Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

"Esteemed brother, may I ask how to address you? My name is Zhu Ronglian, and I am from the Zhu Rong Clan." With a face slightly pale, Zhu Ronglian turned to look at Zhu Bufan and gave an extremely forced smile, then spoke to Zhu Bufan.

"My name is Zhu Bufan." Although Bufan didn't understand why Zhu Ronglian suddenly came over to introduce himself, he was somewhat concerned about what Zhu Ronglian had mentioned.

"Zhu Bufan, is it?" As soon as the words fell, a loud noise came from the arena. Then, everyone saw that the winner and loser had been decided on the arena. The victor, covered in wounds, was barely standing, while the loser lay severely injured on the ground, looking like it would take at least ten days and a half a month to heal.

"The arena is now vacant, Zhu Bufan, are you interested in going up and trying out your skills?" Seeing that the battle on the arena had ended, Zhu Ronglian suddenly turned his head to Zhu Bufan and asked. There was no provocation in his expression; it seemed he simply wanted to compete with Zhu Bufan.

"No, you can't!" Frowning in surprise, it was Huo Ling who stepped forward to stop him. Seeing Huo Ling suddenly come out and stop them, both Zhu Bufan and Zhu Ronglian were taken aback. Bufan was surprised that Huo Ling would speak up at this time, while Zhu Ronglian's jealousy surged again because Huo Ling was clearly worried about Bufan.

"Hehe, Miss Huo Ling, you're being too cautious with your friend, aren't you? We just want to have a friendly match; it won't escalate to a fight to the death," Zhu Ronglian said, his heart filled with jealousy at Huo Ling's caring attitude towards Bufan. Yet, he did not show it, instead contorting his mouth into a bitter smile to convey his thoughts.

"Huo Ling, what's gotten into you today?" Approaching Huo Ling, Zhu Bufan whispered to her, their interaction like that of intimate lovers. Seeing this scene, Zhu Ronglian couldn't suppress the jealousy in his heart any longer, and a killing intent surged from within him.

"Idiot! He's a Magic Practitioner at the Eighth Layer Heaven of Bone Forging! Even Wang Hui doesn't stand a chance against him, and what's more, he's a Magic Practitioner who harnesses Fire Element Spiritual Energy. His destructive power and lethality are astonishing; even I can't beat him!" Seeing Bufan looking doubtfully at her and then at Zhu Ronglian, Huo Ling urgently clarified in a whisper to Bufan.

Hearing what Huo Ling said, Bufan finally understood why Huo Ling wanted to prevent him from going on stage. As a Martial Cultivator at the Eighth Layer Heaven of Bone Forging, Bufan felt he had a chance to fight considering his many powerful Martial Arts, but facing a Magic Practitioner would be dangerous. Magic Practitioners' strength had been amply demonstrated by Huo Ling before, and this time, Zhu Ronglian was a notoriously destructive Fire Element Magic Practitioner.

"What's wrong? You're not scared, are you, Zhu Bufan? Don't worry. I am several years older than you and my cultivation is above yours, I will naturally control my power. I just want to see to what extent your cultivation and strength have reached, no need to worry." Although Zhu Ronglian's words had no provocative intent, they sounded grating to Bufan. Zhu Ronglian's attitude was as if he was giving instructions, which irked Bufan considerably.

"Since you, Zhu Ronglian, have such an interest, I would be remiss not to oblige, but..." Saying this, Zhu Bufan suddenly paused and looked at Zhu Ronglian.

"But what?"

"But I worry that I might not be able to hold back and end up hurting you, which wouldn't be good." A flash of coldness glinted from the depths of his eyes as Bufan spoke.

"Don't worry. If it indeed comes to that, it would simply mean that I, Zhu Ronglian, am not skilled enough and have nothing to complain about." Zhu Bufan's words caused Zhu Ronglian's brows to twitch, and the smile that had been curling up his lips fell; evidently, he was angered by Bufan's boastful words.

"Why are you doing this? I've already said it's unwinnable!" Seeing Zhu Bufan openly provoking Zhu Ronglian, Huo Ling's anger almost exploded. But Bufan's next words made it impossible for Huo Ling to stay mad, "Don't worry, I am no longer the person I was before. It's a good opportunity to show you how much I've grown over half a year, so there is no need to worry. Also, when I go on the arena, it will be you who needs to keep an eye on Emperor Yan that girl. She has been feeling impulsive lately, always looking for trouble."

