Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

"Evil Technique? Blood-colored Pan-Nie!!" Eight fire dragons charged with the force of thunder directly towards Zhu Bufan in the middle. Zhu Bufan waved his Emperor's Hatred, his figure gradually fading, and the phoenix formed by blood-colored Sword Qi appeared in front of everyone in an instant.

"How can mere shadows of fire dragons match the might of my Blood Phoenix?" Zhu Bufan's deep voice echoed over the arena, as the blood-colored phoenix spread its wings and constantly fought with the eight encircling fire dragons. Despite being at an absolute disadvantage in numbers, the blood-colored phoenix, which possessed the ability to regenerate constantly, maintained an absolute advantage because it could instantly recover no matter how much it was weakened. Gradually, the eight fire dragons began to be weakened.

"True Fire Technique? Dragon Dance Cover!!"

Seeing the eight fire dragons gradually weakened, Zhu Rong, who was flaring with intense fire, once again swung the Summoning Flame Banner. The eight fire dragons immediately stopped their assault and instead swirled around Zhu Bufan, and a semi-transparent, orange-red shield resembling a large bell faintly appeared beside Zhu Bufan.

"If a fierce attack won't work, I'll just trap you to death!"

The air inside the Fire Dragon Shield rapidly vanished, leaving only poisonous smoke. The trapped blood-colored phoenix constantly slammed its wings against the outer walls of the Fire Dragon Shield, only to be rebounded back.

"Phoenix Soaring!!"

After several unsuccessful charges, Zhu Bufan's voice rang out again. Immediately, the blood-colored Sword Qi phoenix inside the Fire Dragon Shield emitted a long phoenix cry. Then, the blood-colored phoenix tensed its body and fiercely slammed into the walls of the Fire Dragon Shield.

'Boom!!!'

A massive muffled sound echoed, and the moment the sound arose, it felt as though everyone's hearts were fiercely hammered. Moreover, the previously indestructible phantom of the Fire Dragon Shield now showed signs of cracking.

'Crack!!'

After an ineffective strike, the blood-colored phoenix fiercely collided again with the Fire Dragon Shield. Unable to withstand two consecutive fierce hits, the whole shield shattered into countless pieces. After a cry, the blood-colored Sword Qi phoenix rushed directly towards Zhu Rong. Even before getting close, the sharp and violent aura of the blood-colored Sword Qi phoenix caused Zhu Rong to feel unsettled.

"True Fire Technique? Borrowing Fire to Return Fire!"

Sensing the destructive power of the blood-colored phoenix, Zhu Rong did not dare to delay even slightly. After casting a Borrowing Fire to Return Fire in front of him, Zhu Rong quickly retreated, riding on a wave of fire. Holding the Summoning Flame Banner as if wielding a spear, he continuously moved it around; upon closer inspection, one would see Zhu Rong was using the banner's pole to draw mysterious runes in front of him.

The showdown between the two had already left the audience below dumbfounded. They even doubted whether they were watching a duel between two Magic Practitioners, because such an intense and splendid battle could definitely not be displayed by a Bone Forging Realm Martial Cultivator and a Magic Practitioner.

"I say, they both must be Magic Practitioners, right? Otherwise, how could a Martial Cultivator perform such Martial Arts?"

"Exactly, that Martial Arts was too exaggerated! No, that must be a spell, right? It's impossible for a Bone Forging Realm Martial Cultivator to launch such attacks! Impossible!"

The discussions from below reached the ears of Huo Ling and Wang Hui, and they exchanged shocked glances. Zhu Bufan's Evil Technique indeed left a deep impression on their minds, and they knew that with Emperor Yan's help, Zhu Bufan had learned many high-rank Martial Arts, but they had never imagined that Zhu Bufan could perform them to such an extent.

One must know, even if the rank of Martial Arts is high, it still seems like the user's ability is needed. If the ability is lacking, even if you learn Heaven Rank Martial Arts, it's useless; you might not even be able to perform them. But with strong innate ability, even lower human rank Martial Arts can be executed with tremendous power.

As if performing the Chenjiang Duanliu Break, although Zhu Bufan was already adept at utilizing it, the power he executed was far from its peak potential due to the disparity in his cultivation level. Yet, even though it was far from the peak power, Zhu Bufan was able to fully integrate into the technique, transforming himself into the move—a transformation possible only when Martial Arts cultivation reached maturity. This also meant that once Zhu Bufan's cultivation level reached the necessary standard, he would be able to unleash the full potential of the Evil Technique. For both onlookers witnessing Zhu Bufan performing the Martial Arts for the first time, how could they not be shocked?

"Don't look at me; I'm even more puzzled than you. This guy is truly a freak, and regarding this Evil Technique—it's tricky just talking about attacks. That's it." Seeing Huo Ling and Wang Hui looking at him, Emperor Yan just shrugged his shoulders, indicating he knew nothing about this Evil Technique.

