Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

"Among a thousand, only thirty-two remain?" After glancing around, Zhu Bufan uttered with a bitter smile, and his gaze identified that there were actually a few acquaintances among them.

Among these people, Huo Ling goes without saying. It can be said that among those present, Huo Ling probably has the highest cultivation, at the pinnacle of Bone Forging Third Layer Heaven. To have such accomplishments at such an age, even throughout the history of Heavenly Sword Sect, it would be challenging to find many prodigies like this.

Zhu Zizhen, Lin Qingfeng, Han Purple Moon, and Ye Gucheng naturally wouldn't be left behind either. All four of them are currently in the Bone Forging Realm. Although, in Zhu Bufan's view, their realms weren't completely stable, with some variations in their power, but once entering the Bone Forging Realm, they've entered Bone Forging Realm. Even if their foundations are not yet settled solidly,

Apart from the aforementioned acquaintances, Zhu Bufan also saw a figure that was etched in his memory. This person was wearing a cyan robe embroidered with exotic beasts, standing out conspicuously amongst a crowd dressed in moon-white robes.

His black hair casually tied back gave him a quite elegant appearance, and the confidence and pride radiating from his eyes was intimidating, the slight curve of his lips seemed to mock how overconfident the people facing him were. This person, in demeanor and spirit, shared a resemblance of about seventy percent with Wei Tianxian, making anyone who saw him quickly guess that he was Wei Tianxian's son.

"Wei Langqi!" With eyes slightly squinted, a deep killing intent burst forth from Zhu Bufan's heart. Indeed, the youth in the distance, named Wei Langqi, was the 'Young Sect Master' who had insulted Zhu Bufan back then and whom Zhu Bufan loathed to the bone!

That furious killing intent from Zhu Bufan quickly transmitted to Emperor Yan's heart. Sensing the deep fury in Zhu Bufan's heart, Emperor Yan instantly understood, and through Zhu Bufan's eyes, he intensely stared at Wei Langqi. A streak of dark fiery light fleetingly shimmered in the depths of Zhu Bufan's eyes.

"Dark Demon, what's going on? You seem quite enraged now, huh?" Sensing the change in Emperor Yan's heart, the little fox immediately communicated telepathically to Emperor Yan.

"Humph! Even if I told you, you wouldn't understand, and it's too long anyway. Let it be, I'll tell you when there's time. Just remember that the guy wearing green beast clothing is an enemy, and one that needs to be decisively cut down!" Responding to the little fox's question, Emperor Yan somewhat sullenly said.

Sensing the hatred in the hearts of both Zhu Bufan and Emperor Yan, the little fox also instantly became equally resentful, as its deep blue eyes fiercely turned towards Wei Langqi.

As if sensing Zhu Bufan's gaze, Wei Langqi also turned his head towards the direction where Zhu Bufan was, but once his gaze landed on Huo Ling, it could no longer be shifted away. Previously, he had stood at the front, so he didn't see Huo Ling. Now when he turned his head, he couldn't take his eyes off her anymore.

A smile appeared on Wei Langqi's face as he slowly walked up to Huo Ling, slightly smiling, he said, "You must be Miss Huo Ling of the Dark Sect. It is said that the Huo Ling of the Dark Sect possesses both unparalleled talent and beauty within the Heavenly Sword Sect, seeing you today indeed confirms it!"

Undeniably, having inherited Wei Tianxian's looks, Wei Langqi was indeed a very handsome man. Paired with his tall and eminent physique, confident and proud gaze, and the family status as the son of the Sect Master of Heavenly Sword Sect, along with his extraordinary cultivation talent, all these factors qualified Wei Langqi as truly favored by heaven. Wei Langqi himself did not fail to live up to the advantages he was given. At a young age, he already possessed formidable cultivation.

In his demeanor, Wei Langqi also appeared to be very polite and well-mannered, like someone born of a noble family. However, in Zhu Bufan's eyes, this guy seemed purely like boasting and pretending. That seemingly gentle and cultured demeanor appeared so irksome to Zhu Bufan.

"Jealous?" At this moment, the voice of Jie Yuyan reached Zhu Bufan's ears. He turned his head and saw, as expected, Jie Yuyan was standing not far from Zhu Bufan. Seeing Zhu Bufan looking at Wei Langqi with resentful eyes, she smiled and said, "I mean, if you want to compare, you should at least find someone at your own level. If you're thinking of competing with the Young Sect Master, that is truly a bit too presumptuous."

"Is that so?" Casting a cold glance at the spirited Jie Yuyan, Zhu Bufan replied with a cold chuckle: "But in my view, you don't even qualify to compare with me."

"You!!"

In an instant, Jie Yuyan's face turned ashen. Her original intention wasn't to mock Zhu Bufan, but the words that came out were inherently stinging, and Zhu Bufan, not one to overthink, naturally responded in kind, not caring whether his opponent was male or female.

"Humph~ Well then, Little Star told me you're strong. I look forward to seeing for myself." Lightly stomping her foot, Jie Yuyan turned and left. At this moment, a majestic voice suddenly echoed within the great hall.

