To comprehend all laws and attain immortality

After unleashing several Heavenly Thunder Talismans, Gu Fan had an answer as to whether Wu Chengdao's words were true or false.

Ordinary mid-grade protective magic artifacts will be basically destroyed by three Heavenly Thunder Talismans, and if five Heavenly Thunder Talismans are unleashed at the same time, they are enough to destroy high-grade magic artifacts.

Although the white robe was magnificent, it was just ordinary clothing. The black and gold armor was a high-grade magic weapon, but Gu Fan had just released seven Heavenly Thunder Talismans at the same time.

Gu Fan could see clearly that before the lightning struck, Wu Chengdao swept his halberd horizontally, and the burst of energy shattered one of the lightning bolts. Then the remaining six lightning bolts crashed into the black-gold armor.

An ordinary person, even with armor protecting them, would have been seriously injured and unable to move, but Wu Chengdao was still able to stand and move without any impact.

"It's you?" Wu Chengdao clearly recognized Gu Fan.

"My name is Gu Fan. I was too eager to save people and offended you. I hope you won't mind."

As Gu Fan spoke, he slowly walked towards Li Fengyi and cupped his hands, saying, "May I ask your name, fellow Daoist?"

"The Hundred Refinements of Martial Arts Inherited from the Dao".

Gu Fan nodded, pointing to the dominoes on the ground: "These dominoes belong to you, fellow Daoist. How about we each step back?"

Gu Fan didn't want to fight an opponent who could withstand the Heavenly Thunder Talisman so soon, if possible.

There should still be quite a few disciples left in the Hualing Sect. After rescuing Li Fengyi, the two of them can join forces and even fight against three or five Hualing Sect disciples gathered together, which will definitely increase their efficiency in seizing the dominoes.

"I think...it won't work!"

As soon as Wu Chengdao finished speaking, his body erupted with qi, and his footsteps reverberated as he headed straight for Gu Fan.

Gu Fan appeared nonchalant, but he remained vigilant throughout. Upon seeing this, he immediately used Fire Release Technique to pull Li Fengyi back.

The halberd struck the ground with the force of a massive axe, leaving a muffled thud and causing the ground within a three-zhang radius to cave in and crack.

Just as Li Fengyi came to her senses, she heard Gu Fan transmit his voice: "I'll stall for time, you hurry up and recover your magic power."

The Yin and Yang wheels merged into one, sweeping towards Wu Chengdao with flames, and clashed with the Fangtian Halberd.

After a clang of metal on metal, Wu Chengdao stopped in his tracks, and the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels flew back backward.

Gu Fan narrowed his eyes upon seeing this scene.

The Yin-Yang Twin Wheels were reforged and strengthened, so they would not be easily damaged even when facing talisman treasures. However, after colliding with the Fangtian Halberd, there was not even a mark on the halberd.

This halberd appeared to be carved from black stone, with a rather rough body. Only the blade emitted a cold gleam, making it difficult for Gu Fan to discern its quality at first glance.

"It can't be a magic weapon, can it?"

With a thought to himself, Gu Fan's mind stirred slightly, and the Yin-Yang Wheels separated, transforming into sharp blades that spun around and surrounded Wu Chengdao.

Wu Chengdao wielded his halberd with impenetrable skill; whenever an attack came, he could deflect it with a single swing of the halberd.

After a brief standoff, he seemed to get annoyed by the interference of the two wheels. He let out a low shout and unleashed his inner energy in all directions. His body suddenly swelled up, growing from nearly nine feet tall to three zhang (approximately 10 meters).

The three-zhang-tall Dharma body emitted golden light, and even standing still, it increased the pressure on people.

With each step Wu Chengdao took, the earth trembled, and each punch he landed created a deep crater, the wind from his punch causing Gu Fan's face to sting slightly.

For a time, Gu Fan was chased and ran around in all directions. He could only frequently use the Fire Escape Technique to dodge. At the same time, he slapped several spirit talismans on his body, stacking layers of shields, and then threw out dozens of fireball talismans to bombard his three-zhang-tall Dharma body.

Faced with the incoming fireball, Wu Chengdao's only response was to throw a punch.

His fists were surrounded by a surge of qi, like golden hammers, which collided with the fireballs and produced a sound like the tolling of bells.

Even when the Sun Wheel and Earth Flame Wheel struck the Dharma Body, they could only leave a white mark, which disappeared in the blink of an eye as the Dharma Power was poured in.

"What kind of monster is this Hundred Refinements Sect?!"

Gu Fan cursed under his breath as he dodged a punch, only to see Wu Chengdao pull back his fist without striking again. Instead, he curled his fingers into a claw and pulled sharply backward.

"Azure Dragon Absorbs Water!" Wu Chengdao whispered.

Gu Fan suddenly felt the surrounding air become viscous, as if the space around him was sealed off. A powerful suction force came from Wu Chengdao's palm, and his figure was swept towards his palm.

Just then, a phoenix cry came from behind Wu Chengdao, and a fire phoenix flapped its wings and rose slowly, its beak pecking at Wu Chengdao's back.

Upon closer inspection, the phoenix beak was clearly the tip of a spear. Surrounded by flames, Li Fengyi leaped forward, her eyes blazing, determined to go no further.

