First Encounter

  "It's started! This time, not only do we have to kill Du Fei, but also get our hands on the top prize." On the giant screen, Lian Huang glanced at the rapidly surging crowd and smiled faintly.

  "This is natural." Behind him, Lian Xiao and Lian Xing also showed a hint of a meaningful smile.

  Upon hearing this, Lian Huan let out a light laugh and his toes tapped the ground fiercely. His body instantly shot forward like a wild gust of wind. Behind him, Lian Hao and Lian Xing also quickly followed, almost within a few breaths, the three had already flown over the top of the crowd's heads and landed at the front of the crowd.

  This scene made the surging crowd behind them slightly stunned, and the means shown by the three members of the family were quite shocking.

  It seems that he also clearly showed the power of his move, which was shocking to everyone's heart. Even Lianhu and his group couldn't help but sneer, and immediately followed Lianhu, who took the lead again, tapping his toes once more before charging fiercely into the valley.

  "You think you can be the first to enter? You don't even have the qualifications for that!"

  Just as Lian Huan was about to rush into the valley, a faint voice slowly sounded, and immediately a figure flashed over Lian Huan's head like lightning. The person's toes deliberately stepped on Lian Huan's head before quickly rushing into the valley.

  The sudden movement of this person made Lian Huang shocked and then furious! What kind of person is this who doesn't know what's good for them?!

  He let out a low hum, and Lian Huang didn't say any more unnecessary words. His hands quickly formed a seal, and immediately his right palm rapidly slapped out in succession. In an instant, a red shadow flew down like a fiery mist.

  "Hmm—"

  In response to Lian Huan's attack, the figure didn't have any other reaction, but his body suddenly turned around in mid-air, and his right hand quickly spun up, a formless gust of wind violently striking out, just hitting that wave of flames.

  "Hmm——"

  A dull thud, and contrary to the expectations of many, the two continued to exchange blows. Meanwhile, that figure had taken advantage of the shockwave from their battle to swiftly move its body, vanishing into the valley like a ghostly shadow.

  Seeing this behavior, Lian Hua's face suddenly darkened. His gaze met with Lian Hua and Lian Xing for a brief moment, and the three of them instantly looked extremely ugly. Then, their figures almost simultaneously darted forward!

  "Cut! If they didn't fight back, and all three of them were killed by someone here, wouldn't that increase my chances of winning!"

  "I don't even know what that figure was just now, but it seems to have a huge grudge against the Lian family!"

  "Could it be that kid from the Du family?"

  Before the words were finished, these people had quickly slipped into the valley. After all, there are many benefits in this mysterious and secluded realm. Whoever comes first may get some benefits first.

  No matter who it is, no one wants to be taken advantage of by others.

  The entrance to the mysterious and secluded realm was a rather vast canyon. Although the mist in the canyon had dissipated somewhat, it still only allowed one to see clearly for tens of meters around them. As for further away, it was all just a blur.

  It's still this specific time, if it were usual times, in this mysterious and secluded place, I estimate that you can't even see a place one meter away.

  The first one who entered the mysterious and secluded realm was Du Fei. At this moment, his line of sight slowly swept around him, and after a while, he suddenly turned towards the back.

  "Are you the three core disciples of the Lian family? Since you're here, there's no need to leave!" With a faint cold smile, Du Fei's foot stomped fiercely, and his figure burst out in an instant.

  Almost at the same time, three figures had already slipped into the valley. Then, the person who came first let out a cold breath: "It's you!"

  They never thought that Du Fei not only didn't escape directly but also prepared a head-on blow for the three of them from the very beginning.

  "Three of you go well! No need to see you off on the road to the Yellow Springs!"

  Haha, after a burst of laughter, Du Fei's figure suddenly spun in mid-air, his legs already linked together, and instantly several ice blades cut out, the cold air contained in the ice blades almost instantly freezing the surrounding mist.

  "Du Fei, you indeed have some skills, but thinking that this would make you our opponent is quite an overestimation!" Astonishment flashed across his face for a moment, but Lian Huang had already sneered and clapped his hands together. A long spear with condensed flames appeared in his hand, and immediately, he forcefully thrust it upwards, opening up the several layers of ice blades that were pressing down on him.

  "Clang Clang Clang——"

  The ice blade that had been torn apart instantly fell into the dense forest around, and it was unknown how many trees with a diameter of as much as a bowl were cut down. Finally, it landed heavily on the ground, splashing up a piece of ice and snow.

  Seeing his attack miss, Du Fei didn't say much and suddenly stiffened in mid-air, transforming into three residual shadows that charged violently towards the three people.

  Facing Du Fei's relentless fighting style, Lian Huang and the other two exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with shock.

  They never thought that before they even made a move, their opponents were already planning to wipe out all three of them!

