Chapter 138: Fierce Sun Pure Steel

  "...Clank..." A sound of iron chains dragging on the ground came from afar and approached Du Fei's ears. At this moment, Du Fei's expression was extremely solemn. The several mournful cries he had heard earlier were definitely made by those giant pythons, which had caused him a lot of trouble. If not for his good luck, he might have already become their food. However, the giant pythons didn't go far before they let out mournful cries, and Du Fei's instincts told him that something even more powerful must have killed them. If that was true, then the person who attacked the giant pythons must be extremely formidable. What worried Du Fei the most was that the thing attacking the giant pythons was getting closer and closer to him.

  "Haha, little kid, it's you, I didn't expect to run into you here." A hoarse laugh came from the dense forest not far from Du Fei. Du Fei also heard the laughter and had a serious expression. With a panicked look on his face, he said: "Are you that Iron Chain Man?" Just as Du Fei finished speaking, a tattered figure appeared in front of him, but his face was covered by a hood. The newcomer's limbs were all locked up with iron chains.

  "Hahaha... I didn't expect that after half a year of not seeing each other, you still remember me." The newcomer laughed again in his hoarse and low voice, and at the same time took off the helmet on his head. Du Fei took a closer look, and it was indeed the iron chain man who had attacked him that day, also known as Dugu Zhao Lie, whom Dean and Yuan Lang had seen that day. However, Du Fei didn't know this. Dugu Zhao Lie's eyes, like those of a wild beast, made Du Fei feel a chill run down his spine, and a sense of death arose spontaneously.

  Seeing Dugu Zhao Lie take down his own Dou, he revealed a ferocious smile. Du Fei swallowed hard and asked in a calm tone: "Is it you? How did you end up here? What do you want to do?" At the same time, Du Fei also concentrated all his attention, looking for an opportunity to escape.

  "Haha, you little brat, how ridiculous! Do I need to ask? Last time you ran away with your tail between your legs. Do you think I'll let you off the hook this time?" Dugu Zhāo Liè sneered greedily.

  "Don't come over here, I'm not the kid you bullied anymore. If I hurt you later on, don't say it hurts." Du Fei said, suppressing the panic in his heart.

  "Hahaha..." Dugu Zhāo Liè heard Du Fei's words and burst out laughing, suddenly swinging his right hand's iron chain to strike at Du Fei. Du Fei saw the incoming chain and immediately summoned a silver snowflake on his hand to deflect it. A loud "clang" echoed through the air as Dugu Zhāo Liè's attack hit the silver snowflake and bounced back, but Du Fei was still knocked back several steps before regaining his footing. Fortunately, the silver snowflake's material was sturdy enough, or else Du Fei's weapon would have been damaged once again. However, a deep dent had appeared on the surface of the silver snowflake, which also showed signs of warping, all thanks to Dugu Zhāo Liè's powerful attack.

  "Haha, you little kid, so arrogant and daring to speak to me like that. But it's been half a year now, and I haven't seen your strength increase much." Dugu Zhāo Liè looked at Du Fei with disdain. After finishing speaking, he once again raised the iron chain in his hand and struck at Du Fei. Du Fei saw Dugu Zhāo Liè's iron chain coming at him in a flurry of attacks, and he continuously used Cì Xue to block the chain's assault, "Clang clang clang..." The sound of metal striking echoed out from the cliffside.

  Seeing his own hand-held silver snow being smashed by Dugu Zhōulì's iron chain, Du Fei also gritted his teeth and jumped up. Dugu Zhōulì saw Du Fei jump up and followed suit, swinging the iron chain horizontally at Du Fei. Du Fei saw Dugu Zhōulì jump up and threw the silver snow in his hand at Dugu Zhōulì. Dugu Zhōulì changed his target after seeing the silver snow thrown by Du Fei and swung the iron chain at it, hitting it with a loud "clang" sound, sending the silver snow flying tens of meters away. The silver snow broke into several pieces after being hit.

  However, this move gave Du Fei an opening. His arms had transformed into a golden color, and he staked everything on unleashing his Fú Mó Jīn Gāng transformation. With the divine effect of the Golden Dragon Claw, Du Fei's Fú Mó Jīn Gāng was now even more powerful.

  Just as Dugu Zhōulì had opened up the silver snow, Du Fei charged towards him. Dugu Zhōulì saw Du Fei's transformation and revealed an astonished expression, exclaiming: "This is...". However, before he could finish speaking, Du Fei's fist had already landed within three feet of Dugu Zhōulì.

  Dugu Zhōulì quickly reacted and crossed his arms to block the incoming punch. A loud "clang" sound echoed as Dugu Zhōulì felt a slight numbness in his arms. However, before he could catch his breath, Du Fei's other fist attacked again. Dugu Zhōulì could only block Du Fei's attack once more.

