Chapter 104: The Dao Protector Appears!

"Zi Yan, get further away!"

Gu Fei unleashed two strands of gentle force, pushing Zi Yan and Cao Ying, who were beside him, several dozen zhang away.

His own figure flickered rapidly, dodging the attacks of those several chains.

Immediately following, Gu Fei changed his hand seals, and heaven-shaking Exotic Fire surged out from within his body, covering the sky and earth; then, three types of Exotic Fire and two types of beast fire separated, only to rapidly condense again.

"Five Wheel Departure Fire Method..."

Seeing this scene, Venerable Tianhuo, who had long since taken Qing Lin, Xiao Yixian, and Lion King to a further distance, felt his heart skip a beat, and a burning heat surged into his aged eyes.

This scroll of Battle Technique was something Venerable Tianhuo had also obtained by chance back in the day, so even during his peak period, he had never truly unleashed the full power of the Five Wheel Departure Fire Method.

Because the requirements for Exotic Fire were too harsh, the reason Venerable Tianhuo had risked attempting to fuse a second Fallen Heart Flame back then had a great deal to do with this Five Wheel Departure Fire Method.

However, these near-harsh requirements were now almost being met by Gu Fei!

Three types of Exotic Fire hovered in the sky.

The terrifying temperature instantly caused the air in this stretch of the sky to become parched.

Fortunately, when the Soul Barrier first shattered, the people nearby had already run away.

Otherwise, a battle of such scale would have left no telling how many people caught in the crossfire.

"Refined three types of Exotic Fire... Could it be that this person is cultivating that scroll of cultivation method?"

At this moment, there was an unprecedented longing in Mugu Elder's pupils.

"Three types of Exotic Fire... How is this possible?"

"How can three types of Exotic Fire coexist within one person's body? Is he not afraid that these Exotic Fires will clash with each other and eventually explode?"

Not far away, Cao Ying and the others were so shocked by this scene that their feelings were beyond words.

"Old Ghost, this person must be kept alive!"

Thinking that Gu Fei likely possessed that kind of cultivation method capable of fusing Exotic Fires, Mugu Elder hurriedly roared at Zhaixing Old Ghost.

"Hmph, what time do you think it is, and you still have the heart to think about other things..."

Zhaixing Old Ghost frowned deeply. He grabbed forward with his large hand, and a black giant hand instantly merged into the void; when it appeared again, it was already a zhang away from Gu Fei.

"Big Brother Gu Fei, you must not be harmed..." In the distance, Xiao Yixian, who had been brought outside the battlefield by Venerable Tianhuo, was very worried.

"I must work hard and strive to be able to fight side-by-side with Big Brother Gu Fei in the future!"

She desperately wanted to help Gu Fei, but she also knew that if she went over now, she would only be a burden.

"Five Wheels Leaving Fire Array!"

Facing Zhaixing Old Ghost, whose cultivation was four stars higher than his own, Gu Fei was going all out at this moment.

Possessing the Five Wheels Leaving Fire Array composed of three Exotic Fires, its power had already reached the peak of an Earth-tier Battle Technique, just one step away from rivaling a Heaven-tier one.

Gu Fei stood at the eye of the array, controlling the powerful flames to meet those giant hands head-on.

A powerful Battle Technique and a refined foundation of Dou Qi allowed Gu Fei to have the ability to fight above his rank.

Coupled with the fact that Zhaixing Old Ghost had no heart to continue the battle at this moment, Gu Fei, with the cultivation of a One-Star Dou Zun, actually fought Zhaixing Old Ghost to a draw.

"Sigh..."

"Old Ghost, Xuan Kongzi and the others should be here soon; this place is not suitable for a long stay!"

Seeing that Zhaixing Old Ghost could not take down Gu Fei in a short time, Mugu Elder sighed.

He seemed to have sensed something and hurriedly urged Zhaixing Old Ghost to leave.

"Kid, your cultivation method will belong to this old man sooner or later..."

Before leaving, a flash of unwillingness crossed Mugu Elder's eyes. He sneered and struck a palm at Zi Yan and Cao Ying, who were watching the battle from afar.

From beginning to end, Venerable Tianhuo had never made a move to deal with Mugu Elder and Zhaixing Old Ghost.

