Chapter 157: Three Things
"What? Borrow the body of Yuan, like last time I saved Uncle Huan?" Du Fei's face showed a puzzled expression, with more worry. Upon hearing the words "borrow the body of Yuan", Du Fei's head felt heavy, as last time he had borrowed the body of Yuan was to save Long Huan and had almost lost his own name due to his reckless actions and extremely good luck. But this time, the Wordless Heavenly Book was asking him to use this method again to help someone with whom he didn't have a deep emotional connection, Du Fei was definitely unwilling.
"That's right, it's the same method as last time, but this time you don't need to gather Chi as highly concentrated as last time. Just your own body's Chi concentration or a little higher will do. However, I won't be able to help you gather Chi in person this time." The Scripture of the Wordless Heaven said.
"If you don't help me gather yuanqi, who will?" Du Fei looked at the Wordless Heavenly Book with doubt.
"Last time, Long Huan didn't discover my existence, that's why he did what he did. But this time is different, you also know I can't let anyone know of my existence. This time, you need the help of that old man to succeed. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen, just tell him to decompose his internal yuanqi into the concentration you need and transmit it to you. Then use your Jin family's Fumo Golden Fist to decompose the iron chain on his hand, that's all." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Unbelievable, it's that simple? All I need is enough yuanqi to decompose the iron chains and it'll be fine? Why didn't you tell me about this method before?" Du Fei looked at Wu Zitian with a mixture of doubt and suspicion.
"Who knew that you little guy's strength and cultivation would grow so fast in this period of time? According to my estimation, it should take at least one or two years for you to reach your current level. Who knew that being struck by lightning would bring you so many benefits?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Really no danger?" Du Fei still looked at Wu Zitian with some doubt.
"There will definitely be danger, but it's much safer than last time. As long as you follow the method I told you, you won't have any problems." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"But I still can't figure it out, why did he have to let that old scoundrel help me transport my yuanqi? My own recovery speed is already quite fast, if he didn't have any ulterior motives and intentionally increased the concentration of yuanqi to transport into my body, wouldn't I be finished? Besides, you said his strength is being suppressed, does he even have enough yuanqi to transport to me?" Du Fei asked.
"Coward, if you don't dare to do it, then forget it. I'm too lazy to talk to you. Do you really think people will be afraid of a little ghost like you making secret moves behind their backs? If they wanted to kill you, they would have done it long ago. Why wait until now? Besides, that's also related to his own affairs, killing you would benefit him, right? As for the old man's strength, although he was suppressed, that's just his usable power being suppressed, but his vitality is still sufficient. And why did he give you the task of supplying him with vitality? Because that pure yang steel isn't ordinary mineral material, if it's interrupted during decomposition, it will automatically restore itself, so your vitality supply can't stop." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Oh, is that so? You're saying that, I'm a lot more at ease now. Alright, let's do it your way then. I'll go find that old fellow right away." Du Fei finally cracked a smile on his face.
"Suit yourself, you can take a rest too, wait until your vitality is restored before going." The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.
"Right! I had forgotten if you hadn't mentioned it. Haha!" Du Fei laughed loudly.
Inside the Grand Canyon of the Colorado River
Du Fei was standing at the edge of a cliff, looking out at the endless expanse of cliffs. He was in high spirits and shouted loudly into the valley below: "Old mixed hair, come out quickly! I have a way to unlock the iron chains on your body. Do you want freedom? If you want freedom, hurry up and roll out!" As soon as Du Fei finished shouting, his voice echoed instantly within the valley, spreading layer by layer.
Du Fei also heard his own echo, curiously looking towards the distant valley. At this time, only the dense forest in the valley began to flash with something, and the speed was quite fast. However, it didn't take long for the forest to return to calmness. Du Fei also looked puzzled, gazing around: "Has that old mixed hair disappeared? Doesn't he want to be free?"
Just as Du Fei was in a state of confusion, a hoarse voice suddenly came: "Little scum, no respect for elders or young."
Du Fei was shocked, and just as he composed himself, he saw a disheveled figure with unkempt hair, a stubbly face, and iron chains on his limbs standing in front of him, humming loudly. It wasn't anyone else, but the very person Du Fei had called "Old Mixed Hair" - Dugu Zhui Lie.
Du Fei also clearly felt Dugu Zhonglie's anger, and with an awkward smile, he looked at Dugu Zhonglie and said: "Hehe, old man, you're here." Du Fei spoke while secretly thinking about retreating behind him. However, Dugu Zhonglie seemed to see through Du Fei's thoughts, his cold and ruthless expression staring straight at Du Fei, scaring Du Fei into swallowing hard. "Hehe," Du Fei said again, trying to ease the awkward atmosphere with a silly smile since Dugu Zhonglie hadn't spoken.
"You little rascal!" Dugu Zhāo Liè finally burst out, cursing as he kicked his right foot at Du Fei. Du Fei saw Dugu Zhāo Liè's incoming kick and his heart suddenly tightened, wanting to dodge, but the foot had already landed on his body.
