Chapter Fifteen: Kill

  Gu Fei suddenly stopped, enlightened by Ning Cheng's words. Ning Cheng was someone he had to kill. Ning Cheng wasn't wrong, the king had promised in front of many people that no one could kill Ning Cheng without reason, but what if he had a reason?

  Ning Cheng, you're indeed eloquent. I'm challenging you to a duel for slapping me without reason. The dueling platform is over there. If you don't dare go, first crawl out from under my grandfather's pants and then say ugly girl...

  "Gu Fei, you're a three-layer Qi gatherer, yet you dare to challenge a one-layer Qi gatherer. Don't you know shame?" said Zhuang Shijie with some anger.

  Gu Yiming said calmly, "Zhuang Shijie, I'm going to say something fair and square, not because Gu Fei is my brother. A student from the first layer of Qi gathering dared to slap a student from the third layer of Qi gathering, let alone Gu Fei considering the rules of the college, it's a formal challenge to Ning Cheng. Even if he killed Ning Cheng directly, it would be Ning Cheng's own fault."

  Ning Cheng burst out laughing, directly interrupting Gu Yi Ming's words, "You two trash, stop chattering in front of me. Are you challenging me? I accept."

  Heng is a dead word, it's better to get rid of Gu Fei before dying and take a breath.

  "Ning Cheng, you've only just gathered your strength, and now you're going to duel with Gu Fei on the arena... that's a dead end..." Zhuang Tanyan knew Ning Cheng had no choice, but she couldn't help saying something.

  Ning Cheng was even clearer that he had no choice, and with a clenched fist, he said to Zhuang Tianya, "Thank you, Senior Sister Zhuang, for helping me several times. If Ning Cheng doesn't have the opportunity, then so be it. But if Ning Cheng has the chance in the future, I will definitely repay Senior Sister Zhuang."

  "Hmph, trash only seeks out opponents weaker than themselves. How about a match with me, Hou?" Another disdainful voice rang out.

  This person is also familiar to Ning City, and it was precisely the one who was selected by Cang Qin Academy to join Meteorite Academy, seemingly named Hou Chuan. He's a genius, usually only focusing on cultivation. He happened to be walking out of the academy gate, which is why he couldn't help but mock him with a sentence.

  Gu Yiming's face looked unpleasant, if it were someone else, he would have taught him a lesson long ago. But facing Hou Chuan, he didn't dare to, not to mention that Hou Chuan's cultivation was no worse than his, even with Hou Chuan's current status, he didn't dare to make a move. A student of the Meteorite Academy, who would he dare to touch?

  Ning Cheng clenched his fists and said to Gu Fei, "You challenged me, I accepted. Since I'm the one being challenged, of course I can choose the rules for this duel."

  Gu Fei said disdainfully, "You choose, no matter which duel method you choose, I, Gu Fei, will accept it."

  "Alright, I'll hold back a bit. If we were to have a magic duel, it would be unfair. But I'm still confident in my speed. Let's have a race instead. We'll start at the same time from the city gate of Cang Le City and head towards the Da An Forest. Whoever gets caught up by the other has to surrender and get killed." Ning Cheng said nonchalantly.

  As soon as Ning Cheng's words came out, everyone understood that he wanted to escape through this method. However, this was a bit too far-fetched; if escaping was that easy, then what was the point of cultivating? Some onlooking students even snickered at Ning Cheng's naive thinking.

  Hou Chuan shook his head and turned to leave the crowd, quickly disappearing into the distance. If it were him, even if he had to die, he would want to have a final showdown with Gu Fei on the dueling platform. He would never think of escaping and being humiliated, only to be killed in the end. So he had lost all interest in the duel in Ning City, and instead wanted to go to Cang Le City to buy some things, and later went to Hua Zhou, where he also had a memorable experience.

  Zhuang Tianya was also speechless and shook her head, she didn't expect Ning Cheng to come up with such a childish method. With just one layer of aura gathering, even if the speed was fast, could he outrun three layers of aura gathering?

  Gu Fei clearly understood Ning Cheng's meaning and sneered, thinking of escaping from his own hands? Don't dream about it. However, he didn't object to Ning Cheng's method of duel, even though Ji Luofei's aunt was a fake threat, but on the surface, everyone had to make an appearance. Moreover, the King of Cang Qin Country had already said that they were not allowed to trouble Ning Cheng without reason.

  Now Ning Cheng himself wants to escape like a mouse, then he will chase him to a deserted place and kill Ning Cheng, and then say that Ning Cheng ran away, which is exactly what he means. He dares to be sure that even if others know that Ning Cheng was killed by him, no one will question his words afterwards.

  As expected, Gu Fei saw his brother Gu Yi Ming nodding at him, apparently also wanting him to do Ning Cheng in a place where no one was around.

  "Alright, I agree with your plan for a duel outside the city." Gu Fei's eyes flashed with a hint of murderous intent as he left first.

  Ning Cheng let out a breath of relief. Although he was certain that Gu Fei would agree, he was afraid that others might see through his true cultivation level. If someone found out that he was at the third layer of Qi gathering instead of the first layer, then his plan would be ruined and no one would agree to let him participate in the city's running competition.

  Zhuang Tianya no longer had the mood to watch Ning Cheng being killed, she was about to leave Cang Qin country and needed to go back and explain things to her family. However, those idle students of Cang Qin country all wanted to see the excitement and find out if Gu Fei would kill Ning Cheng as soon as he ran out.

