Battle Through the Heavens: He marries Xun'er, but she refuses to consummate the marriage!

Chapter 157 Zi Yan Breaks Through the Barrier: Anyone who wants to spar with Brother Gu Fei must get past me first!

However, Gu Fei was only at the Dou Zun level, and Gu Qingyang didn't have much confidence in facing Lei Dong, a half-saint.

"Who cares if we can win or not? How will we know if we don't try?"

Gu Yao made the decision immediately, and then got up to go find Gu Fei.

Ever since that Grand Tournament, Gu Yao has greatly admired Gu Fei and regarded Gu Fei as the goal he would pursue in his life.

In his heart, Gu Fei is undoubtedly the number one among the younger generation.

"Let's give it a try anyway!"

Gu Qingyang followed closely behind Gu Yao, speeding towards the mountain where Gu Fei was.

……

The mountain where Gu Fei is located.

Zi Yan's absorption of the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit was nearing its end, and she no longer needed Gu Fei's help. Gu Fei had a day of leisure and was able to replenish some of the energy he had expended over the previous month.

"When Ziyan comes out of seclusion this time, she will probably look very different."

Gu Fei looked at Zi Yan, who was still absorbing energy, and smiled slightly as he recalled the mature girl he had briefly met in the Pill Realm.

After fully absorbing the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit, Zi Yan will grow physically.

"Someone's there!"

Gu Fei looked outside and sensed several figures rushing towards him. Instantly, he appeared in the sky above the mountain peak in a flash.

"Is it the two of them?"

After recognizing the newcomer, Gu Fei's eyes showed a hint of doubt.

"What are you doing here in such a hurry?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Qingyang, Gu Yao, Gu Zhen, and the others exchanged glances and gave each other a helpless smile.

"To my shame, when the Thunder Clan delegation came to visit the Ancient Clan, their younger generation challenged our youth, but..."

"None of us are a match for a man named Lei Dong. His strength has now reached the level of a half-saint."

"A demigod..."

Gu Fei's eyes flickered.

The strength of a half-saint is absolutely outstanding among the younger generation of the ancient clans. It is normal that they are no match for a half-saint.

"So you've come here hoping I'll take action?" Gu Fei asked directly.

"That's right. After much thought, we realized that you are the only one who can restore the honor of the ancient clan."

"However, I have little interest in competing and fighting."

Gu Fei shook his head and declined, as he was not the kind of person who liked to show off.

He won't challenge anyone unless there's a real need.

Moreover, he might not even be able to defeat Lei Dong.

The gap between a Half-Saint and a Dou Zun is like a chasm. Although Gu Fei has considerable ability to fight beyond his level, Lei Dong is also a genius. So-called fighting beyond one's level is only for some ordinary level experts.

Moreover, he was quite exhausted from continuously refining the Dragon-Phoenix Crystal for Zi Yan during this period, and his poor condition made his chances of winning even smaller.

Gu Qingyang and Gu Yao stood there with grim expressions. Their initial worry that Gu Fei would be no match for Lei Dong was clearly unnecessary, because Gu Fei had no intention of making a move at all.

"Gu Fei, this concerns the reputation of the younger generation of our Gu clan. We should fight for it no matter what." Gu Qingyang wanted to try again.

"Brother Qingyang, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but I really have no interest in this."

Gu Zhen was displeased to see that Gu Fei was so resolute, not even giving him a chance.

"I've long heard that Gu Fei of the Ancient Clan is a rare genius; I wonder if we'll have the chance to spar today!"

The voice was very familiar to Gu Qingyang and the others, but unfamiliar to Gu Fei.

Gu Fei looked up at the sky and saw a group of people dressed in silver robes appear.

The leader looked down at Gu Fei without saying a word, but countless mouths chattered incessantly around him.

"Are you afraid to accept the challenge?"

"Even the number one genius of the ancient clans is nothing more than this!"

"Hahaha, he's just a mere Dou Zun. Compared to Brother Lei Dong, he has no chance at all. It's wise of him not to fight. Why invite humiliation upon himself?"

"According to you, I would call him a hero, because a hero is one who understands the times!"

The Lei Clan members kept mocking Gu Fei, and some even directly insulted him, hoping to provoke him.