"Ah." A miserable cry came, and Du Fei was kicked flying by Dugu Zhuo Lie, falling heavily to the ground several meters away, with blood also oozing from the corner of his mouth. Du Fei was anxious, and as soon as he fell to the ground, he cursed loudly: "You old mixed hair, try kicking again." Dugu Zhuo Lie saw Du Fei's angry expression on the ground and became interested, flashing a figure, suddenly appearing in front of Du Fei, squatting down and saying: "This is what you said." After finishing speaking, Dugu Zhuo Lie stood up again, preparing to kick Du Fei once more. Seeing that Dugu Zhuo Lie really meant it, Du Fei immediately changed his attitude and said: "Wait, I was just joking." While speaking, he struggled to get up and escaped from Dugu Zhuo Lie's attack range.
"You don't know the height of heaven and the thickness of earth." Dugu Zhāo Liè saw Du Fei stand up, also collected his own movements, with both hands behind his back, scolding Du Fei.
"You old rascal. If you really kick me to death today, I think it will be too late for you to regret even if your intestines turn green." Du Fei said with a smug expression, standing still on the spot.
"Oh, what do you mean by that?" Dugu Zhuo Lie's eyebrows slightly raised, and from Du Fei's words, he clearly heard the underlying meaning, so at this moment, his expression became somewhat delighted.
"It doesn't make sense." Du Fei's face was full of arrogance as he looked at Dugu Zhao Lie, who had reached the extreme. Dugu Zhao Lie also saw Du Fei's expression and a hint of anger appeared on his face. His body suddenly appeared in front of Du Fei, grabbing his neck and lifting him up to the top of his head, saying coldly: "Speak." As he spoke, the force in his hand increased greatly. The sudden attack caught Du Fei off guard, and now his face was as red as a monkey's buttocks. Du Fei, who was being held in mid-air by Dugu Zhao Lie, struggled hard to break free from his chokehold.
Dugu Zhao Lie also felt Du Fei's distress, and after punishing him for a while, he suddenly loosened his grip. Du Fei fell heavily to the ground, coughing violently, and desperately gasped for several mouthfuls of air. It wasn't until much later that he finally caught his breath.
"Have you found a way to unlock the iron chains on my limbs?" Du Guo Zhuo Lie said in a low voice. Although it was a low voice, there was an aura of intimidation emanating from his tone, and Du Fei, who was sitting on the ground, could hear it clearly. However, Du Fei did not respond to Du Guo Zhuo Lie's question.
"Your grandfather's!" Du Fei suddenly shouted loudly. Only to see that behind Du Fei, a number of white lights flashed instantly. It was the thousands of knife blades in Du Fei's Thousand Feather Wings. Those knife blades shot towards Dugu Zhuo Lie fiercely. Dugu Zhuo Lie also felt the knife blades shooting from behind Du Fei, and he raised the iron chain in his hand, rotating it quickly. The iron chain formed a defensive wall under Dugu Zhuo Lie's rotation, and the incoming knife blades hit the defensive wall, making a "ding ding dang" sound, but not a single blade pierced through the defensive wall formed by the iron chain, all of them were bounced back. Du Fei saw that his knife blades were all bounced back and looked at Dugu Zhuo Lie with a surprised face, exclaiming in his heart: "This Pure Yang Steel is indeed good stuff." The bounced-back knife blades were also retrieved by Du Fei to his back.
Du Fei stopped his attack and stood still, shouting: "You win." Dugu Zhuo Lie also stopped his movement and flashed in front of Du Fei again. Just as he was about to grab Du Fei, Du Fei dodged to the side and said: "What's wrong, don't you want to be free?"
"Hmm." Dugu Zhāo Liè swung his hand, which was about to grab Du Fei, back behind himself. The iron chain on that hand happened to whip towards a nearby boulder and struck it with a loud "clang". The white iron chain had smashed the boulder into several pieces. When Du Fei saw this scene, his heart tightened again, but he quickly regained his composure.
"I have a way, but it's just that my current strength is not enough." Du Fei said, his words not in language.
"That's all." said Du Guo Zhuo Lie coldly.
"What else?" Du Fei said with a pretended air of ignorance.
"If you little kid can't guarantee your return, come find me again and finish what you're saying. Don't think I don't know." Dugu Zhāo Liè said.
"Indeed, you're an old hand, and I was seen through in an instant. Since that's the case, I'll be straightforward about it. The method is to use my practiced Demon-Subduing Vajra Transformation - I think you know what that is, right? The problem lies in me not having enough yuanqi to dissolve the iron chains on your hands." Du Fei said.
"Just say what you mean, stop beating around the bush." Du Guo Zhuo Lie said with some impatience.
"Borrowing a body to return to the origin." Du Fei said these four words.
"Is it just as simple as borrowing a body and flowing with the origin?" Du Guo Zhuolie asked.
"Do you know about Borrowing Body Flow?" Du Fei asked in a somewhat stunned tone.
"Hahaha. Is there anything in the world that I, Dugu Zhāo Liè, don't know?" Dugu Zhāo Liè laughed loudly towards the sky. Suddenly, he stopped laughing and grabbed Du Fei. Du Fei also immediately shouted to stop Dugu Zhāo Liè's action. Seeing Du Fei's expression, Dugu Zhāo Liè put him down and coldly said: "What else is there?"
"Hey, are you trying to kill me? I need a certain concentration of yuanqi and you don't even know what it is," Du Fei said.
"You're special," Du Guo Zhuolie said. "As long as I touch your body, I can tell the concentration of elements inside you."
"Oh, I see. So that's how it is, but before that, you have to promise me three things." Du Fei said.
"You little scoundrel, you're getting more and more presumptuous!" Dugu Zhāo Liè angrily exclaimed.
