What Is Fairness

Shi Tianlu's words caused a huge uproar.

Some said he was a sore loser and that weapons were a part of one's strength.

Others believed Shi Tianlu was right; a martial arts competition tested true strength, not the weapon.

Back then, Dao Child Jietian relied on the Kunwu Sword to defy the heavens and slay an early-stage Immortal King, and now he was relying on it again to defeat a late-stage Immortal King.

With this kind of approach, they might as well let the Kunwu Sword become the sect master!

The crowd's whispers secretly delighted Shi Tianlu. The momentum is on my side!

"Daozi Ye, do you dare to put down the Kunwu Sword and fight me fairly!" As Shi Tianlu spoke, he swallowed an immortal pill. Immortal light flickered all over his body, and his injuries were completely healed.

"Jie... Hahaha..." Gu Qingfeng suddenly burst into laughter, a hidden demonic light flashing deep in his eyes.

If it weren't for his future grand plans, every single person present today, without exception, wouldn't be able to escape!

"Shi Tianlu, you want fairness? Very well, then this Daozi will teach you what fairness is!

You say it's unfair for me to hold the Kunwu Sword, but I would like to ask you: bullying the weak as the strong, using your late-stage Immortal King cultivation to fight me, is that fair?

I can put down the Kunwu Sword, but do you dare to suppress your cultivation and fight me at the same realm? Do you dare?"

Faced with Gu Qingfeng's aggressive questioning, a flash of anger crossed Shi Tianlu's face, and his eyes flickered.

Naturally, he didn't dare to fight at the same realm.

Dao Child Jietian was known as the number one genius, and he relied on much more than just the Kunwu Sword. His own foundation was incredibly profound, possessing countless secret arts and divine abilities. Shi Tianlu knew this very well.

"Hmph, why should I suppress my cultivation to fight you? My strength was gained through my own bitter cultivation, while your Kunwu Sword was merely picked up. Are they the same?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd was instantly shocked by Shi Tianlu's shamelessness.

In truth, Shi Tianlu also knew this made him lose a lot of face, but he had no choice. In the face of the sect master position, what did a little face matter?

At this moment, a mysterious smile tugged at the corner of Gu Qingfeng's mouth. "Interesting."

Originally, he had been anxious to end this battle, but he couldn't stop Shi Tianlu from relentlessly courting death!

Now, he was no longer in a hurry. He was going to teach Shi Tianlu a severe lesson.

"Since you want to play, this Daozi will play with you properly."

Saying so, Gu Qingfeng put away the Kunwu Sword, stood with his hands behind his back, and looked down at Shi Tianlu with disdain.

Shi Tianlu felt stung by his gaze and immediately snorted coldly, "I won't take advantage of you either."

He flipped his palm, and the wooden sword in his hand was also put away.

"Boy, I'll let you strike first!"

The two of them had completely torn off all pretense by now; one called the other directly by name, and the other didn't even use the title of Daozi anymore.

A sneer flashed across Gu Qingfeng's lips as he said indifferently, "Fall."

He inexplicably said the word fall, leaving everyone present bewildered, not knowing what Gu Qingfeng meant.

Shi Tianlu was also slightly stunned. Just as he was about to retort, before the words could even leave his mouth, his face suddenly turned pale, and a sweet taste filled his throat.

Pfft!

He actually spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood directly. His entire figure tottered unsteadily before plummeting from the sky with a heavy thud.

He smashed fiercely into the ground, creating a bottomless crater.

The entire audience instantly erupted into an uproar, completely clueless as to what had just happened.

They hadn't seen Gu Qingfeng make a move. He had simply said the word fall, and Shi Tianlu had collapsed.

What kind of divine ability was this!? Law following the spoken word!?

"Elder Shi!!"

One of Shi Tianlu's trusted aides hurriedly rushed into the deep pit and carried him up.

Only then did the crowd realize that Shi Tianlu's face was black, his veins were bulging, and a thick, poisonous aura was churning within his blood vessels.

"This is... the Poison of the Great Dao!!"

A sharp-eyed person cried out in alarm.

