Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

"I've been waiting here specifically for you. I want to fight you with all my strength and determine who is superior," Ye Gucheng said coldly as he leaned against a tree and looked at Zhu Bufan.

"Why?" Although Zhu Bufan had somewhat anticipated the other's intention, he still couldn't help asking.

"Because you didn't draw your sword just now." It was a simple reason, almost childish like kids arguing, but Ye Gucheng was exceptionally serious, his sharp eyes emitting a cold light.

"Have you forgotten that this outing is meant to eliminate the ancient ruins?" Instead of accepting Ye Gucheng's challenge, Zhu Bufan's eyes also began to grow colder, "Do you really think that these duels among sect members are more important than the lives of people in the nearby villages?"

Every word from Zhu Bufan was as cold and sharp as a blade, but upon hearing this, Ye Gucheng became silent for a moment before saying, "I don't care about that. Right now, I just want to determine who is stronger between us."

"So obstinate! What is the purpose of your cultivation? Just for that ridiculous reason?" Zhu Bufan's eyes blazed with rage, and in an instant, he pulled out the Emperor Yan War Spear from behind. Then a tremendous surge of killing intent flooded towards Ye Gucheng like a fierce flood beast, his terrifying aura causing Ye Gucheng, who had been leaning against the tree, to shiver, his expression turning grave instantly.

"You've cultivated for so many years only for such trivial valor and violence. In your eyes, perhaps these villagers' lives are insignificant, right? Fine, since you wish it, I will fulfill your desire today, but it will not be a duel. Today, unless one of us splatters blood here, do not think it will end! Come if you're prepared! After all, killing a cultivator like you wouldn't weigh on my conscience."

The dense killing intent came rushing, and Ye Gucheng suddenly felt a difficulty in breathing. He now finally realized that he had always underestimated Zhu Bufan's strength and cultivation; such an aura could definitely not be released by a cultivator of the Body Tempering Realm, and this strength only fueled Ye Gucheng's fighting spirit even more.

"Put away your sword. If it really comes to a fight to the death, I will take action too. Don't call me despicable; remember this is no longer a duel but a fight for life and death, and if you fight, you are undoubtedly doomed." At this moment, the little fox perched on Zhu Bufan's shoulder also spoke, its two tails swishing while the surrounding mysterious water gathered around it, the majesty of a Second Rank Demon Beast completely displayed.

Feeling the threat from the little fox, Ye Gucheng's face changed again. After closing his eyes for a while, Ye Gucheng finally said, "At the sect's grand conference three months from now, will you come out?"

"I will." Zhu Bufan answered decisively to Ye Gucheng's question, internally shocked at how long he had already spent inside the tower.

"Good, let's defer today's outcome to three months later. Remember, I'm not afraid of the fox on your shoulder; I just want to truly experience your swordsmanship." Ye Gucheng slowly relaxed his grip on the sword handle and looked at Zhu Bufan indifferently. Seeing Ye Gucheng withdraw his fighting intent, Zhu Bufan also gradually retracted his fierce aura. Just as Ye Gucheng was about to turn into the forest, Zhu Bufan spoke, "Wait."

"Is there something else?" Seeing Zhu Bufan stopping him, Ye Gucheng frowned and looked back.

"Do you really intend to go forward alone?"

"Of course." After turning his head and stepping into the jungle, Ye Gucheng quickly disappeared from sight, and seeing Ye Gucheng leaving, Zhu Bufan smiled bitterly.

After Ye Gucheng left, Zhu Bufan continued forward. After a while, making sure no one was following, a black light burst from Emperor Yan War Spear behind Zhu Bufan, then the figure of Little Emperor Yan appeared beside him.

"Stinky lying fox, how much longer do you plan to stick around?" Seeing the little fox staying comfortably on Zhu Bufan's shoulder, Emperor Yan immediately became so angry that her cheeks turned red, her round face turning as cute as a red apple due to her anger.

With a flash of blue light, the little fox also defiantly transformed back into human form. Coming out, the little fox glared at Emperor Yan and said, "What, are you jealous? You can change like this too. Oh wait, I forgot you're a black demon and can't transform. Oh hahaha..."

Seeing the two little girls about to start a quarrel, Zhu Bufan quickly pressed down on each of their heads and said, "That's enough! Emperor Yan, use your sense to locate where exactly these ancient ruins are. And Bai Ling, no more trouble!"

Zhu Bufan's words were useful to the two young girls. Convinced by Zhu Bufan, the two girls finally shut up. Emperor Yan closed his eyes and soon pointed in a direction, saying, "Over there, there's the aura of an ancient creature. Such Demon Beasts usually have a family living here, and within thousands of miles, there won't be another family of the same kind, so it must be the one you are looking for."

"Alright, let's head in that direction." Hearing Emperor Yan's words, Zhu Bufan and the two lively young girls moved towards that direction.