"Dark Rank competition, take your copper plates, and strike into the tablet. You may invite others to battle. The Dark Rank competition begins." It turned out that while Zhu Bufan and Jie Yuyan were talking, Heavenly Sword Sect Master Wei Tianxian, Elder Huo, and the four great Elders, among other outer sect Elders and lords, had already arrived at the viewing platform of the great hall. The speaker was an Elder standing in Wenhua Hall, presiding over the competition, next to whom, at some unknown time, a dark stone tablet had been placed.

"Tang Bugong, dare you accept my challenge?" A golden light flashed, shooting towards the dark stone tablet and miraculously adhering onto it. Hearing this arrogant voice, another streak of golden light rapidly shot from the crowd onto the tablet, "How could I not dare? Tang Bugong of Tianxuan Peak is also here!"

Two beams of sword light surged to the center of Wenhua Hall, then, with a thunderous battle cry and flying sword lights wildly lighting up, the surrounding crowd instantly swooped to the side, watching these two combatants exchange blows fiercely in the hall.

"Shake!!"

With a cold shout, the disciple Tang Bugong from Tianxuan Peak began to make his sword tremble wildly, and faint blue light crazily spilled out from his sword. As the sword vibrated, the air around also began to grow turbid.

"Chain Star Sword!!"

Faced with Tang Bugong's offense, his opponent, the provoking disciple from Heavenly Sword Sect, also unveiled his technique. With a swing of his sword, shadows of the blade instantly linked together like chains.

"Ha!!"

"Ha!!"

Both shouted loudly at the same time, and their respective signature moves fiercely collided, resounding deafeningly within the hall. The battle between the two was matched, starting off extremely fierce, and after a few exchanges, they plunged straight into a life and death struggle with martial arts.

"Is this a competition of the Dark Rank?" Watching the splash of sword light in the center and the two disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect fiercely battling, Zhu Bufan murmured to himself. The cultivation of these two, one at the peak of Body Tempering Eighth Layer Heaven and the other in the initial stage of Body Tempering Ninth Layer Heaven, both nearly matched in strength, and both had mastered quite a few powerful martial arts, making it truly hard to predict the winner.

"Defeat for me!!"

Another furious shout erupted. Tang Bugong's voice, like a thunderclap from clear skies, vibrated continuously like ripples, transforming into a long sword and directly slamming into the challenger. Instantly, that challenger from Heavenly Sword Sect flew out like a kite with its string cut.

A gentle sphere of light enveloped the ejected disciple from Heavenly Sword Sect, then Zhu Bufan saw an elder with a sweep of his grand sleeves, retracting one of the copper plates, leaving only a spot on the black stone tablet, after which, the elder loudly declared: "Tianxuan Peak's Tang Bugong wins, copper plate stays upon the stone tablet."

"Dark Sect's Zhu Bufan, come up!" Right as the elder's words fell, a golden light shot onto the black stone slab, and then Ye Gucheng's proud silhouette appeared at the center of the hall.

Regarding Ye Gucheng, everyone present obviously recognized him, each giving him surprised looks.

"How come this Purple Moon is going up so soon? And what's the background of Zhu Bufan, to have even Ye Gucheng personally come out to challenge?"

"I don't know, but it's unexpected, isn't it? That Purple Moon is entering the stage so soon, giving us a chance!" A disciple of Heavenly Sword Sect muttered, squinting his eyes.

"Zhu Bufan, you remember our agreement, right? Today is the best opportunity." Gently stroking the dragon-carved sheath of his sword in hand, Ye Gucheng coldly looked towards Zhu Bufan's direction, eyes shooting out a gaze sharp like a razor-edged sword.

Ye Gucheng's stance made Jie Yuyan quite surprised as she turned her head to look at Zhu Bufan. Lan Ruoxing had previously told her that Zhu Bufan was extremely formidable, but she didn't take it seriously until she heard from Lan Ruoxing that Zhu Bufan's cultivation had reached the Bone Forging Realm. However, upon seeing that Zhu Bufan's cultivation was only at the Body Tempering Sixth Layer Heaven, she was greatly disappointed, thinking Lan Ruoxing had lied, and was deeply provoked by Zhu Bufan's previous attitude, hence she harbored deep scorn and anger toward him, even having thought of challenging Zhu Bufan to beat him down to the ground.

However, Ye Gucheng's initiative to challenge suddenly made her somewhat sober. Although belonging to different peaks, she had heard of Ye Gucheng's name. She had some understanding of this cold sword-bearer, who famously only challenged those stronger than himself. And for him to step forward and throw the gauntlet at Zhu Bufan at this moment demonstrated in Ye Gucheng's eyes, Zhu Bufan must be even stronger than himself!

"Since you called out, not responding would make me look petty." With a casual flick, Zhu Bufan shot a golden light onto the black stone tablet, the fleeting light of the Blood Spirit Poison Fire on the copper plate caused the elder's eyes to suddenly brighten, arriving beside Huo Ling. Zhu Bufan then grabbed the little fox and handed it over to Huo Ling, saying, "Help me take care of Little Fox."

"Sure." Holding the little fox in her arms, Huo Ling nodded at Zhu Bufan, the seamless coordination caused quite a few in the crowd to feel discontent, especially Wei Langqi, who saw Huo Ling, who had never paid him any attention, intimate with Zhu Bufan like that, making this proud son of heaven feel quite annoyed.
