Chapter 24: All Warfare is Based on Deception

  Original Wu

  "Ah, no good." Du Fei saw the fierce flame lion pounce towards him in the dark passage. He gathered all his energy and punched out with both fists in the direction of the fierce flame lion's attack. However, Du Fei's current strength was only at the Breaking Body Realm, how could he withstand the fierce flame lion's powerful pounce? Just as Du Fei's fist hit the fierce flame lion's body, he was blown away by the lion's strong inertia, flying tens of meters and heavily crashing to the ground, rolling several times.

  "Your grandfather's, this guy is incredibly formidable. I used so much of my yuanqi and couldn't even harm it in the slightest, how detestable." Du Fei wiped away the fresh blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

  "Haha, you little brat, don't embarrass yourself by showing off your three-legged cat kung fu. Just obediently follow me back and avoid suffering physical pain. Otherwise, I'll make you look good." The Blazing Red Lion laughed maniacally as he stood on the ground.

  "You bastard, what else can you do besides bullying the weak? I may not be able to beat you, but I won't listen to you either. You want to catch me? Let's see if you have the ability." Du Fei said with a huff, and as he spoke, the long sword in his hand flew out and shot straight towards the position of Lie Yan Hong Shi.

  The Blazing Red Lion saw Du Fei throw his long sword over, and with a flash of movement, he easily dodged the sword's attack. He was somewhat enraged, saying: "You little brat, don't think that just because I offered you wine earlier, I won't make you pay for it now! You've really angered me this time, and if I don't teach you a good lesson, my name isn't Blazing Red Lion!" A powerful aura emanated from the Blazing Red Lion's body, blowing Du Fei's hair into disarray.

  "What incredible strength, is this the power equivalent to the Human Realm's Inverse Boundary? It's so formidable, what can be done?" Du Fei started to worry at this time, facing such a huge gap in strength that was like an insurmountable chasm. Du Fei couldn't help but feel some panic. Just then, the Wordless Heavenly Book lit up and with a "whoosh" sound, it lifted Du Fei into the air.

  The Blazing Red Lion was astonished to see Du Fei floating in mid-air and exclaimed, "You little scoundrel really has some tricks up your sleeve! With such cultivation, you can already fly. You must have some treasure on you. Last time, I suffered a loss because of this and couldn't catch you, letting you escape. But do you think I'm unprepared this time?" As he spoke, the Blazing Red Lion also followed Du Fei into the sky.

  Du Fei saw Lie Yan Hong Shi also flew up and was startled, saying: "You can fly?"

  "Hahaha, when did I ever tell you that I couldn't fly? Last time wasn't it you who flew away quickly and escaped? This old man was already able to catch you last time. This time no matter what, it's impossible for you to run again." Lie Yan Hong Shi once again charged towards Du Fei.

  "Ah, no! He's after us, let's hurry and run away. If we get caught, we'll be in big trouble!" Du Fei shouted loudly. At this moment, Du Fei was flying wildly in the sky, just to avoid being caught by Lie Yan Hong Shi.

  The Blazing Lion chased after Du Fei in the air for half a day but couldn't catch up. It stopped to pant, taking several deep breaths. When Du Fei saw that the Blazing Lion had stopped to rest, he also halted his flight. He sneered: "You're not as formidable as I thought. You got tired after just a short while and can't even catch up to me. I thought you were something special, but it turns out you're just a bragging little dog."

  The fierce flame red lion saw Du Fei's complacent look at this time, and couldn't help but say: "You detestable thing, don't be so arrogant, wait until I catch you later, you'll be in for a surprise."

  Du Fei said with a smile: "Mutt, don't try to scare me, I'm not buying what you're selling. You catch up to me and then we'll talk."

  The fierce flame red lion was now furious to the point of explosion. Only to see its cheeks bulging, a big mouth opened, and a powerful flame shot straight at the area where Du Fei was located.

  Du Fei saw the flames approaching, extremely shocked, and hastily urged: "Hurry up and fly away, the flames are coming, it's going to be fatal." The Wordless Heavenly Book took Du Fei down in a dive to avoid the fierce fire attack. Du Fei let out a sigh of relief and said: "What a close call, this mangy dog is playing dirty tricks, fortunately I dodged quickly or else..." Before Du Fei could finish speaking, an even more powerful flame than before came again, and the Wordless Heavenly Book took Du Fei on another wild escape.

  The flames shot out did not hit Du Fei, but fell to the ground, igniting a large area of trees on the ground. At this time, the forest had become a sea of fire, and Du Fei was sweating profusely. The fierce flame red lion that used a lot of flames also didn't get any better, hovering in mid-air, panting heavily to recover its energy.

  "It's so hot, let's think of a way to escape. If we continue like this, we'll die from dehydration." Du Fei said to the wordless heavenly book.

  A white light flashed on Wu Zitian's body, and Du Fei quickly looked over.

  "You're afraid of this bird? This kind of thing has scared you, and I haven't had enough fun yet. If you're afraid, I'll let you go down and wait for me to have a good chat with it. What do you think?" Tian Shu said.

  "You damn thing, you didn't say a word for half a day and I thought you were so scared that you couldn't write anymore. Who would have thought that you're still playing with him? I give up on you." Du Fei scolded in a bad mood.

  "I'm afraid of him, haha, I didn't speak earlier just to see if you'd be scared, but I didn't expect you to be so cowardly, it's really shameful." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "You......" At this time, Du Fei was speechless and stared at each other.

