Chapter 87: Retreat in Surprise

"Boom..."

The lightning and ice blades exploded almost simultaneously, causing the thick true qi aftereffects to instantly spread out in all directions.

The two figures, after a momentary pause in mid-air, quickly retreated.

"Du Fei, you are indeed very interesting! I haven't encountered someone who could fight me to this extent in a long time! You are quite impressive!" As his attack was blocked again, Gu Yun couldn't help but lick his lips and said with a slightly eerie tone, "However, I, Gu Yun, am not so easy to deal with... Du Fei, don't die on me!"

"Seventh Rank Martial Technique! Purple Lightning Seal!"

With a shout, lightning surged all over Gu Yun's body. As the seal in his hand changed, several strange lightning beams instantly converged, forming a purple lightning hand seal in front of him. With a slap of his palm, a purple lightning hand seal fiercely descended upon Du Fei.

Feeling this overwhelmingly powerful aura, Du Fei's brows furrowed even more! Indeed, compared to when they were just putting on a show, Gu Yun was much stronger now!

However, if he thought he could win with just this, it wouldn't be that easy.

In the instant his thoughts changed, Du Fei's palm also rapidly changed the seal. His figure flickered slightly, creating three afterimages that moved in different directions, then paused and fiercely charged forward.

The three figures collided with Gu Yun's hand seal from three directions.

"Bang..."

A dull explosion echoed instantly, and the true qi aftereffects continuously surged on the stage. Gu Yun felt his figure slightly tilt, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes.

He originally thought that if he used his true strength, Du Fei would definitely not be his match. But unexpectedly, even without holding back, he still couldn't deal with him!

At this thought, a fierce aura flashed in his eyes, and his figure instantly became faster. Purple lightning continuously flickered, forming huge seals that fiercely descended upon Du Fei.

In an instant, lightning flashed on the stage, as if a thunder god had descended.

Facing Gu Yun's frenzied attack, Du Fei's expression remained unchanged! If the power of a punch was too strong, the movement would inevitably slow down! His right hand again pressed firmly on his brow, and with the help of his mental power, Du Fei's Flashing Void seemed to become even faster, almost continuously avoiding Gu Yun's attacks in impossible ways, and often delivering a punch the moment Gu Yun retracted his hand!

As the two sides exchanged blows, it eventually turned into a fierce struggle, leaving the onlookers mesmerized! No one could have imagined that the arena battle would be so intense!

"Little Ai, who do you think will win between Du Fei and Gu Yun?" On the right VIP seat, Du Qian slowly stood up, walked to Little Ai's side, and sat down, then said calmly.

"Eh?" Little Ai was startled, already standing up, and whispered, "Miss..."

"Sit down. I'm not here to put on a show. I just want to ask you who you think will win." Du Qian glanced at Little Ai and said calmly.

"Well, I don't know... But I think Young Master will win. I have confidence in Young Master!" Little Ai hesitated for a moment and then whispered.

"Is that so? But I feel you are quite worried..." She chuckled lightly, her gaze falling back on the stage, "But I think differently. I believe Du Fei's chances of winning are slim... This Gu Yun is not someone like Lian Zhen, a waste. If Du Fei had practiced for three more years, Gu Yun would definitely not be his match, but now... the result is very hard to predict... Moreover, if Du Fei loses, your fate will be very dire... I ask you... are you afraid?"

Hearing this, Little Ai clenched her teeth slightly and said after a moment, "Young Master won't lose! Because he is my Young Master! So I firmly believe this!"

Below the stage, on the temporarily placed seats, Shui Yao narrowed her eyes and watched the battle on the stage. After a moment, she said calmly, "This kid is very strong, Du Xuan. To not bring such talent into the main family is a loss for your Du family!"

"Whether he is talented or not, I don't know now. But I only know that even with outstanding talent, today's matter can only be resolved by himself. If he can't get through this, then no matter what, it will be useless..." Du Xuan's expression remained unchanged as she said calmly.

"However, to fight Gu Yun to this extent is rare among the younger generation! Moreover, he looks to be only fifteen or sixteen years old... To have such strength at this age, his talent is like a demon." Yun Yuqing also said calmly, and a strange look flashed in her eyes.

