I am a swordsman in a strange city

Chapter 99 The Dispute Has Been Determined
"Well, these young people these days are really too bold. Maybe I haven't been cultivating my character lately? Since so many people are watching today, that's fine, let everyone take this as a warning." Gu Feng was furious.

Since joining the company, he has always been dominant because his profession is [Shura]. His innate ability is the Shura Body, which makes him invulnerable to blades and spears. Even ordinary firearms are difficult to seriously injure him unless a high-powered firearm hits a vital point.

The innate abilities brought by the Asura body include invulnerability to blades and spears, extremely strong regenerative abilities, faster recovery when consuming fresh blood, greater speed and strength, a stronger perception of ghosts and monsters, and a certain spatial awareness even when entering some inverted and illusory spaces.

Therefore, the [Asura] class is very powerful; the Asura body alone brings so many corresponding abilities.

Moreover, he can combine it with other abilities.

Ji Huidao has some knowledge of ancient styles. He came here as the chief instructor and has learned about all the other spirit catchers.

Besides the abilities granted by the Asura Body, the Ancient Style character also possesses other combined abilities, namely [Heart-Piercing Hand], [Mind-Stealing Technique], [Dreamless One], [Soul Eater], and [Sword Technique].

He knew that this [Heart-Piercing Hand] ability was both simple and powerful. Once someone was hit by his [Mind-Controlling Technique], he could directly rip out their heart. Furthermore, [Dreamless] prevented him from being killed in dreams or being affected by illusions, and [Soul Eater] allowed him to absorb people's souls to strengthen himself.

As for swordsmanship, needless to say, it's usually something he uses in a final, desperate fight.

As a spirit catcher, Gu Feng is undoubtedly very strong. He has a great reputation and his combat skills are very powerful, whether dealing with monsters or people.

Pei Ju is just a twenty-year-old young man with little experience in combat, so how could he be a match for him?

However, Ji Huidao did not stop him, because Pei Ju insisted on coming to find Gu Feng, not for his own sake, but to stand up for his friend. He knew that he couldn't stop him at this time, and if he did, he would probably be resented by him.

Moreover, in Ji Huidao's view, everyone has to pay the price for their choices, whether it is life, reputation, or anything else.

"Should we find a place?" Ji Huidao asked.

When Ji Huidao was young, it was a time of chaos. He fought and killed many people back then. Such things are rare now and have become more regulated. However, if you were to encounter such a thing, it would still get your blood pumping.

"It feels so good to be young," Ji Huidao thought to himself.

Pei Ju had already gripped the hilt of his sword and said, "Since we've met on a narrow path, why bother changing locations?"

"Then, let's settle this once and for all," Gu Feng said coldly, wanting to confirm some things.

Although duels in the world of extraordinary professions are becoming more and more standardized, when someone says it's a matter of life and death, then there is a lot of room for manipulation.

He said this because he clearly wanted Pei Ju to say the words "it also depends on life and death".

Pei Ju narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on his sword. Liu Yijia, who was beside him, obviously knew what the next sentence was, and she reached out and grabbed Pei Ju's sleeve.

At this moment, Ji Huidao spoke up, saying, "Now that we have determined who is superior and settled our grievances, what do you say? Let's settle today's matter today."

Clearly, in Ji Huidao's view, no matter what happens to them in the future, they are not allowed to fight to the death here today.

As for fighting, since it's unavoidable, then let's fight, but we need to control the limits.

“Since Coach Ji has spoken, then we can settle our differences and our grudges. If I lose, I will apologize to you and leave with Liu Yijia. If you lose, then you should also apologize and leave.” As soon as Pei Ju finished speaking, someone next to him sneered, “You’re just an unknown nobody. Your punishment after your defeat is the same as that of the Gu Feng big shot. Don’t you find that ridiculous? Why don’t we have a match?”

The person who spoke was one of the people next to Gu Feng, who stepped forward.

Pei Ju sneered and said, "So challenges also require seniority? However, I'm not challenging you, but settling old scores. If Senior Gu Feng feels it's unfair, then let's be fair and decide who's superior and who's dead."

"Okay." Gu Feng immediately agreed. He didn't intend to let Pei Ju go back safely. Although he didn't want to kill Pei Ju directly, after all, killing someone here in front of everyone was not an easy task and would eventually cause trouble.

No sooner had Gu Feng finished speaking than Pei Ju drew his sword.

This sword is not a hard sword, but a soft sword, a prop sword. Although it is made of iron, it can still kill if used by a master swordsman.

As Pei Ju drew his sword, the blade bounced. Gu Feng did not rush to attack, but stood there motionless. However, he had already grasped the hilt of the short knife in his left sleeve.

Pei Ju drew his sword, the thin blade still trembling. He raised the sword and pointed it at Gu Feng, saying, "I started learning swordsmanship at the age of five, and have been doing so for fifteen years. I studied under my grandfather, Pei Jieyang, and was also trained by Senior Sister Yu. I spent five years practicing swordsmanship in the secluded cave. A few days ago, I returned to Hai City. Liu Yijia is my high school classmate. I heard that Senior Gu Feng made things difficult for her. I am indignant and wish to learn from your abilities. I hope you will not hesitate to teach me."

His words were recorded by the cell phone cameras around him. The reason he said that was to tell everyone that he was not being unreasonable, that he was standing up for his classmate, and also to explain his identity and background.

However, he spoke in this way because he was influenced by those few spiritual realms, and he spoke unconsciously.

Gu Feng smiled, a smile tinged with cruelty. He liked this kind of thing; the more perfect a person seemed, the more satisfying it was to destroy them.

He had already devised a perfect plan: to make this arrogant and ignorant young man in front of him spend his life bedridden with illness, never to rise again, and living in regret for the rest of his life.

Just then, Pei Ju, who was standing at the door, suddenly moved. He took a step forward and thrust his sword forward.

This sword strike was white, piercing straight towards Gu Feng, without any sense of mystery, only focusing on speed.

Many people couldn't help but marvel at how daring he was to challenge the ancient style; this sword strike already demonstrated his skill.

Gu Feng didn't care. To him, it was just a simple, fast sword strike that posed no threat.

He even had time to tap the hilt of the knife three times with his fingers.

However, just as he was about to dodge to the side and launch a powerful counterattack, the swiftly thrusting sword suddenly stopped.

The moment he stopped abruptly, a flurry of sword shadows suddenly erupted, enveloping him completely.

His body, which was about to dodge, suddenly stopped, because he didn't know where to hide.

It felt like no matter where you hid, you would be chased and stabbed.
