Chapter 141: Looking for a Place to Fall

  "Booming thunder, what's this ultimate skill you're so proud of?" Du Fei asked with a puzzled expression.

  "That's right, as long as you can help me get rid of this damn iron chain, I'll help you remove the seal on your body and even teach you a set of my ultimate skills. You can rest assured, I won't cheat you." Dugu Zhāo Liè looked at Du Fei with an air of righteousness.

  "This is just empty talk..." Du Fei was about to speak but was interrupted by Dugu Zhuo Lie, who seemed to have seen through Du Fei's thoughts and said: "If you still don't believe me, I'll give you two options. Either I kill you now and figure it out myself, or you shut up and follow my arrangements obediently. You choose." Dugu Zhuo Lie stood with his hands clasped behind his back, looking cold and handsome.

  "You old rascal, your mouth is still quite hard, if you really have a way, would you still ask me for help? You're cheating a kid. Help you, anyway, I've been paying attention to this iron chain for a long time." Du Fei cursed in his heart, but on the surface, he said respectfully to Dugu Zhuo Lie: "Alright, I'll help you, but let's make it clear first, I don't dare guarantee 100% that I can take it down, if I can't take it down, don't blame me."

  "If you can't get it down, your fate will be sealed." Dugu Zhuo's right hand suddenly transformed into a palm, and the palm drove out a stream of yuan energy that shattered the stones on the ground into powder. Du Fei, who was watching, also shuddered. He cursed in his heart: "You old man are so overbearing, you're sure I can get it down? What if I really can't get it down later? Won't I be risking my life? My god, what kind of logic is this?"

  "Kid, don't think I don't know what you're all about. Although I don't know why you're here," said Dugu Zhāo Liè, his face close to Du Fei's, their eyes locked in a stare, "You're from the Jin family."

  Du Fei also took a step back when he heard Dugu Zhuo Lie's words, and asked in a flustered tone: "H-how did you know?"

  "Although the Jin family's Demon-Subduing Golden Fist is rarely seen in the world, there are only a handful of people on the Elemental Continent who know this sacred martial skill. But I, Dugu Zhāo Liè, have traversed the continent for hundreds of years, how could I not have seen such a technique? Moreover, your Jin family is a renowned clan of master craftsmen, with each generation producing exceptional talents. Although you are still young and haven't reached that level of mastery in crafting, I think you must have inherited the legacy of your family, right?" Dugu Zhāo Liè said calmly.

  "Hundreds of years?! You mean you're already hundreds of years old?!" Du Fei's eyes narrowed as he stared at Dugu Zhuo Leng in shock.

  "Just find a way to unlock the chains on my hands and feet, don't ask any more questions, it's not good for you!" Dugu Zhāo Liè glared at Du Fei, who immediately swallowed back the question he was about to ask.

  "And one more thing, from now on when I call you, you must come immediately. Even if you escape to the vastness of space, my seal can still cause you harm." Dugu Zhāo Liè gazed at Du Fei with a stern expression, as if he were a prisoner, causing Du Fei's heart to tighten involuntarily.

  "You old rascal, I'll settle scores with you once I have the power." Du Fei cursed inwardly.

  "Remember my words, as long as you follow my instructions, nothing will happen to you." After finishing speaking, Dugu Zhāo Lì turned around and left Du Fei, leaving him standing in the same place with a strange expression, muttering curses.

  Watching Dugu Zhōu Liè slowly disappear from his line of sight, Du Fei also sat on the ground in a dejected manner, with an expression that was bitter beyond words.

  "You said I've encountered some bad luck, staying in the Tian Zhu Brook wasn't a big deal, but as soon as I came out, I ran into this old rascal." Du Fei complained to the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "It's not bad, this deal is beneficial to you, isn't it? Think about it, you help him remove the iron chains from his hands and feet, and you can get a set of sacred martial skills, and also take the Lianyang Pure Steel for yourself. It's a win-win situation, why wouldn't you do it?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "I know this, but if I can't find a way to get the iron chain off his hand, won't my life be forfeit?" Du Fei said.

  "Yo, kiddo, when did you become so cowardly and start fearing things? The words on the Wordless Heavenly Book were written in a crooked and inverted font, as if blown by the wind. Du Fei's eyes also burned with anger."

  "Now everyone is worried to death, and you still have the nerve to mock me here. Are you trying..." Du Fei stood up, ready to pee on the blank heavenly book.

  "Haha, I'm just joking with you, don't worry, if you can't think of a way out, I'll be here."

  "Haha, I knew you'd have a way, speak up quickly." Du Fei's face changed to a joyful expression in an instant, with a sly smile as he looked at the wordless heavenly book.