"You... you're so despicable! To actually use poison!" Shi Tianlu said tremblingly, the rage in his eyes almost bursting forth.

Up in the firmament, Gu Qingfeng looked down condescendingly at Shi Tianlu. With a highly punchable tone, he said, "Tsk tsk, is Elder Shi refusing to admit defeat again? You said I couldn't use the Kunwu Sword, and this Daozi didn't use it."

"You! Pfft..." Shi Tianlu was so infuriated that he spat out another large mouthful of blood.

"Quick... quick, give me the antidote!"

Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly and immediately flicked his finger. A ray of white light shot into Shi Tianlu's body, and his condition was instantly alleviated.

He wouldn't kill Shi Tianlu. This was just the beginning. Didn't you like to play? Today, I will slowly play you to death.

A moment later, the recovered Shi Tianlu soared into the sky, glaring furiously at Gu Qingfeng.

"Ye Chu, you actually dared to poison me!" Shi Tianlu raged and was about to attack.

Who knew Gu Qingfeng would reply indifferently, "I've poisoned the surrounding ten thousand feet of the void. You've entered the poison zone again. As long as I trigger it slightly, you won't have long to live."

Shi Tianlu's anger immediately stalled, and he didn't dare to make a move.

"Ye Chu! Put away your underhanded methods, you..."

Gu Qingfeng interrupted him directly, "I know what you want to say. You're still not convinced, right? You don't need to say more. I won't use poison anymore. Let's fight."

"You truly won't use poison?" A look of suspicion flashed through Shi Tianlu's eyes.

"So much nonsense. If you aren't going to attack, then hurry up and admit defeat."

"Bastard! You forced me to do this!" Shi Tianlu flew into a rage and was about to attack, but the moment he circulated his magical power, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Because his body was actually slowly petrifying!

Starting from his feet, his skin had already turned an azurite stone color. He could sense that it wasn't just his skin; even his flesh, bones, meridians, and even his divine soul and magical power were petrifying.

Shi Tianlu's expression changed wildly in an instant as he exclaimed, "What kind of method is this! Stop it at once!"

In the time it took to speak, his entire lower half had turned to stone.

This scene directly dumbfounded the crowd. Had Shi Tianlu lost again!?

Three consecutive defeats in such a short amount of time?

Dao Child Jietian's methods were simply too bizarre.

Hearing Shi Tianlu say stop, Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly and directly halted his actions.

The petrification momentum instantly dissipated, and Shi Tianlu returned to his original state once more.

"Didn't you say you wouldn't use poison!?" Shi Tianlu glared furiously.

Gu Qingfeng spread his hands. "Elder Shi's old eyes are truly dimming. This isn't poison; it's a curse."

Having devoured countless family members, he had long since mastered the power of curses to perfection. Or rather, he was well-versed in all sorts of demonic methods.

Coupled with devouring Yan Lingxue's curse power, as well as portions of curses from other forbidden zones.

When it came to the Dao of Curses, he could be called the number one person in the Fallen Star Abyss. Cursing a mere Immortal King was incredibly easy.

"A curse!?" Shi Tianlu's face turned alternately green and pale. "The dignified Dao Child of the Jietian Sect, can you only rely on these underhanded methods against an enemy? If it isn't poison, it's a curse. Do you dare to use some orthodox methods!"

After these words were spoken, the crowd's expressions as they looked at Shi Tianlu changed, becoming incredibly strange and disdainful.

Because the facts were right in front of them: no matter what, Shi Tianlu had already been defeated by Gu Qingfeng three times. Three whole times!

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't have the face to speak anymore and would have admitted defeat and left long ago.

"Alright, I'll do as Elder Shi says." Gu Qingfeng smiled faintly, agreeing with refreshing readiness.

Shi Tianlu, however, couldn't shake the feeling that the smile harbored malicious intent.

He stressed once again, "You said it yourself. No using those demonic methods! A dignified..."

"Elder Shi, if you are scared, then just go back. Why waste your breath on so much nonsense?" Gu Qingfeng interrupted.

To deal with a mere late-stage Immortal King expert, he, Gu Qingfeng, had ten thousand different ways.