  ……

  The students of Cangqin Academy are highly respected in Cangle City, and so many students going out of the city immediately caused a sensation. The main road leading to the outside of the city has already been cleared.

  More than half a time later, the group finally walked out of Cang Le City. Looking back at the ancient and simple Cang Le City, Ning Cheng couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Under no obstruction, it took him more than an hour to leave the city. It can be confirmed that even if he and Ji Luo Fei escaped from the pursuit of those two Qi Gathering Sixth Layer cultivators, they would not have been able to safely leave Cang Le City. What he thought before was indeed too naive.

  "This is the last time you'll see Cang Le City in this life, take a look and run away, don't worry, I won't let you run too far." Gu Fei said with a cold smile as he saw Ning Cheng turn his head to look at Cang Le City.

  Ning Cheng didn't even bother to respond, instead turning back to the students who had come out to watch and cupping his fists in a greeting. "Let's begin," he said. "I'll go first. Gu Fei, if you can catch up to me, I'll let you kill me."

  After finishing speaking, Ning Cheng didn't waste any more words and charged out. They had already left the city, it would be strange if he didn't run.

  Gu Fei and Gu Yi Ming saw Ning Cheng's running posture, speed, as well as the strength of his Qi, they knew that he didn't have any other intentions, Ning Cheng just wanted to escape through this method. Unfortunately, Ning Cheng's cultivation was too low, with this skill, even an ordinary cultivator at the first layer of Qi gathering could easily catch up to him and kill him.

  Gu Fei also said to the onlookers, "I'm going to tease a clown."

  After he finished speaking, his figure flashed out, and with just a few movements, he was already very close to Ning City. However, Gu Fei did not immediately stop Ning City, but instead sent a gust of wind blade over, and in an instant, a trail of blood appeared on Ning City's back.

  At this time, everyone had lost interest in watching, Ning City simply thought he could escape, and that's why he came up with such a naive method. Now Gu Fei was completely playing Ning City, what's the point of continuing to watch? Some students turned back to the academy. They followed out because they thought Ning City really had some escaping skills, since he didn't, who would still want to watch?

  Gu Yiming smiled and clenched his fists at everyone, "I'll go take a look."

  He slowly followed behind, saying he was just going to take a look, but his speed was much slower than Ning City.

  There are no friends of Ning City here, the Gu brothers went to kill a person with one layer of aura, and no one wants to join in. If you watched the result in the past, isn't it obvious that you would offend the Gu brothers? Gu Yi Ming slowly followed behind, very obviously just wanting to see who would be so tactless as to follow up.

  Ning Cheng endured being bombarded by Gu Fei's several wind blades, and when he could no longer see the Cang Le City, he finally sped up a bit, but his panting became even more intense.

  Seeing Ning City still speeding up, Gu Fei was puzzled for a moment, but soon felt the lightness of Ning City's footsteps. At this time, Ning City's true energy was in disarray, and he was completely relying on brute force to run.

  "Let's just stop here, Grandfather doesn't have the mood to chase after you anymore." Gu Fei said as he quickened his pace and a knife shadow flashed out.

  Ning Cheng suddenly turned around, retreating instead of advancing. In almost an instant, he dodged Gu Fei's knife shadow. His figure had already reached Gu Fei's right side, and in a flash, a fire blade chopped out.

  Gu Fei didn't take Ning Cheng seriously from the start, and now seeing Ning Cheng suddenly accelerate, he had no idea that he was being deceived by Ning Cheng. Ning Cheng's reaction speed and the aura of his flame blade were absolutely not those of a first-level Qi gatherer, but rather those of a third-level Qi gatherer. Even if it was a third-level Qi gatherer, it would be impossible to wield a flame blade.

  Gu Fei didn't have time to think about how Ning Cheng had reached the third layer of Gathering Qi, he hastily turned his body, wanting to dodge Ning Cheng's flame blade. However, Ning Cheng's flame blade seemed to have grown eyes, directly blasting Gu Fei's arm and half of his chest away.

  "Gu Fei, consider yourself lucky today. I don't have time to deal with you slowly, but I'll take care of your brother later. Take another slash from me..."

  Ning City fired another flame blade, and this time, as soon as the flame blade was fired, he felt an extreme sense of danger.

  Just as his flame blade was about to cleave Gu Fei in two, he felt a tearing pain rising from his lower abdomen, and in an instant it filled his entire body.

  Ning Cheng's heart sank, and he immediately knew he had been ambushed. This was because of his lack of fighting experience, thinking that Gu Fei must be dead, and getting too close to him.

  Gu Fei had secretly calculated Ning Cheng's move before his death, but he couldn't hold on any longer and was split in half by Ning Cheng.

  Ning Cheng gritted his teeth and endured the pain, tearing off his clothes and throwing them to the ground. He then grabbed Gu Fei's corpse and quickly ran forward, leaving a trail of blood behind him. After running for about several hundred meters, Ning Cheng suddenly turned back and changed direction, fleeing at an even faster speed than before, more than ten times faster than when Gu Fei was chasing him.

  Ning Cheng was clear that if he didn't speed up his escape, once Gu Yi Ming arrived, he would really be dead for sure. At this time, he hung the knife that Gu Fei had on his back, and a flame directly charred one of Gu Fei's arms, then after burning Gu Fei's corpse, he threw it into a large lake by the side of the road with great force.
