Chapter 90: Beyond the Variable

"Stop!"

Below the arena, Long Aotian suddenly seemed to have thought of something and let out a roar, his figure streaking across the air as he rushed towards the scene!

"Ha ha ha—Brother Aotian, I've said it before, anyone who interferes with the duel is against our Liu family. You'd better not go up there!"

On the other side, Liu Ba suddenly laughed out loud, his figure moving as he fiercely slapped a palm towards Long Aotian!

"Liu Ba! You dare!"

"What's there to be afraid of! Others may fear your Long family, but our Liu family does not!"

...

"Don't... don't..." Gu Yun trembled for a moment before whispering.

However, Du Fei behind him did not say any more nonsense, but suddenly turned his finger into a palm, lightly landing it on Gu Yun's back.

"Spit—"

A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out, Gu Yun's figure suddenly trembled, and he fell to the ground, blood gushing from his seven orifices.

"Bang—"

On the other side, Long Aotian had already sent Liu Ba flying with a palm, his figure instantly landing on the arena. The moment his gaze fell on Gu Yun, his expression turned grim.

With his keen eyesight, he could clearly see that Gu Yun's heart meridian had been shattered. No matter how he looked at it, there was no saving him!

Seeing this, Long Aotian's face turned cold, and after a moment, he laughed in anger: "Good! Du Fei! You have guts! To dare kill someone from our Junwu Sect! You will regret it!"

In the face of Long Aotian's words, Du Fei's expression did not change. He smiled faintly and said: "Isn't this Young Master Long Aotian... I didn't expect you to be part of the Junwu Sect... hahaha... Junwu Sect... I understand now..."

His gaze swept the surroundings lightly, and Du Fei continued: "This Gu Yun died in a fair duel with me. Dead is dead... Do you, the Junwu Sect, intend to take revenge for this? If so, wouldn't it mean that in the future, people would just avoid you Junwu Sect members, and there would be no need to fight at all!"

"I don't care! The match was already decided... yet you killed him! Even if I don't say anything, Elder Gu loves his grandson very much. I'm afraid even the Du family of Yunshui can't protect you then!" Long Aotian's tone was icy, speaking coldly.

"Young Master Long," Du Fei suddenly smiled lightly, "We've met before, but why do I feel your aura... is becoming less and less impressive!"

Then, Du Fei's voice gradually lowered, and a sinister tone emerged: "You don't need to be in a hurry. I, Du Fei, said I would destroy your Long family... you don't need to be in a hurry, I will definitely do what I said... and the black-clothed person behind you, I will definitely dig out..."

"As for today, if you want to make a move, I won't stop you... believe me, since I dared to challenge you, even though I don't have the means to kill you, I do have the ability to take you down with me... why don't we try it out?"

Upon hearing this, Long Aotian's face stiffened, and for a moment, it turned extremely ugly.

"Hehehe, Brother Aotian, it's just one Gu Yun dead, not a dog from your family. Is it worth getting so worked up?" As he spoke, Shui Yao lightly tapped his foot and floated onto the arena, landing between the two of them, seemingly intentionally or unintentionally.

"Shui Yao is right, hehe, in this arena duel, Gu Yun has already lost. He brought his own death upon himself, no one can blame him! Even if the Sect Master of Junwu Sect were here, he would have to accept this... Long Aotian, are you being too meddlesome!" On the side, Liu Ba, who had been slapped off the arena by Long Aotian, twisted his body and leaped back onto the arena, forming a pincer with Shui Yao, surrounding Long Aotian.

"Very well! Very well!" Long Aotian's expression changed for a moment, then he suddenly threw his head back and laughed, "Liu Ba, Shui Yao... you know what kind of person Gu Yun is. I don't need to incite anything. As long as the matter is reported as it is, I believe even the five families of Yunshui can't protect you!"

Upon hearing this, Shui Yao smiled faintly and said, "You don't need to threaten us... everyone knows that your Long family and the Junwu Sect are in cahoots... you don't need to use the Junwu Sect to pressure us. If the Junwu Sect were really going to act, the five families of Yunshui wouldn't exist now!"

"Do you really want to protect this Du Fei from the Du family?" Long Aotian's gaze turned cold, and he said lightly.

"We are just here to witness the duel... what happens on the arena, we will handle, but what happens off the arena is none of our business!" Shui Yao smiled faintly, then glanced at Du Fei, whose expression remained unchanged, and said lightly.

"Is that so!" Long Aotian clapped his hands, then his gaze swept the surroundings slowly, his voice cold, "Today's arena duel, the five families of Yunshui will bear witness, Du Fei wins! Gu Yun's death is his own fault! Thus, the duel is over!"

As he spoke, Long Aotian's face turned even colder, his gaze falling back on Du Fei, and he said coldly, "Du Fei! We don't need to talk about today's matter, do we?"

Du Fei looked up at Long Aotian, then smiled and said, "This matter is clear to both of us. If you want to fight me, just do it, why do you need an excuse!?"

"Ha ha ha..." Long Aotian smiled faintly, "After a year, your arrogant nature hasn't changed at all! When I held back that day, it wasn't because I was afraid of you! Du Fei, die!"

As he spoke, Long Aotian's foot slid forward, and he instantly appeared in front of Du Fei, then slowly slapped a palm down.

Seeing this, Shui Yao and Liu Ba exchanged a glance and then stepped back.

One Du Fei was not worth their attention. Since they had completed their promise, they would not meddle further.

For them, giving Du Fei a fair fight was already giving him a lot of face!

On the left side of the arena, Lian Ji and the others saw this and their faces turned slightly joyful.

"Who would have thought Gu Yun would die! And now, someone from the Long family of Yunshui is making a move! This Du Fei is as good as dead!"

On the right side of the arena, Du Zhen Tian, who was about to leap up, suddenly heard a faint voice in his ear: "This matter is beyond your ability to intervene. Step back. Even if Long Aotian is willing, I can't protect your Du family!"

Upon hearing this, Du Zhen Tian's face changed. The difference between Long Aotian and Gu Yun was too great! Gu Yun was just an outer disciple of the Junwu Sect, and even if he offended them, there was still room for reconciliation, as there were countless outer disciples in the Junwu Sect.

But Long Aotian was the young master of the Long family of Yunshui. Offending him meant offending the entire Long family of Yunshui. The gap between the Long family and the Du family was too large. If the Long family used this as an excuse to destroy the Du family, it would be just a matter of a thought!

...

Watching Long Aotian's palm strike down, Du Fei's pupils constricted slightly!

With his current keen eyesight, he could clearly see that Long Aotian had the strength of a Seventh Rank Martial Master. Even if he revealed all his trump cards, he was still no match for him!

But so what?

Sneering inwardly, Du Fei suddenly drew a deep breath, gathering his true energy in an instant, and punched out!

"Bang—"

Palm and fist met, and as expected, Du Fei was sent flying back, spewing blood, and crashed into the edge of the arena.

Even if Du Fei used all his trump cards, he was still no match for Long Aotian, let alone in his current weakened state?

"Fei... I'm sorry..."

Seeing this, Du Zhen Tian's face twitched, and he muttered, "I know that if I intervene, I might save Du Fei, but I am the head of the Du family. I can't abandon the entire Du family for one person."

Even if he did, the Du family of Yunshui wouldn't start
