Chapter 59

On the third platform, Gu Fei and Zi Yu stood facing each other. Zi Yu, with his slender frame, seemed to give off a light and airy feeling, as if he could be carried away by the wind at any moment.

His handsome face, almost demonic in beauty, wore a faint smile, like the Buddha holding a flower, exuding an otherworldly charm.

"Zi Yu!" Gu Fei looked at his opponent with a serious expression, his eyes narrowing into slits. He was not swayed by Zi Yu's appearance. In the calm and composed moment, his sharp spiritual senses detected a well-concealed pressure emanating from Zi Yu.

Indeed, this graceful young man made Gu Fei feel pressured.

"Junior Brother Gu, please guide me!" Zi Yu flipped his right hand, and a branch of a seven-leafed tree, as green as jade and as clear as the finest jade, appeared in his hand.

This was a magical treasure forged from a branch of a heavenly spirit root. The moment Gu Fei saw the branch in Zi Yu's hand, which radiated a massive amount of wood energy, his pupils constricted, and his eyes flashed with intense light.

Gu Fei had already heard that yesterday, Zi Yu had used a branch to knock away the heavy treasure, the Black Tortoise Seal, of the Purple Bamboo Peak lineage, defeating Zhao Zirou.

"I dare not!" Gu Fei bowed and then took a step forward. A powerful aura swept out from him with that single step, his hair moving without wind, and his clothes flapping loudly from the surging energy around him.

The third platform was undoubtedly one of the most eye-catching spots in the square. All the disciples were watching, eager to see if Gu Fei's undefeated streak would continue or if Zi Yu would end his unbeaten record since the Nine Lineages Trial.

Wang Yuanzhi, a disciple of the Great Void Peak lineage who had a deep-seated grudge against Gu Fei, was also among the spectators. He glared at the figure on the platform, who seemed to have transformed into a war god, radiating a powerful oppressive aura, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

He was here to watch the show, to see Gu Fei humiliated, to see Gu Fei defeated!

In the Great Profound Sect, the only person who had conflicts and friction with Gu Fei was Wang Yuanzhi, the narrow-minded disciple of a noble family. He was the only one who sincerely hoped for Gu Fei's defeat.

However, most people were watching with intense curiosity, wondering who would win between Gu Fei and Zi Yu. The most excited group of people below the platform were the young disciples of the Great Profound Peak lineage.

The disciples of the Great Profound Peak lineage were divided into two groups. One group was cheering for Zi Yu at the third platform, while the other was cheering for Li Lingfeng at the first platform.

A smaller group was cheering for the other two outstanding disciples of the Great Profound Peak lineage who had advanced. It must be said that among the young disciples of the Great Profound Peak lineage, there were no shortage of remarkable individuals.

Among the nine lineages, the Great Profound Peak lineage had four people who had advanced through the rounds to the final competition, which was a testament to the extraordinary nature of the Great Profound Peak lineage.

Among those watching the match, one person was particularly worried about Gu Fei on the platform. This person was a stunningly beautiful young woman.

Zhao Zirou. She was well aware of Zi Yu's terrifying strength. With Zi Yu's abilities and the spirit branch in his hand, he was almost unbeatable among his peers.

The moment Gu Fei took a step forward, Zi Yu moved. The powerful oppressive aura emanating from Gu Fei made him uncomfortable.

"Swish!" A green shadow flickered in his hand, and a misty green light immediately surged from the seven-leafed spirit branch, overwhelming Gu Fei like a tidal wave.

It was the purest essence of wood energy. In the misty green light, countless tree shadows appeared, like an endless forest of towering green trees, pressing towards Gu Fei.

"Wood energy?" Gu Fei was extremely familiar with the essence of the five elements, as he cultivated the Body Refinement Technique, which generated his life essence from his flesh and blood, the essence of the human body's five elements.

However, his five elements' essence was derived from his body's flesh and blood, transforming essence into energy, which was different from the five elements' energy of the great universe.

"Among the five elements, metal overcomes wood. I will use the Metal Fist to break your Daoist technique!" With that, Gu Fei, who had been preparing for a long time, unleashed a lightning-fast punch. A powerful gale surged from his right fist, and golden light, like sharp golden blades, swept forward, unstoppable and overwhelming.

The Metal Fist energy that Gu Fei unleashed seemed to transform into a tangible golden storm, colliding with the countless towering trees surging towards him.

This was a massive collision, a clash between wood energy and Metal Fist energy. The golden gale clashed with the layers of green trees! The entire platform shook violently from the explosive force, and all the spectators below quickly retreated.

It was as if a brilliant golden sun had exploded in a green storm. Gu Fei, enveloped in a fiery golden aura, charged into the countless tree shadows, swinging his fists with incredible ferocity.

The powerful fist energy, like golden celestial blades, shattered the countless tree shadows, turning them back into a misty green light.

Seeing this, Zi Yu was greatly alarmed and continuously flicked the seven-leafed treasure branch in his hand, unleashing layers of green light, transforming into countless purple trees, launching wave after wave of intense attacks on Gu Fei.

The surging green divine light from the seven-leafed treasure branch completely surrounded and sealed Gu Fei.

"Ten Thousand Purple Trees!" Zi Yu shouted, forming a Daoist seal and channeling pure magical power into the seven-leafed treasure branch. In the rolling green light, the towering trees seemed to transform into tangible, real trees, emitting an unprecedentedly powerful magical energy, surging towards Gu Fei with the force of a thousand pounds.

However, under the overwhelming wood energy, Gu Fei displayed incomparable strength. Each punch shattered a section of the towering trees, and he steadily advanced step by step towards Zi Yu.

"Bang!" Gu Fei reached Zi Yu and punched directly at the seven-leafed treasure branch in his hand. The powerful Metal Fist energy made the branch flash with green light, nearly causing it to fly out of Zi Yu's hand.

Gu Fei was incredibly formidable, his long hair dancing wildly, like a reborn war god, directly using his flesh and blood to contend with the powerful magical treasure. It was truly insane.

When he punched the treasure branch, the countless trees surrounding Gu Fei instantly disappeared, vanishing into the void. At the same time, Zi Yu was greatly impacted, losing his balance and retreating several steps.

When Gu Fei punched the seven-leafed treasure branch, he also felt a sharp pain in his fist, as if he had punched a piece of extremely hard steel, numbing his hand.

The treasure branch, indeed a precious treasure of the Great Profound Peak lineage, forged from a branch of a heavenly spirit root, forced Gu Fei back with a powerful surge of wood energy when he struck it.

The Great Profound Sect disciples watching below were stunned by the brief but intense clash between Gu Fei and Zi Yu, their eyes wide with shock.

Everyone was amazed. Gu Fei was truly insane, using his flesh and blood to contend with a magical treasure. Only a fool would do such a thing.

But was Gu Fei a fool? Gu Fei was not a fool. He had immense confidence, believing that with his powerful physical strength and combat skills, he could contend with the magical treasures of his peers.
