Immortal Martial Lord

Chapter 41 The Ninth Arena, Dongfang Chen
  Gu Fei, the only remaining disciple of the Cuiling Peak lineage, defeated Li Hao, an outstanding disciple of the Shaoyang Peak lineage. Almost everyone's eyes almost fell to the ground, especially the younger generation among the Nine Taixuan Lineages. The disciples couldn’t believe their eyes.

Many people know that just a year ago, Gu Fei was bullied by Wang Yuanzhi, a disciple of the Tongtian Peak lineage, without even the slightest ability to fight back.

Now, this Gu Fei was completely transformed and easily defeated Li Hao. This result was hard for the disciples of Shaoyang Peak to accept.

Of course, among the younger generation of disciples, there were still a few people who knew Gu Fei's strength, so Zi Yu was not surprised at all that Gu Fei could win.

Dongfang Chen had already listed Gu Fei as one of his strong opponents at this time. Even if he faced Li Hao from Shaoyang Peak, he might not be able to win so easily.

"Congratulations, senior brother, for the victory!" Zhao Zirou paid close attention to the battle between Gu Fei and Li Hao. Gu Fei defeated Li Hao, which surprised her. After Gu Fei jumped off the ring, she came up to him.

"It's your luck!" Gu Fei said indifferently. Although he said so, his eyes showed extremely confident eyes. He thought to himself: Is this a cultivator at the peak of the sixth heaven? !

"Senior Brother Dongfang, look..." In a corner of the square, Wang Yuanzhi and Dongfang Chen stood together, looking at Gu Fei and Zhao Zirou coldly, and Wang Yuanzhi said harshly.

Dongfang Chen snorted coldly and looked at Gu Fei with extremely cold eyes. He was a little surprised that Gu Fei defeated Li Hao, but this was more fun. He wanted to personally end Gu Fei's progress.

"Li Hao is such a waste. He was defeated by Gu Fei." Wang Yuanzhi was filled with hatred. He wished that Li Hao could teach Gu Fei a lesson.

"Well, your own cultivation is not as good as that of Li Hao. He is a waste, so who are you?" Dongfang Chen couldn't help but frown when he heard this and said impatiently. If the Wang family and Dongfang family didn't have some friendship, Dongfang Chen wouldn't stand up for Wang Yuanzhi and mess with someone like Gu Fei.

"This Gu Fei is definitely not simple. If he used to pretend to be a pig and eat the tiger, pretending to be of low cultivation, then this person would be really scary." Dongfang Chen said calmly.

"Pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? This is absolutely impossible." Wang Yuanzhi said in shock. He knew Gu Fei. A year ago, he, Wang Yuanzhi, could easily play with Gu Fei with applause.

"Well!" Dongfang Chen pondered for a moment, and then said: "If this is not the case, then something happened to Gu Fei that we don't know about, and these things are enough to greatly increase his cultivation."

It is no accident that Dongfang Chen can become the second-largest brother in the Taixuan Sect's lineage, second only to his senior brother Li Lingfeng, and sit firmly in the second position among the younger generation of the Nine Lineages of Taixuan Sect. Based on the information revealed by Wang Yuanzhi, he made a close guess about Gu Fei's situation.

"You mean an adventure? Gu Fei got some shitty luck?" If Wang Yuanzhi still didn't understand what Dongfang Chen meant, then he was the number one fool in the world.

"Send someone to check carefully what Gu Fei has been doing and where he has been this year." Dongfang Chen vaguely guessed something and ordered Wang Yuanzhi.

"Yes, Senior Brother Dongfang!" Wang Yuanzhi responded quickly. Now Wang Yuanzhi is willing to do anything that is detrimental to Gu Fei, and he will definitely do it.

With that said, Wang Yuanzhi turned and left to contact the so-called friends he had made at Taixuanmen.

This is the benefit of being a disciple of an aristocratic family. He has a wide network of connections and many friends. Even if he is a dandy, he will definitely be surrounded by gangsters.

