" Du Fei frowned slightly, but after a moment, his killing intent grew even stronger. He had already offended him, and if he didn't kill this person, there would be more trouble in the future. If he didn't kill him, would he just let it go?

Since it was trouble anyway, it might as well be clean and decisive!

With this thought, Du Fei's eyes flashed with killing intent, and he stomped hard, his right palm fiercely slamming down!

Seemingly not expecting Du Fei to dare to make a killing move, Gu Yun's face stiffened. Then, without hesitation, he quickly bit his tongue and instantly spat out a mouthful of blood!

As the blood spurted out, his aura seemed to instantly surge, and his entire body's skin turned a blood-red color!

"Blood Pill Technique!"

As he spoke, Gu Yun's blood-red hands instantly slammed out, and the two palms fiercely collided.

"Bang..."

A loud noise echoed, and the true qi that collided fiercely instantly exploded. Du Fei's figure tumbled in mid-air for a moment before landing on the ground, his face changing slightly as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Gu Yun's figure also retreated several steps, though he did not spit blood, his face turned extremely ugly.

"Is this the Blood Pill Technique? The Borrowed Pill Technique that Gu Yun knows?"

With Du Fei's keen eyesight, he naturally saw that the Blood Pill Technique should be a method of integrating the medicinal power of pills into the bloodstream and activating it when needed. In just an instant, Gu Yun's strength had increased by at least twenty percent.

Although the Blood Pill Technique was inferior to his Mixed Pill Technique, even so, at this moment, it seemed he could not easily kill Gu Yun!

After all, his original strength was already a few notches higher than Du Fei's!

However, these thoughts flashed through his mind, and then Du Fei's figure instantly flashed towards Gu Yun again. If he didn't act now, there would be no more opportunities in the future!

With a thought, a pill appeared in front of Du Fei, spinning rapidly.

As the pill appeared in front of Du Fei, many people's faces instantly changed. The situation had escalated to this point, far beyond a simple rivalry.

And Du Fei was actually this strong! Even an Eighth Rank Warrior was no match for him!

Before this thought could fully form, Du Fei's figure had already flashed out like a ghost, and the pill in front of him slowly emitted a brilliant light!

At this moment, several figures almost simultaneously flew in from all directions, and several true qi-infused energy waves shot through the air.

The sharp aura in the energy waves made Du Fei squint his eyes!

"Du Fei! You actually dare to attack a guest of the Lian family!"