This Du Fei, why does he look somewhat familiar? But after a moment, she shook her head, dispelling the thought. After all, someone like Du Fei was not worthy of her attention.

"Do you praise him so highly, but do you know if he can defeat Gu Yun?" Liu Ba sneered from the side.

"Although Gu Yun is an outer disciple of Junwu Sect, he has a special status within the sect. Therefore, apart from the inherited martial techniques and cultivation methods of Junwu Sect, he has also mastered many other martial techniques! His strength is not just at his level; even we few would find him a headache... Among Eighth Rank Martial Masters, there might be someone who can defeat him, but it definitely won't be this kid. Just because a year ago, he was still a useless person who knew nothing!" Long Aotian, with a cold expression, suddenly smiled faintly and spoke slowly.

Hearing Long Aotian speak, the others exchanged glances, a strange look flashing in their eyes. This Long Aotian seems to know a lot about Du Fei!

"Lightning Chaos!"

After a moment of fighting, Gu Yun seemed to lose interest in the direct confrontation. His small sigh of disappointment was completely reined in, and he shouted softly. His figure slid backward, and a faint thundering sound instantly spread across the stage.

The moment his figure retreated, the lightning in mid-air seemed to form a mysterious formation, and with his movements, it fiercely slashed toward Du Fei.

At this moment, this chaotic lightning was unavoidable! If hit directly, even someone with higher strength would instantly turn into charcoal!

Seeing this, Du Fei also took a deep breath, a purple light flashing in his eyes. He inhaled deeply, and the medicinal power in his spirit pill was continuously absorbed into his true qi vortex. At the same time, his entire body's aura instantly spread out!

Feeling Du Fei's suddenly surging aura, the crowd around the stage was stirred up!

"Eighth Rank Peak Martial Master!"

"When did Du Fei become so strong! He is only fifteen years old!"

"No wonder he isn't afraid of Junwu Sect people, with his talent..."

"..."

Ignoring the commotion outside, just as his aura reached its peak, Du Fei's figure suddenly leaped, already in mid-air, and his figure also spun fiercely.

In the instant his figure spun, his right index and middle fingers were pressed together, and coldness instantly spread. Then, he pointed forward in an instant!

"Yin Cold Finger!"

The coldness reached its peak! In the blink of an eye, everything in mid-air, including the energy of heaven and earth, water vapor, and air, instantly froze, forming a huge ice wall that collided fiercely with the lightning wall in front!

"Boom..."

A low rumbling sound instantly echoed, and the extremely powerful qi, centered on the point of contact, exploded outward. The stage, hard as stone, instantly developed cracks like spider webs! Many people quickly gathered their true qi to resist this gale, or they would be swept away and suffer the consequences!

As the cracks spread, a figure was also violently shot back. His feet slid on the stage for a moment before stopping with a jolt, and then he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The onlookers' gazes quickly swept over, and their eyes were filled with extreme shock!

The one who spat blood and retreated was none other than Gu Yun!

"Chh..."

Another figure was also instantly shot back, but unlike Gu Yun, his figure drew several strange arcs in mid-air before landing at the edge of the stage.

Du Fei's cold gaze focused on the scene before him. After a moment, he lightly flicked his hand, his gaze falling on Gu Yun not far away, and he said calmly, "Is this all you've got? You said you held back that day, but now it looks like that's not the case!"

In Du Fei's half-smiling, half-serious words, Gu Yun's expression changed for a moment. After taking a deep breath, he suddenly smiled faintly and said, "It seems I underestimated you. I didn't expect your pill-borrowing method to be so powerful. If I could kill you, I would try to dig this method out of your brain..."

"However, Du Fei, relying on the power of a pill master to win me... you seem a bit weak! Because there's one thing I forgot to tell you: I, Gu Yun, am not strongest in martial arts, but in pills!"

"Since you want to play with pills, I, the young master, will play with pills with you!"

"Blood Pill Method!"

As the words fell, a shocking aura instantly spread from Gu Yun's body, and his entire skin instantly turned red.

However, this time, the redness only paused for a moment before instantly disappearing, replaced by Gu Yun's eyes turning completely red, and a faint red mist seemed to faintly wrap around his body... At this moment, Gu Yun's strength had even touched the edge of Seventh Rank Martial Master!

Inside and outside the arena, countless people's expressions instantly changed!