  "No need to hold back! As long as we can kill Du Fei, even if we lose the tournament, it doesn't matter!" Lian Huang gave a cold snort and quickly issued an order.

  "Yes!"

  Lian Hao and Lian Xing both nodded slightly, then the three of them almost simultaneously stomped their feet on the ground, and in an instant, a wave of fiery red true energy enveloped all three of them.

  Upon witnessing this scene, Du Fei's face also turned cold, and the three clones were instantly enveloped in icy Heart Fighting Qi. Immediately afterwards, the six figures collided with each other.

  "Boom——"

  A dull, deafening sound spread rapidly, the aftershocks of the explosion dispersing the surrounding fog. At the epicenter of the blast, countless trees were uprooted and toppled to the ground, while the ground itself was a vast expanse of black ice, looking eerie and ominous.

  At this moment, the struggle between the two has attracted the attention of others who have entered the Xuan You Secret Realm. They flew over quickly one by one, and after seeing this scene, they all slightly gasped in surprise.

  These people could naturally see that the person who made the move was a martial artist, but they couldn't tell what level he was.

  It wasn't until later that people realized one of the three members of Lianjia was actually a master, and many people had suspicions about those who had fought against him.

  "What a pity!" Du Fei sighed in his heart, the three people just now had no preparation at all, and under his sneak attack, they were unscathed. Doesn't that mean that if he really started fighting, he would probably not have any advantage? This family has indeed produced some abnormal characters!

  At this thought, Du Fei did have some regrets. Earlier, he hadn't focused his firepower to kill one of them first. However, now that things had come to this, regret was useless.

  After taking a slight breath, Du Fei shook off the distracting thoughts in his mind and cast an indifferent gaze at Lian Huan and the other three. He sneered coldly, saying: "Within a month, you can cultivate the Flowing Flame Technique to this level? Lian Zhen is even more useless than you guys!"

  "Being able to kill me, Lian Jia's number one, and escape unscathed, you are indeed famous for a reason......" Lian Huan also calmed down at this moment, his gaze slowly swept across Du Fei's body, and after a moment, he smiled lightly and said: "Young Master Du Fei, it's truly one encounter that surpasses a hundred hearsays!"

  As soon as this statement came out, the people around them all took a deep breath. They had all heard of Du Fei's name, but they didn't expect that Du Fei was actually so powerful that he could single-handedly resist the three members of the Lian family!

  As expected, you're a pervert!

  Up to this point, those who had some doubts about Du Fei's affairs have all been convinced. If it was just a rumor before, then the strength he showed when facing the three members of the Lian family alone is something that no one can ignore!

  For the strange and curious glances around him, Du Fei didn't pay much attention. He just lightly patted his hand and smiled faintly, saying: "Since you know me, I suppose it's Lian Huan, Lian Hao, and Lian Xing... Lian Ji wanting to use you three to turn the tables, this idea isn't bad at all. Any one of you is stronger than Lian Zhen. If you had appeared at the banquet that day, it would have been better... Unfortunately... unfortunately..."

  "What a pity we didn't kill you?" Lian Huan stared straight at Du Fei, seeming to see the playful glint in his eyes. He snorted and said coldly.

  "No, unfortunately, you three weren't present. Otherwise, I would have struck you down at the first opportunity... I'm a person who likes to cut weeds and eradicate them from the root. What I dislike most is raising tigers that will eventually harm me... What's even more unfortunate is that just now, I was thinking of taking your lives, and if my appetite wasn't so big, one of you should have already descended into the underworld!" Du Fei lightly clapped his hands before speaking in a bland tone. Although there were no sarcastic words, the flavor of his speech made the expressions on the faces of the three members of the Lian family extremely unsightly.

  "Du Fei, do you really think we're not your match?" Lian Huan gritted his teeth and said in a low voice.

  "Three of you together, I am not your opponent. One by one, I will kill you like killing a dog!" Du Fei sneered, speaking bluntly!

  "So that's it! I'm going to kill you right here and now!" Lian Hao was furious, his face twisted in a mixture of anger and laughter as he glared at Du Fei.

  "Hehe, no rush, no rush." Du Fei smiled lightly. "If we make a move now, nobody will benefit from it and only those outsiders watching will get a good show... When the opportunity arises, between us, only one side can leave this secret realm alive, I think you all understand that very clearly!" As soon as he finished speaking, Du Fei let out a hearty laugh, his body suddenly leaping off the ground like a ghost and flashing towards the depths of the mysterious realm.

  Seeing this, Lian Huan and the other two men were so angry that their teeth itched, but they didn't say anything more. They just flicked their sleeves and instantly headed in another direction.

  For this scene, the onlookers all let out a rather regretful sigh and quickly dispersed.

  After all, one less opponent is one less good!