After swallowing several pills, Li Fengyi's magical power had recovered considerably. Seeing Gu Fan in danger, she immediately stepped forward.

Even with Wu Chengdao's physical body, he could not withstand being shot in the back of the heart. Cracks spread from the point where the spear tip struck, as if glass had been struck.

Wu Chengdao roared and turned to throw a punch. Even though Li Fengyi raised her gun to block it in advance, Huo Feng was still blown to pieces. He fell like a meteor into the distance, crashing into several large trees.

Before Wu Chengdao could give chase, he saw a phantom of a mountain peak appear above his head and crash down on him. He immediately raised his hands to support the mountain peak.

The ground beneath his feet trembled and roared, and Wu Chengdao's arms trembled as he was forced to his knees.

A phantom mountain, ten feet high, pressed down on his back, rendering him unable to move.

Wu Chengdao looked up and saw Gu Fan retracting his arm that had thrown out the talisman.

"Fellow Daoist, you actually managed to withstand a second-tier spirit talisman, truly impressive!" Gu Fan praised with a cold smile, his tone devoid of any humor.

Wu Chengdao's Dharma body is not only extremely tough, but most importantly, its recovery ability is astonishing. Ordinary attacks can no longer cause damage. Taking advantage of the opportunity gained by Li Fengyi, he decisively threw out this second-tier spirit talisman.

The second-tier spirit talisman, the Mountain-Suppressing Talisman, has the effect of conjuring an illusory mountain peak to suppress those beneath it.

At this moment, Wu Chengdao was unable to move due to the pressure of the mountain peak. Gu Fan recalled the Yin-Yang Twin Wheels, and after the two were combined and infused with magic power, they shone brightly. With the blessing of Samadhi True Fire, they transformed into a blade more than ten feet long, slashing straight at Wu Chengdao's neck.

As the Yin-Yang Wheels drew ever closer in his pupils, Wu Chengdao roared, and his inner energy surged forth like a tsunami.

After a sudden earthquake, dust and smoke rose everywhere.

When the dust settled, Wu Chengdao was seen supporting himself with his halberd. His black and gold armor was shattered, and a gruesome wound ran from his chest to his abdomen, from which blood was gushing.

Gu Fan's pupils contracted slightly, because he saw that the wound on Wu Chengdao's chest was shrouded in a hazy light and was slowly healing!

He quickly took out another talisman from his storage bag and was about to release it.

Seeing that Gu Fan had taken out another talisman, Wu Chengdao immediately turned around and left. He activated the Stepping and Fighting Technique and disappeared in a few leaps, leaving behind drops of blood that fell like plum blossoms.

"He ran away?" Gu Fan was surprised and uncertain. He only put away the talisman after Wu Chengdao's figure disappeared.

Each second-tier spirit talisman is quite expensive to make, so he naturally wanted to save money where he could.

He had to admit that Wu Chengdao's physical strength and recovery ability were unprecedented in his life, and he didn't even know if the other party had any other trump cards.

"If all the disciples of the Hundred Refinements Sect were of this level, they wouldn't be being chased by the Spirit Transformation Sect."

Gu Fan sighed and headed towards the spot where Li Fengyi had fallen.

Following the trail, they found Li Fengyi lying on the ground in a ditch, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, clearly indicating that she was seriously injured.

He stepped forward, lifted Li Fengyi up, and fed her a healing pill. Seeing that her complexion had improved considerably, Gu Fan asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, your injuries are quite severe. Would you like to withdraw from the martial arts competition and recuperate in peace?"

Li Fengyi silently shook her head, closed her eyes, and focused on refining the elixir.

Gu Fan had no choice but to sit and wait.

When Li Fengyi opened her eyes, she saw Gu Fan extending a finger, teasing the gray rat in his palm. A ripple flashed in his eyes as he said, "Thank you for saving me, fellow Daoist."

Gu Fan turned around upon hearing this and smiled, "We're all from the same sect, it's only right, especially since Fellow Daoist Li also contributed a great deal."

Li Fengyi nodded slightly, then took out a crimson pill from her storage bag and swallowed it. Her complexion quickly became rosy, but the pill seemed to have some side effects, causing her to clench her fists, which cracked.

A moment later, Li Fengyi finally let out a breath, her forehead already beaded with sweat.

"I apologize for making a fool of myself, fellow Daoist."

"It's alright. I'm a little curious, what kind of pills are you taking, fellow Daoist?" Gu Fan asked.

Li Fengyi hesitated for a moment before saying, "This pill is called the Blood Refining Pill. It can replenish blood and qi and heal physical injuries. It is also very beneficial for body cultivators. However, the process... is a bit painful."

Gu Fan nodded, then frowned as he looked at Li Fengyi in her martial arts attire and asked, "Speaking of which, as a fellow Daoist with an earth-elemental root, why did you choose the path of body cultivation?"

The two first met on Shenji Peak, listening to Li Kunyuan preach the Dharma. At that time, Li Fengyi had not yet begun her path of physical cultivation.

Upon hearing this, Li Fengyi's face turned embarrassed. She rubbed her head with both hands and said with a wry smile:

"To be honest, fellow Daoist, I actually cultivate a low-grade cultivation technique. As for the various secret techniques within the sect..."

Li Fengyi hesitated, but Gu Fan understood and a hint of pity appeared in his eyes.

"Turns out, he's just not very bright."
