Sudden change
In the dense forest, Du Fei walked forward slowly, and after a while, he let out a cold laugh and turned his head to look in a certain direction.
There, faint and indistinct wails seemed to come from afar, making one frown slightly.
"It seems those guys didn't just fail to catch up, they've also run into trouble!"
He sneered again and muttered to himself, "Du Fei".
But he frowned and shook his head after a moment.
It's a wonder that anyone can find me in this mysterious and secluded place. And yet, after I've discarded my clothes and nameplate, they still can't find me.
Obviously, someone has tampered with their own things!
But as for who can do such things, Du Fei can figure it out with just a toe.
"It seems that those three old dogs still have a guilty conscience and want my life... However, they shouldn't be foolish enough to continue having connections with the Lian family... So this time, there's also someone from the Du family..." As soon as he thought of this, Du Fei was slightly startled. No matter what, it seemed that his troubles were not few in this mysterious and secluded place.
Dufei took a deep breath and was about to move forward again, but suddenly his whole body shook, and an extremely dangerous feeling surged into his mind.
"It seems that the Thunder Leopard has discovered my trail... As expected, an eighth-grade demon beast is indeed a freak!"
Heaving a sigh in his heart, Du Fei also knew that he couldn't make a move on Ben Lei at this moment. If he were to bring the people of the Lian family here again, he would truly be doomed!
Taking a deep breath, Du Fei cast aside all distracting thoughts. At this moment, he no longer had any reservations. His body accelerated to the extreme in an instant and was no longer disguised as it swiftly darted into the depths of the dense forest.
In such a perilous situation, if it were someone else, they might not be able to withstand the pressure and go crazy. But Du Fei's determination is unimaginable to ordinary people. His only thought was not how to escape, but how to kill those who wanted to deal with him, one by one!
After running for most of the day, the feeling of being closely pursued from behind did not decrease in the slightest, but instead had a feeling of getting closer and closer.
Du Fei's body suddenly stopped in mid-air and landed on a clearing in the dense forest.
That Na Ben Lei was step by step pressing in, hanging far away from himself, clearly having a few points of apprehension about himself, and for the time being did not dare to take direct action.
If you keep running and exhausting your true energy, it will only fulfill its intentions. The best way is to recover your true energy as soon as possible, so that you can catch it off guard.
"Hmm—"
He let out a long sigh, and Du Fei seemed to have forgotten his situation, slowly regulating his breathing. As he cultivated, the air around him suddenly dropped several degrees.
But that distant flying leopard seemed to be unclear about Du Fei's goal for a while, and it just hid in the dense forest without showing up.
Time flew by, and after a while, Du Fei's body shook again, and he stood up once more.
He subconsciously glanced at where Ben Lei was hiding, and with a sudden tap of his toes on the ground, he instantly retreated to the rear.
This time, as Du Fei moved forward, the surroundings around him changed again. The original large forest slowly disappeared, and what appeared in front of his eyes was a rather strange mountain range.
This is exactly where the Mystic Peak is located. It's said that this place is the true center of the Mystic Realm, and the gate of the Mystic Sect is also on top of the Mystic Peak.
However, the Xuan You Peak is fraught with danger, even an eighth-grade warrior going up would be unlikely to return, and over time, this place has become a forbidden land in the Xuan You Secret Realm. Unless one is extremely confident, ordinary people would not dare to come here to seek death.
With Du Fei's strength, if he were to climb the Mystic Void Peak, it would be no different from sending himself to his death!
At this thought, Du Fei's face suddenly changed, and he immediately turned around and walked away.
"Cuckoo!"
At this moment, the Thunder Leopard seemed to have sensed that Du Fei had no way out. It walked slowly out of the dense forest, its dark blue eyes fixed on Du Fei's body, and an extremely fierce aura emanated from it.
Du Fei slowly took a deep breath, and in his heart, he already understood that when he was regulating his breathing earlier, it wasn't that the Thunder Beast didn't dare to come up, but rather it was afraid that he still had a way out. Now that it realized he had no way out, it appeared like this, which meant it no longer intended to let him go.
The ferocious beast's power is astonishing, and if it sets its mind on you, it's a hopeless situation.
A strange smile slowly emerged on his face, and the Thunder Leopard swaggered towards Du Fei, with an expression that completely disregarded Du.
Du Fei's face changed for a moment, his foot stomped heavily on the ground, and his body suddenly burst out in an instant, retreating to one side.
"Hmmph!"
A loud peal of thunder, a burst of lightning-like aura shot out from the original spot, and in an instant, it exploded with a deafening crash, barely missing Du Fei's side, and instantly cleaving a large, charred pit on the ground.
His face turned pale and retreated to one side, Du Fei also didn't know what feeling was in his heart.
