Urban Immortal Cultivation Supreme

Hearing the Elder announce that both Zhu Bufan and Ye Gucheng's copper plates could remain on the black stele, the expressions of some disciples from the Dark Sect changed slightly. The copper plate limit on the black stone tablet was sixteen, meaning only sixteen people could advance to the next round, and half of the participants would be eliminated.

Now with three copper plates already in place, at least one person's plate would not be confiscated, and that person would be able to challenge those above them by 'plucking' their copper plate. However, after witnessing the capabilities of Zhu Bufan and Ye Gucheng just now, who would have the courage to challenge these two?

No sooner had they finished, two more copper plates shot towards the black stele, followed by two figures beginning a fierce confrontation, with sword light and Qi Force scattering in all directions, igniting another intensely ferocious battle.

Unfortunately, after watching the fight between Zhu Bufan and Ye Gucheng, what should have been an exciting duel had now paled in comparison. The combat between Zhu Bufan and Ye Gucheng was simply not on the same level as their fight.

"Are you okay?" Upon seeing Zhu Bufan returning, Huo Ling inquired indifferently. The little fox instantly jumped out of Huo Ling's embrace and rushed back onto Zhu Bufan's shoulder, as if that were its safest haven, leaving Huo Ling quite annoyed as it hastily scurried away.

"It's alright, don't worry." With a slight smile, Zhu Bufan quickly swallowed a Purple Solidification Pill, and Huo Ling rolled her eyes at him saying, "Why did you come back so soon? You made the little fox run off."

"Eh~"

At Huo Ling's comment, Zhu Bufan was momentarily choked up. Now, Zhu Bufan seemed close to Huo Ling, but unlike before, they didn't draw many hostile glances. Zhu Bufan's display of strength had deterred all but a few Dark Sect disciples confident enough to challenge him. Even Lin Qingfeng, Zhu Zizhen, and others frowned deeply in contemplation.

Shortly thereafter, the fierce battle at Wenhua Hall concluded, and another copper plate on the black stele was taken down. Immediately after, two more copper plates shot out, and the combat between Zhu Bufan and Ye Gucheng seemed to have provoked the Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, each eager to showcase their strength. The Wenhua Hall was filled with relentless battles and sword light mixed with Primordial Qi scattered everywhere.

Eventually, Lin Qingfeng, Zhu Zizhen, and Han Ziyue couldn't resist entering the fray. Their cultivation significantly surpassed other Heavenly Sword Sect disciples, and they deliberately avoided direct confrontations. All three of them successfully advanced. After Han Ziyue's graceful figure descended, Wei Langqi, who had been spectating, finally stepped forward.

"Wei Langqi, ready for battle!" A golden glow shot towards the black stele, and immediately after, Wei Langqi appeared in the middle of Wenhua Hall, standing with his hands behind his back and a proud look, scanning the crowd. The slight smirk on his lips seemed to disdain everyone present, exuding a confidence that made him seem like he was the ruler of the day at Wenhua Hall.

"Haha, Sect Master, your son looks so bright and majestic~ His demeanor resembles yours closely, and there's even an underlying regal aura!" Members of the audience exclaimed at Wei Langqi's entrance, and pride flashed in Wei Tianxian's eyes.

"Indeed very similar, both arrogant, but that extra despotism is something you don't have." After nodding, Elder Huo agreed, but his words almost made Wei Tianxian furious. Wei Tianxian couldn't understand why Elder Huo described it as arrogance. Fortunately, Wei Tianxian couldn't tell the difference between 'despotism' and 'regality,' or else he might have been driven to confront Elder Huo.

Ignoring the reactions of the audience, Wei Langqi stood imposingly in the center of Wenhua Hall, sweeping his gaze over everyone. Disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect who hadn't fought yet immediately lowered their heads, not daring to meet Wei Langqi's eyes.

"What's wrong? So many people, and no one dares to step forward? This is a bit too much, isn't it?" With a slight smile, Wei Langqi suddenly raised his sword, lightly flicking the blade of his sword in his hand.

Seeing Wei Langqi's dismissive attitude towards everyone, Zhu Bufan's eyes narrowed. Zhu Bufan could see that Wei Langqi's cultivation was at Bone Forging Third Layer Heaven, the same rank as Huo Ling, though Wei Langqi had only recently entered the Third Layer Heaven and was at its Initial Stage, still quite far from Huo Ling. Nevertheless, this was enough for Wei Langqi to feel proud. After all, other than Huo Ling, who else could exceed him?

"This arrogant fellow, only at Bone Forging Third Layer Heaven and he's already so full of himself? Who does he think he is? Huo Ling is even more formidable than him, and so are you. Why is he acting so haughty?" Spotting Wei Langqi's arrogance, the little fox immediately spoke discontentedly. Without concealing its voice, everyone present could hear the immature tone of the little fox.

Hearing the little fox's voice, many turned their gaze towards it. While the individuals present were all elites who equally envied the little fox on Zhu Bufan's shoulder, no one had lost control yet. However, as soon as the little fox spoke, the situation immediately changed!