"Suit yourself! Rest assured, I will keep an eye on that girl, Emperor Yan." Annoyed, Huo Ling gave Bufan a glare, turned her head away, and stopped paying attention to him. Although Wang Hui was also worried about Bufan, seeing how they were interacting, he could only smile wryly and shake his head. Emperor Yan, the girl, stood by silently, not speaking or voicing an opinion, her large eyes whirling around as if she was hatching some mischief.

Approaching Bufan, Wang Hui whispered, "Brother Zhu Bufan, remember, if you feel you're outmatched, immediately jump off the arena, then he won't be able to continue fighting, remember! Otherwise, he'll have an excuse to beat you severely. Also, be careful yourself."

"I understand, don't worry Master Wang." With a smile and a nod, Zhu Bufan jumped onto the arena after passing through the barrier. In the arena, Zhu Rong was already awaiting Zhu Bufan's arrival.

"Miss Huo Ling has already told you, right? About me being a Magic Cultivator." With a cold gaze, Zhu Rong's body began to emit heat, and his originally black hair slowly turned fire-red, eventually transforming into a semblance of fierce flames.

"Appear!"

Zhu Rong's hand beckoned, and a triangular flag floated above his palm. The flag looked worn and ragged, like a rag, but the Fire Element Spiritual Energy it contained was so powerful it made one's heart tremble.

"Summoning Flame Banner! This is my Magic Artifact!"

As soon as Zhu Rong's words fell, flames whirled around the Summoning Flame Banner, as if showing off its heat to Zhu Bufan with circles of fire continually demonstrating their power.

"Summoning Flame Banner? That's quite interesting." Feeling the formidable presence unleashed by Zhu Rong, Zhu Bufan knew he was facing the most challenging Cultivator he had encountered so far. His expression darkening, Zhu Bufan drew the Emperor Yan's sword and summoned the Purple Cloud, and a burst of purplish-red Blood Spirit Poison Fire violently surged forth from his body.

The moment the Blood Spirit Poison Fire emerged, the flames on the Summoning Flame Banner dimmed instantly. Clearly, the Blood Spirit Poison Fire was of a higher rank than the flames emitted by the Summoning Flame Banner. Seeing the purplish-red Blood Spirit Poison Fire on Zhu Bufan, Zhu Rong's previously calm face finally took on a serious expression.

"Unexpectedly, you're also a Fire Controller, this should make things more interesting!" After speaking, Zhu Rong quickly formed Hand Seals, and the Summoning Flame Banner in front of him started spinning rapidly and enlarging. In no time, the Summoning Flame Banner turned into a large flagpole nearly two meters long.

"True Flame Technique? True Fire Burning Sky!" Zhu Rong, holding the Summoning Flame Banner, waved the flag, and flames surged toward Zhu Bufan, looking as terrifying as a burning sky. The entire arena was engulfed and covered by intense flames.

"Chenjiang Duanliu Break? Overwhelming Sky Formation!"

Facing the overwhelming waves of fire unleashed by his opponent, Zhu Bufan did not retreat and instead used the Overwhelming Sky Formation. Sword energy whirled through the sea of fire like a warrior cutting through a bloody path, resisting the engulfing flames. With Blood Spirit Poison Fire at his disposal, Zhu Rong's flames couldn't easily penetrate Zhu Bufan's sword energy. Instead, due to the hierarchical difference between the flames, Zhu Rong's True Fire was even suppressed. With one strike, the two matched each other evenly, neither able to overcome the other.

"So it is, being overpowered in flames has never happened before among my peers in combat. Taking this as an experience, it's not bad." Zhu Rong, despite his flames being suppressed, showed no sign of panic or resentment, exhibiting good temperament. With a slight smile, Zhu Rong suddenly raised the waving flag.

"True Fire Technique? Wind Summoning and Fire Gathering!"

In an instant, the raging flames swirling around were swept up by a sudden gust of wind, and to Zhu Bufan's surprise, the fire transformed into a towering Fire Tornado with Zhu Bufan at its center, wrapping him inside.

"Always, wind and fire coexist, with the wind aiding the fire's might and the fire taking advantage of the wind's force, that's the idea," said Zhu Rong calmly, watching Zhu Bufan wrapped in the fiery vortex.

"A fine example of the wind aiding the fire's might and the fire taking advantage of the wind's force, Wave-Rolling Formation!" A deep voice echoed over the arena as the swirling fiery tornado suddenly twisted and expanded. With a 'boom!' the flamTORNado was shattered into scattered flames, and a tornado-like sword energy broke through.

"When it comes to spinning, I've never thought that I'd be inferior to you." With the Wave-Rolling Formation retracted, Zhu Bufan stood midair on a Fire Lotus, looking indifferently at Zhu Rong.