It wasn't until this moment that he truly understood. Even before, the demon beast hadn't used even a tenth of its actual strength, treating itself as a plaything. Now, with the demon beast unleashing its true power, even if he could use his Dan technique, it was uncertain whether he would be its match!
As soon as he thought of this, Du Fei already understood that he had no chance of winning. He pointed his toes and retreated towards the Xuan You Peak behind him without looking back!
No matter how dangerous Xuan You Peak is, there's always a glimmer of hope. However, if I stay here, it's basically a dead end!
That Na Ben Lei seemed to have also underestimated Du Fei's courage, and didn't expect him to dare climb the Xuan You Peak.
It suddenly opened its mouth and let out a low growl, with a surge of eerie energy emanating from all over its body. With a sudden burst of speed, it leapt forward tens of meters, leaving behind a trail of charred grass and trees wherever it passed.
In just a flash of lightning, the Thunder Leopard had caught up to Du Fei and immediately opened its mouth wide, biting down towards his head.
If this mouth is really implemented, then I will be dead without a whole body.
Du Fei's whole body shook, his figure suddenly flashed and retreated rapidly to the rear, his speed was so fast that it seemed like a residual shadow.
At this moment, the subtlety of breaking through the void with a single strike that can reach thousands of miles away is being fully utilized by him.
"Roar——"
Another low growl, the Thunder Beast's body shape flashed forward half a step, its mouth already wide open and ready to bite Du Fei. This time, Du Fei's body shape was unable to move any faster, and he could only desperately condense a thread of true energy, his right hand suddenly striking down.
"Boom——"
Before the blow landed, the sprinting Thunder Pounce in mid-air suddenly shook violently. Its originally extremely fast speed almost came to a halt in an instant. A look of shock and fear appeared on its human-like face.
Before he could react, Du Fei's finger had already landed on his body.
A streak of unbelievable color flashed through the eyes of the Thunder Leopard, its pupils dimming instantly, and then its massive body suddenly turned into an ice block in mid-air, before heavily smashing onto the ground.
"Ding——"
The solid flesh instantly turned into several pieces along with the ice, and Du Fei was also shocked, his body suddenly stopped, and his eyes fell on the corpse of Ben Lei.
He was well aware that his move could at most hinder the Thunder Leopard for half a second, but to hurt it would be extremely difficult. However, at this moment, the Thunder Leopard had died so easily in his hands, and no matter how he looked at it, it was a mysterious death.
"What is so strange about this Mystic Peak?"
He slowly took a deep breath, and this idea kept echoing in Du Fei's mind.
I couldn't kill Ben Lei's Taoist nun, but she's dead now. The biggest reason is probably this Xuan You Peak.
After all, this Mystic Peak was listed as a forbidden land, probably not without reason.
Du Fei pondered for a moment, and for a while, he only felt a chill all over his body. With the strength of Ben Lei's Jiao, he would die inexplicably on this Mystic Peak, let alone himself.
"Hmm..."
After a moment of contemplation, Du Fei only felt a blackness in front of his eyes, and he almost fainted onto the ground. He struggled to stand up straight, and his mind had already come to a realization.
"Poison in the air!"
As soon as he thought of this, Du Fei's breathing suddenly stopped, and he began to breathe slowly. However, at this moment, he found that although the true energy in his body still existed, no matter what, he couldn't mobilize even half a bit of it.
"So that's how it is, the air on Xuan You Peak is toxic. This toxin prevents people from mobilizing their internal Qi, and for the most part, the higher one's cultivation, the faster this toxin takes effect. That Thunder Leopard just now was probably instantly poisoned; if I hadn't died, it would have been me!"
Having thought this through, Du Fei's heart was slightly more at ease.
He first gave Xiao Bai the command to analyze the air and find a solution, then slowly walked up to Ben Lei's body, his gaze sweeping back and forth.
A demonic beast's body is said to have a place where its demonic energy converges, which is the location of its demonic crystal within its body.
This demon crystal is to the demon beast what the dantian qihai is to humans. However, unlike humans, even if the demon beast dies, its demonic energy will not disperse but continue to exist within the demon crystal.
The demon crystal fell into human hands, and its effect was enormous. Whether it was used for forging or alchemy, it had a great use.
Moreover, it is difficult to hunt down demonic beasts, and the value of demonic crystals is usually extremely high.
So, for this Thunder Beast, Du Fei didn't show any courtesy at all. After hesitating for a moment, he took out a dagger and shattered the ice block, then picked out a thumb-sized purple crystal from its brain.
As for other parts of it, due to the relationship with Xuan Yin, there is no longer much use.
He casually stuffed the crystal into his own container ring, and Du Fei took a deep breath before slowly scanning his surroundings.
