The city guards were stunned for a moment before their expressions changed and they prepared to step forward. Gu Feng was someone their City Lord valued highly. If anything were to happen to him, they would probably be punished as well.

"No need."

Dongfang Shang, who was standing to the side, stopped the guards who wanted to rush out. He also wanted to see how strong this Gu Feng had become after being baptized by the Heaven Lake. Would he really have the qualifications to make the City Lord look at him in a new light?

"Fire Element Explosion."

Gu Feng growled. Violent Spiritual Energy gathered in his hand and fiercely smashed down at the Black Gold Tiger.

"Roar!"

The Black Gold Tiger let out a furious roar as a scarlet light bloomed from its eyes. Its friendly claws also fiercely swiped at Gu Feng. A golden light flickered on the foot-large claw. A line appeared on the claw, and dense Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth converged. Then, it collided with Gu Feng's palm.

"Bang!"

As the two sides collided, a muffled sound could be heard. Following that, a huge wave of energy rippled out, breaking all the trees in the surroundings.

Gu Feng's body was also blasted away. He flew backwards for over ten meters before he finally landed on the ground. He staggered as he stabilized his body.

On the other hand, the Black Gold Tiger's body only trembled a few times.

"Again."

Gu Feng wiped away the blood from the corner of his mouth and grinned. His smile contained a trace of madness. Then, his body moved and he pounced towards the Black Gold Tiger. This time, Gu Feng did not use any martial arts. Instead, he punched the Black Gold Tiger.

A man and a tiger collided, and muffled sounds rang out continuously. The two engaged in a battle of pure physical strength.

"Damn, this freak."

The onlookers' eyelids twitched as they saw how Gu Feng had chosen to fight in such a barbaric manner, even going as far as the Black Gold Tiger. When had they ever seen a Pure Body Realm human cultivator fight against a Black Gold Tiger with just his physical strength alone? Was he even human? He was simply a humanoid demon beast.

BOOM!

A man and a tiger collided in a crazy manner, followed by a clear cracking sound. One man and one tiger retreated quickly as well.

"As expected, it is still impossible to compete with the Black Gold Tiger in physical strength."

"Like I said, how could a little brat fight with the Black Gold Tiger over physical bodies. He must have suffered a lot now."

The surrounding troops were filled with sounds of pity. Of course, most of them were mocking him.

"Roar!"

However, what exceeded everyone's expectations was that the huge Black Gold Tiger in front of them would roar. It was a roar of pain and unwillingness. Everyone focused their eyes and saw that the Black Gold Tiger's right claw had already split open, and white bones could be seen inside. However, that claw was still hanging limply, and it was clear that it had been broken.

"Hiss …"

Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air, unable to believe this scene. A human actually relied on their physical bodies to break the Black Gold Tiger's bones. If this got out, who knows how many people would be shocked.

"Cough, cough."

Gu Feng also coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. Clearly, he had suffered quite a heavy injury from the collision earlier.

"I was still overconfident." Gu Feng let out a bitter laugh. He originally thought that after being refined by the Yin and Yang energies in the heavenly lake, his body would become very strong. In the end, he used all his strength to break one of its legs while the Black Gold Tiger was still alive, but he was also severely injured.

"Go up and finish it off."

A trace of shock flashed across Dongfang Shang's eyes as he looked at Gu Feng.

"Swoosh."

Two figures instantly flew out. In their hands was a black spear that exuded a baleful aura. One glance was sufficient to tell that this wasn't an ordinary weapon.

"Roar!"

A bloodthirsty light flashed in the Black Gold Tiger's eyes. The pain from his body made him go completely crazy, directly biting towards the two people.

The two of them were expressionless and fearless. They were trying their best to get rid of them.

"Pfft."

"Pfft."

Two voices sounded as the black spear stabbed into the Black Gold Tiger's chest. Even if its body was tough, it would not be able to stop the long spear's charge. Instantly, it pierced through his body.

"Haaargh!"

Both of them shouted out at the same time. The dense Spiritual Energy followed the spear and rushed into the Black Gold Tiger's body, directly destroying its stomach.

After struggling for a while, the Black Gold Tiger finally stopped breathing.

"Who are these people? They are so powerful."

Gu Feng and the two cultivators behind him were both extremely powerful. This was especially so for his indomitable spirit and his fighting spirit. It wasn't something that an ordinary cultivator could possess.

"This is Yan City Lord Feng Wuji's Tie Yi Guards. They are all chosen, so of course they are not bad." A cultivator from Yan City said proudly.

"Tie Yi Guards, I never thought it would be them!"

Many of the surrounding people's expressions changed. It was obvious that they had heard of the reputation of the Tie Yi Hall's guards.

When the two returned, Gu Feng also took out a Life Recovery Pill from the mustard seed and swallowed it. As the Life Recovery Pill entered his mouth, it instantly turned into a pure medicinal energy that flowed through his limbs and bones. Originally, his injuries from his battle with the Black Gold Tiger were rapidly recovering, and in a few short minutes, the injuries in his body were completely healed.

Gu Feng opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of air. He could not help but sigh in his heart. An Earth Grade pill was indeed an Earth Grade pill. The efficacy of this pill was truly heaven-defying.

"Mr. Dongfang, let's continue on our way."

Gu Feng smiled at Dongfang Shang.

Dongfang Shang froze for a second, he originally wanted to stop and rest, then let Gu Feng rest and continue his journey. He didn't expect that after just a few minutes of consuming the pill, he had already recovered from the shock and became even more energetic than before he was injured.

"The grade of that medicinal pill should not be low." Dongfang Shang thought for a while and thought, "Even high-grade Mysterious rank healing pellets would not have such a miraculous effect. There is only one possibility for such effect, and that is Earth rank."

An Earth rank healing pill required an Earth rank grandmaster to refine. Even among the eight great sects, the status of a grandmaster alchemist was extremely prestigious. The difficulty of refining an Earth rank pill was also very high, and the failure rate was very high.

Those genius disciples were only given one pill due to luck, and what Gu Feng just casually swallowed was an Earth rank pill. Was the status of this small clan's partner really just an ordinary disciple of the Blue Martial Hall?

With Feng Wuji by his side, he naturally understood Gu Feng's identity.