  "Alright, I won't joke with you anymore. That guy's breath is almost gone, and he's going to burn you again, so be careful. He's just a moron, even dumber than you. Although his strength is stronger than yours, after all, he's a yuan beast and doesn't have the intelligence of a human. Try to use language to provoke him into anger, and when his energy is almost depleted, it won't be too late to take care of him. You can win against him with your wits." The words on the Wordless Heavenly Book flew by quickly.

  "You're not as smart as you think you are." Du Fei said with great discontent, flying towards the Blazing Red Lion. The Blazing Red Lion saw Du Fei flying towards it and was overjoyed in its heart, gathering fire elements to spew out a huge fireball about 20 meters in diameter, which flew straight at Du Fei. Seeing this enormous fireball coming his way, Du Fei suddenly stopped mid-air, frantically waving his hands and feet while shouting: "You're trying to kill me! You can't even see such a huge fireball coming!"

  Just as the fireball was about to burn Du Fei, Du Fei rushed up and dodged the fireball's attack. However, in the process of escaping, he was slightly burned by the flames at the edge of the fireball. Now Du Fei's face is charred black, looking comical, completely like a clown.

  "You bastard, you're deliberately messing with me, I'm not done with you yet." Du Fei cursed at the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  Flaming Lion saw Du Fei muttering to himself on the side, completely disregarding him. The usual Flaming Lion had never been treated like this before. His eyes turned bloodshot with rage as he roared: "You little brat, don't be so arrogant! I'll take you down today!"

  The sound of Lie Yan Huo's roar was heard. Du Fei only remembered the wisdom of Wu Zi Tian Shu's words from earlier, and smiled complacently: "Mongrel dog, how about it? Do you know your grandfather's power now? You were so arrogant on the ground just now, what are you like now? Haha...

  When Du Fei said this, the Blazing Flame Lion spewed out another wave of flames. Seeing that the Blazing Flame Lion was recklessly wasting its energy, Du Fei's heart was filled with excitement. With the help of the Wordless Heavenly Book, he skillfully dodged each of the Blazing Flame Lion's flame attacks.

  After about half a time, the fierce flame lion was unable to support its own flight due to excessive consumption of yuanqi. It slowly flew towards the ground full of flames and stood on the ground, panting heavily with sweat all over its head. Du Fei floated in mid-air, looking at the exhausted flame lion and laughed: "Mongrel dog, how's that? You weren't going to catch your grandpa? Grandpa is right here waiting for you, come up and catch him."

  "Hmph, you little scoundrel tricked me and I fell for it. Once I catch my breath, I'll go up there and settle the score with you. Don't stay in mid-air, if you have what it takes, come down here and let's engage in close combat." said Lie Yan Hong Shi, unwilling to concede.

  "Come on, I'm coming! You've asked for it, Grandpa is here!" Du Fei shouted loudly. With a speed as swift as lightning, he rushed towards the flames of the Fire Lion on the ground. The Fire Lion saw that Du Fei was really charging down and couldn't help but feel a thrill in its heart. Although it had already consumed most of its energy, if Du Fei really engaged in close combat with itself, it would definitely be able to easily defeat Du Fei.

  Just as Lie Huo Fire Lion was still rejoicing, Du Fei had already rushed to a position three or four meters above Lie Huo Fire Lion. At this moment, Du Fei raised his left hand, emitting a burst of white light, and a book slid down along the edge of his left hand - it was none other than the Wordless Heavenly Book. Du Fei rotated in mid-air for several circles before landing steadily on the ground. With a swift kick, he swept away the flames around him, clearing an area of several meters. At the same time, the Wordless Heavenly Book slammed into Lie Huo Fire Lion's body. Before Lie Huo Fire Lion could even react, it was smashed to the ground by the book and lay there motionlessly, unable to move no matter how hard it struggled. Its entire vitality seemed to have been sealed away, leaving it with no choice but to watch as Du Fei walked towards it with a smile, thinking to itself: "What did this guy use? Why can't I move?"

  "Haha, I say, esteemed Lord Red Lion, what's gotten into you? Why are you showing such great courtesy to a little kid like me? I'm not worthy of it." Du Fei teased.

  The Blazing Lion saw Du Fei's appearance, gritted his teeth, and stared at Du Fei with a pair of eyes filled with blood and resentment: "You little bastard, what did you do to me? Let me go quickly, or I'll kill you." At this time, the Blazing Lion could only move its head and tail slightly, as its limbs were pressed down and unable to exert any strength.

  "Ah!" Du Fei threw a punch at Lie Yan Huo's face: "You still dare to play tough with your grandfather? I think you don't want to live anymore." As he spoke, another punch came flying back. Lie Yan Huo was so angry that his eyes were about to pop out, but now he couldn't use any yuanqi or elements and could only stare at Du Fei blankly.

  "If it weren't for your despicable trick, I wouldn't have been ambushed by you. If you have the ability, let me get up and we'll fight again." Lie Yan Huo Shizi tried to get up while speaking, but no matter what he did, he couldn't get up.

  "You think I'm as stupid as you? If I were you, I'd rather find a block of tofu and smash myself to death. Just now, I used the simplest provocation method to provoke you, but I didn't expect that you, this big idiot, would actually fall for it. A beast is just a beast, its brain is that simple, no matter how powerful it is, it's still just a beast. Haven't you heard of a human saying?" Du Fei said with satisfaction, looking at Lie Yan Huo Shi, and as he spoke, he walked to the side and back of Lie Yan Huo Shi, in case Lie Yan Huo Shi suddenly bit him.

  "What did you say?" the Blazing Lion roared.

  "That's - 'A soldier never tires of deceit.'"