Because the disciples of the aristocratic family are backed by the power of the family, what some people really value is not Wang Yuanzhi as a person, but the Wang family behind him.

Just like Dongfang Chen, he has always disapproved of what Wang Yuanzhi did, and he didn't want to have too many interactions with people like Wang Yuanzhi. However, the Wang family and the Dongfang family in Qi's cultivation world are closely related. In this way, Dongfang Chen, even if he hates Wang Yuanzhi, has to stand up for him.

At this time, Gu Fei, who was talking to Zhao Zirou, suddenly seemed to realize something. He suddenly turned his head and looked towards Dongfang Chen. Their eyes instantly collided, causing sparks to appear.

Both of them saw the deep hostility in each other's eyes.

"Hmph! Dongfang Chen, you are doing the stupidest thing by standing up for Wang Yuanzhi." Gu Fei's pupils shrank, and a cold light burst out from the slits in his eyes.

"Gu Fei, don't be too proud, I will trample you under my feet in the ring." A cold smile appeared on Dongfang Chen's face. Facing Gu Fei's sharp, blade-like eyes, he couldn't help but Moved.

There was at least a distance of forty or fifty meters between the two of them. Without speaking, both of them could see in each other's eyes what the other wanted to express.

Suddenly, Dongfang Chen and Gu Fei's hearts surged with a feeling of valuing heroes and cherishing heroes.

"Senior Brother Gu!" Zhao Zirou followed Gu Fei's gaze and spotted Dongfang Chen, and couldn't help but feel something in her heart. It seemed that something was wrong between Dongfang Chen and Senior Brother Gu!
  "Dang!" At this moment, a bell sounded in Taixuan Palace, and Gu Fei and Dongfang Chen withdrew their gazes at the same time. It turned out that the eighty-one younger generation disciples who participated in the Nine Meridians Examination, at this time Their first competition has ended.

When the bell rang, Taoist Xuanfa who was sitting on the steps stood up, and then stepped forward. The younger generation of disciples all faced Taoist Xuanfa who was sitting on the steps in front of the square.

"The first competition is now over. The disciples can temporarily disperse and take a rest. The second competition will be held in the afternoon." Taoist Xuanfa said loudly as he looked around at the disciples in the square below.

Then, Taoist Xuantian and other leaders of the six meridians behind Taoist Xuanfa stood up from their seats, turned around and walked into Taixuan Hall. The first competition of the Nine Meridians Trial has ended. Some of the eighty-one outstanding disciples among the Nine Meridians who participated in the competition are happy and some are sad. The person who wins the first competition is of course a happy person, but the person who loses in the competition will never be happy.

In the first competition, except for Gu Fei's upset victory over Shaoyang Peak's Li Hao, there seemed to be no such good thing as an upset in the other competitions.

There was no suspense. Li Lingfeng, Zi Yu, and Dongfang Chen all easily defeated their opponents and successfully advanced to the next round of competition.

And those disciples who lost also have a chance to advance to the next round of competition. In the second competition in the afternoon, as long as they can win, they can advance to the next round of competition.

Only those disciples who lose in both games will be completely eliminated.

After Zhao Zirou and Gu Fei separated, they returned to the disciples of Zizhu Peak, but Gu Fei was sitting cross-legged under a pine tree in a quiet place outside the square, closing his eyes and relaxing.

In the second match in the afternoon, his opponent was Dongfang Chen. Facing an opponent like Dongfang Chen, Gu Fei did not dare to be careless because he had felt a lot of pressure from Dongfang Chen before.

There are definitely important treasures in the Biyun Peak lineage. If Dongfang Chen uses a powerful magic weapon during the competition, like Zhao Zirou's Xuanwu Seal at Zizhu Peak, it will be difficult for him to defeat Dongfang Chen.

This is the advantage of ascetics. Although their bodies are not as strong as those of warriors, they have the help of magic weapons. By combining Taoism with magic weapons, ascetics can exert their strength beyond their limits.