"Just one Evil Technique and you're scared like this? That guy has a Killing Technique too. Really, even I was only able to integrate into moves with previously used Martial Arts, and this guy has already achieved it in the Bone Forging Realm? Could it be that this Tianxuan Sword Record was created by him? Nonsense, how could that be." Thinking about this, Emperor Yan felt a surge of frustration.

Just as the spectators below were surprised and puzzled, the Blood-colored Phoenix that Zhu Bufan had transformed into easily broke through Zhu Rong's Borrowing Fire to Return Fire. The original purpose of Borrowing Fire to Return Fire was to rebound the opponent's technique back at them, but under the assault of the Blood-colored Phoenix, it had no resistance and was easily torn apart. In fact, even if Borrowing Fire to Return Fire had worked, it would have been useless because Zhu Bufan had already transformed into the move, unsure who the rebound should target.

As Zhu Bufan's Blood-colored Phoenix broke through the Borrowing Fire to Return Fire, Zhu Rong finished creating the last stroke with the Summoning Flame Banner; a rune completely composed of True Fire formed and hovered in front of Zhu Rong, emanating an immensely terrifying and powerful aura. After completing the rune, Zhu Rong's flames also dimmed significantly, his once fiery hot hair now transitioning back to black, and the brilliant red marks on his body also faded into dullness.

"True Fire Technique? Heavenly Phoenix!"

As Zhu Rong's chant ended, the fire entwined in the rune rapidly expanded, transforming into a Fire Phoenix. Zhu Rong's Fire Phoenix, as it stretched its wings and soared upward, released a crisp and resonant phoenix cry, then charged directly towards Zhu Bufan's Blood-colored Phoenix.

"Will my True Fire Phoenix prevail, or will your misshapen Blood-colored Phoenix win? Let's settle this!" Zhu Rong, a bit staggered, landed back on the platform and shouted loudly. Judging by the weakening flames on his body, the continuous use of spells had nearly exhausted Zhu Rong, especially after releasing the powerful True Fire Phoenix.

As the True Fire Phoenix released by Zhu Rong surged forward, its form rapidly grew larger. The surrounding fire Spiritual Energy seemed to be completely absorbed by the True Fire Phoenix. Facing this True Fire Phoenix, Zhu Bufan's Blood-colored Phoenix seemed so diminutive.

'Boom!!!'

A loud boom erupted as Zhu Bufan's Blood Phoenix collided violently with the True Fire Phoenix. Subsequently, the Blood Phoenix Zhu Bufan transformed into shattered into countless blood-red Sword Qi fragments right before everyone's eyes, while the True Fire Phoenix, although dimmed significantly and reduced in size by more than half, clearly emerged victorious.

"How could this be?" Seeing the Blood Phoenix explode into blood-red Sword Qi, Huo Ling suddenly felt dizzy, her usually indifferent face turning pale, and Wang Hui was similarly shocked, only Emperor Yan in Huo Ling's arms remained indifferent, which, if said by others, could only be described as heartless.

"Don't worry, a phoenix that undergoes Nirvana can truly be called a phoenix. Those mere 'pseudo-phoenixes' that only bear the appearance of a phoenix but lack its traits can never defeat a real one."

No sooner had Emperor Yan finished speaking than the shattered blood-red Sword Qi fragments began drifting in the same direction. Soon, under the astonished gaze of the onlookers, they reassembled into a Sword Qi Phoenix. With a long cry, the Blood Phoenix soared into the sky once more.

"Phoenix Nirvana!"

As Zhu Bufan spoke, the Blood Phoenix transformed into thousands of phoenix phantasms, furiously charging towards the True Fire Phoenix summoned by Zhu Rong. Clearly unable to withstand Zhu Bufan's Phoenix Nirvana, the True Fire Phoenix was rapidly reduced in size and intensity of flames, until finally, as Zhu Bufan's main body, the Blood Phoenix, collided with it, the True Fire Phoenix also shattered into scattered flames and dissipated.

"How... possible..."

The Summoning Flame Banner fell from his hands, and Zhu Rong gazed up incredulously at the fading Blood Phoenix in the sky, his previously proud spell completely defeated by Zhu Bufan, an outcome Zhu Rong had never anticipated. With a 'snap', overwhelmed by the exhaustion of depleted Primordial Qi, Zhu Rong finally collapsed onto the arena floor.

"Zhu Rong, do you submit?" The Blood Phoenix dissipated, and Zhu Bufan reappeared, stepping on a Fire Lotus. At this moment, Zhu Bufan's Martial King Pattern gleamed with a blood-red light, his red eyes staring down at Zhu Rong, instilling a chilling fear akin to being watched by a Primordial Demon Beast. The intense Killing Intent and momentum, like a raging hurricane, forced the once proud Zhu Rong to lower his head.

"I... submit," Zhu Rong conceded, reverting to his original form as the Summoning Flame Banner reverted to its simple, original flagstaff. Hearing Zhu Rong admit defeat, Zhu Bufan returned to the arena, only to be met with a surprising gesture, "Since Zhu Rong has lost to you, from now on, I naturally pledge to serve you, please accept my bow."
