Chapter 63: A Duel

  Du Fei was also being extremely cautious, crouching on the rooftop and looking around for any signs of movement. However, after a while, he didn't discover anything and stood up, muttering to himself: "That's strange, I clearly heard a sound just now, but it's gone in an instant. Could that guy have flown away? It can't be that Kongyuan Master is here."

  At the time when Du Fei was in a daze, a rough voice suddenly came out: "Thief, I see where you can escape." As soon as Du Fei heard this loud voice, his face couldn't help but sink. The speaker was none other than the middle-aged man who had argued with him at the inn that day. At this time, the middle-aged man was still wearing the same outfit as he was during the day, standing not far from Du Fei, glaring at him angrily. Because of Kong Yuan's eyesight being clearer than ordinary people in the evening, both men were now staring at each other angrily.

  Du Fei also loudly scolded the middle-aged man: "I think you're the thief, what are you doing on the roof so late? I'm out here to catch thieves, don't wrongly accuse people."

  "You still want to quibble? I just heard the sound of tiles on the roof from inside the room, quickly came up to the roof, and didn't expect to see you as soon as I got here. Besides you, I haven't seen anyone else. Who else could it be if not you?" the middle-aged man scolded.

  "I'm too lazy to explain to you, I didn't come up here to catch thieves, it's just that I moved a bit faster than you and got on the roof first. Who knew that as soon as I came up, I'd run into this old dog making a racket here?" Du Fei looked at the middle-aged man with disdain.

  "You little brat, I was going to let you off the hook for what happened during the day, but now that we're in a place like this, it's perfect timing for me to teach you a lesson." The middle-aged man rolled up his sleeves and made a gesture as if ready to fight.

  Du Fei saw the middle-aged man preparing to take action, and his heart also sank: "Damn it, not good, almost forgot that this old guy is a high-ranking master of the Fusion Soul Realm. Your grandfather's, go all out, follow the old mixed hair to fight." Du Fei also didn't dare show weakness, making the same move as the middle-aged man, and said in his mouth: "Who's afraid of you, fight if you want, I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting."

  "You just wait and see how you'll get beaten up, let's see what kind of skills you have." The middle-aged man said with a disdainful expression.

  "Hmph, old mixed hair, don't think that just because your cultivation is stronger than mine, I'll be afraid of you. I'm not someone to be trifled with either." Du Fei said, already prepared and standing in place.

  The middle-aged man was shocked by Du Fei's words and thought to himself: "Could it be that this guy knows I'm a Kongyuan Master? No way, even if he is a Kongyuan Master, there's no way he could tell that I'm one too. His strength can't possibly surpass mine... and what's even stranger is that this little devil's aura doesn't seem any different from an ordinary person."

  The middle-aged man pondered for a moment before suddenly asking: "So you're saying you're also a Kongyuan Master? I always thought you were just an ordinary ***, didn't expect you to be a Kongyuan Master too. Well, let's see how strong your abilities are." As he spoke, the middle-aged man gestured with his hand for Du Fei to attack first.

  Du Fei saw the middle-aged man waving his hand, asking him to attack first, and also felt a surge of anger: "How can you make me move first? Why don't you come first, I'll let you go first." Du Fei also imitated the middle-aged man's movements, facing the middle-aged man.

  A middle-aged man saw Du Fei's actions and also felt a bit uncomfortable, saying: "Little kid, I'll see how strong you are today. It's best for you to admit your mistake, otherwise, when the time comes, you won't even know if you're killed by my own hands or not." Du Fei heard the middle-aged man's words and also felt a bit uncomfortable, saying: "I don't need you to care about me, just come at me. What level are you? I'll beat you up anyway." In fact, when Du Fei said this, he didn't have much confidence in his heart, but he didn't want to be looked down upon either, so he had to say it. Besides, Du Fei still had the Wujizhishu registration on him, and if there was any danger later, he could just take out the Wujizhishu to escape.

  "Hey, I didn't think you still had such a strong spirit! When the time comes, I'll try to see just how formidable you are. Alright, I'll control my strength to the fifth level of Yuan Condensation and fight you. I think your strength is about at this level too." The middle-aged man had actually seen through Du Fei's exceptional physique long ago, and thinking that Du Fei's talent was certainly not bad, he looked at Du Fei's appearance, which seemed to be around 17 or 18 years old. According to the usual calculation method, he determined that Du Fei belonged to the category of superior strength, so he would compress his own cultivation to appear to be at the third level of Yuan Condensation. However, he also knew that Du Fei had only been cultivating for three years since entering the Yuan Boundary, and was now only 15 years old.

  Du Fei heard the middle-aged man's neither agreement nor opposition, and had already made preparations for battle. Just as he was about to make a move, the middle-aged man raised his hand to signal Du Fei to stop, and Du Fei also spoke in a bad tone: "Old mixed hair, what are you doing? Are you afraid? If you're afraid, admit your mistake and I'll let you go." The middle-aged man sneered and said with a smile: "Joke, I'm afraid of you, little rascal. I just worry that our fight will disturb my young lady and young master's rest. Let's change places to try it out, dare you come?" "Afraid of you? Go," Du Fei also looked at the middle-aged man with disdain.