  "You little scamp was just trying to scare me earlier, and I fell for it." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Hehehe, stop complaining here, speak quickly." Du Fei looked at the Wordless Heavenly Book with an impatient expression.

  "The method is actually very simple, it just relies on the Golden Family's Demon-Subduing Vajra Transformation. As long as you can practice the first segment of the Demon-Subduing Vajra Transformation and sense and control external golden elements, that will be enough." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "What, the first stage is complete, my dear. I've been preparing for this Demon-Subduing Golden Vajra for years, and just to reach my current level has taken me almost a year. If Annie says that completing the first segment will take who-knows-how-many more years..." Du Fei looked at the Wordless Heavenly Book with some disappointment.

  "Then you can wait for death." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "You're so lazy, I don't even want to talk to you. Open the door, I'm going home." Du Fei said with a stifled expression. At this moment, the Wordless Heavenly Book lit up with a burst of white light, and an instant spatial vortex appeared around it, swallowing Du Fei in an instant, leaving no trace behind.

  Tian Zhu Xi Nei:

  At this time, Du Fei was intensifying his cultivation without stopping, thinking of the task that Dugu Zhuo Lie had arranged for him. If he really couldn't complete it, according to Dugu Zhuo Lie's temperament, he would definitely kill Du Fei when the time came. The way Du Fei cultivated now was already the most effective way to improve, and no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't think of any other way to make his strength surge. Suddenly, an idea flashed through Du Fei's mind.

  "Ah, yes! I had forgotten about this. The seal that Old Drunkard left on me can actually be a power boost! If I can control this power, my cultivation might really advance to the next level... or maybe not." Du Fei said with a delighted expression.

  "What do you want to do? This is a very dangerous thing." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "I also knew this, but for the sake of Lieyang's pure steel and that old mixed hair's sacred martial skill, I can only try my luck. Ah, right, that monkey usually helps me control my power when I'm exhausted, if I could use my full strength to control it, maybe the effect would be much better." Du Fei asked Wu Zitian Shu.

  "I don't know, I haven't tried it either, but now that the monkey is no longer by your side, I also don't know how to activate this seal." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "Open the door, I want to go out." Du Fei said. At this moment, a space vortex appeared around Du Fei, and he suddenly rushed into the space vortex and disappeared inside Tian Zhu Brook.

  Du Fei appeared at the cliff where he usually met with Yuanhuan, shouting loudly: "Dead monkey, get out for me!" The echo of Du Fei's shout instantly came from the edge of the cliff. Seeing no response, Du Fei shouted again, each time cursing more harshly than before.

  "Hahaha, junior brother, did you hear that? Someone is scolding you, can you still bear it?" The speaker was none other than the principal of Haoyuan Academy. At this moment, the principal and two others were sitting in the Crazy Man Tower drinking tea. Upon hearing Du Fei's curses, the reactions of the two people were vastly different. The principal had a face full of smiles, while at this time, the expression of one of them was extremely pleasant, with a bright red face and a furious look, holding a teacup. Suddenly, a "crack" sound came from it, and the teacup in his hand shattered into powder. He stood up angrily and said: "This little turtle egg really doesn't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is. Today, I must teach him a good lesson." As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared inside the Crazy Man Tower, leaving only the principal drinking tea alone in the tower.

  "Wild monkey..." Du Fei hadn't finished speaking when he felt a chill behind him, his pupils shrinking. Before he could react, Du Fei was already lifted off the ground and flew far away, heavily crashing to the ground with a painful expression on his face as he glared at the ape, cursing: "Are you crazy? Such great strength!" However, the ape didn't pay attention to Du Fei's words, stormily walking towards him. Seeing the ape's appearance, Du Fei immediately changed to a smiling face and said: "Hehe, Monkey Master, do we have something good to discuss? Why make such a big fuss?"

  "Little rascal, if I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know how high the sky is or how thick the earth is!" The gibbon cursed angrily. Du Fei saw the gibbon's appearance and immediately got up to prepare for escape, but the gibbon's large palm had already grabbed Du Fei, and Du Fei only felt himself being lifted into the air again, rising to a height of several dozen meters. "Ah..." Du Fei, who was taken to high altitude by the gibbon, also shouted in panic.

  "Thud" Du Fei heavily fell to the ground, got a mouthful of dirt and dust, with a painful expression looking at the not far away gibbon. The gibbon once again picked up Du Fei preparing to throw him down, but Du Fei immediately made a stopping gesture saying: "Wait, listen to me first. After I finish talking, it's not too late to throw me."

  Seeing Du Fei's somewhat pale expression, Yuanhuan also slowed down and said: "If there isn't a convincing reason, I'd be surprised if I don't beat you to death today."