  Du Fei's first punch was just an opening move, and all his strength was concentrated on the second punch. Another loud "clang" sound echoed as the second punch landed. The force of this punch was unknown times stronger than the first one. Although Du Fei had hit Dugu Zhōulì's iron lock on his wrist, due to the immense power, the second punch sent Dugu Zhōulì flying over a hundred meters away.

  When Dugu Zhāo Liè was knocked flying by himself, Du Fei also quickly took out the Wordless Heavenly Book. As soon as the Wordless Heavenly Book appeared, a space vortex suddenly appeared around Du Fei, and he quickly rushed in. The space vortex disappeared instantly, and it only took a few breaths. Du Fei had just smiled, when Dugu Zhāo Liè suddenly rushed to where Du Fei had disappeared, his eyes were bloodshot as he looked around, but Du Fei had already vanished without a trace. Enraged, Dugu Zhāo Liè shouted: "Ah... you little devil, I must kill you!" After a while, Dugu Zhāo Liè finally calmed down a bit, but his face still showed unwillingness and anger, and his hands were shaking uncontrollably.

  "Haha, old man Dugu, I didn't think you'd fall to a little ghost like that!" A burst of laughter echoed through the sky, filled with mockery and ridicule. Upon hearing the laughter, Dugu Zhuo Lie's anger intensified, but he didn't lift his head. Instead, his right hand transformed into a claw shape, and a stone block was instantly drawn into his palm. Without even looking, Dugu Zhuo Lie threw the stone block at the source of the laughter in the sky. The stone block shot out with incredible speed, like a meteor streaking across the sky. With a loud "crash", the stone block shattered on a thick and sturdy palm. The person who caught it was none other than Yuan Gong, the ape-like man. At the same time, the principal stood beside Yuan Gong, but he didn't mock Dugu Zhuo Lie.

  "You old fellow, are you thinking of starting a fight?" The ape glared at Dugu Zhōngliè below. At this time, the two slowly descended to Dugu Zhōngliè's side.

  "Just now that little guy used a martial skill, I think you two also saw what it was?" Du Guo Zhuo Lie said with his back to the two.

  "I know." The principal said calmly.

  "Who would have thought that at such a young age, he already possesses such talent and cultivation. And even more unexpected is that it would be one of your people... Ahahahaha..." Dugu Zhuolei suddenly burst out laughing, but it was unclear what exactly he was laughing about. At the same time, amidst his laughter, Dugu Zhuolei vanished from the two's line of sight, disappearing to who-knows-where.

  Inside Tianzhu Brook

  "Hah...hah..." Du Fei was now on the ground, gasping violently as if he had just finished a fierce typing session. The Fumo Golden Fist he used earlier had consumed almost all of his internal energy, and fortunately, Du Fei had managed to narrowly escape. If not, no one would have known what situation Du Fei would be in by now. Although Du Fei looked quite wretched at the moment, at least he was no longer in danger of losing his life.

  After panting for a long time, Du Fei finally regained some energy and sat on the ground, staring at the wordless heavenly book and said: "Today was close, didn't expect to run into that old guy again."

  "It's a good thing you're lucky, if it wasn't for the Golden Dragon's help, I'm afraid you'd have been killed by that old man by now." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Alas, what a pity! I had just cast it and hadn't even had time to admire the silver snow when that old fellow damaged it." Du Fei said with some disappointment.

  "What's so regrettable about your broken sword? Didn't you notice anything strange today?" asked the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "What a strange place, Golden Dragon Claw?" Du Fei said as he waved the Golden Dragon Claw in his hand in front of the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Who told you this, think carefully if there's anything worth paying attention to?" the wordless heavenly book wrote. Du Fei saw that the words on the wordless heavenly book were also a hand stroking its chin and began to ponder, but no matter how hard he thought for half a day, he couldn't come up with anything. He anxiously asked: "Hey, you're the one who said it, don't leave me hanging?"

  "You fool, think carefully, what material is that broken knife of yours made of?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "What's wrong with silver steel and rare materials?" Du Fei asked with a puzzled face.

  "Then think about what has damaged your sword?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "That guy's chain!" Du Fei muttered to himself. Suddenly, he exclaimed in surprise: "Ah, right! I would have forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. That guy's chain seems particularly formidable - last time, it broke my Zhi Zhuo knife with just one strike. And this time, Xue Yin didn't last long either when she was in his hands. You mean to say that the chain in his hand is not ordinary."

  The font on the Wordless Heavenly Book changed rapidly, and Du Fei looked at it with a surprised expression: "That's right, if I'm not mistaken, the material of that iron chain should be the top-notch mineral material, ranked fifth in the Mineral Ranking List - (Liyang Pure Steel)."