Because he knew that Gu Fei hoped more for him to protect Xiao Yixian, Qing Lin, and the others well.

At this moment, Zi Yan was in danger, and Venerable Tianhuo decisively blocked the giant palm print attacking Zi Yan, but he was unable to divide his attention to handle the situation on the side of the enchantress Cao Ying.

"Am I going to die..."

Feeling the terrifying power contained within that giant palm, Cao Ying felt despair in her heart.

She was merely a Dou Huang; how could she possibly escape the attack of a Dou Zun expert?

"Boom!"

After Cao Ying closed her eyes, a loud noise erupted around her, but the physical disintegration she had imagined did not occur.

A tall, straight figure stood in front of her.

"Young Master Gu Fei!"

Seeing that it was Gu Fei who had saved her, Cao Ying's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Gu Fei was even more intense with admiration than before.

"Many thanks, Young Master Gu Fei!"

"For this life-saving grace, Cao Ying does not know how to repay you!"

Cao Ying bowed to offer her thanks, her slender jade arms slowly extending; her posture was graceful, and her figure, soft as a snake, was extremely alluring.

In truth, she had wanted to hug Gu Fei from behind just now, but after hesitating for a moment, she dismissed that thought.

Because she understood that if she appeared too cheap, it would instead invite disgust.

"Miss Cao Ying, you and I can be considered friends; there is no need to take such a trivial matter to heart..."

Hearing this, Gu Fei turned around and waved his hand casually, then suddenly paused.

Because Cao Ying was bowing toward Gu Fei, a patch of snowy white scenery beneath her neck was quite spectacular, and at such close range, Gu Fei could feast his eyes.

Especially when Cao Ying looked up at Gu Fei like that, the look in her eyes was almost melting, practically hooking one's soul.

"Let's go!"

Mugu Elder did not care about these things; his attack on Zi Yan and Cao Ying was meant to restrain Gu Fei and Venerable Tianhuo.

With no one stopping them now, Zhaixing Old Ghost and the space around him became distorted; once they escaped into the void, even if Xuan Kongzi arrived, he would be unable to pursue the two.

"The people of the Soul Hall are becoming increasingly bold, actually daring to make a move against my Ancient Clan!"

However, just at this moment, an aged voice rang out in the sky over the outer region of Shengdan Cheng.

The person who arrived was not Xuan Kongzi, but the Gu Clan Elder who had been secretly protecting Gu Fei all along.

After seeing Gu Fei and his group arrive at Shengdan Cheng, this Elder had relaxed quite a bit and stayed far outside of Shengdan Cheng.

But just now, Gu Fei's battle with Mugu Elder and the others had quickly allowed him to sense it.

At this moment, as the Gu Clan Elder appeared in the sky, the space originally distorting around Mugu Elder and Zhaixing Old Ghost instantly solidified.

"This power, could it be, a Saint has descended?"

Feeling the space around their bodies solidify, Mugu Elder and Zhaixing Old Ghost both revealed expressions of horror.

"Mu Gu, just what kind of person are you trying to deal with? You've ruined me!"

Realizing that they could not escape, Zhaixing Old Ghost could not help but curse loudly at Mu Gu.

"That brat is from the Ancient Clan; this time, we have truly kicked an iron plate!"

Mu Gu recalled the words spoken by the Gu Clan Elder and felt his scalp go numb.

"Is it that legendary ancient clan?"

Zhaixing Old Ghost's face was full of horror, and at this moment, he had the urge to tear Mu Gu to pieces.

If it weren't for Mugu Elder inviting him here, he would not be facing this kind of situation today.

"Senior, we are from the Soul Hall. Today's matter might be a misunderstanding. We ask that you please show mercy, Senior; we will leave right now!"

Mugu Elder and Zhaixing Old Ghost still wanted to beg for mercy, but that Gu Clan Elder did not give them the chance.

"Die!"

The old man in the sky simply raised his hand and pressed down lightly, and Mugu Elder and Zhaixing Old Ghost both turned into a mist of blood and dissipated.

"Hehe, Elder Gu Qian, I didn't expect that you were the one following me along this entire journey..."
