Chen Tianwen also gleaned the whole story from their conversation.
Gu Fei was originally an orphan taken in by Xing Yu, but after growing up, he betrayed Xing Yu for his own future, causing Xing Yu to be defeated by Saint Desa and almost die.
What angered Chen Tianwen the most was that Gu Fei not only felt no shame, but also spoke righteously and even slandered Xingyu's original purpose in saving him!
Given Chen Tianwen's understanding of Xingyu, his selfless teaching of immortal techniques, and his ability to seal the laws of death for innocent people, how could he possibly have any ulterior motives towards Gu Fei?
However, Chen Tianwen also knew that Xingyu was someone who never bothered to explain himself, but now that they were enemies, Chen Tianwen knew that things could not end well.
Especially since this Gu Fei is a disciple of Saint Desa, a great battle is probably unavoidable from any perspective.
Sure enough, after talking with Xingyu for a while, Gu Fei seemed to have made up his mind and said to Xingyu:
"Saint Lord Xingyu, regardless of who was right or wrong in the past, things have come to this point, and we are now locked in a fight to the death. You and I both know what is hidden in this palace. How about we fight it out in the void?"
Xingyu shook his head and said to Gu Fei:
"I don't want to fight you. I have absolutely no interest in cleaning up your own house now!"
Gu Fei said with a cold smile:
"That's not up to you!"
Xingyu glanced at Gu Fei, sighed again, and said:
"The man next to me is Young Master Chen Tianwen. He can represent me in the battle. And I also think that you are no match for Young Master Chen."
Gu Fei then turned his gaze to Chen Tianwen, looked him up and down, and said:
"So you're Chen Tianwen? A late-stage Immortal Emperor. I remember when Saint Desa announced the hunt for you, you were just a minor Immortal Lord. How have you progressed so quickly! Since Saint Lord Xingyu thinks I'm not worthy to fight him, boy, would you be willing to exchange a few blows with me?"
Chen Tianwen had long since lost any goodwill towards Gu Fei, and coldly replied:
"Absolutely delighted!"
After Chen Tianwen finished speaking, he turned and flew out of the palace, with Xingyu and Gufei following closely behind.
At their speed, the three of them soon arrived in the endless void.
Chen Tianwen and Gu Fei stood facing each other. No matter how much Chen Tianwen looked down on Gu Fei for his opportunistic and treacherous nature, he dared not underestimate Gu Fei's strength in the slightest.
Gu Fei not only followed Xing Yu and received all of Xing Yu's true teachings, but later, after joining the fold of Saint Desa, he was even appointed as Saint Desa's chief disciple.
Therefore, Gu Fei's mastery of immortal arts and control over energy both stemmed from the true teachings of two top-tier sages.
Most importantly, Gu Fei's realm is one level higher than Chen Tianwen's, having reached the Perfect Immortal Emperor realm.
Moreover, since Gu Fei has already secured the Saintly position, he is believed to be not far from reaching the Saintly level. This should be the strongest opponent Chen Tianwen has faced since his debut.
Fortunately, it was in the endless void; otherwise, the two of them could have gone all out in their own universe!
"Kid, make your move!"
Gu Fei stood with his hands behind his back. Although there were many legends about Chen Tianwen, Gu Fei did not take this greenhorn seriously at all.
Chen Tianwen didn't hold back either. He stretched out his hand and transformed it into a sword. The power of chaos condensed into a substance and slashed at Gu Fei. The sword energy was overwhelming and carried countless laws of death.
Seeing the terrifying sword energy, Gu Fei instantly abandoned his contempt and made a series of hand seals, instantly condensing a celestial technique.
Chen Tianwen could tell that the immortal technique Gu Fei was using was also a Dao-level immortal technique, but in Gu Fei's hands, this Dao-level immortal technique was only a hundred feet in size.
This is not to say that Gu Fei is not strong; on the contrary, it further proves that Gu Fei's control over energy is a true inheritance from Xingyu.
Chen Tianwen's sword energy collided with Gu Fei's immortal technique, and the terrifying clash illuminated the endless void as if it were daytime.
After the explosion, the endless void returned to calm.
That last move was a draw between the two!
Chen Tianwen hadn't expected Gu Fei to be so strong. Although Chen Tianwen hadn't used any immortal techniques, that move was a sword technique left behind by the Haotian Sword God.
Almost every move he made was a transcendent immortal technique.
Moreover, he had even used the power of chaos and the law of death, yet he had only managed to fight his opponent to a draw. One can imagine Chen Tianwen's astonishment.
Gu Fei was also shocked. Despite his strength as a Perfect Immortal Emperor, he was unable to gain the upper hand in a battle against a late-stage Immortal Emperor using a Dao-level Immortal Technique.
It seems that the rumors about Chen Tianwen are somewhat credible; this kid named Chen Tianwen is very strong!
Chen Tianwen's mind raced, realizing that now was not the time for a protracted battle, since his cultivation level was lower than Gu Fei's and his energy reserves were also inferior.
If this continues, you'll eventually run out of energy before your opponent does!
"Celestial Technique: Dragon's Might Annihilates the World!"
Chen Tianwen shouted loudly and unleashed the Dragon Clan's top-tier inheritance, Dragon Might Annihilation.
However, Chen Tianwen did not transform into the five-clawed golden dragon form. Although doing so would have enhanced his combat power, Chen Tianwen's greatest strength was still his swordsmanship.
Only by maintaining human form can one unleash their strongest swordsmanship.
At this moment, Gu Fei also took out his Dao-rank immortal artifact. Knowing how powerful Chen Tianwen was, Gu Fei was no longer careless.
On one side, Chen Tianwen was constantly unleashing endless sword intent, while on the other side, Gu Fei was frequently using immortal techniques.
The two were evenly matched, but Gu Fei was not in a hurry. After all, he was a level higher than Chen Tianwen, and the longer the battle went on, the more advantageous he would be.
As for Xingyu, based on Gu Fei's understanding of Xingyu, even if he fought Chen Tianwen to the point of exhaustion, Xingyu would never take advantage of him.
Chen Tianwen understood this principle, but he had already used up almost all the energy he could, yet he still couldn't defeat his opponent.
Although the Silent Five Elements Lotus has not yet been used, it requires a long period of preparation, and given Gu Fei's combat experience, he clearly wouldn't allow himself to achieve his goal so easily.
If I give up using swordsmanship now, Gu Fei might seize the opportunity to severely injure me.
However, Chen Tianwen's energy is being rapidly depleted, and it is believed that he will soon reveal a weakness due to exhaustion.
At that time, with Gu Fei's strength, he will definitely not let this opportunity pass and will surely strike with lightning speed to end the battle!
