Lü Changbu, Feng Nian, and the others also trembled.
The conflicts of the big figures were terrifying.
Even if he were given ten times the courage, he would not dare to kill important figures in the provincial capital. He usually only bullied those with less influence.
Even if their Martial Arts Association was no match for some super-rich individuals, they wouldn't go as far as to kill someone.
Only Chen Jie dared to offend them so severely. If it were them, they would have surrendered and raised the white flag long ago.
However, Chen Jie also had the right to be arrogant. The fact that he could hold on under the siege of so many experts was enough to shake the heavens and earth.
If Chen Jie could survive today, and this incident spread, then in the future, anyone who dared to offend Chen Jie would have to weigh their own capabilities.
No!
Chen Jie must live! And he must live well!
They were already on the same boat as Chen Jie, sharing glory and suffering together.
At this moment, the attacks from Gu Chong, Gu Bao, and the many experts of the Wen family also arrived.
But Yu Zhongfu was not flustered at all.
"Magic, protective shield!"
With a soft shout from Yu Zhongfu, a light barrier appeared around him, enveloping him.
The attacks from more than ten people caused the barrier to crackle and shake, but it did not break.
Warriors had combat techniques, and cultivators had their own magic.
As a high-ranking figure of the Qingcheng Sect, he was naturally qualified to learn some suitable magic for cultivators.
"What kind of ability is this? It seems like the ability of a mage, but not quite!"
Gu Bao exclaimed in shock at Yu Zhongfu's magic.
The other experts from the Wen family and Gu Chong were no better.
This was clearly not an ability that a martial arts expert should possess.
For a warrior's defense, it was either armor or relying on their powerful physique to protect themselves.
This kind of formation of a protective barrier around the body was indeed very rare.
In fact, warriors could also achieve this.
However, generally only those with extremely high cultivation could do it.
And due to the nature of true qi, it could not be maintained outside the body for too long, or most of its power would dissipate.
Some experts could directly cover their bodies with true qi.
But they had never heard of or seen warriors who could form a barrier like this.
While the effect was good, the consumption was too great.
With such strength, it was better to attack directly.
True qi could only exert its full power when used for offense.
"Damn it! If I hadn't used the Great Divine Palm and still had surplus true qi, I could have broken this barrier directly!"
Gu Chong was in a hurry.
He could clearly feel that with so many people attacking, even with Yu Zhongfu's wondrous ability, it was almost broken.
But it just wasn't quite enough.
Gu Chong felt that this was due to the excessive consumption of direct qi when he was eager to kill Chen Jie just now.
Chen Jie watched this scene with a condensed gaze.
Now he was almost 100% certain that the ability Yu Zhongfu was using was a cultivation ability!
Moreover, his strength should be around the ninth level of Qi Refining.
"There are indeed other cultivators in this world. I wonder how strong they are! I must capture this Yu Zhongfu later and interrogate him thoroughly!"
Chen Jie did not take Yu Zhongfu too seriously, because as Yu Zhongfu made his move, he realized that the opponent's spiritual energy was much more chaotic than his own, and although the protective shield he used was miraculous, its consumption was immense.
He could easily set up a protective shield using formations that consumed several times less energy but had much greater defensive power.
"It's my turn!"
Yu Zhongfu smiled gently.
Then he called out, "Magic, Void Finger!"
Whoosh!
He pointed his finger forward, and a beam of light instantly shot towards Gu Chong.
Not good!
Gu Chong quickly dodged.
The beam of light directly pierced through the floor.
Everyone was greatly alarmed.
This strike was so powerful, and it was all outward projection of true qi.
Gu Chong could do it, but even at his peak, he could only do it a few times.
Because projecting true qi outward was indeed difficult to control and consumed a lot.
"Retreat!"
What shocked everyone even more was that after unleashing the strike, Yu Zhongfu did not pause and pointed another finger at Gu Bao.
Fortunately, Gu Bao reacted quickly and dodged directly.
But the villa was once again riddled with holes.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Beams of light continued to appear.
Gu Chong and Gu Bao, with their strong abilities, could barely dodge.
But the many experts of the Wen family were not so lucky.
Even though they were experts, they were still a step behind the core figures of the Gu family.
In an instant, many people were injured and their mobility was limited.
Gu Chong said, "Friend! We are strangers, with no conflict of interest. Why must we fight to the death? How about we go our separate ways on the main road?"
He knew that continuing to fight would not benefit him in any way, so he proposed a truce.
"No, no, no, Daoist friend, I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't take it to heart. So I can only take all your lives! Therefore, you should all die! Otherwise, this poor Daoist will not be satisfied!"
Yu Zhongfu said with a smile while continuing to attack with the Void Finger.
In just a short moment, he had unleashed more than ten strikes.
But Yu Zhongfu showed no signs of exhaustion.
"You!"
Now Gu Chong realized that they were not a match for Yu Zhongfu.
This was definitely a big shot.
Perhaps he came from an ancient family like theirs.
Otherwise, he would not be so strong.
"You few, finish quickly and join us in killing this person!"
Gu Chong suddenly shouted at the nine people who were fighting Lin Shuang and Jiang Xue.
"Yes!"
Without a word, the nine people unleashed their full strength, wanting to deal with the two girls first.
At this moment, Jiang Xue had very few protective artifacts and offensive artifacts left.
Lin Shuang was also struggling a bit.
After all, these were rare experts among ordinary people.
Even though Lin Shuang and Jiang Xue were not weak, facing nine people at the same time was a bit overwhelming.
In an instant, they showed signs of decline.
"My good son, you are too bold! How dare you bully my woman? Watch me kill you all!"
Seeing this, Yu Feng was heartbroken and immediately made a move.
"This simpering dog is still somewhat useful. Let's retreat first and let them fight amongst themselves!" Jiang Xue had no good feelings for Yu Feng. Seeing that Yu Feng was not weak, she immediately said to Lin Shuang and retreated.
"Alright!"
Lin Shuang knew that Yu Zhongfu and his son had no good intentions towards Chen Jie either, so she chose to retreat.
To their shock, Yu Feng's strength was also incredibly high.
With his first move, more than a dozen palm-sized short swords flew out, directly slitting their throats.
"No!"
Gu Chong was greatly alarmed.
Originally, they were not a match for Yu Zhongfu. Now that the nine people were at a disadvantage, would their defeat not be a matter of time?
Thinking of Yu Zhongfu's attitude, they were very likely to kill them.