As long as Gu Fei chooses to fight, Lei Dong's goal will be achieved.

With the arrival of the Lei Clan disciples, the entire mountain peak immediately became lively.

A steady stream of members of the ancient clans came to watch, and even Xun'er was gazing into the distance.

They all wanted to see how Gu Fei would deal with this predicament. After all, the difference in cultivation level was obvious. If he fought, Gu Fei didn't have much of a chance of winning. But if he didn't fight, Gu Fei would lose a lot of face this time.

This is Lei Dong's open strategy.

Listening to those people's heated arguments, both Little Fairy Doctor and Cai'er frowned.

They were all worried about Gu Fei, after all, he had been working too hard the previous month, and his condition must not be very good now.

They wanted to help Gu Fei, but their strength was too weak, so how could they help her?

"Brother Gu Fei...please don't agree today. Let's wait until you've recovered!"

Little Fairy Doctor and Cai'er stepped forward and grasped Gu Fei's hand, hoping he wouldn't agree.

Both women were stunning beauties who could amaze the world. Their appearance immediately attracted some envious glances. The Lei Clan never expected that Gu Fei would have such good fortune with women.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing..."

Gu Fei smiled at the two women, then his gaze fell on Lei Dong.

Clearly, Lei Dong was the instigator of this incident.

"A demigod...?"

"Even a demigod isn't a true saint..."

Gu Fei stared directly at Lei Dong, showing no fear whatsoever despite Lei Dong's strength.

Lei Dong was greatly shocked by Gu Fei's composure and couldn't help but think more highly of him.

"Gu Fei, do you dare to fight me!"

Gu Fei's composure ignited Lei Dong's fighting spirit, so he stopped suppressing his anger and directly declared war on Gu Fei.

Gu Fei was not afraid. Since they had already come to his doorstep, how could he not fight?

Just as he was about to step forward to fight, a clear and pleasant voice suddenly rang out.

"If you want to challenge Brother Gu Fei, you'll have to get past me first!"

As soon as the voice fell, a beam of purple-gold light suddenly shot into the sky from the bamboo building.

Immediately afterwards, a graceful figure slowly emerged, bathed in purple-gold light, and a terrifying pressure approached step by step.

The woman who appeared wore a purple-gold robe, on which dragons and phoenixes danced as if they were alive, exuding an undisguised noble aura. Her slender body was tall and graceful, and her long purple hair cascaded down like a waterfall, spreading over her slender waist and then hanging down to her pert buttocks.

The woman was extremely beautiful. Her original purple eyes had now turned into a purple-gold color, making her mysterious and bewitching.

Under the gaze of those purple-gold eyes, even heaven and earth seemed to yield.

Zi Yan is no longer the little girl she once was.

Instead, she underwent a complete transformation into a stunningly beautiful and mature girl.

All eyes were initially captivated by Zi Yan's noble aura, but then suddenly focused on what was behind her.

There, a pair of purple-gold wings, each about ten feet long, were gently fluttering.

As its wings flapped, faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard, shaking one's soul.

"This is... Zi Yan?"

Cai'er was somewhat lost in thought when she sensed the familiar aura emanating from the woman.

When Little Fairy Doctor learned that she was actually Zi Yan, she looked at Zi Yan in shock. Indeed, this woman had many of Zi Yan's scents.

Besides maturity.

"So soon? I thought I'd have to wait a few more days..."

Although Gu Fei had anticipated Zi Yan's changes, he was still somewhat stunned when he saw such a huge contrast again.

"Is it pretty?" Zi Yan looked at Gu Fei and gave her a charming look.

This girl may look grown up, but she's still a little girl at heart.

In the sky, Lei Dong looked at Zi Yan, who had suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and his face was extremely ugly.

Because he could sense that Zi Yan's strength was several times greater than his, and her aura was almost on par with that of the two elders from the Lei Clan.

"Could she be a Dou Sheng, and at least at the three-star level?"

Lei Dong felt a sudden increase in pressure. Just then, Zi Yan's gaze swept in his direction.

"Who was it that said they wanted to challenge Brother Gu Fei? He's practically my mentor. Anyone who wants to challenge my master should spar with me first!"