Therefore, if there is a suitable magic weapon in hand, the attacker's attack power will be doubled. This is a common sense in the cultivation world.

Gu Fei sat under the pine tree, his body's flesh and bones were slowly surging. The five elements of essence were transformed from his flesh and blood, and then gathered in his dantian, forming a colorful ball of light. Then the light ball in his dantian dimmed again, towards the dantian. Waves of five elements of essence spread out and merged into the muscles, bones, flesh and blood.

This cycle went on and on, and rhythmic bursts of light explosions gradually came from his body. Gu Fei's cultivation had reached the point where his marrow could be exchanged for blood. The new energy and blood transformed in the bone marrow were slowly exchanging blood. Replacing the original qi and blood, the new qi and blood contains huge amounts of essence and flows throughout the body, expelling impurities from the body and causing the body to transform.

Gu Fei's skin exposed outside his clothes was flowing with an imperceptible luster, as if there were threads of brilliance flowing under his skin.

Going against the will of heaven, Gu Fei wants to temper his body into a treasure body. Even though he is still far away from the real treasure body, it is undeniable that his body is moving in that direction.

In the distance, many other disciples of the Eight Meridians pointed at Gu Fei under the pine tree. They seemed to be talking about Gu Fei and the battle between Gu Fei and Li Hao just now.

The sound of discussion came to Gu Fei's ears vaguely. Most of these words were negative and not a compliment to Gu Fei. However, whether it was a good comment or a bad comment, Gu Fei They all ignored it and didn't care at all.

Others' words could not shake Gu Fei's mind at all, and they could not affect his state of mind at all. Only by maintaining your original intention and not being disturbed by external things can you move forward courageously on the journey of cultivation.

At this time, after Taoist Xuanfa announced that the competition would be temporarily suspended, temporary tents were quickly set up around the square to provide rest for the disciples of this branch who were participating in the competition.

The disciples who do not participate in the competition cannot harass the disciples who are regulating their energy and nourishing their energy in the tent.

In the first competition, not everyone was like Gu Fei, Li Lingfeng, Dongfang Chen, Zi Yu and others, who defeated their opponents with overwhelming strength as soon as they came on the field. Most people win or lose after a fierce battle with their opponents.

The mana consumed in the competition cannot be recovered without a period of luck adjustment and breathing.

During this period of time, no one bothered Gu Fei. There were two reasons for this. One was that Gu Fei was no longer what he used to be. The strength he showed made the very few people who were hostile to him fearful. ; The second reason is very simple. Today is a major event in Taixuanmen that occurs once every ten years. No one dares to cause trouble in Taixuandian Square.

There are too many eyes watching everything here in the square. If anyone causes trouble, he will never escape from those caring eyes. Therefore, the area around the square was very peaceful. The Nine Meridians disciples only dared to talk in low voices and did not even dare to speak loudly.

The sun passed noon, and then gradually turned westward. Two hours later, a clear bell rang again in Taixuan Hall. Then, Taoist Xuantian, the leader of Taixuan Sect, walked out of Taixuan Hall first. Behind him Follow the seven chiefs of Taixuan Seven Meridians.

Arriving at the steps in front of the palace, Taoist Xuantian and the other heads of the six meridians sat on the seats at the top of the steps, while Taoist Xuanfa, who was presiding over the nine meridians examination, walked straight forward.

"The time has come. I announce that the second competition will begin now!" Although Taoist Xuanfa's words were not very loud, they spread to every corner of the square, even outside Taixuan Peak. Surrounded by mountains.

"Huh?" Gu Fei, who was sitting cross-legged under the pine tree next to the square, opened his eyes, then stood up, and a crackling sound suddenly erupted all over his body.

"The Ninth Arena, Dongfang Chen!" Gu Fei murmured. He shook his muscles and then strode towards the Ninth Arena on the square.