While Zhu Bufan led Emperor Yan and Bai Ling towards the ancient creature's lair, a group from the Heavenly Sword Sect also rushed towards the same destination. Zhu Zizhen held something like a compass in his hand, which continuously pointed towards the lair, and the group hurriedly flew in that direction.

"Zhu Bufan and Ye Gucheng must be eliminated! However, Zhu Bufan's Demon Fox is a bit troublesome, and since ancient times, Demon Foxes can see through the killing intents in people's hearts, making them difficult to deal with. And Ye Gucheng's Fast Sword is not easy to handle either..." Zhu Zizhen thought about the pros and cons as they traveled, "When we attack the ancient creature, we'll find an opportunity to make a move."

With that thought, a deep killing intent flashed in Zhu Zizhen's eyes. Today's actions of Zhu Bufan and Ye Gucheng had deeply angered the youth of Moon Peak, and their high cultivation levels only fueled Zhu Zizhen's intent to kill.

While Zhu Zizhen and others were traveling, Zhu Bufan had already found the lair of the ancient creature. Looking at the dark and seemingly endless deep mountain cave, Zhu Bufan resolutely walked forward.

Just as he was about to step into the cave, a fierce gale rushed fiercely towards Zhu Bufan. Feeling the gale, Zhu Bufan didn't dodge but quickly drew out Emperor Yan's sword and fiercely slashed towards the source of the gale.

'Boom!!'

A loud noise erupted, and the Blood Spirit Poison Fire burst out fiercely. The white figure that attacked him was blasted back to the edge of a huge tree—it was a massive ape-like Demon Beast with four long arms, the very ancient creature they were to subdue.

"I was planning to find you, but you came to me, so you can't blame me." With cold eyes, Zhu Bufan's entire being seemed ghostly as he shot towards the ancient creature with a series of afterimages, the creature, which was blown away by Zhu Bufan's sword, wasn't injured. Seeing Zhu Bufan charging, it immediately let out a loud roar and pounced directly at Zhu Bufan.

The roar of the ancient creature quickly reached the ears of Zhu Zizhen's group and Ye Gucheng. Hearing it, Zhu Zizhen's face changed—he couldn't believe someone was leading the way faster than him, and that person was undoubtedly either Zhu Bufan or Ye Gucheng. Gritting his teeth, he loudly said, "Some fellow disciples have already found the creature's lair, let's not fall behind!"

As Zhu Zizhen and Ye Gucheng rushed towards them, Zhu Bufan, Bai Ling, and Emperor Yan were unabashedly ganging up on the ancient creature. Bai Ling's body released countless Water Belts, tightly binding the creature. Zhu Bufan's sword, infused with Blood Spirit Poison Fire, slashed across the creature's belly, turning the white fur pitch black, while Emperor Yan simultaneously punched fiercely on the creature's chest.

'Crack'

A clear sound of bone snapping resounded, the creature's chest instantly caved in, and in Zhu Bufan's hand, the sword transformed into Purple Cloud, a purple light flashed, and as the creature's head—which was bound by six limbs and had suffered severe chest injuries—was being severed by Zhu Bufan in one swift motion. The whole process was fluid, the creature barely moved after its initial pounce and never had a chance to counterattack.

"Boring..." Having killed the ancient creature, Emperor Yan's small mouth puckered up, "This kind of Demon Beast, you alone would have been more than enough to kill, asking me to act simply wastes my time! I'm not playing anymore, I'm going back, remember to call me only when something good happens next time!"

"Hey... where did you get the nerve to be so irresponsible... running off..." Seeing that Emperor Yan wasn't listening to him, Zhu Bufan could only give a bitter smile, and seeing Emperor Yan disappear, the little fox also lost interest in transforming into a human, pouting her lips, the little fox then said, "The black Demon is gone, the alert can be lifted. Hmm, it seems like someone is coming, I might as well change back to a Demon Fox!" After saying that, the little fox turned back into a scarf draped over the shoulders.

"What are these two girls really here for?" The actions of the two young girls left Zhu Bufan beyond description, and just then, Zhu Zizhen's group and Ye Gucheng also arrived at the scene, seeing the headless corpse of the ancient creature lying in a pool of blood. Everyone raised their eyebrows, surprised that a second rank middle-level Demon Beast could be so easily slain.

"You guys have arrived?" Seeing Zhu Zizhen and others, Zhu Bufan's bitter smile faded, and he spoke indifferently; after observing the corpse of the ancient creature for a while, Zhu Zizhen let out a slight smile, saying, "The strength of the Two-tailed Demon Fox is indeed powerful. It's no wonder Junior Brother Zhu Bufan was so confident." His words implied that Zhu Bufan had killed the ancient creature relying on the power of the Demon Fox.