"Is that demon fox only two-tailed? It can already talk? How is that possible?"

"How could a two-tailed demon fox possibly talk? Even if it has high intelligence, it shouldn't be to this extent, right?"

"A talking demon fox, does that mean it can already use True Word Martial Techniques? The Fox Clan is extremely proficient in True Word Martial Techniques." Seeing the little fox could speak, even Wei Tianxian couldn't help but stand up slightly; others might not know, but everyone on this terrace knows how terrifying True Word Martial Techniques are.

"Not only can it talk, but that little creature can also transform into a human shape! I don't know what kind of luck Zhu Bufan has stumbled into, but thankfully, he is my disciple, and his renown only means that I have taught him well!" Thinking of this, Elder Huo became visibly excited again.

"A talking demon fox!" Likewise, Wei Langqi, who knew the value of the little fox, could no longer maintain his composed demeanor. A flash of greed passed through his eyes, and with a snicker, he said, "Such an arrogant tone this little fox has! Leave it to me to deal with it!"

Before his words even finished, Wei Langqi's entire figure flashed towards Zhu Bufan like a ghostly shadow, his right hand radiating a golden light as he reached down to grab the little fox, clearly intending to capture it. Despite knowing the little fox was at the Second Rank, Wei Langqi was confident he could subdue it, and his confidence was rooted in a solid foundation.

Everyone in the cultivation world knows, when demon beasts are at ranks one to three, equivalent to Human Rank among cultivators, they are generally inferior to cultivators at the same rank. It's not that demon beasts lack tough bodies or Primordial Qi compared to humans; on the contrary, at the same level, demon beasts have an absolute physical advantage. However, at this rank, demon beasts mostly rely only on their physical advantages to attack and don't use any martial arts techniques, which leads to their downfall.

But once demon beasts reach the Fourth Rank, entering the Earth Rank, their intelligence begins to develop, and they start to use some innate martial arts skills. Especially when they reach about the Fifth Rank, it becomes terrifying. If a same-rank human were to confront them barehanded, it would be extremely difficult to gain the upper hand. Of course, if one possesses a Divine Weapon, the outcome might be different.

As his hand reached for the little fox, the fox did not even bother to lift its eyelash, simply leisurely wagging its beautiful pair of fox tails, looking utterly comfortable and at ease. At that moment, a fist suddenly lunged towards Wei Langqi's wrist.

"Heaven and Earth Shock? Unlimited Qiankun!"

Carrying a strong gale, Zhu Bufan's fist targeted Wei Langqi's wrist. Seeing Zhu Bufan's move, Wei Langqi's eyes flashed with a sharp light. Then, under Zhu Bufan's gaze, Wei Langqi's left hand morphed a claw peck, and the golden light transformed into a shadow of a serpent clinging to Wei Langqi's hand.

"Golden Snake Hand? Golden Snake Entanglement!"

Like a Spiritual Snake, Wei Langqi's hand wound around Zhu Bufan's left fist with a force that clearly conveyed if caught by this Golden Snake Hand, one's bones would definitely be crushed.

A sharp light flashed, and in the instant when Wei Langqi's Golden Snake Hand was wrapping around, Zhu Bufan swiftly changed from fist to finger, his Qi Force from Unlimited Qiankun instantly turning into Unlimited Qiankun Dark Force. Zhu Bufan sharply pointed with his fingers, sending a surge of Dark Force into Wei Langqi's hand. Struck by Zhu Bufan, Wei Langqi's body slightly shook as he quickly retracted his hand.

"Brother Nie has such good skills, truly worthy of being Elder Huo's distinguished pupil. But don't you think it's a bit unbecoming for your fox to talk so wildly?" Having his hand waved off, Wei Langqi showed no anger but only smiled and subtly chastised Zhu Bufan, the tone making it clear for anyone to hear.

"The little fox only speaks what it sees, which is called 'children speak without restraint,' and it's not necessarily a bad thing... Moreover..." Zhu Bufan let out a slight cold laugh, "And indeed, I, Zhu Bufan, really can't hear how any of the little fox's words were unbecoming. Were the words the little fox spoke inappropriate? Everyone understands what those words meant, right?"

As Zhu Bufan spoke, everyone around went silent. Indeed, the words spoken by the little fox earlier did not insult or demean anyone. It just mentioned that Zhu Bufan and Huo Ling's cultivation weren't inferior to Wei Langqi's, which naturally couldn't be considered unbecoming, unless you elevate yourself, Wei Langqi, to a self-proclaimed pinnacle of propriety, but even Wei Tianxian wouldn't dare to position himself like that, so who are you, Wei Langqi?

Knowing his words were a bit over, Wei Langqi's expression tensed momentarily; however, soon after, Wei Langqi pulled up a smile again, saying, "Haha, Brother Nie is right; perhaps I was too sensitive. However, Brother Nie's skills are indeed extraordinary. No wonder you can fight indecisively against Ye Gucheng. I wonder if Brother Nie would be interested in exchanging a few moves with Wei Langqi?"