  In this way, the two of them jumped out of the city gate and confronted each other. Du Fei looked at the middle-aged man and said: "Alright, now that we're away from your young master and miss, let's begin." With a loud shout from Du Fei, the two of them simultaneously charged towards each other, starting their battle.

  Only to see the two men's fists and feet intersecting, close combat was a staple for Du Fei, who had honed his skills in the daily battles with ferocious beasts in the Kunmo Mountains. The Crazy Yuan Fist taught by the Wordless Heavenly Book had been practiced by Du Fei to the point of fusion with his soul, and when combined with his close combat skills, it became a masterpiece of great accomplishment.

  Even those who are skilled in controlling the origin, their skills in close combat are not as high as Du Fei's. This close combat can be said to be Du Fei's specialty. After exchanging blows with Du Fei for a while, the middle-aged man clearly felt the sharpness of Du Fei's fist technique and could only passively defend himself. Sometimes he couldn't even block Du Fei's punches and kicks and was beaten mercilessly by Du Fei. So, he decisively stopped fighting Du Fei in close combat and separated from him immediately. After all, the middle-aged man's strength was not to be underestimated, although he only used a little bit of his strength. However, the physical body of the fusion soul realm could not be changed. The middle-aged man did not suffer much injury after withstanding Du Fei's attack, but looked at Du Fei with some resentment, standing in anger and staring at Du Fei. At this time, Du Fei was looking at the middle-aged man with a triumphant expression, his victorious posture fully revealed.

  "How's that, old mixed hair? Now you know the greatness of Grandpa, right? See if you dare to be arrogant in the future." Du Fei was delighted at this time.

  "Hmph, that's just a small trick. Next, I'll see if you can still be arrogant. Come on." The middle-aged man spoke as he quickly made a gesture with his hand.

  Du Fei was shocked to see the middle-aged man's hand gesture, thinking: "Oh no, this old guy is going to use his martial skills." Just as Du Fei was panicking, the middle-aged man's hand gesture was already formed, and he shouted at Du Fei: "Rock Earth Bullet."

  Only the middle-aged man's surrounding soil continued to float in mid-air, gathering together to form many fist-sized mud balls that constantly impacted towards Du Fei's direction. Du Fei saw the incoming stone balls and quickly reacted by dodging them with his body movements. However, due to the large number of stone balls created by the middle-aged man, Du Fei found it difficult to dodge them all. He gritted his teeth and while moving his body to avoid the stone ball attacks, he also formed a hand seal.

  Within a few flashes, Du Fei's gesture had already condensed, and with just one palm strike, he shot out towards the middle-aged man. A fireball in the shape of his palm rushed towards the direction where the middle-aged man was standing. The middle-aged man saw the flying fire palm and calmly struck out a stone ball to collide with it. Only a "bang" sound was heard, and Du Fei continuously struck out dozens of flames. The middle-aged man also welcomed the flames that Du Fei had struck out with his stone balls, one after another. Dozens of "bang bang" explosion sounds echoed in the air. Just as the explosion sounds stopped for an instant, the middle-aged man indeed swung his fist and struck the ground fiercely.

  Only to see a crack appeared on the ground and quickly spread towards Du Fei, who was not far away. Du Fei saw the crack approaching him and swiftly jumped to one side to avoid its attack. Just as Du Fei stabilized his body, a figure suddenly fell from the sky. Du Fei also looked up in surprise to see that it was the middle-aged man. At this time, the middle-aged man's feet were pressed down, and only saw that the soles of his feet changed into a large amount of wood, wrapping around his feet.

  Du Fei was also shocked, and immediately reacted, swinging his right fist. At this time, Du Fei's right fist was wrapped in a layer of pale blue gas. Du Fei punched out, and another "bang" sound came. Because the middle-aged man's legs were very powerful earlier, Du Fei's feet had sunk about halfway into the ground. A numbness spread through his arm. After all, Du Fei's current strength was only at the third level of nuclear gathering, and the gap between him and his opponent was too great. Although the other party had only used strength equivalent to the third level of yuan condensation, this difference in realm also made Du Fei suffer a lot.

  However, the middle-aged man was also not feeling well at this time. The strongest blow of Du Fei's crazy yuan fist just now had used a large amount of yuan energy in his arm to strike out, and its power and strength could only be felt by the middle-aged man. The middle-aged man fell to the ground and pushed forward several steps before stabilizing his body shape, then raised his head to look at Du Fei, revealing an expression of shock. He had never thought that his own fierce blow just now would actually be countered by Du Fei's one punch, and he hadn't even stabilized his body yet.

  At this time, Du Fei was struggling to climb up to the ground, but he was trapped a bit deep and was pinched tightly by the soil. After a while, it still didn't work. The middle-aged man saw that Du Fei was trapped in the soil and was overjoyed. He made another gesture, preparing to launch an attack on Du Fei again. Just then, two figures suddenly fell from the sky. The middle-aged man took a closer look and found that they were his own young master and miss. At this time, their faces looked a bit flustered. The young man said urgently: "Uncle Nan, something's wrong! Someone is sneaking up on us!"
